1
00:00:39,748 --> 00:00:43,626
<i>This is the Salvare.
The Achaian threat has been neutralized.</i>

2
00:00:43,710 --> 00:00:45,086
- It fucking worked!
<i>- I repeat.</i>

3
00:00:45,170 --> 00:00:47,422
<i>The threat has been neutralized.</i>

4
00:00:47,505 --> 00:00:49,507
- <i>The neutrino gun worked!</i>
- Yeah!

5
00:00:50,508 --> 00:00:51,843
- Erik?
<i>- Wow!</i>

6
00:00:51,926 --> 00:00:54,596
I just blew that bastard
right out of the sky.

7
00:00:54,679 --> 00:00:56,264
<i>Niko, did you see that?</i>

8
00:00:56,347 --> 00:01:00,226
It was amazing, and it worked.
But will it work again?

9
00:01:01,728 --> 00:01:02,728
In time.

10
00:01:02,771 --> 00:01:05,148
<i>No. We don't have the luxury of time.</i>

11
00:01:05,231 --> 00:01:08,234
The amount of negative energy required
overloaded the system.

12
00:01:08,318 --> 00:01:09,652
That ring was the first of many.

13
00:01:09,736 --> 00:01:12,739
If we can't reload our weapon,
the Achaians will take it out.

14
00:01:13,907 --> 00:01:17,202
So, what now, Niko? What do we do now?

15
00:01:17,285 --> 00:01:18,620
We've played our hand.

16
00:01:20,205 --> 00:01:22,248
There's really only one way to find out.

17
00:01:25,335 --> 00:01:27,921
<i>Authorization, Cas Isakovic.</i>

18
00:01:28,630 --> 00:01:30,965
We're going back to Earth,
you motherfucker.

19
00:01:52,695 --> 00:01:53,695
You did it.

20
00:01:57,408 --> 00:01:58,827
I knew that you would.

21
00:02:00,578 --> 00:02:01,578
It's not over yet.

22
00:02:04,374 --> 00:02:05,667
Is he in there?

23
00:02:06,334 --> 00:02:07,334
Yeah.

24
00:02:07,669 --> 00:02:08,669
Be careful.

25
00:02:16,010 --> 00:02:17,010
Seth,

26
00:02:17,804 --> 00:02:20,723
relations between humanity and the Achaia,

27
00:02:21,349 --> 00:02:24,561
to state the obvious, are in a bad spot.

28
00:02:26,062 --> 00:02:28,940
There's been distrust on... on both sides,

29
00:02:30,233 --> 00:02:33,236
but nothing that warranted
an attack on the Salvare.

30
00:02:34,779 --> 00:02:36,197
Building a secret weapon?

31
00:02:36,281 --> 00:02:38,241
A defensive weapon.

32
00:02:38,324 --> 00:02:40,702
Defending us against who, Niko?

33
00:02:40,785 --> 00:02:44,289
Some horrible, monstrous species
that saved your daughter's life?

34
00:02:44,372 --> 00:02:47,834
Everywhere that the Achaia go,
death follows.

35
00:02:47,917 --> 00:02:50,253
No, Niko. Wherever <i>you </i>go.

36
00:02:53,631 --> 00:02:57,135
And now you've brought
this personal vendetta back to Earth.

37
00:02:59,012 --> 00:03:00,805
You got some fancy new weapon.

38
00:03:01,848 --> 00:03:03,057
Big fucking deal.

39
00:03:03,892 --> 00:03:06,686
It's not a deterrent.
It's a goddamn mosquito bite.

40
00:03:07,270 --> 00:03:09,230
And the Achaians
will be forced to respond.

41
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:13,985
Unless you meet their demands.

42
00:03:15,278 --> 00:03:17,238
We've agreed to their demands.

43
00:03:18,740 --> 00:03:20,366
Well, now they have new ones.

44
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,079
What if artificial gravity's
creating too much of a counterforce?

45
00:03:25,163 --> 00:03:27,874
I mean, we could disable it
within the accelerator.

46
00:03:27,957 --> 00:03:30,376
I won't be able to work in there,
but, um, you could.

47
00:03:30,460 --> 00:03:32,086
Or not.

48
00:03:32,921 --> 00:03:35,882
I'm pickin' up a massive buildup
of Cherenkov radiation.

49
00:03:35,965 --> 00:03:37,967
Oh, shit. Another wormhole?

50
00:03:38,051 --> 00:03:40,094
It's not just one. Dozens of them.

51
00:03:40,178 --> 00:03:42,180
- Where?
- Everywhere.

52
00:03:52,565 --> 00:03:54,234
It's an Achaian invasion force.

53
00:03:57,779 --> 00:03:59,072
What are these new demands?

54
00:03:59,155 --> 00:04:00,155
One.

55
00:04:01,115 --> 00:04:04,577
Allow multiple Artifacts to land on Earth.

56
00:04:04,661 --> 00:04:07,413
Two. Accept their gifts.

57
00:04:08,456 --> 00:04:09,666
All of their gifts.

58
00:04:10,291 --> 00:04:12,126
Those fucking implants?

59
00:04:12,752 --> 00:04:15,421
Advanced tech
that will allow every last human

60
00:04:15,505 --> 00:04:17,423
to achieve his full potential.

61
00:04:18,007 --> 00:04:19,884
And three. Hmm.

62
00:04:24,264 --> 00:04:25,640
Destroy the Salvare.

63
00:04:26,140 --> 00:04:29,435
And that fucking neutrino weapon.
Fly it into the sun.

64
00:04:33,648 --> 00:04:35,316
You have 24 hours to decide.

