05x01 - The Few Who Dare

Post by bunniefuu »

We date back to the Victorians.

House of Westmorland.

Have you thought about how insane you are,

jumping in the chopper to a mad scientist's private island?

Have you seen Marty Duko lately?

No way.

There are cops outside of our house Donnie, we have to get out of here!

Rachel just wants power.
She'll cut us all down.

(pained gasping)

You'll bring back Cosima, Sarah. We know you will.

Sarah, Rachel's taken the cure.

(screams of pain)

(male): Delphine was alive when they took her away.

You found your cure.

You can sh**t me up like old times.

You won't be allowed to stay with her.

Mr. Westmorland will see you now.

- That's impossible.
- Not for him.


No, no. Don't worry. The whole family is just fine.

(labored breathing)

(gasping)

- (beeping)

(tapping)

(ringing)

- Sarah.
- Felix.

My phone is gonna die. Just listen.

Okay, yeah, I'm listening.

Ferdinand took Kira and Mrs. S.

- What?!
- Go check the safe house!

This is all Rachel. She's taken over from Susan.

(sighs)

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

No you're not, you're lying! I can hear it in your voice.

Look, it doesn't matter. OK?

OK? Rachel took the cure before Cosima could get to it.

- What's happening?
- Just, Sarah,

get your ass off the island.

I'm not leaving without Cosima.

Put me on speaker.

Ira, Susan said she sent Cosima to a boat.

- Where is that?
- Is Susan alright?

Answer the question!

On the west side of the island, there is a boathouse.

It's at a river mouth, downstream from the village,

- but...
- Downstream from what village?

Hello?

Ira.

What village?

I'm right here. I'm gonna keep you warm.

You won't be allowed to stay with her.

I think I'm dying.

You must not tell anyone!

(A door is closed and locked.)

(Cosima exhales sharply.)

(sigh)

(grunt)

(struggling with the locked door)

Hello?

Oh, good!

What? No. No. No.

No. No!

You know that she's sick!

What do you want me to do?

(indistinct conversation)

(door being unlocked)

Hello?

Good morning, Cosima!

Who are you?

Oh, uh, right.

Welcome to Revival.

Sustaining life off the grid since .

My name is Mud.

And these... are your wellies!

Do you know where Delphine went just now?

Uh, to work, I think. At the clinic.

- She'll be back.
- I really need to talk to her.

I know! It's a lot, right?

You woke up in a yurt. You're wondering who all these people are.

You just wanna know what's going on.

Yeah. Are you gonna tell me?

I'll show you.

(door hinges creaking)

(sounds of many people working and talking)

This is Revival.

(revelatory music)

Come on.

We're almost completely self-sufficient.

We generate our own power, we have our own comms...

Great. I-I need to talk to my sisters.

Oh, you're not gonna be allowed to do that.

And our greenhouse is over here!

We raise all our own livestock, uh, there's a fish farm.

We have everything we need!

All these people are chosen from every part of the world.

Why are they here?

To genetically improve the human race!

We all contribute and we all benefit.

I-I had some pretty beneficial science stolen from me.

Do you know a Rachel Duncan?

Oh, we do now.

Yeah, this is a big day for all of us.

- She's in seclusion with Him.
- With who?

The founder!

We're all his children here.

You lost me. Who-whose children?

P.T. Westmorland.

He lives here, with us.

Really? How old is old P.T. now?

last June.

Are you familiar with his paper on post-subjectivity and collective research living?

It's totally visionary!

Wow. Okay.

Cosima!

Hey, Charlotte!

Oh, my God! Hey.

Tweedle Small and Tweedle Tall.

Just ignore her. What were you doing in there?

It's... sort of a school.

Okay. That's weird. I...

How are you feeling?

I'm feeling OK, but what happened to our treatment?

You let me worry about that. OK?

Delphine, my friend? She's-she's got our back.

- What about Susan? Is she OK?
- I heard she'll pull through.

