01x06 - The Answer Is Here

[bunniefuu]

[waves crashing]

[tense music]

[fire crackling]

I think you might be right.

I may not get there.

But you have to make sure
at least one of us does.

I always knew...

It'll all come down to you, kid.

[chuckles]

[man] I've traveled.

Jay!

Jay, Jay! It's me. It's Sol.

Look at me, look at me,

[man] I saw it all. Took many paths.

Trying to save those I cared about.

But I always knew that saving
them was not the answer.

Do it! Just...

[g*nsh*t]

Sacrifices had to be made.

Didn't matter which path I took.

[thunder rumbling]

I always ended up at the same place.

The place where it all began.

[ominous music]

[thunder rumbling]

This is the place.

This is Station 7.

[thunder rumbling]

Oh, my God.

Oh, my, God.

[soft melancholic music]

[suspenseful music]

[panting]

[alarm blaring]

Hey, Stella. We got company.

[thunder rumbling]

[g*nsh*t]

Hey!

Who the f*ck are you
and what are you doing here?

Hey!

Slow your roll, Terminator.
I'm talking to you.

Easy.

Are you Drummer?

I asked you first.

My name is Sol.

Yeah, I don't know any Sol.

My brother is Jay.

Where the f*ck is Jay?

He's gone.

Then what the f*ck are you doing here?

We need help. We're beaten up.

- We need meds.
- I'm not just letting anybody in here.

Who the f*ck are you?

[thunder rumbling]

We're mean b*stards.

[tense music]

[intriguing music]

[water dripping]

Others want to take her.

Your demon is very strong.

Your protection is strong. It is growing.

I safe baby. Nobody hurt Mara.

Nobody will, Beryx. Nobody will.

[suspenseful music]

[dripping]

Hey.

Good morning, Mara.

Did you sleep well?

A real bed. It's been a long time.

Where is Beryx?

Hunting for rabbits,
setting traps, always setting traps.

[wind howling]

- So why a demon?
- Drink this first.

It will help build up your immune system.

Then we can deal with the
funny stuff or... not so funny.

[giggling] Maybe not funny at all.

[slurping]

[pensive music]

I've never seen anything like this before.

Not enough fruit
and vegetables over here, but

we have the sea.

Beryx hunts.

It's all completely self-sustaining.

Our own little world.

It's beautiful.

Come. I'll show you something.

There was a storm.

The whole month had
been full of storms,

but this one

was a monster.

It raged all night, and in the morning,

everything was so clear.

I came here,
and Beryx was standing there.

[thunder rumbling]

The Miasma.

Who knows?

You said your friends
were seeking the source.

I wish them well.

But I stopped asking a long time ago,

I know a little of its effects.

That's all.

[suspenseful music]

When we arrived,
it was a 10th of the size,

but it's definitely a source.

And there will be others
coming from deep underground.

Any idea on its composition?

No, I'm not a scientist.

But its density is increasing

and pretty soon
it will engulf the whole station,

which is nice of it.

What about these?

Why don't we eat? Have a drink?
It'll help.

Well, we started out
as a small expeditionary team.

There was three other scientists

and I was just the engineer,
Mr Fix-It Guy...

The scientists?

Yeah, Dave Perry,
Mike Garcia and Susan Johnson.

They went behind the mist wall
and never returned.

Oh, except for Perry.

So how old's Adam?



I bet he's a good kid.

[sighs]

He is.

Drummer thinks I'm a pessimist,

but I would argue that I'm a realist.

And if your boy's made it
this far through all you said,

then he'll make it here.

I hope so.

[lights buzzing]

As you can see, we're pretty
well stocked in provisions,

food, medication and other supplies.

We used to have a supply
truck in the old days

that used to come once a month,

but then it didn't and

things started breaking down.

But fortunately, being just Stella and I,

we've been able to maintain
a decent amount of inventory.

What happened to Jay?

[suspenseful music]

The Miasma.

sh*t, I'm sorry, man.

[leaves rustling]

My husband built this house

all by himself.

Since then,

he became an inspiration for me.

I was a psychologist

treating soldiers
suffering from shock, severe shock

flashbacks, terrible nightmares,

Most never received any treatment,
or worse, any understanding.

So I created

the demon.

Their guardian to help
and reassure them.

And it worked?

Not for everyone.

Many of those boys were deeply
damaged psychologically

beyond anything I could do.

But I had plenty of time
to refine the procedure.

