I woke up here, too. I didn't realizethere were others. [RETCHES] Where the hell are we? This must be some kind ofwake-up facility, right? To prepare us for the planet. So we're there? We're on Thea? They said we'd openour eyes there. Then, we just needto find the exit. We're not on a planet. What? I don't know why we woke up, but we're still in deep space. WOMAN 1: We can't be. What'd he just say? MAN: I think we're ona transport ship. The

<i> Origin.</i> 

MAN 2: What? That's impossible. WOMAN 2: What arewe supposed to do? Something must have gone wrong. All right,all right, all right. Look, none of us knowwhat the situation is. It wasn't meant to be this. MAN 1: [IN JAPANESE] MAN 2: [IN JAPANESE] [MAN 2 SPEAKING] [MAN 1 SPEAKING] [DEVICE BEEPING] [IN ENGLISH]We can switch to Englishif you're that paranoid. There's a way out. What? I know you're trapped. No one leaves the Yagami-kai without signingtheir own death warrant. Did it ever occur to you that I actuallychose this life? What if you could choose again? What if you could gosomewhere so farfrom all this, you barely rememberyou were part of it. What are youtalking about, Takeshi? It's called the Thea Project. Fuck.

Only one way to find out. You out of yourgoddamn mind? You want usto climb that thing? We can't evensee the bottom. I'm not gettingon that ladder.

 MAN 1: You don't have to. One person can make the journey and alert whoever they find. Best of luck! The next platform's not far. We can make it. All right.The three of us will go. It's gonna be okay.We will find help. Be careful. After me? Hey, what's your name? Lana. I'm Shun. [LANA PANTING] [EXHALES] LANA: Hello? Hello? [WIND HOWLING] Do you have to do that? I'm sorry. The tapping. The tapping,it's driving me crazy.

 MAN 3: Hey! We're all frightened. Yeah, but I'm doing it quietly. Excellent. Start an argument. That'll makethe time go faster. You know what? I didn't askyour opinion. LANA: This doesn't makeany sense. There's supposed to behundreds of us. Where is everybody? I say we tryand get to the top. If there is a bridge,that's where it'll be. I was in the Navy. Ship's still a ship, right? 

MAN 1: Excuse me. [IN ENGLISH] Wanker. [THUDS] Hey. What do you think this does? Looks like somethingyou press in an emergency. We only know if we try. Wait. We have no ideawhat that does. Yeah, but we're stuckin fucking no-man's-land. The crew aren't coming. I say we push it. I'm not sure about this. All right, all in favor? Yeah. That's four against four. I think we should wait... [ALARM SOUNDING] What the hell's going on? Jesus Christ. Go, go, go! Climb! Oh, no! Go, go, go, go! [ALL PANTING] LANA: Come on. Come on! Please... [SCREAMING] No! [SCREAMING] [ALL GASP] [THUDS] [CRYING] WOMAN:[ON ELEVATOR PA]<i> Ring four.</i> We didn't knowthat was gonna happen. We thought they weregetting help, right? We shouldn't have pressed it. I can't breathe. I... It's our fault. [HYPERVENTILATING] Look at me. Give me your hand. We didn't even know his name. 

MAN 2: Can you feel the pulse? Yeah. I want youto count the beats. One... [PANTING] two, three... [STAMMERING] Thank you. Come on, let's find the crew. What? You want himto have died for nothing? LANA: We should havedone something. [SOBS] We should havehelped him. We need to go. What is wrong with you? Why aren't you terrified? What is this? I need you to see something. Just putthe fucking glasses on. Welcome to Thea, Mr. Kenzaki. Who are you? My name is Xavia Grey. I'm head ofthe SIREN corporation, and founder ofthe Thea Project. Would you like this experience in English or Japanese? English is fine. GREY:<i> As you know,</i>Thea exists in<i> the Nexus constellation,</i> situated five light yearsfrom Earth. Thea is the only planetwe've discovered thus far that can sustain human life. We at SIREN arecurrently in the processof its colonization. It is our intention to createa base for millions. Perhaps one day, even billions. 

