Original subtitles

Previously on "The Ark"...

The edge of the Trappist system.

I feel like I know you better than Ive ever known anyone.

Well, you know a person in your dream, not me.

I cant just turn off my emotions like theyre some kind of switch.

We have your daughter.

You need to volunteer for a spacewalk.

- Im being blackmailed. - Whoevers doing this wants Trust dead.

We need them to think theyre in control.

Trust and Strickland are dead.

I ran an algorithm to trace the signal.

- And? - Its coming from Trappist-1D, but I cant pinpoint where.

So whoever did this is waiting for us at our new home.

- Felix, Mr. Trust, welcome home. - Its good to be back.

Captain Avega agreed to keep EF 2 at the edge of the solar system until you call him.

So, were back to the original plan?

We go to Trappist, try and ease them in

- to the idea of peace with the EF? - Theres no reason not to.

- I can think of one big reason. - They have my daughter.

- All right, two reasons. - Well find Katheryn.

But theres no evidence the Trappist leadership was behind her kidnapping

or the attempt on your life, Mr. Trust.

Well, theres no evidence that theyre not.

Well, its not rocket science, is it?

I mean, who do we know on Trappist that hates Trust?

- Evelyn. - Maybe. But she already had a chance to kill Trust.

Yeah, when she left us, Ms. Maddox said wed be welcome on Trappist.

True, but Maddox is mercurial.

Yeah, Which is the polite way to say that shes psychotic.

Whoever is behind this, right now we have the upper hand.

Because Mr. Stricklands blackmailer thinks he succeeded?

Exactly. As far as anyone on Trappist is concerned,

were mourning the accidental death of Mr. Trust

and our security chief.

Okay, so we go to Trappist,

we play business as usual, and we do a little snooping.

Wait, if were supposed to be dead,

that means we cant go down to the surface.

Yes, thats safer for you both.

Fine by me. Im not going down there with a target on my back.

I have to go down. Katheryn is in danger.

If they think youre dead, they have no reason to hurt her.

Leave Katheryn to us. Now do we have any leads on the blackmailer?

Not yet, but we have a plan.

All GSA communication devices have a unique frequency transponder.

We can modify our WDs to do a passive search

for the device that contacted Mr. Strickland.

If anyone gets within a 100 feet of it, theyll get an alert.

Its a good plan. Lets do it.

We are about to enter orbit of Trappist-1D.

I dont know if I should be excited or nervous.

How about both?

- Oh, its beautiful. - Other Arks are here.

Those are the foresections of Arks 11, 12, 13, and 15.

- 15, eh? So Maddox made it. - Wheres Ark 10 and 14?

Ark 10 shouldve been the first to arrive.

I had friends scheduled to be on both of them.

So did I. I hope theyre okay.

Well, we had detours. Maybe they did, too?

Scanning the landing coordinates the colony sent.

The aft-sections appear to have landed safely,

all within a square mile of each other.

I gotta to admit, using an Arks aft-section

for a colonys first habitable structure?

Its an elegant design, Mr. Trust.

- It worked. - Theres obviously water.

And the atmosphere is similar to Earth.

Theres a bit more oxygen,

a little less CO2 and nitrogen,

and gravity is 97.2% of Earth.

Its remarkably like home.

Look, I know its very exciting, but lets not forget,

somebody down there hacked our systems and tried to kill two of our people.

Until we know whos who, we cant trust anyone.

Its even more beautiful up close.

Its a damn sight nicer than where you found me.

I wonder how similar that vegetation is to Earths.

I mean, is it edible?

Engaging VTOL thrusters now.

If youre not gonna sit, you guys better brace for landing.

Im just bracing.

Whoa!

You shouldve braced.

Wow.

Everyone be cautious.

We dont know what were walking into.

This is amazing.

This is the first time I think I really believed

another planet could actually be home.

Smell that fresh air.

You know, I think I got used to that recycled O2.

But, man, this sunlight? I missed that!

All right, anyone look like a blackmailing kidnapper to you guys?

To be honest, they all just look really happy.

