00:00You
00:10Previously on the ark lieutenant Bryce was the pilot on a covert mission to intercept the attack on the lunar base
00:15He intentionally threw the mission in service of the Eastern Federation. You had the chance to save my father. I'm so sorry
00:21This is my brother. He's with the Eastern Federation
00:31Oh
00:33It's might be failing but her implants have not been on for that long
00:38Seastern Federation
00:43What do we know so far the EF to one of two Eastern Federation ships to get off earth before arc 3 according to its database
00:50Well, they're packing some heavy artillery and it's all trained on us. So no social visit then
00:55Get us out of here Bryce the FTL is fully charged, but I'm gonna need a while to charge course
00:59There's no time for that. We don't know their intention. Well in that case
01:03Everybody cross your fingers and toes
01:06No
01:15What the hell is that Scotsman doing to my ship
01:18Even a junior cadet knows that activating FDL without a corset could land us in the middle of God knows what?
01:23Yeah, no, I owe you an explanation your majesty
01:26But it's not like I had much of a bloody choice since we were trying to escape death
01:31Which can only help us there's no way that ship couldn't find us again, which begs the question
01:36And all the vastness of space. How the hell did they find us in the first place?
01:39And what could they possibly want? Well, I hate to say it, but Ava is an EF operative. Oh, here we go
01:44I think we both know it's a little more complicated than that
01:47Occam's razor the most likely explanation is that she made contact. Well, how would she be able to she's been locked in her cabin?
01:53Well, she might have done it before we locked her up. Hang on. Hang on. That's a pretty serious accusation
01:58So how about we don't go jump into conclusions before we've actually bothered speaking to her
02:01Oh because she's been so forthcoming with us this whole time. Look me
02:04I know Ava a lot better than this. For God's sake Bryce move your brains from your crotch to your skull. She's one of them
02:12Spence I know you go through a lot. So I'll let that one slide. Otherwise you would be out cold on the floor
02:16Stop it both of you
02:19Strickland, please bring Ava to the ready room on my way
02:34How's she doing
02:39There's been no
02:41Improvements with these vitals she could die
02:44Improvements with these vitals she could die. Why haven't the nanites helped yet? I'm not sure
02:51She's always healed faster than this
02:54She should have stabilized by now
03:01Ava you admitted you were a member of the Eastern Federation
03:05That was your chance to explain yourself
03:08Okay, not much to it
03:10When I was trying to get off earth, it seemed like the F would never even finish building their ship
03:15So Harris and I changed our records posed as GSA and got on to arc one so we could escape earth, right?
03:23Not such a crime. No, is it sorry which part fraud or sneaking onto a government vessel?
03:28Ava the Eastern Federation showed up with weapons pointed at us
03:33He did. Yeah, we lost some they jump into FTL. I need to know did you contact them?
03:38No, then how did they find us I don't know I
03:44Am loyal to this ship, why should we believe you? How do we know you're not loyal to the Eastern Federation Lieutenant Lane?
03:51After all I've done for this ship and this crew
03:53How can you question my loyalty because you already admitted you were loyal to those monsters?
03:57I was at one time but you're wrong about them. They aren't monsters really
04:02And how many GSA people need to die before we can categorize them as monsters in your eyes?
04:07They have a good reason to hate the GSA. I did before I got on this ship. I still hate some of the command structure
04:13We left behind
04:15what kind of leaders send a young recruit on a suicide mission without even telling them and
04:21Do you even know what they were doing on that lunar research colony?
04:26Not really it was a top-secret mission
04:29The GSA was developing a biological weapon that would have wiped out most of the world's population
04:35Wait, what how dare you my father was a hero
04:39Felix get her out of here. Hang on. Hang on. I want to hear her out. We need to focus on the current problem
04:45Ava if you didn't contact them, do you have any idea how they found us or what they want?
04:50No, can you at least tell us what kind of weapons they have on board their vulnerabilities? I
04:57Don't know anything about the F ships. They launched after we did really didn't use three of them to kill my father
05:03I wasn't there
05:06But the fighters who were used small converted shuttles
05:11Captain they're preparing to jump out of FTL Strickland return her to her quarters. We'll continue this conversation later
05:23Well, where are we
05:26About five light-years off course in the middle of nowhere
05:28So it's a new trajectory for Trappist and gets back on track, but the FTL is gonna take some time to charge. Sounds good
05:34Oh
05:46God how the hell did they find us again? Even we didn't know where we were going
05:57What the hell sensors just detected an energy spike in engineering
06:04Engineering damage report
06:07Engineering we've just been hit with a doozy of an EM pulse targeting our FTL on the lips. We've got no engines
06:15We're sitting ducks
06:34You
06:45Why aren't they shooting at us what are they waiting for they're probably just relishing the moment
06:55They're attempting to hail us on comms
06:57I
07:03Want this is captain Zeta Vega of the f2
07:09Surrender our soldier to us at once. I'm captain Sharon Garnett of arc one. Why do you want Ava?
