Previously on "Nightflyers"...

I imagined that Roy Eris
carried me out.

You came to me.
Let's get you out of here.

Dr. Salzman has been
encouraging me to go deeper.

Anything that could possibly
remind me of her.

Those are memories ofof us.

This is how the therapy works.

- What the hell was that?
- My mother.

Your mother's dead.

Not before she uploaded
her consciousness.

- Uploaded it where?
- Into the "Nightflyer."

She's the one who's been
trying to kill you.

We need to send a probe.
Might be the closest

we ever get to the Volcryn.

It's beautiful.

It will be even more beautiful

if it sends us pictures
back of the Volcryn.

Wanna say any last words?

Safe travels, little robot.

So is this how you avoid me?

I like this dome.

All this life...

I didn't know what to say.

Did Karl tell you?

I need to hear it from you.

My mother...

she's alive.

Alive?

How?

When her body was dying,
she made...

contingencies.

She built this ship to be
her home forever.

You're saying she's been
using the ship to hurt us?

No, she is the ship.

All of this...

The metal hull,
the Crystal Matrix,

the "Nightflyer"...

Is her body now.

That's why I'm hiding up here.

To get away from her voice.

You can hear your mother?

Words...

feelings in my head,

all the time.

You take me away from that.

Get it out of me.

Daddy?

That thing. Cancer inside.

Cut it out.

Justjust leave me alone.

- Go away.
- Get it out.

You brought it here.
Brought what here?

Please, Daddy.

It's hurting me.

Get it out. It'sit's hurting me.

Just walk through it.

Sheshe's taunting me.

Eris' mother?

You know it's
an errant computer program?

Yes, I-I know.

Well...

so don't leave yourself
so vulnerable.

What exactly is it
you want me to do?

When you torture yourself, Karl,

it makes it easy for
other people to do the same.

Rowan, why is the fuck...

Good evening.

Why is the fucking probe
in my room?

You tell me.

No, don't touch it.

Don't.

No. Of course not.

Rowan, this should be
a million miles away from us.

How did you get it in here?

I didn't.

Then who did?

What? Roy!

Roy. Roy. Roy. Roy.
She's screaming at me.

Roy, run! Get out!

I've never heard her like this.

Hey!

Somebody!

Open this thing!

Thought you said
no more needles.

Careful.

You're transmitting.
I'm not suppressing you.

I'm just checking your levels
of TEK hormones.

Hey!

You're thinking
about D'Branin again.

That's none of your business.

No, no, no.

Thale. Thale.

Okay, bring your levels down.

I can't breathe.

What are you sensing?

It's dark.
I can't feel my fingers.

It's fucking cold.

Okay, just try to breathe.

I can't.

Shh.

This is our first point
of alien contact.

Well, that's...
That's a bit of a leap, Karl.

Yeah?

How do you explain

how it just magically appeared
in my room?

I-I don'tl don't know.

I-I can't.

Rowan, I built this probe,

and they sent it back to me.

Surely Eris is involved.

I told you they could do
incredible things.

We knew they could do
incredible things.

Please stop there.
Let's take a step back

and we'll run some tests.

Yes, I'll get Lommie to port in.

No, no, no.
You can't send her in there.

Rowan, I need you to get
radiation monitors,

spectrometers,
cameras everywhere.

Record everything.

Everything.

Don't forget the duct tape.

Keep your head from exploding.

Sir, we're getting
error codesa lot of them.

Warning. System...

Isolate the
malfunctioning systems.

Cut them off from
the rest of the ship.

Dr. Matheson,
we're quite busy right now.

There's been an accident.

One of your crew members.

Thale, he...

felt something.

Where did it happen?

I can't be sure unless
we take him out of the dome.

I'll gather a security detail.

No.

Better just you and me.

It'd help a lot for Thale
to feel you trust him.

Last night,
you very specifically

told me to run
the wave patterns,

so that's what I've been doing.

Yeah.

That was before.

Before what?

We can't let this get out,
not yet.

Think of the crew
if they found out.

Or Eris.

I don't understand.
Howhow did it get...

back on the ship?

We don't know.

Makes nice Beach Boys
music, though.

Listen.

Did it reach the Volcryn?

We don't know.

What's this...
This crust on the outside?

