Farscape s03e21 Episode Script

Previously on Farscape I don't see another option.
Scorpius has the knowledge from my brain and i'm not gonna let him shaft the Universe with it.
I'm going to stop Scorpius.
Welcome.
I grant you John, and your companions full diplomatic rights, immunities and courtesies whilst aboard this vessel.
Those wearing the bracelets will feel each others pain.
and if one is killed? Both will be dead.
Let's test the jewelry.
The rift between us is finally bridged.
Scorpius stole your command! I knew he squeezed you out of power.
What else do you know? You could have come back.
I didn't want to come back.
Oh it's magnificent.
He's harmless.
His weapons have been deactivated.
That ship's biologics are on minimal auto-support.
All its other systems are dead.
These are design specs, right? to create an external field that stabilizes a wormhole before entry.
Your project has cost us dearly and wielded at nothing - The equations we need are in here.
- Don't touch me.
You give me what I want, or I swear I will keep you alive so that you can witness your home worlds destruction! And now on Farscape Look at it! Get the hell off me you son-of-a-bitch! You listen to me, John.
I don't care about your homeworld; your entire species! Live; die; means nothing to me! What interests me; is that they-- matter-- to you!! You think holding a frickin' gun on my planet is gonna motivate me to help you? I have run out of time! Don't stop let's see how much pain you can take! That Commandant bitch will return here anytime.
I must be able to report success or she's going to scrap my wormhole project.
And soon the Scarrans.
will rule.
half.
this.
galaxy!! Oh, Grasshopper.
You're so screwed! If I am screwed, John.
Things around here are going to get very ugly.
But if Grayza's going to stop the experiment in a few days, then we have already succeeded.
No.
Scorpius is in Captain Queeg mode.
Somebody's stolen his strawberries and he's not gonna let his pet project die.
How's he planning to stop Grayza? We're talkin' about Scorpius.
You prepared to bet against him? Bialar you look tense.
Let's take a little steam in that restorative chamber.
So we're agreed.
We stay no longer.
We go.
Agreed.
Agreed.
All right folks, gather round.
New deal.
This whole Commandant Grazer strong arm routine changes everything.
We agree.
This could all get nasty very quickly.
Absolutely, but it might not be nasty enough to put a spike into Scorpy's wormhole project once and for all.
From the scuttlebutt on the ship-- this Grazer's got Scorpius's mivonks in one hezmana of a vise.
Are we all on the same page here? We came to permanently sabotage Scorpy's project.
Now, I've been trying to kill it from the inside, but we have run out of time.
We have one option left.
Only one.
We blow up the Command Carrier.
Blow up the Command Carrier? The entire Command Carrier? All of Scorpy's data is on this ship.
He's retro'd the entire damned hull into a repeated necessary to stabilize a wormhole.
This boat is the Peacekeeper wormhole project.
But, this carrier's huge.
Over a metra long.
Is it possible to blow up the whole ship? It's armed to the teeth.
We can blow the munitions store.
Hell, we can stick a banana in the tailpipe.
I do not care how we do it, but we do it.
There are over fifty thousand men, women and children aboard this ship.
Then we find a way to get 'em off before we blow it up.
John, there's no way that we Is this not what we came here to do? Crais-- you commanded this ship, can we destroy it? It's possible.
I'll need to see the specs on any modifications Scorpius has made, and any redistribution of power and fuel since I was in command.
Good.
We have a start and We will find a way to get the people off.
Guys we can do this and we have to try.
I did see what the Scarrans were able to do.
Even if by some wild miracle, I manage to regain my throne, I won't hold it for long if the Peacekeepers have this technology.
I know what horrible destruction wormholes can wreak.
Nobody should wield such power Nobody.
I'm on my way to the Leviathan Hybrid.
Not anymore, Sir.
The hybrid is dead.
There is no reason to deny me access.
Scorpius's orders are my reason.
This is all very pleasant John, but, ah shouldn't we be working? Or at least, well pretending to work? Would he do it? Hm? Oh! Would Scorpius actually attack earth? If you fail in delivering the wormhole answers Would he set out on a sixty-cycle mission?! To destroy an insignificant planet? Though I would never underestimate Scorpius's resolve for retribution, John.
If he feels he's been No.
Wait Hey-- took your hand off! So, tell me John.
