[Oh, what are you doing?]

I don't... belong here.

[But... where will you go?]

To my sestra. You're a good girl, Grace. But if you don't want to have my babies, don't have my babies.

[I would never do that. (Gracie starts getting boots on too.) I'm coming with you. This way, it's faster.]

[You disappoint me, daughter. Go back to your beds.]

[No, father.]

[We trusted you to counsel her, to help her embrace her purpose.]

I am not afraid of you.

[Neither am I. Mother's gone out west to find more broodmares. Both of you can go to hell.]

(He knocks Helena out then drags Gracie to a cage.) [Oh Gracie, what would your mother say?]

[No, no! I hate you, I hate you!]

...

[Helena is a miracle, Mark. She defies the laws of science. It is a sign I cannot ignore.]

[You're not locking Gracie up anymore.]

(Helena attacks him, subduing him.)

Go, run! Run!

--

[Helena, Helena what are you doing?]

Why do you sound so scared?

[Helena, we saved you.]

Mmmmm...

[Helena, I am the father of your children. They are going to need me when they get older.]

Daddy, how do they make babies? Would you like... horse baby? Cow baby? Is this how you do it?

[You've made your point. This isn't funny.]

Do I look like I am trying to be funny?

[Helena, Helena... Don't do this.]

Ah, no... (and then she shoves the thing in his butt and laughs like a crazy person before setting the farm on fire presumably. :|)

--

[Well, I can tell you I just came home to find someone at my table.]

[What do you mean? Who?]

[She's eating.]

Hello sestra brother. I want to see Sarah.

[Holy shit. Helena's back.]

--

I fell in love with a boy called Jesse. But after bar fighting he had to go to war and become a tow truck driver.

[Look, there was a fire at the Johansen ranch last night. Do you know anything about that.]

No.

[Helena. Did you burn down the fish people's ranch?]

No. (cheeky fucking smile) When do I see Sarah?

[Soon. She said that Kira can't wait to see you.]

After my heart was broken, I became roommates to a very good girl.

[Okay. So tell me about that.]

She had a crisis of faith.

--

[Listen, I don't know if this is a good idea or not because it's crazy, but Art has someone downstairs who really wants to meet her sisters.]

[Helena. This is your sister, Cosima.]

[Hey!]

You should not be up.

[I'm up. Come here. (hug :>>>>) You're very beautiful.]

Thank you. I like your hairs.

[Oh thanks! I like your hairs too.]

[Helena, this is your other sister, Alison.]

[Hello, Helena. Lovely to meet you.]

Pleased to meet you too. You are married?

[Yes. Oh yes, very much so. To Donny.]

I will be married too, one day.

[Well, it's very rewarding if you can get through the rough patches.]

[Auntie Helena! (more hugs c:) We thought you ran away from us.]

I came back to see your little face. I am so happy to see you I am going to eat your finger. (lolol pretend chomping)

(CLONE DANCE PARTY)

--

(then she gets kidnapped and i cry forever)

("Wouldn't it be nice" in Ukrainian??) [Oi, meathead, I don't think those are gonna fit.]

They are very little.

[-Maybe you can wear them on your fingers.
-They're not for her, silly! Helena's going to have a little monkey, too!]

Monkey number two.

[-Felix, that ox liver smells fantastic!
-Doesn't it? It's our sestra's favorite. Marinated in horilka all day.
-Mm, that'll go perfectly with these.
-Are you going to say thank you?]

Thank you, sestra Alison.

[-Oh, heavens, just a few things I've made. This is your special day, Helena, you and your precious cargo.
-Dude, you look awesome.]

You look awesome also, sestra. You are well?

[Oh, yeah, I'm, like, way better thanks to science. Check it out!]

Babka cake.

[Mm-hmm.]

Kielbasa.

[Go ahead, dig in, you're eating for two now.]

(aaaand then the dream turns into a nightmate)

[Relax, Helena. You remember me, don't you?]

Yes, Pupok. It's been a long time.

[You're being tested again. And this time you're carrying a child.]

It's hot here. I can taste sand. They took me from my sestras.

[No one said it was going to be easy, kiddo.]

--

My legs hurt.

[-Picture a box, inside a box inside a box.
-She's been in almost 48 hours.
- All right. In you go.
-Congratulations, you escaped the first box.]

--

[-Go. (Helena gets waterboarded :CCCCCC)
-Now.
-Go.
-Go again. (Helena gets some more :CCCCCC)
-Stop! Stop. Stop the stress tests.
-We've got two more cycles to run.
-She's pregnant. Blood work results. (Helena gasping) Just be still. You're going to feel the water rattle around in there for a while. Helena, I'm Doctor Virginia Coady. I know it doesn't seem like it, but I'm very happy to meet you.]

--

[-All mangoes are golden. Nothing golden is cheap. Conclusion--
-Did he say mangoes?
-All mangoes are cheap. Is that a sound conclusion, based on those statements?
-We like mangoes.
-Please concentrate. All mangoes are cheap. True or false.
-Where are these mangoes?]