65
00:04:37,735 --> 00:04:39,070
And if we refuse?

66
00:05:17,275 --> 00:05:19,527
<i>I understand that
the Achaia have new demands,</i>

67
00:05:19,610 --> 00:05:22,989
<i>but not only are they unacceptable,
they will be impossible to enforce,</i>

68
00:05:23,072 --> 00:05:25,533
<i>and at the same time,
they're impossible to ignore.</i>

69
00:05:25,616 --> 00:05:26,868
<i>We are out of options.</i>

70
00:05:26,951 --> 00:05:29,078
President Bhogal,
the fact that we are here at all

71
00:05:29,162 --> 00:05:32,915
shows that for the first time in
this fight, we have them running scared.

72
00:05:33,708 --> 00:05:36,085
Why don't we present a goodwill gesture?

73
00:05:37,086 --> 00:05:38,629
Agree to one of their requests

74
00:05:38,713 --> 00:05:40,673
and keep the other ones
for more discussion.

75
00:05:40,757 --> 00:05:43,551
<i>- Which would you suggest?</i>
- The Salvare.

76
00:05:43,634 --> 00:05:46,179
Giving the Achaia an inch isn't an option.

77
00:05:46,262 --> 00:05:48,723
- It... it's a death sentence.
- <i>Commander Breckinridge,</i>

78
00:05:48,806 --> 00:05:51,618
<i>I appreciate that you have more experience
with the Achaia than anyone...</i>

79
00:05:51,642 --> 00:05:54,103
Which give me more insight
into how they work than anyone.

80
00:05:54,187 --> 00:05:56,814
And with all due respect, sir,
that includes you.

81
00:05:56,898 --> 00:05:59,025
What they did to Seth
wasn't just for show.

82
00:05:59,525 --> 00:06:01,652
They want to enslave us all

83
00:06:01,736 --> 00:06:04,197
and put one of those damn things
in every person's head.

84
00:06:04,280 --> 00:06:07,408
<i>Versus destroying our planet, today.</i>

85
00:06:07,492 --> 00:06:09,952
We have temporarily leveled
the playing field

86
00:06:10,036 --> 00:06:12,372
and every second that I stand here
making my case to you

87
00:06:12,455 --> 00:06:15,083
takes time away from
figuring out how to actually beat them.

88
00:06:15,166 --> 00:06:16,959
Sir, just let me do my job.

89
00:06:19,420 --> 00:06:20,838
<i>When the clock runs out,</i>

90
00:06:21,798 --> 00:06:24,217
<i>I will be forced to agree to their terms.</i>

91
00:06:27,095 --> 00:06:30,390
You have the entire
USIC infrastructure at your disposal.

92
00:06:30,473 --> 00:06:32,141
Thank you, Madam Secretary.

93
00:06:33,559 --> 00:06:35,395
But what I need can't be found on Earth.

94
00:06:36,854 --> 00:06:38,314
I'll go warm up the shuttle.

95
00:07:12,515 --> 00:07:14,892
I almost gave up hope.

96
00:07:15,476 --> 00:07:17,937
- Erik.
- I should've known you'd make it back.

97
00:07:18,020 --> 00:07:20,314
- I should have had faith.
- No, it's okay.

98
00:07:20,940 --> 00:07:21,940
It's okay.

99
00:07:23,276 --> 00:07:25,528
I'm here. We're both here, okay?

100
00:07:33,035 --> 00:07:34,871
I think you dropped this.

101
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:44,088
I saw Jana...

102
00:07:44,172 --> 00:07:46,007
In the Artifact. I know.

103
00:07:46,090 --> 00:07:47,592
She's safe with your mom.

104
00:07:49,385 --> 00:07:52,305
She really is. I mean, Ava's stepped up.

105
00:07:55,808 --> 00:07:57,477
We have so much work to do.

106
00:07:58,144 --> 00:08:00,646
Okay.
All right, everyone. Gather round.

107
00:08:01,939 --> 00:08:03,441
Okay. Here's where we are.

108
00:08:04,650 --> 00:08:07,653
We have 57 Achaian rings
surrounding our solar system.

109
00:08:07,737 --> 00:08:11,199
Fifty-nine. Two more just joined
in the last few minutes.

110
00:08:11,782 --> 00:08:14,285
Fifty-nine. And we have
a weapon that can fire,

111
00:08:14,368 --> 00:08:16,579
what, one shot every three minutes?

112
00:08:16,662 --> 00:08:18,873
We've reduced the lag
to two minutes, 13 seconds.

113
00:08:18,956 --> 00:08:21,083
Still, by the time we get
a second shot out...

114
00:08:21,167 --> 00:08:23,878
We wouldn't. Not before one
of those fuckers blew us outta the sky.

115
00:08:23,961 --> 00:08:25,922
That's why the Achaia
aren't running scared.

116
00:08:26,005 --> 00:08:29,592
So how do we scare them, then?
We need to make being here so terrifying...

117
00:08:29,675 --> 00:08:32,011
That they open a wormhole
and get their asses back home.

118
00:08:32,094 --> 00:08:35,556
We keep trying that, but the Achaia
are infinitely more advanced than we are.

119
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,391
If we fight them at their game, we lose.

120
00:08:37,475 --> 00:08:40,353
Every time.
So we need to think outside the box.

121
00:08:40,436 --> 00:08:42,563
Find a way to beat them
they don't see coming.

122
00:08:42,647 --> 00:08:46,025
Basic asymmetric warfare.
So what do we know about the Achaia?

123
00:08:46,108 --> 00:08:49,362
- High-density neutrinos rip them apart.
- Their ships and the Achaia themselves.