I would be, too. Their progress is impressive.

They cant have been here long. A year or two?

22 months in a week.

Vesna Ilic, governor of Home Base 1.

Please, call me Ves.

- And welcome. - Im Captain Sharon Garnet.

- Lieutenant James Brice. - Dr. Sanji Kabir.

- Lieutenant Kimimela Joma. - Ian.

Just Ian?

- No last name? - No.

- So youre a clone. - Is that gonna be a problem?

Ian is one of our engineers.

Hes here to survey the landing sites of our aft-sections.

We have a few other clones as part of our crew as well.

- In fact, Im a clone. - Dont worry yourself, Captain.

We have none of that animosity from Earth here.

Were all so fortunate to have made it to Home Base 1. Everyone is welcome here.

Good to hear.

I thought the GSA didnt allow children on Arks.

Ark 8 was commanded by civilians who didnt agree with that policy.

They brought their families and a number of orphans.

We should run their names against our crew manifest.

- Maybe they wont be orphans for long. - Wouldnt that be lovely?

Im sure you have a lot of questions, Captain.

Why dont you join me for lunch,

and the rest of you can explore at your leisure.

Enjoy your new home.

Uh, perhaps Evelyn Maddox could join us?

- We have a lot to discuss. - Unfortunately, Ms. Maddox

died in a tragic accident shortly before Ark 15 had arrived.

Come.

Died in a tragic accident shortly before arrival?

- Ring any bells? - Yep.

Sounds like what was supposed to happen to Felix and Trust.

Hey, slow down. Slow down, kids.

Youve got time to make it to school.

Wheres Katheryn?

I have three Katheryns in my class at school.

- What is this? - I recognize your voice.

Why did you want me to kill William Trust?

What? Why would I want to kill the guy who designed all this?

- Who are you? - You really dont know who I am?

Unlock it. Unlock it!

There are no records of any off-planet transmissions.

Who would I talk to in space?

Im sorry. Ive mistaken you for someone else.

- Again, who are you? - Unfortunately, I cant let my presence here be known.

Katheryn?

- Katheryn. - Who are you?

Katheryn, I know its been so long, but its me. Its Dad.

- Get away. I dont know you. - Katheryn.

- Thats the guy who attacked me. - Someone help!

Wait, please. No, get off of me.

Please. Its me! Its Dad!

You dont understand! Katheryn!

Am I due for a check-up?

No.

Somethings happened, and I wanted to be the one to tell you.

Whats wrong?

Your mother has passed.

We dont have all the details yet.

All we know is she never made it to Trappist.

Kelly, you okay?

Honestly...

I dont know how to feel.

Neither do I.

Curried quinoa, tofu chili. Not bad.

Yeah, itd be damn near perfect if there wasnt a murderer running about.

- You think Maddox was murdered, too? - Come on.

- Its a bit of a coincidence-- - Kimimela?

Gabby!

Lieutenant Brice, Dr. Kabir, this is Gabby Yur.

- We served together on Ark 15. - Oh, hey.

Welcome to Trappist. Took you long enough to get here.

Yeah, well, we had to stop off for parts,

- you know, with Ark 15 abandoning us and all. - Okay, easy.

Gabby is a civilian horticulturalist and a friend.

You know, at first I was mad you didnt take me with you to Ark 1.

- Yeah, everything happened so fast. - Its fine.

It means I got to Trappist sooner.

- Were so fortunate to be here. - Yeah.

So, look, I have to know.

- Just between us, what happened to Maddox? - Oh.

Ms. Maddox died in a tragic accident.

- What kind of accident? - Ms. Maddox died in a tragic accident.

Okay. Lady, Im just asking a simple question here, right?

- What-- - Uh, James?

- Oh, bollocks. -Whats going on? Oh, my-- no!

This says youre fully self-sustaining with only 1,200 people?

1,256.

Well, 1,257 in a couple of weeks

unless Jennifer May has twins.

- And do you lead by GSA rank? - No. Im a civilian.

We have an election every solar cycle.

