Original subtitles

Yeah. I'm close.

Harriet.

Harriet.

Still working, then?

Reading strong.

Yeah, there's no way to be certain I'm getting a valid signal.

Well, whatever, eh?

You see, the moon is running across the Andromeda Cluster,

like I showed you last night. It should be a lot lower in the sky this time of year.

Our orbit could be askew.

Yes.

The satellite that feeds this tracker could be wrongly aligned. I mean,

it may not be working at all.

The planet could be slowly spiraling into the sun.

Beautiful, though, isn't it? Moon.

I'm saying we could miss Ark by three or four miles, and we never know.

I don't think I've ever seen a moon as beautiful as that.

I know you think I'm mad to hope that Jonathan's still alive.

No, I don't.

Come on.

Diary of Anita Nixon, aged 11. I've decided today's my birthday.

It's day 30-something.

To begin with, it was like a strange dream being with them.

But now the past seems like a dream.

Every day, Hild gets closer to the birth and more

and more frightened of what will happen to her.

They wait without saying a word.

Ready?

Go now!

Move!

Come on, are we moving or what?

I noticed yesterday. You're showing. Tell me to mind my own business, if you like.

Mind your own bloody business.

Tell them. They can put you in the car.

Look, I don't need sympathy. Not from you or anyone else. I'm fine.

Anyway, you're not the father. I don't need you behaving like you are.

Well, maybe it takes an apocalypse to make a new man out.

What's going on?

I've got a stone in me shoe!

Come on, Colin.

We're there! 11 miles!

There's been a camp here!

No, I mean, we're 11 miles from Galloway. It's so far to Ark.

Four-hour walk, you know, without the cart.

We did it.

Only took half a century. Not bad, eh?

Nick!

Nick!

Cut down there, haven't they?

The camp's dead, mate.

It could be anybody's.

We could follow them.

Oh, look, Leo, they could have gone in any direction.

There's no point in even trying.

They're the ones who have her.

We have to find her.

I promised.

I'll come wait.

Let her down.

I understand.

You understand?

No.

We're just 11 miles away. We don't need the cart or anything on it.

It'll only serve 10 minutes. After everything we've been through,

I can't believe you've just been that stupid.

The cart served one purpose. No surplus to requirements.

Come on, think. Just stop for a moment and think about it.

Think about it in terms of space travel.

Yeah, let's do that.

What a fun idea.

We've dumped the command module, and now we're in the landing pod.

We're streamlined for splashdown.

I'll buy that.

It's a symbolic gesture.

Oh, well, that's a relief.

I thought it was an act of total insanity, but

in actual fact, it's a symbolic gesture.

I knew my life was short on something.

Thanks, Harriet, you've helped me put my finger on it.

What I really need right now, when I'm freezing cold and starving hungry,

what I really need is a symbolic bleeding gesture!

We made it!

I told you we would.

It started. I'm scared.

This baby won't die, Hild.

She was pregnant before. The baby died.

We didn't get her there in time.

We're almost there. We're almost there.

Almost where?

That's Ark.

You sure?

You said this could be out of alignment.

It's not what I pictured.

Cooling towers for the filter systems.

Everything's safe on the ground. This is it.

The place is deserted.

No.

Now, they'd be fooled.

Beneath our feet lies a complex five times the size of the Millennium Dome.

It has everything we need.

I'm telling you, all the things we've talked about,

all the things of home that we miss, are down here under our feet.

Well, why haven't the people come up, then?

We slept for 50 years. Maybe they did. Yeah,

but could they still be frozen down there?

Let's get moving.

This place gives me the creeps.

This is the tower.

This must be it.

I'll find a way in.

Oh, no.

Oh, God, not again.

Come on, quick, let's get in the tower. Yeah, come on. Wait a minute.

What?

Hey, what?

I don't think we should go trapping ourselves inside

that thing until we know what's going on.

What? Let's get out of sight over here.

Did you see anything?

No.

Oh, no, sod this. Why don't you slip out of here just for one minute?

It's the bastards who stole my sister.

Shut up, you don't know that. Hey!

Listen, you wait here. I'll be back.

What?

Take this.

You might need it.

But if I get into any trouble, I'll improvise. Give you ten minutes.

If I'm not back, get inside that tower.

Yeah, but you will be back.

