A Neolution gives us the opportunity at self-directed evolution.
You're gonna see glaciers and hot springs.
KIRA: There's reindeer in Iceland.
Topside is sending an investigator to Dyad.
You have to play Rachel.
Who's a dirty clone?
Rachel, I trust you had a pleasant journey abroad.
You'll wake up with a perfectly matched prosthetic eye.
Take care of Krystal.
Now you come to me, because now you believe
your girlfriend is a mole for CASTOR.
I don't know who CASTOR is.
Tell me everything.
Oh, my God, it was you?
GRACIE: They told me that I could help save Mark.
I love him.
How long do I have?
We'll find the original CASTOR.
She's the CASTOR original.
Absorbed a male twin in the womb when I was formed.
I got two cell lines, me.
SARAH: That's your mum.
CASTOR and LEDA are siblings.
She's LEDA.
(GIRL GIGGLING)
RACHEL: Do you remember that day?
GIRL: Sorry, Daddy.
That's right. Sorry, love, you're just meant for us.
ETHAN: Leekie killed my Susan.
"...were boiling up out of the enclosure
-"and through their stormy darkness -(GASPS)
"of flickering threads of blood red flame.
-"And the thatched roof..." -(GASPS)
ETHAN: (SOBBING) Come on, Rachel!
RACHEL: You can't leave me again. No!
(EXHALES DEEPLY)
Hello?
Doctor?
Hello?
Is anyone here?
(BREATHING SHAKILY)
(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)
This place has been tied up in court for months.
Your friend seems to be making himself at home.
FELIX: Ahoy there, Scotty.
Nice work, men.
-Hey. -ART: You'll be safe.
No one will find you here.
Okay?
Hey, I can't thank you enough for this.
Well, I do what I can for the sisters.
You know that. Just call.
-I'll be close by. -See you.
Right. Scott, shall we bring her in, then?
Voila, the woman of the hour.
Get off me! I'm not a bloody criminal.
Threatened and arm-twisted onto a plane,
stuffed into a bloody clown-suit in the back of a van.
Give 'em here.
There you go.
What are you gawping at, you toothy little git!
MRS S: Get your arse in the tent.
Get off of me. Jesus.
Hey, how come my original looks nothing like me?
Yeah, that's one of the cool things about a chimera.
I'm right bloody here.
Sorry.
With two different cell lines in your body,
they express differently in combination.
But isolate the female genome and you get...
But, her other half is CASTOR.
You're still breathing now, Ma,
but I will incinerate you,
if it looks like one speck of your flesh
will end up in their hands.
Er, no one is getting incinerated. All right?
(SIGHS) Hold fast, Scotty.
Cosima's on her way.
We're not safe here. I can feel CASTOR coming after us.
You know they are coming.
Not only that,
Delphine has Topside breathing down her neck.
Yeah. 'Cause we've got what they want.
We've got the original. They are all coming.
Well, we're not gonna avoid them then, are we?
No, we're not. Gird your loins, Scotty.
COADY: Is the director on board?
BENCHMAN: Well, I'm not sure...
BENCHMAN: Can you take care of this?
-Of course. -Maybe.
COADY: I'll take care of my boys.
BENCHMAN: All right.
Ma'am. Mr Benchman.
How are you feeling?
I'm fine. Did you see the director?
Sarah found your original.
I want you on the ground there in two hours.
The director wants you to know
how much he appreciates your service.
I can make it.
Just tell me what needs to be done.
Sarah's gone to ground with the original.
None of her people are visible.
Except for one. Who do you think it is?
The soccer mom.
I am so thrilled to be here on this sunny election day.
And I challenge us all to think of our children today.
And vote for Hendrix for inclusion.
Can I get a little neighbourly love for Bailey Downs?
Thank you, Maggie. Thank you, Gavin.
-So nice to see... -(FEEDBACK SCREECHING)
-Marci? -Alison, we're not in India.
There's no provisions for loudspeakers on election day.
Oh, I think that's what you call a loophole, Marci.
You are perilously close
to violating the election charter.