- Are there any signs of life? - Well, obviously theres vegetation.

Beyond that all weve found were insect-like creatures,

a few forms of microscopic life,

and we saw a small flying bird-like creature.

But we werent able to catch one to have a closer look.

Amazing. Is the vegetation edible?

For now we stick to crops that we grow ourselves

while our scientists examine the indigenous plants.

Were very cautious around here.

We still wear hazmat suits beyond our Sanitized Zone.

Have you heard from other ships?

No. But were happy to share this world

with anyone who comes in peace.

Were so fortunate to be here.

So youre not looking for ships that are lost or stranded?

Well, weve been preparing this planet

for when they eventually do arrive.

Besides, I cant ask anyone to leave this wonderful place

and go back out there to search for needles in a haystack.

- Theres trouble with your crew. - What happened?

They asked too many questions.

Hi. Oh, hi. Fantastic place.

We are so fortunate.

We are so fortunate.

Are you okay, lady?

We are so fortunate.

Hey.

Oh.

We are so fortunate to be here.

Huh. Okay, then.

Target is reported in Corridor E.

We are so fortunate.

We are so fortunate.

Oh! Thank God, youre over here.

Youre not gonna believe what I just--

- Felix? Whered you come from? - I stowed away.

- What? And youre not salty about that? - Of course not.

- Felix found his daughter. Isnt that wonderful? - Oh, amazing.

- Where is she? - Oh, shes waiting down here.

Shes so fortunate to be here.

Were all so fortunate to be here.

- Yeah. Is that what you think, too? - Oh, youre damn straight.

Yeah, just so fortunate to be here.

Right, the sooner we take off, the sooner we can get back.

- Eva, I have to tell you something. - Whats going on?

You are not gonna believe it down there! Its absolutely fantastic.

You were saying?

No, I wanted to go over the engineering duty roster, but it can wait.

Theres a lot to catch up on. Follow me.

Okay.

- Ah. Alicia. Can I talk to you? - Ian, I know.

Youve been here weeks and I havent taken the time to get to know you, but--

Yeah, I look like Spencer. Its all very awkward, right?

This isnt a social call. We have a problem.

And they have a fully inclusive society.

They didnt even care that Ian was a clone.

Thats fantastic. Whats our timeline for settlement?

Oh, ASAP. The crew just need a medical intake exam

so we dont bring down any viruses or pathogens.

Subdural implant guns? Why would we need those for intake?

- What are you doing? - Felix taught me this hold.

What the hell is going on?

Get off me!

- Get off me! - Jelena, its fine.

Thank you.

Okay. Lets get to work.

Its like they were hypnotized or something.

And you saw Maddox use some sort of implant gun on a colonist?

Yeah, it looked like she injected something behind the girls ear.

- About here? - Mm-hmm.

Lambdoid suture. Its like a seam in the skull

that the new med tech uses for brain access.

They use subdural injection guns to insert meds, probes,

- stuff like that into brains. - So you believe me?

Shes mucking with peoples brains.

Well, it wouldnt be the first time.

Maddox did it to Dr. Marsh.

Of course. The mind control chip.

But I thought that didnt work.

Sounds like she finally perfected it.

Eva! Ive been waiting for you.

I had to get my medical intake exam.

I assume you wanted to talk duty roster.

- No, no, no, no. Thats not what-- - Itll be all hands.

Once everyones had their exam,

were separating the foresection.

No, you cant. Maddox is on Trappist.

- Yeah. - Ms. Maddox died in a tragic accident.

Get your intake exam, then come help us prep the separation.

- Shes been bloody chipped. - That must be how Maddox does it.

When a new Ark arrives, they invite people down and chip them

and then send them back to their ships to do it to everyone else.

Hey, Doc Kabir brought back a crate marked medical supplies.

All hands report to med bay for your medical intake exam.

This exam is necessary to settle on Trappist.

We need to assure we dont bring any infectious diseases

to the colonists already on the planet.

And we will inject each of you with a generalized vaccine

to protect us from any potential infections

they have already found at Home Base 1.

