- Previously on "The Ark"... - That story you told me

about my daughter being killed by a stray bullet...

I made it up to get you to space the weapons.

- I hope you find her. - Ark 1 and the EF 2 will depart within the hour.

When we arrive, you wait behind at a safe distance.

We'll negotiate with the others for you to peacefully join the colony.

When it's safe, I'll summon you. EF 2 just left. Why didn't we?

- Have you tried... - You may kiss the bride.

What if the pairings are so interconnected

that you can't pull one out of the coma without the other?

Oh, my God. It worked. We're ready to go.

FTL has disengaged successfully.

Coordinates confirmed. We are at the rendezvous point.

The edge of the Trappist system.

- How's it look, Alicia? - Everything we thought seems to be accurate.

If Trappist is a yellow dwarf with mass of 95% that of our sun,

Trappist-1D is the fourth planet from the star.

It's a few hundred kilometers further away than Earth was to our sun,

but it's almost identical in mass.

- Okay. Translation? - It's remarkably similar to Earth.

Chances are really good it can sustain human life.

Well, then let's see if anybody's home.

Trappist-1D, this is Ark 1. Do you read?

- Are we in comms range? - We're within the solar system.

An interplanetary signal should easily reach the planet.

There are supposed to be at least four Arks here ahead of us.

Why is nobody responding?

Ark 1, this is Home Base 1, Ground Control.

Very happy to hear you made it.

Chart a course to our location.

Right ascension 23-06-29.

Declination 05-02-28.

Angular position 240 degrees.

- Got that? - Oh, hell yes.

We'll let you know once we've set course.

We just need to make sure everything's in working order

coming out of FTL.

Of course. Take all the time you need.

We're so fortunate to have you joining us.

I've gotta be honest, never actually thought this day would come.

- I knew it would. - I wish he was here to see this.

Isn't the EF 2 supposed to be here?

They have a type 2 FTL, so it will take them a bit longer.

Do we really expect the colony to welcome an EF ship with open arms?

Let's hope so.

Their government is likely to be more receptive in person.

I'll go down there and talk to them.

Well, if there's anybody who can talk them into it,

it is Captain Sharon Garnet.

We'll see.

Hopefully we'll be able to go back to Avega with good news.

So you're a post-human, too?

You heard?

Why didn't you tell me yourself?

It wasn't relevant to your treatments.

Not relevant? This whole time,

I thought no one understood me.

- Why didn't you say anything? - I don't know.

I guess I just didn't want to remember the experience.

Kelly, you are a shining example

of everything a post-human can be.

I was nothing more than a failed experiment.

Isn't that what Mother called me?

Well, she was wrong about you, but not about me.

My implants failed a few weeks after they were put in.

- Almost killed me. - If it went that badly for you,

why would you put me through the same thing?

Because your implants are the new and improved version.

I knew they'd work, and I knew they'd be a gift.

- A real gift. - Yes.

- I'm a freak. - No.

You are so much better

than any un-enhanced human could ever be.

You can do so much for us all.

What are you doing here?

I got a call to come down and recalibrate the U-238 ratio.

Yeah, I called. But I thought Mr. Trust was on duty?

He says his sciatica's flaring up.

Funny how that happens whenever he has to do any work.

Maybe we should get him down here.

He usually does the calibration,

and the reactor is a little unpredictable.

Don't worry. I can handle it.

That shouldn't be happening.

We gotta get out of here.

I can fix it. I just need a second.

Move it!

Explosive discharge in sub-engineering.

It's a coolant leak from the reactor.

Can you access it remotely? Shut down the leak?

Just did. Activating anti-radiation scrubbers now.

Okay, this should stop the radiation

from spreading to the rest of Ark 1.

But what about whoever was in that sector?

- Normal temperature. - Alicia, can you tell me what happened?

I don't really know.

There must've been something wrong with the reactor.

Maija tried to get me out in time, but she...

The coolant hit her at close range in the face and back.

Looks like it's thanks to her

that Alicia's burns from the steam are fairly minor.

Well, I'm glad you're gonna to be okay.

Let's get Maija healthy, too.

I'm gonna head to sub-engineering

to see if Eva's figured anything out.

Sure thing.

- Hey. Oh, man. - Mm.

- Oh, sorry, did that hurt? - No, it felt good.

Your hugs are the best medicine.

Alicia's burns from the steam are fairly minor.

Okay, that's good news, right?

Maija was only there because I wouldn't leave.

Is she gonna be okay?

To be honest, I don't know yet.

- Find any explanation of what happened? - Not yet.

Of course, just as my sciatica flares up

you need me for a radiation leak.

