01x03 - The Fog

Post by bunniefuu »

Wake up.

Ah, there you are.

Sit down.

Your mother and I were discussing

the unfortunate circumstance

of the ship being turned around.

And I was just telling her

sometimes one has to adjust

to a situation as it unfolds.

With every calamity comes

opportunity.

Meet me in my room after breakfast.

Don't keep me waiting.

Look what you've done.

We should have never gotten on this ship.

It was a mistake.

All of it a huge mistake.

Ada?

Ada?

There's no sign of bruising.

The skin is unbroken.

Bones intact.

No discoloration in the throat.

Rules out poisoning.

Looks like natural causes to me.

Possible stroke or heart att*ck.

I've met her.

Two days ago, in third class.

She looked healthy.

There was nothing wrong with her.

That's why I think it's a mistake

for women to venture into medicine.

They're too attached to their emotions

to clearly perceive the facts at hand.

Ever heard of Darwin?

Survival of the fittest?

It's the process of natural selection

and a way for God

to clean out the bad seeds.

Now, if I can finish my breakfast.

Thank you.

You met her?

Hmm.

There's a pregnant girl downstairs.

This is her sister.

Don't tell anyone.

But, Captain,

shouldn't we let the family know?

Someone must have given

the order to reduce speed.

We had a clear view.

And then from one second to the next,

this.

First the compasses, and now the fog.

We can't navigate anymore.

What should we do?

We hold our position.

Wait until the fog has cleared.

I need to show you something.

This is a mistake.

Just like every other decision

he's made on this trip.

We've gone off course.

He turned the ship back around.

He's completely lost his mind.

This ribbon.

It belonged to my daughter.

I found it on the Prometheus.

She's dead.

So are her sisters.

And my wife.

They d*ed in a fire almost two years ago.

Or at least that's what I thought.

But yesterday, I saw Nina.

How is that possible?

Can we see things that aren't there

and still believe they're real?

Our brain isn't always entirely reliable.

Everything that we see and feel and hear

are the result of electrical impulses.

And sometimes

we misinterpret those impulses.

It's what makes people go mad.

I'm sorry for your losses.

Am I mad?

Or do you see what I see?

I know this ship inside out.

This is not supposed to be here.

I have no idea what's going on here

and why my daughter's ribbon

was on the Prometheus.

But the ship company,

I believe they're trying

to hide something.

Whatever happened on the Prometheus,

the captain must have written it down.

I'm going back to find the logbook.

I'm coming with you.

Why has the ship stopped?

No one tells us anything.

None of us want to go back.

When they turned the ship around,

they stole our future,

and now they don't even care

if one of us goes missing.

Iben, I'm sure we'll find her.

You didn't find her?

Do something.

It's through prayer

that we find the right path.

Pray with us.

Father! We have to find Ada.

Anker, lead us in prayer.

Keep going.

Undress.

Don't pretend you don't understand.

Undress.

You're prettier than I thought.

Lie down.

I need to see if you're clean.

I'm sure you're

just as frustrated as everyone else

with the ship being turned around.

But if my experience

has taught me one thing,

it's that frustration and boredom

are great motivators

to seek out other pleasures.

Human behavior is predictable.

Desire meets opportunity.

Et voilà.

This might hurt a little.

Interesting.

Are you still a virgin?

Considering you're meant to be

one of my best girls,

I find that very surprising.

Stop.

I don't like to be deceived.

But I do like to be surprised.

You truly are a rare bird, aren't you?

And rarity has value.

All the more now.

I hope you knew what this job was

when you took the other girl's place.

Be ready at 8:00.

With all due respect,

you can't leave the ship again.

People want to know what is going on.

Dammit.

I want to know what is going on.

That boy, why won't he speak?

He's right.

There is something wrong with that ship.

We should leave the Prometheus behind

and set the Kerberos back on course.

Lower the boat.

Franz.

He's a drunken wreck.

And you know it.

We must act.

This morning

in the infirmary,

why did you want me there?

I wanted a second opinion.

And contrary to what Dr. Murray said,

I believe you don't let emotions

cloud your judgment.

