1
00:00:17,100 --> 00:00:21,700
I'll say this for the old Commonwealth. When it comes
to formal dinnerware, you guys rule.

2
00:00:21,900 --> 00:00:23,600
I do what I can.

3
00:00:23,900 --> 00:00:27,800
It's all a little bit much to me.
I mean, placecards? Come on.

4
00:00:27,900 --> 00:00:31,100
Protocol is vital to the Castalians.

5
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:35,400
President Lee and his people forged a republic
from a dozen habitats and cultures:

6
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:40,000
water-breathers, air-breathers,
beings that have lived their entire lives in space.

7
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:44,200
Which explains why the two fish-necks
get to hang out with the hot chick with the lungs.

8
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,500
In fact,
I think *I* will sit next to the lung lady.

9
00:00:47,700 --> 00:00:51,000
And create a major diplomatic incident?
I don't think so.

10
00:00:52,300 --> 00:00:57,800
Your ship is a marvel, Captain Hunt.
I must say, you have exceeded our expectations.

11
00:00:58,100 --> 00:01:00,500
Thank you, Mr. President.
That means a lot coming from you.

12
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,800
Please. If you keep that up, you'll swell my head.

13
00:01:03,900 --> 00:01:10,300
And then this technological miracle won't fit anymore and
I'll be forced to spend our entire negotiation in a bathtub.

14
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:14,600
Mr. President, before we proceed,
I'd like to address some of my security concerns.

15
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,800
Oh, of course.
And here's the information you requested.

16
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,400
I'm very impressed. And a little intimidated.

17
00:01:23,500 --> 00:01:28,000
Don't worry. We're on the same side.
Or, we will be, once the charter has been signed.

18
00:01:28,100 --> 00:01:33,200
Then by all means, let's get to it.
I'd hate to stand between the colonel and her new toys.

19
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,300
Certainly.

20
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,400
Alright then, how about this one.

21
00:01:38,900 --> 00:01:40,500
It's pink.

22
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:45,100
Beka, it's a state dinner.
That means formal. Pick something.

23
00:01:46,100 --> 00:01:49,900
What if they start shooting?
How am I supposed to run in a dress?

24
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,600
Good heavens,
what kind of dinner parties have you been to?

25
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:13,600
You know? Up until now, life on the Andromeda's
been like living in a first-class hotel...

26
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,000
with thrill rides!

27
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,200
You're supposed to tie that.

28
00:02:20,100 --> 00:02:25,800
I'm telling you, if Dylan really gets 50 worlds
to sign his charter, you know what it's gonna be like.

29
00:02:26,100 --> 00:02:29,100
Goodbye room service, hello foreign service.

30
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,100
She'll have us dressing like mannequins
every other Thursday.

31
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,500
Stop fidgeting!
Let's hear the ceremonial music.

32
00:02:40,700 --> 00:02:45,300
THAT'S their "Hail to the Chief"?
It's sounds more like a tuna with a toothache!

33
00:02:45,500 --> 00:02:47,700
It works better underwater.

34
00:02:47,700 --> 00:02:49,200
Protocol.

35
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:53,000
Remember, the Castalian dignitaries
have musical cues for everything.

36
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,600
Music for entering a room, for leaving a room,
for proposing a toast.

37
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,800
And while they're on this ship,
we have to respect their traditions.

38
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,900
The Castalian Republic is progressive,
peaceful, and stable.

39
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,200
If they sign the Commonwealth Charter,
they provide us with instant credibility.

40
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,800
And we provide them with the services
of the toughest warship in the known universe.

41
00:03:10,900 --> 00:03:14,200
Flatter me all you want.
You still have to wear the dress.

42
00:03:15,500 --> 00:03:20,500
I said tell them no! Tell them no as often as it takes,
and then just tell them no again.

43
00:03:20,700 --> 00:03:22,400
You'll have to forgive Chancellor Chandos.

44
00:03:22,500 --> 00:03:25,200
He never bothered to study decorum
while he was a partisan.

45
00:03:25,300 --> 00:03:27,700
I understand completely.

46
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,400
If all goes well this evening,
and the Parliament approves,

47
00:03:31,500 --> 00:03:35,500
then I see no obstacle to Castalia
signing your charter.

48
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:40,100
I'll make the announcement tomorrow
in a live broadcast to the entire Republic.

49
00:03:40,500 --> 00:03:42,500
President Lee, that's...that's wonderful news.

50
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,200
For both of us.

51
00:03:44,300 --> 00:03:50,100
There's been too much darkness since the Fall...
on Castalia, and everywhere else, for that matter.

52
00:03:50,300 --> 00:03:53,800
It's time we turned the lights back on.

53
00:04:19,500 --> 00:04:22,600
On behalf of the Republic of Castalia,

54
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:28,200
I would like to thank the Andromeda Ascendant
for her gracious hospitality.

55
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:32,700
And may this be the start of a fruitful alliance.

56
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,500
Cheer! cheer!

57
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,300
I offer a toast to President Lee,

58
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:50,700
who united his people
by appealling to their highest ideals.

59
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:55,700
May he inspire a host of imitators.

60
00:05:04,300 --> 00:05:06,500
Thank you, Reverend Bem.

61
00:05:06,700 --> 00:05:13,100
I salute you for your wisdom, your wit,
and your excellent judge of character.

62
00:05:14,100 --> 00:05:16,800
Oh, somebody shoot me.

63
00:05:16,900 --> 00:05:18,400
You think you've got problems.

64
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:22,400
I'm never gonna score with
Captain Terrific moving in on my turf.

65
00:05:24,300 --> 00:05:28,700
- President Lee is quite the politician.
- I'm lucky to work for him. He's a great man.

66
00:05:28,900 --> 00:05:32,100
He didn't have to include the air-breathers
in his republic, you know.

