Do it.

[Paul] Can we get organized?

Hey can you help us?

(all talking at once)

(tense music)

(contemplative music)

[Computer] Feed disabled.

(contemplative music)

[Ainsley] Agreed, Frost

what's going on in Civie?

The situation's getting worse.

They need more supplies.

I just had to issue a

fresh ration release.

[Ainsley] You did what?

Both the rations were bad.

Civie had every

right to be upset.

Well boo f***ing hoo for them.

An order like that is for

the President not you.

But it placated them?

For now.

This on the other

hand must not get out.

[Eve] He was threatened.

[President] He was rash.

He was shot at.

And he's shown that

he's dangerous to humans.

That said maybe we can

turn this into a positive.

Can we communicate with it?

He's disabled his audio feed

but his optical feed is

still fully operational.

Then this is what we'll do.

We send a detail to

retrieve the Mark III.

In the meantime we announce

the successful completion

of a field test to

recover the body

of our fallen friend,

et cetera et cetera.

Astute as ever sir.

Frost, take Dr.

Smith and one civilian

on punishment detail to

retrieve the Mark III.

Then reconnoiter the

source of the SOS.

I need Dr. Smith

with me to help me

analyze Abel's behavioral code.

Fine, take Dr. Macdonald's

assistant I don't care.

Well you gonna draft

that announcement or not?

Yes sir.

Excuse me. (coughing)

[Computer] Good morning Eden.

This is day zero minus 519.

Pollution and radiation

levels remain constant.

No other survivors

have been located.

Stand by for the President's

daily announcement.

Something made him leave Pope.

Maybe he thought

this wasn't Eden.

Meaning Robert's laboratory.

You think that Abel

thought this silo was...

What Babel?

It's ridiculous.

Babel and Jericho were

both destroyed on day zero.

It's why we all took refuge

here and he knows that.

No.

Your machine is on

a different mission.

What that is I dread to think.

[Computer] System

link up activated.

Primary weapon

Stevens, King SK56.

Multiple ammunitions loaded.

This is the access

code to my locker.

If anything happens

you get to it.

What do you mean, why?

Just an insurance policy.

Well I don't want

to have to use it.

So just make sure you come back.

[Computer] Kramer, Archibald.

Suit environmental

integrity at 96%.

(contemplative music)

Soon as we're outside

you get back down

to Civie and you

keep the peace okay.

Don't worry there sir.

I got Walsh here with me.

Nothing we can't handle.

[Computer] Chapman, Cara.

Suit environmental

integrity at 93%.

Get yourself down to Civie

I'll be right behind you.

[Computer] Environmental

integrity at 95%.

[Computer] Airlock secured.

Brooks, your father wants

to see you at the level gate.

I'm supervising the sortie.

Do as you are told and go now.

Just don't touch anything.

Never learned to type.

(suspenseful music)

(coughing)

The truth is I can't

remember if I did restrain him.

I've isolated the footage.

Memory's a funny thing.

Is it every that reliable?

It has to be.

We should get ready.

Frost and his team

will almost be outside.

Is Robert's laboratory

still out there Albert?

I don't know.

(dramatic music)

Hey d*ckhead.

(coughing)

Jimenez maybe it's time you get

yourself to the medical bay.

I'll be fine.

[Alexa] Frost it's Brooks.

[Frost] We're at the

gates of Eden Alexa.

Be careful fresh cloud

of pollution is in range.

The detail are positioned

at the gate Dr. Gabriel.

[Eve] Just connecting.

[Computer] Visual

feed disabled.

I don't understand.

Well we know where he's going.

We're sending you the

coordinates now Alexa.

He's heading towards

the beacon signal.

[Alexa] Copy that.

Frost pollution levels

are holding for now.

Proceed towards target.

[Computer] System

linkup activated.

Copy that Eden.

[Computer] Frost, Shane.

Environmental biohazard

monitoring enabled.

Okay Chapman, Kramer come on.

(dramatic music)

(all shouting at once)

Are you seeing this?

Did you know about this?

(all shouting at once)

What the?

Mr. Jimenez?

Is that on

throughout the complex?

Just on level four.

What was that?

Is that Dr. Gabriel's machine?

Turn it off now.

Did it kill Cooper?

[Jimenez] Now.

(dramatic music)

[Computer] Environmental

biohazard warning.

(dramatic music)

[Robert] What killed Cooper?

Well first of all that's

what we need to find out right?

This thing needs to be held

accountable for it's actions.

Of course and someone

is in charge of that.

We need to reclaim

our humanity.

Come on this is not

gonna solve anything.

Hughes go back to

your tent and calm down.

We're not a lynch mob alright.

(dramatic music)

We need to find out

what's going on.

Now let me go with Steve and

other members of the council.

I will insist we speak to

the President directly.

See what everybody knows.

So what do we do Paul?

Until then we are

on a peaceful protest.

(contemplative music)

[Computer] System failure.

Kramer, Archibald suit

environmental integrity at 88%.

[Chapman] Man at one o'clock.

Yeah talk to me Chapman.

[Chapman] I'm sorry sir

they're over the dune.

Nobody reports for work.

We stay here in Civie, we

don't show our heads alright

'til I or Steven, other

members of the council say so.

Come on Jim, come on man.

You call that a plan?

It could have been you.

Come on man drop the shank.

It could have been me but

instead it was poor Cooper.

I can't take it anymore.

(all talking at once)

F***ing move!

Somebody stop him.

(dramatic music)

F***ing move!

Cain we have a situation

get to the lab immediately.

Frost, Frost come in, over.

(dramatic music)

Where?

Talk to me Chapman where?

(rock thuds)

(dramatic music)

(gun firing)

(dramatic music)

Get the labs locked down.

I'll try and cut them

off on this level.

Come on we can stop this.

[Jimenez] Seal the

doors, priority A.

[Computer] Laboratory

(dramatic music)

[Paul] Come on man forget

it, it's not worth it.

(dramatic music)

(gun firing)

(dramatic music)

We move now.

(all talking at once)

(dramatic music)

Lieutenant.

Put the weapon over the side.

[Paul] Jim let her go

this will get nothing done...

Do as I say or I swear to

f***ing God I'll kill her.

- It's not worth it.

- Let's talk Hughes.

I don't want you

dead Lieutenant.

You tell that to Cooper.

That wasn't meant to be.

[Paul] Okay okay okay okay.

[Jim] Do it, do it now.

Calm down, calm down.

Mark III I'm here to retrieve

you and take you back...

I will advise you to cease

your pursuit of me Lieutenant.

I'm capable of things

I have no control over.

(thudding)

[Jim] Side arm as well too.

I'm not f***ing joking.

Now let me through.

[Paul] It's not gonna make

anything better let her go.

Just let me through.
