The Ark (2023) s01e03 Episode Script
Get Out and Push
We need to get the engines
back up to near light speed
or we won't reach Prox B.
Plus, there's a murderer onboard,
and we still have no idea what hit us.
Do you even know who she is? She
didn't train with the rest of us.
So happy to meet you, gentlemen.
Susan, do you know anything about this?
All I know is she was assigned
here last-minute by someone high up.
What are you doing here?
I was just checking the entrance logs
to see who came in here
last, but they've been wiped.
I wonder who could've done that.
Eva Markovic, Lieutenant Lane,
Lieutenant Brice, and me.
I want you to only think of
the good times with Harris.
Think you can do that?
I'm officially naming you
head of shipwide mental health.
You don't think this
is the murder weapon.
There's some kind of crystal
thing wedged in there.
They look like diamonds. Lane,
the glove's fingers are nearly off!
When you said you'd shut
down the coolant system,
did you mean the engine coolant system?
I bought us one, maybe
two days of drinking water.
So you chose more days of life.
Attention all hands.
This is Lieutenant Garnet.
As you may be aware, for the last hour,
our engines have been offline.
Due to
technical difficulties in reclamation,
we've lost a large percentage
of our water supply.
To that end, we've shut down our engines
and redirected its coolant
water to life support.
I won't lie to you,
we're in a tight spot.
We have only four days of water left.
In an effort to stretch supplies,
effective immediately,
we're cutting water rations in half.
I hate to ask you to make
yet another sacrifice,
but we have no other choice.
I will keep you updated of
all further developments.
I have no doubt in the
ingenuity and resilience
of this amazing crew to see us
through the current crisis. Garnet out.
Bad move.
You think people were rioting
and going crazy before.
You just triggered a tsunami.
- We should've kept that to ourselves.
- Everybody has a right to know.
I'm pretty sure that's not
how the chain of command works.
We're a colony ship, not military.
We became a military vessel
when we came out of cryo early,
lost half of our crew, and were
forced to make the hard decisions
most of these people aren't trained for.
You can't treat
scientists and technicians
like they're soldiers.
We're in a war for survival.
Everyone onboard has been drafted.
So, if I'm Chief of Life Support,
that makes me an officer, right?
Our job is to protect
everyone on this crew,
both physically and psychologically.
We can't just make announcements
that are gonna panic everyone.
I have faith in people's resolve.
That faith is gonna bite us
in the ass if you don't
So the plan is for you two just
to argue until we die of thirst?
Fine, where are we with the engines?
The NEPS cannot run
without water as coolant.
The Nuclear Electric Propulsion system's
a genius design by William Trust.
He just never accounted
for, you know, any of this.
Can we deploy the solar sails?
Wouldn't work. We need
to be closer to a star.
So we divert power back to the NEPS.
- No.
- No?
I'm pretty sure you meant,
"Let's talk through our options."
- It's a waste of resources.
- We need to go search for water.
Where? Brice, were you able
to find any planetary systems
our hobbled engines
could get us to in time?
Not charting any, no.
Mm.
- Oh, shit.
- What?
Do you remember 30 seconds ago
when water was our biggest problem?
- What now?
- The long-range sensors just alerted.
Our drift has taken us
right into a collision course
- with an asteroid.
- Get those engines going now.
That's what I've been saying.
Start-up takes 12 hours.
10 if I cut corners.
I need to refill the chambers
Look, you're wasting time explaining.
We're gonna need those engines fast.
How fast?
Impact's in six hours.
Great. We just went from
having four days to live
to six hours.
Shit.
I've run it half a dozen
times, and at its current speed,
the impact will be like
hurling a boulder at an ant.
Got a minute, Lieutenant Lane?
We still haven't
finished our conversation.
Seriously?
The murder investigation.
Yeah, look, don't touch me.
How did you know the murder weapon
was found in the water system?
Everybody knows. Plant boy
can't keep his mouth shut.
And where were you at 1600
shift time the day of the murder?
Really, you're doing this
now? We're in crisis mode.
We're limping through
space on a broken ship.
We'll always be in crisis mode.
The fact is, there's been a murder.
That asteroid is about
to murder everyone,
so help or get out.
Felix, Lane is right.
This is all hands on deck.
I know you want to do
something, but this isn't it.
- What was that?
- What?
I don't need you to fight my battles.
Oh, my God.
Oh.
Nathan, add extra surge protection.
Novak, check the radiation seals.
How can I help? Anything you need.
I know the NEPS aren't my
specialty, but I'm a quick study.
If it helps, I found a way to get
two extra gallons of
water from life support.
I know it's not much, you
could pump it into the
Alicia, I appreciate
that you want to help,
but unless you know how
to jumpstart the NEPS,
I need you to get out of the way.
- The insulation is in.
- Seals are solid.
There's one thing you can do. Pray.
Um, I haven't really sorted
out my feelings on spirituality.
I know that science doesn't
preclude the existence of God,
and the idea itself can
be emotionally comforting.
But at the same time, there
is little evidence to, um
They stole all my stimulants,
painkillers, and dissociatives.
Someone probably wants to numb
themselves to their impending death.
They're gonna do more than
that. Those meds are strong.
If whoever stole them takes too much,
they'll O.D. and die long
before anything else kills them.
The jumpstart didn't work.
What's our next move to get the NEPS up?
There isn't one. We're putting
out fires down here, literally!
How bad? It's another problem
that's about to kill us?
No, I'll have it under
control before we die.
The engines were our best shot
of getting clear of the asteroid.
- Our only shot.
- Come on, guys, think.
Neither of you have
another idea? Anything?
Well, you wanted to be in charge.
James? James.
- Lieutenant Brice.
- Oh, hey, Doc.
Listen, I'm just on my way to a
briefing. So unless this is urgent
Yeah, I pinged you three times.
Yeah, no, no, no. I saw, I saw.
But the hand's doing fine.
You know, it stings a bit.
But from what I hear, we're a little
short on painkillers anyway, so
We are, but that's not what this
Honestly, don't worry
about me. I can handle it.
Yeah, I need to see you in med bay.
I just told you I can handle the pain.
This isn't about your injury.
I need to run a physical on you.
Why?
Your medical file got corrupted somehow.
I'd like to give you an exam and
make sure your chart is up to date.
Come on, Doc. Look at
me. I'm fit as an ox.
I need specific numbers, lipid
panels, pulse ox, stuff like that.
So I still need to take measurements,
draw some blood, fill out your chart.
Why don't we just do it right now?
I'm not sure if you've heard,
but we might all be dying
in the next couple of hours.
