00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:31,200
Tyr!
4
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,600
- It's a coat of arms.
- The distress call said pirates, these guys aren't pirates.
5
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,200
So who are we fighting?
6
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,800
Warning. Reactor overload. Critical function.
7
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:45,600
Andromeda, how long 'till the ship breaks apart?
8
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:50,640
Detecting hull breeches on decks four and five.
Based on current crack propagation,
I estimate eight point two five minutes.
9
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,200
- We still have time to find the crew.
- Hold on, that was an estimate.
10
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,840
- We leave and there are survivors, they'll die.
- If this explodes and we're still on it, WE'll die.
11
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:58,640
Beka, get the ship ready,
we'll be back in seven minutes.
12
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,640
Just hurry, I hate it when my men are late.
13
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:06,480
Warning. Reactor overload. Critical function.
14
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:12,840
I warn you!
15
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:22,320
Clear?
16
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,400
Tell them that!
17
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,680
This is Captain Dylan Hunt of the Andromeda Ascend....
18
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,580
- Apparently they've heard of you.
- Hold you fire!
19
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,480
We're here to help.
20
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:59,120
It appears we're a little late.
21
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,480
- Get away from us.
- Put it down, we're here to help.
22
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,280
- I'm Captain Dylan Hunt.
- I'm Tyr Anasazi.
23
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:12,840
Dylan Hunt?
24
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,000
Erik, drop the gun.
25
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,280
Father, no. We can't trust them.
26
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,640
Do as I say!
27
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:38,960
This fellow's alive.
Apparently the rest weren't so lucky.
28
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:40,680
Tell me.
29
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,680
You've lost a lot of blood.
30
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,360
For my son.
31
00:03:02,920 --> 00:03:06,920
Dylan Hunt, Tyr Anasazi, I've...
32
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:16,920
...I appoint you coregents to my son.
Advise him well.
33
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,440
Long live...
34
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,080
Father!
35
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:27,520
Father!!!
36
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:37,760
He is the last gardian of a fallen civilization,
a hero from another time.
37
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,600
Face to the univers and chaos,
Dylan Hunt recrute an unlikely crew...
38
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,160
...and sets out to reunite the galaxies.
39
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:48,280
On the starship Andromeda hope lives again.
40
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,160
.
41
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:38,160
We tried to out run them,
but someone sabotaged our slipstream drive.
42
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:46,600
Everyone I knew was on that ship. My father,
my brothers and sisters, our servants. Everyone.
43
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,480
And this would be?
44
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,040
Yanos,...
45
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,960
...my family's retainer, my friend.
46
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:59,000
- You've got to save him.
- We'll do the best we can.
47
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:03,000
On the subject of saving,
who were your attackers?
48
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:07,800
- They were shock troops of the house of Constantijn.
- Your distress call said pirates.
49
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,000
Constantijn is a pirate.
A traitor.
50
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:15,800
He and the five barons butchered
millions of our people during their revolt.
51
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:20,080
And now they have murdered my family,...
52
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:26,240
...and Yanos is all I have left.
53
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:36,240
After the fall, Ne'Holland was one of the fist planets
invaded by the Magog.
They overwhelmed the planet then moved on.
54
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,840
After thy left, Ne'Holland experienced almost
a century of anarchy and civil war.
55
00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:44,840
- Until Vincent the first...
- My great, great, great grandfather.
56
00:05:44,840 --> 00:05:47,440
Declared himself King,
conquered his rivals and united the planet.
57
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:52,200
My family has ruled Ne'Holland
for over two hundred years.
58
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,000
We made our world stable and prosperous.
59
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,400
Which is no doubt why house Constantijn wants you dead.
60
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:58,520
What triggered the revolt?
61
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:03,640
Arch Duke Constantijn and the five barons
own most of the land on Ne'Holland,...
62
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,560
...they decided that entitled them to rule, not the King.
63
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:11,040
- And a civil war broke out.
- They caught us by surprise.
64
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,440
The royal guard tried to fight, but...
65
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:18,040
...they were slaughtered.
