The Ark (2023) s03e04 Episode Script
Hiding In Plain Sight
1
Previously on "The Ark."
That doctor said something
about me being the one.
What the hell is Drake doing to them?
It's like some kind of puzzle.
That feels like progress.
I had to go to freaking space
to get away from him.
Gen-3 brain cells are unstable,
and they do develop psychosis.
[EXPLOSION BOOMING]
Generators don't just
explode without reason.
What are you implying?
This is what Angus was
wearing the last time I saw him.
The "Ark 1" shuttle is gone.
Find her.
But I'm not Gen-3.
Yes, darling, you are.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
[LAUGHTER]
She don't look too good.
You all right, sis?
Let's just say
I'm having a difficult time
believing I'm a Gen-3 clone.
Mm.
What can I say, darling?
You are.
Can you explain how that can be?
It just it doesn't track.
She never went psychotic.
Which is exactly why
Kurtis has been looking for you.
He wants to use you to find a way
to stop the Gen-3s from ever turning.
If that's the case,
why didn't Drake just tell her?
I'm guessing
he didn't think I'd be open
to impromptu brain surgery.
Alls I know is he thinks
something inside of you
is the answer to all his problems.
You mean the problems with the Gen-3s?
Mm-mm.
That is not how he said it.
He specifically said,
"If I could just find
the right one, it would
solve all my problems."
Mm.

Former EF and GSA personnel
are blaming each other
for the generator explosions.
We need to give them
the information
I'm afraid he still hasn't woken,
so we know nothing about him.
I've checked our manifests.
He isn't "EF-2."
Are you certain?
Absolutely.
Well, he doesn't appear
on any Ark manifests.
You must have missed something.
GSA manifests are solid.
As are EFs'.
All right, so he's not
on either manifest.
The truth is he could be
a stowaway from either ship.
But if he's been
hiding out all this time,
why expose himself now
to sabotage the generator?
I don't know.
But as soon as
he regains consciousness,
we'll interrogate him to find out.
Any idea when that might be?
[SIGHS] Well, I don't
even know if he'll wake up,
much less when.
More important question is
are there more like him?

Glad you made it back safely.
So sorry to hear about Brice.
He had my respect.
Thank you.
And I'm sorry about Doc Morozov.
She was a great addition to "Ark 1."
Jill and Clark, the two clones
from Drake's ship,
they're on the next shuttle.
Can we find space for them?
Are they a security risk?
Uh, no, I don't think so.
Then of course. Consider it done.
Any word on "EF-1"?
None. Tried everything.
No contact.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Not too shabby, eh?
Yeah.
I know you said it was
beautiful, but wow.
Who is that?
Oh, that's Ves.
Yeah, she's one of
the council members.
I think she came here on "Ark 11."
[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC]
We can't find any physical tracks,
no sign of a struggle.
The only thing we came across was
an abnormality in the vegetation.
Well, what kind of abnormality?
It was strange.
A perfect circle of dead,
burnt vegetation.
We tested it to see
if there were any hints
of Kelly's or Angus's whereabouts,
but there doesn't seem
to be a connection.
Well, have you tried
tracing their WDs?
Yes. Nothing.
No emergency beacon, no signal at all.
OK, well,
now that "Ark 1" is here,
we may be able
to tap into the array receiver
from the aft section.
To do what?
It's more sensitive than the receivers
we use here to communicate
on Homebase,
so we may be able to pick up
Angus and Kelly's WDs
even if the signal's weak.
Get started and let me know
if you need anything.
Oh, and Alicia.
I really miss having you around.
Go.

Sanji.
But Dr. Hall swore me to secrecy.
Why?
In addition
to the officially sanctioned
experiments that
Hall conducted on you,
he was also doing
unsanctioned ones to solve
the Gen-3 brain anomaly.
Yeah, to stop them
us from ever turning psychotic.
I know.
Yeah, eventually, one of the things
he tried on you actually worked,
which is why you haven't turned.
If what you're saying is true,
then why didn't he give it
to all the Gen-3s?
Because he couldn't
reproduce the experiment.
He couldn't get it
to work on your sister.
Or or any of the other Gen-3s.

Denise was Gen-3?
Uh
He lied to us.
He said my sister and I were Gen-2s.
He swore me to secrecy when
he brought you on "Ark 1."
I couldn't tell you.
- But why?
- T-to protect you.
He didn't want other people
to find out you were Gen-3
and start experimenting on you.
Like Drake tried to.
And he must have known somehow.
And it might help
if I knew about this, Sanji,
before I went to his ship.

Thought I might find you here.
I'll have what she's having.
So come on.
Out with it.
How would you feel
if you just found out
you were the only Gen-3
in the universe
who's not psychotic?
Mm.
Well, probably better than
the ones who are psychotic.
Thanks.
Feel like I don't
know who I am anymore.
Oh, come on. You're kidding, right?
Gen-2, Gen-3,
Gen-1,000, doesn't matter.
You're still Sharon Garnet.
Whatever Dr. Hall did to me on Earth,
I survived and Denise didn't.
And it feels wrong.
Mm.
The old survivor's guilt, eh?
Well, lucky for you,
I've got some experience
in that department too.
I grew up in a lab full of
clones all designed to die,
and yet, here I am.
Look, the only way to move forwards
is to keep on doing
the good that you do.
Least that way, it doesn't feel
like it was all for nothing.
- Curly.

Look at me.
To keeping on keeping on?
To keeping on keeping on.
You asked for us?
Is Sheriff Petrovic awake?
I'm afraid not.
What about our mystery man?
No, but we have new information
I thought the council should know.
There's no change in
our John Doe's condition,
but we found something you should see.
This is an MRI scan of his head.
Yeah if you look closely,
you'll see he has three sets
of cochleas in each ear.
We all have one per ear.
His vocal cords also
have noticeable differences
from ours.
Was there something
that was done to him?
There are no signs of surgery
or any other medical interventions.
Far as I can tell,
he was born this way.
Could he be a humanoid
who evolved here
the same way we did on Earth,
just with these few differences?
I don't know. That's unlikely.
I was on the first Ark
that arrived here.
We swept the area multiple
times for sign of life.
Nothing but plants and birds.

something inside of you
is the answer to all his problems.

Yes, you should have.
But you were so worried about
ending up like your sister,
I didn't want to exacerbate that worry
by telling you you were Gen-3.
That was not your decision to make.
You're right. I'm sorry.
You said Drake had a room
full of Gen-3s on his ship?
At least one.
Then who knows how many more Gen-3s
could be out there, right?
I mean, Drake's company made
a lot of clones.
Is there a point?
Yes.
Drake thought he could find
the answer in you,
but he didn't have one thing I do.
Dr. Hall's research.
OK, but you said
he couldn't reproduce the cure.
Well, he might have
had he lived long enough.
Let's finish his work.

Jerk. I really wanted

Can I help you
with something, Admiral?
Cut the BS.
I'm sorry?
Now, I was pleasantly surprised
to see that my Admiral clearance code
still gave me access
to redacted files.
I got to read all about you.
I always thought
Black Thorn was a rumor.
Tell me, do your cohorts on
the council know about this?
