00:00Previously on the ark lieutenant Bryce was the pilot on a covert mission to intercept the attack on the lunar base
00:05He intentionally threw the mission in service of the Eastern Federation. You had the chance to save my father. I'm so sorry
00:11This is my brother. He's with the Eastern Federation
00:23Organs might be failing but her implants have not been on for that long
00:27It's Eastern Federation
00:33What do we know so far the EF to one of two Eastern Federation ships to get off earth before arc 3 according to its database
00:40Well, they're packing some heavy artillery and it's all trained on us. So not a social visit then
00:45Get us out of here Bryce. The FTL is fully charged, but I'm gonna need a while to chart a course
00:49There's no time for that. We don't know their intention. Well in that case
00:52Everybody cross your fingers and toes
00:56No
01:05What the hell is that Scotsman doing to my ship
01:13Yeah, no I owe you an explanation your majesty
01:15But it's not like I had much of a bloody choice since we were trying to escape death
01:21Which can only help us there's no way that ship couldn't find us again, which begs the question
01:26In all the vastness of space, how the hell did they find us in the first place?
01:29And what could they possibly want? Well, I hate to say it but Ava is an EF operative. Oh, here we go
01:34I think we both know it's a little more complicated than that. Oh comes razor
01:38The most likely explanation is that she made contact. Well, how would she be able to she's been locked in her cabin?
01:42Well, she might have done it before we locked her up. Hang on. Hang on. That's a pretty serious accusation
01:48So how about we don't go jump into conclusions before we've actually bothered speaking to her
01:51Oh because she's been so forthcoming with us this whole time. Look mate. I know Ava a lot better
01:56For God's sake Bryce move your brains from your crotch to your skull. She's one of them
02:01Spence I know you go through a lot. So I'll let that one slide. Otherwise you would be out cold on the floor
02:06Stop it both of you
02:12Strickland please bring Ava to the ready room on my way
02:21I
02:27Should doing
02:31There's been no improvements but these vitals she could die
02:37Why haven't the nanites helped yet? I'm not sure
02:41She's always healed faster than this
02:44She should have stabilized by now
02:51Ava you admitted you were a member of the Eastern Federation
02:55That was your chance to explain yourself
02:57Okay, not much to it
03:00When I was trying to get off earth, it seemed like the F would never even finish building their ship
03:05So Harris and I changed our records pose this GSA and got onto arc one so we could escape Earth, right?
03:13Not such a crime. No, is it? Sorry, which part fraud or sneaking onto a government vessel Ava?
03:19The Eastern Federation showed up with weapons pointed at us
03:23They did. Yeah, we lost them. They jump into FTL. I need to know did you contact them?
03:28No, then how did they find us? I
03:31don't know I
03:34Am loyal to this ship. Why should we believe you? How do we know you're not loyal to the Eastern Federation?
03:40Lieutenant Lane after all I've done for this ship and this crew
03:43How can you question my loyalty because you already admitted you were loyal to those monsters. I was at one time
03:48But you're wrong about them. They aren't monsters really
03:52And how many GSA people need to die before we can categorize them as monsters in your eyes?
03:56They have a good reason to hate the GSA. I did before I got on this ship. I still hate some of the command structure
04:03We left behind
04:05what kind of leaders send a young recruit on a suicide mission without even telling them and
04:11Do you even know what they were doing on that lunar research colony?
04:15Not really it was a top-secret mission
04:18The GSA was developing a biological weapon that would have wiped out most of the world's population
04:24Wait, what how dare you my father was a hero
04:29Felix get her out of here
04:31We need to focus on the current problem
04:35Ava if you didn't contact them, do you have any idea how they found us or what they want?
04:40No, can you at least tell us what kind of weapons they have on board their vulnerabilities? I
04:47Don't know anything about the EF ships. They launched after we did really didn't use three of them to kill my father
04:53I wasn't there
04:56But the fighters who were used small converted shuttles
05:01Captain they're preparing to jump out of FTL Strickland return her to her quarters. We'll continue this conversation later
05:13Well, where are we
05:16About five light-years off course in the middle of nowhere
05:18So it's a new trajectory for Trappist and gets back on track, but the FTL is gonna take some time to charge. Sounds good
05:36How the hell did they find us again and even we didn't know where we were going
05:47What the hell
05:50Sensors just detected an energy spike in engineering
05:54Engineering damage report
05:57Engineering we've just been hit with a doozy of an EM pulse
06:02We've got no engines we're sitting ducks
06:16You
06:33Why aren't they shooting at us? What are they waiting for? They're probably just relishing the moment
06:42They're attempting to hail us on comms
06:47Ah
06:50One this is captain Zeta Vega of the EF to
06:56Surrender our soldier to us at once. I'm captain Sharon Garnett of arc one. Why do you want Ava?
