All trains departing lower levels.

The Collective runs
by everybody doing their part.

Report suspicious activity
to health and safety.

Health and safety is here to help.

Just look for the black and white vests.

- After you.
- Thank you.

This train serves
the north-east work sectors.

This is a message from the Collective.

Are you overly tired?
Or experiencing increased sensitivity?

Maybe you have difficulty concentrating.

You may have S.O.S. Switched On Syndrome.

...a further 43 degrees along this orbit

that the holst probe will begin
the 110 minute descent

into TK-14's atmosphere...

...bombs dropped for the span
of 28 days and obliterated 99.6%

of usable arid land
on the Earth's surface.

And event that changed the course
of human kind forever,

and now known as the great war.

...of the two tracts of land
that survived the great war.

The Peninsula still stands 44 degrees
west of the Collective.

And is a wild primitive area,
containing empty, dilapidated buildings...

...and little is known of the primitive
nature of the Peninsula's inhabitants.

The defects living there are ruled
by emotion and base desires.

An ancient vestige of our past.

This image shows Equis 12 leaving Earth's
orbit on last week's interstellar mission.

Who wrote the text for this feature?

Me, I did.

- Does this accurate, Nia?
- Yes.

Except the rocket's fission thrusters
are cylindrical, these appear triangular.

Thank you. I'll change that.

Iris is back from conception duty.

She got back yesterday.

She had a defect.

How do you know?

- She told me.
- Did she have the bug?

No. She says she's clean.

Where is everyone watching
the landing tomorrow night?

I'm watching it in Bishop Park. I'm going
to leave work early to get a good seat.

If I arrive early enough I can get
a seat close to the screen.

David!

David!

David!

David!

You're in safe hands now folks.
Please continue on your way.

Total number of puzzles solved, 2224.

The following is an update on last night's
disturbance in living block 5-J.

Health and safety officials subdued two
individuals engaged in coupling activities.

And both have been transported to the
defective, emotional, neuropathy facility,

the den, for containment
and emotional suppression treatment.

The incident is an outbreak
of defective behavior.

Remember, couplers are a danger
to themselves and to all of us.

Physical contact, touching,
or displays of emotions

are signs of an individual
infected with S.O.S.

If you see the signs, report the couplers
to health and safety immediately.

Let's do our part to help contain
this dangerous epidemic.

...with no infrastructure
the Collective erected a patrolled border

to contain any resurgence of chaos...

- Did anybody see that?
- See what?

- That's unfortunate.
- He's already dead.

- Anyone recognize him?
- Not sure.

- Don't think so.
- That's our first jumper in a while.

His head was no match for that concrete.

I just remembered there was a suicide
in my building last night,

a woman slit her throat.

I hope they find someone
to cover his work.

Even before the demise, humankind knew
the importance of space exploration.

As the Collective,
we prioritize it and perfect it.

Now, 798 million miles away,

as we brace the surface of TK-14,

we move one step further in our
understanding of ultimate reality.

Okay, everybody, this is it.

3... 2... 1... Mark.

Last but not least. Speculative non-fiction,
the title is inside the Peninsula.

Silas, will you talk us
through the lead illustration?

Silas?

Sorry, Leonard.

I went with the scene on the Peninsula where
the defects huddle together for warmth.

In my research I found that they form
social bonds with each other

to help alleviate
something called anxiety.

- Very good.
- Thank you.

While scientists are making great strides in
understanding this debilitating condition.

A reliable cure for S.O.S.
has yet to be found.

And most S.O.S. sufferers will experience
complete emotional disability.

In as little as four to six months.

Prior to eventual containment at the den,

Kappa Rho inhibitors offer a reliable
means of dampening symptoms,

and slowing the stages of the disease.

- Thus allowing sufferers to maintain...
- What stage?

- Excuse me?
- What stage are you?

Oh, I'm just here for a check up.
Strictly precautionary.

I'm Jonas.

Silas.

What stage are you?

Two.

You look healthy.

Well, I have my good days and my bad days.

- Silas?
- Good luck.

Thank you.

