Original subtitles

Previously on The R. We can't let anyone know about this.

Not about them.

Hey, what's up?

That's okay, long enough.

I'm going to move the slab away from her.

Guys,

you have to see this.

You're not going to be there with the madman.

What's wrong?

She's not there.

Okay. You can't fucking control me. Don't try it again.

You owe me your life. You should be thanking me. Thank you. Now, please, get

out of my head.

Give me the talent for even all you want.

Need a sputter?

I'm okay.

Good. You don't need any distraction.

Now... You

know

what?

I do need a spolter.

I just want to weave it stronger.

Oh?

How's that for strong?

I see what you're doing. I don't care.

I admit I was wrong, and I accept my defeat.

You're going to have to pay the price for doubting me.

And what's that, then?

You

know

what?

Have your phone while you can.

Because everything's going to change once we get to home base.

You're taking a million cells?

Oh, I'm extracting a lot more than that. But I only need a million cells to grow

a culture to study it.

Okay? You're numbed. Deep breath.

I'm pretty sure the cure for Gen 3 psychosis has to do with why you're...

Yeah, but receptor genes don't degrade.

You might feel a small pinch.

All done.

Oh.

That wasn't too bad for a needle to my spine.

Technically, it went in your brain stem.

What's next? How can I help?

Well, um... Captain, we're picking up a distress call. It's from Arc 16.

Oh. Go do Captain's stuff.

I'll design stuff.

You got it.

Set a court. I'm on my way to the bridge now.

Mr. Strickland?

Alicia? Yes, good news. Your name's being cleared. It's safe to come home.

Well, that's a relief.

Thank you.

Oh, thank Mr. Vega.

He got Lottie to trick Veston to say... Alicia?

You better send the Pyre's team to my location.

What? Why?

I just found something.

I repeat, this is Captain Kevin St. John of ARC-16.

We are under siege.

Please send help.

The message is 31 hours old. And we might still be able to help.

What do we know?

ARC-16 was one of the last ARCs to launch under GSA command.

Where are they now?

DINA-197 listed in our database as a colonization candidate.

Could someone be challenging them to the planet?

Statistically unlikely.

Not everyone is as open to peace as you are, Captain.

Maybe TF1.

Avegasil hasn't been able to contact them.

Maybe they missed the memo that the war is over.

Or it could also be a trap.

Drake is still searching for you. The thought crossed my mind.

We're approaching the coordinates.

Dropping out of FTL in three, two...

Don't see any evidence of a colony on the surface.

I don't detect other ships in orbit, except ARC-16.

It looks undamaged.

All their systems are functioning.

It's life-size for 285 people.

Yeah, I don't see any signs of an attack.

Heal them?

I've been trying to, but there's no response.

Can we tap into their internal cameras?

They're offline.

And the only way we're getting answers is to go over. We should be cautious.

Keep the boarding party small and armed.

Agreed. Shuttle in ten. Ava, you're with us.

Maybe I should come with you?

I need you here.

I'm taking Ava, so I need an engineer on the ship.

Oh, for a second there, I thought it was about professional variety.

Um, it wasn't, but now it is.

There's an unknown contaminant in the air.

I'll take a sample.

Copy that.

Helmets stay on.

Fire, the bulkhead's closed.

The seam's off, right?

A little bit.

Can you do a sweep with Hendricks and Wilson?

David, see if you can pull anything off the internal feeds.

So, you and Ian finally decided to go for it in real life.

Is that obvious?

Pretty much.

Can I ask you a question?

How do you and Bryce draw professional boundaries?

Boundaries? Good thing you didn't walk in on us earlier in the gym.

I'm in. Half the bulkheads are in lockdown.

Most of the WD signatures I'm detecting are behind the lockdown.

So they're either locked in or keeping something out.

She slept with my wife.

You didn't have a wife.

Wait!

Give me to Garnett.

You better come to the meth hall.

Come on.

What happened?

They all have some sort of skin condition.

Must be an infection or some sort of poisoning from the contaminant we

detected. But we just saw two crew that had it.

They were alive these people didn't die from an infection this woman's head is

smashed in This man was stabbed

Think this person was strangled

these people killed each other

You're killing

him My first officer mutinied.

I couldn't allow that.

What's on the back of your hand, Captain?

Who are you?

Captain Sharon Garnett.

We're from Arc One.

You boarded without permission.

We were answering your distress call.

What happened here?

You want to take my ship? We're here to help you.

Sir, you need to step back now.

Captain, do anyone still loyal? We have intruders.

Do not let them escape.

Sharon, back to the shuttle. We'll figure this out for Mark One.

Go. Go.

The less

contact,

the better.

protocol here in five four three two one the air is free of

contaminants let's go before they get in here and recontaminate

It's safe for everyone to take off their helmets.

Is everyone okay?

