The Ark

Previously on "The Ark"...

- Tyson 5E. - Whoever Maddox was meeting

might still be there waiting for her.

Come on over.

I'm not the man I was.

- Something happened to Brice as the shuttle took off.

- Is the FTL charged? - Yeah, but...

- This ship is a safe haven for clones.

We can be whatever we want.

- Fire EMP, Sasha. - At what?

"Ark 22" has left.

- Maddox was trying to help Kurtis find a special G-44.

- What's a G-44? - You're looking at one.

- Let's get the hell off this ship.

What the hell is going on?

- I don't know, but we need to get moving.

- That doctor said something about me being the one.

Wait.

Drake's wife said he was searching

for a special G-44 clone, but she didn't know why.

- You talked to Drake's wife? - Yeah, long story.

Can we get out of here now?

- There is an advantage to looking like her.

And, I mean, you're about his size.

Drake to Morgan.

What's the status of the procedure?

We're about to begin, sir.

- Good. Let's not waste any time.

My guards saw that J6-82 from "Ark 1"

running down the corridor.

I'm sending you two additional guards.

We have to go.

- Okay, we'll go out the back door,

straight to the shuttle, and radio "Ark 1" from there.

Uh, Sharon, we're in FTL.

Shit.

We can't detach a shuttle from an Ark while traveling at FTL.

It will break apart. - Wait.

I know a way, but we need to get there first.

Wait.

Ian?

This is--

Bad.

This is bad, but we have to go.

- What the hell is Drake doing to them?

Nothing good.

We have to do something. - No, no, no.

Sharon, these people are clearly Gen 3s.

They've already lost their minds.

Look at them.

But they're still people.

We have to help them.

- Team 2, check sector 5, 7, and 13.

We have to go, now.

No. No.

- I thought "Ark 22" were basing themselves here.

I didn't think that they'd leave.

Alicia.

- There's just no way of finding them now.

We are so screwed! - Hey! Take a breath, okay?

- It's just--there's no way of tracing Garnet or Ian's WD

and no way to know where the Ark went

or even what direction it was heading.

- Hey, I once watched you untangle this Ark

from an alternate universe.

You can figure this out. - That was different.

- No, you can science your way out of anything, okay?

- Hammond is requesting a word with you.

- You've led us all into grave danger.

You disobeyed my direct orders. - You're not my captain.

- Well, your captain left me in charge,

and now you disobeyed us both

and led the entire crew into danger.

Do you even have a plan? - Yes, we do.

I heard Drake's ship's gone.

You have no idea where they are, do you?

You know, there may be no more GSA,

but I reached a rank of admiral

through a lot of hard work and experience.

So tell me, Lieutenant, have you ever commanded a ship

while it was under attack?

Or launched an Ark with 300 people

while the Earth descended into chaos?

Well, despite what you might think about me,

I'm not some power-hungry outsider

looking for a command.

I want to help.

So let me out, and we can fix this together.

Or you can keep me in here,

and we all die

because of your idiotic actions.

- I'll take that under advisement.

Lieutenant Reed to Drake.

- Yes? - We have a problem in Med Bay.

Impose an immediate ship-wide lockdown.

And I want every J6-82 and G-44 identified.

- We understand the living quarters

are a bit tight right now, but we're working--

Tight is an understatement.

Ever since Eastern Federation arrived,

we've been sleeping in bunks.

- We're working on expanding our perimeters

so we can build more housing.

We need more generators.

Has anyone noticed that lights have been going out

in the EF quarters but not in the GSA cabins?

- There is no GSA and no EF anymore.

We're all one here!

- Hey! Hey, quiet down, everyone!

Welcome back, Mr. Strickland.

I imagine it was a long night.

So it was.

- Any news? - No.

No footprints, no belongings, not a trace.

But I haven't lost hope of finding Angus or Kelly,

and we should not give up.

Perhaps we should.

I don't want to put others in danger

for such a futile cause.

It--it's not futile.

- You just said you found no sign of your friends.

- There's still a chance they're alive.

It's worth the minimal danger to--

"Minimal danger"?

We lost two people,

vanished without a trace.

And as someone reminded us,

we all know the danger that Kelly presents.

- I will not accept that scenario.

We found no signs of foul play.

You know what?

I'm going back out there to search some more.

I advise you not to.

Who's with me?

Anyone?

I'll go.

- I think they're trying to tell us something.

- Who? Who is trying to tell us something?

I don't know.

- Could they be people who worked for Mother?

- Unless she invented some new technology,

I don't think they would have been here long enough

to build this.

- Could another Ark have gotten here even longer ago?

No, not much longer.

All the Arks launched within the same window.

So they're aliens.

They could be some sort

of indigenous intelligent creatures, I guess.

Wouldn't that be cool?

"Cool"?

They just tried to dump us in a lava pit.

- No, they showed us a lava pit.

That's why I think they're trying to tell us something.

- At this point, they're going to starve us to death.

If we don't get food soon, we'll die.

- Water. - What?

- If we don't get water soon, we'll die.

We can survive at least four more days without water,

and we can survive around 30 to 60 days without food.

- You sound like you speak from experience.

- My family struggled a lot back on Earth.

We sometimes went days without food.

I'm sorry.

It's why I got into horticulture.

It felt comforting

to know I could make food anywhere...

anytime.

- Why would they give us a bunch of rocks?

- Maybe they think that's what we eat.

- Mmm. How's your salad?

Mine's great.

I guess, uh...

the sunshine actually makes a difference.

But, um, I'd die for a steak right now.

Sanji...

I'm sorry.

Look, I don't--I don't know what else to say.

I know I overstepped the other day--

"Overstepped"?

I told you that I needed to handle it myself,

and then you immediately went and threatened him.

You don't understand how it feels to go through--

Did you know they were--

Sanji.

Sanji, please, wait. - I just--

I really don't want to get involved,

but if Ves is in a relationship with--

she should know about my past with him.

I agree.

- But it's really none of my business.

You want me to talk to her? - No!

It's definitely not your business.

Okay, look...

I'm just trying to figure this out, just like you.

I--

I have to do this on my own, okay?

- Thought I might find you here.

I brought you the new drink from the bar.

The Homebase Highball.
