The Ark (2023) s01e12 Episode Script
Everybody Wins
1
BRICE: Previously on "The Ark"
This is Lieutenant Garnet of Ark 1.
We have your spider DNA.
- Did you make it in?
- I'm in.
When will they realize we
gave them the wrong spider DNA?
- Brice!
- ALICIA: Can you see what other elements
they're combining with the
venom to create the cure?
Potassium, aluminum
sulfate in formaldehyde?
From these results, it
looks like the injection
had no effect whatsoever
on Brice's blood.
- I told you not to fall for me.
- Well, too late.
I hope that you and I will move
into a room together one day.
- Let's go.
- (SHOUTS)
We're almost at the shuttle bay.
We got a problem here, guys.
We can't seem to take off.
EVA: Someone has to
pull a release lever.
Okay, then where is that?
In the airlock, outside the shuttle.
- Someone has to stay behind.
- I'll stay.
- You need to get back to Ark 1.
- Don't die.
- You made it!
- ANGUS: Nice to see you, too.
I'm just I'm just really
happy you're all safe.
Good to see you, too, guys.
Felix, have someone take
Trust back to lockup.
Really? We're not past this?
You're going to need
my help with Evelyn.
- Where's Brice?
- Uh, med bay.
He's not doing well.
The Klampkins cure didn't work?
Lane?
Come on, man. You know I'm
not getting out of that brig.
(ALARM BLARING)
(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)
(GROANS)
(MUTTERING)
- Wait. What
- Try to relax.
- What happened?
- You don't remember?
I remember you gave me
the injection and, uh
Let me guess, it wasn't a cure.
I followed all of Ark 15's research.
- It should have worked.
- But it didn't.
- No!
- Just stay away from me.
Do not take it out on Dr. Kabir.
She's trying to help you.
I'm not angry at either of you, okay?
I'm angry at myself for ever believing
that this could actually work.
This is what I've been
trying to tell you.
Sometimes it's worse to have hope.
Lane to Ark 1.
Garnet?
Lane, tell me you're all right.
I would, but I promised
I'd never lie to you again.
Can you hid until we're
able to get over there?
No, no, no, you can't come back for me.
You need to charge your FTL and go.
Ark 15 will just chase us.
- Not if I destroy their FTL.
- If we leave, you'll be stranded on Ark 15.
- It's suicide.
- And your point is?
We've run the simulation five
times. It should have cured him.
- I don't know where I went wrong.
- Maybe you didn't.
- Maybe Ark 15's scientists screwed up.
- No, the science is sound.
The combined mixture should
neutralize the toxin in his blood.
All I can think is that maybe I
mixed the proportions incorrectly.
But I checked your work.
Not that I can't make a mistake, too.
- What happened to the spider venom?
- Oh, that can't be it.
- The venom's liquid.
- Wait, wait, wait.
Wait, wait, this is interesting.
"The Mediterranean
recluse spider's venom
decays upon exposure to helium."
But how would it have come
into contact with helium?
- (MUTTERING)
- The CO2 scrubbers that produce our oxygen
produce a byproduct of helium.
So our artificial air must have
a small amount of helium in it.
But apparently it's enough
to make the venom degrade?
The cure was never going to work because
the venom loses its potency
in the artificial atmosphere.
Okay, so we need to introduce
the venom to his bloodstream
without exposing it to the air.
We have to let the spiders
bite Lieutenant Brice.
Oi, wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait.
Tell me I'm still passed
out and this is a coma dream.
- Dr. Kabir is right.
- I know, but come on, man.
- Bite me?
- Are you afraid of spiders?
Oh, you you want to put
your hand in there, do you?
- Look at those things, man.
- I know they're terrifying,
but we don't know when
your next attack may occur.
- This may be the only way.
- Oh, come on.
(GROANS)
Okay, this is the first
two components of the serum.
Once your bitten, the pure
venom should catalyze them.
I'm sticking my hand
in there on a "should"?
It will. Probably.
(CLEARS THROAT)
- Lieutenant?
- Yeah. Sorry, no, I'm just, uh
I'm just questioning
my life choices here.
Hey, you can do it.
All right.
- Yep, I can't look.
- You can't look?
Right.
(GROANING)
Oh, I can feel their
evil little legs just
just crawling all over me, man.
Oh, they're really interested in you.
Oh, that one looks like it's
taking a nap on your finger.
- You're not helping, Nevins.
- Why aren't they biting?
Maybe we need to make them angry.
No, no, please don't. Please don't.
- (SCREAMING)
- It's working!
- They're biting!
- I know! I know they're biting!
How long do I have to
put up with this for?
Uh, yeah, that should be enough.
Thank you, thank you.
Thank you, Heavenly Father. Thank you.
Yeah, like you're never
afraid of anything.
I'm at the engine room.
GARNET: Okay, a standard crew rotation
has five techs on duty.
Yes, but I have the element of surprise.
STRICKLAND: There might be more
than five techs on the ship.
- Maybe we should rethink this plan.
- There's no time.
I'm going in.
- Hi.
- (ELECTRICITY CRACKLING)
Engine room secure.
Good work. How many were there?
Eh, about 10.
- (ALARM BLARING)
- What's that noise?
Alarms. Kelly called it
the most valuable tech
in the universe, remember?
- (ALARM STOPS)
- It's done.
Maddox can't follow you.
Now you need to get
out of there right now.
(STATIC)
- Lane?
- Spencer?
MADDOX: Mr. Lane can't talk right now.
But don't worry. I'll be in touch.
Hey.
You have to prepare
yourself for the inevitable.
- This isn't gonna work.
- Then why'd you let those spiders bite you?
Well, I just figured it
couldn't hurt, you know,
to face my one and only fear.
And why are you so afraid of hope?
It's not that, sweetheart.
What I'm afraid of is
seeing the look on your face
when they tell me it hasn't worked.
Alicia.
- Um, we have the results.
- And?
I want to caution you that this
is an experimental treatment
Please don't. Just
cut to the chase, okay?
Just tell me, how long do I have?
Is it an hour? Is it a week? What is it?
- Well
- You're cured.
- What?
- Cured might be an overstatement.
The toxin damaged your liver,
kidneys, and neurological system.
- Now, the liver
- Doc, come on.
- It worked.
- Yes.
It appears to have worked.
I'm sorry, what's worked?
There are no longer
any visible Klampkins
toxins in your blood.
The venom neutralized it.
Right.
- Are you okay?
- Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm so sorry, Doc.
Um, I think the cure's got
some funny side effects.
It's done something weird to my eyes.
- Eva?
- I'm
I'm fine, really, it's just
Brice? The cure?
Thank God.
How's he doing?
It's taking him a minute to process it,
but he's fine.
