What happened?

There was a crash.

One of the alien ships spit some
kind of bioweapon in my eyes-

a gas.

What's wrong with Daddy?

Silas.

Kylie, come on.

Send Silas.

You need an antibiotic
and steroid drops.

Silas won't know
where to get them.

You're not going to find
an open pharmacy, Lynn.

They're probably all
ransacked or destroyed.

A small urgent care
is better anyway.

There's one a few miles
from here.

It's too dangerous.

Not having my husband
well enough to protect us

is dangerous.

We need you well.

I need you well.

This is the only way.

Hello, Feena.

Shh!

Quiet.

Are you lost?

No.

Buzz off.

Can I provide assistance?

A light, perhaps?

You want to help me?

Let me talk to Duncan.

The answer is still no, Feena.

Why?

Because it might make me happy?

Because I do not project
holograms for your amusement.

My amusement.

For someone so concerned
with the human race,

you know next to nothing
about it.

Why am I even talking to you?

You're not in charge.

Can't sleep either?

Sorry, I didn't know
you were in here.

Room's big enough for two.

You overheard?

Hard not to.

Duncan was someone...

special to me.

The drone has his brain state.

So you came to the Obelisk
to ask that he be reborn?

They said if we did
what they asked,

they would give us more people.

You got the weapon.

We did what they asked.

So give us more people.

Couldn't agree more.

And if they're going to
give us more people,

they might as well be
people we care about.

Might as well.

You asked for Lynn and Kylie?

I didn't ask for anybody.

Why not?

I don't know how.

Abram says talking to it
doesn't do any good,

plus I don't believe that
whoever's on the other end

of this thing actually cares.

Then why did you come in here?

Because I want to believe.

Did you open the weapon?

I was going to ask you
the same thing.

Abram wouldn't have.

Not without telling us.

You added something.

Herbs.

Don't ask me what they are.

I have no idea.

You put in random plants?

They could be poisonous.

The Obelisk would've stopped me.

Yes.

The wise and powerful Obelisk.

I've already eaten some.

It didn't kill me.

How comforting.

It's better though, right?

Yeah, it's not ribeye steak,
but it's better.

It's still gross, I know,
but it's a flavorful gross.

We can't keep eating this
three times a day.

Ezra went out hunting
this morning.

If he has any luck,
we'll all eat better.

But in the meantime,
I'm a good chef though, right?

I mean, making something
out of nothing!

It was a rock.

And you saw no one?

If you stole my food,
I'd hit you with a rock too.

It doesn't matter that
it wasn't our snare.

These are our woods.

Anyone who hunts here
is a thief.

Fine, then.

Find this thief.

Take Duncan.

He's healthy now.

What of the Reborns?

This object they unearthed?

It killed one of our own.

The safety of our people is my
utmost concern as well, Jax.

Once we send our brother
to the Ancestor,

we will find this object
and destroy it.

You think we should
open it more?

Not without Ezra.

D'you think it's a bomb?

Hope not.

Well, it looks like a bomb.

Ezra said he dug it up
from the ground.

So who put it there?

Maybe no one.

Maybe it was buried by time,
like those cars in the desert.

So it's from the invasion?

Maybe.

What's it saying?

Give me a second.

I've never seen most of
these symbols before.

You're to go to the lake.

Alone.

Why?

They're giving us more people.

Maybe you should wait for Ezra.

That's not what
the Obelisk said.

Since when do you
obey the Obelisk?

It operates the force field.

That's reason enough to obey it.

Them, not it.

The Obelisk is a
communication device,

not the thing speaking.

Whatever.

Are you sure they didn't say
who they'd be giving us?

You think I'd keep
that from you?

You must know.

You'll be depositing
the brain states.

Sometimes he doesn't shut up
and sometimes he does that.

If I bring him back
in four pieces,

you know why.

What if you need help?

The Obelisk believes in me;
Why don't you?

See what you can find out
about that weapon...

without blowing yourself up.

Rabbit bones.

Someone ate well.

These tracks were
made by a child.

It can't be a coincidence.

I ask for Duncan,

and then the Obelisk says
it's giving us more people.

Seems cruel to give us
someone else.

You have nothing to say?

Not even, "I can neither
confirm nor deny."

This is why people dislike you.

You can remove the lid.

Okay.

We're supposed to beat the
Skin Riders with this?

To understand the weapon,

you must first understand
the Skin Rider parasite.

Its brain contains over
100 billion nerve cells

woven through an organic
crystalline structure.

A crystal brain?

Why does it glow?

Due to the transference
of charged particles

through the neural network.

Basically, the light
means it's thinking.

Not a very smart
evolutionary design.

Light would attract predators.

