I will kill you before I let you take my daughter!
Our daughter. My daughter.
Happy family.
GUARD: We know you're in communication with ARC.
OK, wait.
- Please, there's been a mistake. - GUNFIRE
What happened to your scalp, sweet?
Oh, what, this?
While you were getting off your head, Candy
I was getting mine bashed in.
These women, criminals
- are becoming your friends. - ASH: But not you.
You're a terrorist.
GRIEVES: You are changing.
I can see you're not ready.
ECHO: Ladies and gents, welcome to Skov.
Let's get that patient some help.
And make sure you wrap her up.
The weather outside's minus ten. Bloody hell.
Why does the pirate feel the need
to give us a running commentary?
Hospital. Now.
Never parked in a back garden before.
Your fam must be loaded.
Oh, this is the lower orchard, actually.
No one'll find us here.
Better not.
Um, put something behind her head.
Put this behind her neck.
What the hell's happened to her?
You sure you can't just give her some of your blood
or the kiss of life or something?
She needs a hospital.
ECHO: Got the directions.
You know, there is a darling little patisserie
if you just turn right.
You can't miss it.
Jesus, she's looking better.
She hasn't opened her eyes for two days
and she's barely got a pulse. She's not exactly on the mend.
She'll be alright with the right treatment.
Yeah, you know that for sure, do you?
Just be quick.
- And keep your eye on the witch. - Yeah.
You don't need to be concerned.
Don't tell me what I need.
I'm the captain. I'm the one taking us to freedom.
You're just my compass.
TULA: Fields of poppies in Arcadia.
- That's what they say. - SHE SIGHS
Far as the eye can see.
"Thou hast the keys of Paradise."
Looks like you've already got 'em.
Orchards, eh?
Always knew you were a princess, Candy, but...
It shouldn't be this cold.
Not this time of year.
Hope everything's alright with my...
with my parents.
I thought you weren't interested in a family reunion.
CANDY SIGHS
I'm not.
Then be a good girl, have another line...
and forget about it.
DREW: It's...
It's beautiful.
Never seen the snow before.
Yeah, me neither.
I, um...
I made you this.
Sorry it's a bit shit.
Look, if you move that, it moves the beak.
Look, Gen, I just want to say that...
all the rest of 'em here, you know, they...
they treat me like shit on the bottom of their shoe.
Just a stupid screw.
But you...
You're the only good thing to come out of this shower of shit
and I just want...

VERONA: Shh, keep your voice down.
Can you at least try not to draw attention to us?
SHE GRUNTS
Find a doctor. I'll wait here.
- Hey, no, I'll go. - No, both of you go.
I'll stay here with Ash.
From the Eastern Quadrant. Our van's outside.
GENEVIEVE: I was helping with the maintenance.
Caught my hair.
I don't know how it happened, Mumma.

Don't you "Mumma" me.
You're no use to me like that.

But it'll happen again, every time you get... excited.
Your aggression node's triggered by your Chastity-Circ.
Looks like it's been there for years.
Chastity-Circ?
It's a nasty bit of kit. I don't see 'em that often.
Old-school bio-tech.
Somebody wants to keep you on a short leash.
I'll whip it out if you want.
- No. - You sure?
DOOR OPENS
Fuck me, Harper. I thought you were a goner.
First a coma and then a kidnap.
- What happened? - You tell me.
Bounty hunters or...
She needs rest.
Hang tight, Harper. That was a lucky escape.
Here.
It's one of Mum's recipes. It's herbal, it's...
probably a placebo, but...
You have family, Harper?
It's just me and my mum.
Me too.

After uni, I...
GRIEVES: Your husband.
Was he part of the Resistance?
PHOEBE: He was a doctor.
Surgeon. Helped my boys run a field hospital.
- You have sons? - Medical students.
All they ever wanted was to help.
Civilian casualties, children.
The Commonworld hung them from our barn.
Made me watch.
Their sacrifice will not be in vain.
Where are the ARC based on Skov now?
They had a bunker in the east, near the university.
Get away from me! SHE YELLS

It's alright. Accidents happen.

