[tense music]

[Harish] You have
to get them back!

[Coake] Stop
bloody struggling!

- Can we restore visuals?
- [Fulmer] It's not responding.

You've gotta send
another rover out there.

- There isn't another one.
- You've got to do something!

Sort your shit out or
I'll sort it for you!

Listen to me!

They're doing everything they can,
okay? No one here is your enemy. Okay?

I need to help.

We can't help. We
just have to wait.

Easter. Easter, get
in the Wet Lock.

[Easter] What about you?

Most things that live down
here, they can't see well.

But they're sensitive to sound. That's
why we put a limiter on the sonar.

- So?
- [Cameron] So, I'm gonna turn it off.

Give this thing both barrels.

Are you sure the
glass can take it?

No, I'm not. But in here might.

Hey, hey! What you doing?

I've already lost two friends
today. I'm not gonna make it three.

Warning. Sonar
limiter disengaged.

Warning. Sonar
limiter disengaged.

Rover 2, this is Stac
Control. Do you read?

Switching to emergency channel.

Easter? Cameron?

Do you read?

[sonar bings]

Warning. Sonar
limiter disengaged.

[glass cracking]

Warning. Sonar
limiter disengaged.

[opening theme music plays]

[piercing screech]

- [Harish] What is that?
- [Fulmer] Jesus!

It's a sonar pulse.

[Magnus] From the rover?

Smart move. We suspected
sound might cause it pain.

Remind me never
to get you a pet.

Rover 2, this is Stac
Control. Do you copy?

- Come in, Rover 2.
- You okay?

Easter, this is Magnus.
Are you reading?

Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. Just...

- [Magnus] Come in, Rover 2.
- That was some buzz.

Rover 2, repeat,
this is Stac Control.

Can you hear us?

[radio static]

We got your pulse.

[radio static]

Tell me you're still
out there, lads?

[radio static]

[Easter] Control,
this is Rover 2.

[relieved sighs]

[Easter] We are now taking
requests on Radio Abyss.

All killer, no filler.

How about, Get Your Ass Back
Here Now by Fast As Fuck Boyo.

Ah, it's good to hear it,
Easter. Is Cameron with you, too?

Yeah, he's here, but that
thing did a number on us.

The Rover's tracks are jammed

and our cockpit glass is one
crack away from a very cold bath.

If you try and move
this thing, we'll...

we'll end up like the others.

We're not leaving
them down there.

There's got to be another
way to get them back.

If we cannot bring them to the Stac,
we'll have to bring the Stac to them.

Coake to Bremner, come in.

[Magnus] You're
sure it'll work?

[Coake] We know
their location.

If we can get to them, we can retrieve
the rover through the launch bay.

As long as that thing doesn't
come back for another go.

Boss.

Ready to set the charges?

Charges?

The Stac is frozen in hard.

We have to break open a
lead before we can move.

Easiest way

is to use explosives.

Right. Magnus and Fulmer,
with Bremner on the ice.

Rose, with me.

Hey, you're not the one giving
orders here any more, remember?

They need rescuing,
this is how we do it.

There's one of mine down
there as well as one of yours.

The longer they're out there, the
more chance of it coming back.

And you said no wasting time
for measuring dicks, right?

Fine. Suit up,
let's get this done.

You and me will monitor
from the Control Room.

Do you think it really
wanted to kill them?

They weren't threatening it,

but it might not even be the
same one as on the Bravo.

What, like, that was the
kid and we just met its mam?

[Askel] It doesn't
really work that way.

Not with an organism of this
kind. It's more like a colony.

But you're right
about one thing.

Only one?

Sorry, what I mean is

the North Sea is young,
relatively speaking.

And this ocean is not.

The Arctic ice cap last formed
three million years ago,

so things can grow pretty big
when they have that long to do it.

How big we talking?

The Great Barrier Reef only
started growing 20,000 years ago

and now, er, it's
the size of Japan.

Pretty big, then.

Yeah.

Try not to drop them or we'll
be picking you up with a sponge.

It's a worry. He's already
tried blowing himself up.

Once was enough.

[Bremner] We use this
to cut into the ice.

Get as close to the surface as
possible without breaking through.

The blast has to project
down for it to work.

How many?

We do two rows of twelve. A
hundred meters between each set.

