1
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,300
Warning.
AP Valve Malfunction in the Reactor Chamber.
2
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,600
Repeat.
AP Valve Malfunction in the Reactor Chamber.
3
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:20,800
Bleed off excess anti-protons!
Initiate emergency venting!
4
00:00:20,900 --> 00:00:24,200
Initiating.
Fifteen seconds to overload.
5
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:25,500
Twelve seconds.
6
00:00:25,500 --> 00:00:26,600
Ten.
7
00:00:26,700 --> 00:00:27,800
Nine.
8
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:28,800
Eight.
9
00:00:28,900 --> 00:00:29,800
Seven.
10
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:30,900
Six.
11
00:00:30,900 --> 00:00:32,900
Surprise!
12
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:35,700
Happy Birthday
13
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:40,400
We got you! Oh, did we get him.
Look at his face. OK, you see that?
14
00:00:40,500 --> 00:00:43,800
THAT is why you don't tell him
a week ahead of time.
15
00:00:44,100 --> 00:00:47,500
- Who put you up to this?
- Harper overrode my emergency protocols.
16
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,600
He said it was necessary for the gag.
17
00:00:49,700 --> 00:00:52,300
What's the matter?
Didn't they have surprise parties in the High Guard?
18
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,800
Somehow they found a less stressful setup
than reactor meltdown.
19
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,600
Blow out the candles! Now!
20
00:00:58,700 --> 00:00:59,600
There's so many of them.
21
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,700
We've included the three 303 years
you spent frozen in time.
22
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,200
But don't worry.
You don't look a day over two hundred.
23
00:01:06,700 --> 00:01:10,100
Thank you. Sometimes I feel like it.
24
00:01:10,300 --> 00:01:15,900
- I think I'm gonna need some help here.
- Ready? One. Two. Three!
25
00:01:20,700 --> 00:01:24,000
May your next year bring you wisdom and kindness.
26
00:01:33,100 --> 00:01:35,300
- I hate them, too.
- What's that?
27
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:40,300
Birthdays. Every year there's more of them
behind and fewer ahead.
28
00:01:40,500 --> 00:01:45,000
Andromeda says you spent
your last birthday on Tarn Vedra.
29
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:51,500
It was at a ski resort
in the Avarix Mountains with Sarah.
30
00:01:51,700 --> 00:01:54,900
Dinner cost a Nightsider's ransom.
31
00:01:55,100 --> 00:01:58,200
I still can't believe
I know someone who's been to the Homeworld.
32
00:01:58,300 --> 00:02:02,500
- It's like having seen Atlantis.
- Tarn Vedra's no myth. I was born there.
33
00:02:02,700 --> 00:02:07,400
My mother was a High-G shuttle pilot,
my father worked at the Imperial Gardens.
34
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:12,100
And I...
I grew up in the a human quarter of Bishana Tarn.
35
00:02:12,300 --> 00:02:19,000
The architecture, the museums every day it was like
walking through ten thousand years of history.
36
00:02:19,300 --> 00:02:22,000
And now, well now it's...
37
00:02:22,100 --> 00:02:25,800
...now there's not a single slipstream route left
connecting Tarn Vedra to the rest of the universe.
38
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,100
It might as well be locked up in a steel box.
- Yeah.
39
00:02:29,300 --> 00:02:34,800
A steel box. A steel box with no key.
40
00:02:36,100 --> 00:02:39,300
What's going on?
41
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,700
Happy Birthday!
42
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,900
I...I'll just show you how to do it.
It's a little sticky.
43
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,100
Here you go.
44
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:02,100
- Slipstream routes.
- A key.
45
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,800
The map to Tarn Vedra.
46
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:11,000
Happy birthday, Dylan. You're going home.
47
00:03:15,100 --> 00:03:17,300
The long night has come
48
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:21,100
The system Commonwealth,
the greatest civilization was fall
49
00:03:21,300 --> 00:03:25,100
and now one ship, one crew are
about drive back the night,
50
00:03:25,300 --> 00:03:27,300
they'll gush up the light of civilization
51
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,400
on the starship Andromeda hope lives again
52
00:04:04,700 --> 00:04:07,400
IT MAKES A LOVELY LIGHT
53
00:04:07,500 --> 00:04:09,000
It's a lovely gesture, Beka.
54
00:04:09,100 --> 00:04:11,900
But you can't get to Tarn Vedra
from here from anywhere.
55
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,100
No one's found a viable slip-route to the Vedran
homeworld since the Commonwealth fell.
56
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:16,900
Ye of little faith.
57
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,700
Do you remember when Harper
and Trance stole the,...?
58
00:04:19,900 --> 00:04:24,700
ACQUIRED.
- Acquired the diary of Hasturi, the mad Perseid?
59
00:04:24,900 --> 00:04:29,300
Ah, yes. The only sentient to reach Tarn Vedra
since the fall. Or so he claimed.
60
00:04:29,500 --> 00:04:31,600
Hey, believe it or not,
I actually read that thing.
61
00:04:31,700 --> 00:04:35,000
The crap I went through to get that,
and it's total gibberish.
62
00:04:35,100 --> 00:04:37,700
Steer by the glow of the,...Cyclops' eye?
63
00:04:37,900 --> 00:04:42,000
It's half mystical mumbo-jumbo,
half putrid poetry, and half bad math.
64
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,100
That's three halves.
65
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:48,100
- Like I said: bad math.
- To you, maybe. But you're not a pilot.
66
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:52,700
Prune away all this bad poetry,
and you get this.
67
00:04:53,100 --> 00:04:56,100
The road to Tarn Vedra.