I'll show you something.

[hands clapping]

[intriguing music]

Have a look.

Some of my boys.

That's you!

And my husband, Henry.

He died after a mustard gas attack.

When?



I know.

I should be dead,

but,

Time here...

It's different.

Or... or I've been moved in time.

How?

I don't know.

The place... the house

has its own separate time.

But it's much better here,

than it is out there.

Yeah, I've been trying to get that f*cking
car started for weeks, but no dice.

Where did you get your vehicles from?

Dead people. [Chuckles]

Get them from others.

They've been tracking us.

Took out some of our people.

Don't worry, they're gone now.

I can fix it. It's nothing that fancy.

Oh, OK, well, cool. I will...

I'll go for up to gennie
and get you guys situated.

[wheel chair rattling]

To say hello and glad to meet you.

I don't drink.

One shot.

Numb the senses to try and
make sense of this madness.

[glasses clink]

[clears throat]

We didn't think you'll find us.

There were moments...

Jay...

Jan...

Mara,

[inhales] and Adam.

Too many.

[tragic music]

How did you, uh, end up, uh...?

Have you always...?

I fell from the aerial tower
doing a repair job.

Luckily, I didn't land on my head.
[chuckles]

I had Drummer and I had this.

When your boy gets back, we're going
to have a real big celebration.

- Everyone's invited.
- For what?

My wedding.

Mm-hmm.

It's going to make it
a whole lot more fun with guests.

[somber music]

Want to check the engine block,

make sure there's no thrown rods,
pull the plugs,

fill the cylinders with engine oil,
let it sit for a few days.

And then just do the rest.

[tools clattering]

You got quite a playground here, man.

Yeah, but for the obvious reasons,

me and Stella are gonna
have to bounce soon.

Yeah? Where are you thinking of going?

Looking at Button Lake.

- I know it.
- Yeah?

It doesn't really exist anymore.

It's a giant cesspit.

There's a little town

north of the lake about 50 miles

you can get there by car,
but you're going to have to park

and hike the rest of the way.

[footsteps receding]

[squelching]

My husband was a very practical man,

always planning ahead,

planning the house,
the garden, what to wear,

what to eat next day,
assessing the weather.

He had this habit. [Sucks finger loudly]

Every day, standing in the garden,

holding his finger up.

[chuckling]

What for?

To see which way the wind was blowing,

whether there would be rain or not.

Did it work?

Sometimes.

He drove me crazy.

I'm naturally disorganized,

where the wind blows, I go.

Jan always made me laugh.

[pensive music]

He was a teaser,

a joker,

easy going.

It really helps when you have
so much sh*t to face.

I didn't like him when we first met.

I didn't like that boy at all.

Coming on to me, all full of attitude

like it was a given we'd be together.

So I took him down,

see how he'd respond.

You took him down?

I punched him.

And when he got back to his feet,

he punched me back.

He pulled his punch, though.

After that, we were fine,

looked out for each other.

I never tried that with Henry.

Different times.

The chances of a long life out there

are close to zero.

But maybe it will be different

for the child.

We'll help make it different, Mara.

[thunder rumbling]

[suspenseful music]

I saw something OK,
I don't know if he was real

or if I was hallucinating,
but I can tell you this.

It is not safe!

We've got to go in.

Who is we, Sol?

- I'll go.
- No, Freya.

I'll go in.

Me too.

This is a really bad idea.

Drummer went in and he barely got out.

We got masks. We'll be fine.

So did Perry, and he came out dead.

The Miasma is super f*cking thick
and concentrated. It's not safe.

What was the message?

Close the portal.

That's right. Close the portal.

We came here to not give up.

To not walk away.

Our mission is to stop the Miasma.

We don't know enough about it.

If we don't stop it,

we're all dead anyway.

[tense music]

We find this.

This arch, this portal,

whatever it is, I need to see it.

Your colleagues knew something.

And I want to know what that was.

Sol's right.

It needs to be done.

They'll be fine.

They're mean b*stards.

[thunder rumbling]

[items clattering in bag]

Take these.

We're not going to need them.

Suit yourself.

[thunder rumbling]

We won't be long. Any sign
of danger, we come out.

Come back sane, the both of you.

We will.

It's a big mistake.

[ominous music]

[drums playing]

[eerie music]

[breathing loudly]

Ramiz, do you see this?

Tell me I'm not going insane.

What the hell?

What is this?

[electricity buzzing]

[drums playing]
