- 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.
Brice: We received a distress call from Ark 8.
Yeah, we’re all Gen-2s, but there were Gen-3s onboard.
And one by one they became violent.
I’m programming the ability to adjust your implants.
Kelly, what are you-- ( wheezing )
Stop! Or I’ll have Kelly break her neck.
You have the power to stop this.
I’ll keep the controller safe and only I can access them.
We’re Federation operative hunters.
Are you saying Lati went after Eva because--
- Eva is Eastern Federation. - It is true.
I’m not sure why I’m the one under fire here.
I know Lati made a horrible mistake.
It shouldn’t have gone down that way,
but we did expose Eva
as an Eastern Federation operative.
Yeah, definitely deserve points for that one.
Garnet: From now on, there will be no more unauthorized
or secret investigations of my crew without my knowledge.
That’s not how we do things here. Is that clear, Kimi?
- Crystal. - Now, I need you to share anything else
your investigation uncovered before I get Eva’s side of this,
and I also need to know if you suspect anyone else of being Eastern Federation.
I’d prefer to speak with you privately.
Now. That’s an order.
Fine. Seven years ago,
the Eastern Federation launched a successful assault
on the lunar colony.
187 people were killed.
We’re all familiar with what 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.
- That’s crazy. - What evidence do you have?
My best friend Maurisa Yi was Brice’s co-pilot on the mission.
He told me he doesn’t know her, but take a look at this.
That’s Maurisa.
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 Lieutenant Brice’s records.
The next day, he was demoted two ranks and suspended from duty.
Is this true?
You’ve been lying to me this whole time?
You had the chance to save my father
and 186 other people, and you didn’t take it?
Lane.
I’m so sorry.
Spence!
( music playing )
Just for the record, I’m not Eastern Federation.
I don’t give a damn what you call yourself. My father is still dead.
Please, can I just explain?
I’d like to hear 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.
But it didn’t go down the way she said.
So then how did it go down?
I’d been mentoring a young student, Maurisa Yi.
We worked well together, so on the day of the mission,
the GSA assigned her as my co-pilot.
- They didn’t give you any warning? - 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--
I couldn’t just sit there 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,
- and you’ve been lying to everyone ever since. - It was classified, Spence.
But you’re right, mate. I probably should have told you.
How do you want to handle this?
Isn’t it obvious? He needs to be locked up.
He’s already been demoted two ranks
and lived with this for his entire life. That’s punishment enough.
You can’t just let him off scot-free, Garnet.
The GSA investigators thought demotion
was the proper disciplinary action. I’m won’t override them.
- Spence, I know-- - Stay out of my sight.
You have to promise not to make a big deal out of what I’m about to say.
I’m listening.
I’m here for 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.
All right. I’m just gonna pull this down. It shouldn’t hurt too much.
Just a quick-- there you go.
Well, I’m glad you’re being careful,
- and that you two are-- - Please stop smiling like that.
Sorry. Um, okay. Well, it is quiet in here right now,
so let’s take the opportunity to give you a quick checkup.
Could Lati have planted anything else we don’t know about?
We’ve done a full scan for any unauthorized crops and haven’t found anything.
Good. I’ll leave you to your plants then.
Actually, there-- there was something else.
( music playing )
Lati did have one good idea.
It’s potato vodka. I need a second opinion.
- I don’t usually drink on the job. - Oh.
But I’m sure you could test the safety of the product?
Well, I suppose if it’s a security concern.
Good.
- Brice: 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.
To be honest, mate, that’s--
that’s kind of what I wanted to you talk about.
I just feel like I don’t--
I don’t know who she is.
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.
- ( clattering ) - Hey, what--
What the hell is going on?
Play nicely and nobody needs to get hurt.
- Sash-- - ( grunting )
( grunts )
The mission was classified. He couldn’t tell you.
- Doesn’t mean he was lying to you. - Doesn’t it?
Hey, maybe take a second, cool off.
- This is Brice we’re talking about. - Yeah, and it’s also my dad!
- I-- I know. I’m sorry. - ( hissing )
What the hell is that?
( grunting )
( panting )
( gasps )
( powering up )
( distorted chatter )
( chatter continues )
- Clean this up. - The sedatives ha
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.
( beeping )
( buzzing )
The bio shelter is the only area of the ship in lockdown.
Strickland to Garnet, the bio shelter is locked down. Please advise.
