03x03 - Stay Strong

[bunniefuu]

[fire crackling]

We won't find her.

Simone is gone.

This is pointless.

[Kira sighs] Eat.

-[Jean] I'm not hungry.
-[Kira sighs] You have to eat.

What for?

Because, otherwise, you're an idiot.

What does it matter
if I'm an idiot, if I eat or...

Why does it matter?

It matters that you're alive.

[sighs]

Listen, Jean, I get that you're tired
and that you feel that you can't go on.

Believe me,
I know what it's like to grieve.

We can still get back
what they took from us.

Apollon?

Sten.

[indistinct rustling]

Shh.

-[Daniel] Hey! Hey!
-[Kira] Stop!

-Don't sh**t! Don't sh**t! Stop!
-[Jean pants]

Who are you?

[panting] You have to help me.
He's gonna k*ll her!

Who?

[Simone panting]

[breathless] Hey...

You have to help me. Help me!

-Get lost!
-[gasps]

[boy growls]

Do I need to spell it out?

-[boy growls]
-Get out of here! Get out!

Go!

Now!

[Simone gasps]

Nowhere to run.

[Kira] Stop!

Drop the Kn*fe, Dad.

Daniel.

Drop the Kn*fe!

[Simone gasps] [grunts]

[Kira] What the hell are you doing?

-[Jean] Simone?
-[Simone panting]

[theme music playing]

[thunder rumbling]

-[Simone] We have to go to their camp.
-Why don't we leave?

-What the f*ck are we doing with them?
-They have something we need.

What?

Something that can stop Rasmus.
That can stop Apollon.

You have some on you, right?

Well?

-Give it to me!
-Don't--

Hey! Shut up!

[father] Don't let them see it!

-Daniel!
-[Daniel] It's this way.

[father] They're watching us.
-Up.

[tense music playing]

This is Olivia.
She's dying from cancer. Right?

Stage four. It's a matter of weeks.

[Sten] She won't survive.

[doctor] Not unless a miracle happens.

[Sten] Did you hear that, Rasmus?

We're gonna perform a miracle.
We'll give the virus to Olivia.

Yeah, but it's still just a theory.

We don't know how it works.
We need to do more testing.

Yeah, and that's
what we're doing on Olivia.

[Fie] And it could k*ll her.

-[Olivia] I'm already dead.
-[Sten sighs]

If it doesn't work,
then... I'm dead anyway.

[machine beeping]

[Olivia] I'm not afraid.

We'll save lives, Rasmus.

And if it does work on Olivia,
wh-- what will be the next step?

Then we continue... with me.

It'll be my turn to get the virus.

[tense pulsing music playing]

[machine continues beeping]

[Rasmus exhales]

[Simone chuckling]

So, who are you trying to impress?

No one.

Forget it.

Oh, come on. Tell me.

[sighs]

[Rasmus] I was just thinking.

[Simone] About what?

Do I look like Dad?

Yeah, a little.

How?

You have the same smile.

Did he ever smile?

But, I'm stronger than him.

It doesn't matter who you look like.

What matters is who you are.

So, who am I?

You're my little brother.

And you always will be.

[echoing] And I'll love you
no matter what happens.

[machine continues beeping]

[Rasmus sighs]

[Simone] We can't get through.

How much should I use? One-- one drop?

-Yeah.
-We can't do it here. Not now.

-We don't know if they can see us.
-How do we get through then?

There's-- there's no one here.

What the hell?

It's from a flower...

that they have.

A flower?

A flower.

It kills the virus.

OK... so, what works is...

nectar from a flower?

Yeah, it's nature, Jean.

-I don't make the rules.
-No, but that's what you're saying.

Right?

-See for yourself.
-But...

Cool, I guess.

[Kira]
Wait, are you gonna use it on Rasmus?

-[Simone] Well, I...
-Have you tried it on people?

No.

-How do you know it works on Rasmus?
-[Simone] I don't understand it either.

-I've never seen anything like it.
-No, but--

But if it works on the virus,
it may work on him as well.

Rasmus is the virus.