This was my little girl's cup.
Lucy.
Hey.
Why do you want to give us money?
It's the right thing to do.
It doesn't make sense.
- You're the head of security. - I feel...
Have always felt that it's wrong
that the traitors' families should be punished too.
That they should suffer from the sins of the father
punished by association.
It's unfair...
that you or your daughter should lose your home.
That you should suffer on top of your grief.
I want to find a way to...
rebalance things.
It's... gotten out of control.
You were involved, what happened with Donnie.
- He was a traitor. - No.
I've known my husband since I was 18 years old.
The good and the bad.
He was weak.
Easily led.
But he was never a traitor.
So whatever reasons you give me...
this is guilt money.
You have blood on your hands, Arch-Marshall.
I hope they kill you too.
Hey, come on.
DOOR OPENS
This is Ash Harper.
Urgent message for Commonworld Security.
This is Arch-Marshall Harper for Dr Lee.
OPERATOR: He's not available. Can I help?
No, I need to speak to him urgently.
I repeat, urgent message for Commonworld Security.
I've got Dr Emma Grieves.
- We're on Skov. - Ash?
- Can you come... - Ash!
What are you doing?
Come on, come inside.
DEVICE BEEPS
- Sir, I need to speak with you. - Yes, I got your message.
There's something I should have told you a long time ago.
But we can't discuss it here.
- Let's go to my office. - Sir.
She's made contact.
Ash?
Is she still with Emma Grieves?
- Affirmative. - Where? Where are they?
Skov.
Closing in on the exact location now, ma'am.
DR LEE: You must be relieved.
What was it you wanted to discuss?
Are you alright, Rebecca?
Yes. Yes, I am now.
VERONA: They're back.
Why did it take so long?
Did you get it fixed?
Yes, Mumma.
Right, enough of this.
Everyone back on the Hemlock.
No one's going anywhere until they've eaten something.
We're getting on the Hemlock and we're...
I haven't shared a meal with my daughter for eight years.
No one is going to stop me now, especially not you.
Thank you.
You OK, sweets?
All fixed?
Let me have a look at ya.
Hey, what's going on with you two?
I've seen the way you look at her.
It's a ballsy move, mate, given the mother.
DREW: Nothing's going on.
I'm kidding myself
if I think anything can happen between me and her.
Well, it's never plain sailing.
Just... keep your head in the game, you'll be alright.
I'm sorry that I never got in touch, Mum.
You couldn't wait to get away from us.
You left, didn't look back.
- It wasn't you. - Then who?
What? What was so terrible?
Please...
- I can't... - Just one message
- to let us know you were alright. - But I wasn't.
I'm not alright.
Haven't been alright for a long time.
After university, I...
never took up my residency at King's.
- Candy. - I never practised as a doctor.
I got mixed up with this crowd
and we'd party, we'd go out, we'd get high
and you know what? It was fun.
It was fun for them, at least.
And you?
I just wanted to forget.
I wanted not to feel anything.
Just to fill this...
this... hole.
- My sweet girl. - No, Mum, I am not sweet.
I'm not, I'm...
- I'm dirty and damaged. - SHE CRIES
I lie.
I steal.
I owed money, Mum.
To a dealer.
And I started smuggling to pay off my debt to her.
And now I'm here.
And I'm still in debt and I'm on the run
and I'll spend the rest of my life
always looking over my shoulder.
And all of...
All of Dad's hard work, all of your sacrifices...
What went before, it's gone.
No one can change that.
You are here, now.
That's all that matters.
You have a remarkable brain, Candy.
And if you can heal other people...
I know that you can heal yourself.
The day they were martyred.
My love...
my boys.
You see...
we all have scars.
You're lucky I'm even allowing you in my home
after what you did to my daughter.
After what I've done?
Your mother's blaming me for your fuck-ups, Candy.
- Not very fair, is it? - Tula.
TULA: See, Phoebe...
you underestimate your daughter.
She's clever.
Got more education than the rest of us put together.
That's your crime.
All her potential, wasted.
She is a doctor, reduced to this because of you.
Nah, nah, nah. She made her own choices.
PHOEBE: And you capitalised on it. You're toxic.
I smelt it from you the moment you stepped into my house.
You are the real poison here.
I pity your daughter.
Fuck it.
Hate deer, anyway.
Come on, we're out of here.
Oh, come on, Tula, can we at least finish our dinner?
Yeah, I agree. This is banging.
CANDY: You know what, Tula? You're right.
I do make my own choices, and I'm making one now.
I'm staying with my mother.
And I too. I'm not leaving Skov.
Fuck's sake.
I cannot go back onto the Hemlock
not when I'm this close to being free.
Those men in the van...
they were ARC comrades sent to rescue me.
TULA: What are you talking about, witch?
It was in my grasp.
My freedom, my only hope.
SHE CRIES
They will not stop until they get what they want from me.
What do they want from you?
ELECTRONICS BEEP
How did you know?
Because it is part of me. I can find it anywhere.
This room, the universe.
I must find my comrades.
If the ARC have me, my power...
The galaxy can be free.

RADIO CHATTER
I will help you, do anything.
My own family is decimated
- but if I can help you... - Mum.
- You don't need to do this. - Oh, my sweet girl.
I know. I know.
All I want is for us to be happy.
But this?
This will help all families.
This will be the most important thing that we ever do.
This way...
they did not die in vain.
TULA: Nah, nah, nah.
You just don't get to swan off to Arcadia with your ARC mates.
- VERONA: Tula, leave her. - No, I won't fucking leave her.
- She doesn't get to leave us. - GRIEVES: Ash...
I want you to stay with me. I know I can't make you, but...
I need you to trust me.

That's why I sent for you.
You and Emma.
So we could be together.
No.

She's supposed to be looking after you.
No. No, no, no.
My men are outside.

You'll be safe and I'll explain everything.
No, you get away from me.

We got confirmation Skov forces are under attack.
- They have sustained casualties. - But what does that mean?
Is the Hemlock still there?
Don't have that information.
I'm sure they're doing everything they can...
I don't care about that.
