Original subtitles

Previously on "The Ark..."

Lieutenant Brice was the pilot

on a covert mission to intercept the attack on the lunar base.

He intentionally threw the mission in service of the Eastern Federation.

- You had the chance to save my father. - Im so sorry.

- This is my brother. - Hes with the Eastern Federation.

- Shes the one whos Eastern Federation! - Bojan.

Bojan!

Her organs might be failing,

but her implants have not been on for that long.

Its Eastern Federation.

- What do we know so far? - The EF 2,

one of two Eastern Federation ships to get off Earth

before Ark 3, according to its database.

Well, theyre packing some heavy artillery, and its all trained on us.

- So not a social visit then? - Get us out of here, Brice.

The FTL is fully charged, but Im gonna need a while to chart a course.

Theres no time for that. We dont know their intention.

Well, in that case, everybody cross your fingers and toes.

Now!

What the hell is that Scotsman doing to my ship?

Even a junior cadet knows that activating FTL without a course set

could land us in the middle of God knows what.

Yeah, not that I owe you an explanation, Your Majesty,

but its not like I had much a bloody choice seeing as we were trying

to escape death and everything.

So I typed in a set of random coordinates, okay?

Which can only help us. Theres no way that ship can then find us again.

Which begs the question, in all the vastness of space,

how the hell did they find us in the first place

and what could they possibly want?

Well, I hate to say it,

but Eva is an EF operative.

- Oh, here we go. - I think we both know

- its a little more complicated than that. - Occams razor.

The most likely explanation is that she made contact.

Well, how would she be able to? Shes been locked in her cabin.

Well, she could have done it before we locked her up.

Hang on, hang on. Thats a pretty serious accusation.

So how bout we dont go jumping to conclusions

before weve actually bothered speaking to her?

Oh, because shes been so forthcoming with us this whole time?

Look, mate, I know Eva, right?

- A lot better than you. - Oh, for Gods sake, Brice.

Move your brains from your crotch to your skull. Shes one of them.

Spence, I know youre going through a lot, so Ill let that one slide.

Otherwise you would be out cold on the floor right now.

Stop it. Both of you.

Strickland, please bring Eva to the ready room.

On my way.

Hows she doing?

Theres been no improvement.

With these vitals, she could die.

- Why havent the nanites helped yet? - Im not sure.

Shes always healed faster than this.

She shouldve stabilized by now.

Eva, you admitted you were a member of the Eastern Federation.

Nows your chance to explain yourself.

Okay. Not much to it.

When I was trying to get off Earth,

it seemed like the EF would never even finish building their ships,

so Harris and I changed our identities,

posed as GSA, and got onto Ark 1 so we could escape Earth.

- Right. Not such a crime now, is it? - Sorry, which part?

Fraud or sneaking onto a government vessel?

Eva, the Eastern Federation showed up with weapons pointed at us.

- They did? - Yeah, we lost them by jumping to FTL.

- I need to know. Did you contact them? - No.

- Then how did they find us? - I dont know.

- I am loyal to this ship. - Why should we believe you?

How do we know youre not loyal to the Eastern Federation?

Lieutenant Lane, after all Ive done for this ship

and this crew, how can you question my loyalty?

Because you already admitted that you were loyal to those monsters.

I was at one time, but youre wrong about them.

- They arent monsters. - Really?

And how many GSA people need to die before

we can categorize them as monsters in your eyes?

They have a good reason to hate the GSA.

I did before I got on this ship.

I still hate some of the command structure we left behind.

What kind of leaders send a young recruit

on a suicide mission without even telling them?

And do you even know what they were doing on that lunar research colony?

Not really. It was a top secret mission.

The GSA was developing a biological weapon

that wouldve wiped out most of the worlds population.

- Wait, what? - How dare you? My father was a hero.

Felix, get her out of here. We dont have to listen to this.

Hang on, hang on. I want to hear her out.

We need to focus on the current problem.

Eva, if you didnt contact them,

do you have any idea how they found us

- or what they want? - No.

Can you at least tell us what kind of weapons they have onboard?

