AMALIA TRUE:
Three years ago, I woke up
knowing things that I shouldn't

and was declared insane.

So, yes, I keep secrets.

She's not a fool,
and she's not a fucking baker.

The attack came three years ago.

This was designed

so that we would see the parts,
not the whole.

Maladie is the worst killer
in London's history.

HORATIO COUSENS:
You know who I work with?

Is this true?
You two must be dear friends.

Or you do go back a ways.
We all do.

Its power grows by the day.
It means to destroy us.

If we've lost hope...

it already has.

PENANCE ADAIR:
I'm going to the square
to stop that hanging.

I'm going to save Maladie.

LORD GILBERT MASSEN:
If London is going
to be saved from chaos...

it needs to see chaos.

(CLAMORING)

(LAUGHS MANIACALLY)

TRUE:
I do have a mission.

I am leaving to find
the Galanthi as we've planned.

It's the first step to learning

why we were brought here
together

and what we're meant to do next.

Crescent (on comms):
Second Boot, hold.
That's just a Cryer.

Byner, are we close?

Byner (on comms):
We're right on top of it.

Byner:
The whole system's gated.

Rex can't tap the O.S.
without a hard connect.

-Send little Rex.
-Major: Rex.

PDC creates A.I.,
forgets the I.

Like your systems
didn't clone our O.S.

Don't you listen to him.
You're a good bot.

You got any surprises
waiting in here?

I dearly hope so,
given the circumstances.

We were tracking the source
of the spatial anomaly,

same as you.

It was a FreeLife beacon
that tagged this place.

I don't know if they got inside.

Second Boot, tape his mouth.

-First tell me your name.
-Names are sacred, shitto.

My name is Major Joseph
Willing Greenbone,

FreeLife for life!

We do not hide from God
like you PDC dogs.

-We honor-- (grunts)
-Boot, say hello.

Boot (on comms):
We are the
Planetary Defense Coalition.

We are taking shelter here.

We've not come to fight,
but we are armed,

and will respond as greeted.

Hey. What's a Stripe
doing here alone?

-And why didn't we
read her heat?
-She possumed.

She swallowed glazers.
I watched her gurge 'em up.

-Her body temp
must've been nil.
-Shit.

(beeping, whirring)

(chimes)

You swallowed coolant pods?

(grunts softly)

The heat change'll
shred your organs
if you don't relax.

Is your stomach coated?

Pheen.

I can't give you pheen.

You'll never level
if you're zoned.

Byner:
All clear. Got a schematic.

Who's a good bot?

Anything upstairs?

Then we're alone.
Which seems wrong.

Stripe hasn't called colors.

-What's your Pride?
-Forty-first Ground,
out of Edinburgh.

No one got out of Edinburgh.

Three of us did.
The other two died
on the walk down.

Sixteenth Hailstormers,
D-field Green.

Our Stripe got taken out,
if you're mission fit.

I need to get her
regulated first.

She was possuming out there.

Also, there's a bullet
in my leg.

Sick bay's northeast quarter.

So ordered.
Boots, secure the "Major,"
and do a full sweep.

Byner and I will try to
contact Command.

I've never seen anyone possum
in this kind of cold.

I was running out of options.

Twenty FreeLife Marauders
dropped in an hour
before you did.

Twenty? Our scanners read eight.

I had an hour.

(grunts)

(groans)

-(exhales)
-Knitter: Lucky,
you being where you were.

Didn't feel that lucky.

-Pheen. Shit is weak.
-You get nothing pure.

Popping glazers?
That's not playing dead.
That's practicing.

-What's your PitSid level?
-(inhales)

Too high to make Crescent,
too high to go home.

Everyone has PitSid.
I got the most.

You get temporals? Flashbacks?

I'm not even sure this is now.

Great. You're mission fit.
You gotta jar me.

Oof.

You gonna ask me
what the mission is?

You're looking for a Galanthi.

-Who are you?
-My name?

That's a little forward.

I was married for three years,
and I never told either of them.

Come on.
Fighting over a side post
in the middle of nothing

'cause you saw a...
spatial anomaly,

which means a portal,
which is how the Galanthi
came here,

I figure Command saw
the FreeLife beacon,
lost their shit.

Sent your Pride in
'cause they were close,

and 'cause you are a spore.

Can I have my pheen back?

(mouths):
Fuck.

And the term is
"empathically enhanced."

"Spore" is a little rude.

Yeah. But only a spore
would call me on it.

Why is it rude?

Don't the Galanthi
rain spores on everyone?

Make 'em all wise and adorable?

