Sure, get out of the way. Oh

0:05

screw, it's dark out here. Goodiders!

0:19

We're through. Get it down,

0:23

get the door down. Well,

0:30

this is fun. Are

0:32

we going to have to

0:34

crank every damn door we hit? I

0:37

don't know. Why? Aren't they

0:39

powered? I don't know. The ship

0:42

seems dead. They're dead. Disconnected.

0:46

Bodies. They are

0:48

bodies here. Yeah,

0:51

they look... they're

0:53

armored. Like security? Everything worked.

0:56

They got waxed. Boons,

1:00

armor piercings, shell

1:02

casings all over the floor. I

1:06

think we have bigger problems. What

1:08

is this thing? It

1:11

looked mechanical to me

1:14

from what I could see, which admittedly wasn't

1:16

a whole lot. Looks

1:18

like we're in a security checkpoint for

1:21

whoever docks on the airlock. Hence

1:23

the dead security guys. Control

1:25

panels. There. And...

1:32

they're dead. More than dead. Look

1:34

at the screens. They're cracked. They shorted

1:36

out. They're in the middle of that little pulse that Crayton

1:38

was rigged to blow. Whatever

1:43

that thing is, it's on the other side of

1:45

the wall. Well, it's not coming

1:47

through that door. It's too big. But

1:50

how is it moving room to room? A

1:53

legitimate question. If you know

1:55

something that could help us here, maybe you could start sharing.

1:57

Get a wee wrist guard. Ass is getting you off the

1:59

ground. Very, very

2:02

nice place, Angel. I can

2:05

help you. Whether I know

2:07

it or not, the dog's

2:09

right. Please, hold

2:13

your seat. I don't

2:15

want you to be coming right in open to me.

2:17

I have to pay for your daughter. I don't want

2:19

you to be here any day. No, I'm gonna go.

2:21

I'll go to the med-y-o. Hold

2:27

me, Gregor. I

2:32

don't need you to be nearby. You

2:38

ready? Oh,

2:41

no. Are you kidding me?

2:44

You do? What? You don't

2:47

fly. Let that thing in. You know,

2:50

I lose the voice. Gregor,

2:53

why are you having

2:56

me over here? You!

3:01

Oh, shit, the light! Are

3:10

you okay? What? You

3:15

don't know how I can

3:17

see anything. I'm trying to find a way in

3:19

front of it. All I think is like... Where

3:22

are you? I

3:24

don't need anything on us. Where

3:27

are we? I'm

3:29

staying. I'll

3:32

be right at it, I think. Only one

3:34

injured load of the tick has an arm. Can we get

3:36

the turn red? I

3:38

don't need a car. I'm

3:41

gonna go.

3:44

I'm gonna go. I'm

3:46

gonna go. I'm

3:49

gonna go. Gregor.

3:54

I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go. All

4:00

around the country. I

4:05

can't go. I

4:10

never walked this long, are you? I walked

4:12

up. And you fell? There's

4:14

no way you can't do it. She was just a

4:17

human. God. I

4:20

can't believe you. You got it. Oh, you

4:22

have to tell me. I'm waiting. Oh,

4:25

God. Yeah.

4:30

Because it's right into the behind it.

4:38

How about it? What's

4:40

wrong? I have

4:42

it. Ripped. You're walking all

4:44

alone. I'm really showing up.

4:48

It can work. Hey! Give

4:50

me a minute. I'm

4:52

going to get you. I'm going to

4:55

get you. I'm going to get

4:57

you. I'm going to get you. I'm

5:00

going to get you.

5:02

Whatever it was. What

5:08

is it, darling? You're driving me

5:10

a lot of something. I'm

5:13

going to get you. I'm going

5:16

to get you. I'm

5:23

going to get you. Ouch.

5:29

I see you. Maybe

5:31

it wrecked itself. Well,

5:34

I might be a bad thing.

5:38

I think it is that thought mode. You're

5:40

saying it's pink now? What

5:47

would you say? Pressing

5:51

in the drum. Moving forward.

6:01

We need

6:04

another way

6:13

out of the stream. We

6:30

need another way out

6:32

of the stream. We

6:47

need

6:51

another way out

6:55

of the

6:59

stream.

7:08

We need

7:16

another way out

7:18

of the stream.

7:27

We need another

7:31

way out

7:35

of the

7:40

stream.

7:48

We need another way out

7:50

of the stream. I'm

8:00

gonna have to wait. I'm gonna

8:03

have to wait. God.

8:22

God. No.

8:26

Neither are important questions.

8:30

Important questions aren't a premium here.

8:33

We hold the ask. I

8:37

can feel you. I can feel

8:39

you. We do

8:41

very little without intention, our new little friend. We

8:43

have a long way to crawl. It

8:48

will be easier without your struggling. Wait. Stronger

8:53

as an individual.

8:56

There is no time to wait. Wait.

9:00

Wait. Wait.

9:04

Stop. No.

9:16

Hi, this is Elizabeth Laidlaw. I'm the voice of Dr. Eva Graf.