Good. First order of business when we get to Arc One, figure out how to help

those people before they kill each other.

It's okay. I'm fine.

Yeah, I'll be the judge of that.

Pupil dilation normal.

Autonomic responses are good. And you have no residual pain.

I don't even have a headache.

Seriously?

You were screaming when that thing electrocuted you.

Has the object been dormant since it attacked Kelly? Yeah.

But only after half of it changed to English.

That would explain the results I got from a diagnostic around Kelly's

implants. It looks like your brain CPU sent out a massive data signal when you

were shocked.

I wonder if somehow your augmentation is connected to the slab and triggered a

reverse subcarrier wave.

I love you, but sometimes I don't understand the words that come out of

your mouth.

I think the slab learned English from Kelly through her implants.

Like, it copied a whole language from her brain.

So it's just lucky we have a post-human that can connect with the technology in

the slab?

Well, the people from the cave discovered your implants.

And you were their prisoner.

Wait, does that mean that the triangle device that activated the slab was left

specifically for Kelly?

So you think I was targeted?

Or chosen.

Thank you for helping put my innocence at ease.

We stand together, or we fall alone.

I gave...

Lassie work release in exchange for her aid.

But she's worried about retribution.

I don't blame her. We don't know who among the Blackthorn are still loyal to

them.

Including some people working in security.

Anyone on Arc-11 is a suspect.

Just because they aren't from Arc-11 doesn't preclude them from being part of

another Blackthorn unit.

What do you think?

Can't trust any former GFA members of the security team. What I'm saying is,

we don't know if we can.

Which is why I'd like to put a former EF security man in charge.

Agreed. On an interim basis, until we round up Vess and her team.

Trust to Felix, I'm studying this object you found and, well, it'll be easier to

explain if you just come back out here.

If I don't conquer.

This is quite the puzzle you've discovered here, Felix.

Look at the scorching.

Look how the ground is disturbed.

This is an impact radius.

It fell from the sky.

I think this fell from orbit.

This appears to be part of a piece of machinery that fused under the heat of

re-entry.

Debris? From what?

Too damaged to tell.

All I do know is that it's not ours.

It's not from something in orbit. You have two of one of those full-section

bulbs. No, they're all intact. I checked.

This has been here for at least a year.

Maybe more.

How can you be sure?

Well, the trees are scorched.

But we're stood in the shade.

This has been here long enough for the canopy to regrow.

That explains why we never saw it in flyovers.

Mr. Trust.

We found more debris to the east.

Like, a lot more.

Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce to you Mr. Raymond Quinn.

With the unfortunate death of Mr.

Petrovich, Mr.

Quinn will be taking command of security for now.

He picks the neatest guy.

Yes, sir.

I appointed a man I served with.

Did I know I can trust him?

Of course.

Sir.

Does anyone else have an opinion?

Dismissed.

Unidentified Blackthorn members.

Some of them could be among your men.

So why don't we just relieve all the former GSA of duty?

Because it's easier to catch a rat inside your house rather than out.

We can't help ARC-16 until we figure out what that contaminant is and where it

came from. If they were scouting the planet to settle, the pre-colonization

team could have picked it up down there.

Sorry, I'm late.

I've been analyzing the air sample you brought back.

What's the verdict?

Not good. The particulate replicates at an extremely high rate. The rash you

described in the ARC-16 crew is likely a histamine reaction.

So it's a virus. No, it's not viral. It's also not bacterial or parasitic. It

behaves in ways I don't understand.

Can you stop it? Not until I run more tests and figure out exactly what it is.

We don't have time to wait. The ARC-16 crew is at each other's throats. Some of

them have already killed each other. Can we sedate them until Dr. Bear figures

out a cure?

Not remotely.

I could take a squad over, put a sedative into their air system. Good

idea. Keep the team small, make sure you're armed. I'll work on an insertion

plan.

Once we get to your planet, you're going to do as you're told.

Or what?

It's not like you can actually do anything to me, as far as I can see.

Other than give me a migraine.

That being said, it's a pretty big frigging migraine, the way you just go

on and on. What?

Sorry.

Baby's sorry I was lost in thought there. I left my day to bed here.

Hey, wait, wait, wait, wait.

You mad at me?

I was attacked on a mission, and you didn't even meet me at the airlock.

Yeah, I'm sorry.

Amy, I'm sorry I got distracted. I'm an ass.

You've been acting strange, and I want to know why.

Well, yeah, because I died.

Don't use that as an excuse.

This started when you left Homebase. What started?

Cheating on me.

Cheating on you? What are you talking about? With Kimmy.

Are you being serious? Yes.

Do you not remember a few months ago when she... Literally wanted me dead.

She wanted you dead because she was in love with you. What?

Oh, my God. Don't make fun of me.

What the hell is that?