- ( alarm blaring ) - We have to find a way to force the door.
Wait. Wait, wait, wait! Wait! That’s not a good idea!
The environment of the bio shelter has a separate air supply
- from the rest of the ship to keep the plants safe. - From what?
There’s some sort of air contamination in the rest of the ship.
Alicia, do you read? Alicia, please respond.
Lieutenant Lane, respond.
Lieutenant Brice?
( music playing )
Hey, wake up.
Come on! Come on!
( gasps )
Kelly? What’s going on? How did you--
That was incredibly dangerous.
Well, it woke you up last time. I didn’t know what else to do.
What’s going on? Why is everyone unconscious?
It’s not just here.
Everyone in the corridors and the open rooms,
they’re all passed out.
Garnet must have turned on my augmentations so I’d stay awake.
Did you see anything to tell you what caused this?
It seems like there’s something in the air?
Like a fog or a powder or something.
Might be Ditroxflurane. One sec.
No, no, no.
They took all of it.
Ditroxflurane is a powerful sedative.
Someone must’ve rigged it 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.
We don’t want to wake her by giving her a heart attack.
( gasping )
What’s going on? What did you do?
- Nothing. - It’s okay. She’s here to help.
Someone used the air system to sedate everyone aboard.
- It didn’t affect me. - 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.
I’m going to see if I can access the cameras on the bridge.
- Those are all Ark 8 clones. - I don’t understand.
- We saved them. Why would they do this? - I’m not sure.
But maybe they haven’t 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.
- We’d have to get to everyone 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,
but it’s gonna to take me some time. Dr. Marsh can help me.
You two see if you can make it to Sub-Engineering.
- I’ll go alone. - There’s clones all over the ship.
You’ll need me watching your back.
Fine. Come on.
( grunts )
- What happened? - I need your help.
( coughing )
( beeping )
The Sub-Engineering deck’s down here.
- You stay here. - You sure?
( music playing )
( grunting )
( shouting )
- ( squelching ) - ( gurgling )
Kelly: 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!
( gasps )
( wheezing, coughing )
Okay, what I’m about to say is gonna sound crazy,
- but everyone is unconscious. - It was Milos.
Saw him put something in the life support system.
- What’s she doing here? - Helping.
- She fought my way in here. - Captain Garnet activated my implants.
- Where’s Eva? - 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.
I didn’t know 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.
Yes, and I bet wherever they’re trying to take us, we don’t want to go.
Guys, we can pilot the ship from here, but we need Eva to rig it.
We don’t know how many of them are between us and Eva.
I don’t need Eva. I’m perfectly capable of handling this.
I just need to re-route the bridge’s controls to this computer.
( buzzing )
- Damn! - You sure you don’t need Eva?
They’ve hacked the system. I’m locked out.
It looks like the FTL is charging.
- How long does that give us? - I’m guessing not long enough.
Look, guys, I’ve got an idea.
Do you remember when we had to propel the ship
out of that comet’s path, right?
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.
Right, they won’t be able to go back to FTL
- until they recalculate it. - Yeah.
If they do, we just move it again.
- Exactly. - Great. Go.
I’ll try and buy you some time on the computer.
- You gonna be all right? - Yeah.
Kelly’s got my back.
Okay, let’s see how well these clones know how to hack a system.
( buzzing )
Someone is trying to unlock the system
from the life support sub-level.
Go.
- Did you hear that? - What? I don’t hear anything.
Someone’s coming. Keep working.
- ( grunting ) - ( bones cracking )
There were three of them. I neutralized them.
Does that mean you killed them?
It means you’re safe for now. Finish what you were working on.
- I did. I’m in. - Good.
Kelly!
- ( hissing ) - ( gasps )
( groaning )
Good morning, sunshine.
What’s going on? 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?
But I made sure you wouldn’t be stuck 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?
There’s a lot you don’t know about me, cousin.
- Yeah, it’s beginning to feel that way. - We’ve taken Ark 1.
We wouldn’t be someone else’s 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. So what’s the plan?
We’re charting a new course 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.
- ( groans ) - Shh. Don’t worry.
I’m gonna get us out of this. You just need to hang on.
Get some rest.
When we arrive, we’ll finally have what we’ve always wanted.
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.
- Milos: Well worth it. - Hey, something’s wrong.
