Original subtitles

We call them advanced cultivars.

Jack's talking all kinds of rubbish about you ordering their execution.

It's true. I ordered Mitchell to take the aces out and kill them.

You were not authorized to open fire.

I know you, Julius.

You wouldn't help a drowning man unless there was something in it for you.

We both know things need to change around here, and I very much would like

you to be a part of that. You're forbidding me from searching for my

daughter. Let the rescue party do its job. Our children were dying from C-23.

We faced extinction.

I lost both of my boys.

There's still a lot about this place you don't know. How long has that been

there? We're talking tens of thousands of years.

Are you saying humans have been here before?

I don't know, but this changes everything.

The night moves two in one direction, one in the other, like an L.

The only piece that can jump the others.

Come in.

Come on.

Well?

The jawbone definitely belonged to some kind of primate.

I hate to rain on your parade, Mrs. Dowon, but there were fossil specimens

from Earth on the last transporter.

Well, if it is from here, if it is hominid, then it makes every other

scientific discovery known to man seem pretty small.

Listen, Stella.

What is it, Richard? You can tell me.

I'm only going to tell you what I know to be true.

I won't give you explanations or rationales because I don't have any.

The one thing I will say is that I don't believe in ghosts and I know I'm not

going insane.

You going to tell me what it is?

My children are here.

Richard. Here, Stella.

It's not a hallucination.

I felt their presence at first, then...

They're here with me If anyone else had told me

exactly it's me And I'm not going crazy

Does your mum know you're here?

Yeah, it's yours.

Are you just doing it to annoy her?

Because that's your job, right?

My job's rescuing damsels in distress, remember?

Beer for me.

And orange squash for the ladies.

Any of them give you any trouble, you let me know.

I'll break some jaws.

Here, Mom, no, you're in here.

You got whisky?

Course, Scotch or Irish?

Scotch. Dunno if you're new off the transporter, Sean.

Whisky, like most things connected to instant gratification, is not seen as a

resource priority.

Resource priority.

How can I talk as that?

President Tate's. Who?

Tate. Never heard of him.

Where you from?

You ever been up the coast, son?

It's in the closed zone.

Radioactive. Don't believe everything they tell you.

Man. Needs the ocean. It's my home.

Yeah.

I like to think of the highway as my home.

Roll down the window, let the wind blow my hair. You got bigger glasses.

I'll need five more.

Where's your card?

Card? Got a live one here.

I could still kick your arse.

I need to see your record or some kind of ID.

My name is Pac.

And I shall pay, old style.

Come on, pretty.

Take the lot.

And get me a decent whisky.

Makes your eyes sparkle.

Give the Gimmer a drink.

Oi!

Ah, perimeter rules.

Just don't be broken when you're 14.

When I was 14, I was a volunteer in the construction brigade.

Yeah, you were a freak though. Fucking normal 14.

It was brilliant.

everybody working together, and at night we used to sit out around a fire and

people got guitars out and... Yeah.

You sing Kumbaya?

Don't take the piss. I was building for the future.

Kicking off in the bar.

Must have been the ex-Payser involved.

Never even seen this planet!

Cowering down here in this hole!

My money's on the old boy.

We all know past officers can't run.

Mine.

Okay, mister, you need to show us some ID. Come with us.

What is it?

Diamonds.

What's this joker doing throwing diamonds around like peanuts?

Come on.

Come and see!

Come and see your planet!

He had dozens of them.

Well, maybe he knocked over Tiffany's before he jumped the transporter.

No, he found them right here, on Carpathia.

Is that possible?

We've no knowledge of any diamond deposits, so it's unlikely.

I'd rather be out looking for sparklers than a bunch of old bones.

You miss out in the beginning, you end up working the mind, not owning it.

Keep this strictly between us for now.

No need telling stellar eyes. And remember, knowledge is power.

Yeah, well, I think knowledge is overrated, actually.

This is power.

Not yet.

Fun's over.

Just beginning.

Okay. Name?

Wee Willie Winky.

Try again.

Used to call me Pac.

Got to come with us now, Pac.

We have explaining to do with regards to those diamonds, your lack of ID and

generally being a pain in the arse.

You come with me.

Why should we do that?

I'll show you where the diamonds are. Or we take you in, chuck you in the drunk

tank and make you show us in the morning.

Stop right now!

What do you mean you don't know? Has anyone seen Cass and Fleur this morning?

Whoa, whoa.

Where's the fire?

Two of my officers have gone missing.