- Their vulnerabilities? - I dont know anything about the EF ships.

- They launched after we did. - Really?

- Didnt you use three of them to kill my father? - I wasnt there.

But the fighters who were used small converted shuttles.

Captain, theyre preparing to drop out of FTL.

Strickland, return her to her quarters.

Well continue this conversation later.

- Well, where are we? - About five light-years off course

in the middle of nowhere. Ill assess a new trajectory

for Trappist and get us back on track,

but the FTL is gonna take some time to recharge.

Sounds good.

Oh, God.

How the hell did they find us again?

Even we didnt know where we were going.

What the hell?

Sensors just detected an energy spike in Engineering.

Engineering, damage report?

- Engineering? - Weve just been hit

with a doozy of an EM pulse

targeting our FTL and the NEPS.

- Weve got no engines. - Were sitting ducks.

Why arent they shooting at us? What are they waiting for?

Theyre probably just relishing the moment.

Theyre attempting to hail us on comms.

Ark 1, this is Captain Zed Avega of the EF 2.

Surrender our soldier to us at once.

Im Captain Sharon Garnet of Ark 1. Why do you want Eva?

Eva? No, I want Bojan Vukovic.

Hand him over along with the shuttle he stole from us.

Of course. They were tracking their shuttle this whole time.

I would gladly surrender Bojan,

but Im sorry to tell you this,

he died.

We rescued him from Ark 3, but he took his own life.

- I dont believe you. - Im telling the truth.

Well gladly return your shuttle, but Bojans not here.

I assume by Eva you mean

Bojans sister Eva Vukovic.

Return her on my shuttle.

If she verifies what you say about Bojans death, well be on our way.

You have a lot of weapons hanging off your ship.

How do we know you wont open fire on us either way?

Despite what youve been led to believe, Captain,

were not cold-blooded killers like the GSA.

And unlike the GSA, I have no desire

to push the human race closer to extinction.

Previous Eastern Federation actions belie that, Captain.

Im not going to explain EF actions to a GSA officer.

So let me make myself perfectly clear.

If you do not return Eva and my shuttle,

I will have no choice but to destroy your ship.

You have 20 minutes.

Sharon, youre not seriously considering

sending her over there, right?

She should decide. This is her life.

We need to consider the lives of everyone on this ship.

Send her back to her people, and we might just live to fight another day.

It should be Evas choice.

Hopefully she chooses to rejoin them and save the rest of our crew.

Alicia, go check with Mr. Trust and see if theres anything

you can do to get the engines back up sooner.

Hey. What are you doing out of your cell?

Security!

- Security! - Angus?

Something wrong?

Security. You wish to report something?

Uh...

They want us to return you in their shuttle.

If we dont, they said theyll destroy us.

Then I have to go for the sake of this ship and everyone on it.

- Eva, it seems like you dont wanna go back. - I dont want to leave Brice.

I dont wanna leave my friends on the Ark.

But you said you hated us.

I said I hated the GSA leadership,

but thats not who any of you are.

- Trust. - Garnet.

You didnt have to send genius girl here. I had it under control.

Except you missed the fact that the differential battery was misaligned with...

I missed nothing. How can I help you, Captain?

Do you remember when you told me if we ever wanted

to rig up a makeshift weapon, you had an idea how to do it?

Oh. I thought youd never ask.

All right, everyone! Youre perfectly safe. Theres nothing more to see.

Lets go back to our posts, please, come on.

Yeah, lets go!

Are you not at all worried about whats on the other side of the glass?

Brother, people have been trying to kill me

every day of my life since I was born.

Literally.

- To me, its just Tuesday. - Its Thursday.

You see that?

You see days when there are none,

and I see everything as one long endless Tuesday.

Yeah, its amazing how different we are.

- Is it? - Which reminds me.

Something thats just been running through my head.

How the hell is it that you came to be raised as a normal?

Well, I dont know. As far back as I can remember, I had a mom and dad.

- I dont remember any lab. - Have you got any pictures of your parents?

Here.

Oh.

- See, now that explains a lot. - What do you mean?