Right. Then if we live,
I need you to report
to med bay first thing.
One crisis at a time, hey, Doc?
Hey. Looking all over for you.
I was kinda wondering if you have
the inside scoop from the bridge?
Lower decks are convinced
that we're gonna die.
That's the asteroid, and,
yeah, it's gonna kill us.
Hey, look, I know I
don't know you that well,
but it doesn't seem like
you to be so so defeated.
After everything we've been through,
the thing that's going
to end us is a giant rock
randomly hurtling through space.
Now I'll never see Prox B.
I'll never have kids.
Never fall in love.
Not that I might even want to have
kids on a strange planet anyway.
- Not that anyone would ever fall in love with me
- Hey, hey, hey.
What? Hi.
For what it's worth, if we'd have lived,
I could have seen myself
falling in love with you.
- You're making fun of me.
- No, wait. Are you kidding?
- You're amazing.
- Please don't.
No, no, I'm serious.
You're so cool and so smart.
I mean, you saved our lives.
When we were running out of oxygen,
you went from waste management
to Chief of Life Support
in less than a day.
You're the genius girl who
sees a problem and solves it,
so what I don't understand
is why are you giving up now?
Why aren't you solving
this problem, too?
I really don't know.
Maybe it's an unsolvable problem, but
I should still try to solve it.
- Okay, how can I help?
- What do you know about astrophysics?
Absolutely nothing.
Uh, you wanted to see
me, Lieutenant Garnet?
Yeah, join us. We could use all
the help we can get right now.
Sure.
My my pleasure.
Everything in space is in motion,
so even with the engines
dead, we're still drifting.
Wow, what are the odds that our drift
would put us in the
course of an asteroid?
Well, it's better than
you'd think, actually.
It's 1 in 700,326.
It came up on the computer.
Calculations have the point
of impact as our foresection.
Poetic justice. If we
don't figure this out,
bridge crew is first to die.
A whole tenth of a second
before the rest of the ship.
If I could've just gotten the NEPS up
for a few seconds, one second
What do you mean?
All we needed was one moment of thrust
to change our drift path
and move us out of the asteroid's way.
Too bad we can't get out and push.
What did you just say?
Get out and you know, like a car?
It was a stupid joke. Sorry.
Brice, you think you can do it?
Come on, I'd be insulted
if you asked anyone else.
- Eva?
- No problem.
I'll run the numbers for
the best point of contact.
- Objections?
- Only that I wish
we'd have thought of this two hours ago.
- Then let's do it.
- I feel like the conversation
went left and I went right.
You're a genius, Angus.
Thank you. What did I say?
Seriously, I don't know what I said.
I've wanted to take this
baby out since Earth.
Wish the circumstances
were a bit better, but
Oh!
Lieutenant Brice is
gonna use the shuttle
to literally get out and push
us onto a different course.
- I am a genius.
- You need a copilot?
Oh, come on. It's a milk run.
Right, let's get this thing done.
Firing up the pre-burn now.
What did you do?
Tried to start the preburn.
What the hell?
The console says I'm missing parts?
- Oh, no.
- Okay, what did you do?
Oh, well, there was so much happening
and I didn't think we'd need to
use the shuttle for a long time,
and, oh, it was just one little hose.
- You stole a hose?
- A fuel hose, for irrigation.
And you didn't think to
tell any of us until now?
You guys, it's also saying
that we're missing a
- Power coupler.
- Yeah.
Stein salvaged one for the NEPS.
He told me I didn't want
to know where he found it.
Look, these parts aren't plug-and-play.
It's gonna take a while to calibrate.
- Can you do it in time?
- I honestly don't know.
Draft whoever you need to help.
Have some of the techs grab
the parts and help Brice,
then get back here
ASAP. You, too, Angus.
- What are we going to do here?
- Figure out plan C.
A burst of thrust here
would get us out of the asteroid's path.
It's a simple maneuver. Brice can do it.
If he can fix the shuttle in time.
Until then, we have to come
up with an alternative plan.
That's the men's showers on the
other side of the hull, right?
- Yeah.
- What if we sealed off the room
and blew a hole in the outer hull?
The escaping air pressure
could give us thrust.
Or it could break us in half.
The detonation could
destroy hull integrity.
You asked for alternative plans.
We don't even carry explosives.
Actually, between human
waste and human remains,
I've collected a lot of fertilizer.
Fertilizer can be
turned into an explosive.
It could work. Over-pressurize the
room, keep the detonation small.
And the expulsion of pressurized oxygen
would give us a moment of thrust.
It's dangerous, but we
don't have a lot of choices.
You're right.
We're out of time and options.
Let's blow another hole in our ship.
Which one do you need?
What did you do?
Bring every hose in the bioshelter?
- Yeah.
- All right.
Uh, no, no, no, no.
Where are you? That's it.
All right, you are on.
You little beauty!
All right, power you up.
Oh, for God's sake. All right, you.
You're done. Let's go. Move, move.
Give me that. Thank you
very much. You're on a break.
Thank you. Have a good day.
Do you have any idea how
hard that was to find?
Actually, yeah. You
might have killed us.
Great.
Still no power.
Are you sure you're doing it right?
Are you asking me if I
know how to push a button?
Right, just move.
Move, move, move, move.
I'll do it myself.
All right, this is it. Here we go.
Here we go, right? Lucky
charm. Let's go now!
Oh, that is just shite. That is shite.
I mean, we've fixed everything
twice. There's nothing left to fix.
That has to be it now. That
actually has to be it now.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
You this time. You.
Lucky charm, lucky charm.
We're done. We're done!
Oh. Oh, very funny.
Very funny! Well done.
Good joke. Everybody's laughing.
A directed explosion is tricky.
I need to measure, factor
in blast trajectory, and
Oh, looks like we just
found Kabir's missing drugs.
This ends right the hell now!
Who the hell are you to give us orders?
Honestly, I've been asking
the same thing for days.
I didn't sign up for any of this,
but you keep ordering me around.
We're not astronauts
or officers or whatever.
- We are just passengers.
- Let me be clear.
You are crew on this ship
until we reach our destination,
and you will do as you're told.
Right now, your orders
are to clean up your mess
and get the hell out
of here, double-time.
Every damn one of you,
you've got three seconds
to move your asses before I send
you out of the goddamn airlock!
Three, two
- Comments?
- Oh, I approve of everything that just happened.
- Are you sure about this?
- Of course not.
We're about to blow a hole
in our ship with an IED.
It's ready!
- Oh, that reeks.
- Of course it does.
It's made of human waste and remains.