07:02Ava
07:04No, I want boy and Volkovich
07:08Hand him over along with the shuttle. He stole from us. Of course. They were tracking their shuttle this whole time
07:16Hmm, I would gladly surrender boy. Um, but I'm sorry to tell you this he died
07:24We rescued him from arc three, but he took his own life. I
07:28Don't believe you. I'm telling the truth. We'll gladly return your shuttle, but Boyan's not here
07:46I assume by Ava you mean Boyan sister Ava Volkovich
07:52Return her on my shuttle if she verifies what you say about Boyan's death
07:58We'll be on our way. You have a lot of weapons hanging off your ship
08:01How do we know you won't open fire on us either way?
08:05Despite what you've been led to believe captain
08:08We're not cold-blooded killers like the GSA and unlike the GSA
08:13I have no desire to push the human race closer to extinction
08:18Previous Eastern Federation actions be like that captain. I myself have lost a lot of friends to EF attacks
08:23I'm not going to explain EF actions to a GSA officer. So let me make myself perfectly clear
08:31If you do not return Ava and my shuttle, I will have no choice but to destroy your ship
08:40You have 20 minutes
08:43I
08:45Sharon you're not seriously considering sending her over there, right?
08:50She should decide this is her life. We need to consider the lives of everyone on this ship
08:55Send her back to her people and we might just live to fight another day. It should be Ava's choice
09:00Hopefully she chooses to rejoin them and save the rest of our crew
09:05Alicia
09:06Go check with mr. Trust to see if there's anything you can do to get the engines back up sooner
09:13Oh
09:19Hey, what are you doing out of yourself security?
09:31Something wrong security you wish to report something
09:34But
09:41They want us to return you in their shuttle if we don't I said they'll destroy us
09:49Then I have to go or to take up this ship and everyone on it
09:55I
10:03Eva
10:05Seems like you don't want to go back. I don't want to leave Bryce. I
10:11Don't want to leave my friends in the ark
10:15But you said you hated us I said I hated the GSA leadership, but that's not who any of you are
10:26I
10:29Trust
10:31Garnet you didn't have to send a genius girl here
10:34I had it under control except you missed the fact that the differential battery is misaligned. I missed
10:42How can I help you captain do you remember when you told me if we ever wanted to rig up a makeshift weapon you had
10:48an idea how to do it Oh
10:51I thought you'd never ask
10:55Oh
10:59All right, everyone we're perfectly safe there's nothing more to see let's go back to our posts, please come on. Yeah, let's go
11:13Are you not at all worried about what's on the other side of that glass
11:18Rather people have been trying to kill me every day in my life since I was born
11:23Literally to me, it's just Tuesday. It's Thursday you see that
11:30You see days where there are none and I see everything is one long endless Tuesday
11:35Yeah, it's amazing how different we are is it which reminds me something's just been running through my head
11:40How the hell is it you came to be raised as a normal?
11:44I
11:46Don't know as far back as I can remember I had a mom and a dad I don't remember any lab
11:53You got any pictures your parents
11:58Yeah
12:03Ah
12:05See now that explains a lot
12:08What do you mean?
12:10Your dad was the officer we used to see through the window when we was at the labs kids
12:14I think he was the officer that was in charge
12:18You sure yeah
12:21He must have taken you from the facility. Well, he stole me as a baby. Well, I don't have that stole. I
12:28Mean technically we might have all been his property to begin with if you know what I mean
12:36Oh God
12:38They told me that my mother couldn't have children after she had me
12:42Well, maybe she could never have children in the first place. He brought me home so that they could raise me as their own
12:51It's all a lie
12:59They just hailed us put them through
13:02Captain Avega appreciate your patience captain garnet. Have you reached a decision?
13:09Are you sending a for Vukovich or not?
