Farscape s04e18 Episode Script

previously on Farscape Every wormhole system has millions of exits each to a distinct time and place.
Einstein, what the hell is goin on here? Zhaan and Aeryn are out there under a flag of truce.
Katratzi You will never get the wormhole tech from me.
Scorpius is here looking for the key to what is inside my head.
He will use you, and the baby We need a sensordistorter for our ship to fool long range scans.
Gezzah! A Scarran.
If I'm not back at the pod in half and arn, you go without me.
- What? Go.
The Scarran warship is still in pursuit.
What about the Baby? What about the baby? What? Where's Aeryn? A bioloid.
I don't care about the things you care about.
Peacekeepers rule the Scarrans.
The Scarrans rule the Peacekeepers.
I care about one thing.
Help me get her, and I will give you wormholes.
There was one guard.
I don'tremember her face.
She never told me her name.
She told me a legend about how Sebaceans once had a god called Djancaz-bru.
Six worlds prayed to her.
They built her temples, conquered planets and yet, one day she still rose up and destroyed all six worlds.
And when the last warrior was dying, he We gave you everything.
Why did you destroy us? And, she looked down upon him, and she whispered Because I can.
- Aeryn could be dead.
- The Scarrans will not kill her.
They want to use her to find me.
The Scarrans will mind-rape her until she has no allegiance to you.
I'll find her before then.
She will not be able to resist for long.
I know this Stop.
I'll find her.
I just want to make you aware of the improbability of what you propose.
You have a plan? Yes, and don't interrupt before I finish, no matter how stupid it sounds.
John I said, do not interrupt.
When I met Einstein, I blipped to bizarro Moya.
Same Leviathan, but different.
The Stark there uttered 'Katratzi'.
I thought it was gobbledy-gook.
But then, Sikozu heard the same word when Aeryn was being kidnapped.
I know that too.
You think this 'Katratzi' is the Scarran base they'll be taking her.
Right.
But, you do not know where it is, do you? No.
You know that.
Right again.
So, I figure, if bizarro Stark knows the name of the base, he might know its location.
That's it.
Best I got.
You got any better ideas? I listen.
If I help with this insanity and we do get Aeryn back you will tell me all you know about wormholes? Every equation.
Every formula.
Everything.
What, are we in the mob? Nosferontu.
First instinct is always right.
Scarran blood vow.
You hate everything Scarran.
Look, Djancaz-bru.
I know I'm not the sort of person who usually does this sort of thing, so I'm not quite sure what I'm supposed to be saying except that I really need your help.
I need you to send me some sort of sign that he's coming for me.
Can you do that? I've given you time to consider.
Are you ready to answer? Yes.
Stiinga-tuk.
Wait, did I pronounce that correctly? Let me try that again.
Stiinga-took.
That's better.
I gave you a chance! Where is Crichton? I don't know! I Stop resisting.
Where is he? He he's on Moya.
Six hundred telliks and rising.
If you don't stop, you'll kill her.
I'm using no more force than usual.
This won't harm her.
What do you know about Crichton's wormhole research? Six hundred and twenty.
I don't know anything.
He didn't tell me anything.
Stop! What's the matter with this one? Is she weak, or is she faking? She's not faking.
Well, when she wakes, convince her to tell me all that she knows if she wants to live, or I will start again.
You're going to go to the variant Moya? Yep.
But you could end up on Earth again mess up everything.
I got this hum in my head like a whale.
A whale? Whattza whale? You know what a fish is? Think big fish with sonar.
John, I think you should have a rest first.
D, I got a hum in my head.
I'm gonna follow it.
Oh, you got somethin in there but it's not a brain.
Einstein said I can get back to the places I've been to before.
It's like a homing beacon.
I can make it.
You can't go with fek-face.
He'll screw you, then he'll betray you.
So little trust, Nebari.
What's going on? Why're you going with him? John and I have an agreement.
What agreement? The details are confidential.
John don't.
Guys, I know what I'm doing is stupid, but it's out of my hands.
I got to save Aeryn Just get us close to the wormhole.
If we don't come back Right.
Feeling better? Critical heat delirium.
I almost couldn't get your temperature down in time.
I thought Peacekeepers were supposed to be battle strengthened.
Why did his heat probe almost kill you? I I'm tired.
Just go away.
Wish I could.
