Previously on Ascension

- I don't know who killed her.
- Who was she afraid of?

- It's who was afraid of her.
- Sometimes, I think I know things.

Like I can still feel it,
underneath everything.

Your fiefdom is built on
your being able to convince me that you have complete control.

[Enzmann]: You think I don't
have total control?

The minute they doubt the
validity of their environment

is the minute
the experiment fails.

Ascension is a lifeboat
for humanity.

[Stokes grunting]

[Crew]:
I pledge allegiance

to the flag of
the United States of America

and to this mission
to which we're bound,

one people under God

for the hope and future
of humanity.

I heard an assistant
in maintenance

wrote that
ridiculous pledge.

The words
aren't the point.

Those children need to hear what
we heard, that they're heroes,

and that this ship is
humanity's last best hope.

Do you remember
when we were that age,

searching for our
place in the world?

I was applying for the stewards,
knock-kneed and nervous.

And you were on the
fast track to navigation.

Who would've thought we'd be
here at the top of the pyramid?

You did, if I
remember correctly.

You had a
grand design.

I still do.

We don't know
what we'll find

when we reach our new home
world in the Proxima system,

so the Terra Chamber
is used to simulate

different environments
that we might encounter.

[Chuckling]

You really know your
way around out there.

Thanks!

I'm apprenticing
with Dr. Choi.

Oh, pretty and smart!

All right!

If you'll all follow me,

we're off to
the Legacy Seed Banks.

[Cell phone ringing]

Director Warren.

Harris! You should be
receiving a file any minute now.

What is it?

A CV for a consultant
I'm sending over.

We've never had a murder
onAscension before.

You could use the help.

This is the most
important endeavour

in human history, Katherine.

I won't let it be ruined
by your watchdog!

Play nice, Harris.

You've built your
own private kingdom,

but remember
kings can be deposed.

[Computer equipment beeping]

So, what's this
test supposed to do,

rate the amount of crazy
of everyone onboard?

[Juliet]: Just say the first
thing that comes to your mind.

Ascension.

Trap.

Father.

I was only a baby when
he died in that fire.

I meant how
you feel about it.

It was an accident.

A cobalt generator malfunctioned,

and 20 people died.

The captain saved
the XO and Ophelia.

Most people think
the psych-eval was designed

to assess personality.

You know what its
true purpose is?

To determine one's
breaking point.

You're talking
about the crisis?

Realizing you've met
everyone you'll ever meet

and that you've seen
every place you'll ever go

can make anyone panic.

What's troubling you?

I don't think Stokes did it.

Aaron, part of life
on this ship

is the compact we make.

Even if you're right and
the murderer is still here,

perhaps the best thing we can do
is to go on with our lives.

And what if he kills again?

[Humming]

[Beeping]

I see you served as
a military investigator

for nearly 10 years.

Exactly how much did Katherine
tell you about the project?

She described it as
a sociological experiment.

Ascensionwas designed
to test the long-term viability

of intergenerational
space flight.

As far as the crew believes,

they're halfway through
a 100-year journey.

And one of them
is a murderer.

I'm convinced we have
the killer in custody.

Obviously, Director Warren
isn't as confident as you are.

Exactly how do you plan
on investigating a murder

when you can't visit
the crime scene,

never question a witness,
never review the evidence?

Well, I certainly wouldn't
grab the closest suspect

and hope for the best.

Other-than-
honourable discharge.

I assume it also
tells you why.

It was 2004.
You weren't asked, but you told.

Did it feel like a stain
on your honour to be silent,

that lying to your
comrades diminished you?

Are you worried
about my morality?

Not at all.

Anyone who's spent a few years

working for Katherine

must have accumulated
a number of things

they've learned not to tell.

Dr. Enzmann, think of me

as a consultant
sent down from corporate.

I'll file my report, and I'll
be out of here in a few days,

a week at most.

You'll find the project
a well-oiled machine.

Your time here will be
nothing if not uneventful.

It might even be
a little boring.

Well, I hope so.
Makes my job easier.

