You can stop it from happening.
How?
You have to kill him.
She shares some
of the same mutations
as the aliens.
[Emily] It feels like
they're inside my head.
Emily?
[grunts]
[groaning]
I'm looking for someone.
Professor Bill Ward.
This will terminate the pregnancy
in the first ten weeks.
Have you told Nathan?
No. It's better if he never knows.
Come.
[in French]
[Sophia speaking French]
[Catherine speaking French]
Well, you said that
if you had a live alien,
you could start testing the virus.
Seems to me like you've got one.
I'm sorry.
[Emily breathing shakily]
[tapping syringe]
[Syringe jabbing]
What's wrong with me?
I-I don't know.
Maybe you contracted
something on the ship.
I'll check in on you later. Okay?
[Baby crying]
[Man and woman
speaking indistinctly]
[Sarah] We just wanna see her.
[Zoe] I'm sorry.
That isn't possible.
[Sarah] She's our daughter.
God, a few minutes.
That's all we're asking.
Bill, she's refusing
to let us see Emily.
Well, it might be
for the best, Sarah,
until we figure out what's going on.
Have you seen her?
Yes.
How is she?
She's She's okay.
What are you gonna do with her?
We'll hold her until
we're sure she isn't a threat.
We'll leave. We'll take her away.
You won't ever see us again.
I swear to God.
I'm sorry. That's not an option.
[Jonathan] Why?
Just let us take her.
She She did try to kill me.
Why would she do that?
I don't know.
Some kind of brainwashing maybe.
We don't know what they did to her.
It's as much for her protection
as anyone's.
I just wanna see her. Please.
I'm sorry.
You have no idea
what it means to be a parent.
I'm trying to keep you
and your family alive.
Let's just figure out
what's best for Emily.
I'll take great care of her.
I promise.
[Zoe] Has the virus taken hold yet?
She's getting sick.
It's beginning to work.
How soon until we know for sure?
When her organs begin shutting down.
She's gonna need insulin.
I'll send Alex out
to try and find some.
Okay.
[groaning softly]
[Crow cawing]
[In French]
[Nathan in French]
Yeah.
[Door creaks]
[whispering]
Kariem, watch the exits.
Keep an eye.
[Metal clanging in distance]
[clanging continues]
Wait here.
[breathing shakily]
Check the cupboards for insulin.

[loud rustling]
Scarlet?
Scarlet?
Scarlet?
Did you get it?
What?
We lost someone.
Who?
A girl. Scarlet.
They took her.
Why would they take her?
I don't know.
[Bill sighs]
How's Emily?
In and out of consciousness,
getting weaker all the time.
The insulin will make her better?
We have to see how
the virus progresses
before we give it to her.
We have to let her get really sick.
[sighs]
I know this is hard for you.
I had to look into Sarah's eyes
and lie about what I'm doing
to her daughter.
[sighs]
The virus is our only chance
of defeating them.
I can put a gun to your head
and make you do it.
And then you can blame me.
What age are you?
Jesus.
You don't need
to put a gun to my head.
Catherine.
Catherine.
[Pages rustling]
[Catherine] Sophia.
Sophia!
Sophia!
[exhales]
[sighs]
Catherine.
[Footsteps receding]
He's creating a virus
that will slaughter our people.
[breathing heavily]
[Emily] Virus.
You infected me.
You're going to kill them.
They're gonna wipe us out.
This is our only opportunity
to defeat them.
Your wife wouldn't have
wanted you to hurt me.
Helen's dead.
And you did nothing to stop it.
I tried.
It won't bring her back.
You think I don't know that?
I made her a promise.
You know it's wrong.
You tried to kill me.
Why don't you come down
off your high horse?

Just breathe.

Why did they take you?

Bill.
What about him?
They wanted to
know if he was still alive.
Why?
I don't know.
My stomach
[crying]
[Woman] It's okay. It's okay.
It's all right.
[Man] What is that?
[Scarlet] They drugged me.
Okay.
[Scarlet crying]
[Woman] I know. I know.
[Man] There's something in there.
[Scarlet] What is it?
We need to cut you open.
What? No.
Scissors.
No, please. No. I don't wanna die.
No. Please.
It's okay.
It's okay.
[Scarlet screams]
[Woman] I know.

Let's go.

Is she okay? Is she okay?
I don't know.
[Man screams]

Go. Go. Go.
[Woman shouts]
Go.

[sobs]
Huh?
[sobbing]
[Jonathan] Is she okay?
Are you okay?
[Sarah] Em?
[Emily] I'm really cold.
Cold.
[Sarah] What's wrong?
[Emily breathing heavily]
Tell them.
Tell them what you did to me.
What's she talking about?
Tell them.
What did you do?
[Emily shuddering]
Sarah
Emily shares some of the same
genetic mutations as as them.
I needed a live subject.
For what?
To develop a virus.
A biological weapon.
You made her sick?
- You sick fu
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
How could you do that?
[Bill] I didn't have a choice.
They're going to wipe us out.
I had to do something.
I did it for you.
I did it for Tom.
I did it for everybody.
Fuck you, Bill!
Mum, don't.
[Sarah sobbing]
You experimented on my daughter.
You don't understand, Sarah.
I had to do something.
I trusted you.
Sarah.
I thought you were my friend.
Come on, shoot him. Come on.
Sarah.
How would you feel
if someone did that to Helen?
Huh?
Or Dan?
At least they'd still be alive.
Sarah.
This is insulin.
It'll make her better.
If you ever touch my daughter
again, I will kill you.
You okay?
You need to be somewhere else.
[sighs]
[Door opening]
[Door closes]
Sophia.
[Jonathan] Hey, found some lamps.
- Where's Sacha?
- He's with Emily. Hey.
What is this thing between them?
I've heard the creatures
won't hurt her,
just like they won't hurt Sacha.
Why is it just them?
I don't know.
The things I see,
you see them too?
I thought I was going crazy.
Maybe we both are.
All the time we were searching,
I knew I had to find you.
When I saw you,
I couldn't believe it was you.
[Jonathan] Hey.
[Emily] Hey.
Why don't you go
and give your mum a hand,
see if you can find some stuff
to make some beds?
I want to stay with her.
[Jonathan] I think your mum
would really like it
if you helped her.
Go on. I've got this.
How are you feeling?
Better.
It's some snacks. Chocolate, crisps.
[Static crackling on radio]
[Zoe] Is anyone out there?
[Static crackling]
Can anyone hear me?
[Static continues]
Here's some food.
I'll see if I can find
some painkillers.
We lost the virus.
It's in Emily. It's in her blood.
We can still defeat them.
[Emily] You can't sleep either?
Why's this happening to us?
I don't know.
I'm glad you're here.
It makes me feel better.
Probably sounds stupid.
No.
Emily, I feel like I know you.
It's so strange.
It scares you?
No.
No one else understands.
We have each other now.
Hmm.
[sighs]
[Engine starts]
[Music playing on stereo]
["Do You realize?"
playing on stereo]
[Music continues]
Do you realize
That you have the most
Beautiful face?
Do you realize
We're floating in space?
Do you realize
That happiness makes you cry? ♪
Do you realize
That everyone you know
Someday will die?
