03x02 - Never Let Go

[bunniefuu]

[water rushing]

[thunder rumbling]

[somber instrumental music playing]

[theme music plays]

[thunder rumbling]

[footsteps]

[girl] She's the one
who went outside the wall.

-[boy] Well, how can you tell?
-[girl] It is her.

[birds chirping]

-[breathing heavily]
-[girl] She's waking up.

[Simone groans]

[labored breaths]

-Where am I?
-Hey.

[groaning]

[whispers] Shh. You have to be quiet.
Can't let the others hear you.

[boy] No, it's OK, Luna.
They won't hear us here.

You're safe.

Just relax.

I'm Daniel and this is my sister, Luna.

[voice quivers]
I can't. I can't stay here. [panting]

They're after me. They can see it.

They can see that I'm-- They can see it.

You mean with this one?

It's dead.

Look, I don't know who's after you
or why, but... they're not here.

[breathing relaxes]

You're safe here.

-We'll look after you.
-[chuckles softly]

[gentle instrumental music playing]

[Sarah] I want to feel like this forever.

[softly] Yeah.

I've been missing out on so much.

[breathing heavily]

[both chuckle softly]

It's as if...

as if I can feel both you and me.

As if...

-As if we're the same person?
-Yes.

[both chuckle softly]

It's nice.

You feel sad.

No.

Yes, you do...

because of Simone.

I can feel it.

It's OK.

You're allowed to.

-It's not your fault.
-Uh, I don't want to talk about it.

-But that's how you feel.
-I don't want to.

[Sarah sighs]

Are you angry now?

You should meet Sten.

I thought you said we could stay here.

-He has to see that you're like me.
-What for?

'Cause you're proof
we can do what we promised.

We can save everyone.

-Does it have to be right now?
-Yes. Come.

-Come.
-[Sarah groans]

[pulsing music playing]

-[guard 1 groans]
-[Martin grunting]

[guard 2 groans]

[grunting]

[Martin yells]

[guard 2 groans]

[gasping, groaning]

-[Martin grunting]
-[guard 2 spluttering]

[choking, gasping]

-[Martin yells]
-[cr*ck]

-[metal clatters]
-[Martin groans]

[panting]

[Simone] Thanks.

Must have been some really nasty people.

-Who?
-The ones with the tracker.

-No, they're my friends.
-Your friends?

So they could find me.

[chewing]

But how did you find me?

You believe in destiny?

No.

Well, eh...
then I was just lucky, I guess.

Or you were.

Unless you wanted to, uh...

wanted to drown.

Did you?

[cutlery clinks]

[sighs]

I've been outside the wall.

The virus has spread.

It's everywhere.

I wanna show you something.

[birds chirping]

[soft music playing]

-[Simone] What is this place?
-[Daniel] It's paradise.

It's like being home.

-Isn't it?
-How is it possible?

Let's just say,
you don't have to fear the virus here.

You don't have to fear anything.

We're far away in the middle of nowhere,
and we're hidden so...

no one comes here.

-Yeah, but...
-We're surrounded by the virus.

But here...

here we can live in peace.

For how long?

As long as possible.

-We'll live in the moment.
-[chuckles]

OK.

Carpe diem.

[chuckles]

Exactly.

Wanna swim?

Um...

I've just almost drowned.

[laughs]

Yeah. [chuckles] Right.

-Let's go sailing.
-You have a boat?

-[laughs] Seriously?
-Come on. I'll show you.

Ow! [chuckles]

-You OK?
-Yeah.

[machine beeping]

[man] She has it.

-Yeah.
-The virus is in her, just like in him.

Told you so.

You know what this means, right?

That it's possible.

We can create a new world
where everyone has the virus.

We can create a new human being.

Can we get started?

[Sten] Well, we don't know
how it works yet,

and she has to be studied.

[exhales]

You're the perfect test subject.

How could it be you?

Do you feel it?

Um...

-Well, I--
-Can you control the virus?

Have you experienced an outbreak or...?

I-- I don't want this.

I-- I can't do this. I don't want to.

Sarah, nothing will happen.

-How do you know that?
-Nothing--

And I'm not here for this,
I'm here for you!

[rapid beeping]

-And I'm not your lab rat!
-[frenetic beeping]

Sarah... Sarah...

-[trill]
-[door opening]

[door closing]

She needs time to get used to it.

Maybe she should be less selfish

and appreciate that she's alive,
thanks to you.

Don't say that about her.

Sarah?

Sarah, stop.

Wh-- Where are you going?

Away from here.

-Away? Wh-- Where to?
-Who is this Sten? What does he want?

-Why are we doing as he says?
-We're not doing as he says.

You're locked up in a glass cage

and I was covered in electrodes.

Why?