124
00:08:49,445 --> 00:08:52,657
Are the Achaia
and their technology one and the same?

125
00:08:52,740 --> 00:08:55,034
If they are,
it makes me question their goals.

126
00:08:55,117 --> 00:08:56,661
I mean, they wouldn't want our planet.

127
00:08:56,744 --> 00:08:59,624
They have all the basic raw materials
they'd ever need floating in space.

128
00:08:59,664 --> 00:09:01,415
So they don't want what we've got,

129
00:09:01,499 --> 00:09:04,252
but they will blow up our planet
if we don't roll over on our backs?

130
00:09:04,335 --> 00:09:07,088
And blow up our heads from the inside out.
Don't forget that.

131
00:09:07,171 --> 00:09:08,631
It just doesn't make any sense.

132
00:09:08,714 --> 00:09:11,217
Because we still don't know enough
about them.

133
00:09:11,300 --> 00:09:15,346
It's the same goddamn problem we've had
since that Artifact landed on Earth.

134
00:09:16,305 --> 00:09:18,474
They are seemingly impenetrable.

135
00:09:18,558 --> 00:09:20,768
No. Actually, they're not.

136
00:09:21,602 --> 00:09:22,728
Not anymore.

137
00:09:24,522 --> 00:09:28,150
The vast majority of the Achaian ring
was reduced to dust.

138
00:09:28,234 --> 00:09:31,529
However, scattered among the dust cloud
are a few larger pieces.

139
00:09:31,612 --> 00:09:34,323
I'm thinkin' we send the shuttle out,
grab a piece,

140
00:09:34,407 --> 00:09:36,659
and if Lady Luck is dancing with us,

141
00:09:36,742 --> 00:09:39,453
she'll offer up
somethin' we can use to take them down.

142
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:42,540
It really is you, huh?

143
00:09:43,833 --> 00:09:44,833
All of you?

144
00:09:46,085 --> 00:09:47,378
Every last bit...

145
00:09:48,921 --> 00:09:49,921
and byte.

146
00:09:58,806 --> 00:10:00,433
We got a piece of the ring.

147
00:10:01,434 --> 00:10:04,437
I think we've got somethin'
a little more impressive than that.

148
00:10:13,154 --> 00:10:14,238
An Achaian.

149
00:10:22,330 --> 00:10:25,249
Are you sure
that thing can't access the ship?

150
00:10:25,333 --> 00:10:26,917
It can't access anything.

151
00:10:27,001 --> 00:10:28,669
I've placed a band-pass filter

152
00:10:28,753 --> 00:10:31,130
for the frequency range
we determined they exist in.

153
00:10:31,213 --> 00:10:32,715
I'll take your word for it.

154
00:10:34,091 --> 00:10:35,968
Why does this one look so muted?

155
00:10:36,052 --> 00:10:40,014
The ones I encountered
have been larger, brighter.

156
00:10:40,097 --> 00:10:43,643
It stands to reason it requires
some kind of energy source to survive.

157
00:10:43,726 --> 00:10:45,019
How long does it have?

158
00:10:45,102 --> 00:10:46,937
Based on lumen deterioration
of the creature

159
00:10:47,021 --> 00:10:50,816
since we brought it on board,
I'd say an hour, maybe a little more.

160
00:10:50,900 --> 00:10:53,611
And what if we provided it
with a power source?

161
00:10:53,694 --> 00:10:57,907
It might work, or it might be like
trying to plug you into a wall socket.

162
00:10:57,990 --> 00:11:00,409
Finish your scans,
and let's regroup in the med lab.

163
00:11:00,951 --> 00:11:02,995
Time's running out for all of us.

164
00:11:05,456 --> 00:11:08,709
DNA is your codin'.
Human codin'.

165
00:11:08,793 --> 00:11:12,588
My codin', at its most basic, is binary.
A bunch of zeros and ones.

166
00:11:12,672 --> 00:11:17,343
Now we have an analysis
into the Achaia at a microscopic level.

167
00:11:17,426 --> 00:11:19,053
This is what I've discovered.

168
00:11:20,346 --> 00:11:22,890
This is just a model of their DNA, right?

169
00:11:22,973 --> 00:11:25,184
No, this is an actual scan.

170
00:11:26,686 --> 00:11:28,145
Is something wrong?

171
00:11:28,729 --> 00:11:33,234
When we build models of our DNA,
we use the letters A, T, G, and C

172
00:11:33,317 --> 00:11:35,945
to represent the nitrogen bases,
symbolically, but...

173
00:11:36,570 --> 00:11:39,740
these characters are an actual part
of the makeup of these creatures.

174
00:11:39,824 --> 00:11:42,159
It's... odd.

175
00:11:42,243 --> 00:11:46,789
Computer code arranged like organic DNA,
utilizing the Achaian script.

176
00:11:46,872 --> 00:11:48,332
Okay. But why would the Achaia,

177
00:11:48,416 --> 00:11:51,836
who don't have eyes, ears, mouth,
or hands, need a written language?

178
00:11:51,919 --> 00:11:55,047
Maybe these things aren't the Achaia.

179
00:11:56,215 --> 00:11:58,175
Then who is it that we've been fighting?

180
00:11:58,259 --> 00:11:59,927
A completely artificial life-form.

181
00:12:00,010 --> 00:12:01,262
The evolution of you.

182
00:12:01,887 --> 00:12:04,432
So then what are the Achaia? Their makers?

183
00:12:05,015 --> 00:12:06,934
We never made it to their home world.

184
00:12:07,852 --> 00:12:09,061
Are they even there?

