Extant

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

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 surviving.

Previously on extant...

Harmon.

He's gone.

Every time your baby has created

An alternate reality, he's had an agenda.

He's alone and afraid in a world

That he just doesn't understand.

And he needs his mother to save him.

I came all the way here because I trusted you.

Daddy, whose side are you on?

You have to choose.

It's over.

He's gone.

Do not recover the ship.

You covered up your own daughter's death.

And sent our people into harm's way.

You have to understand how powerful that being is.

This is the triomphe.

We just performed a retrieval.

It appears to be an isea-issue craft.

Sean glass?

You found an escape pod?

There was only a faint signal.

No signs of life...

Until we opened it.

Sean.

Katie?

I don't feel like myself.

I thought you were dead, katie.

We were told everyone was killed in the fire.

There was no fire.

I left the aruna drifting with its crew.

Or what was left of them.

It was... Like a...

Like a madness...

That spread like a virus.

And I told myself that the people that I knew...

You knew most of them, too...

They weren't themselves anymore.

They were killing each other.

What the hell was it?

I have no idea.

I just had this feeling that it wasn't from earth.

From us.

I put myself in the vite-pod

And programmed it for a medical coma.

There was no way that I was gonna be rescued in time.

But you were.

Yeah.

By the freakin' french.

23 months.

I know.

It's a miracle.

He's sleeping.

He just killed a man.

He said I did something.

What does that mean?

We know what he did. He fooled us.

He only came back to gain access to our internal network.

He logged in for two minutes before you stopped him.

This is our deep orbit com-sat array.

Sparks inserted code that flipped it into a systems check.

We have no way to contact our missions till it cycles through.

What about the seraphim?

In the dark another few hours.

I've authorized a rescue mission to evacuate sean glass

As soon as we get our come back.

Any theories why sparks would do this?

I don't know.

Could there be others helping him?

Well, I helped him. When we were

At the cabins, he showed me something I wanted to see.

He made me think I was entering codes into an incubator,

But I think I was entering codes into another system.

And only sparks knows what those codes are.

Talk to him.

And take this.

He hasn't been told, yet.

Okay.

We found her last night.

And there's no sign of my son.

Talk to me before this gets any worse.

Looking at a-a picture like that, it's...

Hard not to give in to your emotion.

Give in?

You love her!

She was your wife.

It's temporary.

See, your boy...

He always gives back what he takes away.

I'll see her again.

What did I do at the cabins?

You were there, you watched me.

If I did something terrible, I need to know what it is.

You're a broken woman, molly.

Losing katie, that broke who I was.

But it made me strong enough to do what I had to do.

You lost a family with marcus.

That's the world we live in.

Life breaks us...

So it can make us stronger.

But what if you didn't ever have to break?

What if you could be made whole again?

You deserve that.

We all do.

And we're going to get it.

I'm gonna get my own answers.

Com-sat is down.

So the craziest, best v-chron in the history

Of earth-bound messages is gonna have to wait.

Is it terrible that I'm happy I might get to wash my hair first?

Building a fort with the tools?

Fixing my bed.

You're a terrible host.

We all had to do grief counseling, you know.

With washburn?

Uh, new guy.

He said I processed your death very well.

Always the overachiever.

Did you tell him everything about us?

I told him we were close during training.

That you got drunk and kissed me one night.

And I may have spent eight months chasing that moment.

He didn't push, because I was grieving so fantastically.

You didn't make it easy for me.

To do what?

Make me feel invisible?

Your dad didn't run the program.

There was nothing I could do.

How is my dad?

Is he okay?

He's gonna be now.

I've got to go.

You gonna be all right?

Yes.

Will you come back?

Of course.

We're friends, right?

Friends stick together.

But if anything happens...

What do you mean?

You know what I mean.

If your dad...

If john takes you to the lab, and you think...

If you really think they're gonna do something radical...

My parents would never shut me down.

And you really believe that?

You ask them, they won't admit it, but...

They don't really see you as part of the family.

Julie told me your mom's having a lot of trouble.

Maybe they just see you as different.

I don't have to be.

They probably won't do anything,

But if you think that's what's going on,

I want you to get in touch with me.

How?

This is a very special phone,

But it's only for use in emergencies.

We use them at war.

Now...

You press this button and I'm gonna know it's you,

I'm gonna know how to find you,

And I'm gonna come straight away.

Really? Mm-hmm.

But only press it

When you're in the lab and it's really happening.

You heard about the boy who cried "wolf"?

Hmm. That's a story for another time.

Oh.

Hey, man.

No hugs.

Soldiers salute.

The com-sat orbit is out at a two minute radio delay.

If the array is back up on schedule,

We should start receiving signals from our stations

In just a few moments. How soon can we get sean off the seraphim?

There's a gamma seven series prepping to launch

Once sean can verify he's received your message

And confirms the system's status.

Twenty seconds.

I believed as a kid, you know.

They teach you the drake equation,

They teach you it's impossible odds

To make contact with an alien intelligence.

But I knew we weren't alone.

Did you believe in ufo's as a kid?

Believe in 'em? I wanted to fly 'em.

Thank god, they're back.

Seraphim's still dark. I.D. Seraphim.

Com-sat is not receiving any signals from the seraphim.

The seraphim station is no longer in its predicted orbit.

Well, it can't just be gone.

Something happened when the com-sats were down.
