The Survivor

Prisoner3759, James A. ,,

colonial surgeon from the Frenchspeaking colony of Eurasia,

you have been tried by the Allied Federal Court

and have been found guilty.

The punishment for this crimeis life without the possibility

of parole.

By action of the conveningauthority in the matter

hearing this crime, such sentence,

having been unanimously approved and confirmed

by this court, and nopardon or clemency granted,

it is now my solemn duty tocarry out the punishment.

Have you any last words before sentence is carried out?

Hello?

Hello?

Parlez vous anglais?

Fuck yourself.

Proceed.

Warning, outer lock open.

Stand clear.

Release in 7 seconds.

I cannot stress enough theseverity of the situation.

Tension is running dangerously high here.

The conference hasn't even started yet,

President Bradford, and theout-world colonial delegation

has everyone in an uproar.

They're threatening all out warif their demands aren't met.

These truculent threats are just a brazen show.

They want everyone to believethere's still a warrior

race, Vikings in space.

The key is to grant them somesmall concessions that allow

them to retreat with honor.

You'll leave that to me.

But there's talk thatyour policies are too weak,

that you haven't been firm enough

with the imperial parliament.

They're saying you're sick andtoo ill to attend, or rule.

I have spent 10 years nailingdown peace in the Federation.

I will not allow a bunch ofrenegades to sabotage it.

I will be there in two days in plenty

of time for the conference.

You just keep a lid on things till I get there.

I'll do my best.

I'm counting on you.

Bradford, out.

This situation could get out of hand,

we could be facing a damned Holocaust.

I just hope I stall theambassador until we get there.

He bought it.

I hope so.

I look terrible.

No, you look great--

for a hologram.

Once I get over this, whatever the hell it is,

I better get a new one digitized.

Even I could tell it wasn't me.

I'm not sure I trust these doctors of yours.

Ah, it's because you're paranoid.

Only way you're concerned.

And don't think I don't appreciate it.

Do you have that report on fleet readiness?

It's in my quarters.

All right.

Then, let's take a look at it, just in case

those callers start bluffing.

Gramps, gramps!

Hey.

Hey, buddy.

Why-- how are you doing?

I've been practicing this new card trick.

Well, come on, show me, how?

O'Shack taught it to me.

Yeah?

Pick one.

Just take a card?

Yeah.

All right.

OK.

Now, I need you to hold my handand think hard about that card.

All right.

Are you thinking?

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

I'm-- I'm thinking.

I'm thinking.

All right.

I'm beginning to see it.

It's-- it's the queen of clubs.

Oh, dear.

Well, uh, you were close.

Oh, man.

Well, maybe a little more practice, huh?

Maybe.

Well, I hope your schoolworkis coming along as well, huh?

Ask Devin.

Well, sir, it seems he's developed

an allergic reaction to math.

Well, we had better hopes foryou than a life of petty crime.

Grandpa.

Yeah?

Will I ever have a dad?

Well, you know, buddy,sometimes things don't work

out the way we'd like them to.

Well, sometimes we have alot of people around us--

I'll take that as a no.

Sir, it's time for--

It's getting late, Daniel.

Time for us to be going.

Night, grandpa.

Yeah.

Good night, pal.

Why doesn't gramps wantme to know that he's sick?

I can handle that.

Well, you're a prettysmart kid, you know that?

Smart enough to know thatyou think I'm going to bed.

But I'm not going.

Oh, is that right?

Daniel.

Daniel.

All personnel, please

report to emergency stations.

Daniel!

Sir, it's time to go to the life pod.

- What about Daniel? - Don't worry.

He'll be taken care of.

What's going?

Someone set the alarm in engineering.

Commencingemergency evacuation procedure.

Daniel!

There you are.

Come on!

Come on, leave them.

Leave them.

Depressurization warning,

life pod release in 60 seconds.

Daniel-- where--

I believe they're fine, Mr. President.

Prepare for emergency pod drop.

Impact in 45 seconds.

, grenades.

Got it. Flare.

Yes, sir.

Take your seats.

Cover up!

He's going to need his medicine.

So when we land, you find him.

But first we gotta get there.

You're hurting me.

Deal with it.

30 seconds.

There's a planet beneath us.

It's Earth.

Who could've done this?

Who could have done this?

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

Oh, God!

Oh, no.

Oh, no. - O'Shack.

Oh, no, no.

O'Shack.

Where the hell are we?

Earth-- what's left of it.

It's where everythingstarted and almost ended.

About 50 years ago, they converted it

into a penal colony, butlater they gave up on that.

And now?

No one's really sure.

Doesn't look so bad.

Looks can be deceiving, captain.

Oxygen content is dangerously low.

There's little, if any, atmosphere

protection against solar radiation,

toxin levels are off the scale.

God only knows what lives in these jungles.

I'd say we're in a world of trouble.

O'Shack, come on.

We're going to be OK, right?

Yeah.

Yeah.

We need to find Bradford's pod, fast.

When his locator signal is weak,

it's going to be hard to pinpoint him.

How do we find him?

We do it the old fashionedway, we go looking.

All right. Let's go.

Let's move out.

What happens if Bradforddoesn't get his medication?

In 4 hours he'll probably be nauseous,

in 6 he'll start to tremble, in24 he'll be lucky to be alive.

Come in, escape pod one.

Escape pod one, are you out there?

Escape pod one, do you read me?

They're all dead.

Are you all right, sir?

You're going to be fine, son.

You're going to be just fine.

I'm OK.

Look, let's get them off the ship immediately.

Come on, son.

Check the perimeter.

Make sure we're secure.