- Well, get it out of here.
- It's our bomb.
- Uh, looks a little small.
- It's a matter of ratio.
Compost to ammonia gasses
from our fallen comrades and
Yeah, I don't need to know the science,
I just need to know if it'll go boom.
Oh, it'll it'll go boom.
I just I don't know if
it will be too big a boom.
At this point, I don't care.
I'd rather die than
keep smelling this. Here.
- Okay.
- The seal is good.
Okay, I just want to stress
I ran all the measurements three times,
but I've never done this before.
Yeah, no one's ever done any of
this before, but you're smart.
- It'll work.
- You gonna make an announcement?
It's like you said, better
to not freak everyone out.
- Here.
- It was your idea. You do it.
You ready?
How much fertilizer did you use?
Well, in my defense,
the fact that we're still
breathing's a good sign.
Running a ship-wide diagnostic.
Hull integrity solid.
But did we move enough?
Because that was our last shot
and the asteroid's almost here.
- 586.
- 585.7268.
- I was afraid to round.
- You're just saying numbers out of context.
- Come on
- We ran the calculations separately to be sure.
It's not exactly my field of
expertise, but I do love math.
- Just tell us, are we out of harm's way?
- Yes, it worked. Barely.
- The asteroid will miss us by 586 meters.
- Yes!
- Closer than I'd like, but
- It doesn't matter.
It was a good idea well-executed.
Guys! Guys, guys, guys.
Fixed the shuttle, so
I can move the ark now.
What?
I'm missing something.
We're getting more accurate sensor data
the closer the asteroid gets, and
Attention, all hands,
this is Lieutenant Garnet.
We are clear of the asteroid.
I repeat, we are out of
the path of the asteroid.
Thank God!
Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I just, um
That that's okay.
Can I admit something to you?
I was ready to shit my
pants that whole time,
but, um, focusing on what you were doing
was probably the only thing
keeping me from passing out.
I'm glad I could help. Come
on, let's go watch it pass.
- Oh, my God.
- What?
- I'm such an idiot.
- Why?
Look. What do you see?
What, the asteroid?
The asteroid, which has a tail.
Like a dog has a tail?
Like an expulsion of gas
and dust created by
Never mind. I have to
go and tell everyone.
You said that we were
gonna be hit by an asteroid.
Yeah, and now we're not.
But it's not an asteroid.
Yeah, well, asteroid, giant space rock,
rogue moon, it's not gonna hit us.
It's none of those things
because it has a tail.
- Comets have tails.
- Yes.
Uh, okay, so it's a comet?
Why does that matter now?
Because comets are made of ice.
And ice means water. Don't you see?
If we can mine it, our
water problems are solved.
That's great.
How the hell do we mine a moving comet?
We've got the drilling
equipment to get to Prox B.
We just can't get it to the
comet, not with the NEPs down.
Once the comet passes,
the opportunity is gone.
I have an idea. We have miles
of ship-to-ship refueling hose.
We can use the hose to tether
the ark to the comet as it passes.
Once connected, we can drill
for all the water we need.
But compared to the speed of the comet,
it's almost like we're standing still.
Couldn't tethering rip us apart?
The hose is high tensile
to account for ship-to-ship drift.
But you're right, it wasn't
designed for this amount of stress.
If we got the ark moving to match
the comet's relative speed
That would take the strain
off the tether, but
- No engines.
- Exactly.
So we're back to the same
problem we started with.
Not true.
We may not have the NEPS, but, uh,
we do have an engine.
I was looking over your shuttle repairs.
Not bad for a few hours' work, eh?
I wouldn't know, you
didn't file a work log.
Yeah, well, we were on
a bit of a time crunch,
but I promise you I will fill
out all the relevant paperwork
if we, you know, live.
- Did you recalibrate the power coupler?
- Yes.
And the fuel hose,
did you use a sealant?
Silicon-based so it
wouldn't corrode? Yes.
Novak said you replaced
the engine manifold.
Oh, Eva, so help me,
if you're about to ask
if I installed a new heatsink
- Well, did you?
- Of course.
Come on, Eva, it's fixed.
Do you not trust me?
You're a navigator, not an engineer.
Yeah, but I used your techs to help me.
Hang on. Are you a little
bit worried about me?
I'm worried about all of us.
If this doesn't work, we're all dead.
Well, then, you'd better let me get
out there and save all our lives.
I'm surprised they don't need
you on the bridge for this.
Don't they need you for,
like, life support things?
Too many cooks in the kitchen,
so I thought I'd come and watch.
I was hoping you'd still be here.
Ah. This is yours.
Hey, Alicia!
Word is we have you to
thank for identifying
the comet as a comet.
I wouldn't have seen it if
Baylor hadn't encouraged me.
- Oh, then thank you, too.
- No, don't thank me.
I'm pretty sure this
tethering thing will kill us.
Why? The plan's genius.
Won't attaching to the comet
be like sticking his hand
out to grab a speeding train?
Not at all.
- The asteroid is
- Oh. Comet.
Yeah, it's it's moving so
fast, and we're dead in the water.
Lieutenant Brice is using the
shuttle like a booster rocket
to accelerate the ark up
to the comet's velocity.
Okay, but how can something
so small get us moving so fast?
We're in space. There's no
gravity, no friction or resistance.
Size doesn't matter. Just force.
- Okay, so how much force can the shuttle generate?
- A lot.
It was designed to ferry people
between Ark One and Proxima B,
so its engines are strong enough
to break free of a planet's gravity.
Uh, okay, even if it gets
us moving the same speed
- as the comet, won't it
- When two objects are moving
at the same speed in the same direction,
it's like they're standing
still relative to each other
as far as the laws of
physics are concerned.
To use your example, it'll
be like sticking our hand out
from a second train going the same speed
and the same direction, relatively.
Okay. Yeah.
Hey, you're really good
at explaining this stuff.
What I want to know is why is
Lieutenant Brice flying the shuttle?
I thought he was a navigator.
- You don't know about Brice?
- What about him?
Come on, he's like a
legend in the GSA. No?
Okay, he started off in Cent-Com, right,
when he was a plebe just like me.
And he became a GSA pilot
faster than anyone ever has.
They say he became the best in
the force in less than a year,
which is some kind of record.
Oh.
So why'd he become a navigator then?
Well, they transferred
him for some reason.
- I'm not sure why.
- I hope it wasn't because he can't pilot any more.
Still wish you'd have let
one of us go with you, Brice.
There's no reason to risk
more lives than we have to.
And, besides, pal, you
would just be in my way.
Comet passes in 12 seconds.
Engines are green across the board.