That's isotopes
of iridium and palladium.

It's all over the hull.

It's kind of like a...

Like space rust, if you will.

You touched it?

No.

Had to get a small sample.

Rowan, you got to be careful.

We don't know what this shit is.

There is so much data in there.

We're finally
gonna get some answers.

What kind of answers?

Well, how it got back here...

for a start.

How far down?

I'll let you know.

We just went past it. Go back.

Cargo.

Thale experiences everything...

Mentally, emotionally...

physically.

Incredible.

And not pleasant.

He describes it
as a suffocating dread.

It's one of those.

These bins are locked.

It's not possible
to close them from inside.

Maybe someone did it
from outside.

You're suggesting
this wasn't an accident.

We died together.

Can you do something
about the room?

It's too hot.

Sure.

Okay, well,
is itis it not working?

There's nothing wrong
with the controls.

Whatwhat do you mean?
Then why are we not...

What are you saying?

We think it's intentional.

What do you mean intentional?

Eris' mother.

She's, inside the ship.

We think she's the one
turning up the heat.

So that's what I felt.

That's what I felt
when I ported into the system.

- It was her.
- Yeah.

Yeah, that's...
That's what we're thinking.

Or more likely a simulation

based on
her psychological protocols.

No, it's not a simulation.

She's in there, and she's real.

Come on.

Let's get you to bed.

Ain't easy, you know...

Dying over and over again.

I'll get you some suppressives.

I ain't going back on that shit.

Do you remember when
you were a little boy?

Used to have your episodes.

I was the only one
you'd let get close to you.

Yeah, well, I'm not
a little kid anymore, am I?

You don't give a shit.
You're thinking about him.

That's not fair.

Karl and I used to be close.

I've known him for a long time.

I think about you all the time.

Shouldn't lie.
It doesn't suit you.

All right.

You should get some rest.

I'll bring you your dinner
in an hour or so.

- Is she still screaming?
- No.

Now she's lashing out.

And there's no way to predict
who she'll hurt.

The guy in the cargo bin,
you're sure that was her?

Commander.

The system controlling the bins

was interrupted last night.

We didn't get a warning.

It reset itself.

The probe can't take
this heat any longer.

Commander Eris requests entry.

I wouldn't do that.

Karl, open up.

I'm going to override the door.

- Roy, run!
- My God.

His mother.

That thing.

You are not the captain!

That's what she's
screaming about.

- Roy, run!
- She wants it off her ship.

Hey.

Thanks for meeting me.

I'm only in town for a few days.

- A conference.
- Right.

You look good, Karl.

I miss you.

We never really got
a chance to talk.

No.

You left too abruptly for that.

I know. I'm sorry.

I just didn't know what to say.

You can't just...

show up out of the blue after

two years without contact
and then...

Well, I wanted to see you...

to talk about what happened.

Okay, so let's talk.

Well, it's complicated. Um...

Okay, so I'll talk.

So after you bailed on me, I...

met someone else.

Her name is Joy, and...

we're getting married
this summer.

Wow.

That'sthat's really great, Karl.

Guess I'm getting older,
'cause, um...

sold my motorcycle,
bought a house in Ross,

and we're talking
about having kids.

I'm really happy for you.

Can you imagine...

me being a father?

You'll be a great father.

That means a lot, Aggie.

Yes, sir, what can I do?

Send a welding team
to Karl D'Branin's quarters.

There's some equipment here
we need to remove.

No, no, no, no, no!
I'm not gonna let you do this.

I'm not asking your permission.

No, this is my probe!
It's too important!

I'm trying to save your life.

My mother can feel this thing
inside of her

like a cancer.

I don't know if it's something
the Volcryn did,

but she wants it out.

You feel sorry for her.

Roy, you have
to stand up to her.

This is your chance.

We'll do whatever it takes
to help you.

It's not that simple, Melantha.

No, wait, Roy.
It is that simple.

I know how important
this mission is to you.

And I know you are not
gonna destroy

the only alien artifact
that anybody

has ever come in contact with

because you're afraid of
pissing off your mother.

What she's doing
with your cabin, the heat...

She'll do this
to the entire ship or worse.

Just give me the time to get
the data I need off my probe.

Please.