This is Garnet. All members of council,
please report to the
ready room immediately.
(CHATTERING)
GARNET: I can't tell you how
happy I am you're Klampkins-free.
Not as happy as me, mate.
It's all thanks to Dr. K.
Right, so what's so urgent?
Well, Dr. Kabir figuring out the
cure has put us on new ground.
We now have two things Maddox wants.
The Klampkins cure and Trust's
planetary rotation programming.
Exactly.
- We can make a trade.
- For Lane?
Yes, and maybe sharing the planet.
But we have to act fast before
they can repair their weapon.
Smart. Maddox takes the bait.
We stick a gun to her head the
second she steps out of the airlock.
No. That's why humanity is dying.
Everyone is acting
like Trust and Maddox.
We have to be better than them.
Absolutely not. I'll come over
there and take what I want.
GARNET: Let me stop you
right there, Evelyn.
Ms. Maddox.
Ms. Maddox, your doctors screwed up.
It took Ark 1's brilliant
doctor to figure out the cure.
She's now the only person in the galaxy
who can save your life.
You're lying. My doctors
So, if you want to live,
you'll agree to two simple conditions
releasing Lane to me
and sharing Proxima B.
I'll never agree to that.
Fine, Ark 1 will leave you here,
stranded with an incurable disease.
Our FTL will be charged in 30 seconds,
and I'm guessing yours can't charge.
Decide fast.
We can send a shuttle.
- Fine, I accept your terms.
- Excellent.
And in the meantime,
Lane better not be hurt.
Garnet out.
How will that woman double-cross us?
She won't.
How will that woman double-cross us?
Let's hope she doesn't.
So you actually think
that I'll spin up Proxima B
and share it with Evelyn?
I'm not sure why that's so amusing.
Because you made the deal
without consulting me.
Why would I consult you?
You have no choice in the matter.
Perhaps, but I have leverage.
I want my freedom.
And then I
Now that's amusing.
You have zero power here.
You can share your programming
with all of us, including Maddox,
or I can give her you.
Well, at least free Cat.
I mean, she doesn't deserve any of this.
- Please?
- Why do you care?
Because I talked her into
participating in my little mutiny.
She wouldn't have done it otherwise.
I'll consider it.
Unlike you, Cat regrets her actions,
and helped us figure out Maddox's plan.
I should be asking for
better living conditions.
Do you know how humiliating it
is to be escorted to the bathroom?
At least on Ark 15, they had the
decency to build a proper brig.
Yeah, you're the one who
built this ark, right?
Maybe you should've thought of that.
You're taking troops onto Ark 1?
You said Garnet's offer is sincere.
- It is. So now you're gonna screw her?
- I need the cure,
but I have no intention
of sharing Proxima B.
You know, for a genius,
you really are an idiot.
If Garnet is naive enough
to welcome me onto Ark 1,
I'd be a fool not to
use this opportunity.
Do you want to live or do
you want to destroy Ark 1?
Because you can't do both.
She'll give me whatever I want
with a gun or two to her head.
Maybe.
Or she would've assumed you would
pull something and prepared for it.
Look, I know her.
The only sure way to get what
you want is to honor the deal.
If this is gonna go south,
it's gonna happen right now.
The second she steps out,
I want you and a security
detail to sweep the shuttle.
Really wish we had more than
cattle prods and a hammer.
- Put your hands up, right now! Right now!
- Whoa, whoa, whoa!
It's just me, guys.
Welcome to Ark 1, Ms. Maddox.
- Please raise your hands.
- Is that really necessary?
I'm sure you understand. The road
to detente can sometimes be rocky.
- Detente?
- What else would you call it?
Give me my cure first,
and then we'll see.
Then I'm sure you won't mind
if we search your shuttle.
You should've left.
Yeah, I probably should have.
But I'm glad you didn't.
Just to be clear,
I am still mad at you, Spence.
It's a very different culture over here.
We have a stowaway.
How dare you bring this
woman onto our ship?
She murdered members of our crew.
I don't know what you
thought you were planning,
but the deal is off.
What were you thinking?
- I'm sorry, but
- Spit it out!
What's so important that you'd
risk blowing this exchange?
You. You're dying.
If the cure doesn't work, I
just I want to be with you.
Well, you may have
just ruined everything.
I'm sorry about this, Lieutenant.
Please forgive my daughter
her foolish sentimentality.
Daughter?
Don't mistake compassion for naiveté.
This is the last
surprise I will tolerate.
And you, if you want to be with
your mother, there are conditions.
- I have to get bitten?
- I know it's unorthodox,
but given the progress
of your Klampkins,
we don't have time to synthesize
a preservative for the venom.
- It sounds like a trap.
- I'm inclined to agree.
Uh, look, I am proof that
Dr. Kabir's cure works.
If you were ever sick
in the first place.
Oh, yeah, no. No, no, no.
I just let a load of spiders
bite the hell out of my hand
so I could fool you
into doing the same just,
- um, for a laugh, really.
- If I wanted to kill you,
I would have thrown
you out of the airlock.
Now that logic makes sense.
Look, it's just a few
seconds of excruciating pain
and then it's gonna be whoa, wow.
You just you went straight in.
Straight in with the hand.
She didn't even have to make them angry.
Well, there's no
surprises there, is there?
- Oh, God, I can't look.
- What happened to moral support?
I'm serious, I'm gonna be sick.
Can I go to the bathroom, please?
She clearly takes after her father.
Thank you. I couldn't watch, it was
Bathroom's just around the corner.
I won't make it.
As you can see, the
newly formed compound
has successfully attacked
the Klampkins molecules
and put them into remission.
- Is this real?
- Mm-hmm, yeah.
I'm cured? I'm not gonna die?
- Not of Klampkins.
- Now it's my turn to trust you.
I'm counting on you to keep our deal.
Once my doctors confirm
that this worked,
I'll keep my side of the
deal. We'll share the planet.
Kelly attacked Griff and ran.
What is your daughter planning?
Where's the farm boy?
I know I was only gone a day,
but I really missed you guys.
You would not have liked Ark 15.
- (ELECTRICITY CRACKLING)
- (SHOUTING)
(ANGUS GRUNTS)
I thought there was something
real growing between us.
- (GROANING)
- You used me.
After everything I did for you,
you threw it all away to
be here with these people?
To be with some stupid plants?
- (COUGHING)
- His plants are not stupid.
Angus! Angus! Oh, my God.
- Angus, are you okay?
- Thank you.
I I didn't hit her that hard, did I?
MADDOX: What did you do?
What?
What happened to my daughter?
It was an accident. Kelly, she just
It's my fault. Kelly came
for me. I protected myself.
- You did this?
- Yes.