Nothing.

And certainly none of your damn business.

You got a minute?

Yeah, I'm just waiting for Kimmy's insertion plan for Arc 16.

Listen, sorry if I was a little bit pushy about coming on the mission.

Oh, and for being charming in public.

I promise to maintain professional propriety.

Although some of that is on you resisting this handsome face.

I knew it.

You don't actually want to be with me.

Wait. That's not at all what I meant. I know what you meant.

Okay?

You don't have any real feelings for me?

I'm confused.

Where is this coming from?

No one could ever love me. I'm a Gen 3 freak.

I don't think that at all. No one thinks that.

The real question is...

Why are you pretending to be in love with me? Can we rewind for a second? I

just came by with a gift.

Hold that weapon and I'll snap your neck.

I thought you were cooking for me.

It's peanut butter.

Chocolate chip.

Chip.

You think I'm an idiot?

I know it's poisoned.

Okay.

I think we need to go see Dr. Kabir.

You're not going anywhere.

What were you doing in the server room, Novak?

Why?

What the hell gave me that hurt?

You're an EF spy.

I don't want to fight you.

Oh, it's not going to be a fight.

The test results for Darts of St. Ersan.

Oh, great. Thank you.

Interesting.

It's behaving more like a protozoan.

We were looking at it wrong.

The infection isn't caused by an airborne pathogen. It's caused by an

airborne spore. Like a fungus.

So it settles on the skin and releases an ergot alkaloid that must affect

dopamine and cortisol levels.

The rash isn't the byproduct of the infection.

It's the cause.

Kabir to Garnet.

Kabir to Garnet.

I have to find her.

Clear the way!

Timmy, what is going on?

We have to get this spy to the brig.

The infection has gone up one.

I drew this.

And this.

And this.

And this. And this. And this.

Why?

I have no idea.

Because I drew them all in my sleep.

I took a nap and I woke up on the floor surrounded by pages of whatever this is.

You did?

All of this in your sleep?

Yeah.

Sounds like automatic writing.

But there's no scientific proof such a thing really exists.

I would say it really exists.

Your implants seem to be functioning properly.

There's nothing wrong with them?

Well, I didn't say that.

This lab obviously did something to you. We just can't detect them.

I'm detecting more debris.

Why haven't we found any of this before now?

Because we never knew to scan for it.

And the tree canopy is too thick to get a visual from this height.

It's all on one line. Which means it must have been one large object which

broke apart in the upper atmosphere leaving this trail.

What is it?

The trail stops here.

So it's possible that whatever it was, the bulk of it lies at the bottom of

this lake.

I'll take it lower.

And I'll run a lead up, Gans.

There is something down there.

I might be able to assemble an image.

I don't see it on here. Me neither.

Well, stylistically, they're similar.

Very similar.

What's similar?

We're not seeing a match for what you drew here, but it's the same as the... I

don't understand.

We're pretty sure that the symbols on here represent the language of the

people who abducted you and Angus.

No, I mean, what symbols?

That thing is all in English.

Half of it is English.

All of it is English.

Are you saying you can read this?

Of course.

It says the same thing on both sides.

Or almost the same.

Is this a joke?

I'm not good with jokes.

Kelly, half of this is still just symbols.

You really see the same thing on both sides?

It's not word for word, it's...

Look here.

This says error, but over here it says mistake.

You're pointing to another language.

I swear, I see it in English. So weird.

It wasn't a reverse subcarrier wave.

It was a two-way subcarrier wave.

Wait, what?

When this lab took English from you, it also gave you rich language. Like, the

CPU in your brain is translating for you. Rich language, okay. Wait, uh,

okay. If you can understand their language, we might finally be able to

communicate with our neighbors.

But if I can translate all this, why can't I translate that?

There is indeed something in that lake.

Produced an image. Yes.

It's a ship.

It's a UFO.

My God, are you sure?

My son's on that ship.

I need you to come with me to Medbay, okay?

Why?

You were right.

Drake is after you. He's after me, too, because I have Dr. Hall's Gen 3

research.

We're in this together, Sanji.

First, let me take care of Drake's age.

No! No!

We... We might need to interrogate him later.

You're the only one I can trust, Angie.

You coming?

Or synthesizes chitin polysaccharide.

And it's basic. It hits a lot like an earth fungus. Are you talking about the

ARK-16 infection?

Yeah, but it's on ARK-1 now, too.

So, theoretically, the strong antifungal will counteract it immediately.

Wait. If it's on ARK-1, why don't you have it?

Um, because I was late to the briefing by an hour.

And that's why I would have first been infected.

I probably have less than 15 minutes until I start exhibiting symptoms, so...

Wow. I'm really glad you figured this out before I started showing symptoms.

Yeah.

Me too.