Kids not cuts. Okay?
Who would like some free soap?
-Hey. Go on. -Anyone? Vote for Hendrix.
Deep breath. Okay, wait for it.
What is this surprise, Donnie Hendrix?
(CHUCKLING) No, I'm not gonna ruin it for you.
Are we going on election bus with sestra Alison?
Er, I am, but you're not.
Here.
All right. Press it. The middle one.
(BUTTON CLICKS)
Okay. Go, go, go.
-You found my boyfriend. -DONNIE: Surprise.
We thought, you know, it'd be nice for you.
(CHUCKLES)
Okay, go.
-Howdy, Helena. -Howdy, Jesse Towing.
(CHUCKLES)
(KNOCK ON DOOR)
Shay, it's me.
Are you with your psycho girlfriend?
No, I am alone.
Sorry, I know you didn't do anything.
So I am not a corporate spy now?
-(SCOFFS) -Delphine just...
We work on classified science.
We have a lot of reasons to be paranoid.
Reasons? Mmm. She's insane.
You know that? She told me she was gonna
open my veins and let me bleed out in my bath.
What?
I don't even know what to say to that.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, I bet you don't.
Why didn't you tell me you're in the military, Shay?
Did you do a background check on me?
You're not practising Chinese medicine, are you?
No, I quit that, too. I'm just an RMT.
(SIGHS)
Why would you lie about that?
Because we met on Sapphire, a dating app,
where you fluff up your profile,
re-invent yourself.
You know, for that I'm a liar?
Because really, I think from day one,
you've been the liar.
I have...
I have, like, no clue who you really are, do I?
I wish I could tell you.
So, tell me. Just...
Just tell me.
Sorry, I can't.
Just go.
Go!
(DOOR OPENS)
(DOOR CLOSES)
Dr Cormier has blocked off the rest of the day for you.
How thoughtful of her.
(DOOR OPENING)
-Dr Cormier. -DELPHINE: Hello, Ferdinand.
Could you leave your man outside, please?
(LAUGHS)
I'm impressed, Delphine.
You eliminated Rachel.
And Sarah's done what no one else could,
found the original.
All I found was a council house, burnt to the ground.
No casualties, thank goodness.
No trace of any organic material at all.
Ever wondered if you're overplaying your hand?
Constantly.
Delphine, there is nowhere I like to be more
than under the heel of a woman,
but sometimes it makes me seethe.
Rachel was special. She was so...
...beautifully brittle.
I want the original.
Once I return her to Topside,
then I can have my own seat at the table.
And then you can toil under my heel.
How's that?
That's not how it's going to work, Ferdinand.
Ferdinand.
Miss Manning.
I'm gonna give you one chance at a deal.
You've become quite the player, haven't you?
Last time I saw you, you were shackled in the basement.
Was I?
You've come all this way across the pond,
why not try some local colour?
Who is a dirty clone?
You are.
(CHUCKLING) What? You two...
That was you, all the time, as Rachel?
You're not getting Kendall Malone.
All you need are biological samples.
With her genome, Topside can finally reproduce
Duncan's cloning trials.
But I want CASTOR dead.
DELPHINE: You're the lesser of two evils, Ferdinand.
Virginia Coady is trying to weaponise their pathogen.
But, without her science,
without the original, CASTOR dies out.
I can get Coady for you.
But if you cause any bullshit,
Malone's incinerated. Every cell.
You wouldn't kill LEDA's only chance of a cure.
I'm immune.
-You okay? -I'm nervous now.
I'm having, like, hot flashes.
-Hey. -MRS S: You ready?
Yeah.
I'm not gonna let one of them touch my blood.
MRS S: Blood and tissue, in fact.
Look at this one! Like a pikey with that hair.
Another pikey bloody doctor stealing my genes like Duncan.
-(CHUCKLES) -Oi, you think it's funny?
You think I'm a laugh?
No. No, not at all.
I think that we should get you out of this suit
because it's totally unnecessary.
(SIGHS)
Oh, it's unnecessary for me to look like a bloody fool?
Hey. I'm Cosima.