Were all so fortunate to be here.

Looking for your boyfriend

Im teaching him how to play chess.

Have either of you had your intake exam yet?

No. Im playing dead, remember? The kids keeping me company.

Then we need to talk.

And now theyre implanting chips in the rest of the crew during the intake exam.

Leave it to Evelyn to perfect my most immoral technology.

So if you created these chips, you know how to stop them, right?

Yes, of course. After Evelyn stole Trust Corp,

I coded in kill switches into the more dangerous programs.

- I knew she wasnt as ethical as me. - Youre ethical?

So it was Maddox who wanted you dead.

- She was worried you could stop her. - The chips are networked.

I could input the kill switch command

- into the server that broadcast the orders. - No. No dice.

Servers are probably down on Trappist.

If theyre networked, can we modify one of the chips

to send the signals to the others?

Yes, but the signal wont be strong enough to reach the planet,

- just our crew. - Well, any port in a storm, mate.

But the bigger problem is that the chip would already

have to be active in someones brain,

and the chip is the size of a grain of rice

and its circuitry is microscopic.

So we dont have the tools to modify it.

Kelly has microscopic machines in her blood.

- Could we use them? - That could work.

Boy, Im glad I didnt kill her.

- They said Mother was dead. - Look, I know what Earths richest woman looks like.

- It was Maddox. - Maybe they chipped her, too?

Can you think of anyone else with the audacity to enslave everyone on a planet?

- Take it all. - Dont worry. I only need a few nanites.

We just need these kids to come back with a syringe.

Well, then what? I mean, who do we try this on?

Well, in order to use the nanites,

we need access the WD controller.

- Which is in Captain Garnets cabin. - Two birds, one stone.

Sorry it took so long. Griff was there so I had to distract her

- while Angus got the syringe. - All right. Give it to me.

Griff wants us to bring you to med bay.

You dont understand how fortunate we are to be here.

Were just gonna leave them locked in there?

Well, at least the lovebirds get to be together.

- Youre making a mistake! -Let us out!

Theyre gonna ruin everything.

Not if I can help it.

- What a pleasant surprise. - Have you got a minute?

- Always for you. - Yeah, its kind of personal.

- Maybe inside? - This is about the coma? Youre right.

- We need to talk about it. It was so romantic. - Yeah, the coma.

Look, romantic isnt exactly how youve talked about it.

Yeah, I was kind of burying my emotions,

but Ive decided to let myself be happy.

- Why didnt you stop her? - My implants arent on.

- Sharon, I dont wanna hurt you. - Dont worry. You wont.

Sharon, dont!

Let me go! You dont understand!

Its okay. Thisll bring you back.

No! No, Im happy. Dont take that away from me.

- Youll thank me, I promise. - You can be happy, too.

You can all be so happy. Dont you wanna grow old together?

Come on! No! No.

Sharon? Sharon, are you in there?

Brice, hurry!

Get this door open, whatever it takes.

Trust!

Its done.

The nanites are programmed to modify Garnets chip.

Then why is she still struggling?

Because the nanites have to travel through Garnets blood,

reprogram the chip, and then transmit the kill switch!

- It didnt work, Trust! - It takes a moment!

We dont have a moment!

-Sharon! - Get out.

- Sharon. - Hurry.

Get off! No, get off!

Sharon, take the SIG.

Oh, you are so fortunate.

Sharon, please dont do this.

We are gonna be so happy together.

-Sharon. - Why did you--

- Holy shit. - It worked.

Hey. You back?

You remember the last three hours?

I remember all of it. Come on.

- Brice, prep the shuttle. - Were going back to the scene of the crime?

We need to free the colony and find Evelyn Maddox.

According to Trust, the kill switch shoulde spread to everyone.cy.e get clo

- Like it did with all of us. - Thats a lot of "shoulds."

- If this goes wrong, were outnumbered. - We have to try.

No. Theyre victims.

Well, thats a relief.

All right, everyone, go! Shoo! Spread it!

Hug people, pat em on the back. Theyll thank you later.

