- Hey, guys.
- DANKO: 'Sup, boss?

Hey, Emily. Cig?

I’m good.
Thanks... Voila.

It's-- It’s, uh, Cavalla, boss.

- Voila.
- DANKO: Cavalla.

- Valla?
- Yeah.

Yeah. Better.

Well, how do you say
"get off your lazy asses

and get back to work"?
[ Chuckles ]

[ Speaking Serbian ]
Get off... your...

Lazy asses...

Lazy asses

Yeah.

And get to work.

Right.

Ridiculous

This is bullshit.

[ Speaking English ] All our
boosters run off the satellite.

Bud, you're shit out of luck.

John, how's the road?

Road.

River.

Road under river.

Very bad.

I told you we shouldn’t
drill in Siberia.

[ Groans ]
John, it's Serbia.

JOHN: Yeah, whatever.

Seriously,
what’s the situation?

No, really,
the roads are under the river,

and we’re not getting
out of here

for a while,
and no one’s coming in.

- Fuck.
- What’s your ETA now

- for breaking ground, Emily?
- Well, you tell us, Nikola.

You’re the one who’s got
to sign that permit.

But if we could get started
on a rat or mouse hole,

we’d be grateful.

There's no evidence
of Koslov’s pika here.

I will sign off. Really.

I'll bet you none
of them roughnecks

have ever seen one of those
cute, cuddly things.

- Seeing means nothing, man.
- SOFIJA: It’s true.

There’s a whole world under
the ground we can only imagine.

Imagine that.

And the pika are
notoriously secretive.

Shh.

Thankfully...

new technologies,
like portable DNA sequencing,

make it possible
to identify their habitats

simply from their feces
and hairs in the dirt.

Oh, fun fact.

Did you know that
the pika's soft green feces

- are coveted for folk medicine?
- JOHN: You know what?

If you find one of
my greasy shits out there,

you can covet it
for medicine, too.

EMILY: John.

You choose to drill here,
man, not me.

I didn’t choose to drill here.
She didn’t choose to drill here.

We were told to drill here.

If I’d have chose, I’d have
chose something like...

Florida.

- Alabama?
- Oh, yes. [ Chuckles ]

And if you find nothing
of value, what?

Oh, we’ll find
something down there.

Then, the fracking begins.
Bravo.

Actually, the really
neat thing about pikas

is that they’re
an indicator species.

They let us know how we are
doing environmentally,

which can be really good news...
or bad.

I’ll turn your lights out.

- Okay, boss.
- Hey, crew’s bored to death

You got something good
on the menu tonight, I hope?

Chicken tagine for the win.

- Because it’s good.
- Teddy.

The crew doesn’t want
some fancy chicken thing.

They want
a not fancy chicken thing.

You liked it when I made it
for you back home?

Yeah. I like soft toilet paper.
Doesn’t mean I bring it with me.

Wet wipes. I brought wet wipes.

I got a tender heinie hole.

Awesome. Well, it’s too late.

Okay. The tagine's done.
And they’re going to love it.

It’s got raisins for sweetness,

a ton of ras el hanout
that I brought from home.

Like, super authentic.

Sounds like a recipe
for diarrhea.

You mean a recipe
for a clean digestive tract?

That’s what I said.
A recipe for diarrhea.

Hey, can I bum
some of those wet wipes?

- No.

- Are they sticking around or...?
- Don’t even think about it.

What?
No. I’m just, you know.

You get to give him back

Which is just how I like it.

- Thank you.

Mary Ann’s the same way.
She never wanted kids.

- Whatever. Go on.

We looked at the cells
and the DNA.

And aside from
severe malnutrition,

it’s clear he is or was indeed
your average human.

But the biopsy of his skin...

Fungi, protists.

- Their cells all have...
- A nucleus.

- Bungo.
- God, can you just...

Uh. Sorry.
The foreign entity, the protist.

We have identified it
as a kind of algae, uh,

from a group of dinoflagellates
called zooxanthellae.

They live inside the tissue
of other organisms

in a definite, symbiotic,
mutually beneficial,

scratch-each-other’s-back
relationship,

most commonly
in the giant clam.

Yup, the protist nourishes
the clam in environments

that are less than ideal
for thriving.

And in turn,
the protist is sheltered

within the clam's shell.

And you think that’s how
the man was kept alive

under the ground?

In a nutshell.

But this is beyond anything

mankind has ever witnessed.

Just groundbreaking.

But this isn’t
exactly the ocean. Like...

this shell was made of calcite
