She moved the children again...
Another 60 miles out.

It's probably gonna take us at
least two days to get there...

Probably more with
the church choir dragging ass.

You ready to tell me about
the voices you heard last night?

I don't know what
I was talking about.

My head was probably
still ringing

from the ear wig.
That's all.

Mm.

Okay, well, psychosis caused
by extended hibernation

isn't uncommon,
even hallucinations...

Stop doctoring me.
Alright.

Fine. Okay. Fine.



It was the ear wig.
Okay.

Well, whatever it is, it
certainly worked in our favor,

Your Eminence.

Alright, well, you better
get to preaching

before they change their minds.

We will succeed in our mission.

Sol guide us.

We must be patient.

- Praise be to Sol.
- Praise be to Sol.

Gather around.

Now that Ambrose has been
consigned to the heavens,

we must press on.

Our stolen children wait
for us to save them,

and save them we will.

Praise to Sol.

- Praise to Sol.
- Praise to Sol.

And as the highest ranked
cleric after Ambrose,

I intend to hear your advice
on how to do that.

Who put you in charge?

This man heard the voice
of Sol last night.

He saved us from the thrall
of a faithless commander.

I say he's a prophet.

Do I speak for all of us
when I say

this man's advice
is our command?

That is not how the line
of succession works.

Your Eminence.

Well...

Let's prepare for departure,
shall we?

The meat's been tested.
It's safe.

Come on.

Let's give thanks
before they come back.

Sol, thank you for
this bounty you have given us...

And thank Tempest
for killing it for us.

Amen. Dig in.

Hmm.

Pork.

Tastes like pork.

Which part is the baby?

I don't think they cooked
the fetus, Vita.

I highly doubt they wasted it.

Mother said she buried it.

Sure she did.

She's gonna let valuable
proteins go to waste.

'Cause of your feelings.

Right.

Chance... It's the only reason

why she wasn't killed
last night...

And her fetus with her.

Pregnant females are capable
of great athleticism

in their
first trimester, Mother.

The creature was also pregnancy,
so what exactly is your point?

Why weren't you watching her?

I saw something.
What?

I don't know.

I could never seem to catch it.

One of the creatures?

No.

I don't think so.

Are you experiencing some kind
of sensory malfunction?

My senses are
functioning normally,

but I cannot be everywhere
at once.

I accept your limitations,
Father.

My limitations?

The limitations of
your processing power.

Limited as it may be,
you know full well

that I devote every ounce
of my processing power

to the well being
of this family,

and to trying to
make you happy, Mother.

We're not human.

True happiness is not
an achievable goal.

Well, perhaps it's a symptom
of my inadequacy,

but I believe it is.

Looks like part
of the lower deck.

It's the master cell
for the propulsion system.

Collects diffuse light,

concentrates it into a single,
highly-charged ray.

This could come in handy

when we catch up
to the Necromancer.

Take it.

Cassia, Your Eminence.

Now, when you
go into the forest,

it's important to have
your sling ready.

You don't want to waste time
loading it

before you start your shot.

Hey, we need guns, not rocks.

Even if you had guns, eventually
you'd run out of bullets,

but you'll never
run out of rocks.

Which brings us
to our first lesson.

Before we can hunt
the creatures,

we must learn
how to hunt for rocks.

Shall we?

Aah!

Enough.

Enough!

That man raped several women

while their bodies
were in hibernation.

He was sentenced to die.

So, you were just gonna
kill him now?

The Tribunal decided
his fate weeks ago.

Well, that was before the rest
of humanity died on the ark,

was it not?

Maybe he can be useful.

How ironic you survived.

Maybe we take this helmet off

so we can talk
like civilized people.

That is ill advised, sir.

Who are you?

Limiting Emergency-Automated
Servo-Habit.

I'm a mobile prison system.

Do not worry, sir. He can do no
harm as long as I'm installed.

The android
is inextricably bound

to the helmet
the prisoner wears.

Tamper with the helmet,
it crushes the man's head.

