02x07 - Chapter 14: Heart

[bunniefuu]

[engine droning]

[grunting]

I'm in here!

Eva!

[breathing heavily] Eva?

Eva!

[groans]

[gasps]

[strains] What?

-[breathing shakily]
-[droning]

[Eva breathes sharply]

[strains]

[breathes shakily, groans]

[strains]

[groaning]

Cadmus, what is this?

What are you doing?

Let me go!

Let me go right now!

[squealing]

-[forest animals clamoring]
-[strains]

Cadmus, let me go.
What do you want from me?

We need your help, Eva,
the people of New Attica.

We are the last of the human race
and we are on the verge of starvation.

The source is the only way to stop that.

To grow new food.
To prevent humankind from…

-[strains]
-…going extinct.

For decades, the mysterious source
was untraceable.

We knew that it was connected
to everything, all the new life on Earth.

But now I know it's also connected to you.

[whirring]

[forest animals clamoring]

[voices] Help! Someone help me, please!
Hurry! Help me, please!

[gasps]

Before you were born, a tiny bit of
alien matter contaminated your sanctuary.

That is why I need you.

-You are my compass, Eva.
-[gasps]

You are going to lead me
right to the source.

[gasps]

If you remove the source,
all Orbonian life will die.

It doesn't have to be that way.

Humans can survive on the surface.

A domesticated dog
cannot survive in the wild, Eva.

New Attica is humanity's only chance.

I am a scientist.

I take no pleasure
in harming living creatures,

but natural law compels us to survive.

Eat or be eaten.

Us or them.

[forest animals clamoring]

-[voices] Get out of the way! Run away!
-[groaning]

[Cadmus] Hmm.

-What are you hearing?
-[groans]

Please stop. They're afraid.
[breathing heavily]

A sympathetic response.

Fear, yes.

Fear increases the connection.

-[forest animals clamoring]
-Then I need to be calm.

[breathes shakily]

[breathing deeply]

[beeping]

What are you doing?

[exhales deeply]
I won't lead you to the Heart.

I won't let you hurt them.

Them? Eva, you protect them over us?

Humanity, your own kind?

[sighs] Very well.

[whirring]

[squeals]

-[forest animals clamoring]
-[groans] Cadmus, stop!

-[beeping]
-Huh? Interesting.

That's better.

[Eva] I am not afraid. I need to be calm.

-[voice] Not afraid.
-[beeping rapidly]

Wait, what's happened?

I've never seen neural activity like this.

How are you doing that?

I'm-- I'm not.

[voice] Be calm.

The source.

You're communicating with it.

It's reacting to your fear.

It's growing in response to it.

We must be close.

[g*n whirring]

-[forest animals clamoring]
-Stop! No, no!

[Eva] Please, stop the machine.

Help.

Help me.

[chirping]

[alarm beeping]

[groans]

Stop it.

[panting]

-[voice] Help my child.
-[beeping]

[machine whirring, sputters]

[beeping]

Eva! [grunts]

[animals chirping]

If you're not interested in
saving humanity,

then I'll have to make you.

[gasps]

[exclaims]

[grunts]

[yelling]

[yelling, groaning]

[groaning]

[yells]

[clanking]

[groaning]

[gasps, groans]

[groaning]

[Omnipod] Proceed with caution, Eva.

-Critical injury detected.
-[strains] Thanks, Omni.

-[breathing heavily, groaning]
-[Omnipod] Analyzing vitals.

[grunts]

[grunting]

-[breathing heavily]
-[rumbling]

[exclaims, yells]

[grunts]

[breathing heavily, grunting]

[Omnipod dings] Blood pressure dropping,
uncertain prognosis.

Minimize exertion
and seek medical attention.

[breathing heavily]

[Eva] If you can hear me,
he is coming for you.

[voice] Hear you.

[Eight] Eva!

Eight?

Eva, are you okay?

The Heart. I can't let him get it.

I have to-- I have to warn it.

What? Eva, wait!

Stay with me!

What are you doing?

[screams]

[groaning, breathing shakily]

[Omnipod] Eva, you have internal bleeding.
Seek medical attention immediately.

[Eva] I have-- I have to help you.

-[voice] I help you.
-[breathing shakily]

[animals chirping]

[Omnipod] Heart rate elevated.
Eva, please conserve energy for survival.

[breathing shakily]

[groaning]

A sanctuary?

[breathing heavily]

[groans]

[Eva] You-- You won't be safe here.

[voice] Safe here.

[groaning, breathing heavily]

I see now that it's so much more
than an energy source.

It's an entity. A strange,
unbounded consciousness.

-[groaning]
-And it's calling her.

It's drawing her toward it
because she's part alien.

But you and I can help her.

We can protect her.

[exclaims]

[grunting]

[groans, panting]

[groaning]

[panting, inhales sharply]

I will protect her myself.

[breathing shakily]

[pants, groans]

[Eva] You have to protect yourself.

[voice] Protect.

[exhales heavily]

[Omnipod] Eva, vital signs unstable.

Broadcasting emergency alert signal.

[signal beeps]

[breathing shakily]

[groaning]

[groaning]

[breathing shakily]

[groans]

[Omnipod] Injury upgraded
from critical to grave.

We must get you help.

[breathing shakily]

[groaning]

[sighs]

[breathing shakily, groans]

[sighs]

A Muthr Unit?

[breathes shakily]
I'm-- I'm here to save you.

[voice] I'm here to save you.

[breathing shakily]

[groaning]

[gasps]

[exhales shakily]

[breathing deeply]

[inhales deeply]

[groans]

[groans, sighs]

Meego?

How could-- How can this be?

Was I dreaming?

[gasps] Muthr.

[sobs, cries]

My Muthr.

[crying]

I've missed you so much.

[sniffles, sighs]

There was so much I wanted to tell you
after you… [stammers] …died.

You're not my Muthr, are you?

You're the Heart?

[Heart] I have many names.

Eva? [breathing heavily]

Eva?

Eva, where are you?

Eva.

I'm here.

[panting]

[gasps] Eva!

No.

[breathing heavily]

[gasping]

What-- What has it done to you?

[yells]

[grunts]

[panting]

You did this.

[yells]

[thud echoes]

I need to warn you.

You are in danger.

[Heart] Do not fear, my child.

But-- But they're coming for you.

You have to protect yourself from them.

There is no them, only us.

No. No, no, no. You don't understand.

They will k*ll you.

They will k*ll all of Orbona.

No them.

Only us.

[grunts]

[grunts]

[yells]

[panting]

[straining]

[grunts]

Wh-- What-- What's happening?

Do not fear, my child.

I will go on and so will you.

[rustling]

[rustling, creaking]

Eva?

Eva!

[panting, grunting]

Stay with me!

No.

Eva.

[gasps]

[gasping]

[crying] No, no, no, no, no.

Eva, come on.

Eva, come on.

Eva. Eva. Eva.

No, no.

[sobbing]

I'm so sorry.

I was supposed to protect you.

[crying]

[whimpering]

[sniffles, sighs]

[sniffles]

[breathing heavily]

[grunts]

[grunts]

Eva!