If you hadn't saved my life,
this would have a
very different outcome.
I'm not hungry. Just put
the gruel in the corner.
I'm not the help, Will.
I thought I would never see you again.
- Me neither.
- (DOOR CLOSES)
But I heard I have you
to thank for my freedom.
Oh, it's the least I could do.
I'm sorry. For everything.
Did anyone say anything about Helena?
About a memorial?
No one on this ship gives a damn.
Well, Helena did lead a mutiny with you.
(KNOCK ON DOOR)
That's all the time they've given me.
But I'll check in on you again.
It's what Helena wanted.
Are you out of your
mind? Your wife just died.
Yes, I'm sorry.
(STAMMERING)
I guess I'm just desperate
for human contact.
Believe me, so am I.
I'm free, but I'm not free.
It's so obvious from the way
everyone stares that they hate me.
Right now, I just need a friend.
Sure, yeah. I think that's
probably what I need also.
Okay.
Ms. Maddox, she's
bleeding in her cranium.
I don't have the facilities
to perform brain surgery.
I do. I'll get Kelly back
to Ark 15 immediately.
- With your permission.
- Of course.
I hope she recovers, Ms.
Maddox, but you should know,
even with surgery, it's a long shot.
They said the same
thing about Klampkins.
- I'm very sorry about Kelly.
- So am I.
I almost hate to bring
it up right now, but
- Do we still have a deal?
- Yeah.
You and your people destroyed
my weapons and my FTL.
You put my daughter in a coma.
And how many of our people did you kill?
At the very least, we
could coexist as friends
without anymore killings?
Despite what you've heard about me,
I do keep my word, Lieutenant Garnet.
You get William to spin up that
planet, and we will share it.
But make no mistake, we
will never be friends.
Damn sensors. Won't
penetrate the atmosphere.
You look frustrated.
It's the data from Proxima.
Something doesn't make sense.
Look, the water on the
dark side isn't frozen.
So?
It's minus 20 on the dark side.
Maybe it has a super
high level of salinity?
That would keep it from freezing.
That's really smart.
You just gave me a whole
new way of looking at this.
Thank you. You're a lifesaver.
Please, you literally saved my life.
You covered for me.
That was really cool.
It was my fault for trusting Kelly.
- I was an idiot.
- I can relate.
I mean, I can't believe my
first kiss was with a murderer.
Mine, too.
(LAUGHS)
I guess we'll just have
to make our second kisses
that much more memorable.
Yeah, yeah, I really don't want to
mess up that second kiss.
Yeah, neither do I.
Uh
so show me more about Proxima B.
It's nice in here.
It's almost like a walk
in a park back on Earth.
Yeah, Earth before the solar storms,
carbonization, the ocean swells.
How I remember it as a kid.
I think I need to start being
a little bit nicer to plant boy.
He did do a good job.
You could start by using his real name
instead of calling him plant boy.
Yeah, well, let's let's
not go crazy, shall we?
Where is Angus?
I might have asked him to, uh,
give us the place to ourselves.
Oh. So this is a date.
Well, you know, if you have to ask,
- I'm obviously doing it wrong.
- No, you're not.
Sorry, I just have a lot on my mind.
Hey, like what?
We've somehow managed to make
friends with the crazy lady.
- We've cured my Klampkins.
- A lot can still go wrong.
And now who's afraid of hope?
This ship is fragile.
Hey. Hey, listen to me.
If there's anybody who
can keep this ship going,
it's Alicia.
I'm serious. She's a very,
very intelligent girl.
- So how was the biodome?
- Oh, right, there she goes. Very nice, thank you.
Um, so I was wondering if
if I could come back onto the bridge.
Why wouldn't you be welcome
on the bridge, Lieutenant Lane?
I mean, I think you've more
than re-earned your commission.
- Agreed?
- Yeah, I think he's earned it.
I'll only accept on one condition.
Brice has to agree to start
referring to you as Captain Garnet.
Because that's what
I'd prefer to call you.
Yeah, I think she's earned it.
Okay, okay, I'm honored, guys,
but let's make these decisions
after we've settled a bit.
Fill us in.
The science behind my neodymium
magnet rig is actually quite simple.
Evelyn already deployed them
along the planet's equator.
Now, once activated, they
create a magnetic field,
which puts pressure on Proxima's poles,
forcing the planet to rotate.
So it's all just done
with frigging magnets?
Very powerful magnets.
ALICIA: It's kind of a brilliant way
to utilize a planet's magnetic poles.
So once your device
jump-starts Proxima's rotation,
- inertia makes it self-sustaining, right?
- Yes.
And you're sure it will work?
I've never been surer of anything.
Then turn it on.
Gladly.
You may want to put some
distance between us and Ark 15.
Things could get a bit
turbulent in terms of gravity.
Don't want to have us
crashing into each other.
That's good. Now watch the magic happen.
It doesn't appear to be working.
The planet isn't spinning up.
Be patient.
Wait for it. It takes time.
MADDOX: Garnet, what have you done?
- What do you mean, Ms. Maddox?
- I knew you'd double-cross me.
- I don't know what you mean.
- Oh, my God, look!
They're getting too close to the planet.
They'll get trapped in its gravity
and sucked down if they don't move away.
Evelyn, you're moving
too close to the planet.
MADDOX: I'm not doing that. You are!
- What have you done?
- He only turned on one of the devices
and aimed its magnetic field at Ark 15.
It's dragging the ship
down to Proxima's surface.
- The crash will kill them!
- Well, it's a shame
that Evelyn didn't have someone
as smart as you on Ark 15.
How can you be so cold-blooded?
Well, I don't see the problem.
Once Evelyn is dead, I'll
actually spin up Proxima
and we'll have the planet to ourselves.
Everybody wins.
You've really convinced yourself
you're the good guy, haven't you?
Evelyn Maddox and that kid of hers
are responsible for Helena's death.
There is no way in hell
I would let them live,
let alone share my planet.
MADDOX: I thought you might
double-cross me, Garnet.
But I never thought you'd
kill everyone on my ship.
There are innocent people here!
You're gonna kill 400 people
who had nothing to do
with your wife's death?
- And how many people of yours did she kill?
- Her crew are innocent.
Her crew chose to follow Evelyn,
and that makes them complicit.
GARNET: For all we know,
Ark 15 is more than half
of what's left of the human race.
Are there more than 150
living people on Ark 1?
- Yes.
- Then since we instituted genetic diversity protocols,
that's enough to restart humanity.
You are truly one sick individual.
They have less than five
minutes until impact.
Ark 1 to Ark 15, do you copy?
The EM field knocked out some of
their systems, including comms.
Wipe that stupid smile off your face
- and stop this right now!
