02x02 - Episode 2

[bunniefuu]

You're human.

[SNIFFS]

Please, just let me go.

Given the extent of their physical degeneration, we think that you'll encounter minimal resistance.

That's my sister.

MAN ON RADIO: It's a trap.

We're under att*ck.

They must've cured themselves.

He's one of them.

I'm looking for someone.

Professor Bill Ward.

KARIEM: You've been gone for months.

What did they do to you?

You have to k*ll him.

Mmm...

ADINA: He's creating a virus that will slaughter our people.

You will die with us.

You can stop it from happening.

How?

You have to k*ll him.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

Em, what's wrong?

I can feel them.

What do you mean?

I can feel them.

I feel their pain.

It's okay.

You're safe now.

None of us are safe.

MOKRANI: [IN FRENCH]

How long have you been sitting with him?

Most of the night.

Has he said anything?

I gave him the antibiotics.

The equations in his notepad.

I think they're important.

More important than the lives of the people here?

Hmm?

WOMAN: Sophia?

[IN ENGLISH]

This will terminate the pregnancy in the first ten weeks.

Okay.

Have you told Nathan?

No.

It's better if he never knows.

If there's anything else you need.

Thank you.

They'll never know they were human.

It's better this way.

If they knew, they'd grow up to hate us.

Like we grew up to hate them?

We lost some more of our people.

- How many?

- Six.

We cure ourselves so we can die fighting them?

We have no choice.

We k*ll them, they k*ll us.

Sometimes I think it will never end.

It's different this time.

Emily knows what she's got to do.

[MACHINE WHIRRING]

What are you doing?

I...

I was looking for your mother.

Right.

[WEAKLY]

Water.

Water.

Please.

Thank you.

The equations...

What are they?

They're formulas.

To measure the collapse of the matter waves.

This matter wave...

Is it what we call wave particle duality?

It's all around us.

It's...

It's only when we see them, that we call them objects or things.

Only then are they part of space and time.

We know of these collapses.

We only partially understand them.

It took us hundreds of years.

Even now, transposing the matter waves is dangerous.

[EXHALES]

You can control them?

Can you move objects through space and time?

Yes.

We detected ripples in interstellar space, close to the edge of our solar system.

Do you know what they were?

They are the echoes of our transposition, our journey to Earth.

But you came to Earth more than six months ago.

Why are we only detecting these ripples now?

The echoes travel at the speed of light.

It took them longer to get here.

Longer than you?

Our journey took no time at all.

[EXHALES]

Hey.

You said you wanted to change things?

It's not too late.

What do you mean?

How?

How can you change it?

[IN FRENCH]

You walk along the river and you join the other section here.

He regained consciousness.

Leave us.

Did he say anything?

He said their journey to Earth took no time at all.

How is that possible?

In the quantum world, photons and electrons can affect each other even if they're hundreds of miles apart.

It happens in an instant.

There's no travel, no communication, no time passes.

Can they use this?

I think they can move objects instantaneously across vast distances.

I think it's how they got here.

Catherine, how does it help us?

I don't know.

I don't know.

He said we could change things.

That it wasn't too late.

If you can manipulate the world on a quantum level, then maybe anything is possible.

Yeah, maybe.

[SIGHS]

I know I shouldn't have given him the antibiotics.

All I could think about was getting answers.

That was more important to me than anything.

How can you love someone who thinks like that?

It's not easy.

All I can tell you is that I do.

Em?

[IN ENGLISH]

How're you doing?

I'm okay.

Mum has to stop herself from crying every time she looks at me.

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

She was in pieces when you didn't come back.

We thought you were dead.

Maybe you should go and find Mum.

[SIGHS]

[GASPS]

You're angry with me for using the antibiotics.

When someone else needs them, you can explain why you chose to save him.

And then you can watch them die.

There's someone out there.

I asked for volunteers to clear the snow from around the service panels.

- [GLASS SHATTERS]

- [GASPS]

[LIGHT SWITCHES OFF]

[IN FRENCH]

Oh, no.

Check the generator.

CATHERINE: Stay away from the windows!

[GASPS]

What's happening?

CATHERINE: Stay away from the windows!

[g*n FIRES]

- SOPHIA: Theo!

- [IN FRENCH]

Catherine, down!

- Theo?

- [MOKRANI IN FRENCH]

Get down, Sophia!

Theo!

- MOKRANI: [IN FRENCH]

Sophia, get down!

- Theo!

Theo?

Sophia!

MOKRANI: [IN FRENCH]

Emily, get down!

Theo?

- Theo?

- THEO: No!

- [g*n FIRES]

- No!

No!

[g*n f*ring]

[GASPS]

Theo!

