Extant

Molly: 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 surviving.

Previously on Extant...

John: Ethan suddenly speaks Japanese.

wow.

Human beings can't learn a language

in a single day, so Ethan shouldn't be able to, either.

I think we should install

some sort of governing mechanism.

But that goes against everything you've ever said.

You're good.

I'm Odin.

- You want to come in? - Next time.

Odin: We have lost our souls to machines.

We need a reckoning. Starting right here.

Sparks: With your prints,

he stole the aruna transmission file.

Dad, I'm gonna die up here.

Molly: What kind of father

sends his daughter into harm's way like that, Alan?

Katie: Dad?

Katie.

What do you want?

I want to know where my baby is.

I'll find it.

Guard: Security breach. Code Black.

Molly Woods is in the building.

Have security forces been mobilized?

Yes.

shh!

It's me.

You can go with them or you can come with me. Your choice.

- Kryger? - Go, go, go.

Gina, Oasis Mode. Windows on Seclude.

How do you know they didn't follow us here?

Because I'd know if we were seen, and it's

my job to activate a team to follow you.

No, we got away clean.

We're safe here. You can trust me.

You want me to trust you?

Tell me everything. The truth.

When Sparks came to pick you up from your party,

you were right to run to Vaspar.

He was bringing you in to extract the Offspring.

- The Offspring? - That's what we call it.

When you fled, we had to improvise.

Sparks may seem like the man in charge,

but I think there's somebody else who's pulling the strings,

somebody outside the ISEA.

- Who? - I don't know.

But whoever he is, he outfitted the hospital ship

with a surgical team.

They erased all the evidence of your pregnancy, and then

they put you back on the island.

And Ethan?

He was used to lure you into the woods.

And the baby? It's alive?

It's a he.

You're lucky, Odin.

I don't usually let in handsome foreigners until after 2:00.

John?

- Why did you do it? - Do what?

Reset Ethan's access protocols.

- What are you talking about? - You've been against

the idea of installing governors I-in Ethan

since I brought it up.

Now all of a sudden I can't get in?

Wait. So, you actually tried to slow him down

and he blocked your access?

No, no, no, no. You blocked my access.

Okay, I may not agree with

intentionally limiting his natural development,

but I would not go behind your back to stop you.

Wow.

I guess you thought I would.

But h-how would he even do it?

I mean, we-we built in safeguards

to prevent him from interfering with the coding process.

I don't know. Why would the most advanced AI on the planet

stop you from hobbling his mind?

I didn't mean to...

Are you alone?

What if I'm not?

- I should go. - Yeah.

He's in an artificial womb

about 20 floors below where you were poking around.

It's not gonna be a baby for long; it's growing fast.

They're treating an alien intelligence far beyond

our comprehension like a lab rat.

Molly, I know what you're thinking.

You are not its mother; you were its host.

He sent me a message tonight.

He scattered a flock of birds in-in the shape of the pattern.

It's trying to speak to us.

And it wants to communicate through you.

I'm sorry.

It made me flush my mother into space.

It ain't the baby Jesus.

Whatever he is, I brought him here.

And I'm gonna get him out.

You think you're getting back

into that building after what happened today?

It's impossible.

If Sparks is running a rogue operation,

just go to the ISEA and tell them.

Tell them what?

Without proof of the baby, we got nothing.

We have the Aruna file.

They killed Derek Pearce because I sent him an e-mail.

What do you think will happen if I go in there with

just my story and the Aruna file?

What choice do we have, huh?

Sparks reports to the board.

You walk into the morning meeting, you play them the file.

- They can't all be in on it. - And what if

Sparks buries the truth of the baby before they see it?

They're never gonna know what he did.

But it'll be over. And we'll be safe.

Hey, hold up.

You don't believe this, do you?

That this-this thing is trying to communicate with Molly?

It chose her for a reason.

But the way it's being treated, that may change everything.

I was an Air Force MP all the way through Second Korea.

I was stationed in all kinds of hellholes

across this rock, and there is one thing

that has never changed: If you lock someone in a box

who doesn't belong there,

he's got a lot to say when you finally let him out.

Sparks is going about this the wrong way.

He's gonna get a lot of people hurt.

You don't have to convince me. I almost got my ticket punched.

- I never intended on killing you. - Well, you could've fooled me.

No one's stopping you from walking.

And leave you alone with Molly? Hell no.

Right now, she is the only friend I have on this planet.

And this whole switching sides thing seems rather convenient.

Maybe I stick around to make sure you don't pull another 180.

Your call.

But you can trust me.

No offense, but the only person I trust is me at this point.

Claypool has been compromised.

Molly Woods breached the upper floor and managed to escape.

How is this possible?

I don't know.

But with her getting this close,

I believe the entire operation is at risk.

I also believe that it's time to eliminate that risk.

For so long, you've wanted to protect her, and now...

Molly's a very smart woman.

She's a viable threat to the Offspring.

But she is its mother.

There could be consequences if we eliminate her.

We must ensure its continued growth.

Even at the risk of being discovered?

It's a risk we must manage.

I'm dying, Alan.

The substance that sustains me has nearly been exhausted.

Despite my best efforts, I have failed to reproduce it.

We could do another mission.

We could learn from the mistakes we made with the Aruna.

Why send another mining expedition when we have

in our possession perhaps something more valuable?

Billions were spent locating the source of the substance,

and we encounter the entity in the same location?

It can't be coincidence.

It's all the more reason to protect it.

Yes, there are many reasons.

You yourself have one.

Sir?

I've seen the surveillance footage.

At first, it was difficult to understand

what was happening.

But it became clear you were able to see Katie.

That she had come back to life for you.

What a wonderful gift you've been given.

What is it like?

A miracle.

I can only imagine.

I need the Offspring to stay alive.

You need it to have a reason to live.

What would you like for me to do, sir?

Relocate the Offspring to the contingency site immediately.

But Molly Woods is not to be harmed.

When we know the Offspring has no use for its mother,

you can do what you wish.

Place call.

Anya Sparks.

Alan? Alan, what's wrong?

Nothing. I just needed to talk.

Oh, you know, it's-it's late.

It's just, I was thinking of Katie.

You're the only one in the world who understands.

I understand that calling me makes you feel better. I do.