Once the Stac gets moving,
momentum will do the rest.

How do we get down?

[Bremner] There's a
ladder down the leg.

Should know by now, there's
always another ladder.

My favourite.

Are you expecting pirates?

[Bremner] Polar bears.

You wouldn't think a
700-kilo killing machine

could sneak up on you
out here, until it does.

So, whenever we're on
the ice, we're packing.

[Magnus] But not sharing?

[Bremner] Can't be
the hero all the time.

Ladder's this way.

[mechanical cranking]

[Coake] All mechanics stationed
and ready at the teeth?

[CRO 1] Yes. Braking
systems ready to go.

Prepare to take both
modules to transport depth.

Bring engines online.

Are the ice team down?

[Rose] Confirmed.

[wind howling]

[Bremner] Watch out
for the black ice.

Don't need to be dealing
with pulling you out.

[Fulmer] Team player, he is.

[Bremner] Used to be this
fjord was permanently frozen.

Now, it melts every year.

We mark out the weak
spots for the choppers,

but that out there
is no man's land.

And if you fall through?

If you fall through, then that
cold is gonna hit you like a vice.

[Fulmer] Great.

Hold on, Easter. We're coming.

[Easter] Glad to hear it!

[Coake over PA] This is
Control. All personnel,

prepare to jack-down to transport
depth. This is not a drill.

Everyone hold onto
something. This'll be fast.

Engage leg lifters on my mark.

Engage.

Engaged.

[cranking, clattering]

[Bremner] Time to move.

[tense music]

[rattling]

[Coake] They're brave.
I'll give 'em that.

Magnus doesn't
leave people behind.

[epic music]

[rumbling]

[drill whirring]

[Bremner] That's deep enough.

First charge.

[charge beeps]

Primed and synced.

Take it. Get that one done.

[Fulmer] On it.

[Bremner] One down, 23 to go.

Feel free to do the next one.

[Bremner] You're
doing just fine.

It's all about keeping
calm in the moment.

[drill whirring]

[Fulmer] Done.

[Magnus] Next pair.

[ominous music]

Begin Subsea Module lift.

[over PA] Subsea Module
lift in progress.

Lift complete.

[over PA] Subsea
Module lift...

- Legs locked for travel.
- [CRO 1] Confirmed.

As soon as the ice
team are done, we go.

[CRO 1] All crew,
stations for transfer.

Subsea Module, are you ready?

Ready down here.

All hatches sealed and the rover
recovery system is in position.

[Rose] Acknowledged.

Okay.

All we need now is a clear path.

[tense music]

[Bremner] Two
holes left to go.

[Fulmer] I'll
get them started.

When we're ready, you
just flip and press.

[panting]

[ice cracks loudly]

[ice cracking]

[rumbling]

Guys!

It's coming apart!

[rumbling]

[Bremner] It's the
waves from the Stac.

They're breaking the
ice up from underneath.

- [ice cracking like gunshots]
- This is not good.

Come on! Let's go!

[Bremner] This isn't safe.

Keep it calm, right?
Let's get it done.

[rumbling, cracking continues]

Don't you fucking break.
Don't you fucking break.

[loud cracking]

[gasps] I thought
that was me there.

Come on!

Come on!

[yelps] Shit!

Fuck. We've got to get him.

No, wait, wait.

We don't know where
the cracks are.

Just take it slow.

- [Bremner] Hurry up!
- Spread your weight.

[Bremner] Hurry up! Move!

Move it!

- [deep rumbling]
- [Bremner] What are you doing?!

I'm slipping!

Move!

[Magnus] Just hold on!

Move!

Hurry up, I'm
slipping! I'm slipping!

[Fulmer] We've got
you! We've got you!

Now, kick with your legs.

[Bremner] I can't
fucking swim.

You don't need to swim.
Kick with your fucking legs!

God damn it!

[Rose] What? What is it?

Ice team, what the hell are
you playing at down there?

We haven't got time for this.

Thanks for the fucking support!

Ignore him. Kick
with your damn legs.

[gasps] The detonator!

We lose that, we can't
set off the charges.

Aah!

- [Fulmer] Did you get it?
- Yes! Aah.

- [Fulmer] Boss?
- [Magnus] I got it.

[Fulmer] Boss, you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine, I'm fine.

Come on, let's get him out!

