Killjoys (2015) s04e04 Episode Script
What to Expect When You're Expecting... an Alien Parasite
1 [TENSE MUSIC.]
Previously on "Killjoys" - Something's wrong.
- What the hells is that? The Hullen only need us as hosts because they can't reproduce on their own.
No way that's a normal human kid.
[GRUNTS.]
Go, go, go! - John! - [PANTING.]
I've never Hullenized anyone with so little plasma.
We don't know what it could do to him.
I'm back, bitches.
Johnny J.
is alive.
I know how to find Dutch.
- How? - All I need is a green pool.
You think there's more green here? Don't think so, know so.
Give me 24 hours to show you.
What do you think D'Av's gonna do once he figures out what you're really planning? Get out of my head.
There's your pool.
Find Dutch.
- Then we go.
- My plan is to take enough green to go full Hullen.
[SHOUTS.]
- [CHOKING.]
- I want to be this.
- [GRUNTING.]
- [ELECTRICITY ZAPPING.]
[GASPING.]
Dutch! Does this mean what I think it means? If you think it means your water just broke, yep.
Shit.
[ENGINES ROARING.]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
Hey [SIGHS.]
Me again.
Everything's good here.
Whole lot has changed since you left.
Turin controls the Armada.
Hullen have taken over the RAC.
Pip and Pree are deputized Killjoys now, which is about as annoying as it sounds.
And also 8% adorable.
Delle Seyah is about to give birth any second now, which I guess means I'm about to be a dad.
She seems to be taking it well.
[BREATHING SHARPLY.]
Get off me.
You sound like an asthmatic pervert.
- Are you in pain? - You mean other than being groped by you mouth-breathers? No.
Can you do this without Armada supplies? Pretty much everything I need is on that table.
- Oh, except lube.
- Oh, uh - flavored, non-flavored? - Wrong situation, Pip.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
It's in case I need to - get up in there.
- Oh.
You're not dealing with an amateur here.
I started delivering calves when I was 12.
- It's all about the tiny hands.
- And hard drugs.
- Or large drinks, barkeep.
- Coming up.
'Cause you and me both.
[HISSES.]
Oh, over here.
Let me see your nails.
[MUFFLED GRUNTING AND THUDDING.]
Stop.
You're gonna crack your damn skull.
I can't help myself.
I know.
[BREATHING HEAVILY.]
You can't hold on to me forever.
But I can try.
[GRUNTING.]
John's doing great.
He misses you.
Why does he keep doing that head-banging thing? Concussive stimulation.
The parasite is causing a massive secondary inflammation - in his brain right now.
- [SIGHS.]
Hitting himself seems to relieve the pressure.
Great.
Great, so everything's under control.
- How's Dutch doing? - Still unconscious.
- Delle Seyah? - I wish she was unconscious.
Okay, tell me the truth.
How long does John have until we can't cure him? I don't know.
But time isn't our only problem.
Whatever happened to the pool on the prison planet affected the green on Lucy too.
- Shit, how? - Don't know.
- Proximity, contamination - Wait, wait, so all the plasma we have is frozen.
I wouldn't call it frozen.
It's just solid.
Can't even make Hullen margaritas.
Okay, well, that simplifies shit.
We just need to get to the Armada and hope like hell they have some of John's source plasma left so we can cleanse him.
The Armada's five days' travel.
What if we don't have that long? Lucy, put me through to Turin.
We need him to send a jumpship for emergency evac.
The Armada is not responding to attempts at hailing.
I can no longer locate its signal coordinates.
So you are saying that we are trapped out here with my sick brother, the first-ever human-Hullen birth, and our only chance at rescue just disappeared.
Affirmative.
Yeah.
Everything is super good.
[SOMBER MUSIC.]
[MUFFLED THUDDING.]
Please wake up.
[ROCK MUSIC.]
Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh, ooh [FOREBODING MUSIC.]
A story can't save my life.
This one can, if you listen to every word.
[PANTING.]
It could save all of us.
[SIGHS.]
When the nights were long and the days were deep, there lived a warrior and the thief who was about to save us all.
Wake up.
Find John Jaqobis.
[GASPS.]
[EXCLAIMS SOFTLY.]
[GRUNTS.]
[ELECTRICITY ZAPPING.]
[PANTING.]
Open.
- Lucy? - Yes, Dutch? - Open the door.
- I'm sorry.
I appear to be on general lockdown.
Why? - You're lying.
- I'm not sure I possess that capacity.
Well, now you're definitely lying.
Would you like to hear a story? Johnny has trouble sleeping sometimes, so I have 432,000 bedtime stories.
- Lucy! - I'm under orders not to release you until D'Avin can speak with you.
About what? Where is he? Where is Johnny? Johnny is in the cargo hold.
He is occupied.
[GRUNTS.]
What are you doing? [INTENSE MUSIC.]
Tampering with my system will void the warranty.
[ELECTRICITY CRACKLES.]
[EXHALES DEEPLY.]
You need to push harder! Qreshis don't push.
Not unless we're trying to speed up our inheritance - and there's no witnesses.
- [SCOFFS.]
[BLUBBERING DEEPLY.]
- Is it out yet? - No.
Why can't you just do it? - You're the professional! - This isn't a pedicure.
It's work.
That's why they call it labor.
Oh, aren't you clever? How long have you been sitting on that one? Everything's looking really squiggly.
That's good, right? Why is Pip on monitor duty? Why is Pip on any duty? Bedside manner, chief.
By the way, what do you think she's got cooking up in there? Human? Hullen? You wanna place a bet? That's my kid we're talking about, - not a science experiment.
- Technically, your kid is a science experiment.
Uh, speaking of which, D'Avin, you wanna take a walk over there? [SNAPPING FINGERS.]
Water.
Smooth.
- What's going on? - Baby's too big.
Yeah, I should have mentioned the Jaqobis are fat until high school.
Not fat, big.
And growing fast.
The cell regeneration rate has tripled since active labor started.
You're saying we can't get it out? I'm saying if we don't get it out quickly, she'll have a five-year-old camping out in her uterus.
What the hells is going on? - [SIGHS.]
- Dutch.
You shouldn't be here.
[MONITOR BEEPING RAPIDLY.]
Squiggles turned into spikes.
- What's wrong with the baby? - It's not the baby.
It's you.
Your heart rate's jumping all over the place.
Okay, everybody without a biomedical degree, out.
- Come on.
- [RAPID BEEPING CONTINUES.]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
I'm fine.
It's nothing.
[BEEPING SLOWS.]
She just looks so much like Aneela.
[SIGHS.]
Are you okay? - What happened to you? - Forget about me.