Spread out and look for Maddox. She wont take this well.

Brice, with me.

Captain Garnet, I am so sorry.

- How did this happen, Ves? - Maddoxs crew overwhelmed us.

When she arrived, all of Ark 15 was already under her control.

Maddox did this to her own crew?

- Where is she now? - I dont know.

I cant find Katheryn anywhere.

Eva to Brice, everything okay down there?

Our shuttle just took off.

Who the hell is on my shuttle?

Sharon Garnet.

Every time we meet you cause me trouble.

Land the shuttle, Evelyn. Now.

One shuttle is a small price to pay

for everything you cost me.

Dont follow me or little Katheryn will suffer.

This is Maddox. Trappist didnt work out.

Meet me at the rendezvous point to plan our next move.

- Where are you taking me? - Dont you worry, child.

I have wonderful plans for you.

Just like you did with me?

I figured youd run when things didnt go your way.

Kelly! Im so glad youre here.

- Ive missed you so much. - Who are you?

A friend.

All those people, you stole their freedom.

When I arrived, they were fighting for control.

They were destroying themselves.

So you turned them into your servants.

I made them happy.

I wouldve freed them if the colony was more stable.

We just werent there yet.

Turn the shuttle around.

Or what? You dont want to hurt me.

I dont.

- But I will if I have to. - Youre in control of your implants now.

Go to the back, Katheryn.

You wont kill me.

Youre right. Im not like you anymore.

Ill let Captain Garnet decide your punishment.

Sweetheart, come with me.

Itll be a new beginning for us.

I hope they throw you in a cell

and I never have to see you again.

Im so disappointed in you.

You wanted to build a killing machine?

Congratulations.

This is Kelly Fowler.

Can someone tell me how to land this thing?

-Move closer, Felix. -To deactivate her chip.

I dont want to scare her.

Evelyn Maddox took away our sense of selves, we now have both back.anks to the c

And with that in mind,

I would like to welcome the captain of Ark 1

who has some good ideas how to assure our future success.

- Captain Garnet. - Go on, Sharon.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Ves.

On Ark 1, we established a council made up of personnel

from all factions of our population.

I suggest the same thing now.

We form an interim governing council

to prepare for an election.

Ves can speak for the colonists who were here before Maddox,

and when the Eastern Federation ship arrives,

Captain Avega can represent them.

Thank you, Captain,

and I nominate you to represent your crew.

Yeah!

Im honored, but I have to decline.

- May I ask why? - Well...

- Im not staying. - What?

A lot of ships made it off Earth,

but we dont know where they are.

We dont know if anyone made it to Ross-128

or if they were even able to start a colony there.

Im sure many of you have friends and family on some of those ships.

I know I do.

And I believe the people who may still be out there

deserve to make it to their new home, too.

So before we break apart Ark 1,

Id be remiss not to take a crew back out there,

find those ships, and bring our friends and family home.

Sharon, youve done enough. Let someone else do it.

I want to do this, James, and Im the best one for the job.

My body was literally designed to serve in space.

Yeah, thats true, but come on.

But I need a crew.

Anyone who wants to join is welcome,

- GSA, EF... - Im in.

- Me, too. - Ill go.

- Ill go. - Thank you.

Well organize a formal sign-up.

As for an Ark 1 representative to stay here,

I nominate Felix Strickland.

- Im not a politician. - Exactly why youd perfect.

And I think you have a special incentive to make this place work.

That I do.

Unless there are any objections?

Between technology developed by Mr. Trust,

the GSA, and EF, we can really do it.

We can build a new civilization.

Its going to be so amazing.

I cant believe I get to help build it all.

Yeah, it really is a world filled with of opportunities...

...for an engineer.

Oh. But not for a pilot or a navigator.

Hey, look, its not-- its not gonna be forever.

Were gonna be bringing in ships all the time.

You know what that means.

Shore leave?

Damn straight.

Im gonna miss you.

...that was insane.

Alicia, these are the Home Base horticulturists.

You cant believe what they showed me.

