All language subtitles for Ascension - S01E02 - Night Two_track1_[und]

- (viondra):
Previously on ascension...

- Your father was convinced that
the us could launch an
interstellar spacecraft

Right then in the '60s,
with the technology we had.

- Quite a dream dad had.

- (christa):
Lorelei!

- (denninger):
We lost one of our own in a
tragic accident, lorelei wright.

- I don't have experience
with anything like this.
- Nobody does.

- Did one of our
space heroes commit a murder?

- It would appear so.

- I don't know who killed her!

- Who was she afraid of?
- It's who's afraid of her.

- This is my father's legacy.
I won't have it tarnished.

- Sometimes,
i think i know things,

Like i can still feel it,
underneath everything,

Like a skull under the skin.

- Your fiefdom is built on
your being able to convince me

That you have complete control.

- (enzmann): You think i don't
have total control?

The minute they doubt the
validity of their environment

Is the minute
the experiment fails.

Ascension is a lifeboat
for humanity.

- (crew):
I pledge allegiance

To the flag of
the united states of america

And to this mission
to which we're bound,

One people under god for the
hope and future of humanity.

- I heard an assistant
in maintenance

Wrote that
ridiculous pledge.

- The words
aren't the point.

Those children need to hear what
we heard, that they're heroes,

And that this ship is
humanity's last best hope.

(monitor beeping)

- We don't know
what we'll find

When we reach our new home
world in the proxima system,

So the terra chamber
is used to simulate

Different environments
that we might encounter.

(chuckling)

You really know your
way around out there.

- Thanks!

I'm apprenticing
with dr. Choi.

- Oh, pretty and smart!

All right!

If you'll all follow me,

We're off to
the legacy seed banks.

(cell phone ringing)

- Director warren.

- Harris! You should be
receiving a file any minute now.

- What is it?

- A cv for a consultant
i'm sending over.

We've never had a murder
on ascension before.

You could use the help.

- This is the most
important endeavour

In human history, katherine.

I won't let it be ruined
by your watchdog!

- Play nice, harris.

You've built your
own private kingdom,

But remember
kings can be deposed.

- So, what's this
test supposed to do,

Rate the amount of crazy
of everyone on board?

- (juliet): Just say the first
thing that comes to your mind.

Ascension.

- Trap.

- Father.

- I was only a baby when
he died in that fire.

- I meant how
you feel about it.

- It was an accident.

A cobalt generator
malfunctioned,

And 20 people died.

The captain saved
the xo and ophelia.

- Most people think
the psych-eval was designed

To assess personality.

You know what its
true purpose is?

To determine one's
breaking point.

- You're talking
about the crisis?

- Realizing you've met
everyone you'll ever meet

And that you've seen
every place you'll ever go

Can make anyone panic.

What's troubling you?

- I don't think stokes did it.

- Aaron, part of life
on this ship

Is the compact we make.

Even if you're right and
the murderer is still here,

Perhaps the best thing we can do
is to go on with our lives.

- And what if he kills again?

(humming and beeping)

- I see you served as
a military investigator

For nearly 10 years.

Exactly how much did katherine
tell you about the project?

- She described it as
a sociological experiment.

- Ascension was designed
to test the long-term viability

Of intergenerational
space flight.

As far as the crew believes,

They're halfway through
a 100-year journey.

- And one of them
is a murderer.

- I'm convinced we have
the killer in custody.

- Obviously, director warren
isn't as confident as you are.

- Exactly how do you plan
on investigating a murder

When you can't visit
the crime scene,

Never question a witness,
never review the evidence?

- Well, i certainly wouldn't
grab the closest suspect

And hope for the best.

- Other-than-
honourable discharge.

- I assume it also
tells you why.

- It was 2004.
You weren't asked, but you told.

Did it feel like a stain
on your honour to be silent,

That lying to your
comrades diminished you?

- Are you worried
about my morality?

- Not at all.

Anyone who's spent a few years

Working for katherine

Must have accumulated
a number of things

They've learned not to tell.

- Dr. Enzmann, think of me

As a consultant
sent down from corporate.

I'll file my report, and i'll
be out of here in a few days,

A week at most.

- You'll find the project
a well-oiled machine.

Your time here will be
nothing if not uneventful.

It might even be
a little boring.

- Well, i hope so.
Makes my job easier.

- This is your blue badge.

You can only speak
to other blue badges.

If a person with
another colour badge

Tries to interact with you,

Please report it to
security immediately.

- Blue badge, got it.

- Every fruit, vegetable
and grain from our ancestors

Is stored in
the legacy seed banks,

Where they'll be kept

For hybridization
and transplantation

Once we reach proxima.

It won't be exactly
the same as on earth,

But it will be as close
as we can get.

Now, over here,

They're measuring
the ph levels.

Now, the ph levels have
to match within 18%

For the seeds to take root.

Otherwise, nothing will grow,
and we'll get to proxima...

- Admiring the view?

(sighing)

Come on, you can't tell me
that doesn't bring you back

To your steamy night
in the landing craft.

- Presley, i told
you nothing happened.

- Why not? You
have your implant.

- Doesn't mean
i have to use it.

- My advice: Keep
your options open.

Have fun before the ship's
computer matches you

With someone for
mechanical procreation.

- (rawles): What are you
2 ladies whispering about?

I'd hate to have
to write you up.

- Um, we were
just talking about...

- Seeds and
fertilization.

(laughing)

- All right, kids,
let's wrap it up!

We'll let maintenance finish
cleaning out the mud traps

Or whatever they're doing.

- Changing nutrient recyclers.
- Huh?

- If you wanna
get technical.

- Yeah, like i said,
you're scooping out the mud.

