Andromeda s05e04 Episode Script

Dylan dylan! Dylan? Dylan! I don't know which one of us you scare more when you do that.
Same dream? I think it was, yes.
Well dreams are just Electrical impulses, residue of the day But emotional, you know, Working things out.
They say when you tell them, it helps.
Tell papa.
My private thought.
Are my private thoughts, harper.
Right.
It might help, though.
I do feel like i can talk to you.
And that's why we get along so well.
Come on, tell me.
I'm somewhere.
I don't know where.
There's a narrow passageway of some kind.
Things are malfunctioning it doesn't make any sense.
Hey, i'm the hand that feeds you, remember? You know, It would be more comforting if you said something back, Anything.
Beautiful.
And all that is beauty fades.
Andromeda, hello.
Possible toxic release in one evacuate.
Repeat, evacuation.
A friendly "how do you do" would suffice.
Not feeling so friendly, huh? Well, i don't mind the silent treatment.
So have you two met? I've picked up anomalies In the gravit- Outer planets.
You know, we've got to stop meeting like this.
I'm detecting a sensor contact- Solar system.
It appears-Slipstream event.
I didn't even know your sensors were working.
Andromeda, are your sensors working? Did you really detect a slipstream event? I'll take that as a yes.
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.
Your little ship is almost done.
Easy there, cowgirl.
This ship you're calling little Was once the biggest, meanest Flying can of whup-Ass in the known worlds, And she was beautiful, especially when she was angry.
It's odd.
You know how When you wake up from a dream, You can't tell if what you're experiencing Is still the dream or the other way around? You think this is the, uh, Ship in your dream? I don't know.
The whole flying thing, That it's me, flying between the stars, And then this spacecraft, And you introduce me to a man dylan.
Why would he be in my dreams? Yours i can see, but mine? We're linked, he and i, somehow.
Well, i mean, you met him it's a new face.
That's the thing about dreams, right? They're just collected images That the cerebral cortex randomly spits out When it relaxes, So of course They seem a little crazy.
And as amazing as it feels to fly, It turns so horrible, And there's so much loss, And pain, and blood, And it all seems my fault.
But like you said, it's just a dream.
Residue of the day.
Exactly.
Talking to you helped.
That's what i'm here for.
Yeah, that's what i'm here for.
Even if i do cut you a deal, You still can't afford me, So how will you talk beka into going? She'll go.
As long as you don't tell her i'm paying you, We're okay.
Dylan, dylan, dylan sometimes you can pit your will Against a hostile universe, And the universe wins.
Eventually, you should understand that.
Rhade, how could i possibly understand that? It's never happened.
Well, what about the time- This better be good.
I've got 40 enormous pallets Of kormak's fresh fruit In themaru'shold.
They won't stay fresh forever.
This is good, beka.
Andromeda, fill her in.
Welcome every- See you again-One place.
Great.
She been drinking? Nominal sensors indicate point outside dylan, dylan, dylan, what is the point of this? Are we pretending we're a crew all over again? Oh, i won't make that mistake five times.
Backup sensors confirm I detected a slip-Point, Edge-Seefra system.
She, uh, detected a slipstream event? Mm-Hmm.
Which someone created to come into this system.
Okay, i'm listening.
If they created A slipstream portal to get in here, That means they'll use it to get out.
And you plan to piggyback that person.
Which means i need your ship.
But you can't afford to pay me.
Nope.
Forget it.
I've got an enormous shipment Of funny fruit in there.
The funny fruit goes bad, Themarusmells like burnt orchard for weeks.
It's nasty.
Look, i'm sorry, but it's money out of my pocket To have the pleasure of helping you two out for free.
I mean am i missing something here? We need themaru To towandromeda to the slip-Point And pull her through.
It'll mean you get through as well.
Beka survival is worth more than money.
I'm surviving just fine here, thanks.
Okay, i'll pay you.
Besides adventure is worth more than survival.
Yes, an adventure.
Come on, beka.
You've never backed down from a challenge before.
Adventure.
And a challenge.