67
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:37,200
- We're a minority, and it wasn't a popular move.
- Well, I hope I can live up to his example.

68
00:05:42,100 --> 00:05:46,600
I should also like to salute President Lee.

69
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:52,100
A man possessed of determination and vision.

70
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:57,100
A vision to see that Volsung Pride
could never be a part of his republic.

71
00:05:57,300 --> 00:06:06,700
And the determination to see every Nietzschean
on Castalia slaughtered: man, woman, and child.

72
00:06:21,900 --> 00:06:24,000
The long night has come

73
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,800
The system Commonwealth,
the greatest civilisation was fall

74
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:32,000
and now one ship, one crew are
about drive back the night,

75
00:06:32,100 --> 00:06:34,400
they'll gush up the light of civilisation

76
00:06:34,500 --> 00:06:37,800
on the starship Andromeda hope lives again

77
00:07:10,700 --> 00:07:13,900
<b>.</b>

78
00:07:14,100 --> 00:07:15,400
Tyr!

79
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,200
- What the hell was that supposed to be?
- I was complimenting our guest.

80
00:07:18,300 --> 00:07:22,800
- Don't insult my intelligence!
- I'm not the one playing you for a fool.

81
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,000
Sebastian Lee built his republic
on the bones of my people.

82
00:07:30,100 --> 00:07:33,500
The Volsung were a direct offshoot
of Kodiak Pride.

83
00:07:33,700 --> 00:07:38,100
Their orbital habitat was blown to pieces
during Lee's War of Unification.

84
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:43,500
- 75,000 Nietzscheans! My blood!
- Like you said, it was a war.

85
00:07:43,700 --> 00:07:48,300
A war the Volsung had already lost.
They were attempting to surrender!

86
00:07:48,500 --> 00:07:54,700
And Lee decided to solve
his Nietzschean problem once and for all.

87
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,500
So, be just a bit more careful who
you're shaking hands with, Captain Hunt.

88
00:07:58,700 --> 00:08:01,900
Your fingers might come away bloody.

89
00:08:04,700 --> 00:08:08,200
Captain, if you're curious,
then why not check our public records.

90
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:12,300
But to confront the President in this fashion...
well, it's insulting.

91
00:08:12,500 --> 00:08:17,100
And I won't stand for it. No, it's all right.
We want Captain Hunt to be our partner.

92
00:08:17,300 --> 00:08:19,900
He deserves an explanation if he wants one.

93
00:08:19,900 --> 00:08:25,200
Captain, please understand that the Volsung
were invaders in our system.

94
00:08:25,500 --> 00:08:29,900
They looted. They captured slaves.
They owned the sky.

95
00:08:30,100 --> 00:08:33,500
We were helpless against them.

96
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:38,900
Still, my people, the water-breathers,
went relatively unscathed.

97
00:08:39,100 --> 00:08:44,000
We had nothing they really wanted.
We built our strength, waiting.

98
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,000
Eventually they grew complacent.

99
00:08:47,100 --> 00:08:52,100
We managed to destroy their fleet,
but before we could move on to their habitat,

100
00:08:52,500 --> 00:08:55,100
they blew it up themselves,

101
00:08:55,200 --> 00:09:01,400
killing everyone aboard...
including 10,000 Castalian slaves.

102
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,900
They're the murderers.
Not us.

103
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:10,100
That's impossible.
Nietzscheans don't commit suicide.

104
00:09:10,300 --> 00:09:12,700
It may not have been deliberate.

105
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,700
Their munitions may have detonated accidentally.
We'll never know for certain.

106
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,700
Then you'll make your records available
to my ship's database?

107
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,900
Of course, Captain.
Our database is at your disposal.

108
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,100
Those deaths were a tragedy, Captain Hunt.

109
00:09:26,300 --> 00:09:29,700
Exactly the kind of loss
your Commonwealth hopes to prevent.

110
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,900
Please, review the material.
If it meets with your approval,...

111
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,000
...I still want to sign the Charter...

112
00:09:36,100 --> 00:09:39,400
...live, on camera in front of my people,
just as we planned.

113
00:09:39,500 --> 00:09:43,500
- If that's acceptable to you.
- Yes, that's quite acceptable, thank you.

114
00:09:43,700 --> 00:09:49,500
Fine, then we can broadcast as soon as you have
checked our records and the apology is made.

115
00:09:49,700 --> 00:09:51,200
Apology?

116
00:09:51,300 --> 00:09:59,000
I need a formal apology from Tyr Anasazi.
Protocol, you know. So tiresome.

117
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,200
I want you to apologize to President Lee.

118
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:15,700
- The man committed genocide.
- Not according to Castalian public records,...

119
00:10:15,900 --> 00:10:18,300
...or the official investigation into the explosion.

120
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,200
They both say the Volsung habitat
was taken out by friendly fire.

121
00:10:21,300 --> 00:10:23,200
And you believe them?

122
00:10:23,300 --> 00:10:25,600
Right now, you have one story,
the Castalians have another.

123
00:10:25,700 --> 00:10:28,500
One that is perfectly plausible.

124
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,200
Think more than a few moves ahead, Tyr,
and remember the long game.

125
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:38,600
Reestablish the Commonwealth, and we reestablish
open inquiry, accountability, and justice.

126
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,800
- Justice. For Nietzscheans?
- For everyone.

127
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,400
Or there's no point.

128
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:57,600
And a Big Hello to all my friends
at the Calhoun's Corner Saloon,

129
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:02,600
where I can't wait to enjoy my two-for-one beers
every evening at sunset.

130
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:04,400
If I ever get off this ship.

131
00:11:04,500 --> 00:11:07,800
Ka-Ching!
Interplanentary pitchman, Seamus Harper.