68
00:04:57,700 --> 00:04:59,400
Chapter one, verse one.
69
00:04:59,500 --> 00:05:02,100
I set a course for the swan palace
of lapis and gold.
70
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,300
The Capella system.
71
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,900
- A binary star one blue, one yellow.
- Lapis and gold.
72
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:14,100
It's all here. From Capella to Algareb to Seginus.
All the way to Tarn Vedra in forty-six easy steps.
73
00:05:14,300 --> 00:05:20,000
Slow down, Moses. Hardly easy.
This trail bisects a stellar nursery.
74
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,700
And it passes within twenty AU
of a collapsing quasar.
75
00:05:22,900 --> 00:05:25,800
Not to mention negotiating around
the twin cores of the Andromeda galaxy.
76
00:05:25,900 --> 00:05:29,400
Hasturi knew that all the normal routes
had been destroyed,...
77
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,600
...so he explored all the abnormal ones.
- Well, he certainly picked some beauties.
78
00:05:32,700 --> 00:05:34,900
Think of the shipyards.
79
00:05:34,900 --> 00:05:37,800
Imagine all the new parts
just waiting for Andromeda.
80
00:05:37,900 --> 00:05:42,100
And what would contacting the Vedran
homeworld do for a reunited Commonwealth?
81
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:46,200
- This could light a fire under our whole crusade.
- It's dangerous, Beka.
82
00:05:46,300 --> 00:05:49,000
Yeah. Maybe it is dangerous,...
83
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:53,600
...but someone once told me
that nothing worth doing is easy.
84
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,700
Hello, Tyr. What do you want?
85
00:06:11,900 --> 00:06:15,000
Command codes for the Eureka Maru.
86
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:20,800
As in my ship? Awwww...
did you wake up insane, or was it a slow onset?
87
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,000
I've given it some considerable thought,...
88
00:06:23,100 --> 00:06:27,300
...and I've decided that this quest of yours is
wrong-headed and most likely to prove fatal.
89
00:06:27,500 --> 00:06:32,500
So if it's all the same to you,
I prefer to wait it out on this...vessel,
90
00:06:32,700 --> 00:06:36,900
and if you survive, you can pick me up
and tell me all about Tarn Vedra.
91
00:06:37,100 --> 00:06:38,400
And here I thought you cared.
92
00:06:38,500 --> 00:06:44,900
I care enough not to want to watch you and Dylan
and the rest kill yourselves on some fools' crusade.
93
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:50,600
Tyr, do I strike you as some sort
of starry-eyed dreamer?
94
00:06:50,900 --> 00:06:54,900
No. In fact, most of the time,
you're admirably self-interested.
95
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:59,800
Well. This IS most of the time.
96
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,700
Wake up, Tyr. You think I'm going to Tarn
Vedra for the art galleries?
97
00:07:03,900 --> 00:07:05,800
That planet was not only the seat of government:
98
00:07:05,900 --> 00:07:08,500
it was also the home base
for the Commonwealth's military,...
99
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,100
...including its arms depots.
- Lovely.
100
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:19,700
So, the situation presents
some interesting possibilities.
101
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:25,300
Now, you wake up. No one's reached
Tarn Vedra in three hundred years,...
102
00:07:25,500 --> 00:07:31,000
...and better pilots than you have died trying.
- There are no better pilots than me.
103
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,900
Arms depots, eh?
104
00:07:40,100 --> 00:07:42,700
I knew that'd get your attention.
105
00:07:47,500 --> 00:07:51,800
Andromeda, do we have any nanobots
that can,... eat metal?
106
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,800
REALLY BIG chunks of metal. Like,...
I dunno, say...underground vaults, maybe?
107
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:03,500
Have you considered the possibility that
the Vedrans might not want you to loot their home?
108
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,900
And have you considered the possibility
that they may not even be there anymore?
109
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,800
For all we know, the place could be abandoned...
ripe for the pickin's.
110
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,400
And besides, it's not,...looting.
It's,... gleaning.
111
00:08:15,500 --> 00:08:20,700
There's a very fine line
between gleaning and pillaging.
112
00:08:20,900 --> 00:08:28,100
I believe one draws that line with a laser saw.
113
00:08:28,500 --> 00:08:35,500
I fear there is one possibility everyone
is overlooking in this mad dash for wealth and glory.
114
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:40,100
Vedrans are a very powerful and ancient race.
115
00:08:40,300 --> 00:08:44,100
They conquered known space, and they tamed it.
116
00:08:44,300 --> 00:08:51,000
What if Tarn Vedra was not cut off
from the slipstream at all?
117
00:08:51,300 --> 00:09:02,400
What if they cut themselves off?
And what if they don't want to be found?
118
00:09:08,700 --> 00:09:10,600
Beka.
119
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,600
Beka, are you in here?
120
00:09:14,500 --> 00:09:18,300
- Whoa! Sorry, I didn't realize you were,...
- No. No, it's fine, I was done.
121
00:09:18,500 --> 00:09:20,700
Have you made a decision, Dylan?
122
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:25,200
...oh yes! Right. Right!
...look, look, ...
123
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,800
Do you really think that you can do this?
124
00:09:27,900 --> 00:09:29,700
I wouldn't have volunteered
if I didn't think I could pull it off.
125
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:34,600
Yeah, well, see you know, I was,..., ...I was checking
your figure...I mean ...the...your FIGURES, and...
126
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,400
...seventy percent of our transit time
would be in the slipstream itself.
127
00:09:38,500 --> 00:09:41,000
And that's psychologically exhausting
under ideal conditions,...
