00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:12,800
Trance, I'm telling you.
That waitress really dug me.
4
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:16,120
We shared this thing,
this,..., pure, special, cosmic connection.
5
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,200
Wasn't that what you said about that stripper
you met on Mendocino Drift?
6
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,240
The one who had the elbow spikes
and threatened to perforate you,...
7
00:00:22,240 --> 00:00:24,480
...stick a light in your ribcage
and turn you into a planetarium?
8
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:28,920
She is not a stripper. Her name was Dusky
and she was a professional dancer.
9
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:33,840
Besides, Dusky was just an appetizer. Hello,
my name is Kathleen is an all-you-can-eat buffet.
10
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,280
Harper, you're supposed to be using Tundra Flowers
to spread good will for the Commonwealth,...
11
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:38,560
...not meet pretty girls.
12
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:43,640
Hey! I'm all for spreading good will. And if I'm
very lucky, the good WILL commence any minute now.
13
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:45,480
- You've invited her on board?
- No.
14
00:00:45,480 --> 00:00:49,920
I chased her away with my gauss gun
to avoid violating professional ethics.
15
00:00:51,480 --> 00:00:55,600
That would be Kathleen.
You ready to see some stars?
16
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:03,240
Why, thank you, Mr. Harper for such a kind offer.
17
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:04,600
Gerentex.
18
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:11,160
Now why do I get the feeling
that you were expecting someone else?

27
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,400
And sorry, but we're all full of failed,
evil masterminds right now.
28

so try back tomorrow.

Don't push me, human.

00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:18,600
I can't say that I'd mind indulging in a little
senseless violence right about now.
31
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,920
Funny. I was thinkin' the same thing.
32
00:02:20,920 --> 00:02:24,280
Harper, be careful. He has two loaded guns.
You only have a bad temper.
33
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,680
- Aren't you...dead?
- I got better.
34
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:32,400
Lucky you.
Now, as much as I'm enjoying all this blustering,
35
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:37,680
I have an appointment with a lovely lady
who demands my punctual arrival.
36
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,200
- And you are going to take me to her.
- What? We're not taking you anywhere!
37
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,000
Let me put it this way, monkey-brain.
38
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:49,400
Either you take me where I want to go,
or I'll send you back to Captain Valentine in a box.
39
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,520
Do you practice those lines in a mirror?
Because they really need work.
40
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,520
- No. He's here.
- Who?
41
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,720
I'm looking for a Nightsider.
42
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:01,560
Well, we have one right here.
43
00:03:04,920 --> 00:03:08,280
Don't stand there staring like
he's the Vedran Empress!
44
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,240
Get us out of here! He'll kill us all!
45
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:17,240
Give it up, Gerentex, you're coming with me!
Dead, alive, or otherwise.
46
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:23,040
What part of "Get us out of here"
did you not understand?
47
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,200
Ok. Ok.
48
00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:29,680
Move!
49
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,400
Uh, please secure any loose articles, and keep
your hands and feet inside the vehicle at all times.
50
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,600
Oh, shut up.
51
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,280
Hey! Rommie. I was wondering if you...
52
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,240
...Ooooo, yuck.
53
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:54,240
Harper. The amount of garbage he creates
and consumes boggles the mind.
54
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:58,000
Take this disgusting substance, for example.
55
00:03:58,120 --> 00:03:59,480
Sparky Cola.
56
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:04,640
It has no nutritional value, rots the teeth,
and slowly dissolves the digestive tract.
57
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,760
And yet he imbibes at least three thousand milliliters
of it every single day.
58
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,160
Yeah. Harper's twin muses:
"chaos and caffeine."
59
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,920
Somehow, I don't think you came here
to discuss Harper's hygiene.
60
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,720
No. Actually, it's Dylan.
61
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,640
He's been walking around brooding for the last week.
62
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:22,520
To be honest, it's a little, uh, disturbing.
I was hoping you'd know what was bothering him.
63
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:23,720
It's personal.
64
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:28,840
Rommie, as long as I'm acting as Dylan's First Officer,
it's my job to look out for him.
65
00:04:28,840 --> 00:04:30,840
I need to know what's going on.
66
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,120
Back in the days of the Commonwealth,...
67
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:37,120
...High Guard captains were typically assigned
four-year tours of duty.
68
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,400
In a few days time,
Dylan will have been aboard this ship...
69
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,480
...for four years.
70
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,400
His final act as captain
would have been to inspect the Andromeda...
71
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,080
...and turn command over
to his executive officer, Gaheris Rhade.
72
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,000
His best friend.
The guy who tried to kill him.
73
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,200
I guess now would be a bad time
to give him some bad news.
74
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:56,480
Bad news?
75
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,680
See for yourself.
76
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,600
That is bad.
77
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,920
So, care to tell us the name
of your girlfriend back there?
78
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:15,480
If you must know, he goes by the name of "Reaper".
Bounty hunters, so unimaginative.
79
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,280
So there's a price on your head. Oh, good.
Maybe I'll get my money back after all.
