00:05 There must be 30 dead scientists in the past month.

00:10 Christ.

00:13 Auggie, she excels as a scientist.
00:16 We meet her in a very dark place,
00:18 and we see her seeing numbers,
00:19 and we don't really understand what's going on with her.
00:22 Jen is a genius scientist of her generation,
00:25 so she's sought after by a lot of different people.
00:28 Will is one of five chosen scientists
00:32 at Oxford University
00:33 who became a very bonded group of friends.
00:37 What happened to them?
00:39 The Oxford Five, they were handpicked from around the world
00:42 to be part of this special program.
00:45 We have been all spread apart for a very long time,
00:47 and then we see them for the first time
00:49 after many years reuniting.
00:51 When we first meet Saul, it's kind of like on the periphery
00:53 compared to some of his closest friends,
00:55 and he stays behind to just remain a research assistant.
00:59 And I think it's not until the situation surfaces
01:02 that he's kind of forced to pay more attention to things
01:05 that are outside of his immediate environment.
01:07 Jack's a bit of a controversial figure
01:09 amongst the rest of the Oxford Five
01:11 because he decided to leave academia behind.
01:15 Raj is the first person Jen's kind of let in, in a way,
01:18 the first romantic person that she's gotten this close with.
01:21 As loyal as he is to the Navy, to his family,
01:25 he's that loyal as a partner in this relationship.
01:28 There aren't many occasions within the show
01:30 where you see the entire group together,
01:33 but when you do, it feels like the puzzle is complete.
01:36 They're going after our best and brightest.
01:38 Thomas Wade.
01:39 I think you could describe him as a shadowy figure.
01:41 Dasher, he's like this ex-MI5 agent,
01:45 and it's up to him to solve why a spate of suicides
01:51 in the scientific world have been happening.
01:53 We're trying to get these people to save humanity.
01:57 These two are kind of at the forefront
01:59 and are helming this mission.
02:01 There's someone behind everything.
02:03 We just have to dig.
02:04 Tatiana is a protector.
02:07 It comes from true belief that she is doing the right thing
02:10 by the people around her, even if it seems extreme.

02:16 You were not invited.
02:18 So far in this season, it kind of acts as the game master.
02:21 She's not doing anything for humanity's benefit.
02:25 Maybe we can't know what they are.
02:27 Ye is the instigator.
02:29 She basically has gone through an experience
02:32 that's so traumatic and has the opportunity
02:34 to change the course of history and chooses to do that.
02:38 Some people go with the flow,
02:40 adapt themselves to the hardship of society.
02:43 Some people rebel against it.
02:45 That is my role.
02:47 I play Mark Evans, a multi-billionaire
02:50 who has interests beyond this planet.
02:53 [Thunder crashes]
02:54 I don't think we've ever seen something like this on TV.
02:57 We have got one shot.
02:59 Just such a wild ride.
03:02 And I need your help.
03:03 Such high-level stakes, really.
