The Outer Limits (1995) s04e23 Episode Script

1 PREVIOUSLY ON THE OUTER LIMITES TELL ME WHO KNOWS WHAT AN INTRON IS? INTRONS ARE THE EXTRA GENETIC MATERIAL IN OUR DNA THAT HAVEN'T BEEN MAPPED BECAUSE THEY DON'T SEEM TO CODE FOR ANYTHING.
I HAVE DEVELOPED A RETRO-VIRAL ACTIVATOR THAT ACTIVATES INTRONS.
I HAVE IN MY HAND THE KEY TO OUR FUTURE SELVES.
YOU'RE SURE ABOUT YOUR GENETIC TEST? TREMORS WILL TAKE OVER.
A FEW YEARS AFTER THAT, MY LIVER'S GOING TO GO.
YOU'VE SPENT THE PAST 20 YEARS MAKING OBSCURE DISCOVERIES THAT WILL NOT CHANGE THE WORLD.
THAT'S NICE.
YOU MISSED OUT, DAD.
YOU'RE MISSING LIFE'S GREAT ADVENTURE.
IT IS PASSING YOU BY.
I'M EVOLVING.
THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING.
AS YOU KNOW, THERE ARE ONLY EIGHT PEOPLE THAT I'M CHOOSING FOR THE RESEARCH.
THERE ARE VERY SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR THIS STUDY.
( laughing ) I AM SO HAPPY TO SEE ALL OF YOU.
I HOPE I HAVEN' KEPT YOU WAITING TOO LONG.
THIS IS MY SON PAUL.
THIS IS HIS GIRLFRIEND HOPE.
WHAT IS IT? I WAS HOPING YOU'D TELL ME, DOCTOR.
DAD! GET BACK! DAD! DAD! YOU'RE THE FINAL RESULT OF OUR GREAT EXPERIMENT IN HOPE.
WE SEEDED YOUR PLANE WITH OUR OWN GENETIC MATERIAL TO CONTINUE OUR RACE IN YOU.
WE KNEW WHEN YOU REACHED THE APPROPRIATE LEVEL OF INTELLIGENCE, YOU WOULD ACTIVATE THE REMAINDER OF OUR EXPERIMEN IN YOUR OWN DNA.
THAT IN TURN WOULD LEAD YOU TO THIS CRAFT.
AT THAT TIME, YOU WOULD RETURN, REPORT TO US, TELL US OF YOUR WORLD AS IT EVOLVED, WITHOUT OUR INTERFERENCE.
IF YOU HAVE DONE AS WE INTENDED, THIS SHOULD BE THE ONE WHO HAS TRANSFORMED AND EIGHT MORE, GOOD EXAMPLES OF WHAT OUR SEED HAS WROUGHT, YOUNG AND HEALTHY ENOUGH TO WITHSTAND THE JOURNEY, USING THIS VESSEL THAT YOU SEE BEFORE YOU NOW.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO WELCOMING YOU BACK HOME.
THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS.
THEY COULD HAVE LEFT THAT MESSAGE AS MUCH AS 60 MILLION YEARS AGO.
THEY COULD BE DEAD OR GONE.
THEY COULD HAVE FORGOTTEN ABOUT THE EXPERIMENT.
NOW I INTEND TO GO.
BUT I CAN'T EXPECT ANY OF YOU TO JOIN ME.
THAT DECISION HAS TO BE ENTIRELY YOURS.
WHEN DO WE GO? ( Control Voice ) AND NOW THE STORY CONTINUES.
PAUL? IT'S OKAY! MY DAD KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING.
( whistling ) WELL, AH THAT WAS QUITE REFRESHING.
THAT WAS INCREDIBLE.
I CAN'T BELIEVE WE MADE IT.
WE HAVEN'T YET.
ALL RIGHT, SETTLE DOWN.
WE ARE NOT THROUGH YET.
DR.
