All language subtitles for MARS.2016.S02E04.Contagion.TURBO

Previously on Mars.

It's a girl.

It's been three
months since Joon died.

What would really help is
letting me get back to work.

- Go.
- They're actively drilling.

Whose side are you on?

The side of following orders.

IMSF is dangerously
close to becoming irrelevant.

- I'm here for you.
- I know.

A rover was taken into the
field without authorization.

She doesn't respect your authority.

Solar flare.

It's taken out our entire communications.

Without navigation, she could
freeze to death before we find her.

We're answering an
SOS from your commander.

There are signs of life.

But identical to the
strain you already discovered.

A lot can happen in 10 minutes.

- Got another one
- It's moving pretty quick.

Roger that.

Block those two off, go
to the main one now.

Turn that one off,

switch the main receiver over
there, relay those two, okay?

Hey, hey Terry, we need to keep
the slurry clear of the rig.

Roger that.

And let's get another
drill string going,

just need to watch that coolant flow.

Yes, it's moving pretty quick.

Okay, I'm going to
head in for some water.

Hey, keep an eye on the feed rate.

These cuttings are killing the pump, huh.

Yes, ma'am.

Decontamination complete.

Get another pip on the string.

Guys, raise the downward force pipe.

Roger that. We're moving pretty quick.

Make sure RPM is above 50.

You all right?

I think I'm getting
a cold or something.

Just give me a minute.

Okay, it seems like
you need more than a minute.

Why don't you just go ahead and sit down?

Man, what some people will do
to get out of work these days.

You know, you can shut up.

I do more work out here in an
hour than you do in a whole day.

How are you feeling?

Fan-fantastic.

Do I, do I still have my toes?

Yeah.

But you did have frostbite.

You were severely hypothermic.

Hmph.

What the hell were you thinking?

I don't regret doing what I did.

I think that's what you're asking.

I, I needed to get those samples.

You ignored my direct command,
which was stupid and dangerous.

Those idiots were
contaminating the site.

20 more minutes and
you would have been dead.

I can't put one more
person in the ground.

I can't.

Commander, may I speak with you?

What's going on in there?

You all right?

I don't know.

Sometimes I'm fine.

Then it'll just come out
of nowhere, this thing.

I can't control.

I'm not sure why.

When it happens, it makes me feel like

I don't know what I'm doing here.

Shh.

I know what you're doing, and there's
no one that can do it any better.

But you can't deny you're grieving.

You're still mourning Joon.

Here, come here.

I'm okay.

It'll be fine.

It's going to be fine.

Gabriella.

Hey, oh my God.

Did you just say another
woman's name in your sleep?

I wasn't asleep.

Who is Gabriella?

It's my grandmother's name.

Your grandmother's name?

Yeah.

How would you feel about that for her?

Uh.

Javier, I'm only at
four months, you know.

It's your nature as
a doctor to be cautious,

but the baby's going to be fine.

All signs are positive so far.

Yeah, but we've got
plenty of time to choose a name.

And I really have to go to work.

- Be late today.
- No, I can't.

- You can.
- No.

Come on, we've got
plenty of time for that, too.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

I can't, I have to go.

I have to.

You're going to
wish you would have stayed.

Yup. I know.

Hurry up, let's get
her into the Med Bay.

Doc! Need you over here.

What have we got?

She's not good.

How long has she been like this?

She started coughing like
this just a couple of hours ago.

It's getting hard to breathe.

She said she was getting
a cold or something

but no way is this a cold.

Temperature,
40 degrees Celsius and rising.

Blood pressure, 90 over 60 and falling.

That's pretty sick.

What about the rest of you?

Yeah, well, I guess we're
not feeling so hot, either.

Okay, we need to close the
doors, we need to close them now.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, what
the hell's going on in there?

Something at the site
has been making them sick.

Anyone that's been down
there needs to be quarantined.

Stop the drilling.

How did you do with
the solar flare yesterday?

We were on the dark side
of the planet when it hit,

so no problems here.

Yeah, we weren't so lucky.

Easy to see why you're not in a
hurry to settle on the surface.

But everything's okay now?

We've got an emergency
call coming in from Lukrum.

Sorry, commander, I have to go.

Commander, we've got a problem.

Our camp's been hit by
some kind of contagion.

Made a bunch of my guys sick.

Looks like it
originated at our drill site.

What are the symptoms?

Coughing, fever,
difficulty breathing.

