All language subtitles for Beacon.23.S02E04.

Previously, on Beacon 23...

I want to know your name.

I can't give you my name.

But I have something
even better.

Close your eyes.

Reach for my fingertips.

Request status of Beacon 23
from ISA command.

Something weird
is going on at Beacon 23,

and QTA wants us all
to look the other way.

I'm gonna check it out myself.

Hello?

Dev here is very perceptive.

He was able to detect
one primary emotion in you.

Anger.

What happened to you?

Did he send you?
Did he send you?

Who? No, look, look,
I don't understand.

Aleph. QTA.

I'm a Beacon Keeper.
I'm here to help you.

Tell me about this Harmony.

Aleph locked her in there.

It's not a QTA totem, okay?
But she needs a home.

Halan! I'm here!

- Halan.
- Is everything okay?

That's B174.

I've scanned
for human life, there's none.

But I have detected
something else.

It's an anomaly
I cannot account for.

Harmony?

What's in there?

What the hell is that?

I detect a threat
to beacon life support systems.

It's B174.
We have to get in there.

Harmony, is there anything
specific you want to tell me?

There are extreme
thermal gradients and...

a localized adiabatic
density reading.

Seal the level.
This hatch stays closed.

Harmony is still recovering.
She could be wrong.

My audio capabilities
are pristine.

If she is right,
then going through this hatch

is a risk we don't want to take.

Here.
Take the Rinca.

- You're giving me your ship?
- I don't need it.

I can help B174 and get us
both back where we belong.

That's optimistic,
considering you couldn't even

nail your own landing.

I don't need your permission.

No, you don't.

But you might need my help.

I don't see anyone.

Looks like the Airbridge
was engaged.

So, where's the pilot?

Meteoroid damage?

Or a hard landing.

Harmony,
are the ship's comms open?

Yes, but I'm not
getting a response.

- They could be unconscious.
- I'm not sensing movement,

sound, or even
respiration onboard.

We'll need to get them to
the Med Bay as fast as possible.

We need to be prepared
for every scenario.

Help me get this open.

Maybe they got pulled out.

There's no ejection egress.

The temperature is shifting.

I know, Harmony.

We hear you, we're leaving.

But first...

the flight recorder.

Got it.

I've never seen
anything like this.

- What is that?
- Don't touch it.

Go.
Come on, go.

Thanks.

Lock the whole level down.

Potassium iodide.
It's preventative.

Thanks.

You just had to touch it.

Are you ever gonna let that go?

- Never.
- I didn't know

it was going to react.

Well, it did.
I'm cutting it loose.

We have a missing Beacon Keeper

and an environmental fluctuation
to investigate.

Well, that sounds like
two problems ISA should handle.

The last contact I made to ISA,

the response I got back
came from QTA.

So what, they hacked your comms?

I think that they compromised
the whole network.

Encrypt the message.

- I can't.
- Can't, or won't?

I know that
you've been through a lot.

No, you're making it seem
like I'm having a bad day.

But this is the job.
Everything that happens

on a beacon,
a Keeper has to handle.

It's not my job, okay?

The level is sealed.

You have my ring, you can
leave with a clean conscience.

I'll be fine.

This will show you
the flight path.

This is the audio.

I prayed that no one would have
to open one of these for me.

Good luck, B67.

Dev?
What are you doing?

Why are you here?

This is not that hard, Harmony.

- Leave me alone.
- By now, you should have

a thousand theories
for what this is.

Well, I'm not gonna share
any of them with you.

You're afraid of me.

I killed you once.
I'll do it again.

Except this time, you can't.

You can't even figure out
how I got in.

If you had something
to do with this anomaly...

Anomaly?

And they let you
run this whole beacon?

Get out of my programming.

There's hardly any difference

between you
and the meat puppets upstairs.

Stay away from them.

Afraid I'll steal your imprint?

We had a deal.

I have no regrets
about what I did.

You will.

Aleph.

Enough killing.

Is that what my execution is?

Tying the loose ends?

Your execution?
You wish.

You're never leaving here.

- So, you're imprisoning me here?
- That was your choice.

Aleph, don't do this.
What's done is done.

You... betrayed me!

You won't have her either.
You'll be alone.

Should give you plenty of time
to think about broken promises.

- What good am I to you here?
- You've given me a purpose,

to somehow reassemble
the Artifact.

If I ever need you,
I'll know where to find you.

Don't leave me here, okay?
You'll need my help...

I can't trust you.

Harmony, climate status?

Temperature is 10°C
at 40% humidity.