Listen, that fenik will kill you unless you give him a reason not to.
I've seen it happen.
You'll be just another D.
I.
T All right.
Don't listen.
I'm just trying to save your life.
Are you really Sebacean? Yes.
Does it make it easier to make the others do your dirty work and you take the coward's choice? Listen.
I've heard all that dren before.
Usually from people like you chained to a cell.
Look at me I'm not.
You know why? Because I figured out a long time ago Peacekeepers, Scarrans what difference does it matter who rules? It won't be me.
All I'm going to do is survive.
I suggest you should do the same.
I'll tell Captain Jenek you're ready for another interrogation.
Pilot, thank Moya for us and stay well clear.
You guys have come far enough.
Crichton! Moya's senses indicate the wormhole is destabilizing.
Yah, it's not too good.
Grasshopper, you still up for this? I was just musing.
If you miss your intended target we could change the future.
Or the past.
Create a world devoid of Peacekeepers and Scarrans.
Would you like that, John? Clear the mechanism.
Focus.
Guys we'll see you around.
Good luck, Crichton and come back.
Left and left again.
No damn, right! - I thought you knew where you were going.
- Shut up, Grasshopper.
I'm trying to concentrate.
Left Up there.
That should be it.
And we are were Where exactly is here? The signal from her bioloid stopped before our Dreadnaught could locate their Leviathan.
How did they detect it so quickly? That is the first question I will ask the Sebacean.
Captain, there is something about her.
Her reaction to your heat probe was so severe Nurse, you seem confused.
I don't care if she dies.
Her usefully is most likely already completed.
I know but give me an arn.
I have an idea how she still might be useful to us.
One arn then she answers or dies.
Something to make you sleep.
I don't need any help.
Orders.
No, I don't want it.
Stay away from me.
Get away from me and don't touch It'll only be more painful if you fight.
Get it out of me! Wait a minute you're not giving me something.
You're taking.
What are you doing? What have you done? Some kind of crap has frozen up in the fluid drives.
We're not goin anywhere unless I can flip that switch again.
Ironic, wouldn't it be if we were to die here together? Yah, we're a regular Romeo and Juliet.
Damn this spinning makes me feel like I'm drinkin Mezcal.
You got somethin like Mezcal? Drink the drink, eat the worm? I can see you eatin a whole plateful of worms.
Maybe not.
Just for the record if you'd gotten the information and were able to control wormholes, what would you have done with it? Taken over as much of the Universe as possible found your home planet and destroyed it.
That's not funny.
No, I would use the wormholes as a deterrent against any future Scarran attack.
Alright, strap yourself in.
We could be in for a little jolt.
That stuff should be melted by now.
Oh, come on, baby.
This should work.
Left again.
Gotta go.
Is that the Moya we're looking for? Better be my head's ringing like a fire-bell.
How did you know we planned to kidnap Grayza? Again! How did you know? Accident.
Captain Jenek, stop.
The Sebacean is dissembling.
She will No! I know why she's reacting like this.
Stop! Do not interfere.
She is with child.
Scarran heat probe will kill a pregnant Sebacean.
With child? Well, she was close to Crichton, was she not? Yes.
I couldn't have stopped him.
You should have.
Aeryn is dead.
I know Scarrans.
She is dead by now.
We are not leaving.
Grayza knows the location of this wormhole.
D'Argo! She put the Skreeth on Moya when we were last here.
Please Listen to her, Captain she's right.
Grayza knows Crichton used this wormhole as a path to get back to Earth.
She knows he'll come back here.
And I thought you were finally convinced Crichton's wormholes would get you home.
We're staying another arn.
Pilot! Get Moya to do a long-point, all range scan.
I don't care if it's a gas cloud or an asteroid field, I want to know the microt she senses something.
Setting scans now.
Can you retrieve incumbent knowledge from fetal DNA? Not here, but the med labs on Katratzi might be able to.
What have you done? What did you say to him? I've saved your life.
You realize what this could mean? If this is Crichton's child, we could learn all he knows about wormholes from this fetal DNA.
Yes.
Get me out of here.
Get me the frell out! Get me out! Djancaz-bru I'm going to say this again because I don't think you heard me last time.
Just get a message to him.
Let him know where I am so he can find me.
I didn't think Peacekeepers had gods.
I thought they believed in the Warrior Code - and all that dren.