Mess with the android's
programming,

it crushes the ma's head.

Drag the prisoner out of range
of the android...

Could it be,
crushes the man's head?

Yes.

Sir, if I may?

We have limited food and water.

This man is a liability
to us all.

Why should we shelter him?

Especially after what he did
to our women in their sleep.

Sol commanded me to be fruitful.

Can you see me?

Only the shadow you cast,
soldier.

Today, I'm not a soldier.

I'm your savior.

Remember that.

Because who among you would be
first to fight a necromancer?

Then with so few of us,

why would we waste
this cannon fodder?

He stays alive.

He's been surviving the nights
in this ark.

I suggest we do the same.

Secure the prisoner. Move on.

Did you hear that?

Yeah.

Give it here.

I would have hit it
on the second try

if you'd let me, Campion.

Did you see what it was eating?

If they can eat it,
maybe we can, too.

We need to get
some of that fungus.

You're upset.

Because you didn't go
with the others?

I didn't want to go with them.

Last thing I want to do
is kill more of those things.

Death is a part of life,
Tempest.

You're a necromancer.

Of course you're cool
with death.

Please don't use that word
when referring to me.

I prefer the name given to me
by my creator.

No offense, but reprogramming
something like you

to raise kids...

think your creator
was kind of insane.

He was able to see beyond
the limits of his own existence,

and so will you
when you have your child.

There was an aquatic
Earth creature called salmon.

You know it?
Yeah.

They went extinct
before I was born.

Yes.

Sadly.

They would live out their lives
in the Earth's oceans,

and then swim up the same
rivers they were born in,

beating their bodies
against the rocks,

spawning all the way,
until they died.

That's awful.

But beautiful in its efficiency.

When their corpses
washed downstream,

they'd provide
essential nutrients

for their newly hatched young.

So, you're saying that I should
beat myself to death

to feed this baby.

No.

I'm saying you're a part
of the cycle of life.

And...

I don't want to be.

A little more.

Campion?

Sorry.
Hold on.

Quick. He's coming.

Hold on.

Come on.
We have enough.

I got it.

I almost dropped you.

I knew you'd keep hold of me.

We can't tell anyone
where we got this.

Mother and Father don't like it
when I take risks.

I won't tell.

I know.

I trust you.

You do?

Of course I do.

Now, come on.

You should have let them
kill him.

How am I supposed to sleep
with a rapist watching me?

Excuse me, Your Eminence.

Come in, Cassia.

You remembered my name.

I have dinner.

Ah. Thank you.

We all pooled together
our rations

to ensure that you had
a worthy meal.

We need you in good health.

Thank you.

What?

Yeah, you are settling into
your new role pretty fast,

aren't you?

Ah, it has its perks.

Yeah, she sure is perky.

Ah, Sue, come on.

My perks are your perks.

Huh?

Call me my real name

when we're alone.

What are you talking about?

That's not funny, Caleb.

You're such an asshole.

What? It's kind of funny.
It's kind of funny.

It's not funny.

Oh, Sol, please answer
my mournful cry.

Eclipse my sin and strife
with your hallow'd fire.

Oh, Sol, please hear
my mournful cry.

I did all that you asked.

Why won't you speak to me again?

Please, Sol, let me hear.

Eclipse my sin and strife.

I'm starting to think
the creatures are nocturnal.

We may need to start
going out after dark

if we want to catch them.

I'll go out on patrol

and see if I can track
their movements from the air.

Have you tested the fungus?

Not yet,

but even if it's safe,
I doubt it's farmable.

Where did you find it?

Campion said he found it
growing under a tree.

What do you mean? You weren't
there when he found it?

I was close by.

But not close enough
that you could see him.

I'm confused, Father.

Did you learn nothing
from the other night?

We're trying to teach them
self sufficiency,

which they will never learn

if we're always
looking over their shoulder.

Perhaps it is
no longer advisable

to leave you here alone.
Mother...

