02x08 - We Don't k*ll Our Own

[bunniefuu]

Previously on "The Ark"...

I used to drink this stuff with my
old man back in the days of NASA.

He went to the moon base a few times.

He died there when the Eastern
Federation sabotaged it.

The GSA was still at w*r
with the Eastern Federation

- when we left Earth.
- BRICE: We received a distress call from Ark 8.

Yeah, we're all Gen-2s, but
there were Gen-3s onboard.

And one by one they became violent.

I'm programming the ability
to adjust your implants.

Kelly, what are you... [WHEEZING]

Stop! Or I'll have Kelly break her neck.

You have the power to stop this.

I'll keep the controller safe
and only I can access them.

We're Federation operative hunters.

Are you saying Lati
went after Eva because...

- Eva is Eastern Federation.
- It is true.

I'm not sure why I'm
the one under fire here.

I know Lati made a horrible mistake.

It shouldn't have gone down that way,

but we did expose Eva

as an Eastern Federation operative.

Yeah, definitely deserve
points for that one.

GARNET: From now on, there
will be no more unauthorized

or secret investigations of
my crew without my knowledge.

That's not how we do things
here. Is that clear, Kimi?

- Crystal.
- Now, I need you to share anything else

your investigation uncovered
before I get Eva's side of this,

and I also need to know if you suspect

anyone else of being Eastern Federation.

I'd prefer to speak with you privately.

Now. That's an order.

Fine. Seven years ago,

the Eastern Federation
launched a successful as*ault

on the lunar colony.



We're all familiar with what
happened on the lunar base.

My father died in that attack.

Where is this going, Kimi?

I have reason to believe
that Lieutenant Brice

was the pilot on a covert mission

to intercept the attack
on the lunar base,

and that he intentionally
threw the mission

in service of the Eastern Federation.

- That's crazy.
- What evidence do you have?

My best friend Maurisa Yi was
Brice's co-pilot on the mission.

He told me he doesn't know
her, but take a look at this.

That's Maurisa.

They look pretty chummy to me.

Maurisa was k*lled in
the resulting crash,

but obviously,
Lieutenant Brice survived.

With my clearance I was able to
access Lieutenant Brice's records.

The next day, he was demoted two
ranks and suspended from duty.

Is this true?

You've been lying to me this whole time?

You had the chance to save my father

and 186 other people,
and you didn't take it?

Lane.

I'm so sorry.

Spence!

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Just for the record, I'm
not Eastern Federation.

I don't give a damn what you call
yourself. My father is still dead.

Please, can I just explain?

I'd like to hear what
he has to say. Go on.

I was given a classified mission

to stop the attack on the
lunar base, just like Kimi said.

But it didn't go down the way she said.

So then how did it go down?

I'd been mentoring a
young student, Maurisa Yi.

We worked well together, so
on the day of the mission,

the GSA assigned her as my co-pilot.

- They didn't give you any warning?
- No.

The mission was to fly into the middle

of the attacking
Federation fighter craft

detonate a b*mb, and destroy
them all in one expl*si*n.

It was a suicide mission.
Fine by me, you know?

I believed I was dying
of Klampkins anyway,

so why not?

But nobody had bothered telling Maurisa.

And she was young, you
know? She had a family.

She had everything to live for. So I...

I couldn't just sit
there and let her die.

So I went off book, and
I started sh**ting down

all the enemy fighter craft
one by one, just trying...

just trying not to get
myself and Maurisa blown up.

So you were trying to save her?

- And the colony.
- You disobeyed orders.

I just took a risk, Sharon.

I was trying to save everybody.

- But I failed.
- And yet somehow only you survived,

- and you've been lying to everyone ever since.
- It was classified, Spence.

But you're right, mate. I
probably should have told you.

How do you want to handle this?

Isn't it obvious? He
needs to be locked up.

He's already been demoted two ranks

and lived with this for his entire
life. That's punishment enough.

You can't just let him
off scot-free, Garnet.

The GSA investigators thought demotion

was the proper disciplinary
action. I'm won't override them.

- Spence, I know...
- Stay out of my sight.

You have to promise
not to make a big deal

out of what I'm about to say.