- How did you hear that?
- Rumours.

P.T. and Susan go way back, but... family feuds, who's to say?

(sigh)

(threatening scream)

- Oh God! It's me!
- Oh my God, Arthur!

I almost hit you with a pan!

Yeah, well I almost sh*t you, so we're even.

Did you find anything?

Corkscrew through the back of the hand, pub fighting.

Classic Siobhan.

That's a good thing? Now, Ferdinand's pissed off.

Art, I just need you to think.

Where would he take them?

I need you to tell me that we've got something to go on here.

Hey, there's always something to go on.

I can't contact Siobhan's network.

- Worried they're blown too.
- Look, I'm going to help you.

There's a vice on me down at the station right now over the Duko thing.

I don't even know who's legit police and who's Neo right now.

- So one favour.
- Yeah?

The Hendricks's. Make sure they stay put.

We can't put anyone else in harm's way.

Yeah, I'll pass it on.

Kira and Siobhan are going to be alright.

Okay? We'll find them.

Art and me, we're hatching a plan, okay?

We're going to get them back soon, I promise.

(Alison): Felix, what do you need us to do?

Nothing. I don't need anything. Just... where's Helena?

- She's out hunting.
- Trapping.

It's all categorized as hunting, Donnie.

I know, but specifically, she's trapping.

Okay. This is dire, Donnie. He needs some ideas of a concrete plan on how to save Kira.

No, no, no. I don't, Donnie. I just need you to stay put and stay safe. Art's request.

Just keep yourselves and particularly Helena the blonde

under wraps for now.

He's right. Think of our babies.

Great! I'll talk to you guys soon, okay?

- Bye.
- Felix?

Ugh! Poop on a stoop, we don't even know what the plan is.

The plan is to sit tight.

- Sit tight in a national park?
- Yes.

Right. With Sarah stranded and Kira missing, and no word from Cosima?

- Yes?
- Well, get packing, mister.

Bell.

I've got a present for you.

Yeah? What's that?

Matty!

You know Matty Enger?

Hey, Art!

We've met before.

Yeah. Vice, right?

- Big time.
- Vice is not a current problem.

Her current problem is she's a misogynist.

My partner was overly versed in sensitivity training.

Regardless, there's a divorce in the family, so we're shuffling the deck.

You finally got a new partner, Art.

My advice to you both: go at it slowly this time, huh?

Make it last.

Just like that, huh?

Just like that.

(painful grunting)

Boat's still here.

- No sign of her.
- Where's Amar?

- Come in, Amar.
- Just upstream, Coop.

- Bringing the dogs from the village.
- Hurry up.

The Old Man was clear.

We don't go home until she's back at Revival with the other one.

Roger that.

"Revival"?

♪ ♪

(painful grunting)

You're Afghan.

From Afghanistan? Yes?

(speaking Farsi)

Do you speak English, Aisha?

Do you know why you're here?

- To get better.
- Yeah.

Can you open your mouth for me?

Thank you.

(speaking Farsi)

We came for the fountain.

Good luck.

(knocking)

- Why is this door locked?
- What?


(knocking)

Open up!

- Coming!
- Open it!

The new arrivals just left. They must have locked it on their way out.

- What?
- It's time.

He wants to see you.

Me?

Why?

Now.

(Scott): All satellite maps of the island are blurred, but...

Susan's compound is... down here. Boathouse... here.

And the village is up here somewhere.

They call it "Revival", but that's all I know.

Susan hasn't been there in years.

She avoided the subject altogether.

You expect us to believe that?

Ira, Rachel has forsaken you, so for God's sake, pick a bloody side!

Bollocks!

Now would be time for some good news, Scott.

Sorry, Felix. It's enough to start a rescue mission, but...

Scott, how? Jet-skis? Frogmen? I'm on a bicycle, boys.

Well, we're reaching out to the Masked One.

What do you mean? M.K.?

That's good, actually.

She's skilled, but skittish. How exactly does one reach out?

