Lost in Space (2018–…): Season 3, Episode 7 - Episode #3.7 - full transcript
Entering Alpha Centauri orbit.
It looks fine.
Scan complete.
There's no sign of alien ships.
Jude, how's Will?
He's holding stable.
What do you think?
I think we should take a closer look.
Girls, it's...
it's beautiful.
Would it have killed your mother
to put a window in here?
Jupiter 2,
this is operations.
You're all clear for landing.
Welcome home, Robinsons.
On approach.
Before I go out there,
I need to know, are we good?
We're bracing for an alien attack.
Will's in critical condition, and...
and you're worried about being arrested?
Hope for the best,
prepare for the worst, right?
Well, we talked,
and we all agreed to let karma handle it.
You know, in the end,
everyone gets what they deserve.
Come on, everyone. Let's go.
This is Judy Robinson of the Jupiter 2
requesting escort to medical.
Hey, no!
You stay here.
Most of the colonists here
have never seen an alien robot.
We don't wanna scare 'em.
This way. Follow me.
The doctors are waiting.
Waiting to get
the nano-sequencing back.
Family members only beyond this point.
Family only.
We're ready for him.
Wait.
Are you family?
Um...
No.
No, I guess I'm not.
- We've got it.
- I need to give you the report...
You haven't been through decontamination.
We received your transmission
and his charts.
Thanks to what you did up there
and the resources we have here,
I promise you,
your brother's going to make it.
He's gonna make it.
Okay.
Okay.
- We need to warn the others.
- Yeah.
Judy, stay and see if you can get
something for your shoulder.
Okay.
ID chip scanned.
Hello, Dr. Zoe Smith.
Where would you like to navigate?
Work or home?
Home.
- There's still no sign of them.
- Maureen. John!
- Hey.
- Where've you been?
You didn't follow us.
We were worried something happened.
- Oh!
- Something did.
We have bad news.
Can't remember a time
you arrived with good news.
That's fair, but this could be the worst.
Hey.
Oh my God!
- Hi!
- Oh!
Listen, I'm so sorry.
I should have stayed on your Jupiter.
It's okay. I had my family.
It's just, what kind of guy
leaves a girl alone in a time of crisis?
Here, um... I got these for you.
Flowers!
Not just any flowers.
Alpha Centauri humming flowers.
When the wind blows through them,
it sounds like music.
I wouldn't get too close.
They sound better than they smell.
Really?
Oh wow.
Should call them farting flowers.
Um...
Thank you.
They're beautiful.
Any... anyways, um...
it's really great that you made it,
and I hope that your brother's okay.
Thank you.
Really.
Oh, actually, um...
there's something you both should know.
Thank you for the warning.
If what you're saying is true,
shouldn't these robots be here?
We've been asking ourselves
the same thing,
but I'd rather be wrong and ready
than right and dead.
Unfortunately, Madam Chancellor,
I've found the Robinsons to be almost
always accurate in their conclusions.
So, everything we believed
about how we got here was a lie.
Does the colony have
any kind of defense system?
Until now, I wasn't aware we needed one.
Look, our priority has been
getting basic services running.
Water supply, power, et cetera.
I'm afraid
if we're going to defend ourselves,
we'll have to find another way.
How's he doing?
Oh, his vitals are strong.
They're giving him an artificial heart.
- What?
- He'll be okay.
With the bad air quality back on Earth,
I knew kids on the track team
that got artificial lungs
and never missed a beat.
Yeah, but Will's heart
is like his superpower.
A heart isn't determined
by what it's made of.
It's... it's what you believe in.
It's what you fight for.
Will isn't gonna let that change.
Judy, he knew these robots
better than anyone.
If Will couldn't beat SAR, what makes us
think we can do it without him?
Can we divert enough energy
for a kill box?
I'm not sure the robots
would fall for that again, but...
We have quite a bit of solar,
some wind, as you saw
from the turbines as you flew in,
but the bulk of our energy
is actually, uh, hydroelectric, the dam.
Can you, uh... pull that grid up for me?
Yeah.
- That's odd.
- What?
- Can I... can I borrow this?
- Uh...
The numbers, they're...
they're not adding up.
The settlement, it's making
way more power than it needs.
I'd imagine that's just
to accommodate for future growth.
I didn't see enough infrastructure
that would need that kind of power.
Unless...
Where do you keep your prisoners?
"As flies to wanton boys
are we to the gods."
"They kill us for their sport."
King Lear.
Never could get used
to reading off screens.
There's something about the feel
of turning a page, don't you think?
Depends if it's a good book.
Some are just better left closed.
And yet here you are,
locked up on that sunshine base.
You...
You ignored me for a year.
So why the sudden urge to chat?
The chancellor told us
there's no defense system
here on Alpha Centauri.
And you think she's lying?
No, we don't think she's lying.
We think she was kept in the dark.
Ah, well, one man's darkness
is another man's light.
They know where we are.
The robots, they know
the location of Alpha Centauri.
How do you mean?
Whatever secrets
you were hoping to take to your grave,
you're going to take them there today
unless you help us.
Okay.
Yes.
We prepared a system of EMFs,
hidden here, so we could
defend the colony against any, uh...
any unforeseen aggression.
- Unforeseen?
- Relax, John.
I think we can help each other.
I'll provide the keys
to turn the system on.
And in return,
you will explain to the chancellor
that the accusations against me
were a misunderstanding,
and I can be
of much greater service to the colony
if my authority is restored.
Men like you...
contingencies on contingencies.
You'd have someone else here with access
in case anything happened to you
in transit.
So how about we find out whoever that is,
and you sit in here and rot?
Normally, you'd be correct, John,
but it, uh...
Oh, it seems
I've removed all their permission keys.
Like you... like you say,
contingencies on contingencies.
Which means...
I'm the only one left alive on the planet
who can save everyone.
Jupiter 14 to command.
Surveillance cleared on resident 42.
Move and report. Transferring
prisoner 001, Alistair Hastings,
from holding to residence.
Danger.
Make yourselves at home.
Ah.
Just like I remembered it.
Phew!