This is your blue badge.

You can only speak
to other blue badges.

If a person with
another colour badge

tries to interact with you,

please report it to
security immediately.

Blue badge, got it.

Every fruit, vegetable
and grain from our ancestors

is stored in
the Legacy Seed Banks,

where they'll be kept

for hybridization
and transplantation

once we reach Proxima.

It won't be exactly
the same as on Earth,

but it will be as close
as we can get.

Now, over here,

they're measuring
the pH levels.

Now, the pH levels have
to match within 18%

for the seeds to take root.

Otherwise, nothing will grow,
and we'll get to Proxima...

Admiring the view?

[Sighing]

Come on, you can't tell me
that doesn't bring you back

to your steamy night
in the landing craft.

Presley, I told
you nothing happened.

Why not? You
have your implant.

Doesn't mean
I have to use it.

My advice: Keep
your options open.

Have fun before the ship's
computer matches you

with someone for
mechanical procreation.

[Rawles]: What are you
2 ladies whispering about?

I'd hate to have
to write you up.

Um, we were
just talking about...

Seeds and fertilization.

[Laughing]

All right, kids,
let's wrap it up!

We'll let maintenance finish
cleaning out the mud traps

or whatever they're doing.

- Changing nutrient recyclers.
- Huh?

If you wanna
get technical.

Yeah, like I said,
you're scooping out the mud.

If you don't change out
the nutrient baths,

then the seeds don't gestate.

The seeds don't gestate,

then they fall back
a generation,

and eventually we starve.

But I guess leading a tour
is important too.

What's your
problem, decker?

Huh?

[Students]: Oh!

[Male student]:
That guy's crazy!

Somebody stop them! Hey!

[Groaning]

[Women screaming]

Tell me what happened!

Explosion in the Terra Lab.

[Alarm beeping]

[Whispering]: Jesus!

Pull the video. Work backwards
from the explosion.

Track everyone in and out of
that lab the last 24 hours.

[Alarm buzzing]

[Carrillo]:
They're venting the flame.

- Get down!
- Oh!

[Man 1 grunting]

[Man 2]: Give me
a hand with this.

On the count of three.

[Man 1]: Ready?

- Now!
- Now!

No future.

That's exactly
what we'd have

if the rest of the
Seed Bank was destroyed.

Get that washed up before
someone sees it, all right?

Injuries?

Cuts and scrapes,
smoke inhalation.

The crew's on edge, though.
First Lorelei, then this.

Cobalt generator.

It was modified to blow
when the circuit was tripped.

You think it was
the saboteurs?

The closer we get
to the rubicon,

the more brazen they become.

Why is it
so goddamn hot?

The cooling system
was damaged.

It's running at 20%.

The ship is only
gonna get hotter!

Did you check
with requisitions,

make sure they have
all their generators?

15 accounted for, 12 others
in use throughout the ship.

We should round them up,
find out what's missing.

Despite what you may think,
I'm actually good at my job.

Shut it down, you two.

We've gotta move quick,
get our story out there,

or we're gonna have a lot
of people asking questions.

What is our story?

[Denninger on video]:
Attention, please.

The cooling system
is undergoing repairs

because of a
methane-gas explosion.

We are extremely fortunate
that no one was injured.

Rest assured, the
hazardous-material protocols

will be strictly reviewed

and enforced from
this point forward.

Anyone who hasn't
been evaluated

please line up
against the wall.

[Both talking, indistinct]

Sure it's my turn?

There might be some
officers with headaches

that need tending to.

It's first come,
first served.

Not everything is about
where you're from.

Seems that way.
Right, Crouch?

I'll see you later.

[Inhales sharply]

Why did you get in
a fight with Bobby Rawles?

You're something else,
Nora. You know that?

Deep breaths.

Nora!

I have 3 patients
that need vitals taken.

Wait, what about my heart?

You're clear to go.

Does it live up
to your expectations?

Reading about it
is one thing,

seeing it is something
else entirely.

