I wanted to trust you.
You can trust me.
Cosima: We're property. Our bodies, our biology.
Any freedom they promise is bullshit.
I'm sick, delphine.
They'll never accept you.
Rachel: Who would you choose as the first face of human cloning?
I'm not dead.
I need you.
We came for the fountain.
Delphine: Rachel is ramping up their agenda.
And this has something to do with it.
Where are you taking her?
I'm going to sardinia.
Do you remember your car accident, Kira?
(Siren wailing)
Stay with me.
Kira: Mrs. 8 said it was a miracle.
It might actually be something in your genes.
(Both grunting)
Sarah: There's something in the woods, cosima.
Mud says it's a bear. I think it's an ogre.
Cosima: I don't know, looks pretty human.
Years ago, he chose another scientist.
Sarah: Coady.
Pt. And Susan recruited me.
We pushed fon/vard. And we created a monster.
(Drill whirring)
(Whooshing)
Hello?
Girl: Oh, my god.
You need to leave right now.
(Man growling)
(Machine beeps)
(Indistinct snarling)
Seriously, who is it?
(Screaming)
"This organism and derivative genetic material
"is restricted intellectual property."
- You can't let them win. - Ah!
I'm intellectual property, delphine.
This... none of this matters.
They made me sick.
Then we'll find a cure. Okay?
There's nothing... nothing that's mine.
Hey, you have me.
You.
(Whispers) Yeah.
You... you were paid to lie to me.
I'm sorry.
Hey.
Come here.
I can promise you one thing, here.
I will always work to protect you.
And you will win.
They own me, delphine.
(Whispers) No.
No, they don't.
Yes.
They do.
Not your integrity.
My integrity.
Not your intellect.
My intellect.
Not your humor.
My humor.
Defy them.
Delphine: Live your life with every ounce of passion
that I know that you have.
Then they will never own you.
(People shouting)
(Theme music playing)
(Indistinct chatter)
Ray's going to be fine.
He had some trouble in the woods last night.
Nothing life threatening.
Yolanda: Okay, good. But that thing is attacking us.
It's attacking us near our home now.
We're dealing with a bear, yolanda.
There's nothing to worry about.
Woman: Salvador, everyone knows it's not a bear.
When do we get the truth?
My husband would not lie to you.
(Scoffs)
Aisha.
(Speaking other language)
Aisha: I'm coming, I'm coming.
(Speaking other language)
Hey, you look healthy.
Would it be okay if I... If I examined you?
The messenger said you're not supposed to.
I know, I know. But he's such a grumpy Gus, isn't he?
You okay with it?
Yeah? It's okay?
Okay.
Can I see?
It's a lot smaller, isn't it?
Magic water.
Drew a spring for me.
(Speaking other language)
She says he can cure cancer, he can cure death.
Here.
- Look, see. - Thank you.
I'm getting better.
Can I borrow this?
Hey, there you are.
Yup, I'm right here.
Morning, love.
Cheers.
Where you off to?
I'm going down the lab to see the boys.
I'm just trying to fit this
coady story into the mix.
Yeah, making monsters with pt. And Susan back in the day.
(Exhales)
Wish we could talk to cosima.
I know.
You don't have to whisper.
I'll go upstairs.
Okay, okay, we won't, we won't.
There's a familiar look.
We're... we're talking about neos.
And trying to put the puzzle together.
And where are the pieces?
We all have to do our part, love.
Your mum and I were off figuring out what the neos did in the past
so we know what they're gonna do now.
I'll leave the rest to you.
- Yeah. - See you later.
(Door opens)
Sentries every 50 meters around the perimeter. Any sightings, they tell us.
We deal with it.
We have to find this thing.
We'll keep everyone in their homes.
Till he's done.
But he doesn't want to hurt anybody.
You know what we do here. Experimental science.
Sometimes, there are mistakes.
We all have orders.
Get to it.
Says she might calm it down.
Then they take her.
Please,
go to your cabin.
Stay inside till we've dealt with this bear.
It's just a precaution.
Salvador: There's nothing to fear.
What's really out there, Salvador?
Ana, please.
(Speaking Spanish)
(Dogs barking)
Cosima: Mud.
Hey, what's going on?
Not now.
It's more and more like a police state.
They just wanna make sure no one else gets hurt.
I saw his cage, mud.
What did p.T. Do to him to make him violent?