132
00:11:07,900 --> 00:11:12,200
Sorry, was that Seamus,
or Shame-less, Harper?

133
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:22,900
Very well, that's a little more convincing.
Tell him...tell him maybe.

134
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:29,500
Captain, the President's address is in ten minutes.
Are you sure your super-man is going to show up?

135
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,100
Pay up.

136
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:50,900
I'm told I owe you an apology.

137
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:56,200
Captain, could we have a moment alone, please.

138
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,600
- Andromeda, engage privacy mode.
- Yes, sir.

139
00:12:00,700 --> 00:12:05,100
Mr. President, the parliament is convened,
and your speech begins in 8min. and 32sec.

140
00:12:05,300 --> 00:12:08,100
Thank you. This won't take long.

141
00:12:25,300 --> 00:12:28,800
I apologize for my tardiness.
I hope I'm not too late.

142
00:12:28,900 --> 00:12:31,200
You missed Tyr's act of contrition.

143
00:12:31,300 --> 00:12:32,900
Did I?

144
00:12:32,900 --> 00:12:35,700
I know, I know. Pay up.

145
00:12:38,500 --> 00:12:42,000
Strictly for charity, of course.

146
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,300
- The Presidential March
- That can't be right.

147
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,500
What are you doing?!?

148
00:12:58,300 --> 00:13:02,400
He's been shot.
The Nietzschean has shot President Lee.

149
00:13:03,300 --> 00:13:05,300
He's dead.

150
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,700
- I've got him. I've got the killer.
- You put that away.

151
00:13:07,900 --> 00:13:09,000
Eternal life...

152
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,600
He's having convulsions.
We've gotta get Tyr to medical.

153
00:13:11,700 --> 00:13:15,000
Rommie! Get security in here, now.

154
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,200
Would you close that stupid camera!

155
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,100
I loved him, you know.

156
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,800
He was like a father to me.

157
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,700
- And I failed to protect him.
- We all failed to protect him.

158
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,100
It was my job!

159
00:13:45,100 --> 00:13:50,900
When my parents died,
it was Sebastian Lee who gave me a home.

160
00:13:51,100 --> 00:13:57,300
It was Sebastian Lee who made me believe that
I was worth something, even though I'm a breather.

161
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:02,200
Rev Bem would say that only
the smallest part of him is gone.

162
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,600
His spirit lives.

163
00:14:05,700 --> 00:14:09,500
His accomplishments survive him.
Now it's your job to carry on his work.

164
00:14:09,700 --> 00:14:12,800
You're right.

165
00:14:14,300 --> 00:14:16,200
Thank you.

166
00:14:16,300 --> 00:14:21,800
I'll have a forensics team here by noon and
a security team to take the assassin into custody.

167
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,200
I'm afraid I can't let you do that.
This is my ship.

168
00:14:25,300 --> 00:14:29,900
I have jurisdiction here, and I won't have a horde
of outsiders trampling on a crime scene.

169
00:14:30,100 --> 00:14:33,500
So what do you propose to do?
Incarcerate the killer in your private prison?

170
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:37,200
When we identify the killer,
I'll turn him over to Castalia for trial.

171
00:14:37,300 --> 00:14:39,600
When we identify the killer?
We saw it! We were there!

172
00:14:39,700 --> 00:14:42,700
We saw the aftermath, not the crime.

173
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,200
I promise you, you'll be involved
in every step of the investigation.

174
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:50,700
But this will *be* an investigation,
not a witch hunt.

175
00:14:54,300 --> 00:14:57,500
You should patch into our live feed on the Obs Deck.
You'll probably want to see this.

176
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,100
Reverently do I don this armor,...

177
00:15:00,300 --> 00:15:04,800
...in the knowledge that it represents
my duties as Shield of the Republic.

178
00:15:04,900 --> 00:15:10,500
Citizens of Castalia,
I swear by the blood of President Lee,...

179
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,400
...that his murderer will suffer
the ultimate justice for his crime.

180
00:15:14,500 --> 00:15:16,700
Ultimate justice?

181
00:15:16,700 --> 00:15:19,200
Castalia has the death penalty for murder.

182
00:15:19,300 --> 00:15:26,700
When all is know,
our action will be swift, certain, and final.

183
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,500
Well, that was...inflammatory.

184
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,500
There are 20 billion very angry people
in the Castalian Republic.

185
00:15:32,700 --> 00:15:35,300
If Chandos hadn't assured them
of his firm intentions,...

186
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,700
...they'd come up here
and tear your ship apart with their bare hands.

187
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:41,100
Good. Something else to look forward to.

188
00:15:58,700 --> 00:16:00,900
Tyr.

189
00:16:02,500 --> 00:16:04,000
Tyr,...

190
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,000
...it's Dylan.

191
00:16:08,500 --> 00:16:10,300
So it is.

192
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:15,400
- Do you know where you are?
- I'm in medical. And I'm under guard.

193
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,400
What's the last thing you remember?

194
00:16:20,300 --> 00:16:26,800
We were in hydroponics.
You were talking about games.

195
00:16:27,100 --> 00:16:30,700
So you don't remember
being on Obs Deck with the president?

196
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:32,400
No.

197
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,100
But I'm going to assume
our meeting didn't go well.

198
00:16:36,300 --> 00:16:39,300
While you were alone with President Lee,

199
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,400
he was killed with two shots
from your force lance.

200
00:16:42,500 --> 00:16:44,500
Have you worked out who did it?

201
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,500
Captain, passive sensors are detecting
movement on the Castalian moon.

202
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,500
I'm registering a massive launch from the surface.

203
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:50,800
On my way. How many?

204
00:16:50,900 --> 00:16:53,200
Over 300 ships,
and they're heading straight towards us.

205
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,100
Great.

206
00:17:02,500 --> 00:17:08,000
Chancellor, what's...Mr. President,
what's going on.