Pull! Pull! Come on.

[gasping]

Magnus, Fulmer? You, okay? Over.

Yeah, we're fine.

Nothing a hot shower won't fix.

Well, that we can do.

[groans] Come on.

Two charges to go.

Then, don't waste time
talking to me, over.

Come on.

Let's go. Come on. Come on!

Easter, Cameron. You good?

I don't know about good,

but I'm ready to get the
hell out of this can.

[Rose] Roger that.

[Bremner] Go on.

We're safe enough here.

Rose, all charges down.

We're ready when you are.

It's your show.

Blow it.

[explosions]

[booming]

I really hope that's them.

- [radio blips]
- [Rose] Ice team, you still there? Over.

Yeah, we're all
good. Start her up.

Start the engines.

[Cro 1] Starting
main propulsion.

[over PA] Propulsion engaged.

Transfer in progress.

Rover team, we're on our way.

Glad to hear it.

[Cameron] Back to the
belly of the beast.

Rather that one there
than the one out here.

[helicopter whirring]

[Lennox] We'll
be landing soon.

Once we're down, one quick job,
and then we'll help you find Kacey.

[Cat] Where are
all the lights?

They're rationing electricity.

Diverting it to rescue and recovery
sites far outside the impact area.

Must be a big area.

When nature kicks...

she doesn't miss.

[power tools whirring]

[crew member] Careful.

[Coake] ...you were having a
little dip in the paddling pool.

Cameron and Easter are
getting cleaned up,

and then I'm sending them
over to Murch in Medical.

You had that hand checked out?

Ah, probably not a bad idea.

[Coake] Your slip up could've
compromised this whole thing.

- I didn't compromise anything.
- Don't give me your excuses...

You get anything out of
Bremner, about the mission?

He's loyal, I'll give him that.

Not that it seems to
be doing him any good.

[tools clatter]

Big Blue really did
a number on your toy.

If it can do that to a rover, it
can do the same to us down here.

The pressure readings they were getting
would collapse this place like a tomb.

So, tell me again, why you think
we should make friends with it?

How about so it doesn't
collapse this place like a tomb?

We've seen the damage the Ancestor
can do, just as much as you.

If we want to stop it,
we need to understand it.

I understand it just fine.

There was me thinking we
were starting to get along.

I don't believe a word he says.

Lennox gave you access to
the Stac's files, right?

Yeah, I haven't gone
through them yet.

Hey, there's got to be
something in there we can use.

You concentrate on that,
I'll talk to Cameron.

Maybe he'll be more
forthcoming. Deal?

Deal.

[contemplative music]

[Easter] I'm sorry,
man, for your team.

Didn't say anything
just in case, you know,

ended up just like 'em.

They should never
have been out there.

Fuckin' Coake.

[door opens]

Knock, knock.

Hope you guys played
nice out there.

Spent most of it talking
about you. Comparing notes.

And? What did you learn?

[Easter] Not much.

Your boy's pretty good at
playing it close to his chest.

[ominous music]

Hey, you did well, bringing
back the other team.

[scoffs] Uh, funny, I don't remember
you saying that at the time.

Or is it just your
crew that's a priority?

No, it's not about priority.

It's about perspective.

I made the right call for
mine. But you did, too.

Yeah, they all
seem to trust you.

Give me a good reason
and I might, too.

But you ain't done it yet.

[sirens blaring]

[over PA] Missing persons can be
reported at main registration.

All efforts are being made to
reunite families and lost loved ones.

I repeat...

[emotional music]

[overlapping chatter]

What the fuck is this?

It's a casualty clearing centre.

Survivors from the
city are triaged here

and then moved to hospitals
inland or reunited.

Returning crews are the same.

We're supposed to be
going to Edinburgh.

The city's off limits,

but if Kacey's been found,
she'll have come through here.

This is the place to start.

[worker] Right this
way, please. This way.

All returning...

Pictor's taken over these offices
to coordinate our response.

They'll look after you.

[phone ringing]

I'll be right back.

[worker] Bravo crew, any remaining
Bravo crew, into the registration tents.

Nothing that's happened
changes the agreement.

We get the rights to the
whole sector or we walk.

[Hubb staff] Can I have
your name and platform?

Penny Knight? Lovely...

That's always been the deal.