NODEL, CAN YOU TELL US WHERE WE'RE GOING? DO YOU KNOW WHERE WE'RE GOING? THE FIRST PERSON WHO SAYS, "ARE WE THERE YET?" GETS TO WALK HOME.
PAY ATTENTION.
THIS ADVENTURE IS JUST BEGINNING.
EONS AGO, THE ANCESTORS OF OUR RACE FORESAW ( moaning ) DAD.
A GREAT DANGER.
( moaning ) DAD, WHAT'S THE MATTER? I CANNOT, PAUL, I CAN'T MY BODY I CAN'T LET GO! DAD! PAUL! PAUL! AH! NO! ( Control Voice ) THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOUR TELEVISION.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ADJUS THE PICTURE.
WE ARE NOW CONTROLLING THE TRANSMISSION.
WE CONTROL THE HORIZONTAL, AND THE VERTICAL.
WE CAN DELUGE YOU WITH A THOUSAND CHANNELS OR EXPAND ONE SINGLE IMAGE TO CRYSTAL CLARITY AND BEYOND.
WE CAN SHAPE YOUR VISION TO ANYTHING OUR IMAGINATION CAN CONCEIVE.
FOR THE NEXT HOUR, WE WILL CONTROL ALL THAT YOU SEE AND HEAR.
( ) YOU ARE ABOUT TO EXPERIENCE THE AWE AND MYSTERY WHICH REACHES FROM THE DEEPEST INNER MIND TO THE OUTER LIMITS.
( Control voice ) THROUGHOUT THE AGES, HUMANS HAVE LOOKED TO THE HEAVENS AND WONDERED WHERE DID WE COME FROM AND WHERE ARE WE GOING? BUT WILL WE FIND THOSE ANSWERS IN THE STARS OR IN OURSELVES? WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON HERE? THEY'RE GONE.
I KNEW THIS WAS A MISTAKE.
HOPE, IT'S GOING TO BE OKAY.
LET IT GO, JUST LET IT GO.
IT'S GOING TO BE OKAY.
HOPE, PLEASE JUST SAY SOMETHING.
WE ARE SCREWED! WE MUST HAVE BEEN CRAZY, JUMPING INTO A 60-MILLION-YEAR-OLD SPACESHIP LIKE IT WAS A SCHOOL BUS! LIKE IT'S A FIELD TRIP! KIRBY, SHUT UP.
WHAT WILL WE DO? I SAID SHUT UP! GUYS, WE HAVE COME TOO FAR TO LET THIS FALL APART NOW.
DR.
NODEL WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO KNEW WHAT WAS GOING ON.
WE CAN'T CONTROL THE SHIP WITHOUT HIM.
WE DON'T HAVE TO CONTROL IT.
THE SHIP IS PROGRAMMED TO TAKE US TO THE ALIENS' HOME PLANET.
WE JUST SIT BACK THEN WHAT? ENJOY THE RIDE? LOOK WHERE THAT GOT HIM.
LOOK, DR.
NODEL KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING.
HE KNEW THA TOUCHING THAT THING WAS GOING TO KILL HIM? OH, GOD! OH, NO! WE'RE BREAKING APART! WHAT WAS THAT? THE WALLS.
THEY'RE MOVING.
WHERE DID THA COME FROM? WHAT IS THAT? MY GOD, THIS IS INCREDIBLE.
THAT'S AN UNDERSTATEMENT.
THE SHIP OPENED UP FOR A REASON.
WE MUS FIGURE OUT WHY.
DEFINITELY.
ARE YOU CRAZY? YOU SAW WHAT HAPPENED TO DR.
NODEL.
THIS IS AN OLD SHIP.
WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM MIGHT HAVE BEEN A MALFUNCTION.
MALFUNCTION? THE SHIP MURDERED THEM.
YOU DON'T KNOW THAT.
MAYBE NOT, BU WHAT IF SHE'S RIGHT? THAT'S THE LAST PLACE WE SHOULD GO.