128
00:09:41,100 --> 00:09:44,400
...and these routes that you're talking about
it's gonna be hard on the pilot.
129
00:09:44,500 --> 00:09:47,500
I mean, on ANY pilot.
I mean, look what it did to Hasturi.
130
00:09:47,700 --> 00:09:51,700
Yeah, but Hasturi was a Perseid. They're all
twitchy obsessive compulsives to begin with.
131
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,500
He was probably crazy before he started.
132
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,200
Look, Dylan, I can do this.
I know I can.
133
00:09:59,300 --> 00:10:01,700
Nothing worth doing...
134
00:10:03,900 --> 00:10:07,700
OK. Let's give it a shot.
Report to command.
135
00:10:07,900 --> 00:10:11,200
Oh,..., take your time.
I mean...I...as you were.
136
00:10:17,100 --> 00:10:19,300
Hey! You think it's on Tarn Vedra, don't you?
137
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,600
- The Engine of...
- Seamus, Ix-Nay.
138
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,600
- Right. Right. But it's there, isn't it?
- Maybe. We'll see.
139
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,900
The face of the Divine.
140
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,100
Come again?
141
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,600
The Andromeda Galaxy.
142
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:38,000
If the universe
is a manifestation of the Divine,...
143
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:43,000
...could not the slipstream
be the very mind of God?
144
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:47,500
Well, if that's the case, I'm afraid God
had a seizure and forgot all about Tarn Vedra.
145
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,400
And here comes God's little brain surgeon.
146
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,800
- Beka! Some humility, please!
- Yeah, I tried that once. I didn't like it.
147
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,600
Like they say:
In the slipstream, confidence is everything.
148
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,700
Apparently.
149
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,800
All right, Beka.
Let's do this.
150
00:11:07,900 --> 00:11:12,600
Transiting to slipstream.
Three. Two. One.
151
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:34,100
Welcome to Capella.
Hello, Capella. Goodbye, Capella.
152
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,700
Hello and goodbye, Algareb.
153
00:12:33,900 --> 00:12:36,400
On screen. Full magnification.
154
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,100
That's the Seginus System.
155
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:45,500
Or as Hasturi put it,
the Sockets of Twelve Ax-Handles.
156
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:49,400
Ten down, thirty-six to go.
157
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,300
She is a remarkable pilot.
158
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,200
And you're surprised?
159
00:12:58,300 --> 00:13:01,600
Hey, I'm choosy about who I work for, you know.
160
00:13:03,700 --> 00:13:06,300
So am I.
161
00:13:09,300 --> 00:13:11,700
Ten jumps, no waiting. Good work, Beka.
162
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:12,900
It was a snap.
163
00:13:12,900 --> 00:13:15,900
For you, maybe, but Rev looks like hell
164
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,000
well, worse than he normally does
and even I'm feeling the strain.
165
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,700
I think we'll rest here in normal space for a while.
- What?
166
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,100
And break our momentum?
No, I'm fi...Look! I...Look!
167
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:28,100
Tarn Vedra's been lost for three hundred years.
We do not have to find it this morning.
168
00:13:28,300 --> 00:13:30,300
Go.
169
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,600
Going.
170
00:13:57,700 --> 00:14:01,400
So, where are we now?
171
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,500
That's Epsilon Bel.
It's an X-Ray pulsar.
172
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,400
See how she blinks on and off?
173
00:14:07,500 --> 00:14:09,900
Hasturi called that the eye of the blinded Cyclops.
174
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,900
Hasturi makes a lot of references
to the ancient Earth epic, the Odyssey.
175
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,100
Except when he confuses
his Vedrans with his centaurs,...
176
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:19,300
...and then he just veers right off of Homer
and starts quoting Einstrom Becksman.
177
00:14:19,500 --> 00:14:22,100
The Hawks of Scaroth.
Majestic.
178
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,300
If you like beheadings.
179
00:14:24,500 --> 00:14:27,800
I'm beginning to think this may actually work.
180
00:14:27,900 --> 00:14:30,900
Oh, I see.
So you doubted me up 'til now?
181
00:14:31,100 --> 00:14:38,700
Beka, you wound me.
I doubt you never.
182
00:14:40,700 --> 00:14:42,500
Wiseguy.
183
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:57,800
Yes!
184
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:04,600
Whoo!
185
00:15:16,900 --> 00:15:19,900
OK, whatever that was, I know it wasn't good.
Beka?
186
00:15:20,100 --> 00:15:22,400
It's ok. It's all under control.
187
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:31,700
(Polymer web.)
188
00:15:31,700 --> 00:15:34,100
We certainly are.
Andromeda, determine our exact location.
189
00:15:34,300 --> 00:15:37,700
I know our location.
We're in between Scylla and Charybdis.
190
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,000
Halfway between Andromeda galaxy's two cores.
191
00:15:40,100 --> 00:15:43,500
And the twin black holes at their centers.
192
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:48,700
Tell you what. Let's skip the formalities
and move on to our next destination, ok?
193
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:50,500
Aye-aye.
194
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,400
Sorry.
195
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,100
- Damn it!
- And that would mean there's a problem.
196
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:05,700
I can't find the way into slipstream.
It's like the entire area is a gravitational riptide.
197
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,600
I think we're stuck.
198
00:16:17,700 --> 00:16:19,800
OK, Harper, dazzle me.
199
00:16:19,900 --> 00:16:23,700
We are here. On your left will be a black hole
we'll call, say, ..., "rock".
200
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,300
And on your right, one we'll call "hard place".
201
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,300
Now, for those of you
who are feeling a little torn,...