Just waiting on your word.
All right.
Seven, six, five, four, three, two
- Go for burn. Go for burn.
- Let's go for a ride.
We're only half the
relative speed of the comet.
You have to increase
acceleration, Brice,
otherwise the comet will
just shoot straight past us.
Yeah, I'm working on it.
All right, that's as much as I can
push it without blowing the engines.
Copy, we're at 87% of the
comet's relative speed.
That should be enough to stop us
from ripping apart as we tether.
Should, right? Listen, if I die,
don't be putting me in that NOR, yeah?
I don't want none of you eating me.
The comet's about to
pass. It's now or never.
Well, here comes the fun part.
Detaching in three, two
Hurry it up, Brice. We're
about to lose the comet.
Brice, your stability readouts just
spiked. Is everything all right?
Yeah! Yeah, fine!
Just got a little kiss
from the comet's atmosphere.
Just a bit of space
turbulence, that's all.
I'm attached!
You cut that close.
The comet will outpace
us in three, two
- Brace!
- one.
Tether's secure!
Not for long, Brice.
When you detached from the ark,
we changed our direction
by half a degree.
Shit. I must've detached too quickly,
given you an accidental push.
It's created too much
stress on the tether.
I guess I should hurry,
huh? Deploying drill.
My readouts are telling me
I'm gonna be showering soon.
How's it look on your end?
Confirmed. Water is siphoning.
Brice, we've drifted too far off course.
It's too much strain on the tether.
It's going to tear you apart.
Brice, the tether is breaking
at its weakest link you.
I kinda figured as much when
I started to depressurize.
- What's the water situation?
- We're 92% capacity.
- That's good enough, detach.
- No, no, no, no.
Good enough is not good enough.
- 95!
- Detach!
- Get out of there!
- Guys, my EMU oxygen is five by five!
It won't matter if
the shuttle rips apart
from around you, Brice. Get out!
This is not up for debate!
We do not need 100%!
Get out of there, Brice!
Not until the job is done!
- 97!
- Come on.
She's gonna hold! Don't
you make a liar out of me.
98!
99!
- 100!
- Come on!
Water tanks are full!
- Whoo!
- Now, listen, I expect a nice cold glass
of comet water when I dock.
Great job, guys.
Well done, everyone.
I'm gonna get you for this, Brice.
Yes, all right, all right.
- Well done.
- Look, look, we kind of broke the shuttle.
I'll add it to the repair schedule.
Yeah, we didn't need 100%.
What, do you got some
kind of death wish?
I've been accused of that, yes.
Hmm. Don't do it again.
- Right, where is my water?
- Here.
Right now, that looks
better than champagne.
Mmm.
Now you've got me
thinking how long it's been
since I've had a real drink.
You know, maybe we can turn one
of the storage closets into a bar.
One problem. No booze.
Something tells me Angus
can brew something up.
Oh, um, where'd Eva go?
Ah, she's a workaholic. I deserve this.
What do you say we
inform the crew, Lane?
Are you asking my opinion?
I'm asking you to do the honors.
Attention, Ark One.
This is Lieutenant Spencer Lane.
We didn't just avert a crisis today,
we came together as a team.
For some reason, the
universe has decided
to make us all its punching bag.
But if we continue to stay united,
we will survive this,
and we will make it to our new home.
As of this moment, all water
restrictions have been lifted.
- Hi, ladies.
- Hey, this is the women's shower.
Well, you see, now it's the co-ed shower
because they, uh they
blew up the men's shower.
So
What fresh hell is this?
Oh, sweetheart.
Come with me. Come on.
Girls! Girls, would you
mind passing me a soap?
This was all we got back
from the doomsday party?
I'll sweep crew quarters, see
if anyone pocketed anything.
I hope find some, otherwise we're
about to have a med shortage.
- We need to install something more secure.
- Have at it.
Still haven't slept?
I'll deal with this tomorrow
so you can have some rest now.
Rest? Oh, there is no rest.
I have 52 post-hibernation
physicals to review.
Okay, I have a little
field training as a medic.
I cannot diagnose cancer,
but I can run a PICC line
or set a bone if you ever need help.
You, sir, do not know what
you just volunteered for.
Thank you.
Oh, God.
To be clear, I can't read minds.
So whenever you want to talk
I got trapped out in a
UV storm a few years back.
Everyone moved inland to get
away from the rising sea levels,
but the sun still got us.
I lost my sister in a UV storm.
I'd appreciate it if you
didn't tell anyone about this.
- Our little secret, okay?
- No problem.
And that goes both ways. Everything
you tell me is confidential.
I cried it all out. I'm better now.
Just
everyone was celebrating and I felt
It felt wrong to be happy, didn't it?
- You're here, Harold isn't.
- Harris.
It's what we call survivor's guilt.
You feel like you don't deserve joy,
especially not after
the way Harris died.
I was surprised to learn about you two.
We kept it a secret.
I never understood why
that rule even existed,
that couples couldn't
be in the same ark.
Something to do with genetic diversity.
- What?
- You know.
They didn't want people that
were related at the new colony
so they could maximize the number
of people that could make babies.
But Harris and I weren't
related. We were just in love.
Why couldn't we be on the same ship?
I don't know.
Maybe they wanted us working extra hard
with the promise that
loved ones would follow.
Or maybe they felt that
relationships would complicate things.
- That's stupid.
- You wanna know something funny?
I thought you were in a
relationship with Jasper, not Harris.
- Why would you think that?
- I saw you spit on his body.
I thought maybe you were
mad at him for dying.
Not a logical response,
but a common one between lovers.
That asshole is to
blame for Harris' death.
If he hadn't replaced the real Jasper,
- Harris would still be alive.
- I'm sorry. I didn't think.
Of course you'd hate him.
Hate is not a word big enough.
He deserved to have his throat slit.
Even without a brig, we can't let
the theft of meds go unpunished.
- I agree.
- We have to let them know
this type of behavior
will not be tolerated.
I'm assigning the thieves
shifts in the mess hall.
Whoa. If they can steal meds,
they'll probably steal food, too.
- How about latrine duty?
- Even better.
You were right, by the
way. People did freak out.
You'd be well within your
right to say "I told you so."
What, after the way you threw
that guy against the wall?
I honestly thought you were
gonna send him out the airlock.
You wouldn't have
really spaced him, right?
In future, I will take your
advice into consideration
before disseminating information.
- Lieutenant.
- Lieutenant.
Holy shit. I'm at Frank's Taproom.
You know, the hangout
for all the GSA officers.