If you can't learn
from your errors, Father,

how will I know
you won't repeat them?

You're holding a grudge, Mother.

I am not.

Tally.

Tally?

You found me!

Mother!

Wait!

Tally.

In here, Mother.

I miss you.

Come back.

Warning... Sim is not intended

for android interface.
Begin simulation.

Tally.

Wait.

Can't catch me, Mother!

Tally?

Tally.

Where's Tally?

Tally?

This is an emergency broadcast.

Oxygen levels
have made this zone

inhospitable to human life.

Evacuate to the nearest
green zone...

No. No!

I don't remember this.

I don't remember any of this.

This is an emergency broadcast.

Oxygen levels
have made this zone

inhospitable to human life.

Evacuate to the nearest green
zone until further notice.

This is an emergency broadcast.

Oxygen levels
have made this zone

inhospitable to human life.

Evacuate to the nearest green
zone until further notice.

Oxygen levels
have made this zone

inhospitable to human life.

What is this?

Am I dead?

I don't remember any of this.

Alright, Sleeping Beauty.

It's time to wake up.

Where are my eyes?

Oh, easy now.
Easy now.

Identify yourself.
Enemy recognition routine

must be hanging around
in the cache somewhere.

Identify yourself or die,
nonbeliever.

Campion Sturges.

So nice to make
your acquaintance.

The atheist hacker.

Traitor to your people.

You've heard of me.

My memory files, they're...

incomplete.

What else do you know about me?

You were born Mithraic.

A family of great means.

You... You used the education
they gave you...

against them, denounced Sol,

stole technology for the enemy.

There's a bounty on your head.

Ah, there you are.

That's a clever place
to hide the memory data.

Traitor.

Thief.

I will exterminate you.

I'm going to make you
into our greatest hope.

Just gotta do a little bit
of cleanup first.

Good night, beautiful.

Campion Sturges.

My creator.

Where did you go?

I don't like it
when you leave me alone.

I'm sorry.

Brought you a gift.

A gift?

You've improved so much

in your emotional
re-orientation.

I'm very happy with
how you've progressed.

You are going to be
a wonderful mother.

You brought me a baby?

A little boy.

How do you feel about that?

I feel the urge to hold him.

Alright. Alright.

Where did you find him?

Found him in a camp.

Parents were dead.

Atheist resistance fighters.

An android.

You said it was a baby.

It was a test.

I failed you.

It's just a...

Just a bug in the caregiving
program. I'll fix it.

No, please don't
put me to sleep again.

Please.
I-I...

I have to rewrite
the subroutine.

Won't take long.

I love the time
we spend together.

I-I-I do, too.

There's no... no time.

Oh, no.
Please don't leave me alone.

Please. Don't...
Don't leave me...

That's it. That's it.

Are we going somewhere?

You've almost passed
all your tests.

There's just one more to go.
Come.

I have never been prouder
of anything in my life

than I am of you.

Four steps down.

That's it. That's it.

You're perfect,

too good to be true.

Is flattery the test?

Test is...

will you kill me...

if I give back the source
of your greatest power?

My eyes.

You're more pleasing
than I imagined.

I please you?
Yes.

Very much.

Have I passed the test?

Yes. Yes.

Then why do you look so sad?

'Cause I-I wish
we had more time.

You loved me.

Come.
There's no going back now.

What's this?

This is the reason
for all my work.

This is the reason
why I created you.

This... and you...

Are the future of humanity.

I don't understand.

Inside this craft

are a number
of frozen human embryos.

I've modified your body

so you're capable
of bringing them to term

once you land on Kepler-22b.

I don't understand.

You will raise these children
to be atheists.

The new world that you start
won't have the same problems

that ended our world
here on Earth.

You are humanity's last hope.

I don't understand.

You speak as if you're not
coming with me.

I can't survive the trip.

Don't leave me.

You won't be alone.

No, something's wrong.

I'm hurting.

Inside.

Yes.

I'm so sorry about that.

Come, let me fix you.