It didn't always use to be like this.
He used to have his own room upstairs.
And then...
They started doing these new experiments and...
(Stuttering) I just couldn't.
I can't see him locked up like that.
Oh, you let him out?
Keep your head down today, okay?
There's a lot of vips at the big house.
Rachel's already here.
Hey, mud, let's go.
Vamos.
(Whispering) Wait, wait...
- I gotta go. - Mud, wait. Mud.
Cosima: Delphine.
Back in your shelter, please.
To an historic moment.
All your hard work is finally paying off.
Thank you.
It's good to be home.
This is a very special night for all of us.
The villagers are restless, Susan.
(Sighs)
This creature that you won't talk about has everyone on edge,
and pt. Is just...
Polishing the silvennare.
I'm steering him, ira.
It's all I can do to keep a hand on the filler.
(Groans)
Let me help you.
Just be careful.
The villa in sicily.
Do you remember the color of the roof?
(Sighs) I'm not glitching, Susan.
You always acuity-test me when you want to change the subject.
Only 'cause I still care.
Surrogate selection is complete.
Thirteen hundred subjects
are awaiting hormone injections to prepare for implantation.
Thirteen hundred. My, my.
I'm so glad that you urged us to snap up the patent
on those treatments.
All right.
Pressure there.
There we are.
If anyone deserves cosima's inoculation,
it's you.
More than any of them.
Rachel: Thank you.
And now, I need you to pay your mother a visit.
Need to assure certain onalties.
Security on several fronts.
Well, then, let me ask after this escaped subject.
Why capture it when you should have it eradicated?
Because this mutation is important to me.
Because life, long or short, is never perfect.
I only meant...
We can't predict all outcomes, can we?
For instance,
how old is leekie?
Could you have predicted that he would wind up
buried underneath some random crone's garage?
I must remember that you know most things.
Most.
But I need a few things clarified before this evening.
Westmorland: Delphine!
(Door opens)
Mr. Westmorland, Rachel.
Rachel: Delphine.
Looking wind-blown.
(Exhales)
Westmorland: Splendid work you've been doing out in the field.
You've brought some samples, have you?
Yes, the sardinian gene bank you purchased is a gold mine.
But I was hoping to be on my way to Geneva this week.
Patience, you're here for a reason.
Everything will be revealed tonight.
Right now, we need something from you.
Your friend, cosima, she crosses certain lines.
Threatens sensitive research.
What is it you need to know?
(Knock on door)
I've hidden the knives.
Hello, mother.
You're looking well.
The prodigal daughter returns.
Remarkable recovery you've made for a woman your age.
Women my age either recover
or die.
I'm sorry.
If it helps.
It doesn't.
Work helps.
You need me for the surrogacy program.
And even though you don't trust me,
I am the only one you can trust.
Because neqution science saved your life and now, you are born again.
And because
I want my life's work to go on for a very, very long time.
That's you, Rachel.
You didn't think I could accomplish this.
You surprised me.
You said they would never respect me.
That a clone couldn't have autonomy.
I was wrong.
You've shown great restraint in securing Kira Manning in our care.
My care.
(Gasps)
She's in my care.
Make no mistake, p.T. Put me at his right hand.
Corporate runs the science.
Whatever he needs, Rachel.
Whatever he needs.
- (Door opens) - Delphine: Hey.
(Door shuts)
Nice of you to stop in.
Yeah, I just landed.
You look great.
I heard that the treatment was working.
Yeah. Yeah, it's working.
I saw you go up to the house.
Okay, yeah.
I had some samples to deliver.
I don't know how long I'll be here,
but pt. And Rachel want me at a meeting tonight.
Really?
So what have you been doing for them?
I was collecting stupid stool samples from centenarians.
And they say science isn't glamorous.
(Laughs)
I don't even know what it's for.
I'm trying to put the pieces together, but they keep us both siloed.
What have you been able to figure out?
You told me to look into Aisha.
Yeah.
Look.
This is hers.
This weird book, but it's got a med chart
and a kid's diary in the back, and they reference naked DNA.
They're manipulating tumors.
Not with chemotherapy, but with gene therapy.
For wilms tumor.
Yes, a wilms tumor is caused by a gene associated with organ development,
and it normally shuts off in infancy.
Lin28a, right?
But with wilms tumor, the kidney continues to grow and...