80
00:05:19,280 --> 00:05:22,960
If I were you, I'd spend less time
trying to plot MY downfall...
81
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,360
...and more time trying to guess
what I'm going to do with the two of you.
82
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,720
Oh, I love playing guessing games!
83
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:34,880
Call me a traditionalist, but when I kill someone,
I really do prefer it when they stay dead.
84
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:36,800
Now, be quiet, the two of you.
85
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,200
- I'm trying to think.
- Don't strain yourself.
86
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:45,480
Fine. If you don't want me to come up with a way
to integrate you into my brilliant plans...
87
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,600
...and use you to my advantage,
then I'll just kill you now and be done with it!
88
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,800
No. No! We want you to think.
We encourage you to think.
89
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,320
Hell yeah! We'll even help you.
90
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,560
Why don't you, uh, tell us what you're up to,
and we'll see if we can make ourselves useful.
91
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,080
Oh, you'd like that, wouldn't you?
92
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:05,320
Let's have old Gerentex take us into his confidence,
reveal his latest scheme for wealth and success,...
93
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,600
...and then we'll betray him
and keep it all for ourselves!
94
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,920
- We would never do that.
- I would.
95
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:10,960
True.
96
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:12,640
Why do I bother?
97
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:17,240
ah-ah. Not so fast, rat-face.
If you shoot me, it's Dosva-Bye-Bye for you.
98
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:22,120
Well, I'm sure you've got some explanation
to back up your pathetic little threats.
99
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,800
How's this for a little known,
yet highly entertaining fact?
100
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,400
You see, whenever the teacher lets us take
the Maru out on these little class field trips,...
101
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,400
...I key the power generators to my life signs.
- You do?
102
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:35,440
See? Little known. The point is,
if my life signs should suddenly, I dunno...
103
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:39,520
...expire, the generators overload and explode
like that.
104
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,520
In a heartbeat,..., in MY heartbeat.
105
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,400
You'd blow up this whole ship
with your little purple friend on board?
106
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:48,480
Trance has come back from the dead before.
She's,..., tricky that way.
107
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,600
- What makes you think she can't do it again?
- Well, let's find out, shall we?
108
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:52,680
No!
109
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,080
Yeah. What he said. No.
110
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:59,440
- You hurt her, and I will kill you myself.
- You and which Vedran cavalry, my boy?
111
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:04,560
You don't get it, do you? You harm one hair
on her head, and I will come after you.
112
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:09,040
And then you'll have to kill me, because I absolutely
will not stop until one of us is Magog food.
113
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:10,360
- You're bluffing.
- Try me.
114
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,400
See if you can wrap your little rat brain around this.
115
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:16,400
You kill her, I kill you. You lose.
You kill her and you kill me, the ship blows up.
116
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,320
You still lose. Either way, you lose.
117
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,920
Excuse me.
Can we please discuss the "killing her" part?
118
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:23,640
Fine.
119
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:31,200
I was hoping to save this for a more dire emergency,
but I can see you two leave me no choice.
120
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:35,040
- I'll have to resort to Plan B.
- Plan B?
121
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,760
Yes. Plan B.
122
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,360
Son of a...
123
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:47,920
I've just injected you with a microscopic generator
which produces quite a nasty little shock.
124
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,600
All with the press of a button.
This button.
125
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:59,240
But why take my word for it?
I believe the expression is "Show. Don't Tell".
126
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:09,800
Well.
Now. Who's next?
127
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,520
So, as I was saying,...
128
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:26,600
...the Andromeda debacle put me into some
serious debt to some rather unsavory characters.
129
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:31,600
Tell me, do you have any idea what the monthly
interest on eleven million thrones might be?
130
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,200
I know what it is on the 84 grand you still owe me.
131
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,120
I didn't even say anything!
132
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:44,040
Oh, I am sorry, my dear, but I'm afraid
I only have one button, and two hostages.
133
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:50,200
Where was I? Oh, yes.
My most brilliant plan ever.
134
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:54,480
Retrieve the Andromeda,
deliver her to the buyer,...
135
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:58,920
...auction off her Nova bombs,
one by one, to the highest bidder.
136
00:08:59,680 --> 00:09:02,040
Beautiful.
137
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:07,440
I should've been swimming in luxury by now.
Instead, I'm drowning in debt.
138
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,200
How tragic.
139
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,880
Oh, dear, my finger must have slipped.
140
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:19,000
Well, you know, in this business,
you're only as good as your latest scam.
141
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,480
My strip-mining venture on Infinity Atoll,...
142
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:27,200
...my Roboto-Courtesan manufacturing plant,
the religion I founded.
143
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,240
All gone. Forgotten.
144
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,480
This is the part where you're supposed to say
"Oh, Gerentex, that's so sad."
145
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,720
- Oh, that's so sad!
- Oh, you're breaking my freakin' heart!
146
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,000
So, I find myself on that rust-bucket drift
with no way off.
147
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,880
And to make matters worse,
I was on the verge of the Big Score, Harper.
148
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:49,200
Something even bigger than the Andromeda deal.
A bonanza of unparalleled plenitude.