Where's Johnny? Did I shoot him? - A little bit, yeah.
- So he's hurt? Not because of you.
He was hurt way before all that.
D'Av, get to the point.
We were trying to find you.
John got hurt, bad.
I had to improvise.
What did you do to him? [MUFFLED THUDDING AND GRUNTING.]
Johnny.
Lucy, unlock the lounge.
Johnny? You.
Get out.
Get out of here! [PANTING.]
He was hurt.
We were alone.
Delle Seyah had one last bit of green.
You made him Hullen.
You promised me you'd take care of him.
- Dutch - How could you make him - into one of those things? - I had no choice.
D'Avin, Zeph needs you.
I had no choice.
I did what I had to do to save him.
You're not the only person who loves him, Dutch.
And you weren't there, so you don't get to judge.
What happened in the green? God damn it, D'Avin, get down here! It's baby o'clock! - [PANTING.]
- [THUNDER BOOMING.]
- [EERIE MUSIC.]
- [WOMAN VOCALIZING.]
[EERIE WHISPERING.]
[THUNDER BOOMING.]
[WIND RUSHING.]
- [THUNDER BOOMS.]
- [GASPS.]
[THUNDER BOOMS.]
But you'll always end up right back here.
[THUNDER BOOMING.]
Don't get up.
I'm making tea.
How did I get back here? - Where's Khlyen? - Out, looking for you.
I told him I'd find you first.
[GROANS SOFTLY.]
You have to rest.
You almost died out there.
But I saved you.
You're welcome.
I guess I'm not used to you not trying to murder me and everyone I love.
Me neither.
I could use the practice.
You can't keep risking yourself for everyone else, Yale.
You matter too.
How about, for once, you let someone look after you? [SINISTER MUSIC.]
Okay, so this this is happening.
It's really happening.
Wow.
I feel like we should say something.
Should should I should I say something? Yes, because it's always about the father.
Should I Do you want to hold my hand or No, not unless you want to lose it.
I just know this can be a difficult time Can you give him drugs, please? If you two are done bickering, I could use some help over here.
Okay.
Once I make the incision, I need you to clamp this sucker open fast.
Let me know if you feel any pain.
Okay, but you know I won't.
Not unless cheekbones over there decides to open his mouth again.
On three.
One two three.
Let's make a baby.
[EERIE MUSIC.]
- Holy shit.
- Did you just see that? All right, enough whispering, you old maids.
- What? - The pregnancy hormones must be speeding up the healing response.
I can't hold the incision open long enough.
I can't even make an incision.
I don't know how to get this baby out of you.
I see.
I could really use that drink right now, please.
[INHALES SHAKILY.]
[NO AUDIBLE DIALOGUE.]
Johnny.
It's me.
It's Dutch.
I know who you are.
Then look at me, please.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
I brought you some water.
I don't know if it helps.
Dutch, I'm Hullen, not dehydrated.
Yeah.
I think there's something you're supposed to tell me.
A message from Khlyen.
Lady, you really need to see a doctor - about your daddy issues.
- Johnny, focus.
- Please.
- I don't need to focus.
I know exactly what Daddy dearest wants me to say.
Just let me out, and I will tell you.
No, thanks.
Hullen or human, I know when you're lying.
Why? Because you're my real friend? Yes.
[LAUGHING.]
If you were my real friend, you never would have left.
And this never would have happened.
Is that a lie? No.
It's not even the worst thing I've screwed up lately, but I'm gonna fix it.
- All of it.
- Really? You think that you can? Yes.
I'm sorry, darling.
But I can tell when you're lying too.
What are you hiding, Yalena Yardeen? Why did you run from the ruins? Khlyen wanted me to face the Lady.
How? [SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
What's taking him so long? - We're not safe here.
- What, you think we're safe out there? You need to get out of the green while you can.
Great.
I'm open to suggestions.
That's your party trick, remember? - Not mine.
- We're two of a kind.
Maybe whatever I can do in the green, you can too.
Khlyen always protects you.
He wouldn't have sent you to the Lady unless he knew there was a way you could escape her.
Think.
[MYSTICAL MUSIC.]
- The story.
- What? I remember.
I was supposed to talk to Johnny about something when I get out.
Something about Khlyen's story.
Maybe he was telling you a way out.
Hidden in the story.
Do you remember what it was about? Yes, I do.
But also so should you.
I know you're not Aneela.
Did you really think I was this stupid? Honestly? I really did.
[GRUNTS.]
Oh, we're going to have so much fun.
[LAUGHS DEVIOUSLY.]
[ENGINES WHOOSHING.]
All right, that's it.
I want a new doctor.
- Any new doctor.
- I know it's crazy, but it's the only solution I can think of.
It's just basic transfusion.
It won't cleanse you, but if I can weaken your Hullen response, I think we have a shot at successful surgery.
You have that magic pony repulsion skill with plasma.
I've been reading John's files on Sabine.
- Wait, who? - Hullen sleeper agent.
I weakened her Hullen side.
Did you literally bore her into wishing - she could die? - Actually, he banged the green out of her.
- Hmph.
- [SCOFFS DISGUSTEDLY.]
Sex does sometimes help with labor.
Oh, co okay.
No.
I will take the transfusion instead.
- Suit yourself.
- You know what? Maybe I'm not even interested.
Stop.
You're embarrassing yourself.
How will I know if it's working? I'm not feeling ah! Whoa.
What the hells is that? I think it's called childbirth.
[GROANS.]
Well, knock it off.
- What are we, monkeys? - This is good.
If you're feeling pain, it means it's working.
Delle Seyah, look at me.
Pain is just a state of mind.
- [GROWLS.]
- [HOLLERS.]
State of mind [GASPS.]
- Ow! - [PANTING.]
I feel cold.
- Why is it so cold? - That's normal.
When labor hits the transitional stage, you - [MONITOR BEEPING RAPIDLY.]
- [ALARMS BEEPING.]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
- Is that normal? - Shit.
Blood pressure's dropping.
Both heart rates are crashing.
Whatever your magic pony powers are, they're not just affecting Delle Seyah.
They're affecting the baby.
- [RETCHES.]
- Whoa.
Okay, you need to stop this.
If we stop now, we may never get it out.
[SIGHS.]
[SHUDDERING.]
It's not our call to make, and she's not able to make it.
- Disconnect her.
- [DEVICE BEEPS.]
- [ALARMS STOP.]
- [BEEPING SLOWS.]
- [COUGHS.]
- [SLOW BEEPING.]
Okay, I think we're good.
[SIGHS RELIEVEDLY.]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
[EERIE WHISPERING.]