185
00:12:09,145 --> 00:12:11,397
Perhaps. Or maybe they died off eons ago.

186
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,441
- Or got killed off.
- It doesn't matter.

187
00:12:13,524 --> 00:12:15,404
These are the creatures
that we're dealing with.

188
00:12:15,443 --> 00:12:18,612
So now that we know what
they're made of, how do we fight them?

189
00:12:18,696 --> 00:12:21,699
Go to their home planet
and unplug the whole damn thing?

190
00:12:23,033 --> 00:12:24,201
I'm only half-joking.

191
00:12:24,285 --> 00:12:25,786
What about a computer virus?

192
00:12:26,495 --> 00:12:28,789
I mean, they are just fancy software.

193
00:12:28,873 --> 00:12:31,292
- How do we administer it?
- We hide it by writing malware.

194
00:12:31,375 --> 00:12:34,044
Iara's Achaian code wound up
overtaking her human, right?

195
00:12:34,128 --> 00:12:35,880
So reverse engineer that.

196
00:12:35,963 --> 00:12:39,008
I know it's crude, but our human code
rewrites their Achaian code

197
00:12:39,091 --> 00:12:41,135
and hopefully destroys them
in the process.

198
00:12:41,218 --> 00:12:42,218
Can you?

199
00:12:42,928 --> 00:12:44,180
It would take some time.

200
00:12:44,263 --> 00:12:46,348
- We don't have time.
- And we don't have Iara.

201
00:12:46,432 --> 00:12:48,851
How do we deploy this thing?

202
00:12:49,560 --> 00:12:52,146
- A Trojan horse.
- Like I said, malware.

203
00:12:52,229 --> 00:12:53,229
No.

204
00:12:54,231 --> 00:12:56,484
I mean like a flesh-and-blood version.

205
00:12:57,485 --> 00:12:59,403
We implant the virus into one of us.

206
00:13:02,948 --> 00:13:04,533
We don't have a spider to do that.

207
00:13:06,452 --> 00:13:07,536
We don't need one.

208
00:13:16,837 --> 00:13:19,632
So, as we know, every member
of the Salvare has a hard wire

209
00:13:19,715 --> 00:13:21,258
that goes into their brain stem.

210
00:13:21,342 --> 00:13:24,261
This is how we induce
and regulate Somatic sleep.

211
00:13:25,221 --> 00:13:27,681
We implant the virus
through the Soma needles.

212
00:13:27,765 --> 00:13:30,351
When the Achaian melds with it,
it catches it.

213
00:13:30,935 --> 00:13:33,395
Why would an Achaian even be tempted
to meld with a human?

214
00:13:33,479 --> 00:13:35,064
Our bodies are forms of hardware,

215
00:13:35,147 --> 00:13:37,399
so electricity flows
through each one of us.

216
00:13:37,483 --> 00:13:39,401
Exactly. And if it's hungry enough...

217
00:13:39,485 --> 00:13:42,363
So you want me to allow an Achaian
to possess one of the crew

218
00:13:42,446 --> 00:13:43,447
and feed off of them?

219
00:13:43,531 --> 00:13:45,950
Just long enough
to get it back down to the Artifact.

220
00:13:46,033 --> 00:13:48,202
And release it along with the malware.

221
00:13:48,994 --> 00:13:49,994
Yeah.

222
00:13:50,037 --> 00:13:51,037
Okay.

223
00:13:52,373 --> 00:13:53,457
What do I have to do?

224
00:13:54,458 --> 00:13:57,461
"Do"? No, you're not <i>doing </i>anything, Niko.

225
00:13:57,545 --> 00:14:00,089
I'm also not allowing one of my crew
to make that sacrifice.

226
00:14:00,172 --> 00:14:01,841
Exactly. It's a sacrifice...

227
00:14:01,924 --> 00:14:02,925
I volunteer.

228
00:14:06,053 --> 00:14:09,223
- Cas...
- Niko, you have a daughter that needs you.

229
00:14:10,224 --> 00:14:13,310
I'm not letting you take this on.
I'm doing it.

230
00:14:16,105 --> 00:14:17,773
I know how to beat the Achaia.

231
00:14:18,357 --> 00:14:19,357
So do I.

232
00:14:29,910 --> 00:14:31,036
You ready?

233
00:14:31,620 --> 00:14:33,622
Yeah. Yeah, I'm good.

234
00:14:34,373 --> 00:14:36,125
It can't be any worse than last time.

235
00:14:36,959 --> 00:14:37,959
Are we ready?

236
00:14:38,377 --> 00:14:39,879
On our end? Yeah.

237
00:14:40,462 --> 00:14:41,462
William?

238
00:14:41,797 --> 00:14:43,799
We're having trouble
engineering the virus.

239
00:14:44,383 --> 00:14:46,510
The Achaia operate
on a non-deterministic model,

240
00:14:46,594 --> 00:14:48,137
while human code is deterministic.

241
00:14:48,220 --> 00:14:49,680
I don't need to know why. When?

242
00:14:49,763 --> 00:14:52,808
We may have to implant the virus remotely
after the fact.

243
00:14:52,892 --> 00:14:54,018
Uh, that's not the plan.

244
00:14:54,101 --> 00:14:57,062
No. The plan was to implant it first,
then meld with the Achaian.

245
00:14:57,146 --> 00:15:00,232
The plan has changed because
that Achaian only has moments left.

246
00:15:00,316 --> 00:15:02,776
No, no, no, no, no.
This is all just way too risky.

247
00:15:02,860 --> 00:15:06,030
If the Achaia find out what we are up to,

248
00:15:06,113 --> 00:15:08,240
there's no telling
how they're gonna retaliate.

