SHUN: Stop! LANA: Put it down, Katie.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to SHUN: We know what you did.
We know what you are.
No.
- No, no - Don't move.
No, no, it's not that.
No, I swear, it's not that.

[BOTH GRUNTING.]
KATIE: Get off me! [KATIE STRUGGLING.]
I'm sorry.
[INDISTINCT CHATTERING.]
ANDREW: For there is no greater gift than mercy.
For it is from mercy that forgiveness can be born.
And it is from forgiveness that we can find peace with the wrongs done to us.
For which of us have never been wronged? And which of us have never wronged another? Go now and think on this.
Hi, Andy.
Hello, Rachel.
[GROANING AND GASPING.]
[THUDDING.]
Hello! Let me out! No! - Is anybody there? - ABIGAIL: It can't be her.
She's the last person that I ever Just, it doesn't make any sense.
Oh.
Whereas me being infected did? We found the scalpel in Katie's room.
Why else would she have smashed the chip? [BREATHING HEAVILY.]
REY: So, what are we gonna do with her now? LANA: We're a day from Thea.
We just have to keep her locked up till arrival.
SIREN can deal with her.
[BAUM STAMMERS.]
Are you serious? We're talking about a murderer here.
Oh, wait, I'm sorry.
We're talking about a fucking alien, and your priority is to keep her cozy? - We can't hurt her, Baum.
- You think Lee would agree? Like you cared about Lee.
LOGAN: I wanna see her.
I need to.
- [GROANS SOFTLY.]
- [DOOR OPENS.]
[GASPS.]
Logan, finally [DOOR BEEPS, OPENS.]
[DOOR CLOSES.]
Did you kill Lee? - How can you ask me that? - What the hell am I supposed to think? You're supposed to trust me.
I did trust you.
And then you smashed the fucking chip.
Our one way of finding out who was infected, and you haven't even given me a goddamn explanation.
Tell me! Why did you do it? Hey, look at me.
[SOBBING.]
Please.
Why the fuck did you do it? I can't.
Fine.
You're SIREN's problem now.
Logan! Logan [BIRDS SQUAWKING.]
KATIE: Andrew! I'm sorry I just turned up.
But I thought if I told you I was coming, I might talk myself out of it.
[SCOFFS.]
ANDREW: Rachel No screens or anything? [CHUCKLES.]
No.
- No outside contact.
- What is this place, Andy? All of you out here in the middle of nowhere.
It's my home now.
- Rachel, how did you find me? - Does it matter? - And it's "Katie" now.
- What? I don't go by "Rachel" anymore.
Right.
Katie.
Look, I know it's a lot, but I can help out.
I can Whatever you need.
If you're happy for me to stay.
You're my sister.

There's no such thing.
Is there? [SHUN SIGHS.]
[LOW RUMBLING.]
LANA: Something's happening.
[RUMBLING CONTINUES.]
HENRI: The ship It's changing.
[BEEPING.]
ABIGAIL: Rey? Rey, what's going on? - The shields - ABIGAIL: What? The shields are closing.
HENRI: What does that mean? - Rey? - Just wait.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY.]
That's it, isn't it? Thea.
We made it.
[DOOR OPENS.]
What the hell do you want? - You haven't seen it yet, have you? - Just get out.
Okay? I mean it.
You couldn't have known.
She fooled all of us.
Yeah.
Now, look out the fucking window.
Fucking Oh, my God! - Is that - BAUM: That's it.
LOGAN: Holy shit.
It's fucking beautiful.
Wait, do you see that? Hey.
I wanted you to know We made it.
And it's beautiful.
I thought you might want this back.
[SNIFFLES.]
I've found my home.
You should hold on to yours.
[SNIFFLES.]
Goodbye, Taylor.
ABIGAIL: Rey! - Rey! - Hey.
What's wrong? You have to come see this.
Come on.
LANA: Did you guys see it, too? Henri: Yes.