Of course.

Be safe.

How's ours?

What?

Come in with you. Don't like anybody else playing scout leader, do you?

Look, the only person I trust to look after me is me. Even now?

Ten minutes must be up now.

We'll give them a little longer.

Oh, my God! All right.

Come on, that's it.

Follow me!

Here we go!

I killed him. I hurt him. I hurt him! What the hell are you playing at?

They've got my sister. I know they have! Shh!

You're angry. We all know you're bloody angry, son.

But what good's getting yourself killed?

Is that going to help Anita? Not your son.

No, you're a man now.

You've lived a lifetime, I know that.

Go on, run! Get inside!

Inside the tower!

This is Harriet Ambrose.

Let us in.

Technician D-Level, operating tag 844.

4-4-3-K.

Swipe cards.

No security clearance.

We can't get in! I was based in Ashbourne.

I wasn't part of the facilitating team or the hibernating team.

I worked with Jonathan Geddes.

Well, I know him.

Jonathan, I found you! I'm as strong as you wanted me to be.

What else do you want me to do?

The spy card's not working, Ian.

What's happening? Ian, Ian, this is why we're not

working. All right, then, Jonathan, look in!

Go! Back! Go! Get up there!

What about me?

Muchas gracias, everybody, and adios! Get him! Get his car!

Get the car! Get his bunker! Please make it work.

Where's Mick? He's down there.

Go green.

What about the others?

I'll wait here for the liquor door to send for me.

You don't have to do that, Colin. I want to. Go!

Take this. Look, there's a lever here. It'll double up the doors.

They won't be able to get inside.

But it's deserted, I don't understand.

It's all automated.

So come on, Harriet, where are all these people?

Well, let's find them and make some sense of all this.

That's where they're frozen?

Let's throw them out. We could get rid of those primitive bastards.

How many are there?

Harriet?

Be back as soon as I can.

Harriet!

Ten minutes. And Geddes had better be happy to see you.

I'm sorry.

I tried.

There was just too many of them. I really tried. I really tried!

It's been locked from the inside. They've locked us out.

If we lose another, if it dies... We'll get them out.

We must hurry.

Maybe they need us to make up a bridge under.

Is she all right?

It's my brother and the others.

Tell me, are they here?

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Look, can we talk?

There's no need for this.

Yes, there is.

Okay.

So you can talk.

Great.

Look, look, I know you're unhappy about how things have worked out,

but all we ever wanted was to get inside this building, yeah?

That's all.

That's all.

We know what's getting at you.

You think we took your little girl, don't you? But that's not true. She'll tell you.

She found us.

She came to us, and we didn't know who she was, so we protected her.

I don't think I can take much more of this.

Relax, the military'll sort that lot out.

Oh, really?

Confident about that, are you?

In actual fact... you do seem quite relaxed, Colin.

Got something off your back, have you?

Eh?

What do you mean, Ro?

When you were guarding the door, what did you see?

I told you.

There were guns going off everywhere.

It was like the Alamo.

And then Mick went down.

You saw that?

I heard that.

I don't think I saw it.

I did what I could.

You did nothing.

Couldn't do any more, they were everywhere.

It's cos you were jealous.

Jealous.

What's this all about? Why risk your life for

him? Why put yourself forward? Why volunteer?

You've never done it in the past. Why now? Bro, you're upset. We all are.

This isn't the time. Did you want to get him out of the way?

Did you want to stamp the dirt down on his grave, Colin?

Or was it just a little bit more than that?

Hey, steady on.

Did you let him die?

You'd love that, wouldn't you?

Hey!

Does that confirm all those nice little doubts that

you've been cultivating about me since day one?

You've never given me a chance.

You've always thought of me as some sort of weirdo.

This is just perfect for you now.

Because now you can prove yourself to be right. That's enough, Colin.

If Nick's dead, it's nothing to do with me.

It's because he's the idiot that I always knew he was.

And women like you, you love to put yourself up on a pedestal, don't you?

But you always end up going off with a scraggy bit of rough.

The bloke who tosses you a duff line and leaves you in the lurch.

Move!

We got knowledge.

Stuff you people don't know about.

We can pass it on like it.

Hey!

Did you kill him?

That's right.

We can help each other. I mean, we're all human beings, aren't we,

just trying to get along?