The ground was rushing towards me.

I couldn't breathe.

I felt like my stomach was...

it was in my mouth.
It was extremely unpleasant.

You had a nightmare, Silas.

I never want to experience
anything like it again.

How long have you had these symptoms?

Maybe three days. No longer than that.

I'm going to take some blood now.

Can you give me your hand please, Silas?

Your test is positive, Silas.

You're only stage one.

A woman in my office recently
gave birth to a defect, I...

I couldn't have caught it from her.
Not if she's clean, right?

Even if this woman did have S.O.S.,
it isn't contagious.

I'd like to start you on a full course
of inhibitors immediately.

There's no reason why you shouldn't
be able to live a normal life.

At least for a while.

- And the den.
- You mustn't think about that for now.

The den is a long way off for you.
A cure is right around the corner.

Where were you, Silas?

I went to the cafeteria to drink some tea.

Is that where you got the bruise?

No. Last night in Tai Chi class, the man
next to me accidentally struck me.

Silas, you weren't
in Tai Chi class last night.

Yes, he was.

I saw him.

What's that?

It's a bumblebee.

Careful. Don't they sting?

According to the laws of aerodynamics
they shouldn't even fly.

But they don't know it.
So they fly anyway.

Be part of the solution by taking your
inhibitors. Your health is the health...

Picking up.

If you're watching this film,
your doctor has diagnosed you with S.O.S.

Switched On Syndrome.

As members of the Collective,
we hear a lot about Switched On Syndrome.

Here is important information about how
this debilitating disease will affect you.

And how you can manage it responsibly
before eventual containment

at the defective emotional
neuropathy facility, the den.

Switched On Syndrome
is a malfunction of the gene silencing

that controls human emotions
and eliminates human flaws.

But in Switched On Syndrome, problem
genes lose their silencing and re-awaken.

Leading to unpredictable sensory
experiences and behavioral defects.

Until a cure is available.

Inhibitors are the only effective means
of slowing the disease's staging,

while dampening the onset of emotion.

And while the causes are unknown,

we do understand
the disease's progression.

During stage one, intermittent feeling,

you will experience
difficulty concentrating,

depression, pain, overwhelmed feelings,

impulsivity and sensitivity to light.

As the disease progresses
into further stages,

consistent low level emotion
and emotional volatility,

these symptoms will worsen.

In stage four, acute behavioral chaos,

you will no longer function as
a productive member of the Collective.

And your doctor will prescribe
containment at the den.

Where you will be provided
with electro restraint,

emotional suppression,
and a pain-free death scenario.

If you have questions
about your condition,

notify your doctor or health and safety
official for immediate attention.

And remember,
a cure is right around the corner.

Hello, Silas.

Hello, Nia.

- Individuals no longer...
- Nia...

I read your article
on the Harlow Nine probe.

I was wondering if you
could look over my impressions.

But you're speculative non-fiction.

I switched with Leonard.

Why?

I felt like a change.

There's a staff meeting
tomorrow afternoon.

Why don't I review your work then?

I'd really appreciate your input at this
early stage, if it's not too much trouble.

This isn't what I described.

- Isn't it?
- Harlow Nine is a lander not an orbiter.

- And where's its robotic arm?
- Are those for a feature?

Yes.

I thought you were
speculative non-fiction.

I switched with Leonard.

One more thing. The Eleos landing
was made on a flat surface.

The way you've drawn it,
it looks almost mountainous.

Is there anything else
I can help you with, Silas?

Thank you for your feedback.

You're welcome.

It's this vastness...

inaccessibility, symmetry...

and the permanence of the night sky
that made it a natural topic

for philosophers pursuing
the understanding of ultimate reality.

It's this vastness...

inaccessibility, symmetry...

and permanence of the night sky

that made it a natural topic
for philosophers...

At Atmos our past is not a relic
we should leave behind.

But a living creation,
something to be handled.

The work we do at Atmos
is that which links our present.

I'm so sorry.

You dropped these.

Thank you.

It's about time you all knew.
Last week I... tested positive for S.O.S.