[sighs]

[Rasmus]
Sten wants me to give him the virus.

[Sarah] Really?

[Rasmus] I want it to be Martin instead.

Why Martin?

[Rasmus] I trust him.

What for?

I know him.

What does Sten say?

You haven't told him?

[scoffs]

-You're afraid of him.
-No, I'm not afraid of him.

Yes, you are.

He can't hurt you.

If you want something, tell him.

And if Martin should be first...

then he will.

And what if he won't accept that?

Then you k*ll him.

You're in charge.

You and me. [chuckles]

Why are you doing it?

What else can I do?

What did he thr*aten you with?

He didn't thr*aten me.

I'm doing this of my own free will.

Is it because of Simone?

You said it yourself...

she's dead.

So, you're just giving up?

["Empty Note" by Ghostly Kisses playing]

[Martin] Yeah... I give up.

♪ How could I ever know you ♪

♪ When everything lies in disguise? ♪

♪ How could I ever forget? ♪

[Jean] She always makes it.

Have you thought about that?

She's like a cork.

She always comes back.

[Kira scoffs]

What about us?

That's a boomerang.

A what?

A boomerang. It's a boomerang
that always comes back, not a cork.

A cork just floats.

Whatever she is, we're not.

[scoffs]

We don't come back.

We die.

Everyone dies... except for her.

Stop feeling so sorry for yourself.

-What do you mean?
-Stop feeling sorry for yourself.

You do it all the time. Enough.

I don't feel sorry for myself.

You think the whole world is against you,

that it's-- that it's unfair,
that you're the only one affected.

-Right?
-Yeah.

OK.

How big is your ego to think like that?

So many people have d*ed,
but it's you we should feel sorry for?

I'm sorry.

I don't know what to do.

Stop feeling sorry for yourself.

Come.

Move it!

[scoffs]

[Patrick] Do we throw it out?

'Cause it kinda feels like as long
as we have this, Simone is still alive.

Yeah, but she isn't.

[inhales deeply]

[sighs] Destroy it.

-You sure?
-[Martin] Yeah.

Do it.

OK.

[door trills]

You're coming with us.

Move.

Already?

Yeah, it's OK.

-[indistinct chatter]
-Is he going to the lab?

Will Rasmus be there?

Hey! What the hell is going on?

-[female guard] You're going in there.
-[suspenseful music playing]

[Patrick] What are they doing?

Now, we're locked up again.

[door opening]

-I need to talk to you.
-[Sten] Rasmus!

I've been expecting you.

Sit down. Let's talk.

Sit.

I understand your frustration, Rasmus.

I felt the same.

I wanted to make the world...

a better place...

so I created the rain.

I wanted to save the world...

and I wanted all the people
who saw me to say,

"Look at him.

There he is...

the man who saved us all."

But that didn't work out.

I created death...

instead of life.

But...

I also created you.

That was my dad.

No, no, no,
your father was just a small part of it.

You're entirely my creation.

And now, I finally understand
what you are...

and why...

you are here.

All progress achieved by man
is based on one thing -

our fear of dying,

our fear of disappearing into the void
from which we once came.

You are entirely a product
of my fear of being forgotten.

You too are afraid
of being left alone and forgotten,

and yet, you come to me today

to tell me that you want the world
to forget about me.

It'll be Martin.

You don't wanna give it to me.

No.

It must be Martin.

We've always known
that the virus has no natural enemies,

that nothing can stop it.

But we also know that it reacts stronger
to some elements than others.

One of those elements is fire.

The bond between you and Sarah...

[Sarah screams]

...is unique.

Don't you hurt her.

-[Sarah screams]
-What she feels, you feel, too.

-[Sarah shrieking]
-[Rasmus groans]

And if you choose not to do this with me,

I have to keep you on a short leash.

-[Sarah screams]
-[Rasmus] Stop!

[groaning]

-[sobs]
-You're not in charge here.

-[Sarah screaming]
-[Rasmus groaning]

I created you.

You are completely mine.

[birds chirping]

[footsteps approaching]

[Daniel] Here it is.

Dad! Daniel!

What's going on?