There are plants here with rudimentary sensory organs.

Like, they turn toward you when you approach. Its so cool.

Thats-- thats exciting.

Are you okay?

Captain Garnet offered me Chief Science Officer on Ark 1.

Oh. Okay.

Well, Ark 1 still needs someone to run the bioshelter.

So, yeah, these guys seem to have a really good system figured out.

Well give you guys some privacy. Nice meeting you.

- Those guys dont need me. - Yes, they do.

Yeah, they do.

They, uh, designated acres for farmland

without checking soil acidity.

Its amateur hour.

Hey.

Im gonna wait for you.

Angus.

I cant believe the colonys doctor wants to join Ark 1.

I mean, how could anyone leave that science lab?

Yeah, it is rather impressive.

Yeah, Home Base 1 is everything we hoped for.

Were so fortunate to be here.

- Ah! Gotcha! - Aww.

You.

So after you put me in whatever that hold

- Strickland taught you was called... - Yeah?

Youre obviously feeling a little bit more in control, yes?

Yeah. And its nice to feel that way again.

Hmm. Hmm.

I had to do that once before you left.

Im staying.

Huh.

Im staying, too.

- What? - Well, you said it yourself.

The colony doctor is going on the Ark, so Im staying here.

- Did you just decide that? - No.

Yes. Yes, I did.

Right after that kiss.

The shuttle has docked with the last of the volunteer crew. We have a full contingent.

Its a good mix. Civilians, GSA, EF. Just like we hoped.

- Permission to board, Captain? - You wanna join?

- Why? - You know why.

We need a head of Life Support serving under Alicia.

Aye, aye.

Home Base 1 is hailing us, Captain.

Calling to see us off, Felix?

That and Eva has a parting gift for you.

Im sending you a data packet I pulled from Ark 15s database.

It contains a log of most of the Earth ships and their projected courses.

- Excellent. Thank you. - Also, I updated the colonys--

And I just wanted to apologize.

I know you desperately wanted me to come along.

Well, I cant be everywhere.

I think well be okay without you, Mr. Trust.

Uh, Ms. Nevins, I just wanted to say

that I personally retro-fitted Ark 1

with the technology from the other ships.

- It is now state of the art. - Thank you.

- Dont worry. Alicias got this. - Oh, I have no doubt.

- Ive taught her everything I know. - Okay, so I was--

Uh, hey, Alicia. Hey, please dont take chances.

- Be safe. - That goes double for you, Brice.

Hey, people, its not for that long.

Well be back home soon with the first survivors we find before you know it.

Well leave the light on for you.

Right.

- Where to, Captain? - Ross.

Lets see if theyve established their colony.

- Alicia? - FTL is already charged.

Initializing FTL

in three, two, one.

This is amazing.

Alicia, is it actually amazing?

or is it one of those scary science things

thats, like, amazing, but its probably gonna kill us all?

The first one.

I ran diagnostics on the upgraded tech we installed,

and Ark 15s long range communications array

- uses our FTL to boost its signal. - How far?

Far enough to contact Ross-128.

- We could hail them right now. - Do it.

This is Captain Sharon Garnet of Ark 1

attempting to reach the colonists off Ross-128B. Please respond.

This is Ark 1 hailing Ross-128.

- Comms might be damaged. - Yeah, or they might all be dead.

Is this how it is on the bridge?

Always just jumping to the worst?

It could just be a simple signal interference.

True. Depending on Rosss orbit, it could--

This is the Ross colony.

This is Ark 1, en route to you.

Were excited to hear your voice.

Turn around.

Im sorry. I dont think I caught that.

- Please repeat. - Do not come to Ross.

Turn around before its too late!

Okay, now we can assume the worst.

Let me see? Yeah.

Yeah, the pH levels are more promising here.

I just want a few more samples.

Bedrock?

Uh, lets hope not.

Hey, pass me the shovel.

What is that?

Uh, you said you havent found any higher life here?

No.

Then who wrote this?

I wonder what it says.

Hopefully its not "No trespassing."