202
00:16:28,300 --> 00:16:30,800
...the, uh, mass of your average
galactic core super-black hole...
203
00:16:30,900 --> 00:16:33,600
...is equal to about a hundred million suns.
204
00:16:33,700 --> 00:16:36,900
And we are trapped jam smack dab
right between two of 'em.
205
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,200
So, you can forget about
finding a slipstream portal.
206
00:16:39,300 --> 00:16:43,100
One wrong move, and we are talking entire
planets being ripped to molecular shreds.
207
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,000
I can get us out.
208
00:16:45,300 --> 00:16:49,200
If I can just find the sweet spot
between the two gravitational cores,...
209
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,300
...they'll neutralize each other.
210
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:55,300
- "IF" being the operative word.
- Theoretically, Dylan, she is correct.
211
00:16:55,500 --> 00:16:58,800
If we're off course by even a few kilometers,
we're history.
212
00:16:58,900 --> 00:17:02,600
We both knew the risks when we started out.
I can do this.
213
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:09,800
I'm not doubting you, Beka.
I'm just looking to maximize the odds.
214
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,300
Harper,
I want you to optimize the control interface...
215
00:17:12,300 --> 00:17:15,000
...and see if you can eke a better performance
out of the slipstream drive.
216
00:17:15,100 --> 00:17:17,600
Rommie, work out worse case scenarios.
And you...
217
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,100
...take a break.
You're exhausted and I need you sharp.
218
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,900
- I'm fine.
- It's not a debate.
219
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,500
Beka?
220
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:39,500
Trance?
221
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,400
Trance, I didn't know you were in here.
222
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,000
Yeah. Yeah.
223
00:17:46,100 --> 00:17:50,700
It's just...all that time in slipstream
really gives me a headache.
224
00:17:50,900 --> 00:17:53,100
Wouldn't you be more comfortable
in Andromeda's crew quarters?
225
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:54,700
I guess so.
It's just,...
226
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:59,400
...you know, my favorite plants are here,
and it kinda feels like my bed. Is that silly?
227
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,000
Nope.
I know exactly what you mean.
228
00:18:02,100 --> 00:18:05,100
You know, you look kind of tired.
Maybe you should take a nap, too.
229
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,600
Instant nap. Just add water.
230
00:18:07,900 --> 00:18:09,100
Oh.
231
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,400
- Are you sure? Because...
- Trance, stop.
232
00:18:11,500 --> 00:18:14,900
I know what I'm doing.
Everything's gonna be fine. OK?
233
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:20,900
I don't,...I don't, I'm not...feeling...good.
234
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,000
Trance?
235
00:18:24,300 --> 00:18:28,300
I can't explain it.
Perhaps it's our proximity to the galactic core.
236
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:32,400
Radiation, gravitational flux,
the tidal forces of those twin singularities...
237
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,000
Rev! Spill it.
238
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,600
Trance's physiology is as alien
as anything I have ever seen.
239
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:43,100
Whatever energy flow she has is fading rapidly.
240
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:47,000
Beka, I'm afraid we're losing her.
241
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:48,900
Let me sit with her for a minute.
242
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,800
You go pray for a speedy recovery
or whatever it is you do.
243
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:58,400
Divine compassion is stronger medicine
than you know. I will go pray for her.
244
00:19:02,700 --> 00:19:07,900
- Andromeda, give us a minute, please.
- Privacy mode engaged.
245
00:19:22,100 --> 00:19:24,300
What are you doing?
246
00:19:24,900 --> 00:19:26,400
Trance, you're up.
247
00:19:26,900 --> 00:19:29,400
What are you doing with the medicine?
248
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,200
Acetylcholine, neurostimulant?
You're making flash?
249
00:19:33,300 --> 00:19:35,300
I know what I'm doing.
250
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,600
- Trance, I have to get us out of here.
- But flash...
251
00:19:37,700 --> 00:19:41,400
...will boost my reaction time and help me anticipate
changes in the stream. It's what it was made for.
252
00:19:41,500 --> 00:19:44,000
But you can't do that.
It's so bad for you.
253
00:19:44,100 --> 00:19:48,800
No. No, I'll be fine.
Everything's gonna be ok.
254
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,400
I'll take care of everything, Trance.
I promise.
255
00:19:55,500 --> 00:19:57,900
Let's get you back to bed.
256
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:38,800
Status?
257
00:20:38,900 --> 00:20:41,400
The tidal forces of the galactic core
are still too strong.
258
00:20:41,500 --> 00:20:43,600
We need to go a little further
before we can enter slipstream.
259
00:20:43,700 --> 00:20:46,500
Steady as she goes.
Maximum PSL.
260
00:20:48,900 --> 00:20:50,100
Hey, Dylan.
261
00:20:50,100 --> 00:20:52,400
Hi, Beka. How's Trance?
262
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:56,700
Not great. But I'm better.
All I needed was a catnap.
263
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:58,400
I'm impressed.
264
00:20:58,500 --> 00:21:02,500
Well, don't be. I'm the one that got us
in this predicament in the first place.
265
00:21:02,700 --> 00:21:04,800
The least I can do is get us out.
266
00:21:04,900 --> 00:21:07,900
Just make sure that we're clear of the core
before you stream.
267
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:12,400
You're telling me to tiptoe back out of here.
I can do that. I will do that.
268
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,800
Don't break my ship.
269
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,500
- We're clear.
- We're clear.
270
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,400
- Stream away.
- Stream away.
271
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,400
Trance! Trance!
272
00:21:53,800 --> 00:22:00,200
Trance! Oh, you're awake. Thank the Divine.