It looked like it was coming towards us.
ABIGAIL: What the hell is that? [DOOR OPENING.]
[EXHALES.]
[WHIRRING.]
It's empty.
What the hell is that thing? [ENERGY PULSING.]
HENRI: Get back.
Get back.
[CRACKLING, WHIRRING.]
LOGAN: What the fuck is happening? ABIGAIL: Oh, my God.
SHUN: It's going through the whole damn ship.
[ALARM BLARING.]
- [WHIMPERS.]
- What the hell was that? [COMPUTER SCANNING.]
What's going on? REY: It's taken control of the ship! Those white flashes It's scanning us.
It's scanning the Origin.
Scanning, what for? "Non-native life form"? [BEEPING.]
[BEEPING STOPS.]
[RAPID BEEPING.]
- What the hell is Protocol 47? - I've never heard of it.
SHUN: What's happening to Ring 9? We have to get down there.
What are those blue lights? KATIE: [SHOUTS.]
What's happening? What is going on? [GRUNTING.]
Let me out! Somebody [SOBS.]
Is there anybody there? [DOOR THUDS.]
KATIE: Andrew! You don't have to sneak around.
- Where are you going? - I have a sermon.
- Can I come? - You? If it's important to you, I wanna be a part of it.
I don't think that It takes a bit of time for us to integrate people.
Of course.
Yeah, that's fine.
Just wanted something to do.
Next time.
Thank you.
He never mentioned any family.
He didn't? It must be wonderful having a brother so close to the Lord.
[CHUCKLES.]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
[KATIE SHUSHING.]
It's okay.
- [HORSE NEIGHING.]
- Whoa.
SEAN: Whoa! - [HORSE NICKERS.]
- [SEAN LAUGHS.]
Come on.
[SHUSHES.]
Stop posturing.
There you go.
He's just showing off.
Soft as butter on the inside.
You must be the sister.
Am I the talk of the village? God-fearing man brings a mysterious lady friend home.
- How do you expect people to react? - "God-fearing " Sorry, I mean He's always been just "Andrew" to me.
I used to ride.
It's been so long I've probably forgotten how.
SEAN: You don't forget.
Wanna give it a go? ANDREW: Katie.
Father I'll see you later.
Katie.
Sorry, I saw the horses and I I don't want you talking to him.
What? Why? He's not like the rest of us.
If you want to stay here, you live by my rules.
Okay? Okay.
[SHUTTLE WHIRRING.]
AUTOMATED VOICE: Ring 9.
What the hell are these lines? They run all through the ship.
Shit! LANA: What the fuck is that? Something's being released into the ring.
It looks like gas.
ABIGAIL: Gas? HENRI: What's that one? There.
- Rey, come on! - I don't know.
I'm sorry.
I don't know what it is.
Well, it's right outside.
Whoa, Doc, what the fuck are you gonna do? ABIGAIL: Henri.
[DOOR OPENS.]
[GRUNTS.]
Here.
Stand back.
- REY: What's he doing? - Come on! Fucking crazy! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! [ALL SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY.]
[GRUNTING.]
- Help me.
- [AX CLATTERS.]
LOGAN: This is insane! [ABIGAIL GRUNTS.]
ABIGAIL: Henri, what are those things? - Get back! - Why? Why? What the hell is it? HENRI: I've seen it on nerve agents developed by the military.
That sign What's inside is deadly.
LOGAN: Did you say "nerve agents"? Are they poisoning us? HENRI: Whatever's being released onto the ship, it's designed to kill everything on board.
[ALARM BEEPING.]
Shit! BAUM: It's into Ring 8 now! [BEEPING CONTINUES.]
- It's moving fast.
- Why is this ship trying to kill us? Non-native life form.
It's scanning for the alien.
We're all thinking the same thing, right? Come on, it's because of the parasite.
No, no, no, no, no.
That's impossible.
SIREN couldn't have known about the parasite.
The probe came looking for the infection.