- If you don't change out
the nutrient baths,

Then the seeds don't gestate.

The seeds don't gestate,

Then they fall back
a generation,

And eventually we starve.

But i guess leading a tour
is important too.

- What's your
problem, decker?

Huh?

- (students): Oh!

- (male student):
That guy's crazy!

Somebody stop them! Hey!

(groaning)

(women screaming)

- Tell me what happened!

- Explosion in the terra lab.

(alarm beeping)

- (whispering): Jesus!

- Pull the video. Work backwards
from the explosion.

Track everyone in and out of
that lab the last 24 hours.

- (carrillo):
They're venting the flame.

Get down!

(man 1 grunting)

- (man 2): Give me
a hand with this.

On the count of three.

- (man 1): Ready?

- No future.

That's exactly
what we'd have

If the rest of the
seed bank was destroyed.

Get that washed up before
someone sees it, all right?

Injuries?

- Cuts and scrapes,
smoke inhalation.

The crew's on edge, though.
First lorelei, then this.

- Cobalt generator.

- It was modified to blow
when the circuit was tripped.

- You think it was
the saboteurs?

- The closer we get
to the rubicon,

The more brazen they become.

Why is it
so goddamn hot?

- The cooling system
was damaged.

It's running at 20%.

The ship is only
gonna get hotter!

Did you check
with requisitions,

Make sure they have
all their generators?

15 present and accounted for,
12 others in use throughout the
ship.

We should round them up,
find out what's missing.

Yeah despite what you may
think, i'm actually good at my
job.

- Shut it down, you two.

We've gotta move quick,
get our story out there,

Or we're gonna have a lot
of people asking questions.

- What is our story?

- (denninger on video):
Attention, please.

The cooling system
is undergoing repairs

Because of a
methane-gas explosion.

We are extremely fortunate
that one was injured.

Rest assured,
hazardous-material protocols

Will be strictly reviewed

And enforced from
this point forward.

- Anyone who hasn't
been evaluated

Please line up
against the wall.

(both talking, indistinct)

- Sure it's my turn?

There might be some
officers with headaches

That need tending to.

- It's first come,
first served.

Not everything is about
where you're from.

- Seems that way.
Right, crouch?

- I'll see you later.

(inhales sharply)

- Why did you get in
a fight with bobby rawles?

- You're something else,
nora. You know that?

Deep breaths.

- Nora!

I have 3 patients
that need vitals taken.

- Wait, what about my heart?

- You're clear to go.

- Does it live up
to your expectations?

- Reading about it
is one thing,

Seeing it is something
else entirely.

It's hard to imagine a world

Without civil rights,
a sexual revolution.

- Vietnam, 9/11, those earings
that look like hockey pucks.

Or people like me?

- Homosexuals?

They were left
out by design.

It's not a matter of
prejudice. Purely practical.

Anyone who intentionally avoids
procreation would just be...

Superfluous.

- Superfluous or not, i'm
guessing there's a few in there.

We tend to pop up where
you least expect us.

So, what caused
the explosion?

- Methane buildup
in the leach pits.

- That seems quite volatile,
600 people in a pressure cooker.

- It's the first incident
we've had in 20 years.

- Aside from the
murder, you mean?

- Project apollo cost over
100 billion in adjusted dollars.

The panama canal
took 27,000 lives.

On a project of this scale,
setbacks are to be expected.

- I'll need an office,

Av setup, access
to surveillance,

Crew files,

And, of course, the suspect.

(beeping)

(sighing)

- The council's
been complaining

About the captain's
handling of the heat.

- The mess hall will be
cleaning out frozen stores.

Make sure the council
gets first choice,

And deliver it personally.

- Viondra!

You missed our lunch
appointment today.

- That'll be all
for now, jackie.

She wasn't to your liking?

- Oh, i've grown accustomed
to a much finer vintage.

- Maybe too accustomed.

I've been thinking that
it's time that we take a break

From our weekly meetings.

- Oh no! That would
truly sadden me.

I mean, i know the political
winds have shifted,

And your husband has regained
some measure of popularity

After bringing justice
to lorelei's murderer.

And, as they say,

To the victor
goes the spoils.

- I'm not a
prize to be won.

- I know, viondra,

But the captain's
statement today

About the explosion being
a methane-gas buildup,

Well, that's just gonna
buy him a little more time.

- Councilman, i don't know who
is spreading these rumours,

But it was nothing more than
an unfortunate accident.

- Really? An accident?

Since when do accidents
leave messages on walls, hmm?

So, i suspect it won't be very
long until we're lunching again.

- He suffered a complete
psychotic break,

Put an orderly in traction on
his first day of consciousness.

- Will he
understand me?

- He should be able to.

We're weaning him off
his meds so he can eat.

- Mr. Stokes?

Mr. Stokes, do you
know where you are?

(muttering indistinctly)

- I'm in hell!

(stokes roaring)

I'm in hell!

I'm in hell!

(gasping)

Goddammit! I'm gonna
kill every one of you!

I'm gonna kill you!

(stokes screaming)

(♪ woman singing bossa nova
in portuguese ♪)

- Looks inviting, doesn't it?

- Right now, there's almost
nothing i'd like more.

- The heat suits you.

- Aaron, i'm sorry.

I'm with duke now.
I'm trying to make things work.

- Are you happy?

- I am. Yes.

- You're a bad liar.

- The heat is getting
to people, william.

Fights are breaking out,
public drunkenness.

Two of my girls had to
fend off unwanted advances.

- Right now, i have
bigger concerns.

- There are no bigger concerns
than your constituency.

Rose knows it was a bomb.

He's gotten to someone
in your inner circle.