149
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,720
- Plenitude. As in cash?
- Of course cash, idiot.
150
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,480
And then,
who should I see but the two of you,...
151
00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:01,000
...handing out flowers and getting the brush-off
from that snaggletooth waitress.
152
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,240
Hey! Kathleen was not snaggletooth.
And you should talk, smiley.
153
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:10,080
- And is that where you came up with the evil plan?
- My dear, those are the best kind.
154
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,800
So the Perseids on Sintii Four think humans
will screw up the new Commonwealth...
155
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,560
...just like we did the old one.
- Not all of them. Just a faction on their High Council.
156
00:10:24,560 --> 00:10:26,520
Hohne and your other supporters have,...
157
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,920
...the motion locked up in committee,
but it might not stay there.
158
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,400
I've spent almost an entire year trying to get worlds
to sign up for the new Commonwealth.
159
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:36,160
I've managed to get three,
and now one of them is threatening to back out.
160
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:40,280
- That pretty much sums it up. Yeah.
- And now I'm supposed to convince them to stay?
161
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,120
I mean who am I kidding?
I'm a soldier, not a statesman.
162
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:46,000
Oh, don't be so hard on yourself. You're at least
as good a politician as I am a first officer.
163
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,880
Yeah.
164
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,240
- That is a compliment, right?
- That's right. Yeah.
165
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,880
Good.
166
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:06,280
I don't recall giving you permission to stop.
We are on a tight schedule.
167
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,480
Look. I'm tired, ok?
168
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:12,400
My butt's asleep and I got a mother
of a caffeine withdrawal headache.
169
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,240
Could you at least grab me a Sparky?
170
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,480
Oh, you want a Sparky? Here.
171
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,480
OK, listen to me, and listen very carefully.
172
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,000
Every time you press that button,
it hurts a little less.
173
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,200
Keep it up,
pretty soon it's not gonna hurt at all.
174
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,800
And then I'm gonna break free, crack your skull open,
and drink a beer over your fuzzy corpse.
175
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,400
- Harper, don't say that!
- What? You want me to be nice to him?
176
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,400
- You're supposed to be the good guy.
- Correction.
177
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,040
Standing next to you,
Beka, Rev, Rommie, Dylan, or...
178
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,000
....well anyway...then I'm one of the good guys.
179
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:46,800
But I didn't survive twenty years on that hellhole
we lovingly call Earth by being Santa's little helper.
180
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,000
I survived by being the nastiest piece of work...
181
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,280
...that ever clubbed someone over the head
in a back alley over a hunk of cheese.
182
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,960
So, please, keep pressing that little button.
Get your money's worth.
183
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:56,880
'Cause then it's gonna be the worst day
of the end of your life.
184
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:01,160
You know,
I've always wanted to see a human glow in the dark.
185
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,920
It must be hard being a Nightsider.
186
00:12:04,560 --> 00:12:05,400
Excuse me?
187
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:10,280
Well, once the Commonwealth evacuated Korendar,
the Nightsiders had no planet to call home.
188
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,920
Did you know that there are worlds
where they shoot Nightsiders on sight?
189
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:19,200
And they call US a threat to aquatic ecosystems.
Don't they realize that our children have to eat?
190
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,520
It's not your fault that Nightsiders
have hundreds of babies...
191
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,840
...that eat everything in sight
until they reach dry land and become sentient.
192
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:25,880
It's just the way you evolved.
193
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:30,080
Well, try telling that to a village full of
Arswan fishmongers as they try to run you down...
194
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,080
...and impale you on their boathooks.
- It must be awful.
195
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,480
Oh, my dear, you don't know the half of it.
196
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:42,080
Do you know, the only way a Nightsider
can survive these days is to be so filthy rich,...
197
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:46,800
...so mind-bendingly wealthy
that people can't help but accept you.
198
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:48,800
I'd accept you...loosening these ropes.
199
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:57,640
Why don't I just tighten them until your limbs pop
like a Than grub under a magnifying glass?
200
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,280
What's the matter, Gerentex?
Artificial gravity misbehaving?
201
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:18,360
Sorry, I'd love to help you,
but I'm a little TIED UP.
202
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,880
Hey! Why didn't you do that before?
203
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,480
Well, he was talking
and I didn't want to interrupt him.
204
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,280
And he had that buzzer thing.
205
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,000
Well, it's broken now, so untie me.
I gotta go see a Nightsider...
206
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,800
...about an obscenely large pile of money.
207
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,120
You have to promise not to kill him.
208
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:42,920
What?
209
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,200
All right. I promise.
210
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,040
- Harper, you promised!
- I just promised not to KILL him.
211
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:56,000
You think this frightens me?
I've been tortured by Nietzscheans.
212
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,920
What a coincidence.
So was I.
213
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,280
- You wanna see some highlights?
- Hey!
214
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,200
If this is that "good cop, bad cop" game
you were telling me about,...
215
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,280
...isn't this the place
where I'm supposed to play "good cop"?
216
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:10,160
Sorry, mon chéri. Welcome to,...,
a new game:
217
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:15,280
Bad Cop, Worse Cop.