It's a bit dusty, but, uh...
Can I get you anything to drink, John?
The only thing I want from you
is access to the defense system.
You know, I have to say
I have the utmost respect
for the sacrifices you military men make.
How you... how you're always
ready for a fight. No fear.
It's because of men like you that men
like me make a difference in the world.
I don't fight for men like you.
No, that's... that's right.
No, you fight for your family now.
Just give me the key.
From what I hear, your family
just got a little more interesting.
Grant Kelly, rising from the ashes.
Stay here.
Robot?
Mr. Robinson?
No. I'm sorry.
We'll divide and conquer.
I'll take a team of Chariots
and try and track and contain the robot.
I'll stay back,
try to get that defense system activated
some other way.
Here, I found that in Hastings' hand.
I think he pulled it out of his safe.
It might mean something.
I'll look into it.
You be careful.
Anything changes,
even the weather, you call me.
John.
Something feels wrong.
The fact that SAR isn't here yet.
What... what's he waiting for?
Maybe he's planning.
We know the robots can learn.
One thing's for sure.
They'll hit us differently this time.
We just have to be ready.
I got the alert.
- What's goin' on?
- Grant. I'm glad you're here.
- Where's Dad going?
- Did something happen with the robot?
Girls, I need you
to listen to me for a second.
All that time
that you spent with the robot,
did you notice anything...
different about him?
Wait, did he hurt someone?
I know. It doesn't seem like
something he would do, but...
Maybe it wasn't him.
No, based on the injuries,
- it was definitely...
- No, no, no.
It's like what you said
happened on the Jupiter.
Maybe it was him,
but he didn't know what he was doing.
- What are you talking about?
- Okay, before we found you guys,
for a few minutes, it's like
he was possessed by something.
Possessed?
Manipulated remotely, like a puppet.
Will thinks it was SAR.
And... and you didn't think to tell us?
In all fairness to the girls, Maureen,
there was a lot going on.
If anybody looks for the robot,
it should be someone he trusts. Will.
Right! Well, that isn't really an option
right now, is it?
Okay. Come on, Penny. Let's go.
Listen, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have...
Welcome to the wonderful world
of parenting.
I may be behind in that department,
but there are areas
I can help you with if you need it.
Mrs. Robinson. The procedure
was a success. Will's in recovery.
He'll need to be for some time,
but you can see him now.
Okay.
Grant, I could use
a new set of eyes on this.
Meet me at the Ops Center.
Yeah.
I have to admit, you surprised me, John.
You're always the one defending the robot.
You said he was developing human traits.
Being more human
isn't necessarily proof of humanity.
To be honest, when the robot
was more like a machine,
it was more dependable.
Do you want me to drive so you can rest?
I'm sure it's been a while.
I haven't had a rest in over a year.
What's one more day?
I'm fine. Really.
All right, spread into your search zones.
The target is extremely dangerous.
Approach with caution.
We need to find the robot.
I mean, if SAR comes back, we need
something big and metal on our side.
The point is
he might not be on our side anymore.
Don't you think
it's worth finding out for sure?
- If someone else gets there first...
- He'll defend himself.
Exactly. We need to consider the fact
that no one will buy my book
if it ends that way.
Penny.
I'm just saying, we only have one option.
We find the robot before Dad does.
Well...
...we're gonna need some help.
Where...
Where is everybody?
Are... are they okay?
Everyone's fine.
We're all here on Alpha Centauri.
Robot?
He's here too.
We made it.
SAR knows where to find us.
He does, but we're working on that.
Mom.
I thought I could change him.
I thought that...
I thought I could save everybody, but...
I failed.
Listen to me.
You didn't fail.
We are gonna figure it out.
- How?
- Alpha Centauri has a defense system.
We just need to find a way
how to turn it on.
No one knows how?
Well, Hastings, but he's...
he's not talking right now.
But I'm sure that there's
someone else here who will.
Look, the most important thing
you can do right now is to rest, okay?
Actually,
there is something else I have to do.
Welcome home, Dr. Smith.
You've arrived at your destination.
You caused quite a stir back in town.
Do you wanna talk about it?
You've helped me before.
Maybe I can help you.
'Cause I understand how it feels
to desperately want to be good,
but sometimes needing to be bad.
I know what it is
to be backed into a corner
and feel like the only way out
is to keep hurting everyone around you.
Just please, uh... let... let me help.
Passport. Grocery. Trash. Laundry.
It sounds like a list of chores.
I'm pretty sure
you wouldn't keep that in a safe.
For what it's worth,
I keep a lot of weird stuff in my safe.
I don't doubt that, Sebastian.
It must be some kind of access code.
Read it to me, and... and I'll enter it in.
Typing them isn't going to work.
It's a VBAS.
Voice Biometric Authentication System.
- How... how do you know that?
- Can I speak to you for a moment?
What if I told you my mission 20 years ago
wasn't an exploratory journey
to Alpha Centauri,
but to explore something else?
- It wasn't anything shady like that.
- Right.
Because secret government missions
are never shady.
It started with a small group
of scientists at NASA
who discovered a rift in space
opening and closing,
just like the one you've seen made by...
The alien engines.
But back then, we had no idea what it was.
And since the unknown
tends to scare the crap out of civilians,
we needed a cover story to hide the truth,
which was that the crew of the Fortuna
was being sent to find
what was on the other side of that rift.
Where it went to,
what was causing it, or who.
And that's why the flight data
was scrubbed from your hard drives.
No one could know what we were doing.
Not even mission control.
So our communication was always coded
and encrypted by a VBAS,
a series of words read aloud
that granted access to a private server.
So... what you're saying
is the only way to activate
Alpha Centauri's defense system
is... is with the voice of a man
who is no longer breathing,
let alone speaking?
Yeah.
No. Absolutely not.
I am an officer now, and I am not engaging
in this type of illicit behavior.
Well, if Robot's hiding out,
we figure who better to help us
than someone who's, you know, had to hide
- a couple of things of their own?
- Mmm.
Oh!
So now that you need a smuggler,
there's no judgment?
I say we begin
with a public apology to me.