Missing? Failed to report for duty. Last seen chasing a drunk from a bar.

Ah, Mr. Diamonds. Jack was all a glitter about him.

Yeah, I'm going to the bar.

Say hello to your daughter.

There was a fight in here last night.

That's right.

Two of my officers were present.

The man who started the fight had no idea.

Said his name was Pack.

Didn't start it, really. It just started.

Did he talk to anyone?

Expies, mainly.

And him a bit.

Guy from last night?

Yeah, he was a blast.

Claimed he was from the ocean.

The ocean?

Said it was his home.

Maybe he's an AC.

He was far too old to be an AC.

That it, then?

Interrogation over?

Two people are missing, Lily.

Is there anything else you remember?

He was pretty good with his fists.

I'd say he'd seen a few bar fights in his day.

No bar cards or anything.

Oh, and he had a tattoo.

What kind of tattoo?

The insignia of the first XPs and the date of the first human landing.

And then there's the name. Pack. Short for Patrick.

Maybe it's the Patrick who first landed on Carpathia, the Patrick Baxter who

went crazy and murdered his commanding officer.

Except that after that, he took off in a craft he knew Carpathia's energy fields

would quickly bring down.

Maybe he survived.

There were reports of a fireball.

Well, nobody ever did a proper search.

It was a fireball.

Well, he could have survived. Got out somehow.

For 11 years.

Alone. Well, now we know he wasn't necessarily alone, don't we?

So why has he come back here all of a sudden? I don't know, but he's got Cas

and Fleur. He mentioned the ocean.

I'm going to go and see.

Stella. You stopped me before, not this time. The ocean has a closed zone.

It's also the place where all life starts.

I need to see for myself.

So this won't be embarrassing?

He got us lost.

No way he was going to make it back in the dark.

Did the right thing, Stan, but... And I'm sure everyone will see it like that.

Jack's way too sensitive to take the piss out of us for it.

We're still a bit lost.

Feels much better in the daytime, though.

Did you sleep well, officer?

The ground was not too hard for you.

I could hear you grumbling for ages.

Still, if it helps.

You did the sensible thing.

Why did you lead us out here?

Well, we needed daylight for where we're going.

Take us back to Fort Haven now.

I can show you more than diamonds. Come on.

And I can show your arse the end of my foot.

Bodies.

What bodies?

Come and see.

Not far from here.

We should go back, find out who he is first.

Well, let's just see what these bodies are. He's leading us on a wild goose

chase, Cass.

Oh, what? You don't think we're a match for him?

Come on.

Where's your spirit of adventure?

Jack.

Where do you think you're going?

We have a problem.

We're up two, actually. We?

You know that man from the bar last night who was throwing diamonds around?

Yeah, I'm looking forward to round two with the ice, Matt.

Yeah, well, while he was distracting you with precious stones, you didn't happen

to work out his identity.

Who is he?

I think it might be Patrick Baxter from the Advanced Landing Party.

Where is he?

Outside the perimeter.

We need to track him down.

We? You've got no expeditionary skills. Jack, please, I need your help.

Why do you want to come so bad?

He's got Cas and Fleur.

If they're with him, then they're in big trouble.

Let's go.

Right, I've had enough of this. He said close by.

You, Rip Van Winkle, stop or I'll shoot both your legs off.

Be nice to me.

I'm your way home, remember?

Never been here before.

We're into the closed zone, aren't we? And we're not into it.

You! I'm detaining you for three court violations.

Scared? If it's full of radiation, yes, because I've got quite fond of my hair

and skin.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

It's his, that's for sure.

Don't listen to the ex-piece.

They know nothing.

How did I survive so long here?

It would help maybe if you told us a few simple things. Like who you are, what

you do and...

Oh

dear.

Looks like we've got a situation.

Greed. Materialism. The root of all evil.

When humans lose their reverence for mystery, it's quickly replaced by

pointless lust for base metals and trinkets.

Please stop coveting these meaningless items.

You can turn your attention to the universal spirit who brought us all here

in the first place.

I see your congregation is growing.

Many have tried to suppress faith, Richard. All have failed.

Some friends on the council feel I should now be given a portfolio.

Let me guess. You don't want it for yourself, but the pressure will force

you to accept.

Public welfare.

That portfolio doesn't exist.

Exactly.

Sounds to me like a catch-all phrase to allow you to stick your nose in wherever

you want. Only when it concerns the public welfare.

You really should stop scowling, Richard.

You'll age prematurely.

Oh,

you really should try working on your inner harmony.