Millions of people were killed.
66
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:23,840
When the capital fell,
my father tried to evacuate our family, but...
67
00:06:23,840 --> 00:06:28,480
My father spent many years
preparing my older brothers for the throne.
68
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:34,840
- I'm the third son; no one ever thought I'd...
- Become King?
69
00:06:34,840 --> 00:06:36,640
This wasn't supposed to happen.
70
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:41,440
According to their law, the prince can't officially rule on his own
'till he's crowned on the throne of Vincent the first.
71
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,160
Back on Ne'Holland.
72
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:50,160
- And until then he needs a coregent.
- Two, to be precise.
73
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,480
According to Ne'Holland law,
being's Erik's coregents would make us his equals.
74
00:06:54,480 --> 00:07:00,880
This means one vote apiece when it comes to major decisions,
and one bullet apiece when the assassins arrive.
75
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,080
True, but there are other things to consider.
76
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:05,480
And they are?
77
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:10,560
There's a reason Ne'Holland's one of the first worlds
attacked by the Magog,...
78
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:15,960
...they're located on a major slipstream nexus.
Right along the Magog's main invasion route.
79
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,080
And where the Magog world ship will eventually appear.
80
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:25,920
Win Ne'Holland, and we'll have a strong point
we can use to blunt the Magog invasion,...
81
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,560
...if the coregent approves.
82
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,720
Long live King Erik.
83
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,520
I'm honored that you've decided to be my coregents.
84
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:39,320
And I promise that together,
we will restore justice to the people of Ne'Holland.
85
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,320
Not even crowned and he's making speeches.
86
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:45,320
Erik, we have practical matter to address
before we start restoring justice to anyone.
87
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:49,480
Matters like the combined forces of Constantijn
and the five barons you've been talking about.
88
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:55,080
The armies are of no consequence.
Our King was murdered, the people will demand vengeance.
89
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,280
Justice and revenge,
those aren't really the same thing are they?
90
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:02,120
Captain, I'm detecting a ship emerging from slipstream.
It's from Ne'Holland and its hailing us.
91
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,720
No doubt they're here to pay their respects to your highness.
92
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:10,720
- Either way it looks like we have our first order of business.
- Very well then...
93
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,520
...we shall address them and make our will known.
94
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:14,880
Erik...
95
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:18,760
This way.
96
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:25,520
Lieutenant Theodore Tjoe, commanding alliance,
defense cutter of the Ne'Holland Nobel Protectorate.
97
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,120
Nobel Protectorate?
98
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,320
The Nobel Protectorate is the legitimate government
of the Ne'Hollandar system...
99
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,720
That's a lie! You're rebels...
100
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,520
Your Highness! Let the man talk.
101
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:39,800
- But he...
- I concur, motion carries.
102
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,080
Lieutenant, you were saying?
103
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:46,360
I'm here under orders of the protectorate
to collect any survivors of the royal family.
104
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:50,360
Prince Erik is the only survivor,
and he doesn't need any collecting.
105
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:51,920
It's not a request.
106
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:56,800
Prince Erik, you have been tried in absentia and have been found
guilty for crimes against the Ne'Hollandar people.
107
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,120
You are under arrest.
108
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:07,360
Corruption, torture, genocide.
Serious charges.
109
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,520
If they're true, the late King Florin was no saint.
110
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:15,360
Hmm. Which would reflect badly on Erik.
Making it difficult for us to put him in power,
assuming that was still our goal.
111
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:20,320
The charges might be exaggerated, but according
to the databases that I extracted from the freighter,...
112
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:25,400
...King Florin didn't exactly tolerate dissent.
He imprisoned political rivals
and wasn't above the occasional execution.
113
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:29,960
I haven't a thing against tyrants, per se,
but tyrants who lose?
114
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,200
You were looking for an ally, and its being
to seem as though you've found a liability.
115
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,920
From all the reports, the Nobles are worse.
116
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:41,200
Wholesale destruction of the countryside,
forces conscription of commoners,
biological attacks on cities loyal to the King.