Listen Break into Listen Listen Break into break into What are you doing? Hey! Hey, um what are you doing here? I thought you were, - like, grounded, or something.
- Pip.
Right.
Since I have you here, um you seem really close with Johnny.
Did you ever take that to, like, another place? - Out.
- Okay.
Just asking for a friend.
[SOFT MUSIC.]
[CHUCKLES.]
It was good to be home, Luce.
[INSTRUMENT PANEL BEEPING.]
[MACHINERY HUMMING.]
Are you sure you want me to do that, Dutch? [EERIE MUSIC.]
[PANTING.]
[EERIE CRACKLING.]
[THUNDER BOOMING.]
- [THUNDER BOOMS.]
- [MOANS.]
[THUNDER BOOMING SHARPLY.]
But you'll always end up right back here.
[EERIE CRACKLING.]
You think a new face would work any better? Let's find out.
This one seems special to you, as does this place.
The harem where I grew up.
How do you know about it? You.
You gave me all your memories when you forced Aneela's hand into the green.
Thank you for that, by the way.
Filled in a lot of missing pieces.
But not all of it.
There are things that you don't know, - like how to get out of here.
- True.
But then again, Little Bird, neither do you.
[GRUNTS.]
[TENSE MUSIC.]
Ah! [GRUNTS.]
Well done, you.
It's been such a long time since I was surprised.
I admit, you surprised me.
Compliment not accepted, you creepy stalker.
I appreciate your pluck.
I really do.
It's one of the few things I admire about humans.
And I admire the Hullens' ability to be the biggest gaping assholes in the room.
Hullen? Oh, child.
I am much, much older than that.
- What are you? - Patient.
Hullen are my tools.
So is Khlyen and Aneela.
- Soon it will be you.
- I wouldn't count on it.
- I don't play well with others.
- Yes, I can see that.
I can see most things in here.
The green is a memory pool.
But then I noticed certain memories were missing, edited out.
A moment here, a face there.
Snip, snip, snip.
Until there was a void.
- [GRUNTS.]
- You are the void.
Khlyen hid you from me.
I need to know why.
You're not as smart as you think you are.
And you are not as strong as they need you to be.
[YELPS.]
[PANTING.]
Ah! [GRUNTS.]
[MONITOR BEEPING.]
How's she doing? Stable, but it won't stay that way.
This is a Band-Aid, not a solution.
Lucy, what's our ETA on the Quad? We're no longer heading for the Quad.
Dutch has changed course.
[FOREBODING MUSIC.]
[ENGINES ROARING.]
What are you doing? - Saving John.
- So are we, which is why we're headed for the Armada.
The Armada's too far.
John's map says that there's a moon with a green pool within minutes from here.
What good is some random pool to Johnny? Dutch, what is going on with you? We've arrived at the coordinates, but there appears to be an anomaly.
- What anomaly? - Initial scans indicate no presence of the Hullen parasite.
The pool is inactive.
But it's on John's plasma maps.
Is it frozen, like the pool I came out of? Visual indicators are positive for crystallization.
Lucy, show me John's map of all the plasma pools - in the J.
- [DISPLAY CHIRPS.]
Which ones still have active plasma? [DISPLAY CHIRPS.]
It's frozen.
All of it.
Everywhere.
If there's no more plasma, how the hells are we gonna cleanse John? [FOREBODING MUSIC.]
Uh-oh.
Mommy and Daddy.
This isn't good.
If you're not gonna take 'em off, can you at least loosen them up? They're rubbing me raw.
I think I'll stay here for now.
You don't trust me? That's fair.
- You do realize that I - We can't fix you, Johnny.
- Is this a test? - No.
'Cause if this is a test, I think I'm done being your guinea pig.
Finish what you started.
- We can't.
- Bullshit! Prego said that she could.
That there's plasma on the Armada - that could fix me.
- It's gone.
All the green pools, all the plasma, it's solidified.
This is your fault.
Isn't it? You know what it's like to be caught in between.
Well, I can't stand looking at your beautiful damn face anymore.
[HUFFS.]
Because it hurts.
My heart, it keeps switching from Hullen to human.
And I keep losing you both of you over and over again.
[LAUGHS.]
And I don't even care which one I am anymore, but I cannot live in between.
[SIGHS.]
I'm so sorry.
Are you sad? Is that hard to hear? [SINISTER MUSIC.]
Then end this.
You coward.
I am not giving up hope.
[SIGHS.]
I am.
[SNARLS.]
[TETHERS RATTLE.]
[GROWLS.]
- [GASPS.]
- What are you doing? [LAUGHS.]
- [GRUNTS.]
- Johnny, stop it! - [GROWLS.]
- Johnny, stop! Johnny! It's his neck.
He's broken his goddamn neck.
- [HIGH-PITCHED RINGING.]
- [GRUNTS, GASPS.]
You're wasting my time.
This is just bits of old memories.
None of it's real.
None of it matters! That's the beautiful thing about human minds.
You don't just remember faces, places.
You remember how you felt.
- You remember pain.
- [GROANS.]
Agony.
[TERRIFYING MUSIC.]
Shame.
Oh.
Grief.
- [GASPS.]
- And I can trap you in your worst memories forever.
Would you like that? [PANTING.]
- No.
- No, what? No, thank you.
See? Memories aren't just where you've been.
They're who you are.
And if I own that, I own you.
And when I get out of here, Little Flea, I will own everyone.
[MONITOR BEEPING.]
Is it broken? - What happened? - He ran at Dutch.
He wouldn't stop.
[COMPUTER HUMMING, BEEPING.]
[FOREBODING MUSIC.]
- Why are you stopping? - You see that? Knife.
I need a knife.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
- [GRUNTS.]
- What are you doing? Trying to stop the break from healing.
What the hells for, you moron? Look.
The parasite in the brain, it's dying.
When Johnny snapped his spinal column, it must have triggered something.
If I can hold the knife in long enough and the parasite dies completely, - he'll be cleansed.
- And dead.
Not if I can work fast enough.
We're not risking Johnny's life on an "if.
" It's your call.
At least we'll know we tried everything we could.
[SIGHS.]
Wait for it.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
Wait for it.
- [GRUNTS.]
- [SUSTAINED BEEP.]
- [DEVICE BEEPS.]
- It's not working! I don't tell you how to shoot.
Don't tell me how to science.
[COMPUTER CHIRPS.]
[MONITOR BEEPING STEADILY.]
- Johnny.
- [GROANS.]
Johnny, hey.
[HOARSELY.]
Hey.
- What's up? - [SIGHS RELIEVEDLY.]
Holy shit.
I can't believe that worked.
[SMACKS LIPS.]
Anyone have a mint? [MELLOW MUSIC.]