07:15Ava
07:17No, I want boy and Vukovich
07:20Hand him over along with the shuttle
07:23He stole from us, of course, they were tracking their shuttle this whole time
07:29hmm, I would gladly surrender boy and but
07:32I'm sorry to tell you this he died
07:36We rescued him from arc three, but he took his own life. I
07:41Don't believe you I'm telling the truth. We'll gladly return your shuttle, but Boyan's not here
07:53I
07:59Assume by Ava you mean boy and sister Ava Vukovich
08:05Return her on my shuttle if she verifies what you say about Boyan's death
08:10We'll be on our way. You have a lot of weapons hanging off your ship
08:14How do we know you won't open fire on us either way?
08:17Despite what you've been led to believe captain
08:20We're not cold-blooded killers like the GSA and unlike the GSA
08:25I have no desire to push the human race closer to extinction
08:30Previous Eastern Federation actions be like that captain. I myself have lost a lot of friends to EF attacks
08:36I'm not going to explain
08:38EF actions to a GSA officer. So let me make myself perfectly clear
08:44If you do not return Ava and my shuttle I will have no choice but to destroy your ship
08:53You have 20 minutes
08:58Sharon you're not seriously considering sending her over there, right?
09:03She should decide this is her life. We need to consider the lives of everyone on this ship
09:08Send her back to her people and we might just live to fight another day. It should be Ava's choice
09:12Hopefully she chooses to rejoin them and save the rest of our crew
09:18Alicia
09:19Go check with mr. Tress to see if there's anything you can do to get the engines back up sooner
09:31Hey, what are you doing out of yourself security?
09:37Security
09:43Something wrong security you wish to report something
09:54They want us to return you in their shuttle if we don't I said they'll destroy us
10:02Then I have to go for the sake of this ship and
10:07everyone on it
10:15Ava seems like you don't want to go back. I don't want to leave Bryce. I
10:24Don't want to leave my friends in the ark
10:27But you said you hated us I said I hated the GSA leadership, but that's not who any of you are
10:37I
10:42Trust
10:43Garnet you didn't have to send a genius girl here
10:47I had it under control except you missed the fact that the differential battery is misaligned. I missed
10:55How can I help you captain
10:56Do you remember when you told me if we ever wanted to rig up a makeshift weapon you had an idea how to do it?
11:01Oh, I
11:03Thought you'd never ask
11:07Oh
11:12Alright everyone you're perfectly safe. There's nothing more to see let's go back to our posts, please come on. Yeah, let's go
11:26Are you not at all worried about what's on the other side of that glass
11:31Brother people have been trying to kill me every day in my life since I was born
11:35Literally to me it's just Tuesday. It's Thursday you see that
11:43You see days where there are none and I see everything is one long endless Tuesday
11:47Yeah, it's amazing how different we are is it which reminds me something's just been running through my head
11:53How the hell is it you came to be raised as a normal?
11:59Well, I don't know
12:00For as far back as I can remember I had a mom and a dad. I don't remember any lab
12:05You got any pictures of your parents?
12:11Yeah
12:15Oh
12:18See now that explains a lot. What do you mean?
12:23Your dad was the officer we used to see through the window when we was at the labs kids
12:27I think he was the officer that was in charge
12:31You sure yeah
12:34He must have taken you from the facility, but he stole me as a baby. Well, I don't have a stole I
12:40Mean technically we might have all been his property to begin with if you know what I mean
12:49Oh God
12:51They told me that my mother couldn't have children after she had me
12:55Well, maybe she could never have children in the first place
12:58He brought me home so that they could raise me as their own
13:03It's all a lie
13:12They just hailed us put them through
13:15Captain Avega appreciate your patience captain garnet. Have you reached a decision?
13:21Are you sending a Vukovich or not?