- 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. What’s your status?
Nico? We’ve lost contact.
- Do something, Duro. - I’m not sure how much I can do.
- I’m locked out. - Well, get back in!
We can’t stay in here forever.
If we leave, we risk contaminating the plants
or getting knocked out ourselves.
I bet Garnet has a plan. She always does.
Well, we can’t wait around to see what it is.
Strickland to Garnet, what’s your location?
Maybe something happened to her WD.
She could still be on the bridge.
This is Strickland to Bridge.
Captain Garnet, do you copy?
Milos: Garnet’s not here,
Thanks for letting us know you’re awake.
The transmission came from the bio shelter.
Go to the bio shelter. Kill ’em both.
- Okay, ready for the antitoxin. - Marsh: Yes.
All right. This should activate...
Both: ...the binding agent.
I’ve never had to construct 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.
I’ll get the transport agent to disperse it,
- and we’re all set. - Perfect.
- Uh, we have a problem. - What?
I was going to use biotalc as the transport powder for the liquid,
but we don’t have any left.
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?
- Dr. Kabir, you’re okay? - 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.
- Strickland: Dr. Kabir, we have-- - Felix? Oh, thank God!
Yes, yes, I’m here, but we have no way to get to you
without exposing ourselves and the plants to the toxin in the air.
It’s cleared. Felix, you can leave the bio shelter safely.
Then how much diatomaceous earth do you need?
- How much you got? Okay, well, bring it. - A lot.
Oh, damn it.
You know, I used to actually get excited about flying this thing?
Now it’s like taking my gran out for a walk.
She’s temperamental and she only moves when she feels like it.
- So, no luck, huh? - Well, I mean,
Alicia bought us some time with the computer shutdown,
but it’s locked us out 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.
( music playing )
Anja, Karim, is it done?
Karim: There is no one here.
We don’t have time for all this.
You’re the engineer. How do we get in?
Well, without the command codes, it’s nearly impossible.
- 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,
it’s Captain Garnet.
( gasping, panting )
Don’t worry, we don’t kill our own.
I believe in clone solidarity.
Well, at least first and second generation.
Is that what this is about? Some kind of clone uprising?
I’m just doing what’s best for clones,
including you and him.
What you’ll come to see is that you and I are very similar.
I just wanna make sure my people are safe,
and I can’t do that with you in charge.
But I’m a clone, too. Not to mention, I rescued you.
Clearly, I’m not a threat.
Yeah, but you were also gonna rescue them crazed Gen-3s,
and I’m sure you can see how that might have raised some doubts
about your decision-making skills.
That was you who slaughtered them?
You locked up the wrong clone.
Now, why don’t we go to the bridge,
see if we can’t work something out?
What about Lane?
He’ll be fine. We’ll only kill the non-clones before they wake up.
Why would I help you if you’re just gonna kill my crew?
Fine. Stay in here.
I’ll kill them now.
So you’re a part of this?
Milos is doing this for all of us.
- Doing what exactly? - This is our ship now.
We needed to make sure that your crew
wouldn’t do anything to interfere with our plans.
Soon as we’re back underway
and we’re sure we don’t need any of them,
we’ll eliminate them.
- You’ve taken us off course? - 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.
You know I can’t do that.
- Can’t or won’t? - Both.
You don’t have to do this Milos. If you just give me a chance,
I’m sure there’s a way everybody can get what they want.
You’ve been fighting for the wrong side for so long
that you can’t see this for what it is.
I’m not on anyone’s side. 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.
And that’s why I would 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. - I’m grateful you helped us.
Truly. But we will never put our lives in someone else’s hands again,
especially not some GSA pawn.
Unlock the controls.
- No. - Let me make myself clear.
I don’t like to kill clones,
but if you don’t give us access to the computer system,
then I’m gonna kill Lieutenant Lane
where he lies in your cabin.
What’ll it be?
Lieutenant Lane or your stubborn belief
in the GSA? Huh?
- Go kill him. - Fine, fine.
Fine. I’ll do it.
- ( beeping ) - ( buzzing )
( grunting )
- No! - No!
- What the hell did you do? - You know what I did?
I triggered a ship-wide lockdown, every bulkhead in this place.
And I made sure you’re never getting into the computers.
What good does this do? You’re still stuck in here with my crew.
Yes, but now your people won’t be able to get to any of my crew
if they aren’t already with them.