If you do develop wormhole travel, and gain the ability to return home, would you really destroy that information? Got any sixes? Go fish! Ha-Hah! Glory Crichton Crichton, you're no longer writing on the tablet.
Oh my Jenset, look what you've done.
I I think you've unlocked the fifth level coupling anomalies.
So that's how it works, I must get these figures plugged in immediately.
We're close.
Oh Yes.
I can do this.
Disarming him was the final step towards his resurrection.
Your experience with Talyn will be invaluable to making that happen.
We must get you back aboard Talyn.
They'd never let me stay with him.
We don't know that.
Not unless I have something to trade.
Sir.
I talked to Crais.
You have something for me? Yes.
A demand.
Get him out of my get him out of my sight! I demand that I suffer no repercussions for any of my actions during exile.
I demand assurances that the Leviathan hybrid will be resurrected that I will be leader of that project working alongside Lieutenant Larell! Stop.
Let him speak.
You have something comparable, I assume.
More than comparable.
Any deal you strike with me may not prove enforceable once Commandant Grazer returns.
If you delineate my requests in an Executive Order, signed while you are still in command of this vessel High Command must honor it no matter what dishonor you may endure.
I accept your terms.
Release him.
Scorpius Crichton has no intention of helping you.
He has determined that there is only one way to stop you and your experiments with finality.
He is conspiring with some of Moya's crew, to destroy this Command Carrier.
Ow let me go! Ow.
ow Got an injury? Let's have a look.
All right.
Well, this may sting a little.
When I was your age, do you have any idea how many times I was ambushed when I wasn't ready? Let me see.
Hm Cadet, at service now.
Henta.
Let it bleed.
Let it scar.
You'll want it.
Go.
Don't make her soft, Aeryn.
There's so much you don't know, Henta.
What are you doing here? We need to talk.
There's a problem.
Follow me.
We secured the information about the ship's modifications.
We got word on the lifepods.
Great.
Let's get the information, get it to Crichton and get the frell outta here.
The equations they're flowing from you like a Walteran Fountain.
This is wonderful, Crichton! It seems your subconscious has blossomed.
Despite yourself you are delivering the secrets that will allow me to succeed.
And, ah no more distractions, John.
Your plot against this ship has failed.
Your friends are in custody.
You are dead! You are a dead man, Crais! If Grazer insists that they all complete their sentences as prisoners, then so be it.
No! No, no.
I forced them to do it.
I demand you let 'em go if you want me to keep working You will demand nothing! You give me my wormholes or, I swear I will kill them all! We didn't actually do anything.
I mean, all they have is our intent.
They're Peacekeepers Jool.
They're not into justice.
They're into enforcement.
Hey.
Come on.
We've been in worse scrapes than this.
I was a Peacekeeper prisoner for eight cycles.
And I think that I spent every, single solar day trying to escape.
Last time it took me a hundred and thirty cycles to escape.
A hundred and thirty cycles? Huh.
I was lucky.
You wanted to see me? No.
Stop it.
It's safe to talk here, and you need to hear this.
I need to kick his ass! He sold us out! You can't destroy this ship by simply throwing a few switches.
So you set 'em up.
No, Crichton, I did not.
I needed the distraction, so that Scorpius would believe that the plot against him had failed.
I kept Aeryn safe, because I need her.
You should come up with a newer line.
And you should listen to him, now.
All that I have cared for have gone.
My parents taken away from me, my brother dead.
So now, I live, I plan, I do all in the service of my own interests.
In that, I believe, I am not unique in the universe.
Snap this up.
I gotta get back.
Despite all of this, I understand the power of the technology that Scorpius is attempting to harness.
I understand the horror that will wash over this galaxy if anyone wields this weapon.
And, last of all, I now know that I am the only individual capable of stopping him.
Have fun.
Listen.
We all were on the same team.
We all want this ship destroyed.
And the only way to do that is with Talyn.
Crais is proposing that he and Talyn Starburst while still inside the Command Carrier hangar.
The Carrier will collapse upon itself outer decks first, central core last.
It will take at least half an arn for the ship to fully implode.
Giving the crew time to abandon ship.
Tell me you believe this.
Do you have a plan to destroy the ship? Not yet.
D'Argo and the others are probably in a holding cell, and I can find them.