And,..., guess which one I am.
218
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,600
Gerentex, why don't you just tell us
what we want to know?
219
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,600
- What do we want to know?
- Oh, the usual.
220
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:25,680
What's the scam, how do I get in on it, what's it worth,
and where do I get my 84,000 thrones!
221
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:31,280
- I'm not telling YOU anything.
- Gerentex, this is my nanowelder.
222
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,640
It can cut through a starship like a,...,
Magog at a puppy farm.
223
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,360
Maybe it can jog your memory, huh?
224
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,000
Hasturi's diary.
225
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,400
- You're a fool.
- N-N-N-N-No.
226
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:51,640
I hired one of my more reliable acquisition specialists
to contact certain...parties.
227
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:55,600
- They know where it is.
- The original? The real one, not some bogus ca...
228
00:14:55,600 --> 00:15:00,400
- OK. What is Hasturi's diary, please?
- The journal of Hasturi? The mad Perseid?
229
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:01,960
About a hundred years ago,...
230
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:06,640
...he wandered the galaxy claiming he found a way
through slipstream back to Tarn Vedra.
231
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:10,920
The diary is the documentation of his journey...
232
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:16,680
...to the long-lost capital of the Systems' Commonwealth
and all its wealth and splendor.
233
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:23,000
Whoever finds the diary
and retraces his path to Tarn Vedra...
234
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:27,440
...could command the galaxy.
- Or get a Nightsider out of debt.
235
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:32,120
- Oh, exactly. And it's all...
- OURS
236
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:36,600
You're gonna show us how to find that diary,
and we're taking it.
237
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,600
So what do we offer the Perseids this time?
238
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,320
Protection. Peace of mind.
Mints on their pillows?
239
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,200
- Just don't let them dissect me.
- Relax.
240
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,640
I'm not going to offer the Perseids anything.
241
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,600
If I did,
I'd be making the opposition's case for them.
242
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,800
They say that we're no better than the Neitzcheans,
and they'd be right.
243
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:02,000
We have to make the Perseids see
that not all humans are consumed by greed...
244
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,440
...for money, power, and control.
- And how do we do that?
245
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,640
Give them clean towels?
246
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,720
OK,..., we use Gerentex's money
to buy the diary's location.
247
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,240
Then we go back to the Andromeda,
we tell Dylan.
248
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:15,840
Or maybe we don't have to tell Dylan.
249
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,400
Either way, we are going to Tarn Vedra where
the livin' is easy and the women have four legs!
250
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,080
- Aren't you forgetting something?
- Uh, well let me see.
251
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,120
We get fame and fortune. Gerentex gets nothing.
252
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,200
We make the biggest discovery in the history
of the known worlds. Gerentex gets nothing.
253
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,360
What am I forgetting? Nothing!
254
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,840
Hostile weapons fire. PDL's activated.
255
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,840
- Reaper!
- Except him.
256
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,440
- Harper! Slipstream!
- I'm working on it!
257
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,400
But every time we're almost
out of the star's gravity well,...
258
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:54,280
... Chuckles out there cuts us off
and starts shooting again.
259
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,640
May I make a suggestion?
260
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,240
Uh, let me think.
NO!
261
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:06,560
Oh, you're right! Your plan is working SO well,
you certainly don't need MY help!
262
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:08,560
Make it quick.
263
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,240
I'll put this in a way your tiny mind can grasp.
264
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,160
Our pursuer wants to kill me,
but he won't risk his life for it.
265
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:18,960
That's his weakness. So if this is a problem
in terms of psychology and mathematics...
266
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,400
...our ship has fifty times the mass
of his little fighter.
267
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:26,000
Fat lot of good it does us. His ship is faster,
better armed, and more maneuverable.
268
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,160
- We can't out-shoot or out-flank him.
- So don't.
269
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,800
Turn this whale around and aim straight at him.
270
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:34,000
If he gets out of our way, we escape.
If he doesn't, we run him down.
271
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,480
What?!? At that velocity,
it would vaporize both of us.
272
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:40,640
Yes, yes, yes.
But he's a bounty hunter, not a physicist.
273
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:42,800
Any, uh, thoughts, your purpleness?
274
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:48,280
Signs are hazy, ask again later. But we're leaking
pions and AG fields are barely holding.
275
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:49,840
Fine.
276
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,080
A game of chicken.
277
00:17:53,360 --> 00:17:55,760
Let's bring it.
278
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,680
Entering slipstream.
279
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,480
Damn, I'm god!
280
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:23,440
Hello!
Does anyone remember whose idea it was?
281
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,240
Shut up, rat. Just tell me where to go.
282
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,600
I have SEVERAL suggestions.
283
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,560
Tell me we're nearing an end to this tedium.
284
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,760
Dylan's still planishes,
trying to talk sense into the Perseids.
285
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,200
He might as well appeal
to a Nightsider's generosity.
286
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:45,080
Blind idealism on overdrive.
So, he talks, and we sit.
287
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:46,720
Unless you've got any bright ideas.