Unless the alien is gone, we're all gonna die.
- What exactly are you suggesting? - BAUM: We know who's infected.
We kill the host, the alien dies with it, and we don't get gassed.
Why not sacrifice her right now? What the fuck do you mean by that? - You're talking about murder.
- To save all of us.
She's not human.
Fuck! [GRUNTING.]
Okay.
[ALARM BLARING.]
[BEEPING.]
BAUM: The scans aren't gonna stop.
She's going to get us killed, isn't she? - Huh? - We can't just execute her.
- What if we're wrong? - Exactly.
BAUM: There is no time.
We have to act now.
Or am I missing something here? Shun? [SHUN SIGHS.]
If that's the only way out.
I don't want the rest of us to die on this ship.
- We're so close now.
- No.
No, there has to be another way.
BAUM: It's us or the alien.
I choose us.
Where's Logan? - What are you doing here? - Kate, get back.
I said, get back! Fuck it.
Come here, come here.
- All right, we gotta go.
- [GROANS.]
What's going on? The ship knows about the parasite.
We've got to get you out of here.
- Why? - 'Cause they're gonna fucking kill you.
Come on.
[BIRDS SQUAWKING.]
- Sermon? - Yeah.
Hope it goes well.
Thanks.
[PEOPLE SINGING INDISTINCTLY.]
[DOOR CLOSES.]
- Why don't you come with me? - What? Just come.
[ALL SINGING.]
[INAUDIBLE.]
[ALL VOCALIZING.]
[LOUD HUMMING.]
[DRONE HUMMING.]
Father, what is that? It's for me.
Come on.
Come on.
Let's go.
- Andy It's for me.
- Let's go.
[HUMMING CONTINUES.]
[SCAN BEEPING.]
No.
No, no, no! Logan, you fucking idiot.
[PANTING.]
- We'll search the ring.
- Wait.
What are you gonna do to her? We don't have a choice.
I can't.
Not again.
- Give him your gun, Lana.
- What? You can't do what needs to be done, fine.
But I will.
Let's shoot the right person this time, shall we? Give him your gun.
Thank you.
Let's go.
I'm sorry.
- Logan, why are you doing this? - [PANTING.]
What? Less than an hour ago, you were accusing me of murdering Lee, and now you're trying to save my life? I'm not just gonna let them kill you.
- Why not, if you think I did it? - I don't know what to think! I came to you when they cast you out, or did you forget? [DOOR OPENS.]
- Run, run! - BAUM: Stop, stop, stop! [GUNSHOT.]
Shit.
- The shuttle.
- No.
Gas is rising.
We'll stay on Ring 1.
What if Katie isn't infected? We could be hunting her when the alien's still among us.
We've been wrong before.
We can't just go around killing each other.
Unless What? No, no.
REY: Say it.
It is possible to temporarily suspend someone's life and bring them back.
- Can you do that? - In theory, but it would have to be a last resort.
There are huge risks.
ABIGAIL: Yeah, but if we did have any doubts about Katie It could be the only way to avoid an unjust execution.
[GROANING.]
I can't.
Go on without me.
Kate, just run! - No.
- Kate What's the point, unless you believe me? [DOOR OPENS.]
Out of the way! LOGAN: Whoa! Stop! - Get out of the way, Logan.
- No! - BAUM: She's fucking with your head, Logan! - No, she's not! No, she's not, okay? It's not her! I know it's not her! - [ALARM BLARING.]
- [RUMBLING.]
- Please, please, please! - BAUM: We don't have time for this.
Just listen to me.
Listen to me.
Whoa.
What are you doing? It's okay.
I know you think I smashed the chip because I'm infected, but it's because I couldn't bear the thought of you all knowing who I used to be.
I came here for a blank slate, and I wasn't ready to lose it.
Something just came over me.
Convenient.
You can believe me or not, but I swear, killing me won't kill the alien.
I'm telling the truth.