To save the others.

It's not about the others.

But if I can save everyone...

then I wouldn't be the problem.

OK?

[water splashing]

-[Daniel] Hm.
-[Simone laughs]

-[tranquil music playing]
-[birds chirping]

[Simone] We had a lake
nearby where I grew up, too.

[Daniel] Like this one?

[Simone] Yeah, kind of...

but not as big.

My brother and I used to go
swimming there in the summer.

That sounds really nice.

[Simone] Mm.

[chuckling] So, who are you?

Who are you?

[chuckles softly]

-[chuckles] Hey!
-[laughing]

[gasps]

[laughing] Hey!

[echoing laughter]

[music continues]

[woman] You're staying here.

You'll be under constant monitoring.

The room measures your temperature
and the baby's heartbeat.

If anything were to happen,
we'd be here in ten seconds.

Fancy prison.

[chuckles] It's not a prison.

OK, so we're free to come and go
whenever we want--

No.

So, it is a prison.

[doctor] Would you rather be outside?

-[Patrick] Fine.
-What about the bed? There's only one.

Yes.

But, well, we're...

[doctor] Isn't he the father?

Yeah, yeah, but I don't think, um...

What? It's-- it's a big bed.
It's a great bed.

Yes, but no.

Oh, uh, no.

-Definitely no.
-OK, we'll bring you an extra bed.

[Fie sighs]

-[door closes]
-[sighs] What the hell we gonna do?

I'll just sleep on the floor
and you can have--

Patrick, that's not
what I'm talking about.

Are we doing the right thing?

But they're taking care of you.

-Yeah, but Simone--
-OK, OK. Hey, hey...

Simone is dead. OK?

Yeah, because they k*lled her.

Or she did it herself.

[door opening]

[panting]

-[Patrick] Martin?
-We're leaving.

Come on.

What's your plan?
We can't run now, not with Fie.

Not in your condition, right?

-OK, what are you saying?
-What?

-You wanna stay here?
-Sure! Why not?

Because Apollon is full of psychos,
because Rasmus is here,

because Simone is waiting for us outside.

-[Patrick] Simone?
-Yeah.

Simone jumped off of a f*cking bridge.

So what?

So, it would be stupid
to go looking for her right now.

Hey, we shouldn't have let her
into that tunnel.

-That was a big mistake. She needs us.
-She's gone, dude!

[whispers] Shh! Shh! Stop! Shh!

[Sarah] How are you going to do it?

We'll scan every cell in her body,
to map her.

Tell me, exactly what state was she in
when she got the virus?

Well, she-- she was dead.

-What?
-[Rasmus] She d*ed.

[whispers] Fie!

-Fie!
-[Sarah] It's true. I'm a zombie.

[Rasmus chuckles]

-She was dead?
-Yeah.

[Fie] Sarah?

Hi.

[Sten] So, you know each other?

You left me.

[breath quivering]

I thought you were dead. You...

[Sarah] I was.

But I got better.

I-- I don't understand.

Neither do I, but, um,
this guy says he can figure it out.

Fie knows all about the virus.

Do you?

Yes, you do.
You're the great biologist, right?

So, you know
what state she was in before--

Yeah, yeah, I know.

You should come with us.

We're going that way.

No, Martin.

We can't f*cking keep running forever.

Fie.

-[Fie] I have to go with them.
-That's fine. We're staying.

-[Martin] Sarah?
-[sighs] Just take him away.

Rasmus, I need to talk to you!

Rasmus!

[birds chirping]

Who is she?

Why the hell did you bring her here?

Who are you?

-[Daniel] This is Simone.
-[man] I didn't ask you.

Are you one of them?

What? One of who?

No, she isn't.

-She's alone.
-What are you doing here?

I almost drowned.
I... was running away from my brother.

How did you find us?

[Daniel] I found her.

-[Simone] Uh...
-[Daniel] I pulled her out of the water.

Whatever's going on with you
and your brother is not our problem.

You can stay until you're fit to leave.
That's it.

But I don't know where to go.

That's not our problem.

Luna.

Luna! Luna, I know you're there!

Take her back.

You know where she can and can't go.
Make sure she stays there.

You're staying here, Daniel.

[tense pulsing music playing]

-What's got into you?
-I should have let her drown?

What if she exposes us?

-What if she finds out what we have--
-She won't.

-What if she does?
-But she won't.

She won't find out.

She's not family, Daniel.

OK!

[indistinct chatter]

[father] Are we ready?

OK, you lovebirds...

you have to tell us how you met.

-You don't need to answer.
-[chuckles]

We met at a high school dance.

I went outside to throw up

and Daniel was outside smoking,

and I asked him to walk me home.

But you don't smoke.

-[engine starts]
-[father laughing]

Did you know?