- Who do you think it is?

- Could be an officer.

Gault pushed back
during the investigation.

- He's stubborn,
i'll give you that,

But he's no traitor.

- Loyalties shift.

He's a heartbeat from
the captain's chair.

- Better him than
anyone else.

- We need a distraction
for the crew.

- What do you suggest?

- It's the first day
of ostara tomorrow.

I say we open the stores,
bring out the good booze.

We have 2 weeks until
the birth-list selection.

Why don't we push
the boundaries a bit,

Give them a night
where we look away?

- And rose?
Can you uncover his spy?

- He's made it quite clear
what he wants.

- I'll leave the
negotiations to you.

- Krueger! Got the footage
you asked for.

- Does this include
the radiation storm?

- No, this is the
methane explosion.

The radiation storm is in
the drive i already gave you.

Go to the drop-down
folder in the--

- It's not all there.

Feeds from at least 5 of
the cameras are missing.

- Really?
I'll look into it.

Better get back, so here you go.
- One second.

Aaron gault.

- Mmm-hmm?

- He found the gun, right?

- Yeah, the xo.
He's a real climber.

Totally got a thing
going on with a married woman.

Best reality tv show never made!

- Don't they have any privacy?

- Uh, pretty much... No.

- So, how do you manage
to miss a murder?

- Well, there are blind spots.
The killer got lucky.

- Or he knew
where they were.

- I got repair crews
using cobalt generators

On decks 15, 21, the commons.

- Have any been
reported missing?

- They're checked in
when they're serviced.

Dwight handles it.

- Dwight?

- Xo! What can
i do for you?

- I need to see the requisition
log for your cobalt generators.

- Yes, sir.

They're all accounted for.

- This hasn't been
updated in weeks.

(♪ hip hop on stereo ♪)

- You know,
i enjoy your company,

Though i can't say much
about your choice of venues.

- The tacos are to die for.

- I'll take your
word for it.

- Your loss.

There's been a development,
an explosion on the ship.

Enzmann's lying
through his teeth.

He says it was
an accident.

But i can tell
from the limited access

That i've had to
the footage,

It was a
directional blast.

- A bomb.
- I think so.

They're doing everything
they can to keep me in the dark.

He's feeding me the
same b.S. That you did

About this being
a sociological experiment.

- You don't buy it?

- Billions of dollars

To prove that 600 people in
a tin can won't get along?

I could've told
you that for free.

What's its real purpose?

- Do you know the history
of complex polymers?

Norplant, mris? Any idea
where they originated?

- You're saying that they
all came from ascension?

- Put your brightest in
a tin can for 50 years

With no outside
interference,

And they'll
change the world.

- I'm not just there to
investigate a murder, am i?

- This is the first
opportunity we've had

Since his father's stroke

To get someone
on the inside.

He's hiding something,

And the tc group wants
to know what that is.

- Hiding something? What?

- Something to do
with the crew.

He's less hands off
than he implies.

- Experiments?

- I look forward
to your report.

And if you figure out who
killed the girl, let me know.

I'm curious.

- (christa):
It's pretty.

Lorelei!

- Christa, are you ok?

- I was dreaming
about lorelei.

- Oh! You miss her.

We all do.

- She's with the angels now.

- Is that what you're
drawing? Angels?

- No, that's icarus and
his father daedalus.

He built the labyrinth

To hold a monster inside.

- What's wrong, christa?

- I'm scared.

Something bad's coming.

- We searched the ship
from bow to stern.

There's no sign
of dwight crouch.

- Why would he do it?

- He's a lower-decker.

- Well, that's not all.

He's an unclaimed.

- How, with the implants?

- Well, sometimes the implants
are damaged or removed.

- No family or status,
no right of reproduction,

Already an outcast.

God only knows what's
going on in that kid's mind.

- What about the
other generators?

- There's still one
unaccounted for.

He's making another bomb.

(♪ '60s pop ♪)

- Things might get out
of hand later tonight.

Should i have the safety
officers standing by?

- No. Tonight,
anything goes.

(camera whirring)

(beeping)

- You've gotta be kidding me!

- You have anger issues.

- No, i have
frustration issues.

I know when i'm
getting the runaround.

I haven't received the
footage i've asked for,

Half the floors
are off-limits,

And i can only
speak to someone

Who has the same
colour badge as me.

- It wasn't a
methane buildup.

- Yeah, i know.

- It was a bomb.

- If it had been a
methane explosion,

It would've been uniform
and omnidirectional.

You lied to me, but that's
what you do, right?

This whole project is one
big lie told to 600 people.

- I wanna show
you something.

(♪ '60s pop ♪)

- Lorelei thought it was
all a mistake, didn't she?

- What?

- All of it.

The ship, the mission.

Is that what "no future" means?

- Where did you hear that?

- After the explosion,
i saw it written on the wall.

- It's something we say
on the lower decks.

Whenever someone asks you
why you're drinking or fighting

Or doing anything
against the rules,

You say "no future,"

As in: "why bother?
Nothing matters anyway."

- Do you believe that?

- I never said i didn't wanna
believe in a future.

I just don't know if i can.

- When my father
started ascension,

He'd bring me to work,

And i'd sit on his knee
and watch their faces.

Are you familiar
with her yet?

- Juliet bryce,
the ship's doctor.

- I grew up
watching her.

I sometimes feel like i know her
better than my own wife.

Same for the others.

This isn't some
petrie dish

Being examined
under a microscope.

This is family.

- There's a man in
the basement of this building

Who lost his mind

When he found
out the truth.

- I'm attempting to protect
the others from the same fate.

These people are heroes.

- The fact that these people
have no say doesn't bother you?