Your dad was the officer we used to see through the window

when we was at the lab as kids.

I think he was the officer that was in charge.

- Are you sure? - Yeah.

He mustve taken you from the facility.

Wait, he stole me as a baby?

Well, I dont know about "stole."

I mean, technically we might have all been his property to begin with,

if you know what I mean.

Oh, God. They told me that my mother

couldnt have children after she had me.

But maybe she could never have children in the first place.

He brought me home so that they could raise me as their own.

It was all a lie.

Captain Avega, we appreciate your patience.

Captain Garnet, have you reached a decision?

Are you sending Eva Vukovic or not?

Ill let Eva speak for herself.

Captain Avega, with respect, Id prefer to stay here.

I thought I made myself clear. This is non-negotiable.

Its Evas choice, not yours or mine. She wants to stay with us.

Youre welcome to take your shuttle back.

How do I know shes not talking under duress?

Im speaking freely. They left it up to me.

Then youve dug your own grave.

Sharon.

Theyre arming their weapons.

Now, Mr. Trust.

Their weapons just lost power.

Great job, Mr. Trust.

Youre welcome, but all I did was buy us time.

We still have to fix our engines

before they fix their weapons.

There will be consequences for this, GSA.

We were merely defending ourselves.

As were we. As will we!

May I suggest we send a second pulse

targeting the life support systems.

- No, youd be killing everyone on board. - You can bet

your friends on that ship are trying to fix their weapons

so they can kill everybody on our ship.

If we attack them without giving them a chance, what does that say about us?

That we like being alive?

That were exactly who they think we are.

What are you thinking, Sharon?

Captain Avega, I think it would be in both our interests to meet.

- What for? - Peace talks.

Sounds like a trap only a fool would fall for.

If we wanted you dead, we wouldve attacked your life support systems.

You dont have the ability to take out our life support.

How do you think we took out your weapons?

Theres nothing for us to talk about.

Fine, I really hoped youd be willing to talk.

Goodbye, Captain. Ready the EM cannon.

Tune it to their life support frequencies.

Yes, maam! Readying the weapons now!

Ready on my command!

- I propose a swap. - A swap?

Ill come unarmed with my second in command to meet you and yours,

but to assure my safety you will send two of your people to my ship.

If anything happens to us while aboard your ship,

the same will happen to your people here.

I assure you, nothing bad will happen here.

Then nothing bad will happen to your people on my ship.

Give me a moment.

- Thoughts? - Ill go.

No, I need you as my number two in the negotiations.

- Im your number 2. - EF killed your father.

Do you really think youre the one to be negotiating peace?

- Ill go. - With?

- Kimi. - Kimi is a friggin EF hunter.

How about Griff?

With Avega coming here for peace talks,

I need you to tell me everything you can

about the Eastern Federation.

Ill tell you what I know, but I keep telling you

they arent who you believe they are.

The EF has stopped the GSA from doing a lot of bad.

Mr. Trust, you worked with the GSA for years. Whats your take?

Well, I wasnt working for the GSA when the whole lunar colony thing happened.

They came crawling to me after that.

But do you recall the state of the Earth at the time?

Yeah, large sections of the Earths mantle were turning molten,

crowding survivors into less and less space.

Yes, and as a result, resources were slim.

Which is why, in my opinion, the GSA was doing the right thing.

- The right thing? - For example,

had that lunar colony mission been successful,

it would have made my job much easier once I started working on the program.

What do you mean? What were they trying to do?

They were trying to develop a bio-agent

to painlessly kill six billion people on Earth.

Im sorry, did you... did you just say billion?

- With a B? - Yes. Look, its quite logical.

With fewer people remaining, Earths slim resources wouldve lasted longer,

and I wouldve had time to build more ships.

- Killing many to save more. - Precisely.

- Why didnt you tell us about this sooner? - You never asked.

- It just sounds too evil to be true. - Its simple maths.

The billions they wouldve killed would have died anyway a few months later.

Their early deaths would have saved the lives of many others.

- Its the trolley problem. - The trolley problem?

