[Yuri gasping]
I'm so glad
you're finally awake.
I adore you, Yuri.
[YURI] Who is this?
[SHIGEMICHI] Can you
believe this?
They're saying there's supposed
to be an alien on the ship.
Crazy!
Oh. You don't say.
Well, a Gnosia infectee,
to be more accurate.
Yeah, well, tomato, tomato.
Hey, Yuri, was it?
Pleasure. Shigemichi.
Um, hey.
What's going on?
I've never seen
either of these people before.
Forgive my asking,
but do you remember me yet?
No. Sorry.
I'm Stella.
And
I love you.
Uh, Setsu, the meeting?
Yeah. Shall we?
The others are waiting.
[opening theme song playing]
EPISODE 3: NEW CREW MEMBERS
This should be everybody.
[YURI] Seven of us.
That's new.
I get now that
looping the same time frame
won't always guarantee me
the same conditions, but
And I'm sorry to tell you,
it will be a very long journey
to escape this place.
[YURI] Guess they weren't
exaggerating.
All right.
The fact of the matter is,
the base conditions change
every time I start over.
New crew,
and a new guilty party.
But the goal remains the same.
Find and eliminate the Gnosia,
or else I'll never
escape the loop.
Breathe.
So what if there are
new people involved?
This is my third time
through this whole process.
I'll figure something out.
I heard there are
two Gnosia here.
- Is that true?
- [LEVI] Yes.
Out of the seven biological
signatures on board,
I detect two Gnosia.
- Two?!
- Mm? Hey.
Say something else, okay.
Your voice, I wanna hear it.
[gasps]
So there are two this time?
[RACIO] True, yes.
But don't despair.
Because we can already
say with certainty
that one of them
is obviously faking amnesia.
[YURI] Of course
they'd come after me again.
That would be
a little too obvious,
don't you think? [gasps]
Okay, it's true that
I've lost my memories.
But a lot of the blanks
have been filled in,
thanks to the instant learning
system in the medbay.
Happy now?
My! The kitten has claws.
And I'm sure you feel like
you've gotten one over on me.
But no matter.
Changing your story
at the slightest pushback
- only makes you look worse.
- Ah.
- [STELLA] To whom?
- [BOTH] Eh?
I think your case
for suspecting Yuri
is still a bit lacking.
Are you perhaps
attempting to divert suspicion
away from yourself?
[Racio laughs] You're welcome
to think that, of course.
Though,
that won't change the facts.
[YURI] Racio,
will you lighten up for once?
They may be
the smartest one in the room,
but they're always so abrasive
that it makes people think
they're trying
to lead the meeting
in the direction they want.
If I don't change something,
and fast,
Racio will be voted out again.
Go ahead. Speak.
Well,
I hate being doubted for
something I can't control.
And yet, I want to say
that I fully believe that
Racio's attempts to solve
this mystery are genuine.
Whoo! Really?
So even though they're being
a real butthead right now,
you don't think Racio's
a Gnosia?
Right.
Cozying up to me won't
save you from cold sleep,
you little brown-noser.
Just give it up already.
[YURI] Seriously?
[RACIO] Any further discussion
is futile.
The way forward is clear.
The one we're voting
into cold sleep is obviously
Foolish!
[stammering] Utterly foolish.
Though I suppose this is
the fate of an excellent ruler,
to be deposed and ex*cuted
by the uneducated masses.
[Yuri] Once again,
I've changed nothing.
[Racio chuckles] You're like
a bunch of lemmings.
Beyond all hope of salvation.
You'll get
what's coming to you.
Nighty-night.
Don't let the space bugs bite.
[RACIO] Hold on, wait!
Red.
What did you expect?
There's still at least
one Gnosia on board,
so it won't change yet.
Wait. So what you're saying is,
after all that,
we still have no way to tell
if Racio was a Gnosia or not?
Correctamundo, Captain.
And even if they were,
another one remains.
And if Racio
was actually human,
then there are still
two Gnosia left.
So the light was always
going to be red this time.
You see, we'll have to vote out
at least one other person
to know if we were right,
but the odds of being right
twice in a row
[YURI] Makes sense.
With two of these things
in hiding,
it becomes that much harder
to work all this out.