Please.

One cycle.

I can hold her off
for one cycle,

but I'm cutting up that probe

and sending it out the air lock.

- That's all I need.
- Do you understand me?

Yes.

Well, he took that well.

Maybe, you should take
a minute to clear your head.

Don't want to be making
any mistakes,

given we're now being rushed.

Okay.

Can't sleep?

No, I'm worried about Thale.

He experienced
the dockworker's death,

and he's taking it pretty badly.

I'm justl don't want him
to start slipping.

Sorry.

I know how you feel
about telepaths.

What do you mean?

I work with L-1s.

I know that's what
drove us apart.

When I took the job
at Sutherland,

I knew how you felt.

No, no, Agatha, I was scared.

I wasn't the only one.

We've all seen what Ls can do
on those vids.

Telepaths are misunderstood.

I took the job
to help people to understand

that there's a place
for everyone in this world.

Agatha, that's all
very honorable,

and obviously
I'm all for the idea

of using Ls for their abilities,

but I don't want to have
my thoughts invaded...

Wait, you think they want
to see inside your head?

It's a curse.

Okay, malicious or not,
it's still an invasion, though.

I mean, okay,
they can't control it, but...

What?

I just remembered
how you can be when...

Yeah?

You really need to see this.

Hi.

Now.
- ...Yeah.

You may wish to remove
a layer or two of clothing.

Cynthia Eris is doing this.

She thinks the heat
will damage the probe.

Won't this heat
warp the circuits?

No, it should be fine.

It was designed for deep space.

Have a look at this.

That's blood.

Where's it coming from?

That's a good question.
Follow me.

I was removing...

the internal drive tray.

And, what,
it just started bleeding?

Which makes perfect sense...

because...

it's alive.

Okay, Mother,
it's going to be okay.

Please, justjust try
and get some rest.

No. Stop it.

Mother, stop it.

Stop it!

Was that her?

I used to hear her clearly.

Now there are so many voices
fighting...

Fighting for attention...

terrified.

- How do you know it's her?
- What do you mean?

- Maybe those...
- I'm, not crazy, Mel.

But they could just be
echoes of your mother,

not the person that she was
when she was alive.

Cynthia Eris is a memory
to the world.

But up here
on the "Nightflyer"...

She never went away.

My whole life, I've heard her...

Her voice,

her criticisms,

every judgmentcoming from
inside of these walls, and...

She wants you to get rid of me.

I'm sorry, Roy,
but maybe it's not the probe

that you need to try
to get rid of.

Maybe you...

What?

She told me you'd say that.

Die.

Fuck.

Central components intact.

Can it sustain this heat?

For the time being.

But clearly it's not
enjoying it very much.

All this organic material,

what if...

I mean,

could this actually be Volcryn?

Or is it some sort of message?

Certainly enjoying this.

Of course, aren't you? I mean,

you came all the way
out here to find

some form of alien life.
Look what came back.

Certainly is quite incredible.

Okay, so we know

that they can move
through the walls,

which means that they can...

Say it out loud.

The Volcryn may have the ability

to control space-time.

Right, theythey sent this here

for a reason to us.

Well, we don't know that.

Wewe can send Lommie,
and, Lommie,

you could go in and extract
all the information.

Too dangerous.
We don't know what will happen.

No, it's fine. I want to do it.

Who knows how long
it'll survive?

Her system isn't designed
to go into things like that.

Rowan, then we fucking
lose everything.

The heat is gonna destroy
all of the data.

She has to go inside.

- Suppose it is conceivable.
- Yeah.

But they're using
organic material

rather than... words or sounds.

Perhaps this tissue
is their language.

You see?
See what you did just there?

What?

You admitted that this could
be the Volcryn, that it is...

No, that's...
That's not what I did at all.

Actually, it is.

I said conceivable.

What's that?

That is the analysis
of the probe blood sample.

What the hell?

That's not possible.

The blood coming out
of the probe,

it's you.

Apparently the Volcryn
know who you are.

No. No.

That... doesn't make...

Does thatdoes that mean
that this is me?

All right, I'm in charge.

We follow my lead, my orders
from here on out.

No. No fucking way.

- Yes fucking way.
- No, no, no.

This is my probe. I-I built it.