Thank you.

It was

kind of you to take the boy in.

He lost everything.

Do you have children?

A couple of years ago,

I had a miscarriage.

There were complications,

and I can't have children anymore.

I'm sorry.

Why are you so afraid to go back home?

Because I lost everything.

She knows we lied.

She knows that we are not

who we say we are.

Are you happy now?

Is this how you imagined it?

Your freedom?

I tried to protect you.

- I wanted a better life for you.

- A better life?

All you have ever done is put me in a box.

Every time those men

came on board, I had to hide.

You put me in a prison.

You can call it whatever you want.

But at least

you didn't have to sell yourself.

Is that such a big deal?

I've seen you do that often enough.

I know how it is done.

There is no turning back after this.

It's the kind of dirt that never rubs off.

You'll become what I have become, a whore.

Ling Yi!

Ling Yi!

Ling Yi, come back!

Ling Yi!

Please, where are you?

Ling Yi.

You k*lled her.

I didn't mean to.

How much

did you put in her drink?

I just wanted to make her sleep.

It's too late now.

Come give me a hand.

We have to get rid of her.

Ling Yi.

Hurry!

Stop! Stop it!

I'm in here.

Please stop!

Let me out! Let me out!

Let me out!

Help! Help!

Let me out!

Help!

What happened?

It's okay now.

Easy.

Are you cold?

It's dirty, but it's warm.

I'm Olek.

Olek.

Ling Yi.

Ling Yi, I beg you!

Where are you?

Ling Yi!

I know a better hiding place.

Come.

Ada is still missing,

and why are we not moving?

Maybe they are thinking

about turning back to America.

Well, we paid for this.

They better bring us to our destination.

We can't go back home. What do they think?

That we have money left

to pay for a second fare?

It's all because of

that other ship out there.

It's cursed.

And that boy they found

brought the curse with him.

Or why else would he,

of all passengers, still be alive?

You, are you part of the crew?

What is happening?

Answer me.

Do you speak German?

A little.

We found your sister.

Who did this?

Who did this?

A doctor examined her.

He couldn't tell exactly what happened.

Get out of my way.

Get out of my way!

Look what the tide brought in.

You must stop acting like this,

or I'll start to think you don't like me.

I'm looking for my sister.

I have no idea

what you're saying.

We don't know where she is.

That scar on your face,

how did you get it?

We all wear masks.

We all pretend.

Presenting a perfect illusion

on the outside,

while we desperately try to hide

who we are on the inside.

I was forced to hide

who I am my whole life.

I didn't choose my mask.

My mother chose it for me.

But you

you can't hide.

Everyone sees you for what you are.

Don't tell me you don't like it.

It almost looks as if

the fog was there to stop us from moving.

The logbook.

It should be here.

There's one here as well.

Give me a hand.

Do you see anything?

Did you find it?

Why would they build

a tiled shaft there?

It doesn't make sense.

A few months ago

the fleet, a total of three German ships,

was sold to a British investor.

Henry Singleton.

The ships went to the dry dock

for three months.

They put in the new communication system,

and they refurbished everything.

This sign, the triangle,

it's the ship company's symbol.

They clearly put this here.

There's something else they changed.

Follow me.

I know it's not first class, but

Uh, if you're hungry,

I can get something to eat.

It's not a problem.

I can go and get something.

Wait here. I'll be back in a moment.

Mei Mei?

Are you all right?

Are you human or a ghost?

You must leave now.

My ship isn't leaving until later tonight.

I said goodbye

to the girls at the brothel.

Oh, and I wanted to show you something.

Look how pretty it is.

They told me I'll get more later.

And while I'm waiting

in England for the ship to America,

they will give me dance lessons

and teach me Japanese.

Aren't you happy for me? I finally have

a chance to get out of here.

Why is this happening?

Why is this happening again?

What are you talking about?

Mei Mei?

Did you drink that?

You offered it to me a minute ago.

No.

This can't be happening again.

It was an accident.

I've seen my mother give it

to the men that come here.