13:15I'll let Ava speak for herself
13:23Captain Vega with respect. I prefer to stay here. I thought I made myself clear
13:29This is non-negotiable, it's Ava's choice not yours or mine. She wants to stay with us. You're welcome to take your show back
13:38How do I know she's not talking under duress? I'm speaking freely. They left it up to me
13:46Then you've dug your own grave
13:50Sharon
13:53They're ordering their weapons
13:56Now mr. Trust
14:09Their weapons just lost power
14:13Great job, mr. Trust. You're welcome. That all I did was buy us time, but we still have to fix our engines
14:20Before they fix their weapons
14:26There
14:28Will be consequences for this GSA we were merely defending ourselves as well. We as well we
14:39May I suggest we send a second pulse targeting the life-support system
14:43No, you'd be killing everyone on board
14:45You can bet your friends on that ship are trying to fix their weapons. They can kill everybody on our ship
14:50If we attack them without giving them a chance, what does that say about us that we like being alive?
14:56That we're exactly who they think we are what you thinking Sharon
15:05Captain Avega, I think it would be in both our interests to meet what for peace talks
15:13Sounds like a trap only a fool would fall for if we wanted you dead
15:17We would have attacked your life-support systems. You don't have the ability to take out our life-support. How do you think we took out your weapons?
15:26There's nothing for us to talk about
15:29Fine I really hoped you'd be willing to talk
15:33Goodbye, captain. Ready the EM cannon
15:36Tune it to their life-support frequencies
15:43Yes, ma'am readying the weapons no ready on my command
15:53I propose a swap
15:56swap
15:57I'll come unarmed
15:59with my second-in-command to meet you and yours
16:03But to assure my safety you will send two of your people to my ship if anything happens to us while aboard your ship
16:12The same will happen to your people here. I assure you nothing bad will happen here
16:17Then nothing bad will happen to your people on my ship
16:21Give me a moment
16:24Thoughts?
16:25I'll go
16:27No, I need you as my number two in the negotiations. I'm your number two. EF killed your father
16:32Do you really think you're the one to be negotiating peace? I'll go
16:36With? Kimmy. Kimmy is a friggin EF hunter. How about Griff?
16:53I
17:23I
17:38With a Vega coming here for peace talks, I need you to tell me everything you can about the Eastern Federation
17:43I'll tell you what I know. I keep telling you they aren't who you believe they are
17:47The EF has stopped the GSA from doing a lot of bad
17:51Mr. Trust you worked with the GSA for years. What's your take?
17:54Well, I wasn't working for the GSA when the whole Lunar Colony thing happened
17:58They came calling to me after that. But do you recall the state of the earth at the time?
18:02Yeah, large sections of Earth's mantle were turning molten, crowding survivors into less and less space
18:06Yes, and as a result resources were slim, which is why in my opinion the GSA was doing the right thing
18:13The right thing?
18:14For example, had that Lunar Colony mission been successful
18:17It would have made my job much easier once I started working with the program. What do you mean?
18:21What were they trying to do?
18:22They were trying to develop a bio agent to painlessly kill six billion people on Earth
18:29I'm sorry. Did you?
18:32Did you just say billion?
18:34With a B? Yes
18:37Look, it's quite logical. With fewer people remaining, Earth's slim resources would have lasted longer and I would have had time to build more ships
18:44Killing many to save more
18:46Precisely. Why didn't you tell us about this sooner?
18:50You never asked. It just sounds too evil to be true
18:54Look, it's simple maths. The billions they would have killed would have died anyway a few months later
18:58Their early deaths would have saved the lives of many others. It's a trolley problem
19:02The trolley problem?
19:04It's an old philosophy thought experiment
19:07You have the controls of a train that's barreling toward ten people on a track
19:11You can switch to a different track, but that track has one person on it
19:14That track has one person on it who would die
19:17What would you do?
19:18Well, that seems fairly obvious. I mean, you'd kill the one to save the ten, right?
19:23But what if the ten were 90 years old and the one was a baby?
19:29I guess, um
19:32I guess you would kill the ten because the baby has its whole life ahead of it exactly what the GSA thought
19:37So you're saying that
19:39My dad's program was designed to murder billions of innocent people
19:45Who would have died anyway soon enough?
19:47It would have helped to save many more human beings in the long run, but you're left out one thing
19:52Who chose who survived?
19:56The GSA
19:58Yes
19:59And they chose themselves the wealthiest and the most powerful
20:03That's why the EF wanted to stop it. I had no idea. I'm, sorry. I just I need a minute
20:15So
20:18If what you two are saying is true, does that mean
20:23Are we the bad guys
20:35You go a minute sure, how are you holding up?