Where do we meet up with you and Talyn? You don't.
Starburst in a confined space, where the energy can't dissipate It will be the hero's death that Talyn deserves.
You're gonna die? I will need a ah, significant distraction to keep Scorpius occupied.
Crais I'll get you one.
Yo, Harrison! Get your shoes on.
We're goin' on a little trip to my module.
But, dear Crichton! You smell this? Wormholes.
We are this close.
But you gotta get Scorpy to call off the watchdogs.
- What's happening? - Nothing.
You forget how well I know you.
I can tell you're about to do something.
You do know me very well.
If I suspect you're conspiring against Scorpius, I must report it.
Larell.
If you suspect anything, you must report it.
Do not be disloyal to Scorpius in any way.
Tell me Tell Scorpius it's not going to work.
Next time he sends someone to spy on me send someone I care about! Crichton! Crichton! We must hurry.
Scorpius said we must not stay on Moya long.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm on my way.
Quickly, check the stabilizers.
Moya understands.
She says it is best this way.
Talyn was always destined for a violent end.
This then, at least, will be a noble one.
We may never see any of you again.
Pilot.
Just be ready to Starburst if you don't see us haulin' ass towards you.
You give Moya my love.
and her love to you as well as mine.
Check the nose cone.
Co-Kura.
Make sure those sensors are far away from the hetch drive.
Attach one to either side.
I allowed you to get this Primitive ship.
How is it going to get me what I want? Read the middle finger, Scorpy.
I have a thought, forming in my head as to why this primitive ship, with no shielding, allows me to survive wormholes.
I'm gonna check it out.
Which pilot is ready for deployment? Whoa, no.
No, no.
Nobody flies it but me.
One of your bozos screws up and bye-bye birdie.
You could die, John.
Yes, I could die.
If I don't kick this project in the ass before Commandant Cleavage gets back, she's gonna execute me anyway, right? What? You worried if I turn to silly putty, so do you? Why don't you come with me? Come on, Grasshopper.
Come with me.
You spent your life in search of wormholes, let me introduce you to one up close and personal.
Unless, of course, you're too scared.
Co-Kura? How are the sensors reading? All sensor data flowing at maximum.
All right, Scorp.
You ready to rumble? Oh, yes, John.
We are approaching optimal attitude.
All data still flowing.
Entering the wormholein ten microts.
On my mark.
Check your drag co-efficient, Crichton.
Huh.
What do you think? This is without description, John.
It's a real Kodak moment.
Sensor readings are starting to oscillate.
Crichton, we're detecting rantath flux.
What is that, John? I don't know.
You're approaching the zone of possible instability.
Alright, buckle up back there.
We got a little problem.
What is causing this, John? You may not know it, sir, but my orders have been changed by Scorpius himself.
He said if you tried to board the hybrid again, I was authorized to shoot to kill.
Sensor readings.
They're all in the danger zone.
Do you read me? Crichton? Commander Crichton! Do you read me? Do you read me?! Can you read me? Crichton Get me readings! Are either of them still alive? I'm going to enjoy this command.
Not as much as me.
Co-Kura.
We are experiencing heavy instabilities.
Attempting to recoover.
What is causing this, John? Flying through wormholes ain't like dusting crops, farmboy.
It takes a little finesse.
Okay, Co-Kura.
We are stabilizing.
Sensor reading confirm that.
Now you go.
I've never felt this connected, John.
You're not goin' all mushy on me back there, are ya? The wormhole appears to be experiencing wave fluctuations.
I I I strongly recommend that you fly clear and return to the carrier.
Right.
Yes, Talyn I am here No need to be afraid.
Talyn the firing mechanism on your cannon was taken from you by the Peacekeepers.
The rest have been captured.
And Moya Moya will soon be enslaved unless we do something.
Something radical.
You and I together.
You haven't got your wormhole legs yet.
Don't worry.
First time is the worst.
Scorpius I am just making my final good-byes.
Where are you, Crais? I am standing in your heart and I am about to squeeze.
Braca Find the source of this transmission, and arrest that fool.
It's coming from the hybrid, in the gamma hangar on level twelve.
The hybrid's powering up.
You are the most repellant of creatures, Scorpius.
You weren't born into Peacekeepers.
You weren't conscripted against your will.