I'm listening.

I'm here for a birth control implant.

- You and Angus?
- Shh, shh, shh, shh.

You promised not to make it weird.

Sorry, sorry. Okay.
Have a seat. Have a seat.

All right. I'm just gonna pull this
down. It shouldn't hurt too much.

Just a quick... there you go.

Well, I'm glad you're being careful,

- and that you two are...
- Please stop smiling like that.

Sorry. Um, okay. Well, it
is quiet in here right now,

so let's take the opportunity
to give you a quick checkup.

Could Lati have planted anything
else we don't know about?

We've done a full scan
for any unauthorized crops

and haven't found anything.

Good. I'll leave you
to your plants then.

Actually, there...
there was something else.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Lati did have one good idea.

It's potato vodka. I
need a second opinion.

- I don't usually drink on the job.
- Oh.

But I'm sure you could test
the safety of the product?

Well, I suppose if
it's a security concern.

Good.

- BRICE: Am I interrupting?
- Hey.

No, no, no. Just finishing up here.

Hey, what happened to you?

- The...
- Oh, uh, yeah.

Got a beating from someone who

was well within their
rights to give it to me.

Eva?

Oh. Sorry.

To be honest, mate, that's...

that's kind of what I
wanted to you talk about.

I just feel like I don't...

I don't know who she is.

But you guys have worked
together so closely.

I mean, like, did she ever say
anything? Did she ever do...

Let me just take this back.
Give me two minutes, okay?

Yeah, sure.

- [CLATTERING]
- Hey, what...

What the hell is going on?

Play nicely and nobody
needs to get hurt.

- Sash...
- [GRUNTING]

[GRUNTS]

The mission was classified.
He couldn't tell you.

- Doesn't mean he was lying to you.
- Doesn't it?

Hey, maybe take a second, cool off.

- This is Brice we're talking about.
- Yeah, and it's also my dad!

- I... I know. I'm sorry.
- [HISSING]

What the hell is that?

[GRUNTING]

[PANTING]

[GASPS]

[POWERING UP]

[DISTORTED CHATTER]

[CHATTER CONTINUES]

- Clean this up.
- The sedatives ha

We should be able to
breathe without masks.

- How much time before they start waking up?
- About eight hours.

Drop us out of FTL.

Set a course for our new destination.

[BEEPING]

[BUZZING]

The bio shelter is the only
area of the ship in lockdown.

Strickland to Garnet, the bio
shelter is locked down. Please advise.

- [ALARM BLARING]
- We have to find a way to force the door.

Wait. Wait, wait, wait!
Wait! That's not a good idea!

The environment of the bio
shelter has a separate air supply

- from the rest of the ship to keep the plants safe.
- From what?

There's some sort of air
contamination in the rest of the ship.

Alicia, do you read?
Alicia, please respond.

Lieutenant Lane, respond.

Lieutenant Brice?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Hey, wake up.

Come on! Come on!

[GASPS]

Kelly? What's going on? How did you...

That was incredibly dangerous.

Well, it woke you up last time.
I didn't know what else to do.

What's going on? Why
is everyone unconscious?

It's not just here.

Everyone in the corridors
and the open rooms,

they're all passed out.

Garnet must have turned on my
augmentations so I'd stay awake.

Did you see anything to
tell you what caused this?

It seems like there's
something in the air?

Like a fog or a powder or something.

Might be Ditroxflurane. One sec.

One sec.

No, no, no.

They took all of it.

Ditroxflurane is a powerful sedative.

Someone must've rigged it to
come through the air ducts.

We need to wake up Alicia.

She might be able to
figure out who did this.

No, no! Much smaller dose.

We don't want to wake her
by giving her a heart attack.

[GASPING]

What's going on? What did you do?

- Nothing.
- It's okay. She's here to help.

Someone used the air system
to sedate everyone aboard.

- It didn't affect me.
- She came here to wake us up.

Any word from the bridge?
Is anyone still awake there?

- I was hoping you could figure that out.
- The new bridge has cameras.

- Whoa.
- What was that?

We just dropped out of FTL.

I'm going to see if I can
access the cameras on the bridge.