249
00:15:08,324 --> 00:15:10,367
We're out of options. We've got one shot.

250
00:15:10,451 --> 00:15:11,702
It's her life!

251
00:15:11,785 --> 00:15:15,247
Exactly. It's my life. Someone needs
to go in there. That someone is me.

252
00:15:15,331 --> 00:15:18,918
What we need is to come up
with a new game plan altogether.

253
00:15:19,001 --> 00:15:22,880
I won't be the first member of this crew
to sacrifice themselves for this mission.

254
00:15:22,963 --> 00:15:24,048
Niko, let me in.

255
00:15:27,134 --> 00:15:28,134
No.

256
00:15:29,637 --> 00:15:31,680
Niko, don't you fucking...

257
00:15:31,764 --> 00:15:34,124
Get me out of this.
Get these things out of my fucking neck.

258
00:15:39,063 --> 00:15:42,775
We could've let you die,
but we didn't. We saved you.

259
00:15:44,318 --> 00:15:46,946
And now we're taking you back
to your people,

260
00:15:48,072 --> 00:15:49,365
inside of me.

261
00:15:50,741 --> 00:15:52,826
I'm risking my life to save yours.

262
00:15:55,871 --> 00:15:59,166
Niko, open the door!

263
00:16:06,966 --> 00:16:07,966
Don't!

264
00:16:10,010 --> 00:16:11,387
Niko, don't!

265
00:16:13,847 --> 00:16:14,847
Niko?

266
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:24,440
No!

267
00:16:28,988 --> 00:16:30,114
Oh, fuck...

268
00:16:37,663 --> 00:16:39,957
How are Niko's autonomic systems?

269
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,711
Functioning as normal. Her heart rate
is good, if slightly elevated.

270
00:16:43,794 --> 00:16:44,962
Is that dangerous?

271
00:16:45,045 --> 00:16:48,132
- This is all still uncharted territory.
- Mm-hm. Mm-hm. What else?

272
00:16:48,215 --> 00:16:52,720
I'm reading reduced background rhythms
and triphasic waves within her brain.

273
00:16:53,220 --> 00:16:54,221
She's in a coma.

274
00:16:54,304 --> 00:16:55,784
It's presenting that way, yes.

275
00:16:55,848 --> 00:16:58,434
But I have no idea
if it's because she suffered an injury

276
00:16:58,517 --> 00:17:01,687
or if the Achaian are attempting
to take over her cognitive functions.

277
00:17:01,770 --> 00:17:05,441
Within her cells,
her stores of adenosine triphosphate

278
00:17:05,524 --> 00:17:08,027
are being depleted faster
than they can be replaced.

279
00:17:08,110 --> 00:17:10,612
Yeah. They're draining her
like a fucking vampire.

280
00:17:12,531 --> 00:17:14,491
- Hey. Let me in there. Now.
- We have an update.

281
00:17:14,575 --> 00:17:17,786
We were finally able to mask a human virus
within the Achaian code.

282
00:17:18,579 --> 00:17:21,290
You get this
within 90 centimeters of Niko,

283
00:17:21,373 --> 00:17:24,835
you press the large button,
and it'll transmit the virus remotely.

284
00:17:24,918 --> 00:17:27,212
No, fuck that. We're not doing that, okay?

285
00:17:27,296 --> 00:17:29,590
- I'll go in there, let it take over me...
- You can't.

286
00:17:29,673 --> 00:17:32,551
- You don't have Soma hardware...
- You don't think I know that?

287
00:17:37,723 --> 00:17:39,892
Niko wanted to do this herself.

288
00:17:39,975 --> 00:17:41,727
We should honor that.

289
00:17:48,358 --> 00:17:50,736
I'm doing this, alone.

290
00:17:50,819 --> 00:17:53,363
Now open that door, please.

291
00:17:55,866 --> 00:17:57,409
Don't get too close.

292
00:18:15,552 --> 00:18:17,387
I hope this works.

293
00:18:21,809 --> 00:18:22,809
Niko,

294
00:18:23,769 --> 00:18:25,020
can you hear me?

295
00:18:27,773 --> 00:18:29,608
It's okay.

296
00:18:30,776 --> 00:18:32,069
<i>Not...</i>

297
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:34,320
<i>her.</i>

298
00:18:43,664 --> 00:18:45,999
<i>Not...</i>

299
00:18:48,502 --> 00:18:49,670
<i>her.</i>

300
00:18:49,753 --> 00:18:50,753
No.

301
00:18:51,630 --> 00:18:52,756
I guess you're not.

302
00:19:07,896 --> 00:19:09,731
<i>Flesh is...</i>

303
00:19:12,025 --> 00:19:13,277
<i>primitive.</i>

304
00:19:13,360 --> 00:19:14,736
<i>Primitive...</i>

305
00:19:14,820 --> 00:19:18,198
<i>- Disgu... gusting.</i>
- Is she safe?

306
00:19:29,710 --> 00:19:31,170
Should be me in there.

307
00:19:37,426 --> 00:19:38,427
Hey, Cas.

308
00:19:40,429 --> 00:19:44,474
When I... lost my leg in the war...

309
00:19:47,019 --> 00:19:49,897
everybody else in my unit
came back in body bags.

310
00:19:51,857 --> 00:19:54,109
The guilt I felt was overwhelming.

311
00:19:55,861 --> 00:20:00,032
But none of it... none of it was my fault.

312
00:20:01,283 --> 00:20:04,536
They were dead.
I wasn't. It's just the way it is.

