Farscape s03e19 Episode Script

Previously on Farscape What is the matter? Radiation Massive radiation.
I love you.
The other Crichton Is dead.
Hello, John.
Oh, my friend, It's difficult, isn't it? You're jealous of the other you.
He died.
And now Aeryn thinks that you are the copy.
Peacekeepers.
they're your problem.
Don't let Scorpius crack this.
Whatever it takes.
I'm going to the Command Carrier.
I'm going to stop Scorpius.
Good luck, John.
And now, on Farscape I'm a squillion metras from anywhere I want to be.
Then, come with me.
I can't.
Jool.
Your friends are negotiating with Peacekeepers.
You stay here, you'll end up dead.
I'm sure, on the medical facility, they'll be someone who can help you find your home.
- Aeryn aboard? - Just finished her reconnaissance.
The ship on approach is definitely a medical facility.
It is unarmed.
Five or six hundred onboard, and they'll take our Scarran.
Well, let's get Naj Gil outta here before they chaange their minds.
You all right? Any word from D'Argo and Rygel? No.
They're out of range.
So, after we leave here we're really gonna do this.
There's no turning back.
We're we're gonna go on a command carrier with Scorpius.
Well, that's the plan, if they can hammer out a deal.
Scorpius doesn't deal.
Rygel thinks he will.
Right now, Scorpius is probably frying D'Argo in the Aurora Chair and, and then he's gonna find us and he's gonna kick us to death.
But'cha know what? It doesn't matter because, because I won't be here.
I'm splittin' Crichton.
The next planet we pass.
Peacekeepers.
I I see Peacekeepers.
You know, I don't think Scorpius is going to show.
He'll show.
Eat, calm down.
No, I can't.
I smell a double cross.
How can you smell anything but these ganocks on the table? Try one.
No.
How can you eat that? It smells like prout.
They're our specialty.
People come from planets you've never heard of, just to eat our marjools.
Look, can you please just get out of my way? - Go-go, go! - Ah! They're here.
Lieutenant Just the two of you No others? Correct.
Where's Scorpius? Ah.
The Luxan and the Dominar.
You're late.
I presume you're both unarmed.
That was the deal.
Yes, it was.
Shall we get down to business? Not yet.
Rygel, move! It's a trap! Lieutenant Prepare to execute them.
My name is John Crichton I'm lost an astronaut shot through a wormhole.
In some distant part of the universe.
I'm trying to stay alive Aboard this ship-- this living ship of escaped prisoners-- my friends.
If you can hear me beware if I make it back will they follow? If I open the door are you ready? Earth is unprepared, helpless for the nightmares I've seen.
Or should I stay, protect my home, not show them you exist.
But then you'll never know the wonders I've seen.
Where's your rescue squad? Hm? Where's Aeryn Sun? Get frelled.
Not afraid of death? Oh, just let me finish these, and please don't miss.
Aim for the head, hmm? Look.
We're ready to deal.
When you've finished your little game I had to make sure you were both alone.
Mmm.
Of course.
Weapons down.
So You weren't really gonna kill us? Of course not.
Are you certain about that? Quite.
Ah, Ka D'Argo If you knock out another there'll be no soldiers to carry these three back to the ship.
He's right.
We're here to talk.
Okay.
But I want no Comms, and no more surprises.
Now get these tralks out of here before you start to waste anymore of my time.
- Withdraw to the ship.
Await our return.
- Peacekeepers - Well, what're we gonna do? - Get the frellhezmana out of here.
I'm not going out there, no way! Voodi Ah, Zangblats! - We've gotta run, Essk.
We've gotta run.
- What? Run where? Where? Like we've got somewhere to run.
Naj Gil.
Has he gone yet? Yeah.
The transport pod just left for the med ship.
What're ya doing? Listen, Chi.
I've got nothing against the Peacekeepers.
I was never a prisoner.
So you guys wanna fight 'em, or stop 'em, or whatever it is you're planning, fine.
- Good luck.
But I'm leavin'.
- Oh.
You're goin' on the med ship.
Yep.
Naj Gil said they'd check out my eye, and then they're gonna take me home.
You can't go.
Why not? Because I saw myself mourning for you.
Okay.
