The Ark (2023) s02e08 Episode Script

Previously on "The Ark"
I used to drink this stuff with my old man
back in the days of NASA.
He went to the moon base
a few times.
He died there when the Eastern Federation
sabotaged it.
The GSA was still at war with
the Eastern Federation when we left Earth.
We received
a distress call from Ark 8.
but there were Gen-3s onboard.
And one by one
they became violent.
to adjust your implants.
Kelly, what are you
break her neck.
You have the power to stop this.
and only I can access them.
operative hunters.
Are you saying Lati
went after Eva because
- Eva is Eastern Federation.
- It is true.
I know Lati made
a horrible mistake.
have gone down that way,
but we did expose Eva
as an Eastern Federation
operative.
Yeah, definitely deserve
points for that one.
From now on, there will be
no more unauthorized
or secret investigations
of my crew without my knowledge.
Is that clear, Kimi?
- Crystal.
- Now, I need you to share anything else
your investigation uncovered
and I also need to know if you suspect
anyone else of being Eastern Federation.
to speak with you privately.
Fine. Seven years ago,
the Eastern Federation
launched a successful assault
on the lunar colony.
187 people were killed.
happened on the lunar base.
My father died in that attack.
Where is this going, Kimi?
I have reason to believe
that Lieutenant Brice
was the pilot
on a covert mission
to intercept the attack
on the lunar base,
and that he intentionally
threw the mission
in service
of the Eastern Federation.
- What evidence do you have?
My best friend Maurisa Yi
but take a look at this.
They look pretty chummy to me.
Maurisa was killed
in the resulting crash,
but obviously,
Lieutenant Brice survived.
With my clearance I was able to access
The next day, he was demoted two ranks
and suspended from duty.
Is this true?
this whole time?
You had the chance
to save my father
and 186 other people,
Lane.
Spence!
Just for the record,
My father is still dead.
Please, can I just explain?
what he has to say. Go on.
I was given a classified mission
to stop the attack on the lunar base,
just like Kimi said.
the way she said.
So then how did it go down?
a young student, Maurisa Yi.
We worked well together,
so on the day of the mission,
the GSA assigned her
as my co-pilot.
- No.
The mission was to fly
into the middle
of the attacking
Federation fighter craft
detonate a bomb, and destroy them all
in one explosion.
It was a suicide mission.
Fine by me, you know?
I believed I was dying
of Klampkins anyway,
so why not?
But nobody had bothered
telling Maurisa.
And she was young, you know?
She had a family.
She had everything
to live for. So I
and let her die.
So I went off book,
and I started shooting down
all the enemy fighter craft
one by one, just trying
just trying not to get myself
and Maurisa blown up.
So you were trying to save her?
- And the colony.
- You disobeyed orders.
I just took a risk, Sharon.
I was trying to save everybody.
- But I failed.
- And yet somehow only you survived,
- It was classified, Spence.
I probably should have told you.
How do you want to handle this?
He needs to be locked up.
demoted two ranks
and lived with this for his entire life.
scot-free, Garnet.
The GSA investigators
thought demotion
was the proper disciplinary action.
- Spence, I know
- Stay out of my sight.
You have to promise not to make a big deal
a birth control implant.
- You and Angus?
- Shh, shh, shh, shh.
You promised
not to make it weird.
Sorry, sorry. Okay.
Have a seat. Have a seat.
Just a quick
there you go.
- and that you two are
- Please stop smiling like that.
Sorry. Um, okay.
Well, it is quiet in here right now,
to give you a quick checkup.
Could Lati have planted anything else
to your plants then.
Actually, there
there was something else.
Lati did have one good idea.
I need a second opinion.
- Oh.
the safety of the product?
Well, I suppose
- Cheers!
- Cheers!
Good.
- Am I interrupting?
- Hey.
No, no, no.
Just finishing up here.
Hey, what happened to you?
- The
- Oh, uh, yeah.
Got a beating from someone who was well
within their rights to give it to me.
Eva?
Oh. Sorry.
I wanted to you talk about.
But you guys have worked
together so closely.
I mean, like, did she ever say anything?
Did she ever do
Let me just take this back.
Give me two minutes, okay?
Yeah, sure.
Hey, what
What the hell is going on?