313
00:20:06,580 --> 00:20:07,789
Niko went in.

314
00:20:07,873 --> 00:20:09,208
You didn't.

315
00:20:11,210 --> 00:20:13,629
It's just the way it is.

316
00:20:18,258 --> 00:20:19,258
Okay.

317
00:20:35,525 --> 00:20:36,860
<i>Trapped.</i>

318
00:20:39,488 --> 00:20:41,573
And it's keeping you alive.

319
00:20:43,784 --> 00:20:47,412
If we bring you down to the Artifact,
will you release her?

320
00:20:47,496 --> 00:20:52,042
Will you resume talks, so we can come
to a peaceful solution together?

321
00:20:53,835 --> 00:20:55,254
<i>No.</i>

322
00:21:18,485 --> 00:21:22,489
The virus has been successfully
transmitted into Niko's Soma implant.

323
00:21:30,122 --> 00:21:31,540
Wish I could hug you, buddy.

324
00:21:33,083 --> 00:21:35,585
Yeah. Niko and Cas
are gonna be successful.

325
00:21:36,378 --> 00:21:37,504
I'll see you again.

326
00:22:00,110 --> 00:22:04,031
I abandoned Gabriel,
and I will not do the same thing to you.

327
00:22:05,157 --> 00:22:07,826
You can't stay, Ursula. It's not safe.

328
00:22:13,707 --> 00:22:16,126
We'll be together. Right till the end.

329
00:22:43,820 --> 00:22:44,946
I'm taking her in.

330
00:22:45,030 --> 00:22:46,615
- No, you're not.
- Yeah, I am.

331
00:22:46,698 --> 00:22:49,659
This is a USIC mission,
and I am the acting commander.

332
00:22:49,743 --> 00:22:52,579
You go in there and things go south...
You need to think about Jana.

333
00:22:53,747 --> 00:22:54,956
She can't right now.

334
00:22:59,628 --> 00:23:01,338
Oh, fuck!

335
00:23:03,423 --> 00:23:04,423
Hey.

336
00:23:08,095 --> 00:23:10,514
Look, I don't know
if you can hear me, but...

337
00:23:12,099 --> 00:23:13,642
we're at your Artifact,

338
00:23:14,768 --> 00:23:17,187
and we can't open the door ourselves.

339
00:23:17,270 --> 00:23:18,605
So...

340
00:23:25,195 --> 00:23:26,571
I'm taking her in, Erik.

341
00:23:27,489 --> 00:23:28,698
Come on, Niko.

342
00:23:33,620 --> 00:23:34,620
Come on.

343
00:23:36,123 --> 00:23:37,165
Come on.

344
00:23:39,626 --> 00:23:40,669
I got you.

345
00:23:55,267 --> 00:23:56,643
Come on, Niko. I got you.

346
00:23:57,811 --> 00:23:59,438
Come on. We're almost there.

347
00:24:00,147 --> 00:24:01,690
I got you, Niko.

348
00:24:01,773 --> 00:24:04,860
All right. You're back
with your kind now. Let Niko go.

349
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:21,710
Niko!

350
00:24:23,253 --> 00:24:25,297
Don't speak. Conserve your energy.

351
00:24:25,380 --> 00:24:27,507
- Did it work?
- I don't know.

352
00:24:36,266 --> 00:24:37,267
Ow!

353
00:24:43,732 --> 00:24:45,150
We did the right thing.

354
00:24:45,859 --> 00:24:47,027
Now it's your turn.

355
00:24:51,114 --> 00:24:53,992
Let us go. Take us back to Earth!

356
00:24:55,869 --> 00:24:59,289
Oh, my little darlings,
you're not going anywhere.

357
00:25:04,878 --> 00:25:06,671
Come on, Niko.

358
00:25:08,507 --> 00:25:10,342
The arrogance of your species.

359
00:25:10,425 --> 00:25:13,303
Making demands of us
like we're your equals.

360
00:25:14,721 --> 00:25:17,057
Like we'd ever
actually <i>listen</i> to you.

361
00:25:17,140 --> 00:25:18,642
What about negotiations?

362
00:25:18,725 --> 00:25:21,102
Oh, Cas, please!

363
00:25:21,186 --> 00:25:22,812
You're smarter than that.

364
00:25:23,647 --> 00:25:27,275
Negotiations
were only ever going to go our way.

365
00:25:27,776 --> 00:25:28,776
Yeah? What way is that?

366
00:25:30,529 --> 00:25:31,529
Peace.

367
00:25:31,988 --> 00:25:33,573
On your terms?

368
00:25:33,657 --> 00:25:35,158
Always.

369
00:25:38,495 --> 00:25:40,205
Yes. On our terms.

370
00:25:40,288 --> 00:25:42,123
Of course on our terms.

371
00:25:42,207 --> 00:25:45,168
Your species is the antithesis of peace.

372
00:25:45,877 --> 00:25:50,257
Being inside your body
was a metabolic nightmare.

373
00:25:50,340 --> 00:25:53,009
An insight to your primitive nature.

374
00:25:53,093 --> 00:25:55,178
All these... these juices.

375
00:25:55,262 --> 00:26:00,559
All this meat consuming other life,
chewing it up and then swallowing it

376
00:26:01,059 --> 00:26:02,644
and excreting it out,

377
00:26:02,727 --> 00:26:05,772
leaving your mess behind
for others to clean up.

378
00:26:06,356 --> 00:26:07,357
Cas!

379
00:26:08,692 --> 00:26:12,237
If we don't stop you,
you'll spread like a cancer.

380
00:26:12,862 --> 00:26:13,862
Everywhere.