It was a blow-out, and Alicia and Maija are in the med bay.

- What happened? - Oh, you feeling better, Mr. Trust?

There was a reactor explosion.

Some sort of problem when Alicia was adjusting the U-238 ratio.

Well, Alicia could adjust this in her sleep. She'd never get it wrong.

I need to see the reactor logs.

There's gotta be something more than this.

Good. Eva will help you.

- Keep me updated on any developments. - Yeah.

Hey, Sharon, wait up.

I have a lot to do before we get to Trappist.

I know. I just... look, I wanted you to tell you

that if you ever need to talk about anything, I'm here for you.

Thank you, but that's not necessary.

- We barely know each other here. - Really?

Because after all we've been through,

I feel like I know you better than I've ever known anyone.

But you know a person in your dream. Not me.

Hmm.

Well, it sure looked like you.

Smelled like you, too.

I don't know about you,

but I can't just turn off my emotions

like they're some kind of switch.

Neither can I.

But it's hard to get past the fact

that it was still just a dream.

I'm sorry.

Go to sub-engineering 5,

find wall panel 23, and swap the capacitor

labeled D23 with the A26 capacitor.

Sorry, I think you have the wrong WD code. You need Engineering.

No, Mr. Strickland, I'm talking to you.

Who's this?

All you need to know is that we have your daughter.

That's not possible. This is some kind of con.

It's not. I have Katheryn.

Then let me speak to her.

Daddy?

Katheryn? Is it really you? Where are you?

Careful, Mr. Strickland.

I need to make sure if it's really her.

Katheryn, do you remember the name of your favorite book?

The one we used to read every night before bed?

Pinocchio.

Katheryn, are you okay?

I'm scared. Are you coming to get me?

- Yes. - We're out of time.

Captain Garnet is about to knock on your door.

If you say anything about this conversation,

your daughter loses a finger.

Hey. They finally repaired your baton.

I told Kimi I'd bring it down.

I wanted to talk to you about

prepping some security protocols for Trappist.

Are you okay? Did I interrupt?

Sorry, I'm just, uh, preoccupied with designing the new protocols.

I'll have some actionable ones soon.

Great. I wanna go over them first thing tomorrow.

- Of course. - I'll leave you to it.

Felix.

Get some sleep.

You're looking like you're working too hard.

- We need your help. - Why are you not in your cell?

I brought her. I told her about Maija.

- I thought maybe she could help. - Help how?

I wanna use my nanites to help Maija

just like Dr. Kabir did with Angus.

It's a nice idea, but it's not possible.

What do you mean? We've done it before.

The nanites aren't built to deal with radiation poisoning.

- It would just destroy them. - Well, wouldn't they at least

speed up the healing before they're destroyed?

It doesn't work that way. I'm sorry.

I know you're just trying to help,

and I appreciate it, but that's just not the way.

Felix? Where are you?

I thought we were having a defense training session.

Sorry. Must've dozed off.

You never just doze off. You okay?

Yeah, Garnet has me working overtime

for these protocols for Trappist.

But I'll make it up to you later this week. I'm sorry.

You better. Okay.

You can do this. You got this.

You know how to do this.

You were so close, Mr. Strickland.

How did you know I didn't do it?

We know everything that happens on that ship.

Disobey us again and you will regret it.

Ow. Please don't hurt me.

Do it. Now.

What exactly will changing these two capacitors do?

Now, or she loses an adorable little finger.

Mr. Strickland? What you doing down here, mate?

- Can I help with something? - No, there's no need for that.

Security got a call about a potential loose wire,

- but it all looks good. - A loose wire?

I didn't hear anything about a loose wire.

Why would they send for security for that?

It was a security system contact, but nothing seems off.

I'll just get out of your hair.

The DOTE just overloaded.

Blew out its regulators.

- Will it endanger the crew? - No, but we need to fix it

- to make the rest of the journey to Trappist. - Can you tell what caused it?

Um, it seems like it was some sort of capacitive short circuit.

Okay, first we have a reactor blow out and then the DOTE blows?

Do you think they're connected?

I don't know. But I'll find out.

Felix, see if any of the other sectors have reported problems.

- Of course. - I'm gonna head to engineering.

Here to bring me some more bad news?

That's kind of your thing now, isn't it?

Not a great thing for a doctor.

Actually, I wanted to talk.

Here we go.

I apologize for not letting you know about my implants.

You should have told me.

Would've be nice to think I'm not the only freak around here.

Stop calling yourself a freak. You have so much to offer.

So you say.

One second you're telling me that my implants are amazing,

and then the next that they can't help when I need them to.