This biker guy wouldn't
take no for an answer
from this woman and, um
Check it out.
back up to near light speed
or we won't reach Prox B.
Plus, there's a murderer onboard,
and we still have no idea what hit us.
Do you even know who she is? She
didn't train with the rest of us.
So happy to meet you, gentlemen.
Susan, do you know anything about this?
All I know is she was assigned
here last-minute by someone high up.
What are you doing here?
I was just checking the entrance logs
to see who came in here
last, but they've been wiped.
I wonder who could've done that.
Eva Markovic, Lieutenant Lane,
Lieutenant Brice, and me.
I want you to only think of
the good times with Harris.
Think you can do that?
I'm officially naming you
head of shipwide mental health.
You don't think this
is the murder weapon.
There's some kind of crystal
thing wedged in there.
They look like diamonds. Lane,
the glove's fingers are nearly off!
When you said you'd shut
down the coolant system,
did you mean the engine coolant system?
I bought us one, maybe
two days of drinking water.
So you chose more days of life.
Attention all hands.
This is Lieutenant Garnet.
As you may be aware, for the last hour,
our engines have been offline.
Due to
technical difficulties in reclamation,
we've lost a large percentage
of our water supply.
To that end, we've shut down our engines
and redirected its coolant
water to life support.
I won't lie to you,
we're in a tight spot.
We have only four days of water left.
In an effort to stretch supplies,
effective immediately,
we're cutting water rations in half.
I hate to ask you to make
yet another sacrifice,
but we have no other choice.
I will keep you updated of
all further developments.
I have no doubt in the
ingenuity and resilience
of this amazing crew to see us
through the current crisis. Garnet out.
Bad move.
You think people were rioting
and going crazy before.
You just triggered a tsunami.
- We should've kept that to ourselves.
- Everybody has a right to know.
I'm pretty sure that's not
how the chain of command works.
We're a colony ship, not military.
We became a military vessel
when we came out of cryo early,
lost half of our crew, and were
forced to make the hard decisions
most of these people aren't trained for.
You can't treat
scientists and technicians
like they're soldiers.
We're in a war for survival.
Everyone onboard has been drafted.
So, if I'm Chief of Life Support,
that makes me an officer, right?
Our job is to protect
everyone on this crew,
both physically and psychologically.
We can't just make announcements
that are gonna panic everyone.
I have faith in people's resolve.
That faith is gonna bite us
in the ass if you don't
So the plan is for you two just
to argue until we die of thirst?
Fine, where are we with the engines?
The NEPS cannot run
without water as coolant.
The Nuclear Electric Propulsion system's
a genius design by William Trust.
He just never accounted
for, you know, any of this.
Can we deploy the solar sails?
Wouldn't work. We need
to be closer to a star.
So we divert power back to the NEPS.
- No.
- No?
I'm pretty sure you meant,
"Let's talk through our options."
- It's a waste of resources.
- We need to go search for water.
Where? Brice, were you able
to find any planetary systems
our hobbled engines
could get us to in time?
Not charting any, no.
Mm.
- Oh, shit.
- What?
Do you remember 30 seconds ago
when water was our biggest problem?
- What now?
- The long-range sensors just alerted.
Our drift has taken us
right into a collision course
- with an asteroid.
- Get those engines going now.
That's what I've been saying.
Start-up takes 12 hours.
10 if I cut corners.
I need to refill the chambers
Look, you're wasting time explaining.
We're gonna need those engines fast.
How fast?
Impact's in six hours.
Great. We just went from
having four days to live
to six hours.
Shit.
I've run it half a dozen
times, and at its current speed,
the impact will be like
hurling a boulder at an ant.
Got a minute, Lieutenant Lane?
We still haven't
finished our conversation.
Seriously?
The murder investigation.
Yeah, look, don't touch me.
How did you know the murder weapon
was found in the water system?
Everybody knows. Plant boy
can't keep his mouth shut.
And where were you at 1600
shift time the day of the murder?
Really, you're doing this
now? We're in crisis mode.
We're limping through
space on a broken ship.
We'll always be in crisis mode.
The fact is, there's been a murder.
That asteroid is about
to murder everyone,
so help or get out.
Felix, Lane is right.
This is all hands on deck.
I know you want to do
something, but this isn't it.
- What was that?
- What?
I don't need you to fight my battles.
Oh, my God.
Oh.
Nathan, add extra surge protection.
Novak, check the radiation seals.
How can I help? Anything you need.
I know the NEPS aren't my
specialty, but I'm a quick study.
If it helps, I found a way to get
two extra gallons of
water from life support.
I know it's not much, you
could pump it into the
Alicia, I appreciate
that you want to help,
but unless you know how
to jumpstart the NEPS,
I need you to get out of the way.
- The insulation is in.
- Seals are solid.
There's one thing you can do. Pray.
Um, I haven't really sorted
out my feelings on spirituality.
I know that science doesn't
preclude the existence of God,
and the idea itself can
be emotionally comforting.
But at the same time, there
is little evidence to, um
They stole all my stimulants,
painkillers, and dissociatives.
Someone probably wants to numb
themselves to their impending death.
They're gonna do more than
that. Those meds are strong.
If whoever stole them takes too much,
they'll O.D. and die long
before anything else kills them.
The jumpstart didn't work.
What's our next move to get the NEPS up?
There isn't one. We're putting
out fires down here, literally!
How bad? It's another problem
that's about to kill us?
No, I'll have it under
control before we die.
The engines were our best shot
of getting clear of the asteroid.
- Our only shot.
- Come on, guys, think.
Neither of you have
another idea? Anything?
Well, you wanted to be in charge.
James? James.
- Lieutenant Brice.
- Oh, hey, Doc.
Listen, I'm just on my way to a
briefing. So unless this is urgent
Yeah, I pinged you three times.
Yeah, no, no, no. I saw, I saw.
But the hand's doing fine.
You know, it stings a bit.
But from what I hear, we're a little
short on painkillers anyway, so
We are, but that's not what this
Honestly, don't worry
about me. I can handle it.
Yeah, I need to see you in med bay.
I just told you I can handle the pain.
This isn't about your injury.
I need to run a physical on you.
Why?
Your medical file got corrupted somehow.
I'd like to give you an exam and
make sure your chart is up to date.
Come on, Doc. Look at
me. I'm fit as an ox.
I need specific numbers, lipid
panels, pulse ox, stuff like that.
So I still need to take measurements,
draw some blood, fill out your chart.
Why don't we just do it right now?
I'm not sure if you've heard,
but we might all be dying
in the next couple of hours.
Right. Then if we live,
I need you to report
to med bay first thing.