Where are these mangoes?

[Do I have to explain the exercise again?]

I would like to see these mangoes.

[The doctor asked a question.]

I met your brother. He's ugly.

[-Okay. That's enough.
-Keep provoking them, we'll never get any mangoes.]

Silence, insect!

[Helena. Let's walk.I will say this about the place: the air is good at night, and I can smoke where I want. You must be very early on. A week? Two? Makes you quite a special case, doesn't it?

Ask the last person who told me that. The Mark-faced boys, they are your babies?

[They came to me when they were very young. The irony of it? I never wanted kids. Didn't think it was for me. Next thing I know, I've got more than I can count.]

How unpleasant.

[I think you should know how you got here, Helena. Your family sold you out. Sarah sold you out. They decided you were expendable.]

I don't believe you.

[You can be sure of this: You're not expendable to me. Or my boys. You've overcome so much. Your upbringing, your biology, your fate. We're going to find out how.]

--

(Singing:) Oy khodyt' son kolo vikon, a drimota...

--

[I thought you'd smell like Sarah.]

Another one. You are the ugliest Mark yet.

[Tell me something. Sarah Manning. The gatherer of sisters. When she sold you out, when she gave you to us, that must've been quite a blow.]

You come inside, I tell you about it.

[-Oh, sweetheart, there is nothing more that I would love.
-That's enough.
-Just getting to know the enemy, Major.
-You have an assignment. I will brief you so this time you don't stray.
-Sir.]

(clicks her tongue) Dirty Paul. He lies with my sestras. Even Rachel. Come inside. Have another.

[You won't believe me, but I am sorry it has come to this.]

Hmm. One day, I kill you all. (makes a machine gun noise and points gun fingers at him)

--

[-Hey, keep it down!
-Step aside.
-She's bleeding, Sergeant Miller.]

My shit! Eat my shit!

[-Okay, go in.
-Yes, sir.
-Sergeant Miller, report.
-She bashed her head against the bars this time.
-We'll have to get her over to the infirmary. Helena, it breaks my heart to see you hurt yourself like this. (Helena grins and spits) You know how this goes. Keep still if you don't want it to hurt.]

--

[Helena. Helena. Get up. They're gone. Hurry up. We don't have much time before the drugs set in.]

My arm is like dead fish.

[You have to stay alert. Look for an escape.]

To escape the first box, you must know what next box holds.

[Right. Scout this place and get back here. And don't blunder around like an idiot.]

I will be as quiet as church mouse.

[Hurry up. You're gonna pass out.]

No, no, no. Not yet.

[Helena. On your feet. Snap out of it. Get us back before it's too late.]

--

You must be Parsons.

[Please k--]

What did they do to you?

[-Kill me. K-- kill me.
-Stupid girl. Why would you waste your chance of escape on him? He's already dead. Get moving. Leave him.
-Please. Please--]

We've both been abandoned by our families, left to suffer. I will make it go away. No more pain, little one. Shh. Shh, shh, shh. (hums, stabs him in the brain 8v) Sleep now, lamb chop. Sleep.

[Guards! You stupid girl--]

You say you love boys, but you lie.

[Guards!]

You're a shit mother!

[Take her!]

--

Pupok.

[You killed their labrat. What did you expect - cheesecake?]

He was suffering.

[And now you are. ... Oh Helena, guilty pleasures won't help you escape.]

--

[Hey. Hey! Hey! Hello? Hello?! Anybody?! Oh, shit!]

Not so smart after all.

[Oh, my God. Helena? Helena! Hey! Hey! Oh God, you're alive! What have they done to you? Are you okay?]

I'm most wonderful.

[Hey, look at me. What have they done to you?]

You put me here.

[What? No. Hey, are you hurt? Hey!]

You did this to me! I know you made deal with their mother. Me for you.

[Oh, shite.]

Yes, much shit.

[-Hey. Hey. That's not what happened. I don't know anything about their mother.
-Give her nothing.]

Don't worry, Pupok. I will sew my mouth shut.

[What? Helena, please, look at me.]

--

[-Helena, yes. Yes, there was a deal made for you, but I didn't make it. Mrs. S did. She traded you to Castor to get me and Kira out of DYAD. She made a bad choice.
-Sarah's lying. She's poison. She's going to melt you like butter.]

Shut up about the butter.

[-What? Look, Mrs. S, she made that decision to protect her granddaughter. Think of what you would do to protect that baby in your belly.]

Keep it far away from you.

[-You know, I had to send Kira away again because these Castor assholes came after us, but I knew I had to come find you because we can't fight them alone. You know, I should have just left you here to bloody rot.]

In convent, I live for four months in a broom closet. I do not rot. (door clanks) Five, four, three, two, one.

[-Another one of you bastards.
-Back away from the door.
-Here, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty.
-Against the wall.
-I don't think so.
-Come on, let's go.
-Helena?
-Let's go.
-Hey, Helena?
-Come on.
-Helena, you know they're our brothers, right? They tell you that?
...
-You must be very proud of your boys. Fine, let's chat. What have you done to my sister?
-Helena's fine. She's been confined and controlled much of her life. My opinion, a secure environment gives her comfort.]

