All language subtitles for Nightflyers.S01E01.WEBRip.x264-PBS[ettv]

This is Dr. Agatha Matheson

of the "Nightflyer."

We have sustained fatalities,

structural damages.

We...

This is a warning...

Not a distress call.

Do not board this ship.

Do not bring the "Nightflyer"
back to Earth.

Me again.

No! No!

No!

Hold still.

- Any sickness?
- Sores?

No.

- He's clear.
- Let him through.

Thank you.

Joy?

Hey.

Hey.
Everything okay?

Flights have been grounded.

Quarantine zones
are back into effect.

They're... they're saying

it might spread north this time.

Hey, we'll be all right.

They've said that before.

What is it?

The funding?

- You got it?
- No.

Presentation was horrible.

They... they practically
threw tomatoes at me.

Aww.

- Then, what?
- Afterwards...

I got a call...

from Roy Eris.

And he's seen all my
calculations,

the intercept, the Teke
waveforms, all those...

What... what does that have

to do with him
building colonies?

He sees the potential
in all of this.

He sees what I see.

He... the power...

beyond our comprehension,
all of it, he...

He wants me to assemble a team.

A team for... for what?

Eris called me from the deck
of the "Nightflyer."

He wants to take me there.

I'm going after the volcryn.

Um...

I am...

That... that's incredible.

Hey, um,

I know how hard this is.

But this is everything
I've worked for.

I'm happy for you, it's...

It's just, it's...

- It's unexpected.
- This mission...

could change everything.

It could save the Earth.

What do we tell her?

You'll be...

gone.

Maybe two years.

Joy, I... I'm sorry,

but if I don't go...

and they pass us by...

I'm gonna come back.

I promise.

I'm scared that you won't.

Daddy?

Hey, honey.

We wake you?

I'm sorry.

Want me to bring you back
to bed?

- Yeah.
- Okay, come on.

That thing you found
in the sky...

it's a ship for people?

It might be.

That's what I'm gonna find out.

And you're going

to go talk to them.

Yeah, I'm gonna try to.

Here.

Give them...

this...

Friendship bracelet...

so we can all be friends.

I think they'd really like that.

- Daddy?
- Mm-hmm?

You're my...

Memory paused.

Go for D'Branin.

Professor, the shuttle
has arrived,

and they're prepping
the cargo for offload.

How long till we break orbit?

Six hours.

You nervous?

We're going into the Void.

No one's done it before.

"Eagle 16" did it.

No one's done that
and come back.

Well, we're with Roy Eris.

I think we're in good hands.

- Hi.
- I'm Melantha Jhirl,

- Karl's mission specialist.
- Sorry.

Mel, Lommie,
this is Dr. Matheson.

Oh, Agatha's fine.

I'm a psychiatrist.

- I'll be looking after Thale.
- I'm excited to meet him.

I've never met an L-1 before.

Mel and I planned every aspect

- of this mission together.
- Karl was nervous

that a group of scientists
wouldn't be able to survive

- out in the Void.
- But Mel has been

born and raised
for space travel,

so she'll get us through it.

- Won't you?
- I'll do my best.

Lommie... Thorne.

It's nice to meet you.

Lommie talks to the ship.

Internal systems, data flow,

- coding.
- Neural port?

Yeah.

Wow.

It's not much to look at,

but, uh, it's all they had.

- Oh.
- It'll get the job done.

- I think it's great.
- Yeah.

Most of them would rather

we weren't on their ship at all.

Right.

We got a special delivery
coming in.

I want full security
on this one.

Quick and clean.

- The next bin holds an L-1.
- A fucking L-1?

- God damn it.
- Captain Eris wants him

on the ship, so we're
bringing him on the ship.

Let's get this done.

Gear up.

Dr. Matheson,
you really think your L-1

can communicate
with the volcryn?

Karl does.

Yeah, I do.

Look, the Teke energy
that comes off telepaths

is the exact same energy
we detected

coming off the volcryn.

So you'd better hope
they speak the same language.

It's a theory, but it's all
we've got to go on.

He's not my L-1, by the way.