117
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,800
Just once I'd like to not have to choose
between the lesser of two evils.
118
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:50,800
Then perhaps we should choose the greater evil.
The Barons are organized; they have the upper hand militarily.
119
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,480
Backing them would be our best chance
to slow the Magog World Ship.
120
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,640
We'd have a much harder time influencing them than Erik.
121
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,800
As Erik's coregents, you and I can help him
become a better ruler than his father was.
122
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:02,400
Assuming he'll listen.
123
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:07,800
Dylan, I'm receiving a hail from the cutter.
They seem pretty insistent.
124
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:08,800
Do they?
125
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:13,800
Well that's completely unacceptable!
Prince Erik is an indicated criminal,
and we demand his immediate return.
126
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:17,000
Your request is completely unacceptable, and I've rejected it.
127
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:21,520
Then we...we will be forced...to...fire...
128
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,240
Lieutenant, a bit of advice.
129
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:31,600
You're on a cutter, I'm on a heavy cruiser,
if you insist on pushing this,
I could fire a warning shot across your bow,...
130
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,600
...but frankly,...
131
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:41,240
...the missile of on own would probably rip you to pieces.
So, it isn't all that bright for you to be making threats.
132
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,840
Point taken.
I'll have to confer with my superiors.
133
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:46,680
Yes, you do that.
134
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,480
You enjoyed that didn't you?
135
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:54,440
Yes.
136
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,240
You were out of position.
Again.
137
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,960
This is a waste of time.
138
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:08,280
You're supposed to be teaching me how to be a king,
not a foot soldier.
139
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:12,080
Martial arts, politics, war; they're all just ways
of bending the universe to your will.
140
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:13,800
All conflicts abide by the same rules.
141
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:19,280
Sun-su, Makiavelli, Heados of Thonia, read them,
you'll be prepared for anything.
142
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,080
Now, attack.
143
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:34,480
Is that what you did when they came for your father, boy?
Cry?
144
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,560
I said attack.
145
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:39,280
Come on!
146
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:52,160
Tell me something else, when they killed your mother and sisters,
did they take them first?
147
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,680
Well done my prince.
148
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:21,840
You relaxed. Never relent.
Always finish your enemy or he will finish you.
149
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:30,280
I'll kill them ya know, the Nobles.
150
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:35,880
Whether or not they took my sisters,
I'll kill them for what they did.
151
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:42,240
Remember that anger, harness it.
Do not let it harness you.
152
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:49,720
You ought to be a king; you haven't the time
for petty personal indulgences like vengeance.
153
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:57,320
That's easy for you to say,
you didn't watch your family get murdered.
154
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:02,800
Young Erik, we have more in common then you know.
155
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:08,160
come.
156
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,080
Watch, learn.
157
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,080
Cut...
158
00:13:22,560 --> 00:13:23,160
...cut!...
159
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:23,760
...disarm,...
160
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:25,280
...cut!...
161
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:26,800
...throw!
162
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:33,680
Remember.
163
00:13:40,560 --> 00:13:48,560
Once the Andromeda is in position,
we launch a quick strike against the Nobel's,
destroy their strong points, and seize power.
164
00:13:48,560 --> 00:13:51,200
So, what do you think?
165
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:59,400
- I think it's ambitious.
- You don't approve.
166
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:03,360
Erik, you told me yourself, your planet
lost millions of people in its last civil war.
167
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:07,760
- We can't just leave the Nobel's in control.
- There are other ways to change the balance of power than war.
168
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,960
There's diplomacy, there's economics,
public opinion...
169
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:17,520
We don't have time. We need to be swift, decisive.
Tyr said...
170
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:23,360
I doubt very much Tyr told you to rush into battle
unless you absolutely knew you could win.
171
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,960
You're my coregents;
you're supposed to help me.
172
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:31,800
And we will. But I won't help you commit suicide
or seize a throne you have no chance of holding.
173
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,400
You don't know them like I do.
The Barons are ruthless.