As our colony expands, we require a constantinflux of workers to create an infrastructure. An opportunitywe would like to offer to you. You want me to build houses? I want you to be a partof the most important project in our species history. And you'll be givensomething in return. SHUN:<i> What's that?</i> We refer to itas tabula rasa. A blank slate. When you depart Earth for Thea, we'll eraseyour past completely. We're giving you the chanceto really start afresh. You don't keep recordsof who we are? This is a new world,Mr. Kenzaki. <i> A world without fetters.</i> A world without judgment. A world where your historyno longer has any relevance. Here, you havethe opportunity to become whatever you want to be. It can't be that easy. We're five light yearsfrom Earth. Who's going to stop us? This concludes yourintroductory experienceof the Thea Project. I hope you'll considerjoining our mission. 

Wait, wait, wait. [SIGHS] [LOUD TRAFFIC AND HONKING] [MUSIC PLAYING] SHUN: "Perfect harmony.Blank slate." [IN JAPANESE] [IN ENGLISH]People are up there.Living new lives. Leaving everything else behind. Would you pleasestop assuming that's something I want? Mom would have skinned meif she'd been there to see how I let you drift. You didn't let medo anything. The truth is,I was ashamed to have a brotherwho was<i> yakuza.</i> I'm not yoursto save, brother. 

No, I... I get that. I should have told youa long time ago. Told me what? That you'rebetter than this. I'm sorry it's...coming so late. Why now, hmm? Fine. Keep your secrets, but you have to answer this. Why aren't you signing up? What? I've seen whatyour life is. Your job iseverything to you. The other officersstill treat you like you don't deserveto be there. Every night you go hometo your empty apartment, lament to your fuckin' dog. See, I get why you thinkI should sign up. Leave behind all this shitthat I'm entrenched in here. Discover who I could be. What I don't get is what's so damn precious that you wouldn't do the same? Are you saying you're in? Oh, I'm in. On the dayyou say you are, too. [EXHALES] Is that... Blood. LANA: There's no crew. No crew. It's cold. [LOUD THUDDING] I think that was a solar sail. Something must havedamaged it. 

What the hell happenedon this ship? [DOOR OPENS] [GASPS] Oh, my God. How did you guysget up here? There was a shuttle. It must have beenreactivated when... He nearly made it. [SIGHS] Fuck me. Have you seenanyone at all? Jesus fucking Christ! That's just great! I mean, what the fuckare we supposed to do now? We've got nothing to eat. We've got no food,no water. There's no waythey've just left us here. [DISTORTED SCREECHING] MAN: What the fuck is that? What did you just do? [STRANGE STATIC] [GASPS] Jesus! What was that? [STATIC] [MAN GRUNTS ON RADIO] Is somebody there? [SATIC AND BEEPING] MAN: [ON RADIO]<i> Hello? Hello?</i> Who is this? MAN: [STAMMERING ON RADIO]

<i> I'm one of the... crew. Crew.</i> We're at the top of the ship. [STATIC] MAN: [ON RADIO]<i> Please...</i> <i> Please...</i> [YELPING] Can you hear us? MAN: [ON RADIO]<i> I'm in Cell 50.</i> <i> Fifty.</i> <i> In the lowest ring.</i> [MAN SCREAMING] [STATIC] What the fuck was that? He sounded terrified. Cell 50. He saidhe was in Cell 50. We need to find him. [STAMMERING] No, no. There's no fucking waywe're leaving this room. He needs help. You want to gosniff around this ship after what happenedon that ladder? SHUN: He'll have answers. He said he was crew. I say we go. Does anyone havemedical training? In case he's hurt. Good. We'll take the radio. Why do youget the radio, huh? I mean, there'smore of us in here. We're the ones goingto find the guy. I sure as helldidn't ask you to. We might need it. 

Fine. I hope you make it back. Wait. Are you reallygoing down there? I'm coming with you. We don't know if it's safe. You helped me. Now, I'm helping you. LANA: Hello? Are you still there? There's nothingyou could have done. I left everything behind thinking I could becomeso much better, but someone's already dead. I don't know if peoplecan just... become better. Then why are you here? [SINGING JAPANESE POP SONG] [IN JAPANESE] [DEVICE BEEPING] [IN JAPANESE]Takumura-chan, well. [PUNCHING SOUNDS] [PUNCHING CONTINUES] [ALARM SOUNDING] [INDISTINCT SHOUTING] [DEVICE BEEPING] [IN ENGLISH]You said you were inif I came, too. I want to go to Thea together. What convinced you? Are you hearingwhat I'm saying? I've got commitments here, so do you. Leave them. I will. We can get awayfrom this place tonight. Tonight? It has to be. They're coming for you now. [INDISTINCT SHOUTS] Please, just get out. Where do I meet you? TAKESHI: [ON PHONE]<i> Tokyo Central, two hours.</i> [ALARM SOUNDING] I meant what I said. TAKESHI: [ON PHONE]<i> About you.</i> SHUN: [ON PHONE]<i> Takeshi,</i> I'm sorry. For everything. Make it up to me on Thea. WOMAN: [ON PA]<i> Access granted.</i> MAN: What is that? What are you doing? 