Maybe a proclamation?
Read from one of those scrolls?
- From the Renaissance?
- Fine. Don't come.
I'm just saying, when everybody finds out
you knew what we were doing
and you let us go out alone...
Okay! Okay.
Here's the deal.
If you were looking to hide something
like, say, a case of booze,
or single-use plastics, or certain oils
that are not just for cooking...
...you know...
there's about a trillion places,
but there's only
a few places within 20 miles
where you can
successfully hide a seven-foot robot.
Okay...
Who's there?
Whatever you think you just heard,
we were just kidding.
We would never do something so... dangerous
and clearly against the rules.
Look, I'm not trying to eavesdrop
or anything. I was just...
Just what?
If it's true
about SAR knowing where we are,
then I thought that we should talk,
in case this is the last time.
Oh man, I know where this is going.
Look, Vijay,
we don't really have time to talk.
- We just need to find the robot.
- Yeah, I heard. It sounds dangerous.
It's fine. Danger's my middle name.
- That's not true. It's Cornelius.
- I just don't want anyone to get hurt.
Yeah.
Last time we did something dangerous,
weren't you the one who got hurt?
Okay, look, the point is, uh...
If you... if you're doing this,
I'm going with you.
All right, let's go.
Wait, what?
Hmm!
Oh man. If my dad finds out,
he's gonna kill me.
Yep. Welcome to the club.
What happens if the robot resists capture?
We both know, when we're protecting
our families, we can do things we regret.
Let's cross that bridge
when there's a bridge.
Do you remember right after we met,
I tried to take that Jupiter
from that dying planet
with my family alone?
Thought it was the right thing to do, but...
Your forgiveness
allowed me to make amends, John.
And I could come back
and stand by your side and fight,
as I've done ever since.
It's human to make mistakes.
It's human to lose control.
The most human thing
you can do... is forgive.
You think I should forgive the robot?
No. I think you should forgive yourself.
When your son walks into danger
under your nose,
because you took your eye off the ball...
They survived a year
on their own without you or me.
- They're not kids anymore.
- They should be!
We've taken their childhood
away from them.
That's him.
He's at the top of the dam.
What's he doing up there?
Look! It's Robot.
If we can see his light, so can Dad.
But those other Chariots
have a big head start.
We'll never make it in time.
What are you doing?
The road to drive up is long and windy.
If we go by foot, we can beat them there.
I'm sorry.
It sounded like you said on foot.
The dam is just beyond those trees.
The fastest way for us to get to the top
is to take the elevator inside
straight up.
How are we supposed
to get inside the dam?
You have something
that nobody else does.
- What's that?
- Don West.
Oh!
Hi.
I'm Amanda Adler. The...
These are my boys, Willem and Henry.
You asked to see us?
Yes. Yes.
Uh... Sorry. Hi.
Um...
You... don't know who I am,
but my name's...
Will Robinson. We've heard the stories
about you from some of the other kids.
Ah.
Well, there's...
there's one story you haven't heard yet.
One that...
I promised your dad I'd tell you one day.
You knew our dad?
Yeah. Yeah, I did.
And...
I'm guessing you guys have heard of me
because I'm friends with a robot, right?
Well, something that
not a lot of people know
is that your dad had a robot friend too.
His name was Scarecrow,
and it's because of what your dad did
that Scarecrow was able to help
all the kids of the 24th Colonist Group
get away safely.
Your dad's a hero.
To all of us.
Thank you.
Come on.
We should let Mr. Robinson recover.
Okay.
With everything that's happening
right now,
I wish he was still here.
Sounds like we could use
a few more heroes.
- Mom?
- Yes, Will?
Mom, I think there's someone
you need to talk to.
I... I don't understand.
Why do you think Ben would have access
to this defense system?
Alistair Hastings, uh, said
that he was the only person left alive
who could save us.
And I believe that the other person
he was talking about was your husband.
I never heard Ben
read the words on this list.
Maybe not all together,
or... or in that order,
but I'm sure he said each of them
at some point.
We just need to find them.
Old voice mails, uh, home videos, or...
I see. I'll go see what I can find.
Think it's weird for Mom,
having Grant back?
Um... Not any weirder than it is for me.
I'm just saying I know what it feels like
to be around someone you used to like
and then someone you currently like.
Oh, so this conversation's
actually about you?
What are you doing
walking back here with me?
What do you mean?
Well, let's face it, the robot isn't
the only thing you're looking for here.
If I had to choose
between a girl I was crazy about
- and a guy who hasn't showered in days...
- Maybe Penny and I are better as friends.
Listen,
if there's something I've learned,
it's that relationships
are a lot like smuggling.
First, find out what the person wants.
Then you have to decide
if you know how to get it for them.
Okay, we're here.
But how do we get inside?
Leave that to me.
- No peeking.
- How do you have the code to the dam?
I do not.
But I do have the code
to this really, really big wine cellar.
So you store booze in a dam?
That's right. And if we survive today
and I catch you or your underage friends
trying to break in and party,
I'll whoop your ass.
I am sorry to be leaving you
and the boys again, but, um...
try and save their school projects
so I can see them when I get home.
- There, "home." You got that?
- I love you.
Yeah, two more to go.
That's the last voice mail.
Let's see what they have on video.
Willem, come here.
Okay. Shh!
We're gonna scare Dad.
Oh, you two think you can sneak up on me?
Really? Right. Come here.
So...
how come you didn't tell me about Judy?
Uh...
I tried.
I tried, but NASA, uh...
They said it would be a cruel distraction
to tell somebody who couldn't return
for what might be, you know, decades.
The Maureen I remember would have found
a way around the rules if she wanted to.
Come on. You were... barely interested
in a committed relationship,
much less a family.
What would it have changed?
All that, for you, was 20 years ago.
For me, it was yesterday.
Go to sleep a boy.
Wake up... a man.
Only took a year for me to feel like
Will did the same thing.
You've done an incredible job, Maureen,
with all your kids.
I didn't do it on my own.
Your mom was always there for Judy.
- And, of course...
- John.
Seems like a good man.