207
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,000
Andromeda says you've launched an armada.

208
00:17:10,100 --> 00:17:14,100
Not me, Captain. My people.
Billions of Castalians are howling for blood.

209
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,400
Our military high command has decided
that I am a hostage on your ship,...

210
00:17:17,500 --> 00:17:20,400
...and we never bargain with hostage takers.

211
00:17:20,500 --> 00:17:22,900
So, tell them you're safe...
that you can leave any time you'd like.

212
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,800
I've tried that.
They believe that I am under duress.

213
00:17:25,900 --> 00:17:29,100
There must be someone willing to listen.
You can't let things escalate like this.

214
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,700
I did not create this situation, Captain.
Your crewman did.

215
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:38,700
If you would like it to end, I would suggest
that you deliver the killer to our custody. And soon.

216
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:43,200
Otherwise, I cannot be responsible
for the actions of my people.

217
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,900
So if you turn Tyr over to the Castalians,
what will they do with him?

218
00:17:57,100 --> 00:18:00,000
Put him on trial,
probably a big showy one.

219
00:18:00,100 --> 00:18:01,500
A fair trial?

220
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:05,100
Chandos's personality is abrasive,
but his reputation is spotless.

221
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,100
And Lee was...well,
he was Sebastian Lee.

222
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,500
Which is your long-winded way
of saying you hope so.

223
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:16,600
If you're asking me, would I betray an innocent man
just to get my Commonwealth, the answer is no.

224
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:20,400
But there is one question none of us wants to ask.

225
00:18:20,500 --> 00:18:21,900
Which is?

226
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,000
What if Tyr isn't an innocent man?

227
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,900
- That's your reconstruction of the crime?
- As of now.

228
00:18:39,100 --> 00:18:43,700
I think that's the most pathetic and ill-planned
excuse for an assassination I've ever seen.

229
00:18:43,900 --> 00:18:49,500
And I speak as one who has had some...
slight experience in these matters.

230
00:18:49,700 --> 00:18:53,900
So you would have done things differently.

231
00:18:55,500 --> 00:18:57,000
Method 1:

232
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:02,300
Slow acting poison in his food. A bit obvious,
but no sure way to connect it to me.

233
00:19:02,500 --> 00:19:03,800
Method 2:

234
00:19:03,900 --> 00:19:08,100
Nanobots in his shuttle, timed for reentry.
The shuttle burns up and leaves no evidence.

235
00:19:08,300 --> 00:19:09,300
Method 3:

236
00:19:09,300 --> 00:19:14,300
A dart tipped with stonefish toxin.
Primitive, but undetectable...mimics heart failure.

237
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:18,100
Or I could have arranged for his breathing apparatus
to fail, or perhaps I might have replaced his...

238
00:19:18,300 --> 00:19:20,500
I get the picture,
I get the picture.

239
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,400
Good.

240
00:19:22,900 --> 00:19:26,400
Then there can only be one conclusion.
I'm innocent.

241
00:19:26,500 --> 00:19:29,200
Because you never would have gotten caught.

242
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,400
Precisely.

243
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,900
Well then, now that that's out of the way,

244
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,600
would you like to suggest
that the greater good requires my surrender?

245
00:19:38,700 --> 00:19:40,100
Your surrender?

246
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,300
For a man determined to cook
history's greatest omelette,

247
00:19:43,500 --> 00:19:47,100
you're awfully squeamish
about cracking your eggs.

248
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:54,100
It's not like he doesn't kill people.
I mean, hell, it used to be his day job.

249
00:19:54,300 --> 00:19:58,000
Yeah, but nobody hired Tyr to kill Lee.

250
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:00,800
Did they?

251
00:20:01,100 --> 00:20:04,800
All I'm saying is...
and it may sound a little selfish...

252
00:20:04,900 --> 00:20:09,000
sometimes you gotta throw a wolf to the wolves
to keep the rest of us from getting eaten.

253
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,800
Please. I could swat
that fishing fleet of theirs in the Maru.

254
00:20:11,900 --> 00:20:15,200
Yeah, and you'd eat them for lunch.
Now there's a thought.

255
00:20:15,300 --> 00:20:20,500
Do fish people eat fish?
Or is it like humans eating monkeys or apes?

256
00:20:20,700 --> 00:20:23,200
The Castalians are humans.

257
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:25,900
Genetically engineered to breathe water,
but still human.

258
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,300
Besides, humans do eat monkeys.
Humans eat other humans.

259
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,600
As a species,
we are really quite unpleasant.

260
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,500
So, Mr. Harper,
you care to update us on the investigation?

261
00:20:35,700 --> 00:20:40,100
Gladly. I'm completely at the colonel's disposal.
And I mean *completely*.

262
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:41,900
I'm sure you do.

263
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:49,200
OK. Weaponry 101.
The force lance is the High Guard's favorite toy.

264
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,700
Retracted, it can be used as a light source
or a scanner or whatever else comes to mind,

265
00:20:52,900 --> 00:20:57,400
and deployed, it makes a nifty quarterstaff or,
uh, limbo bar.

266
00:20:57,500 --> 00:21:00,900
Now, in either configuration,

267
00:21:01,100 --> 00:21:07,900
it can fire tiny attack drones effectors
basically smart bullets from a smart gun.

268
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,400
This force lance has recently
fired two such effectors.

269
00:21:11,500 --> 00:21:13,700
Timestamp matches President Lee's death.

270
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:17,000
However, according to the internal sensors,

271
00:21:17,100 --> 00:21:21,700
the effectors were fired at a low velocity
straight down toward the deck.

272
00:21:21,900 --> 00:21:26,300
As they slowed to zero, they each acquired the target
and then attacked on their own power,

273
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,600
like a couple of bats out of H-E-double-hockey-sticks.