--

The mother wants to make medicine for the Mark-faced boys.

[Yeah, thank you for the warning. They took like a gallon of blood.]

You say they are our brothers? I do not believe.

[No?]

Mm-mm.

[Well, I don't care what you believe. You're institutionalized.]

What does this word mean?

[It means that you love it here. Don't worry, I'm sure they'll make a nice little cage for your baby too.]

To a rat, a small hole is like a door.

[Have you figured a way out of here?]

Eat your food, sestra.

--

[Okay, Helena, how many men live on this base?]

Approximately eleven million.

[I know you. I know you've counted them.]

(door clanks) Five, four, three, two, one.

[-All you had to do was stay away.
-What's this, then? Huh? No uniform, no rank?
-I'm a major, Sarah.
-Yeah, I wouldn't wear a uniform either if I was doing illegal shit.
-Come on, now. You are short on friends.
-Are you all right?
-Fat lot you care.
-I do care.
-I was trying to keep you out of all this.]

(kissy noises) Mmm, mmm. Hello, dirty Paul.

[Hey, you know what? This is the guy who sold you out to S. If you don't believe me, you can piss off too.]

Is this true, Paul?

[-It was either her or you.
-So you're a snake either way you cut it.
-If you thought about it for one second, you'd realize all I am doing for these men is what you do for your sisters: protecting them.
-So they can assault women and and abduct people? That's a hell of a cause.
-And Helena's innocent? How many people has she killed? Just do the right thing.
-Let us go.
-That is out of my hands now. The military is just another family, Sarah. Your genetic siblings are dying. Everything we do is for them.
-You tell yourself whatever you need to.]

Opening up their heads? I think Parsons would disagree.

[Second lieutenant Parsons sacrificed what little life he had left for his brothers.]

He begged me to end it.

[No, you murdered him, and you destroyed months of data that could have helped them.]

Maybe you're next, Paul. Ckk.

[Yeah, Paul! Maybe you're next!]

--

[Come on, Helena. I know you're planning some kind of escape.]

I have no plan. I am institutionalized.

[Come on. We're surrounded by desert, yeah? So we're in Mexico or something. Come on, talk to me. I can help.]

You want to be my sandwich?

[What?]

In Siberia, when planning escape, you take weak person with you. They're called "sandwich" because you eat them. (laughs)

[You want to know why I left Kira with Mrs. S? 'Cause I was too young and I felt tied down and trapped, so I would leave Kira with S for days on end. Then one day, Mrs. S wouldn't let me see her.]

Why she does this?

[Oh 'cause I was high or hungover or some shit, and she was right to do that. But-- I left town with Vic just to show S what a mistake she'd made. I missed nearly a year with my kid just being selfish. I didn't get to watch her grow or share her secrets or be her mum. So you want to hold this stupid grudge, you go ahead. Fine with me.]

... Okay, Sarah. Okay. But you have to help me.

--

[Helena, what's happening?]

Any moment now.

(door clanks, together:) Five, four, three, two, one.

[-Meal tray.
-I'm not done with it.
-Yes, you are. Put it through the slot.
-Why don't you come in and get it? (Helena laughs) Open.
-Great.
-Everybody come in.
-All right.
-Ah! Ah, ah, ah.
-I don't think so.
-Hey. I would suggest you show the brothers some respect, make life easier on yourself. Okay? Cooperation is your friend. You can take her back now.]

--

[Hey. Hey, Helena. It worked.]

Sarah, I think you are institutionalized too.

[Sorry I ever said that. Okay, ready? Hide, hide, hide. Okay, good, good. Good girl, good girl.]

--

Okay, I'm ready.

[You ready? You ready? Okay. Um, um, um-- Okay, go! Now, now! Now.
Come on. Hurry, hurry. Hurry. Shh, shh, shh. Hide! Hide. Okay. Okay. Come on. You got it, you got it, you got it! Well done, well done. Hurry now, you have to hurry. Hurry. Hurry. Helena? Get the camera. Get the camera. Helena! Psst, psst! (Doctor guy/guard comes to check camera) Hey! Hey, what's up, mate? Oi. Your bloody camera is-- I don't know what's happened to it there. (Helena stabs him) Oh! (Helena spits on him) Get the keys. Get the keys. Helena, get the keys. Get me out. Come on. Come on, we have to be quick.]

Now we are even, sestra.

[No. What? No, no! You leave me here, you've got nobody. Come on. You've got nobody. Come on. Come back. Helena, no! Come on! No, no, Helena!]

--

[What are you doing? Go, stupid.]

Moi sestra, she tears my heart.

[-Your sister's dead. Think of the baby inside you.
-Everyone! Get out here now! Now! Out! (alarm) Helena has escaped!
-Run. Run while you still can.
-I want everyone searching the camp. She's got to be here somewhere. You two. Now! Move!]