288
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:51,360
Sadly, I doubt our beneficent commander would
appreciate it if we were to nuke the planet from orbit.
289
00:18:51,360 --> 00:18:53,920
Though I can hardly say I'd mind the exercise.
290
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:57,600
Threats won't work.
And apparently, neither will diplomacy.
291
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,360
- Which leaves?
- Valentine-ology.
292
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:09,480
Albuquerque Drift.
Land of the expensive and home of the sucker.
293
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:20,080
Oh, this is so neat! You can win money,
go to the all-you-can-eat buffet,...
294
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:24,800
...and even enjoy the comedy stylings
of the Supreme Mirth Inducer, Unru.
295
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:29,400
I dunno. Perseid stand-up comedy?
Some things are just SO wrong.
296
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,560
All right, let's get this over with.
297
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,720
- Gerentex, are you there?
- Where else would I be?
298
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:39,760
Oh, the injustice of it all.
The inherent brutality.
299
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:44,120
- It's the system that keeps us Nightsiders down.
- Yeah, yeah. Cry me a river and drown in it.
300
00:19:44,120 --> 00:19:47,400
Just identify your friend so we can get out
of Loser's Palace, here, will ya?
301
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:51,160
Look, at the bar. Metal hair, nose-ring.
302
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,320
Miss Andulasia, I presume?
303
00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:02,440
And who wants to know?
304
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:06,040
- We're friends of Gerentex.
- I prefer associates.
305
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,440
Oh, I don't think you can ever have enough friends,
wouldn't you agree?
306
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,000
Uh, yeah, uh....
307
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,840
Shhhh. I prefer my men strong and silent.
308
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:17,880
- Well then you won't like Harper.
- Trance! Will you...I...
309
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:21,520
Much better. So, I assume you're here
about the data he wanted?
310
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,280
- Do you have it?
- Oh, I've got it.
311
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,280
I lifted it off of that wildcatter he told me about,...
312
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:31,200
...not long before that unfortunate
run-in with a faulty airlock.
313
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:35,520
That's great.
It's not great for him, but it is for us.
314
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,640
Harper, give her the flexi.
315
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,440
I think that's the amount you two agreed on.
316
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,560
Oh, it was. But now, it's a zero short.
317
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:49,800
But, you had a deal.
318
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:53,000
Did you really think
that I was gonna stick to that deal?
319
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,320
That is so sweet.
320
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:59,120
When you get serious,
you know where to find me.
321
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:01,600
And so do you.
322
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,560
She wants me.
She really wants me!
323
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,960
She wants to get you alone,
slit your throat, and rifle your pockets.
324
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,920
- But go ahead, see for yourself.
- I will.
325
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,600
- Harper! Stay.
- And do what?
326
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,840
We can't raise that kind of cash,
even if we sold the Maru.
327
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,360
Sure we can.
328
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,360
Yoshidono! Yoshidono!
329
00:21:26,360 --> 00:21:28,080
All hail the conquering Trance.
330
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,480
Place your bets, please, ladies and gentlemen.
331
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:31,880
Let it ride.
332
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:37,280
Bets please...and, no more bets, please.
Le jeu est fait.
333
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,880
- Uh, Trance, I think we have enough.
- But I'm just starting to have fun!
334
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:47,280
- Trance! Now.
- I win again!
335
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,440
Ok! Ok! Ok!
336
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:01,920
This enough?
337
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,720
Definitely.
338
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:07,880
Pleasure doing business with you.
339
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,720
Hey, if you want pleasure,
you're talking to the right guy.
340
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,800
Thanks, but I prefer my men alive.
341
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,640
My purse?
She just took my purse!
342
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:22,280
H-h-hey, fellahs!
Uh, nice place you got here.
343
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,000
You cheated us out of half a million thrones.
344
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:29,200
Ok, look, you want your money back, you gotta talk to
the nice lady who just ran out that door.
345
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:33,800
You two! Where's Gerentex?
I'm gonna turn him into a rug.
346
00:22:49,360 --> 00:22:51,920
Well, that went quite well.
347
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:58,280
I think it went swimmingly.
348
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,800
THIS is why you kill him.
349
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,240
Aren't you forgetting the math, here?
350
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,960
Dead Harper plus Reactor Overload
equals Sayonara, Nightsider.
351
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:18,720
Yes, but it occurs to me that you don't have
any vital organs in your kneecaps. Do you?
352
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:20,720
OK.
353
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,000
Much better.
354
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:30,680
You know, now that the moment is upon me,
I must admit to feeling a tad misty.
355
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:37,200
Once I find Tarn Vedra, all the painful struggle,
the years of yearning will finally be behind me.
356
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:41,160
I'll buy a lake. Or maybe a small sea.
357
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:48,480
Start a harem of fecund Nightsider females
who'll fill the water with furry tadpoles...
358
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:56,280
...and watch as the strongest of our young
devour the weak in the ancient dance of life.
359
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:57,960
Oh. That is so beautiful.
360
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:06,240
Isn't it? You know, all I've really wanted
was a home and a family of my own.
361
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,520
To change myself for the better.