It's hard to imagine a world

without civil rights,
a sexual revolution.

Vietnam, 9/11, those earrings
that look like hockey pucks.

Or people like me?

Homosexuals?

They were left
out by design.

It's not a matter of
prejudice. Purely practical.

Anyone who intentionally avoids
procreation would just be...

superfluous.

Superfluous or not, I'm
guessing there's a few in there.

We tend to pop up where
you least expect us.

So, what caused
the explosion?

Methane buildup
in the leach pits.

That seems quite volatile,
600 people in a pressure cooker.

It's the first incident
we've had in 20 years.

Aside from the
murder, you mean?

Project Apollo cost over
100 billion in adjusted dollars.

The Panama Canal
took 27,000 lives.

On a project of this scale,
setbacks are to be expected.

I'll need an office,

AV setup, access
to surveillance,

crew files,

and, of course, the suspect.

[Beeping]

[Sighing]

The council's
been complaining

about the captain's
handling of the heat.

The mess hall will be
cleaning out frozen stores.

Make sure the council
gets first choice,

and deliver it personally.

Viondra!

You missed our lunch
appointment today.

That'll be all
for now, Jackie.

She wasn't to your liking?

Oh, I've grown accustomed
to a much finer vintage.

Maybe too accustomed.

I've been thinking that
it's time that we take a break

from our weekly meetings.

Oh no! That would
truly sadden me.

I mean, I know the political
winds have shifted,

and your husband has regained
some measure of popularity

after bringing justice
to Lorelei's murderer.

And, as they say,

to the victor
goes the spoils.

I'm not a
prize to be won.

I know, Viondra,

but the captain's
statement today

about the explosion being
a methane-gas buildup,

well, that's just gonna
buy him a little more time.

Councilman, I don't know who
is spreading these rumours,

but it was nothing more than
an unfortunate accident.

Really? An accident?

Since when do accidents
leave messages on walls, hmm?

So, I suspect it won't be very
long until we're lunching again.

Wait for it.
Yeah, this is the best part.

Bam! Man, that's gotta hurt!

[Chuckling]

[Krueger]:
Excuse me!

Ms. Krueger!

How's that video system I
set up for you? Is it all right?

It's fine! The elevator won't
take me to the infirmary.

You need a red badge
to get to lower levels.

Then get me a red badge.
I need to question the suspect.

I'd also like to see the video
of the methane explosion.

I thought you were here to
investigate the murder.

What makes you think
they're not related?

He suffered a complete
psychotic break.

He put an orderly in traction
his first day of consciousness.

Will he understand me?

He should be able to.

We're weaning him off
his meds so he can eat.

[Lock buzzing]

Mr. Stokes?

Mr. Stokes, do you
know where you are?

[Muttering indistinctly]

I'm in hell!

[Stokes roaring]

I'm in hell!

I'm in hell!

[Gasping]

Goddammit! I'm gonna
kill every one of you!

I'm gonna kill you!

[Stokes screaming]

[♪ Woman singing bossa nova
in Portuguese ♪]

Looks inviting, doesn't it?

Right now, there's almost
nothing I'd like more.

The heat suits you.

Aaron, I'm sorry.

I'm with Duke now.
I'm trying to make things work.

Are you happy?

I am. Yes.

You're a bad liar.

The heat is getting
to people, William.

Fights are breaking out,
public drunkenness.

Two of my girls had to
fend off unwanted advances.

Right now, I have
bigger concerns.

There are no bigger concerns
than your constituency.

Rose knows it was a bomb.

He's gotten to someone
in your inner circle.

Who do you think it is?

Could be an officer.

Gault pushed back
during the investigation.

He's stubborn,
I'll give you that,

but he's no traitor.

Loyalties shift.

He's a heartbeat from
the captain's chair.

Better him than
anyone else.

We need a distraction
for the crew.

What do you suggest?

It's the first day
of Ostara tomorrow.

I say we open the stores,
bring out the good booze.

We have 2 weeks until
the birth-list selection.

Why don't we push
the boundaries a bit,

give them a night
where we look away?

