Previously on "The Ark"...

That story you told me about my daughter being killed by a stray bullet...

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

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

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

Well negotiate with the others for you to peacefully join the colony.

When its safe, Ill summon you. EF 2 just left. Why didnt we?

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

What if the pairings are so interconnected

that you cant pull one out of the coma without the other?

Oh, my God. It worked. Were ready to go.

FTL has disengaged successfully.

Coordinates confirmed. We are at the rendezvous point.

The edge of the Trappist system.

- Hows it look, Alicia? - Everything we thought seems to be accurate.

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

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

Its a few hundred kilometers further away than Earth was to our sun,

but its almost identical in mass.

- Okay. Translation? - Its remarkably similar to Earth.

Chances are really good it can sustain human life.

Well, then lets see if anybodys home.

(beeps)

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

- Are we in comms range? - Were within the solar system.

An interplanetary signal should easily reach the planet.

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

Why is nobody responding?

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

Very happy to hear you made it.

Chart a course to our location.

Right ascension 23-06-29.

Declination 05-02-28.

Angular position 240 degrees.

- Got that? - Oh, hell yes.

Well let you know once weve set course.

We just need to make sure everythings in working order

coming out of FTL.

Of course. Take all the time you need.

Were so fortunate to have you joining us.

Ive gotta be honest, never actually thought this day would come.

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

Isnt the EF 2 supposed to be here?

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

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

Lets hope so. Their government is likely to be more receptive in person.

Ill go down there and talk to them.

Well, if theres anybody who can talk them into it, it is Captain Sharon Garnet.

Well see.

Hopefully well be able to go back to Avega with good news.

So youre a post-human, too?

You heard?

Why didnt you tell me yourself?

It wasnt relevant to your treatments.

Not relevant? This whole time,

I thought no one understood me.

- Why didnt you say anything? - I dont know.

I guess I just didnt want to remember the experience.

Kelly, you are a shining example

of everything a post-human can be.

I was nothing more than a failed experiment.

Isnt that what Mother called me?

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

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

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

why would you put me through the same thing?

Because your implants are the new and improved version.

I knew theyd work, and I knew theyd be a gift.

- A real gift. - Yes.

- Im a freak. - No.

You are so much better

than any un-enhanced human could ever be.

You can do so much for us all.

What are you doing here?

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

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

He says his sciaticas flaring up.

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

Maybe we should get him down here.

He usually does the calibration,

and the reactor is a little unpredictable.

Dont worry. I can handle it.

(beeping)

That shouldnt be happening.

- (alarm beeping) - We gotta get out of here.

I can fix it. I just need a second.

- (hissing) - Move it!

Explosive discharge in sub-engineering.

Its a coolant leak from the reactor.

Can you access it remotely? Shut down the leak?

Just did. Activating anti-radiation scrubbers now.

Okay, this should stop the radiation from spreading to the rest of Ark 1.

But what about whoever was in that sector?

(music playing)

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

I dont really know. There mustve been something wrong with the reactor.

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

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

Kabir: Looks like its thanks to her

that Alicias burns from the steam are fairly minor.

Well, Im glad youre gonna to be okay.

Lets get Maija healthy, too.

Im gonna head to sub-engineering

to see if Evas figured anything out.

Sure thing.

- Hey. Oh, man. - Mm.

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

Your hugs are the best medicine.

Alicias burns from the steam are fairly minor.

Okay, thats good news, right?

Maija was only there because I wouldnt leave.

Is she gonna be okay?

To be honest, I dont know yet.

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

Of course, just as my sciatica flares up

you need me for a radiation leak.

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

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

There was a reactor explosion.

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

Well, Alicia could adjust this in her sleep. Shed never get it wrong.

I need to see the reactor logs.

Theres gotta be something more than this.

Good. Eva will help you.

- Keep me updated on any developments. - Yeah.

Hey, Sharon, wait up.

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

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

that if you ever need to talk about anything, Im here for you.

Thank you, but thats not necessary.

- We barely know each other here. - Really?