13:28I'll let Ava speak for herself
13:35Captain Vega with respect. I prefer to stay here. I thought I made myself clear
13:41This is non-negotiable. It's Ava's choice not yours or mine. She wants to stay with us. You're welcome to take your shuttle back
13:50How do I know she's not talking under duress? I'm speaking freely. They left it up to me
13:58Then you've dug your own grave
14:03Sharon
14:06They're arming their weapons
14:10Now mr. Trust
14:22Their weapons just lost power
14:25Great job, mr. Trust. You're welcome, but all I did was buy us time
14:30But we still have to fix our engines
14:33Before they fix their weapons
14:43There will be consequences for this GSA we were merely defending ourselves as well we as well we
14:50May
14:54I suggest we send a second pulse targeting the life-support system. No, you'd be killing everyone on board
14:59You can bet your friends on that ship is trying to fix their weapons. They can kill everybody on our ship
15:04If we attack them without giving them a chance, what does that say about us that we like being alive?
15:11That we're exactly who they think we are what you thinking Sharon
15:16I
15:21Think it would be in both our interests to meet what for peace talks
15:28Sounds like a trap only a fool would fall for if we wanted you dead
15:32We would have attacked your life-support systems. You don't have the ability to take out our life support
15:37How do you think we took out your weapons?
15:40There's nothing for us to talk about
15:43I
15:45Really hoped you'd be willing to talk. Goodbye captain ready the EM cannon tune it to their life-support frequencies
15:58Yes, mom readying the weapons no ready on my command I
16:08Propose a swap a
16:11Swap
16:12I'll come on armed with my second-in-command to meet you and yours
16:18But to assure my safety you will send two of your people to my ship if anything happens to us while aboard your ship
16:27The same will happen to your people here. I assure you nothing bad will happen here
16:32Then nothing bad will happen to your people on my ship
16:35Give me a moment
16:38But
16:40I'll go
16:41No, I need you as my number two in the negotiations. I'm your number two EF killed your father
16:47Do you really think you're the one to be negotiating peace? I'll go
16:51With Kimmy Kimmy is a friggin EF hunter. How about Griff?
17:07I
17:38You
17:53With the Vega coming here for peace talks, I need you to tell me everything you can about the Eastern Federation
17:57I'll tell you what. I know I keep telling you there and who you believe they are
18:02The EF has stopped the GSA from doing a lot of bad
18:06Mr. Trust you worked with the GSA for years. What's your take?
18:09Well, I wasn't working for the GSA when the whole lunar colony thing happened
18:13They came calling to me after that. But do you recall the state of the earth at the time?
18:17Yeah, large sections of Earth's mantle were turning molten crowding survivors into less and less space
18:21Yes, and as a result resources were slim, which is why in my opinion the GSA was doing the right thing
18:28The right thing for example had that lunar colony mission been successful
18:32It would have made my job much easier once I started working with the program. What do you mean?
18:36What were they trying to do?
18:37They were trying to develop a bio agent to painlessly kill six billion people on earth
18:44I'm sorry. Did you did you say billion?
18:49With a B. Yes
18:52Look, it's quite logical with fewer people remaining earth's slim resources would have lasted longer and I would have had time to build more ships
18:58Killing many to save more. Precisely. Why didn't you tell us about this sooner?
19:04He never asked. It just sounds too evil to be true
19:07Look, it's simple maths. The billions they would have killed would have died anyway a few months later
19:12Their early deaths would have saved the lives of many others. It's a trolley problem
19:16The trolley problem?
19:18It's an old philosophy thought experiment
19:20You have the controls of a train that's barreling toward 10 people on a track
19:24You can switch to a different train
19:27You can switch to a different track, but that track has one person on it who would die
19:32What would you do? Well, it seems fairly obvious. I mean you'd kill the one to save the 10, right?
19:38But what if the 10 were 90 years old and the one was a baby?
19:44I guess um
19:46I guess you would kill the 10 because the baby has its whole life ahead of it exactly what the GSA thought
19:52So you're saying that
19:54My dad's program was designed to murder billions of innocent people
19:59He would have died anyway soon enough
20:01It would have helped to save many more human beings in the long run, but you left out one thing
20:07Who chose who survived?