I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THE ALIENS WOULD GET US ONTO THE SHIP JUST TO KILL US OFF ONCE WE GOT IN HERE.
DR.
NODEL WAS TRYING TO UNCOVER THE ORIGINS OF THE HUMAN RACE.
HE CHOSE US TO JOIN HIM.
HE GAVE HIS LIFE TRYING TO COMPLETE OUR MISSION.
SO DID HIS SON.
THE LEAST WE COULD DO TO HONOR THEM IS PICK IT UP FROM WHERE THEY LEFT OFF.
YEAH.
I'M IN.
OKAY.
ME TOO.
GOOD.
OKAY, LOOK, WE DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THIS FLIGHT'S GOING TO LAST.
WE NEED TO FIGURE OU AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE AS WE CAN.
WE'LL MAP IT OUT.
GET YOUR NOTEBOOKS AND PENS.
LOOK OUT FOR WHAT MIGHT LOOK LIKE A FLIGHT CONTROL PANEL OR FOOD AND WATER SUPPLIES.
HOPE.
PLEASE COME WITH US.
I CAN'T.
IT'S OKAY, SARAH.
YOU CAN STAY HERE, HOPE.
SHE WON'T BE MUCH HELP TO US IN THAT CONDITION ANYWAY.
JUST GO AHEAD AND GET YOUR STUFF.
OKAY, EVERYBODY PAIR UP.
EACH TEAM TAKE A DIFFERENT SECTION, AND WE'LL MEET BACK HERE IN EXACTLY 20 MINUTES.
( Sarah ) WHAT DO YOU THINK IT'S MADE OF? WELL, IT'S NOT QUITE THE SAME AS THE SHIP'S EXTERIOR, BUT IF I HAD TO TAKE A GUESS I'D SAY IT WAS SOME SORT OF METALLIC CRYSTAL.
WHICH GROWS AND CHANGES WHENEVER IT FEELS LIKE IT.
YOU KNOW, THE MORE I SEE OF IT, THE LESS THIS PLACE FEELS LIKE A SPACESHIP.
IT'S MORE LIKE A LIVING THING.
YEAH.
A THING WE HAPPEN TO BE INSIDE OF.
ALL RIGHT.
COME ON.
THEY KIND OF LOOK LIKE THE SYMBOL ON DR.
NODEL'S HAND.
YEAH, BUT THE ARRANGEMENT'S DIFFERENT WELL, DON'T TOUCH IT! I WASN'T PLANNING TO.
SORRY.
IT COULD BE SOME FORM OF WRITING LIKE HIEROGLYPHICS.
IS IT JUST ME, OR DO HIEROGLYPHICS REMIND YOU OF TOMBS? WE, UM BETTER KEEP MOVING.
YEAH.
( Dr.
Nodel's voice ) DESPITE INITIAL EVIDENCE TO THE CONTRARY, IT APPEARS THAT MY GENETIC FLAW WAS NOT CURED AFTER ALL.
THE SYMPTOMS OF WILSON'S DISEASE HAVE RECURRED, AND THE PROGRESSION IS ACCELERATING RAPIDLY.
MY IMMUNE SYSTEM HAS BEEN SEVERELY COMPROMISED.
AND AT THIS RATE, I EXPEC TO BE DEAD WITHIN A FEW WEEKS.
HOW WILL I SETTLE THINGS WITH PAUL WITH SO LITTLE TIME LEFT? HOPE.
HOPE.
HOPE.
HOPE.
HOPE.
YOU MUST LISTEN.
DR.
NODEL? HOPE.
PAUL? IT CAN'T BE YOU.
YOU MUST LISTEN.
YOU MUST PREPARE.
( mechanical noise ) WHAT WAS THAT? I DON'T KNOW.
IT SOUNDS LIKE THE SHIP'S ENGINES.
OH, GOD.
HEY, HEY, EVERYTHING'S GOING TO BE DON'T SAY IT THAT'S ALWAYS WHEN THINGS GO BAD.