Play nicely and nobody
needs to get hurt.
Sash
The mission was classified.
Hey, maybe take a second,
cool off.
What the hell is that?
- Clean this up.
-
We should be able to breathe
without masks.
- How much time before they start waking up?
- About eight hours.
Drop us out of FTL.
Set a course
for our new destination.
The bio shelter is the only area
of the ship in lockdown.
Strickland to Garnet, the bio shelter is locked down.
Please advise.
We have to find a way
to force the door.
Wait. Wait, wait, wait!
The environment of the bio shelter
has a separate air supply
- from the rest of the ship
to keep the plants safe. - From what?
in the rest of the ship.
Alicia, do you read?
Alicia, please respond.
Lieutenant Lane, respond.
Lieutenant Brice?
Hey, wake up.
Come on! Come on!
How did you
That was incredibly dangerous.
Well, it woke you up last time.
Why is everyone unconscious?
Everyone in the corridors
and the open rooms,
Garnet must have turned on
Did you see anything
to tell you what caused this?
something in the air?
Like a fog or a powder
or something.
Might be Ditroxflurane.
One sec.
One sec.
No, no, no.
They took all of it.
Ditroxflurane
is a powerful sedative.
to come through the air ducts.
We need to wake up Alicia.
She might be able
to figure out who did this.
No, no!
Much smaller dose.
by giving her a heart attack.
What did you do?
- Nothing.
Someone used the air system
to sedate everyone aboard.
- She came here to wake us up.
Any word from the bridge?
Is anyone still awake there?
- I was hoping you could figure that out.
- The new bridge has cameras.
- Whoa.
- What was that?
We just dropped out of FTL.
the cameras on the bridge.
- Those are all Ark 8 clones.
- We saved them. Why would they do this?
reached Engineering yet.
I could go there
and take control.
Someone locked the bulkhead
in Engineering.
- I can see three heat signatures.
- Guarding it.
The life support
Sub-Engineering deck is clear.
We could go there
and take control of the ship.
When will people
start waking up?
Could be as long as eight hours
before the sedative wears off.
- Can we can just give everyone one of those shots?
- That would take forever.
one at a time to do it. - So what do we do?
Use the same delivery system
they did.
I can formulate an antidote that
I can put in the air system,
Dr. Marsh can help me.
You two see if you can make it
to Sub-Engineering.
watching your back.
Fine. Come on.
- What happened?
- I need your help.
The Sub-Engineering
- You stay here.
- You sure?
You can come out now.
- More Ark 8 clones.
- I can see that.
- You okay?
- Yeah.
We need to find a way
to stop them. Come on.
Oh, good. Brice, Sasha!
is gonna sound crazy,
- but everyone is unconscious.
- It was Milos.
Saw him put something
in the life support system.
- Helping.
- She fought my way in here.
- Captain Garnet activated my implants.
- Safe in her room,
probably unconscious
like everyone else.
I mean, for all we know
she had something to do with this.
Oh, for the love of God, Alicia,
you know her better than anybody.
she was Eastern Fed.
My mentor was killed by one
who was a plant in my old lab.
This has nothing to do with
the Eastern Federation, right?
- This is about the clones.
- Stop arguing!
You already said they dropped us out of FTL
and changed course.
Guys, we can pilot the ship from here,
but we need Eva to rig it.
are between us and Eva.
of handling this.
to this computer.
- Damn!
It looks like
the FTL is charging.
- How long does that give us?
Do you remember when
we had to propel the ship
If me and Sash can get to the shuttle,
then maybe we can
We can use it to knock the ship off
of its new course.
to go back to FTL
- until they recalculate it.
- Yeah.
If they do,
we just move it again.
- Exactly.
- Great. Go.
some time on the computer.
- You gonna be all right?
- Yeah.
how to hack a system.
Someone is trying
to unlock the system
from the life support sub-level.
Go.
- Did you hear that?
Keep working.
There were three of them.
I neutralized them.
Does that mean you killed them?
Finish what you were working on.
- Good.
Kelly!
Good morning, sunshine.
What happened?
Just a little sedative.
Sorry I had to
let you take the heat
for that explosion
that killed the Gen-3s.
You blew up Ark 8?
in here for too long.
