Original subtitles

[Zero] Previously on Prisoner Zero...

Amazing. Alien technology, untouched for centuries.

[Vykar] A power source for me to exploit.

[Gem] There's a body in there.

Get me out of here!

[Tag] I need to hack into this system.

Trick the circuits into thinking they can power down.

[Zero] I couldn't save them.

I couldn't save them or...

Or...

[Vykar] How many times did we wipe you, Zero?

Do you even know that?

[Zero] I am going to shut down this Bioweve master transmitter.

Are you in?

[Levi] The destroyers are past the first defense.

You need to do it now.

-Shut them down. -[Nirah] No.

Shut it down!

This is my life's work.

She is my life's work.

And the creatures in these tubes, they're my children.

I can't just shut them down.

Nirah, get down.

[groans]

Levi!

[pants] It's nothing.

Nirah, listen, the Tsarans are going to take everything we've done here

and they're going to turn people into slaves.

It doesn't work like that.

They need her to do it. They need--

You saw the reports.

They replicated your work on other ships, on other worlds.

On Kantria, on Bardosa.

But this is the Prime.

We need to stop it before they take your work

and turn it into a weapon.

You know I'm right.

[glass smashing]

Shut it down!

[laser fire]

I hope this hurts.

[dramatic music playing]

Ah!

Ow. Pain!

Why would you even do that?

I'm training you.

Beware of dangers. Always be watching.

Stay alert! Focus!

Focus on what?

Del wanted us to map the Imperium corridors.

I'm mapping.

Well, I was mapping.

Now I'm just in pain.

[Gem] The height between level four

and whatever is below us makes no sense.

Yeah, that's why we're mapping.

Zero wanted us to meet him here five minutes ago.

Zero's late as well.

[Zero] No, I'm not.

Zero? Is that--

[Zero] You two might want to stand back.

[explosion]

Hi. Let's go.

Let's go...where, exactly?

[Gem] You said it yourself,

Del wants us to figure out the kink in the corridor maps.

He just, maybe, wasn't thinking we'd figure it out like this.

But what turtle-head doesn't know can't hurt turtle-head.

Poor Del.

He's such a handsome turtle-head.

Let's go have some fun.

[Zero] A decade ago, the Imperium created the Bioweve,

a digital nightmare they wired into our brains.

They locked me away, stole my memories, left me with nothing.

Then one day, I was rescued and taken aboard the Rogue.

Now my friends and I are going to shut down the Bioweve

and free humanity.

Because I am Prisoner Zero.

[theme music playing]

[Tag] This...is not a small space.

[Gem] And here I was thinking it was just the Imperium

who built on a stupidly big scale.

[Zero] So, the disparity in our maps

between the Imperium levels and everywhere else,

now make sense.

No wonder it takes so long to walk from level to level.

[Tag] Whoever built this ship...

I think they were on the stupidly big scale too.

[Gem] It's crazy just how much of this ship is still a complete mystery.

[Zero] That's the fun part.

Yeah, if your idea of fun is gross things down here

always trying to mess us up.

And now I'm scared.

I've scared myself.

Wait, no, I'm not scared. I'm alert.

I'm alert, I'm focused, I'm...

Whoa!

[Gem] Way to be alert.

[Tag] What is that?

[Zero] I think it's some sort of alien technology.

I wonder if it's a sort of teleporter.

[Gem] "A teleporter?"

Yeah. And all we do is just...

Wait!

[groans] Sometimes I really don't like you, Zero.

[thudding]

And now is one of those times.

Ow.

Sorry.

That really hurt.

We're at the front of the ship.

What?

If it took us to the front of the ship,

then we're further away from the bridge than we've ever been.

Maybe than anyone has been for centuries.

We're...

[Gem] Trapped.

[Tag] Awesome.

Now we have to use this gross thing to get us back.

I mean come on. It's gross. And it stinks.

[Gem] Oh! So bad. I think I'm gonna die.

[Zero] Look at this. A crack in the wall.

There must be a hidden door.

And if that's the door, then this is the keyhole.

There.

Well, I wasn't expecting that.

-[Gem] That's an alien. -[inaudible]

What's she saying?

My guess? She's saying, "Come on in."

You hope.

[Gem] Things are looking up.

No Imperium, no more gross teleporter statue

and mysterious alien holograms.

I couldn't ask for more.

