02x03 - Chapter 10: Discovery

[bunniefuu]

-[bird squawks]
-[breathes heavily]

[Otto] Eva, are you there?

-[Eva] Otto?
-[Otto] Otto, Rovee, trapped.

[Eva] Otto, where are you?

[Otto] The metal men shut the door.

[stammers] My eyes are open
but it's still dark.

[Cadmus] Eva.

Is she okay?

She's, uh, just a little, uh--

A little shaken up. All the birds.

Eva, get me out of here.

I am so sorry. I didn't mean to scare her.

She just needs to get home.

Here, let Jose take a quick look at her.
He's my personal physician.

It would make me feel a lot better
to know she's healthy enough to leave.

And Eva, I took the liberty
of downloading your history

from your Omnipod.

Very interesting.

Perhaps we could get some tea
and discuss your unique ability.

Oh, Muthr doesn't allow caffeine.
That's, um--

It's not good for, uh, my system.
I'm hyper.

But I should get her and then--

So, thank you for everything.
Thank you-- Thank you.

-[Eva] Just keep breathing. Are you okay?
-[Eight breathing heavily] Yeah.

Yeah, the-- There were just, uh,
a lot of those things.

-What?
-[Eva] Cadmus.

I need to find my friends.

He's got them somewhere.

Somewhere dark.

How do you know?

I can hear them.
I t-talk to them in my mind.

You mean telepathically?

That's why Cadmus wanted to see me.

It was a test.

[exhales sharply]

Well, looks like
he's not done testing you.

We have to get to the rendezvous point.

There's a service tunnel
on the other side, just past the arcade.

Follow my lead.

[Eva] Over there. On the left.

And another one on the right.

Cadmus has his eyes on us.

This way.

[gasps]

Oh. [gasps]

[gondola] Gondola arriving.

Gondola door opening.

-Greetings. I am a…
-In here.

…New Attica Transit-share Gondola.

-Where may I take you?
-Okay. Now.

-[gondola] Gondola door closing.
-[grunts]

-[Eva] Let's keep moving.
-[Gondola whirs]

I think I know
where Cadmus has your friends.

Underground.

It's a maze of tunnels.
Hopefully, Violet has the map.

-Is anyone following us?
-No.

[Eight] Come on.
There's an entrance on the ground floor.

I think we're in the clear.
[exhales sharply]

Maybe not.

-[Meego chuckling]
-Oh, great.

Hello, New Atticans.
The time is three o'clock.

A great time to be with friends.

[chuckling]

Yay. [chuckling]

Wow. Uh-oh.

[chuckles]

[Eight] Almost there. [inhales sharply]

How do we get past that?
Creepy giant Meego head.

-[New Atticans chattering]
-We got this.

Hello.

-Jolt color.
-Thanks. You should all try it.

Sure.

Oh, wow.

-[laughs] Jolt. Whoa!
-Bliss.

[chuckles]

See you later.

-See ya.
-Bye.

-Catch you later.
-See ya.

[Eight] Yeah, that's it. Hurry.

Come on.

Eight, over here.

-What is she doing here?
-Yeah, what is she doing here?

-She led Cadmus right to us.
-She was following me.

It's not her fault. Is everyone all right?

Uh, no. Cadmus sealed the sanctuary
after you left.

We grabbed what we could.

I'm so sorry. I-- I really--
I had no idea. I--

What's done is done.
The question is, now what do we do?

We stick to the plan.

-Kai, get the stuff to a safe place.
-Trievertown. Got it.

Xander, Violet,
check out sections 12 and 15.

Twelve is my lucky number.

We need to find out what Cadmus is up to.

[Xander] Before he black holes us.

-What about you?
-Cadmus has her friends.

We're gonna break them out.

Are you kidding me?

Violet, do you have the map?

-Uh, yeah.
-[Meego] We got this.

We'll meet you in Trievertown. Good luck.

Is there anything I can do?

If you find anything, contact me.

And don't get caught.

[Meego] Today is a great day--

We've been mapping these tunnels
for some time.

The holding cells are here.

Come on, let's go get your friends.

[Eight] Just around this corner.

There it is.

[pants]

What is this?

[Eight] It's the vertical farms,
where New Attica grows its food.

[Eva] But everything is dead.