One crisis at a time, hey, Doc?
Hey. Looking all over for you.
I was kinda wondering if you have
the inside scoop from the bridge?
Lower decks are convinced
that we're gonna die.
That's the asteroid, and,
yeah, it's gonna kill us.
Hey, look, I know I
don't know you that well,
but it doesn't seem like
you to be so so defeated.
After everything we've been through,
the thing that's going
to end us is a giant rock
randomly hurtling through space.
Now I'll never see Prox B.
I'll never have kids.
Never fall in love.
Not that I might even want to have
kids on a strange planet anyway.
- Not that anyone would ever fall in love with me
- Hey, hey, hey.
What? Hi.
For what it's worth, if we'd have lived,
I could have seen myself
falling in love with you.
- You're making fun of me.
- No, wait. Are you kidding?
- You're amazing.
- Please don't.
No, no, I'm serious.
You're so cool and so smart.
I mean, you saved our lives.
When we were running out of oxygen,
you went from waste management
to Chief of Life Support
in less than a day.
You're the genius girl who
sees a problem and solves it,
so what I don't understand
is why are you giving up now?
Why aren't you solving
this problem, too?
I really don't know.
Maybe it's an unsolvable problem, but
I should still try to solve it.
- Okay, how can I help?
- What do you know about astrophysics?
Absolutely nothing.
Uh, you wanted to see
me, Lieutenant Garnet?
Yeah, join us. We could use all
the help we can get right now.
Sure.
My my pleasure.
Everything in space is in motion,
so even with the engines
dead, we're still drifting.
Wow, what are the odds that our drift
would put us in the
course of an asteroid?
Well, it's better than
you'd think, actually.
It's 1 in 700,326.
It came up on the computer.
Calculations have the point
of impact as our foresection.
Poetic justice. If we
don't figure this out,
bridge crew is first to die.
A whole tenth of a second
before the rest of the ship.
If I could've just gotten the NEPS up
for a few seconds, one second
What do you mean?
All we needed was one moment of thrust
to change our drift path
and move us out of the asteroid's way.
Too bad we can't get out and push.
What did you just say?
Get out and you know, like a car?
It was a stupid joke. Sorry.
Brice, you think you can do it?
Come on, I'd be insulted
if you asked anyone else.
- Eva?
- No problem.
I'll run the numbers for
the best point of contact.
- Objections?
- Only that I wish
we'd have thought of this two hours ago.
- Then let's do it.
- I feel like the conversation
went left and I went right.
You're a genius, Angus.
Thank you. What did I say?
Seriously, I don't know what I said.
I've wanted to take this
baby out since Earth.
Wish the circumstances
were a bit better, but
Oh!
Lieutenant Brice is
gonna use the shuttle
to literally get out and push
us onto a different course.
- I am a genius.
- You need a copilot?
Oh, come on. It's a milk run.
Right, let's get this thing done.
Firing up the pre-burn now.
What did you do?
Tried to start the preburn.
What the hell?
The console says I'm missing parts?
- Oh, no.
- Okay, what did you do?
Oh, well, there was so much happening
and I didn't think we'd need to
use the shuttle for a long time,
and, oh, it was just one little hose.
- You stole a hose?
- A fuel hose, for irrigation.
And you didn't think to
tell any of us until now?
You guys, it's also saying
that we're missing a
- Power coupler.
- Yeah.
Stein salvaged one for the NEPS.
He told me I didn't want
to know where he found it.
Look, these parts aren't plug-and-play.
It's gonna take a while to calibrate.
- Can you do it in time?
- I honestly don't know.
Draft whoever you need to help.
Have some of the techs grab
the parts and help Brice,
then get back here
ASAP. You, too, Angus.
- What are we going to do here?
- Figure out plan C.
A burst of thrust here
would get us out of the asteroid's path.
It's a simple maneuver. Brice can do it.
If he can fix the shuttle in time.
Until then, we have to come
up with an alternative plan.
That's the men's showers on the
other side of the hull, right?
- Yeah.
- What if we sealed off the room
and blew a hole in the outer hull?
The escaping air pressure
could give us thrust.
Or it could break us in half.
The detonation could
destroy hull integrity.
You asked for alternative plans.
We don't even carry explosives.
Actually, between human
waste and human remains,
I've collected a lot of fertilizer.
Fertilizer can be
turned into an explosive.
It could work. Over-pressurize the
room, keep the detonation small.
And the expulsion of pressurized oxygen
would give us a moment of thrust.
It's dangerous, but we
don't have a lot of choices.
You're right.
We're out of time and options.
Let's blow another hole in our ship.
Which one do you need?
What did you do?
Bring every hose in the bioshelter?
- Yeah.
- All right.
Uh, no, no, no, no.
Where are you? That's it.
All right, you are on.
You little beauty!
All right, power you up.
Oh, for God's sake. All right, you.
You're done. Let's go. Move, move.
Give me that. Thank you
very much. You're on a break.
Thank you. Have a good day.
Do you have any idea how
hard that was to find?
Actually, yeah. You
might have killed us.
Great.
Still no power.
Are you sure you're doing it right?
Are you asking me if I
know how to push a button?
Right, just move.
Move, move, move, move.
I'll do it myself.
All right, this is it. Here we go.
Here we go, right? Lucky
charm. Let's go now!
Oh, that is just shite. That is shite.
I mean, we've fixed everything
twice. There's nothing left to fix.
That has to be it now. That
actually has to be it now.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
You this time. You.
Lucky charm, lucky charm.
We're done. We're done!
Oh. Oh, very funny.
Very funny! Well done.
Good joke. Everybody's laughing.
A directed explosion is tricky.
I need to measure, factor
in blast trajectory, and
Oh, looks like we just
found Kabir's missing drugs.
This ends right the hell now!
Who the hell are you to give us orders?
Honestly, I've been asking
the same thing for days.
I didn't sign up for any of this,
but you keep ordering me around.
We're not astronauts
or officers or whatever.
- We are just passengers.
- Let me be clear.
You are crew on this ship
until we reach our destination,
and you will do as you're told.
Right now, your orders
are to clean up your mess
and get the hell out
of here, double-time.
Every damn one of you,
you've got three seconds
to move your asses before I send
you out of the goddamn airlock!
Three, two
- Comments?
- Oh, I approve of everything that just happened.
- Are you sure about this?
- Of course not.
We're about to blow a hole
in our ship with an IED.
It's ready!
- Oh, that reeks.
- Of course it does.
It's made of human waste and remains.
- Well, get it out of here.
- It's our bomb.