[SIGHS RELIEVEDLY.]
- [BITTERSWEET MUSIC.]
- [DOOR HISSES.]
Have showers always felt this good? I don't know, but that's your sixth.
- You can probably stop now.
- Well, clearly, you haven't recently been infected by evil parasites.
- Lucky.
- [LAUGHS SOFTLY.]
It's nice to have you back on board.
Same.
[GROANS.]
I don't even want to think of all the things I have to apologize for.
Pretty sure I shot D'Av a bunch.
Yeah, but that's like a hug in our family by now, so Hey, no one's gonna blame you for whatever you did while Hullen.
You had no choice.
I gotta admit there were a few enjoyable moments.
Yeah, not so much the neck breaking.
- And don't ever do that again.
- I'm giving it up.
New Year's resolution.
Johnny, I need your help.
Something happened to me in the green.
Something about you.
[DRAMATIC MUSICAL STING.]
Where are my manners? You must be parched.
Please.
I could do this all day.
[SHUSHES.]
Time to sing, Little Bird.
- No.
- Show me what you're hiding.
[BOTH GRUNT.]
[GRUNTING.]
[GASPS.]
[HYPERVENTILATING.]
So now we have no money and no ship.
Fine.
We tried it my way.
- Now we'll try it your way.
- How are ya? - So good to see you! - Hey.
My friend's getting into a fight.
100 joy says he wins.
Blue eyes? Hey! Give me my wallet! [SWEEPING SINISTER MUSIC.]
Why did Khlyen tell you this story? [ECHOING.]
Why John Jaqobis? And she went back to that story over and over.
I broke, Johnny.
She was inside me.
She knows everything except why Khlyen told me that story, why he said to find you.
What does that mean? [LAUGHS UNEASILY.]
Dutch, I don't know.
Where is Dutch? This is ridiculous.
She can't hide from me forever.
My baby's trying to split me in half, and you're offering me ice chips? Sweetheart you stabbed one of my dearest friends in my bar.
And as soon as that baby's out of your entitled belly, I'll be happy to return the favor.
Until then ice chip? [DOOR HISSES.]
Okay.
Who's ready to have this fat-ass baby? Because I am 92% sure I can replicate what happened to John and make it happen here.
If you say enema, I will kill you.
Right.
Forgot you weren't there.
So basically, I severed John's spinal cord to cleanse him without killing him.
- Sorry, what? - The Hullen parasite lives in the brain.
It must need to be in constant contact with the host's body in some kind of bio-feedback loop.
That's why the dreadnaught works.
It severs the connection.
You're saying I won't be Hullen anymore.
Yeah.
I'm also saying you'll still be alive, and so will the baby.
Well, half a win is better than nothing.
- Do you have any questions? - Yes.
Where is Dutch? Dutch isn't gonna help you get this baby out.
I am.
Understand? - [SIGHS.]
- I'm gonna scrub up.
This can't be happening.
Not like this.
[DOOR HISSES.]
[BODY THUDS.]
Ice chip that, you arrogant waiter.
[FOREBODING MUSIC.]
What does it mean? - [YELPS.]
- How does that story help me? - Help you what? - Get out! If I knew that, I wouldn't be here, you shitty bitch! [LAUGHS.]
What? I almost hope that you do make it out into my world, 'cause whatever you are, I'm going to enjoy making you bleed there.
Or maybe I've planned a human welcome party.
Hmm? Maybe I have something special waiting for me outside.
- Hmm? - [PANTING.]
- What's waiting for you? - Hmm.
Better question.
Would you like to see what's waiting for you? [GASPS.]
- [GRUNTS.]
- [YELPS.]
[GASPS.]
[GASPS, YELLS.]
Oh.
Do you not like what you see? [PANTING HYSTERICALLY.]
Oh, you can run, Little Flea.
But you'll always end up right back here.
[SINISTER MUSIC.]
[EXHALES DEEPLY.]
I think it's time we had a talk, just us girls.
Where is Aneela? [DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
What do you want, Delle Seyah? Out.
I want out of this ship.
I want this baby out of my belly.
And I want to know what you did to Aneela.
Okay.
Number one, we're in the middle of space.
I'm very aware of where we are.
And number two, Zeph is trying - to get that baby out.
- Have you heard how? - [GUN COCKING.]
- And three, let her go.
You're really gonna risk your child over Dutch? You really gonna risk finding out? - [BREATHING HEAVILY.]
- [BREATHING HOARSELY.]
Kill me here, or kill me in there.
- Isn't much of a choice.
- We're trying to help.
I don't want your help.
I want - I need to see Aneela.
- Sorry, you can't.
Why not? What did you do to her? Where is she? She's trapped in the green because I left her there.
- You what? - Maybe not the best way to de-escalate a situation, Dutch.
- But I'm gonna go back.
- What have you done? - She needs to be here now.
- Look, - I know how alone you feel - Do I need to crash the ship just to make you shut up? This child isn't just part of me or him.
It's part of Aneela.
Do you understand what that means? It's unique.
How are you or any of us going to protect it without her? - Protect it from who? - The Lady.
That's what she was talking about when she said something was waiting for her.
Aneela thought her experiments were for her father.
When she realized who they were really for, she knew enough to be afraid.
- Do you? - Listen, Delle Seyah.
I will find my way back to Aneela, and I will save her.
I swear.
And why would you do that for her? Because she saved me.
[EERIE MUSIC.]
- [PANTING.]
- [THUNDER BOOMING.]
[EERIE WHISTLING.]
You shouldn't be doing this on your own, Yale.
I didn't give you life just so you can throw it away.
It's you.
It's really you.
I tried to stop her.
She's too strong.
She's - she's everywhere.
- I know.
That's why you have to go.
But you can't fight her alone.
Maybe not.
But I can keep her in here so you can stop her out there.
[SOLEMN MUSIC.]
[MONITOR BEEPING SLOWLY.]
Are you ready? So much like her.
All right.
Don't you all fight over who gets to kill me.
Ready to sever the spinal cord.
If it works, you won't even know it happened I hope.
[INHALES SHARPLY.]
[TENSE MUSIC.]
- Be careful.
- Be brutal.
Go.
Did it did it work? - [BABY COOING.]
- You tell us.
[BABY FUSSES.]
[TENDER MUSIC.]
What do you feel? - [BABY COOS.]
- Everything.
And I hate every single minute of it.
I just want to run some tests Get your hands off of me, you dirty veterinarian.
[BABY COOS.]
- Oh - Look at that.
- You did it.
- He did nothing.
[BABY CRYING.]
[INHALES SHAKILY.]
Okay, you can take him now.