362
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,840
You wanna change your life for the better?
Put a bullet in your head.
363
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,920
Seamus Zelazney Harper,
you take that back this instant.
364
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:19,240
Trance, THAT is the bad guy. Habla es "bad guy"?
Villain? Antagonist? Thug? Pain in the..."
365
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:24,400
Just because he comes from a different culture with
different drives and values doesn't make him a bad person.
366
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,720
That's strange. Aren't we forgetting something?
Yes, I think we are. Something important.
367
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,920
- OH YEAH! HE KILLED YOU!
- Not permanently!
368
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:34,840
And after I saw what happened at the casino,
I truly regret my harsh actions.
369
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:42,800
To think that I almost...hurt...such a sweet,
understanding, profitable young lady...
370
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,320
I promise I'll never do it again.
371
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:49,520
Oh, you don't have to explain.
I completely understand.
372
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,440
If you hadn't shot me then,...
373
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,640
... you could have lost control completely,
and then where would you have been.
374
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,480
- He was just trying to protect himself.
- Exactly.
375
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,440
I couldn't let you play me for a fool then, and...!
376
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,080
...NOT NOW!
377
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,760
Et tu, Trance?
378
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:12,040
You know,
I REALLY hoped I wouldn't have to kill anybody!
379
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:13,600
Why do you do this?
380
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:14,720
Huh?
381
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,080
Why do you point guns
at people and threaten them?
382
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,000
I find it very efficacious.
383
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,360
Well, I don't. In fact,...
384
00:25:22,360 --> 00:25:24,800
...I think it makes you look like
a complete butt-head.
385
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,960
And if you think you can try and kill me,
well think again!
386
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,600
No, in fact, I dare you! Come on!
387
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:34,240
What's the matter? You afraid of a little purple girl?
388
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,840
Yes. You are.
Because you're a criminal,...
389
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:41,520
...and all criminals are stupid,
short-sighted, self-centered...
390
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,800
You know, hurtful stereotypes like that
give people like me a bad name.
391
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,600
No. People like YOU
give people like you a bad name.
392
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,800
If you had half the brain
that you claim to have,...
393
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:51,600
...you would know that
if we had worked together,...
394
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,600
...we would come out on top.
But no, instead...
395
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:55,120
...you decide to play stupid power games...
396
00:25:55,120 --> 00:25:57,920
...about who gets to have control
and who gives the orders.
397
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:02,640
If you keep walking down this path,
you're going to end up a very unhappy person.
398
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,400
You really do care, don't you?
399
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:07,960
Yes!
400
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,480
Well, I don't care!
401
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:20,600
I've got the gun, I'm in control,
and everything is right with my world.
402
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,720
Hostile weapons fire. PDL's activated.
403
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:31,000
Oh, yeah, you got the world on a string, baby.
404
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:38,040
And furthermore, if you can't see
what you're getting out of this deal,...
405
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:42,800
...then you are not just the most petty,
self-righteous technocrats in three galaxies.
406
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:44,920
THEN, you're even stupider than you look!
407
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:46,080
Stop.
408
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,680
Yeah. I can explain about...this...
409
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,400
Walk with me.
410
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:52,920
Oh boy.
411
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,280
It wasn't just that you insulted the Perseids.
412
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:00,840
It's the way that you did it over, and over,
and over again. And Beka, the language, it was...
413
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,360
Dylan, when you recruited us
to join your little quest,...
414
00:27:03,360 --> 00:27:05,600
...you didn't just appeal to
the better angels in our natures.
415
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,400
You told us how it would be good for us.
416
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:09,400
Yeah, that's funny.
417
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,720
I remember that speech,
and at no point do I recall suggesting that you...
418
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:14,680
..."get your chins screwed on straight".
419
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,520
Yeah, well,
I got the Perseids' attention, didn't I?
420
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,640
And now that I have it, we can remind them why
the Commonwealth deal works for them.
421
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,800
Assuming they ever talk to us again.
422
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:27,600
Dylan, sorry to interrupt, but I have an incoming
transmission from one of the Sintii Directors.
423
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:29,600
Probably Hohne calling.
424
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,840
Pipe it to my quarters.
I'll calm him down.
425
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:36,680
Actually, it's one of Hohne's opponents,
and he's asking for Beka.
426
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:51,200
Faster, Harper, faster.
427
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:54,760
I'm doing the best I can.
Trance, any word from our adoring fans?
428
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:56,680
They've just popped out of slipstream.
429
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,200
They're two light-minutes behind us,
out of weapons range, but just barely.
430
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:04,600
As long as they can't catch us.
Best speed to Hasturi's asteroid.
431
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,480
This will have to be an in-and-out operation.
432
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,480
Hey! My favorite kind.
433
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:15,080
Ladies and germ, on your left,
Hasturi's World.
434
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:18,520
Right next to the galaxy's biggest ball of twine.
435
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:30,840
Perfect. Hasturi left the power on
and everything's still pressurized.
436
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,200
Wow. The lights are on,
and nobody's been home for over a hundred years.
437
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,080
The guy must've been brilliant.