Jen's got it the worst,

but I've got six other guys going
downhill fast, including our doc.

I'm hoping you can send
me one of yours to help.

Not Amelie, no way.

We'll send Dr. Johar,
but it'll take a while.

I can get him there quicker.

I've got a few tricks up
my sleeve with the rover.

Be careful.

I will.

I appreciate the help, commander.

Of course.

Communication ended.

Someone should
tell Cameron about Jen.

I know they're close.

The lab is not open yet.

I'll go find him.

Wait. He said drill site.

Cameras, Med Bay.

Amelie, stop, don't go in there.

What's wrong?

There's a contagion going
through the Lukrum Colony.

Everyone from the drill
site is coughing, feverish,

and experiencing respiratory distress.

Marta was there, too.

No, but she's fine.

I mean, good vitals, no
fever, no symptoms whatsoever.

Marta, have, have you
been coughing at all?

No, why?

Lukrum's dealing with a
drill-site-related illness

that's sweeping their camp.

Maybe they drilled deeper today,

and released some sort of pathogen.

Or maybe they went too far, too fast.

If we manage to go to Mars,

you don't want any surprises,
you don't want anything that

could end up killing you, that
was previously unforeseen.

The great explorers of the 15th and 16th
centuries encountered diseases that

they had never seen before.

Diseases don't carry passports.

They will be wherever humans go.

If you think about
our entire history,

every time we've expanded our territory,

we've disrupted the environment,

creating new conditions
where diseases can spread.

This problem is intimately tied
to our industrial activities.

It's usually the extractive industries

who are first to try to
penetrate areas that

are newly available.

They're bringing new people
into these remote areas,

they're building roads and
drilling in new places,

and creating these new
opportunities for microbes

to emerge and to spread.

Russia is fighting
a mysterious outbreak of disease.

Dozens of people are
hospitalized due to anthrax.

The hottest summer
in at least 130 years is feeding

devastating wildfires.

The place where
the outbreak is occurring is called

the end of the Earth,
or the Yamal Peninsula.

An outbreak of
anthrax in Siberia

has been blamed on a heat wave

melting infected reindeer carcasses,
that were frozen in the tundra.

I think it's very difficult

and very dangerous to be
a protester in Russia now,

especially in the Arctic.

When the government is so incredibly
supportive of the industry,

when the government
actually owns the industry,

you're essentially
protesting the government.

And we all know how that goes in Russia.

It's not a easy thing.

This isn't some faraway problem,

this is happening all over the world.

The Zika virus is
spreading explosively.

The changing climate conditions

have affected where these

tropical diseases take root.

CDC considers climate change
a serious public concern.

Climate change may also heighten
the risk of infectious diseases.

Climate change will allow diseases
to take hold in new ways

that they haven't been
able to in the past.

We're changing our
environment very, very quickly

in ways that we just
can't anticipate, and

re-activating very dangerous
infectious microbes.

So if we go and we colonize Mars,

we could be exposed to new infections,

and that's a really
dangerous spot to be in.

Cameron. Ay Dios mío.

Marta's pushing you way too hard

if she's got you working
all night, buddy.

Hey. Hey!

Cameron.

Hey, hey, hey.

Comms, Medical Bay.

Dr. Durand.

Something's wrong with Cameron.

He's got blood on his mouth, and
he's struggling to breathe.

Okay, okay.

Uh, does he have fever?

He's burning up.

What do you want me to do?

Put on a mask and gloves.

Okay.

What else?

Clo-close the air lock.

What? Why?

Because what he has is
very contagious, and we can't

risk it spreading through the colony.

What are you saying?

That you can't leave.

Javier, you have to stay with him.

The epic task of containing

this deadly virus continues.

The clock is ticking,

and they have to get this under control.

With emerging diseases,

every day is a huge opportunity
to prevent a crisis.

If you delay, then there's so many
people out there who are infected,

who are touching other people,
who are also getting infected.

It becomes impossible.

You're talking about something
that's growing exponentially.

When outbreaks happen, you
need that definitive early response,

otherwise before you know it, they
escalate and can get out of control.

When there's a lot of
people in close proximity

if one person has an illness
and it's contagious,

then potentially everyone can get
that illness before it's quarantined.

Mars is going to be more dangerous
than Earth, more difficult.

Cameron's infected, but he
wasn't ever at the drill site.

No, but maybe he saw Jen.

She was with the rescue
crew that brought Marta back.

Right, but does mean it
passed through direct contact,

or is it airborne?

