Genesis Page #3

we don't have time James.

Insurgency is at our doorstep.

It's your paranoia

that's at our doorstep.

If we don't send

the Mark III out

to retrieve supplies

soon the civilians

and their leaders

will cause trouble.

They have very little hope left.

Precisely.

The people of Eden

will always obey us

as long as they have some hope,

just not enough to

galvanize their bravery.

You and Robert

never had children.

No.

Why?

We were

too busy trying to conquer death

to think about creating life.

Mark I.

I see.

Create immortality to dispel

the need for procreation.

Robert believed that

there was no greater

impulse for human kind

than to conquer death.

I cannot understand this

human obsession with death.

Would it not be better

to focus on life?

I couldn't have children.

Something I've had to push to

the far reaches of my mind.

Do you miss Robert?

I used to.

But now I have you.

(contemplative music)

I spoke to Gadd.

He's up for it.

What did I say, no

what did I tell you?

No, no recruitment drive.

It's not an easy thing.

You don't control wild

animals by arguing nicely.

It takes discipline.

That's why they

need men like us.

Traded these beauties for

that old football of mine.

Fancy a game?

Take him to the

f***ing cleaners Danny.

Think about what I said Frost.

[Computer] Standby

for the President.

[President] Citizens of Eden

remember lab access

is restricted.

(contemplative music)

[Cain] Is everything clear?

[Gadd] Crystal.

(contemplative music)

[Cain] Don't miss.

(gun c*cks)

Nothing comes.

Brooks' daughter.

Here's that other

thing you asked for.

(contemplative music)

[Steven] McMan

didn't stand a chance.

We need to insist that

the military suits

are made available

for punishment detail.

I'm trying.

Ainsley's not letting

me get to the President.

Then ask Frost.

At least he has a conscious.

I don't trust him.

At least he can

insist that there's

a military presence

in each detail.

Broadman.

(footsteps approaching)

Fancy a bit of

company sweetheart?

Shouldn't you

be harassing some

poor old lady down in Civie?

You know one of these

days you're gonna...

(alarm beeps)

(suspenseful music)

Secretary Ainsley I'll

need to speak to you now.

I'm in Comms, you're

gonna want to see this.

(screaming in pain)

Can we get some help in here?

(dramatic music)

Kramer get the morphine,

2000 M's fentanyl quickly.

[Computer]

Poisoning is critical.

Possible organ failure.

Is there anything we can do?

No just leave him.

[Computer] Code blue.

Kramer let's go.

[Computer] Cardiac

arrest eminent.

Syringe.

[Computer] Subject

in cardiac arrest.

Kramer come on.

[Computer] Internal

organ failure.

(contemplative music)

Frost get Dr. Gabriel to

the war room immediately.

(contemplative music)

[Abel] Why did

they let him die?

[Eve] They couldn't stop him.

Couldn't they?

What is it?

War room, right away.

How does that thing shut

down, can you do it quickly?

You go I'll see

to everything here.

[Computer] Mark III

system scan ready.

[President] It's an SOS.

From where?

We don't know.

But we have to investigate it.

Lieutenant Frost is already...

The magnetic interference

from the chemical atmosphere

will cause havoc

with navigation.

Deploying Abel

will enable us to...

The Mark III is not ready

we've spoken about this.

Lieutenant Frost will

send a civilian on PD

to reconnoiter the coordinates.

In the meantime you'll continue

working on your creation.

I personally think that...

Should the source of

the SOS prove genuine

we will revisit whether or

not to deploy the Mark III.

It's the best I can do Doctor.

(contemplative music)

Walsh meet me at the

airlock with Cooper.

Get him out.

This looks like Jericho.

(suspenseful music)

[Computer] Cooper, Bryant.

Suit environmental

integrity at 15%.

[Computer]

Airlock pressurized.

Airlock pressurized,

entry secure.

Where's Abel?

Isn't he with you?

(suspenseful music)

I'll get his optical feed.

[Computer] Activating

tracking system.

Oh my God how

did he get outside?

(dramatic music)

(heavy breathing)

Hey.

You alright?

Hi.

Hi, how's it going lad?

Good man.

Where you're going mate.

You don't know that?

Don't I Paul?

I wrote that.

Don't think I ever told you.

No you didn't.

However you did say that

you'd never work for them.

Well things change.

Yeah they do.

I didn't think for a

minute the last days

of mankind would look like this.

(music fades)

[Smith] We've issued immediate

instructions for his return

and will do our best to

find out how he got out.

(contemplative music)

(dramatic music)

[Computer] Cooper, Bryant.

Suit environmental

integrity at 11%.

Eden.

[Computer]

Environmental warning.

There's a gust of pollution.

I have to come back in I do

not want to die out here.

[Computer]

Environmental bioprotocol.

Cooper, Cooper come in Cooper.

Cooper?

Nothing, he's gone.

(somber music)

(helmet bangs)

(grunting)

F*** me.

Eden.

Eden.

[Abel] I'm pretty

sure that's dangerous.

(gun fires)

(dramatic music)

Abel.

You're suit is

already corroded.

I do not intend to hurt you.

(gun fires)

(grunting)

(contemplative music)

Well it's all set Secretary.

Civie has reached

a boiling point.

One more incident and

they'll tip over the edge.

It's time to see if

Paul Brooks is with us.

[Smith] It may

not be a flaw Eve.

Maybe it's in the

response moderation code.

Or perhaps this is

his next natural step.

Isn't this what you wanted?

Him to develop organically,

for his programming

to match the emergent

qualities in humans?

He killed a man.

[Smith] What's

more human that that?

(contemplative music)

[Computer] Ainsley, Jordan

blood analysis complete.

[Ainsley] You

must have something.

[Computer] No environmental

toxicity detected.

Unfortunately

I can't prescribe

anti-inflammatories

for a headache.

[Computer] All

vital signs normal.

Minor vitamin D deficiency.

What about methadone?

On second thought maybe not.

I hear it does

funny things to you.

[Computer] Incoming

medical request.

Rudolph, Raymond citizen

087, assistant engineer.

Expected palmary lesion.

[Ainsley] Where's

the Mark III?

(contemplative music)

Whatever happens stay in line.

If they break that

line raise your weapon.

We're not animals you know!

Calm down, calm

down and get back.

(all shouting at once)

Get back, get back.

(all shouting at once)

That's it.

(punch lands)

Kramer, Kramer!

Stay in line.

Stay in line.

Stay in line.

Take it easy alright.

This is getting away...

[Cain] Get them back Paul.

I'll clear the area.

[Cain] Get them back.

Calm down guys okay.

We need fresh rations

and we need them now.

What we gonna eat today?

He's right we

need fresh rations.

We can't starve.

Okay alright.

Open the store, get one

more set of rations.

(all cheering)

That is the President's

call is it not?

In my head it's

my call, do it.
