I'm Gwendolyn Christie, and

0:02

this is the Calisto protocol, Helix

0:05

station.

0:07

episode five. Old

0:09

ghosts.

0:20

Wrong person. Yeah.

0:24

spill, whatever it was, it was

0:26

a long time ago. It

0:29

doesn't matter how long ago it was.

0:32

The past owns us. We

0:34

can't run from it. If

0:37

it makes you feel better, we're

0:39

probably all gonna die here

0:42

anyway. Might

0:45

as well share those skeletons in the

0:47

closet while still got a chance. Alright.

0:53

But you asked for it.

0:59

A century ago, Helix

1:02

station truly was diamond

1:04

in the dark. and

1:07

one source of life out here in the cold,

1:09

they had black. But

1:11

the UJC kept pushing further and

1:13

further. Terra forming

1:16

the moons. And

1:18

with Europa Station, well,

1:22

Helix have become obsolete. Twenty

1:27

years ago, they sent me here

1:28

to wrangle up the lost hold of resistors.

1:31

See, although the station had been

1:33

slowly decommissioned over the past century,

1:36

it wasn't completely empty. Instead,

1:40

it'd become a safe home for those looking

1:42

to get off the grid, you

1:44

know. anti establishment

1:46

types, those

1:48

who have finally

1:49

become disillusioned with the false promises

1:51

of the UJC.

1:53

Helix and become a desert

1:55

island.

1:56

Maybe no longer the diamond in the dark,

1:59

but for some,

1:59

it was a flicker of

2:02

something. To

2:03

some, it meant hope. To

2:06

others, it just meant survival. A

2:09

way to live out their years.

2:17

UJC sent me here to change that

2:19

narrative. they wanted everyone

2:22

off, playing by their rules

2:24

once and for all.

2:26

Everything

2:45

is going to plan. We

2:47

started evacuating the squatters at the outer

2:49

shell and worked our way inward, in

2:52

towards the belly of the inner

2:54

ring. We don't unidentify

2:56

passengers and get results and

2:58

provide identification. Two

3:00

lines are They

3:04

will mostly civilians.

3:05

Little communities in

3:07

different pockets of the station. Somewhere

3:10

descendants

3:10

from the beginning of this. Let me hear

3:12

a few ones. Even the

3:15

nefarious types of grown tame from their years

3:17

in isolation

3:18

that is all

3:20

but one. Has

3:22

anyone seen this woman? Well,

3:25

everyone please examine this one

3:27

in this holograms, she's worth a

3:29

big chunk of change. If

3:32

anyone has a depth as a bedroom hall with

3:34

your name on it, she should be considered

3:36

armed and dangerous. Carol

3:40

Keller,

3:42

an eco terrorist, radicalized

3:44

on fire. Carol had

3:47

come to Helix with one goal, blow

3:49

the carpenter drive to smithereens, create

3:52

a little chaos, show that you

3:55

JC. She was beyond their control.

3:57

Just

3:59

like the

3:59

outer way to cook up something crazy

4:02

like that.

4:03

No. Carol wasn't out of way. That's

4:06

what the UJC

4:07

wanted folks to believe. Carol was

4:09

a bloodthirsty psychopath working

4:11

all on her own. She

4:13

came to Helix because it'll voice inside her

4:15

head told her to send a message

4:17

from out here in the peasy

4:20

all the way back to Earth. And

4:22

she wasn't about to let some UJC

4:24

skip tracer get in a way and stop per.

4:30

As the freeloaders were being transported

4:32

off Helix onto exit ships.

4:35

I

4:35

tracked Carol down into the reactor.

4:39

She had acquired some

4:40

hostile bridges.

4:42

Snagged a young mother from

4:44

the evacuation line struck some

4:47

explosives to her kids.

4:53

I remember the look in those kids' eyes.

4:56

The terror

4:58

have gagged.

5:01

hand cuff together.

5:02

These

5:06

let it go. Just hit me.

5:09

I'll do what you want.

5:11

She rigged explosives to the children

5:13

and set them to blow.

5:15

He kids. I just

5:18

want you to know. If

5:19

mom doesn't comply, we

5:21

all go bye bye.

5:26

Mommie's gonna follow orders, isn't

5:28

she? Isn't she? Yes.

5:30

I'll do

5:30

whatever you want. Just these

5:34

don't hurt them.

5:35

The interior reactor

5:37

to the carpenter drive is protected by a

5:39

dual control combination lock.

5:42

Carole can

5:42

open the blastoise alone.

5:44

She needed someone

5:46

to unlock them simultaneously.

5:51

321

5:55

turn.

5:59

When I found

6:02

them, they

6:03

were already inside the reactor.

6:05

I

6:10

did what you've said. Please let them go.

6:16

Carol was strapping explosives to

6:18

the Carpenter Drive. We're

6:26

all about to become a legend. Carokella,

6:31

step away

6:32

from the drive. It's all over. This

6:37

is what UJC sent after me,

6:40

an errand girl Are

6:42

you ready for Martha them? Please put

6:44

the gun down. She's about to

6:46

change the reactor. She'll

6:48

kill them. Carol you're not listening.

