Andromeda s04e22 Episode Script

Talk to me.
Craft of unknown origin under heavy attack by three former Commonwealth fighters.
We're being hailed.
Louisa messereau, out of moira by jordan.
Ambassador, this is a treacherous region to be traveling without weapons.
I represent Arkology.
Our provenance is peace.
Arkology, huh? Never heard of it.
It is roughly 36 kilometers long, eight wide, with a 500,000- kilometer orbit.
Impressive.
A self-sustaining ecology.
I'm returning from a successful negotiation with the magog on that great vehicle they call "worldship.
" Somebody tell me that's not what i think it is.
The magog had Arkology targeted all along.
They've never used tactics before.
I'm marlowe.
Welcome home, Dylan.
Have you heard of the paradine? Yes, the the myth.
Never seen, always present, influencing the fate of the galaxies themselves.
You are one of the paradine.
Fact is worldship.
Fact is countless magog.
Fact is self-defense or death.
Is death a fact? Right there, a doorway to many universes, and an enTrance for evil.
This is what you listen to.
You're being manipulated into passivity.
When the dust clears, we'll see each other again.
No, we will never be together like this again.
I'm out of here.
Beka no.
I've gone four years through three galaxies risking everything, and that's fine, but i'm not going to die here defending some cockamamie notion of love and peace.
We need to teach these people how to survive.
These loving people, Trance, to save them, i have to take their innocence.
Whatever happens, Dylan, i feel it is the end of our adventures as we've known them.
They're powering up a point singularity weapon.
You are their leader.
Just because someone says i'm one of the paradine doesn't make it true.
But you know it is so.
That place was as close to perfection as possible.
Yeah, that's why the magog picked it.
It was an easy target.
The route of ages is your way out.
It's a way out for all of us.
No just for you, if there is still time.
We've got to save as many as we can.
Not this time.
Okay then i guess i'll die trying.
The universe is a dangerous place, but in our future, my crew and i fight to make it safe.
I am Dylan Hunt, captain of theAndromeda Ascendant, and these are our adventures.
Sir, we have to get as many people as we can to safety before this whole place descends into chaos.
The worldship is preparing another assault.
What about the Arkology? The Arkology's re-sealing system seems to be functioning well under the circumstances.
Well, let's just hope it holds up when it goes to slipstream.
Harper, i need an update.
Things are going from bad to worse, boss.
That's not a very good update.
I'm heading back to theAndromeda.
We're going to take out the worldship.
I love it when you think big.
Hunt out.
Captain? Hmm? Go.
Are you ready to destroy everything on the worldship? What are you saying? We know there are other living entities on the worldship, prisoners.
It won't just be magog we'll be killing.
Help Harper.
Get this thing moving.
It's never easy.
Oh, god.
Slash and burn, slash and burn.
Forget it.
Friends, gone.
Past, gone.
Future Gone.
My vast fortunes gone.
You lost something.
Trying to.
Beka, you never drink.
Oh, that's not true.
I do drink.
It just seems like never 'cause it's you know, almost never.
You know, there's only one rule in the universe oh, no, two.
And that is leave while the leaving's good.
You can keep that.
I don't want it.
What do you want? I want what no one else here seems to want to live.
We're changing that.
Not fast enough.
There are people dying on Arkology already.
Dylan, this is insane.
These people don't want saving.
Dylan, that's the problem not me.
I don't want to leave you and the crew, but i can't stay.
I can't watch.
Well, if it's any comfort, you may be the only one of us who's making the right choice.
Me, i have no choice, apparently.
You don't understand.
This is the abyss.
I was there.
I saw it.
These people, they think there's beauty.
There isn't.
It's just darkness reaching out at darkness.
It knows no weakness, Dylan.
None.
Beka, i owe you more than i can say in this short time but we will meet again in happier days.
On that, you can rest assured.
I have to go.
I'll see you.
Bon voyage.
You know, this is a challenge i would love if our necks weren't on the line.
Think outside the box, Harper.
Change your perspective.
Nothing.
Concentrate on other possibilities.
Like trying not to concentrate on the fact that we have to pull off a miracle? Wait a minute.
Harper, stay on task.
Harper! What the hell is this? Very good, Harper.
I think you just increased our chances of survival to 55%.
Localized gravity control.
Turn it off! Louisa? Louisa, where are you? Rhade.
Thank god you're safe.
You have to go.
Your place is with your crew.
Mine is here.
Come with me.
Bring your people.
They can stay on theAndromeda.
No.
Would theAndromedahave room for all the citizens of the Arkology? We've got to get to theAndromeda.
You're asking the impossible.
No, there's still time.
I mean i can't leave louisa.