Because after all weve been through,

I feel like I know you better than Ive ever known anyone.

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

Hmm.

Well, it sure looked like you.

(sniffs)

Smelled like you, too.

I dont know about you,

but I cant just turn off my emotions

like theyre some kind of switch.

Neither can I.

But its hard to get past the fact

that it was still just a dream.

Im sorry.

(music playing)

(beeping)

Voice: Go to sub-engineering 5,

find wall panel 23, and swap the capacitor

labeled D23 with the A26 capacitor.

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

No, Mr. Strickland, Im talking to you.

Whos this?

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

Thats not possible. This is some kind of con.

Voice: Its not. I have Katheryn.

Then let me speak to her.

Katheryn: Daddy?

Katheryn? Is it really you? Where are you?

Voice: Careful, Mr. Strickland.

I need to make sure if its really her.

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

The one we used to read every night before bed?

Katheryn: Pinocchio.

Katheryn, are you okay?

Katheryn: Im scared. Are you coming to get me?

- Yes. - Voice: Were out of time.

Captain Garnet is about to knock on your door.

If you say anything about this conversation,

your daughter loses a finger.

(knocking on door)

Hey. They finally repaired your baton.

I told Kimi Id bring it down.

I wanted to talk to you about prepping some security protocols for Trappist.

Are you okay? Did I interrupt?

Sorry, Im just, uh, preoccupied with designing the new protocols.

Ill have some actionable ones soon.

Great. I wanna go over them first thing tomorrow.

- Of course. - Ill leave you to it.

Felix.

- Get some sleep. - (sighs)

Youre looking like youre working too hard.

(beeps)

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

I brought her. I told her about Maija.

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

I wanna use my nanites to help Maija just like Dr. Kabir did with Angus.

Its a nice idea, but its not possible.

What do you mean? Weve done it before.

The nanites arent built to deal with radiation poisoning.

- It would just destroy them. - Well, wouldnt they at least

speed up the healing before theyre destroyed?

It doesnt work that way. Im sorry.

I know youre just trying to help,

and I appreciate it, but thats just not the way.

Kabir: Felix? Where are you?

I thought we were having a defense training session.

Sorry. Mustve dozed off.

You never just doze off. You okay?

Yeah, Garnet has me working overtime

for these protocols for Trappist.

But Ill make it up to you later this week. Im sorry.

You better. Okay.

You can do this. You got this.

You know how to do this.

Voice: You were so close, Mr. Strickland.

How did you know I didnt do it?

We know everything that happens on that ship.

Disobey us again and you will regret it.

Katheryn: Ow. Please dont hurt me.

Voice: Do it. Now.

What exactly will changing these two capacitors do?

Now, or she loses an adorable little finger.

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

- Can I help with something? - No, theres no need for that.

Security got a call about a potential loose wire,

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

I didnt hear anything about a loose wire.

Why would they send for security for that?

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

Ill just get out of your hair.

(electricity crackling)

- (beeps) - The DOTE just overloaded.

Blew out its regulators.

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

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

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

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

Do you think theyre connected?

I dont know. But Ill find out.

(beeps)

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

- Of course. - Im gonna head to engineering.

Here to bring me some more bad news?

Thats kind of your thing now, isnt it?

Not a great thing for a doctor.

Actually, I wanted to talk.

Here we go.

I apologize for not letting you know about my implants.

You should have told me.

Wouldve be nice to think Im not the only freak around here.

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

So you say.

One second youre telling me that my implants are amazing,

and then the next that they cant help when I need them to.

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

Healing Angus, protecting Alicia from Milos clones?

So why couldnt you have used my blood to heal Maija, too?

Because I didnt think it would help her.

You didnt think? So it might have?

Kelly, Im just trying to do whats best for you.

Whats best for me is to let me use this tech

you put inside my body to do some good,

at least make up for some of the bad Ive done.

You already have.

And youll have the opportunity again.

Im merely trying to teach you your own limits so that one day

if Im not around, you can protect yourself.

- Protect myself from what? - People, Kelly.

People will try and take advantage of you.