174
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:41,080
You're afraid of them. Good, you should be,
they're dangerous and if you weren't you'd be a fool.
175
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,680
What if I can't do this?
176
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:51,000
My brothers were groomed for the throne
he moment they were born. How am I supposed to learn
everything I need to know in a few weeks?
177
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:57,600
Erik, the only way to really learn about leadership, is to lead.
178
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,200
I don't even know where to start.
179
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,560
Well, that part is easy.
180
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:16,240
Find out what the people really need, then look for the safest
and best way to get it for them, from there,...
181
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,600
...everything else follows.
182
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,600
From there, everything else follows.
183
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,440
- It's alright, it's alright!
- The shock troops?
184
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:41,440
They're gone, they're gone. You're safe, you are aboard
the Andromeda Ascendant, we rescued you.
185
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,440
The King, where, where's...
186
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,040
I'm afraid he didn't make it.
187
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:46,640
Did anyone survive anyone at all?
188
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:53,240
Only Prince Erik, we were too late to save the others,
I am very sorry.
189
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,320
- I have to speak to the Prince.
- You're not ready to leave yet.
190
00:15:55,320 --> 00:16:00,200
You don't understand, the Nobles have taken
my wife and daughter hostage, my family!
191
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:06,640
And now only the Prince can save them, please,
you must let me speak to him.
192
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:08,240
Prince Erik?
193
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,680
Yanos Oh, God!
194
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,040
Thank God you're better.
195
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,640
What are you doing!?
What are you...? Help!
196
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,640
Security alert, Observation Deck.
197
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:24,240
I never wanted it to come to this.
198
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,840
But your father wouldn't sign the Grand Compromise,
he refused to share power.
199
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,680
You sabotaged our slipstream drive.
200
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,720
Were you really so blind?
201
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:39,480
My father trusted you.
202
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:48,360
Your father was a monster, and if I don't stop you,
you'll end up just like him.
203
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:57,920
Erik don't!
He's more useful to us alive.
204
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,080
Is he?
205
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:08,120
One vote each way, so I guess it's up to me to decide.
206
00:17:08,120 --> 00:17:09,520
Erik No!
207
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,280
You killed him.
208
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,720
I keep telling myself it was self defense.
209
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:45,680
In my experience, that's seldom consolation.
210
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,720
He was like family.
211
00:17:56,360 --> 00:18:00,640
Dylan, I can see his face, his eyes.
212
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:11,080
They were alive, starring at me.
And then, they just went blank.
213
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:29,560
It's not like in the stories is it?
Taking a man's life.
214
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:34,520
My brothers wouldn't have thought twice about it.
215
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:39,280
They were trained to be soldiers, generals.
216
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:45,040
But no one ever trained me.
217
00:18:46,360 --> 00:18:53,280
Maybe that's a blessing.
Your father didn't shape you in his mold.
218
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:57,440
That means you're free to become a different kind of king.
219
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:01,280
My father was beloved by our people.
220
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,560
Which people is that?
221
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:16,320
The ones who died because of him?
Or the ones who killed him?
222
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:21,680
Approaching Ne'Holland slipstream nexus.
223
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:33,600
I command all royal forces on Ne'Holland to cease fire.
And I ask that the Nobels order their troops to do that same.
224
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:48,040
Our late monarch, my father, was not perfect.
But as your new, rightful king, I do not intend
to make the same mistakes that he did.
225
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:53,760
United, we are a great nation.
Divided, we shall fall.
226
00:19:55,640 --> 00:20:01,280
So, let us now work together to restore peace
and unity to Ne'Holland.
227
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:06,000
For our people, our planet and our future.
228
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:11,600
- Message sent, nicely done your highness.
- I had a good speech writer.
229
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:17,000
I agree.
Should serve you well in the court of popular opinion.
230
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,400
Yes, we are looking for a peaceful solution.
231
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,640
And who knows, we may just find one.
232
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,040
Captain, we're being hailed.
It's Arch Duke Constantijn.
233
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:32,480
- The man who murdered my family.
- Mask your anger Erik.