And Rose?
Can you uncover his spy?

He's made it quite clear
what he wants.

I'll leave the
negotiations to you.

Krueger! Got the footage
you asked for.

Does this include
the radiation storm?

No, this is the
methane explosion.

The radiation storm is in
the drive I already gave you.

Go to the drop-down
folder in the--

It's not all there.

Feeds from at least 5 of
the cameras are missing.

Really?
I'll look into it.

- Better get back, so here you go.
- One second.

Aaron Gault.

Mmm-hmm?

He found the gun, right?

Yeah, the XO.
He's a real climber.

Totally got a thing
going on with a married woman.

Best reality-TV show never made!

Don't they have any privacy?

Uh, pretty much... no.

So, how do you manage
to miss a murder?

Well, there are blind spots.
The killer got lucky.

Or he knew
where they were.

I got repair crews
using cobalt generators

on Decks 15, 21, the commons.

Have any been
reported missing?

They're checked in
when they're serviced.

Dwight handles it.

Dwight?

XO! What can
I do for you?

I need to see the requisition
log for your cobalt generators.

Yes, sir.

They're all accounted for.

This hasn't been
updated in weeks.

[♪ Hip hop on stereo ]

You know,
I enjoy your company,

though I can't say much
about your choice of venues.

The tacos are to die for.

I'll take your
word for it.

Your loss.

There's been a development,
an explosion on the ship.

Enzmann's lying
through his teeth.

He says it was
an accident.

But I can tell
from the limited access

that I've had to
the footage,

it was a
directional blast.

A bomb.- I think so.

They're doing everything
they can to keep me in the dark.

He's feeding me the
same B.S. that you did

about this being
a sociological experiment.

You don't buy it?

Billions of dollars

to prove that 600 people in
a tin can won't get along?

I could've told
you that for free.

What's its real purpose?

Do you know the history
of complex polymers?

Norplant, MRIs? Any idea
where they originated?

You're saying that they
all came from Ascension?

Put your brightest in
a tin can for 50 years

with no outside interference,

and they'll
change the world.

I'm not just there to
investigate a murder, am I?

This is the first
opportunity we've had

since his father's stroke

to get someone
on the inside.

He's hiding something,

and the TC Group wants
to know what that is.

Hiding something? What?

Something to do
with the crew.

He's less hands off
than he implies.

Experiments?

I look forward
to your report.

And if you figure out who
killed the girl, let me know.

I'm curious.

We searched the ship
from bow to stern.

There's no sign
of Dwight Crouch.

Why would he do it?

He's a lower-decker.

Well, that's not all.

He's an unclaimed.

How, with the implants?

Well, sometimes the implants
are damaged or removed.

No family or status,
no right of reproduction,

already an outcast.

God only knows what's
going on in that kid's mind.

What about the
other generators?

There's still one
unaccounted for.

He's making another bomb.

[Humming]

[♪ '60s pop ]

Whoa!

Things might get out
of hand later tonight.

Should I have the safety
officers standing by?

No. Tonight,
anything goes.

[Young woman]:
Get me a soda?

Councilman Rose,
can I offer you something cool?

Well, thank you, Viondra!

You look lovely.

But it's gonna
take a lot more

than this distraction
to appease the crew

once they find out what your
husband's been hiding from them.

Careful, Councilman!
We're all on the same side.

What would you gain
by causing a panic?

Perhaps a change of
direction, new leadership,

someone with vision.

Someone like yourself.

That would be in the
hands of the council,

but I do appreciate
your vote of confidence.

You know, I have the last of
the ice in the officer's lounge.

If you care to join me,

I can offer you something a
little bit more refreshing.

Viondra, I think
you've forgotten.

You've taken a break
from our weekly lunches.

Mrs. Denninger?

Yes!

Presley Delon.

I applied for an
apprenticeship with you.

It's a very
competitive program.

Oh, of course!

It's an honour just
to be considered.

Still think this is not
enough of a distraction?

I'm gonna get
that apprenticeship.