[CRYING CONTINUES.]
[BABY BABBLES.]
Hi.
Have you thought about names yet? Why don't you just make me a drink? For your head.
Doctor's orders.
So now that Delle Seyah's a human, you're not gonna, you know, try and kill her, are you? [SIGHS.]
- She had a rough day.
- Mm.
She gets one free shot.
One.
Dutch? Listen, I owe all of you a story about where I've been.
At first, it was just me and Aneela [SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
And Khlyen in the green.
And then the Lady came.
She's the real enemy here.
So do you know how to beat her? No.
But I know how it ends.
Would you like to see what's waiting for you? [GASPS.]
- [GRUNTS.]
- [YELPS.]
Please.
Please, Johnny! It's me! Dutch! Who the hells is Johnny? No.
We lose.
Is this supposed to be a pep talk? Dutch, whatever some Hullen bitch told you She's not Hullen.
I don't know what she is or how to stop her yet.
But I know she'll make her move now that I'm out.
- - [DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
[DRAMATIC MUSICAL STING.]
Khlyen gave us what we need to fight her.
Yeah, we just need to figure out - what the hells that is.
- We will.
If you're with me.
The Ferren have a saying: when you choose your family, you choose your fight.
[MOTIVATIONAL MUSIC.]
So we fight.
Uh, one question: if this Lady's in the green and all the green is frozen, why not just let them stay that way, - keep her in? - Because Aneela's strong.
But she will break.
[EERIE MUSIC.]
No one's coming to save you.
If you don't give me a way out, you're locked in here with me.
You're also locked in here with me.
And who's going to save you? And if the Lady gets past Aneela Let's begin.
[EERIE WHISPERING.]
She's coming for all of us.
[BREATHING HEAVILY.]
Previously on "Killjoys" - Something's wrong.
- What the hells is that? The Hullen only need us as hosts because they can't reproduce on their own.
No way that's a normal human kid.
[GRUNTS.]
Go, go, go! - John! - [PANTING.]
I've never Hullenized anyone with so little plasma.
We don't know what it could do to him.
I'm back, bitches.
Johnny J.
is alive.
I know how to find Dutch.
- How? - All I need is a green pool.
You think there's more green here? Don't think so, know so.
Give me 24 hours to show you.
What do you think D'Av's gonna do once he figures out what you're really planning? Get out of my head.
There's your pool.
Find Dutch.
- Then we go.
- My plan is to take enough green to go full Hullen.
[SHOUTS.]
- [CHOKING.]
- I want to be this.
- [GRUNTING.]
- [ELECTRICITY ZAPPING.]
[GASPING.]
Dutch! Does this mean what I think it means? If you think it means your water just broke, yep.
Shit.
[ENGINES ROARING.]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
Hey [SIGHS.]
Me again.
Everything's good here.
Whole lot has changed since you left.
Turin controls the Armada.
Hullen have taken over the RAC.
Pip and Pree are deputized Killjoys now, which is about as annoying as it sounds.
And also 8% adorable.
Delle Seyah is about to give birth any second now, which I guess means I'm about to be a dad.
She seems to be taking it well.
[BREATHING SHARPLY.]
Get off me.
You sound like an asthmatic pervert.
- Are you in pain? - You mean other than being groped by you mouth-breathers? No.
Can you do this without Armada supplies? Pretty much everything I need is on that table.
- Oh, except lube.
- Oh, uh - flavored, non-flavored? - Wrong situation, Pip.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
It's in case I need to - get up in there.
- Oh.
You're not dealing with an amateur here.
I started delivering calves when I was 12.
- It's all about the tiny hands.
- And hard drugs.
- Or large drinks, barkeep.
- Coming up.
'Cause you and me both.
[HISSES.]
Oh, over here.
Let me see your nails.
[MUFFLED GRUNTING AND THUDDING.]
Stop.
You're gonna crack your damn skull.
I can't help myself.
I know.
[BREATHING HEAVILY.]
You can't hold on to me forever.
But I can try.
[GRUNTING.]
John's doing great.
He misses you.
Why does he keep doing that head-banging thing? Concussive stimulation.
The parasite is causing a massive secondary inflammation - in his brain right now.
- [SIGHS.]
Hitting himself seems to relieve the pressure.
Great.
Great, so everything's under control.
- How's Dutch doing? - Still unconscious.
- Delle Seyah? - I wish she was unconscious.
Okay, tell me the truth.
How long does John have until we can't cure him? I don't know.
But time isn't our only problem.
Whatever happened to the pool on the prison planet affected the green on Lucy too.
- Shit, how? - Don't know.
- Proximity, contamination - Wait, wait, so all the plasma we have is frozen.
I wouldn't call it frozen.
It's just solid.
Can't even make Hullen margaritas.
Okay, well, that simplifies shit.
We just need to get to the Armada and hope like hell they have some of John's source plasma left so we can cleanse him.
The Armada's five days' travel.
What if we don't have that long? Lucy, put me through to Turin.
We need him to send a jumpship for emergency evac.
The Armada is not responding to attempts at hailing.
I can no longer locate its signal coordinates.
So you are saying that we are trapped out here with my sick brother, the first-ever human-Hullen birth, and our only chance at rescue just disappeared.
Affirmative.
Yeah.
Everything is super good.
[SOMBER MUSIC.]
[MUFFLED THUDDING.]
Please wake up.
[ROCK MUSIC.]
Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh, ooh [FOREBODING MUSIC.]
A story can't save my life.
This one can, if you listen to every word.
[PANTING.]
It could save all of us.
[SIGHS.]
When the nights were long and the days were deep, there lived a warrior and the thief who was about to save us all.
Wake up.
Find John Jaqobis.
[GASPS.]
[EXCLAIMS SOFTLY.]
[GRUNTS.]
[ELECTRICITY ZAPPING.]
[PANTING.]
Open.
- Lucy? - Yes, Dutch? - Open the door.
- I'm sorry.
I appear to be on general lockdown.
Why? - You're lying.
- I'm not sure I possess that capacity.
Well, now you're definitely lying.
Would you like to hear a story? Johnny has trouble sleeping sometimes, so I have 432,000 bedtime stories.
- Lucy! - I'm under orders not to release you until D'Avin can speak with you.
About what? Where is he? Where is Johnny? Johnny is in the cargo hold.
He is occupied.
[GRUNTS.]
What are you doing? [INTENSE MUSIC.]
Tampering with my system will void the warranty.
[ELECTRICITY CRACKLES.]
[EXHALES DEEPLY.]
You need to push harder! Qreshis don't push.
Not unless we're trying to speed up our inheritance - and there's no witnesses.
- [SCOFFS.]