234
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:36,640
I agree.
But, remember your responsibilities to your people.
235
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,440
Put him through.
236
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:42,440
I really enjoyed you speech your highness.
237
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:47,040
Especially the part where you order the royal forces
to cease fire. Are there any of them left?
238
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:48,400
Enough.
239
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:59,840
However in the interest of peace, I've decided to offer you
and the five Barons a formal pardon, for all your crimes.
240
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:01,520
Oh, thank you.
241
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:06,280
Arch Duke Constantijn, this is an olive branch
to show our willing ness to negotiate.
242
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:13,880
Well, we're all anxious to find a peaceful solution to our situation.
So I have a counter proposal.
243
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:20,160
If young Erik will endorse the new,
legitimate government, then we will pardon him.
244
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:24,480
That is, providing of course he agrees to leave Ne'Holland
and never return, ever.
245
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:25,680
Exile?
246
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:31,480
The charges against him are quite serious
and exile is far preferable to death.
247
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,920
- Do we have a deal?
- I'll never endorse you! You traitor!
248
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:39,920
You think you frighten me boy?
Your anger is a pale imitation of your father.
249
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:45,240
Don't push me Constantijn, I'm aboard the most powerful warship in the known worlds,...
250
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:51,360
...I can destroy you with a word.
- Alright, that's enough...
251
00:21:51,360 --> 00:21:53,200
...both of you.
252
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,720
All we want is what's best for the people of Ne'Holland,
we don't want a war.
253
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:58,360
Nor do we.
254
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:04,760
Especially now when we have civilian observers
stationed aboard each of our defense cutters...
255
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:09,320
...and troops are garrisoned in school and hospitals
all over Ne'Holland.
256
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:14,080
Under these circonstances we're fighting to break out captain.
I'm sure you can see the problem.
257
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:19,920
Using people as human shields Constantijn?
Not exactly noble.
258
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:30,480
Well, I'm not the one riding on the most powerful warship
in the known worlds am I?
259
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:42,000
The child is an utter fool, of course.
260
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:49,600
But he does cut quite the romantic figure.
The exiled Prince, the rightful king and so forth.
261
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,120
We both know that the people will support him
in his bid for the throne.
262
00:22:52,120 --> 00:22:59,040
I have o doubt that he could take the throne,
but how long would he hold it? A month, two at best.
263
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:04,960
And then, even if I were eliminated,
the other Nobles would eat him alive.
264
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,680
So you see my dilemma.
265
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:15,920
On one hand, I have the boy under my control.
On the other... human shields.
266
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,760
A lovely tactical stroke I might say, ruthless.
267
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:22,800
I'm glad you approve.
268
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:27,400
But somehow I suspect you didn't contact me
just to compliment me on my strategies.
269
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:31,760
On the contrary,
that was the soul purpose of my call.
270
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:38,000
Then you wouldn't be interested in an offer
of friendship from the Protectorate?
271
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,000
Well, that would depend upon the offer.
272
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,800
Rest assured,...
273
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:48,400
...I will give you anything it is in my power to give
in exchange for one simple gift.
274
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:54,000
It's a small thing, about the size of a ripe calomelon.
275
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,560
Prince Erik's head?
276
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:03,920
Served in the traditional manner, of course,...
on a platter.
277
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:12,560
All I require is you agreement and you never nee worry
about Constantijn again.
278
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,880
I don't know Tyr.
279
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:17,040
It's a big decision.
280
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,400
One you were fully prepared to make a few days ago.
281
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:25,400
But you said that I was being rash.
And Dylan keeps talking about finding a, a peaceful solution.
282
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,960
Dylan... is an idealist.
283
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:39,800
You and I both know there will be no peace on your world
so long as Constantijn and the five Barons are alive.
284
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:46,600
To strike too soon would have been rash.
To pass up a genuine opportunity, that's suicide.
285
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:50,240
If you're so confident about your plan,
then we should tell it to Dylan.
286
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,600
Out of the question.
Dylan must not know.