Let's hope your boyfriend's around to help us if this goes wrong.

Rudy's not my boyfriend.

Don't tell them that.

Say you're ready to make lucky score.

Might be our last bargaining chip.

He's helping us out with the fear.

So... We can pass.

If I carry the guns.

It's okay, we don't want to pass. Let's go back.

No, no.

That option is not on the menu. Not any longer.

Did you set this up?

I've stayed with them.

They're okay.

They trust me.

I'm your safe passage.

You get the weapons back when we're out of sight.

You can trust me most of the time. No!

What did you do that for?

Where you're going, you won't need guns.

Where's your spirit of adventure right now?

He's heading towards the coast.

It's toxic out there. Well, maybe he knows something we don't. I mean, those

early surveys were hardly exhaustive.

Why has Baxter come back? No idea.

What's he want? No idea.

Where's he going from Cass and Firth? I refer you to answer one.

Well, see, well, they gave you the job of top cop.

Look, I just can't understand why you kill your friend and CO.

I mean, I know every now and again I get the urge to strangle Riley here.

He's pretty ugly.

Not exactly the full ticket.

But then I remember, you know, he's a really good tracker.

Probably got a mum out there somewhere that loves him. Listen, Baxter was the

first man down here.

Yeah, that's what turned him into a psycho.

I suppose it would be stupid to ask you to take us back now.

Two of you.

An old and crazy man. You're free to go now if you want.

You know we're not.

I can see you thinking.

Tick tock.

What are you thinking?

Where are you taking us?

What are those bodies you spoke about?

How this is all going to end?

Are you worried?

I don't have a gun.

I could have kept one. Yeah.

That's what I'm worried about.

You must want us to come with you pretty badly then.

I listen to my body.

I know what it is telling me.

This is my last journey.

I'm taking you to paradise.

You can be...

Adam and Eve.

What's the reading?

It's okay actually.

Seems like he's plotting a path through the radiation hotspots.

You've been here before?

Nope. You went to the sea?

I refer you to answer one.

Mitchell said the whole coast was a radiation danger.

Mitchell often lied to us.

You dealt with him wrong.

You and Tate.

Did we?

You look down on people too much.

It makes enemies.

Well, it's not allowing you to behave like a bunch of deranged cowboys

You any good with one of these?

Just point it at the nearest mutant and pull the trigger.

Like that?

You scared them off.

What shall we do now?

Well, I mean, we either wait till I think they're gone or we wait till it

gets dark.

What's up?

It's normally mobbed at this time.

Everyone's outside the gates looking for diamonds.

People keep hassling me because they know I've got one. It's going crazy.

Wart's all funny because of the maintenance teams have downed tools and

headed for the hills.

All the things that might have turned up.

It's got to be something that only ever caused trouble.

XP patrols are to prevent anybody outside the perimeter from going further

than the scrubland.

Pass officers are to crack down hard on anybody using any alternative currency

to the normal distribution system. We need food and light and heat.

We do not need worthless stones.

We can see the sun.

You know where?

23 degrees east of north.

We used to know a way to find out.

Can't remember now. Which way is it?

You were a flight pioneer.

Part of the Advanced Landing Party.

What?

The first man

to land on Carpathia was called Patrick Baxter.

It's you.

You know nothing.

Such innocent.

The first creature from Earth to set foot on Carpathia was an A

.C. by the name of Tigger 99.

He was bred specifically for the purpose.

All the data said that it was hospitable down here but somebody had to

actually...

put down their foot.

Tiger 99 went in first.

They'd bred the fear out of him.

He had no regrets, no fears.

He danced down here for us.

We gave him 20 minutes, then I followed him in.

Three hours later, he was dead.

They'd failed to update his immune system.

He was Carpathia's first foot.

Got a cold.

And I watched him die.

And I spent the next 24 hours with his corpse.

And I realised that the planet didn't want us.

Is it true that you went crazy and killed your CO?

Took off on your plane.

Even though you knew flight was impossible here.

They say you beat him to death.

You were best man at his wedding.

Sorry. Lucky he had no family.

He's a good tracker, though.

Are you?

Not as good as Riley.

Good enough.

Do you think they've gone?

Yeah, but not far.

If we don't hit them hard, we're gonna have a guerrilla army on our backs the

whole time.

Well, that's the thing with guerrilla wars. You hit them, they hit you back.

It just goes on and on.

Not if you take out their leader.

Why are you here?

The coast.

What?

If this ends up at the coast, I want to be there.