- Does it bother a
tribe in the amazon

They've been denied sub-prime
loans or reality television?

The crew of ascension is pure!

They went 50 years
without a single homicide.

Name another civilization
that can say that.

Regardless of what you think
of all of this,

Remember that at its heart,
there's also her,

And ask yourself:

Had you been born
on that ship,

Would you wanna know the truth?

- Councilman rose, can i offer
you something cool?

- Well, thank you, viondra!

You look lovely.

But it's gonna
take a lot more

Than this distraction
to appease the crew

Once they find out what your
husband's been hiding from them.

- Careful, councilman!
We're all on the same side.

What would you gain
by causing panic?

- Perhaps a change of
direction, new leadership,

Someone with vision.

- Someone like yourself.

- That would be in the
hands of the council,

But i do appreciate
your vote of confidence.

- Mrs. Denninger?

- Yes!

- Presley delon.

I applied for an
apprenticeship with you.

- It's a very
competitive program.

- Oh, of course!

It's an honour just
to be considered.

- Still think this is not
enough of a distraction?

- Emily wanted me to drop
this off. They were lorelei's.

- I didn't hear you
come in last night.

- I slept on the beach.
Everybody did.

Is that a new necklace?

Still haven't
found the seahorse?

- I looked everywhere.

You'd think it
wouldn't be possible

To lose something on a ship
surrounded by space,

But apparently
i can manage it.

You like it?
- Nice.

It's just funny to
see you in something else,

Like seeing lorelei's clothes
given to other people.

- Lorelei put a lot of
work into those clothes.

It would be a shame to see them
pulled apart and recycled.

- We had fun that night
she first wore this.

Would it be
wasteful to keep it,

Not to wear,
but to remember?

- I think that'd
be fine, honey.

I saw you with james toback.
Do you like him?

- Why are you interested in
my love life all of a sudden?

- It's not all of
a sudden, nora.

You've just never
had one before.

- He's a friend.

- I just don't
want you falling

For someone you can't
be matched with.

- You want me to end up
like you and dad,
pretending everything's ok,

When you're barely more
than roommates?

- Nora.

- I'm not blind.

- Marriage is complicated.
- Exactly.

If i don't get to
choose who i'm matched with,

Then i better have fun now.

(knocking)

- Come on in!

(door opening)

Gault! What can
i do for you?

- I checked the requisition logs
in the library just to be sure.

The fire on deck 23 was also
caused by a cobalt generator.

- Well, that was
20 years ago.

Crouch would've
been just a kid.

- What if he isn't
working alone?

What if the saboteurs
have been around

Longer than
we've suspected?

What if lorelei made
the same connection?

It might be why she died.
- Well, stokes killed lorelei.

- Stokes tried to shoot me.
- Are you surprised?
He was a killer.

- He didn't even know
how to use the gun.

- He panicked!

- Or he was telling the truth,
and we had the wrong man.

- Aaron, you're
a man of character.

That's why
i made you xo.

That's why i put you in
charge of this investigation,

Because i knew you wouldn't
stop even when i asked you to.

Character doesn't just
mean going your own way.

A man of judgement knows
those occasional times

When loyalty is
more important.

- Yes, sir.

- Focus on the task at hand.

Find crouch.

- Sir?

You said that that my aptitude
scores were good enough

To get any apprenticeship
that i wanted.

- This isn't a
good time, toback!

- I wanna join ots.

- The officers' training school
frowns on fighting and drinking.

With your behavioural record...

- Look, a recommendation
from the xo can go a long way,

Particularly, if the
candidate showed initiative.

It's the video card lorelei
took the night of the fire,

The one you've
been looking for.

- I'll take your request
into consideration.

- You're looking for
dwight, aren't you?

I have a good idea
where you can find him.

You should check
on deck 23.

(knocking)

- What is it?

- We've got a deck 23 situation.

- Reroute the turbines
to the air recyclers.

We need a vacuum seal now!
- Yes, sir!

Where's my feed?
I need eyes in there!

- Rerouting to the handheld.

Speed up the cooling system.
I need a 40° temperature drop!

- Is it the bomber?
- It's gault.

- (krueger): Does he really
need to wear that?

- He'd be dead if he didn't.

I sucked all the air
out of there.

- Button it down, people.

No unnecessary conversation
or movement.

- Deck 23 was
damaged years ago.

The other side
isn't airtight anymore.

Theoretically,

A noise loud enough can
be heard on the inside.

(grunting)

(♪ band playing jazz ♪)

(♪ man singing in distance ♪)

- (krueger):
What's he doing?

- Gault's parents were killed
in the explosion on launch day.

He never got over it.

Look at that.

(loud bang)

- Huh?
- Huh?

(banging)

are you doing?

- Dwight, calm down!

All right?
Just turn it off!

- You killed my father!

- Stokes was your father?

- You killed him.
- It was an accident!

I almost went out
of the airlock too!

- "never trust an upper-decker."
that's what he used to say.

He said, on earth,
there was no lower deck.

Everyone was born the same.
- That's not true.

- My father didn't lie!

(humming)

- (enzmann):
That bomb goes off,

It'll send a wave
of shrapnel into us!

Evacuate to the
secure room immediately.

- What do you mean,
evacuate? Gault?

You're gonna let him die?

- The choice is between
saving a man

And the entire project.

That's no choice at all.

You're welcome to stay
in the blast zone,

But when this door closes,
your blue badge will be useless.

- Dwight, please! Turn it off!
You'll kill everyone!

- He told me about you!

You cheated,
and you took his job,

And that's why
he couldn't claim me!

(both grunting)

- Dwight, your
oxygen's detached!

Let me help you!