I know because theyve done it to me, too.

Theyll try and use you for their own needs,

and they wont care if it hurts you.

Kind of like Mother did?

Yeah.

Exactly like your mother did.

Shes gonna be on that planet were going to, isnt she?

Probably.

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

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

- I meant it then. - And now?

I dont know. I really dont know.

(beeping)

You know, I think that people use the term genius

- a little too freely. - Whats that supposed to mean?

You completely butchered the code to regulate the uranium ratio.

Thats what triggered the radiation blowout.

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

Its rudimentary and clumsy. Its a glaringly obvious mistake.

Obvious or intentional?

Hey, I need to talk to you.

- I cant talk about this anymore, Ian. - No, no, no, no.

Its not that. Its about the DOTE.

Or at least it might be. Im not sure yet.

Look, I dont mean to be outta line,

but have you noticed that Stricklands

- been acting a little strange? - Strange how?

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

but I saw him by the power distribution junction

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

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

- I dont mean to be out of line, but... - Too late.

Look, I trust Strickland with my life.

- Im sure he had good reason to be there. - Of course, but...

Right now we need to focus on fixing the DOTE

and getting to the bottom of that explosion,

not going off on some wild goose chase.

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

that everything is running smoothly in engineering.

All right.

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

went over the codebase for the reactor,

we realized that somebody intentionally changed the coding.

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

to kill anyone near the malfunction without disabling Ark 1.

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

Theres no other explanation for what happened.

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

Eva: Mr. Trust is in sub-engineering

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

but the logs have been wiped.

Felix, I want to go through

the background check you did on Maija.

Shes a 15er.

Maybe theres something we missed about her past.

- (beeps) - (sighs)

Felix. You all right, mate?

- Strickland? - Im sorry.

I was just thinking,

I saw Ian lurking around

some of the restricted areas of the ship

shortly before the explosion and before the DOTE blew.

If you have a hunch, follow it.

Wouldnt be the first time we were wrong about someone.

(beeps)

(pinging)

Voice: Log in to the personnel failsafe.

That could endanger lives. If the reading is inaccurate,

it could indicate that someone is safely inside the airlock after an EVA

when theyre not and vice-versa.

Do it.

(pinging)

We need something else from you Mr. Strickland.

How long is this going to go on?

It will be over soon.

What do you want me to do?

You need to volunteer for a spacewalk.

So the explosion was intentional?

Unfortunately, it looks that way.

But were doing everything we can to figure out who had access to the code,

what their motive could be, and whether you or Maija were the target. Or both.

So, what happened to Maija, it wasnt my fault?

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

Why do you think somebody would want to hurt me?

I dont know, but Im gonna get to the bottom of it.

In the meantime, I think its best you stay here until we know whos behind the attack.

- (knocking on door) - Right, I almost forgot.

I asked someone to come keep you company.

- Angus! - Captain Garnet ordered me to stay in here with you.

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

but you know how forceful she can be.

Ill keep you informed.

- Are you okay? Yeah. - Yeah.

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

so we can make the journey to Trappist.

As usual, Im the only person onboard

equipped to make a repair like that.

So well need to prep you for a spacewalk.

Kabir: Are you sure youre feeling up to it?

I hear youve been having some back problems.

Im fine. When do we leave?

You dont have any objections?

Well, the last time I shirked my responsibility,

Alicia and Maija ended up in med bay.

But I do have one request.

Of course you do.

What do you want, a full body massage?

Would you?

Id like Captain Garnet to join me like last time.

I dont think thats a good idea.

What I mean to say is, its not wise for the captain of the ship

to go on unnecessary spacewalks. Ill go.

I have no problems...

Mr. Trust and I used to work together.

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

Are you okay with that, Mr. Trust?

Yes, Im fine.

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

Okay.

Ah. Hey, can I talk to you?

I think theres something up with Mr. Strickland.

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

before the DOTE was overloaded.

Yeah, Im sure theres an explanation.

Thats what Garnet said.

But, you see, the explanation he gave me,

it didnt rightly add up.

