[exhales]

- Put him down, Robinson.

- Okay. Just keep an eye on him.

He was extremely nervous.

Well done for knocking

him out like that.

I just thought we would both

sleep a little easier

knowing that he was drugged asleep.

Yeah.

He doesn't seem to remember anything.

You believe him?

Does he seem dangerous to you?

Well...

Things aren't always what they seem.

Hmm?

[door opens, closes]

[snores, groans]

- Shh.

- What's happening?

- I had to inject you to wake you up.

- Where's the guy?

He's sleeping. We gotta

get out of here. Look away.

- Did you send the signal?

- Not yet.

That's where we're headed.

[Abby] We have to get out of here.

It's gonna take 40 minutes

for them to get here.

- We'll wait outside. Okay.

- Okay, let's go.

- Too late.

- [Abby gasps]

What are you doing, Abby?

[Abby] You're not Robinson Scott.

What are you talking about?

- Dr. Zek...

- Stay still!

- Dr. Zek told me...

- [Zek] Abby. Abby.

The doctor, eh? You trust the good

doctor? Is that how it works?

You tell the truth. You tell

her the truth right now!

What's he talking about?

The ravings of a madman.

You tell her about Gibson Desert North.

About Auxilisun's crown jewel, now!

- What?

- Tell her.

I have no idea

what you're talking about.

And you're willing to bet

our lives on that, are you?

- Um, yeah.

- [Abby grunts]

[Abby shrieks] Ow! Aaah!

[Robinson grunts] Aaah!

[Robinson groaning]

- Let me see.

- Am I bleeding?

Looks like the laser cauterized

the wound. Come here.

Aaah!

[grunts]

To the bed. Here.

What did he say about me?

[Grunts]

Don't touch it.

He told me you were

some kind of terrorist

that broke in here and

killed the real Robinson.

You believed him?

Dr. Zek is a respected member

of the scientific community.

- What was I supposed to think?

- Dr. Zek is a lunatic.

How am I gonna get

across the red zone?

How am I gonna get across

the size of that desert?

I'd have radiation poisoning

by the time I got here.

He destroyed the door mechanism.

[door warbles]

We're locked in here.

- He's gonna escape without us.

- No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

He's not escaping.

He's going to Deep Burial.

[Robinson grunts, gasps]

Bastard.

Just...

Hmm.

What did you mean?

When you said that...

That this whole place was a lie.

- It hurts.

- What did you mean?

This place

is supposed to be a secure

nuclear storage facility.

He's turned it into a bomb.

Thanks.

Abby, I don't...

I don't know what we do now.

- How do we get to him?

- He's in Deep Burial.

I have access.

- You do?

- Yeah.

That's great.

Hang on.

Okay.

I'm gonna rewire the door,

so the mechanism works from this side.

[grunts]

[instrument clattering]

[Robinson] You can do that?

[beeps]

[grunts]

[Robinson] Nice.

[Robinson grunts] Watch out.

We need to find him.

I can trace his location on my tablet.

No time for that!

[Robinson] No time!

[tablet beeping]

[gasping]

F***.

[beeping, whirring]

- [Robinson grunts]

- [Zek shouting]

[grunting]

[gun powers up]

- Drop the club.

- Okay, okay.

- Who are you?

- Okay, okay.

[Robinson, Abby groaning]

[coughs, retches]

You're the one with radiation sickness.

- You walked across the red zone?

- Shut up!

- Who are you? Please.

- Shut up.

- Who are you?

- Shut up!

Nothing can stop me from doing

what I came here to do!

Aaah!

[groans]

[Klaxon blaring]

[Abby] Aaah!

[gun powers up]

What are you doing?

Gibson Desert North has been decaying

at an unpredictable rate for years,

and you knew it!

You know that Auxilisun

system's fail-safe. There's no way...

What about Barrow Creek?

All of the closest inhabitable cities

are supposed to be well

within the green zone.

So unless Barrow Creek... the

entire town... got up and moved,

the red zone is expanding.

Yes.

When were you gonna tell Auxilisun?

Auxilisun already knows.

What?

Dr. Sale and I know the truth.

- The truth?

- Yeah.

The truth that you're killing people?

The truth is that the energy

we give the world

is more important than

some piece-of-sh*t small town...

But no, people di...

in the middle of nowhere!

His... That man's family.

How many have lived?

Do you know how many hospitals,

cities, homes use our energy?

There were 230 a**holes in Barrow Creek!

Shut up!

[Gun powers up]

Aaah!

Shut up, okay?

[gun powers down]

You can find your own way out.

[Klaxon blaring in distance]

[Zek] Abby.

[child giggling on video]

[coughs] So you were the one

that was ruining the fans.

You walked across

the red zone by yourself?

How long have you been dying?

Not sure.

We all got sick at the same time.

I just lasted longer

than Margot,

and Sammy.

This won't bring them back.

I know what it's like

to lose your family.

[rumbling]

Then you know why I have to do this.

No. You're just gonna kill

more people. I can't let you...

- Don't follow me, Abby.

- Stop.

Stay back! Stop!

No! Stay back, Abby!

Stop.

Auxilisun, they took everything from me.

If you destroy this place,

you're no better than they are.

And you are?

[gasping]

- [Abby] No.

- [Robinson] The world needs a tragedy,

- to see what's been happening here.

- [gun powers up]

I'll kill you before I let that happen.

No, you won't.

[breathing heavily]

If we can get out of here,

I have all the information on my ADATA.

You and I, we can blow the whistle.

We can let everybody know.

No, Abby. They'll shut you down, Abby!

This thing's bigger than you!

The whole world, Abby!

They're being lied to!

Is this what Margot and

Sammy would have wanted?

Not sure.

I don't know.

Maybe I'll get a chance to ask 'em.

No!

[electricity crackling]

[Klaxon blaring]

[rumbling]

This is CTE Abby Dixon

to Auxilisun tri-copter.

Rhine, do you read me?

[explosions]

[explosions, rumbling continue]

[panting]

[explosion]

[explosions]

[respirator hissing, clicking]

[explosion]