[Cat] Catherine
Braithwaite, Kinloch Bravo.

[Lennox] Yeah, she
knows what to do.

No, we make it personal,
we make it small.

We're as much a
victim as anyone else.

Okay.

Come on, come on.

Still nothing?

I can't get her or her
family. It's all fucked.

Should be out there looking.
That's what she'd do for me.

Yeah, I don't think they're gonna
let us just walk out of here.

She's got plans for you.

Cat, you saw the doctor at
the heliport, didn't you?

[Cat] Yeah. Fine.
We're-we're fine.

Good. It's nearly time.

Already?

The sooner the press conference is done,
the sooner we can start looking for Kacey.

Okay. You've gotta tell me.

Why me, why's it gotta be me?

Because you have hope and that's
what the people watching this need.

- [door opens]
- [Fulmer] Hey.

Hey. [sighs]

A bit of light reading?

[Rose] Yeah.

This is supposed to be everything Coake
had on the Ancestor since its discovery.

So, what you found out?

That's just it,
there's nothing here.

Reports on the mining project,
equipment testing, impact assessments,

and all this data's
been encrypted.

So, Lennox lied?

Not her. Coake.

He could have easily hidden all the
important data before she got here.

Trying to cover his ass.

And the company.

Sounds like we'll have
to go to the source.

If he even is the
source. [scoffs]

Lennox said Coake's got allies.

People he's working with at the
company, they must be near the top.

This could be so much bigger.

You'll figure it
out. We have time.

[scoffs] Yeah.

Time, my favourite.

[mysterious music]

[door opens]

Quite a sight.

Must almost make being
stationed up here worth it.

Yeah.

Almost.

But that's not what brought you.

Are you playing the priest now?
Come to take my confession?

If that's what you need.

Everything we're doing here,
it's not for me or the company.

Societies depend on resources or they
don't stay civilised for very long.

Anyone who's been
laid-off knows that.

Every living thing on this
planet steals energy to survive.

The only thing that makes us different
is that, right now, we're best at it.

If you take the whole history
of life on this planet

and condense it
into one single day,

how long do you think
the human race has had?

Two thousandths of a second.

If we want to last longer, we're
gonna need every resource we've got.

You say that, but all it tells me is
we've fucked things up awful quickly.

You’ve got to know that we can't
survive by wiping everything else out.

You know, when I
got into this game,

oil was meant to provide
us with a bright future.

Last time I was home, things
weren't looking very bright.

How do you think they look now?

That thing down there had
its shot. It's our time now.

Haven't you learned
anything from all this?

Pick a fight with nature,
you're gonna lose.

Tell me again how well
your plan worked last time?

Oh, you've no idea what
you're talking about.

But you have, right?

I saw you when it attacked the
rover. You're still connected.

[Rose] What?

What does he mean?

It's nothing. It's just flashes.

Why the hell didn't you tell me?

I'm sorry, alright.

You were so focused, and
it's not exactly easy for me.

Who cares about
easy, it's important!

What did you actually
see? The wave?

What we saw on the Bravo?

Will you listen to yourselves?
You don't get it, do you?

You're still wasting time
talking about the wave.

I only care about
what it does next.

[newsreader] Rescue and recovery
efforts are ongoing tonight...

You're watching that a lot. There
something you're looking for?

I grew up on the East Coast.

My mum's still there, I think.

You don't go back there?

It's, er, not exactly
a happy house.

She drinks... a lot.

I sort of thought I'd
stopped worrying about her,

but this, it's different.

Yeah, it's a lot to deal
with, that's for sure.

[door opens]

Ready for the next patient?

Oh, er, give it some
air, take a pew.

[newsreader] ...a statement from
Pictor Energy CEO, Morgan Lennox,

who chairs the joint
industry response.

- [Lennox] I know you all have questions...
- Look, it's starting.

About the impact
of recent events.

But first, it falls to me to say

that Pictor and the
whole North Sea family,

are victims of a
terrible tragedy.

Aye, she moves fast.

Turn it up.

Efforts are ongoing to determine
all impacted facilities

and personnel. But due to
conditions, both onshore and off,

only limited information
will be given at this time.

- How many crew remain missing?
- How long will energy supplies last?

Ms. Lennox. Can you confirm the
fields and pipelines affected?

There will be a technical
update given shortly.