- Even if I wanted to,
and I really don't, it's impossible.
We'd have to transmit the shutdown code
to the rotation device on the surface.
- Then do it.
- Not from this distance.
We'd have to move Ark
1 closer to Proxima.
That's why you had me move us away.
And let me guess, we get closer,
and we get caught in the gravity, too.
And the magnetic field,
which would shut us down like Ark 15.
You really thought this
through, didn't you?
Well, I couldn't have
you do anything foolish,
such as try to save her.
Can you boost the signal strength
- and send a command from here?
- Not in time.
I could take the shuttle.
Then we're only risking one life.
So now you've got a death wish?
The shuttle's too small. It
would get pulled down even faster.
Mr. Trust's idea is the only way.
We need to move Ark 1 into a lower orbit
- to send the command.
- My idea? I never said any such thing.
What about the electromagnetic field?
We'll just have to transmit the
code right before our comms turn off.
- Then what?
- And then we hope that the device turns off
with enough time for both arks to escape
Proxima's gravity before we crash.
So we either let more than
half the human race die
or risk all of humanity
trying to save them.
What do you think, Spence?
Well, I know deep down,
you want to try the rescue.
So far your gut has been right a lot.
Alicia, get the shutdown
code ready. Brice, take us in.
No! You're gonna kill us all!
That just never gets old.
Taking us in.
Shutdown command is ready.
We just need to get closer.
Yeah, I'm working on it.
We'll hit the magnetic
field event horizon in five,
- four, three
- Sending shutdown command.
(POWERING DOWN)
- Did it work?
- ALICIA: I I think.
But it's hard to say with our
systems fritzing like this.
- Whoo!
- (APPLAUSE)
Yeah, all right, all right.
Save your applause until
we've actually survived this.
Sensors say Ark 15 is online.
Ark 15, power up your engines and go!
A-ha! Looks like they heard you.
GARNET: Get us back to
orbit distance, Brice.
GARNET: We're clear of the
gravity from the planet.
All right, now you wankers can cheer.
(CLEARS THROAT)
How are you doing over there, Ark 15?
We're shaken, but we're okay.
I have so many questions.
Well, I think I can sum up the answers
by saying William Trust
is a worthless piece of excrement.
I think that answer
will suffice, lieutenant.
If the situation had been reversed,
I would have let you die.
I know.
EVELYN: Remember how I said
we could never be friends?
- Yeah?
- I think I was wrong.
And I'm never wrong.
I suppose there's a
first time for everything.
This is all happening fast.
So, what does this new peace
with Maddox mean exactly?
She attacked us, she destroyed Ark 3,
and her daughter murdered
members of our crew.
We put her daughter in a coma
and almost crashed their ship.
- That wasn't us.
- Maddox struck first.
Look, I'm not saying it's gonna be easy.
There's bad blood on both sides,
but for today, let's take this win.
I'd hardly call any outcome
where Evelyn lives a win.
Oi, oi, less talking, more science.
GARNET: Remember our deal, Mr. Trust.
Calculations are now complete.
- You're welcome.
- I've triple checked all the programming,
the math, all of it.
We're ready to spin up Proxima B.
Then let's make this planet a home.
Well, it's your life's work, Mr. Trust.
Would you care to do the honors?
You restore my faith in
humanity, Miss Nevins.
No, not this time. You do it, Alicia.
Initiating operating sequence.
Transmission received.
Confirming rotation device sync.
Planetary rotation devices online
- and functioning within parameters.
- Look.
Thank you, Mr. Trust.
Back to my cell?
Your genius knows no bounds. Strickland?
Um, what's that?
Oh, that's the
terminator, where sunlight
hits the dark side of the planet.
Yeah, but it's moving with the rotation.
- I mean, it almost looks like
- Fire.
No, no, no, no, no. Why didn't
I figure this out sooner?
- Alicia?
- The weird readings with the water
on the dark side of the planet.
Yeah, the water wasn't freezing.
Because it's not water.
It must be liquid methane.
Liquid methane has lower
freezing temperature than water.
And as it spins into the sunlight,
it's heating up and igniting.
So we found another planet
with continental fires?
Worse. The ocean on the
dark side of Proxima is deep.
When it heats up, it could detonate.
Shut down the rotation devices.
It's too late. Proxima
has already started
- to spin under its own inertia.
- So we're just gonna stand here
- and watch our new home explode?
- We can't stay!
This could be like a planet-sized bomb.
- FTL status?
- Still recharging.
- NEPS?
- Only at 50%.
I need you to get them to full power.
- I can't. Not from here.
- Go.
Brice, do what you can. Lane,
hail Ark 15 and tell them to go.
Here's hoping I didn't
use up all my miracles.
BRICE: We're not going fast enough, Eva.
We need the NEPS at
full power right now.
I can't magically make us go faster.
What about a double chemical burn?
I did it once on a lunar freighter.
You want me to double our U-238 load?
- That's insane!
- It's just for a few seconds
- till we clear the explosion.
- That could blow up the NEPS.
- I have to run calculations
- There's no time!
Listen, we do this right now or we die.
Initiating double chemical burn.
Engines are hot.
Everybody brace.
(SCREAMS)
(PANTING)
(LAUGHING)
- Nice flying, Brice.
- Yeah, good work, man.
Eva deserves just as
much credit as I do.
Hey, you.
- We did it.
- It was your crazy idea.
I feel bad I didn't figure
out the methane sooner.
You can't anticipate everything.
- (ALARM BLARING)
- Proximity alert?
- BRICE: Incoming!
- What the hell?
(CREW COUGHING)
Damage indicators on all decks!
Lane to med bay!
Dr. Kabir, prepare
for incoming patients.
Med bay!
Bridge to Engineering?
Brice to Eva?
Eva, respond.
Angus, was the bioshelter hit?
Angus! Angus, are you there?
No.
No, no, no, no, no.
Attention, all hands. Please respond!
Can anybody hear us? Please respond!
- Shipwide comms are down.
- The damage is right behind the bridge.
- We're isolated from the rest of the ark.
- It gets worse.
We're venting oxygen
here in the fore section.
I'm afraid we won't survive
this one, lieutenants.
(PANTING)
Maybe we will.
MADDOX: Ark 1, can you hear me?
Ark 15, we're badly damaged.
Not sure of the casualty
counts. How you doing?
We took no hits. We're
completely intact.
But I'm afraid, from here,
your ship looks very bad.
(STATIC)
Where'd she go?
I can't believe that
woman's our only hope.
She tried to blow us up twice,
and now the planet's done it for her.
My bet is she leaves us to die.
MADDOX: We're sending a
shuttle with rescue teams
and medical personnel.
- Thank you, Ms. Maddox.