OKAY.
OH, GOD, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? COME ON.
COME ON! OH, NO! HELP! HELP! HELP! SOMEBODY! SOMEBODY! SOMEBODY HELP US! NO! ( electronic surge ) HOPE? WHAT ARE YOU DOING? IT STARTED GLOWING LIKE IT SUDDENLY TURNED ON.
WHY? WHAT HAPPENED? I'M I'M NOT SURE.
I THINK YOU SHOULD LOOK AT THAT.
I THINK IT EXPLAINS A LOT.
YOU GUYS ARE LATE.
IT'S A BIG SHIP.
WHAT IS THAT? DR.
NODEL'S LAB NOTEBOOK.
I FOUND IT IN HIS COAT.
ACCORDING TO THAT, HE WAS VERY SICK.
HE WAS DYING.
MAYBE THAT'S WHY HE COULDN' WITHSTAND THE STRAIN OF INTERFACING WITH THE SHIP.
THAT DOESN'T EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED TO PAUL.
DR.
NODEL'S DISEASE WAS GENETIC, HEREDITARY.
MAYBE HE PASSED THOSE GENES ALONG.
SO EVEN THOUGH PAUL WASN'T SICK YET, WHEN HE TOUCHED HIS FATHER AND THE SHIP, IT HAD THE SAME EFFECT.
AREN'T YOU A LITTLE OUT OF YOUR FIELD OF EXPERTISE HERE? WHERE'S SARAH? AND ANTHONY? THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN HERE BY NOW.
ANTHONY! ANTHONY! SARAH! CAN YOU HEAR ME?! IT'S ALL RIGHT, WE'LL GO FIND THEM.
BUT FROM NOW ON, WE STICK TOGETHER.
ANTHONY? ANTHONY? ANTHONY? SARAH? SARAH? ANTHONY? OH, IT'S ANOTHER DEAD END.
DAMN IT.
THIS DOESN' MAKE ANY SENSE.
THIS PLACE IS SO DISORIENTING.
IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO GET YOUR BEARINGS.
IT'S NOT LIKE THEY COULD JUS GET OFF SOMEWHERE.
( Ben ) LET ME CHECK MY MAP.
WE MUST HAVE MISSED SOMETHING.
ALL RIGHT HOPE.
YOU MUST UNDERSTAND NOW IS THE TIME.
WHAT ARE YOU? WHAT DO YOU WANT? IT IS THE TIME.
GET AWAY FROM ME.
CLAIR! KIRBY! LOOK OUT! SOMETHING'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
WHAT THE? MOVE! GET US OUT OF HERE! OH GOD, THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING.
I'M OKAY, COME ON.
CHECK THE WALLS! A HANDLE! ANYTHING! COME ON, YOU GUYS! HURRY! THE LIGHT'S CHANGING IN HERE.
OH, MAN.
TRY AND SLIDE IT.
COME ON, BEN.
MY GOD, WHAT IS THAT? HURRY! GET US OUT OF HERE! THAT'S DOING SOMETHING.
I THINK IT'S SHORTING OUT.
KEEP GOING! PLEASE HURRY! HURRY! HURRY! IT'S CHANGING! PLEASE! HURRY! HANG ON! ( electronic surge ) GUYS?! ARE YOU OKAY? ARE YOU OKAY?! SAY SOMETHING! WHERE'S CLAIR AND KIRBY? CLAIR?! KIRBY?! CAN YOU HEAR ME? OKAY, LET'S GET HER OUT OF HERE.
THE SHIP, IT JUST IT JUST OPENED UP.
TOOK THEM.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT TOOK THEM? IT TOOK THEM.
SOMETHING CAME THROUGH THE WALL FAST.
SOMETHING MECHANICAL.
I ONLY GOT A GLIMPSE OF IT.