[Eight scoffs] Oh, great.

This is not good.

[Eva] Whoa.

[Eight] It descends all the way
to the earth's core.

-Whoa.
-Impressive, right?

It's the thermal vent.

-This powers all of New Attica.
-[Otto] Eva, help.

[Eva] Otto, where are you?

-[Otto] Rovee is hurt.
-[Eight] Come on.

-The holding cells are this way.
-[Otto] Otto is scared.

-Where are you going?
-[Otto] No way to escape.

-No. My friends are this way.
-[Otto] Eva, help.

-Eva, no. They'd be in holding.
-[Otto] Help us.

-Help.
-[Eight] He wouldn't take them there.

You need to follow me. Eva.

-We don't go this way.
-[Otto] The metal men are back.

Eva, don't let them put me in the box.

[breathes heavily]

[Eva] Otto, tell me where you are.
Make a sound.

[distant roar]

This way.

They're in there.

Cadmus's lab?

Wait, that-that's a high-security room.
We-We can't get in there.

-[beeping]
-[doors whirring]

-What are those things?
-[robots whirring]

I have no idea.

-[Otto roars] Eva.
-[Eight shrieks]

-[Eva] Otto.
-[gasps] Eva, come on.

-Let's go. That thing will k*ll you.
-No, that's-- That's Otto.

-We've got to get out of here. Now!
-You don't have to be afraid.

-Eva, come on.
-But these are my friends.

Friends?

Your-- Your friends are aliens?

-[Otto roars]
-Eight!

[Otto groans]

[Otto] Oh, I'm glad you're here.

Otto.

Otto, what did they do to you?

[Otto] The metal men, they hurt me.

But they hurt Rovee even worse.

Rovee, wake up.

[stammers] Wake up. Come on!

-[groans]
-Rovee.

Rovee, what can I do?

Get me home.

-[breathes shakily] T-To Faunas.
-Faunas?

-Where is Faunas?
-[beeping]

[Otto] Eva, hide.

[robot beeps]

[Otto] Eva, w-why are they hurting us?

[Eva] I-- I don't know.

It doesn't make any sense.

[Otto] Where are they taking me?

[Eva] I'm not sure, but I won't leave you.

-[Cadmus] Launch meeting.
-[beeps]

[chattering]

Welcome, board members.

What I am about to say
is not to leave this room.

-Do not share this information…
-Omni, begin recording.

-…with anyone.
-[Omnipod] Recording.

In one month,
New Attica will run out of food.

-[board members gasp, clamor]
-Millions will die.

The end of the human race.

As you know, to maintain our colony,

we harness the power of the earth's core
through a thermal vent

that sustains our network
of vertical farms.

A biome that is now dying,
infected by unknown pathogens.

Our colony will collapse.

[board members clamoring]

Please, please, calm yourselves.
There is no need to panic.

I have, for some time,
been working on a solution.

First, I have manufactured
a battery of patrol units.

Authoritons.

These units will manage any public unrest
that may occur during this difficult time.

Secondly, and most importantly,
I have a plan that will save us.

Reveal the specimens.

[board members clamor, gasp]

To renew our dying planet, these invaders
used a powerful energy source.

This energy source brought new life,
new species, new growth.

By studying this alien flora and fauna,

I've learned this source has the power
to save New Attica.

We can harness its energy to
restore our garden,

to supply us with all we need

to keep New Attica
prosperous for eternity.

[board members clamoring]

Until now, I was unable to locate
this mysterious source,

but I've discovered a compass
that will lead me directly to it.

A human with the ability
to communicate telepathically

with the alien life-forms.

Eva 9 of Sanctuary 573.

Omni, send video to Violet.

-[Omnipod] Sending.
-[board members applauding]

Members of the board,
because of my findings,

I know Eva 9 can lead me to the source.

Catastrophe will be averted,

and New Attica will continue on
in prosperity.

[board members chuckling, applauding]

No. I'm not helping you.

Rovee. Come on, Rovee.
Rovee, wake up. Wake up now.

-[Authoriton whirs]
-What did you do to my friend?

Only what needed to be
done to save our species.

With the information your friend provided
and your abilities,

I will find the source
and save humanity again.

Eva, you are going to be a hero,
leading me to the source.