Luna, stop, stop. Go back to Mom.

No, she stays here.

Can we stay together? She's just a child.

You'll stay in the RV.
We'll keep an eye on you.

Come on.

Start walking.

[Sten] Sarah is fine.

Nothing will happen to her
as long as you do as I say.

What's the status?

[doctor] We're suppressing
Olivia's immune system to absolute zero.

I'll prepare a syringe
and we'll extract it from you.

-So, we need to prep you and--
-[Sten] No, he will do it.

Rasmus will give her the virus.

[Fie] But, then we can't control it.

[Sten] It is not about controlling it.
It is about what worked the first time.

That's how Sarah got it.

He will give Olivia the virus.

[Simone] Look, we have no intention
of taking the flower.

We'll only take what we need.

How do you extract the liquid?

-Well, you take--
-Don't tell her anything.

They followed us.

-If they come here, they'll k*ll us.
-Who will?

Could they have followed us?

-But who? Who are you talking about?
-He's just bullshitting us.

Show us how you do it.

I need the liquid for my brother.

Daniel?

-Come.
-No, Daniel.

Daniel.

Join the others.

[father] They're going over there.

[mother] So, what's the plan?

If we resist, you sh**t us?

Something like that.

You don't look like you can sh**t anyone.

Well, I can.

Have you ever done it?

[Jean] Yeah.

But why?

I-- I don't wanna talk about it.

[door opens]

It's gonna be OK.

[doctor] Her immune system is neutralized.

She's dying.

Give her the virus.

Do it.

I don't want to.

Oh, yes,

you do want to.

No.

I won't k*ll anymore.

[Sarah screaming]

[Rasmus groaning]

[screaming continues]

[groans] Stop!

-[Sarah screaming]
-Rasmus...

I'm not doing this to hurt you.

I'm doing it because it's the right thing

for Olivia,

for all of us.

[Rasmus breathing heavily]

Do it.

[grunts] [panting]

[sighs]

[doctor] Now what?

Now, we wait.

[water dripping]

[Kira] It is...

Beautiful.

And dangerous.

[Kira] Dangerous how?

It doesn't like being touched.

It resists.

[scoffs]

It's a flower. How dangerous can it be?

It can k*ll you.

It can k*ll us all.

It has a defense system.

Stay back.

I need to be really careful.

I can't touch the pistil or the petals.

[softly] OK.

[breath trembling]

[whispers] There.

[gasps]

sh*t!

-[Simone] What?
-I think-- I think I touched it.

I saw it reacting.

Wait...

I think it's OK.

I'll try again.

Here we go. [sighs]

She's gone.

We'll try again tomorrow,

with another subject.

No, we won't.

[Sten] It could have been worse.

It could have been your friend Martin.

-Fie, why doesn't it work?
-[Fie] I don't know.

Maybe the dosage was too high, or...

Hang on.

[gasps] Rasmus...

look.

[chuckles softly] Hi.

[groans softly]

What's happening?

Rasmus?

[chuckling]

[Sten] And now, you will give it to me.

Now, it's your turn to give back
what I once gave to you.

[Fie] Rasmus?

Hey...

What's going on?

Rasmus?

-[Sten] Is he OK?
-Hey! Rasmus? Hey, hey!

-[groans] I need to get out.
-He can't lose control. Get him out.

-[Rasmus groans]
-[Sten] Out!

[Rasmus panting]

[door opening]

[doctor] You have to wait.
You must calm down.

-[panting]
-[doctor] Take it easy, OK? Just relax.

Where's Martin?

-Tell me now or I'll k*ll you.
-But it...

[panting]

Do you need any help?

[Daniel] No, no, no, stay there.

[Simone] Come on.

-How many vials do you have now?
-I have four now.

-OK, just one more.
-But, Simone, I can't do any more--

We need more vials, OK?

One more and we'll leave.

OK.

One last vial.

OK.

f*ck.

Get out! Out!

Out! Get out! Run!

Get out, damn it! Run!

Out! Run!

[projectiles darting]

[rapid f*ring]

[distant animal call]

[distant animal call]

Where are you going?