What's at the coast other than radioactive sea?

The sea is the place that will tell me where life started on Carpathia.

Stella, you think too much.

We need to think less.

That'll make life much easier.

You should go, Cass. I don't trust him at all.

Not him.

No weapons.

Completely lost, surrounded by ACs in the middle of a radioactive zone.

He's a killer.

He beat his commanding officer to death for no reason.

He hasn't told us the reason.

And what if he won't take us back to Fort Haven after he's shown us these

bodies? Then we have to stay friendly.

Build a relationship.

He's crazy.

He could flip out any minute.

There's something that makes me almost sorry for him.

All these stories, but nobody to talk to.

It scares me.

He talks about the planet not wanting us.

This is our home.

He has brought us safely through the closed zone.

Do you know what lies at the end of it?

I know.

I've sometimes thought that I can hear it.

Waves crashing on the beach.

I'd love to see this here again.

No choice.

Richard, you've ordered a lockdown?

At this rate, our essential services will grind to a halt.

And it's not safe out there. I've even seen people taking their kids.

Oh, I agree.

More than happy to speak to the people directly and back your decision.

Last time I let you speak, you used it to launch a public prayer session.

Well, this time you wouldn't be letting me, exactly.

I am the full council member.

I'll be sitting with my finger on the button. I hear the words universal or

spirit, I'll cut you off straight away.

What, you want me to promise?

Come on, Richard.

This is one type of materialism whose corrupting influence we can both agree

upon.

This is it, isn't it?

Where you came down.

Is this your ejector seat?

I thought that I saw the sea.

The navigation systems weren't haywire.

Right off the dial.

Threw me into a tailspin.

Bang!

Hit eject.

I got thrown clear.

I was still alive.

Both my legs were shattered.

How'd you survive?

I got free of the seat and just lay there.

Nobody was coming for me.

This planet doesn't want us.

But here we are.

Building for the future.

I'll show you your future.

Before I die.

And then I'll tell you the way home.

Don't want to die alone, do you?

For all your pride about living alone out here.

You want human beings around you when you go.

I can hear the ocean.

I'm nearly home.

President Tate has ordered the lockdown and closure of the perimeter fence.

I know this may seem draconian and even authoritarian, but his measure was fully

supported by General Counsel.

They named you poorly, Julius.

Much more of the Mark Antony about you.

We have allowed greed and avarice to return, distracting us from the

beautiful task we're undertaking.

I urge us all to reevaluate, to look inside ourselves.

Light does not lie in precious stones.

It resides in each and every one of us.

The gleam and the glimmer of our human souls.

They knew I had a diamond from the bar.

They were like savages.

This is Berger's fault.

How?

He's been denouncing the whole time in Greece.

And keeping people aware of it at the same time.

Two-faced and dangerous.

You're exaggerating.

Wake up!

He's slithering towards power.

You try and get rid of Tate. And your mum.

And then things here will be very different.

After I crashed, I could not move.

Could not find shade or water.

I lay down and waited to die.

What happened?

My dog found me.

Your dog?

Pulling retriever.

It brought me wood to splint my legs, herbs to eat, water. My canteen told me

not to give up. You had a fever.

You were hallucinating.

She was a dog.

Her name was Molly.

She left me a couple of years ago.

Watch your up.

Least imaginary friends can't die.

Everything can die.

Everything that exists can die, but there are no dogs on Carpathia.

Your way of thinking is wrong.

Your way of seeing.

You'll never understand this place.

Thinking like you do.

No, we can't go this way.

Rad's going crazy. It's right off the die.

Well, that way, then.

Well, I guess so, but it's not the way to the sea.

But there's no other way through, though, is there?

Maybe it doubles back through the peeps, you know.

These bloody flies.

They're like horseflies.

Attracted to blonde hair, we found.

Right.

Ow!

I told you.

Blonde hair and big brains. You were asking for it, mate.

Got me as well.

Must have been a past sympathiser.

Jack.

Jack!

Jack.

Where's your knife?

I'm gonna get you.

Okay, stay still. Oh, God.

Breathe.

Adrenaline.

No!

Okay, just breathe.

Breathe.

Okay?

It's never happened before. No.

Insect bites can be like that.

It's crazy.

Don't worry, I won't tell anyone.

Stay here.

Don't go back.

We got lives back there.

Good lives.

Memories too.

So where are these bodies?

How did you know where the radiation danger was?

What's your name?

Cass.

The planet told me, Cass.