(panting)

(grunting)

- Make sure ms. Krueger
gets the raw footage.

I'd hate for her report
to be incomplete.

- So that's it.

A man suffocates

In a room that you sucked
all of the air out of,

And it's case closed.

- My father taught me dispassion
was the best course.

The ship would right
itself, he would say.

I'd doubt him every time,

But every time,
he'd prove correct.

The purpose of the experiment
isn't to protect them,

It's to learn from them.

Now, if you'll excuse me.

I'd like to get
home for dinner,

Even if it is 5 hours late.

- I hope you're right.

- About what?

- The ship righting itself.

'cause this project will
make one hell of a mess

If it crashes.

(sighing)

(sighing)

(horse neighing)

- You're awake.

- I couldn't sleep.

- Mitchum or bogart?

- John wayne.

He was a man of character.

We are doing
the right thing, aren't we,

Pushing on no matter what?

- Of course we are.

We're heroes.

(sighing)

(computer beeping)

- The '63/70.

(cell phone dialling)

- (eve): Hello?

- I wanna meet.

- (christa):
I like your necklace.

- (juliet):
It's a seahorse.

- Oh, you're still up?

I'm sorry i'm so late.

- I've been waiting
up for you.

(gasping)

- Happy anniversary.

(sighing)

- I thought
you'd forgotten.

(gasping)

(sighing)

It's been a long time since
you've kissed me like that.

- Leave the necklace on.

- (viondra):
Single file, ladies.

No shoes, no jewellery.
Remove any excess clothing.

- If i don't make the cut,
i swear i'll space myself.

- 120, the acceptable
weight for a girl at 5'5".

However, you are
not that girl.

Next!

- Like viondra hasn't seen
that trick a million times.

Are you even listening?

He only joined ots
to impress you.

- That's not true.

James wants to do
more with his life

Than work in
water reclamation.

- 'cause of you.
It's a west side story.

He wants to cross the tracks
to be with his maria.

- (viondra): Next!

Presley delon, 19.

(sighing)

- Congratulations.
You're in.

- Captain! Your wife
is expecting me.

The weigh-ins are today.

- Maybe i should stop by and
check out the new recruits.

- Why? You have the best ass on
the ship right in front of you.

God knows how many other girls
are vying for your attention.

- Ah, don't tell me
you're jealous.

- I can't help but feel
a little ownership.

I'm risking a lot.

- The only risk you're taking
is claiming ownership.

You're an oasis.
Don't spoil it.

- Wait!

- Hmm?

- I'm not done with you yet.

- You cremated lorelei wright's
remains before an autopsy?

- Standard procedure.

We have no morgue, and besides,
the murder had been resolved.

- What about the gun?

- Stored with all the other
detritus ejected from the ship.

Pure-grain alcohol!

The drink of choice
on the lower decks.

It's stronger
than paint thinner.

- Reminds of high school.

I'm gonna need the original
manifest to cross-reference

With the gun and the
sporting-goods stores.

- It's a waste of time.

Every person, package and
piece of equipment was searched

Prior to boarding,

And nothing from
outside is allowed in.

- That's right. It's a billion-
dollar sociological experiment.

- There have been
ancillary benefits,

And they underwrite
the program,

But ascension has
always been about more.

The originals were
determined to save mankind.

- The '63/70? Is that
what they called them?

The original crew?

- I see you've been scouring
conspiracy-theory websites.

The idea that 70 scientists
mysteriously disappeared in 1963

Suggests they
didn't volunteer.

- Under false pretences.

- Everyone operates
under false pretences.

Only for them, if they wonder
if there's some grand design,

Some purpose
to their lives,

An overseer guiding
their destinies,

They're right.

And right now, he's wasting
his time talking to you.

(stenotab beeping)

- It's gonna be fine.

- Nora, i need your help
calibrating this thing!

I--i can't ask
your mom again.

- It takes a
while to learn.

Don't be afraid
to ask questions.

- Thanks. My dad would kill me
if i lost this apprenticeship.

Nobody in my family's
ever worked

In the upper decks before.

- Don't worry, ike.
You'll be fine.

- Are you ready?

One brave girl
ready for her shot.

(beeping)

- Relax, christa,
this won't hurt a bit.

- No, please. I don't want it!
I won't do it!

- Christa,
calm down, calm down!

Look, i'll go first.

- Ophelia, no!

- I've been taking them
all my life. Look!

See? I didn't
feel a thing.

- No, please!
I don't want it!

It's poison! Poison!

- Christa, just look at me
and focus on my voice.

There is nothing
to be scared of.

- (woman): Ophelia?

(ophelia groaning)

- Nora, help me
turn her over!

- It's ok!

- Shit! What are
we gonna do?

- What the hell are
you doing to these people?

- (juliet): It's ok.
Turn her over! Let's go!

- Saving their lives.

Artificial circadian
light cycles,

Recycled air,
repetitive diets,

They wear on
the immune system.

The shots are merely
inoculations.

- Then what happened to ophelia?

- An allergic reaction from
the shot meant for christa.

They're customized to
each crew member's needs.

Carrillo!

- Yeah.

- Then how did she know that
someone was gonna get poisoned?

Dr. Enzmann,
how did she know?

- (christa):
It's my fault ophelia's sick.

She came with me
because i was scared.

- Why? You've had shots before.

- I saw a man in white gloves
put something in the shots.

- (gault):
When did this happen?

- In a dream.

- Dreams aren't
real, christa.

- Mine are!

I dreamt there was something
wrong with the shots,

And there was.

- Tell me about
the man you saw.

- His face was blurry,
but i knew he was death.

I've seen him before.

- Where?

- In the tunnels
with lorelei.

- Another dream?