- For what? I owe you.
(MUSIC PLAYING)
BRICE: Previously on "The Ark"
This is Lieutenant Garnet of Ark 1.
We have your spider DNA.
- Did you make it in?
- I'm in.
When will they realize we
gave them the wrong spider DNA?
- Brice!
- ALICIA: Can you see what other elements
they're combining with the
venom to create the cure?
Potassium, aluminum
sulfate in formaldehyde?
From these results, it
looks like the injection
had no effect whatsoever
on Brice's blood.
- I told you not to fall for me.
- Well, too late.
I hope that you and I will move
into a room together one day.
- Let's go.
- (SHOUTS)
We're almost at the shuttle bay.
We got a problem here, guys.
We can't seem to take off.
EVA: Someone has to
pull a release lever.
Okay, then where is that?
In the airlock, outside the shuttle.
- Someone has to stay behind.
- I'll stay.
- You need to get back to Ark 1.
- Don't die.
- You made it!
- ANGUS: Nice to see you, too.
I'm just I'm just really
happy you're all safe.
Good to see you, too, guys.
Felix, have someone take
Trust back to lockup.
Really? We're not past this?
You're going to need
my help with Evelyn.
- Where's Brice?
- Uh, med bay.
He's not doing well.
The Klampkins cure didn't work?
Lane?
Come on, man. You know I'm
not getting out of that brig.
(ALARM BLARING)
(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)
(GROANS)
(MUTTERING)
- Wait. What
- Try to relax.
- What happened?
- You don't remember?
I remember you gave me
the injection and, uh
Let me guess, it wasn't a cure.
I followed all of Ark 15's research.
- It should have worked.
- But it didn't.
- No!
- Just stay away from me.
Do not take it out on Dr. Kabir.
She's trying to help you.
I'm not angry at either of you, okay?
I'm angry at myself for ever believing
that this could actually work.
This is what I've been
trying to tell you.
Sometimes it's worse to have hope.
Lane to Ark 1.
Garnet?
Lane, tell me you're all right.
I would, but I promised
I'd never lie to you again.
Can you hid until we're
able to get over there?
No, no, no, you can't come back for me.
You need to charge your FTL and go.
Ark 15 will just chase us.
- Not if I destroy their FTL.
- If we leave, you'll be stranded on Ark 15.
- It's suicide.
- And your point is?
We've run the simulation five
times. It should have cured him.
- I don't know where I went wrong.
- Maybe you didn't.
- Maybe Ark 15's scientists screwed up.
- No, the science is sound.
The combined mixture should
neutralize the toxin in his blood.
All I can think is that maybe I
mixed the proportions incorrectly.
But I checked your work.
Not that I can't make a mistake, too.
- What happened to the spider venom?
- Oh, that can't be it.
- The venom's liquid.
- Wait, wait, wait.
Wait, wait, this is interesting.
"The Mediterranean
recluse spider's venom
decays upon exposure to helium."
But how would it have come
into contact with helium?
- (MUTTERING)
- The CO2 scrubbers that produce our oxygen
produce a byproduct of helium.
So our artificial air must have
a small amount of helium in it.
But apparently it's enough
to make the venom degrade?
The cure was never going to work because
the venom loses its potency
in the artificial atmosphere.
Okay, so we need to introduce
the venom to his bloodstream
without exposing it to the air.
We have to let the spiders
bite Lieutenant Brice.
Oi, wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait.
Tell me I'm still passed
out and this is a coma dream.
- Dr. Kabir is right.
- I know, but come on, man.
- Bite me?
- Are you afraid of spiders?
Oh, you you want to put
your hand in there, do you?
- Look at those things, man.
- I know they're terrifying,
but we don't know when
your next attack may occur.
- This may be the only way.
- Oh, come on.
(GROANS)
Okay, this is the first
two components of the serum.
Once your bitten, the pure
venom should catalyze them.
I'm sticking my hand
in there on a "should"?
It will. Probably.
(CLEARS THROAT)
- Lieutenant?
- Yeah. Sorry, no, I'm just, uh
I'm just questioning
my life choices here.
Hey, you can do it.
All right.
- Yep, I can't look.
- You can't look?
Right.
(GROANING)
Oh, I can feel their
evil little legs just
just crawling all over me, man.
Oh, they're really interested in you.
Oh, that one looks like it's
taking a nap on your finger.
- You're not helping, Nevins.
- Why aren't they biting?
Maybe we need to make them angry.
No, no, please don't. Please don't.
- (SCREAMING)
- It's working!
- They're biting!
- I know! I know they're biting!
How long do I have to
put up with this for?
Uh, yeah, that should be enough.
Thank you, thank you.
Thank you, Heavenly Father. Thank you.
Yeah, like you're never
afraid of anything.
I'm at the engine room.
GARNET: Okay, a standard crew rotation
has five techs on duty.
Yes, but I have the element of surprise.
STRICKLAND: There might be more
than five techs on the ship.
- Maybe we should rethink this plan.
- There's no time.
I'm going in.
- Hi.
- (ELECTRICITY CRACKLING)
Engine room secure.
Good work. How many were there?
Eh, about 10.
- (ALARM BLARING)
- What's that noise?
Alarms. Kelly called it
the most valuable tech
in the universe, remember?
- (ALARM STOPS)
- It's done.
Maddox can't follow you.
Now you need to get
out of there right now.
(STATIC)
- Lane?
- Spencer?
MADDOX: Mr. Lane can't talk right now.
But don't worry. I'll be in touch.
Hey.
You have to prepare
yourself for the inevitable.
- This isn't gonna work.
- Then why'd you let those spiders bite you?
Well, I just figured it
couldn't hurt, you know,
to face my one and only fear.
And why are you so afraid of hope?
It's not that, sweetheart.
What I'm afraid of is
seeing the look on your face
when they tell me it hasn't worked.
Alicia.
- Um, we have the results.
- And?
I want to caution you that this
is an experimental treatment
Please don't. Just
cut to the chase, okay?
Just tell me, how long do I have?
Is it an hour? Is it a week? What is it?
- Well
- You're cured.
- What?
- Cured might be an overstatement.
The toxin damaged your liver,
kidneys, and neurological system.
- Now, the liver
- Doc, come on.
- It worked.
- Yes.
It appears to have worked.
I'm sorry, what's worked?
There are no longer
any visible Klampkins
toxins in your blood.
The venom neutralized it.
Right.
- Are you okay?
- Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm so sorry, Doc.
Um, I think the cure's got
some funny side effects.
It's done something weird to my eyes.
- Eva?
- I'm
I'm fine, really, it's just
Brice? The cure?
Thank God.
How's he doing?
It's taking him a minute to process it,
but he's fine.