6:51

It's simple.

6:51

Back out before I shoot. Trust

6:53

me. I don't miss. Shoot me

6:56

and the kids go boom.

6:57

Please Carol What are

6:59

you

7:00

doing?

7:02

Her face keeping, Carol,

7:05

spread that key out your mouth all the

7:07

way.

7:08

The lunatic swallowed the king. That

7:10

was dumb, Carol. Real dumb.

7:15

Sure it's going to be tough to get those

7:17

kids handcuffs off now. Why

7:20

are you doing all this Carol? No one

7:22

cares about the shit hole of a station.

7:25

Earth was our one true

7:28

home. Like, what did

7:30

we do? We killed

7:32

her. I'm not going to ask you again.

7:35

Step away from the drive.

7:37

We have a

7:38

responsibility.

7:40

Life comes and goes. The

7:43

nature of things. Well,

7:45

that's what lives

7:46

forever. The past, the

7:48

messages sent from the

7:49

present to the future and and

7:52

to send a message.

7:54

All I have to do

7:56

is push This little

7:59

house.

8:01

Two lines, everyone. Please line up

8:03

in an order. I

8:10

shot her,

8:12

but it was too late.

8:13

She managed to set one off. one

8:16

clicked to send as many messages as she could.

8:21

The cloud of corpses. Bingo.

8:24

Carol had planted a few ups sayers too.

8:27

She blew a massive hole into

8:29

the outer shell right

8:31

along the evacuation line.

8:33

shot those in the north sector

8:35

out into the frozen dark.

8:41

She

8:44

blown the heat regulator. We only

8:46

have minutes before the reactor

8:47

would turn into an inferno. What did you

8:49

do? I couldn't stop reactor

8:52

from going critical. But

8:53

if I could remove the explosives from the carpenter

8:56

drive, I could stop the station from blowing

8:58

to help.

8:59

You need to get out of him. I'm

9:01

not leaving my kids.

9:02

Oh god. Please do

9:05

need to help me.

9:07

you better start cutting. What?

9:09

I need to get these bombs

9:11

out of this reactor and

9:12

beyond those blast doors or everyone

9:14

on the station is dead.

9:16

You want save your kids, take this knife

9:18

and dig that key out of Carol's.

9:22

Cut her open.

9:26

We have less than two minutes. Yeah.

9:29

Okay.

9:30

I moved as fast as I could. removing

9:33

the explosives and throwing them to the blast

9:35

doors into the observation

9:36

room. Okay. Just do

9:38

it. Just

9:46

As I ripped down the bones, I couldn't

9:48

help but watch that mother, cutting

9:51

Carol into ribbons. I

9:54

saw something criminal in her, instinctive.

9:58

Some you only see in the wild.

9:59

I love it there, clawing

10:02

away, thrashing,

10:04

saber cubs.

10:07

You've

10:11

got about a minute.

10:16

I can't find it. Are

10:19

you sure she swallowed it? She swallowed

10:21

it. The room

10:23

was a hundred

10:24

and ninety degrees and climbing, but

10:26

she was determined to save them. She

10:29

reached her arm down Carol's throat searching

10:31

for came.

10:32

I

10:41

got the last bomb. Hurry the hat up.

10:44

Just wait. I need to

10:45

close these glass doors now.

10:47

Please another minute. We don't have

10:49

another minute. It's time to go. No.

10:51

I am not leaving up.

10:55

She

10:55

made her choice, and

10:57

I made mine.

10:59

I closed the glass doors,

11:01

knocking them all right. I

11:03

got it. I found the king.

11:05

She had done it.

11:07

She found it. And

11:09

she had freed them from their cuffs.

11:12

There

11:16

was nothing I could do. I

11:19

couldn't open the dual locks.

11:20

I'm

11:24

sorry. I can't open

11:26

the door. with

11:37

the

11:37

temperature climb to five hundred degrees.

11:39

They tend to fire

11:42

and watch them through the window as

11:45

they burn to life.

11:50

Percy, it's empty.

11:55

It's

11:57

okay, Percy.

12:01

I could have waited another minute.

12:04

You couldn't have known that.

12:06

If I'd waited, they'd still be

12:08

alive.

12:09

You did what

12:11

you thought was right in the moment, and

12:13

that's what you're gonna do now.

12:18

I was

12:19

lost one out of the inner ring before the evacuation.

12:23

Those explosives should be down there.

12:25

We use them. You

12:29

think it's possible.

12:31

Carl Calla thought it was enough firepower to blow

12:33

the re sector.

12:34

It should work.

12:36

The time has come for this place. Everyone

12:39

who has come into contact with Helix has suffered.

12:42

The people who lived here, to

12:44

Naka, Kain, my

12:47

father, everyone.

12:49

We all pay a price to come aboard

12:51

this station. Helix

12:53

is a vacuum. It doesn't give.