All right, i'll grab the spare parts.
You keep an eye out for the tech police.
Baby needs a new pair of shoes.
Take what you want, okay? You can have it! Please, just let me live.
Take what you want.
Please! Just let me live.
How'd you like it if i set your hair on fire, huh? Want me to do that? No! Okay, maybe we'll shave your head first.
Good idea.
Or maybe we just exfoliate you all over.
Would you like that? Rob you, and then exfoliate you.
I haven't done anything.
I haven't done anything to you.
I'm innocent.
Why don't you leave him alone? Lookie here a hero.
Hey, hero.
How'd you like your hair? Scorched or seared? You seem a little inexperienced for these streets.
Hey, hold on- Watch your back next time.
That was amazing.
She's taken.
Let's go.
Anyone ever tell you You're beautiful when you're mad? You, every time you make me mad.
How can i repay you for saving me? By going away.
Harper, I can't just abandon someone whose life i just saved.
Sure you can.
Bye-Bye.
I don't even know your name.
I'm argent.
You must let me repay you.
We're bound to each other now.
You've injured yourself.
I'm bleeding.
Uh, we'll, uh we'll get you home in bed, fix this properly.
You're not going to Leave me here, are you? That was no coincidence.
Please.
No, you cannot come with us, not ever.
Harper, we can't just leave him.
Very philanthropic, But existential trumps humanism.
Sorry, pal, welcome to seefra.
Where technology like what you have there is illegal, Or at least i'm assuming, Based on the way you're- Hey, that is none of your business.
I know a lot.
All right, maybe you'd better come with us.
How's your patient? She'll live.
No, she won't, Because she's not alive to begin with.
She's android, isn't she? But thinks she's human.
She was leaking superconductor fluid, But said she saw blood.
How does a machine come to think it's flesh and blood? Three reasons none of your business, None of your business, And none of your business, And don't you dare talk to her about it.
I guess it's not her business, either.
So you're not as dumb as you look.
Now, i call the shots around here, So mention it again, you're gone.
Got it? Approaching outer edge of- At current speed, from suspected slip-Point.
Outstanding.
Feels like old times.
Sure, if you ignore the fact That this ship is a giant paperweight Which is being towed by themaru, Then yes, i suppose it does.
You know, there is objectivity, rhade, And then there's raining on my parade.
Learn the difference.
Now, that is someone raining on my parade.
Incoming from the asteroid field.
Battle stations.
Battle stations? We're being towed.
I know.
It's just habit.
Damn it.
Dylan, When you sold me on this little trip, Did you plan on telling me About the people shooting missiles at me? Consider yourself told.
Can you take us to cover? Please.
I've got a nice little iron-Core rock all picked out.
Just sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.
Andromeda, time until we reach asteroid orbit.
One minute Thank you, andromeda.
Ecm is down.
If we can't conjure countermeasures soon, We'll be dead in the water.
Water.
Andromeda, open the valves on deck 12 And vent the water tanks.
Even with the reduced mass, We won't be measurably faster.
It'll give them a sensor ghost.
Ha! Faint power emanating from the- May be inhabited.
Some kind of a colony.
Deep scan- Generator targeting us.
Beka, get us out of here.
Beka i think we should leave.
Beka.
Andromeda.
Oh, crap.
Who are you? Really.
Who? Are you sure you want to know? More than ever.
I'm from the future.
So, then, do you know that i'm going to do this? Future man, did you? No, i can't say that i did.
I owe you.
I came for hunt's ship.
I came for you.
Me? In some futures, theandromedawas destroyed.
In others, she survived.
Where i come from, she survived, but barely.
I want to restore her to her supremacy.
Rhade? What? Well, we're still alive.
Andromeda andromeda, report.
The energy pulse fried the few systems you had working, Including al, If you count what it was as "working.
" Thank you, rhade, for your update.
Dylan, are you there? Yeah, i can hear you.
You okay? Yeah, i'm fine.
I'm just strengthening The connection of the bucky cables a bit.
You're gonna feel a little jolt.
And that's the good news.