Setsu.
For all you know,
I could be a Gnosia myself
right now.
[YURI] Actually, never mind.
I can't forget
there's a possibility
that Setsu is a Gnosia
this time.
I'll have to
figure this out myself.
[gasps]
- [whimsical music]
- What the
Oh! Hey, Yuri!
What's this?
It's a hologram.
Gotta have the right
environment for this meal,
or it just don't feel the same.
[JINA] And here you are.
[Shigemichi squeals]
This is the first time
I've ever had ramen
made by a real Earthling!
You should come try
some of this.
[YURI] Uh, okay.
[gobbling]
Ah! Ooh!
Who's a guy gotta talk to
about the AC in here, huh?
You could always
take off your costume.
Uh, costume?
This ain't a costume.
This right here
is primo artificial skin.
I was in an accident.
But living like this
is just fine with me.
Now, seriously, try that.
[gasps]
[SHIGEMICHI] Mm.
Hmm.
Sodium's at a 3.5.
Take it easy.
That broth is salty.
Sure. Thanks for that.
[slurps]
That is salty.
Finished?
There's more.
[Yuri sighs]
What did I do to deserve this?
Less talking, more walking!
If you can't hold your liquor,
then you shouldn't drink
in the first place.
Where's your room?
I don't wanna go home.
I wanna visit Stella.
Huh?
Man, she's totally
head over heels for you.
Have you noticed that?
Wish I'd been the one
to save her.
What does that mean?
You just swooped in
all heroic-like
to help her during
our escape from Liu-An.
[YURI] No wonder.
[inaudible]
Can't believe I gotta
compete with you now!
[Yuri struggling]
Hey, stop it! You're choking me.
[grunting]
[SHIGEMICHI] Oh, we're here.
[ethereal music]
Oh!
[spraying]
[Yuri grunts]
Yuri!
[YURI] Wow, this is amazing.
How flattering.
Welcome to my private
little garden.
What marvelous flowers, milady.
I appreciate it.
I've been working on
these little ones
for quite some time.
They look great.
I genetically altered the seeds
to make them more tolerant
of the hydroponic system.
I'd love for you
to come see them in full bloom.
Um, sure thing.
You bet we'll be back.
[STELLA] Really? You promise?
Please, Yuri.
It would make me so happy.
I saved her.
I adore you, Yuri.
[LEVI] Initiating
warp countdown.
Ten, nine, eight
[YURI] Weirdest thing
about having no memories
is not having a past
to experience.
[Yuri screaming]
[LEVI] Unable to detect
Setsu's presence.
Setsu!
I mean, you can't be
that surprised
that someone else
disappeared, buddy.
We already know there's
at least one Gnosia left.
[YURI] Right, and Gnosia
will never attack their own.
So that at least confirms
that Setsu is human.
You have to hope we're
dealing with this right now,
instead of this.
If we're down
two humans already,
and we send another
into cold sleep today,
then the Gnosia
will overpower us immediately.
They'll win.
What should I do?
[LEVI] Are you prepared
to begin the meeting?
I wish we didn't have to be,
but yeah.
[STELLA] All right.
Who would like to begin?
I can start.
I think we should lay out
everything we know for sure.
First off,
there are five of us left.
Setsu was human.
We don't know what Racio was.
And then?
And, uh, that was all I had.
[YURI] All right,
you need a strategy.
You've seen
a couple of Gnosia now.
Was there ever
any kind of clue or
[gasps]
That was just
a gut feeling, but
it was right.
Um, can I say something?
Please, go ahead.
So, this is probably going to
sound like a weird request.
[gulps]
But just to say we tried it.
Will you
say you're human, for me?
Yeah, I'm human as heck!
Ditto!
SQ is human.
[STELLA] I don't see this
being particularly useful.
The Gnosia are compelled to lie
about their status, after all.
True, but they also retain
their original personality.
So if they do lie,
we might be able to tell.
In that case,
yes, I swear.
[YURI] Jina?
After you.
Yeah, I'm human. What about you?
Yes.
Me too.
[gasps]
Whoa!
What's with that look?
I wanted you
to be my special bean.
Don't flip-flop from me to Jina.
No girl likes a two-timer, Yuri.
Jina
just lied to us.