I've just known him
since he was a child.

What's he like?

He's good...

at times.

- Here he comes.
- Get to position;

Follow my lead.

- Come on.
- Yes, sir. Let's go, guys.

You're doing the right thing.

I hope you're right.

I think he's waking up.

He's under suppression.

Open the pipe.

Coming your way.

Of course.

The fuck was that?

It was psychic feedback.

He wasn't trying to hurt you.

Bad idea bringing
one of those things

- onto the ship.
- Let's get him to the dome.

Now.

All right, moving.

It's gonna be okay.

They can handle it.

I, uh...

wanna show you something.

Come on.

Everything you see
was grown right here

on this ship.

It's beautiful.

I promised you
I'd look after Thale.

Captain Eris has agreed
to give him two hours

every week down there.

Thale's spent his entire life

locked inside that mountain.

No fresh air.

No sunshine.

Thank you, Karl.

This must be our lion tamer.

I loved your paper

on neuroplasticity in telepaths.

Wild stuff.

This is Rowan,
our xenobiologist.

- Ah.
- Nice to meet you.

You, too.

Oh, you must be thrilled.

Chance to make first contact
with alien life.

Is that what Karl told you
we're doing?

Yeah, Rowan is
a little skeptical

- of our mission.
- You don't believe

- there's anything out there.
- Actually, I do.

That's what concerns me.

Don't let Rowan rattle you.

He thrives on chaos.

Hmm.

Ah, look.

Sunset.

How romantic.

So is it true about the captain?

He never leaves
his private deck?

Captain Eris
is a very private person.

- You've met him though, right?
- Yeah.

Yeah, sure, sort of.

Oy.

Is it true...

you brought an L-1 on board?

- Yeah.
- His name's Thale,

and he's vital to the success
of this mission.

- He's an L-1, all right?
- They're murderers.

- Murphy, come on, not now.
- Don't do this.

We didn't sign up for this,
all right?

We ain't safe
with that thing on board!

He's not a thing.

He's a person.

- A kid.
- Tell that to the families

of "Luna 71."

Okay, look, you're afraid.

I get it.

You don't think I'm afraid, too?

But we need Thale.

When we get out there,
we don't know

what the volcryn are gonna do,
and Thale might be

our only way
of communicating with them.

A fucking L-1?

Look, our planet is dying.

Guessing that's... that's why
you're all on a colony ship?

Why you're all here?

Now, look, the volcryn,
they've harnessed

an energy
that is vastly superior

to anything
we can possibly imagine,

but we don't understand it.

Now, if we can make contact
with them

and they can help us
understand it,

then maybe...

maybe we can save our home;

Save our families.

But they're passing us by,
and the "Nightflyer"

is our once chance...
Our only chance...

To make contact...

Before they're out of reach.

Unless the L-1 kills us first.

Anyone not fully dedicated
to this mission

is free to disembark
before we break orbit

at 1400 hours.

Captain Eris
has just informed me

that cowards' contracts
will be honored in full.

Let's finish up...

and get to work.

Let's go, Murphy.

That's a lovely speech.

All clear. All clear.

We have clean release
for shuttle 7.

Shuttle is detached.

Repeat: Shuttle is on its way

on heading niner zero four zero.

Jump seats.

Unless you know how
to operate one of these.

Oh.

No, we don't.

Guess they allow anyone
on this bridge now.

Why is he just a projection?

Well, that's one
of life's great mysteries.

This mission...

may change the course
of human history.

Professor D'Branin and his team

are the Genesis of this pursuit

and guests on board the ship.

Welcome...

on behalf of the "Nightflyer."

This journey, however...

is much bigger than a ship.

Or Eris Corp.,

or any of us.

Never before has mankind had
the opportunity

and the means...

to make first contact.

If we...

all of us...

can achieve that first...

History will be written.

Ready to break orbit, Augustine?

Systems ready, sir.

60% thrust, please.

Okay, lady.

Here we go.

Waited for this my whole life.

Malfunction, thruster four.

Stand by.

- Is this normal?
- Getting error codes, chief.

Malfunction on thruster two.