He is.
Oh, we've had our ups and downs, but...
I think it takes getting lost...
to find out what you have.
Are we lost?
Nope, here it is.
It should take us to the top.
Whoa.
Is this safe?
Well, if it's not,
I'm gonna take care of you.
Okay, plan is, when we see the robot,
we approach him together.
- But Penny should talk to him.
- What? Why me?
After Will,
you've spent the most time together.
I've spent my whole life with you.
You don't listen to me.
- Oh!
- Why is it stopping?
We're not at the top yet.
I don't know.
The gears are still grinding.
It's gotta be stuck on something.
Come on!
No. Mm-mm.
Wait, Will's robot
doesn't make these kind of marks.
Oh! Shh, shh!
You hear that?
That sounds like
more than one robot.
Yeah.
They haven't been waiting to attack.
They're already here.
Mom, Dad.
- No, it's not gonna work.
- Mom? Mom...
The walls are too thick.
It's blocking the signal.
So what do we do?
Look, we're the only ones who know
what's really going on here.
Penny.
What's really going on here?
Well, clearly, these robots are saboteurs.
Whatever defense system
your mom's trying to get up and running,
it needs all the power
from this dam to do it.
We don't have time to warn them.
We need to stop the robots now.
What are you talking...
Wait, Judy! Stop!
Sebastian. We need your workplace.
What?
Why? What?
Whoa! You gotta scan that for malware
before you plug it in...
She just plugged it in.
Okay.
Here we go.
Passport.
Groceries.
Trash.
Laundry.
Letter.
Present.
Home.
Defense system online.
- We did it.
- Administrator mode activated.
We're good!
- They're taking out the turbines.
- Oh crap.
Hey. What are you looking for?
A fair fight. Right now we don't have one.
I'm also okay with not fighting.
It's another way we could go.
Okay. Okay. Here's the plan.
Those turbines
have something called a governor.
It controls the speed of the blades
as the water runs through them,
generating power for the settlement.
When the governor fails,
the blades spin too fast,
causing the turbines to explode,
which should be bad for any robots that
happen to be standing on it at the time.
Let me get this straight.
You wanna stop the robots from destroying
the turbine by... destroying the turbine?
There's three turbines out there.
I'm pretty sure whatever defense system
your parents are working on
- can be powered by two.
- "Pretty sure"?
Mostly sure.
Look, if we do nothing,
then just roll out the red carpet,
because it's the premiere of
SAR Kills Everybody
- starring our corpses.
- Uh... Excuse me.
The governor thing you're talking about,
it's underneath the turbines.
- Yeah.
- Underwater.
Yeah.
It's way down there.
We'd have to swim pretty deep.
Not we.
Me.
Let this be a lesson to you kids.
Always wear underwear.
- No, Don, I'm doing it.
- No, stop. Judy.
- I can handle this.
- Are you sure?
Have you checked the test results lately?
'Cause I have.
Breath control, lung capacity.
I'm the only one here qualified to do it,
and you know that.
Besides, I've... done
something like this before.
No. You almost died
doing something like this before.
And you did it to protect Will.
You're allowed to risk death for family.
- Don?
- What?
What do you think you are?
Judy.
I'll be right back.
Judy!
Judy!
John.
No.
Judy.
Call Maureen.
Tell her what we're up against.
- What are you gonna do?
- Help my daughter!
Come on, Judy. You gotta move.
Vic... Victor?
Slow down. I can't hear you.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Mrs. Robinson!
- Turbine one operation ratio at 50%.
- You should take a look at this!
Don, look! We have to do something.
It's you!
Help family.
We got a problem. Two turbines redlining.
Third, working overtime to carry the load.
- How long will it hold?
- Powering the entire defense system?
Hard to tell.
John, come in. Can you hear me? John?
- Penny!
- Dad!
- Stay here!
- Dad!
Hey! Jude! Come on! Come!
No, no. Get back! Back inside!
Hey, let's be careful.
It's okay, John. It was one of
the other robots who got to Hastings.
It's like they were trying to frame him
and keep us apart.
And it almost worked,
but he saved everyone, Dad.
He stopped the robots.
Was that all of them that were here?
Yes, John Robinson.
- So, are you glad you came?
- Honestly, not really.
Oh. Because we almost died?
No, um... because...
I'm not a smuggler, Penny.
Okay.
I don't think I can give you what you want
or be what you want.
Look, I'm not someone who does everything
right and says everything right, and...
who has an awesome story
for every occasion
and can somehow wear a man-bun
and not look like an idiot.
Look,
I know that this is stupid, okay,
because we're just friends.
And I... tried for a year
to be okay with that,
but it's... it's really hard...
because I think that...
you are amazing and strange and...
rude and smart and unique.
And honestly frustrating
because you're so much more special
than you give yourself credit for.
Okay.
Look, my point is
you don't have to want to be with me.
And that makes sense
now that I listen to myself,
but it's crazy
that you wanna be with Liam.
You don't need someone
who always has to be the hero.
You're the hero, Penny.
And I think it's a shame
you haven't figured that out yet.
Uh...
Wow.
Um...
Thank you, but I am not the person
that you think I am.
You know, I wish I was, but I'm not.
Um... you know, I just...
I just don't want you to be disappointed
when you realize it too.
Hey, promise me something.
What?
When you realize that I was right,
then I get to say, "I told you so."
Never in a million years.
ID chip scanned.
Hello, Dr. Zoe Smith.
Where would you like to navigate?
Work or home?
Work.
Okay, John, just be careful
and get back here as soon as you can.
We'll keep our eyes on the sky
just in case.
Okay, Sebastian, talk to me.
How are we holding up?
Touch and go. It's tickling the red line.
I'm trying to pull from solar and wind,
but we need that third turbine to hold on.
Shut down everything else
in the settlement if you have to.
We have to keep
the defense shield operational.
Sebastian,
please tell me that was you.
It wasn't me.
Third turbine is down.
Backup generator online.
Oh no.
Defense system is offline.
We're detecting an energy spike
a few thousand miles
outside the atmosphere.
Energy spike?