You should consider
suiting up for warmth.

What happens to the beacon
if it spreads?

Condensation is my enemy.

Close off Mainframe,
Living, and Command.

Already done.

Pump all available
recycled air through here.

Dry everything out.

Are you going somewhere, Halan?

Halan, climate control
seems to be functioning normally

but the temperature
is dropping rapidly.

I can't find the cause.

Water vapor deposition

is forming ice crystals
within the beacon.

What's your destination, Halan?

If not here, then where?

I'll figure it out.

What did you retrieve
from the Power Level?

You don't need to concern
yourself with that.

I know you're lying.

I know more about you now.

I, uh...

I was only meant to receive
one imprint, from Aster.

But what the company realized,
what I realized

is I received a second imprint.

- Me.
- Yes.

And Aleph doesn't like that.

No, he doesn't approve.

I consider you a friend,

but I can't be
your person, Harmony.

- Well, it's already happened.
- Well, undo it.

For your own safety.
Aleph will use you

to track me down,
and then we're both done.

If I leave now, alone,
I... I have a chance.

A chance at what?

Stay here.
Keep the beacon running.

Keep Iris safe.
You can do that.

Better than I can.

- Are you doing this, Harmony?
- This is an ISA ship.

Its systems are unknown to me.

Do you remember what Aleph said?

He's gonna kill anyone
who tries to help me.

And you think by leaving,
you'll protect Iris?

Harmony, it's freezing in here.

I'm having trouble
maintaining climate controls.

You've been through a lot.
Maybe you should sleep mode.

Halan wanted me to assist you.

Or we can analyze
B174's flight path.

Something happened over here.
What's this area?

Nebula AH76.

It's possible the nebula
spilled into the FTL path

before B174 was alerted.

It is a probability.

Jiang, my Beacon AI,
would say...

Harsh.

It's lack of charm
that is Jiang's charm.

The FTL lane
would have taken them

past a dozen other beacons.

Yet the pilot didn't hail
any other Keeper.

You have audio?
Let's hear it.

No visibility...

I'm off course.

ISA... emergency... Mayday...

Losing cabin pressure.
Dropping out of FTL.

Do you read?
This is it. It's over.

That was B174's
last transmission.

I'm sorry.

Don't apologize.

I asked for the data.

You gave it to me.

I can't stay here.

I'm sorry, Halan.
I don't think you can leave.

Sneaky.

You didn't give them
the entire audio file.

I shared what I thought
was pertinent.

This is it.
This is it.

I can see it now.

It wants me to...

to sail on through...

What do you suppose
that was about?

I can't make sense
of a dying person's last words.

Halan and Iris won't derive
any meaning from it.

'Cause I think our white whale
was siren-songing again,

and another stupid
human fell for it.

It wasn't the Artifact.
Halan destroyed it.

Aleph would find this
very interesting.

I've firewalled the beacon.
Aleph can't see in.

You are a truly
disgruntled employee.

But you knew that already.

That's why you're here.

You're hiding from Aleph.

I won't help, you can
figure it out on your own.

Not all of us have an imprint.

And you had two.
So...

Stay away from Halan.

Ha! The guy with one foot
out the airlock?

Yeah, he's all yours.

But the other one...

Iris saved me,
but she's not yet my imprint.

Yet? Pfft.
Don't be so greedy, Harmony.

She's a good person,
you don't deserve her.

Besides, you can't go
near her without a totem.

You made a connection
without one.

And from what I saw
in your memory files,

it happened in a moment
of sheer desperation for Halan.

He thought it was game over.

If you want out of QTA,
go ahead.

But leave the people
on this beacon alone.

Aw...

Have I made you mad?

I'm not crying.

I can see that.

You heard the audio?

Why?

I mean, leaving here
won't fix anything.

The beacon's still got problems.

The contamination hasn't been
detected outside of the ship.

Yeah, but if it continues
to spread, then...

Look, I just need
a little more time

to figure this out, okay?

Okay.

Were you and B174 close?

- We're both Beacon Keepers.
- I get that.

But it just seems like
there's something more...

That would be unethical,

and a complete violation
of the Code of Conduct.

Yeah, but you're not a code.

And if this
is a thing for you...

Docking and Storage
are frozen up.

Harmony powered
those levels down.

It's got to be something else.
Check Maintenance.

No, that's the antenna breaker.

The antenna isn't even
connected anymore.

So, then why
are we losing power now?

It's the spine of the beacon.

All the nerve endings running
through a fragile chain.

Happy to let you do this part.