[distant animal call]

[Jean] Come back.

Hey.

What's happening?

[father] They're out there.
I can hear them.

[louder animal call]

[animal call]

-Dad?
-[whispers] No, Luna.

[animal call]

-[loud swoosh]
-[clang]

-[gasps]
-[father] sh**t!

-[Jean] I-- I can't see them.
-[metal clangs]

[father] sh**t now!

-[Jean] Where-- Where are they?
-[arrows whistling]

-[father groans]
-[metal clanging]

-[father, faintly] sh**t!
-[metal clangs]

-Hey! Are you, OK?
-[Kira] Yeah.

-[Simone] How many did we get?
-[Daniel] Four, I think.

-Should be enough.
-[Kira] Yeah.

-[Simone] Can I see?
-Yeah.

-[rapid g*nf*re]
-[Simone gasps]

[g*nf*re continues]

[panting]

-[Daniel] Dad?
-[father groans]

Mom?

-[father panting]
-[Daniel] Dad? What happened?

Luna? Mom?

[father groans]

-What happened?
-They found us.

-Jean?
-[Jean] Yeah.

-Was that you sh**ting?
-Yes.

[father] They found us!

-OK.
-[Jean] But they're hiding.

Can you help him with the arrow?
You have to get out of here.

-Yeah, we have to get back to the house.
-Wh-- wh-- what do I do?

Just pull out the arrow carefully.

-[groans]
-[Daniel] Let's go to the house.

-[Jean] Yes.
-We'll be safe there.

Luna?

-Dad?
-[father] Yeah.

OK.

Hurry back. I'll check the area.

[father groaning]

[muffled yelling]

[Patrick] What did you say?

[Martin] Nothing.

-[loud bang]
-[Patrick] What was that?

[muffled groaning]

[loud thud]

[muffled groaning]

[door trills]

[Rasmus panting]

-What's going on?
-They took Sarah. You gotta find her.

They're torturing her.

-What can we do?
-Just hurry up, OK?

-Where the f*ck is she?
-[Rasmus] I don't know. Find her. Come on.

[blows air through lips]

-Here.
-Thanks.

You're welcome.

Ready?

Yeah.

[Sten] We have to give
the right amount of virus.

Feeling better?

Yes.

We'll get started in a minute.

Yeah, I'm ready.

[footsteps rustling]

-[person screams]
-[Kira exhales sharply]

[sobbing, groaning]

[Kira gasps]

[whimpers]

[Kira panting]

-OK.
-[inhales sharply]

No, wait, wait, wait.

-OK, OK, we'll wait. We'll wait.
-[groans]

-Daniel?
-[Daniel] Yeah.

[father yelps] [groans]

-[Simone] Close the wound.
-[Daniel] Here.

-[father gasping]
-Stop the bleeding.

[Daniel] Yeah.

[Simone] Press harder.

-We need to clean the wound.
-[Daniel] OK.

-Stay with me! Yeah?
-[groaning] Yeah, yeah...

Simone... They're just kids.

-Where are they?
-[Kira] They're gone.

[breath trembling] They'll be back!

Hey, just be quiet.

-You should have k*lled them.
-[Kira] They're just kids!

-They'll be back!
-[Daniel] Shh! Hey! Hey!

-Shh!
-[father] You should have k*lled them.

-[Daniel] Shh...
-[father sighs]

[breathing heavily]

[whispers] They were just kids.

[Sten] We're almost ready.

As soon as I'm neutralized, we can start.

-How long?
-[sighs]

It says one more hour.

You only need one hour...

to destroy the physique
that we spend a whole lifetime...

building.

[chuckles] It's almost a bit like Jesus.

To be resurrected, we have to die first.

Rasmus...

come.

No matter...

what you think right now...

I will always love you...

as if you were my own son.

[Rasmus] I don't think you love me.

Rasmus.

I think you love the idea of me,

the idea of what you can become,

what we can become...

and that you want to live forever.

-Rasmus, listen to me--
-I don't think you should live forever.

[dramatic music playing]

[breathless] What?

What have you done?