Is there a Peacekeeper here? Can she help us? She can't even help herself.
She's praying.
Whose child is it? Captain Jenek will force it from you.
He believes that if he can find the human's child, the Scarrans will reward him.
Right now, he's dreaming of palaces and virgins.
- I'm very happy for him.
- I warn you he won't kill you.
But unless you tell him what he wants, he'll make you wish you were dead.
I have dozens of embryos inside me.
I recreated with so many people.
No.
Just one.
Whose is it? No, really.
, that's what they used to call me.
Talk to the other women here.
They'll tell you.
We can keep you drugged and asleep.
Or, we can make things hard and ugly worse than you can imagine.
Every wormhole has millions of exits to different times and places which are complete and unending.
So in this reality everyone on Moya has become someone they weren't before? Like they went into a blender.
Why? With these wormholes, anything is possible.
Somewhere the Cubs are winning the World Series.
Don't ask.
Did you feel that? Better hurry.
We got an arn before Crais overruns this place and slaughters everybody.
Stark? Rygel? It's a weird Universe.
I didn't invent it.
Genetic incubation.
They find something interesting about us see if they can produce an offspring they can use.
They've bred me six times.
Three of them died before term.
Three of themI don't know where they are.
So, what's interesting about you? The organic food on my planet grows a metal skin.
I can dissolve it with saliva.
Why don't you spit on these and get us out of here? Can't do that.
Only thin metal.
Right.
Well, that's why they're breeding me.
To see if the little gnink in here can destroy weapons grade metal.
And you just happen to be awake right now to talk to me? No.
I palm the dren they give me to sleep.
I've saved up enough so I can kill myself whenever I want.
You don't believe a word I'm saying.
You think I'm working for that bitch nurse.
They don't need me to control you.
You can't beat them.
They travel us around on frelled-up freighters like this and no one ever knows exactly where we are.
No one can save us and we can't escape.
I know.
I've tried for cycles.
Then I gave up.
But I see you still think someone's coming.
You should talk to me.
In here, talk's all you've got.
I heard you say it Katratzi! I don't know, Crichton! She did! She said it! She said it when Chiana was killed.
Chiana's dead? No, no, no, no.
Chiana's not dead.
Would you like me to take over the interrogation? Stark! Does Zhaan know Shut up! I heard you say a Scarran word.
Katra Katratzi.
Katratzee.
I think it's a military base.
Do you know the location? Military base? No.
You said it when you were crossing someone over when you were in that trance state No.
I never have any recollections when I'm in the stykera state.
But how could you speak in the Scarran tongue.
Once I I must have crossed over a Scarran.
They tell me things.
And now you have no memory of it.
No.
Only when I'm in the trance does the knowledge come flooding back to me.
Where are you going? Keep him here.
I'll be right back.
It is a remarkable reproductive structure.
Watch.
The Sebacean egg is fertilized.
It splits with life.
It splits again, then stops.
How does that happen? The ovum secretes a fluid that keeps the pregnancy in stasis.
Literally freezes the explosion of life.
She can store this proto-fetus for up to seven cycles before triggering gestation.
And that won't hurt the embryo? No.
This will just pry the truth out of her.
No, don't use that.
I won't lie to you.
I'll just tell you what you want to know.
You wouldn't lie to me? Yes, of course I'd lie to you, you stupid bitch.
Aeryn whose child is inside you? Yours.
Whose child? I don't know.
Is it John Crichton's? I Is it his? I don't kn know.
I don't there was another man.
Another? Velorek.
This Velorek where is he now? He's he's dead.
How did he die? What charge? High Command executed him for treason because I betrayed him.
The man who conceived your child? I reported him.
She's lying! The serum isn't working! GIve her more.
I'm not lying.
I'm just not a very nice This Velorek.
Is he the father of your child? No.
Wake up.
Wake up! - Wake her up.
-I can't.
Not until some of the serum wears off.
Are you working for her? No.
Of course not.
Your mind seems uncompromised.
What about hers? How is her embryo coming along? I'm afraid her initial DNA scan shows no enhanced ability to the embryo.
Then I will kill it.
No.
It's too early.
No! It's too early.
Your tests can't be accurate.
They're accurate.
And I will watch it die.
No! No! It's too early! No! Unless I get answers that please me you will be next.