And three.

Misfire, Captain.

They're rolling us over.

- Murphy, report?
- Multiple errors, Captain.

- Bypass it now.
- We need manual control.

Misfire on one!

I have no control!

I got this, Chief.

We're approaching
atmosphere, Captain.

She's heating up!

I got this!

Manual override engaged.

- We need to break orbit.
- I'm on it.

Stand by.

Get us loose, Auggie.

Hold on!

Now!

Who else could have messed
with the launch?

Shh.

Piece of shit.

Hey.

Careful.

You see him?

- Did you see him?
- No, no, no.

Fucker.

What's he...
What the fuck is that?

I don't know.

Stand by.

The fucker hung himself.

Huh?

He hung himself.

Boo!

Doryen?

You two are sneaky boys,
innit ya?

Now, that... that's naughty.

Oh, you, uh, come
to check up on me

after the, uh...
The bumpy start, have you?

- That's very nice.
- You fucking animal.

- Thank you very much.
- Fucking animal!

You fucking animal!

- Oy, oy, oy!
- Where you going?

Oy, come back!
I've got a candle-lit dinner

for three laid out in here!

Well, four, really.

Hold on, I know you.

You're the one
that likes to wear

their mommy's panties, innit?

I've seen it.
It was very nice.

I thought it suited you,
personally.

It was a good look for you.

- This isn't over!
- Come on, then, brother.

I'm fucking standing right here.

Come on, then, brother!
Come on, then!

So Murphy's
in stable condition in regen.

This had nothing to do
with Thale.

He can't cause
a mechanical malfunction.

I know that,
but the crew doesn't.

Well, maybe it was one
of the crew.

You know, trying to frame him.
Get him kicked off the ship.

Well, that's why you need
to talk to him

and get all the information
we can.

You best get control
of that thing.

I'll handle this.

- You sure?
- Yeah.

Thale, damn it, stop that.

Morning, Agatha.

- You look nice.
- You're being immature.

Those images are private.

They're mine.

Well, I like it when you share.

Sharing indicates
I gave you permission.

You know, I like the air here.

It's cleaner than back at home.

- When can I go in the garden?
- In time.

There was a malfunction
during the launch.

They seem to think
that it wasn't an accident;

That someone on board
might be behind it.

Did you see any flashes?

Any images?

Flashes.

Images.

I don't know.

Would you let me watch you
in the shower if I did?

This isn't a game, Thale.

A man was very badly hurt.

Yeah.

That's not why you're here,
is it?

Ah, you wanna know if it was me.

Peek-a-boo.

Jesus.

Something's different there.

Ah, you changed the dose.

Didn't you?

Trust is a two-way street.

I can't find any source
for the malfunction

- during the launch.
- That's not good enough.

We need to prove
it wasn't Thale.

- What if was?
- L-1s can't penetrate systems

- and machines.
- Found something else.

Here's our current trajectory,

and here is the volcryn ship.

- They shifted course.
- Yes.

Further into the Void.

What's the result
to our mission time?

At least five extra months,

- all of it deep in the Void.
- No, run the calculations.

I need a precise intercept.

And when you're done,
I need you to wipe the data.

What's wrong?

You seem...

off.

There's some problems on board.

Telepath.

You knew it was a risk.

Yeah, it's gonna be okay.

Agatha's got a handle on it.
It'll be fine.

Of course she does.

I've been thinking
about Skye a lot.

I really miss her.

She would be proud of you.

Just like me.

It's really hard to think of you

- in that house alone.
- I'm not alone.

I know you're up there...

Looking down on me.

Karl..

I love you.

Try and catch me.

What did you get from Thale?

Just looking at these sketches.

I don't see anything relating
to Murphy's accident.

No wonder the crew's
afraid of him.

He draws what he sees.

Those images come
from the people on this ship,

the ones calling him a monster.

- Do you know who that is?
- Yeah, my daughter.

Skye.

I think Thale
is making me see things.

Hear things on the ship.

Well, very powerful L-1s
can do that,

but not under suppression.

Okay, 'cause I'm seeing things.

Heard her voice.