- Uh, looks a little small.
- It's a matter of ratio.
Compost to ammonia gasses
from our fallen comrades and
Yeah, I don't need to know the science,
I just need to know if it'll go boom.
Oh, it'll it'll go boom.
I just I don't know if
it will be too big a boom.
At this point, I don't care.
I'd rather die than
keep smelling this. Here.
- Okay.
- The seal is good.
Okay, I just want to stress
I ran all the measurements three times,
but I've never done this before.
Yeah, no one's ever done any of
this before, but you're smart.
- It'll work.
- You gonna make an announcement?
It's like you said, better
to not freak everyone out.
- Here.
- It was your idea. You do it.
You ready?
How much fertilizer did you use?
Well, in my defense,
the fact that we're still
breathing's a good sign.
Running a ship-wide diagnostic.
Hull integrity solid.
But did we move enough?
Because that was our last shot
and the asteroid's almost here.
- 586.
- 585.7268.
- I was afraid to round.
- You're just saying numbers out of context.
- Come on
- We ran the calculations separately to be sure.
It's not exactly my field of
expertise, but I do love math.
- Just tell us, are we out of harm's way?
- Yes, it worked. Barely.
- The asteroid will miss us by 586 meters.
- Yes!
- Closer than I'd like, but
- It doesn't matter.
It was a good idea well-executed.
Guys! Guys, guys, guys.
Fixed the shuttle, so
I can move the ark now.
What?
I'm missing something.
We're getting more accurate sensor data
the closer the asteroid gets, and
Attention, all hands,
this is Lieutenant Garnet.
We are clear of the asteroid.
I repeat, we are out of
the path of the asteroid.
Thank God!
Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I just, um
That that's okay.
Can I admit something to you?
I was ready to shit my
pants that whole time,
but, um, focusing on what you were doing
was probably the only thing
keeping me from passing out.
I'm glad I could help. Come
on, let's go watch it pass.
- Oh, my God.
- What?
- I'm such an idiot.
- Why?
Look. What do you see?
What, the asteroid?
The asteroid, which has a tail.
Like a dog has a tail?
Like an expulsion of gas
and dust created by
Never mind. I have to
go and tell everyone.
You said that we were
gonna be hit by an asteroid.
Yeah, and now we're not.
But it's not an asteroid.
Yeah, well, asteroid, giant space rock,
rogue moon, it's not gonna hit us.
It's none of those things
because it has a tail.
- Comets have tails.
- Yes.
Uh, okay, so it's a comet?
Why does that matter now?
Because comets are made of ice.
And ice means water. Don't you see?
If we can mine it, our
water problems are solved.
That's great.
How the hell do we mine a moving comet?
We've got the drilling
equipment to get to Prox B.
We just can't get it to the
comet, not with the NEPs down.
Once the comet passes,
the opportunity is gone.
I have an idea. We have miles
of ship-to-ship refueling hose.
We can use the hose to tether
the ark to the comet as it passes.
Once connected, we can drill
for all the water we need.
But compared to the speed of the comet,
it's almost like we're standing still.
Couldn't tethering rip us apart?
The hose is high tensile
to account for ship-to-ship drift.
But you're right, it wasn't
designed for this amount of stress.
If we got the ark moving to match
the comet's relative speed
That would take the strain
off the tether, but
- No engines.
- Exactly.
So we're back to the same
problem we started with.
Not true.
We may not have the NEPS, but, uh,
we do have an engine.
I was looking over your shuttle repairs.
Not bad for a few hours' work, eh?
I wouldn't know, you
didn't file a work log.
Yeah, well, we were on
a bit of a time crunch,
but I promise you I will fill
out all the relevant paperwork
if we, you know, live.
- Did you recalibrate the power coupler?
- Yes.
And the fuel hose,
did you use a sealant?
Silicon-based so it
wouldn't corrode? Yes.
Novak said you replaced
the engine manifold.
Oh, Eva, so help me,
if you're about to ask
if I installed a new heatsink
- Well, did you?
- Of course.
Come on, Eva, it's fixed.
Do you not trust me?
You're a navigator, not an engineer.
Yeah, but I used your techs to help me.
Hang on. Are you a little
bit worried about me?
I'm worried about all of us.
If this doesn't work, we're all dead.
Well, then, you'd better let me get
out there and save all our lives.
I'm surprised they don't need
you on the bridge for this.
Don't they need you for,
like, life support things?
Too many cooks in the kitchen,
so I thought I'd come and watch.
I was hoping you'd still be here.
Ah. This is yours.
Hey, Alicia!
Word is we have you to
thank for identifying
the comet as a comet.
I wouldn't have seen it if
Baylor hadn't encouraged me.
- Oh, then thank you, too.
- No, don't thank me.
I'm pretty sure this
tethering thing will kill us.
Why? The plan's genius.
Won't attaching to the comet
be like sticking his hand
out to grab a speeding train?
Not at all.
- The asteroid is
- Oh. Comet.
Yeah, it's it's moving so
fast, and we're dead in the water.
Lieutenant Brice is using the
shuttle like a booster rocket
to accelerate the ark up
to the comet's velocity.
Okay, but how can something
so small get us moving so fast?
We're in space. There's no
gravity, no friction or resistance.
Size doesn't matter. Just force.
- Okay, so how much force can the shuttle generate?
- A lot.
It was designed to ferry people
between Ark One and Proxima B,
so its engines are strong enough
to break free of a planet's gravity.
Uh, okay, even if it gets
us moving the same speed
- as the comet, won't it
- When two objects are moving
at the same speed in the same direction,
it's like they're standing
still relative to each other
as far as the laws of
physics are concerned.
To use your example, it'll
be like sticking our hand out
from a second train going the same speed
and the same direction, relatively.
Okay. Yeah.
Hey, you're really good
at explaining this stuff.
What I want to know is why is
Lieutenant Brice flying the shuttle?
I thought he was a navigator.
- You don't know about Brice?
- What about him?
Come on, he's like a
legend in the GSA. No?
Okay, he started off in Cent-Com, right,
when he was a plebe just like me.
And he became a GSA pilot
faster than anyone ever has.
They say he became the best in
the force in less than a year,
which is some kind of record.
Oh.
So why'd he become a navigator then?
Well, they transferred
him for some reason.
- I'm not sure why.
- I hope it wasn't because he can't pilot any more.
Still wish you'd have let
one of us go with you, Brice.
There's no reason to risk
more lives than we have to.
And, besides, pal, you
would just be in my way.
Comet passes in 12 seconds.
Engines are green across the board.
Just waiting on your word.
All right.