Did it suddenly get
even hotter in here?

Hey!

I, uh, better go get Nora
something to cool down.

[Whispering]: Options!

Your mom give you
the rest of the day off?

I don't work in
the medical clinic anymore.

I was helping out until
she finds a new apprentice.

She doesn't
like me, does she?

Maybe she doesn't
like me hanging around

with boys who
get into fights.

Or maybe it's
because I'm a decker.

Don't say that.

- Ascensionis a meritocracy.
- Come on, Nora.

It's no coincidence

that people end up following
in their parents' footsteps.

Those are the rules
everybody knows.

And you don't
like rules.

Would you rather
I behaved myself?

Race you to the water.

[Whirring]

[Beeping]

You've gotta be kidding me!

You have anger issues.

No, I have
frustration issues.

I know when I'm
getting the runaround.

I haven't received the
footage I've asked for,

half the floors
are off-limits,

and I can only
speak to someone

who has the same
colour badge as me.

It wasn't a
methane buildup.

Yeah, I know.

It was a bomb.

If it had been a
methane explosion,

it would've been uniform
and omnidirectional.

You lied to me, but that's
what you do, right?

This whole project is one
big lie told to 600 people.

I wanna show
you something.

[♪ '60s pop ]

Lorelei thought it was
all a mistake, didn't she?

What?

All of it.

The ship, the mission.

Is that what "no future" means?

Where did you hear that?

After the explosion,
I saw it written on the wall.

It's something we say
on the lower decks.

Whenever someone asks you
why you're drinking or fighting

or doing anything
against the rules,

you say "no future,"

as in: "Why bother?
Nothing matters anyway."

Do you believe that?

I never said I didn't wanna
believe in a future.

I just don't know if I can.

When my father
started Ascension,

he'd bring me to work,

and I'd sit on his knee
and watch their faces.

Are you familiar
with her yet?

Juliet Bryce,
the ship's doctor.

I grew up
watching her.

I sometimes feel like I know her
better than my own wife.

Same for the others.

This isn't some
Petrie dish

being examined
under a microscope.

This is family.

There's a man in
the basement of this building

who lost his mind

when he found
out the truth.

I'm attempting to protect
the others from the same fate.

These people are heroes.

The fact that these people
have no say doesn't bother you?

Does it bother a
tribe in the Amazon

they've been denied sub-prime
loans or reality television?

The crew of Ascensionis pure!

They went 50 years
without a single homicide.

Name another civilization
that can say that.

Regardless of what you think
of all of this,

remember that at its heart,
there's also her,

and ask yourself:

Had you been born
on that ship,

would you want
to know the truth?

[Door opening]

Emily wanted me to drop
this off. They were Lorelei's.

I didn't hear you
come in last night.

I slept on the beach.
Everybody did.

Is that a new necklace?

Still haven't
found the seahorse?

I looked everywhere.

You'd think it
wouldn't be possible

to lose something on a ship
surrounded by space,

but apparently
I can manage it.

You like it?- Nice.

It's just funny to
see you in something else,

like seeing Lorelei's clothes
given to other people.

Lorelei put a lot of
work into those clothes.

It would be a shame to see them
pulled apart and recycled.

We had fun that night
she first wore this.

Would it be
wasteful to keep it,

not to wear,
but to remember?

I think that'd
be fine, honey.

I saw you with James Toback.
Do you like him?

Why are you interested in
my love life all of a sudden?

It's not all of
a sudden, Nora.

You've just never
had one before.

He's a friend.

I just don't
want you falling

for someone you can't
be matched with.

You want me to end up
like you and Dad, pretending everything's OK,

when you're barely more
than roommates?

Nora.

I'm not blind.

- Marriage is complicated.
- Exactly.

If I don't get to choose
who I'm matched with,

then I better have fun now.

[Knocking]

Come on in!

[Door opening]

Gault! What can
I do for you?

I checked the requisition logs
in the library just to be sure.

The fire on Deck 23 was also
caused by a cobalt generator.