What does that mean?
Tracking unidentified object.
They're coming.
It looks fine.
Scan complete.
There's no sign of alien ships.
Jude, how's Will?
He's holding stable.
What do you think?
I think we should take a closer look.
Girls, it's...
it's beautiful.
Would it have killed your mother
to put a window in here?
Jupiter 2,
this is operations.
You're all clear for landing.
Welcome home, Robinsons.
On approach.
Before I go out there,
I need to know, are we good?
We're bracing for an alien attack.
Will's in critical condition, and...
and you're worried about being arrested?
Hope for the best,
prepare for the worst, right?
Well, we talked,
and we all agreed to let karma handle it.
You know, in the end,
everyone gets what they deserve.
Come on, everyone. Let's go.
This is Judy Robinson of the Jupiter 2
requesting escort to medical.
Hey, no!
You stay here.
Most of the colonists here
have never seen an alien robot.
We don't wanna scare 'em.
This way. Follow me.
The doctors are waiting.
Waiting to get
the nano-sequencing back.
Family members only beyond this point.
Family only.
We're ready for him.
Wait.
Are you family?
Um...
No.
No, I guess I'm not.
- We've got it.
- I need to give you the report...
You haven't been through decontamination.
We received your transmission
and his charts.
Thanks to what you did up there
and the resources we have here,
I promise you,
your brother's going to make it.
He's gonna make it.
Okay.
Okay.
- We need to warn the others.
- Yeah.
Judy, stay and see if you can get
something for your shoulder.
Okay.
ID chip scanned.
Hello, Dr. Zoe Smith.
Where would you like to navigate?
Work or home?
Home.
- There's still no sign of them.
- Maureen. John!
- Hey.
- Where've you been?
You didn't follow us.
We were worried something happened.
- Oh!
- Something did.
We have bad news.
Can't remember a time
you arrived with good news.
That's fair, but this could be the worst.
Hey.
Oh my God!
- Hi!
- Oh!
Listen, I'm so sorry.
I should have stayed on your Jupiter.
It's okay. I had my family.
It's just, what kind of guy
leaves a girl alone in a time of crisis?
Here, um... I got these for you.
Flowers!
Not just any flowers.
Alpha Centauri humming flowers.
When the wind blows through them,
it sounds like music.
I wouldn't get too close.
They sound better than they smell.
Really?
Oh wow.
Should call them farting flowers.
Um...
Thank you.
They're beautiful.
Any... anyways, um...
it's really great that you made it,
and I hope that your brother's okay.
Thank you.
Really.
Oh, actually, um...
there's something you both should know.
Thank you for the warning.
If what you're saying is true,
shouldn't these robots be here?
We've been asking ourselves
the same thing,
but I'd rather be wrong and ready
than right and dead.
Unfortunately, Madam Chancellor,
I've found the Robinsons to be almost
always accurate in their conclusions.
So, everything we believed
about how we got here was a lie.
Does the colony have
any kind of defense system?
Until now, I wasn't aware we needed one.
Look, our priority has been
getting basic services running.
Water supply, power, et cetera.
I'm afraid
if we're going to defend ourselves,
we'll have to find another way.
How's he doing?
Oh, his vitals are strong.
They're giving him an artificial heart.
- What?
- He'll be okay.
With the bad air quality back on Earth,
I knew kids on the track team
that got artificial lungs
and never missed a beat.
Yeah, but Will's heart
is like his superpower.
A heart isn't determined
by what it's made of.
It's... it's what you believe in.
It's what you fight for.
Will isn't gonna let that change.
Judy, he knew these robots
better than anyone.
If Will couldn't beat SAR, what makes us
think we can do it without him?
Can we divert enough energy
for a kill box?
I'm not sure the robots
would fall for that again, but...
We have quite a bit of solar,
some wind, as you saw
from the turbines as you flew in,
but the bulk of our energy
is actually, uh, hydroelectric, the dam.
Can you, uh... pull that grid up for me?
Yeah.
- That's odd.
- What?
- Can I... can I borrow this?
- Uh...
The numbers, they're...
they're not adding up.
The settlement, it's making
way more power than it needs.
I'd imagine that's just
to accommodate for future growth.
I didn't see enough infrastructure
that would need that kind of power.
Unless...
Where do you keep your prisoners?
"As flies to wanton boys
are we to the gods."
"They kill us for their sport."
King Lear.
Never could get used
to reading off screens.
There's something about the feel
of turning a page, don't you think?
Depends if it's a good book.
Some are just better left closed.
And yet here you are,
locked up on that sunshine base.
You...
You ignored me for a year.
So why the sudden urge to chat?
The chancellor told us
there's no defense system
here on Alpha Centauri.
And you think she's lying?
No, we don't think she's lying.
We think she was kept in the dark.
Ah, well, one man's darkness
is another man's light.
They know where we are.
The robots, they know
the location of Alpha Centauri.
How do you mean?
Whatever secrets
you were hoping to take to your grave,
you're going to take them there today
unless you help us.
Okay.
Yes.
We prepared a system of EMFs,
hidden here, so we could
defend the colony against any, uh...
any unforeseen aggression.
- Unforeseen?
- Relax, John.
I think we can help each other.
I'll provide the keys
to turn the system on.
And in return,
you will explain to the chancellor
that the accusations against me
were a misunderstanding,
and I can be
of much greater service to the colony
if my authority is restored.
Men like you...
contingencies on contingencies.
You'd have someone else here with access
in case anything happened to you
in transit.
So how about we find out whoever that is,
and you sit in here and rot?
Normally, you'd be correct, John,
but it, uh...
Oh, it seems
I've removed all their permission keys.
Like you... like you say,
contingencies on contingencies.
Which means...
I'm the only one left alive on the planet
who can save everyone.
Jupiter 14 to command.
Surveillance cleared on resident 42.
Move and report. Transferring
prisoner 001, Alistair Hastings,
from holding to residence.
Danger.
Make yourselves at home.
Ah.
Just like I remembered it.
Phew!
It's a bit dusty, but, uh...
Can I get you anything to drink, John?