9:20

I'm also a producer on Derelict,

9:23

as well as being a professional actor,

9:25

director, teacher, and mom. I

9:27

juggle a lot of jobs, just like you, and

9:30

I do that better when I eat healthy. But

9:33

during really busy times, I don't have time for

9:35

meal prep. That's why I love

9:37

Factor. Factor creates

9:39

chef-crafted, dietician-approved fresh meals and delivers

9:41

them right to my door. They

9:44

have 35 meals to choose from per

9:47

week with options like keto, calorie smart,

9:49

vegan, protein plus, and more. And

9:51

all of their meals heat up in just two minutes.

9:54

I just had the Indian butter chicken today on

9:56

my lunch break, and it was delicious. Course

10:00

to fill me up and keep me

10:02

going. They also have over fifty five

10:05

weekly add ons as well like cold

10:07

pressed juices, movies, and energy bites. My

10:09

career is only predictable in that it's

10:11

totally unpredictable. said sounds familiar. Luckily Factors:

11:57

to miss? Reached out to my office

11:59

before proceeding with this manner. He and

12:01

I are old friends as you know,

12:04

I appreciate you. I have

12:06

been informed you push through

12:08

a pharmaceutical trial by fabricating

12:10

to send letters from your

12:12

superiors. Wilson's

12:16

if you must understand

12:18

I believe in next.

12:29

To someone. To.

12:32

Be distributed as six people are dead

12:35

Wilson. Six.

12:37

People who participated in your trial. To

12:39

be clear, Knox

12:47

College. I

12:53

What is it about this situation? You're

12:55

very confusing. I'm

13:02

a politician, not a scientist

13:04

does. It was explained to

13:07

me the camel go you

13:09

prematurely pushed into trial volatiles

13:11

com on reaction with some

13:13

part of the central nervous

13:15

system. It as this effect

13:18

in subjects with a certain

13:20

gene sequence that unfortunately have

13:22

them to be six participants.

13:26

Now now. We

13:29

the compound penalize them and

13:31

stopped their breathing. As

13:36

I understand it most while their

13:38

family members watched. Family

13:40

members who are now very interested

13:43

in seeing the mass dorian corporations.

13:46

Francis Dorian in Evelyn Moss says,

13:48

you're no doubt no, do not

13:51

like to be made to suffer.

13:54

Fortunately for them, they have an out.

13:58

you Who

14:01

did this ill-conceived action all on

14:03

your own? And

14:05

they will prove it in court. They

14:09

will give you to the wolves. Father,

14:13

I... There are a variety of legal

14:15

loopholes I could exploit. No

14:17

small number of favors I could call them. I'm

14:20

sorry. I... I... Were you in this

14:22

position? Again, I... And

14:24

I have chosen not to. Sir?

14:29

You are a... Disappointment,

14:31

Wilson. And

14:34

I'm afraid this is the last of what I am prepared

14:36

to tolerate. Father, I...

14:38

I never... Do you remember you and

14:40

your sister's tenth birthday? She

14:45

looked so much like your mother

14:47

then, at that age. Everyone

14:51

else thought it was the eyes. She

14:54

had her eyes, certainly, but it was for me.

14:58

They fit in her cheeks. I

15:01

asked what she wanted, a

15:03

singular gift. She

15:06

could have anything, of course. Do

15:09

you remember what she asked for? She

15:14

asked for a piano. The

15:17

same thing you asked for. At

15:21

ten years old, she

15:23

tabled her own desires for

15:26

you. Because

15:28

she knew I would never concede such a

15:30

thing for my son. You

15:33

were meant for greater things in my mind then.

15:37

But I could never refuse her anything.

15:42

She was my daughter. She

15:44

was your mother,

15:47

all over again. I

15:52

hated that instrument. The

15:55

sounds of you tinkering away on it

15:57

sounded like... failure.

16:04

But she wanted you to have it. And

16:10

you... let

16:12

her go. Didn't

16:15

you? Didn't

16:20

you? Yes.

16:24

You let her

16:26

go. Yes. We

16:32

have reached the end of our road, Wilson. You

16:36

are on your own now. Mom,

16:46

all I

16:49

ever wanted was

16:51

to put my broken back together. It

16:55

was... everything I

16:57

could do. And

17:01

now, Wilson, could

17:03

you possibly do that? All

17:07

the kings and horses. All

17:10

the games, man. It

17:14

should have been you. Hello. Hello.

17:45

Hello. Hello,

17:49

Raina. Raina,

17:57

can you hear me? Fried.

18:04

right? It. Is we moved?

18:06

Ear piece. Please,

18:27

We. Knew. Who

18:32

are you likely believe? You. This

18:36

place has. Doing

18:39

that you can't see your.

18:47

Ah, Ah,

18:50

My head, rendering you

18:53

unconscious was inherited. What

19:00

is the last thing you remember. Some.

19:04

We. Must determine if you have a

19:07

curse. Words. The

19:09

last thing. You remember. The

19:12

some kind of for see this. A

19:16

try to scenes. E

19:20

S. The

19:22

Guardian. Released in

19:25

dire moment to deal with

19:27

a very specific threat. Unfortunately

19:30

for your friends, it does not as

19:33

a nice but any threat. And

19:36

it does it's job. Very

19:38

well. What

19:40

else do you remember? We're.

19:44

We're trapped and it burned

19:46

out. Tram Go on the

19:49

web. Maintenance

19:52

Taxes still has the

19:54

others escaped. Into

19:57

one of the dry storage space. Is

20:01

the primary rules. The. Guardian

20:03

can reach them there. They

20:06

will only be able to run so far and. Just.