This is Garnet. All members of council,
please report to the
ready room immediately.
(CHATTERING)
GARNET: I can't tell you how
happy I am you're Klampkins-free.
Not as happy as me, mate.
It's all thanks to Dr. K.
Right, so what's so urgent?
Well, Dr. Kabir figuring out the
cure has put us on new ground.
We now have two things Maddox wants.
The Klampkins cure and Trust's
planetary rotation programming.
Exactly.
- We can make a trade.
- For Lane?
Yes, and maybe sharing the planet.
But we have to act fast before
they can repair their weapon.
Smart. Maddox takes the bait.
We stick a gun to her head the
second she steps out of the airlock.
No. That's why humanity is dying.
Everyone is acting
like Trust and Maddox.
We have to be better than them.
Absolutely not. I'll come over
there and take what I want.
GARNET: Let me stop you
right there, Evelyn.
Ms. Maddox.
Ms. Maddox, your doctors screwed up.
It took Ark 1's brilliant
doctor to figure out the cure.
She's now the only person in the galaxy
who can save your life.
You're lying. My doctors
So, if you want to live,
you'll agree to two simple conditions
releasing Lane to me
and sharing Proxima B.
I'll never agree to that.
Fine, Ark 1 will leave you here,
stranded with an incurable disease.
Our FTL will be charged in 30 seconds,
and I'm guessing yours can't charge.
Decide fast.
We can send a shuttle.
- Fine, I accept your terms.
- Excellent.
And in the meantime,
Lane better not be hurt.
Garnet out.
How will that woman double-cross us?
She won't.
How will that woman double-cross us?
Let's hope she doesn't.
So you actually think
that I'll spin up Proxima B
and share it with Evelyn?
I'm not sure why that's so amusing.
Because you made the deal
without consulting me.
Why would I consult you?
You have no choice in the matter.
Perhaps, but I have leverage.
I want my freedom.
And then I
Now that's amusing.
You have zero power here.
You can share your programming
with all of us, including Maddox,
or I can give her you.
Well, at least free Cat.
I mean, she doesn't deserve any of this.
- Please?
- Why do you care?
Because I talked her into
participating in my little mutiny.
She wouldn't have done it otherwise.
I'll consider it.
Unlike you, Cat regrets her actions,
and helped us figure out Maddox's plan.
I should be asking for
better living conditions.
Do you know how humiliating it
is to be escorted to the bathroom?
At least on Ark 15, they had the
decency to build a proper brig.
Yeah, you're the one who
built this ark, right?
Maybe you should've thought of that.
You're taking troops onto Ark 1?
You said Garnet's offer is sincere.
- It is. So now you're gonna screw her?
- I need the cure,
but I have no intention
of sharing Proxima B.
You know, for a genius,
you really are an idiot.
If Garnet is naive enough
to welcome me onto Ark 1,
I'd be a fool not to
use this opportunity.
Do you want to live or do
you want to destroy Ark 1?
Because you can't do both.
She'll give me whatever I want
with a gun or two to her head.
Maybe.
Or she would've assumed you would
pull something and prepared for it.
Look, I know her.
The only sure way to get what
you want is to honor the deal.
If this is gonna go south,
it's gonna happen right now.
The second she steps out,
I want you and a security
detail to sweep the shuttle.
Really wish we had more than
cattle prods and a hammer.
- Put your hands up, right now! Right now!
- Whoa, whoa, whoa!
It's just me, guys.
Welcome to Ark 1, Ms. Maddox.
- Please raise your hands.
- Is that really necessary?
I'm sure you understand. The road
to detente can sometimes be rocky.
- Detente?
- What else would you call it?
Give me my cure first,
and then we'll see.
Then I'm sure you won't mind
if we search your shuttle.
You should've left.
Yeah, I probably should have.
But I'm glad you didn't.
Just to be clear,
I am still mad at you, Spence.
It's a very different culture over here.
We have a stowaway.
How dare you bring this
woman onto our ship?
She murdered members of our crew.
I don't know what you
thought you were planning,
but the deal is off.
What were you thinking?
- I'm sorry, but
- Spit it out!
What's so important that you'd
risk blowing this exchange?
You. You're dying.
If the cure doesn't work, I
just I want to be with you.
Well, you may have
just ruined everything.
I'm sorry about this, Lieutenant.
Please forgive my daughter
her foolish sentimentality.
Daughter?
Don't mistake compassion for naiveté.
This is the last
surprise I will tolerate.
And you, if you want to be with
your mother, there are conditions.
- I have to get bitten?
- I know it's unorthodox,
but given the progress
of your Klampkins,
we don't have time to synthesize
a preservative for the venom.
- It sounds like a trap.
- I'm inclined to agree.
Uh, look, I am proof that
Dr. Kabir's cure works.
If you were ever sick
in the first place.
Oh, yeah, no. No, no, no.
I just let a load of spiders
bite the hell out of my hand
so I could fool you
into doing the same just,
- um, for a laugh, really.
- If I wanted to kill you,
I would have thrown
you out of the airlock.
Now that logic makes sense.
Look, it's just a few
seconds of excruciating pain
and then it's gonna be whoa, wow.
You just you went straight in.
Straight in with the hand.
She didn't even have to make them angry.
Well, there's no
surprises there, is there?
- Oh, God, I can't look.
- What happened to moral support?
I'm serious, I'm gonna be sick.
Can I go to the bathroom, please?
She clearly takes after her father.
Thank you. I couldn't watch, it was
Bathroom's just around the corner.
I won't make it.
As you can see, the
newly formed compound
has successfully attacked
the Klampkins molecules
and put them into remission.
- Is this real?
- Mm-hmm, yeah.
I'm cured? I'm not gonna die?
- Not of Klampkins.
- Now it's my turn to trust you.
I'm counting on you to keep our deal.
Once my doctors confirm
that this worked,
I'll keep my side of the
deal. We'll share the planet.
Kelly attacked Griff and ran.
What is your daughter planning?
Where's the farm boy?
I know I was only gone a day,
but I really missed you guys.
You would not have liked Ark 15.
- (ELECTRICITY CRACKLING)
- (SHOUTING)
(ANGUS GRUNTS)
I thought there was something
real growing between us.
- (GROANING)
- You used me.
After everything I did for you,
you threw it all away to
be here with these people?
To be with some stupid plants?
- (COUGHING)
- His plants are not stupid.
Angus! Angus! Oh, my God.
- Angus, are you okay?
- Thank you.
I I didn't hit her that hard, did I?
MADDOX: What did you do?
What?
What happened to my daughter?
It was an accident. Kelly, she just
It's my fault. Kelly came
for me. I protected myself.
- You did this?
- Yes.