One I don't think you can see dren, and two, it's really none of Let me understand You wish to board my Command Carrier.
You want full amnesty and relocation to your own planets as free citizens.
And in return, Crichton will help me, in my wormhole research.
That's about the short of it.
Yes.
And why would Crichton do this? Do you know who the Charrids are? Yes.
Not very friendly towards Hynerians if I recall.
The Charrids have formed an alliance with the Scarrans.
I am aware of the political situation.
The Scarran's goal is to build wormhole technology.
We stopped them, but it won't be long until they start again.
So, Crichton has a choice and he would rather you had it, than them.
- We gotta get them outta here.
- So, what're ya gonna do? Essk, I gotta tell you something.
Oh, don't worry.
This could turn out good.
If you cook'em the greatest leearvink ever, maybe we could get a Peacekeeper supply contract We're gonna get killed! Why would they kill us? I don't know how to make leearvink.
I haven't got the skills.
You do.
You do.
You were a great chef once, Voodi.
You can do it.
Crichton Aeryn there are Peacekeepers approaching! I knew it.
I knew Peacekeepers would come.
Come on.
Come on.
- What? Did'ja see that too? Is there anything you don't see? -Nice.
Talyn has also spotted the Peacekeeper craft.
A prowler and a marauder.
Pilot, give us immediate starburst.
We cannot starburst until we are clear of the medical facility.
Talyn Prime main cannon.
Identify targets and stay calm.
Stay calm, Talyn.
Are the Peacekeepers here to find us? I don't know.
Crichton it's Scorpius.
He sent them.
I told you.
I told you they would screw us.
That means that D'Argo and Rygel are dead.
Pip.
We do not know that.
What are you doing? Oh, you bitch, I could be gone.
I could be on that med ship but no! You had to see things, and then you had to punch me! Prime main cannons only.
Do not fire until my signal.
Peacekeeper ships in visual range Moya senses they've targeted us.
We don't have any choice.
Do it now, Crais.
Talyn.
Fire at will.
Pilot? Status of the Peacekeeper vessels? They are no longer on Moya's scans.
- Good work, Talyn.
- Starburst in fifty microts.
The hospital craft is moving away and its commander sends us his gratitude for destroying the Peacekeeper ships.
Wait.
Wait, Talyn.
The med ship is not a threat.
What is he doing, Crais? No, Talyn! The med ship is not a threat! Crais.
What is going on out there!? No, Talyn! Power down now! Power down now! You There were innocent people aboard that ship! - I know.
- Naj Gil.
There was nothing I could do.
Talyn attacked on his own accord.
You could've stopped him.
Somehow you could've stopped him.
Now they're dead.
600 souls.
And you.
you knew.
No.
I I only saw myself in mourning.
I I thought it was for you.
Pilot why haven't we starburst? The Peacekeepers are sure to send out another patrol.
I am afraid Moya is now refusing to move.
Why? Since Talyn powered down I can't contact him.
He's not responding to my comms.
And Moya is refusing to abandon him.
We are agreed.
You will all board my Command Carrier.
We're not quite finished yet.
We will need a guarantee for our safety, when we're on board your ship.
And, I'm afraid we'll need something more tangible than reassuring words.
I-Yench bracelets.
Sir.
Put one on, Braca.
Ka D'Argo If you will.
What does it do? This gets you onboard my ship.
We have almost closed the deal.
Put it on.
It's easy for you to say.
Do you feel anything? No.
Braca Pay homage to the Dominar.
What? I invite you, Dominar to attack the Lieutenant.
I have no quarrel with him.
Humor me.
Those wearing the bracelets will feel each others pain.
If one is injured, then both will be.
Very good and if one is killed? Both will be dead.
The bracelets seem acceptable but who wears them? Why, Crichton of course and my second in command, Braca.
Braca? You would not hesitate to kill him.
I will not wear an I-Yench bracelet.
Crichton wears one you wear one.
Each of us gets to configure the arming sequence so we can be assured there's no tampering.
The only way we'll trust you Scorpius is if we know we can control you.
Unacceptable.
Then we have no deal.
So be it.
This is a robbery.
- How many more are there? - There's no one.
No one? Get over there.
Manam, grillas, whatever you got.
Give it to me in a pile, nice and slow.