I'm stage one. I'm taking inhibitors.

There is no evidence that the bug
is contagious. However...

if it makes you feel more comfortable,
I'll wear a face mask from now on.

- Silas, I'm very sorry.
- How long do you have?

It's difficult to say.

Is this why you stopped doing
speculative non-fiction?

I don't know, Rachel.

Possibly.

A face mask is a little extreme. Although I
don't think he should sit with us anymore.

And you should have your own mug.

Do you all agree?

We cured cancer. We cured the common cold.

We can cure S.O.S.
You're going to live, pal.

Thank you all.

This has to stop.

If it continues I'll be forced
to report you.

Do you understand?

You have the bug. Don't you?

I'm clean.

The day that man
jumped off the building...

you saw his body out the window, you...

you looked...

affected.

There have been other times, too.
I've been watching you.

The way you look at the world,
the way you experience things.

I'm clean.

It's different.

What you are going through
must be very difficult.

If you were clean, this conversation
wouldn't even be taking place.

You'd have reported me already.

Am I right?

Goodnight, Silas.

- Good morning, Silas.
- Good morning, Nia.

And finally, the Harlow landing.

Nia, do you have any more notes for me?

No. Your changes work well. Thank you.

Onto the next article then. Zoe?

These are my impressions of the hot
flow anomaly on the planet BL4.

The visible bioshock...

- Goodnight, Nia.
- Goodnight, Rachel.

Your bruise went away.

You noticed that?

I've had the bug a year and three months.

I didn't want to go to the doctor.
I just sort of knew.

You know there is really nothing
any... anyone could do to help.

And I'm scared of the meds and then...

Doesn't seem fair at first.

Right?

You know I could live...
I could live with it.

But every day was different
and that was the hardest part.

Every single time I thought I knew
something or learned anything, I...

didn't.

And I felt this guilt every time
I wanted to go back to normal.

Like I shouldn't want that.

Every day I am practicing
unbearable discipline and self-control.

You realize what would happen
if anyone saw us in here right now?

We'd go straight to the den.
It's a death sentence.

One of my neighbors missed
two doctor's appointments.

I haven't seen him in six weeks.

We can't do this again.

It can't happen, you know that.

We just...

We just have to hold out for the cure.

Will you stay in here with me
a little longer?

- Are you okay?
- Yeah.

I need to go.

Nia, are you staying late again tonight?

- I'm not sure.
- I wish I had your kind of work ethic.

I received a message from Zoe.

On her way to work this morning
she received a conception duty summons.

Could one of the illustrators
present for her in the staff meeting?

I'll do it. I'll be glad to.

- Good night, Nia.
- Good night, Kate.

They may simply be labeled as dualist.

Two subject concepts and materialist
one subject concepts.

The way you've been looking at me...

I can't help it.

I can feel it.

What does it feel like?

It feels just wrong.

No, no. No.

It's not wrong.
It's completely right. This feels...

completely right.

I'm scared.

I'm so scared.

Me too.

Hello, Leonard.

Silas.

I didn't expect to see you here this late.

Have you thought about killing yourself?

No, that's not until stage three.

Why is Nia's interface on?

Have you been snooping again, Silas?

Excuse me?

A month ago, health and safety
saw you on Nia's interface after-hours.

I was told to keep an eye on you.

Is there something you want to tell me?

As the manager here at Atmos,

one of my duties is to maintain
the safety and welfare of the team.

Therefore, if I believe that someone
on the team is in danger,

or involved in an activity that is unsafe,

I'd report him, or her,

to health and safety.

Unless, of course,
the activity were to stop.

Does that make sense to you?

Yes.

Good.

Shall we get out of here, Silas?

- Goodnight.
- Goodnight, Nia.

He knows.

What are we going to do?

We have to stay away from each other.

I can't... stay away from you. I can't...

not be around you.

Not in that office. Not when
I see you everyday. It's impossible.

I thought about it. The best thing
is for me to leave Atmos.

Get a job somewhere else.

It's like you said...

we have to hold on for the cure.
That's all we should be thinking about.