274
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:31,500
Kind of an indirect way to shoot someone.

275
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,300
You're telling me.
And that's not the weird part.

276
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:38,500
There was a full capacitor discharge
that matches Tyr's electric shock.

277
00:21:38,700 --> 00:21:44,500
Force lances are keyed to the owner's DNA.
If it shocked him, it wasn't his force lance.

278
00:21:44,700 --> 00:21:47,700
Oh, it definitely was his.

279
00:21:48,500 --> 00:21:51,600
These are the weapon id's
that Andromeda downloaded.

280
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:53,500
The serial numbers match.

281
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,600
The murder was committed
with the Nietzschean's force lance.

282
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:58,300
The murder was committed by the Nietzschean.

283
00:21:58,300 --> 00:21:59,800
Why would he shock himself?

284
00:21:59,900 --> 00:22:02,200
Maybe he wanted it to look
like he'd been attacked.

285
00:22:02,300 --> 00:22:05,400
Nietzscheans don't deliberately injure themselves.
It's anti-survival.

286
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,100
You know, none of this makes any sense.

287
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,400
Assassinating Sebastian Lee doesn't make sense.

288
00:22:09,500 --> 00:22:15,100
So what if the Nietzschean chose
an eccentric way to shoot the president.

289
00:22:15,300 --> 00:22:17,300
Assassins have been known to be eccentric.

290
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:21,400
Not Tyr. Uh...overbearing, self-righteous,
vain, vicious, brutal,

291
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,400
way too serious, and a little big, yeah.
But eccentric? No.

292
00:22:24,500 --> 00:22:28,500
Are you sure this isn't less about justice
than it is about pinning the murder on Tyr?

293
00:22:28,700 --> 00:22:29,800
Pinning?

294
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:32,600
Pinning?

295
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:37,600
Your crewman was alone in a room with someone
that he had every reason in three galaxies to want dead.

296
00:22:37,900 --> 00:22:40,900
That person is now dead.
And with all your hemming and hawing,...

297
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,800
...all you've succeeded in doing is to prove
that he was shot with your man's gun.

298
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:49,200
Thank you for the information.
I'll make sure it's conveyed to the proper authorities.

299
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:56,000
Well, score another point for informed cooperation.

300
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,000
Beka, in the old days,

301
00:22:58,100 --> 00:23:01,200
did you ever do any background checks
on the people who were hiring you?

302
00:23:01,300 --> 00:23:04,000
Yeah, all the time.
Better safe than sorry.

303
00:23:04,100 --> 00:23:06,200
Exactly what I was thinking.

304
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,000
OK,
here's what we've got on Colonel Ironpants.

305
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,600
It was her job to protect the president.
Well done.

306
00:23:13,700 --> 00:23:18,300
She also had the specs on Tyr's weapon by her own
request, and she's awfully eager to hang Tyr.

307
00:23:18,500 --> 00:23:22,700
So we've got method and opportunity,
but not motive.

308
00:23:22,900 --> 00:23:24,900
She adored Lee.
He freed her people.

309
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,200
Not in time to save her family.

310
00:23:27,300 --> 00:23:29,100
They were Nietzschean slaves.

311
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,000
The laborers who died on the habitat.

312
00:23:31,100 --> 00:23:34,600
You don't brand your employees.
You brand your slaves.

313
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:38,400
If Tyr's right about the Volsung Pride...
if Lee deliberately ordered its destruction,

314
00:23:38,500 --> 00:23:42,700
then he also ordered the deaths
of the forced laborers and Yao's family.

315
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:44,100
Revenge.

316
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:45,200
Always a popular dish.

317
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,800
Add another name to the list.
Which makes three.

318
00:23:48,900 --> 00:23:50,700
Tyr, Yao, and who else?

319
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,600
Revenge is always a solid motive for murder,...

320
00:23:53,700 --> 00:23:56,400
...but there's another old standard
we've been overlooking.

321
00:23:56,500 --> 00:23:58,400
Power.

322
00:23:59,100 --> 00:24:01,600
Impossible. You're grasping at straws.

323
00:24:01,700 --> 00:24:03,000
Am I?

324
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,800
Yesterday Chandos was chancellor.
Today he is president. That's quite a promotion.

325
00:24:06,900 --> 00:24:09,400
One which he would have gotten
even if Lee were still alive.

326
00:24:09,500 --> 00:24:11,200
Maybe he got impatient.

327
00:24:11,300 --> 00:24:14,300
How long would he have had to wait?
Ten years? Twenty?

328
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,200
Three days, Captain.

329
00:24:16,300 --> 00:24:21,200
Sebastian Lee was planning to resign
as soon as the charter was ratified.

330
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,800
It was to be his last great act as president.

331
00:24:24,900 --> 00:24:28,400
Chandos would've been president
by the end of the week, and he knew it.

332
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:32,800
Now, if you're through insulting our
elected officials, I have a report to make.

333
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:37,300
Captain, a Castalian ship is attempting
forced entry into Hangar 3.

334
00:24:39,100 --> 00:24:43,500
Given the circumstances,
I'm going to have to ask you to wait here.

335
00:24:54,500 --> 00:24:58,100
They're trying to override the door controls.
Should I just let them in?

336
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,500
Let them feel like
they're accomplishing something.

337
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:24,400
Welcome aboard.

338
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,100
Now!

339
00:25:57,700 --> 00:25:59,500
Colonel.

340
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:05,800
The Castalian government would like
to make it clear that this attack...

341
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:10,000
...was an unauthorized action by civilian militia.

342
00:26:10,100 --> 00:26:13,100
I'm sure they would.

343
00:26:14,700 --> 00:26:17,400
Thank you for avoiding any bloodshed.

344
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,700
I'm not sure we would have done
the same in your place.