However, our losses are unfortunately
expected to be considerable.

Nevertheless, I would like to
assure all of those watching

that we are doing
everything we can

to find our crews and
to bring them home.

The others should see this.

Oh, you stay here.
I'll go and get 'em.

[Lennox] ...thanks to the sterling
efforts of our Pictor recovery teams.

We are joined tonight by members
of the Kinloch Bravo crew,

successfully retrieved from
their lifeboat four hours ago.

Medic, Catherine Braithwaite, in
spite of what she's been through,

has agreed to share
their story with us.

Cat.

Yesterday, during a
scheduled shutdown,

we were alerted to the approach
of a significant wave front

which would exceed safe wave
height for the facility.

Following established
procedures,

we were given the order
to prepare for evacuation.

Due to the speed...

What is she doing?

This is Pictor. There's no way
Cat would sell us out like this.

Yeah, not just Pictor.

On impact, the boats were
scattered by the wave

and carried away from the
Bravo and our stand-by vessel.

Some crew suffered
minor injuries.

After several hours adrift,

our lifeboat was sighted by
the Pictor rescue helicopters.

[reporter] Did you
notify the Coast Guard?

What happened to the Charlie?

Did you see the wave coming?

- Please, please...
- Were there any casualties?

[Lennox] The panel and I
will answer questions after.

I'd like to thank the rescue
team and company personnel

for bringing us back safely.

And we ask that you give us
privacy to process these events

while Pictor helps to reunite
us with our loved ones on land.

And that's all I have
to say at this time.

[reporter] How many
crew remain missing?

Were you afraid you
wouldn't get back?

Do you know what happened
to the rest of the crew?

We lost sight of the other
lifeboats after the wave hit.

- What the hell?!
- Yep, figures.

Shh.

But you still hope to find them?

I do.

Initial calculation of
the epicentre of the event

puts in the Kinloch field. Do
you have any comment on that?

There will be a
technical briefing later

when we lay out the
facts as we have them.

The primary focus of
the North Sea family

is saving lives.

Never trust the suits.

Hey! She was still talking.

And we're done listening.

She's playing us.

I mean, you have to see that.

The files on the
Ancestor, now this.

Trying to act the victim so the
focus stays on rescuing survivors.

Not why the wave happened
in the first place.

We don't have the full picture.

- 'Cause she hasn't told us.
- Don't.

Lennox is on our side. Why else
would she put me in charge?

Because she knew it
would make you stay.

You're the one person out of all of
us who could've actually explained

what really happened on the Bravo
and the world would believe you.

She gave you what you wanted
so you'd do what she needed.

She wouldn't do that
to me. I know her.

[Magnus] "Used to know her".

That's what you said
when she came on board.

- Don't twist my words.
- I'm not.

But you're putting a lot of faith
in the word of a woman paid to lie.

What if she's lying to you, too?

Look, Lennox isn't a saint
but she's not a monster.

She'll have a reason for what
she's doing. She always does.

That was Pictor Energy
CEO, Morgan Lennox

with an update on the
unfolding of this tragedy.

The company has...

Oh, you sold 'em out.

You signed the papers too.

Yeah, but you're
meant to be better.

This ain't about us,
this is about Kacey.

So far, the only person who
said that they'll help is her.

Yeah, the face has
changed but not the game.

This is the way it has to be.

I don't expect
you to understand,

but I do expect you to
keep to your contract.

It'll all come out
sooner or later.

You can't keep secrets
in this world any more.

And when it does,
we'll be ready.

So, if you're thinking of
telling anyone before then,

know this: We don't
lose, not ever.

[over PA] ...for Bronze
Command on Channel 6.

Repeat, Bronze
Command required...

Miss Braithwaite, anything to
add on behalf of your statement?

Miss Lennox, anything
on behalf of Pictor?

[Lennox] They're
saying this way.

Are they all from the city?

And along the coast.

Pictor's helping coordinate
logistics for the response effort.

You're never gonna get
through that lot on your own.

What is this, you volunteering?

Magnus told me to
look after you.

Nothing she's done changes that.

These passes give you
free rein in the camp.

Any news, I'll find
you. Good luck.

[sirens continue]

Jesus Christ, where
do you even start?

[Cat] We'll take it
a step at a time.

One by one.

[over PA] to T3 immediately.