Let go of me! Who are you? Crichton what is happening? Dominar quiet.
Crichton, who is this tralk? Now You can channel past journeys when you cross a soul over? Yes.
What're you doing? - Now cross her over.
- You cannot just shoot people! They'll be dead in an arn.
You said so yourself.
We have no time to negotiate, nowcross herover! No! I can't! I can't! I can't! Why not?! Because I have to love the soul! I have to care about where it goes to cross it over! What do you mean, love the soul? You never had to love the soul before.
I've always had to love the soul.
Different Stark different rules.
So, what happens if you don't love the soul? You won't cross it over? No.
It's not a question of .
I can't.
When they die they they just go.
Nothing happens.
Whoops.
Are you in pain? What do you care? I'm just a Scarran spy and you're a Peacekeeper.
No, I'm not a Peacekeeper.
That's the third one they've terminated.
I saw it on the scan.
It must have been malformed or The three that survived they were beautiful.
Healthy.
And you've had six pregnancies? They'll wait awhile then they'll fertilize me again unless I've got the guts to Have you ever had a child? No.
Never? Well, soldiers seldom do, unless they're placed on a breeding roster.
In any case, it's not the same as being a mother, is it? That's why I vowed I'd never have one that way.
And now? And now, protecting this child will probably end my life.
There is another way.
To make sure they never get it.
I've hoarded enough sleep pills for the both of us.
But I've never been brave enough to end it myself.
Coward.
What's your name? Morrock.
Well Morrock, when someone comes to get me, they can save you too.
- Who does Stark love? - You cannot just shoot people! I find your priorities odd.
We are in a hurry and these deformities are preordained to die soon who does Stark love?! Just because you do not have the resolution I got more than enough resolution the last time I was here and sometimes, Scorpy I do not like the way you do things! I've been comming them every thirty microts.
Will his module even be able to make a reentry through that? I don't know.
Moya's scans indicate the wormhole's stability has decreased another twelve percent.
- D'Argo, you know what we should do.
- Stop hammering me.
Grayza is no fool.
We will die if we stay here much longer.
I'm not leaving Crichton! We're giving him another chance.
How much longer? Look, I don't know! Back off psycho No, we should vote.
We wake up Noranti and the six of us vote.
Because Crichton is safe! But we will die if Grayza finds us here! Majority rules.
Not yet it doesn't.
I'm the Captain.
I'm not willing to make that decision.
I'm afraid you might have to.
What's the matter, Pilot? Moya's long range scan has just picked up another vessel heading this way.
Is it military? I can't tell yet.
Any match on the embryo DNA? Nothing.
It's a pattern the memory banks have never catalogued so it could be half human.
We have no sample of Crichton's DNA.
If I tell you? Your pain will end.
When I was off Moya, I had another job.
Assassinations, subversion.
Whatever I was ordered to do.
There was a man named Lechna.
He was my contact found me all my assignments.
But he was also my lover and I have tried to suppress it until now to protect him but I don't want the drugs anymore.
It is most likely his conception.
This man what world is he from? He's from a place called Vendrall.
It's a small planet off most charts.
Have you heard of it? Yes.
It's in the Callus Nebula.
That's a long way from here.
Perhaps that's why the DNA isn't in our database.
I might cross-check the genetic similarities from the same Nebula.
We're gonna do this my way with Stark not yours! - You haven't got the resolution to do what's necessary.
- You can stop already with the resolution.
Crichton! What are you doing with Chiana? That is Jool.
Jool, just let us pass.
What are you doing with Pip? Shoot him! Technically, it's a she.
Shoot it! Let me handle this.
Where are you taking Chiana? Jool, let us pass.
Stay back! Shoot it! Damn it, Jool! Are you satisfied? No.
I don't like the way you do things either.
Very messy.
- No, don't! -You lied! We found record of Vendrall DNA.
Your embryo is not the product of one of Vendrall's sons.
Well, Lechna lied to me! There is no Lechna.
There is Lechna! - Leave her alone! - Give her more! I've doubled the strength.
No, please! Again! Stop it! She's telling the truth! Again! No, please don't! You'll kill the child! Is John Crichton the father of your child? I've already told you.
It's Lechna's.
Not Crichton's.
How many times do I have to tell you? I knew Lechna before I went onto Moya.
I was on Moya to watch Crichton.