You are one of the few people
I actually trust.
How did you pull off a trigger mechanism
that advanced?
about me, cousin.
prisoners again.
Well, hold on. I mean,
they saved our lives.
They already locked you up. How long do you think
the rest of us would have?
Well, you do have a point.
to our planet.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- I think you have a fever.
- Dr. Marsh said my organs might fail
if I was activated for too long.
You just need to hang on.
Get some rest.
Freedom.
A chance to establish
our own rules.
No clone will ever be
a second-class citizen again.
Well, sounds like it might
actually be worth the wait.
- Well worth it.
- What?
- Whoever was trying to break my hack
from the life support
sub-level succeeded.
My controls are frozen.
Contact Nico and the others
in life support sub-level.
Nico, come in.
Nico?
- Do something, Duro.
- Well, get back in!
If we leave, we risk
contaminating the plants
or getting
knocked out ourselves.
I bet Garnet has a plan.
She always does.
to see what it is.
Strickland to Garnet,
Maybe something happened
to her WD.
She could still be
on the bridge.
This is Strickland to Bridge.
Captain Garnet, do you copy?
Thanks for letting us know
The transmission came
from the bio shelter.
Go to the bio shelter.
- Okay, ready for the antitoxin.
- Yes.
All right.
This should activate
the binding agent.
an airborne antidote on such short notice.
I never had
to construct one period.
The formula seems
to be balancing well.
We make a good team.
to disperse it,
- Perfect.
- Uh, we have a problem.
- What?
I was going to use biotalc
as the transport powder for the liquid,
We must be able
to use something else.
Not that I would have
in enough bulk.
Angus must use diatomaceous
earth in the bio shelter.
- We can use some of that.
- But how do we get it?
Anyone awake in the bio shelter?
- Yes! Angus, how are you awake?
The air system is isolated
in here to protect the plants.
Angus, do you have
any diatomaceous earth?
- Uh, tons. Why?
- I need you to bring me some.
- Dr. Kabir, we have
- Felix? Oh, thank God!
no way to get to you
without exposing ourselves and the plants
to the toxin in the air.
the bio shelter safely.
Then how much diatomaceous
earth do you need?
- How much you got? - A lot.
- Okay, well, bring it.
Oh, damn it.
You know, I used to actually get excited
about flying this thing?
my gran out for a walk.
when she feels like it.
- So, no luck, huh?
- Well, I mean,
Alicia bought us some time
with the computer shutdown,
of the shuttle system as well.
Hey, what about the EF shuttle?
No, the Ark 1 attachment is jury-rigged
to fit a GSA coupling.
It would snap right off.
- So is there another way?
- Yeah, maybe.
If we can bypass the failsafe, then we can
just take manual control, right?
- Yeah.
- Get to the back.
Prep the engines
for a cold start.
Gonna do this
the old-fashioned way.
Anja, Karim, is it done?
There is no one here.
How do we get in?
Well, without the command codes,
- Are they stored somewhere?
- Not likely.
Look, there is a way,
but you might not like it.
- Spit it out.
- If anyone has the command codes,
I believe in clone solidarity.
Well, at least first
and second generation.
Is that what this is about?
Some kind of clone uprising?
including you and him.
that you and I are very similar.
I just wanna make sure
my people are safe,
with you in charge.
Not to mention, I rescued you.
Yeah, but you were also
gonna rescue them crazed Gen-3s,
have raised some doubts
about your
decision-making skills.
That was you
who slaughtered them?
You locked up the wrong clone.
we go to the bridge,
work something out?
What about Lane?
before they wake up.
Why would I help you
Fine. Stay in here.
Milos is doing this
for all of us.
- Doing what exactly?
- This is our ship now.
We needed to make sure
that your crew
to interfere with our plans.
- We have a new destination.
- Where?
- We can get into all that,
but first I need
your command codes.
You see, some pesky Ark 1 member
seems to have locked us out.
- Both.
If you just give me a chance,
can get what they want.
the wrong side for so long
for what it is.
I just want to protect my crew.
And I want the same for mine,
after everything
we clones have endured,
something you know about
more about than most.
never let it happen again.
We were experimented on,
tortured,
mined for parts by the GSA,
and now you want us to
put our trust in a GSA crew?