She's not human.
[JINA] Well
[SHIGEMICHI] Hey, wait a sec.
You can't just say stuff
like that with no evidence.
Forgive me for saying so,
but it does seem unfair
to snap to judgment like that.
But
That's right.
It barely matters
if I know the truth.
It's worthless
if I can't convince the others.
But you know what?
If we're judging,
that Stella gal
is acting pretty sketchy.
Who, me?
That is a shame.
[YURI] Crap!
[LEVI] Your time is up.
Not yet!
- [thuds]
- [gasps]
It's Jina!
We all have to vote for Jina.
Please, you have to believe me.
It's the truth.
Jina is absolutely a Gnosia.
[beeps]
[LEVI] Voting has ended
with five valid votes.
[YURI] Please, please.
[gasps]
[hisses]
[eerie music]
Lovely.
How grateful I am
that it's you and me, Yuri.
- Here at the end.
- [gasps]
Would you like some tea?
I'll put on
a fresh kettle for you.
[chuckling maniacally]
Come now, Yuri.
We should share a cup.
[eerie voice]
It's simply to die for!
[gasps]
[gasps]
[panting]
Huh?
What the heck?
ENGINEER CREDENTIALS
[YURI] "Engineer credentials."
What does that even mean?
Okay, for the record, I guess.
You're saying we got
two Gnosia and one engineer?
[LEVI] Yes, that is correct.
So, we obviously know the Gnosia
aren't gonna out themselves.
But who's the engineer on duty?
Sorry.
What does
an engineer do exactly?
Ah, I'm not surprised
your memories
are still in disarray.
Engineer credentials
grant you access
to the research equipment
and to LeVi's full database.
The engineer can choose
one person before each warp
to have their
dimensional waves analyzed,
and determine if that person
is human or Gnosia
with 100% accuracy.
[YURI] Whoa. I can pick out
Gnosia during every warp?
Now we just gotta figure out
who it is.
I'm gonna say it's you.
[RACIO] That's not possible.
And why is that, you ask?
Because I'm the engineer!
[GASPS]
Sixteen hours, and I'll find out
who the Gnosia is.
I only need to decide
who to look into first.
So how about
you?
You're clearly
the most suspicious.
[YURI] No, wait.
Oh. Looks like something's
about to go down in here.
The real engineer
is me.
[RACIO] Oh, a bold strategy.
But you're a horrible liar.
Not convincing in the slightest.
You may as well
have just come out
and said you're a Gnosia.
[YURI] Right on cue.
Only one person
can have engineer credentials,
so either Racio or I
must be lying.
And they're implying
that claiming it first
is somehow more credible.
[scoffs] I could
say the same thing
about you now, couldn't I?
What? Are you implying
I'm a liar, Shigemichi?
I wish LeVi could confirm
which one of you it is.
[LEVI] Unfortunately,
I can only determine
the number
of credentials issued.
What do you think, Jina?
I am of no help.
I don't know either of them,
so it's hard to say.
I'm afraid I feel the same.
I don't know Racio well.
And that was the first
I've heard Yuri speak.
[YURI] Huh.
I guess she doesn't have
feelings for me in this loop.
Well, what do you think?
You talking to me?
I think we're cool.
I don't care what anyone says.
You're the real engineer
to me, buddy.
I appreciate it.
Sure thing. And my gut
is never wrong, you know.
Will you stop dawdling?
Honestly, we've determined
that either Yuri or I is lying.
Is that correct?
To find the truth,
you need only
bombard us with questions
until the fake cracks
under the pressure.
[YURI] Yes. Keep it up.
When people don't know
who to suspect,
they generally
become wary of anyone
who tries to take control
of the situation,
especially if that someone
is usually quiet
or perhaps unsympathetic.
Or, like Rocio, too smart
for their own good.
Bombarding you with questions
doesn't sound fun.
Here's an idea.
Old-fashioned
Rock Paper Scissors.
Mm.
That's definitely an option.
Leave it in God's hands
and all that, right?
- Well
- I don't like that.
Please, let's not.
[LEVI] Your time is up.
We will now begin
the voting process.
[YURI] It's down
to either me or Racio.
No question about it. But
considering how
all the other loops
have gone up to this point,
I have a pretty good chance.