- Those are all Ark 8 clones.
- I don't understand.

- We saved them. Why would they do this?
- I'm not sure.

But maybe they haven't
reached Engineering yet.

I could go there and take control.

Someone locked the
bulkhead in Engineering.

- I can see three heat signatures.
- Guarding it.

The life support
Sub-Engineering deck is clear.

We could go there and
take control of the ship.

When will people start waking up?

Could be as long as eight hours
before the sedative wears off.

- Can we can just give everyone one of those shots?
- That would take forever.

We'd have to get to everyone
one at a time to do it.

- So what do we do?

Use the same delivery system they did.

I can formulate an antidote
that I can put in the air system,

but it's gonna to take me some
time. Dr. Marsh can help me.

You two see if you can
make it to Sub-Engineering.

- I'll go alone.
- There's clones all over the ship.

You'll need me watching your back.

Fine. Come on.

[GRUNTS]

- What happened?
- I need your help.

[COUGHING]

[BEEPING]

The Sub-Engineering deck's down here.

- You stay here.
- You sure?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[GRUNTING]

[SHOUTING]

- [SQUELCHING]
- [GURGLING]

KELLY: You can come out now.

- More Ark 8 clones.
- I can see that.

- You okay?
- Yeah.

We need to find a way
to stop them. Come on.

Oh, good. Brice, Sasha!

[GASPS]

[WHEEZING, COUGHING]

Okay, what I'm about to
say is gonna sound crazy,

- but everyone is unconscious.
- It was Milos.

Saw him put something in
the life support system.

- What's she doing here?
- Helping.

- She fought my way in here.
- Captain Garnet activated my implants.

- Where's Eva?
- Safe in her room,

probably unconscious like everyone else.

I mean, for all we know she
had something to do with this.

Oh, for the love of God, Alicia,
you know her better than anybody.

I didn't know she was Eastern Fed.

My mentor was k*lled by one
who was a plant in my old lab.

This has nothing to do with
the Eastern Federation, right?

- This is about the clones.
- Stop arguing!

You already said they dropped
us out of FTL and changed course.

Yes, and I bet wherever they're
trying to take us, we don't want to go.

Guys, we can pilot the ship from
here, but we need Eva to rig it.

We don't know how many of
them are between us and Eva.

I don't need Eva. I'm perfectly
capable of handling this.

I just need to re-route the
bridge's controls to this computer.

[BUZZING]

- Damn!
- You sure you don't need Eva?

They've hacked the
system. I'm locked out.

It looks like the FTL is charging.

- How long does that give us?
- I'm guessing not long enough.

Look, guys, I've got an idea.

Do you remember when we
had to propel the ship

out of that comet's path, right?

If me and Sash can get to the
shuttle, then maybe we can...

We can use it to knock the
ship off of its new course.

Right, they won't be
able to go back to FTL

- until they recalculate it.
- Yeah.

If they do, we just move it again.

- Exactly.
- Great. Go.

I'll try and buy you
some time on the computer.

- You gonna be all right?
- Yeah.

Kelly's got my back.

Okay, let's see how well these
clones know how to hack a system.

[BUZZING]

Someone is trying to unlock the system

from the life support sub-level.

Go.

- Did you hear that?
- What? I don't hear anything.

Someone's coming. Keep working.

- [GRUNTING]
- [BONES CRACKING]

There were three of
them. I neutralized them.

Does that mean you k*lled them?

It means you're safe for now.
Finish what you were working on.

- I did. I'm in.
- Good.

Kelly!

- [HISSING]
- [GASPS]

[GROANING]

Good morning, sunshine.

What's going on? What happened?

Just a little sedative.

Sorry I had to let you take the heat

for that expl*si*n
that k*lled the Gen-3s.

You blew up Ark 8?

But I made sure you wouldn't
be stuck in here for too long.

You are one of the few
people I actually trust.

How did you pull off a trigger
mechanism that advanced?

There's a lot you don't
know about me, cousin.

- Yeah, it's beginning to feel that way.
- We've taken Ark 1.

We wouldn't be someone
else's prisoners again.

Well, hold on. I mean,
they saved our lives.