Did you just infect me with this sickness? No, no, no. It's the

antifungal. It's the antifungal, which, um... Apparently it doesn't work.

So what killed the fungus?

Damn it, this isn't my area of expertise.

Sounds like an Angus thing.

Shame you can't ask him for help.

Wait, that is a great idea. Why can't we ask Angus for help?

He knows what he did.

Did you hear that?

No.

You never died.

It was all a lie to cover up your affair. You need to defuse this

situation. You've lost your bloody mind.

How is that defusing? The least you can do is be honest with me. You're in love

with Kimmy.

Sweetheart, I don't know how to pronounce the woman's name. Just tell me

the truth.

The truth?

Yes. Fine.

Okay, here's the truth. Here's the truth. I'm dead, right? I know that this

is real.

Oh, just be a man and come clean.

You've made your judgment. Oh, stop it.

Stop it.

You're not real, and you're not real.

I'm done with you, and you're alive.

You have it to Kimmy.

Where are you?

Uh, have you tried antifungal? Okay, that was the first thing I tried. You

think I'm a moron, don't you?

Okay, sorry.

I don't have a lot of time.

Okay, actually, I don't have any time, so I need something right now.

Uh, okay.

Intense UV light could kill a fungus, but that'll hurt.

Okay, thanks. Bye.

I heard a scream.

Am I?

Now.

We need to make sure Drake isn't putting a tracker on you.

I was content.

It felt like everyone was out to get me.

How are you feeling now?

Embarrassed.

What did you do?

UV disinfectant wand.

I turned off the safeties and cranked it up, but it's only a temporary solve.

Because we don't have time to use it on the whole crew?

Well, and the spores are still in the air.

So we're already reinfected.

Probably.

But I have an idea. There's a small amount of UV in our lighting system.

It's a combat depression from lack of sunlight.

You want to turn ARC-1 into a giant disinfectant wand? Yeah, if we can

figure out how to recalibrate the environmental system.

I do happen to have an engineer tied up in my cabin.

It's only going to hurt a minute, I promise, but I have to kill the

infection that's making you sick.

Almost there.

Space virus, really?

Space virus. Same difference.

Big difference.

A fungus we can kill by adjusting the UV in our lights to disinfectant levels.

Assuming you know how to do that.

Just get me to the cert room. I'll crank it up as high as it goes. It's more

complicated than that. If you push the UV wavelength above 222 nanometers, you

will blind the entire ship.

Oh. So no pressure, then?

They're everywhere.

They're going to kill each other.

Oh,

I'm

in the environmental system.

General safety.

Shift our UV output to 4 UVC and adjust the wavelength.

222 nanometers.

That's the magic number.

She's an EM5!

She's sleeping with pride! She's an EM5!

We're going to have to go dark for this to activate.

Oh, that's a good boy.

They're fine.

Ava, I'm so, so sorry.

You guys good?

Yes.

You okay?

I

don't

have the words to thank you, Captain.

Thank my crew.

They were the ones that were able to remotely access your environmental

controls and sterilize your ship.

We lost 39 souls.

They were good people.

I have no doubt.

What exactly happened?

We followed protocol and sent the scout team to the planet.

They came back at each other's throats.

Well, we'll put a beacon into orbit to warn others that Dino-197 isn't

habitable.

Where do we go now?

After years in space, we are still homeless.

Not quite.

Are you familiar with the Trappist system?

No. Well, we built a nice colony there called Home Base One.

I'm so sorry.

Stop it.

It was the fungus.

Or the spore. Or whatever it is we've decided to call that space shite.

Should we reset?

Yes, please.

Okay.

I know there's no other woman.

Of course there's not.

Permission to join, Captain?

Sorry.

Couldn't resist.

Please don't make this harder. I... I didn't mean what I said.

Stop. It was just the infection.

I got a little crazy too. It's fine.

I'll let you into a little secret.

Sometimes, I get nightmares about the fact that I was bred for bath.

I didn't know that.

Because I never told you.

And anyway, it kind of got me worried that you... That I'm going to steal your

liver?

No, that the infection might have tapped into your deepest fears too.

You really believe that no one could ever love you?

First not.

I mean, you're way too smart to be that dumb anyway.

Everyone on this ship loves you.

Everyone. Everyone on the home base loves you.

And I love you.

I probably should have waited till we were alone for that last part. I love

you too.

Okay, Captain.

Okay.

All right, yeah, I get it. I'm down now.

This way.

Dad?

I don't have the word.

Then don't try.

I've analyzed the images, but I can't tell why EF-1 fell out of the sky.

I don't know about your GSA arcs, but Eastern Federation ships don't generally

fall out of the sky.

No, no, of course not.

It must have been shot down. By what?

You all need to see this. It's, um...

We started a grid search at the lake shore and found an area of disturbed

ground. So we started digging.

What have you found?

Bodies.