- That one came true too.

- Was it stokes?

- No, but the man in the white
gloves is still on the ship.

- (all): We are the
shepherds of the flock,

Guardians of the birth list.

We vow to give ourselves,
body and soul, to our calling.

We are wife, mother
and caregiver to all.

- Enough formality.

Now for the fun!

(women giggling)

(♪ '60s pop ♪)

- (stewardess):
Congratulations!

- From the candy
store, ladies.

Take anything you want.

- It's so much fun!

- You're late, jackie.

- I'm sorry,
mrs. Denninger.

I had a last-minute
appointment.

- It's just one of
the best things.

It feels
really good.

- Congratulations!

- No! Please!
I don't want it!

It's poison!

- You see that?

Her pupillary reaction.
Amazing!

- Christa's 16 hours overdue.

Blood pressure, pulse,
respiratory all elevated.

- How long
do we have?

- Last test subject with similar
genetic markers to christa's

Was mitchell bowman
back in '83.

- The doctor gave him a shot
with the wrong compound.

- Here.

That's him
after 52 hours.

Metabolic system
out of control,

Immune system
attacking itself.

And... 72 hours.

- We can't let the same
thing happen to christa.

(grunting)

Track the video.

I want a complete record.

And find a way to give
the girl her shot.

- It's poison! Poison!

(car honking)

- Dr. Fritz lieber,
lost at sea,

February '63.

Renowned physicist
alfred bester,

Caught in a lab
explosion, may of '63.

5 nuclear engineers died in
a plane crash a week later.

The list goes on and on.

70 in all.

- Who's to say they didn't
choose to disappear?

Maybe they owed back taxes
or ran off with a mistress?

- Yeah, you're right.
They could've.

But the kids didn't
have a choice.

They used kennedy's advanced
education initiative as cover

To abduct children
from their parents.

- Yeah, you know what?

Stick with the lizard people.
It's more believable.

- Why did you call if you
don't wanna talk to me?

- Obviously,
it was a mistake.

- Why would a nobel prize winner
travel around the country,

Secretly enrolling 6-year-olds
into an education program?

I spoke with one
of the parents.

She's been looking for
her daughter for 50 years

Because of this man,
abraham enzmann.

He's the key.

You know who he is, don't you?

- Excuse me, honey.

What the hell is this?

Three sessions with
the resource committee,

6 hours with the council?

You used to be better at
helping me avoid this nonsense.

- And you used to
be more discreet.

(sniffing)

Guerlain mitsouko.
A lovely scent.

It's jackie's.

- She's a distraction,
that's all.

- The liquor, cigars, caviar,
those are distractions.

Sex is so much more.

It's the true
currency on this ship.

The information
my girls gather

Keeps you in
the captain's chair.

- And yet you're
unable to find out

Which one of my officers
is spying for rose.

- I can endure anything
but secrets between us.

Don't undermine me
with my girls, will.

- I went over the tapes,

And on the day
of the incident,

Christa didn't speak to anyone
other than ophelia.

I did notice, however,

She always had a glass
of milk with her dinner.

(dispenser beeping)

Only this time,

It'll have a little
something extra.

(monitor beeping)

- There's no way she can know
there's a camera there.

- Sometimes a more direct
approach is required.

We're gonna need to use
our man on the inside.

- How are we today,
councilman gombrovich?

- The councilman
had to reschedule.

Mind if i take her place?

- Of course not,
mrs. Denninger.

(sighing)

- Mmm!

Mmm! You have a gift!

I can see why
you're in high demand.

When you first came
to the stewardesses,

You were an awkward girl
with bad skin and lisp.

(chuckling)

But i saw the
ambition in your eyes.

You reminded me of myself.

- I'm flattered.

- I knew you
would go far,

Perhaps, one day, even
seceding me as head stewardess.

I was mistaken.

I understand your interest
in my husband, jackie.

Power is an aphrodisiac.

- Mrs. Denninger...

- I don't begrudge
william his indulgences.

What i cannot abide
is disloyalty.

- Viondra, i don't know
what you've heard--

- I'm relieving you
of your duties.

You'll be assigned
housing on the lower decks.

Remove your belongings from the
dorm before they're discarded.

Where are you going?

Finish the massage first.

- It's a needle
in a haystack.

Hundreds of
inoculations to test,

And i have no idea
what we're looking for.

- Do you think
christa's right?

Is there any way the shots
could've been tampered with?

- I don't see how. The only
access is in the medical centre.

(sighing)

- What about
your apprentice?

- Ike?

He's a little green,
but he's a good kid.

- Have you always used blue
gloves in the medical centre?

- Yes!

Christa has
had difficulty

Differentiating
dreams from reality.

Take what she says
with a grain of salt.

(ekg monitor beeping)

You can go in
if you like.

It might do
her some good.

(mumbling indistinctly)

- It's ok.

- Repetto. Repetto.

- Repetto.
I hear you.

- Repetto! Repetto!

- Juliet? Juliet!

Ike, we need to intubate!

Help me hold her down.

Ike!

- You wanted to see me?

The original manifest.

Why the change of heart?

- When i was a boy, i didn't
trade baseball cards.

I studied the names
on the list.

I knew their
biographies

The way other kids
knew batting averages.

Some gave up fame,
others riches.

Some even gave up
their families.

When you look into the
names on that list,

Remember what
they sacrificed.

- That's very moving.

You're sure you're not giving
me this to keep me busy?

With my nose
in a file,

I'm less likely to see
what's right in front of me.

- We're not gonna
be friends.

I know that.

But it's possible we
have a common enemy.

Whoever brought a
gun on ascension

Put everyone else at risk.

I wanna know
who it was.