Which is why human hosts
are instructed to cover and

protect their parasite.

Creepy.

The light intensifies

when one Skin Rider communicates
telepathically with another.

They can read each
other's minds?

No,

but they can send
messages and information

across short distances.

How far a distance?

A few hundred meters at most.

What does the weapon do?

It breaks down the ionic bonds
and crystal lattices.

It shatters the crystal.

Like turning glass into sand.

The weapon is not intended for
individual Skin Riders, however;

But rather, for the Ancestor...

A repository of all the memories
of their civilization.

They store their memories
outside of their bodies?

When a Skin Rider dies,

the crystal is removed and then
added to the Ancestor so that

the life and knowledge of that
Rider will forever be preserved.

That's actually a
beautiful concept...

In a horror movie kind of way.

Where is this Ancestor?

Hidden somewhere near.

You and the others
must find it and destroy it.

Now what?

Yeah.

I'll just wait here, then.

Whoever made these arrows gave
zero consideration to accuracy.

I might as well be
throwing rocks.

Should you be messing with that?

Yellow says it's safe.

Where's Feena?

Before you get angry,
hear me out.

Lower the force field.

The instructions were
for Feena to go alone.

I don't care what the
instructions were.

Lower the force field.

The Obelisk controls
the force field, Ezra,

not me.

Then tell the Obelisk
to let me out.

I don't speak to the Obelisk.

Communication with them
is oneway.

They speak to us.

If there's a way to
send them a message,

I don't know what it is.

So we're trapped in here.

Why?

Perhaps the Obelisk

does not want to endanger
more than one of you.

One of those people out there
could be my wife or daughter.

Feena is capable,

or the Obelisk would not
have chosen her.

And you're okay with this?

I don't like it.

They're giving us more people.

That's what matters.

What matters is that we still
get to act like human beings.

We lose that,
they haven't restored anything.

Grab the rope!

I got you.

Come on.

Come on.

I've got you.

Lynn?

Are you hurt?

No.

No, I woke up on the water.

What?

What is wrong with you?

Verification complete.

Welcome, Lynn.

Are you all right?

What was that?

What happened?

It's a long story.

I'll let Ezra explain.

Ezra?

Your husband.

Do you remember him?

Yes, of course.

Do you remember me?

Have we met?

Not like this.

Your brain state doesn't
record new memories, apparently.

My brain state?

I'll explain later.

I'm Feena.

A friend.

I'm here to help you.

This is too easy.

Collect the Sparks.

Give them to me,
and I will let you live.

I know you.

Quickly!

To the settlement.

What about the others?

The Sparks won't make others.

Not now.

Bu-

Hurry!

Come on!

Duncan.

You're alive-

Are you all right?

Run!

This way.

Come on!

Get up.

I can't keep up. My foot-

You have to.

Come on!

No, they'll catch us both
because of me.

Here.

Take my shoes.

No!

There's no time.

How far is Ezra?

A few miles.

Go to him. He'll come for me.

I'm not leaving you.

Yes, you are.

A tranquilizer.

How humane of your drone
to treat me like an animal.

Where's the other one?

Ran off.

Then find her.

Filtered rainwater.

A man who shares his
waterskin shares his life.

I don't even get a thank you.

Perhaps the Sparks didn't
weave your brain properly.

Wouldn't be the first time
they made a mistake, but,

no, I think that stupid
arrogance is just who you are.

What are Sparks?

The little synapses
are firing after all.

Sparks are water creatures.

They made you.

You were dead.

Now you're not.

Comes as a shock, doesn't it?

What do you mean, "made me"?

"Wove you" is more accurate.

From organic matter in
the water, air, stone.

Neat trick?

That's not possible.

No?

Check yourself.

Got any scars,
birthmarks, tattoos?

Not anymore, you don't.

You're the new and
improved Lynn.

So you do remember me.

My human does.

But it's been a lot longer
than you think.

Look around.

Does it look like we're
still fighting the Karik?

Do you hear any warships,
people screaming and dying?

That's because the
invasion ended...

four hundred years ago.

Jameson, cover that corner!

Help.

The Karik won that war.

You humans went the way
of the dinosaurs.

You say that like
you're not human.

That surprises you.

That's because humans
are arrogant.

If it's intelligent,
if it can speak,

you assume it must be human.

You look human.

Nobody's perfect.

Then what are you?

Impatient.

Your feet are cut.

Put them in the water.

Keep them there.

Don't move.

They heal.

If they find damaged tissue,
they mend it.

They can even penetrate
your pores

and repair strained muscles.

See for yourself.

The Reborns put them here.

I want to collect them.

They'll come to you...

If your foot is bleeding.

Cut it...

Or I will.

