Missions (2017) s01e05 Episode Script

Previously on Missions I'm Vladimir Pavlovich Komarov.
He's disappeared.
Müller to crew.
- I think I know where he is.
- Prepare Telemachus.
- Gramat! - Do you see what I see? - It's DNA.
- He has a pebble's DNA.
I think we're going home.
Gemma Williams here.
We will help you.
I'm Lieutenant-Colonel Edward Doisneau.
He's Major Adam Wayne.
Does your black box look like this? Don't worry.
We'll be right back.
Gemma will help us.
She's and old friend.
She's only betrayed me once.
I'd like to suggest an experiment.
What do you see? Vladimir? What the hell's going on? I feel that What? Jeanne.
Now it's time for you to listen to me.
- Are you OK, Jeanne? - What happened? Alessandra put you to bed.
No, before that, what happened? Don't you remember? The hypnosis, the video cutting out? - Yes, I - The looked door, the Russian? You and the Russian? You hit him.
You remember that, of course! Where is he? Is he OK? - I want to see him.
- No, I don't want you near him.
Jeanne, we found you in a weird state.
I'm ordering you to rest.
I feel like I've been dreaming.
Captain.
What it is? We have guests.
William.
Sorry for what happened.
I shouldn't have sent soldiers for first contact.
Yes, you're usually more subtle.
Normally, Wayne and Doisneau are usually very professional.
But social interaction isn't their strong point.
Captain, this is Gemma Williams, the brilliant other half of Goldstein's brain.
You have a way with words! Come for your solar panel? William, come on, I just said sorry.
We're here to help.
- What proof do we have? - Him.
Allan Brody, inventor of the Zillion shuttle's propulsion system.
If anyone can fix Ulysses, he can.
Nice to finally meet you, guys.
Guys, come on! We're all pioneers.
Don't let one bad experience spoil our collaboration.
Let's start from scratch.
Welcome aboard.
This is our engineer, Yann Bellocq.
A name like a baddy, but he's nice.
Unlike to Meyer that has a nice name, but he's a real baddy! Yes, I know.
I once betrayed him.
It will be a beautiful night.
Yes People dream of other places, while they can't even look after their own planet.
Why did you bring me here? You must remember your past in order to think about your future.
Do you think Earth has a future? - I don't know.
- Yes, you do.
They eat their marshmallow right away, when they could have two.
Or a thousand.
Do you think humanity can continue like that? No.
I don't think so.
People have chosen a brief but exciting life.
Your species burns the candle at both ends.
You know this.
And it terrifies you.
Who are you? You were right, its critical.
The vessel will be fine as a habitat, but getting it to take off again is another story.
I imagine that the fuel problem doesn't help.
We have a tank of emergency fuel which could get you in orbit.
And nothing is beyond repair.
It's a question of time and material.
You need a lot of both.
Could we leave with you? In theory, no.
I made capsules for very few passengers to optimize the propulsion.
- And in practice? - In practice? In practice, we have a tank of emergency fuel.
Alex.
Can I leave you to assist Mr.
Brody? Aren't you a doctor? Yes.
He wants me to keep an eye on you.
I see.
You brought everything with you.
I told Brody his shuttle lacked soul.
Decor and women! Cliches and men! It's good to see you again, Gemma, even on Mars.
Same here, William.
You could have done the trip in a real cabin, with me.
This way.
Mr.
Brody may need my cabin.
He'll be here a lot.
Not in a bed he didn't design.
But he wouldn't miss Wayne and Doisneau.
Me neither.
I suppose they'll be back.
They're checking out the stele.
The what? The stele.
Next to Curiosity, You've been, haven't you? You have! How do you know? It seems Williams hasn't told you everything.
- ¿What does she mean? - You still like secrets, William.
Would two of the world's biggest fortune travel through space without being sure of finding something William? Four years ago, Curiosity sent back photos of that stele or altar or whatever you want to call it.
It seemed so incredible that NASA didn't go public with it.
But they told rich investors? Yes, to finance a mission quickly.
- What else are you hiding? - Nothing.
Success depended on keeping it secret.
What did you finding, William? - Have you found evidence of life? - No.
- Other constructions? - No, nothing.
- You looked.
- Yes, but - Stop this stupid game! - Shall I tell her? We found something.
An unknown alloy.
What do you mean? Analyzing a rock from the altar, we discovered an artificial alloy.
Can I see it? Please.
Come on.
Incredible.
Incredible.
It's DNA, right? DNA stabilized in a mineral.
Amazing.
- Amazing.
- What's with you? - It's Gemma Williams.
- Never heard of her.
You know the Zillion programs used on Earth? She created them.
She's my idol.
Have you thought it could be data? Data? Of course! At Zillion, the project's called Biodrive.
But we're a long way off.
With our technology today, we can easily read DNA.
Writing it is more complex.
Our scientists make data corresponding to the 4 nitrogen bases of DNA, then try to implant them.
But the DNA rejects them and destroys itself.
This DNA is a storage system.
- So by definition it's - Rewritable.
Exactly.
Each nucleotide contains a sequence of 4 bases convertible into binary.
Like a simple data sequence.
Awesome! Irene, while he drools, can you decipher? I already did it.
I don't speak much, but I listen.
They're numbers.
An endless series of numbers.
Oh my God! They're the same numbers as in Lost.
Really? No.
- You've dissed us all the way! - Calm down.
It doesn't change our mission.
I no longer trust him.