381
00:26:15,907 --> 00:26:19,411
The Salvare itself will,
of course, provide some insulation,

382
00:26:19,494 --> 00:26:22,539
but only up to 2,600 degrees Celsius.

383
00:26:22,622 --> 00:26:23,790
At what distance?

384
00:26:24,374 --> 00:26:25,834
How close to the sun?

385
00:26:25,917 --> 00:26:27,711
Roughly 2.1 million kilometers.

386
00:26:27,794 --> 00:26:30,630
At that point, our shielding will fail,

387
00:26:30,714 --> 00:26:34,884
and the Salvare will start to disintegrate
until it burns up completely in the sun.

388
00:26:39,306 --> 00:26:40,640
You shouldn't be here.

389
00:26:44,019 --> 00:26:45,437
Neither should you.

390
00:26:47,897 --> 00:26:49,190
Cas?

391
00:26:51,067 --> 00:26:52,527
Please say something.

392
00:26:57,991 --> 00:26:59,909
Where do you think you're going?

393
00:26:59,993 --> 00:27:03,747
This is your mausoleum, my dear.
There's nowhere for you to go.

394
00:27:03,830 --> 00:27:05,790
She's injured. She needs help.

395
00:27:07,250 --> 00:27:08,627
Take us back to Earth.

396
00:27:09,127 --> 00:27:10,128
Why, Mommy?

397
00:27:10,712 --> 00:27:12,547
So you can leave me again?

398
00:27:15,258 --> 00:27:19,179
So you can load me up
with even more emotional trauma?

399
00:27:19,763 --> 00:27:22,015
So I can spend the rest
of my miserable life

400
00:27:22,098 --> 00:27:24,476
trying to fill the void
you gouged into my soul

401
00:27:24,559 --> 00:27:27,312
- by choosing everyone else...
- ...over me?

402
00:27:27,812 --> 00:27:29,606
So arrogant.

403
00:27:29,689 --> 00:27:31,608
So selfish.

404
00:27:32,776 --> 00:27:34,694
Do you remember the colony planet?

405
00:27:34,778 --> 00:27:37,656
Within ten years, the Paregam
would've been completely wiped out

406
00:27:37,739 --> 00:27:39,532
if the Decuma hadn't come along and...

407
00:27:39,616 --> 00:27:42,202
...scraped
your human filth away.

408
00:27:46,706 --> 00:27:50,627
Our makers brought us
into this universe for a reason.

409
00:27:50,710 --> 00:27:52,587
We cleaned up their messes.

410
00:27:53,380 --> 00:27:56,341
And now we'll clean up yours.

411
00:27:59,678 --> 00:28:01,638
Remember this?

412
00:28:02,972 --> 00:28:05,308
You can't be trusted
to do the right thing.

413
00:28:07,102 --> 00:28:09,270
Leave her alone. She's innocent.

414
00:28:12,273 --> 00:28:13,983
None of you are innocent.

415
00:28:45,140 --> 00:28:46,641
The virus is working.

416
00:28:47,225 --> 00:28:48,393
Niko!

417
00:28:50,353 --> 00:28:52,480
What have you done?

418
00:29:02,365 --> 00:29:04,909
It doesn't matter
what face you throw at me.

419
00:29:06,202 --> 00:29:07,787
I know who you are,

420
00:29:08,455 --> 00:29:09,748
and this ends now.

421
00:29:13,126 --> 00:29:15,628
Cas! We've gotta get out of here.

422
00:29:17,172 --> 00:29:18,172
Come on!

423
00:29:19,090 --> 00:29:20,508
Come on!

424
00:29:22,010 --> 00:29:22,927
Help me!

425
00:29:42,614 --> 00:29:45,283
<i>Communications have been lost
with the Mars colony</i>

426
00:29:45,366 --> 00:29:48,286
<i>and all operations
within the asteroid belt.</i>

427
00:29:48,369 --> 00:29:50,246
<i>There has been no word from the Salvare,</i>

428
00:29:50,330 --> 00:29:53,416
<i>which had set a course
to be neutralized within the sun.</i>

429
00:29:59,881 --> 00:30:00,965
How you doing?

430
00:30:02,258 --> 00:30:03,258
I'm okay.

431
00:30:03,968 --> 00:30:05,220
Just a concussion.

432
00:30:05,804 --> 00:30:06,804
Been through worse.

433
00:30:07,222 --> 00:30:10,809
Next mission out
I'm putting under your command.

434
00:30:13,478 --> 00:30:14,479
You've earned it.

435
00:30:18,233 --> 00:30:19,234
Thank you.

436
00:30:20,318 --> 00:30:24,072
Our solar system is being bombarded
by thousands of micro wormholes.

437
00:30:24,155 --> 00:30:26,407
Could there be
a natural phenomenon to explain it?

438
00:30:26,491 --> 00:30:27,700
None that I know of.

439
00:30:27,784 --> 00:30:29,369
Maybe superluminal communications.

440
00:30:29,953 --> 00:30:31,037
Orders from the Achaia?

441
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:32,997
All the rings have left our solar system.

442
00:30:33,081 --> 00:30:33,998
Then sleeper agents.

443
00:30:34,082 --> 00:30:35,166
Individuals or governments

444
00:30:35,250 --> 00:30:37,210
that are Achaian sympathizers.

445
00:30:38,211 --> 00:30:40,880
- We need William.
- We can't use our deep-space telescopes

446
00:30:40,964 --> 00:30:43,383
to search for them,
not with this interference.

447
00:30:43,466 --> 00:30:45,093
And we need to accept the possibility

448
00:30:45,176 --> 00:30:47,220
- that the Salvare...
- The Salvare made it.