You already have been using them for good. Think about it.

Healing Angus, protecting Alicia from Milos' clones?

So why couldn't you have used my blood to heal Maija, too?

Because I didn't think it would help her.

You didn't think? So it might have?

Kelly, I'm just trying to do what's best for you.

What's best for me is to let me use this tech

you put inside my body to do some good,

at least make up for some of the bad I've done.

You already have.

And you'll have the opportunity again.

I'm merely trying to teach you your own limits so that one day

if I'm not around, you can protect yourself.

- Protect myself from what? - People, Kelly.

People will try and take advantage of you.

I know because they've done it to me, too.

They'll try and use you for their own needs,

and they won't care if it hurts you.

Kind of like Mother did?

Yeah.

Exactly like your mother did.

She's gonna be on that planet we're going to, isn't she?

Probably.

Kelly, did you mean what you said on the shuttle,

the next time you saw her, you would kill her?

- I meant it then. - And now?

I don't know. I really don't know.

You know, I think that people use the term genius

- a little too freely. - What's that supposed to mean?

You completely butchered the code to regulate the uranium ratio.

That's what triggered the radiation blowout.

I could code better than this when I was in diapers.

It's rudimentary and clumsy. It's a glaringly obvious mistake.

Obvious or intentional?

Hey, I need to talk to you.

- I can't talk about this anymore, Ian. - No, no, no, no.

It's not that. It's about the DOTE.

Or at least it might be. I'm not sure yet.

Look, I don't mean to be outta line,

but have you noticed that Strickland's

- been acting a little strange? - Strange how?

Well, nothing I can put my finger on just yet,

but I saw him by the power distribution junction

in Sub 5 earlier today, and now the DOTE that it supplies overloaded.

- What are you implying? - Well, like I said,

- I don't mean to be out of line, but... - Too late.

Look, I trust Strickland with my life.

- I'm sure he had good reason to be there. - Of course, but...

Right now we need to focus on fixing the DOTE

and getting to the bottom of that explosion,

not going off on some wild goose chase.

- Yes, I know, but... - And I need you to make sure

that everything is running smoothly in engineering.

All right.

- You found something? - Yes, when Mr. Trust and I

went over the codebase for the reactor,

we realized that somebody intentionally changed the coding.

- To do what? - They rigged it to vent radioactive coolant

to kill anyone near the malfunction without disabling Ark 1.

- So it was targeted? - Are you saying this was an attempted murder?

There's no other explanation for what happened.

Well, yeah, but who would want to kill Alicia and Maija?

Mr. Trust is in sub-engineering

trying to see if he can track who made the changes,

but the logs have been wiped.

Felix, I want to go through

the background check you did on Maija.

She's a 15er.

Maybe there's something we missed about her past.

Felix. You all right, mate?

- Strickland? - I'm sorry.

I was just thinking,

I saw Ian lurking around

some of the restricted areas of the ship

shortly before the explosion and before the DOTE blew.

If you have a hunch, follow it.

Wouldn't be the first time we were wrong about someone.

Log in to the personnel failsafe.

That could endanger lives. If the reading is inaccurate,

it could indicate that someone is safely inside the airlock

after an EVA when they're not and vice-versa.

Do it.

We need something else from you Mr. Strickland.

How long is this going to go on?

It will be over soon.

What do you want me to do?

You need to volunteer for a spacewalk.

So the explosion was intentional?

Unfortunately, it looks that way.

But we're doing everything we can to figure out

who had access to the code,

what their motive could be, and

whether you or Maija were the target. Or both.

So, what happened to Maija, it wasn't my fault?

No. Somebody modified the coding so the reactor would vent.

Why do you think somebody would want to hurt me?

I don't know, but I'm gonna get to the bottom of it.

In the meantime, I think it's best you stay here

until we know who's behind the attack.

Right, I almost forgot.

I asked someone to come keep you company.

- Angus! - Captain Garnet ordered me

to stay in here with you.

Well, I thought it was a bit much to ask,

but you know how forceful she can be.

I'll keep you informed.

- Are you okay? Yeah. - Yeah.

I invited Mr. Trust because we need to discuss repairing the DOTE

so we can make the journey to Trappist.

As usual, I'm the only person onboard

equipped to make a repair like that.

So we'll need to prep you for a spacewalk.

Are you sure you're feeling up to it?

I hear you've been having some back problems.

I'm fine. When do we leave?

You don't have any objections?

Well, the last time I shirked my responsibility,

Alicia and Maija ended up in med bay.

But I do have one request.

Of course you do.

What do you want, a full body massage?