They've always woken up again.

I just wanted you to sleep.

So when you woke up,

I would have taken your place

and been on my way to England.

Wake up this time!

What happened?

Come on.

Calm down.

I've done

something horrible.

This kimono

doesn't belong to me.

This is not me.

It's all a lie.

We are not supposed to have dreams.

Where have you been?

Krester.

Krester, stop! Stop!

Stop. Stop.

We have to open the window

or her soul can't leave.

Stop.

They put this here as well.

It's supposed to measure

the steam pressure

and send signals up to the bridge.

But on the Kerberos, it never worked.

You think they lied?

They put it here for something else?

Whatever they've done to the ship,

it doesn't explain where everyone went.

How hot do these get?

Up to 900 degrees Celsius.

A cremator generates

that kind of temperature.

You think they b*rned the bodies?

You have to look out for tiny fractures

of bones and teeth.

Have you found something?

No.

We should return now.

I'm sorry.

Please forgive me.

You were right.

We're not supposed to have dreams.

And if we take what doesn't belong to us

our dreams turn into nightmares.

Tell Mrs. Wilson that I'm ready.

Are you going out?

Yeah.

I'm going to get some air.

Want me to come with you?

No.

Stop.

Don't. That's not what I want.

I'd just like to stay here for a while.

If you don't mind.

Things never work out

the way you imagine they will.

This is exactly

what I wanted my whole life.

First class.

Fine clothes.

I thought I deserved a different life.

None of that matters anymore.

Don't be afraid.

It never lasts long.

Are you all right?

You haven't said a word

since we left the Prometheus.

Better not tell anyone where we were.

These aren't the only ones.

We found three more bodies

in the crew quarters.

Just the same as the little girl.

No blood.

No bruises.

Nothing.

You're the first mate.

You must take command of the ship.

You said it yourself.

There's something wrong with that ship.

Something k*lled everyone over there,

and now the same thing is happening here.

Why did the company want us

to sink the ship?

Maybe they didn't want

whatever is on that ship to get off.

You heard the captain.

We wait.

I know what you're thinking.

I know you feel mistreated.

Treated unfairly.

You're not the only ones.

People are dying like flies on our ship.

And what does the captain do?

Nothing.

I say we fight.

Yes!

And set the Kerberos

back on course.

Who's with me?

Good. Hand out the g*ns.

Hey! You, Olek!

Stop him

before he warns the captain!

This is a f*cking mutiny!

This is insane!

Looks like this trip hasn't

turned out the way you planned either.

This way.

Ramiro.

You won't believe what is happening.

People are arming themselves.

Where were you?

Did you hear what I said?

There's gonna be a mutiny.

They're overthrowing the captain.

We're going to America.

Were you with him?

Jesus, Ramiro.

You sound like a jealous housewife.

Did you hear what I said?

We get what we want.

They're turning the ship around.

Maybe I don't want that anymore.

Are you on your period?

Do you ever take anything seriously?

You constantly make me feel

like I'm less than you.

That all of this is somehow my fault.

But it isn't.

It's you.

You made me do all of this.

None of this would have ever happened.

You and I would have never happened.

Ángel, for Christ's sake.

I k*lled a man.

I f*cking took someone's life.

And now I'm wearing his clothes.

And all because of you.

Because you can't control yourself!

How can you be like this?

You promised you'd change.

You cannot change the nature of things.

I am who I am.

And you are who you are.

Nothing will change that.

Where are you going?

To do the right thing.

To warn the captain.

Odd, this fog, isn't it?

Almost as if someone

had sent it here on purpose,

to stop that madman

dragging us all back to Europe.

I don't think he's mad.

You agree with him

turning the ship around?

I just think I understand

what he's been through.

He lost everything he loves.

He's a deeply hurt man whose judgment

has been clouded by his past experiences.

I lost someone too.

Lock yourself in the cabin.

I told you, people aren't going

to sit still and just let it happen.

Father Ramiro?

They want

to turn the ship back around, to America.

They've got g*ns.

I don't understand

what you're saying.

We're turning the ship around.