And why didn't Marta get sick if
she was at the drill site too?

I don't know.
It doesn't make sense.

No, it doesn't.

But until we figure it out,
cut off all air circulation

and confine everyone to their habs.

Look, I can take
the lead on all this,

if you're not in the right head space.

I mean, if you're not feeling...

Mike, do you want to be helpful?

Notify IMSF for me.

That was great, Javier.

Now just hold it to his
skin and press the button.

The device will do all the work, okay?

How's he doing?

Extremely elevated
white blood cell count,

indicating rampant infection.

He needs to be on an antibiotic drip.

Dr. Johar's already
tried that at Lukrum,

using the most potent meds we have,
but it's not working.

What else? We have to help him.

Okay, I'm sending in antibiotics,

but you'll need to administer them,

- okay?
- Okay.

I'll walk you
through the process.

Good.

Hurry, because he's
barely breathing anymore.

Transmission from Mars received.

Press play to listen.

Transmission from Mars received.

Press play to listen.

Secretary General Richardson.

Commander Seung asked that I inform
you of a serious situation here.

An unknown, highly contagious pathogen

is sweeping through the Lukrum Colony,

and now appears to have infected at least

one crew member at Olympus Town.

We're not sure exactly
what we're dealing with,

but we do know that the illness that's

being caused is quite severe.

We'll keep you apprised of
the situation as it develops.

In the meantime, we're doing all we can

to keep it from spreading any further.

Transmission ended.

Decontamination complete.

I appreciate you putting
that clean room together.

Yeah, I hope it helps.

Yeah, well it'll keep us safe,
but it won't do much for them.

I'm sorry. It's got
to be hard for you.

Yeah, just standing
here watching my people dying.

Unable to do anything.
It's pretty damn hard.

He's gone.

You going to tell me what this means?

Javier.

Are you going to tell
me what I'm being exposed to?

You need to try and stay calm.

Please, we're trying to...

You're trying to what?

It's hot in here.

The air circulation is off.

It's not that.

I have a fever. Don't I?

Comms, Med Bay.

I want the truth.

We're trying to figure this out.

But you already know one thing:

that I have what Cameron had, right?

Right?

It's going to be okay.

We've got other antibiotics to try.

No, we tried them
all on him, and now he's dead.

How much time do I have?

You can't think
like that, we're...

Tell me!

I don't know.

We lost Cameron.

What? How'd he get this?

We don't know, but
now Javier is infected.

Is anything working for you?

Any different antibiotics? Anything?

Nothing.

We're using the same
meds, same protocol as you.

How many have you lost?

We've got over a dozen
who are pretty gravely ill,

but no one's dead yet.

Well that's some good news.

But Jen was the
first to be diagnosed.

How is it she's still alive?

I don't know. But
I just checked on her,

she's deteriorating but
she's hanging in there.

Why? What are you thinking?

Jen's alive, she's
probably not patient zero.

Cameron? Cameron is...?

We think he may have been
exposed to the pathogen first,

in your lab.

That's impossible.

You don't have it.

And no one in the colony did either,
until Javier went into your lab.

Now he's infected and
we're running out of time.

The only thing new that was introduced

were your samples from the drill site.

Cameron analyzed them.

He told me,

he told me he found the same microbial
forms we've been working with.

Maybe he missed something.

Maybe.

- What are you doing?
- I'm going to my lab.

You can't. Your immune
system's already been compromised.

I need to examine those samples.

If we're right about this,
you'd be walking straight into

the source of the infection.

I'm the only one
who knows the science.

I know it better than anyone here.

I'll figure something out.

There's no other way to find a cure.

I know I disobeyed you before, but,
please don't try to stop me now.

Javier, please keep
talking to me.

You have to stay awake.

My love, you're going
to get through this.

You're going to be fine.

Okay?

What? What? Can you say it again?

Tell my daughter
that I loved her...

and I, always loved her mother, okay?

Stop talking like
you're leaving us.

You're not. My love.

My love, we're going to get through this.

Javier? Javier?

You're brave to do this.

I'm the only one
who should have to.

Javier?

Help me.

Get up, get up.

I have to collect a sample from you.

You need to cough into this
jar, do you understand me?

Blood mixed with his sputum.

Is he aware?

Javi, Javi, Javi.

His eyes are open.

His fever is so high, it may
have already damaged his brain.

Don't get ahead of yourself.

I have to figure out
how this thing is different

from the only other microbe we've found.

Oh God!