438
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,760
I don't get it, though.
There must be kilometers of tunnels in this rock.
439
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,200
I mean, why go to all the trouble?
440
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,360
Maybe he was afraid of the dark.
441
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:50,000
- Must've been a rough trip to Tarn Vedra.
- Look, we can gape at the scenery later.
442
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,640
Right now, we have to find
the mad Perseid's sanctum sanctorum.
443
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,800
Our pursuers can't be far behind
and we all know what that means.
444
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:59,400
That you're gonna get down on your knees
and beg for mercy like a little girl?
445
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:02,440
There are two kinds of people
in this universe, Mr. Harper.
446
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:05,840
The kind with loaded guns,
and the kind who open doors.
447
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:09,360
- YOU open doors.
- Fine. FINE.
448
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,320
Allow me to work the old Harper magic.
449
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:34,920
- Open sez me.
- Good for you!
450
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,200
I think it's this way.
451
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,760
Now, if I remember correctly,
wasn't Hasturi a paranoid.
452
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,160
Yes. Like the purple girl in a room
full of rocking chairs.
453
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,360
So, shouldn't he have set some traps?
454
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,360
I am sorry, my dear.
Old habits die hard.
455
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:56,800
It's all right.
456
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:58,440
OK, this way.
457
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:09,600
Screw this! I'm not gonna be killed
by some stupid trap to help you find MY diary.
458
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,800
- Mr. Harper!
- Oh, for crying out loud, go ahead and shoot!
459
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:16,400
If I gotta be killed,
it's gonna be over MY fame and fortune, not YOURS.
460
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,200
So, excuse me. I got a diary to go find.
Trance?
461
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,000
- But, Harper, we need you.
- Yeah, to step on a plasma mine.
462
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,360
Set off your own traps.
463
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,800
On the other hand,
maybe we should stick together!
464
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,480
Run for your lives!
But let me go first!
465
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:56,880
H-h-hey, guys.
Aren't you a long way from the casino?
466
00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:04,000
...
467
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:25,240
I don't understand.
Why am I the only one who attracts bullets?
468
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:30,200
Oh, that's our High Guard ECM generators.
They mess up smart bullets really bad.
469
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:33,760
Trance!
Are you out of your freakin' mind?
470
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:37,360
- I presume you mean that?
- Yeah. We both have one.
471
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,680
How nice...for me.
Gimme.
472
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:47,280
Make my happy thought come true.
473
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:50,560
You dead. That's my happy thought.
474
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:54,640
You are the one vulnerable to weapons fire.
475
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:59,840
I would suggest you save your own life
before you try to deprive me of mine.
476
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:01,840
Now move.
477
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,040
Well they've stopped shooting at us.
I think they're dead.
478
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,680
Maybe they finally decided to cooperate.
479
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:09,600
Keep working.
480
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:14,280
Fine. Fine. FINE.
Sorry.
481
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:23,520
Now, sometimes, it's more important to understand
why things work instead of how.
482
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:28,280
You see, these doors.......
And why is this important, class?
483
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:31,480
Because power pressurizes the whole enchilada.
484
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:35,040
- Faster, genius, faster.
- Relax.
485
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:38,560
This door's solid fluorine mesh.
486
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:40,520
They're not getting through it
unless they're packing nukes.
487
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:42,720
Now, as I was saying...oh...
488
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:43,920
Hey, how you doin'?
489
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:48,080
The thing is, what's been pressurized
can be DE-pressurized.
490
00:32:54,880 --> 00:33:00,640
That giant sucking sound you hear
is Reaper and company leaving the building.
491
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:08,200
- You are a very bad person.
- You're welcome.
492
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:11,680
Now let's move on to the main course
so I can get off this rock.
493
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:19,280
This is it. Hasturi's lair.
494
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:24,640
Yeah, judging by the, uh, dead Perseid
with the hole in his head, I'd say you're right.
495
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:33,640
Yes, Hasturi's story
seems to have an unhappy ending.
496
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:37,240
Whoa, I guess paranoid people
really do have enemies.
497
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:39,080
A dead Nietzschean.
498
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,280
I'm gonna go look for that diary.
499
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:46,120
Trance will find it.
You, stay there.
500
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:50,840
You know, you catch more flies
with honey than vinegar,...
501
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:54,000
...though I don't know why you'd want to catch flies.
They're actually quite dirty little things.
502
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,240
Just find the diary.
503
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,800
Right. Finding it.
504
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:02,400
If I was a diary of a mad Perseid explorer,
where would I hide?
505
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:03,840
Take your time.
506
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:08,400
My trigger finger never gets tired.
And if it does, well, I won't shed any tears.
507
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:09,200
I would. For both of you.
508
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:12,600
You know, as much as I enjoy these long,
lingerie looks into your beady little eyes,
509
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:15,440
I don't think I'm ready for a relationship.
510
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:20,680
I found it.
511
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:47,000
- I have your ECM generator.
- At this range, my aim's pretty good.
512
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:55,640
- I just got word from the Council.
- And?
513
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,440
Nice work.