The only thing I want from you
is access to the defense system.
You know, I have to say
I have the utmost respect
for the sacrifices you military men make.
How you... how you're always
ready for a fight. No fear.
It's because of men like you that men
like me make a difference in the world.
I don't fight for men like you.
No, that's... that's right.
No, you fight for your family now.
Just give me the key.
From what I hear, your family
just got a little more interesting.
Grant Kelly, rising from the ashes.
Stay here.
Robot?
Mr. Robinson?
No. I'm sorry.
We'll divide and conquer.
I'll take a team of Chariots
and try and track and contain the robot.
I'll stay back,
try to get that defense system activated
some other way.
Here, I found that in Hastings' hand.
I think he pulled it out of his safe.
It might mean something.
I'll look into it.
You be careful.
Anything changes,
even the weather, you call me.
John.
Something feels wrong.
The fact that SAR isn't here yet.
What... what's he waiting for?
Maybe he's planning.
We know the robots can learn.
One thing's for sure.
They'll hit us differently this time.
We just have to be ready.
I got the alert.
- What's goin' on?
- Grant. I'm glad you're here.
- Where's Dad going?
- Did something happen with the robot?
Girls, I need you
to listen to me for a second.
All that time
that you spent with the robot,
did you notice anything...
different about him?
Wait, did he hurt someone?
I know. It doesn't seem like
something he would do, but...
Maybe it wasn't him.
No, based on the injuries,
- it was definitely...
- No, no, no.
It's like what you said
happened on the Jupiter.
Maybe it was him,
but he didn't know what he was doing.
- What are you talking about?
- Okay, before we found you guys,
for a few minutes, it's like
he was possessed by something.
Possessed?
Manipulated remotely, like a puppet.
Will thinks it was SAR.
And... and you didn't think to tell us?
In all fairness to the girls, Maureen,
there was a lot going on.
If anybody looks for the robot,
it should be someone he trusts. Will.
Right! Well, that isn't really an option
right now, is it?
Okay. Come on, Penny. Let's go.
Listen, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have...
Welcome to the wonderful world
of parenting.
I may be behind in that department,
but there are areas
I can help you with if you need it.
Mrs. Robinson. The procedure
was a success. Will's in recovery.
He'll need to be for some time,
but you can see him now.
Okay.
Grant, I could use
a new set of eyes on this.
Meet me at the Ops Center.
Yeah.
I have to admit, you surprised me, John.
You're always the one defending the robot.
You said he was developing human traits.
Being more human
isn't necessarily proof of humanity.
To be honest, when the robot
was more like a machine,
it was more dependable.
Do you want me to drive so you can rest?
I'm sure it's been a while.
I haven't had a rest in over a year.
What's one more day?
I'm fine. Really.
All right, spread into your search zones.
The target is extremely dangerous.
Approach with caution.
We need to find the robot.
I mean, if SAR comes back, we need
something big and metal on our side.
The point is
he might not be on our side anymore.
Don't you think
it's worth finding out for sure?
- If someone else gets there first...
- He'll defend himself.
Exactly. We need to consider the fact
that no one will buy my book
if it ends that way.
Penny.
I'm just saying, we only have one option.
We find the robot before Dad does.
Well...
...we're gonna need some help.
Where...
Where is everybody?
Are... are they okay?
Everyone's fine.
We're all here on Alpha Centauri.
Robot?
He's here too.
We made it.
SAR knows where to find us.
He does, but we're working on that.
Mom.
I thought I could change him.
I thought that...
I thought I could save everybody, but...
I failed.
Listen to me.
You didn't fail.
We are gonna figure it out.
- How?
- Alpha Centauri has a defense system.
We just need to find a way
how to turn it on.
No one knows how?
Well, Hastings, but he's...
he's not talking right now.
But I'm sure that there's
someone else here who will.
Look, the most important thing
you can do right now is to rest, okay?
Actually,
there is something else I have to do.
Welcome home, Dr. Smith.
You've arrived at your destination.
You caused quite a stir back in town.
Do you wanna talk about it?
You've helped me before.
Maybe I can help you.
'Cause I understand how it feels
to desperately want to be good,
but sometimes needing to be bad.
I know what it is
to be backed into a corner
and feel like the only way out
is to keep hurting everyone around you.
Just please, uh... let... let me help.
Passport. Grocery. Trash. Laundry.
It sounds like a list of chores.
I'm pretty sure
you wouldn't keep that in a safe.
For what it's worth,
I keep a lot of weird stuff in my safe.
I don't doubt that, Sebastian.
It must be some kind of access code.
Read it to me, and... and I'll enter it in.
Typing them isn't going to work.
It's a VBAS.
Voice Biometric Authentication System.
- How... how do you know that?
- Can I speak to you for a moment?
What if I told you my mission 20 years ago
wasn't an exploratory journey
to Alpha Centauri,
but to explore something else?
- It wasn't anything shady like that.
- Right.
Because secret government missions
are never shady.
It started with a small group
of scientists at NASA
who discovered a rift in space
opening and closing,
just like the one you've seen made by...
The alien engines.
But back then, we had no idea what it was.
And since the unknown
tends to scare the crap out of civilians,
we needed a cover story to hide the truth,
which was that the crew of the Fortuna
was being sent to find
what was on the other side of that rift.
Where it went to,
what was causing it, or who.
And that's why the flight data
was scrubbed from your hard drives.
No one could know what we were doing.
Not even mission control.
So our communication was always coded
and encrypted by a VBAS,
a series of words read aloud
that granted access to a private server.
So... what you're saying
is the only way to activate
Alpha Centauri's defense system
is... is with the voice of a man
who is no longer breathing,
let alone speaking?
Yeah.
No. Absolutely not.
I am an officer now, and I am not engaging
in this type of illicit behavior.
Well, if Robot's hiding out,
we figure who better to help us
than someone who's, you know, had to hide
- a couple of things of their own?
- Mmm.
Oh!
So now that you need a smuggler,
there's no judgment?
I say we begin
with a public apology to me.
Maybe a proclamation?
Read from one of those scrolls?