(monitor beeping)

- (woman on video): We have to
sit down and talk things over.

That's the only way we're going
to understand each other.

That's the only way
we're going to get along.

- (man): I'm sorry, mary.
I shouldn't have lost my temper.

You know how it is. Sometimes
we say things we don't mean.

- (girl): It's all my fault,
dad, about the dress.

I guess i should've spoken
to you and mom first.

- (man): Yesterday,
we were all a little hasty.

- (boy):
It's my fault!

- (woman):
It's nobody's fault.

Things happen,
then they get out of hand.

You've forgotten,
but i haven't.

When you were a little boy,

You sometimes did things
that i didn't approve of.

Seems to be more
problems today than...

(screaming)

- Stay with her.

(panting)

Kill the lights.

Seal the doors.

- Open!

(gasping)

(man groaning,
christa screaming)

Leave me alone!

(both screaming)

(groaning)

- Did you see that?

- Yes.

- The lights!

- She's fascinating.

Just as my father predicted.

- Christa?

What's wrong?

Christa, you're bleeding!

- It's not my blood.

It's his!

- We're comparing the blood
on christa's dress

To the samples in
the database.

It's gonna
take a while.

- I can't believe that someone
on this ship attacked a child.

- I want christa to stay in
the medical centre for now.

No one gets near her
until we find this guy.

- Christa's white blood-cell
count is dangerously high.

She needs an inoculation,
but she refuses to take it.

- Maybe i can talk to her.
She trusts me.

- I appreciate your
help on this, robert.

You and juliet are our best hope
to catch him. Thank you.

- Captain, i looked over
the medical records.

Ophelia was never logged
in for the inoculations.

That shot was always
meant for christa.

Do you think this is one
of the missing children?

- Her name's ophelia.

She's the right age,
the right description.

- Where did you get this?
Is this government?

- There's not a lot
i can tell you.

- I need to know
about these children,

What's so special
about them.

- That's what i've been
trying to figure out.

They just seem
like normal kids.

I know more about
the scientists.

- Enzmann's rocket jockeys.

- They're more than just
astrophysicists and engineers.

There were biologists,
philosophers, fertility doctors,

Even geneticists.

- Genetics?

- Dna had just been
discovered a decade before.

I've met their parents.

They think that
they're all dead.

If they're alive,
they need to know!

- It's a waste of time.
I don't know if it's them.

- I can get tissue samples
from the relatives.

If you get one from the
children, we can test the dna.

- It's impossible.
I can't get to them.

- Even remains?

Anything will do,
a hair, bones, even teeth.

- Fine wines,
makeup, perfume.

You name it,
they have it.

- Don't tell james.
He'd have a fit.

- The position comes
with privileges.

Would he say no if he
were offered a better cabin?

- He might.
He's pretty stubborn.

- He's crazy.

I'd rather live in
the stewardesses dorm

Than the lower
40s any day.

Hey!

Luminous pink.

Viondra gave it to me.

This is your chance
to have fun.

Once the computer
matches you,

It's forever.

You look so monroe.

Rawles!

Are you coming to the officer's
lounge tonight?

- Well, that depends.
Will you two be there?

- It's presley's
stewardess debut.

- Oh, well, then i'm in.

Nice colour.

I'll see ya.

I'm totally gonna need
that lipstick back.

(chuckling)

(rose talking, indistinct)

- Councilman rose!

- Yes?
- Can i speak to you?

- Well, of course!
Excuse me.

- The council rejected
a transfer request i submitted.

- Oh, for jackie. Yes!

I thought that might be
something of a sticking point.

- Well, it doesn't
have to be.

- You're not the only one with
friends on the council, viondra.

Jackie's friends would prefer
that she stay where she is.

- I can't have someone living
in the stewardess dorm

Who isn't a stewardess.

- Mm-hmm.
Then hire her back.

- Viondra, you're
looking rather tense.

Perhaps we should
schedule another massage?

(chuckling)

- Christa, shouldn't you
be getting to bed soon?

- I don't wanna sleep.

- I used to have bad dreams
when i was your age too.

But then ophelia
told me a secret

And the nightmares
went away.

- What was it?

- To hold onto a single
thought as i fell asleep.

Then, no matter how
scary things became,

I could focus on it and
everything would be better.

- What did you think about?

- My mother's laugh. She could
light up a room with it.

Can you think
of something?

- Seahorses.

- Good! Seahorses, then.

Dr. Bryce is worried
you might be getting sick.

- You want me to
get my shot, don't you?

- We all have to take them.
It's important.

But how about, when it's time
for you to take your shot,

You think about
those seahorses?

- What are you
doing here?

- Didn't think my flask
would make it past security.

- It wouldn't have.
I've tried.

Sometimes, i wish we had
our own officer's lounge.

- You know, maybe they don't
really have it that bad.

- You're starting to
sound like enzmann.

- Yeah, you know,
enzmann leans on you a lot.

- He likes to give orders,

But he has no idea how hard
it is to get things done.

And believe me, he will
rain down holy hell

If you don't do it
exactly how he wants it.

It's just the way
the world works!

- Enzmann's world!

(chuckling)

To the right-hand man!

- Congratulations, presley!
You were wonderful.

Have you met councilman rose?

- That was terrific!

And you, my dear,
are a vision. Mmm!

It's hard to believe
you only just started.

I'm looking forward to
watching you develop.

- Councilman rose?
- Yes, sweetie.

Enjoy your evening.
You have a lot to celebrate.

- Oh my god! Presley,
you were so good!

- Thank you!

- Something to quench
your thirst?

- Join us!

It's only a drink, unless
you want it to be more.