Nia...

Have you received
a conception duty summons?

Let's work together
to populate the Collective.

Insemination is quick and solitary,

and during gestation you'll be supporting
and growing the Collective.

If you received a summons please...

Are you sure this is what you want?

I'm sure.

Positions at Atmos are highly coveted.
Once we've placed you...

I understand.

Because of my diagnosis,
I think a work environment

where I interact less with others
would be better.

For everyone's benefit.

That's a very responsible attitude.

Oh, Nia... meet Dominic,
our new illustrator.

Dominic, this is Nia, she works in text.
You'll be interpreting her words.

- It's very nice to meet you, Nia.
- Welcome to Atmos.

Follow me.

I also design rockets. I could have been
an engineer, but I lacked patience.

I think working at Atmos
is a vitally important job.

Science is a process
and often leads to dead-ends.

But here...

we're delivering the answers,
we're educating people.

Knowledge is sacred,
and Atmos is the new scripture.

If you think about it,
we're kind of like preachers.

Where did you study?

I'm self-taught. I've always drawn
pictures ever since I was a child.

One of my guardians, Barnabas,
nicknamed me Little Da Vinci.

Did you hear? Zoe was inseminated.

It means she's clean.
She didn't catch the bug from Silas.

- That means we're probably clean, too.
- I'm definitely clean.

I donated blood last week.

Silas?

Jonas?

You okay?

Okay.

Do you want to take a walk?

I miss her.

I don't know, it felt so good
to be around her that...

we were nearly tripping up
and I couldn't see...

couldn't see anything bad
happening to her.

You two were in love with each other.

That's very clear.
You were right to end it though.

I think dealing with this disease
on your own is hard enough,

coupling would just make it unbearable.

You know...

about a year ago...

I also made a connection with a woman.

Though, it didn't end well.

So sorry.

Your friend, what stage is she?

She's self-diagnosed.
She's fighting the bug without drugs.

She's a "hider."

Not many people can do that successfully.
I think hiders are...

I think they are wired differently.

You know we have one in our group.
Bess. She's a...

she's a doctor at the den, of all places.

Listen, I'm part of a group.
A support group.

With Bess and others from my work.

To talk openly about how we feel.

If you're interested I'll vouch for you.

It might help.

I'd be willing to try.

Great.

Nia, it's me again. Until you give me
some text to work with, I am idle,

and that doesn't seem
like a very good use of my time.

I'm almost finished, Dominic.

All the other illustrators
received their pieces hours ago...

I'm almost finished, Dominic.

But I appreciate your patience.

Of course.

Silas, you made it.

This is great. I'm glad you're here.

Everybody, this is Silas.
The one I was telling you about.

Silas, this is Bess. Peter and Thomas.

Gilead, Max and Alice.

Come take a seat.

...and then after lunch
he just kept staring at me,

like he could tell
I wasn't taking my meds.

And I wanted to say something to him.

But then I thought,
what if I'm just imagining it?

So I turned and walked away.

And all I could think is that he knows.

He's going to report me
and I'm going to get caught.

And I can't stop thinking that.
All the time...

It's natural.
It's happened to every one of us.

Yes, but all I could think is that I am
going to the den. I'm going to the den.

It's over. And they're...

What happens in the den?

Half the people who are
brought in commit suicide.

The staff encourages it
and stand by while it happens.

And that's the preferable option anyway.

Compared to electro restraints
and all the other methods of treatment.

But there is value in living.

Being a hider reminds you of that.

I still don't know how you do it.

Working for health and safety
is hard enough.

Yes, it's difficult to see things
and not be moved.

But that's what being
a hider is all about.

So you do small things to help.

Just looking someone in the eyes,

can make them feel they're not alone.
Give them hope.

But under no circumstances
do you interfere.

You have to tell yourself, do not risk
your job, do not risk your life.

But why stay in a position
where you feel so much risk?

- You could ask to be reassigned.
- I'd rather be with people who feel.

Who feel intensely.

It reminds me of who I am
and why I choose to keep on living.