Can't you see she's not lying? - Logan! - Come on, we should just Let's just do it! [WHIMPERS.]
LOGAN: Please.
Listen to her, okay? She's telling the truth.
Please.
- What are you doing? - I could've killed you.
I shot the wrong person once I can't make the same mistake.
ABIGAIL: [ON RADIO.]
Shun? We need you to bring Katie back, alive.
Henri has a test that'll tell if she's infected.
We've established the parasite and host share a symbiotic relationship.
- If the person dies - SHUN: The alien does, too.
The saline should lower the body temperature enough to mimic death.
"Mimic death"? That sounds pretty conclusively like death to me.
So this is gonna stop the protocol, right? If she's infected.
Well, the scans are repeating.
If it's anything like the other fail-safes, the ship will know when the problem has been rectified.
Henri, are you sure you can bring her back? We have approximately 12 minutes to revive her.
But, as I said, so much of this is theoretical.
Fuck are you talking about? This is insane, all right? - There's no way - I'll do it.
What? We're all in this mess because of me, Logan.
I'm not letting you risk your life.
I know it's not you.
- I know.
- No.
But I have to do this.
I'll take the test.
Fuck me.
Are you sure? Are you sure you understand the dangers? All right.
Let's try it.
[HEART MONITOR BEEPING.]
Abigail, prep a timer for 12 minutes.
Set it for when she ABIGAIL: Okay.
Hey.
- Come back to me.
- I'm not scared.
I'm not scared.
[GASPING.]
[FLATLINING.]
[OBJECT CLATTERS.]
Andy, I'm sorry.
I must have missed the check-in.
I didn't realize they would send something out this far! [DOOR CLOSES.]
[TAPPING ON WINDOW.]
- What is this place? - You'll see.
You'll see.
[CHUCKLES.]
Why did you decide to jailbreak me? It's nice to find another misfit in this place.
Besides, I had an idea.
Just so you know, they'll crucify me for taking them out without permission.
Thank you.
Oh, my God.
Oh, they're so beautiful.
- [HORSE NICKERS.]
- Hello.
- Hi.
- I saw the drone.
I wish you hadn't.
SEAN: Nothing like that's ever come out this far.
Someone must have really wanted to track you down.
What'd you do, Katie? - I can't.
- Come on.
I'm the last person who's gonna judge you.
I said I can't.
All I ever do is try to run away from it, but This time I really thought I could settle.
You know what I've realized? You can't evade your own shadow.
You can go as far or as fast as you like, but it's always gonna be there.
If you don't learn to embrace it, you'll never stop running.
Is that what you did? Would I be here if I had? So let's run together.
Oh, I miss this.
I'll race you.
- Come on! - SEAN: Come on! KATIE: Come on! KATIE: Whoo! Katie! Katie, slow down! - [GASPS.]
- [HORSE NEIGHS.]
[FLATLINING.]
[LOGAN BREATHING HEAVILY.]
How long's it been? Uh - Nearly seven minutes.
- How come there hasn't been another scan? - It will happen.
- LOGAN: Yeah, when? Just wait! Please, wait.
[GRUNTS IN FRUSTRATION.]
- [ALARM BLARING.]
- [BLARING.]
LOGAN: What does it say? - It hasn't stopped.
- Yeah, because she's not infected! I told you, right? It's not her! Maybe we should wait a little longer.
Fuck you, okay! She's not the alien! Doc, bring her back, okay? Bring her back, please.
- I'm doing it.
Adrenalin.
- ABIGAIL: Okay.
[INJECTS.]
- Why is nothing happening? - Just wait one moment! It's not working, Henri.
Just bring her back, please, Doc.
Please.
- Another one.
- Yeah.
- [RAPID BEEPING.]
- HENRI: Heart spasms! - Defibrillator.
- LOGAN: No, no, no! No, Kate.
Please, please.
- [DEVICE POWERS UP.]
- Move! [FLATLINING.]
- [SOBBING.]