[LEVI]will of the crew,
and you will abide by it.
Do you accept?
[YURI] I just have to believe.
[LEVI] You may now
cast your votes.
Who is the Gnosia?
Voting has ended
with seven valid votes,
100% of all eligible crew.
The votes will now be tallied.
It has been decided.
The next enter cold sleep
is Racio.
[gasps]
[triumphant grunt]
[YURI] So I can only investigate
one person per day?
[LEVI] Affirmative. Running
the full anti-Gnosia protocol
has introduced some strain
on my systems,
so results
will not be instantaneous,
but they will always be
provided to you after the warp.
So investigating the whole crew
would take about a week.
And even worse,
it doesn't take
any great leap of logic
to see that the real engineer
will be a priority target
for the Gnosia,
whether that's
by elimination or discredit.
[LEVI] What an odd implement.
Isn't it?
It's graphite mixed with
some sort of clay.
It was just lying
in the cafeteria unclaimed.
Apparently,
it's known as a pencil.
I can't waste this opportunity.
I need to choose
someone suspicious
and then determine
if they're Gnosia,
and convince everyone else
before I get taken out.
As long as I know
I'm the real engineer,
I also know that Racio
was obviously lying,
which means that Racio
is confirmed to be a Gnosia.
So it follows that whoever
was supporting Racio today
is likely a Gnosia.
And that leaves five suspects.
Think!
Surely I have
enough information
to form some kind of lead.
[gasps]
LeVi!
[LEVI] How may I
be of assistance?
[YURI] Our meetings
get recorded, right?
You know who it is?
You're positive?
[SHIGEMICHI] Whoa! No way.
I am.
You see, as the engineer,
I chose to investigate
- You, Shigemichi.
- Huh?
The result was Gnosia.
[gasps]
Oh, how could you?
Whoa! Hold your horses!
Now, granted,
I definitely can't not admit
that maybe that's possible,
but Yuri could also be totally
lying about being the engineer.
What if Racio
was the real one, huh?
Dude's got a point.
[YURI] Don't panic.
Don't get worked up.
Stay calm and trust that you'll
get through to everyone.
[sighs]
It's true that I can't prove
that I'm the real engineer
or that Racio was lying.
But we can set that
aside for now,
because you gave me
everything I need
to prove that you lied.
Did he?
I took a look
at yesterday's voting results.
And Shigemichi,
you voted for me.
In fact, even though
you and Racio argued
and you publicly backed me up,
I couldn't help but notice
you both voted for me.
What I think is you planned this
together as Gnosia.
Racio would claim
to be the engineer
with the goal
of discrediting the real one,
which is why they immediately
tried to cast doubt on me.
But they pushed too hard,
so they wound up getting dropped
into cold storage instead.
Mm-mm.
That actually makes
like a lot of sense.
Well, be that as it may,
if any of that were true,
then it would have made
way more sense
for me to eliminate Yuri
during the warp,
don't you think?
Why would I
leave the real engineer alive
if I thought
they would investigate me?
Well, that's why you hesitated.
Tell me,
did you check the voting log
last night as well?
Because yesterday,
Jina voted for you.
She was onto you,
and it scared you.
So you chose her to eliminate.
You took a reasonable gamble
that I wouldn't look into you,
but you bet wrong.
[nervous whimpering]
That's all I have to say.
Talk about whatever you want,
but know
when the time comes,
I'm voting for you.
Okay. Sounds like no one
has anything else to add,
so I say we just get to it.
[hissing]
[YURI] Shigemichi and Racio.
Those two have to
have been the Gnosia.
Please,
please,
please.
Come on!
[LEVI] The Gnosia presence
has been eliminated.
[gasps]
How marvelous.
It appears we've won.
Then guess what time it is!
Party time!
- [laughing]
- [YURI] We did it.
- Yahoo!
- [YURI] We did it!
We did it!
Well done.
We finally did it! Now we
[eerie music]
[gasps]
[panting]
No. I came back?
But we eliminated
all of the Gnosia!
I shouldn't be back.
We survived!
Why?
Why am I still here?
- [lift stops]
- [gasps]
[grunts]
[gasping]
Go and be frozen, Yuri.
At once.