273
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,800
Good work, Beka. You have my thanks.
That was very impressive.
274
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,100
- It was nothin'.
- No, I mean it.
275
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,200
Suddenly you could do no wrong.
276
00:22:11,300 --> 00:22:14,600
We didn't even upgrade the equipment
or recalibrate the controls.
277
00:22:14,700 --> 00:22:19,300
Oh, I see. So you get pilot error,
but you have no room for pilot excellence.
278
00:22:19,500 --> 00:22:23,900
Can't you just accept the fact that I'm good?
Maybe just as good as Captain Terrific himself?
279
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,600
Excuse me?
280
00:22:26,700 --> 00:22:29,900
Sorry. Sorry, I'm stressed.
281
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,100
Tell you what.
282
00:22:32,700 --> 00:22:37,500
Why don't we just stay here in normal space
for a while and let Andromeda give you a spell. OK?
283
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:39,800
Yeah. Yeah.
284
00:22:42,500 --> 00:22:45,800
A break will do me good.
Gives me a chance to maybe read the little mystery...
285
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:50,000
HEY! My guys bled for that!
My score!
286
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,800
Hey, Beka!
Mind telling me what that was all about?
287
00:22:56,900 --> 00:23:01,400
Sorry. I am sorry.
I,... you're right. I...
288
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,300
...I'm pushing myself too hard.
I really need a break.
289
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:08,000
Damn right you do. You've been slip-piloting for
16 hours nonstop. No one can keep up that pace.
290
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:12,400
Yeah. I can. I can do it. Dylan, I...
I was born in the slipstream. I can do this.
291
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,600
It's just, ..., it's exactly what you said.
I, ..., I need a break.
292
00:23:15,700 --> 00:23:20,100
I need a break and it'll be...it'll be fine.
You'll see. You'll see.
293
00:23:44,700 --> 00:23:50,900
Boss? I just wanted to come by and tell you
I have the utmost,...confidence in your ability to...
294
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:52,700
What in the name of the Vedran Empress?!?
295
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:58,900
- Walk away. You were never here.
- You're doing flash. I don't believe it. Flash?
296
00:23:59,700 --> 00:24:02,300
Beka, come on.
You know what that stuff does to people.
297
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,000
People kill over that stuff
their family and friends.
298
00:24:05,100 --> 00:24:08,100
Did you know that 82% of people
on prison planets are flash addicts?
299
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,400
Do you know what?
They tell you that kind of stuff just to scare you.
300
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,600
Sure.
To scare you out of killing your neighbors.
301
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:17,400
Look, I'm not gonna pretend this crap is good
for me. I know first-hand what flash can...
302
00:24:20,700 --> 00:24:22,800
I'm using miniscule doses.
303
00:24:22,900 --> 00:24:25,700
For a limited time.
It's medicine, and it's working.
304
00:24:25,700 --> 00:24:27,400
You saw, you heard what Dylan said.
305
00:24:27,500 --> 00:24:29,600
If it's such good medicine,
why don't you tell Dylan?
306
00:24:29,700 --> 00:24:33,300
Because Dylan is Dylan.
Dylan wouldn't cheat on his FTA dues.
307
00:24:33,500 --> 00:24:36,500
Besides, it's none of his business
what I put in my bloodstream.
308
00:24:37,300 --> 00:24:40,300
Fine. It's your brain. But...
309
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:44,000
...I don't like to see you like this, Rebecca.
I'm just trying to help.
310
00:24:44,100 --> 00:24:48,400
Then leave. Then just leave.
Leave! And let me do my job!
311
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:53,600
You know, Harper, I've saved your skin before,
and I'll save it again.
312
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:55,700
But you have got to get off my back...
313
00:24:55,800 --> 00:25:00,000
...or SO HELP ME, I will drop you back
on the trash heap where I found you!
314
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,500
OK.
315
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:17,800
Beka! Did you have a good rest.
316
00:25:17,900 --> 00:25:23,500
I've had an epiphany.
Rommie, diagram our last nine transits.
317
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,000
Processing.
318
00:25:28,900 --> 00:25:31,900
Hasturi called that the Belt of Orion.
319
00:25:32,500 --> 00:25:34,200
...Orion is in the Milky Way.
320
00:25:34,300 --> 00:25:36,800
We're two million light-years from there.
321
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,800
YES! But Hasturi was a lunatic!
The point...!
322
00:25:40,900 --> 00:25:48,400
The point is, we're back on track.
I can still get us to Tarn Vedra.
323
00:25:49,900 --> 00:25:53,800
Beka, that route takes us within 5 light-minutes
of a charged plasma nebula.
324
00:25:53,900 --> 00:25:56,000
The Black Goat with a Thousand Young.
Yeah, yeah.
325
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,200
And I'll have us out of there in one hot second.
326
00:25:58,300 --> 00:26:02,100
Not good enough.
Rommie, plot a course back to the galactic fringe.
327
00:26:03,500 --> 00:26:04,800
...did you hear me?
328
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,800
I..I just finished saying we don't have
to turn around. I can do it.
329
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:12,600
I can get us there in twelve transits.
Ten!
330
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:19,200
...Boss? I...I...
I abstain.
331
00:26:19,500 --> 00:26:22,400
Beka, I appreciate your dedication,...
332
00:26:22,500 --> 00:26:25,700
...and I have confidence in your abilities,
but I don't buy your math...
333
00:26:25,900 --> 00:26:28,600
...You can't finesse a risk/benefit ratio.
- I agree.
334
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,600
The dangers significantly outweigh
the potential rewards.
335
00:26:31,700 --> 00:26:36,100
OK, I expect this kind of thing
from Mr. Self-Preservation, here.