20:45He was a good dad
20:48At least the man who was pretending to be my father was a good dad. Yeah, i'm sure he was
20:54At home, you know
20:57He was making a biological weapon to kill six billion people
21:01He must have somehow believed he was doing the right thing
21:04same twisted logic that trust is
21:08You know, if you'd have succeeded in stopping the eastern federation from attacking the lunar colony, he would have killed all those people
21:14Yeah
21:16Yeah, I mean I
21:19I don't really know how I feel about all that to be honest
21:23I always thought it was the biggest mistake of my entire life. So
21:31Spence are we all right? We will be
21:44So
21:51Kimmy
21:53captain, I um
21:56I've heard you've arranged peace talks with the enemy. That's a mistake. We'll see right now. I need to pick your brain
22:02Arc 15 left earth quite a while after arc one
22:06What can you tell me about what happened between the gsa and the eastern federation during that time? Well, I guess
22:11Is
22:13You want to know if the gsa were in the wrong
22:18Uh
22:19Kinda
22:21Well, I hate to break it to you. But from where I was standing they sure as hell were
22:26That's not true. But then so were the eastern federation
22:29They both did bad things take it from a clone. It was abused by everyone
22:36Ian you're a perfect neutral party
22:39Uh, thanks, you're not affiliated with the gsa or the eastern federation perfect to mediate the peace talks
22:50Well, I guess I can play intergalactic peacemaker today and finish my book tomorrow, yeah
23:09So
23:14Captain garnet spread your arms and legs, please
23:17Captain avega. This is felix strickland and jelena griff. They will be going to your ship
23:22Jelena
23:24A nice slavic name. I'm serbian
23:27Of course you are
23:28Never understood why so many from our part of the world would join the gsa instead of the ef. Okay
23:34NASA and the euro space agency merged with the serbo-croatian space agency to keep them in the fold
23:39They were one of the three best space agencies on earth. The gsa was arguably the best
23:44I'll beg to differ
23:46Let's just say combined
23:48They were better than the sum of their parts
23:51I assure you
23:52You will both be safe aboard the ef2 as long as your captain keeps her word. I will if you will
23:59Captain avega. This is lieutenant james bryce
24:02And ian your mediator
24:05No last name
24:07No, just him. He's a clone
24:09That I am the eastern federation has historically
24:14Disapproved of clones. So is the gsa which is why he's an excellent neutral party
24:20Right this way captain
24:22Right this way captain
24:25Choices like that are exactly why I can't imagine any peace between us
24:30Not with that attitude
24:31Now tell me have you ever tried potato vodka?
24:34So
24:49Can we all just stop talking at the same time, please thanks, this is pointless
24:55So
25:02Captain
25:06What's your end game here just drift alone in space forever an island unto yourselves
25:13No
25:15We're going to trappist
25:19Why trappist specifically
25:22We received intel the gsa ships were headed for proxima and ross
25:28We wanted to avoid them
25:30I hate to tell you this but there's already a gsa colony being built as we speak at trappist
25:36And more gsa ships headed there. You wouldn't be avoiding anyone
25:41So that leaves you only one other option what's that find another planet
25:48So
25:50Come with us
25:56Why would you trust us I would only under one condition your ship fully disarms
26:04Absolutely not. So what are you gonna do then?
26:07We're going to keep our weapons and when we get to trappist, we'll fight for what's ours
26:13restitch
26:14We're finished here
26:17Oh
26:23Can we just hold on let's take a minute can we just grab some snacks
26:29You can't give up that easily
26:32I'm, sorry. It wasn't the outcome you wanted but you'll have to excuse us
26:37Go ahead do it squeeze the life out of me
26:42Everyone stay where you are. What are you doing? Sharon kill me
26:46Have you lost your mind kill me
26:49Then my people will kill you your ship will fire mine mine yours and everybody will die
26:54Even though none of them had anything to do with this and nothing to do with what happened in the past
26:58And if your other ships ever find trappist
27:00The gsa will attack them on sight your ships will fire back and on and on this endless cycle of violence will continue
27:06Until there's no one left. So go ahead
27:09Kill me
27:10You've made your point. Do you let a finger on my captain? You're gonna be the world of her pal
27:15I
27:18Don't think I have
27:22In our first encounter you said to me you didn't want to contribute to the extinction of the human race
27:28That's it
27:30Did you mean it or not because if you walk out this room, that's exactly what you'll be doing
27:36Let's go on
27:38Start with me first
27:41So
27:44She always this forceful or you have no idea
28:04If we disarm
28:07You
28:08How do we know the gsa won't open fire on us when we arrive at trappist?