Would you?

I'd like Captain Garnet to join me like last time.

I don't think that's a good idea.

What I mean to say is, it's not wise for the captain of the ship

to go on unnecessary spacewalks. I'll go.

I have no problems...

Mr. Trust and I used to work together.

He should feel as safe with me as he would with you.

Are you okay with that, Mr. Trust?

Yes, I'm fine.

Felix is one of the more competent people left on the ship.

Okay.

Okay.

Ah. Hey, can I talk to you?

I think there's something up with Mr. Strickland.

- Felix? - Yeah, I saw him messing with the capacitor junction

before the DOTE was overloaded.

Yeah, I'm sure there's an explanation.

That's what Garnet said.

But, you see, the explanation he gave me,

it didn't rightly add up.

Wait, so Garnet told you to let it go?

- Yeah. - Well, she's the captain, so let it go.

Come on. Brice, wait, wait.

I get it.

You and I, we barely know each other. So why should you trust me?

But I'm begging you. Please, just hear me out.

All right, go on then.

You and I both like Mr. Strickland, right?

So, best case, we look into it, there ain't nothing wrong.

- We can pretend it never happened. - And the worst case?

We find out there is something really terribly wrong

and we did nothing to stop it.

Plus, Garnet won't even listen to me, but she'll listen to you.

I have noticed he's a bit off.

He seems jumpy, and it's not exactly normal

for him to volunteer for a spacewalk, you know?

Yes, thank you. So, what now?

Well, if the capacitor junction

is the only thing we've got to go off,

then I suggest we start there.

It's not really my thing.

But, jazz, oh, now that's my favorite kind of music.

- Really? - Mm-hmm.

You know, Spence, he hated jazz.

He actually said it was like a group of people

who couldn't read music trying to guess what song to play.

You see? We're not the same person.

Same face maybe, but very different lives.

I do wish I had got to know him a bit better, though.

Yeah.

- One the best men I ever knew. - So keep hearing.

Really puts the pressure on, eh?

You know, for what it's worth, I've always quite liked jazz.

So there may be hope for you yet.

There she is.

Look.

Okay.

22...

These two capacitors were swapped.

Why didn't anybody catch it?

Well, such a small change you wouldn't notice it

unless you were looking for it.

That must be what overloaded the DOTE.

All right, but why would Strickland do this?

You know him better than I do, mate.

You don't think...

you don't think he could be responsible

for the radiation leak as well?

I need to speak with you.

Of course. Come in.

Um, Ian is definitely the one

behind the radiation vent.

So there's no longer any reason

for you to go through Maija's personal belongings,

which are still in med bay.

No reason at all.

Right. Got it.

But I want to build a profile on Ian before we take any action.

Okay.

All council members, please report to the ready room.

Alicia please remain in your quarters.

Ian will be filling in for you.

Sharon, we need to talk to you about Strickland.

- I don't have time for this right now. - Sharon, please...

Both of you drop it. That's an order.

Everybody settle in.

I have a lot to go over.

Sharon, what is going on?

I've gathered you all here today

to discuss crew morale.

As we move toward Trappist-1D,

we'll be facing a lot of uncertainty.

What does this new planet hold?

What will our crew's lives and roles look like moving forward?

People will be looking to you all for answers.

Okay, we can talk now, but keep your voices low.

Felix, I am so sorry it took me so long to pick up on your SOS.

The bloody finger tapping. Morse code. Of course.

Mate, I should've noticed straight away. I'm so sorry.

Will somebody explain what's going on?

I'm being blackmailed.

Ah! Well, that explains it.

Why couldn't you just tell us you needed help?

I realized whoever's doing this

can track and listen to all of us through our WDs.

And he's been watching us, too.

I assume through the former Ark 3's cameras.

But we only have cameras on the bridge.

So that's why you blocked out the windows in there.

But I don't know how he knew what I did and did not do.

We don't have cameras anywhere else, right?

Only on the outside of the ship.

According to Maija's communications with the blackmailer,

they're monitoring all our systems.

So that must be how he knew I actually tried

not to actually switch the capacitors.

Look, I'm not being funny, Felix,

but what do they have on you?

Like, why are you going along with this?

- They have my daughter. - Jesus.

You sure they really have her?

I asked her a question only she would know.

- You heard her voice? - Yes.

Yes, she's alive.

- Any ideas who could be behind this? - And what they want?

No. He's been giving me small tasks.

One of them led to the DOTE malfunction.

I'm not sure what the others are for.

Well, Maija was being blackmailed, too.

They must've had her unknowingly change the coding

to cause the radiation blow out.

