The Ark (2023) s03e01 Episode Script
I Told You Not to Come
1
"Ark 1" is the first of
a long line of spacecraft
fleeing a failing Earth in search
of a new planet to call home.
The crew was tested along the way.
Lane!
These implants, they give her
some kind of superhuman strength?
- I thought you were dead.
- What are you talking about?
What, you really didn't
know you were a clone?
We were able to make peace
with the rebel Eastern Federation.
This is Captain Zed Avega.
Come with us.
Together, we made it to Trappist-1D.
There's obviously water
and the atmosphere is similar to Earth.
But the team at Homebase
has begun to discover
that our new home holds
secrets of its own.
Other ships are still out
there looking for a home.
"Ark 1" won't stop searching for them
until they bring them back to Homebase.
Do not come to Ross!
Turn around before it's too late!
So set a course for Ross?
Their message sounded
like they're in trouble.
Well, exactly. It said do
not come here, didn't it?
Ian, our mission is to
find people who need help
and take them to Homebase 1.
I say we go.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
Alicia, are we close
enough yet to get more
information on the situation?
♪
Still too far for planetary readings,
but we've moved into range to get
some readings on the Ross sun.
It's throwing off some
really severe solar storms.
Meaning?
"Ark 4" doesn't have the
long-range sensors we do.
It wouldn't have been able
to detect the solar storms
- until it was too late.
- Too late for what?
Solar storms at that level
would have knocked out
all life support and electrical systems
on "Ark 4" before it dropped out of FTL.
So they're all dead?
Not necessarily.
It's possible they
made it to the surface
before the storm started.
But wouldn't the solar storm
still be bad down on the planet?
The atmosphere would protect
the crew from radiation.
Then there might be survivors.
Wait. If we go, won't
our life support systems
just be fried like theirs was?
Actually, I've been working on a way
to rig the artificial gravity generator
to project some of its gravitons
onto the exterior of the ship.
Which would do what?
It would act as a shield
against the solar storms.
There's a "but" coming.
I can always sense when
there's a "but" on the way out
of that little mouth of hers.
No "but." It'll work.
Great.
For three hours.
And there it is.
That wasn't a "but."
All right, then we'll move fast
and use those three hours
to search for survivors.
How long until we're there?
Two hours.
Call me when we're close.

Our one-year anniversary.
You kissed me for the first
time exactly a year ago.
Huh.
Is that right? Exactly?
[CHUCKLES] OK, about a year ago.
Just go with it.
All right, all right, all right.
So look what I found at the
Homebase exchange office.
A woman from "Ark 11" was trading it.
Oh!
Oh!
Wait, do do you know how
many light years away from me
you are right now?
That is just so cruel.
Just pretend I'm right there with you.
Oh, baby, I want to.
I really, like, really do.
But, um [CLICKS TONGUE]
Listen, could we maybe save
this for tomorrow's call?
What?
Because we're about to land at Ross,
and I don't really have any time.
I just wanted to see your face
before we go down to the planet.
You're going down there? Is it safe?
Is it safe? Y-yes.
Yes, of course it's safe.
Listen, I'll tell you
all about it tomorrow, OK?
All personnel, we arrive
at Ross in ten minutes.
[SIGHS] All right, I gotta go.
- I love you.
- I love you, too.

All these times we've
been in an FTL bubble,
I never realized how beautiful it is.
Yeah.
It is kind of stunning, isn't it, Curly?
Curly?
Yeah, that was my nickname for you
when we were in the coma dream together.
- You remember.
- No, I don't.
Well, sure you do. You loved it.
I really doubt that.
Yeah, I started calling you Curly when
we were about 20 years in.
We were deep into our romance by then.
Hmm. Did I call you something?
Yeah.

Oh.
Ian, we've been through this.

It was just a dream.
Maybe.
But a wonderful,
beautiful, romantic dream.

OK, yes, it was.
But, Ian, it wasn't real.
Feelings I was left with
felt pretty real to me.
And I think they're real for you, too.
You just won't admit it for some reason.
I'm sorry. OK?
I'm dealing with a delicate
balance on this ship now,
commanding former GSA and EF personnel
who just weeks ago were enemies.
And somehow, God knows how,
I've managed to gain
their trust, and I

ain't very professional.