345
00:26:20,900 --> 00:26:23,200
I want you to look at something.

346
00:26:27,900 --> 00:26:30,200
- More schematics.
- Bear with me.

347
00:26:30,300 --> 00:26:32,900
Each force lance is keyed to its owner.

348
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,300
Andromeda, what happens if someone tries to use
a force lance that doesn't belong to them?

349
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:40,200
The capacitor is discharged,
and the unauthorized user is shocked unconscious.

350
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,200
But this *is* Tyr's force lance.

351
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,100
The serial numbers confirm it.
It wouldn't have shocked him.

352
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,400
Normally, you'd be right.
Normally.

353
00:26:49,500 --> 00:26:54,100
But today I took out your...
concerned citizens...

354
00:26:54,300 --> 00:26:57,800
- ...with a force lance operating by remote control.
- Remote control?

355
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,900
Someone with the right codes
can control a force lance,

356
00:27:01,100 --> 00:27:05,100
either by voice, pulsed laser,
or microwave transmission.

357
00:27:05,300 --> 00:27:09,400
So, what I'm suggesting is this.

358
00:27:10,100 --> 00:27:13,400
Tyr was in the room with President Lee,
making his apologies.

359
00:27:13,500 --> 00:27:16,900
Suddenly,
his force lance discharged two effectors.

360
00:27:17,100 --> 00:27:21,200
Now, Lee saw the effectors leave Tyr's sidearm,
and he shouted.

361
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,100
But he was too late.
Lee was killed.

362
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,700
Tyr grabbed his weapon and tried to control it,
but it shocked him.

363
00:27:27,900 --> 00:27:29,500
Why?

364
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:34,400
Because Tyr's command of his sidearm
had been taken from him.

365
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,700
Control was somehow assigned to someone else.

366
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:41,800
Andromeda, do you have any record of intercepted
transmissions at the time of President Lee's death?

367
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,300
There was a low-frequency microwave transmission
detectable outside Obs Deck.

368
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,200
Origination?

369
00:27:47,300 --> 00:27:52,700
The transmission originated from a communications
port in the observation deck itself.

370
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,400
I control that port.

371
00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,800
Captain, the evidence is clear.

372
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,700
I killed President Lee.

373
00:28:09,700 --> 00:28:13,800
My records clearly indicate
that I gave the order to kill President Lee.

374
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,200
But do you remember doing it?

375
00:28:16,300 --> 00:28:20,100
Memory is just a function of information retrieval.
The information is there. I did it.

376
00:28:20,300 --> 00:28:24,300
But you don't remember intending to do it,
or planning to do it.

377
00:28:24,500 --> 00:28:26,000
No. No, I don't.

378
00:28:26,300 --> 00:28:29,500
OK, here's my plan.

379
00:28:29,700 --> 00:28:33,500
We download your personality into my neural net
until we get this sorted out.

380
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,400
- We what?
- Have you read the Castalian legal code?

381
00:28:36,500 --> 00:28:40,100
Do you know what they do to an AI
who commits murder? They disassemble it!

382
00:28:40,300 --> 00:28:43,700
In the Commonwealth, we did the same thing.
Complete personality reinitialization.

383
00:28:43,900 --> 00:28:47,000
Yeah, but they can't erase you
if they can't find you.

384
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:51,200
Come on, Rommie, interface with me.
It's the closest I'm ever gonna get.

385
00:28:51,300 --> 00:28:55,000
I'll just store your data in my cranium
until we can solve this stupid mystery.

386
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,200
Harper,
that would work for about a millisecond.

387
00:28:57,300 --> 00:29:00,600
Then your brain would fry
like an egg on a plasma relay.

388
00:29:00,700 --> 00:29:03,500
You saying you're too smart for me?

389
00:29:04,500 --> 00:29:10,500
I'm saying it's very sweet of you to offer,
but I'm not going to hide from the Castalians.

390
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:19,900
- What are you doing loose.
- General consensus is that I am innocent.

391
00:29:20,100 --> 00:29:22,700
You're many things,
but innocent is not one of them.

392
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,600
- I imagine that makes two of us.
- What's that supposed to mean?

393
00:29:25,700 --> 00:29:29,600
It means congratulations
on committing the perfect crime.

394
00:29:29,700 --> 00:29:32,400
I won't even dignify that with a reply.

395
00:29:32,500 --> 00:29:36,200
You killed Lee,
and then you arranged for me to take the blame,...

396
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:40,000
...knowing full well that no Castalian
would ever believe an innocent Nietzschean.

397
00:29:40,100 --> 00:29:42,300
That's insane. Why would I do that?

398
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,800
Because Lee ordered the death of your family.

399
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,600
Sebastian Lee never made that order.

400
00:29:48,700 --> 00:29:53,000
And if I believed for one minute that he did,
I would have killed him.

401
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,700
May we have that in writing?

402
00:30:03,900 --> 00:30:05,500
Pesky little critters.

403
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:07,400
What's up, Harper?

404
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:16,100
Dylan, I have a confession to make.

405
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:25,100
It was me. Lee, the murder...

406
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,200
...I did it.

407
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:33,000
I programmed Rommie to kill Lee.

408
00:30:33,100 --> 00:30:35,700
Not now, Harper.
I don't have the time for this.

409
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:39,800
Well, fine. I'll confess to the Castalians.
They'll believe me.

410
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,600
OK, why did you do it?

411
00:30:42,700 --> 00:30:46,500
Why? Why?
Because.

412
00:30:46,700 --> 00:30:51,000
Because...I didn't like their stupid fish music.
That's why.

413
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:56,200
Harper, I appreciate your loyalty.
But what I really need you to do is solve this crime.

414
00:30:56,500 --> 00:31:00,700
Andromeda's checked every program in her inventory
and she can't find a trace of the hacker.