What are you suggesting?

Just wondering
if you really have

your patient under control.

Captain Eris?

I know you're watching me.

Where are you?

Where I always am:

Somewhere below your feet.

Do you watch everyone?

I don't find everyone
fascinating.

We've never had a cadet from
the genetic program onboard.

A lot of people
have been enhanced, Captain.

I'm sure some of your crew
have had gene modifications.

Oh, enhancement is not
the same as engineering.

You, Melantha,
were genetically designed

for space travel from birth.

Tell me something:
What if you went through

all that training
only to end up hating

- being in space?
- I guess I'd be miserable

like the rest of them
down there.

Are most people unhappy
on Earth?

- You've never been?
- The "Nightflyer"

suits my needs just fine.

Of course it does.

Plenty of captive targets

for you to watch.

You tell me something:

Where else do you watch me?

When I'm sleeping?

Maybe...

while I'm in the shower?

I'm not looking for that.

I can see flesh any time I want.

But intimacy...

truth...

a glimpse of someone's soul.

Is that why you watch me?

Captain Eris?

You still here?

Entre.

Hey, Rowan, you got a minute?

A million of them.

Okay good, 'cause, uh,
we have a problem.

Agatha...

I'm beginning to doubt
that she has the ability

to keep Thale contained.

Hmm.

That's controversial.

What happens if we lose Thale?

Well, you know how I feel.

I'm merely one
of the hundred-million people

who think this mission

that you've concocted
isn't exactly the

wisest move

for our species.

Yeah, that's exactly why
I'm asking you

for your annoying opinion.

We've been bombarding them
for years

with radio and light waves

in every language we know,

every formula
that's ever been devised.

What have we got back?

- Nothing.
- I doubt they're having

trouble understanding us.

Most likely scenario is...

they don't want to talk.

Rowan, what's your point?

My point is that any beings

that intelligent...

would see the human race
for what we are.

We're a virus

that has killed its host

and is looking for a new host
to infect.

That is an incredibly
pessimistic view

of humankind.

Realistic.

Look at Earth

through a biological prism.

We are the disease.

If we lose Thale...

can we still communicate
with the volcryn or not?

What's the point?

They're probably going
to exterminate us.

If you think we're so doomed,

why'd you agree
to come on this mission?

Well, I've spent
my entire life wondering

what form alien life might take.

I wanna see what they look like.

Error.

Tank malfunction.

Error.

Tank malfunction.

Oxygen 40%.

Oxygen 30%.

Oxygen 15%.

Oxygen 10%.

Warning:
Oxygen level critical.

Warning:
Oxygen level critical.

Warning:
Oxygen depleted.

Warning:
Oxygen depleted.

System override.

Emergency drain sequence
initiated.

Mel!

Mel!

Mel!

The ground.

It's cold.

I like it.

Can you smell the fennel?

It's kind of a licorice smell.

They have voices.

Who?

Trees.

Plants.

Those bees over there.

You know,

Captain Eris and his crew...

they're worried.

So are you.

You can't trust the psychic kid.

He's unsafe.
He's unstable.

Same shit they said
when they took me away

- from my family.
- Thale, I know...

No, L-1s are treated like shit.

No, we could do so much more
if they'd just...

I need you to tell me
the truth about something.

Have you been putting thoughts
in Dr. D'Branin's head?

- You mean that little girl?
- That's his daughter, Thale.

- Was his daughter.
- She's dead.

And no, I didn't,

Agatha.

- Karl?
- I need Thale.

Captain Eris wants to see him.

We just wanna talk to you.

No, you don't.

They want to put me to sleep
and they wanna keep me asleep.

There was another accident.

Mel was nearly killed.

Hey, you wanna tell them
to back off?

Look, we just want
to talk to you.

That's bullshit.

Thale.

Agatha, tell him to stop.

Tell them to back down.

Thale!

Don't do this, Thale!

Thale!

You understand why
we had to do this.

Where are you?

I can't feel your thoughts.

I'm right here...

- with you.
- Thale, I can't keep you safe

if you don't tell me the truth.