- From the Renaissance?
- Fine. Don't come.
I'm just saying, when everybody finds out
you knew what we were doing
and you let us go out alone...
Okay! Okay.
Here's the deal.
If you were looking to hide something
like, say, a case of booze,
or single-use plastics, or certain oils
that are not just for cooking...
...you know...
there's about a trillion places,
but there's only
a few places within 20 miles
where you can
successfully hide a seven-foot robot.
Okay...
Who's there?
Whatever you think you just heard,
we were just kidding.
We would never do something so... dangerous
and clearly against the rules.
Look, I'm not trying to eavesdrop
or anything. I was just...
Just what?
If it's true
about SAR knowing where we are,
then I thought that we should talk,
in case this is the last time.
Oh man, I know where this is going.
Look, Vijay,
we don't really have time to talk.
- We just need to find the robot.
- Yeah, I heard. It sounds dangerous.
It's fine. Danger's my middle name.
- That's not true. It's Cornelius.
- I just don't want anyone to get hurt.
Yeah.
Last time we did something dangerous,
weren't you the one who got hurt?
Okay, look, the point is, uh...
If you... if you're doing this,
I'm going with you.
All right, let's go.
Wait, what?
Hmm!
Oh man. If my dad finds out,
he's gonna kill me.
Yep. Welcome to the club.
What happens if the robot resists capture?
We both know, when we're protecting
our families, we can do things we regret.
Let's cross that bridge
when there's a bridge.
Do you remember right after we met,
I tried to take that Jupiter
from that dying planet
with my family alone?
Thought it was the right thing to do, but...
Your forgiveness
allowed me to make amends, John.
And I could come back
and stand by your side and fight,
as I've done ever since.
It's human to make mistakes.
It's human to lose control.
The most human thing
you can do... is forgive.
You think I should forgive the robot?
No. I think you should forgive yourself.
When your son walks into danger
under your nose,
because you took your eye off the ball...
They survived a year
on their own without you or me.
- They're not kids anymore.
- They should be!
We've taken their childhood
away from them.
That's him.
He's at the top of the dam.
What's he doing up there?
Look! It's Robot.
If we can see his light, so can Dad.
But those other Chariots
have a big head start.
We'll never make it in time.
What are you doing?
The road to drive up is long and windy.
If we go by foot, we can beat them there.
I'm sorry.
It sounded like you said on foot.
The dam is just beyond those trees.
The fastest way for us to get to the top
is to take the elevator inside
straight up.
How are we supposed
to get inside the dam?
You have something
that nobody else does.
- What's that?
- Don West.
Oh!
Hi.
I'm Amanda Adler. The...
These are my boys, Willem and Henry.
You asked to see us?
Yes. Yes.
Uh... Sorry. Hi.
Um...
You... don't know who I am,
but my name's...
Will Robinson. We've heard the stories
about you from some of the other kids.
Ah.
Well, there's...
there's one story you haven't heard yet.
One that...
I promised your dad I'd tell you one day.
You knew our dad?
Yeah. Yeah, I did.
And...
I'm guessing you guys have heard of me
because I'm friends with a robot, right?
Well, something that
not a lot of people know
is that your dad had a robot friend too.
His name was Scarecrow,
and it's because of what your dad did
that Scarecrow was able to help
all the kids of the 24th Colonist Group
get away safely.
Your dad's a hero.
To all of us.
Thank you.
Come on.
We should let Mr. Robinson recover.
Okay.
With everything that's happening
right now,
I wish he was still here.
Sounds like we could use
a few more heroes.
- Mom?
- Yes, Will?
Mom, I think there's someone
you need to talk to.
I... I don't understand.
Why do you think Ben would have access
to this defense system?
Alistair Hastings, uh, said
that he was the only person left alive
who could save us.
And I believe that the other person
he was talking about was your husband.
I never heard Ben
read the words on this list.
Maybe not all together,
or... or in that order,
but I'm sure he said each of them
at some point.
We just need to find them.
Old voice mails, uh, home videos, or...
I see. I'll go see what I can find.
Think it's weird for Mom,
having Grant back?
Um... Not any weirder than it is for me.
I'm just saying I know what it feels like
to be around someone you used to like
and then someone you currently like.
Oh, so this conversation's
actually about you?
What are you doing
walking back here with me?
What do you mean?
Well, let's face it, the robot isn't
the only thing you're looking for here.
If I had to choose
between a girl I was crazy about
- and a guy who hasn't showered in days...
- Maybe Penny and I are better as friends.
Listen,
if there's something I've learned,
it's that relationships
are a lot like smuggling.
First, find out what the person wants.
Then you have to decide
if you know how to get it for them.
Okay, we're here.
But how do we get inside?
Leave that to me.
- No peeking.
- How do you have the code to the dam?
I do not.
But I do have the code
to this really, really big wine cellar.
So you store booze in a dam?
That's right. And if we survive today
and I catch you or your underage friends
trying to break in and party,
I'll whoop your ass.
I am sorry to be leaving you
and the boys again, but, um...
try and save their school projects
so I can see them when I get home.
- There, "home." You got that?
- I love you.
Yeah, two more to go.
That's the last voice mail.
Let's see what they have on video.
Willem, come here.
Okay. Shh!
We're gonna scare Dad.
Oh, you two think you can sneak up on me?
Really? Right. Come here.
So...
how come you didn't tell me about Judy?
Uh...
I tried.
I tried, but NASA, uh...
They said it would be a cruel distraction
to tell somebody who couldn't return
for what might be, you know, decades.
The Maureen I remember would have found
a way around the rules if she wanted to.
Come on. You were... barely interested
in a committed relationship,
much less a family.
What would it have changed?
All that, for you, was 20 years ago.
For me, it was yesterday.
Go to sleep a boy.
Wake up... a man.
Only took a year for me to feel like
Will did the same thing.
You've done an incredible job, Maureen,
with all your kids.
I didn't do it on my own.
Your mom was always there for Judy.
- And, of course...
- John.
Seems like a good man.
He is.
Oh, we've had our ups and downs, but...