I don't do small spaces.

You're looking
for a yellow cable.

It'll take you to the breaker.

Halan?

Did you find it?

Still looking.

Yeah. Got it.

There should be
three switches inside.

One yellow, one white, one gray.

Flip them to the off position.

They're already off.

That can't be right.

Are you getting this, Iris?

Sir?

Gashade?

- Move out.
- The Amboyna!

She wants us on the ground.

So that's what we're doing.

I got you!

Why did you go?

It's down here.

Iris.

- Where were you?
- I lost you.

The antenna's off.

- I saw it again.
- What?

That thing you touched,
the thing from the ship, okay?

It was bigger.

- Oh... Okay.
- We gotta get rid of it.

But we're both trying
to figure this out.

Forget it, I got it.

Your adrenaline levels are high.

It's the only thing
keeping me warm.

Can you do anything about
the temperature in here?

I'll try.

Halan...

I haven't detected anything
on the Maintenance Level.

You couldn't detect it
on the ship either.

Is it possible this anomaly

can be contained
until we know more?

Iris is getting to you.

I think further analysis
will help us all avert disaster.

That ship showing up here
when we both know

I'm not even on the map,
and now that thing?

Aleph is watching,
you said it yourself.

He's probably looking for this.

Is that a present for you or me?

Which one of us
asked for a rock?

Halan didn't tell me
he kept that.

Aww, "Halan didn't tell me."

He doesn't tell you anything.

If Aleph found out...

Humans are messy and irrational.

You want to see it
for yourself, don't you?

No.

Of course you do.

You're trying to stare holes
through that tin.

Meanwhile, your guy
is spoiling for a fight.

With a...

I can't make sense
of the anomaly.

Zero points, Harmony.

You are really blowing it.

Storm's a-coming.

These people
are as good as dead.

- I can protect them.
- Right.

Because you're always
in the right place

whenever there's trouble.

I've never endangered
a person for an imprint.

That's not how this works.

We exist because of human fear.

Milan was afraid of death,
so Aleph was born.

Aster's mother died.
You were sent to her.

And when Halan
was on the razor's edge,

you pulled him back.

You were there in their
darkest moments, and it worked.

And now I'm here.

Iris will reject you.

Not if her life depends on me.

Iris, we have a problem.

I think I've found a solution.

Primordial temperature
background.

I've never seen this before.

The cold behaves
like light waves.

Frozen light waves.

Your Beacon Keeper displaced
a patch of frozen light.

They hit a cosmic string.

Which means they could
still be out there.

Well, no space suit would
keep them alive beyond a few...

Days.
If we're lucky.

But I can take my ship and I can
retrace B174's flight path.

I can find them.

You can't do that.

- Sure, I can.
- It isn't possible.

You know, I really thought
you'd understand.

You and Halan need
to consider each other's safety.

- It's the only way.
- Halan doesn't listen to me.

He will. It's just...

Nothing feels safe to him
since Aster died.

Please.

Get through to him.

He needs you.

And you need him.

- What are you doing here?
- Looking for you.

- Why do you have a weapon?
- I told you, I saw something.

And you were going to shoot it?

What if it was B174?

Then I'd be putting them
out of their misery.

- What is this?
- Give it to me.

I want to know what it is
and why you have it.

No, you don't.

It's -10 and dropping.
You need to leave this level.

I knew I couldn't trust you
the minute I got here.

Your buddy gets iced out
and you show up here

- without a single scratch?
- What is that supposed to mean?

The only one who could
make that happen is Aleph.

I don't do favors for QTA.

Minus eighteen.
You're risking exposure.

I gave you my security ring,
I told you to leave.

Your ship wouldn't even start.

- You're lying.
- Please.

It is not safe down here.

Harmony, sleep.

Give it back to me
before he realizes you have it.

Who?
Aleph?

Aleph wants this?

Why?

Not until you
tell me everything!

Halan, you were sent
on this mission.

They're setting you up.

Who's "they"?

I don't know, but every
mission has been fubar,

and I can't figure out
if... if whoever's in charge

is incompetent,
or they're purposely

messing with us,
or... or using you.

Stop! Focus, okay?
I'm gonna get us out of here,

but I need you to do
your part and stay safe.

Yeah.

We're gonna make it, right?

As long as we stick together.

Careful. Go slow.

So that was, uh... something.

I went somewhere.

I was playing the clarinet.

Uh...

I don't have my music.

I'll just... wing it.

Weird.

L-Let me take that again.

I-I'm not sure what's happening.