20:11

Let with talked to lot

20:13

of them will sustain. This

20:17

to me. I.

20:20

Am I sent back down for you

20:23

protections as much as ours. He.

20:25

Will see why it a moonlit. Dot.

20:35

Isn't it? You

20:37

do concerts in with the head injury. At

20:41

you did ask for now who are you.

20:45

We. Do

20:51

Klein a doctor.

20:55

Magical. Scientists.

20:57

Since we. Did

21:00

in prices things air.

21:04

Is being. Made

21:09

us proud. Now.

21:14

Those times or past. Suffice.

21:20

Let. This

21:23

shit is anything but abandoned.

21:27

Anything dead came here

21:29

to help. Corporations sent

21:31

us. Now we know

21:33

they did. What

21:35

were you told about? The

21:37

said that it was damaged,

21:40

slowly disintegrating. Do nothing else.

21:43

Nothing about what happens here. They

21:46

gave us the to Kotex

21:48

information on it. Reveals

21:50

thinks is. lose

21:58

your name You

22:01

know ours after all. Chambers.

22:07

Wilson Chambers. No nice. Now

22:12

we are acquainted. Why do you keep saying we?

22:16

Yes. Why indeed?

22:20

Please, can you just untie me?

22:24

Are you interested?

22:27

I can help you. You can help? Yes,

22:33

I'm a doctor. You can help? Stand

22:38

up. Sweet,

22:43

howdy. Stand up, Wilson.

22:48

No. Okay,

22:51

okay. You

22:53

are not here to help anyone. There

22:56

is no one left here to help. Let

22:59

me show you all that remains. How

23:05

are we? Water.

23:09

Crook, religion. Solid waste. Everything

23:13

humans leave is now weak. Wait

23:18

until I can see we got the light. Walk anyway.

23:22

Any text, electrical, magnetic energy? A

23:25

machine from above can get down here. Howdy

23:27

cannot access this facility. Only

23:30

the upper levels. What's

23:32

going on? This

23:35

light, it cannot see.

23:40

The two of you are here. Am I

23:42

awake? Where are

23:44

you? I wouldn't breathe today, please.

23:51

The glow's inside. No,

23:56

no, too far. We

24:13

consume and discard and think nothing of

24:16

what we cast out until it finally

24:18

decides to consume us. The

24:21

fright is in the sea, machines, pipes, the

24:24

brightness and cake. In

24:26

the center of the room. Closer.

24:29

Howl. We

24:34

write an

24:37

electronic timer. A

24:42

simple device used to initiate other devices.

24:45

It emits just a tiny bit

24:47

of electromagnetic energy. Just

24:50

enough. What

24:53

is that? Tell

24:55

us what you see. It's

24:59

a mass of something.

25:02

Something dark. In

25:05

the tank. Deep in the tank. Yeah.

25:11

Look around, Wilson. The

25:14

walls. The

25:16

ceiling. My god. It's

25:19

a very boring everything. Black.

25:23

Right. What is it? It's

25:26

an initial form. When

25:29

they release, it operates like a

25:31

form. Taking to the

25:33

air or space. I

25:36

need an atmosphere. A

25:40

small amount escaped into the halo

25:43

before the aperture was filled. That

25:48

grew into this. And

25:51

in a few hours. It

25:55

processed the crew on this side. And

25:58

invaders who started everything. Except

26:01

for the ones who killed themselves first, of

26:03

course. And when they

26:05

do, they do better. Once

26:08

the crew on this side of the ship had been

26:10

consumed, it moved here.

26:14

The only source of biomass left

26:16

to it. It

26:20

will consume the contents of the tank, a

26:23

paltry meal, until that too

26:26

is gone. If

26:28

it had access to technology, machinery,

26:31

it would

26:33

assimilate that and

26:35

draw power there. But

26:38

the security lockdown prevented that, of

26:40

course. Much

26:42

effort on our part was spent luring

26:44

and trapping it in this place. Much

26:48

was sacrificed. I

26:50

still don't understand the flair of the

26:52

timeline. It sees electro-magnetics,

26:55

hence the reaction to the timer. It

26:58

also sees a specific band of thermal radiation

27:00

between 0.75 and 1000 microns, to be exact.

27:06

The infrared. The flare burns

27:08

much hotter than that. They

27:10

cannot see our body heat through it. Why

27:13

are you showing me this? So that

27:16

you will understand why you must do what we

27:18

are going to insist you do. If

27:21

you really are here to help, there is one way.

27:27

Here is your communication ear, people. Reconnect

27:31

with your friends. Tell

27:33

them that you are alive. Tell

27:35

them to make their way here. Why?

27:40

So that we can kill them. What?

27:43

You are here to save this ship. It

27:45

is imperative that that does not happen. We

27:49

know it is much to have.

27:56

But you have not seen even a fraction of

27:58

the holes in the ship. Clearly

28:01

it's been through a great deal. On the other side

28:03

of the aperture, it

28:05

has much to consume. The

28:09

science team, the other

28:11

systems, the lab culture, advanced

28:14

tech and machines, it will have

28:16

begun to reform itself. It

28:19

is waiting for

28:21

the door to open. The

28:25

door must never open. Do not

28:27

decline. Communicate with your friends.