[CRYING]

NATHAN: [IN FRENCH]

Sophia, get up!

There's nothing you can do!

Leave him!

You have to leave him!

Let's go!

[PEOPLE CLAMOURING]

[SCREAMS]

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

Quickly!

Quickly!

Nathan.

Nathan!

[g*nf*re CONTINUES]

MOKRANI: [IN FRENCH]

Let's go!

SOPHIA: Catherine!

Got it!

The service tunnel!

Go!

Come on, Sophia!

Go!

[YELLS]

[IN ENGLISH]

Go, go, go!

[IN FRENCH]

Where's Theo?

He's dead.

MOKRANI: Get out of here.

Get out!

[IN FRENCH]

Come on!

Come on!

[g*n FIRES]

[IN ENGLISH]

No!

[IN FRENCH]

Take them away.

Take them away.

NATHAN: [IN FRENCH]

Come on.

[DOORKNOB RATTLES]

Micah?

[IN ENGLISH]

Why did you have to do this?

There has to be...

another way.

There is no other way.

It's us or them.

It doesn't have to be like this.

Did you tell them why you came here?

They should know that it doesn't have to be like this.

Where is the notebook?

You cannot k*ll an idea.

They won’t ever understand it.

Your ideas will die with you.

You can k*ll your own brother?

We cannot allow you to live.

MICAH: Please...

[CHOKING]

[GROANS]

Don't get old.

I think the chances of that are extremely slim.

[BILL SIGHS]

My boyfriend was in the wine trade.

Yeah?

What happened to him?

He d*ed.

In the att*ck?

After.

I tested Emily's DNA.

- She let you?

- I took a hair from her hairbrush.

She shares some of the same mutations as the aliens.

She...

She's alien?

- It's incredible.

- [EXHALES SHARPLY]

Her DNA is almost identical.

The chances of that are... are billions to one.

How is that even possible?

I don't know.

It doesn't make any sense.

None of it makes any sense.

Well, you said that if you had a live alien, you could start testing the virus.

Seems to me like you've got one.

You want me to test it on Emily?

Could you?

[SCOFFS]

You're asking me to... to deliberately infect her?

What would it do to her?

Well, I'm developing RNA interferers that shut down the genes that cause insulin.

She would fall into a diabetic coma and she would die.

Well, maybe that's a price worth paying.

I'm not gonna do it.

How could I experiment on a -year-old girl?

She's a child.

This is it.

This is what the end of humanity looks like.

Drink up.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

[DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES]

[DOOR OPENS]

- BILL: Hello, Tom.

- Hey.

Couldn't sleep.

Hmm.

Who can these days?

[EMILY PANTING]

[SPEAKING FRENCH]

I think they've gone.

You think it's weird that they look like us?

What?

Nothing.

Pack up your things.

We're leaving.

Chloe?

[IN ENGLISH]

You okay?

The tremor in Sacha's hand...

It's come back.

You can't be sure what it is.

I mean, maybe he's just tired...

No, no, no.

It's the muscular dystrophy.

And it's getting worse.

Like his father.

I can't bear it.

Come here.

Hey.

How are you feeling?

Everyone keeps asking me that.

[CLEARS THROAT]

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to say.

You can sit down.

Mmm, maybe don't wanna get too close.

What do you mean?

Everyone thinks I'm one of them.

I don't think that.

[SIGHS]

So...

What's been going on with you these last few months?

- Any good parties?

- [SIGHS]

No.

- No good parties.

- [CHUCKLES]

Met any nice girls?

You're seeing someone?

I thought you were dead.

I'm sorry.

Kariem, honestly, it's fine.

You're not jealous?

Well, is...

Is she prettier than me?

No, I...

[SIGHS]

You're joking.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

What happened to you on that ship?

I know something is wrong.

Whatever it is, you can tell me.

Please.

I want to help you.

Sometimes, it feels like they're inside my head.

I keep having these... thoughts.

I'm so scared.

Maybe you should talk to Bill.

No.

No.

No, I don't think I should.

[WIND WHISTLING]

[BREATHING RAGGEDLY]

[IN FRENCH]

I'll check upstairs.

[FOOTSTEPS RECEDING]

We just leave him up there?

We don't bury him?

It's too dangerous to go back.

If he was here he'd tell us not to go.

I'm sorry.

I'll see if I can find some wood for a fire.

[SOPHIA SIGHS]

I promised Theo I'd protect him.

I told him I'd keep him safe..

Sophia.

Sophia.

It's not your fault, okay?

There's nothing you could have done.

[SOPHIA SIGHS]

- MAN: [IN ENGLISH]

Get down!

Get down!

- [EXCLAIMING]

Don't sh**t!