DON'T TAKE THIS THE WRONG WAY PLEASE, BUT WHY DIDN'T IT TAKE YOU TOO? YOU KNOW FIRS WE LOST DR.
NODEL AND PAUL.
AND THEN ANTHONY AND SARAH.
AND NOW KIRBY AND CLAIR.
MAYBE THE SHIP IS DESIGNED TO TAKE TWO PEOPLE AT A TIME.
IF YOU'RE RIGH ABOUT THIS, THIS SHIP IS ONE BIG TRAP AND WE'RE ON A ONE-WAY TRIP.
HOPE.
TRY TO LISTEN.
TRY TO HEAR.
HOPE? TRY TO UNDERSTAND.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING? I I'M NOT SURE.
MY GOD.
THAT LOOKS LIKE THE MARK ON DR.
NODEL'S HAND.
HOW THE HELL DID THAT HAPPEN? WHEN I FOUND DR.
NODEL'S LAB NOTEBOOK, I WAS NEAR THE POST.
AND I DON' EXACTLY KNOW WHY, BUT I REACHED OU TO TOUCH IT.
AND SOMETHING HIT ME.
IT WAS LIKE AN ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
THEN I STARTED HEARING THINGS, VOICES THAT KEEP DRAWING ME HERE.
AND I KEEP SEEING IMAGES.
THEY LOOK LIKE PAUL SOMETIMES AND DR.
NODEL AND AND WHAT? SOMETHING ALIEN.
I THINK THE SHIP CREATED THESE IMAGES WHEN IT CONSUMED THEM, A FUSION OF EACH PERSON'S CONSCIOUSNESS, MAYBE EVEN MELDED WITH THE SHIP ITSELF.
THIS IS CRAZY.
YOU'RE SAYING THIS SHIP IS TRYING TO CONTROL YOU? NO, NO.
I THINK THE SHIP IS TRYING TO HELP ME.
THE ALIENS DESIGNED THIS SHIP TO TALK THROUGH A PERSON GENETICALLY ALTERED WHO COULD BECOME AN INTERFACE.
THIS IS JUS THE POINT OF CONNECTION WHEN DR.
NODEL DIED, THE SHIP HAD NO WAY TO COMMUNICATE WITH US.
YOU THINK THAT'S WHY THE SHIP CHANGED YOUR HAND? YES.
AND NOW YOU WANT TO TALK BACK? IF I CAN.
THIS STRUCTURE ISN'T THE SAME AS DR.
NODEL'S.
IT'S NOT FULLY FORMED.
IT MAY NOT WORK.
MAYBE NOT, BUT I DON'T SEE OTHER OPTIONS.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S JUST SAY YOU CAN COMMUNICATE WITH THE SHIP.
THEN WHAT? I'LL ASK IT WHAT IT'S DONE WITH THE OTHERS AND WHY.
AT THE FIRST SIGN OF TROUBLE, WE'RE PULLING YOU OFF.
HOPE? NO! IT'S ALL RIGHT.
IT'S WORKING.
I CAN SENSE SOME KIND OF MEMORY BANK LIKE A LIBRARY.
I'M GOING TO TRY AND ACCESS IT.
SO MUCH INFORMATION.
SO MUCH KNOWLEDGE! IT'S INCREDIBLE! LOOKS LIKE THE SPHINX.
WHAT ARE YOU SAYING? ALIENS BUILT IT? ( Hope ) I'M ACCESSING THE SHIP.
I'VE GOT IT.
JUST, JUST A LITTLE BIT LONGER.
I CAN SEE THEM! ( screaming ) HOPE? YOU ALL RIGHT? DID YOU SEE THAT? IT WAS THE OTHERS.
BUT I COULDN'T TELL WHERE THEY WERE.
THERE'S A NETWORK OF TUNNELS THAT RUN BEHIND THE MAIN CORRIDORS.
THEY ALL SEEM TO CONVERGE ON A CENTRAL CHAMBER.
I THINK THAT'S THE PLACE.