No. [grunts]

-[grunts]
-[swallows]

[Cadmus groans]

[Otto] Thank you, Eva.

[alarm sounding]

Come on, Otto. Let's go.

[alarm continues]

[groans, sighs]

[Eva] Come on. Follow me.

[Otto] Let's get away from the gray man.
Run!

[Eva] Otto, turn around.

[Otto] Which way? Which way?

[Eva stammers] I-- I don't know.

-[gasps] Whoa.
-Violet!

Glad I found you. Get in here.

Aliens?

-These are my friends.
-And where's Eight?

We got separated.

[Violet]
With friends like that, I'm not surprised.

[pants] Wow. I don't know
how you got that video,

but it is way better
than anything we ever had on Cadmus.

[pants] We gotta get you
out of New Attica.

[Eva] We gotta get out
of these tunnels first.

-[Violet] Whoa. Hold up.
-[Otto] More metal men.

Change of plan. Come on.

Give me the map. Gotta find another route.

This is weird.
This room isn't even on here.

Uh, what are those?

[Violet] I have no idea.

-We should go.
-You think?

[Authoriton] Alien life-forms detected.

Come on.

[Authoriton] Halt.

You must comply.

Halt.

You must comply.

-[Authoritons whirring]
-[beeping, whirring]

Need a lift?

-[Otto grunts]
-Eight.

You say they're your friends,
then I trust you.

[whirring]

Come on. Let's go now.

[Otto] Otto doesn't like metal men.

[Otto growls, grunts]

Trievertown is that way.

What's Trievertown?

Your only way out of New Attica.

-You coming?
-[scoffs] No. I gotta find Xander.

Thanks, Violet.

Hey, you know Sanc-Bos
gotta stick together.

[Otto] Otto is right behind you, Eva.

It's just down this tunnel.

We need to get to Evan 4.

[Authoriton] Infractors located.

How many of these things are there?

[Authoriton] Halt.

Keep going. I'll try and stop it.

Come on.

Come on.

[Authoriton] Do not resist.
Proceed immediately into containment.

[grunting]

-Stop resisting.
-[gasps]

-Comply.
-[grunts]

Eight, run!

[Authoriton] Do not resist containment.

Infractors escaping.

Halt. Do not resi--

[panting]

Evan 4! It's Eight!

[Eva] Vanpa? You're Evan 4?

Yes, sir.

Fours do more.

I need to get him to Faunas.

Never heard of it,

but these blue fellas
come from the Green Spot.

Hmm. Made some enemies, did he?

[Hailey] What is going on?

Oh. It's you.

Well, just the hotshot
for an urgent mission.

They need you to take the blue fella
toward the alien forest.

-All of us to the alien forest.
-Alien forest?

That's where you're taking him?

[Authoriton] Halt. Infractors located.

Whoa! Okay, time to go.

Vanpa, what are those things?

[Vanpa] Whatever they are,
they ain't friendly.

Hailey, fire up the Bijou.

Eight, come on. We'll be together.

I won't leave your side.

[Authoriton] Infractors escaping.

[Hailey]
They closed off the launch access.

Well, override it then.

[Hailey] They're blocking
the transmission. I can't override it.

Well, then we've gotta open it manually.

But-- But the override is down there
at bay door three.

Vanpa? Vanpa!

Vanpa, what are you doing?

I gotta see a man about a robot.

[chuckles]

[Authoriton] Halt.

Stop.

Come on.

[Authoriton] Do not resist containment.

[grunts] Let go of me!

Let go of me, you tinheads!

-[Authoriton] You must comply.
-[groans]

-Stop resisting.
-[groaning]

You ain't bested me yet. [grunts]

-Bull's-eye.
-[beeping]

Yeah!

[straining]

[Hailey] Vanpa.

Don't worry,
I'll come back for you, Vanps.

[sniffles] What did Cadmus do to you?

-[coughing]
-I shouldn't have left you. I'm sorry.

We're taking you to Faunas.
Your people, they can help.

Hailey, head to the Green Spot.

The Green Spot, right.
Uh, that's a pretty big area.

I'm gonna need a little more information.

To Faunas, his village.

Right. No idea. You got any coordinates?

Hold that thought. We got company.

[spaceship whooshes]

-[thuds]
-What is that thing?