May I? Hey.
Yeah?
Aw, that's better.
You know, erm, your clones, we call each other sister.
Call yourselves what you want. You're just a bad copy of me.
Yeah, we're kind of over the whole "bad copy" thing.
It's way more accurate for us to call you older sister.
Touch me and I'll gut you!
It's okay.
Hey, I got it. I got it.
I think I should stay though.
-She's not going to gut me. -MRS S: I wouldn't be so sure.
I don't owe you nothing!
No, no.
In fact, I owe you.
You gave me the stuff of life.
And you're...
The closest thing I'll ever get to a cure.
So could you give a sister a little blood?
Awesome. Thank you.
-You sure it's them? -ART: (ON PHONE) Yeah.
They're under assumed names, but, er, it's them.
-Yeah. Room 207 -207.
What are you gonna do?
I'm right here, and I have no idea.
FELIX: I do.
Thank you, Arthur. That will be all, okay?
-We'll talk to you later. -(DISCONNECTS CALL)
You always think that I can't handle the tough stuff.
But you know what, Sarah?
This time follow my lead. Okay?
Fine.
(GRACIE GASPS)
Holy shit! It worked.
-That was badass, Fe. -Thank you.
Get up, you bleeding weasels, you've got company.
You gave them the book.
The most valuable thing we had.
So what?
So you could buy your way out of CASTOR?
What do you think, Coady's just gonna call you from Mexico
and tell you she's got a cure?
She's not interested in a cure.
No, she is interested in that weapon inside you.
She's not gonna let you just walk away, Mark.
All I know is that this feels like freedom.
We just want the next few months together before...
(INHALES SHARPLY) Before it kills me, too.
-(GRACIE SOBBING) -Mark, you can help us.
We can stop Coady,
but we need to know what her next move is.
Please.
GRACIE: Just tell her.
If those two can sequence your genome,
your miserable genetics may actually help.
They're your genes, too. And this is how you treat me?
No bath. No bed to sleep in.
(LAUGHING) Bath, is it?
-Here's your bath now. -What's that, then?
Sulphuric acid.
Two ways to thoroughly destroy genetic material,
incineration or chemical reaction.
(GASPS) And there's me thinking
you were gonna kill me with that bath.
I was planning garden shears actually,
some satisfaction for my John.
John Sadler started that fight,
I just finished it. He got what he deserved!
But I loved him.
I loved him, and you took him away.
He took you away from me.
But now you've got my precious blood,
you can finally get your revenge.
Not quite yet.
But I promise you, if anything goes sideways,
if it looks like CASTOR has located us,
you are going into that acid.
-DELPHINE: Ferdinand thinks Rachel is dead. -(MONITOR BEEPING)
And he's poking around.
Well, I'll have her moved to a private facility.
Right away, please.
(SIGHS)
(DOOR OPENS)
(DOOR CLOSES)
Rachel?
(GRUNTS)
(GASPING)
Oh, my God.
Rachel, I need you to calm down.
Nurse. Nurse, I need some help.
-What? Where am I? What? -(SHUSHING)
You're the doctor from the salon.
What? What?
You're the family doctor.
Krystal?
What am I doing here? Why am I here? What's happening?
-What happened to my eyes? -It's okay. No, no, no, no.
-What happened to my eye? -You have to lie down...
-Dr Cormier. -What?
-Should I get Dr Nealon? -No, no.
Please, just wait outside.
And do not tell Nealon.
-Am I blind? Am I blind? -Relax. You have to relax.
-Just lie down. Just breathe. -What happened to my eye?
We're gonna look at it. Okay? Just breathe for me. Relax.
Oh, my God! Oh, my God! I can see.
-Okay. -You're fine.
No, I'm not fine.
Why do weird things keep happening to me?
What's in my nose? What is it in my nose?
Finches.
Where am I? (SIGHS)
Tell me where I am!
Who's keeping me here?
-JESSE: Wait. A prison break? -(MUSIC PLAYING ON RADIO)
-HELENA: Yes. -Holy moley!
(CHUCKLES) Yes, much moley.