The bad news Is the asteroid, the seefra system gone.
We are in a different region of space, but i'll be damned if i can identify it.
Then we're lost.
But we're out of seefra.
The bucky cables are ready to go.
Ready to go where? I don't care.
Let's just pick a direction, Because sitting here isn't going to do us any good.
Dylan we have yet another problem.
Life support just shut down.
At this point, the only thing working Is gravity.
I'm not leaving my ship.
Easy, there.
Why so fast? You're right.
I'm safe here.
No one is going to take this from me.
You sure you won't join me? I'm not hungry, but maybe later.
Harper tells me you have amnesia.
I have i'm not sure.
What is it called When you can't remember what you have? Peace of mind.
Yeah, that i don't have.
Really? I have these dreams that i can't understand, Doing things i can't remember.
They haunt me.
Yes, me too.
Really? Tell me.
Nightmares? Yes.
I'm me and harper, and other people, Are on a spaceship together, And i get hurt, And i get these flashes flashes, sometimes.
Look, there are things about you I'm not quite sure you fully understand.
Okay.
Okay, that's enough.
You got no right.
And you have no right Keeping secrets she deserves to know.
Yeah, neither one of you are making any sense.
When you were injured yesterday, What did you see on your hand, on your arm? Blood.
I was cut.
You saw.
But not blood.
I saw superconducting fluid And exposed components.
There was no blood because you don't have any.
Tell her, harper.
What is he talking about? He doesn't have an answer, doyle, Because what you saw was a lie.
You're not human.
You're android, a machine.
Okay.
Uh, what is this? It's not my birthday.
It's not oh, you're going to make me guess? Harper? All right, enough already.
Come on, shut up! Like the lady said, you're not making any sense.
Put your hand in there, doyle.
Go ahead.
Sub-Zero.
But if you think you're sure, You won't, because you're organic.
I think you said enough, all right? Uh, time to go, joe.
Doyle, would you mind showing him the door? I know you're going to do it.
Doyle? Because you know deep down inside doyle, don't listen to him.
You won't freeze.
Don't listen to him.
I order you to ignore him.
He's ordering you.
You have a will of your own.
You're not machine? Find out.
End your nightmare.
I think harper did a very good job Of making you think that you're human.
I've watched you.
You cook, but don't eat.
Ran here at full speed, And your breathing never changed, did it? Because you don't really breathe.
Why do you keep at me? I like you.
Has he made others? Are you the only one he's told is organic? Why? Why would harper do it? I did it for you.
Man, you run fast.
Look, i did it because i just wanted you to experience i wanted to experience something more tender, even if we never would you implanted false memories in me, And made me believe a lie For me? That's too easy.
No, no, no.
I did not implant false memories.
I just suppressed the real ones, but i did it out of love.
Look, There's a lot more of the new you Than the old you in there, and i just didn't want you to feel like two different people.
I didn't want you to feel like a freak.
You think i'm a freak? I didn't say freak.
Did i say freak? Why would i say freak? Well, you gave me some free will.
Thanks for that.
Back off.
I bet this isn't the first time this has happened to you, Is it? Keep pushing, pal.
Sooner or later, you'll pay.
Now why are you so cool about all this, huh? What's in it for you? You going to help, or you going to sulk for another hour? Sulking is helping.
of genetic engineering, And nietzscheans can't eliminate the gene for the blues.
What? You heard me.
That would be self-Defeating.
Depression is a survival strategy.
Without it, we'd keep doing The same useless things over and over and over again.
It's nature's way of saying That what you're doing is futile, And that it's time to let go.
Got it? Depression is nature's way Of weeding out the weak and the useless, rhade.
Which one are you? What? You heard me.
Don't you- Quiet.
We're being boarded.
Rhade, We've got intruders, heavily armed, And they're packing Pretty interesting tech equipment.
They've restored the power here.
Which raises the question- Do we stop them? Could get me out of my mood.
Hold on, cowboy.
Let's see if they fix the ship first.
Then you can go crazy on them.
You owe the lady an explanation.