Or...maybe I could.

It's a cryo facility.

Why is it a cryo facility?

It looks just like the one on Kantria.

How have the Imperium even been down here?

This facility is, what?

The first attempt at building the Bioweve?

The Imperium's first try at turning people into slaves?

And it's here, on our ship, on our home.

Gem...

No, Zero, honestly.

We keep fighting and winning but nothing we do is enough.

-[metal grinds] -[Tag] What?

No, no, no, no, no!

[Gem sighs] Wonderful.

[Zero] We need to turn the power on.

If we do that, the door will open,

we'll know more about what's happening down here.

Come on.

Well, if it makes anyone's day better,

we could talk about the fact we just saw an alien hologram guarding the door.

Why would that make my day better?

Because last time I checked, the Imperium aren't aliens.

But this facility is exactly the same as the Imperium one on Kantria

where I got sucked into a tube.

It's kinda in the front of my memory.

Yeah, well, I'm calling alien on this.

For one thing, these tubes might look like cryo tubes from before,

but something tells me these were used for growing.

-"Growing?" -Yeah.

Like mushrooms in the dark.

Zero, what are you doing.

I'm going to plug in.

Like you did on Kantria.

See if I can get the power on.

Let me tell you, plugging yourself straight into those things

really messes with your head. Not fun.

Oh, trust me, my head's been messed with so much, this can't be worse.

[electricity crackling]

[hissing]

[high pitched ringing]

[Gem] What's happening?

[Tag] Can you hear us?

What's going on?

[gasps]

Those are my memories.

Recent memories.

The only ones I have left.

No.

No!

-[Tag] Zero? -Tag!

-[Gem] Zero? -Gem.

[Gem] I'm here. It's going to be okay.

What happened?

I don't know.

Come on, we gotta go.

You plugged yourself in, big blue lightning went zap zap.

And now my brain feels like squashed meatballs.

Those cables, back on Kantria.

They're what put us in the tubes.

[woman screams] Where are they?

Let's not go that way.

I do not like this.

[woman screams] Where are my children?

Where have you taken them?

Did she just ask us where her children are?

[woman] I-I-I'll find you!

Oh, you've got to be joking!

-Dead end. -[Zero] My BAM's completely gone.

-[Gem] What? -Does anyone have any BAM?

[Gem] What's happening?

Something's happened to me.

-I-- -My BAM...

Where are my children?

I want you both to know I am now very, very concerned.

I think, I think I can muster...

Where are they?

She's hideous! I love her.

Who are you?

You hurt my children.

Lady, we don't even know your children.

Ah! What, what just happened?

I feel weird.

-[Tag] Is that-- -Go, go, go, go!

[laser firing]

[Gem] Where now?

Up!

You took my children.

Come on!

[rumbling]

That thing,

I'm guessing her children were whatever was in these tubes.

She must have been a sort of caretaker.

That blast thing did something strange to us.

Something strange to you.

[Gem] Since when did you not make a leap?

And what about our BAM?

We don't have BAM, Zero's suddenly a klutz

and we all feel like our brains have turned to mush.

Am I the only one that sees what's happened here?

Whatever you did when you connected to the tubes,

it turned off our Bioweve.

-Our bio-- -Go on, try and feel it.

I can't connect to anything.

It's gone, boom, vanished.

You're...you're right.

We've been looking for a way to beat the Imperium,

to shut off the Bioweve.

This place is the key.

And it's been hiding in a box in our basement.

We don't want to use this key.

Tag, it turned off our Bioweve, not anyone else's.

But I'm saying we can do it.

When I plugged in...

[Tag] If we connect with the network,

-reconnect with the Bioweve... -No.

...we can broadcast whatever it was that's switched it off.

-[Gem] You think? -[screams]

[Gem] Zero, are you okay?

Listen, when I plugged in, it did something.

It's trying to reset me.

Make me a blank slate again.

Reset you?

Delete me. Wipe me.

Just like when I was a prisoner on Tartarus.

-Zero... -What

It's going to be okay.

I'm sorry.

-I just... -You're scared.

-Tag! -No, he's right.

I'm terrified.

My memories with you guys, with Del and Bowi, Librarian and Guardian, I...

I don't want to lose you.

When you freed me, I promised myself I'd never let that happen again.

And now...it's happening...

again.

What do we do?

We switch this place off.