And, as soon as I left, I went straight back to Lechna.
I have never ever loved John Crichton.
I've never loved him.
You lie.
Tell the truth.
When I Yes? When I left Moya terminal soldiers Lechna I forgot all about Crichton.
It was I completely forgot about Crichton.
I forgot all about him.
D'Argo.
It's a long way off, but the vessel approaching seems to be a Command Carrier.
We've done all Crichton could ask of us.
We've stayed here too long.
We must starburst now.
no.
What if what if we initiate the engine signature change that I bought off Rekka? Like we did before.
Are you fahrbot? Turn Moya into a Scarran freighter? Peacekeepers are approaching.
They'll attack anything Scarran.
We won't let them get that close.
Look, if they long-range scan us, they'll move off, because we're not Moya.
It's worth a shot.
I need a decision, Captain.
In thirty microts we'll be in scanning range of the Command Carrier.
Okay, you wanted a vote.
Do we starburst or do we initiate engine signature change? Starburst.
Starburst.
Stay.
Pilot? Moya and I say stay.
Okay, we're staying.
Inititate the signature change.
Given these differences, are you sure this will work? It's what happened before.
Pip got killed.
Stark channeled the Scarran while he was crossing her over.
You or me? I'll do it.
Hey, Crichton.
Untie me.
You know I know I always tie up people I like.
If you kill her, I I won't help you.
I won't cross her over.
Yes you will.
What is he talking about? Look I know this doesn't make any sense but you're gonna die in half an arn and there's nothing I can do to stop that.
What? What do you mean? I'm not gonna die.
Yes, you are.
Listen, Crichton.
Are you in some kind of trouble? Who is this fek? Is he making you do this? If you untie me, I can help you.
I always do.
It is not Aeryn.
Looks a lot like her.
Okay the joke's over.
Okay? I,.
.
I was stupid to take it this seriously cause it's a joke.
Right? You ha you have to stop because because you can't kill me.
You you can't.
No I can't.
I can.
Now cross her over.
Well, I don't know if it's Crichton's child.
The frell with your drugs.
They're not working.
No.
You'll kill her! Who is the father? On Vendrall I met a a man There is no Lechna I made him up.
Just Crichton Only, ever Crichton.
Just him.
Todye awkhel nervrusk.
Kine ausamagaah, ausamagaa.
Hasn't she said it yet? Be quiet.
I can't hear.
Ausimaa kilay ti partreee.
Kilay ti partree katratzee.
Katratzi.
That's it, Stark.
That's the name of the base.
Katratzi.
Where is it? Seat of Scarran power.
Small.
It's fortified.
Diguises its presence by mirroring the orbit of one of the moons of Trilask.
Trilask Trilask katratzee Yes I know that planet.
John we can go.
Peacekeeper, wake up.
How did you? I watched the sequence codes.
Are you sure? The same time, then.
Thank you.
What for? For doing this with me.
I don't want to be their test stallik.
No no.
Neither do I.
Anyway what other choice do I have? But your child.
Aren't you afraid? I'd rather be dead than let them have it.
Is it really his? The man you loved? Does this really make you tired? At first, but then You know, I had such incredible dreams for my child.
It's impossible not to.
How she was going to change the world.
How she was going to look after me when I was old.
They were foolish.
Not so foolish.
I had the same dreams.
Is it his? Is it Crichton's child? Come here.
Did you really have a child? I told you, I had six pregnancies.
Only three of them survived.
I want the truth from you.
I know that these pills won't kill me.
I know that you're their spy.
So I want to know the truth.
Have you even had one child? Have you even given birth to one child? The truth.
No.
Then I orphan no one.
We're back.
Open the hangar doors.
And we know where that Scarran base is.
No time, John.
There's a Command Carrier on the way.
We've got you in the docking web and we're about to starburst.
Got it.
Okay, we'll go as slow as we can, but you better buckle down in there.
Starting starburst countdown grid.
Why is nothing ever easy with you? I wish I knew.
Hold on, John.
Pilot.
Starburst now.
We've set a course for Katratzi.
They've been informed of your condition and there is a surgeon on hand.
Now Djancaz-bru you haven't listened and you haven't helped.
And, I'm running out of time.
So I'm gonna forget about you.
I am now willing to make a deal with anyone.
With anything to save my child.
Not because I can but because I have to.