His clothes stink. Have you missed that?

I thought only your friends smoke.

And also, his dirty socks aren't exactly
stiff because of his sweaty feet.

[Daniel] Dad, stop.
-[mother laughs] No.

[all chuckling]

So, uh, welcome to the family. [chuckles]

Thanks.

[man over radio] There's a warning
of strong winds and heavy rain

over the whole country
in the upcoming hour.

[father] Ugh, of course it has to rain.

Luna, Daniel, we're here.

[chuckling]

[Luna chuckles]

OK, Luna, it's ready.

[thunder rumbling]

-Hello.
-Hey.

-[thunder rumbles]
-[rain pattering]

[people grunting, choking]

[woman whimpering]

[Daniel panting]

[Simone] Luna...

what is it you have here?

[Luna] Each other.

That's the most important.

I'll make sure you have what you need.

[chuckles] Thanks.

Why did you run from your brother?

Because...

Because I had to.

I would never leave my family.

Not even if they...

made you really, really unhappy?

Why would they do that?

Well, sometimes people fall out.

But not that badly?

I wanted to k*ll the virus...

but, um...

he doesn't think it can go away.

But it can.

-What do you mean?
-I will show you.

But you can't tell anyone.

You have to be quiet.

Where are we going?

-Just follow me.
-What?

[menacing tone plays]

[inhales deeply]

[sighs]

It's everywhere.

Yes, but... it never comes closer.

[unzips bag]

Hey, hey! Be careful.

[ethereal music playing]

[plants rustling]

-What?
-It's the flower.

Yeah, but how is it...

How is it possible?

[Daniel] Luna... where are you?

sh*t!

-Which flower?
-[Luna] We have to go back.

-[Daniel] Hey!
-Come on.

-[Daniel] Luna!
-[Simone chuckles]

Hey.

-[trills]
-[door opens]

[Martin] Let me go!

You hear me?

Rasmus...

-Rasmus, you have to let me go.
-Let you go?

-Yes.
-Where you gonna go?

-I have to find Simone.
-Simone is dead.

-No, she's not--
-Simone chose to die!

She wouldn't believe me,

but anyone can see, there's no other way.

Behind the wall, the virus is spreading.

It's taking over everything.

We have to live with it.
Why can't you just understand that?

Why can't you understand
that I just want to help you?

-Apollon's plan--
-Apollon's plan is what?

-Is-- Is it crazy?
-Yes.

Then, explain how Sarah can walk around
when we all saw what happened.

I want to save us all. That's what I want.

What do you want?

I had a tracker.

Simone gave it to me
so I could see where she was.

It's in my bag,
but I don't know where my things are.

[muffled clatter]

You mean this?

There's nothing on it.

You're lying.

Don't you lie to me.

[trills]

Here.

It would show if she was alive, right?

[whirring]

There's nothing.

[Sarah] Before you were ready to run,
and now you're standing here.

A bit opportunistic, isn't it?

[man] Please close your eyes.

[whirring]

Don't you wanna talk to me?

[sighs] Of course I wanna talk to you.

[whirring stops]

You're not saying much.

[sighs] I just don't know what to say.

-OK.
-Look, I'm in shock.

OK?

I thought you were dead.

I'm so happy that you're alive,
but I don't understand it.

It means Apollon was right all along.

We can all become like you.

So, that's it?

What is?

You want to be like me?

You shouldn't have left me then.

[Rasmus] You can't keep hating Fie.

Why not?

She didn't know she was leaving you.

Couldn't she tell
from the way her feet were pointing?

She's just like the rest.

What do you mean?

The rest...

Sten, Martin, Fie, Patrick, all of them.

They're not here
because they dreamt of it.

They're just afraid of dying.

And they only like you
because they think you can save them.

-I can save them.
-But is that what you want?

Why should we let them become like us?

Martin was gonna kick you out.
Everyone thought you were a mistake.

But, you didn't.

No. [scoffs]

-That's why I'm so nice!
-[chuckles]

[both chuckle]

Hey.

All the others just...

keep letting us down.

Why do we even care about them?

Because of the sick ones.

-What sick ones?
-Those who are here.

They're just like
who you and I were as children.

They're just waiting to be saved.

-They're here?
-Yes.

-Then-- Then, I wanna see them.
-[camera whirrs] [beeps]

[chuckles softly]

-What?
-Well, we can't.

Come on. Who exactly are you afraid of?

Come on.

-Maybe they're asleep.
-Then we'll wake them up.

[beeping]

Come on.

[beeping]

[door unlocks]

After you.

Where is everybody?

Sarah... wait.

What is it?

[Sarah gasps]

[somber music playing]

[female soprano singing]

[female voices harmonizing]

I'm sorry.