Then take her along.
If you don't go now, you will die.
I have studied you, Dylan, having come to the Andromeda to learn.
More than anything, i have learned that where there is danger, there's opportunity.
Well, you can have too much of a good thing, rhade.
All the same, i have learned what i have learned and this is graduation day.
Give me the good news, Andromeda.
More magog have reached marlowe's office.
They are proceeding through Arkology from the asteroid end.
Thank you.
Congratulations.
You've just graduated.
All right, you've got and they will be everywhere.
I'll stay and fight with these people.
Good luck.
Trance captain Hunt.
Thank you.
You've got to be kidding me.
Harper, time's up.
I've got to finish what i started.
Suit yourself.
I'm not going to die here.
We need to be the last line of defense.
The magog certainly know that we're here.
They'll come for us last.
We are at the opposite end of their attack.
And we'll be ready.
Damn right.
What the hell am i doing? Harper, how goes it? I'm beginning to think you made the right choice, boss, but we're making progress.
We'll be seeing you soon.
I hope so.
The magog have launched another assault.
We can make a better fight of it away from the Arkology.
Our only chance is to outmaneuver the worldship.
Ship-wide.
This is captain Hunt.
We're beginning evasive maneuvers, but i have to be honest, folks.
We are engaging a superior enemy so i'm giving you all the opportunity to escape this fight.
Andromeda, get me rhade.
Rhade, they're headed your way.
What's your status? All present and accounted for, though i would like to say that last hit was a bit close.
Bring your people back to theAndromeda.
We're pulling out.
Open fire! They're coming from the cave mouth.
Keep shooting.
Damn it.
Get me Harper.
Things are getting pretty hairy here, boss.
Harper, get that thing moving.
Harper has an alternative plan.
I don't know about getting it moving, but i can make everything stop.
Gravity control for the whole place is right here.
If we increase Arkology's cycles, we increase its gravity.
Nobody moves, we get time to work.
The miracle of quadrupling gravity.
Here in the hub, we won't be affected.
Yeah, 'cause we're not spinning.
It's all artificial gravity here, but you, oh, great leader, you are a heavy worlder.
You should be able to move through it.
Same goes for the nietzscheans.
Time for everybody to put their money where their muscles are.
We believe it's the only way to save the inhabitants.
Just do it.
If Harper can do this no, we're leaving.
Get the magog to come after us.
Andromeda, take us out.
The magog swarm ships are mounting another attack.
Launching slipfighters.
The magog are puncturing my hull.
Seal off outer deck.
Prep escape pods.
Evacuate the crew.
Find Dylan Hunt.
Take us to Hunt.
No.
tell me the security codes.
No.
Stupid mistake.
Watch the magic.
It'll take a few minutes to kick in, but after that, Arkology will be a frozen-magog zone.
Well done.
Can you hear me, rhade? You've got to try to move through it.
Listen very carefully.
Get to marlowe's office.
The gravity's normal there, capeesh? Lookit, rhade, if you can hear me, you've got to try to move through it.
You're strong enough.
You can do this.
Use those big muscles of yours.
Get to marlowe's office, where you'll be safe.
We'll come for you there.
Somebody will come for you there i hope.
All right, let's get this puppy moving, huh? Harper! Stupid mistake.
Good work, rom-doll.
Rommie? Stay safe.
No.
Rommie the gravity has stopped the assault on Arkology.
What's the condition of my crew? I have lost communication with them.
The magog have cut them off.
Deck security has been breached.
Magog are heading for command.
Talk about being cut off.
At least we can still operate the ship from here.
The abyss knows everything about this ship.
They'll find us.
I'm sure they will.
Andromeda.
We are clear of the Arkology.
I have 58 swarm ships attempting to punch through my hull.
Keep moving out.
Slipfighters engaging swarm ships.
Too many of them.
Pull back.
Too late.
Dylan, it's time.
Not yet, Trance.
Not yet.
Come on, move.
Here we go.
Ha! I did it! Oh, crap.
Rhade, i've lost gravity control.
Arkology's returning to normal.
Normal.
Dylan, they're here.
Andromeda.
Captain, the magog have arrived outside the weapons locker.
They are preparing to blow the door.
Dylan Hunt will die on this ship.
Andromeda, arm the nova bombs.
All of them? All of them.
Done.
Fire.
Another wave of swarm ships is on approach.
The magog worldship has suffered minimal damage.
How can that be? Within seconds, the universe is going to be different.
Come on, Trance, it's "glass half-full" time.
Dylan, i've told you there is a way out, but it is only for you.
Why? Why is it only for me? I'm not going anywhere without my crew, and i won't lose you to the darkness.