336
00:26:36,300 --> 00:26:39,400
But you!
Dylan, I thought you had guts.
337
00:26:39,500 --> 00:26:43,500
You're under a lot of strain,
which is why I've cut you a lot of slack.
338
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,400
But I think it's time you left the bridge
and went back to your quarters, now.
339
00:26:46,500 --> 00:26:49,500
Is that an order, Captain, My Captain?
340
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:53,700
Oh, I forgot.
Actually, you're not a real captain, are you?
341
00:26:53,900 --> 00:26:58,000
There's no High Guard!
There's no commissioned officers.
342
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:03,000
Who around here is an ACTUAL captain?
Don't tell me, let me guess...
343
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,300
...Just...it's coming to me, it's coming to me.
Let's see...that would be,...ME!
344
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,000
That's enough!
345
00:27:08,100 --> 00:27:12,700
This is my ship, and when you're on my ship, you will
comport yourself like the captain you claim to be!
346
00:27:12,900 --> 00:27:15,700
Reasoning with her will do little good.
347
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:19,500
She's under the influence of mind-altering drugs.
348
00:27:21,100 --> 00:27:24,000
- What?
- What?!? Heh.
349
00:27:24,100 --> 00:27:28,000
- Says who, Uber?
- CAPTAIN Valentine,...
350
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,200
...I can hear your heartbeat racing.
351
00:27:31,300 --> 00:27:36,600
I can see the sheen of perspiration
and smell the adrenaline fueling it.
352
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:38,600
Tell me,...
353
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:44,600
...did you think that Nietzschean vision would be unable
to distinguish between a human cornea and a contact lens?
354
00:27:44,900 --> 00:27:48,100
Beka, flash?
What are you...Are you insane?
355
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:52,700
What...it's not what you...Everybody needs it.
Besides!...
356
00:27:52,900 --> 00:27:55,500
...I thought you made your own rules,
Mr. Beyond Good and Evil.
357
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,000
This hasn't a thing to do with good or evil.
358
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:02,700
Drugs create dependency.
Dependency is weakness, and weakness is death.
359
00:28:02,900 --> 00:28:05,200
Tyr, you could've told me earlier.
360
00:28:05,300 --> 00:28:07,300
It was working.
361
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,600
And Mr. Harper, I'm sure you were well aware.
362
00:28:13,900 --> 00:28:17,300
- She's flash-fried and freeze-dried.
- You're gonna pay for this, Harper!
363
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,700
- Beka, you are relieved of duty.
- What?
364
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:21,100
Now, give it to me.
365
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,000
Who's gonna fly you out of this mess if not me?
I'm your best pilot.
366
00:28:24,100 --> 00:28:28,400
You should be thankful that I can't court-martial you.
Now, give me the bottle.
367
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:32,700
Fine.
368
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,100
Catch.
369
00:28:38,900 --> 00:28:40,700
Sorry.
370
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:45,700
Brace for slipstream!
371
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,500
Medical alert.
Patient condition critical.
372
00:29:18,900 --> 00:29:24,200
Tyr, escort Captain Valentine to V-deck.
373
00:29:33,900 --> 00:29:36,500
That's the last time I go to the mat for you guys!
374
00:29:36,700 --> 00:29:39,000
Dependency is weakness, weakness is death.
375
00:29:39,100 --> 00:29:42,800
You know what, Tyr? You know what?
I got two words for you...
376
00:29:42,900 --> 00:29:48,700
...Anabolic...Steroids! Oh, yeah, I forgot.
377
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,100
You're Mr. Pure and Natural, aren't you?
378
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,600
Yeah. You're,...
too good for human women, that's for sure.
379
00:29:54,700 --> 00:29:57,000
Beka, is there anything you need?
380
00:29:57,100 --> 00:29:58,900
Yeah...a door key.
381
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,600
I was thinking more along the lines of a light supper.
382
00:30:01,700 --> 00:30:06,400
Food? No! No...
Maybe water. Or maybe a lemonade.
383
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:10,300
Yeah! Yeah, yeah.
A lemonade would be great.
384
00:30:10,500 --> 00:30:12,100
I'll see what I can do.
385
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,300
Ok. I'll be right here.
386
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:27,500
OK, Andromeda.
Give me what you can.
387
00:30:33,700 --> 00:30:35,600
Come on.
388
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:47,700
Yeah, I know.
389
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:58,300
Trance? Welcome back...
390
00:30:58,500 --> 00:31:04,300
...At least one of my patients is improving.
- Who else is sick?
391
00:31:04,500 --> 00:31:09,100
Beka. She...
- Took flash.
392
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:14,100
I saw her stealing the ingredients.
I tried to stop her.
393
00:31:14,300 --> 00:31:18,300
You must not blame yourself for Beka's actions.
394
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:20,200
Then neither can you.
395
00:31:20,300 --> 00:31:22,900
Well, I...I never said I was.
396
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:27,700
No, you didn't. But you thought it.
I know you, Rev.
397
00:31:27,900 --> 00:31:33,200
You always try to say the right thing
so people will see things the right way,...
398
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,000
...and then they'll always end up
making the right choices.
399
00:31:36,100 --> 00:31:39,800
Yes, I suppose I do.
400
00:31:40,500 --> 00:31:46,500
Sometimes, you just have to allow people
to make the mistakes they need to make.
401
00:31:49,300 --> 00:31:52,000
Thank you.
402
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,000
My hair hurts.
403
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:07,200
You are withdrawing from a very powerful drug.
404
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:12,700
It's bound to be uncomfortable.