They already locked you up.

How long do you think
the rest of us would have?

Well, you do have a
point. So what's the plan?

We're charting a new
course to our planet.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- I think you have a fever.
- Dr. Marsh said my organs might fail

if I was activated for too long.

- [GROANS]
- Shh. Don't worry.

I'm gonna get us out of this.
You just need to hang on.

Get some rest.

When we arrive, we'll finally
have what we've always wanted.

Freedom.

A chance to establish our own rules.

No clone will ever be a
second-class citizen again.

Well, sounds like it might
actually be worth the wait.

- MILOS: Well worth it.
- Hey, something's wrong.

- What?
- Whoever was trying to break my hack

from the life support
sub-level succeeded.

My controls are frozen.

Contact Nico and the others

in life support sub-level.

Nico, come in. What's your status?

Nico? We've lost contact.

- Do something, Duro.
- I'm not sure how much I can do.

- I'm locked out.
- Well, get back in!

We can't stay in here forever.

If we leave, we risk
contaminating the plants

or getting knocked out ourselves.

I bet Garnet has a
plan. She always does.

Well, we can't wait
around to see what it is.

Strickland to Garnet,
what's your location?

Maybe something happened to her WD.

She could still be on the bridge.

This is Strickland to Bridge.

Captain Garnet, do you copy?

MILOS: Garnet's not here,

Thanks for letting us know you're awake.

The transmission came
from the bio shelter.

Go to the bio shelter. k*ll 'em both.

- Okay, ready for the antitoxin.
- MARSH: Yes.

All right. This should activate...

BOTH: ... the binding agent.

I've never had to construct an
airborne antidote on such short notice.

I never had to construct one period.

The formula seems to be balancing well.

We make a good team.

I'll get the transport
agent to disperse it,

- and we're all set.
- Perfect.

- Uh, we have a problem.
- What?

I was going to use biotalc as the
transport powder for the liquid,

but we don't have any left.

We must be able to use something else.

Not that I would have in enough bulk.

Angus must use diatomaceous
earth in the bio shelter.

- We can use some of that.
- But how do we get it?

Anyone awake in the bio shelter?

- Dr. Kabir, you're okay?
- Yes! Angus, how are you awake?

The air system is isolated
in here to protect the plants.

Angus, do you have
any diatomaceous earth?

- Uh, tons. Why?
- I need you to bring me some.

- STRICKLAND: Dr. Kabir, we have...
- Felix? Oh, thank God!

Yes, yes, I'm here, but we
have no way to get to you

without exposing ourselves and
the plants to the toxin in the air.

It's cleared. Felix, you can
leave the bio shelter safely.

Then how much diatomaceous
earth do you need?

- How much you got? Okay, well, bring it.
- A lot.

Oh, damn it.

You know, I used to actually get
excited about flying this thing?

Now it's like taking
my gran out for a walk.

She's temperamental and she only
moves when she feels like it.

- So, no luck, huh?
- Well, I mean,

Alicia bought us some time
with the computer shutdown,

but it's locked us out of
the shuttle system as well.

Hey, what about the EF shuttle?

No, the Ark 1 attachment is
jury-rigged to fit a GSA coupling.

It would snap right off.

- So is there another way?
- Yeah, maybe.

If we can bypass the failsafe,

then we can just take
manual control, right?

- Yeah.
- Get to the back.

Prep the engines for a cold start.

Gonna do this the old-fashioned way.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Anja, Karim, is it done?

KARIM: There is no one here.

We don't have time for all this.

You're the engineer. How do we get in?

Well, without the command
codes, it's nearly impossible.

- Are they stored somewhere?
- Not likely.

Look, there is a way,
but you might not like it.

- Spit it out.
- If anyone has the command codes,

it's Captain Garnet.

[GASPING, PANTING]

Don't worry, we don't k*ll our own.

I believe in clone solidarity.

Well, at least first
and second generation.

Is that what this is about?
Some kind of clone uprising?

I'm just doing what's best for clones,

including you and him.

What you'll come to see is
that you and I are very similar.

I just wanna make sure
my people are safe,

and I can't do that with you in charge.