28:30

Bring them here. We

28:33

know it is difficult to say. We

28:35

will tell them. We

28:37

will send you home to justice. If

28:40

you want to do that, you

28:42

will. I don't understand. I

28:45

have to do what you sent here to

28:47

do. Why? Because

28:52

it's the only way. It's the only way I can

28:54

put it. We all

28:56

have a talk together. That

29:02

is how they offer you. Redemption.

29:08

Redemption is the most useless of

29:11

motivation. Do you know why? Because

29:13

redemption is a fallacy. There is

29:16

no redemption. There are only the

29:18

choices we make and there's no

29:20

possibility. We

29:24

need the most to live

29:26

with them forever.

29:30

That is what life is. Take

29:34

your earpiece. Do

29:37

what must be done. It

32:06

around. What? Turn

32:08

around. Now. How could

32:10

it? It's Seattle. What's

32:12

that? What's that? It's over the name. You're

32:15

not leaving the convention. No. No. No.

Chapter 3. Chapter 3. What?

32:38

Travel from there. ey. What?

32:43

A Chapter

32:52

3. What?

33:07

A Chapter

33:13

3. I

33:19

made

33:22

a room

33:25

in North Tunguna. All

33:27

kinds of peace and fun. I'm

33:33

okay. I'm okay.

33:38

Check it in.

33:41

You are in the door of the

33:44

Queen Center. You are in the door

33:46

of the Queen Center. You are in

33:48

the door of the Queen Center. And

33:51

there is no other door. Why

33:55

did you bring it? I'm

33:58

in the door of the Queen Center. I think I'm in

34:01

trouble. Mr.

34:03

Kaidan. Is

34:05

it the... the hyper-stip-tip-tip? No.

34:10

Oh, there was a stuff outside it. It's

34:13

breaking through. Right

34:15

now, can you hear me? No.

34:20

I... I

34:22

didn't realize. I think

34:24

I... I think

34:27

I'm in trouble. Oh,

34:31

God! I

34:33

understand that part.

34:38

I understand that part. I understand that

34:41

part. I understand that

34:43

part. Yes.

34:46

Yes, I can hear it. Torch.

34:56

What do you mean? I

35:27

mean that part. I don't

35:29

know. I don't know.

35:31

I just... I

35:34

don't know. I'm

35:37

gonna go home, then. Don't get around

35:39

the door. I'm gonna get you. And

35:44

do what? I...

35:50

I... do what?

35:54

I... I... I...

36:05

I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming. I'm

36:09

trying to find me. I need to look at her

36:13

knee. I need to pull

36:15

her up. Are you serious? No!

36:19

My leg. It's

36:26

very... I'm

36:30

your Canadian.

36:33

I'm okay this

36:36

time. It's

36:38

got me, it grabbed me. It's

36:42

bad. It's

36:47

bad. It's gone now.

36:51

Right. I think it's dead. Electraform

36:55

consumes biological material for energy. Also

36:57

attempting to control technology and machinery.

37:01

There was 71% likelihood it would attempt

37:03

to overtake the machines in this room

37:06

with the same level of focus as consuming your

37:08

body for energy. So,

37:12

so went for the machines since they

37:15

were in front of it. You

37:18

used this remaining energy to try and overtake them. Correct.

37:22

It's time to face with the processing machines'

37:24

causes. You used this remaining energy faster. It

37:27

expended that energy and did not have enough to

37:30

consume you. You...

37:34

you saved me. Asset

37:36

chamber is emission critical asset. Well,

37:41

thanks all the same. This device is

37:44

designed to assist you in your assignment here.

37:47

Yeah. Yes,

37:49

well, well then, Stu, do you

37:51

have any idea then how I can get

37:53

this? The

37:55

rest... Shackles

37:58

off. Hello?

38:02

Hello? Hello?

38:10

Hello? Hi.

38:17

Hello? Well, you've been... Hi.

38:22

Your vows would see you. And

38:25

you think you... ...think

38:28

you're... ...who is

38:30

that? That

38:33

you... ...who is that? You're

38:36

not gonna hear yourself.

38:39

You're gonna hear it from me. I

38:42

can't... ...you can't... ...you

38:45

can't hear me. You can't hear

38:47

me. I

38:51

do understand you. I'm

38:53

so sorry. It's great. We've

38:57

been hard done. A little

38:59

bit of... I'm

39:11

fine. I'm

39:13

not fine. Please

39:18

don't shoot. Please

39:23

don't shoot. Dr.

39:29

Klein... Klein...

39:33

...Gline, no. No, no. No.

39:40

Kodak. Cleary. I

39:43

think... ...Dr. Klein has collapsed. I'm

39:46

not sure she's breathing. Can you verify? Standing.

39:52

Klein, Dr. Maria. We

39:54

have seven scientific research

39:56

technicians. VHD biochemistry. VHD

40:00

What's your condition? Doctor

40:03

Kline is not breathing. Her heart

40:05

rate is intermittent, invading. A

40:07

large resuscitation of Doctor Kline

40:09

is not recommended. What? Why

40:12

is she dying? You have only two of the emergency units

40:14

on the floor. I move blind. Additionally,

40:16

analysis of poison pollution, phasing,

40:19

or using the phthalic chemical

40:21

disorder. Is there anybody on

40:23

that? Who lost her egg stress? Very

40:25

rightly. Doctor Kline is a danger

40:27

to her health and others. The

40:30

authority is subject to the only one. Those

40:32

are very good points, but she's

40:35

not well. She's speaking

40:37

correctly. Father, neither

40:40

are you. I've talked

40:42

about the chest, heart,

40:46

and her jucnut. Come

40:49

on. God!