I wanted to wait for you before.

But if we would've,

the force field would
have remained closed

and neither you nor
Feena could have left.

Is that what the
Obelisk told you?

You think I'm making this up?

I think you're being
manipulated.

Do you ever question
what they tell you?

Consider what they're asking?

If we disobey them,
there are consequences.

Did the Obelisk
tell you that too?

Or did you just feel it?

I don't know why they
picked me, all right?

I don't know why I feel their
messages and you don't.

Why they let me know things.

But here's one thing
I know on my own:

The human race is more
important than you.

Or me, or your wife,
or any of us.

And if they're trying
to preserve that,

trying to restore our species,

then yeah, I'm on their side.

You can call it manipulation
or foolishness.

Call it whatever you want.

But it's not going to stop me
from doing whatever I can

to bring back more people.

Once you have your companion,

once we've opened your mind,
you'll understand.

And you'll thank me.

Wait!

I don't understand.

You want the cloth?

Here.

I don't know what you mean.

You want me to cover my eyes?

This is a blindfold.

I'm not going to cover my eyes.

All right, all right, all right.

Now what?

Did you make this?

For me?

Thank you.

They fit perfectly.

You even have them in my color.

What do you think?

Thank you.

It's good jerky.

So where's your family?

Do they live nearby?

Do you not speak English?

Espanol?

Francais?

Deutsch?

I don't speak any
of those either,

so it wouldn't really help us.

Do you have a name?

My name is Lynn.

Lynn.

What's your name?

My husband lives nearby
and I need to get to him.

His name is Ezra.

Do you know Ezra?

My daughter would be
about your age.

Does it always take this long?

Reconstituting a human body
is a delicate process.

Are you going to tell me
to trust the Obelisk

like Abram does?

Abram isn't your enemy,
nor is the Obelisk.

It's Feena.

Open the gate!

What happened?

The Skin Riders took Lynn.

Where?

A creek near the lake.

I tried to get her to come,

but she stalled them
so I could get back to you.

Can you take me there?

Yeah.

Take down the force field.

If someone is taken
by the Skin Riders, Ezra,

they are taken.

There is nothing
you can do about it.

Yes, there is.

What are you doing?

Getting my wife.

You think breaking the Obelisk

is going to shut down
the force field?

We'll find out.

No, we won't.

THINK for a second!

You can't take on the
Skin Riders alone.

She's my wife.

And how're you
going to find her?

You think they're waiting
for you at the creek?

They're gone by now.

Well, then, I'll track 'em.

And end up in their
hands as well.

Don't you see?

The Obelisk is protecting you.

Whose side are you on, Abram?

The side that doesn't want
to see you get killed

without accomplishing anything.

I won't allow you
to strike the Obelisk, Ezra.

What, are you going to
shoot me with a dart?

That's up to you.

Where are you going?

To find another way out.

That's a really good impression.

I love playing with you,

but I've got to find my friends,

so I can't stay he-

Who are you?

I'm a nurse.

You were injured.

I gave you something
for the pain.

Red Hawk, this is-

Where's my radio?

I already tried.

Red Hawk, Red Hawk,
this is Viper 6.

Do you copy?

Where are my men?

There were four of us.

The others are in the corridor.

You're the only one
that made it.

So you moved me?

They were coming.

Thank you.

There's shrapnel in your leg.

I need to remove it.

I'm going to get back
to my unit.

You're not going anywhere.

There's a ship parked
right outside,

not one of ours.

We're stuck here for now.

How bad is the leg?

If I don't treat it now,
you'll lose it.

All right.

Do what you need to do.

You lost a lot of blood.

This isn't the best way
to do this,

but we're sort of
short on options.

You're giving me your own?

We're the same blood type.

I already checked.

Isn't this a clinic?

Don't they have blood here?

I don't know how long
the power's been out.

I can't radiate it before
I give it to you, but...

I assure you, I'm clean.

I'm not worried about that,
ma'am.

It's Lynn.

Thank you, Lynn.

Okay.

Okay, give me a sec!

I'm not as young as you.

Is this the way to your people?

I hope you know
where you're going.

Jax!

We lost her.

Tracked her for a couple miles,

but she slipped through.

She'll be back at the
settlement by now.

I don't need a weapon
to kill you.

You're like children!

I'm tempted to let you two
kill each other.

You found your thief?

I see.

So you've accomplished nothing.

The day wasn't a
total waste, then.

Nice to see someone
taking the initiative.

Is it operative?

It will require ssome repairs.

Because you didn't think
to subdue it gently?

Have enough sense at least
to get out of the rain.

No.

Not until I have
what I came for.

Careful, Jax.

Judging by that head wound,

you're not the only predator
in the woods today.