Wait, so Garnet told you to let it go?

- Yeah. - Well, shes the captain, so let it go.

Come on. Brice, wait, wait.

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

But Im begging you. Please, just hear me out.

All right, go on then.

You and I both like Mr. Strickland, right?

So, best case, we look into it, there aint nothing wrong.

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

We find out there is something really terribly wrong

and we did nothing to stop it.

Plus, Garnet wont even listen to me, but shell listen to you.

I have noticed hes a bit off.

He seems jumpy, and its not exactly normal

for him to volunteer for a spacewalk, you know?

Yes, thank you. So, what now?

Well, if the capacitor junction

is the only thing weve got to go off,

then I suggest we start there.

Its not really my thing.

But, jazz, oh, now thats my favorite kind of music.

- Really? - Mm-hmm.

(laughs)

You know, Spence, he hated jazz.

He actually said it was like a group of people

who couldnt read music trying to guess what song to play.

You see? Were not the same person.

Same face maybe, but very different lives.

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

Yeah.

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

Really puts the pressure on, eh?

You know, for what its worth, Ive always quite liked jazz.

So there may be hope for you yet.

(beeps)

There she is.

Look.

Okay.

22...

(muttering)

These two capacitors were swapped.

Why didnt anybody catch it?

Well, such a small change you wouldnt notice it

unless you were looking for it.

That must be what overloaded the DOTE.

All right, but why would Strickland do this?

You know him better than I do, mate.

You dont think...

you dont think he could be responsible

for the radiation leak as well?

- (pounding on door) - I need to speak with you.

Of course. Come in.

Um, Ian is definitely the one

behind the radiation vent.

So theres no longer any reason

for you to go through Maijas personal belongings,

which are still in med bay.

No reason at all.

Right. Got it.

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

Okay.

(beeps)

(beeping)

(chimes)

(music playing)

All council members, please report to the ready room.

Alicia please remain in your quarters.

Ian will be filling in for you.

Sharon, we need to talk to you about Strickland.

- I dont have time for this right now. - Sharon, please...

Both of you drop it. Thats an order.

Everybody settle in.

(beeps)

I have a lot to go over.

Sharon, what is going on?

Sharon on tape: Ive gathered you all here today to discuss crew morale.

As we move toward Trappist-1D, well be facing a lot of uncertainty.

What does this new planet hold?

What will our crews lives and roles look like moving forward?

People will be looking to you all for answers.

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

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

The bloody finger tapping. Morse code. Of course.

Mate, I shouldve noticed straight away. Im so sorry.

Will somebody explain whats going on?

Im being blackmailed.

Ah! Well, that explains it.

Why couldnt you just tell us you needed help?

I realized whoevers doing this can track and listen to all of us through our WDs.

And hes been watching us, too.

I assume through the former Ark 3s cameras.

But we only have cameras on the bridge.

So thats why you blocked out the windows in there.

But I dont know how he knew what I did and did not do.

We dont have cameras anywhere else, right?

Only on the outside of the ship.

According to Maijas communications with the blackmailer,

theyre monitoring all our systems.

So that must be how he knew I actually tried

not to actually switch the capacitors.

Look, Im not being funny, Felix,

but what do they have on you?

Like, why are you going along with this?

- They have my daughter. - Jesus.

You sure they really have her?

I asked her a question only she would know.

- You heard her voice? - Yes.

Yes, shes alive.

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

No. Hes been giving me small tasks.

One of them led to the DOTE malfunction.

Im not sure what the others are for.

Well, Maija was being blackmailed, too.

They mustve had her unknowingly change the coding

to cause the radiation blow out.

- But why would they want to hurt Alicia? - Maybe they didnt.

Trust was supposed to be on duty, remember?

Thats right. She was covering for him.

The blackmailer asked me to volunteer

to do the spacewalk with Trust.

He had me adjust the airlock failsafe

so it would register that the personnel had returned

to the airlock even when nobody was there.

Whoevers doing this wants Trust dead.

Yes, I think so. Because hes asked me to do two more things.