[breathing heavily] Oh...

Come on. Easy now.

There's nothing you can do.

Just lie down.

[machine beeps]

What do you want?

-[machine beeping]
-[Sten sighs]

To give you what you want.

-You'll get it your way.
-But, I'm not ready.

It's too soon. [gasps]

You can't. [groaning] I love you.

-You're my life's work, you're my son--
-Stop, stop!

[labored breathing]

[machine beeping]

Relax.

Don't be afraid.

[flatlining signal sounding]

[signal ends]

[sighs]

It's over.

It's only just begun.

There you are.

[Luna] Mm.

-Can I get in?
-Mm.

What's wrong?

Are you sad?

A bit, maybe.

Did you lose someone?

Yeah.

Don't be sad.

It'll pass.

How do you know that?

I've lost someone I love, too.

Dodo, my dog.

It d*ed just before the rain.

Were you dating?

You can't date a dog.

Yeah, sure you can.

It's against the law, but, uh...

no one follows the rules anyway.

Right?

You look much nicer when you smile.

It feels nicer, too.

Then, maybe you should keep doing it.

OK.

[Kira] So, we're sleeping here tonight.

-You don't think it's a good idea.
-[Kira] No, it's just...

Why pause everything just to protect them?

They're a family.

Then, the two of us better get out there
and secure the area.

And we'll leave tomorrow.

Yeah.

Unless you have any objections.

Hi.

Got a minute?

Well, yeah.

Yeah, OK. OK, I'm going.

-[Simone] I'll be right with you.
-[Kira] Yeah. [sighs]

What's up?

Here.

It got soaked, but, uh...

it's working.

Maybe you want someone else to find you.

I hope you find who you're looking for.

But, um... [chuckles]

[tracker beeps]

[Martin] Is he dead?

[Rasmus] Yes.

[relieved sigh]

[Martin] And now, I'm getting the virus.

[Fie sighs]

[scoffs] Does it have to be now?

Well, why not?

Because we should monitor Olivia
to see how her body reacts first.

[Rasmus] Olivia is fine.

[Fie] But, we don't know what'll happen.

[Rasmus] What could happen?

[sighs] Why are you in such a hurry?

Martin?

I'm ready.

You think they know where I am?

If they are alive.

You're such an optimist.

[Kira] I'm a realist.

As you should be.

[Luna] Can I come with you?

Hi.

I don't think you should be here.

-It's fine if she stays with us.
-[Simone] Her dad would lose it.

-Luna, you'd better go back.
-But I wanna come along.

Yeah, but it won't be much fun for you
if you stay.

You should be with your family.
We'll be back soon.

-Fine.
-[Simone] I'm sorry.

[Kira] She knows the way, right?

Yeah.

[somber instrumental music playing]

-Martin, this is Olivia.
-Hey.

How does it feel?

It's strange.

You can feel everything.

F-- Feel everything?

[Olivia] The virus...

Rasmus...

maybe even Sarah.

It's like being a part of something...

something bigger.

It sounds crazy.

[Olivia] It is...

but it's nice.

[chuckles softly]

Second thoughts?

Yeah.

No.

A little.

Thanks, Olivia.

-[inhales deeply]
-[door trills]

[sighs]

How do you feel?

[exhales deeply]

I have no idea.

You wouldn't do this
if Simone was still alive.

No.

You loved her.

Yes.

I wish she was still here.

So do I.

So?

Martin is getting
the immunosuppressant and...

then he'll get the virus.

OK, so we keep going.

-Well, it's the only thing we can--
-[beep]

-[beep]
-Are you beeping?

-Beeping?
-Listen.

[beeping continues]

[whirring] [beeping continues]

[Patrick] f*ck.

She's alive.

-[father] Here they are.
-We didn't see anyone.

They're gone.

Thanks.

Is Luna asleep?

-She's not with you?
-[chuckles] Funny.

No, really. She went to find you.

I told her to-- to go back to you.

When-- When was that?

Um...

She's gone.

Luna?

[mother] Luna?

Luna!

[Simone] I thought she was here.

[mother] She left.

[father] Luna!