I sent it out there.

Technically, Karl,
I sent it out.

So I'm sorry,
but you can no longer study

the phenomenon

because you are the phenomenon.

There's too many at once.

Off of my ship. This is my ship.

- Roy!
- No.

This is my ship.

No, no, no, no.

That's not true.

You don't get to decide.

I get to decide!

This is my ship.

I'm in control.

Mother?

End this mission.

Mother.

End this mission.

Mother!

Get it outnow.

Now.

Now.

No.

No, no. No.

Karl.

You see that, right?

I see how you think of me.

- I see how you think of me.
- How you hate who I am.

- How you hate who I am.
- Hate you?

No, I-I don't hate you.
What are you talking about?

You would
if I told you how I knew.

Okay, Aggie, stop.
You'reyou're scaring me.

- Don't be scared.
- Don't be scared.

- It's so beautiful.
- It's so beautiful.

? La-la-la-la

Look.

What we could've had.

? Go to sleep

I found out after I left you.

? Close your eyes

We could've had
a child together.

- ? Drift into dreams.
- You and me.

- ? The sun will soon rise.
- This child.

- ? I'll be right here.
- But I knew how you felt...

? Till you close your eyes

That there was no future for us.

- Kill.
- I was in a new city...

- Kill.
- Alone...

- Kill.
- Surrounded by strangers...

- No.
- Kill.

- No hope.
- Agatha, stop.

- Kill.
- Stop.

- So...
- Kill.

- I cut it out.
- Death.

- No!
- ? Listen, my dear

? To my lullaby

Joy, hey, it's me.

We are so far into the Void,
I have no idea

when this message is actually
gonna reach you, so...

I've been...

thinking about your therapy,

and I know that you know
that I wasn't exactly

in love with the idea.

And I don't want to forget
about Skye.

I don't think I can.

And I'm not going to.

But I know
that I remind you of her.

And...

I want you to know that...

If you want to start releasing
your memories of me...

That I understand.

So...

Go ahead.

Release me and start over.

'Cause I want you to be happy.

Okay.

Lommie, did you do that?

Shit.

Hey.

No, no!

Don't cut the link,
not while she's under.

It's dying.

No!

Shit!

It's in irreversible descent.

Full system collapse.

Shit.

Come on, we need more samples!

We need everything we can get!

What is it, Karl?

Something Cynthia Eris
showed me,

taunted me with.

- Was it Skye again?
- Yeah, and it was you.

The memory I accessed.

She was able to see it.

- Damn it.
- Was it true?

Were youwere you actually...

I found out
when I was going through

medical clearance
for Sutherland.

Why didn't you, um...

Why didn't you just call me?

- I-I knew it wouldn't work.
- How?

How could you know?

Tell me how you knew.

It was too dangerous
to keep going in there

with a life inside me.

I had to make a choice.

I tried to put it out
of my mind for a while, but...

that's the thing
about working with Ls.

You can't...

bring your baggage
into the room.

So I took some time.

And I tried to find you

to tell you what happened.

There was no conference.

And when I saw
how happy you were...

When you told me about Joy,

I justl couldn't.

Jesus.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

We can't let Cynthia Eris
tear us all apart.

Anything salvaged
from the probe?

What do you care?

I put everything on the line
for this mission.

And if there's some way
for us to learn

about them...

Maybe she saved us.

She's not going to stop
at the probe.

You must know that.

Hey.

How you feeling?

You got out of there
just in time.

How are you?

Yeah.

So...

what did you see when
you were inside that thing?

- Everything was jumbled.
- The data?

Chaos.

But beautiful.

Organized in a way
I've never seen.

Okay. So...

I mean, there must have been
something, then, right?

A message from the Volcryn or...

You're so used
to looking for details

that you can't see
what's right in front of you.

The probe...
The probe was the message.

You sent them something
you made,

a piece of you.

And then they sent it back

but with more of you in it.

That's a response.

Right, we have to keep
studying the pieces...

Karl, there's one more thing.

The timestamp on the sensors,

it was from a month ago.

But the sensors
recorded far more

than a month's worth of data.

Theymore than they could store,

just data over previous data,

layer over layer.

How much?

According to the drives
on that probe...

it's been out there
for over a thousand years.