40:52

In Doctor

41:07

Kline's epidermis has been covered by a

41:09

life-form encountered previously. Currently, it covers 79%

41:11

of her body. Oh

41:14

my God. How

41:16

is it? Doctor Kline is

41:19

now in cardiac arrest. Okay.

41:22

Okay. Injecting. You

41:29

have to be still. Real healthy. Doctor

41:37

Kline, can you hear me? Doctor?

42:05

Do you even know

42:07

how to use a rifle? I

42:14

shot a pendant, and I played pitches

42:16

as well. And

42:19

that was a powerful rifle, however it was

42:21

a classic. This is a facetious question.

42:26

But you

42:29

know more than we did the first

42:31

time we held one. We

42:36

had never fired a rifle before a few

42:38

days ago. Before

42:42

a few days ago, we

42:47

had never done many things.

42:52

Perhaps you will survive

42:55

longer here. You

43:02

saved us. Why?

43:09

Why? You weren't dying.

43:11

You were.

43:18

We watched you when

43:20

you arrived. What? Through

43:23

the security cameras. We

43:25

watched you. We

43:27

could not hear, but we could

43:29

see. Leaving

43:32

the individual to die to save the others

43:36

was a correct choice. You

43:40

pushed back a bit. Stephen's died.

43:44

And what did that earn you? He

43:46

ultimately betrayed you. Stole,

43:49

the one escape option you

43:51

had from this place left

43:53

you to die. I'm a doctor.

43:55

I took those. You...

44:00

One day

44:02

before and you name

44:04

yourself. We

44:14

may have more

44:16

in common than we

44:19

believed. I

44:25

saw your body, your

44:27

skin. Yes,

44:32

unpleasant to look at, isn't it? More

44:36

pleasant? To

44:39

live with, viscera. How

44:41

did it? It touched us.

44:44

It touched you. Days

44:46

ago, or hours,

44:50

or weeks.

44:52

What is your... Why,

44:55

Wilson, did

44:58

it touch you too? My

45:01

legs. Show

45:04

us. Show

45:06

us. Oh,

45:16

God. Oh,

45:19

goodness. What

45:22

do I do? Cline?

45:27

Is it... Providence,

45:31

or... A happenstance?

45:36

I never can tell. Not

45:38

with it. Not

45:41

with her. The

45:43

pain, even under the small

45:45

area. How

45:48

do you live with it? It's

45:50

covering most of you now. How do you stand

45:52

it? I can't imagine. A

45:56

human mind can stand

45:59

many... It

46:07

has its benefits as well. The

46:10

pain? The life form. Blended

46:13

with you. I don't

46:15

understand. It is a shame it

46:17

ultimately kills the host. We

46:19

never thought of this

46:22

research tract. How

46:24

long? It

46:27

depends on many factors. None

46:30

of them will encourage you. How

46:32

long? Two weeks at most.

46:35

But... You

46:37

will be mad long before then.

46:41

The pain. The

46:43

voices. Look

46:46

at us. We

46:49

were not always this way.

46:52

There must be something. There

46:54

isn't. Then it will be. If

46:56

we can remove it before... Removing the surface growth

46:59

will do nothing. Amputation

47:03

of both legs below the waist might

47:05

prove effective. In

47:07

your case, if completed soon

47:10

enough. I

47:12

cannot truly say... About God.

47:15

And who would perform

47:17

that procedure? I act against it. To

47:20

the med-pane. I must talk to again, run

47:22

the... Amputation procedure myself.

47:24

You must accept your place

47:26

now. You

47:29

must continue the work. What

47:32

work? We will be gone

47:35

soon. Hm...

47:39

We... We

47:42

were wrong about you. But...

47:48

You will have to become much... Stronger

47:53

by our commitment. going

48:00

on? I'm listening. Did

48:03

it make contact with the machines here? It

48:07

reduces power. You

48:13

will have to become smarter as well.

48:16

What's happening? You

48:18

didn't drain it of power. You gave

48:21

it power. It is

48:23

activating the recycling system. You

48:25

have seconds before the room is sealed. Move.

48:28

You will go. Can

48:31

you move? No. No. No.

48:35

No. No. No. Leaving

48:38

you. You

48:47

really are an imbecile. Now

48:50

what will you do? The security

48:52

barrier is down. Override.

48:55

There must be an override. There

48:57

is no override. You're

49:00

leaving. You're leaving.

49:03

You're leaving. You're sinking into the floor. Why

49:05

are they sinking into the floor? Because this

49:07

room is a compactor. The walls

49:10

are moving. The floor is not

49:12

moving. No. The

49:14

walls will not move. It is in

49:16

addition to the refuse in the center.

49:20

Okay. Okay. So

49:22

that the floor can open and drop everything

49:25

into the classroom. Okay. I'm

49:27

showing the waiting room. I

49:29

told you. I

49:33

told you. I'm leaving. No,

49:36

thank you. You're

49:39

welcome. I'm going to be able to wait for

49:41

a long time. There is no override. There

49:45

is no override. No.