287
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:58,840
The rules governing the regency are clear. If we both agree,
we can out vote him no matter what he thinks.
288
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:03,240
Do you really believe
that he'll let the two of us dictate his actions?
289
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:07,360
Son, the Andromeda is Dylan's ship;
he'll do with it what he will.
290
00:25:07,360 --> 00:25:14,240
And I guarantee that he will not be an accomplice
to the execution of Constantijn and his allies.
291
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:21,640
My Prince, if you rely on people to play by the rules,
your reign will be sad, violent and short.
292
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:30,440
Now, what will it be? A false peace with the murderers of your family,
one that will end the moment Dylan leaves Ne'Holland,...
293
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,120
...or an unassailable throne?
294
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:38,000
Do it.
295
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,680
- Kill them.
- Spoken like King.
296
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:47,680
Tyr, Erik, report to Command, code black.
297
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:54,080
It's our entire defense fleet.
298
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,280
Rommie, how long would it take you to destroy that fleet?
299
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:57,680
Six point two seconds.
300
00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,200
That long?
301
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,880
We are being hailed by the flag ship,
someone named Admiral Alexander.
302
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:06,600
Another traitor.
Commanded my father's military during the war.
303
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:10,280
At the very end, while we were evacuating,
he went over to the Nobels.
304
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:11,760
On screen.
305
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:15,120
Admiral Alexander, commander and chief
of the Ne'Holland defense forces.
306
00:26:15,120 --> 00:26:17,200
Captain Dylan Hunt of the Andromeda Ascendant.
307
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,880
Captain, I have strict orders not to allow you to pass.
308
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:20,760
Whose orders?
309
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:24,480
Your Highness,
it's good to see you, I was worried for you.
310
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,680
Not enough to stand by my side.
311
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:33,320
Prince Erik, your father and I were like brothers,
but all this fighting is...its destroying us,...
312
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:39,880
...its destroying your people.
And now that it's over, it has to stay that way.
313
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:44,480
You've been a loyal subject Admiral,
and I appreciate your concerns.
314
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:52,720
In that case, I must admit, I am worried for your highnesses safety, especially among these strangers.
315
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,320
Perhaps your highness would care to join us on my flag ship.
316
00:26:55,320 --> 00:27:02,320
I'm not among strangers Admiral. These are my coregents,
and the Andromeda is now my flagship.
317
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:10,720
Since you choose to remain there, may I offer o send over
a royal guard to see to your security?
318
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:15,120
Perhaps, I will confer with my coregents.
319
00:27:15,120 --> 00:27:17,160
Com link suspended.
320
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:19,720
You handled that well.
321
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,120
You listened, what did you hear?
322
00:27:22,120 --> 00:27:33,320
His invitation was a trap; he's working for Constantijn now.
But he's tired, and all he really wants is peace.
323
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,600
- Do we let him send over his guards?
- No, no,...
324
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:45,760
...we, we'll invite him over
to address his concerns about your safety.
325
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:52,360
But if Dylan can actually persuade Alexander to switch sides,...
326
00:27:52,360 --> 00:27:55,640
...we'll have the fleet and the Andromeda.
327
00:27:55,640 --> 00:28:00,680
The Nobles will have no choice but to surrender,...
328
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:02,400
...peacefully.
329
00:28:05,360 --> 00:28:06,760
Erik,...
330
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:12,400
...Alexander has no intention of switching sides.
331
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:16,360
He only agreed to meet with Dylan
to see if there was a way to get to you.
332
00:28:16,360 --> 00:28:21,160
We stick with our original plan,
unless you're getting cold feet.
333
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:26,400
You keep telling me not to trust people,
why should I trust you?
334
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:28,600
You shouldn't.
335
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,360
If you were smart you'd be formulating our own plan.
336
00:28:32,360 --> 00:28:36,720
One that would work whether you follow Dylan's advice,
mine or strike out on your own.
337
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:40,520
All the while making us both believe
that you trust us without question.
338
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:41,840
So,...
339
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,680
...do you trust me?
340
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:53,200
The Nobles are heavily guarded,
how do you plan on getting close to them?