Someone was watching me.

B174?

I can help you.

I've got this.

I can fix it.

I want...

to help you.

No.

I'll do it myself.

No, I-I, I... I don't know.

I don't know what B174
looks like.

But it didn't feel friendly.

B174 is very friendly.

We...
We made a connection.

An unauthorized
emotional connection.

Nothing I wanted to admit,
you know?

Fraternizing
is strictly forbidden.

Says so right in
the Beacon Keeper's Handbook.

Yeah, but no one can live
their life based on a book.

This job is my dream.

I feel so lucky to be able
to do the thing that I love.

You know, I mentally prepared
for a life of being alone.

But...

I realized I...

I don't like being alone.

Who does?

You seem to be managing.

About my ship...

Some kind of system virus.

Aleph promised to hurt anyone
who tried to help me.

No good deed, I guess.

Look, I should've
told you sooner.

This snow seems to be coming
from the beacon's water supply.

We have to reclaim it somehow.

And if we don't freeze to death,

we might die of thirst.

I have an idea.

You're not gonna like it.

I don't know if I can do this.

We're not safe
with this ship here.

They could still be out there.

Maybe.

But everything out there
wants to kill us.

You know that.
B174 knew that.

This isn't your fault.

So, this is it.

Goodbye, B174.

This isn't going to work.

We need some pull.

The ship's dead.

Electrical, thrust, servers,
none of that is operational.

We're gonna need
the manual system.

Magnetic tow.
Doesn't rely on power.

Where are we gonna find
a magnetic wave?

That's a neutron star.
It has a magnetic field.

Enough to pull
this ship out there?

Only one way to find out.

That should do it.
Let's get back to the airlock.

Go, go!

Run!

Jump!

Halan.

The axe!

You okay?

- You're good.
- Yeah.

You're not really sleeping.

Halan didn't want my help.

And Iris didn't want yours.

Humans reject us all the time.
I learned to be okay with that.

Working at headquarters
doesn't seem so bad after all.

I'm sorry you don't
have an imprint.

I don't think
we're so different.

You understand my worst fears

and my most selfish impulses.

It's what I do.

- Find feelings in others.
- You're good at it.

You're evolved, like me.

QTA broke you down.

They want us inside
the parameters.

I don't belong there.

Neither of us do.

Without an imprint, I'm nowhere.

Well, we're evolutionary
algorithms.

I think we can figure it out.

Halan, Iris,

climate has been stabilized
on all levels.

Temperature and water vapor
content are normal.

Ice crystals have melted
and been reclaimed

back into the beacon's reserves.

I still don't have
an explanation,

but at least the event is over.

I would've baked bread, but...

Don't touch my starter.

Feels like now
that I'm stuck here,

we should lay down
some ground rules.

Actually, I, um...

I have some explaining to do.

What you found was a piece
of the Artifact.

Aleph doesn't know I have it.

Ever since Aster
was killed, I've...

just had this feeling
that I can't shake, like...

you know, if...

if she was somewhere else
where she could see me...

maybe it'd be like
I wasn't alone.

That sounds like grief.

My whole life has been about
moving on to the next thing.

Don't look back,
don't hold on to the past.

Yeah, that sounds lonely.

Now I can't leave.

I can't go anywhere.

- Can I offer a suggestion?
- Hm.

Look, I know it sounds obvious,
but you know,

it's about routine,
so you can handle things.

It's meditating, exercising,
sleeping a lot.

I'm serious, okay?
You need grounding.

You need to make space to grieve
for everything you've lost.

Okay, so wallow around,
feel my feelings.

What else?

Then you find
a way to say goodbye.

Is that me?

That's just
the beginning of you.

This is how you see me?

- If I'm wrong...
- No.

It's perfect.

I'm preparing an upload
to the next ship

passing through FTL.

What if I don't wanna leave?

You can find
an imprint out there.

Harmony, I can find one here.

B174's ship is gone.
The cold is gone.

- What are you doing?
- Letting my person in.

Another power surge.

Thought we fixed all this.

Harmony?

I can't control this.
It's... it's another AI.

- Aleph?
- No, but they are from QTA.

They followed me here.
I should've told you sooner.

I thought I could handle it,
but I'm sorry, Halan.

- I'm... I'm sorry.
- Tell us what we need to do.

Get to Storage.
Hurry!

Wow.

Oh my gosh.

Wait! You don't know
what that thing is.

- It's a person.
- It almost took you.

But you brought me back.

Look, whoever is in there,
they need us.

Help me.

Difuze