But I'm a clone, too. Not
to mention, I rescued you.

Clearly, I'm not a threat.

Yeah, but you were also gonna
rescue them crazed Gen-3s,

and I'm sure you can see how
that might have raised some doubts

about your decision-making skills.

That was you who slaughtered them?

You locked up the wrong clone.

Now, why don't we go to the bridge,

see if we can't work something out?

What about Lane?

He'll be fine. We'll only k*ll
the non-clones before they wake up.

Why would I help you if
you're just gonna k*ll my crew?

Fine. Stay in here.

I'll k*ll them now.

So you're a part of this?

Milos is doing this for all of us.

- Doing what exactly?
- This is our ship now.

We needed to make sure that your crew

wouldn't do anything to
interfere with our plans.

Soon as we're back underway

and we're sure we
don't need any of them,

we'll eliminate them.

- You've taken us off course?
- We have a new destination.

- Where?
- We can get into all that,

but first I need your command codes.

You see, some pesky Ark 1 member

seems to have locked us out.

You know I can't do that.

- Can't or won't?
- Both.

You don't have to do this Milos.
If you just give me a chance,

I'm sure there's a way
everybody can get what they want.

You've been fighting for
the wrong side for so long

that you can't see this for what it is.

I'm not on anyone's side. I
just want to protect my crew.

And I want the same for mine,

after everything we clones have endured,

something you know about
more about than most.

And that's why I would
never let it happen again.

We were experimented on, tortured,

mined for parts by the GSA,

and now you want us to put
our trust in a GSA crew?

- We saved your lives.
- I'm grateful you helped us.

Truly. But we will never put our
lives in someone else's hands again,

especially not some GSA pawn.

Unlock the controls.

- No.
- Let me make myself clear.

I don't like to k*ll clones,

but if you don't give us
access to the computer system,

then I'm gonna k*ll Lieutenant Lane

where he lies in your cabin.

What'll it be?

Lieutenant Lane or your
stubborn belief in the GSA? Huh?

- Go k*ll him.
- Fine, fine.

Fine. I'll do it.

- [BEEPING]
- [BUZZING]

[GRUNTING]

- No!
- No!

- What the hell did you do?
- You know what I did?

I triggered a ship-wide lockdown,
every bulkhead in this place.

And I made sure you're never
getting into the computers.

What good does this do? You're
still stuck in here with my crew.

Yes, but now your people won't
be able to get to any of my crew

if they aren't already with them.

You need to drop this
self-righteous act. You're one of us.

You have more in common
with the Gen-3s you k*lled

than you'll ever have with me.

Those clones were deranged.
I am nothing like them.

Look around. You sure about that?

Tie her up. We may still need her.

- The engine has been prepped for manual flight.
- Atta boy, Sash. Atta boy.

Right, here we go. Moment of truth.

No, no, no, no. Wait.

Lucky charm.

Systems are a go.

Let's hope they don't
mind the little detour.

Uh, Milos, something's
changing our course.

- How is that possible?
- Someone gained control of the shuttle.

- They're using it to change our trajectory.
- Damn it!

You think this is funny? Hmm?

Like when you had me
locked up like a dog?

I bet you had a right laugh, didn't you?

- I should k*ll you right now.
- Ian, stand down.

I said, stand down!

Fine.

Do whatever it takes to
regain control of the ship.

Oi! Find a way out of here.

We need to stop
whoever's in that shuttle.

Thank you. I couldn't
have done this without you.

Of course, but it won't do us much
good without the delivery powder.

Angus and Felix must be stuck somewhere.

The emergency med code should give
us access to the rest of the ship.

Okay.

- [BUZZING]
- Garnet must've initiated the lockdown

or my code would be working.

The captain's code is the
only one I can't override.

Alicia, it's Kabir. Uh, we
might need some help over here.

I don't know how much I'll be
able to do. We're locked in.

That's what we need help
with. The antidote is done,

but we need to be able to get it to you

and we need Angus and Felix
to be able to get to us.

STRICKLAND: We're not far away,

but we're trapped in corridor 23-J.

I may be able to unlock the
doors between here and med bay.

That'll include 23-J,
but I need a second.

