Extant

I went to space on a 13-month solo mission.

I didn't come home alone.

My husband created a lifelike android called a Humanich.

His name is Ethan... he's the prototype.

This is a story about Earth...

Ethan!

A story about family...

a story about survival.

Previously on Extant...

They took the baby out of my body.

Are you pregnant? That's not even possible.

- Are we really gonna play this game? - What do you want me to say?

They better have a gun to your head.

Whatever caused him to shut down was catastrophic.

His systems are trying to rebuild everything he is from scratch.

- He's still in there. - I know he is.

I need another chance.

- I want to come back to work. - We'll be watching you very carefully.

There was a fetus,

and it's not human.

This is the cam from the deep space probe

as it was returning to the Seraphim on your mission.

What is it? Where did it come from?

- Insert filter. - Is this...?

Yeah, when I saw Marcus.

The transfer to the life support cell is complete.

All vitals are strong.

What the hell is it?

It's a boy.

You should get some sleep.

Come here.

What is it?

A wave of nanoparticles?

Maybe a field of carbon atoms?

I don't know. I'm not a physicist.

It used me to get here.

I brought this thing here.

You said the sonogram looked human.

Yeah, but how does that create a human?

Ethan? Ethan!

Ethan, wake up, honey.

Ethan!

You're having a dream.

That's impossible.

He's not programmed to dream.

Mom? Mom?!

You're okay, honey. You're having a nightmare.

How could I see if my eyes weren't open?

Because it's not real, okay?

Sometimes I have bad dreams, and-and your dad... he has

- bad dreams, too. - Need to get him to the lab.

Can't that wait?

Will you lay down with me?

Okay.

Something bad was happening to you.

No, honey.

Nothing bad is gonna happen to me.

Promise?

I promise.

Good morning, Dr. Meehan.

Proceed to optical scanner.

Access granted.

Begin decontamination.

Decontamination complete.

How is he?

Steady growth, heart rate's stable at 140 bpm.

You okay? You look a little pale.

Just drained.

Go home. I can take over.

Thanks.'ll just finish up.

You know, if you're getting a bug,

you shouldn't be in there.

Until we understand the immune system, we probably

- should just... - I'm fine.

I just need a little sleep.

This one must be from the psych team. Yes,

in fact, I am having homicidal thoughts,

thank you for asking.

I want to kill whoever dehydrated the turkey chili,

because... it blows.

Uh, mechanical. Honestly, the only problem is

this condensation on the hub.

It's slowing down communications,

and Ben is malfunctioning more than usual.

I'd love some help from Engineering.

Signing off. Same time next week.

Bring him down, sir.

Use the condensation as a cover

if you have to, but get him on the ground.

These missions are scheduled years in advance.

I can't just pull him down.

You got what you wanted with Molly.

There's no reason to keep him on the Seraphim.

Sooner or later, Glass will have an encounter,

- and then what do we do? - It's not my call.

Well, whose call is it?

You were late.

It won't happen again.

Get some sleep, Gordon.

You look terrible.

What's wrong?

We got most of the med team out before lockdown,

but Meehan's still inside.

Calder blocked the door.

What about the entity? Is it safe?

Vitals are normal, breach protocol was followed to a T.

I don't know what's happening to him, sir.

Who is he talking to?

There's no one there.

Where's Meehan?

Hiding.

There he is.

What the hell?

He's gone crazy!

Get me... get me out of here!

Get the ops team in there now.

- Send them in! - He's gonna kill me!

He's gonna kill me!

No! No! No!

Drop your weapon!

Turn around! Hands in the air!

Shh.

He's sleeping.

Hi.

Good morning.

Do you want to tell me about your dream?

Pretty scary, huh?

Well, dreams are just your subconscious

trying to make sense out of what happens to you during the day.

What's a subconscious?

The secret part of you.

What do you mean?

Well, there's the part of you

that's here with me right now.

And there's another part of you

that just belongs to you.

I don't think I have that part.

Of course you do.

Everybody does.

Can I stay with you today?

You can come to work with me.

I want to stay with Mom.

Come on, we have to tell the gang about your dream.

Maybe you've got some other superpowers we don't know about.

What do you say?

Go on. Next time.

Toast is on the table. Quick like a rabbit.

We are still years away

from being able to program REM cycles.

Whatever initiated this dream simulation

didn't come from us.

Can the program learn how to do it?

Not on its own.

I mean, it must have advanced

to override the damage from-from the shutdown

on the island. If that's true,

dreams are just the beginning.

I need to get him to the lab.

I need to get some answers.

Here's how you're gonna figure this out.

What is it?

It's how Ethan's ears record sound

to be analyzed by the motherboard in his brain.

Okay.

A few nanometers of graphene in a conductor gel.

The graphene is stimulated by the heat

from the skin tissue. As it melts,

it'll transmit audio to your cell phone frequency.

So you can find out what Sparks has on Sam.

So, you want me to spy on her?

You have to find out what they have on her.

She was the only guest at our wedding.

You spent every summer at her lake house for years.

And she lied to both of us.

Come on, Molly.

The roster is not long, and the bench doesn't get any deeper.

I've known you for 15 years.

You've never loved making friends.

Thanks.

That's not what I mean.

Hey, Sam is working with them.

Maybe she knows what they did with the baby.

Yeah.

Late!

Oh. Hey. Sorry, boss.

I thought you were Julie.

What's with this delinquent?

Playing hooky?

Come on. Tell him what happened.

What happened?

I had a dream.

Shut... up.

It was a bad dream.

Are you kidding me?

No.

He woke up screaming.

Dude!

I mean, uh, are you okay?

I'm sorry.

It's amazing.