Well, we know she games hard, right?

So, I spammed hundreds of platforms with hundreds of avatars named Sarah Manning.

We'll see who gloms.

I have no idea what he just said, but M.K. once contacted Kira through a game.

- It was this, um...
- Minecraft.

Thank you! I saw her playing on her laptop at the safe house.

- Do you think that would help?
- It could, yeah.

Great. Alright, I'm on it. Just keep after him.

(Matty): Major crimes.

Man, I tell you, it's good to be back home!

(Art): Then why are we so far outside the city limits?

Do you have a case, Matty, or a reason why we're out here?

Yeah. I want to make out.

The file is here somewhere. You ever work vice?

- No.
- The things I saw down there, sex stuff, extreme body mod, t*rture crap.

That sh*t'll rot your teeth out.

But this... is truly incestuous.

Hmm.

No cracks.

Still!

Damn, you're a survivor.

But the thing is, your preppy friends are only worth what they know.

And I'm betting they know where this one is.

You ever meet the psycho? Running around all pregnant.

No. Never seen her.

I'm realizing... you don't know how far we're willing to go to bring all these clones in.

You better embrace this new future, Art, because it's going to be here real soon.

(blowing loon call)

(blowing loon call back)

Yes! Skills!

What the Dickens are you doing?

I'm loon calling Helena!

I'm like Jeremiah Johnson over here!

She's close, by the way.

Good. Well, I packed all of her things.

Yeah, yeah.

(blowing loon call)

Is that the emergency loon call?

What do you do with furs that still smell like fur?

- Don't move.
- (gasps)

(screaming)

(muffled): Donnie! Donnie!

Donnie! Donnie!

Let go! Let go of me!

- It needn't be so hard.
- sh*t!

Hello.

- Which faction are you from?
- My name is Mr. Frontenac.

There is only one faction now.

Oh. Consolidation.

The bane of diversity, if I may say.

Particularly under dear Rachel.

You needn't fear the change upon you.

Rachel has taken a special interest in your family.

Yeah. I can see that.

Shall you and I do this... amicably?

You fudgy fudgers! I can't breathe!

Alison.

Stay calm.

- Where are Donnie and Helena?
- How should I know?

Helena was out murdering God's creatures and my husband abandoned me.

Where do you think they'd go?

What is happening, Art?

They want you to come in, Alison.

Your sisters, your family.

They want a truce.

A truce? Kidnapping children is the Neo definition of a truce?

You need to understand the benevolence on offer here.

It comes from above.

I'm sworn not to harm a single hair on a single clone head.

- (panicked screaming)
- Now, where's Helena?

- Uh, in the woods!
- What's her back-up plan?

- I don't know her back-up plan!
- You do.

- No! No, I don't.
- She ran.

Where does she go when she runs?

I don't know.

Okay.

I believe you. No harm.

We good, Art? We done?

We're just getting started, partner.

Let's take you home and tuck you in.

And maybe we'll all live long, healthy lives.

(chirping)

(painful grunting)

"We are all Revival's children,

"chosen for a brighter future,

"where our frail bodies become so much stronger; and death and aging haunt us no longer."

- This place is scary.
- Yeah.

Do you know what a myth is?

It's an old, old story, and some it is true and some of it is not.

But it's told to us to teach us something.

- Delphine.
- I'm so sorry.

- I thought you were dead.
- I wasn't allowed to contact you.

Why are you here now?

Please listen. There's no time.

- Transport is ready.
- Could you give us minutes?

- What's going on?
- Please.

This isn't what I want either.

- Where are you taking her?
- She has a research trip.

I'm going to Sardinia.

Sardinia?

We each have a role here, Cosima.

I don't understand.
This place is insane!

What, you were saved by a -year-old man?

The science is real, Cosima.

In here, you can't make the obvious assumptions.

It's like nothing I've seen before.

You didn't think it would be there.

I need something to hold on to.

This entire island...

is a decades-long pro-longevity study.