I no longer trust him when he says to mistrust Zillion.
You say Gemma's dangerous but she's come to help us! Why hide stuff? - You're wrong.
- Meyer, you screwed up.
Yes, I should have told you You're exactly like Goldstein.
Exactly! Maybe worse.
At least Gemma knows why she's here.
- Yann - You are the danger! - Yann! We'll do the opposite of what he says and tell them everything.
- She mustn't know.
- Yeah We'll be between Goldstein and Komarov, his prey.
That's your problem! Allan Why do you work for Zillion? It is such a big surprise? A little bit.
Well they brought me to Mars.
A long way from my ex wife.
Also, I don't have another tie, so Why not? Maybe because they said its owner is inhumane.
You know in my domain, all CEOs are the same.
Lunatics investors always looking for the next "game-changing technology".
In a sense, Goldstein is the only one with a legitimate motive.
He wants to survive.
He's exhausted every option on this planet, and now it's looking elsewhere.
Can I get that.
Except that no ones know how far the desire to live will push a man like him.
Well, as far as Mars.
Maybe further.
Come in.
Cool cabin! - Don't overdo it.
- What? - Are you after the porn? - No, I The second drawer up.
I've got bad news.
Like every ten minutes.
Komarov's DNA is data-processing.
The famous third helix? It's data.
- What are you on about? - The guy is a living computer program.
The pebble too.
Gemma mustn't find out.
Well, she's the one who sort of worked all out.
But that's not the bad news.
- Spit it out.
- I've deciphered your copy of Z1's black box.
I am a cosmonaut from the Soviet Soyuz Who are you?! Just fucking say it! I am a cosmon - There's no leaks - The oxygen cut out at exactly - Is him! - the same moment as the video.
The black box malfunctioning? The oxygen cutting out as the punch was thrown.
Quite a coincidence.
What, then? It was he who started up Irene again when he came aboard.
He did the camera in Jeanne's cabin too.
He's controlling the ship.
You must be proud to be part in this mission at your age.
I am very lucky.
It's nothing to do with luck.
William only chooses the best.
Especially, when is such a mysterious mission.
Eva, don't Don't play that game with me.
What game? William spoke about that stone a little too quickly.
And I know well enough to know that he is never straightforward.
Especially with me.
I have no idea of what are you talking about.
Do you want to go back to the Earth, I suppose? You want him to explain, right? I don't know what I want.
I'd like to start therapy, Jeanne.
I'm not in the mood, William.
I'm serious.
I've never been so serious.
I'm a man who feels the need to control everything.
That's obvious.
But I feel things are getting away from me.
It's very unpleasant.
You mean Najac's death, our crash, the storm, Komarov, Zillion It's the least you can say.
I'm talking about you.
I envisaged the rest.
What? But I didn't foresee what you're feeling right now.
You have no idea of what I feel.
The feeling of finally being where you should be, of having a goal.
Your attraction to Komarov.
What did he say to you in your cabin? What do you want, William? Here.
My application.
So? These are the last photos taken by Curiosity four years ago.
Four years? You knew, then? Yes.
The altar is only the visible part.
This is what we found 3 kilometers away, on Thaumasia plateau.
We found a particular radiation on the electromagnetic spectrum.
This is what that radiation gives us, when combine with different wavelengths.
You've always known you weren't a second choice.
Jeanne is everything OK? Why do we all dream of being explorers? The further the better, right? We say it's important, it's in our genes, then along comes Meyer, who invests 240 billion to come to Mars.
The world thinks he's an eccentric adventurer, a modern-day pioneer, who wants to collect rocks on Mars.
He tricked us all.
We've been his puppets from the start.
We can take back control of this mission.
You still believe that? Jeanne, I don't know what Meyer told you Leave me, please.
I want to be alone.
What did you say to her? To Jeanne.
You've manipulated us enough.
All right, Simon.
All right.
"All right, Simon" no.
I'm in charge here! However much you've spent, you can't buy me! How long have you been in charge? Two or three days? I've spent my life giving orders, knowing what to say to whom.
- You're playing with our lives.
- Yeah? So Isn't that what you're doing, Captain? What's going on? Why did you choose her? What do you want from her? Tell me, damn you! Do you think he'll answer you, Captain? What's she doing here? One question.
How long did you think it would take me to find out? What? Komarov.
I was wrong about you, William.
You're worse than I thought.
You've hidden the last man to see our crew alive.
- He's not a man.
- He's what I'm looking for.
You don't know what he represents.
It's beyond us all.
Especially you, William.
Wayne and Doisneau are coming.
I'll take him off your hands, if you don't mind.
Do you understand what's happening, Jeanne? I think so.
You don't have the slightest idea.
You're special, but you don't know anything yet.
Why me? You've always known you were different.
You understand quicker than the others.
You guess what they're thinking.
You made your profession of that.
You have a much greater destiny.
The link between Mars and Earth isn't me.
It's you.
You're the reason I'm here.
I've been seeing your face for millions of years.
I've waited so long.
And now, at last, I must prepare you.
For what? Prepare me for what? Remember what your father used to talk about, here? Komarov's story.
That's why you took on his appearance.
You have an important decision to take.
A decision you've already had to take in the past.
It's your path.
You have the chance to save yourself.
But you have no room for error.
I believe in you.
You must believe in yourself.
It will be a beautiful night.
Look.
Mars delivers! A particular radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum.
On Thaumasia plateau.
I've waited so long.