49:50

What is the reason? Even when

49:52

you find them wrong. I'm...

49:56

I'm... I'm... I'm... I'm...

50:00

the door. I'm

50:08

not walking any closer. Yes. I'm

50:11

on the side of my feet. Why am I? Hold

50:14

your hand against the panel. Left.

50:17

Or palm. Why are you doing it? I

50:20

think it's happening. You

50:26

have very little of the life on this. The life on? What

50:28

is it? Keep

50:30

your hand where it is.

50:33

The panel

50:36

is flickering. The life on

50:39

this connection is even if you're empowering

50:42

it. You will need to control

50:44

it. To do what? To

50:47

shut down the system, obviously. Feel into the panel.

50:51

Feel through the panel. I can't

50:53

feel how to do that. It is your path. It

50:58

wants to live at which you will guide you.

51:00

None of this. Any?

51:11

There. There. God. You

51:14

feel it, don't you, Alfred? The

51:16

panel. The

51:18

connection. The program

51:20

you're seeing. You can feel

51:23

it. The program. You

51:26

can feel it. If it is anything for

51:28

you like it is for me. Like

51:30

lines and space. Connected

51:34

by color. Connected

51:37

by shape and

51:39

somehow color and shape and lines.

51:43

They make sense. They make

51:46

sense. They

51:49

find me. Yes. I

51:53

think. No, I think. I

51:56

find the command to flip the system. I

52:01

see you, boy. I can't remember. Focus

52:03

on the phone. Program me. You,

52:06

just a cat, enter. What?

52:10

What are they? Social. My

52:12

team is without a system. I

52:15

can't remember what they think. Oh,

52:17

worth it. I'm

52:20

not crying. I'm afraid of

52:22

finder. In the car with you. I'm

52:27

sorry. I

52:30

see it. Good. Take

52:32

power. Thank

52:38

you. I do it. I

52:44

do it. Now,

52:54

in your whole room. Yeah.

53:01

I'm sorry. I'm

53:03

sorry. I'm sorry. I'm

53:06

sorry. I'm sorry. I'm

53:08

sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm

53:12

sorry. What? What?

53:19

What? I

53:21

think that it should all

53:23

end like this. After

53:27

everything. My

54:01

daddy. Bobby!

54:17

Bobby! Bobby!

54:22

Bobby! Billy!

54:28

Bobby! Bobby! Logan!

54:36

Wake up! Did

54:40

we? We did. We're

54:43

going to go on. Yeah. What's

54:47

happening? We are moving, Logan. We

54:50

are on a conveyor. I

54:54

had to go through it. It looks like a...

54:56

Go on. It is. It's

54:58

a burner. It's supposed to be reached and the conveyor will

55:00

finally begin to be digested away. You are not. Over

55:04

to my view. I am. Now

55:11

would you jump? No, not yet. There

55:14

is a service platform coming up. We will

55:16

jump there. Otherwise, the mechanic of the

55:18

conveyor will shut up. I

55:20

see it. No.

55:26

No? No. No? No,

55:29

I will leave. Fine.

55:48

Fine. Dr.

55:52

Kine. Dr.

55:54

Kine. You shut me off. the

56:00

conveyor why would you do that you could not pull

56:02

us both off we thought it was

56:04

better only one of us died instead of both

56:07

you can't save everyone Wilson it

56:21

will power up soon the

56:23

end will be relatively

56:26

painless

56:33

it was too much to ask of you you

56:37

were not strong enough you

56:50

will come to understand them you

56:53

will not like what you hear

56:58

I think what

57:01

what life

57:06

form in

57:09

every way covering everything

57:16

that is the EM field generator for

57:18

the furnace it dampens

57:21

or accelerates the plasma reaction a powerful

57:24

piece of technology it will

57:26

allow the life form to grow and take over

57:29

the remainder of the ship once it consumes it

57:31

you have no

57:35

way of

57:43

knowing what I did

57:45

do it This

58:00

is for the best, Wilson. You

58:03

were the best. No. It's

58:06

over. Be

58:08

away. It

58:11

does not matter now. Done. Wilson.

58:17

Throw away your note. Fine. There

58:20

is... one possibility.

58:24

No. What happened

58:26

to you, Wilson? What

58:28

happened to you, Wilson? It

58:31

made you this way. This

58:34

insufferable non-realist. No,

58:39

ma'am. How did you feel? Only

58:46

when you were a child. No.

58:52

No. No.

58:56

I tried. I

58:59

judge you. I said, what do you think? I

59:04

sealed them in. What

59:12

had happened when

59:15

the quarantine broke? Didn't

59:19

it really break?

59:22

That's not right. It

59:25

was more like all the

59:27

containment cells. Like

59:29

they just opened.

59:34

All at once. That

59:36

would be impossible, but... There

59:41

was no warning. The lights were all

59:43

green. We... Everything

59:50

was loose in a second. All the iterations,

59:54

all the platforms, all

59:56

the versions... Admissions

1:00:00

in the back bay were

1:00:04

taken first. They

1:00:08

screamed and staked. They

1:00:12

broke the spell. We all ran. I

1:00:16

was at the front of the Beta Lab using

1:00:18

the sequence encoder. I was closest.

1:00:24

I lunged through the first containment doorway,

1:00:26

then the second, then... Everyone

1:00:30

was coming. Yelling

1:00:33

fear almost there to the doors.