Its an old philosophy thought experiment.

You have the controls of a train thats barreling toward ten people on a track.

You can switch to a different track,

but that track has one person on it who would die.

- What would you do? - Well, it seems fairly obvious.

I mean, you kill the one to save the ten, right?

But what if the ten were all 90 years old and the one was a baby?

I guess, um... I guess you would kill the ten

because the baby has its whole life ahead of it.

Exactly what the GSA thought.

So youre saying that my dads program

was designed to murder billions of innocent people?

Who would have died anyway soon enough.

It would have helped us save many more human beings in the long run.

But you left out one thing. Who chose who survived?

- The GSA? - Yes.

And they chose themselves,

the wealthiest and the most powerful.

- Thats why the EF wanted to stop it. - I had no idea.

Im sorry. Just... I need a minute.

If what you two are saying is true does, that mean...

Are we the bad guys?

You got a minute?

- Sure. - How you holding up?

He was a good dad.

Or at least the man who was pretending

to be my father was a good dad.

Yeah, Im sure he was.

At home, you know?

But he was making a biological weapon to kill 6 billion people.

He mustve somehow believed he was doing the right thing.

Same twisted logic that Trust used.

You know, if youd have succeeded

in stopping the Eastern Federation

from attacking the lunar colony,

he wouldve killed all those people.

Yeah, I mean, I...

I dont really know how I feel about all that, to be honest.

I always thought it was the biggest mistake of my entire life, so...

Spence, are we all right?

We will be.

- Kimi. - Captain, Ive heard youve arranged

peace talks with the enemy.

- Thats a mistake. - Well see.

Right now I need to pick your brain.

Ark 15 left Earth quite a while after Ark 1.

What can you tell me about what happened between the GSA

and the Eastern Federation during that time?

- Well, like... - Let me guess.

You wanna know if the GSA were in the wrong?

- Uh, kinda. - Well, I hate to break it to you,

but from where I was standing, they sure as hell were.

- Thats not true. - But then so were the Eastern Federation.

They both did bad things.

Take it from a clone who was abused by everyone.

- Ian, youre a perfect neutral party. - Uh, thanks?

Youre not affiliated with the GSA or the Eastern Federation.

Perfect to mediate the peace talks.

Well...

Well, I guess I can play intergalactic peacemaker today and finish my book tomorrow.

Yeah.

- Captain Garnet. - Spread your arms and legs, please.

Captain Avega, this is Felix Strickland and Jelena Griff.

- They will be going to your ship. - Jelena? A nice Slavic name.

- Im Serbian. - Of course you are.

Never understood why so many from our part of the world

- would join the GSA instead of the EF. - All clear.

NASA and the Euro Space Agency

merged with the Serbo-Croatian Space Agency

to keep them in the fold.

They were one of the three

best space agencies on Earth.

The SCSA was arguably the best.

- I beg to differ. - Lets just say,

combined they were better than the sum of their parts.

I assure you, you will both be safe aboard the EF 2

as long as your captain keeps her word.

I will if you will.

Captain Avega, this is Lieutenant James Brice

- and Ian, our mediator. - No last name?

- No. Just Ian. - Hes a clone.

- That I am. - The Eastern Federation has historically

- disapproved of clones. - So has the GSA,

which is why hes an excellent neutral party.

Right this way, Captain.

Choices like that are exactly why

I cant imagine any peace between us.

Ooh. Not with that attitude.

Now tell me, have you ever tried potato vodka?

...GSA has shown again and again...

Can we all just stop talking at the same time, please?

- Thanks. - This is pointless.

Captain, whats your endgame here?

Just drift alone in space forever,

an island unto yourselves?

No, were going to Trappist.

Why Trappist specifically?

We received intel that GSA ships were headed

for Proxima and Ross.

- We wanted to avoid them. - I hate to tell you this,

but theres already a GSA colony being built as we speak at Trappist,

and more GSA ships headed there.

You wouldnt be avoiding anyone.

So that leaves you only one other option.

Whats that? Find another planet?

Come with us.

Why would you trust us?

I would. Only under one condition.