WE HAVE TO TRY AND GET THEM BACK.
IF WE CUT THROUGH THE CORRIDOR WALLS AND INTO THOSE TUNNELS, WE MIGHT FIND THEM.
NO, WAIT WE CAN'T WAIT.
IT MIGHT BE TOO LATE.
WE DON'T KNOW ENOUGH.
THE SHIP'S BEEN GRABBING US FOR GOD KNOWS WHAT REASON.
WE MUST STOP I BEFORE WE'RE NEXT.
I NEARLY GOT I TO SHORT OUT BEFORE, SO JUST KEEP AT IT.
DO YOU REALLY THINK THEY'RE STILL ALIVE? THESE SYMBOLS THEY'RE ALL OVER THE PLACE AND IN DIFFERENT PATTERNS.
MAYBE THEY'RE DIFFERENT TYPES OF INTERFACES.
WHOA.
WELL, WE'RE IN.
ALL RIGHT, WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
BE CAREFUL.
( Heather ) CAN YOU SEE ANYTHING? NO, JUST MORE OF THE SAME.
WELL, MAYBE WE SHOULD JUST FIND ANOTHER WAY IN.
WAIT A SEC, WAIT A SEC.
THERE'S SOMETHING AHEAD.
HOW ARE YOU DOING? I THINK BEN FOUND SOMETHING! ( mechanical noise ) BEN! GET OUT OF THERE! SOMETHING'S GOING ON! I THINK THIS IS IT.
HEATHER! HOLD ON A SECOND.
THOSE SYMBOLS, THEY'RE SOME KIND OF TIMER.
I THINK HOPE'S SAYING SOMETHING.
I CAN SEE GO BACK! BEN! GET OUT OF THERE NOW! BEN! ( screaming ) HOPE.
IT IS THE PLAN.
YOU'RE LYING.
LET THE OTHERS GO.
YOU MUST PREPARE.
FOR WHAT? YOU MUST PREPARE.
TO SAVE YOURSELVES.
( screaming ) ( screaming ) ( footsteps approaching ) HOPE? ARE YOU OKAY? I DON'T KNOW.
DOES ANYBODY REMEMBER ANYTHING? IT FELT LIKE WE WERE OUT FOR HOURS.
MAYBE EVEN DAYS.
IT FELT LONGER THAN THAT.
YEAH, MY WATCH STOPPED.
THE BATTERY'S SUPPOSED TO BE GOOD FOR A YEAR.
YEAH, I REMEMBER RESTRAINTS, LIKE WE WERE PART OF THE SHIP.
WE WERE ALL RESTRAINED.
THE SHIP WAS DOING THINGS TO US, SURGICAL THINGS.
WHY DON'T WE ALL JUST COME OU AND SAY IT? I'VE GOT MARKS.
WE ALL DO.
WE WERE BEING EXPERIMENTED ON.
WE WEREN'T HURT.
AS FAR AS WE CAN TELL, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE SHIP DID TO US.
BEFORE WE LAUNCHED, DR.
NODEL TOLD US THE ALIENS WANTED TO TAKE US TO THEIR HOME PLANE TO SEE HOW WE EVOLVED.
THAT'S WHA THEY WERE TRYING TO DO.
BEFORE I WAS TAKEN, THE LAST THING THE SHIP TOLD ME WAS THA THEY WERE TRYING TO SAVE US.
THE SHIP WOULDN'T HARM US.
HOW CAN YOU SAY THA AFTER WHAT WE'VE BEEN THROUGH? LET ME INTERFACE AGAIN.
LOOK AT THE MARK ON MY HAND.
IT'S GROWN.
THIS TIME I'LL BE ABLE TO FIGURE OUT EVERY TIME YOU GO NEAR THAT INTERFACE, SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS.
HOPE, THE SHIP IS CONTROLLING YOU.
IT'S USING YOU.
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
YES, I DO.
WE BLEW IT, ALL OF US.