[BLUBBERING DEEPLY.]
- Is it out yet? - No.
Why can't you just do it? - You're the professional! - This isn't a pedicure.
It's work.
That's why they call it labor.
Oh, aren't you clever? How long have you been sitting on that one? Everything's looking really squiggly.
That's good, right? Why is Pip on monitor duty? Why is Pip on any duty? Bedside manner, chief.
By the way, what do you think she's got cooking up in there? Human? Hullen? You wanna place a bet? That's my kid we're talking about, - not a science experiment.
- Technically, your kid is a science experiment.
Uh, speaking of which, D'Avin, you wanna take a walk over there? [SNAPPING FINGERS.]
Water.
Smooth.
- What's going on? - Baby's too big.
Yeah, I should have mentioned the Jaqobis are fat until high school.
Not fat, big.
And growing fast.
The cell regeneration rate has tripled since active labor started.
You're saying we can't get it out? I'm saying if we don't get it out quickly, she'll have a five-year-old camping out in her uterus.
What the hells is going on? - [SIGHS.]
- Dutch.
You shouldn't be here.
[MONITOR BEEPING RAPIDLY.]
Squiggles turned into spikes.
- What's wrong with the baby? - It's not the baby.
It's you.
Your heart rate's jumping all over the place.
Okay, everybody without a biomedical degree, out.
- Come on.
- [RAPID BEEPING CONTINUES.]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
I'm fine.
It's nothing.
[BEEPING SLOWS.]
She just looks so much like Aneela.
[SIGHS.]
Are you okay? - What happened to you? - Forget about me.
Where's Johnny? Did I shoot him? - A little bit, yeah.
- So he's hurt? Not because of you.
He was hurt way before all that.
D'Av, get to the point.
We were trying to find you.
John got hurt, bad.
I had to improvise.
What did you do to him? [MUFFLED THUDDING AND GRUNTING.]
Johnny.
Lucy, unlock the lounge.
Johnny? You.
Get out.
Get out of here! [PANTING.]
He was hurt.
We were alone.
Delle Seyah had one last bit of green.
You made him Hullen.
You promised me you'd take care of him.
- Dutch - How could you make him - into one of those things? - I had no choice.
D'Avin, Zeph needs you.
I had no choice.
I did what I had to do to save him.
You're not the only person who loves him, Dutch.
And you weren't there, so you don't get to judge.
What happened in the green? God damn it, D'Avin, get down here! It's baby o'clock! - [PANTING.]

[THUNDER BOOMING.]
Don't get up.
I'm making tea.
How did I get back here? - Where's Khlyen? - Out, looking for you.
I told him I'd find you first.
[GROANS SOFTLY.]
You have to rest.
You almost died out there.
But I saved you.
You're welcome.
I guess I'm not used to you not trying to murder me and everyone I love.
Me neither.
I could use the practice.
You can't keep risking yourself for everyone else, Yale.
You matter too.
How about, for once, you let someone look after you? [SINISTER MUSIC.]
Okay, so this this is happening.
It's really happening.
Wow.
I feel like we should say something.
Should should I should I say something? Yes, because it's always about the father.
Should I Do you want to hold my hand or No, not unless you want to lose it.
I just know this can be a difficult time Can you give him drugs, please? If you two are done bickering, I could use some help over here.
Okay.
Once I make the incision, I need you to clamp this sucker open fast.
Let me know if you feel any pain.
Okay, but you know I won't.
Not unless cheekbones over there decides to open his mouth again.
On three.
One two three.
Let's make a baby.
[EERIE MUSIC.]
- Holy shit.
- Did you just see that? All right, enough whispering, you old maids.
- What? - The pregnancy hormones must be speeding up the healing response.
I can't hold the incision open long enough.
I can't even make an incision.
I don't know how to get this baby out of you.
I see.
I could really use that drink right now, please.
[INHALES SHAKILY.]
[NO AUDIBLE DIALOGUE.]
Johnny.
It's me.
It's Dutch.
I know who you are.
Then look at me, please.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
I brought you some water.
I don't know if it helps.
Dutch, I'm Hullen, not dehydrated.
Yeah.
I think there's something you're supposed to tell me.
A message from Khlyen.
Lady, you really need to see a doctor - about your daddy issues.
- Johnny, focus.
- Please.
- I don't need to focus.
I know exactly what Daddy dearest wants me to say.
Just let me out, and I will tell you.
No, thanks.
Hullen or human, I know when you're lying.
Why? Because you're my real friend? Yes.
[LAUGHING.]
If you were my real friend, you never would have left.
And this never would have happened.
Is that a lie? No.
It's not even the worst thing I've screwed up lately, but I'm gonna fix it.
- All of it.
- Really? You think that you can? Yes.
I'm sorry, darling.
But I can tell when you're lying too.
What are you hiding, Yalena Yardeen? Why did you run from the ruins? Khlyen wanted me to face the Lady.
How? [SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
What's taking him so long? - We're not safe here.
- What, you think we're safe out there? You need to get out of the green while you can.
Great.
I'm open to suggestions.
That's your party trick, remember? - Not mine.
- We're two of a kind.
Maybe whatever I can do in the green, you can too.
Khlyen always protects you.
He wouldn't have sent you to the Lady unless he knew there was a way you could escape her.
Think.
[MYSTICAL MUSIC.]
- The story.
- What? I remember.
I was supposed to talk to Johnny about something when I get out.
Something about Khlyen's story.
Maybe he was telling you a way out.
Hidden in the story.
Do you remember what it was about? Yes, I do.
But also so should you.
I know you're not Aneela.
Did you really think I was this stupid? Honestly? I really did.
[GRUNTS.]
Oh, we're going to have so much fun.
[LAUGHS DEVIOUSLY.]
[ENGINES WHOOSHING.]
All right, that's it.
I want a new doctor.
- Any new doctor.
- I know it's crazy, but it's the only solution I can think of.
It's just basic transfusion.
It won't cleanse you, but if I can weaken your Hullen response, I think we have a shot at successful surgery.
You have that magic pony repulsion skill with plasma.
I've been reading John's files on Sabine.
- Wait, who? - Hullen sleeper agent.
I weakened her Hullen side.
Did you literally bore her into wishing - she could die? - Actually, he banged the green out of her.
- Hmph.
- [SCOFFS DISGUSTEDLY.]
Sex does sometimes help with labor.
Oh, co okay.
No.
I will take the transfusion instead.
- Suit yourself.
- You know what? Maybe I'm not even interested.
Stop.
You're embarrassing yourself.
How will I know if it's working? I'm not feeling ah! Whoa.
What the hells is that? I think it's called childbirth.