Becomes cancerous.
Leekie was studying skin and organ regeneration
using the same gene in spiny mice.
Did you know that spiny mice have 90% of the same genes as humans?
- Really? - Mmm-hmm.
And you're supposed to pick them up by the tail, like this.
Mmm-hmm.
When you put him down he feels safe and crawls all over you.
You know, I saw... um...
Auntie Helena.
- Really? - Yeah.
How is she?
She misses you.
I know.
Yeah, that's kind of why I went to see her.
To try to understand this connection that you've got with all of us.
You feel it too, don't you?
I know you saved me when I was on that island.
Kira, if you can teach me everything you know about that feeling,
then I'll tell you whatever you want to know about
all the grown-up stuff we do.
Okay.
So this is all the more recent stuff?
Right, so project leda,
project castor, this is pro-longevity research on the island.
And leekie's book.
We know about p.T's early life.
Elite boarding school, university.
Publishes on the science of neolution.
Disappears into the jungles of Southeast Asia.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the movement goes dormant.
Until the late 1950s, when the name neolution
is revived by obscure academic circles at Cambridge.
Where Virginia coady meets Susan Duncan for the first time.
Exactly. Coady was a visiting scholar in the early 1970s.
So, we need crossovers.
We need lovers, benefactors.
Men who might have died around that time.
Died?
Well, obviously, love.
We're trying to figure out if this man here
is the same one as this man here.
This was Aisha's genome when her tumor was advanced.
Look, low promoter methylation.
Yeah, right at the locus of lin28a.
- (Machine beeps) - (Coughing)
One second, I have a hunch.
Whose DNA is in the sequencer?
Whose is this?
It's another one of p.T.'S research subjects.
He's been experimenting on someone up at the house.
(Dogs barking in distance)
Salvador: This thing attacked ray.
Like a wild animal.
So how are you gonna calm it down?
Mud: I don't know if I can. He just... he knows me.
He used to, anyway.
I brought my wife here for the fountain, and now, I'm hunting a monster.
He's not a monster.
And you have orders to take him alive.
Listen, people are scared, amiga.
It gets near me or my family,
I'll put a bullet right through it.
Look, see, they're manipulating the expression levels of lin28a
in both of these subjects.
This is Aisha and this is...
The human experiment that p.T. Had chained up in his basement.
Yeah, I saw him.
I saw the cage that they're keeping him in.
- Cosima, stop. - And they're doing horrific...
You are pushing too hard.
They know you're digging.
I have to.
No. Right now, you're risking everything that I'm doing on the outside.
What are you doing on the outside?
You can't tell me, right?
- Right. - Okay.
- Why am I not surprised by that? - Okay, just listen to me.
I'm listening.
Rachel has access to Kira.
They've been testing her at dyad.
What? Why didn't you tell me?
I just got here. I'm telling you now.
(Door opens)
Delphine, you're requested for dinner.
I'm coming too.
You're not invited.
Just stay here until I get back.
Lin28a.
Tell westmorland I found his fountain.
You are not suitable for dinner.
Come on, follow me.
Please.
Does he want us to dress up for him?
Yes.
(Scoffs) No.
- Dress or leave. - We'll dress.
Thank you.
Rachel's studying Kira at dyad.
That means that it's connected to whatever shit they're doing here.
Yes, okay?
It is related to Kira.
But we'll endanger her if you ask too many questions.
So what should I do, sit back and just let it happen?
We'll learn more if we play along.
Play along in a dress like this?
Frock that.
This is not appropriate.
It's totally appropriate.
He wanted to speak with me?
Follow me.
What? Hey.
What are you doing?
(Classical music playing)
Cosima: Susan.
Still alive, yes.
I didn't know whether to believe it.
You're breaking bread with Rachel?
Over there, please, ira.
You along for the ride too, ira?
Cosima.
Your people wish you well.
Let me see how that goes.
Ah, yes.
Rachel will be along shortly.
Yes, here we are. Sorry to keep you waiting.
Delphine: Thank you.
Susan, I believe they're onto us.
They've discovered our interest in lin28a.
Oh, so that's why you're here.
Wanted a seat at the table, did we?
I'm not so sure anymore.
Hmm.
(Mud gasps)
Salvador: You scared of the dark?
Mud: No.
That thing got ray at night, too.
Not far from here.
In the dark, he might not know it's you.