It looks identical.

I can see how Cameron
thought it was the same.

It reacts to temperature
in a different way.

This thing likes heat.

There's no heat at the drill site.

I'm guessing long ago, there
was a hydrothermal spring there.

This microbe mutated to
survive in that environment,

and when the spring dried up,

it went into hibernation.

Bringing it into the
warmth of our lab woke it up.

We've been, we've been checking for
oxygen in here, but not temperature.

At least not high temperature.

When Cameron inhaled it into his lungs,
the heat and moisture of his body

caused it to bloom.

- Like an algae bloom.
- Exactly.

As it grows, it's producing
a toxin, an organic toxin,

like, like a micro system.

Okay, so it's
destroying lung tissue.

How do we stop it?

I'm not sure.

But why aren't
the antibiotics working,

if it's an organic compound?

I don't know.
I'm trying everything, but.

Marta, don't rush, be thorough.

If you're at a dead-end,
start from the beginning.

This is a primitive,
simple microbe.

What allows this
mutation to survive in humans?

What allows this
mutation to survive in humans?

What allows it?

The cell wall.

Disrupt the cell wall, and it dies.

Our advanced antibiotics are too complex.

We need something, something basic,

something as simple as this microbe.

Penicillin.

Yes. The most
primitive antibiotic.

The first.

What's wrong? What's wrong?

We don't have any.

Penicillin is barely
used in the West anymore.

What about the East?

Not only is penicillin
widely prescribed in China,

most of the world's supply is actually
manufactured there.

We'll need a capsule dropped immediately,

otherwise our death toll will rise.

So with your permission,

I'd like to call on our friends
at the space station

for their help in this emergency.

Transmission ended.

You can't allow her
to make that request.

The Chinese broadcast 24/7 from
their space station to the public.

If she communicates with them in
any way about this contagion,

the entire world will know.

That can't possibly
be your first concern.

Look, an accident is one thing.

But a plague is another.

If this gets out, stocks will plummet,

and the colonization
of Mars will be over,

before it begins.

And if it gets out that we
didn't ask for help, and dozens die?

The point is,
it wouldn't get out.

Neither of our organizations
broadcasts publicly,

at least not without complete control
of the feed.

Any of the families affected by this,

they've all pre-signed non-disclosure
agreements.

Obviously they'll be well-compensated.

You might be willing to
stand by and watch people die.

I'm not.

Secretary General.

I would suggest you not
bring your personal history

with Martian tragedies into this
decision-making process.

I intend to explore

a diplomatic back-channel
solution with the Chinese,

here on Earth.

I'm going to ask them to
disrupt their live streaming.

But they won't.

It pays for half of their operation.

Which will force me into a
fairly defensive position.

If after all your best
diplomatic efforts,

word of this illness does get out,

I'll make absolutely sure

that everyone understands
exactly where it originated.

And as we're both aware, it's
not with Lukrum Industries.

Communication ended.

Disease is intimately
linked with commerce.

There's a huge economic cost when
these outbreaks spread like wildfire.

The virus and fears about it

could disrupt local economies.

The cost to the global economy
of SARS was $40 billion.

Consumer behavior changed
dramatically due to fear.

A lot of governments feel like

it's in their economic interest to keep
these things quiet.

You don't want to admit
that you've got a problem,

and so naturally, that's what
everyone tries to do.

They stuff down outbreaks until
it's impossible to ignore.

Many of the nomadic people

who herd reindeer have been infected
with deadly bacterial disease.

At least 72 people are under
observation in the hospital.

These Arctic people
called the Nenets

are affected most by
suddenly coming across

and being exposed to
this old anthrax virus.

And this is their backyard.

When the anthrax outbreak occurred,

the government wants to suppress

any bad news that comes from that area.

The expectations of the
amount of oil and natural gas

in the Arctic regions are astronomical.

Putin wants Russia to have
control of that territory,

both for the power that that territory

gives him and for the oil
and natural resources that are in it.

Russia is using the
oil and gas industry

to lay down the infrastructure

for a future Arctic civilization.

In the grand scheme of
Russian Arctic development,

a few people dying of anthrax is
probably small potatoes to them.

Disease could sweep
through a Mars colony,

and I can imagine a scenario
where people would lie,

cheat, and steal in order to make
sure that their mission was successful,

even if that costs a lot of human lives.

You're not to
contact the space station

until I've reached an agreement with the
Chinese government.

I'm due to speak with their
representatives momentarily.