Dr Sail, to T3...

Okay, immediate threat to life?

No, crush injury to left eye,
the bleeding's stopped but...

Okay, er, T2. Mark them,
take them to Row 6.

Got it.

Let the nurses know, come
straight back out, okay?

[paramedic] Yeah.

Okay, what's next?
What's the row...

No, I don't work here.

You look like you should, unless
you've got something better...

No, I'm looking for someone.
It's my wife. Kacey Braithwaite.

I'm very sorry, I'm only
doing triage right now.

There must be someone taking a
register, keeping track of everyone?

Yes, that would be me,
along with everything else.

If I could actually get to it.

[over PA] All patients must
stay in their designated areas.

Repeat, stay in
your designated...

[Dr Sail] Pen please?
You got a pen?

Um, here.

[Dr Sail] T1, yeah.

Er, Row 8.

[over PA] Crash team
to T3 immediately.

Look, erm, if she's in here
then she's being looked after.

If not, the best place
to look is the camp gate.

But you'd do a lot more
to help if you stayed.

I can't. Not now.

If you don't find
her, come back!

[Hutton] Cat!

Leave me alone, Hutton!

- Hey.
- I didn't ask for your help!

Hey, hey, hey, come here. What
about those people back there?

They could use your help.

I'm not here for them.
I'm here for Kacey!

Look around you. Half
the city's in this camp.

You're not gonna find her
marching around out there.

He said go to the gate.

[emotional music]

[crying]

- [sobbing]
- [Hutton] Hey.

[crew member] And someone needs
to check the dive suit, too.

You still haven't done me yet.

Not so good at people.
They're tricky.

You seemed to get on
well with Cameron.

He's tricky, too.

Nice thing to say about
someone who saved your life.

- Hm.
- [Heather] He's right.

Look at this.

What is it?

Coake said the first team were out
there doing a mining survey, right?

- Right.
- Mm-hmm.

[Heather] Look
at the sea floor.

I'm looking but I'm not seeing.

Hm. Guess I've got to be the
tough one and the smart one.

Askel said the Stac is here
to mine polymetallic nodules

like this and these.

We passed those on the way out,

but there weren't
any round the crash.

So, if the survey team
weren't looking for nodules,

what were they looking for?

[hammering, power
tools whirring]

Better not be forgetting
which side you're on.

Well, I don't have a side.

Never saw the attraction.

Want to stay that way,
you'd better hand it over.

Hand what over?

The data log from their rover.

Don't play games with me, unless
you want to end up in a bag too.

- Is that a threat?
- Call it a promise.

I left it behind.

More important things
to worry about.

Normally, I don't like lying,
but you better hope you are now.

That log is worth
more than you know.

You're just a dog
on a chain, Bremner.

One day, it's gonna choke ya.

[whacks]

[ringing]

Fuck! Those assholes.

[over PA] The cold work operation
is now complete for the port side,

port side aft, starboard,
starboard aft, on level two.

No luck?

Company have locked
out all communication.

And that doesn't mean you guys were right
about Lennox, before you say anything.

I wasn't gonna say it, and no
one out there's blaming you.

Now that's good, because I didn't
think I did anything wrong.

This the mining survey maps?

Yeah.

And?

I'm working on it.

What's with the attitude?

Is this about the visions?

I told you, I don't know
what any of them mean.

All I want is for them to stop.

And all I want is for people
to stop hiding things from me.

It's bad enough them
doing it, but you, too?

Maybe, this was a bad idea.

Where are you going?
We're not finished!

Are you sure? 'Cause sometimes it's
really fucking hard to tell with you.

Oh, fuck you. [scoffs] What
do you know about hard?

You have no idea how much
harder it is for me, or Lennox.

We never get to be safe. Never.

Coake can screw up as many times as
he wants and he just keeps on sailing,

but we are always one mistake
away from losing it all.

And it doesn't even
have to be ours.

So, you want to help?

How about you do something
about that and leave me alone.

If that's what you want.

It is.

Fine.

Give her time. She'll cool off.

Oh, I wouldn't bet on it.

If Lennox wants to
keep this box locked,

she wouldn't have
given us the key.

But there are other people on board who
know what Pictor are really doing here.

Control to Gallery.

Gallery, hi, yeah.

[Magnus] Heather.