- Uncomfortable?
405
00:32:12,900 --> 00:32:16,500
Rev, every nerve ending is on fire.
406
00:32:16,700 --> 00:32:20,300
My skull is two sizes too small.
407
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:24,500
I want to rip my skin off with my fingernails.
408
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,100
I was thinking...
409
00:32:30,100 --> 00:32:37,300
...maybe it would be better
to taper off slowly, you know? Safer.
410
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:42,900
I just need you to get me a couple of drops.
I promise. I promise, just a taste.
411
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:50,700
Beka, this will not end your pain.
It will merely postpone it.
412
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:56,900
It's funny. I'm always the one
that has it all together.
413
00:32:57,100 --> 00:33:02,600
But right now, I just...
I just feel shattered into a million pieces.
414
00:33:02,900 --> 00:33:11,400
I have always believed the Divine
loves us best at the broken times.
415
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,000
Well, I'm a pilot.
416
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:19,700
And no one ever loved me best for screwing up.
417
00:33:22,900 --> 00:33:24,900
Everything's redlining, boss.
418
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:28,200
If I give the engines any more power,
they'll explode.
419
00:33:28,500 --> 00:33:31,100
OK, let's bring it.
420
00:33:31,700 --> 00:33:36,900
Brace for slipstream everyone.
This isn't going to be fun.
421
00:33:51,900 --> 00:33:53,700
Nicely done.
422
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,800
That unfamiliar sound you hear
is me exhaling with relief.
423
00:33:56,900 --> 00:34:01,900
You took us 15 light years from the gravity well.
We've almost cleared the core.
424
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:07,400
Why are we headed toward Tarn Vedra?
I thought you wanted to turn back.
425
00:34:07,500 --> 00:34:13,300
I do. I was heading in the opposite direction.
That wasn't me.
426
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:17,400
The ship transited all by itself.
427
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:29,400
Joke's on you, Sparky. Five more jumps.
Five more jumps, Sparky!
428
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,300
And we're home free.
429
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:45,200
- Tyr, report.
- Give me a plasma cannon...
430
00:34:45,300 --> 00:34:47,400
...and some shake-charges.
I'll have her out of there in five minutes.
431
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:51,000
If we spook her, she could drop us right
into a supernova. We have to find another way.
432
00:34:51,100 --> 00:34:56,000
What I want to know is how my security system
was fooled into thinking command
had been destroyed in battle.
433
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:59,600
It's the only way she could control me
from the slipstream core.
434
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:04,600
Well. Rommie,
you remember when we first met you?
435
00:35:04,700 --> 00:35:08,000
When you tried to highjack me?
Yes, Harper, I remember it well.
436
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,200
You were open salvage!
437
00:35:10,300 --> 00:35:13,900
Besides, we didn't know there'd be any
High Guard leftovers on board. No offense, Dylan.
438
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,400
You installed overrides to bypass
Andromeda's security system.
439
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:20,000
Overrides which you said you disconnected!
440
00:35:20,100 --> 00:35:25,500
Overrides which, if memory serves, and it always does,
you disconnected under my personal supervision!
441
00:35:25,700 --> 00:35:29,500
OK, so maybe I didn't disconnect
every single little override.
442
00:35:29,700 --> 00:35:33,300
I mean, we had only met you.
Dylan was all very impressive, and,...
443
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,800
...for the most part we were buying
this restore the Commonwealth game, but,...
444
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:41,100
...for all we knew, he coulda been some whacko
trying to take us on some insane quest.
445
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,900
Yeah. Yeah, like finding Tarn Vedra.
446
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:48,100
OK, so we're paranoid. So sue us.
We needed a Plan B. You always have a Plan B.
447
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:52,000
Yes, but my Plan B's WORK.
448
00:36:02,700 --> 00:36:04,000
Hey, Beka, it's Dylan.
449
00:36:04,100 --> 00:36:07,900
- If you're trying to bypass security, forget it.
- No, no. I just,...I just want to talk.
450
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:12,100
Sorry, I'm just a little busy right now.
I have to smooth out this interface a titch.
451
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,200
- You want some help?
- Yeah! Yeah, that's a great idea.
452
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:20,000
Why don't you just come on in and you can take over.
You can turn us around and scamper on home.
453
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:23,200
- Oh, so you're still trying to get to Tarn Vedra.
- What do you think, Dylan? I...
454
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,900
...that I'd get you a birthday present
and then just take it back?
455
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:32,400
"I'm sorry, Rocket. I needed it.
But I'll get you another one, I promise."
456
00:36:32,700 --> 00:36:34,900
- Who called you Rocket?
- Like you don't know.
457
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:38,400
Pretend I don't.
- Look, I'm not my father, ok?
458
00:36:38,500 --> 00:36:41,900
I'm not an addict.
I can stop any time I want.
459
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:46,000
- Then why don't you?
- Because I made a promise.
460
00:36:46,100 --> 00:36:51,800
And this Valentine keeps her promises.
Now, excuse me,...
461
00:36:52,100 --> 00:36:55,200
...I've got work to do.
- Damn it!
462
00:36:55,700 --> 00:36:57,400
Boss, she cut the comm link.
463
00:36:57,500 --> 00:36:59,700
Then find a way around it.
Andromeda, status.
464
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:02,400
Beka's last heading is taking us
too close to the quasar.
465
00:37:02,500 --> 00:37:05,900
I can't even activate the neutrino dampers
with her re-routing the helm.
466
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,800
You have to get her out of there.
467
00:37:16,700 --> 00:37:18,800
Beka!
468
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,000
Hey, Dylan. Fancy meeting you here.