[suspenseful music playing]

[electronic voice] Gone.

All gone.

Nothing.

Gone.

They are no more.

[Gem] Can she get up here?

Let's not find out.

Someone that's lost their children...

That's enough to drive anything mad.

Look at the cables coming off her back.

I think they're the same ones that plug into the tubes.

[Zero] Oh, and that means she's connected to everything in this place.

There's just no way this is Imperium.

It's alien.

But that doesn't make any sense.

The Imperium must have found other places like this, like Kantria,

and used them.

Built the Bioweve around alien tech.

Oh, that's clever.

On Kantria, there was a central control station

at the base of that tower.

Maybe there's one here.

Big maybe.

It's all we've got.

Yeah. We've also got a problem.

[metal rattling]

[whirring]

[electricity crackling]

[Gem] Come on. Come on!

[indistinct chatter]

We have to find the control center.

[Gem] Keep your eyes peeled for a control center.

[Tag] Can I just say I am incredibly glad we're up against Mrs. Crazy Robot

and not that thing?

Still works!

That's a good start.

Seems to be an index of the facility.

But all the data's corrupted.

-Tag? -Hey, how did you--

I don't know!

No sound.

Well, that's helpful.

Um, does this do anything?

This is a message for the Tsaran Military.

Do not enter this facility.

It has been shut down, you are too late.

There is nothing left here for you to take.

I have ended the Mother project.

All data has been destroyed.

You will not be able to manipulate

the Enhanced Bioweb Animals we bred here.

I have sealed the facility.

I will not let anyone corrupt my work.

Levi is...

He didn't make it.

It's just me in here, with my work.

With my children.

I know they're only Bioweb Animals, grown in a lab,

but...they were innocent in all of this.

And I turned them off.

I did it to save millions, but...

I should destroy Mother too.

Levi was right.

If the Tsarans got their hands on her...

But after what I've already done, I can't lose her too.

I can't lose her too.

I can't lose her too.

I can't--

She built this place.

She grew Mother's children.

She turned them off.

They were her kids too.

[Zero groans]

We've got to shut this place down.

It's...all...disappearing!

[Gem] Zero!

Zero, maybe you should sit down.

I can't sit down. It's worse when I sit down.

Okay, okay.

The answer has got to be here.

If anyone does ever find these holos,

this work can do good things.

Please, please, don't use it for bad.

There's too much bad already.

Okay.

This is happening.

Tag, you said this place could be the key.

-Zero? -Listen, I'm fading fast here.

Okay, well...

I mean,

theoretically,

if you were able to get back into this network,

you should, and I'm guessing here,

but you should get your Bioweve back.

It's part of the network.

And with that back,

hey, you could broadcast whatever the bug was that turned it off.

And with everyone in the Imperium connected to the Bioweve...

Oh, Tag, you genius.

Again.

But it could completely wipe you.

It's way too risky.

We're past risky.

I'm going to end the Bioweve.

Connecting isn't going to be so easy this time.

This might get gross.

Zero, no!

Bye, Tag.

Bye, Gem.

[Gem] Please, please don't do this!

Tag, our Bioweve, it's back!

Okay. Okay, Zero.

Let's do this.

Time to broadcast the signal.

Time to bring back a little good.

[Gem] Zero, if you can hear me,

I need you to stop being stupid and get out of that tube.

He is not one of my children!

Come on, just a little more.

He is not my child.

He took my children.

[Tag grunts]

There. Okay. Nice button.

Zero, wake up.

We don't need to end the Bioweve like this.

Hit the button, Zero.

[Gem] Please, don't do this.

Gem?

[Gem] We need you.

[groans]

[electricity crackling]

Let him go!

-You didn't do it. -I couldn't.

How do we beat her? I don't know, but...ow.

The cables!

Keep pulling them out.

[grunting]

It's not enough.

[screams]

[screaming]

[screams]

I'm sorry for what happened to you.

[electricity crackling]

-[Tag] How are you feeling? -[Zero] I'm okay.

[Gem] You liar.

I couldn't do it.

I could've ended this whole war. But I didn't.

I was scared to lose what I have.

I was scared to lose...you guys.

And now...

Does any of this stuff work?

[Tag] No, it's busted.

Look, I want to win against the Imperium, but...

I don't want to lose anyone else.

Me neither.

Now all we need to do is...

[Gem] Oh, I hate it so much!