1:00:37

They weren't going to make it. The

1:00:39

life orbs were too fast. They would overtake

1:00:42

them and then... ...break

1:00:44

through and if that happened, they

1:00:47

weren't going to make

1:00:49

it. That's what I

1:00:51

told myself. That's what I

1:00:54

told myself. I

1:00:58

shut the doors. I sealed them

1:01:01

in. Dr.

1:01:08

Fabian, she stopped.

1:01:13

She stopped right in front of the door. She

1:01:20

stared at me. She

1:01:23

stared at me as they took

1:01:25

her. She stared

1:01:27

at me as she's going

1:01:30

to be part of me. Still screaming

1:01:32

until there was nothing left

1:01:34

to scream. Everything was black

1:01:36

and falling. And rising

1:01:39

and... They

1:01:45

sealed them in. How

1:01:51

could we judge anyone, Wilton? We

1:02:06

were on a cliff, on Earth. My

1:02:08

sister, she dropped her. She

1:02:16

dropped her backpack. It

1:02:18

was held

1:02:21

to a ledge. She

1:02:23

put after it a little bit longer, but she

1:02:25

didn't anyway. She's

1:02:30

with the girl and grabbed onto the frog. I

1:02:35

think I could

1:02:38

have reached her. I

1:02:40

think I could have climbed down. When

1:02:46

I just stand, stood

1:02:51

there, I was terrified.

1:02:58

She looked at me. She

1:03:01

drove 400 feet to the bottom and she stayed

1:03:04

at me and she fell. I

1:03:08

looked, I watched

1:03:12

her become smaller and

1:03:15

smaller. I

1:03:22

let her go. You

1:03:30

were a child. It

1:03:34

was not your fault. And

1:03:39

if you were made to feel so, then you

1:03:42

were wronged. Has

1:03:48

no one ever told you that, Wilson? No.

1:03:56

No, Wilson. I'm

1:03:59

afraid there is more pain. I have a pain to come

1:04:01

for you, but I can give

1:04:03

you this one solace. From

1:04:07

this point on, this

1:04:12

will make you stronger. Maybe

1:04:20

you're right. Maybe your redemption is

1:04:22

a lie, but even if it is,

1:04:24

it doesn't mean we should stop trying. Maybe

1:04:30

the trying is the important thing. Please,

1:04:38

Dr. Klein, please don't make

1:04:40

me leave without you. Just...

1:04:45

Let me try. Hello?

1:04:56

Okay, Wilson. Okay.

1:05:03

You win. You

1:05:09

will have to open this door into the furnace. The

1:05:13

door will not open until the furnace completes

1:05:15

its cycle. Unless...

1:05:19

there is an emergency. The

1:05:21

EEM cell generator inhibits or accelerates the

1:05:23

production of plasma in the furnace. If

1:05:27

it were to malfunction, then plasma would

1:05:29

begin generating too quickly. The

1:05:32

security protocols would open all interior

1:05:35

bulkheads. Briefly. Briefly?

1:05:41

The idea, Wilson, I imagine, is to allow

1:05:43

anyone inside the plasma furnace area to escape. Before

1:05:48

it is ejected into space. The

1:05:51

furnace will eject into space. No.

1:05:54

The entire recycling center will eject.

1:05:58

Do you see the door in the opposite... wall from

1:06:00

this one. Yes,

1:06:02

it's sealed too. Once the

1:06:04

malfunction happens and the plasma begins generating

1:06:06

beyond the level that can be contained,

1:06:09

it will open along with this door.

1:06:11

You will have 60 seconds to extricate both

1:06:14

of us, or

1:06:16

we will be sucked into space right

1:06:19

as a massive explosion of plasma

1:06:21

occurs. Oh,

1:06:23

God. It gets worse.

1:06:27

There is only one way to cause a

1:06:29

malfunction of the EM field generator Wilson in

1:06:31

your position. Can you

1:06:33

guess what it is? My

1:06:38

passenger. There

1:06:41

will be more pain this time. Assuming

1:06:44

you can even succeed, of course.

1:06:46

You failed at controlling the simple

1:06:48

panel before. The EM field generator

1:06:51

is significantly more. Please.

1:06:54

Please, stop. Please. You

1:06:56

can do it. Wilson,

1:07:00

we failed necessary

1:07:02

to tell you the way

1:07:06

the life formability works. The

1:07:09

more you use it, the more it spreads.

1:07:14

And using it to do this.

1:07:18

I won't be able to remove

1:07:20

it, will I? Even

1:07:23

with amputation. We

1:07:25

don't believe so.

1:07:30

Wilson, you

1:07:32

do not have to do this. In fact,

1:07:34

you would be foolish to try. What

1:07:37

do I do? You

1:07:39

should leave us. You

1:07:41

made a similar choice recently, and... I do.

1:07:47

As you wish. The

1:07:51

bowhead in front of you, the one painted

1:07:53

red. Behind

1:07:57

it is the field generator. Touch

1:08:00

it. Yeah. Life

1:08:04

is covering it. We

1:08:06

are doomed now. You

1:08:09

will have to feel through it. It

1:08:12

will be more difficult. It

1:08:15

will fight you once it knows what you are doing.