28:14You follow us there
28:16When we arrive you wait behind at a safe distance. We'll negotiate with the others for you to peacefully join the colony
28:23When it's safe, i'll summon you
28:27We can't disarm captain it's suicide if you arrive at trappist with weapons hanging off your ship I guarantee
28:34You
28:36They will open fire on you
28:38You have to dismantle them
28:47You aren't seriously considering this
28:51She has a point no, she doesn't like it or not restage
28:56Garnett's plan may be the last and only hope for us all
29:01Yeah, all right
29:04Let's talk about how we make this happen you can't be serious
29:09This decision will ensure that gsa kills us all
29:12We owe it to humanity to try peace
29:17You're a damn fool a vega that's enough lieutenant
29:27Shall we
29:30So
29:32So
29:58I don't know why
30:02I can't stop thinking about you. Thank you for coming
30:33How is she awake
30:40Angus kelly
30:44What the hell are you doing, I don't know what just happened kelly's vitals are stabilizing
30:54Nanites
30:56Huh, she needed all her nanites in order to heal so they found their way home
31:02So i'm not crazy
31:05No
31:07Nanites are like like tiny robots. They can affect any organ in your body
31:14Including your brain they led you to this moment
31:19You're gonna be okay kelly
31:22So
31:29Wait, there were two of them
31:31Our man who went to your ship was our head of security
31:33So lieutenant lane and kimmy joma have been filling in for him while he's gone
31:37Once we return i'll send your people right over then i'll brief my crew
31:42on the conditions of the peace plan
31:45Garnett I want to thank you
31:47You opened my eyes
31:49In a way a lesser leader would not have been able to
31:55Thank you captain I can't let you do this Vega look out
32:09Easy easy. He's still got a pulse. Thank god
32:20I got him lane. Help me get him to my bed. Stay with me
32:31Wayne
32:40Sharon
32:43I got you. Hey, hey, I got you
32:45Hey, it's okay. It's okay. You're okay. Hey, you're okay
32:52Call medbay
33:00I'll stay with lane
33:05Captain garnett the ef2's been calling wanting to know where the shuttle hasn't launched. What the hell? Oh my god. What happened?
33:16Ef2 this is captain garnett garnett
33:20I'm second lieutenant. Boyk. What is going on over there? I wish we were meeting under better circumstances, but
33:27Something terrible has happened lieutenant restitch attacked captain avega and one of our men
33:35With a knife he smuggled aboard I tried to tell him I wish I didn't trust you
33:45We had nothing to do with it
33:47He'd tell you himself that we did. I have no choice but to execute one of them both
33:52If you don't return lieutenant restitch unharmed
33:56Captain avega is still alive. Our doctors are trying to save his life as we speak
34:00You have one more hour to save our leader
34:05Damn it
34:15Okay
34:22That knife did a lot of damage I can't stop the bleeding clean
34:27Pressure is dropping
34:29God damn it. What?
34:31I've been trying to repair his liver, but it's so trashed. It literally disintegrate under the suit. Just keep cleaning this
34:37If he dies, it'll cause a war. Well, i'm sorry, but unless you know how to make liver out of plain cloth
34:44In a few hours, he's a dead man
34:47He needs to stop this blood clean clean
34:50Come on, spencer
34:56Doctors
34:58Update
35:01It's not good sharon
35:03The knife destroyed captain avega's liver I
35:06I can't save him. Well, you you gotta save him because they're gonna kill strickland and griff and probably the rest of us
35:11If you don't i'm not god
35:14There's only so much I can do
35:19Sanji
35:22I don't um, I don't think spencer is gonna make it either sharon
35:28What
35:31Both his kidneys are damaged
35:33His spleen is basically gone. He's lost two liters of blood and we can't pump it into him fast enough
35:39Well, there's got to be something you can do I have tried everything I know, please believe me
35:45Okay, well switch patients. Maybe there's something that you missed that that you didn't see in the other way around
35:51The beer has tried everything I would have
35:54And the other way around
35:56How about kelly's neonates?
35:58They can repair a lot of damage, but they cannot manufacture all organs