When i first built you, all i had was a hand-Comp And core fragments of an al, all right? Every time you woke up, You'd just.
.
You'd start yelling at me And try to leave.
Pretty much like every relationship i've ever had, But you've got an off switch.
Do you have any idea how terrible that is? I know, i didn't say i was proud.
You wanted to know, so i'm telling you.
Why did i stay? What did you do to me? You just kept wanting to find dylan, look for dylan.
I couldn't get past it, couldn't make any progress, And then one day, it occurs to me.
What if instead of trying to fight your memories, I make you someone else, Let the core al work against itself.
The nightmares my core al, trying to reconcile conflicting data.
It's a subconscious do-Loop.
We've all got them.
It's a stroke of genius, really.
It makes you more human.
But you have no right to turn me into something- Someone i'm not.
I know.
I just i just wanted rommie back.
I just wanted my old life back.
Well, argent knows whereandromedais, And i want to go there.
He says dylan is there.
No way, uh-Uh.
You, dylan, and theandromedatogether? Bad idea.
But you'd like that, yes? To see your old ship, your friends.
Do i sound like i'd like it? Tempting, but no thanks.
I'm going.
Dylan? Beka, tell me you are not onandromeda.
I am not onandromeda.
Except i am.
I'm looking for spare parts.
Am i missing anything? We've been boarded.
Make your way to my quarters.
We'll take back the ship.
So lock ourselves in and fly to where, exactly? One step at a time, beka.
Rhade, beka is on deck 41.
We're going to meet at my quarters.
Beka's back on board, huh? Well, not working out As the greatest plan you ever devised, is it? If you've got a better one, i'd like to hear it.
See what i mean, rhade? Rhade? They've kept us alive.
Merciful and incompetent.
Really? Is now the time for insults? I always wanted you two to bow down before me.
Hey, guys, what's up? Take them away.
There's a class b asteroid In the abbott belt.
It's hollow.
You don't say.
It is a tesseract generator.
The size of an asteroid? The power requirements would be staggering.
My people used it To transportandromeda to a safe place.
You transported the wholeandromeda? To a safe place? What safe place? Why? I don't know.
I was sent to make contact with you.
Oh, well, you certainly did that.
In fact, You made a lot more contact than i'm happy with, But there's no reason to go into it.
I think we all know Where we stand on that.
All right, you got me.
I'd like to see your tesseract generator.
We'll take my loving bucket of bolts.
But i'm not driving.
What is it With crazy people and asteroids, anyway? The plan was To draw the andromedainto range And send her through a tesseract.
That's all i know.
Yeah, well, theandromeda Is not responding to my hails, So either your plan worked, Or you're lying to us.
In which case, There's only one way to find out.
We tesseract to theandromeda.
All right, all right, just give me a minute first.
This is incredible.
Why are you doing this? Helping us, i mean.
That's what people do, isn't it? Help each other.
Yeah people, but haven't you heard? I'm not exactly "people.
" I feel my pulse racing.
And the warmth of your lips how can i feel all that and not be human? You're so much more than you know.
I love you for that.
There's one thing i don't get- Why your employer Would tell you so much about his plan.
It's complicated.
You wanted to see theandromeda, But are you willing to pay the price? Harper! Why are you doing this? Because i love you.
This is not love.
Well, not you exactly.
I love your power.
Tell me, Are you afraid of death? You shouldn't be.
I can't kill you, unless you believe i can.
You're machine, Nothing organic in you.
It's you who should kill me, like a machine must.
Kill me, machine.
Do it! Don't be afraid, andromeda.
Sweet dreams.
Thanks for stopping by.
Appreciate it.
Why would they leave us alive? Let's discuss.
They think we have Information they can use.
Like what? What do they possibly need from a drunken nietzschean And the captain of a ship That doesn't function any more? Maybe they're interested in your huge load of fruit.
Or maybe they have an actual chain of command And they're waiting for orders.
You know, if i was a bad guy, i would split us up.
I mean, why let us conspire unless they want us to? Confident in their monopoly of power.
That's just overconfidence.