1:08:17

Why? You

1:08:21

will be trying to call the ejection of

1:08:23

the recycling center, which will

1:08:25

be discarded into the planet below and vaporized. That

1:08:29

will destroy it. That's

1:08:34

why you're letting me do this,

1:08:36

isn't it? To destroy

1:08:38

the life form, to stop it like you've been trying to do this

1:08:40

for a time. Do

1:08:44

you have your reasons, Wilson? We

1:08:46

have ours. Does

1:08:50

it change anything? That's

1:08:55

a normal head. Remember,

1:08:59

there will be pain. The

1:09:01

voices will be distinct.

1:09:07

You will be directly interacting with the life

1:09:09

form, not just the field generator.

1:09:13

I understand. Touch

1:09:15

the bowhead like the panel before. It

1:09:19

may take longer for you to find the machine in its systems. Give

1:09:22

the passenger time to grow and work.

1:09:27

Okay. One,

1:09:32

two, three. Wilson,

1:09:45

can you hear me? Wilson,

1:09:48

I hear you.

1:09:56

What do you think? Where

1:10:00

do you feel? Who's

1:10:03

there? A lion. In space.

1:10:06

Connected by color. Connected

1:10:08

by shape-cent. Please.

1:10:11

Make sense. You

1:10:13

should see the glowing of the generator. It

1:10:15

should radiate. I

1:10:18

see it. God. Look

1:10:21

for the light. The power is flowing through. What

1:10:26

is that? Like a lion wolf

1:10:28

in a glowing line in the dark connecting

1:10:30

all the other shapes. I

1:10:34

see it. I see it.

1:10:37

It's flowing through. It's

1:10:39

open. It is

1:10:41

so hot. It will feel

1:10:43

flexible. Yes.

1:10:47

Let your passenger move into it.

1:10:50

Direct it now. Okay. Yes.

1:10:56

Hold it. It

1:10:58

hurts. It will hurt

1:11:00

more. The light will be

1:11:02

different. It will hold what you are doing.

1:11:06

I should have. You must

1:11:08

focus this on me. It's

1:11:12

okay. Oh my God. It's

1:11:19

okay. It's okay. It's

1:11:22

okay. It's okay. I'll

1:11:26

just do it. Allow

1:11:28

the passenger to move. Allow

1:11:31

the passenger to move. Hold

1:11:38

it. Hold it. Hold

1:11:43

it. Hold it. Hold

1:11:47

it. Hold

1:11:49

it. Hold it. Hold

1:11:54

it. Hold

1:11:56

it. Hold

1:11:58

it. Hold it. Did we? We

1:12:02

did. Well

1:12:05

done, Wolfen. Well

1:12:11

done. Goodbye.

1:12:20

You still are at

1:12:22

the end of the song. Hold

1:12:24

on to me. I can't. You're

1:12:29

doing it. Keep

1:12:33

going. Wolfen.

1:12:39

You won't make it. You will. You

1:12:43

won't. You will.

1:13:05

You were right. That

1:13:08

was more difficult.

1:13:13

I am afraid it will get

1:13:16

more so, Wolfen. Fine.

1:13:20

Yeah. Life

1:13:23

on your body. Yeah.

1:13:26

Before the spread wasn't... I

1:13:28

told you. The more

1:13:30

you used the power, the faster the

1:13:33

spread. Did

1:13:35

you really think you did it all on your own,

1:13:37

Wolfen? You... you helped me. Only

1:13:41

a little. There's

1:13:44

an equilibrium between the EM filled and

1:13:47

the plasma furnace. In

1:13:50

order to ensure the furnace would blossom, I...

1:13:53

I tapped into it and

1:13:56

increased it as you deactivated the fuel

1:13:58

generator. It

1:14:01

was necessary, for

1:14:03

many reasons. You

1:14:07

knew this whole time. That

1:14:10

the life of its breath, that

1:14:13

I wouldn't be able to shut down their cycler above.

1:14:18

I wouldn't be able to leave you. I

1:14:23

hypothesized. You

1:14:26

lied to me. We

1:14:28

told you, there was more

1:14:30

pain to come,

1:14:32

Wolfen. And that

1:14:34

it would make you stronger. That

1:14:37

it was not a lie. Fine.

1:14:51

Marina. My

1:14:55

name is... Marina.

1:14:58

Marina. Marina, stay with me. We

1:15:00

can get you out. Please. You

1:15:06

heard them. You heard

1:15:08

it. But you said

1:15:10

that you're the raider. You...

1:15:13

you heard it. The

1:15:16

voices I heard yesterday. You

1:15:19

understood. You

1:15:22

understood. Yes, I understood what

1:15:26

it did, what it would do. You

1:15:39

see now. Marina.

1:15:44

The life form. The

1:15:47

only thing being created here. They

1:15:56

are worth things. Beyond

1:16:03

the aperture. Worth

1:16:07

the things. Look.

1:16:11

Oh, Vanna. The

1:16:13

aperture. Marina.

1:16:18

Please don't go. Please

1:16:20

don't. You're going to

1:16:22

be okay. Oh,

1:16:25

Vanna. You're

1:16:29

going to be... Strong.

1:16:45

Dr. Klein. Dr.

1:16:52

Klein. Stop

1:16:58

it. Stop

1:17:01

it. Stop it.

1:17:28

No. Dear

1:17:56

Lord. is