I have nothing.
Sko, I'm trying to tell you something.
I know.
They're Peacekeeper officers.
Who gives a frell? He never told us about the Peacekeepers.
You, you.
Up.
Up.
Up.
Up.
Up.
Up.
Up.
Up.
Up.
We go out there now-- your troops-- they shoot us in the head-- how many? How many are there? There are none.
A liar! Peacekeeper Officer can't even stiv without his troops! I can stiv on my own, thank you very much.
Up.
Up.
Up.
Up.
Up.
Up! You-- comm them.
Tell them, show themselves.
Hands up.
In the air.
I have no comms.
The Luxan destroyed them.
Why'd ya hit me? - Wha-Wha'd I do? - You.
- just go.
Cook.
- what? Now, you! Go help him cook.
Now! I don't care what! Go, go! What's going on? What's going on? What's going on!? What's going That's a very long story, frelljek Talyn is in shock.
He has expressed absolute remorse for his mistake.
Six hundred dead.
That's a little more than a mistake, Crais.
Yes.
And I believe that unless we act, it may happen again.
What will happen again? Extreme paranoia.
Reactions unwarranted to the situation.
Talyn is a danger to himself as well as us.
Crais What do you want to do? I believe we should shut down all his mechanoid systems.
Stay calm, Moya.
We're just discussing a plan.
No one's doing anything yet.
You're talking about killing Talyn? Of course not.
His biologics will remain on artificial support.
But we must get him to a place where the anomalies in his character can be repaired.
Then you bring him back.
With full system replacement.
When he comes back will he still be Talyn? No.
He will be, ah different.
Brand new.
But something has to be done.
Moya must know that.
Six hundred innocents have just lost their lives.
Moya is aware that Talyn has acted irrationally.
I will speak to her alone.
Ah.
Can I offer a suggestion? Shut up.
Why don't you forget the robbery and think bigger? If I were you, I'd hold the Peacekeepers for ransom.
Let us go.
You don't need us.
But they'll pay anything to get those two back.
Rygel shut up! This robbery doesn't seem to be turning out like you planned.
If you had a plan, which don't get upset doesn't seem to be the case.
We're doing fine.
This is fine? I'd hate to see when you do badly.
When we burn this place down we'll make sure you're in it! Burn it down? I thought you were robbing it.
This isn't a robbery, is it? It's for insurance.
Garanzai currency, yes? Before, you said, 'He didn't tell us there'd be Peacekeepers here'.
It's the cook.
You're burning it down for the cook.
Voodi, get out here now! We've got your food.
- We've got your leearvink.
- Get it out of my face! I'll just put it over there, okay? Maybe your friend will He knows.
What did you tell him? - Nothing.
- What did you tell him? Tell what? The worm knows.
Voodi hired us to burn this place down.
You did what? I would'a told ya.
I should've, Essk.
But, but You wanna burn this? - But I love this place, Voodi.
- I should'a told ya! Shutup! Shutup! Up! What have you been doing, have you been telling them my life story? I didn't.
He guessed.
He came up with a better plan.
Stiv doing the Insurance job we take these two for ransom instead.
I wouldn't do that.
We don't care what you'd do.
Look.
We've got the guns.
We're in control, and we're gonna be rich! Rich! Rich, rich, rich.
No you won't.
Talyn has activated a full lockdown.
He's not letting Crais onboard.
Moya is still refusing to move.
She won't even talk to Pilot.
What do you think we should do? You asking me? Yes.
We can still work together John.
We always did that well.
The only voice that Talyn is going to listen to is Moya.
Someone needs to talk to her and convince her that we're not hurting Talyn because we want to.
I think maybe you should talk to Moya.
She knows that you love Talyn.
There's nothing I can do.
Moya knows Talyn's acting irrationally, but she believes he will heal himself.
- May I speak with her? -I'll ask.
Moya will listen to you.
Proceed.
Hello Moya.
Talyn has been our home.
And, on more than one occassion, he has saved our lives.
I, personally, have shared with him some of the best and also some of the worst times.
You must know that I would never harm him.
Crais is right.
We have to shut Talyn down, and it is for his own good, and I swear that we will all work to bring him back just as he was.
It is the only way.
I can handle Peacekeepers.