(On radio) Sal, it's Cooper. Come in.
Go ahead, Coop.
Cooper: Sentries spotted something near the woodshed.
One of us needs to confirm what it is.
Copy, we'll check that out.
Let's go find your friend.
Salvador: Go.
(Classical music playing)
You have a lot of dead things in here.
Yes, aren't they delightful?
Yeah.
Did you kill all of them?
Taxidermy is the fading art of faded species.
But you see,
dan/vin never would have gained a spot aboard the beagle
without knowing taxidermy.
He learned it from a freed slave while in medical school at Edinburgh...
Dan/vin flunked out of medical school in Edinburgh.
Yeah, thanks.
You're right.
Yes, he always felt...
Thank you.
That he had failed his physician father
and his adoring mother.
And by the way,
how are your parents?
Cosima.
- My parents? - Yes.
Westmorland: Sally and...
- Gene. - Yes, gene.
(Sighs)
Well...
(Clears throat) They, uh...
They still think I'm in school in Minnesota.
I haven't spoken to them in I don't know how long.
Uh, which isn't unusual for us.
They're... they're, uh...
Professors and they live on a houseboat, so they're pretty remote.
Anyway, but...
But, um...
They're in love.
And they love me.
But
I haven't even told them I'm sick.
Because if I did that, then I'd, you know, crack.
And I'd have to tell them everything.
I'd have to tell them that I'm a clone.
And then they would
know that everything's a lie.
Mmm. Oh, my.
What a delicate balance you have.
The clinical and the humane.
Rachel.
So sorry I'm late.
Hello, cosima.
I'll be right down.
(Upbeat music playing)
(Giggling)
Okay, so cosima's codename is sunfish.
- Yup. - Yes.
And Helena is shark.
Shark, that's good.
Great name.
What about Rachel? What's she?
Rachel...
Is elephant.
Oh, and here's her cane.
- (Kira laughing) - Why is she elephant?
Elephants are scared of mice.
She's scared of you, mouse?
(Giggling) We don't want her to be.
- (Door shuts) - Hello.
What's s?
S is what? What? What?
- Home. - Home.
- S is home. - Yes, I am home.
What's going on?
Kira wants to be in on the, uh...
The action.
- Oh. - I'm gonna be a hustler, too.
You justjumped her right in there with both feet, did you?
Yeah.
We're finding a way to be safe, right?
Little tricks and then,
maybe even gain Rachel's trust?
- Yeah? - Mmm-hmm.
Oh, well.
That is the hustle, isn't it?
How do you go about that?
How do you gain someone's trust?
You have to figure out what they want first.
And then give it to them
without them realizing it.
And what is it that Rachel really wants?
Lin28a.
The so-called fountain of youth gene.
We're decades ahead of popular science.
You're both lucky to be here.
It's a momentous time.
'Cause you've isolated the mutation in Kira, haven't you?
Bravo.
Of course.
Her healing ability is a self-regulating mutation of the gene.
Which does not cause cancer.
Unlike Aisha, whose cancer you've manipulated, not cured.
You mind your tone.
No, no, hear her out.
I'm very interested to hear what else she's learned.
Indeed.
Cosima?
Delphine told us you took a tour of my basement.
(Clock chimes)
Well, so sorry to cut this short.
Duty calls, Rachel.
Rachel: Yes, I'm afraid it does.
The helicopter should be leaving soon.
Delphine, I know you have important work in Geneva.
Yeah, that's right.
What? Are you serious?
Better leave while you can.
Thank you.
Sorry to cut your reunion short.
(Shouting) See her out, if you wish.
What in the actual hell?
Why would you tell him that I was in his basement?
He wanted information. I had to give him something
so that he'd let me go to Geneva before it's too late.
What's in Geneva?
What's so important that you would throw me under the bus?
Felix is there.
- Felix? - Yes, he's there with Adele.
We're all working on the endgame,
but I can't share information that endangers that.
Yes, I know. Right.
Jesus Christ, this again.
Hey, hey, hey.
Do you remember when you told me you were sick?
You remember?
You feel this?
I made a promise.
I promised to protect you.
And I promised to defy them.
This is what we do. I push too hard and you do things without my consent.
That's our relationship.
Now, we can end it...
Or we can just accept it as it is.
That felt like "accept it".
Yes.
(Sighs)
This is what he does, he divides women.