[GROANS.]
Well, knock it off.
- What are we, monkeys? - This is good.
If you're feeling pain, it means it's working.
Delle Seyah, look at me.
Pain is just a state of mind.
- [GROWLS.]
- [HOLLERS.]
State of mind [GASPS.]
- Ow! - [PANTING.]
I feel cold.
- Why is it so cold? - That's normal.
When labor hits the transitional stage, you - [MONITOR BEEPING RAPIDLY.]
- [ALARMS BEEPING.]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
- Is that normal? - Shit.
Blood pressure's dropping.
Both heart rates are crashing.
Whatever your magic pony powers are, they're not just affecting Delle Seyah.
They're affecting the baby.
- [RETCHES.]
- Whoa.
Okay, you need to stop this.
If we stop now, we may never get it out.
[SIGHS.]
[SHUDDERING.]
It's not our call to make, and she's not able to make it.

You think a new face would work any better? Let's find out.
This one seems special to you, as does this place.
The harem where I grew up.
How do you know about it? You.
You gave me all your memories when you forced Aneela's hand into the green.
Thank you for that, by the way.
Filled in a lot of missing pieces.
But not all of it.
There are things that you don't know, - like how to get out of here.
- True.
But then again, Little Bird, neither do you.
[GRUNTS.]
[TENSE MUSIC.]
Ah! [GRUNTS.]
Well done, you.
It's been such a long time since I was surprised.
I admit, you surprised me.
Compliment not accepted, you creepy stalker.
I appreciate your pluck.
I really do.
It's one of the few things I admire about humans.
And I admire the Hullens' ability to be the biggest gaping assholes in the room.
Hullen? Oh, child.
I am much, much older than that.
- What are you? - Patient.
Hullen are my tools.
So is Khlyen and Aneela.
- Soon it will be you.
- I wouldn't count on it.
- I don't play well with others.
- Yes, I can see that.
I can see most things in here.
The green is a memory pool.
But then I noticed certain memories were missing, edited out.
A moment here, a face there.
Snip, snip, snip.
Until there was a void.
- [GRUNTS.]
- You are the void.
Khlyen hid you from me.
I need to know why.
You're not as smart as you think you are.
And you are not as strong as they need you to be.
[YELPS.]
[PANTING.]
Ah! [GRUNTS.]
[MONITOR BEEPING.]
How's she doing? Stable, but it won't stay that way.
This is a Band-Aid, not a solution.
Lucy, what's our ETA on the Quad? We're no longer heading for the Quad.
Dutch has changed course.
[FOREBODING MUSIC.]
[ENGINES ROARING.]
What are you doing? - Saving John.
- So are we, which is why we're headed for the Armada.
The Armada's too far.
John's map says that there's a moon with a green pool within minutes from here.
What good is some random pool to Johnny? Dutch, what is going on with you? We've arrived at the coordinates, but there appears to be an anomaly.
- What anomaly? - Initial scans indicate no presence of the Hullen parasite.
The pool is inactive.
But it's on John's plasma maps.
Is it frozen, like the pool I came out of? Visual indicators are positive for crystallization.
Lucy, show me John's map of all the plasma pools - in the J.
- [DISPLAY CHIRPS.]
Which ones still have active plasma? [DISPLAY CHIRPS.]
It's frozen.
All of it.
Everywhere.
If there's no more plasma, how the hells are we gonna cleanse John? [FOREBODING MUSIC.]
Uh-oh.
Mommy and Daddy.
This isn't good.
If you're not gonna take 'em off, can you at least loosen them up? They're rubbing me raw.
I think I'll stay here for now.
You don't trust me? That's fair.
- You do realize that I - We can't fix you, Johnny.
- Is this a test? - No.
'Cause if this is a test, I think I'm done being your guinea pig.
Finish what you started.
- We can't.
- Bullshit! Prego said that she could.
That there's plasma on the Armada - that could fix me.
- It's gone.
All the green pools, all the plasma, it's solidified.
This is your fault.
Isn't it? You know what it's like to be caught in between.
Well, I can't stand looking at your beautiful damn face anymore.
[HUFFS.]
Because it hurts.
My heart, it keeps switching from Hullen to human.
And I keep losing you both of you over and over again.
[LAUGHS.]
And I don't even care which one I am anymore, but I cannot live in between.
[SIGHS.]
I'm so sorry.
Are you sad? Is that hard to hear? [SINISTER MUSIC.]

You coward.
I am not giving up hope.

- [GRUNTS, GASPS.]
You're wasting my time.
This is just bits of old memories.
None of it's real.
None of it matters! That's the beautiful thing about human minds.
You don't just remember faces, places.
You remember how you felt.
- You remember pain.

Agony.

Shame.
Oh.

- [GASPS.]
- And I can trap you in your worst memories forever.
Would you like that? [PANTING.]
- No.
- No, what? No, thank you.
See? Memories aren't just where you've been.
They're who you are.
And if I own that, I own you.
And when I get out of here, Little Flea, I will own everyone.
[MONITOR BEEPING.]
Is it broken? - What happened? - He ran at Dutch.
He wouldn't stop.
[COMPUTER HUMMING, BEEPING.]
[FOREBODING MUSIC.]
- Why are you stopping? - You see that? Knife.
I need a knife.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
- [GRUNTS.]
- What are you doing? Trying to stop the break from healing.
What the hells for, you moron? Look.
The parasite in the brain, it's dying.
When Johnny snapped his spinal column, it must have triggered something.
If I can hold the knife in long enough and the parasite dies completely, - he'll be cleansed.
- And dead.
Not if I can work fast enough.
We're not risking Johnny's life on an "if.
" It's your call.
At least we'll know we tried everything we could.

[GROANS.]
I don't even want to think of all the things I have to apologize for.
Pretty sure I shot D'Av a bunch.
Yeah, but that's like a hug in our family by now, so Hey, no one's gonna blame you for whatever you did while Hullen.
You had no choice.
I gotta admit there were a few enjoyable moments.
Yeah, not so much the neck breaking.
- And don't ever do that again.
- I'm giving it up.
New Year's resolution.
Johnny, I need your help.
Something happened to me in the green.
Something about you.
[DRAMATIC MUSICAL STING.]
Where are my manners? You must be parched.
Please.

My friend's getting into a fight.
100 joy says he wins.
Blue eyes? Hey! Give me my wallet! [SWEEPING SINISTER MUSIC.]
Why did Khlyen tell you this story? [ECHOING.]
Why John Jaqobis? And she went back to that story over and over.
I broke, Johnny.
She was inside me.
She knows everything except why Khlyen told me that story, why he said to find you.