I break free my sestra,
now Mrs S is my new mother.
And I live here, and make soap,
and teach children karate.
-Wow. You do live large. -Mmm.
Man alive, it really is good to see you again.
(HELENA MOANING)
-(HORN HONKING) -(HELENA MOANING)
-(CHUCKLES) -Okay.
-(HELENA GRUNTING) -Ah!
(CHUCKLING) Okay.
Just, wait... (GRUNTS)
I have science baby inside me,
but you are my first.
Gosh, sweetheart, you had me at soap-making.
-(MOBILE PHONE VIBRATING) -Wait, wait.
-Where is that thing? -Here.
Where is it?
This is new phone from my brother, sestra.
What?
My family needs me.
What? Erm, right now?
Well...
I have waited long time for this.
I can wait longer.
So can I.
PHOTOGRAPHER: Over here. Smile, Alison.
One more shot, please. One more shot.
Great! Thank you.
-Okay, five minutes max to kiss babies, okay? -Mmm-hmm. Okay.
Three more stations to hit before the polls close.
Okay. Thank you, Sarah. Thank you.
Alison, I feel really good about your chances.
ALISON: Oh, thank you, Denton.
We really appreciate your support.
Keep your fingers crossed.
Oh, Lordy. Okay, everyone, on the bus.
Okay. Yeah, let's go. Go. Go, go.
S, we're back.
Just trust us.
We know what we're doing.
ALISON: Okay, everyone, on board.
All the way to the back, please.
Thank you.
SUPPORTERS: (CHANTING) Here we go, Alison! Here we go!
-Everyone on? -DONNIE: Yes, honey. Come on, let's go.
SUPPORTERS: (CHANTING) Here we go, Alison! Here we go! Yeah!
Here we go, Alison! Here we go!
SARAH: It's from Donnie.
Rudy's tailing Alison.
It's like he said. He's gone after our weak flank.
I still do not trust him.
All right. Can we get on with it?
There isn't a lot of time.
-(GRUNTS) -FELIX: Shit.
Now the eye.
-DONNIE: He's still there. -(CHANTING CONTINUES)
-You all right, honey? -Mmm-hmm.
Er, (STAMMERING) we'll be making a little pit stop.
Just a quick stop.
Are you okay with this?
ALISON: Yes, Donnie, I'll be fine.
DONNIE: Okay.
All right, everybody,
let's go on to the next polling station.
Come on.
(DOOR CLOSING)
(CLATTERING)
Helena, this is a surprise, but I guess it's fitting.
I hoped I would see you again.
Prison rules.
Only one of us leaves alive.
Mmm. It's happening to you.
(CHUCKLING)
I don't tape.
You will be sorry when I slice your bicep.
(GRUNTS)
(MOBILE PHONE RINGING)
Rudy, what happened?
I went after Alison. I found Helena.
But, Ma, she led me right to the prize.
Get back!
Get that thing out of my face, you little bastard.
Rudy, where are you?
I'm sending you the location right now.
She's on her way.
(GRUNTING)
Not long for you.
(SCREAMING)
You are almost at the end.
(GROANING)
Hold it.
Go, go.
(RUDY GROANS)
You are winding down like toy.
(GUN COCKING)
(GUNSHOT)
Oh. Shit.
-(DOOR OPENING) -(GASPS)
Virginia Coady? I'm Ferdinand.
You won't find what you're looking for here.
(SIGHS)
You did the right thing, Mark.
MARK: Yeah.
Do you remember your childhood?
Every minute.
I remember sleeping,
my brothers breathing in unison.
We'd sleepwalk out of bed,
and all pile in the corner like puppies.
When I was nine, I was made to shoot puppy.
We're just like you, Helena.
-You poisoned women. -We had a purpose.
-Just like you. -No.
You are rapist.
(RUDY BREATHING SHAKILY)
MRS S: Ma?
SARAH: All right. So CASTOR's down and out,
and Ferdinand has Coady.
MRS S: Then as soon as we give him the original samples,
this should be over.
Hey.
As soon as we have a few minutes, why don't we...