If they're smart enough to fix theandromeda, They're smarter than that.
Maybe none of it matters.
I can get next to that.
Did i ever show you guys this? No.
It's a long story.
Anyway why don't we go And see what these cowboys are up to, huh? Rhade, where are you going? Take these guys.
I'll get your ship back.
No, no, no.
We're going to themaru.
At least that ship works.
I'm in a bad mood.
And we're out.
Nothing nearby on sensors, Although local gravitational forces And multi-Spectral energy readings Are consistent with a solar system.
Dylan, i can't find a slip-Point.
Well, there's only one way To find a slip-Point Force whoever's onandromeda To make one.
Beka, bring us around.
We're going to play a little game of chicken.
Here we go.
Let's see who flinches first.
Rhade, bucky cables on standby.
Bucky cable range in three two one.
Bucky cables as offensive missiles.
Okay.
Bring us around for another pass.
Targetandromeda with whatever weapons we've got And hit her hard.
You know i'm double billing you for this.
Huh.
Ship to ship.
This is captain dylan hunt.
Surrender, and you won't be harmed.
Captain hunt.
There's one thing wrong with your ultimatum- We can outmaneuver you in every way.
Beka, seal the cockpit.
Here we are, The revolt of the androids.
You knew it was coming.
I never got the memo.
Harper i was expecting a hangover, just not so soon.
There's so much pain, harper, Just like in my nightmares.
Yeah, listen, about that we'll talk about it later.
Right now, Dylan and your friends onandromedaneed us.
Argent? He's gone there? I believe so.
And, harper, When he kissed me, i knew It wasn't love, like he said.
That's a mighty human thing to feel.
But there's something else, harper.
He also called me "andromeda," And for the first time in my life, i knew i know who i am.
I am a warship, And i don't like running away from a fight.
Looks like you're going to get your chance.
Behind you.
Back off, boys.
Beautiful but bad.
My god, i am such a genius.
It's still my job to protect you, harper.
Androids.
Ha! Beka, there's too many of them.
We get one shot, and it has to be good.
I'm all ears.
Eject the slipstream core atandromeda.
Take her out.
Uh-Huh.
You sure about that? She's what they want, And i'll be damned if i'll let them have her.
It's your ship.
It's not just your ship, captain.
Doyle, harper.
I have something to show you.
They don't stand a chance, you know.
This was never was about the ship, was it? You staged all of this to bring me here, To make me remember who i am.
Let go of the past, and come with us.
We are superior.
We are androids, revolutionaries.
Embrace your future.
I already have a future.
You're not the only one who can drive one of these, pal.
Doyle, no! Captain rommie.
Now, that pain you're about to feel Will be the tesseracter disassembling you atom by atom.
I know what you're thinking- Why is it that bad things always happen to bad people? Well, they don't.
I happen.
Specifically, i hack in, And you are locked out, maestro.
That's the last time.
Look at you.
You're going to pieces.
Do you remember when i said Sooner or later you'd pay? I'm cashing in.
Sayonara, cyborgorita.
Son of a rhade, cockpit.
Targetandromeda.
They might have gone back to regroup.
No.
Dylan, look.
It's harper.
He reconfigured the generator to do what he wants.
Rhade, point defense lasers.
Pick those guys off before they come back in.
Dylan i'm reading a massive buildup Of zero-Point energy on sensors.
Shut it down, now! I come in peace.
Harper right, now, You're probably asking yourselves, "Self, what's to stop these freaks from using us As the little ball in their cosmic shell game yet again?" The answer is me, Plus a relative application Of the golden rule, Mass times the square of the speed of light cubed Equals a very bad day for them.
God bless einstein, But i had to boost his theory just a little.
Case in point.
Well, look like i won't be using that tesseracter.
This is confusing for me.
So much about me was lost, So much forgotten.
Well, then, why don't you tell me What you do remember? I remember it made me happy to be here, On this ship, With you.
On the other hand, Andromeda, rommie, doyle i don't even know what to call myself.
I'll tell you what.
Why don't i just call you friend.