(rawles talking, indistinct)

(chuckling)

- You know what i mean?

(sighing)

- Hi, christa? Hi!

I just came to
give you your shot.

- Where's juliet?

- Well, she had to go
back to our cabin,

So she asked me to do it.

- Well, i changed my mind.
I don't want it.

- You told my wife you saw
a man in white gloves.

He put something into
the shots. Is that right?

Did you get a
good look at him?

It's ok.
You can tell me.

What did you tell juliet about
the man in the white gloves?

- I can't.

- Come on, tell me.

What did you see?

- I saw it all.

Two towers falling
from the sky,

And a war in the
desert that never ends,

And a woman in pink holding
her husband's head together.

And you, i saw you in
the maintenance tunnels

Where lorelei was killed!

I saw you! I saw you!

- Shhh, shhh, shhh!

It's just a dream.

- The stage 3 additive,

Plus an amnestic additive

Have been successfully
administered.

- So, you roofied a 12-year-old.
Will she remember anything?

- Nah, she told juliet
she had a dream,

Something about
seahorses.

- Go ahead with the
subjects 22, 65 and 110.

- Harris, she knew things
she couldn't possibly know--

9/11, kennedy.

She's what we've been
working towards, isn't she?

- I don't know
what she is,

But she's the best
chance we have.

- She was so young.

I'm sorry, aaron.

- When she first took
me in, i was so angry,

At the world,
at this ship, everything.

It never occurred to me
how much she lost in the fire.

- You were there
for each other.

- I wanted to
call her mom.

(chuckling)

I wanted to tell her
that i loved her,

But i never did.

- She knows.

- I can't lose
anyone else, em.

- Aaron!

You'd be stripped of your rank,
sent back to the lower decks.

I'd lose my job,

Never get approved
for the birth list.

It'd be the end of everything.
- I don't care!

- I do, aaron!

I don't wanna spend the rest
of my life like that.

- Did you see that?

She walked out of frame,
and now she's back!

There she is, leaving.

And there she is
at the piano.

Someone cut
something out.

- (bryce):
Mr. Gault.

We've got a match
on the blood sample.

It's ike messmer,
juliet's apprentice.

(knocking)

- (denninger):
Ike messmer, open the door!

It was him.
Cut him down.

- (enzmann):
Don't tell me.

You're gonna
investigate this one too.

- I watched the video

Of stokes getting blown
out of the airlock.

He tried to shoot gault,

But he didn't know
how to work the safety.

He'd never fired a gun.

This is footage from the
stockyards the day of the storm.

Workers unloaded fresh bags
of grain in the morning,

Yet, somehow,
after the storm,

They found the gun in
one of those bags.

- Your point?

- Mr. Carrillo can't
locate the missing footage.

Let me take a wild guess
what he's hiding.

You have someone
inside ascension,

A right-hand man.

He planted the gun,
he tampered with the shots,

And i'd be willing to bet

That he killed ike
to cover his tracks.

- You have a
wild imagination.

- Is that how the ship
miraculously rights itself?

You play puppetmaster,

You stage radiation storms,
orchestrate crises.

What did you call yourself,

An overseer guiding
their destinies?

- Knowing the tc group like
you do, you should ask yourself:

What's more likely to be taken
out into a field and buried,

A multi-billion-dollar project
that's been going for 50 years,

Or a washed out spook
that no one will mourn?

- We searched
ike messmer's quarters,

Reviewed his stenotab,
talked to his friends.

Nothing indicates that he
was linked to the saboteurs.

- Then why?

- Guilt?

Apparently, he didn't
follow storage protocols

And one of the inoculation
vials got contaminated.

- Doesn't add up, gault.
There's too many questions.

- Look, captain,

He was depressed about
what happened to ophelia.

You weren't born
in the lower decks.

You don't know
what it's like

To lose your
position, to lose status.

- I can't believe this is just
individuals acting all alone.

It's too convenient.

People are imperfect, flawed.

They can rarely do anything that
doesn't end up in a royal mess,

Myself included.

- I've been
looking for you.

- Well, here i am!

- I can't help but
feel it's my fault.

Ike wouldn't have been
working in the medical clinic

If i hadn't quit.

- It's not your fault.

He didn't wanna fall
back down the ladder.

- It was just a job!

- Not to him, not to
someone from the lower decks.

He wanted a new start.

- Is that why you
joined the cadets?

Why didn't you come by
the officer's lounge?

- I did. I saw you
with rawles.

- There's nothing
between us.

- If you wanna date an officer,
nora, you should just do it,

Instead of trying
to make me one.

- I never asked you
to join cadets.

I never asked
you to change.

- You didn't have to.

I gotta get to work.

I'll see you later, ok?

(jackie moaning loudly)

- Shhh, shhh, shhh!

- What's the matter, captain?

Afraid your
wife will hear?

- You could stand to be
a little more careful yourself.

- Don't worry,
i can handle viondra.

(chuckling)

- That's something
i'd like to see.

- Oh, why not?
Councilman rose has.

(sighing)

(♪ jazz ♪)

- You could stand to be
a little less enthusiastic.

- You really think she's been
spying for rose this whole time?

- Did you really believe she
was that enamoured with you?

Go clean yourself up.

(crickets chirping)

- I don't have any evidence.

We don't have any dna.

We have nothing.

- There must be something.

Is there anything at all
that you might have overlooked?

(grunting)

- I will kill you all!

- So, ariadne went to daedalus,
the architect of the labyrinth,

And begged his help.

Taking pity on her,

He told her the secret
to escaping the maze.

That's not true, ophelia.

You're not dying.

You're just lost in
a maze like all of use.

But one day,
i'll lead us out.

I promise.

- Let me out!