- Your ship fully disarms. - Absolutely not.

So what are you gonna do then?

Were going to keep our weapons,

and when we get to Trappist,

well fight for whats ours.

Ristic, were finished here.

Ooh. Whoa, whoa. Can we just...

Hold on. I mean, lets take a minute.

Can we just grab some snacks, hmm?

You cant give up that easily.

Im sorry it wasnt the outcome you wanted,

- but youll have to excuse us. - Go ahead, do it.

Squeeze the life out of me.

- Everyone stay where you are! - What are you doing, Sharon?

- Kill me. - Have you lost your mind?

Kill me. Then my people will kill you.

Your ship will fire on mine, mine yours, and everybody will die.

Even though none of them had anything to do with this

and nothing to do with what happened in the past.

And if your other ships ever find Trappist,

the GSA will attack them on sight,

your ships will fire back, and on and on.

This endless cycle of violence will continue until theres no one left.

- So go ahead! Kill me. - Youve made your point.

You lay a finger on my captain,

youre gonna be in a world of hurt, pal.

I dont think I have.

In our first encounter, you said to me you didnt want to contribute

to the extinction of the human race.

- I did. - Well, did you mean it or not?

Because if you walk out this room, thats exactly what youll be doing.

So, go on. Start with me first.

Is she always this forceful?

Oh, you have no idea.

Hmm.

If we disarm, how do we know the GSA

wont open fire on us when we arrive at Trappist?

You follow us there. When we arrive, you wait behind at a safe distance.

Well negotiate with the others

for you to peacefully join the colony.

When its safe, Ill summon you.

We cant disarm. Captain, its suicide.

If you arrive at Trappist with weapons hanging off your ship,

I guarantee they will open fire on you.

You have to dismantle them.

You arent seriously considering this?

- She has a point. - No, she doesnt.

Like it or not, Ristic, Garnets plan may be

the last and only hope for us all.

All right.

Lets talk about how we make this happen.

You cant be serious.

This decision will assure the GSA kills us all.

We owe it to humanity to try peace.

- Youre a damn fool, Avega. - Thats enough, Lieutenant.

Shall we?

- Angus? - I dont know why,

but I cant stop thinking about you.

Thank you for coming.

- How is she awake? - Hmm?

- Angus? - Kelly?

- What the hell are you doing? - I dont know what just happened.

Wait, wait, wait. Kellys vitals are stabilizing.

- The nanites. - Huh?

She needed all her nanites in order to heal, so they found their way home.

- So Im not crazy? - No.

Nanites are like tiny robots.

They can affect any organ in your body, including your brain.

They led you to this moment. Youre gonna be okay, Kelly.

Wait, there are two of them?

Our man who went to your ship was our head of security.

So Lieutenant Lane and Kimi Joma have filling in for him while hes gone.

Once we return, Ill send your people right over.

Then Ill brief my crew on the conditions of the peace plan.

Garnet, I want to thank you.

You opened my eyes in a way a lesser leader would not have been able to.

- Thank you. - Captain, I cant let you do this.

Avega, look out!

- Easy, easy. Hes still got a pulse. - Thank God.

- I got him. - Lane, help me get him to med bay.

Stay with me.

Lane.

Sharon.

I got you. Hey.

Hey, I got you. Its okay.

Its okay. Youre okay. Hey, youre okay.

- Ill stay with Lane. - Easy.

Captain Garnet, the EF 2s been calling wanting to know why the shuttle hasnt launched.

- Sharon, what the hell? - Oh, my God.

- Im fine. Im fine, Brice. - What happened?

- EF 2, this is Captain Garnet. - Sharon.

Garnet, Im 2nd Lieutenant Vujik. What is going on over there?

I wish we were meeting under better circumstances,

but something terrible has happened.

Lieutenant Ristic attacked Captain Avega and one of our men...

with a knife he smuggled aboard.

I tried to tell Avega we shouldnt trust you.

We had nothing to do with it.

Hed tell you himself that we didnt...

I have no choice but to execute one of them.

Both if you dont return Lieutenant Ristic unharmed.