WE THREW OUR LIVES AWAY WHEN WE FOLLOWED DR.
NODEL INTO THIS GODDAMNED SHIP.
HOPE.
LET GO OF ME! NO MORE, HOPE.
THAT'S IT.
FORGET IT, HOPE.
WHAT'S HAPPENING? THE SHIP'S CHANGING AGAIN.
NO, IT SOUNDS DIFFERENT.
I THINK IT'S WIND.
WE'RE LANDING.
EVERYBODY BACK TO YOUR LAUNCH POSITIONS NOW! WE MADE IT.
YEAH, WHETHER WE LIKE IT OR NOT.
WE'RE REALLY HERE.
I DON'T SEE ANY SIGNS OF LIFE.
ME NEITHER.
WE CAME ALL THIS WAY.
I CAN'T BELIEVE THE ALIENS AREN'T HERE.
YEAH, YOU'D THINK THEY'D AT LEAS SEND OU A WELCOMING COMMITTEE.
SO WHAT DO WE DO NOW? WE'RE GOING TO WAIT RIGHT HERE.
WHY? AFTER WE FIND FOOD, WE'LL NEED SHELTER.
THE SHIP IS PERFECT.
IT'S PRACTICALLY INDESTRUCTIBLE.
IF WORSE COMES TO WORSE, WE CAN DEFEND OURSELVES IN IT.
DEFEND OURSELVES? WE'RE LUCKY THE ALIENS AREN'T HERE.
SO FAR WE'VE DONE EVERYTHING ACCORDING TO A PLAN MILLIONS OF YEARS OLD, JERKING US AROUND LIKE PUPPETS.
IF THEY WANT US, THEY CAN COME GET US.
THEY OBVIOUSLY HAD THE TECHNOLOGY TO GET OFF THE PLANET.
MAYBE THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THEY DID.
WE DON'T KNOW ANYTHING, AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO LEARN ANYTHING BY STAYING HERE.
I TOLD YOU, I DON'T THINK THE SHIP OR THE ALIENS INTENDED TO HARM US.
THE FACT THAT WE'RE STILL HERE AND STILL ALIVE SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO PROVE THAT.
YOU WANT TO FIND THEM? I JUST WANT SOME ANSWERS.
I THINK WE SHOULD HAVE A BETTER VANTAGE POIN FROM UP HERE.
OH, MY GOD.
WE'RE HOME.
I CAN'T SAY HOW RECENTLY THIS THING WAS DISCARDED BUT IT'S LIKE WE'VE COME ABOU 250 YEARS INTO THE FUTURE.
WELL, IF THIS IS EARTH, THEN WHERE IS EVERYBODY? WE HAVEN'T SEEN A SINGLE SIGN OF LIFE SINCE WE GOT HERE.
THE SHIP MUST HAVE KEPT US IN SOME TYPE OF SUSPENDED ANIMATION.
THAT, OR WE JUST WEN IN ONE BIG CIRCLE AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT.
MAYBE THERE WAS A WAR.
THAT DID ALL THIS? IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.
I MEAN, WE GOT ONTO AN ALIEN SHIP.
WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE GOING TO THEIR HOME PLANET.
WELL, MAYBE THE ALIENS' HOME PLANET IS EARTH.
THAT WOULD EXPLAIN ALL THE IMAGES OF ANCIEN HUMAN HISTORY.
REMEMBER THE SPHINX? YOU'RE SUGGESTING THA AN ADVANCED CIVILIZATION LIVED HERE AND DIED OFF EONS AGO WITHOU LEAVING A TRACE? THEY DID LEAVE THE SHIP.
WHAT IS THIS? THAT THAT CAN'T BE HUMAN.
NO, I THINK IT IS.
LOOKS LIKE ITS BONE STRUCTURE WAS MODIFIED.
THOSE ARE WINGS.
ANGELS DON'T HAVE SKELETONS.
NO, BUT HUMANS DO.