Disable the mic on Trusts EVA helmet

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

All right, do what he says.

We need them to think theyre in control.

I have a plan, but we gotta work quickly

and we cant tell Mr. Trust

because his reaction needs to be convincing.

(beeps)

Voice: Hello, Mr. Strickland.

We are finally at the last step.

I thought the spacewalk was the last step.

Once you and Trust are outside of the ship,

I need you to cut both of your tethers.

- Both? - Im afraid we cant have any loose ends.

So we need you to die with Trust.

Now why would I agree to that?

Its a simple choice really.

either you die or your daughter does.

- You ready, Mr. Trust? - Yes.

Computer: Airlock depressurizing.

(no audible dialogue)

It seems you have a comms problem.

Your mic, its not working.

But were nearly done. Are you okay with hand signals?

(electricity buzzing)

(music playing)

The airlock personnel sensor is registering two people inside.

All personnel are accounted for.

Coordinates locked for Trappist-1D.

Initiating NEPS engines now.

(no audible dialogue)

Trust and Strickland are dead,

or will be as soon as their air runs out.

- (beeps) - Ill take the girl back to where she belongs.

The blackmailers signal is gone and out of our systems.

Purge the foreign code so they cant get into our systems again.

Done.

(no audible dialogue)

(music playing)

(panting)

We can speak freely now. Well done, guys.

Okay, can someone explain what just happened?

Im sorry for making you stay in your cabin,

but Felix was being blackmailed.

I was afraid whoever was doing it may have heard

our conversation about your safety,

so it seemed smarter to keep you in there.

Wait, blackmailed? Why?

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

They wanted him and Felix to die on the spacewalk

to make it look like an accident.

Eva: They had Felix disable

Mr. Trusts helmet comms so he couldnt call for help.

Garnet: And the blackmailer had him rig the airlock

so the infrared sensors would indicate they both were aboard.

Thats how I knew they were sending him on a suicide mission.

But we have cameras on the hull.

Why didnt they see a giant EF ship just sitting out there?

I swapped the camera feed to play back video

from yesterdays hull camera on that side of the ship,

so it would look like wed left and theres no EF 2 ship outside.

But the blackmailer could still see the live feed

from where Mr. Trust and Felix were.

Thats brilliant. But if the blackmailer

was monitoring our WDs and computers,

well, how did you tell EF 2 the plan

without, you know, using any of our comms?

Well, thats where we come in.

Brice and I jerry-rigged an EVA backpack

to act as an air-gapped probe.

Its not connected to any of our systems or frequencies,

so it cant be monitored.

Brice: And we encoded the probe with a message

for EF 2 explaining that when they dropped out of FTL

we needed them to approach on the side

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

All the blackmailer could see was Mr. Trust and Felix floating into open space.

- Amazing! - (chiming)

Its EF 2 requesting a live feed.

Put em through.

Hello, Captain. We made it to EF 2,

where we were received by Avega and his crew.

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

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

I wouldve appreciated being looped into the plan to fake my death.

- I couldve had a heart attack. - Im sorry about that,

but we didnt know how good of an actor you were, Mr. Trust.

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

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

So, you cast yourself, did you, buddy?

Okay, Im gonna need a full report

on everything the blackmailer said to you, Felix.

Felix: Request permission to prioritize something else.

I need to figure out where that signal came from.

I need to find my daughter.

Of course. Anything you need, its yours.

Felix, well find her.

Anyone with an idea how to trace that signal,

talk to Alicia and Eva. Its top priority.

- Ian? - Uh-oh.

Am I in trouble?

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

I shouldve listened. Im sorry.

Oh, dont worry about it.

Ian, theres something else.

I...

I also wanted to apologize for how Ive been with you.

I know that we need to talk about everything.

But I just need some time.

Mm. I can give you that.

(beeping)

Captain Garnet?

I ran an algorithm to trace the signal.

- And? - You were right.

Its coming from Trappist-1D, but I cant pinpoint where.

- Brice: Home Base 1? - Im afraid so.

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

and we dont know who it is.