Everybody says it's not contagious.

But after all these years
as awful as it is,

everyday I feel a stronger...

affinity with other people.

See I don't believe all the research.

Feelings engender feelings.

S.O.S. isn't even a disease,
that's what they say but...

switched off is something they do
to us between conception and birth.

S.O.S. is who we really are and...

the inhibitors are just
another attempt to squash that.

- I don't know.
- It's so hard.

It's lonely.

At least with the inhibitors
I can get by but now...

I would rather feel nothing.

Nothing is better than this.

It's okay. It's okay.

I could never have imagined
what love felt like. It's strange...

like a little tornado going around and...

Yeah.

That's why I was so scared of it at first.

It's about giving,
I want you to take everything,

I don't even know what it is,
I just want you to take it from me.

I just want to...

I want to run.

I want to run... both of us...

as fast as we can, outside, just take off.

It's so weird, I'm like...

I keep on thinking about...

Ever since we were kids
it's been drilled into us that...

our purpose is to explore
the universe, you know.

Outer space is where we'll find...

the answers to why we're here and...

where we come from.

It's like everyone's...

searching for these answers 800
million miles away and the truth is...

the answers are right in front of us.

I know why I'm here.

Me too.

What are we going to do now?

We just spend as much time
here together as we can.

Go to work, act normal, but then...

at night...

we're together.

Okay.

What did you look like
when you were little?

Have you always had these freckles?

I don't know.

I think so.

- Did you grow early?
- Did I grow early?

Yeah, I was tall until I wasn't.

I was a little round kid.

What was your favorite subject?

I liked history. How about you?

I always really loved to write.

- What did you write when you were a kid?
- I always liked to write poetry.

I liked the school trips as well.

When we got to go...
to the great war museum...

to see how the bombs dropped
and wiped out the cities and stuff.

I see a future outside of this room.

Some place out there in the vastness
of everything we know.

In all those millions of miles.

Dominic FYI. The article's finished.

You gave it to me already.
I'm working on it right now.

No, the one after this. On the extraction
of superfluids from neutron stars.

No pressure.

I wish I could explain this
to everyone else.

I'm sick of being...
scared of getting caught.

I want people to know
and not think we're sick.

The significant breakthrough came
with the isolation of the bulbar cell line,

allowing an effective
genetic re-silencing,

without triggering
the systematic organ malfunction

that had marked earlier attempts.

To be clear, this is not
another Kappa Rho inhibitor.

It's a cure that restores the health
and systematic order to the individual.

With the Ashby Eni cure,
it is only a matter of time

before all current S.O.S. cases are
treated, and future cases prevented.

The ENI cure is injected
directly into the neck,

leaving a small coin-like scar,
a quick and simple procedure.

Once administered, the drug requires
a six hour absorption period,

before the disease
is completely neutralized.

After which point, regardless of stage,

the patient is restored to normal health.

Mass production of the drug
is already underway.

And shipments are being made available
to public clinics immediately.

Individuals diagnosed with S.O.S.
need not suffer another day.

Contact your doctor immediately
to receive the Ashby ENI cure...

and rejoin the ranks of equals...

We're gonna remember this feeling.

We're gonna live every day remembering
and we're not gonna feel it.

We're not even gonna exist anymore.

It's not over.

We're not doing that.

- So you don't want the cure.
- No.

Do you?

No.

This is Nia.

We want to go to the Peninsula.

At my old post,
I took part in an air patrol.

We wouldn't fly directly
over the Peninsula, but...

I could see it from a distance.
It's totally overgrown.

If anyone actually lives there
it's in a completely primitive state.

- How do we get there?
- You're seriously considering this?

- We've already decided.
- You know you'll be on your own out there.

There will be no one to look after you.

Whatever we go through
it will be together.

I know how you're feeling,
but you're not thinking of all the risks.

If we stay here we'll be found out.
We'll get the cure.

You know, it's many years ago...

I was not much older than you are now
when I got the bug,

no one even knew
what S.O.S. was back then.

People were getting it, and most
of them would commit suicide.

