Thomas "Jack" Jackman a security patrolman, battles through the high winds to find out why all contact with the station has been lost.

- Do you know what it says?

- I don't have to.

- Are you okay?

- Yes, I'm just a little dizzy.

- Why did they write it?

- I don't know.

Seem more like a ritual

than a celebration.

Why weren't you in the video?

Who do you think

took the video?

And you went to have their photos.

Oh God, Jack.

Are you okay?

One moment,

let me help you.

Put your arm around me.

There've been a lot of

strange accidents lately.

Here, lie down.

I'm gonna go get you some ice.

The sooner we can get out of here

the better.

Jack?

God, you looked like you've seen a ghost.

Come on, come lie back down.

It's okay.

Jack...

Do believe in the supernatural?

No. Why?

- Did you see something?

- No. No.

It's just,

there's so many things we can't explain...

... and I just thought I'll

get a scientific opinion.

The way believing the supernatural

doesn't explain anything.

We can't have any irrational thought,

just because we don't understand something.

- There is always a logical explanation.

- Says who...?

Some people fear the unknown.

And that is dangerous.

But some fear make sense.

As life of fear and pain...

- is a security mechanism.

- Sure, when we still live in caves.

Our instinct to fears

have become a liability.

They lead us to kill each other.

Khamsinia Base, Mobile 4.

Base, Mobile 4.

Khamsinia Base, Mobile 4.

Pick up for me, Jack.

Mobile 4.

They found a guy stranded in the desert,

Dr. Ivanov from the drilling team.

Ivanov?

- Alive?

- Barely.

But he has some kind of gas sample with him.

We've sent it to the lab for testing.

When are the cops getting here?

Their priority's the missing crew

so they've asked them to keep you posted there.

- Did Ivanov say anything?

- Not much.

He's in bad shape, ranting in Russian.

- We got Alex to translate.

- Yeah, he was mumbling about...

... something evil being there.

I have no idea what he meant though.

That's weird. JC seems pretty

rattled by something too.

That's the other thing:

According to JaMc, the company leasing

the site, it was an all-Male team.

- There were no women on the project.

- What? Say it again.

They got no record of a Jenny

Christianson, doctor or otherwise.

Are you there?

Jack?

Yeah, yeah, I'm here, Kat.

Send us a photo of her,

we'll check her ID.

and the picture of that grafitti,

and I'll get Yousef to translate them.

I'll get you those photos.

Out.

JC?

JC?

JC!

Jack!

Where were you?

- Where were you?

- Please don't do that.

I couldn't stand being left out here,

alone again.

- I gotta get out of here.

- But we can't.

I'll be over this thing,

in case any crew returns.

- They'll never return.

- How'd you know that?

I'm sorry, I'm...