Seven, six, five, four, three, two
- Go for burn. Go for burn.
- Let's go for a ride.
We're only half the
relative speed of the comet.
You have to increase
acceleration, Brice,
otherwise the comet will
just shoot straight past us.
Yeah, I'm working on it.
All right, that's as much as I can
push it without blowing the engines.
Copy, we're at 87% of the
comet's relative speed.
That should be enough to stop us
from ripping apart as we tether.
Should, right? Listen, if I die,
don't be putting me in that NOR, yeah?
I don't want none of you eating me.
The comet's about to
pass. It's now or never.
Well, here comes the fun part.
Detaching in three, two
Hurry it up, Brice. We're
about to lose the comet.
Brice, your stability readouts just
spiked. Is everything all right?
Yeah! Yeah, fine!
Just got a little kiss
from the comet's atmosphere.
Just a bit of space
turbulence, that's all.
I'm attached!
You cut that close.
The comet will outpace
us in three, two
- Brace!
- one.
Tether's secure!
Not for long, Brice.
When you detached from the ark,
we changed our direction
by half a degree.
Shit. I must've detached too quickly,
given you an accidental push.
It's created too much
stress on the tether.
I guess I should hurry,
huh? Deploying drill.
My readouts are telling me
I'm gonna be showering soon.
How's it look on your end?
Confirmed. Water is siphoning.
Brice, we've drifted too far off course.
It's too much strain on the tether.
It's going to tear you apart.
Brice, the tether is breaking
at its weakest link you.
I kinda figured as much when
I started to depressurize.
- What's the water situation?
- We're 92% capacity.
- That's good enough, detach.
- No, no, no, no.
Good enough is not good enough.
- 95!
- Detach!
- Get out of there!
- Guys, my EMU oxygen is five by five!
It won't matter if
the shuttle rips apart
from around you, Brice. Get out!
This is not up for debate!
We do not need 100%!
Get out of there, Brice!
Not until the job is done!
- 97!
- Come on.
She's gonna hold! Don't
you make a liar out of me.
98!
99!
- 100!
- Come on!
Water tanks are full!
- Whoo!
- Now, listen, I expect a nice cold glass
of comet water when I dock.
Great job, guys.
Well done, everyone.
I'm gonna get you for this, Brice.
Yes, all right, all right.
- Well done.
- Look, look, we kind of broke the shuttle.
I'll add it to the repair schedule.
Yeah, we didn't need 100%.
What, do you got some
kind of death wish?
I've been accused of that, yes.
Hmm. Don't do it again.
- Right, where is my water?
- Here.
Right now, that looks
better than champagne.
Mmm.
Now you've got me
thinking how long it's been
since I've had a real drink.
You know, maybe we can turn one
of the storage closets into a bar.
One problem. No booze.
Something tells me Angus
can brew something up.
Oh, um, where'd Eva go?
Ah, she's a workaholic. I deserve this.
What do you say we
inform the crew, Lane?
Are you asking my opinion?
I'm asking you to do the honors.
Attention, Ark One.
This is Lieutenant Spencer Lane.
We didn't just avert a crisis today,
we came together as a team.
For some reason, the
universe has decided
to make us all its punching bag.
But if we continue to stay united,
we will survive this,
and we will make it to our new home.
As of this moment, all water
restrictions have been lifted.
- Hi, ladies.
- Hey, this is the women's shower.
Well, you see, now it's the co-ed shower
because they, uh they
blew up the men's shower.
So
What fresh hell is this?
Oh, sweetheart.
Come with me. Come on.
Girls! Girls, would you
mind passing me a soap?
This was all we got back
from the doomsday party?
I'll sweep crew quarters, see
if anyone pocketed anything.
I hope find some, otherwise we're
about to have a med shortage.
- We need to install something more secure.
- Have at it.
Still haven't slept?
I'll deal with this tomorrow
so you can have some rest now.
Rest? Oh, there is no rest.
I have 52 post-hibernation
physicals to review.
Okay, I have a little
field training as a medic.
I cannot diagnose cancer,
but I can run a PICC line
or set a bone if you ever need help.
You, sir, do not know what
you just volunteered for.
Thank you.
Oh, God.
To be clear, I can't read minds.
So whenever you want to talk
I got trapped out in a
UV storm a few years back.
Everyone moved inland to get
away from the rising sea levels,
but the sun still got us.
I lost my sister in a UV storm.
I'd appreciate it if you
didn't tell anyone about this.
- Our little secret, okay?
- No problem.
And that goes both ways. Everything
you tell me is confidential.
I cried it all out. I'm better now.
Just
everyone was celebrating and I felt
It felt wrong to be happy, didn't it?
- You're here, Harold isn't.
- Harris.
It's what we call survivor's guilt.
You feel like you don't deserve joy,
especially not after
the way Harris died.
I was surprised to learn about you two.
We kept it a secret.
I never understood why
that rule even existed,
that couples couldn't
be in the same ark.
Something to do with genetic diversity.
- What?
- You know.
They didn't want people that
were related at the new colony
so they could maximize the number
of people that could make babies.
But Harris and I weren't
related. We were just in love.
Why couldn't we be on the same ship?
I don't know.
Maybe they wanted us working extra hard
with the promise that
loved ones would follow.
Or maybe they felt that
relationships would complicate things.
- That's stupid.
- You wanna know something funny?
I thought you were in a
relationship with Jasper, not Harris.
- Why would you think that?
- I saw you spit on his body.
I thought maybe you were
mad at him for dying.
Not a logical response,
but a common one between lovers.
That asshole is to
blame for Harris' death.
If he hadn't replaced the real Jasper,
- Harris would still be alive.
- I'm sorry. I didn't think.
Of course you'd hate him.
Hate is not a word big enough.
He deserved to have his throat slit.
Even without a brig, we can't let
the theft of meds go unpunished.
- I agree.
- We have to let them know
this type of behavior
will not be tolerated.
I'm assigning the thieves
shifts in the mess hall.
Whoa. If they can steal meds,
they'll probably steal food, too.
- How about latrine duty?
- Even better.
You were right, by the
way. People did freak out.
You'd be well within your
right to say "I told you so."
What, after the way you threw
that guy against the wall?
I honestly thought you were
gonna send him out the airlock.
You wouldn't have
really spaced him, right?
In future, I will take your
advice into consideration
before disseminating information.
- Lieutenant.
- Lieutenant.
Holy shit. I'm at Frank's Taproom.
You know, the hangout
for all the GSA officers.
This biker guy wouldn't
take no for an answer
from this woman and, um
Check it out.