I think it takes getting lost...
to find out what you have.
Are we lost?
Nope, here it is.
It should take us to the top.
Whoa.
Is this safe?
Well, if it's not,
I'm gonna take care of you.
Okay, plan is, when we see the robot,
we approach him together.
- But Penny should talk to him.
- What? Why me?
After Will,
you've spent the most time together.
I've spent my whole life with you.
You don't listen to me.
- Oh!
- Why is it stopping?
We're not at the top yet.
I don't know.
The gears are still grinding.
It's gotta be stuck on something.
Come on!
No. Mm-mm.
Wait, Will's robot
doesn't make these kind of marks.
Oh! Shh, shh!
You hear that?
That sounds like
more than one robot.
Yeah.
They haven't been waiting to attack.
They're already here.
Mom, Dad.
- No, it's not gonna work.
- Mom? Mom...
The walls are too thick.
It's blocking the signal.
So what do we do?
Look, we're the only ones who know
what's really going on here.
Penny.
What's really going on here?
Well, clearly, these robots are saboteurs.
Whatever defense system
your mom's trying to get up and running,
it needs all the power
from this dam to do it.
We don't have time to warn them.
We need to stop the robots now.
What are you talking...
Wait, Judy! Stop!
Sebastian. We need your workplace.
What?
Why? What?
Whoa! You gotta scan that for malware
before you plug it in...
She just plugged it in.
Okay.
Here we go.
Passport.
Groceries.
Trash.
Laundry.
Letter.
Present.
Home.
Defense system online.
- We did it.
- Administrator mode activated.
We're good!
- They're taking out the turbines.
- Oh crap.
Hey. What are you looking for?
A fair fight. Right now we don't have one.
I'm also okay with not fighting.
It's another way we could go.
Okay. Okay. Here's the plan.
Those turbines
have something called a governor.
It controls the speed of the blades
as the water runs through them,
generating power for the settlement.
When the governor fails,
the blades spin too fast,
causing the turbines to explode,
which should be bad for any robots that
happen to be standing on it at the time.
Let me get this straight.
You wanna stop the robots from destroying
the turbine by... destroying the turbine?
There's three turbines out there.
I'm pretty sure whatever defense system
your parents are working on
- can be powered by two.
- "Pretty sure"?
Mostly sure.
Look, if we do nothing,
then just roll out the red carpet,
because it's the premiere of
SAR Kills Everybody
- starring our corpses.
- Uh... Excuse me.
The governor thing you're talking about,
it's underneath the turbines.
- Yeah.
- Underwater.
Yeah.
It's way down there.
We'd have to swim pretty deep.
Not we.
Me.
Let this be a lesson to you kids.
Always wear underwear.
- No, Don, I'm doing it.
- No, stop. Judy.
- I can handle this.
- Are you sure?
Have you checked the test results lately?
'Cause I have.
Breath control, lung capacity.
I'm the only one here qualified to do it,
and you know that.
Besides, I've... done
something like this before.
No. You almost died
doing something like this before.
And you did it to protect Will.
You're allowed to risk death for family.
- Don?
- What?
What do you think you are?
Judy.
I'll be right back.
Judy!
Judy!
John.
No.
Judy.
Call Maureen.
Tell her what we're up against.
- What are you gonna do?
- Help my daughter!
Come on, Judy. You gotta move.
Vic... Victor?
Slow down. I can't hear you.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Mrs. Robinson!
- Turbine one operation ratio at 50%.
- You should take a look at this!
Don, look! We have to do something.
It's you!
Help family.
We got a problem. Two turbines redlining.
Third, working overtime to carry the load.
- How long will it hold?
- Powering the entire defense system?
Hard to tell.
John, come in. Can you hear me? John?
- Penny!
- Dad!
- Stay here!
- Dad!
Hey! Jude! Come on! Come!
No, no. Get back! Back inside!
Hey, let's be careful.
It's okay, John. It was one of
the other robots who got to Hastings.
It's like they were trying to frame him
and keep us apart.
And it almost worked,
but he saved everyone, Dad.
He stopped the robots.
Was that all of them that were here?
Yes, John Robinson.
- So, are you glad you came?
- Honestly, not really.
Oh. Because we almost died?
No, um... because...
I'm not a smuggler, Penny.
Okay.
I don't think I can give you what you want
or be what you want.
Look, I'm not someone who does everything
right and says everything right, and...
who has an awesome story
for every occasion
and can somehow wear a man-bun
and not look like an idiot.
Look,
I know that this is stupid, okay,
because we're just friends.
And I... tried for a year
to be okay with that,
but it's... it's really hard...
because I think that...
you are amazing and strange and...
rude and smart and unique.
And honestly frustrating
because you're so much more special
than you give yourself credit for.
Okay.
Look, my point is
you don't have to want to be with me.
And that makes sense
now that I listen to myself,
but it's crazy
that you wanna be with Liam.
You don't need someone
who always has to be the hero.
You're the hero, Penny.
And I think it's a shame
you haven't figured that out yet.
Uh...
Wow.
Um...
Thank you, but I am not the person
that you think I am.
You know, I wish I was, but I'm not.
Um... you know, I just...
I just don't want you to be disappointed
when you realize it too.
Hey, promise me something.
What?
When you realize that I was right,
then I get to say, "I told you so."
Never in a million years.
ID chip scanned.
Hello, Dr. Zoe Smith.
Where would you like to navigate?
Work or home?
Work.
Okay, John, just be careful
and get back here as soon as you can.
We'll keep our eyes on the sky
just in case.
Okay, Sebastian, talk to me.
How are we holding up?
Touch and go. It's tickling the red line.
I'm trying to pull from solar and wind,
but we need that third turbine to hold on.
Shut down everything else
in the settlement if you have to.
We have to keep
the defense shield operational.
Sebastian,
please tell me that was you.
It wasn't me.
Third turbine is down.
Backup generator online.
Oh no.
Defense system is offline.
We're detecting an energy spike
a few thousand miles
outside the atmosphere.
Energy spike?
What does that mean?
Tracking unidentified object.
They're coming.