We don't we finally chat?
-We three. -SARAH: About what?
About you, love. Right, Ma?
She is your clone sister,
that means her daughter is your niece.
-My niece? -Please, Ma.
Whatever it is you're holding back,
help my daughter understand who she is.
It all goes back to Duncan.
All right.
Five, six years after he harvested me,
Duncan returned.
Admitted what he'd done. Cloned me.
-Now he was in fear of his life. -From who?
Something called Neolution.
He was paranoid. He didn't know who to trust.
He said they'd polluted everything,
poisoned the science, corrupted his wife, Susan.
But he'd hidden me, the source, from everyone.
Even her.
Duncan said there was one child outside it all.
Lost in the foster system.
I sent him to my daughter, the rebel.
You had the connections to hide Duncan from them.
And in return, he steered the lost clone to you.
You put us together.
I couldn't expect forgiveness.
But I wanted you to have her. She's your blood, too.
A little piece of me.
All I had left of my foul life to give.
(SOBBING) Jesus! Ma.
(MOBILE PHONE VIBRATING)
Shit. They're here.
So, we know Rachel flew to Austria
as Krystal Goderich.
She took a car to Innsbruck,
was admitted to a private hospital,
and disappeared.
You'll never understand anything, Delphine,
unless you adjust your frame.
Tell me who you work with.
Turn on the screen.
You won't be disappointed.
Where am I?
Who's keeping me here?
-We were there from the very beginning. -Hello!
Topside pursues its profits,
the military pursues its weapons,
and we steer it all from within.
Neolution.
It's down the stairs, gentlemen, and don't be pricks.
(CHUCKLES)
DELPHINE: Neolution is nothing but pop science.
I did my time with Aldous.
Leekie was a useful face for acceding ideas,
but we run far deeper than that.
We've infiltrated and manoeuvred all the players
in this experiment since day one.
CASTOR and LEDA are our Adam and Eve.
Hello.
Sarah. Siobhan Sadler, I'm such a fan.
Kendall Malone.
You certainly are a woman in demand.
Are you ready?
This will conclude our business.
I assure you, my man will be gentle.
NEALON: Soon, Delphine, Topside will unknowingly
deliver the genome right into our waiting hands.
-To what end? -(CHUCKLES)
Wherever you think the science is at,
I guarantee you're wrong.
I don't believe you.
We have a place for you.
-It's a one-time offer. -(SCOFFS)
You're finished.
-(GRUNTING) -Guards.
Guards?
(GRUNTS)
(CHOKING)
(DELPHINE WHIMPERING)
-(GUNSHOT) -(DELPHINE GASPING)
You won't live till morning.
(GASPING)
There now. That wasn't so bad, was it?
(MOBILE PHONE VIBRATING)
(LINE RINGING)
-SARAH: (OVER PHONE) Yeah. -Sarah?
Sarah.
You cannot give the genetic material to Ferdinand.
-Why not? -Because both LEDA and CASTOR
are run by Neolution.
Look, we're all a part of a larger agenda.
Ferdinand is just a pawn to get them the original genome.
Tell him Rachel is alive, and that Neolution has her.
All right.
-(MOBILE PHONE BEEPS) -Who was that, love?
It was Delphine.
Rachel's still alive.
-Rachel? -She's taken by Neolution.
Delphine says you're just a pawn.
FERDINAND: What are you looking at?
Continue with the swabbing.
SARAH: They haven't just infiltrated LEDA,
they run CASTOR too. Both projects.
Makes sense, huh?
Those genetically obsessed zealots.
I hate Neolutionists.
I hate them.
-I hate them! -(GROANS)
Hate them! Hate them! Hate them!
Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
Neos in CASTOR, Neos in Topside.
Neos right next to me.
We're everywhere.
I knew it!
They're like ticks. You'll never know when you've got one on you.
This changes everything, doesn't it?
(GROANS)
Can't very well hand over your precious genetic material now, can we?
I don't know what the hell's going on.
Which makes us new BFFs.
I assume you have a plan to hide your dear mum.