IT COULD BE SOME KIND OF MUTATION OR GENETIC ENGINEERING.
WHAT DO YOU THINK? THERE'S NO WAY TO TELL.
HOPE? HOPE, WHAT'S WRONG? ( Hope ) "IN TESTAMENT TO THE PRIDE AND VANITY OF OUR SPECIES, "WE BELIEVED WE COULD CONTROL NATURE.
" THERE'S ANOTHER INSCRIPTION.
THERE WAS SOME KIND OF AN OUTBREAK, BROUGHT ON BY RAMPANT GENETIC ENGINEERING, DNA-DESTROYING VIRUS THAT RENDERED VIRTUALLY THE ENTIRE HUMAN POPULATION INFERTILE.
THE HUMAN RACE? THE WHOLE SPECIES JUST DIED OU ONE BY ONE.
MAYBE WE COULD START AGAIN.
START WHAT? THE WORLD? THERE'S ONLY SEVEN OF US.
WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH GENETIC DIVERSITY TO REPOPULATE.
WE'RE GOING TO DIE HERE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.
NO, I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THAT.
WE HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE SHIP.
ARE YOU CRAZY? THE SHIP DID THIS TO US.
IT BROUGHT US HERE.
I'M NOT GOING BACK.
LOOK.
THIS TIME IT'S FULLY FORMED.
I CAN INTERFACE LIKE WE WERE SUPPOSED TO.
IF THIS JOURNEY'S GOING TO AMOUNT TO ANYTHING, WE HAVE TO AT LEAS TRY AND FIND SOME ANSWERS.
IT'LL KILL YOU JUST LIKE DR.
NODEL AND PAUL.
IT'S MY RISK, IT'S MY LIFE.
I WON'T LET IT END HERE, NOT LIKE THIS.
EONS AGO, THE ANCESTORS OF OUR RACE FORESAW GREAT DANGER.
THEY HAD ONCE LIVED ON THIS PLANE AND NEARLY DESTROYED THEMSELVES IN A MISGUIDED EFFOR TO GENETICALLY PERFEC THEIR SPECIES.
IN AN ATTEMPT TO PREVEN FUTURE GENERATIONS FROM MAKING THE SAME MISTAKES, THEY LEFT BEHIND THIS VESSEL.
IT WAS OUR FOREFATHERS' HOPE THAT WE WOULD LEARN FROM THE MISTAKES OF THE PAST, THAT YOU WOULD AVOID THE GENETIC CATACLYSM WHICH NEARLY DESTROYED THEIR SPECIES AND OURS.
IT IS NOW YOUR TASK AND YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO USE THIS OPPORTUNITY WISELY.
BECAUSE OF OUR ILLNESS, WE COULD NOT BE THERE WITH YOU.
BUT OUR MINDS, OUR HOPES AND OUR DREAMS LIVE ON INSIDE THIS VESSEL.
LET THEM NOW LIVE ON INSIDE YOU.
OH, MY GOD.
HOPE? THE SHIP SPOKE TO ME.
IT GAVE ME THE KNOWLEDGE OF OUR ANCIENT ANCESTORS.
AND I KNOW HOW TO USE IT.
THIS SHIP HAS LIMITLESS ENERGY.
WE'RE GOING TO REBUILD OUR WORLD.
WE WON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES AGAIN.
HOPE THERE JUST AREN'T ENOUGH OF US.
I HAVE SOMETHING TO SHOW YOU.
OH, LOOK.
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.
THE SHIP USED OUR GENETIC MATERIAL TO CREATE BABIES.
IT MODIFIED OUR DNA TO GIVE US ENOUGH GENETIC DIVERSITY TO REPOPULATE.
WE CAN START AGAIN.
( Control Voice ) IT IS SAID THAT THOSE WHO DO NOT LEARN FROM HISTORY ARE DOOMED TO REPEAT IT.
WILL WE BE WISE ENOUGH TO LEARN?