- We saved your lives.
Truly. But we will never put our lives in
especially not some GSA pawn.
Unlock the controls.
- No.
- Let me make myself clear.
to the computer system,
kill Lieutenant Lane
where he lies in your cabin.
Lieutenant Lane
or your stubborn belief
in the GSA? Huh?
- Go kill him.
- Fine, fine.
- No!
- No!
- What the hell did you do?
- You know what I did?
I triggered a ship-wide lockdown,
every bulkhead in this place.
into the computers.
What good does this do?
to get to any of my crew
already with them.
You need to drop this self-righteous act.
You have more in common with the Gen-3s you killed
Those clones were deranged.
I am nothing like them.
Look around.
You sure about that?
Tie her up.
We may still need her.
- The engine has been prepped for manual flight.
- Atta boy, Sash. Atta boy.
Right, here we go.
Moment of truth.
No, no, no, no. Wait.
Lucky charm.
Systems are a go.
the little detour.
changing our course.
- How is that possible?
- Someone gained control of the shuttle.
- Damn it!
You think this is funny? Hmm?
Like when you had me
locked up like a dog?
I bet you had a right laugh,
- I should kill you right now.
- Ian, stand down.
I said, stand down!
Fine.
Do whatever it takes
to regain control of the ship.
Oi! Find a way out of here.
We need to stop
this without you.
without the delivery powder.
Angus and Felix
must be stuck somewhere.
The emergency med code should give us
access to the rest of the ship.
Okay.
initiated the lockdown
or my code would be working.
some help over here.
The antidote is done,
but we need to be able
to get it to you
and we need Angus and Felix
to be able to get to us.
in corridor 23-J.
I may be able to unlock the doors
between here and med bay.
but I need a second.
I need to find a vulnerability
in the encryption.
Tell Dr. Marsh
I can help as soon
as I get there.
Her organs might be failing, but her implants
have not been on for that long.
What about her nanites?
Her nanites are the only reason
longer without my medical help.
to the life support sub-level,
with the dio-earth.
I have to go now.
- But just wait
- Special delivery.
Oh! Thank you! Thank you!
way off course.
- Yep.
Nothing to do now but just wait for them
to try and stop us.
Yeah.
longer than anybody.
Did you have any idea
she was Eastern Federation?
- Well, yeah, I know, mate,
being on the wrong side of things.
- Hey.
- Okay, okay, okay!
Uh, Alicia?
Kind of need you.
Oh, oh. Yeah, sorry.
This way.
Kelly, can you hear me?
Okay.
What the hell are they doing?
signatures all over the ship.
- Meaning? How is that possible?
- People are waking up.
for another four hours.
- You helped her?
Ian!
Thanks.
Sorry it took so long.
Had to wait for the right
opportunity to show my hand.
No apology necessary.
who should be apologizing
to you for doubting you.
Her vitals are severely low.
The implants were activated
for too long,
far longer than her body
has ever endured.
to turn off her implants sooner.
- Will she be okay?
to be working as quickly as I expected.
Go ahead. Yell at me.
Thank you.
more alone in my life.
You see, the thing is,
how you could be evil.
I refuse to believe that.
So EF, GSA, whatever,
I love you.
And quite frankly,
you could turn purple
Purple? Really?
Oh, Garnet,
what a pleasant surprise.
You know, I was just about
to curl up with a good book.
You know, I got the best
Head of engineering.
you trusted me.
but the truth is
to take over for Eva.
- Thank you.
By the way, you never had that bathtub
I requested installed.
you can take a shower
at the end of the hall
like the rest of us.
I do not bathe myself
among the unclean masses.
one of the unclean masses.
William Trust,
Head of Engineering. Hmm.
Is it fixable?
Yes, but maybe we just stick with the keypad
on the outside from now on?
Just patch the hole.
As your doctor, I have to warn you all
to drink conservatively.
And as your other doctor,
I say enjoy.
- I choose what Dr. Marsh said.
- Nice.
Well, Lieutenant Lane has asked me
to make alcoholic beverages for a while.
have listened to me
at a better time,
because I need a drink.
- The toast!
- To Ark 1!
To Ark 1!
What the hell is that?
And their weapons
are targeting us.