There isn't another way out.

The force field is a sphere
with the Obelisk at the center.

You're sure?

This wall is the same distance
from the Obelisk

as the force field
beyond the gate is.

Couldn't dig our way out of here
if we wanted to.

It's my fault.

I didn't want to wait for you

because I thought if we
went against the Obelisk,

it wouldn't give us Duncan.

But he's already alive.

He's a Skin Rider.

Like your brother.

He looked at me
like he didn't know me.

And now that's going to
happen to Lynn because of me.

You can't blame yourself, Feena.

I'm the one who
left her out there.

And you did what
she told you to do.

Believe me, it's never
a good idea to defy Lynn.

I'm going to help you
get her back.

We're going to help each other.

What happened?

I had to put you under.

Removing shrapnel
doesn't really go well

when the patient is awake.

You say that like
you've done this before.

I've helped with a few
hundred trauma surgeries.

I'm lucky you were around, then.

What were you doing in here,
anyway?

My husband needs medication.

Did you find what you needed?

Not exactly, but it might work.

Hopefully.

If you tend to him half as
well as you tended to me,

he'll be okay.

What about you?

You married?

Yeah, nine days ago.

Really?

We were all set for our
honeymoon and then...

this.

I haven't heard from her
since they called me in.

You got kids?

A daughter.

She's five.

No kid should ever have
to experience this.

Doesn't seem fair.

No, it doesn't.

What are they telling you?

We don't have any reception
where we are.

Nobody gets reception.

Not anymore.

Believe me, it's a mercy.

Why? What's happening?

You stay close to your
husband and daughter, Lynn.

Enjoy that as long as you can.

How do I talk to you?

How do I convey
what we need to say?

You have to be a machine,
but there are no keys,

no buttons.

We are breaking apart here.

And it's because of you.

If you aren't going to allow us
to do what we have to do,

why bother bringing us back?

This means community.

You taught me that.

Don't you value that?

Community.

Yes.

That-That woman is one of us.

We cannot abandon her.

Mercy.

It is Ezra's wife.

Have mercy on him!

And her.

Does-Does this mean...

You hear me?

Or are you...

just repeating what I say?

You all right?

No, she isn't.

She's a reject.

The Sparks don't get it right
every time, Lynn.

It doesn't happen often,
but it happens.

They build the brain wrong
or the vocal chords wrong.

And drones won't tell you
the hard truth of it,

so I will.

You're nothing to them.

Nothing to the Obelisk,
nothing to the Makers.

All they want is a tool.

And if that tool dies,
they won't bring it back again.

Even if it's your wife.

Even if you beg.

Even if her death
was their fault

because to them,
she's just a tool.

Used and discarded.

Let the girl go.

That girl is a nuisance.

The drones and the Sparks
don't show her mercy,

but this is how you do?

Don't lecture me
like you know me.

I did know you once.

I'll help you gather the Sparks
if you let her go.

I can catch you both anyway.

Not easily.

I like how you negotiate.

Go away, girl,
before I change my minds.

Take this.

Don't look back.

Go, go!

You just lost your
negotiating tool.

You lost the ability
to cut my feet.

Come peacefully...

and we'll leave the Sparks
for now.

Over here!

Sergeant! You two.

Over here!

Red Hawk, this is 21Alpha...

Hey.

Ezra!

Lynn?

I got what we needed.

The humans killed our brother

with one touch of their weapon.

We offer them a companion
to choose for them,

to remove from them the burden
of discipline and selfmastery,

guilt and shame.

We offer them guaranteed joy
and they give us this.

This brother will
not be forgotten.

His memories will
not be discarded.

His light will not
be diminished.

With this knife,
I remove his crystal.

Who will carry him
to the Ancestor?

Who will honor him?

Preserve him?

Add him to the past?

May your feet be swift
and your minds be clear.

Hello, Lynn.

I'm so glad you could come.

Whoa, you're-
You're going too fast.

II need to-
I need to write these down.

I can't learn that quickly.

I'm going to ask that
whatever harsh feelings

you have for me

be set aside for a moment.

I'm making progress
with the Obelisk.

I can write to them.

They're simple messages.

I can't articulate
what I want to say,

but with a little study,

I might be able to
ask them to let us out.

They don't have time
for more study, Abram.

If they infected Lynn,

the parasite takes root quickly.

There's something else.

I found this notebook
left by the settlers.

Crude paper.

They must've made it somehow.

Okay.

See all these notes?

All these pages?

Yeah.

This is my handwriting.

My shorthand.

That I created.

And...

I don't remember writing it.

What are you saying?

I'm saying I've been
here before, Ezra.

I was one of the settlers.