341
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:58,000
Ah, you see there again you are disrupting the illusion
that you have faith in me. Which at this point...
342
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,400
This is my life on the line, now I asked you a question.
343
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,800
A question with an answer you'd rather not hear.
344
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:10,720
Coregent, if I'm to be King I need to be kept informed
of what must go on to get me on the throne.
345
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:14,200
How did you get the Nobles to trust you?
346
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,080
By offering them you.
347
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:25,600
- I must say, I do find your proposal intriguing.
- So, you'll keep it in mind?
348
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,000
- You have my word on it.
- Thank you, sir.
349
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,440
So, how many can she fire again?
350
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,040
Forty missile launchers,
each firing eight rounds per second.
351
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:38,280
Nineteen thousand, two-hundred rounds per minute.
At forty mega ton payloads?
352
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:44,480
Well, give or take. A glorious heritage class cruiser,
like the Andromeda...
353
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:49,640
...could completely depopulate a world like,
Ne'Holland in under two minutes.
354
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:51,200
More tea?
355
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,040
Prince Erik, Dylan would like to see you.
356
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,080
About what?
357
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:06,600
Are you alright?
358
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:10,520
Ah, I'm fine.
359
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:15,640
I have to choice beetween running for the rest of my life
and starting a war.
360
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:19,360
And the principle goal of my two advisors
seems to be making deals behind my back...
361
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:23,480
...and manipulating the situation to their advantage.
Everything's great.
362
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,640
- Dylan isn't trying to take advantage of you.
- And Tyr?
363
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:32,040
Tyr, Tyr tries to take advantage of everyone,
it's his nature.
364
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,240
I'm seventeen years old.
365
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:43,440
I should be studying with my tutors, finding love,
not deciding the fate of my entire world.
366
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:47,480
Dylan wanted to tell you this himself but,...
367
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:50,320
...he, Constantijn and Alexander
were able to reach an agreement.
368
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:54,920
If you all agree to enter into formal negotiations
to share power with the Nobles,...
369
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:58,600
...they'll agree to a cease fire and to your coronation.
370
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:04,400
The war is over your highness,
you're going home.
371
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:22,680
- Where will the Nobles be?
- Below the throne and to the right.
372
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,160
Arch Duke Constantijn will crown you of course,...
373
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,720
...and Admiral Alexander has provided royal guards
to line your procession route.
374
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:32,360
At my father's coronation, thousand of people
lined his route to throw rose petals.
375
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:34,920
Well this time,
let's hope nobody throws any grenades.
376
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:39,760
Your coronation will be broadcast by holocam,
your entire world will be watching.
377
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:45,680
Everything seems to be in order.
Let's go back and run though this again.
378
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:01,920
Have we a deal?
379
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:07,200
How will you get my snipers past the royal guards?
380
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,520
I've left breaks in our security perimeters.
381
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,520
Here, here and here.
382
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,240
It's unfortunate it's come to this.
383
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:17,600
Tragic.
384
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,800
You may not believe me, but...
385
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:26,920
...the Barons and I never wished to make war against our king.
386
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,040
But someone had to stand up for the people.
387
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:33,280
- And rule them.
- Well the people can't rule themselves, this is true.
388
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:39,120
But neither should any king,
at least not without the aristocracy.
389
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:44,960
- You have chosen the right side.
- I've chosen the winning side.
390
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,440
Then we have a deal.
391
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:56,320
After Erik is dead, my snipers will kill your Captain Hunt,
the Andromeda Ascendant will be yours.
392
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,240
Your Majesty.
393
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,600
All is in readiness.
394
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:36,640
I don't understand why you haven't already killed them.
395
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:42,640
Attack without provocation and the people will think
you are a despot who murders his foes,...
396
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:47,920
...allow them to attack you,
and you remain a blameless innocent.
397
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:53,120
The people will love you,
even as your foes breathe their last.
398
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:54,320
Yes?
399
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:00,720
Tyr.
400
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:09,840
So how are you feeling?