Then you just go back in there
and act like he's divided us.
- Go first. - (Breathing heavily)
I don't... I don't see anything.
- I think we should go back. - Check inside.
Maybe it was just livestock or something.
(Breathing heavily)
- See? There's nothing. - Shh.
Put your rifle down. We're supposed to take him alive.
- Shut up. - We're not supposed to kill him.
We're all safe when the thing is dead.
(Gasping)
(Choking)
Yanis... (Straining)
Yanis, please. It's me.
(Gasping)
Man: Oh, god.
We found him
in a Latvian orphanage.
He showed remarkable healing.
He was our first lin28a subject.
He's a person.
He's my deepest regret.
Susan: For the record, I was not the scientist conducting the trails.
But I did synthesize the gene.
You synthesized it?
And put it in the leda genome.
To see if accelerated healing would manifest in you.
Which it didn't.
It manifested in Kira, the unexpected second generation.
(Door slams)
There's an emergency. It's in the village now, sir.
God's sake, percival, what did I tell you?
All right. We'll see to this.
You'll be safe here.
(Glass shattering)
You lock the door, you stay put till I give the all clear.
That thing is in the house.
Be quiet, ira, close the drapes.
- Chickens coming to roost. - These are not my chickens.
Yes, they are. That man that's coming after you,
there's a direct line from him to Kira.
Ira: Listen to her, Susan.
How are you going to exploit Kira's mutation?
Susan: Don't you know?
- No, no, I don't. - What do you think?
We have to know if the trait is heritable.
You're going to harvest her eggs.
This is where it got in.
But it's injured.
We'll find it.
No, it won't be necessary.
I know where it is.
I won't need that.
Just in case.
He's unpredictable, sir.
Westmorland: Ah.
- How many surrogates? - Thirteen hundred to start.
Thirteen hundred? That...
Those are Kira's children.
Sarah's grandchildren. Do you even think about it like that?
You can stop him, Susan.
I can only steer him.
And you can help.
Together, we can mitigate the damage.
She's a little girl!
You're a woman, you're a human being.
If you don't start there, there's nothing left to mitigate.
I'm gonna stop him myself then.
Lock the door behind me.
- The roof... red. Roof, red. - What?
It was red.
Are you glitching?
Shit.
Mud, what's going on?
Is he down there?
Is p.T. Down there?
- Cosima: Okay. - He... he knows I let yanis out.
Yanis?
His name's yanis?
(Sobbing) He was shot.
- Let's go help him. - No.
- Don't... don't. - Come on.
P.t., he's not well, that's why all of this has been happening.
(Music playing on radio)
Don't go down there.
I understand now.
And...
Why you're doing all this reckless science.
Focussing in on one gene when you know it's never about one gene.
She's getting warm, yanis.
Oh, look at the poor fellow.
- Oh, the poor boy has been hurt. - (Groans)
He only wanted to come home.
You're dying, p.T.
(Creature groans)
This is your legacy.
- Yanis. - Huh?
(Whimpering)
He was a healthy kid.
Like Kira.
And you dismantled him.
All this suffering just so you can extend your life?
You're not even 170. That's all smoke.
You want to end the suffering?
Here, you can do it.
I warned you.
Go ahead, you do the ethical thing.
- (Straining) - Go on.
(Inhales)
(Whimpering)
(Cosima sniffling)
You gave me life.
I know you can take that away.
You can't take away my humanity.
(Gun clatters)
Cosima: Please, I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I'm... I'm cosima. Okay?
(Crying)
(Door u n locks)
I don't have much time. My flight to Geneva leaves soon.
Well done on securing that.
Felix and Adele are making inroads there.
How's cosima?
She's healthy, at least.
But we found out what they're really after in Kira.
It's a specific gene.
Everything I know is on here.
Siobhan, your deep throat, the one that led us to coady.
Can we count on them again?
I'm not sure we should have in the first place.
But why?
Because however they are planning to exploit Kira, it's happening soon.
(Thudding)
Let me out!
Please!
I'm not letting you out.
Cosima can rot.
Think of my niece, please!
- (Knocking) - It's them.
Ira: You're not a murderer.
No, I'm everything but.
You've been hiding someone from me.
Oh, jeez.
I'm weirdly into smart guys lately.
(Both screaming)
She's been poisoned by big cosmetics.
What about... What about that is confusing?