The Perseid's are back on board.
514
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:00,080
You know, they may not understand appeals...
515
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,520
...to their better natures, but insults...
insults they take to heart.
516
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:03,800
Well, it was a team effort.
517
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,840
Captain and first officer.
You set 'em up and I knocked 'em down.
518
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:08,480
Chinheads didn't stand a chance.
519
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:11,760
- The Commonwealth thanks you.
- I didn't do it for the Commonwealth.
520
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,080
I did it
'cause you're my friend and you needed me.
521
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:15,760
- Is that right?
- Uh-huh.
522
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,360
Well, what do you have without friendship?
523
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:29,520
Ummm, guys? It's been, like, twenty minutes now,
and I'm really getting bored.
524
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:35,080
How 'bout this?
I'm going to count to three...
525
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:40,000
...and on three, you're going to get up,
put your guns down,...
526
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,920
...and we're going to talk about this like adults.
527
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:50,200
Great.
528
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,800
This'll be much better than yoshidono.
529
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:54,200
OK.
530
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,160
One.
531
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:58,160
Two.
532
00:36:02,240 --> 00:36:03,960
Trance!
533
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:07,880
She's quick.
534
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:09,000
Very.
535
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,440
I am so sick of this, you two.
536
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:15,440
With your violence and your threats
and your shooting stuff!
537
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,200
Neither of you gets it, do you?
538
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:21,360
There isn't enough love in the universe as it is,
and you're both just helping to kill off what's left.
539
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:23,360
So SHAPE UP!
540
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:26,960
Because if you don't show each other
a little peace, love, and understanding,
541
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,080
I am going to kill you BOTH.
542
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:32,000
- Trance, you don't mean that!
- I do.
543
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,360
You know why?
'Cause I could get away with it because I'm cute.
544
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:37,640
- You wouldn't.
- Oh.
545
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:42,000
Dylan, it was so horrible.
They just...
546
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,800
...they killed each other right in front of me.
547
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:48,240
And I tried to stop them, really I tried,
but I couldn't.
548
00:36:48,240 --> 00:36:50,600
By the sacred light, she's right.
549
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:55,200
I can just see that High Guard fossil now,
hugging her and saying "Trance, it'll be ok."
550
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:58,960
- While we lay here dead.
- Drop your guns NOW!
551
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:02,280
Or in a few days,
Rev Bem's going to find me on the Obs Deck...
552
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:04,400
...and console me on my tragic loss.
553
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:07,760
- Drop our guns?
- Indubitably.
554
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:17,360
Good. Very good.
Now, move!
555
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:34,520
So, you get the diary and I get nothing once again.
556
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:37,800
Am I wrong to feel angry, disappointed?
557
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:42,480
No. You get something,
the warm feeling of knowing that you did good.
558
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:44,680
We're docked.
Thought you might like to know.
559
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:48,360
This is it, then.
The big goodbye.
560
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:51,720
Are you sure you won't come with me?
561
00:37:51,720 --> 00:37:55,480
We could tour all the casinos
in the known worlds.
562
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:59,280
Croupiers everywhere would tremble
at the sound of our names.
563
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:01,840
Mmmmm...
maybe another time.
564
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:05,640
You know,
I really am sorry I shot you.
565
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:10,080
I know you don't believe me,
but it's true.
566
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:13,680
Wait. I want to give you something.
567
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:18,320
Here.
568
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:23,280
Anesterian Tundra Flowers?
569
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:28,000
The most efficient oxygen producer
ever discovered?
570
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:29,440
I thought they were extinct!
571
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:35,400
If I could get these three to reproduce,
I can repay my debts. I might even...
572
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:43,360
You know, this is, um,...
573
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:48,960
...the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me.
574
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:52,400
- Thank you.
- You're welcome...
575
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:55,880
...Everyone deserves a second chance.
- But only one.
576
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,720
Or as many as they need.
577
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:08,440
Move!
578
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:10,400
There's another crisis on Sintii!
We've got five minutes!
579
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:11,280
Again? What now?
580
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:14,360
Segaria Beach.
Celebration for a job well done.
581
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,320
But we need to get our butts planished
before the sun goes down.
582
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:20,640
Come on. Move! Go go go!
583
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:29,720
Hey, Trance,
I know I got a little carried away back there,...
584
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:34,200
...and I'm glad you talked some sense into me.
585
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:38,000
But you weren't REALLY gonna...
shoot me...were ya?
586
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:39,680
Absolutely not.
587
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:44,160
Not any more than you were gonna
REALLY shoot Gerentex. Right?
588
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:46,480
Right.
589
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:49,320
- So. Still friends?
- Best friends.
590
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:51,360
Good.
591
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:54,920
You know what you've done, don't you?
592
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:58,920
You've kissed off our entire tundra flower monopoly,
our best commodity.
593
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:00,200
No, I haven't.
594
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:03,600
I gave Gerentex a beautiful thing
to call his own.
595
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:08,640
Beautiful things can make sad people happy
and bad people good.
596
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:15,640
When you think about it,
beautiful things can change the universe.