415
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:05,400
So, if you could just move the confessional back
to the machine shop, that would be great.

416
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:09,800
Fine.
But I reserve the right to confess later.

417
00:31:32,700 --> 00:31:35,100
Hey!
Harper confessed to the murder, huh?

418
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:36,700
He tried.

419
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:38,900
Yeah, well, his heart's in the right place.

420
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:40,500
Dylan,...

421
00:31:41,100 --> 00:31:44,000
...maybe we should cut our losses.
There are a million other worlds out there.

422
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,300
Plenty of fish in the sea?

423
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,600
You said it, not me.

424
00:31:49,900 --> 00:31:52,800
My problem isn't leaving.
My problem is the...

425
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:57,400
...statement we'd be making that this ship and her crew
are somehow above the law, that we're...

426
00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,600
...better than the people we're trying to help.

427
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:01,100
Aren't we?

428
00:32:01,100 --> 00:32:06,500
Hey! I read the first officer's job description.
Play devil's advocate's on page three.

429
00:32:06,700 --> 00:32:09,500
Get thee behind me, Satan.

430
00:32:24,500 --> 00:32:29,300
- Andromeda, I was just...
- Looking for me. I know.

431
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:37,600
Captain, I'm ready to surrender myself
to the Castalian authorities.

432
00:32:37,900 --> 00:32:41,100
- I won't let you sacrifice yourself.
- Dylan, I'm a warship.

433
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:45,200
I was created with the knowledge that I might
be sacrificed for the good of the Commonwealth.

434
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:48,200
I've always been prepared for that.

435
00:32:48,300 --> 00:32:51,500
- Haven't you?
- It was always a possibility.

436
00:32:52,100 --> 00:32:55,700
But in battle, going down fighting together.
Not like this.

437
00:32:55,900 --> 00:32:58,400
What is it Rev Bem always says?

438
00:32:58,500 --> 00:33:01,500
The universe doesn't always
give you what you want.

439
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,400
It gives you what you need.

440
00:33:14,900 --> 00:33:18,600
Dylan, you're not gonna believe this.

441
00:33:19,100 --> 00:33:21,400
Oh, no.
You're not gonna confess again, are you?

442
00:33:21,500 --> 00:33:24,400
I'll resent that tomorrow, but for now...
excuse me...

443
00:33:24,500 --> 00:33:26,300
check this out.

444
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:31,000
This is President Lee
when he first entered command.

445
00:33:33,700 --> 00:33:37,800
Now, here's Chandos taking the oath.

446
00:33:40,300 --> 00:33:45,200
Now, Lee at the supper party.

447
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:51,300
Now, observe.

448
00:33:52,500 --> 00:33:56,300
Captain, you wanted to speak to me?

449
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:00,100
You see?

450
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:06,100
Not exactly see,
but my hearing is just fine.

451
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,400
This is Captain Dylan Hunt of the High Guard.

452
00:34:18,500 --> 00:34:24,800
Investigation has shown that an Artificial Intelligence
was involved in the tragic death of your president.

453
00:34:25,100 --> 00:34:31,300
In such a case, Commonwealth law demands
that the AI's personality be completely erased.

454
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:39,300
I invite you, the people of the Castalian Republic,
to observe the law in action.

455
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,400
Bring in the prisoner.

456
00:34:43,500 --> 00:34:45,900
President Chandos will bear witness...

457
00:34:46,100 --> 00:34:49,900
...as I give the codes which will destroy
the Andromeda intelligence.

458
00:34:50,100 --> 00:34:53,800
- Andromeda Ascendant, are you ready?
- Yes, Captain, I am ready.

459
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:57,200
Oh, we almost forgot.
Mr. President, your entrance music.

460
00:34:57,300 --> 00:34:59,500
What? No...I...

461
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:02,200
- We want to observe proper protocol.
- No!

462
00:35:02,300 --> 00:35:04,400
No, no, please, no, stop,

463
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:14,900
Is there a problem?

464
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:20,100
This is a mistake.
I don't understand.

465
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,400
Of course you do.

466
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:25,100
You're the one that loaded the computer virus
into the presidential music.

467
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:28,100
Which is why you never played any for yourself.

468
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:31,800
After Tyr's behavior
provided you with the perfect cover,...

469
00:35:31,900 --> 00:35:35,300
...you directed Andromeda
to kill President Lee.

470
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,300
At least,
kill the man in the presidential breastplate.

471
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:42,900
Recognition software is dicey, and you Castalians,
you all look so much alike.

472
00:35:43,100 --> 00:35:46,000
Excluding, of course, Colonel Yao.

473
00:35:46,100 --> 00:35:50,300
Much safer to tell Rommie to target the guy
with the dish on his chest...

474
00:35:50,500 --> 00:35:55,600
...than to tell her to shoot at a guy
with tubes sticking out of his fishneck.

475
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:57,700
It was a good plan,...

476
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:00,800
... you must admit.
- You needed better music.

477
00:36:05,700 --> 00:36:07,700
Ulysses Chandos,...

478
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:12,400
...I'm placing you under arrest
for the murder of President Lee.

479
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:17,200
I don't understand.
You were already gonna succeed him.

480
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:23,900
- You just had to wait a few more days.
- For his resignation. That was the problem.

481
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:28,700
Please...please stop the camera.

482
00:36:28,900 --> 00:36:32,700
I want to talk to Colonel Yao
and Captain Hunt in private.

483
00:36:32,900 --> 00:36:35,100
Clear the deck.

484
00:36:39,100 --> 00:36:41,800
You have to understand.

485
00:36:41,900 --> 00:36:47,000
- What I did, I did for Castalia.
- You're lying.

486
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:50,600
You both know that Lee was going to resign
after the charter ratification,...