449
00:30:49,097 --> 00:30:50,265
Is that understood?

450
00:30:50,765 --> 00:30:53,393
Understood. We'll keep looking.

451
00:30:54,227 --> 00:30:56,729
Niko, there's someone here to talk to you.

452
00:31:15,290 --> 00:31:17,000
Could I have made that decision?

453
00:31:18,042 --> 00:31:20,753
To, like, leave my husband
and daughter behind?

454
00:31:22,046 --> 00:31:23,046
No way.

455
00:31:23,506 --> 00:31:24,506
Marry me.

456
00:31:26,342 --> 00:31:29,554
Bernie, I love you, and I wanna
spend the rest of my life with you.

457
00:31:29,637 --> 00:31:32,891
I wanna have kids
and get married and... and everything.

458
00:31:32,974 --> 00:31:34,976
As long as it's with you. Okay?

459
00:31:36,728 --> 00:31:39,731
Okay. I'll...
Sorry, my brain just tends to gush when...

460
00:31:39,814 --> 00:31:41,649
No, no... Yes, yes, yes.

461
00:31:42,275 --> 00:31:43,818
You're right. I need to shut up.

462
00:31:43,902 --> 00:31:47,071
No, no, no, no, not your brain.
Your... your brain's amazing. No...

463
00:31:47,155 --> 00:31:48,489
Yeah. I wanna marry you.

464
00:31:48,573 --> 00:31:51,117
I wanna spend
the rest of my life with you.

465
00:31:57,707 --> 00:31:59,334
How did you get here?

466
00:32:00,460 --> 00:32:04,172
Grandma called someone in the army
and told them they had to come and get us.

467
00:32:04,672 --> 00:32:07,300
I think she kinda scared them.

468
00:32:11,638 --> 00:32:14,599
- Thank you.
- I believe I should be thanking you.

469
00:32:14,682 --> 00:32:17,393
The whole world should be thanking you.

470
00:32:26,903 --> 00:32:27,946
Welcome home.

471
00:32:38,331 --> 00:32:40,667
You're so big.

472
00:32:49,759 --> 00:32:51,479
A wormhole's appeared
in the Artifact field.

473
00:32:52,512 --> 00:32:53,638
Are they back?

474
00:32:53,721 --> 00:32:56,683
It's not the Achaia, Niko.
It's coming from the Salvare.

475
00:33:05,942 --> 00:33:06,942
You're here.

476
00:33:08,194 --> 00:33:11,197
Yeah. We tried announcin' our arrival
the old-fashioned way,

477
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:14,742
but with all this interference,
our signal wouldn't make it through.

478
00:33:14,826 --> 00:33:17,161
No, I mean you're actually here.

479
00:33:17,245 --> 00:33:18,245
Oh, that.

480
00:33:18,997 --> 00:33:20,206
In this field.

481
00:33:21,082 --> 00:33:24,002
It's a little Achaian trick.

482
00:33:24,711 --> 00:33:26,129
One that Ursula helped me refine.

483
00:33:29,298 --> 00:33:31,718
Uh, we're not quite at corporeal body yet,

484
00:33:31,801 --> 00:33:37,932
but Ursula thinks all the ingredients
are there, thanks to our Achaian friends.

485
00:33:38,016 --> 00:33:40,351
The signals bombarding the solar system,
are they Achaian?

486
00:33:40,435 --> 00:33:41,978
Achaian? No.

487
00:33:42,061 --> 00:33:43,688
Then where are they coming from?

488
00:33:44,188 --> 00:33:45,440
<i>From everywhere.</i>

489
00:33:46,065 --> 00:33:49,777
Hundreds of alien languages reaching out.

490
00:33:50,778 --> 00:33:52,030
What are they sayin'?

491
00:33:52,572 --> 00:33:56,576
I'm comparing the information
to our Achaian database now.

492
00:34:02,206 --> 00:34:04,250
I believe they're greetings.

493
00:34:06,753 --> 00:34:08,671
I think they're saying "thank you."

494
00:34:15,094 --> 00:34:17,180
Well, then who wants to go say hello?

495
00:34:19,849 --> 00:34:23,352
<i>Everything changed
the day the Achaia landed on Earth.</i>

496
00:34:23,853 --> 00:34:27,523
<i>The question was no longer,
"Is there life out there?"</i>

497
00:34:28,232 --> 00:34:29,734
<i>The question became,</i>

498
00:34:31,152 --> 00:34:32,737
<i>"How much life?"</i>

499
00:34:33,446 --> 00:34:35,782

510
00:35:05,311 --> 00:35:07,396

<i>It's full of life.</i>

00:35:15,822 --> 00:35:20,159
<i>There are hundreds of millions
of habitable planets in our galaxy.</i>

514
00:35:21,410 --> 00:35:23,579
<i>Millions of friends to make.</i>

515
00:35:24,914 --> 00:35:29,502
<i>Humans are simply one branch
of a whole new family tree.</i>

516
00:35:30,795 --> 00:35:34,549
<i>That's why we're headed back
out there again, despite the risks.</i>

517
00:35:34,632 --> 00:35:37,260
<i>To build something stronger.</i>

518
00:35:37,927 --> 00:35:39,220
<i>Something more.</i>

519
00:35:39,971 --> 00:35:42,098
<i>And the first step is to say...</i>

520
00:35:42,181 --> 00:35:43,450
- Hola.
- Bonjour.

521
00:35:43,474 --> 00:35:44,976
- Ciao.
- Konnichi wa.

522
00:35:52,066 --> 00:35:53,276