Knitter:
The spores are translators.

They activate parts of the mind

needed to comprehend Galanthi
language and tech.

Not that I can.

I've never even seen one.

But it does broaden
the perspective.

What were these guys building?

-Museum?
-When was this even from?

Well, it's late Victorian.
Maybe early 20th?

Wasn't always a soldier.

-Knitter: Are those sim-strips?
-Boatload.

Byner can go through them.
He lives in sims.

Not just the fuck-tech.

Mostly the fuck-tech.

Stripe:
Please tell me he's not virgan.

All that "flesh is evil" crap.

What is this?

Every Galanthi project is huge.

Pure water systems,
tectonic stabilizers.
This is...

None of those are happening.

FreeLife bombed every site.
Killed them.

All of 'em?
Weren't there, what,
20 Galanthi?

-How many of them
are still alive?
-Maybe one.

Maybe more.

Command didn't know
about this one.

Well, so far, neither do we.

Second Boot (screams):
Fuck! Heat!

What the fuck is that?

Get the Crescent.

-Is that the Galanthi?
-Slow.

And quiet.
You don't wanna
wake this thing up.

Damn, those kids are gray.

There's a shaft right above it.

This is why they
hung the bodies there.

-What, they were feeding it?
-Knitter: What? No.

Galanthi don't drink blood
for food.

Major:
Oh, I remember now.

The boys that found
this place did get in.

They didn't have the firepower
to kill a Galanthi,

so they improvised.

Lit the beacon and got clean,
in case we sent nukes.

-Just kill this shitto.
-No. We are completely
off mission here.

We were tasked to
save the Galanthi,

and you all shot at it,
and hit one of ours!

-She is not one of ours.
-Don't shrill at a superior.

-We were repelling an advance.
-Knitter: It wasn't an advance.

-It was a fucking handshake.
-Byner: Yeah,
we weren't overly briefed

-on how all this would--
-What about the blood?

-Why would the FreeLife
go to all of that--
-Torture.

(scoffs)
We saw the bodies, genius.

Not the team.
The team was
just the method.

'Cause the Galanthi
bonded with 'em.

Cared for them.

It's basic torture protocol.

You always do the family first.

I would love to know your name.

Second Boot:
How could they get information
from the Galanthi?

Oh, Dainty, torture's
not about information.

Crescent:
It's about hope.

Removing the concept of hope.

But we've done all right.

We're all running hot,
but we found the Galanthi.

And it is still alive.

Well, now, that's
actually your problem.

I called for a full incursion
the moment we met resistance.

Thanks for the intel, big mouth.

So did we. (scoffs)
Wait. Shit...

So, a full engagement
20 feet above our heads?

Nuclear bombs flying everywhere.

We'll never survive that.
Nothing will.

Unless we settle the question,

and put that poor thing
out of its misery.

Close the damn portal.

Tell the world it's over.

You'll save many lives.

Including your own.

I need to reach Command.

Is this a bribe?

You have to help me.

Don't worry, ma'am.

The Planetary Defense Coalition
is here.

(clatters)

(sighs deeply)

What'd you expect?

They were gonna lay down
their lives for something
that gives them nightmares?

-They know what's at stake.
-Stripe: Which is what, exactly?

Why'd the Major say,
"Close the portal"?

I thought they'd close
once the Galanthi get through.

Not this one.
It's stable. It's--

Command think it's what the team
were helping it build.

Reinforcements?

You think there's more comin'.

Maybe the 20 were scouts.

Maybe the Galanthi
are just getting started.

This could be where
we turn the tide.

Do the job the PDC
was formed to do.

There's still time.

Nobody has to die.

Yeah.

Feel like someone's gonna.

(keys beeping)

Scientist (over computer):
It's hard to believe
we're finally here.

Everyone appreciates
the gravity of what
this might mean. (laughs)

Okay. Almost everyone
can appreciate the gravity--

Okay!
What are you after? Huh?

Do you want to do my report?

I never expected
such playfulness.

But seriously,
the team have worked hard,

they deserve
their celebration today.

-(clicking)
-(Major grunts)

How does a free-thinking
man like yourself

get so egregiously split-tailed?

I know you wanna
walk out of here.

To where? The planet's fucked.

I don't like the Galanthi,
but we need them to survive.

What if thousands of them
come through that rift?

Millions?

What if that freak downstairs
is just a pet,

sniffing us out?

It's the Crescent's call.

He doesn't wanna make that call.

And he left you with me.

Okay, then. We move it.

Can't. The storm is bringing
a static front.

Any kinetic movement,
your muscles explode.