20:11The GSA
20:13Yes
20:14And they chose themselves the wealthiest and the most powerful
20:18That's why the EF wanted to stop it. I had no idea. I'm, sorry. I just I need a minute
20:24So
20:33If what you two are saying is true, does that mean
20:38Are we the bad guys
20:41You
20:53You go a minute sure are you holding up
21:03He was a good dad
21:05At least the man he was pretending to be my father was a good dad. Yeah, i'm sure he was
21:11At home, you know
21:14He was making a biological weapon to kill six billion people
21:18He must have somehow believed he was doing the right thing
21:22Same twisted logic that trust used
21:25Do you know if you'd have succeeded in stopping the eastern federation from attacking the lunar colony? He would have killed all those people
21:34Yeah, I mean I
21:36I don't really know how I feel about all that to be honest
21:41I always thought it was the biggest mistake of my entire life. So
21:49Spence are we? All right, we will be
21:56So
22:09Kimmy
22:11captain I um
22:13I've heard you've arranged peace talks with the enemy. That's a mistake. We'll see right now. I need to pick your brain
22:20Arc 15 left earth quite a while after arc one
22:23What can you tell me about what happened between the gsa and the eastern federation during that time? Well, like I said, yes
22:31You want to know if the gsa were in the wrong
22:36Uh
22:37Kinda well, I hate to break it to you. But from where I was standing they sure as hell were
22:43That's not true. Well, then so were the eastern federation
22:47They both did bad things
22:48Take it from a clone. It was abused by everyone
22:54Ian you're a perfect neutral party
22:57Uh, thanks. You're not affiliated with the gsa or the eastern federation perfect to mediate the peace talks. Well, how's it?
23:08Well, I guess I can play intergalactic peacemaker today and finish my book tomorrow, yeah
23:19So
23:31Captain garnet spread your arms and legs, please
23:35Captain avega, this is felix tricklin and yelena griff. They will be going to your ship
23:40Yelena
23:41a nice islamic name
23:43I'm serbian
23:44Of course you are
23:46Never understood why so many from our part of the world would join the gsa instead of the ef
23:51Okay, nasa and the euro space agency merged with the serbo-croatian space agency to keep them in the fold
23:57They were one of the three best space agencies on earth. The csa was arguably the best
24:02I'll beg to differ
24:03Let's just say combined
24:05They were better than the sum of their parts
24:08I assure you
24:10You will both be safe aboard the ef2 as long as your captain keeps her word. I will if you will
24:16Thank you
24:18Captain avega, this is lieutenant james bryce
24:23And ian your mediator
24:25No last name
24:27No, just here. He's a clone
24:29That I am the eastern federation has historically
24:34Disapproved of clones. So is the gsa which is why he's an excellent neutral party
24:40Right this way captain
24:43The choices like that are exactly why I can't imagine any peace between us. Oh, not with that attitude
24:49Now tell me have you ever tried potato vodka?
25:06Can we all just stop talking at the same time, please
25:10Thanks, this is pointless
25:20Captain
25:24What's your end game here just drift alone in space forever an island unto yourselves
25:31No
25:33We're going to trappist
25:35Trappist
25:37Why trappist specifically
25:40We received intel the gsa ships were headed for proxima and ross
25:46We wanted to avoid them
25:48I hate to tell you this but there's already a gsa colony being built as we speak at trappist
25:54And more gsa ships headed there. You wouldn't be avoiding anyone
25:58So that leaves you only
26:01one other option
26:02What's that find another planet
26:08Come with us
26:14Why would you trust us I would only under one condition your ship fully disarms
26:22Absolutely not. So what are you gonna do then? We're going to keep our weapons and when we get to trappist we'll fight for what's ours
26:30Restitch we're finished here
26:42Whoa, whoa, can we just hold on let's take a minute. Can we just grab some snacks?
26:49You can't give up that easily
26:51I'm sorry. It wasn't the outcome you wanted but you'll have to excuse us
26:57Go ahead do it
26:59Squeeze the life out of me
27:02Everyone stay where you are. What are you doing? Sharon kill me
27:06Have you lost your mind kill me?
27:09Then my people will kill you your ship will fire mine mine yours and everybody will die
27:14Even though none of them had anything to do with this and nothing to do with what happened in the past
27:18And if your other ships ever find trappist
27:20The gsa will attack them on sight your ships will fire back and on and on this endless cycle of violence will continue
27:26Until there's no one left. So go ahead
27:29Kill me you've made your point do a finger on my captain. You can be the world of her pal
27:38I don't think I have
27:42In our first encounter you said to me you didn't want to contribute to the extinction of the human race
27:47That's it
27:49Did you mean it or not?