You chose to be one.
I want the bay doors sealed.
All prowlers scrambled.
That hybrid must not get away! The hybrid's building to maximum power, inside the hangar.
I don't think he's planning to escape.
The last time I left this ship My ship I did so under a veil of secrecy.
You forced that situation.
You took away my command.
You stole my life from me.
Well, this time Scorpius I am not leaving quietly.
Somebody find that fool and get him out of that ship! Somebody get that traitor off that ship! I suggest you hang onto something.
Talyn Starbust.
What the frell? Emergency.
Emergency.
D'Argo.
He's done it.
It's going down.
Yes, Moya.
I see it.
I see it.
Let us out! Crichton! He's done it! He's done it! He's killed the ship! Yes! But he's also killing us! We're still frelling trapped! I want out!!!!! Clear the area! Move it! Move! Evacuation procedures now! We have to go.
No! I must save our data.
This ship is dead! The wormhole experiment is over, Co-Kura It's for the best.
You had something to do with this! But you wanted this too! More than you knew.
To stabilize a wormhole.
To tame it, to tame it's power would have been the greatest scientific discovery anyone could imagine! It is not just science! It is never just science.
It's a weapon.
It kills.
And I will not let the Peacekeepers have it.
Do you understand me? Yes, I understand.
But you still have the knowledge in your mind.
Then, I'll have to be very very careful.
Can you get to an escape pod? Commander Other than you, there is one receptacle which holds significant data pertaining to wormhole research.
If he lives Scorpius will find me force me to tell him what I know.
Damn.
What're we gonna do about that? Only one thing to do.
The Aurora Chair will erase all wormhole knowledge from my mind.
Yeah, but Co-Kura, the chair won't wipe what I know, and if it could I don't know that I could do what you're doin'.
You're a brave man.
D'Argo Aeryn Chiana Aeryn! This way! Chiana Down here! Down here! We're gonna be Boolite goo real soon! It's bent the bars! Come on, Chiana, let's go.
Sir! Attention Personnel.
This is Scorpius.
The Command Carrier is collapsing in on itself.
Priority One escape procedures for the entire ship, are now in effect.
Braca Come with me! Crichton, are you still with Co-Kura? Yeah, Aeryn.
You okay? Yes, The others are attending to business and then we should be seeking transport.
Do not wait for me.
I'm gonna get to the module.
I'll meet you back at Moya.
Crichton It would have been nice to know it could have been done.
Pilot Pilot, can you hear me? D'Argo! Is that you? This Command Carrier is blowing to bits.
And we can not get an escape pod off.
I need transportation out of here now! What do you want me to do? Patch me through to my ship.
Doing it now.
Voice activation On Weapons and defense shields activate.
Prepare for rescue retrieval.
Officer Sun! Drop your weapon.
You did this, didn't you? You and your fellow traitors.
There are fifty thousand of us.
We gave you enough time.
Most of you will survive.
Most.
I know that by destroying this ship I am saving millions of lives, Henta.
Too bad you can't save yourself.
D'Argo, Moya's scans are rising to critical.
If we're not away from here when the Command Carrier implodes, it will destroy Moya! We're on our way, Pilot.
Give us sixty microts! Looks like our partnership is over.
John Crichton.
Commander John Crichton.
Generations will know that name.
Because of you very soon now, the Scarrans will destroy us.
One evil at a time.
That's the best I can do.
Tell me.
Ghandi You still goin' after Earth? To what purpose? Vengeance against you? The only vengeance I cared about is no longer within my grasp! While holding two lights, depress 3-1-7, then release.
Hold two.
Press 9-1-1 and release.
We were close.
If we're gonna get off this boat, now would be a good time.
I may not be getting off this ship, John.
Good-bye Crichton.
Scorpius.
The others are on D'Argo's ship.
I've taken a prowler and I'm leaving now.
On my way.
Aeryn? What! Fly safe.
We all knew the time would come when we'd split up.
In the beginning, I would never even have believed it could take so long.
Don't think I'm gonna to miss you.
Any of you.
I'm not.
Well, maybe a little bit.
What are you going to do, Chiana? I think I might I might try and find the Nebari Resistance.
Should we manage to reunite you with your people will you be leaving us? From what I can tell Pilot, I won't be the only one leaving Moya soon.