401
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:15,120
- Dylan...
- Dylan the guests are ready.
402
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,440
- All of them?
- VIPs included.
403
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:20,520
My remote sentries are detecting
security breeches in the perimeter
404
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:22,560
What's happening?
405
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,200
Something you wanted to tell me?
406
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:34,840
I just wanted to thank you
407
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:36,600
You're welcome.
408
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:38,800
Rommie.
409
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:53,400
Announcing his royal highness, Erik Rolandis Hegador,
son of his royal majesty King Florin.
410
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,640
Prince of the grand system of Ne'Holland.
411
00:34:55,640 --> 00:35:02,160
Not until he steps out of his tent, I want this on camera;
I want the entire world to see.
412
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:06,160
- We have to go
- I think its best if we just wait here for a while.
413
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,120
For what?
414
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:19,600
Stay back!
415
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:22,120
Hold your tone, hole your tone.
416
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:24,760
- What is that?
- I hope you don't mind.
417
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:28,560
I took the liberty of inviting a couple of extra guests.
418
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:29,880
Ready.
419
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,760
Fire! Open fire now!
420
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:59,360
- Use weapon, secure the perimeter.
- Use weapons aye.
421
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:21,200
- You're killing them. You're just like Tyr.
- No, I'm better.
422
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,880
- Tyr, we had a deal.
- Did we?
423
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:26,720
Kill him!
424
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,480
You said you were on our side.
425
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:40,360
I said the winning side.
426
00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:00,120
- Perimeter's secure Captain.
- Thank you.
427
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:01,880
You're welcome.
428
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:03,280
What did you do?
429
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:08,840
The same thing everybody else seems
to be doing around here, just making plans.
430
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:12,040
Looks like mine worked.
431
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,040
All of this, for me.
432
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:29,240
This is what it costs, the game of Kings.
You pay with blood.
433
00:37:29,240 --> 00:37:34,360
I had no idea what I was getting myself into,...
434
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:39,240
...but you did.
You've played this game before.
435
00:37:39,240 --> 00:37:41,800
Did you learn anything?
436
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:46,240
Tyr taught me to be ruthless that was the Nobel's way.
437
00:37:46,240 --> 00:37:53,320
He taught me to try for peace, diplomacy,
and to be ruthless only as a last resort.
438
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:55,520
I've see enough.
439
00:37:57,760 --> 00:37:59,360
I'm ready
440
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:02,000
Good.
441
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:09,840
Do I am my father's son, I am not my father.
442
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:13,880
Where he fought, I will find common ground.
443
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:17,080
Where he commanded, I will listen.
444
00:38:17,720 --> 00:38:22,000
And where he seized all the power he could bare,
I will share it.
445
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:27,360
A government elected by the people,
and for the people.
446
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:34,120
Because I am only one man, and you,
you are Ne'Holland.
447
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:36,200
Long live the people!
448
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:38,480
Long live the King!
449
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:06,440
A democracy? How quaint.
450
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:10,480
Yes Tyr, I know,
you would have preferred Erik as a dictator.
451
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:17,560
No sir, I should have very much liked our young Erik to survive.
Your way I give him a month.
452
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:23,760
You've won for now, but in the long run my good captain
I must believe you've placed the wrong bet.
453
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:28,400
I didn't bet on Erik, I bet on them.
454
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:32,760
The people.
455
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:36,440
A vote for everyone, including the soldiers,
especially the soldiers.
456
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:40,800
Each of whom will be granted an equal share of the Nobles land
when they put down their arms.
457
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:47,840
Isn't it a lucky thing for you then that Constantijn
and the Baron's land has suddenly become available
to prop up your new government.
458
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:50,560
Yes, lucky for me.
459
00:39:52,600 --> 00:40:03,280
Tyr, those people you told Erik to study, Sun-su,
Heados of Thonia, Makiavelli, I've read them too.
460
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:09,200
Well, Captain Hunt, I didn't know you could be so...
461
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:11,680
...literate.
462
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:19,120
Long live the King!
463
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:34,440