I just can't keep running.

[sighs]

[door opening]

[doctor] The subject is dying.
Dosing the virus.

What have you done?

-Rasmus.
-Every single one of them is dead!

-Everyone can't survive.
-[man screaming]

These people were already dying.

They were terminally ill
when they agreed to participate.

-We promised!
-I don't know what you promised.

I promised to find a solution.
I promised to save mankind.

It will cost lives,

but what is one life lost
compared to thousands saved?

-[man screaming]
-[doctor] Subject has total organ failure.

-Can't you see he's in pain?
-Rasmus, I think you should go back--

You don't tell me what to do!

[doctor] No sign of life.

[rumbling]

-[Sten] Prepare the next subject.
-No!

You can k*ll me, but if you do,
you will never figure out how this works -

how you can infect Sarah with the virus
without k*lling her.

Your choice.

Emilia!

What are you doing with the food?
What's happening? What are you doing?

-I can't do this.
-You can't?

Listen, we're all hungry.
We need to stick together.

We can't, OK? We're too many.

-We're not.
-Yes, we are, and you know it.

-We have to fight--
-[father] Hey!

-Give me the food.
-[Daniel] Dad...

-Dad, stop.
-[father] Hey.

-Stop. Take it easy.
-Give me the bag.

-Relax.
-Stop it, Daniel.

-Dad, stop. Hey, Dad!
-Give me the food. Go back in!

-Dad, take it easy!
-Go back in now!

[panting]

Dad!

Dad, stop!

Stop! Hey, Dad, stop!

Hey!

Stop! Dad, stop!

[Emilia panting]

-[crashing]
-[Emilia screams]

[panting]

[slow piano music playing]

[music drowns out dialogue]

[Fie sighs] Can I have a glass of water?
I'm really thirsty.

Patrick...

-Patrick!
-[Patrick] What?

[laughs] Sorry,
I didn't know you were asleep.

[dazed] Uh.. was I?

You haven't slept at all?

No, I'm working.

What for? It's not like
anyone's gonna pay you for it.

-Please, just get me a glass of water.
-[yawning] Sure.

I think I dreamt I was in a boxing match.

I don't know if I won or lost
but my head is all f*cked up now.

[water trickling]

-Patrick...
-Yeah?

-The water's spilling.
-Hmm?

sh*t. sh*t. Sorry.

[water continues trickling]

No, wait.

Let it run.

It's running over
because there was water in it already.

Yeah?

The glass has to be empty!

Wh-- What do you mean?

The glass has to be empty,
or it overflows. Don't you see?

-Well, sure.
-[laughs] You're fantastic!

-I'm fantastic?
-Yeah! That's how Sarah survived!

Sarah had no immune system,
so the virus didn't meet any resistance.

It could just move in
and make itself part of her.

Kind of like...
finding an empty parking space.

Yeah, so I think
Apollon can start working on it.

-[camera whirrs] [beeps]
-[whispers] Not Apollon.

They don't get to decide who lives,

we do.

[whispers] OK.

And who...

Who do you think should be the first?

I should have saved her.

I should have, but I couldn't.

It was her choice.

I wasn't strong enough.

No... but you can be.

[Martin sighs]

I'm in.

That's good.

[camera beeps] [whirrs]

-Simone! What are you doing here?

Daniel...

The flower, wh-- wh-- what is it?

Listen, you can't be here.

-Don't go any closer.
-It kills the virus.

-I can stop my brother--
-You're not stopping anything.

-You can't be here! Come on!
-[father] It's too late!

-[Daniel] Dad, no!
-[father] Don't touch the flower!

You never should have interfered.

Out!

Get out!

My brother has the virus... inside him.

[Daniel] Is that possible?

It is for him,
and he wants to give it to everyone else.

[Daniel] Why would he do that?

So they can become like him,
so that-- that he's not alone.

Look, on the other side of the wall
the virus is turning everything black.

The world is about to be destroyed.

I saw the flower.

If you have something
that can k*ll the virus...

-Then you can stop your brother.
-Then we can save everything.

You've created a place
that looks like home,

that looks like Denmark, but... [sighs]

Don't you wanna go home for real?

[Luna] I... I wanna go home.

She can't stay.

-You can't just send her--
-[father] No discussion.

They're your problems...

not ours.

They are!

-What if he starts infecting others?
-Not my business.

-Dad...
-You're coming with me.

What the...?

-Daniel!
-Sorry.

Sorry? You can't just ignore this!

You can't pretend
like nothing's happening!

You can cure the whole world!

Let me go!

Daniel, help me!

Help!

Daniel, help!

[groaning]

[panting]

-[sobbing]
-I can't risk our secret getting out.

Do you understand?

I have to protect my family.

I'm really sorry.