487
00:36:50,700 --> 00:36:55,100
...but have you seen his resignation speech?

488
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:57,900
Well, I have.

489
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,200
He couldn't leave well-enough alone.

490
00:37:01,300 --> 00:37:03,600
His damn ego.

491
00:37:03,700 --> 00:37:08,300
He didn't want to just be a hero.
He wanted to be a saint.

492
00:37:08,500 --> 00:37:10,700
But we both know
there are no saints on the battlements,...

493
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,600
- are there, Captain?
- No. Not really.

494
00:37:13,700 --> 00:37:17,000
The Volsung orbital
did not explode by accident.

495
00:37:17,100 --> 00:37:21,200
Lee ordered its destruction.
I know, I was there. We both agreed.

496
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:24,600
You let the super-men go,
and they'll come back stronger than before.

497
00:37:24,700 --> 00:37:30,100
There are no non-combatant Nietzscheans.
A three-year-old will disembowel a man.

498
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:34,800
What about the laborers?
The slaves?

499
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:38,000
Collateral damage.

500
00:37:38,100 --> 00:37:41,500
A small price to pay for freedom.

501
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:43,500
- Or so we thought.
- I don't believe you.

502
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:45,100
Oh, the record's clear, colonel.

503
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:48,900
Your hero, he had feet of clay...
bloody clay, at that.

504
00:37:49,100 --> 00:37:53,700
But even worse, he had a conscience.
If he had confessed,...

505
00:37:53,900 --> 00:37:56,300
...the air-breathers
would have demanded blood vengeance.

506
00:37:56,500 --> 00:38:01,200
The water-breathers, they would've resisted,
and we would've been faced with a civil war.

507
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:06,900
I tried to talk him out of it. I told him
he was putting too much trust in his people,

508
00:38:07,100 --> 00:38:10,800
but he...of course, he would not listen.

509
00:38:11,300 --> 00:38:14,100
He left me no choice.

510
00:38:14,300 --> 00:38:18,100
- I had to save the republic.
- By killing the man who created it.

511
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,500
You must let me go.

512
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:27,700
We can find someone else to blame
for Lee's murder, or leave it unsolved.

513
00:38:27,900 --> 00:38:34,200
But we can't let the truth come out.
It will destroy us all. Castalia and your Commonwealth.

514
00:38:35,100 --> 00:38:38,800
If you think I'll cooperate in a coverup,...

515
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:42,400
...you're mistaken.

516
00:38:42,500 --> 00:38:45,300
Colonel, your prisoner.

517
00:39:01,700 --> 00:39:04,700
That's a lifepod to your right.

518
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,500
You're letting me go.

519
00:39:09,900 --> 00:39:12,900
- No, you're trying to escape.
- What?

520
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:15,800
What are you doing?

521
00:39:15,900 --> 00:39:17,800
I wish you wouldn't.

522
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:21,500
- It'll only make things worse.
- It will make everything right.

523
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:25,200
I'll kill him, then confess to being guilty
to killing them both.

524
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:26,800
They'll believe me.

525
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:30,100
They never turn down a confession.
Especially from a breather.

526
00:39:30,300 --> 00:39:32,100
They'll execute you.

527
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:36,100
It's the only way to preserve the republic.

528
00:39:36,300 --> 00:39:39,100
I'm not going to let either of you
cover up a genocide.

529
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:43,400
If the Commonwealth stands for anything,
it stands for open process of the law.

530
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,600
And if the institutions of Sebastian Lee
can survive his death,...

531
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:49,900
...they certainly can survive the truth
about his life.

532
00:39:50,100 --> 00:39:52,100
And you...

533
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:57,000
...you've been fighting me all along,
demanding justice. Well, now you can have it.

534
00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:01,100
- But only if you let the truth come out.
- The truth?

535
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:08,100
The truth is that the man
that I loved like a father betrayed my people.

536
00:40:08,300 --> 00:40:14,200
I would have died for him!
He was a great man.

537
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:22,600
A great man who made a terrible mistake.

538
00:40:22,700 --> 00:40:25,700
And the people of Castalia should know that.

539
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:29,800
Nothing is more important than the truth.

540
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:32,400
Nothing.

541
00:40:43,500 --> 00:40:47,300
Parliament ratified the charter
with three votes to spare.

542
00:40:47,500 --> 00:40:52,000
- Another step toward a new Commonwealth.
- A rather large one.

543
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:55,300
I should think you would be pleased.

544
00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:00,400
I've been following the news reports.

545
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:04,400
Riots on some of the islands,
counter-demonstrations.

546
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:08,500
It'll probably blow over soon.

547
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:12,300
- Are you familiar with Aeschuylus?
- Ancient Earth, right? Greek tragedy?

548
00:41:12,500 --> 00:41:17,900
Very good.
I was thinking specifically of the Orestean Trilogy.

549
00:41:18,100 --> 00:41:21,500
The house of Atreus was cursed by the gods,

550
00:41:21,700 --> 00:41:23,800
condemned to murder
one another throughout history.

551
00:41:23,900 --> 00:41:27,700
Orestes mother killed his father.
He was forced to kill her in revenge.

552
00:41:27,900 --> 00:41:33,300
Forced to kill.
Much as Andromeda was forced to kill.

553
00:41:33,500 --> 00:41:35,900
Do you remember
how the curse was finally ended?

554
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,600
Apollo invented the jury trial.

555
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:41,900
- The jury found Orestes innocent.
- Indeed.

556
00:41:42,100 --> 00:41:46,700
The cycle was broken when public justice
replaced private vengeance,...

557
00:41:46,900 --> 00:41:49,800
...just as you are trying to do.

558
00:41:49,900 --> 00:41:53,300
There's only one problem
with your analogy, Rev.

559
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:59,200
Apollo was a god.
I'm just a man.

560
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:17,900