12:56

It only takes When

12:58

do we get down there? There's no way I'm

13:00

going alone bullshit. I'll

13:02

drag myself down there if I have to.

13:04

I don't need another cripple slowing me

13:06

down. watch it, Percy. No.

13:08

You watch it. Me and Helix have

13:11

unfinished

13:11

business, and it ends today.

13:14

I'll get you to the command center. You

13:16

can be my eyes and ears as I ventured

13:18

down to the inner ring. Keep an eye out

13:20

for Metzka.

13:21

The door only opens with the

13:23

combination keys. Remember? You

13:26

need me. I'll grab one of those gumbas

13:28

on the way down.

13:29

They can suck on the barrel of my gun if they

13:31

don't know what's good for them.

13:33

I'll go.

13:34

No. It's too dangerous. You stay

13:36

with him.

13:37

I want to help Those comers

13:39

probably have goop for brains. I wouldn't trust

13:41

them to understand left from right. Never

13:43

mind. Those combination locks. Come on.

13:45

I can do this. I can fly us

13:47

out. the second YouTube make it back.

13:50

Juniper,

13:51

stay behind me

13:53

at all times

13:55

and you see anything

13:57

you run. Okay.

13:59

Alright then. Come

14:02

on, center

14:03

it is.

14:20

Brandon Gosh, you could set up here.

14:22

Looks like a mess to me. you

14:24

think it's still operational?

14:31

Bingo. Alright.

14:32

See if we can get the p a up and running. Use

14:34

the loudspeakers to warn the gummies. Let

14:36

them know

14:37

we're evacuating. And

14:39

if they want to survive, they better be on the Black

14:41

Iron ship in thirty minutes. Okay.

14:43

Alright.

14:45

Put this headset on. Can

14:48

you hear me? Loud and clear.

14:50

Okay. Switch them off to We need them. Who knows

14:52

how much juice has still got? Okay.

14:55

You're

14:56

going to be our eyes. You see anything

14:58

on these screens?

14:59

Anything nearest, Metska or anything

15:01

that slithers or rows or lights?

15:04

You hola. Yeah. Please

15:06

do. You got it.

15:08

Hey, Percy. Take

15:11

these.

15:13

You need these bullets more than I do. But,

15:15

yeah, don't worry. I'll

15:18

hang on to one round just in case

15:23

Hey. Good luck out there. Yeah. You

15:26

too kid. Now

15:28

let's put this whole bitch out of a

15:30

misery.

15:31

Yeah.

15:33

Come

15:43

on. Whoa. Damn it.

15:48

Percy's

15:54

stop.

15:55

You're out.

15:56

I

15:58

know. It's

15:59

going to be okay. Come

16:01

on.

16:06

This

16:09

thing on here.

16:16

This is the worst

16:17

anyone's still present on two lines.

16:19

The last flight from the station is

16:37

Percy. Percy, can

16:39

you hear me? These headsets are

16:41

junk. Percy.

16:42

Percy, come

16:44

in. Percy, come in.

16:50

I feel

16:51

like we've been walking forever. Are we getting

16:54

close?

16:54

I think so.

16:57

Starting to feel a little woozy. No

17:00

surprise. It's radiation levels are

17:02

insane. Is it safe?

17:04

In the long run, no. You

17:07

should

17:07

take an extra idea we

17:09

need to move faster.

17:10

Okay. Ursa,

17:15

can you hear me? Yeah.

17:18

How

17:18

are we doing on visuals? Any

17:20

sign of Mesca?

17:21

It's weird. I'm not seeing any

17:23

movement out there. No Mesca, outcomes,

17:25

nothing. Trust me. Everyone's

17:29

still here. We're just

17:31

lurking in the shadows. Look at

17:33

my eyes peeled.

17:36

Hold up. I

17:39

think I'm lost. Remind

17:41

me Which way is it to the drive?

17:44

Alright. Give me one second. Let

17:46

me bring up the map.

17:51

Okay. So you're at the inner ring.

17:53

Looks like if you had left down that corridor,

17:55

it should eventually bring you down into the reactor

17:58

observation room. Okay.

18:01

Yes. Come back to me. Alright.

18:04

Thanks. I'm starting to remember

18:06

now. Wait

18:09

a minute.

18:12

What the hell? What's

18:14

up? Something's

18:16

stepping on the air vents.

18:18

Let

18:20

me take a look. Careful

18:22

friend of the coast.

18:24

It

18:26

sounds like you're developing a soft spot for

18:28

me.

18:29

Yeah. Well, after we get out of here, you

18:31

could take me dancing. too

18:34

soon, junky. Under

18:39

Gust. Which is it?

18:43

That's tight. Tight.

18:47

Shit. We lost connection. What

18:49

are we going to do now? Nothing

18:51

we can do to change a thing.

18:53

You'll just have to manage

18:56

We

19:01

hear. We made it.

19:03

The explosives are

19:05

as good as you know. Now

19:07

we need to time those combination locks

19:09

perfectly. A whole place will go into

19:11

lockdown.

19:12

Okay. Oh.