Don't sh**t!

Don't sh**t!

MAN: Check them.

Show me your wrists.

Your wrists, let me see 'em.

Take your bag off.

JONATHAN: I'm looking for my family.

Do you know them?

No.

No way.

Tom and Emily's dad?

Are they still alive?

Yeah.

Yeah, they're here.

They're here.

They're inside.

Sarah?

Mate, she's with them.

Are..

Are you sure?

You're sure...

You're sure that that's them?

Mate, I'm %.

I've been with them since the start.

Happy days.

Sarah.

SARAH: Oh, my God.

You're alive.

- JONATHAN: Oh...

- [SARAH SOBS]

Hi.

Hi.

[CHUCKLES]

Oh, Jesus.

It's so good to see you.

[BOTH CHUCKLING]

The kids?

They're here.

They're fine.

We're okay.

[SARAH LAUGHS]

Dad?

Tom.

Hey, buddy.

TOM: I thought you were dead.

JONATHAN: No.

I never stopped looking for you.

- Same hair.

- [BOTH CHUCKLE]

JONATHAN: Em.

It's me.

It's your dad.

EMILY: I know.

[CRYING]

I can see you.

[IN FRENCH]

You can help me if you like?

What's going to happen now Jonathan has his family?

What do you mean?

Will he get back with his wife?

[SIGHS]

I don't know.

Let's just be grateful that he's found them.

Everything will change now.

EMILY: [IN ENGLISH]

Mom's telling him about me.

It's okay.

I know you think I'm one of them.

Are you?

No.

[BABY COOS]

[BABY GRUNTS]

What is it?

ADINA: It's Micah.

He's dead.

How?

He d*ed fighting for our people.

[SOBBING]

I'm truly sorry.

Jokim will bring his body here for burial.

Was Jokim there when Micah d*ed?

Yes.

He did everything he could.

He couldn't save him.

[CONTINUES SOBBING]

Sarah.

Chloe?

This is, erm...

This is Chloe.

We, erm, travelled through France together.

Hi.

Hi.

This is Tom, Emily.

My kids.

Your dad talked to me about you.

It's nice to finally meet you.

SARAH: Thank you for looking after him.

CHLOE: I'm glad he found you.

SARAH: If you need anything, anything at all...

Yeah, thank you.

Uh, this is my son, Sacha.

Hi.

SARAH: We'll, uh, let you settle in.

- I'll show you where we're sleeping.

- Yeah.

What?

[IN FRENCH]

I want the water, and I'll take your bag, too.

Thank you.

Nothing.

SARAH: We'll have to squeeze in another mattress.

- Sarah...

- I don't want Emily sleeping on her own.

Not after everything she's been through.

So she's in with us for now.

Sarah...

I'm with Chloe.

We didn't mean for it to happen.

I'm sorry.

[SOFTLY]

Oh...

Oh, you thought I was dead, so...

She's very pretty.

How old is she?

Sorry.

Everything was so f*cked up.

I thought...

I thought I lost you and the kids.

I was going under, I was a mess.

We just...

We needed each other.

- I'm sorry.

- Don't.

Things weren't exactly great between us.

I've hated myself for that, every single day.

Just go.

[IN FRENCH]

This is the building.

[SIGHS]

[IN FRENCH]

Right, go ahead.

I'll keep watch.

SOPHIA: How do we find this Professor Bill Ward?

CATHERINE: We have to assume he's some kind of scientist.

We'll start there.

Look at the reference pages.

What are they?

At the back of the book, they list all the sources used for research.

I miss the internet.

ADINA: [IN ENGLISH]

He's creating a virus that will slaughter our people.

You have to k*ll him.

[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]

[OBJECTS CLATTERING SOFTLY]

Emily?

- [GRUNTS]

- [GROANING]

I won't let you k*ll them.

KARIEM: Emily.

[GROANS]

SACHA: [IN FRENCH]

What's going on?

Jonathan's daughter, Emily.

She tried to k*ll someone.

[INAUDIBLE]

BILL: [IN ENGLISH]

Hello, Tom.

I heard what Emily did.

Oh, no.

I'm fine.

She tried to k*ll you.

Yeah.

Everyone's saying she's one of them.

Is she?

Yes.

How can she be?

She's my sister.

None of it makes any sense.

I'm sorry, Tom.

What are they gonna do to her?

I don't know.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

We don't have a choice.

I'm sorry.

I didn't know what I was doing.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Look, uh...

I'm gonna give you something to, uh...

To help you sleep.

Okay?

Okay.

What is it?

It's, erm...

It's just a mild sedative.

[SOBS]

Okay.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

Just...

Just get some sleep, okay?

[DOOR LOCKING]