Well, that was
20 years ago.

Crouch would've
been just a kid.

What if he isn't
working alone?

What if the saboteurs
have been around

longer than
we've suspected?

What if Lorelei made
the same connection?

- It might be why she died.
- Well, Stokes killed Lorelei.

- Stokes tried to shoot me.
- Are you surprised? He was a killer.

He didn't even know
how to use the gun.

He panicked!

Or he was telling the truth,
and we had the wrong man.

Aaron, you're
a man of character.

That's why
I made you XO.

That's why I put you in
charge of this investigation,

because I knew you wouldn't
stop even when I asked you to.

Character doesn't just
mean going your own way.

A man of judgement knows
those occasional times

when loyalty is
more important.

Yes, sir.

Focus on the task at hand.

Find Crouch.

Sir?

You said that that my aptitude
scores were good enough

to get any apprenticeship
that I wanted.

This isn't a
good time, Toback!

I wanna join OTS.

The Officers' Training School
frowns on fighting and drinking.

With your behavioural record...

Look, a recommendation
from the XO can go a long way,

particularly, if the
candidate showed initiative.

It's the video card Lorelei
took the night of the fire,

the one you've
been looking for.

I'll take your request
into consideration.

You're looking for
Dwight, aren't you?

I have a good idea
where you can find him.

You should check
on Deck 23.

[Knocking]

What is it?

We've got a Deck 23 situation.

Reroute the turbines
to the air recyclers.

- We need a vacuum seal now!
- Yes, sir!

Where's my feed?
I need eyes in there!

Rerouting to the handheld.

Speed up the cooling system.
I need a 40° temperature drop!

- Is it the bomber?
- It's Gault.

[Krueger]: Does he really
need to wear that?

He'd be dead if he didn't.

I sucked all the air
out of there.

Button it down, people.

No unnecessary conversation
or movement.

Deck 23 was
damaged years ago.

The other side
isn't airtight anymore.

Theoretically,

a noise loud enough can
be heard on the inside.

[Grunting]

[♪ Band playing jazz ]

[♪ Jazz ]

[♪ Man singing in distance ]

[Krueger]:
What's he doing?

Gault's parents were killed
in the explosion on Launch Day.

He never got over it.

Look at that.

[Loud bang]

Huh?

[Banging]

[Banging echoing]

[♪ Band playing

Aaron, what
are you doing?

[Breathing unevenly]

[Machine humming in distance]

[Groaning]

[Beeping]

Dwight, calm down!

All right?
Just turn it off!

You killed my father!

Stokes was your father?

- You killed him.
- It was an accident!

I almost went out
the airlock too!

"Never trust an upper-decker."
That's what he used to say.

He said, on Earth,
there was no lower deck.

- Everyone was born the same.
- That's not true.

My father didn't lie!

[Humming]

[Enzmann]:
That bomb goes off,

it'll send a wave
of shrapnel into us!

Evacuate to the
secure room immediately.

What do you mean,
evacuate? Gault?

You're gonna let him die?

The choice is between
saving a man

and the entire project.

That's no choice at all.

You're welcome to stay
in the blast zone,

but when this door closes,
your blue badge will be useless.

Dwight, please! Turn it off!
You'll kill everyone!

He told me about you!

You cheated,
and you took his job,

and that's why
he couldn't claim me!

[Both grunting]

[Air hissing and Dwight gasping]

Dwight, your
oxygen's detached!

Let me help you!

[Both grunting]

Make sure Ms. Krueger
gets the raw footage.

I'd hate for her report
to be incomplete.

So that's it?

A man suffocates

in a room that you sucked

home for dinner,

Leave the necklace on.

Next time onAscension.

Whoever brought

I wanna know who it was.

- Captain?
- She's a distraction.

I can endure anything
but secrets between us.

Viondra! You're
looking rather tense.

I wanna meet.

Education Initiative as cover

to abduct children.

- Tell me about the man.
- I've seen him before.

- Where?
- In the tunnels with Lorelei.

Open!