469
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:24,600
You have to turn around. Getting to Tarn Vedra
is not worth sacrificing my ship.
470
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:28,100
Give up? Uh-uh. No. Not me.
I don't give up.
471
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:31,900
I may not be good for much,
but you can always count on me to keep my word.
472
00:37:32,100 --> 00:37:34,500
You've got nothing to prove!
You're one of the best starship pilots I...
473
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:38,700
What? You call that slagheap a starship?
474
00:37:38,900 --> 00:37:41,400
Frankly, I think it's a miracle
you keep it flying at all.
475
00:37:41,500 --> 00:37:42,600
I know.
476
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:46,300
And if I can get that bucket of bolts to fly,
just imagine what I can do with the Andromeda.
477
00:37:46,500 --> 00:37:51,900
I can get you all the way home!
- Beka, my home died a long time ago.
478
00:37:52,100 --> 00:37:55,000
Radiation level exceeding safety limits.
479
00:37:55,900 --> 00:37:58,200
Access code Zelazney-Seven-Four-Niner!
480
00:38:02,300 --> 00:38:04,300
Beka, let him go!
481
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:09,500
You bastard! You're just like the rest of 'em!
You'll say anything to get what you want!
482
00:38:09,700 --> 00:38:12,400
You know me better than that.
I want to help you.
483
00:38:12,500 --> 00:38:17,700
Oh, crap! You want to ditch me.
You want to ... me.
484
00:38:19,500 --> 00:38:22,800
Beka, look at yourself! Look!
Look what you've become!
485
00:38:23,700 --> 00:38:28,000
Listen, Beka,
I'm trying to stop you from killing yourself.
486
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:32,500
I've lost four thousand people from my original crew.
Four thousand!
487
00:38:32,700 --> 00:38:36,000
I will be damned if I'm gonna lose one more.
488
00:38:36,300 --> 00:38:38,900
Not like this, Beka.
489
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,400
Not like this.
490
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,500
Just let me try one more time.
491
00:38:44,700 --> 00:38:48,200
One more dose,
and I can jump us all the way...
492
00:38:48,300 --> 00:38:50,800
...into a sun or a black hole.
493
00:38:50,900 --> 00:38:52,300
Beka.
494
00:38:52,300 --> 00:38:59,100
Beka! The flash is affecting your judgment.
If you listen to it, it will kill you.
495
00:38:59,900 --> 00:39:02,500
Radiation level approaching critical.
496
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:06,400
I won't. I won't. I won't die.
497
00:39:07,700 --> 00:39:10,000
Are you sure?
498
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:14,200
No.
499
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:17,500
Take it.
500
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:19,800
Oh, man, she's overdosing.
501
00:39:19,900 --> 00:39:21,700
- Take it.
- Harper.
502
00:39:21,700 --> 00:39:27,000
Dylan, radiation levels are critical.
We have to get out of here. Now!
503
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:55,200
- What has she done.
- Radiation levels are normal.
504
00:39:56,600 --> 00:40:02,800
Dylan, we've transited back to the galactic fringe.
We made it.
505
00:40:03,500 --> 00:40:07,500
Good. Good.
506
00:40:21,100 --> 00:40:24,800
Captain Valentine.
It's good to have you back.
507
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:29,700
- I guess I didn't get us to Tarn Vedra.
- No.
508
00:40:29,900 --> 00:40:33,200
- Did I wreck the ship?
- You came damn close.
509
00:40:36,100 --> 00:40:38,500
- Trance. Is she...?
- She's fine.
510
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:40,900
So's Rev.
511
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:44,200
Oh my god, I shot Rev.
512
00:40:44,300 --> 00:40:48,300
I think the betrayal hurt him more
than the actual injury itself.
513
00:40:49,300 --> 00:40:52,300
Flash might be good for your reflexes,
but it's murder on your disposition.
514
00:40:52,500 --> 00:40:56,300
Flash isn't good for anything, Beka.
You almost killed yourself.
515
00:40:56,400 --> 00:41:00,800
If you had been in the Maru, you would have died.
Andromeda barely pulled you through.
516
00:41:01,300 --> 00:41:03,900
I saw you, Beka.
517
00:41:04,500 --> 00:41:08,800
You liked being on flash.
I mean it filled some kind of need in you.
518
00:41:08,900 --> 00:41:10,700
And even when it was killing you, you wanted more.
519
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:13,800
Rommie may have been able to clean
the chemicals out of your blood, but...
520
00:41:13,900 --> 00:41:17,200
...she can't fix that want or that need.
521
00:41:17,300 --> 00:41:21,500
So from now on,
every morning I'll wake up thinking about flash.
522
00:41:21,700 --> 00:41:26,000
And every night I'll go to bed thinking about flash.
Is that it?
523
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:32,300
What do you know,
I'm my father after all.
524
00:41:33,100 --> 00:41:37,300
In the High Guard,
we pledged to hold the line against the night.
525
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:39,600
That's what the Commonwealth meant.
526
00:41:39,700 --> 00:41:42,000
And on this ship,...
527
00:41:42,100 --> 00:41:44,100
...the Commonwealth still exists.
528
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:46,000
On this ship,...
529
00:41:46,100 --> 00:41:50,100
...we hold the line against the darkness in all of us.
- I know.
530
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:52,900
Dylan, I know.
531
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:56,900
I'm gonna have to fight it every day
for the rest of my life.
532
00:41:57,100 --> 00:41:59,300
And I'll be with you...
533
00:42:00,300 --> 00:42:03,100
...every step of the way.
534
00:42:09,100 --> 00:42:12,500