There was a young man in my living block,

I could tell he was a hider, just like me,

but no one dared mention it back then.

One night...

he knocked on my door
and told me that he and two others...

were going to the Peninsula
and he wanted me to go with him.

Of course, there was no way I was going.

I knew they were headed for their deaths.

Bess.

A few months after he left
were the loneliest I ever felt.

We'd only spoken that one time.

More than all the suicides I've seen.

It was his death that was the most...

unnecessarily wasteful.

Such a waste.

That was a new feeling for me.

But you don't know that he died.

What if he didn't?

I can talk to my old colleague. He was
the pilot who took us on the air patrol.

If they get caught, the whole plan could
be traced back to you or to the group.

You said interfering was too risky.

If you make this decision
you know... there is no turning back.

If you do manage to get out...

you can never return.

Of course.

When you get to the border
ask for Oliver, he will fly you.

What if he gets caught?

He won't.

Good luck.

Thank you.

Welling is the closest station
to the border.

Trains don't go there until the weekend.
I checked the schedule.

We could leave on Saturday.

Three days.

- You're shaking.
- So are you.

- Are you sure?
- Yes. Are you?

I got a conception summons.

We're leaving in two days.

By the time they come looking
for you we'll be gone. Ignore it.

My tag is blocked,
I'm not gonna get on the train.

I won't make it through
any of the check points.

Look, it's just a summons, right?

It's not like they're going
to inseminate you...

They'll check my blood.
They'll see I have the disease instantly.

Yeah, but they can't force you
to get the cure.

I've been diagnosed,
no one's forcing me to get it, are they?

Besides, the clinics
are overwhelmed right now.

All that's going to happen is, they'll
tell you you've tested positive for S.O.S.,

and that you should see your doctor
immediately, that's it. Then get out of there.

Nothing's changed.

We're leaving Saturday, 10 o'clock train.
You've missed the whole morning of work.

You should get over there right away.
I'll come after my shift.

Meet me behind the clinic.

Okay.

I received a summons.

- Hello, Nia.
- Hello, doctor.

Lie back for me, please.

I'm going to take a sample
of your blood, okay?

Okay.

I have the bug, don't I?

Nia, you're pregnant.

- What is it?
- She's pregnant.

She got called for conception duty and they
found out. They're taking her to the den.

- You need to calm down.
- I'm calm, I'm calm, it's fine.

- When did they take her?
- About an hour ago or something.

- Well, listen, I will contact Bess...
- No, no. No. Not Bess.

- She won't help us. Ask someone else.
- There is no one else. Bess is our only hope.

Listen, you can't be seen
around here like this.

I'm fine, but let me come with you.
Let me help her...

- Go home, I'll contact you. Wait there.
- I can talk to them. Let me go with you.

Don't attempt to see Nia.

Silas, go home. Trust me.

- What are they gonna do to her?
- Just calm down.

You need to stay calm,
or they'll give you the cure.

Give me a couple hours.
Go home and wait there.

- Jonas?
- Get dressed as fast as you can.

And listen to me carefully,

last week, a woman
was brought in called Eva.

She was stage three. Last night she
knotted a garbage bag over her head,

suffocated, she's dead.

Now you... are going
to switch places with her.

Eva didn't kill herself
last night, you did.

You are Eva, she was you.

- You're gonna walk out of here.
- Just...

Hold out your arm. Your left arm please.

Okay.

All right.

You are Eva.

- Got it?
- Ready?

I told Silas to wait at his apartment.
You'll find him there.

The following message is an update
on the security breach at the den.

The Collective wishes to congratulate
health and safety official,

I.D.: 22564943

who alerted authorities to three individuals
operating against protocol at the den.

Two of the three were health
and safety officials,

and the third was a physician at the den.

All are currently safe
and receiving the Ashby ENI cure.

So that they may return to work as
productive equals in the Collective.

The ENI cure will now be required
for those diagnosed with,

or suffering from S.O.S.

And mandatory S.O.S. testing
will begin immediately,

for all health and safety officials
as well as medical professionals.