What does that mean? [LAUGHS UNEASILY.]
Dutch, I don't know.
Where is Dutch? This is ridiculous.
She can't hide from me forever.
My baby's trying to split me in half, and you're offering me ice chips? Sweetheart you stabbed one of my dearest friends in my bar.
And as soon as that baby's out of your entitled belly, I'll be happy to return the favor.
Until then ice chip? [DOOR HISSES.]
Okay.
Who's ready to have this fat-ass baby? Because I am 92% sure I can replicate what happened to John and make it happen here.
If you say enema, I will kill you.
Right.
Forgot you weren't there.
So basically, I severed John's spinal cord to cleanse him without killing him.
- Sorry, what? - The Hullen parasite lives in the brain.
It must need to be in constant contact with the host's body in some kind of bio-feedback loop.
That's why the dreadnaught works.
It severs the connection.
You're saying I won't be Hullen anymore.
Yeah.
I'm also saying you'll still be alive, and so will the baby.
Well, half a win is better than nothing.
- Do you have any questions? - Yes.
Where is Dutch? Dutch isn't gonna help you get this baby out.
I am.
Understand? - [SIGHS.]
- I'm gonna scrub up.
This can't be happening.
Not like this.
[DOOR HISSES.]
[BODY THUDS.]
Ice chip that, you arrogant waiter.
[FOREBODING MUSIC.]
What does it mean? - [YELPS.]
- How does that story help me? - Help you what? - Get out! If I knew that, I wouldn't be here, you shitty bitch! [LAUGHS.]
What? I almost hope that you do make it out into my world, 'cause whatever you are, I'm going to enjoy making you bleed there.
Or maybe I've planned a human welcome party.
Hmm? Maybe I have something special waiting for me outside.
- Hmm? - [PANTING.]
- What's waiting for you? - Hmm.
Better question.
Would you like to see what's waiting for you? [GASPS.]
- [GRUNTS.]
- [YELPS.]
[GASPS.]
[GASPS, YELLS.]
Oh.
Do you not like what you see? [PANTING HYSTERICALLY.]
Oh, you can run, Little Flea.
But you'll always end up right back here.
[SINISTER MUSIC.]
[EXHALES DEEPLY.]
I think it's time we had a talk, just us girls.
Where is Aneela? [DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
What do you want, Delle Seyah? Out.
I want out of this ship.
I want this baby out of my belly.
And I want to know what you did to Aneela.
Okay.
Number one, we're in the middle of space.
I'm very aware of where we are.
And number two, Zeph is trying - to get that baby out.
- Have you heard how? - [GUN COCKING.]
- And three, let her go.
You're really gonna risk your child over Dutch? You really gonna risk finding out? - [BREATHING HEAVILY.]
- [BREATHING HOARSELY.]
Kill me here, or kill me in there.
- Isn't much of a choice.
- We're trying to help.
I don't want your help.
I want - I need to see Aneela.
- Sorry, you can't.
Why not? What did you do to her? Where is she? She's trapped in the green because I left her there.
- You what? - Maybe not the best way to de-escalate a situation, Dutch.
- But I'm gonna go back.
- What have you done? - She needs to be here now.
- Look, - I know how alone you feel - Do I need to crash the ship just to make you shut up? This child isn't just part of me or him.
It's part of Aneela.
Do you understand what that means? It's unique.
How are you or any of us going to protect it without her? - Protect it from who? - The Lady.
That's what she was talking about when she said something was waiting for her.
Aneela thought her experiments were for her father.
When she realized who they were really for, she knew enough to be afraid.
- Do you? - Listen, Delle Seyah.
I will find my way back to Aneela, and I will save her.
I swear.
And why would you do that for her? Because she saved me.
[EERIE MUSIC.]
- [PANTING.]
- [THUNDER BOOMING.]
[EERIE WHISTLING.]
You shouldn't be doing this on your own, Yale.
I didn't give you life just so you can throw it away.
It's you.
It's really you.
I tried to stop her.
She's too strong.
She's - she's everywhere.
- I know.
That's why you have to go.
But you can't fight her alone.
Maybe not.
But I can keep her in here so you can stop her out there.
[SOLEMN MUSIC.]
[MONITOR BEEPING SLOWLY.]
Are you ready? So much like her.
All right.
Don't you all fight over who gets to kill me.
Ready to sever the spinal cord.
If it works, you won't even know it happened I hope.
[INHALES SHARPLY.]
[TENSE MUSIC.]
- Be careful.
- Be brutal.
Go.
Did it did it work? - [BABY COOING.]
- You tell us.
[BABY FUSSES.]
[TENDER MUSIC.]
What do you feel? - [BABY COOS.]
- Everything.
And I hate every single minute of it.
I just want to run some tests Get your hands off of me, you dirty veterinarian.
[BABY COOS.]
- Oh - Look at that.
- You did it.
- He did nothing.
[BABY CRYING.]
[INHALES SHAKILY.]
Okay, you can take him now.
[CRYING CONTINUES.]
[BABY BABBLES.]
Hi.
Have you thought about names yet? Why don't you just make me a drink? For your head.
Doctor's orders.
So now that Delle Seyah's a human, you're not gonna, you know, try and kill her, are you? [SIGHS.]
- She had a rough day.
- Mm.
She gets one free shot.
One.
Dutch? Listen, I owe all of you a story about where I've been.
At first, it was just me and Aneela [SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
And Khlyen in the green.
And then the Lady came.
She's the real enemy here.
So do you know how to beat her? No.
But I know how it ends.
Would you like to see what's waiting for you? [GASPS.]
- [GRUNTS.]
- [YELPS.]
Please.
Please, Johnny! It's me! Dutch! Who the hells is Johnny? No.
We lose.
Is this supposed to be a pep talk? Dutch, whatever some Hullen bitch told you She's not Hullen.
I don't know what she is or how to stop her yet.
But I know she'll make her move now that I'm out.
- - [DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
[DRAMATIC MUSICAL STING.]
Khlyen gave us what we need to fight her.
Yeah, we just need to figure out - what the hells that is.
- We will.
If you're with me.
The Ferren have a saying: when you choose your family, you choose your fight.
[MOTIVATIONAL MUSIC.]
So we fight.
Uh, one question: if this Lady's in the green and all the green is frozen, why not just let them stay that way, - keep her in? - Because Aneela's strong.
But she will break.
[EERIE MUSIC.]
No one's coming to save you.
If you don't give me a way out, you're locked in here with me.
You're also locked in here with me.
And who's going to save you? And if the Lady gets past Aneela Let's begin.
[EERIE WHISPERING.]
She's coming for all of us.
[BREATHING HEAVILY.]