If you hadn't saved my life,
this would have a
very different outcome.
I'm not hungry. Just put
the gruel in the corner.
I'm not the help, Will.
I thought I would never see you again.
- Me neither.
- (DOOR CLOSES)
But I heard I have you
to thank for my freedom.
Oh, it's the least I could do.
I'm sorry. For everything.
Did anyone say anything about Helena?
About a memorial?
No one on this ship gives a damn.
Well, Helena did lead a mutiny with you.
(KNOCK ON DOOR)
That's all the time they've given me.
But I'll check in on you again.
It's what Helena wanted.
Are you out of your
mind? Your wife just died.
Yes, I'm sorry.
(STAMMERING)
I guess I'm just desperate
for human contact.
Believe me, so am I.
I'm free, but I'm not free.
It's so obvious from the way
everyone stares that they hate me.
Right now, I just need a friend.
Sure, yeah. I think that's
probably what I need also.
Okay.
Ms. Maddox, she's
bleeding in her cranium.
I don't have the facilities
to perform brain surgery.
I do. I'll get Kelly back
to Ark 15 immediately.
- With your permission.
- Of course.
I hope she recovers, Ms.
Maddox, but you should know,
even with surgery, it's a long shot.
They said the same
thing about Klampkins.
- I'm very sorry about Kelly.
- So am I.
I almost hate to bring
it up right now, but
- Do we still have a deal?
- Yeah.
You and your people destroyed
my weapons and my FTL.
You put my daughter in a coma.
And how many of our people did you kill?
At the very least, we
could coexist as friends
without anymore killings?
Despite what you've heard about me,
I do keep my word, Lieutenant Garnet.
You get William to spin up that
planet, and we will share it.
But make no mistake, we
will never be friends.
Damn sensors. Won't
penetrate the atmosphere.
You look frustrated.
It's the data from Proxima.
Something doesn't make sense.
Look, the water on the
dark side isn't frozen.
So?
It's minus 20 on the dark side.
Maybe it has a super
high level of salinity?
That would keep it from freezing.
That's really smart.
You just gave me a whole
new way of looking at this.
Thank you. You're a lifesaver.
Please, you literally saved my life.
You covered for me.
That was really cool.
It was my fault for trusting Kelly.
- I was an idiot.
- I can relate.
I mean, I can't believe my
first kiss was with a murderer.
Mine, too.
(LAUGHS)
I guess we'll just have
to make our second kisses
that much more memorable.
Yeah, yeah, I really don't want to
mess up that second kiss.
Yeah, neither do I.
Uh
so show me more about Proxima B.
It's nice in here.
It's almost like a walk
in a park back on Earth.
Yeah, Earth before the solar storms,
carbonization, the ocean swells.
How I remember it as a kid.
I think I need to start being
a little bit nicer to plant boy.
He did do a good job.
You could start by using his real name
instead of calling him plant boy.
Yeah, well, let's let's
not go crazy, shall we?
Where is Angus?
I might have asked him to, uh,
give us the place to ourselves.
Oh. So this is a date.
Well, you know, if you have to ask,
- I'm obviously doing it wrong.
- No, you're not.
Sorry, I just have a lot on my mind.
Hey, like what?
We've somehow managed to make
friends with the crazy lady.
- We've cured my Klampkins.
- A lot can still go wrong.
And now who's afraid of hope?
This ship is fragile.
Hey. Hey, listen to me.
If there's anybody who
can keep this ship going,
it's Alicia.
I'm serious. She's a very,
very intelligent girl.
- So how was the biodome?
- Oh, right, there she goes. Very nice, thank you.
Um, so I was wondering if
if I could come back onto the bridge.
Why wouldn't you be welcome
on the bridge, Lieutenant Lane?
I mean, I think you've more
than re-earned your commission.
- Agreed?
- Yeah, I think he's earned it.
I'll only accept on one condition.
Brice has to agree to start
referring to you as Captain Garnet.
Because that's what
I'd prefer to call you.
Yeah, I think she's earned it.
Okay, okay, I'm honored, guys,
but let's make these decisions
after we've settled a bit.
Fill us in.
The science behind my neodymium
magnet rig is actually quite simple.
Evelyn already deployed them
along the planet's equator.
Now, once activated, they
create a magnetic field,
which puts pressure on Proxima's poles,
forcing the planet to rotate.
So it's all just done
with frigging magnets?
Very powerful magnets.
ALICIA: It's kind of a brilliant way
to utilize a planet's magnetic poles.
So once your device
jump-starts Proxima's rotation,
- inertia makes it self-sustaining, right?
- Yes.
And you're sure it will work?
I've never been surer of anything.
Then turn it on.
Gladly.
You may want to put some
distance between us and Ark 15.
Things could get a bit
turbulent in terms of gravity.
Don't want to have us
crashing into each other.
That's good. Now watch the magic happen.
It doesn't appear to be working.
The planet isn't spinning up.
Be patient.
Wait for it. It takes time.
MADDOX: Garnet, what have you done?
- What do you mean, Ms. Maddox?
- I knew you'd double-cross me.
- I don't know what you mean.
- Oh, my God, look!
They're getting too close to the planet.
They'll get trapped in its gravity
and sucked down if they don't move away.
Evelyn, you're moving
too close to the planet.
MADDOX: I'm not doing that. You are!
- What have you done?
- He only turned on one of the devices
and aimed its magnetic field at Ark 15.
It's dragging the ship
down to Proxima's surface.
- The crash will kill them!
- Well, it's a shame
that Evelyn didn't have someone
as smart as you on Ark 15.
How can you be so cold-blooded?
Well, I don't see the problem.
Once Evelyn is dead, I'll
actually spin up Proxima
and we'll have the planet to ourselves.
Everybody wins.
You've really convinced yourself
you're the good guy, haven't you?
Evelyn Maddox and that kid of hers
are responsible for Helena's death.
There is no way in hell
I would let them live,
let alone share my planet.
MADDOX: I thought you might
double-cross me, Garnet.
But I never thought you'd
kill everyone on my ship.
There are innocent people here!
You're gonna kill 400 people
who had nothing to do
with your wife's death?
- And how many people of yours did she kill?
- Her crew are innocent.
Her crew chose to follow Evelyn,
and that makes them complicit.
GARNET: For all we know,
Ark 15 is more than half
of what's left of the human race.
Are there more than 150
living people on Ark 1?
- Yes.
- Then since we instituted genetic diversity protocols,
that's enough to restart humanity.
You are truly one sick individual.
They have less than five
minutes until impact.
Ark 1 to Ark 15, do you copy?
The EM field knocked out some of
their systems, including comms.
Wipe that stupid smile off your face
- and stop this right now!