-I might. -FERDINAND: good.
Far away. I don't need to know where.
But I'll be in touch.
You might want to push off now.
This is, er, not going to be pleasant.
(MAN GROANS)
Oh, stop whining!
(GROANS)
(INDISTINCT TALKING)
MRS S: You okay, chicken?
ALISON: Excuse me. (SING-SONG) Coming through.
Here it is.
-Here we go. -Oh, wow.
-(CHUCKLES) -Everybody! Everybody quiet. This is it. This is the call.
Hello.
Yes. Yes. This is she.
I see.
I... I understand. Thank you.
Fifty-six.
DONNIE: Fifty-six what?
-I beat Marci Coates by 56 votes! -FELIX: Oh, my God!
(ALL CHEERING)
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
-Go, before I call the police. -Shay, please.
I don't need to come in. Just hear me out.
I know what I did was unforgivable,
but I also know that Cosima really cares for you.
And I think...
I think you two fit.
I don't give a damn what you think.
Just know this...
I won't be in your way any more.
But it has to begin with the truth.
I want you to give her these.
And tell her that I said to tell you everything.
If she wants to. It's her decision.
Be good to her.
(BREATH QUIVERING)
(SIGHS) This is so nice.
Our original mother, sestra, is not coming?
She had a bit of a day.
She's resting up for the big trip.
ALISON: I'll be done... Not to have to think about it.
-Sugar, please? -Sugar?
Oh, no, no. None for her.
Oh, yeah. Sorry, monster. (CHUCKLES)
Yeah, because in a chimera,
each cell line influences the phenotype of the whole.
The epigenetic implications themselves are just mind-blowing.
Donnie, you're a civilian,
would you please say something understandable?
The frickin' beef is the bomb.
-Thank you. -(CHUCKLES)
ART: You've been quiet. COSIMA: Even I got that.
Just a few of us missing is all.
To Beth.
I wish I had known her.
To Beth, for giving us all her strength.
ALL: To Beth.
To my sestra and to Kira's little face.
(ALL LAUGHING)
MAN: To Kira, yes.
DONNIE: Who's speechifying next, huh? Who's going?
Honey, why don't you go?
-You're the big winner today. -SARAH: Come on, Alison.
-Let's go. -Give us a few words.
-Go on then. -MRS S: We're so proud of you.
Oh, okay. (GIGGLES) All right.
Erm, I'm all speeched out, but this is from the heart.
I know School Trustee isn't much,
but it's something that we all fought for.
A little victory amidst all the bull...
-...cookie. -(ALL LAUGHING)
Thank you, sestras, for your bravery,
for protecting us, for making us feel normal.
I know that whatever comes next, we'll face it together
as a family.
And to Donnie,
my amazing husband,
for always doing what's best
and standing by me through it all.
FELIX: Aw. COSIMA: Aw.
(MOBILE VIBRATES)
Okay, everybody eat up. Er, enough of this.
(BOTH CHUCKLE)
DONNIE: Sorry. ALISON: That's okay.
-You all right? -Yeah.
Well, save room for the ethnic cake.
-What's it called, Helena? -Babka cake.
-Babka cake?
-What's that? -Some sort of Ukrainian traditional thing.
-Meat bread. Is it a meat-stuffed bread? -Is it meat?
No.
Hey, you came.
Yeah, unfortunately, I can't stay.
Oh, just for a little bit?
No, I'm sorry.
I need you to keep the sequence genome safe
and Kendall Malone far away.
Yeah, I think Mrs S is really good at that stuff, so...
-She's got a plan. -Okay.
I know why you did everything you did.
To Shay and everything.
I'm sorry I made you make those hard choices
and then blame you for them.
(SOBBING)
Oh...
Give your sisters all my love.

She said you're going to be my new mum.
-Who? -Professor Duncan.

Welcome home.

-Monkey! -Mommy! Mommy!
Feet of bloody ice I've got.
Oh, quiet, Mum.

There's someone who wants to meet you.
Who is it?

I just want to look at you.
-Yeah. Okay. -Okay.