Did you kill him?

We can help each other.

Well, let's work it out, yeah?

God, no.

Did you kill him?

Come on. I understand your troubles. Let's talk.

Letters in!

Jesus Christ. Oh, my God, they're alive!

Let's talk.

Speak to her.

Tell them how you feel.

I'm scared.

I'm very scared.

I'm terrified, OK? I don't know what else you want me to say.

Tell them to let us in. Tell them to let us in.

Austin, mate, don't die on me, okay?

What are they doing? They're going to help us. They're getting us up right now.

You're going to be okay.

We're going to be okay.

No, listen to them!

I'm going to go help Mick.

I'm gonna get help.

I'm gonna unfreeze Harriet's army.

So where are you?

Where are you?

Too late.

It's too late.

This must be wrong.

This is wrong.

No.

Where are you?

He's not dead! He's not dead!

Can you hear me? Can you hear me in there?

If you can, it's all good.

Don't let them force you out.

Don't you let them force you out!

We can move her soon.

What have you done to them? This place is ours.

It's where our children have to be born.

We've done what we've had to do.

I can see the house from up here.

Austin.

Austin!

Do you know what they're doing right now?

Emma, in the biggest rescue you've ever seen.

Austin, no!

No!

We can't leave them like that, please.

Austin! Oh, please.

You with us?

God, oh, Josh, were you around?

Come on! Come on! Lift up your head!

You know what Mo used to say at the end of the day?

She'd say...

I'm going home.

And I'd say I'll be up in a minute, love.

And that last day in the hospital... She was so tired.

She'd had enough.

When she was fighting to stay with me, so I held her hand. And I said, you go on.

50 years. You must be wondering where I am.

No, no.

I'm tired, Nick. It's time to go up. No, Austin.

Austin!

Don't leave me.

Tell him you're my own.

I knew... I knew you'd be here.

I finally found you. I don't know what to say.

Harry.

I'm here.

Lots of ghosts today.

I'm not the ghost.

I'm here.

You see, my conceit was believed.

Will to survive.

Forgot.

Like a child on a terrible journey.

But I did.

I found you, like I said I would.

You don't have to hide down here anymore.

Away.

Yeah, children.

Children who never want what you want.

You can't lock yourself away down here.

You're dreaming of a civilization that can't exist.

Go away.

I'm a religious person, you know.

There's rage coming from a man on a cross.

I believe in Rome. Rome.

I believe I'll hold her again and kiss her face and feel her warm.

Ah!

She'll kiss all the bruises away from me.

She'll do that.

Kiss me under the Moorish wall.

And I thought well as well him as another.

And then I asked him with my eyes to ask again, yes.

Don't leave me here on my own.

And then he asked me, would I, yes.

Don't leave me.

To say yes, my mountain flower.

Steve!

I'm not a big man, really.

At first, I put my arms around him, yes. I'm Michael Smith. Yes,

and his heart was going like mad. I'm Michael Smith.

And I'm shit scared.

And yes, I said yes.

I will, yes.

Bastards!

Don't shoot! She's got a baby! Don't shoot!

Don't shoot! She's got a baby!

She's got a baby.

It's all right, they won't hurt you now.

They'll have to get to the Ark.

Or Hill's baby will die.

But why do this?

Why this?

We had to.

This child can't die.

It's more important than all of us.

No.

You put them up there. Now you get them down.

Take her in.

Get help!

Help me! Get her in!

Finally, I did something for him.

You did what you had to do.

Now we can all move on.

Oh, I was an idiot.

Pleading you of him.

No, you were the strongest.

You never wavered for a single moment. You were always true, true as an arrow,

Harriet. You gave us hope.

You were the only one who could.

Where would we have gone if it hadn't been for you?

We would have wandered aimlessly, directionless, without a future.

We all pulled together, but you pulled us through.

Anita!

Anita!

Anita!

How could you do this? Found her!

We found her!

Anita! She's safe!

She's all right! She's withheld!

Mick?

Lost him?

People who were frozen here.

They left 40 years ago.

These are their children.

Children of Ark.

People we've been looking for.

The people we've been running from.

The diary of Anita Nixon.

The people we've been running from are the people we've been looking for.

We were born in a train carriage.

They were born in Ark.

Then no-one was born at all.

Until now.