Figuring out how it works. Maybe... No! How do you knowhow to do this? Define "this." Not too many peoplecould just work their way around a spaceship's computerlike it's a game console. A computer is a computer.It's like reading music. You might get a pieceyou've never seen before, but soon chords startmaking sense to you. Evacuation. What? There wasan emergency evacuation. Life rafts havedeparted the ship. The crew,the other passengers, they left without us. What? WOMAN: [on PA]<i> Ring ten.</i> [ELECTRICITY BUZZING] [MUFFLED SCREAM] SHUN: Is anyone here? LANA: Hello? [GASPS] [WHIMPERING] LANA: She's crew. "Evelyn Rey."

 She's alive. But she's in a bad way. WOMAN: Someone did thatto her, right? She's been attacked? We don't know that. SHUN: Gun's been used. Bullet's missing. MAN: Evelyn,can you hear me? [MUFFLED SCREAMING] [MUFFLED] Shit! I can't see anything. What are you doing? The blood leads here. There's someone inside. The entire ship's empty. This one door is sealed shut. You don't find thata little fucking suspicious? The man on the radioasked for our help. I'm just tryingto keep us safe. Really? Okay, what if it wasyou in there? [IN JAPANESE] [DEVICE BEEPING] [MAN SPEAKINGJAPANESE ON PHONE] [GROANING] [IN ENGLISH]Get up. What? Come on! How did you know I was here? I tapped your GPS ages ago. SHUN: Asshole. Why are you doing this? TAKESHI: You're my brother. I tried to save youand you betrayed me. I was readyto start over with you. [SHUN GROANING] It's who I am. [BOTH GRUNTING] [IN JAPANESE] [IN ENGLISH] No, no! Takeshi! Takeshi! [SOBBING] [SHOUTING IN JAPANESE] [HIDETO SPEAKING] [PANTING] [IN ENGLISH] Okay, fine.Give me the gun. I'll do it alone. All right.We go in together. MAN: We'll stay with her. Let's try tomake her comfortable. 

[SHUN SIGHS] Shun. [LANA RETCHING] WOMAN: Do you thinkwe're being punished? What? All that stuff SIREN told us. The new beginning. A chance to eraseeverything that came before. But we woke up to this. What if we're in hell? I don't believe in hell. [GASPS] Evelyn, Evelyn? REY: [IN FRENCH] It's okay. What? REY:[IN ENGLISH] The door. You haven't opened the door... We heard someone inside. You can't go in there. REY: You can't go in there! LANA: Oh, Jesus! [SHUN RETCHING] [SHUN COUGHING] [BOTH GASPING] LANA: 

What is that? SHUN: [COUGHS]Do you hear something? Shit! What the fuckhappened here? Something hit the ship. That's whythe solar sails are torn. [MAN SCREAMING] Are you okay? He's SIREN. Hey, can you hear me? Hey? Hello? What? What? [MAN SCREAMING]Get out! Get out! Hold him still. [MAN SCREAMING] SHUN: Hold him still. LANA: What's wrong with him? MAN: Get off! [MAN SCREAMING] LANA: What's happening? [BONES CRACKING] What the hell is happening? [WHISPERING INAUDIBLY] [MAN STAMMERING]It's... It's... It's... It's... What? MAN: Inside. What? It's... inside. [EXHALES] [MAN GASPS] We need to get out of here. Come on! MAN: Help me. We're nine days from Thea. Are we gonna make it? REY:<i> Something came on board.</i> SHUN:<i> We need to get out of this cell.</i> LANA:<i> There's somethingwrong with him.</i> Please don'tmake me do this.