27:52Because if you walk out this room, that's exactly what you'll be doing
27:56Let's go on start with me first
28:04She always this forceful or you have no idea
28:09So
28:24If we disarm
28:27How do we know the gsa won't open fire on us when we arrive at trappist
28:34You follow us there when we arrive you wait behind at a safe distance
28:38We'll negotiate with the others for you to peacefully join the colony
28:43When it's safe, i'll summon you
28:47We can't disarm captain it's suicide if you arrive at trappist with weapons hanging off your ship I guarantee
28:56They will open fire on you you have to dismantle them
29:00So
29:07You aren't seriously considering this
29:11She has a point no, she doesn't like it or not ristich
29:16Garnet's plan may be the last and only hope for us all
29:22All right
29:24Let's talk about how we make this happen you can be serious
29:29This decision will ensure that gsa kills us all we owe it to humanity to try peace
29:36You're a damn fool a vega that's enough lieutenant
29:47Shall we
29:58So
30:18I don't know why
30:22But I can't stop thinking about you thank you for coming
30:29So
30:54Is she awake
30:58Angus kelly
31:04What the hell are you doing, I don't know what just happened kelly's vitals are stabilizing
31:14Nanites
31:16Huh, she needed all her nanites in order to heal so they found a way home. So i'm not crazy
31:23Oh
31:27Nanites are like like tiny robots it can affect any organ in your body
31:34Including your brain they led you to this moment
31:39You're gonna be okay kelly
31:42So
31:49Wait, there were two of them
31:51Our man who went to your ship was our head of security
31:53So lieutenant lane and kimmy joma have been filling in for him while he's gone
31:57Once we return i'll send your people right over then i'll brief my crew
32:02on the conditions of the peace plan
32:04Garnet, I want to thank you
32:07You opened my eyes
32:09In a way a lesser leader would not have been able to
32:15Thank you captain, I can't let you do this. I beg a lookout
32:29Easy easy. He's still got a pulse. Thank god
32:39I got him lane. Help me get him to my bed. Stay with me

33:35Ef2 this is captain garnett
33:38Garnett
33:40I'm second lieutenant wick. What is going on over there? I wish we were meeting under better circumstances, but
33:47Something terrible has happened lieutenant restitch attacked captain avega and one of our men
33:55With a knife he smuggled aboard I tried to tell him I wish I didn't trust you
34:05We had nothing to do with it
34:07He'd tell you himself that we didn't I have no choice but to execute one of them both if you don't return lieutenant restitch unharmed
34:16Captain avega is still alive. Our doctors are trying to save his life as we speak
34:20You have one more hour to save our leader
34:25Damn it
34:35Hmm
34:42That knife did a lot of damage I can't stop the bleeding clean
34:47Pressure is dropping
34:49God damn it. What?
34:51I've been trying to repair his sliver, but it's so trashed. It literally disintegrate under the sutures. Keep cleaning this
34:57If he dies, it'll cause a war. Well, i'm sorry, but unless you know how to make liver out of plain cloth
35:04In a few hours, he's a dead man
35:07We need to stop this blood clean clean
35:10Come on, spencer

35:23It's not good sharon
35:26The knife destroyed captain avega's liver I
35:29I can't save him. Well, you you gotta save him because they're gonna kill strickland and griff and probably the rest of us
35:33If you don't i'm not god
35:36There's only so much I can do
35:42Sanji
35:44I don't um, I don't think spencer is gonna make it either sharon
35:50What
35:53Both his kidneys are damaged
35:55His spleen is basically gone. He's lost two liters of blood and we can't pump it into him fast enough
36:01Well, there's got to be something you can do. I have tried everything. I know please believe me
36:07Okay, well switch patients. Maybe there's something that you missed that that you didn't see in the other way around
36:13Kabir has tried everything I would have
36:16And the other way around
36:18How about kelly's nanites?
36:21They can repair a lot of damage, but they cannot manufacture whole organs
36:25Sharon an hour's past. How's it going down there?
36:32Not good james

37:33No, no that is not an option
37:39Sharon
37:40sure
37:42Look, I hate this as much as you do
37:45But spencer is not going to make it
37:47And one of his few organs that is still intact is his liver. I said, you know, don't worry
37:54Yeah, i'm sorry
37:59Look

38:04He's in this pickle because he was trying to save that bloke's life to begin with
38:09And you think it's what he would have wanted
38:12It's your call sharon
38:31If I agree to this
38:37Do you promise that you can save a bag of dr. Marsh
38:42As long as his body doesn't reject the thin piece liver
38:45No, it won't
38:47It's what we're made for
38:49Universal organ donors
