03x04 - Hiding in Plain Sight

[bunniefuu]

- Previously on "The Ark."

- That doctor said something
about me being the one.

What the hell
is Drake doing to them?

- It's like
some kind of puzzle.

That feels like progress.

- I had to go to freaking space
to get away from him.

- Gen-3 brain cells
are unstable,

and they do develop psychosis.

[expl*si*n booming]

- Generators don't just
explode without reason.

- What are you implying?

- This is what
Angus was wearing

the last time I saw him.

- The "Ark 1" shuttle is gone.

- Find her.

- But I'm not Gen-3.

- Yes, darling, you are.

[dramatic music]

[laughter]

- She don't look too good.

- You all right, sis?

- Let's just say
I'm having a difficult time

believing I'm a Gen-3 clone.

- Mm.

- What can I say, darling?

You are.

- Can you explain
how that can be?

- It just--it doesn't track.

She never went psychotic.

- Which is exactly why

Kurtis has been
looking for you.

He wants to use you
to find a way

to stop the Gen-3s
from ever turning.

- If that's the case,
why didn't Drake just tell her?

- I'm guessing
he didn't think I'd be open

to impromptu brain surgery.

- Alls I know is he thinks
something inside of you

is the answer
to all his problems.

- You mean the problems
with the Gen-3s?

- Mm-mm.

That is not how he said it.

He specifically said,
"If I could just find

the right one, it would
solve all my problems."

- Mm.

are blaming each other
for the generator explosions.

We need to give them
the information--

- I'm afraid

He isn't "EF-2."

- Are you certain?

- Absolutely.

- Well, he doesn't appear
on any Ark manifests.

- You must have
missed something.

GSA manifests are solid.

- As are EFs'.

- All right, so he's not
on either manifest.

The truth is he could be
a stowaway from either ship.

- But if he's been
hiding out all this time,

why expose himself now
to sabotage the generator?

- I don't know.

But as soon as
he regains consciousness,

we'll interrogate him
to find out.

- Any idea when that might be?

- [sighs] Well, I don't

much less when.

are there more like him?

- It's also important
we understand

what kinds of power sources
they have.

- Were they armed?
- They need to rest.

- This can't wait.

We need to know
what we're dealing with.

- It can wait until tomorrow.

- All right.

Until tomorrow.

- Thank you.

Rest up.

- Um--sorry, one second.

Can I talk to you for a minute?

- I don't have time.

- Sharon, just hear me out.

Once Dr. Hall died,
I should have told you.

- Yes, you should have.

- But you were so worried about
ending up like your sister,

I didn't want
to exacerbate that worry

by telling you
you were Gen-3.

- That was not
your decision to make.

- You're right. I'm sorry.

You said Drake had a room
full of Gen-3s on his ship?

- At least one.

- Then who knows
how many more Gen-3s

could be out there, right?

I mean, Drake's company made
a lot of clones.

- Is there a point?

- Yes.

Drake thought he could find
the answer in you,

but he didn't have
one thing I do.

Dr. Hall's research.

- OK, but you said
he couldn't reproduce the cure.

- Well, he might have
had he lived long enough.

Let's finish his work.

[soft dramatic music]

- Uh, so you want
to experiment on me?

- No.
I-I want to find a cure.

Together.

- Can I help you
with something, Admiral?

- Cut the BS.

- Now, I was
pleasantly surprised

to see that
my Admiral clearance code

still gave me access
to redacted files.

I got to read all about you.

I always thought
Black Thorn was a rumor.

Tell me, do your cohorts on
the council know about this?

- You know...

I really wished
you let this go.