- And everyone here is participating?
- Yes.

Stem cell therapy, cryonics, caloric restriction, immunotherapy, cloning.

When you think about it, if you want to genetically improve the human race, life extension is the first principle.

This place... this is the heart of Neolution.

There's a child and she has cancer.

I've seen others like her brought here for some...

- experimental treatment.
- What does this have to do with me?

Rachel is ramping up their agenda and this has something to do with it.

(knocking) It's time.

There's a clinic... across the camp with a red cross on the door.

This is the key, okay?

Come on! Let's go!

I hid your treatment in the back of a fridge

It's ready, enough for you and Charlotte.

- Let's go!
- OK?

Follow the crazy science.


(painful grunting)

(dogs barking)

They're scenting her this way!

So what are you waiting for?

Who's hanging game way out here?

Just track the girl down.

- That's what he wants.
- Move it, Amar!

Mommy.

Cooper, what the hell is going on out here?

Could it have been the girl?

- Nah-ha.
- Then what was it?

- Must've been the bear.
- (dogs barking)

(Amar): It wasn't a bear. Something stabbed it!

It was a bear.

You got that?

It's going to be dark soon.
Let's cut and head back.

What about the girl?

Good luck to her.

(ominous music)

Hello!

Do you want to be left alone?

That's a complicated question.

I'm sorry about your friend.

Yeah, well... we never really had any, uh... real control over it.

(vintage gramophone music)

Wow. Wow, it's time!

It's time!

(vintage gramophone music)

What is going on?

P.T. has something to tell us.

What?

(applause)

Thank you.

I am humbled to have pierced the veil and to address you on behalf of Mr. Westmorland.

Like you, I was selected.

I know now his hand

guided my entire life.

I know Susan Duncan, my mother, once stood here as I am, appointed to move the future forward.

And she did.

She created me.

It is time to be brave, to sacrifice.

The fruits of nearly years of Neolution science are now within our grasp.

And we, here, shall drink from the fountain first.

You're meant to put that in your uterus?

I was kind of hoping you would, actually.

No! No way.

You and I are going to go find Charlotte and we're going to get you to somewhere safe.

They'll treat you there.

Who gives a sh*t if the founder of Neolution is still alive?

I do.

You're crazy.

- We need to go, Cosima.
- No, I can't.

What are you talking about?

Look. Think about it, Sarah.

Whatever this place is, it's the answer.

I don't give a sh*t. I came all this way.

Rachel tried to k*ll me, Cosima.

- You're going to come home with me!
- No, you need to go back and take care of Siobhan and Kira, and I need to stay here for us.

We'll never be free if I leave now.

- She's not here.
- What?

(whistling)

(man shouting)

That's got to be for me. You have to go!

Oh, Christ.

I really don't want to leave you here.

This way is clear. Come on.

There's something in the woods, Cosima.

- What? What do you mean?
- I don't know. I don't know.

It att*cked me, all right?

Just take care of yourself.

Find some answers.

Yeah. Yeah.

What are you doing?

She's here!

Oh.

Leave us, please.

Not the easiest procedure to perform on oneself, is it?

I knew some of the cell line was missing.

You keep very thorough logs.

Stop, Cosima.

You'll hurt yourself.

Give me the needle.

Cosima.

I'm as invested in this as you are.

Thank you.

Come. Lie down.

You sure you know what you're doing?

It has to be inserted into the uterine wall.

Shh, shh, shh. Relax.

Just breathe.

There's no need to be afraid anymore.

You and I are going to cure us all.

Just hit me, Rachel.

Night, night.

It's a new day, Sarah.

- Kira!
- We'd like to study her, here at Dyad.

We found M.K.

Rachel wants to restart human cloning.

The easier you make this for us, the easier you make it on my new partner, here.

My babies are special like Kira.

They want our biologies.

I know you created me, so what the hell is the point of all of this?

We are going to take such good care of you.

You bitch!