You know what?
You win.

-What did I win?
-Whatever you want.

Whatever's here that's
gonna make you step up
and give a shit.

We've got a great selection.

Name your poison.

Can I mix, or do I just get one?

We are this close to winning.

Not the war, but the world.

Imagine winning the planet back.
Making it livable.

Floods, famine, terra-storms.

The Galanthi can make them stop.

-Then where are they?
-(gun clacks)

The portal's stable.
Why aren't they galloping
through?

-It's probably not finished.
-Why didn't they come before?

What about
the five billion people

that your great brainosaurs
came too late to save?

-They're not gods.
-Then stop praying to 'em.

(rumbling, clinking)

Can you do one thing for me?

Can you just hope
that we make it right?

I'm not afraid to fight,
if that's what it takes.

But it has to be for a purpose.

It has to matter.

-To you.
-You don't get to ask that.

-I just did.
-No.

-(gun clacks)
-You cannot.

Twenty-eight years of slogging
through blood and shit

-and towering disappointment...
-Oh, don't war story me.

-I've been in it.
-...has buried me here,
likely forever.

And I am not gonna die
waiting on a savior.

You're just really insistent
that we have to die.

Because this close is
where we always end up.

It's where we all fold.

This close, change is too scary,

even for the people
who fight for it.

That's why FreeLife always wins.

-They don't always win.
-They own history.

One fuckin' form or another,
the man who has the club--

I've heard all of this,
and I know it's not so.

Because you are spored.

Because I was FreeLife.

Born and raised.

I've done things that
you can't imagine.

And the spores,
they didn't make me
brilliant or brainwashed.

They were a question.

And it turns out that

nothing will crack this world
harder than one gentle question.

So, yes. I hope...

for a better world.

There's no reinforcements!

too convenient.

-Please, don't leave us.
-Stripe: Can we cut the power?

Rex must have tripped

The Galanthi locked us out.

He's got enough power
now to--

to get up to the portal,
and... Aah!

Hey, can I get

I'm bleeding out!

You were right.

It was always

Are you in any pain?

I ended up here?

Someone saw, or in the news?

Is that why you went

-A light?
-No, I think it's

It's a lot to take in.

No. No, no.

Aliens from the future
gave us magic powers.

It was staring me in the face.

Well, you've seen ailments
you can't explain

last few weeks, yeah?

Here in the ward, yes.
But I'm not...

Insane?

A woman.

Well, there's gotta be more.

The spores don't affect
everyone they hit.

I never understood why.

But they don't normally
cause random powers.

There's a pattern I'm missing.

Wish they'd let us
read the papers.

Why are you telling me
all of this?

-I trust you.
-Why?

-Did... did you see
something in--
-No. No. I...

Should I trust you?

Do you think I'm insane?

Maybe.

Maybe your alien was.

They were torturing it.

I don't know if
this is good news.

But you were right.
People are hiding it,

but it's all over.

Amalia:
No one's spored,

empathically enhanced.

There's no one
here to guide us.

To say here's what
needs to change.

Or... What?

-Fuck you.
-No, I'm--

No, I... Fuck you.
I was a mistake.

A mean joke. I'm a Stripe.

I'm not good.

I've got issues you literally
don't have names for yet.

I might be why
the spores were shit.

-You know what's coming.
And you care.
-I did my time!

I spent a lifetime fighting
and it didn't make any...

Why would it put me in this?

Yeah, this doughy little frame.
It's perfect.

I got world-class tits,
but I can't see over a chair.

It's a...

...good frame.

And nobody was using it.

I gotta get out of this place.

Then you might not want
to say "fuck" quite so often.

And give me back my morphine.

Fuck!

Lester says just a few weeks.

I do feel so much better.

I miss his cooking, though.

A man who cooks.

(in British accent):
A man... who cooks.

He said the light might
have been a German balloon.

A zeppelin.

He doesn't know
what's going on about God.

How He's gonna
give us a mission.

(in Stripe's voice):
You didn't say anything,
did you?

About us, or the mission?

You don't have to ask me that.

You're the one I trust
to trust me back.

Dr. Hague:
Ladies!

I'm Dr. Hague.

I've been hearing about you two.
Which one is Amelia?

Amalia. Molly.

Then you must be Sarah.

(laughs softly)

What, uh...

What have you been hearing?

Well, first of all,

that you two may be among
the-- the Touched.

That's what they're calling
these people who've...

blossomed these
last few months.

"Touched."

They called me that already.

(laughs)

I'll tell you what, Sarah,

I'm looking for someone
to do a special study with

at my facility.