Report.
The solar shields are working.
Good job, Alicia.
The scans are showing no signs of life
on the parts of "Ark 4" still in orbit.
It's not responding to remote commands.
Electrics are fried.
That includes life support, I'm afraid.
So everyone is dead?
On the section still in orbit, yes.
But they managed to get
two of their aft sections
and a center section to the surface.
I'm guessing before
the solar storms hit.
- Any signs of life?
- Yes.
There are several life signs.
We may have gotten here in time.
All right. Let's go find them.
Kimi, Brice, you're with me.
Dr. Morozov, meet us in the shuttle dock
for a rescue mission.
Full EVA suits and security batons.
The shields will hold for
another 2 hours and 52 minutes,

No, you're not.
Alicia might need your

No, wait. I might have an

Yeah. Don't sound too surprised.
I know a lot about graviton generators.

Nitrogen, 77%, oxygen

How far are we now?
14 kilometers from the sanitation zone.
The readings out here have
changed from Maddox's readings.
Air quality is decaying.
Oxygen is down to
almost half what it was.
Carbon dioxide and nitrogen are up.
And the rest is just argon
and and sulfuric acid.
- Why would that be?
- I don't know.
21k. Check it now.
It's worse. 8% O2.
Sulfuric acid is rising.
So what does this mean?
It means we can only
expand the exploration zone out to 15k.
Any more, and we won't
be able to breathe.
We should check it every day or so,
make sure the bad air
isn't expanding towards us.
It better not be.
Or it could mean the end of
our peaceful little colony.
- [LAUGHTER]
- No, seriously.
No. I didn't make it up.
Honestly, I can't believe
you've never heard the
term afternoon delight.
- Mm, nope.
- Hmm.
But it's very descriptive.
Mm-hmm. [CHUCKLES]
Matter of fact,
I'd like some more of that delight.
Now?
Yeah.
But again?
I don't want you to burn out on me.
- Oh, never.
- [CHUCKLES]
I love you too much for that.
You do?
Yeah.
[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC]
Me too.
[CHUCKLES]
So we should only widen
the exploration zone
10 kilometers out, but
the air is safe out to 15k.
Then we should start
exploring the exploration zone
out to that limit immediately.
I don't agree.
It's not safe to go outside
our established zone.
We're explorers.
We can't explore our new planet
without venturing
outside our comfort zone.
And now that my ship's
population have offloaded,
there's far too many of us
crowded in a tight space.
And hopefully, "EF1"
will be arriving shortly.
We need to expand our footprint.
[WHISPERING]
Two men and a woman were beaten today
walking down the street.
Why?
For the crime of having been EF.
I'm sorry, Mr. Avega.
Old animosities die hard.
Well, it has to stop.
I don't have time to
keep breaking up fights.
I have too much on my plate as it is.
OK, then we'll find someone else
to take charge of law enforcement.
Agreed.
Do you have someone in mind?
I might.
OK, I've cleaned the tablet
and ran a series of tests.
- And?
- Don't you get it, Mr. Trust?
I mean, the
dude, I made the biggest
discovery in human history!
Oh, I can't wait to tell everyone.
All right. Slow down, kid.
A lot of people won't
be as excited about this,
and some will find it downright scary.
It'd be wise not to tell
anyone until we know more.
OK.
Well, I ran the text from the tablet
through every database we
have from both GSA and EF,
and I ran it through an AI translator.
No luck deciphering it.
And I'll be testing the material.
Whoa! Hey! What are you doing?
It's a machined alloy, and it's stronger
than any material I've ever heard of.
Machined?
Yep.
Which must mean that it was
made by an advanced society.
And the composite has an
element which I can't identify,
so it's probably not from Earth.
Duh.
Dude, it's got alien writing on it.
We don't know it's alien.
What else could it be?
Gentlemen, meet Milan Petrovic.
Felix, he held the
same position you did,
but on my Ark.
Civilian head of security?
And I can vouch for the fact
that he was quite good at it.
I see you were a police
officer on Earth for 12 years.
Tough time to be a cop, when
things were falling apart.
Yes, yes. It was, um, rough times.
Everyone was panicking.
I'd like to take a day to ask
around, do a little vetting.
Wasn't he vetted by the GSA?
If I'm willing to accept
that, surely you would be.
Are you?
I'm willing to accept him in the role.
As long as some of his subordinates
are former EF security.
That seems fair.
Then, you have a new job, Mr. Petrovic.
Head of Homebase One Security.
It'll be my pleasure.
As the colony is a
frontier town of sorts,
might I suggest his title be Sheriff?