- Even if I wanted to,
and I really don't, it's impossible.
We'd have to transmit the shutdown code
to the rotation device on the surface.
- Then do it.
- Not from this distance.
We'd have to move Ark
1 closer to Proxima.
That's why you had me move us away.
And let me guess, we get closer,
and we get caught in the gravity, too.
And the magnetic field,
which would shut us down like Ark 15.
You really thought this
through, didn't you?
Well, I couldn't have
you do anything foolish,
such as try to save her.
Can you boost the signal strength
- and send a command from here?
- Not in time.
I could take the shuttle.
Then we're only risking one life.
So now you've got a death wish?
The shuttle's too small. It
would get pulled down even faster.
Mr. Trust's idea is the only way.
We need to move Ark 1 into a lower orbit
- to send the command.
- My idea? I never said any such thing.
What about the electromagnetic field?
We'll just have to transmit the
code right before our comms turn off.
- Then what?
- And then we hope that the device turns off
with enough time for both arks to escape
Proxima's gravity before we crash.
So we either let more than
half the human race die
or risk all of humanity
trying to save them.
What do you think, Spence?
Well, I know deep down,
you want to try the rescue.
So far your gut has been right a lot.
Alicia, get the shutdown
code ready. Brice, take us in.
No! You're gonna kill us all!
That just never gets old.
Taking us in.
Shutdown command is ready.
We just need to get closer.
Yeah, I'm working on it.
We'll hit the magnetic
field event horizon in five,
- four, three
- Sending shutdown command.
(POWERING DOWN)
- Did it work?
- ALICIA: I I think.
But it's hard to say with our
systems fritzing like this.
- Whoo!
- (APPLAUSE)
Yeah, all right, all right.
Save your applause until
we've actually survived this.
Sensors say Ark 15 is online.
Ark 15, power up your engines and go!
A-ha! Looks like they heard you.
GARNET: Get us back to
orbit distance, Brice.
GARNET: We're clear of the
gravity from the planet.
All right, now you wankers can cheer.
(CLEARS THROAT)
How are you doing over there, Ark 15?
We're shaken, but we're okay.
I have so many questions.
Well, I think I can sum up the answers
by saying William Trust
is a worthless piece of excrement.
I think that answer
will suffice, lieutenant.
If the situation had been reversed,
I would have let you die.
I know.
EVELYN: Remember how I said
we could never be friends?
- Yeah?
- I think I was wrong.
And I'm never wrong.
I suppose there's a
first time for everything.
This is all happening fast.
So, what does this new peace
with Maddox mean exactly?
She attacked us, she destroyed Ark 3,
and her daughter murdered
members of our crew.
We put her daughter in a coma
and almost crashed their ship.
- That wasn't us.
- Maddox struck first.
Look, I'm not saying it's gonna be easy.
There's bad blood on both sides,
but for today, let's take this win.
I'd hardly call any outcome
where Evelyn lives a win.
Oi, oi, less talking, more science.
GARNET: Remember our deal, Mr. Trust.
Calculations are now complete.
- You're welcome.
- I've triple checked all the programming,
the math, all of it.
We're ready to spin up Proxima B.
Then let's make this planet a home.
Well, it's your life's work, Mr. Trust.
Would you care to do the honors?
You restore my faith in
humanity, Miss Nevins.
No, not this time. You do it, Alicia.
Initiating operating sequence.
Transmission received.
Confirming rotation device sync.
Planetary rotation devices online
- and functioning within parameters.
- Look.
Thank you, Mr. Trust.
Back to my cell?
Your genius knows no bounds. Strickland?
Um, what's that?
Oh, that's the
terminator, where sunlight
hits the dark side of the planet.
Yeah, but it's moving with the rotation.
- I mean, it almost looks like
- Fire.
No, no, no, no, no. Why didn't
I figure this out sooner?
- Alicia?
- The weird readings with the water
on the dark side of the planet.
Yeah, the water wasn't freezing.
Because it's not water.
It must be liquid methane.
Liquid methane has lower
freezing temperature than water.
And as it spins into the sunlight,
it's heating up and igniting.
So we found another planet
with continental fires?
Worse. The ocean on the
dark side of Proxima is deep.
When it heats up, it could detonate.
Shut down the rotation devices.
It's too late. Proxima
has already started
- to spin under its own inertia.
- So we're just gonna stand here
- and watch our new home explode?
- We can't stay!
This could be like a planet-sized bomb.
- FTL status?
- Still recharging.
- NEPS?
- Only at 50%.
I need you to get them to full power.
- I can't. Not from here.
- Go.
Brice, do what you can. Lane,
hail Ark 15 and tell them to go.
Here's hoping I didn't
use up all my miracles.
BRICE: We're not going fast enough, Eva.
We need the NEPS at
full power right now.
I can't magically make us go faster.
What about a double chemical burn?
I did it once on a lunar freighter.
You want me to double our U-238 load?
- That's insane!
- It's just for a few seconds
- till we clear the explosion.
- That could blow up the NEPS.
- I have to run calculations
- There's no time!
Listen, we do this right now or we die.
Initiating double chemical burn.
Engines are hot.
Everybody brace.
(SCREAMS)
(PANTING)
(LAUGHING)
- Nice flying, Brice.
- Yeah, good work, man.
Eva deserves just as
much credit as I do.
Hey, you.
- We did it.
- It was your crazy idea.
I feel bad I didn't figure
out the methane sooner.
You can't anticipate everything.
- (ALARM BLARING)
- Proximity alert?
- BRICE: Incoming!
- What the hell?
(CREW COUGHING)
Damage indicators on all decks!
Lane to med bay!
Dr. Kabir, prepare
for incoming patients.
Med bay!
Bridge to Engineering?
Brice to Eva?
Eva, respond.
Angus, was the bioshelter hit?
Angus! Angus, are you there?
No.
No, no, no, no, no.
Attention, all hands. Please respond!
Can anybody hear us? Please respond!
- Shipwide comms are down.
- The damage is right behind the bridge.
- We're isolated from the rest of the ark.
- It gets worse.
We're venting oxygen
here in the fore section.
I'm afraid we won't survive
this one, lieutenants.
(PANTING)
Maybe we will.
MADDOX: Ark 1, can you hear me?
Ark 15, we're badly damaged.
Not sure of the casualty
counts. How you doing?
We took no hits. We're
completely intact.
But I'm afraid, from here,
your ship looks very bad.
(STATIC)
Where'd she go?
I can't believe that
woman's our only hope.
She tried to blow us up twice,
and now the planet's done it for her.
My bet is she leaves us to die.
MADDOX: We're sending a
shuttle with rescue teams
and medical personnel.
- Thank you, Ms. Maddox.
- For what? I owe you.