I don't anticipate problems

given their cooperation in
our terraforming efforts.

I'll have an answer for you soon.

Hopefully within a few hours.

Transmission ended.

No, Javier doesn't have hours.

You have to do something,
and you have to do it now.

I understand you're upset,

but the entire mission is at stake here.

One man...

One man? One man!

Do you not know or do you not
care that he will die without it?

Stop!

Comms, connect me to Commander Chen.

Infection is natural.

Infections are going to happen.

But epidemics are political.

They are not a purely scientific problem.

It's a real conflict of
interest governments have.

On one hand, they want
to protect public health.

On the other hand,

you know, they don't want to suffer
this huge blow to their economies.

Look at what happened
with SARS, for example.

The Chinese Communist authorities

are now paying a price

for their failure to acknowledge
the SARS virus, the disease

remains shrouded in in secrecy.

SARS broke out,

the Chinese government was
very secretive about it.

In the beginning, they didn't want
to let WHO officials come see it.

We are putting in measures
to prevent the spread.

Because it was too
disruptive to trade,

so they kept it a secret.

And then it went out on airplanes,

and infected so many other countries.

It remains the threat that a
traveler could be the next case.

This kind of conflict of interest

ultimately is going to
spell the difference

between whether a few people
get sick from a new pathogen,

or a lot of people get sick.

Your health could be at risk

because of climate change.

The flu outbreak
that has been spreading so fast.

The temperatures are rising and

so are worries about the Zika virus.

Everything that we've looked at
with this virus

seems to be a bit scarier
than we initially thought.

There is no
vaccine and no medicine to treat it.

Outbreaks are borderless.

When governments are hiding an
outbreak from you in any way,

that's where you're in danger,

that's when the, the
virus is actually winning.

And so I understand why people go
rogue and work out of the system,

because ultimately there are
so many times in which,

if you just waited for
everybody else to act,

you would just be sitting
there watching people die.

Hurry, every second counts.

Is he breathing?

- Yes.
- Is he taking it in?

I can't tell.

Marta, you have
to squeeze the inhaler!

I am.

I think he's getting it.

He's getting it.

We've done everything we can.

- Yeah.
- So we have to be patient now.

With a twenty minute
delay between transmissions,

she obviously felt it couldn't wait.

You have no control
over your people.

She did the right thing.

She defied your order.

No images were released.

There was a request for medical
aid, the suggestion of an illness.

That's all.

Words don't make an
impression like pictures do.

And thanks to Hana, we have one
death to explain, not dozens,

as would have been the
case in Lukrum Colony.

I hope you're right.

Communication ended.

Yes, Mars has pathogens.

But so does Earth,

where explorers have
faced malaria, cholera,

and many other diseases.

But they didn't stop. They fought back.

And some died. But mostly, they endured.

And if they hadn't, we
wouldn't be here now.

And that's exactly what our brave
pioneers on Mars are doing.

Facing the unknown,

overcoming its dangers and,

yes, sometimes making mistakes.

But the truth is, they
are role models for us all.

I uh, I didn't mean
for this to happen.

I came here to find life.

To study life.

But, but not at the expense of it.

I'm sorry.

Thanks. For all you've done.

Happy to help.

And you have some
serious building skills.

I don't know how to thank you.

You don't have to.

Alright, how about I
make you an offer, then?

Why don't you come here and work with us?

Put your skills to real use.
Lukrum's got big plans.

We could use someone like you.

I appreciate the offer,
but I'm needed back at my colony.

- Alright, thanks.
- You got it, buddy.

You don't have to stay all night.

I'm feeling better.

You have two to take care of, and
you must be pretty tired yourself.

I'm not going anywhere.

Besides, I have something to tell you.

What?

I love the name Gabriella.

To defying direct orders.

Not funny.

But you did it for
all the right reasons,

which took a hell of a lot of guts.

I'm sure I'll pay
a price for it somehow.

Thanks for pulling hazard duty at Lukrum.

In a weird way, it
was my pleasure.

It wasn't easy letting
you go, you know.

Especially when we
thought it was ground zero.

Were you scared for me?

I was.

I really was.

Robert, we can't.

Secretary General, normally
I wouldn't reach out like this,

but the situation here demands it.

It's my observation,
as second in command,

that Commander Seung is suffering from

depression relating to
the death of her sister.

She's distracted, in a weakened capacity,

and as a result, has made grave errors.

It's my opinion that this
colony requires new leadership.