I'd like to spend a minute
with each of you.

One on one.

Can you give me a minute

-with Amel-- Amalia?
-(chuckles)

And then you and I
can have our own little chat?

(footsteps departing)

They tell me that
you can see the future.

No, I... feel it.

Suddenly. Like I'm falling down.

But I'm not.
And then later, I do.

Once, I smelled oat cakes,

and we had them that night.

I don't like to think
about it too much.

It hurts a little.

I wouldn't want to study it.

It's not a volunteer study.

Tell me...

about the lights.

Sorry?

Dr. Hague:
The lights in the sky.

When you were admitted.

I didn't see any lights.
I was...

Well, I fell in the river.

I jumped, I guess.
I don't remember.

(imitates British accent):
I don't remember.

Huh. Can that really be true?

-The Matron said you were
very outspoken about--
-It was Sarah.

She was terribly upset. She...

said she saw God in the sky,

and no one would believe her.

I lied. Because, well,
she wouldn't stop crying, and...

Well, she never let it go,

and I couldn't tell her
that I...

When the weird things happened,

she said it was proof that
there was a "mission"?

Please don't tell Matron
what I did.

I just wanted Sarah to be happy.

To have something to...

She thinks she's getting better.

JANE ESPENSON: We always wanted
episode six to start

with a jarring image
of a spaceship in outer space
kind of thing.

This is where the story started.

In the future,
there is this altar,

and it starts there.

So, this is, sort of, everybody
catching up to that place

where the narrative
actually began.

(GASPING)

JANE: We meet Stripe,
who is the character

who goes on to become
Amalia True.

LAURA DONNELLY:
When we first meet her,
she is fighting

for the survival
of the human race.

All of the dreadful ways
that we have been treating

our planet and treating
each other have all come
to bear.

JANE: There is a war
over the prospect

of a helpful alien species,

who is going to come save
mankind from itself,

and which many people don't want
help from them.

My name is
Major Joseph Willing Greenbone.

Free Life for life.

We do not hide from God
like you PDC dogs. We are--

(GRUNTS)

In the first chapter, we meet
the Free Life Army and the PDC.

And Stripe is a soldier

who's fought probably most
of her professional career
for the PDC.

I've never seen anyone pass 'em
in this kind of cold.

I was running out of options.

Twenty Free-Life marauders
dropped in

an hour before you did.

Our scanners read eight.

I had an hour. (SIGHS)

CLAUDIA BLACK: Stripe,
she's such a survivor,

and she's pretty wrecked.

She's a professional
life soldier, you know?

She has just fought...

for what she's hoped has been
the right side of history.

And so, there's this real,
inherent tension in Stripe,

and we meet her at a really
sort of fateful point

in her experience.

Stripe's team, the PDC,
are there to try and protect
the Galanthi,

and so much life has been lost
in the process over the years

that they've almost
all forgotten

what they're fighting for.

PDC SOLDIER: Hold!

Fuck me!

CLAUDIA: The Galanthi,
as we come to know them,

have come, obviously,
to help us,

to try and wake us up

and help us understand
what's at stake.

And they've been trying
to communicate with us,

and the PDC's job is to try
and protect them at all costs.

Everyone appreciates the gravity
of what this might be. (LAUGHS)

JANE: The Galanthi is
a highly evolved, benevolent,

intelligent, emotional alien.

It has found
a particularly difficult species
to help elevate.

I never expected
such playfulness.

really just starts

from sketches on paper.

it was... uh...

elephant, octopus, T. Rex.

The wiseness of an elephant

and-- and that-- that great,
like, tough gray, leathery skin.

But then, we wanted
the alien-esque qualities
of an octopus,

where, like, light can
translucently pass through it.

The T. Rex part was to give him
an assertive attitude as well.

If provoked, it can be scary.

-(DEVICE BEEPING)
-No.

CLAUDIA: It seems to be
towards the end of the chapter

that, in fact,
this particular Galanthi

is wanting to go home
through the portal,

and it may very well
close over once it's gone.

NITTA:
Can you do one thing for me?

Can you just hope
that we make it right?

CLAUDIA: Stripe gets to a point
at the end of this chapter

where she's pretty much
been convinced by Nitta
to have hope,

and Nitta is shockingly killed.

In that moment, Stripe says,
"That's it! I'm finished."

enough to know that, um,

that the Galanthi is where her--
her hope should lie as well.

that really sets that in motion,

first of all, of course, is--
is hearing Mary's song.

which is a message
from the Galanthi.

she decides to go and try

out what she needs to know next.