I'm going to remove the memories
of our time together.

It won't hurt anymore.

No. I'll lose you.

Alright.
I'll archive them, then.

You can retrieve them
if necessary.

Don't leave me, please.

I...

Go now.

Start over.

You are the new Mother
of humanity.

Save us.

I didn't remember.

Wake up, Mother.
What?

Wake up!
What?

A child is in danger!
Get back to the settlement!

Warning... Sim is not intended

for android interface.

Is everyone alright?

Yes.
Everyone is sleeping.

And Tempest?

She's been sleeping for hours.

Drink this. Drink it.

It's not too late.

Why did you do this, Tempest?
Why?

You could have killed yourself
and the baby.

Please, go away.

She needs some water, Father.

Father!

I don't want to exist.

No.
Then your brain is sick,

and that is a problem
we can remedy.

No.

You can't fix me.

I'm not an android.

And you don't care
about me anyway.

You only care about the baby.

I'm just a walking
incubator to you.

No.

You are all my children.

And I refuse to let
any of you die.

No matter how hard
you make that job for me.

No!

It will help you
calm your nerves.

I can calm them myself.

Of course.

You are in control.

I'm only here to protect you.

The signal's in there.

It's alright. I got you.
You're okay. You're okay.

Okay. Let me see.

Am I...

Am I gonna die?

We're all gonna die.

But not today.

Hold that.

You okay?

Alright.

I don't hear any kids,
do you? I don't hear anyone.

Are you sure this is where
the signal's coming from?

Maybe the children are...
Ah, don't say it.

Marcus.

The locators.

Other humans could have
landed here before us,

though he seemed pretty fast
for a human.

Hey.

It's a map.

All of this, it's a map.

Look.

This is the temple.

These are the hills
that we crossed.

The valley we're in right now.

The stars.

And here... I know this place.

This is a settlement,
and that's our children.

Our host has been watching them.

Really loud noise you make.

I know it's outside
the realm of possibility, but...

you seem happy.

Just grateful that Tempest
and her baby are still with us.

Grateful?
Grateful to whom?

Our creator, of course.

Why?

It's not a literal
statement, Father,

but I firmly believe that if we
continue with this mission,

a great future awaits us.

Mother.

You're starting to sound
like a believer.

What an odd thing to say.

Our creator was real.

A human. It doesn't require
any faith to believe in him.

Everything would have been fine.

But instead, they were all
alike. The world has gone mad.

I tell you.

Paul and I are only
eating the fungus.

The rest of you
should do the same.

It tested safe,
and it's fairly nutritious.

And you don't have to kill
anything to get it.

I'm glad you two
are becoming friends.

It bodes well for the colony.

O Sol, humbly we crave thy help.

Crown us, thy blood-borne people
in your everlasting light.

Teach us to deplore and drive
the tempted to the shadows.

When will we reach that blessed
abode where danger...

I thought he wasn't
listening to you anymore.

Wasn't that what you were
whining about the other night?

Why do you think he wanted you
to rape those girls?

Why would he want you
to do such a horrible thing?

I don't pretend
to know His reasons.

I'm merely His servant.

So, you never done
nothing like that before?

Before you heard his voice?

I never had any reservations

about using inferior beings
to satisfy my desires.

Perhaps that is why
Sol chose me for the task.

So, you're just a scumbag?

He never spoke to you.

I swear that he did.

But since they convicted me,
he's gone silent.

He whispers in your ear now,
Your Eminence.

Take care you don't
disappoint him,

or he may leave you, too.

Lower thy radiance from above
into our inward hearts.

Why were you talking to him?

I just wanted to hear him out.

And?

He's... He's, uh...

He's insane.

Told you.

Yeah. Yeah, you did.

You're a good man.

Now make love to me
like a great man.

It's him.

Come on.

1, 2, 3! Let go!

Very good.

1, 2, 3!

I see him.

Let me see.

Look at the target.

Get ready again.

And swing.

1, 2!

3! Let go!