I know what they'll do.
They'll send out a prowler, maybe two.
I will keep this gun at your head to make sure there's no funny ganak.
Then you'll organize a ransom and get them to give you a very fast ship.
That's right.
The moment you comm them, you're dead.
And you won't even see them coming.
Why risk it? When you have a far greater prize here and you don't even know it.
Behold Rygel the Sixteenth.
Sovereign of Hyneria.
Heir to all its wealth and fabled star planets.
He you should ransom.
Talyn's agreed to let Crais reboard and start his work.
I sense Talyn waking up from lockdown and powering up.
Thank Moya for us, Pilot.
I think it best to leave Moya alone.
She knows what we do is necessary, but still she is heartbroken.
She's not the only one.
Crais What's Talyn doing? He's aiming at us.
- Shut down, Talyn! Shut down! - Start evasive procedures Evasive procedures, now! Listen.
Stay awake.
No, no sleep.
No sleep.
No sleep! He needs water.
Oh, shut up.
He's not important.
'Let the hostages die'.
Brilliant negotiating position.
Oh.
You're the only one we care about, little slime toad.
Now, shut up while we figure out what to do next.
He needs water now! Imbecile.
Bring me water! And bring me food.
I left your leearvink on the table.
Well, that leearvink's cold.
You should bring me some more.
- Your bravery is convincing.
- Yes.
I think he bought it.
- They want more leearvink.
- All right, all right.
Come on! Why don't they stick their leearvink up their fekik? No, no.
No, why don't we put a frelling sign out the front? Huh-huh? Yeah? "Leearvink not done here!".
What sign? You were going to burn the place down, Voodi.
No! This place is killing us.
Don't you understand that? Essk, I want to start over.
I want to start over together.
I've been thinking about it.
We shouldn't kill anyone.
We should just burn the place down.
If we do this ransom thing, you know someone's gonna end up dead.
Have you looked in the mirror lately? -Are you getting any younger? - No! We take the score that's fallen in our lap.
We mortgage the runt.
We only have a limited window before they discover no one will pay a kretmar for you.
That's your fault.
You told them to ransom me.
If they'd comm'd in a Peacekeeper squad like you suggested, it's quite likely one of us would have died at the hands of these idiots! No, uh we'll do this ourselves.
If you're up to it.
I know the combination to Braca's bracelet.
While holding two lights continuously, depress 3, 1, 4.
Then release all.
Give us a hand here, Princess.
I can't believe Talyn blew up Moya.
I'm sure it was an accident.
I bet he was really aimin' for you.
We are the only ones who can help you.
Talyn, please.
Talyn, please Bay three hangar is opening.
Talyn is letting us dock.
Okay.
Here's what we do.
We call your people.
We ask for ten million kretmars ransom.
We leave.
We wait.
They come.
When they come, we arrange the exchange.
His ship will decode the transmission.
Hah! So? We'll be metras away.
In something that can outrun an attack marauder? Uh, he's right, you know.
Why so difficult? Uh.
You could take my ship.
It's fast.
They won't ever catch us.
But he's the only one that can fly it.
- I don't believe you.
- It's true.
Responds to DNA particles and voice ident.
Why so difficult!? Here! Voodi's made you leearvink.
Smells like krenk! You get me something I can eat! Let go! - Don't fight me, bitch.
- Leave me alone! Get the frell outta here! I want you gone now! Now! Get back to the kitchen.
No, this is my place! You work for me, now burn it some other time, I don't care.
Just get out of here.
Now! I'm warning you.
Why? I I wanted to give you something Voodi b burn this place down in my honor.
Dead.
Braca's I-Yensch hold 2 continuously as you press Slime Finger what are you doing? Helping keep this man alive.
Oh no, you're not.
Back just back away! Yes, yes.
Press three, one, four.
Talyn you know what must happen next.
He's right, Talyn Talyn You listen to me.
You destroyed a ship with many innocent people onboard.
You shot your own mother.
You would never do that.
Unless you were sick and frightened.
When Moya told you what we had to do, you panicked and struck out.
I don't think you really meant to hurt Moya.
You could have destroyed her if you wanted to, but you didn't.
Just as I'm hoping that you don't really want to hurt us, because we don't want to hurt you.
Talyn.