Where's he going now? Does he want us to swim after him?

Excuse me, one second.

So the perimeter lockdown appears to be working?

Good. I was just speaking to the head of education.

Yeah, I saw that.

She seems amenable to my suggested changes to the syllabus. At the moment

it's somewhat dogmatic and not embracing of competing theories.

This issue of your portfolio?

Yes, public welfare.

I'll read to it.

It's disappointing.

I thought I'd tell you personally.

Appreciate that.

Do you realize that two-thirds of the majority on council will overturn your

veto? And I've no doubt you'll cultivate your contacts in order to achieve that.

I'd rather not make your position as president untenable.

That schtick won't work on me, I'm afraid, Julius.

You've had removing me from office your objective since day one of your arrival.

I won't make it easy for you.

What are we gonna do now?

Let the sea take you.

You don't know where we are.

The sea's rising.

You said I would take the beach back.

What are we gonna do, Cass?

Head out, I guess.

We'll get lost.

But we can't stay on a disappearing beach, can we?

Not so magical now, is it?

Where are they?

Are we safe here?

Readings dropped to practically zero.

Bingo!

What's that?

It's a time machine.

Where are they?

What's he done with them?

This isn't the way. We didn't come this way. You're right, but I don't

understand because it wasn't the other way either.

What is it?

I didn't see. I didn't see some sort of snake.

There's no snakes here.

Really? Well, maybe it was a golden-blooded retriever then.

We should go back to the beach.

Oh, good idea.

We wait till dark, then use the stars for navigation.

Can you? Oh, don't be stupid. Of course I can't. Well, at least at the beach we

can try and work out what to do without getting even more lost.

What was that? It came from the ocean.

That, my girl, is a standard-issue orange parachute flare.

It's commonly used by our beloved colleagues from the expeditionary base.

Shall we?

Nice.

Yeah Are we glad to see you?

Must have been our journey Not really You know the way back.

Of course. I know the way back.

I'm an expeditionary Where's backstop?

Guess his heart gave out why did he bring you all the way out here?

No, he was dying

He didn't want to be alone at the end.

He said he was going to show us our future.

The bodies he mentioned, did he say where they were?

He was going to show us.

Time ran out on him.

You give me a few moments.

I need to look around.

Sea's coming in, Stella.

She better hurry up.

I want to get home.

The beach is disappearing!

Hurry!

Who are they?

It's a family.

Father, mother, child.

Fossilised. The bodies?

Wasn't a fantasy.

Come on, come on!

Look, come on, we gotta go, we're gonna get caught off!

Look it's coming in fast back now Do you want to take me maybe we should

know Come on

How old do you reckon?

I don't know.

But were they humans or were they... I refer you to answer one.

Here's the thing, though.

We found fossils of whatever.

A homo, octopus, whatever you want to call it.

All we've seen here alive isn't more advanced than the fly that bit me.

Yeah.

So I'm no scientist, but...

Wouldn't you expect there to be more complicated species running around?

You know, trees, flies and a few birds. I mean, where have they all gone?

Patrick Baxter said we didn't understand Capethea yet. He didn't know how to look

properly.

What? What's that?

Excellent.

Maybe that snake you saw. It could have been a snake.

You know, we have to deal with the ACs.

I'm not going to let them get away with what they did to Riley.

Morning, everybody.

This is Radio Free Carpathia here to remind you that diamonds are not

forever, actually.

Now, I'm no fan of rules and regulations, but I'm glad they're locked

against for a while.

Only place for a diamond is in the needle that makes the vinyl sing.

That was crazy.

Like a dream.

But it's real.

I can still smell the salt on my skin.

See you tonight now.

You're back.

I'm pleased.

How uncharacteristically effusive of you.

Still think I'm crazy?

I never said that.

Maybe we need to redefine our understanding of supernatural.

Perhaps what's natural on Carpathia might be different than what was natural

on Earth.

Okay.

Well, we have your hallucinations. Stella.

Visions, then.

Whatever you want to call them.

We're also finding the remains of some kind of proto-human life form.

Now thought to be extinct.

Richard, let's just focus on the real. That for which we have physical

evidence. You don't count my testimony as evidence.

I can't find any evidence that isn't based in the supernatural and I don't

believe in the supernatural.

Nor do I.

Opening data package five.

This is Alchemist to CT-10.

Richard Tate has violated his mission and has no ambition beyond some vague

utopian ideals.

I will ensure that neither he nor his supporters are in a position to offer

any resistance upon your arrival.