That's a bit rich
coming from you,

innit, sweetheart?

You tell the good Captain
the truth about our mission?

Oh.

Go on, tell them about
the course shift.

What's he talking about?

We detected a change
in the alien ship's course.

As did my nav team two days ago.

I've already reprogrammed
the ship for the new intercept.

What does that mean?

Karl?

- Five extra months onboard.
- No.

No, I... I can't...

We're not going back
without making contact.

The "Nightflyer"
can handle the journey.

- The unknown is Thale.
- Well, listen, if I wanted

to hurt your little ship,
you'd know about it.

The only way to know for sure
is to take Thale offline

- so I can run diagnostics.
- Offline.

Suspend his brain function
completely,

or I will have him removed
from my ship.

Do it now.

If we don't do this...

the crew will kill him.

I'm so sorry.

Go on.

Hey.

How are you?

Come in.

What did you see?

I saw, uh...

something.

Do you think it was Thale?

- I don't know.
- I mean...

how could get into the system?

L-1s don't...
They don't engage with data.

I know what they say.

But he could have gotten inside
your head, too.

Yeah.

I don't know.
Maybe.

I've never felt that before.

What?

Helpless.

You saved my life.

Um...

I'm sorry.

I'm not very good at...

this.

Help me to feel something else.

- D'Branin.
- Initiate memory playback.

Daddy, look.

Come on!

Try and catch me!

Stop memory playback.

Can you find me?

I see you.

Peek-a-boo.

Stop playback.
That's not how it happened.

Daddy?

- Stop playback!
- This is not how it happened!

Daddy?

Daddy?

Daddy?

Daddy?

Daddy?

You disobeyed a direct order
and didn't medicate him!

It is not Thale.

He's using my memories
against me!

- Do you hear yourself?
- You're paranoid.

- And you're blind.
- What is it with you and these...

- This L-1 kid?
- There's the Karl I remember.

No, no, this isn't about us.

- This is about the mission.
- No, you've always had

a problem with my work.

Your work is why you're here.

Then I'm asking you to trust me.

I need you to trust me.

Thale is unconscious.

Show me.

Someone's been here.

Thale.

We checked on him
less than an hour ago.

- He was right here, out cold.
- How could he just wake up?

Well, someone would have
to turn off his medication,

- unlock the door.
- Well, I doubt any

- of Eris' crew is gonna do that.
- He's scared, Karl.

L-1s hurt people
when they feel threatened.

You should get to your quarters.

A search of the ship
is under way.

You said you've got
cameras everywhere.

- How is this possible?
- My vid feeds are dark.

- Someone breached the system.
- Well, it wasn't Thale.

He can't turn off cameras
and unlock doors.

My security team
will find him and take

- the appropriate action.
- He'll know you're coming.

If you corner him...

your crew will
walk into a bloodbath.

Please proceed
to your assigned stations.

Now we have a bit of privacy.

So, we need to find Thale
before Eris' men do.

Can you access
the ship's vid feeds?

I've never been able
to get past the firewalls.

- I need you to try harder.
- If Thale starts killing

Eris' crew, they're gonna
turn on us next.

I'm ready.

- Stand down.
- Stand down.

Easy.

Hey, Murph.

Listen, you'd better get back
to your quarters.

That L-1s somewhere
on the loose.

I need to get down
to the access panel.

Eris needs his feeds restored.

- Here.
- Take that...

Just in case.

What's going on?

Okay, we need to take her out...

No, no, no, you can't.

If you disconnect the tether
while she's still inside,

- she'll be gone.
- Gone?

Gone where?

In there.

Forever.

Okay, somebody do something.

- Lommie.
- Lommie, can you hear me?

Lommie.
Hey, hey.

Hey.

Get out.

Get...

out.

Get...

out.

Get out!

Hey.

What the fuck was that?

- Don't touch me.
- Lommie?

Hey, Lommie.

What did you see in there?
Lommie?

Lommie.

Lommie.

Lommie!

Bollocks.

You fucking little freak.

Lommie!

Lommie!

Error.

Firewall breached.

Lommie!

Hey! Hey!

Here you go.