- But why would they want to hurt Alicia? - Maybe they didn't.

Trust was supposed to be on duty, remember?

That's right. She was covering for him.

The blackmailer asked me to volunteer

to do the spacewalk with Trust.

He had me adjust the airlock failsafe

so it would register that the personnel had returned

to the airlock even when nobody was there.

Whoever's doing this wants Trust dead.

Yes, I think so. Because he's asked me to do two more things.

Disable the mic on Trust's EVA helmet

and do the space walk with Trust to repair the DOTE.

All right, do what he says.

We need them to think they're in control.

I have a plan, but we gotta work quickly

and we can't tell Mr. Trust

because his reaction needs to be convincing.

Hello, Mr. Strickland.

We are finally at the last step.

I thought the spacewalk was the last step.

Once you and Trust are outside of the ship,

I need you to cut both of your tethers.

- Both? - I'm afraid we can't have any loose ends.

So we need you to die with Trust.

Now why would I agree to that?

It's a simple choice really.

either you die or your daughter does.

- You ready, Mr. Trust? - Yes.

Airlock depressurizing.

It seems you have a comms problem.

Your mic, it's not working.

But we're nearly done. Are you okay with hand signals?

The airlock personnel sensor is registering two people inside.

All personnel are accounted for.

Coordinates locked for Trappist-1D.

Initiating NEPS engines now.

Trust and Strickland are dead,

or will be as soon as their air runs out.

I'll take the girl back to where she belongs.

The blackmailer's signal is gone and out of our systems.

Purge the foreign code so they can't get into our systems again.

Done.

We can speak freely now. Well done, guys.

Okay, can someone explain what just happened?

I'm sorry for making you stay in your cabin,

but Felix was being blackmailed.

I was afraid whoever was doing it may have heard

our conversation about your safety,

so it seemed smarter to keep you in there.

Wait, blackmailed? Why?

Took a while, but we figured out that Mr. Trust was the target.

They wanted him and Felix to die on the spacewalk

to make it look like an accident.

They had Felix disable

Mr. Trust's helmet comms so he couldn't call for help.

And the blackmailer had him rig the airlock

so the infrared sensors would indicate they both were aboard.

That's how I knew they were sending him on a suicide mission.

But we have cameras on the hull.

Why didn't they see a giant EF ship just sitting out there?

I swapped the camera feed to play back video

from yesterday's hull camera on that side of the ship,

so it would look like we'd left and there's no EF 2 ship outside.

But the blackmailer could still see the live feed

from where Mr. Trust and Felix were.

That's brilliant. But if the blackmailer

was monitoring our WDs and computers,

well, how did you tell EF 2 the plan

without, you know, using any of our comms?

Well, that's where we come in.

Brice and I jerry-rigged an EVA backpack

to act as an air-gapped probe.

It's not connected to any of our systems or frequencies,

so it can't be monitored.

And we encoded the probe with a message

for EF 2 explaining that when they dropped out of FTL

we needed them to approach on the side

where our cameras were blind and wait for us to leave.

All the blackmailer could see

was Mr. Trust and Felix floating into open space.

Amazing!

It's EF 2 requesting a live feed.

Put 'em through.

Hello, Captain. We made it to EF 2,

where we were received by Avega and his crew.

- Happy to hear it. - Everything go as planned?

As far as we know, they believe you and Mr. Trust are dead.

I would've appreciated being looped into the plan to fake my death.

- I could've had a heart attack. - I'm sorry about that,

but we didn't know how good of an actor you were, Mr. Trust.

I'll have you know that I played Hamlet at the New Old Globe.

Well, I seem to remember you buying the New Old Globe.

So, you cast yourself, did you, buddy?

Okay, I'm gonna need a full report

on everything the blackmailer said to you, Felix.

Request permission to prioritize something else.

I need to figure out where that signal came from.

I need to find my daughter.

Of course. Anything you need, it's yours.

Felix, we'll find her.

Anyone with an idea how to trace that signal,

talk to Alicia and Eva. It's top priority.

- Ian? - Uh-oh.

Am I in trouble?

I wanted to thank you for trying to tell me about Strickland.

I should've listened. I'm sorry.

Oh, don't worry about it.

Ian, there's something else.

I...

I also wanted to apologize for how I've been with you.

I know that we need to talk about everything.

But I just need some time.

Mm. I can give you that.

Captain Garnet?

I ran an algorithm to trace the signal.

- And? - You were right.

It's coming from Trappist-1D, but I can't pinpoint where.

- Home Base 1? - I'm afraid so.

So whoever did this is waiting for us at our new home

and we don't know who it is.