It's Magnus.

Is Askel down there?

Yeah, I'll go get him. We were
just thinking the same thing.

Do it. I'm tired
of playing games.

Time to talk to someone who will
actually give us some answers.

- Come on.
- [hangs up receiver]

[Heather] They're coming down.

I'm gonna go find Askel.
See if you can find Cameron.

They'll want to
question him too.

[Harish] I'll hold
down the fort.

[tense music]

Do you think Coake and Lennox could
be looking out for each other?

Neither of them are looking out
for us. I'm fucking sure of that.

[Coake] You keep your head
down and your mouth shut.

You are not to interact
with them at all.

You stay down here with
your horrendous music,

doing as you're told,
just like you always do.

[Askel] I didn't come
here to lie for you.

[Coake] That's not
your decision to make!

You work for the company,
not your conscience! Got it?

Hey, Askel...

What do you want?

You know, you might get
more out of your crew

if you weren't such
a dick all the time.

This is my rig. I can talk
to him however I want.

I thought all facilities
belonged to the company.

Don't get smart with me. I
am very much not in the mood.

When is he ever, right?

[sniffles]

That man is a brute.

Far worse than
what he's hunting.

Magnus wanted to speak with you.

There's nothing useful
in Coake's files

and there's no way of
getting through to Lennox

without him or Bremner
giving us access.

Cameron's gone into hiding, too.

Whatever Coake sent him to
do out at the crash site,

he's not for sharing.

Harish, you installed some
of the systems here, right?

Uh-huh.

Could you crack open
these encrypted files?

You got it. Just watch me.

That's a start.

Pictor might not give us answers

but it's not gonna stop
us asking questions.

What about the Ancestor?

They found it during
the mining surveys

and then they moved the
Stac to this location,

but there's nothing to say why.

I might be able to shine an
element of light on that point.

[sighs] Step into my office.

So, erm, what you
call the Ancestor,

a good name, by the way.

Thanks.

It's an ancient living network
threaded through the sea bed.

We used to think of forests on land
as thousands of individual trees.

But now, we know they're all
linked by mycelium strands.

These living networks allow the trees
to swap nutrients, send messages,

and even help defend against
attacks from predators.

So, you think the
Ancestor's the same?

A living network spread
across the whole ocean?

Yes. By analysing the samples that
Coake brought back from the North Sea,

we know that what
you encountered there

is part of the same organic web
we've found here in the Arctic,

and it may even be
much larger than that.

[Fulmer] If you knew
all this already,

what's Pictor
actually doing here?

Pictor has invested a lot into
opening the sea for mining

but until they deal
with the Ancestor,

it's too dangerous
to expand production.

What about Coake's poison
from the injectors?

The original poison
works on the small scale,

but it kills too fast
to spread effectively.

It's like trying to destroy a colony
of bees by squashing the individuals.

To kill the whole swarm,
you need to get the workers

to carry the poison
back to the hive.

So that it kills the Queen.

Poison the well, kill
the whole village.

Exactly. Like any network,

we believe this organism contains nodes
that hold the whole system together.

Pictor's plan is to
find one of these nodes

and introduce the poison
there at its heart,

so it spreads through
the whole system.

Coake was never interested in
mining. He's looking for its heart.

Unfortunately, yes.

So far, they haven't been
able to find it. But, erm...

That's what the survey
team were after.

Yeah.

And it's possible they found it?

It is.

That's why it attacked!

It wasn't going after the rover;
it was defending its home.

And...

Coake told me not to
tell you any of this,

so, I hope you have a
plan of dealing with him

because I'm very bad in the
job interview situation.

[Heather] Don't worry, Magnus
always looks after his own.

[Askel] But I'm a
Pictor employee.

We need to find out
exactly what Coake...

[Bremner] Fucking Askel. We
should've fixed him long ago.

[Coake] We're not here to kill
people, just that thing out there.

Once I get the
drive from Cameron.

Not only that, it was
waiting for them out there.

It knew we were coming.

And if we go after it
now, it'll know that, too.

How?

[types]

Because it has a direct
link on board with us.

We need to break it first.

You got a plan for that?

I'm working on it.

- [machine humming]
- [rocks clattering]

[tense music]

You cold-blooded bastard.

You knew it was there.

And you still sent
us right at it.