You need to drop this self-righteous act. You’re one of us.
You have more in common with the Gen-3s you killed than you’ll ever have with me.
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.
Let’s hope they don’t mind the little detour.
Uh, Milos, something’s changing our course.
- How is that possible? - Someone gained control of the shuttle.
- They’re using it to change our trajectory. - 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, didn’t you?
- 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 whoever’s in that shuttle.
Thank you. I couldn’t have done this without you.
Of course, but it won’t do us much good 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.
- ( buzzing ) - Garnet must’ve initiated the lockdown
or my code would be working.
The captain’s code is the only one I can’t override.
Alicia, it’s Kabir. Uh, we might need some help over here.
I don’t know how much I’ll be able to do. We’re locked in.
That’s what we need help with. 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.
Strickland: We’re not far away,
but we’re trapped in corridor 23-J.
I may be able to unlock the doors between here and med bay.
That’ll include 23-J, but I need a second.
I need to find a vulnerability in the encryption.
Tell Dr. Marsh Kelly’s not looking so good.
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 she’s still alive at all.
( chiming )
But I don’t know how much longer without my medical help.
Alicia: I’ve cleared a path to the life support sub-level,
but I don’t know how long it’ll hold.
Wait. We can’t go yet.
Angus hasn’t gotten here with the dio-earth.
She won’t make it without my help. I have to go now.
- But just wait-- - Special delivery.
Oh! Thank you! Thank you!
Well, I’d say we’ve pulled them way off course.
- They’re probably so pissed. - Yep.
Nothing to do now but just wait for them to try and stop us.
Yeah.
Sash, you’ve known Eva longer than anybody.
Did you have any idea she was Eastern Federation?
- I still don’t believe it. - Well, yeah, I know, mate,
but, I mean, she didn’t deny it.
Yeah, well, it’s hard for me to imagine Eva being on the wrong side of things.
She’s a good person.
- Angus: Hey. - Okay, okay, okay!
( grunts )
Uh, Alicia? Kind of need you.
Oh, oh. Yeah, sorry. This way.
Marsh: Kelly, can you hear me?
All right, that’s all of it.
Angus: Okay.
( Alicia laughs )
( music playing )
What the hell are they doing?
Duro: I’m seeing a rise of infrared signatures all over the ship.
- Meaning? How is that possible? - People are waking up.
The chemicals we used should’ve left them unconscious for another four hours.
( crowd shouting )
They’re trying to get in.
- You helped her? - Well, she’s a good person.
- Oh, you’re dead. - I thought you didn’t kill your own.
Ian!
( grunts )
( all grunting )
Thanks.
( grunting continues )
( screams )
( slicing )
( panting )
Sorry it took so long.
Had to wait for the right opportunity to show my hand.
No apology necessary.
I’m the one who should be apologizing
to you for doubting you.
- Let’s let our crew out. - ( beeping )
How’s she doing?
She’s not doing well.
Her vitals are severely low.
The implants were activated for too long,
far longer than her body has ever endured.
I wish I could’ve gotten to the controls to turn off her implants sooner.
- Will she be okay? - I don’t know.
Depends on her nanites. They don’t seem to be working as quickly as I expected.
Go ahead. Yell at me.
Thank you.
I’ve never felt more alone in my life.
You see, the thing is,
I just don’t see how you could be evil.
I refuse to believe that.
So EF, GSA, whatever,
it doesn’t matter.
I love you.
And quite frankly, you could turn purple
and it wouldn’t change a thing.
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 night’s sleep I’ve ever had.
Well, you’re in luck. I’ve got one more surprise.
You’ve been promoted. Head of engineering.
Hmm. I didn’t realize you trusted me.
I’m not sure I do, but the truth is
you’re the most qualified to take over for Eva.
- Thank you. - Don’t make me regret it.
By the way, you never had that bathtub I requested installed.
That’s because 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.
Well, then I guess you’ll become 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?
I couldn’t agree more. 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.
I’m surprised we didn’t do this long ago.
Well, Lieutenant Lane has asked me to make alcoholic beverages for a while.
Yes, I have, and you couldn’t have listened to me
at a better time, because I need a drink.
- The toast! - To Ark 1!
All: To Ark 1!
What the hell is that?
That’s not good.
It’s Eastern Federation.
Lane: And their weapons are targeting us.