No.
- [GRUNTING.]
- No.
- HENRI: Come on, Kate.
Come on, Kate.
What did you do? [SNIFFLES.]
- [BEEPS.]
- [GASPS.]
- [ABIGAIL GASPS.]
- LOGAN: Yes.
[STEADY BEEPING.]
Yes.
Yes.
It's okay.
[SNIFFLES.]
You're okay.
[GASPS.]
LOGAN: It's okay.
[GROANS.]
Andy? What happened? You fell.
Where is he? He's gone.
We told him to leave.
- You had no right to do that.
- No, you had no right.
What were you thinking? Riding out with a stranger when you haven't been on a horse in years.
That's why I did it.
I wanted something back.
Something from before that was good.
You promised to live by my rules, but all you've done is break what I've tried to build here.
Isn't it built on a lie, Andy? We hated the idea of God and now, what, you're some kind of religious leader? I knew you wouldn't understand.
Because you're pretending, Andy.
- This isn't you.
- You don't know who I am! You've been out of my life for years We are strangers.
You are not a stranger to me.
You never wanted me back, did you? I can't do it.
I can't forget.
- I never asked you to forget.
- But you're here, and you wanna live with me and be part of this life, like we just bury the past.
I'm paying for what I did every day, but it's a part of me now.
He was a child.
He was just a child.
[FIRE CRACKLING.]
So was I.
I never meant for it to happen.
You've always said that, but you woke up that morning knowing you were going to go after him.
You woke up knowing you were going to hurt him.
[SOBBING.]
I thought I was protecting you! He made your life miserable, and you tried to hurt yourself.
You knew he was in there, you knew he wouldn't get out.
- That's not true.
- You killed him, Rachel.
[MOUTHS.]
No! [SNIFFLES.]
There is this darkness in you, and it has always been there, and I can't pretend I don't see it.
Do you believe in forgiveness? Yes.
Can you forgive me? No.
[FIRE CRACKLING.]
- We are never doing that again, ever.
- [CHUCKLES.]
HENRI: Katie I'm so sorry.
At least you all know.
[ALARM BLARING.]
REY: Why would SIREN do this? There has to be something.
They knew something.
Rey, where are you going? Captain's cabin.
So that's it.
We're all just gonna roll over and die.
We can't give up yet.
Thea is right there.
If we can't stop this thing, can't we at least try to survive it? Oh, wow, that's a great plan.
And who made you invincible? [SNIFFLES.]
[EXHALES.]
It's been great.
Baum, what are you gonna do? Baum! Great.
Rey? Rey? Rey, what are you doing? REY: I gave up my life for this mission.
Taylor died for this mission, but now I'm not sure either of us even knew who SIREN were.
ABIGAIL: Okay, what are we looking for? [BREATHING HEAVILY.]
[HOLOGRAM BEEPING.]
Wow.
What is this? Thea's solar system.
There it is.
Wait.
[SPEAKING FRENCH.]
What? What? What's wrong? This planet, it doesn't exist.
I don't I've studied this solar system 1,000 times.
There's no such planet as Iris.
LANA: The gas is into Ring 5! We need to do something, now.
- What is it? - This poison's airborne, right? Yeah.
So the best chance we have is to stop ourselves breathing it in.
How the hell do we do that? We need all the oxygen supplies we can gather.
There were backup tanks in Ring 4.
We're gonna have to be fast.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- What are you doing? - I wanna help.
Kate, you just died.
Take it easy.
What? I know you feel like I owe you an explanation about why I was so desperate to hide my past I know everything that I need to know about you.
How could SIREN have hid an entire planet from you? Well, the real question is why.
[BEEPS.]
- What is the Iris Incident? - I have no idea.
- Shit.
They went there.
- ABIGAIL: Who? - SIREN.
SIREN went to Iris.
- Why would they keep that a secret? Rey? What? - Rey, what does that mean? - No one came back! [GASPS.]
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