I need to find a vulnerability
in the encryption.

Tell Dr. Marsh Kelly's
not looking so good.

I can help as soon as I get there.

Her organs might be failing,

but her implants have
not been on for that long.

What about her nanites?

Her nanites are the only
reason she's still alive at all.

[CHIMING]

But I don't know how much
longer without my medical help.

ALICIA: I've cleared a path
to the life support sub-level,

but I don't know how long it'll hold.

Wait. We can't go yet.

Angus hasn't gotten
here with the dio-earth.

She won't make it without
my help. I have to go now.

- But just wait...
- Special delivery.

Oh! Thank you! Thank you!

Well, I'd say we've
pulled them way off course.

- They're probably so pissed.
- Yep.

Nothing to do now but just wait
for them to try and stop us.

Yeah.

Sash, you've known Eva
longer than anybody.

Did you have any idea she
was Eastern Federation?

- I still don't believe it.
- Well, yeah, I know, mate,

but, I mean, she didn't deny it.

Yeah, well, it's hard
for me to imagine Eva

being on the wrong side of things.

She's a good person.

- ANGUS: Hey.
- Okay, okay, okay!

[GRUNTS]

Uh, Alicia? Kind of need you.

Oh, oh. Yeah, sorry. This way.

MARSH: Kelly, can you hear me?

All right, that's all of it.

ANGUS: Okay.

[ALICIA LAUGHS]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

What the hell are they doing?

DURO: I'm seeing a rise of infrared
signatures all over the ship.

- Meaning? How is that possible?
- People are waking up.

The chemicals we used
should've left them unconscious

for another four hours.

[CROWD SHOUTING]

They're trying to get in.

- You helped her?
- Well, she's a good person.

- Oh, you're dead.
- I thought you didn't k*ll your own.

Ian!

[GRUNTS]

[ALL GRUNTING]

Thanks.

[GRUNTING CONTINUES]

[SCREAMS]

[SLICING]

[PANTING]

Sorry it took so long.

Had to wait for the right
opportunity to show my hand.

No apology necessary.

I'm the one who should be apologizing

to you for doubting you.

- Let's let our crew out.
- [BEEPING]

How's she doing?

She's not doing well.

Her vitals are severely low.

The implants were
activated for too long,

far longer than her
body has ever endured.

I wish I could've gotten to the controls

to turn off her implants sooner.

- Will she be okay?
- I don't know.

Depends on her nanites.

They don't seem to be working
as quickly as I expected.

Go ahead. Yell at me.

Thank you.

I've never felt more alone in my life.

You see, the thing is,

I just don't see how you could be evil.

I refuse to believe that.

So EF, GSA, whatever,

it doesn't matter.

I love you.

And quite frankly, you could turn purple

and it wouldn't change a thing.

Purple? Really?

Oh, Garnet, what a pleasant surprise.

You know, I was just about
to curl up with a good book.

You know, I got the best
night's sleep I've ever had.

Well, you're in luck.
I've got one more surprise.

You've been promoted.
Head of engineering.

Hmm. I didn't realize you trusted me.

I'm not sure I do, but the truth is

you're the most qualified
to take over for Eva.

- Thank you.
- Don't make me regret it.

By the way, you never had that
bathtub I requested installed.

That's because you can take a shower

at the end of the hall
like the rest of us.

I do not bathe myself
among the unclean masses.

Well, then I guess you'll
become one of the unclean masses.

William Trust, Head of Engineering. Hmm.

Is it fixable?

Yes, but maybe we just stick

with the keypad on the
outside from now on?

I couldn't agree more.
Just patch the hole.

As your doctor, I have to warn
you all to drink conservatively.

And as your other doctor, I say enjoy.

- I choose what Dr. Marsh said.
- Nice.

I'm surprised we
didn't do this long ago.

Well, Lieutenant Lane
has asked me to make

alcoholic beverages for a while.

Yes, I have, and you
couldn't have listened to me

at a better time,
because I need a drink.

- The toast!
- To Ark 1!

ALL: To Ark 1!

What the hell is that?

That's not good.

It's Eastern Federation.

LANE: And their weapons
are targeting us.