You know you're sick.
You let us board.
Now, I don't want you to be frightened.
You're not going to die.
You'll be reborn.
It's a fresh start.
Please Talyn let us take away your pain.
Stay awake.
Stay awake! Stay awake! Please Sko.
No more killing.
- We should just get out of here - No.
No! We're too far in.
So you.
You were meeting with him, weren't you? Why? To negotiate our freedom.
We're escaped prisoners.
Oh, really? Really? So you don't like Peacekeepers either.
Not in the slightest.
This one's the most valuable? Higher even than a captain.
Look no insignia.
So, we take him in your ship.
We have better chance of escaping, yeah? Come! Come, come slimey.
Wa! Wa! Aim at the Hynerian.
What? You, Pull the trigger.
Kill the Peacekeeper.
I'll trust you and we'll both be happy.
Pull the trigger.
Kill him now or Wa kills you.
Pull the trigger! I'm waiting! I told you before if I kill him, D'Argo dies.
If D'Argo dies, no one can fly the ship.
If no one can fly the ship you don't go anywhere.
Pull the trigger! You want me to kill someone so you'll trust me.
How about Dominar Butcher You said this one is more valuable.
That was a microt ago.
All right.
Good.
We're outta here.
Well, why not just kill everyone? Everyone! There's a knife under the leearvink.
You okay? Fine.
Listen, Crais and I can wrap it up from here.
I can finish the job.
I know.
But if you wanna go back to Moya I don't.
But thank you.
Are you ready? Crais We're ready now.
Yes, Talyn.
I promise you that I will do everything I can, and Crichton and Aeryn will as well.
We are all here with you.
You in he did not disappoint them.
I don't hold you responsible.
Neither does Moya.
Oh, no, no.
On the contrary, Talyn.
You are very brave.
As you wish.
He's gone.
Get him up! I'm trying to keep him awake.
If you want me to pilot that ship for you, he must remain conscious.
Waitress Waitress.
Time to join your cook boyfriend.
No! I'll get you all the currency you could ever want.
Leave her alone.
Go back in the kitchen.
Don't come out again.
Where are you going? Need a kill souvenir.
want to help? Sick toad.
We have to go! Just give me a microt.
Sorry I had to shoot you, but you know how it goes.
How did you know I was wearing body armor? I wasn't sure, but one hundred and thirty-one cycles in Peacekeeper captivity teaches you a few things.
What if you were wrong? Hm.
Not so bad for me either way.
Plan.
We can't leave with them, or we're all dead.
There's a knife under the plate.
It's on the floor in front of the counter.
Hynerian! Almost done.
His ears are tougher than I thought.
You got anything to contribute? The silver one.
Hurry.
Single pulse charge.
You've only got one.
Good luck.
Be there! I've changed my mind.
What? I'm not going with you.
You can kill those two if you like.
Why, you dirty little - What's this about? - Regrets.
I'd rather be dead than deal with the likes of you.
Why so difficult!? Because you didn't think it through, fekik.
You didn't have a plan.
What's this? What's in there? What's that you got!? My leg! Get it off my leg! Kill them all! D'Argo D'Argo What! Are you all right? Yeah.
I'm fine.
I've got a I've got a, ah hard skull.
I just think that I'll, ah And now about our deal.
Yes.
I believe perhaps there is a basis for us to trust one another.
- So you're all right? - As well as can be expected.
D'Argo's hurt his leg, his head, and burnt his hand, but he'll survive.
What happened to you guys? Why why didn't you call in? Well, the restaurant it, ah sorta burned down.
I don't wanna talk about it.
It's a long story.
Anything happen here on Moya? Oh, you know.
Just the usual.
- Rygel, do we have a deal? - Oh, very much.
I'm proud to say I've secured everything we wanted Including acceptable security precautions.
I have a bad feeling.
About the Command Carrier.
- Do you think we shouldn't go? - I don't think we have a choice.
If Scorpius masters wormholes, then Yeah.
Some things you die for.
I just can't watch that happen again.
It was perfect.
We were so perfect.
And you're just like him.
I mean, you are him.
No I'm me.
I was here.
I missed that dance.
Aeryn don't come with us.
No.
We started this together, Crichton.
That's how we'll end it.