Captain Avega is still alive. Our doctors are trying to save his life as we speak.

You have one more hour to save our leader.

Damn it!

Clean one.

That knife did a lot of damage. I cant stop the bleeding.

Clean.

Pressure is dropping.

- God damn it! - What?

Ive been trying to repair his liver,

but its so trashed it literally disintegrated under the sutures.

- Keep cleaning this. - If he dies, itll cause a war.

Well, Im sorry, but unless you know how to make liver out of plain cloth,

in a few hours hes a dead man.

Right, we need to stop this blood vessel.

Clean, clean! Come on, Spencer.

Doctors.

Update?

Its not good, Sharon.

The knife destroyed Captain Avegas liver.

- I cant save him. - Well, you gotta save him

because theyre gonna kill Strickland and Griff

and probably the rest of us if you dont.

Im not God.

Theres only so much I can do.

Sanji?

I dont, um...

I dont think Spencer is gonna make it either, Sharon.

What?

Both his kidneys are damaged. His spleen is basically gone.

Hes lost two liters of blood, and we cant pump it into him fast enough.

Well, theres gotta be something you can do.

I have tried everything I know. Please believe me.

Okay, well, switch patients.

Maybe theres something that you missed that you didnt see and the other way around.

- Dr. Kabir has tried everything I would. - And the other way around.

- How about Kellys nanites? - They can repair a lot of damage,

but they cannot manufacture whole organs.

Sharon, an hours passed.

Hows it going down there?

- Not good, James. - EF 2 is hailing.

What do you mean not good?

Garnet, your times up.

Look, um, Captain Garnets not here right now. Shes...

Shes indisposed. Please just stand by, right?

Sharon, what do I tell them?

I dont know.

Okay. Okay, okay, okay, okay. Listen.

Listen. You... you both are both amazing doctors, and Im sure theres a way.

Im sorry. Not this time.

We were made to be organ donors.

Thats generous of you to offer,

- but you cant live without a liver. - Not me.

No. No, that is not an option.

- No. - Sharon.

Sharon.

Look, I hate this as much as you do,

but Spencer is not going to make it.

And one of his few organs that is still intact is his liver.

Sanji, no. Dont make me.

Im sorry. Im so sorry. Im so sorry. Im so sorry.

Look, Im not pretending to know my brother as well as you lot do,

but hes in this pickle because he was trying

to save that blokes life to begin with.

Dont you think its what he would have wanted?

Its your call, Sharon.

If I agree to this...

...do you promise that you can save Avega, Dr. Marsh?

As long as his body doesnt reject Lieutenant Lanes liver.

No, it wont. Thats what we were made for.

Universal organ donors.

I need two hours.

Sharon, what do I tell them?

Okay.

- Okay. - Do it.

I dont believe this is real.

I just... I just want to wake up from this nightmare.

I know. I know, Alicia. I know. Me, too.

Your times up. As agreed to by your Captain,

its time for the execution of your people.

For the love of God,

- would you please just give a chance, okay? - No.

- No more stalling. - Eva, what the hell are you doing?

She insisted.

- Ana. - Eva?

Yeah, its me. Hows little Sofija?

- If you rejoined us, you could have seen her for yourself. - Hmm.

I belong here now, Ana.

Ark 1 gave me a home and a purpose.

The people here became my family.

Theyre good people who Ive come to love.

They dont want to hurt anyone.

That man you want to kill?

He saved my life more than once.

He has a daughter about Sofijas age.

- I have my orders. - Ana, you know me.

You know you can trust me.

And Im telling you,

if you just give time to our doctors to save him,

your captain will tell you the same thing Im telling you.

For you, Eva, I will wait.

But if Captain Avega doesnt make it,

Ill have no choice but to follow my orders.

Well done. Well done.

It looks like Captain Avegas gonna be okay.

Thank God.

How soon until we can put him on comms with his crew?

The anesthesias wearing off. Give him 15 minutes.

Im sorry about Lieutenant Lane.

- I want to see him. - Sharon.

Sharon, you really dont.

Its okay.