It is not your choice.
Dylan, have you ever thought that perhaps you traded the better angels of your nature for the mission you felt you had to do? No, Trance, i haven't, but i'm about ready to trade my better nature for an angel who thinks "can do.
" Understood.
If it means anything, i believe you are the right man for this job.
It means a lot, Trance.
It means a lot.
Dylan? Go ahead.
I got this bucket of bolts boogeying.
We're headed for slipstream.
Good work, Harper.
We'll be right behind you.
What now? We make our stand here.
With luck which you don't believe in.
Harper will get Arkology to slipstream.
We're already moving.
Watch out! No! Go.
Stupid mistake.
No! Louisa.
I love you.
I love you.
On this soul, cast a cold eye on night and day.
All that are living pass by.
Louisa Andromeda, status on the crew.
Andromeda? What's the status of the on-board crew? All of them are dead except the two of you.
All dead now what? Now we've got nothing to lose.
The magog may be built tough, but they need air, just like the rest of us.
Andromeda, cut off all life support systems except for here.
Take the magog out.
Aye.
More will come.
Trance, your attitude is really starting to annoy me.
I'm just trying to buy us time.
For what? I wish i knew.
I think you do.
Move out! Now! Trance, this was meant for another time.
It was meant for when it was needed.
I'm thinking that's right about now.
It is another universe, a sun and its family, another place for you.
Well, i thought i was doing pretty good right here.
You're doing the best you can.
That is enough.
Enough the magog have slaughtered my crew.
It's just you and me.
Actually, it's just you but you were made for this moment.
If you stay and fight and win this battle, you will lose the war.
You cannot do that.
Trance, fighting is all i know.
This battle is beneath you.
You have to go, and i cannot go with you.
Andromeda has lost to the worldship.
The route of ages is for you but if you stay and you fight and die, what will be the point of these past four years? If i can choose to give this up, you can choose to live.
Andromeda, status on the magog.
They are all dead, captain.
Restore life support systems.
Aye, aye.
Let's go.
Yeah.
Don't forget, Dylan, to enter the route of ages, your timing must be perfect.
I need a crew to do that.
No, you've done it before.
Just follow the light.
There is no light in space.
No, your light, Dylan as it has always been, your journey, your mission.
Trance, it's our mission.
What if you really could go back? Erase the past four years, never suffer what you had suffered? Start over? It takes courage to start over.
There must be something else.
Everything you have ever done has led to this.
Perhaps you were not made for times like these.
Then again, perhaps you will go where i will be waiting.
Now, please go.
You have to do this.
Please.
Yeah.
It's been nice knowing you, Trance gemini.
Andromeda, turn us towards the worldship.
Please advise on strategy.
We're going to bring the light to the darkness.
Confirmed.
Empty all missile tubes into the worldship.
Clear my path.
Dylan, how's every little thing? Hello, Beka.
So, how much fun is this? Couldn't stay away, huh? You seem to have that effect.
I'm going to see if i can pick up Harper and rhade.
Good luck.
Valentine out.
Beka, you'll never make it.
My controls are locked.
I can't turn back to help.
You're on your own.
God speed, Beka.
Oh, crap.
Come and get me, boys.
If i die like this, i'm going to be really upset.
Harper, Harper, come in.
I'm here, boss.
Man, am i glad to see you, but keep it down, will you? Hey.
So i've been thinking you see, i'm i'm kind of trapped, as in absolutely no freaking way out.
Yeah, me too.
Hey, do you remember what you said to me before we boarded theAndromeda for the first time? Uh yeah, i thought there might be treasure.
Before that.
You said you said it was going to be fun.
Well, Seamus, it was.
Boss? Boss? All right.
Time to go.
Harper.
Hold your horses there, handsome.
Die, Harper.
All right, wait a minute.
Uh, now, hold on.
Rev bem, right? Red plague.
He was your great-great- grandfather.
Right? You remember.
It's got to be in that sub-generation brain there somewhere.
Uh he was my pal.
You bear quite a resemblance to him.
Same cute muzzle.
All right, a little progress here.
The ambassador said you were civilized gentlemen.
Uh rev and i were very, very close.
Uh that counted for something with your original.
He he was going to save me for last.
He was going to infest me with his magog eggs.
You could do that.
You could you could kill me last.
Kill you last? Yeah.
Youarethe last.
Goodbye, Andromeda.
Goodbye to your comforts, your joys, your sheltering arms.
Goodbye, maru.
Rhade Harper Beka Rommie Goodbye Dylan.
Terminating conversation.
Andromeda? Andromeda.
Have you come home from your journeys? Have you come home from your past? Dream, dear one.
Dream.
