Andromeda s05e18 Episode Script

Okay.
Let's keep this orderly.
Room is limited, But we'll transport everyone Until all are safe on seefra-1.
Plenty of time if we stay organized.
And if dylan ever shows up With theandromeda.
Don't hold your breath.
Rhade, you're doing that glass-Half-Empty thing again.
What i want to know is, Even if we get all these folks Loaded up on theandromeda, We get to slipstream, When do we get out? Where do we drop these people off? Picture nine planets' populations On seefra-1- Redefines the idea of elbow room.
Hey no cutting.
I didn't cut.
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.
You cut.
I saw.
Look, if we don't do this ordered and fair, We're going to have chaos on top of the panic.
There you go.
Me first.
Hey, buddy, This planet's soon to be a crouton.
I really don't have time to discuss it.
No cutties, hmm? Hey, thanks.
What were you waiting for? An invitation? Nah anyone else want to cut in? Me! Me! Me! Me! Oh.
Well, you can talk to my little friend here.
Come on.
Uh, dylan, we're waiting, And the natives are getting restless.
We've got the gfg online.
We are slipstream ready and able.
One test run and then we'll come get you.
Soon? Soon.
Hunt out.
I hate it when he does that.
Andromeda, status.
Newly assembled gfg registers Online and ready.
Slipstream reducing the ship's mass To a fraction And accelerating.
I am go glad i can get goosebumps.
Goosebumps are good.
Let's bring it.
Initiating gfg lens.
Initiating.
You might want to hold on to something.
Gfg lens at full.
Andromeda, take us to slipstream on my mark.
Three, two, one, And mark.
Wow, i'm impressed.
This is such a smooth ride.
That's because we're not going anywhere.
Andromeda, why is it that we're not going anywhere? I am unable to enter slipstream, captain.
My programming does not allow For self-Destruction.
Because there has never been slipstream here, And i am unable to ascertain our exact location, It is impossible to safely predict Where we will exit slipstream, Therefore, inaction is the most prudent conclusion.
My ship integration confirms andromeda's logic systems Are superseding all other commands.
Andromeda.
Override on all logic circuits- Captain dylan hunt, lexic dark 52278.
And take us to slipstream, now! I cannot override.
Destruction of theandromeda Means destruction of its captain, Whom i am programmed to protect.
I must follow protocol.
Cancel slipstream event.
All dressed up and no place to go.
I don't get it.
Andromedais at full power.
No she's not.
The three entities ofandromeda must be functioning For its captain to override its logic systems.
We're still missing something? Rommie.
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.
We get rommie up and running, And we can go to slipstream.
That's what i'm hoping.
I helped harper build gogol and the other droids.
I should be able to do this.
Harper is the one who built rommie, and you.
He's the expert here.
She looks almost peaceful.
That's about the last thing she ever was.
Or is.
Be careful in there.
Tell me about it.
Hello, dylan.
Hello, rommie.
How are you? Surprised.
Surprised you would return.
I keep my promises.
Rommie, i need you now.
I'm not sure i'm ready.
Either for you orandromeda.
I am your captain.
My needs are yours.
They were.
But i feel disconnected yet eager.
That disconnection you feel is with your ship.
And with yourself.
So i should come back? Yes, you should.
That way, you will feel whole again.
Rommie, i need you to override your a.
I.
I don't know about that.
The only way to find out is by trying.
I've had a lot of time to consider what's happened.
Perhaps you're right.
Perhaps i am ready to reintegrate Into my ship self.
That's good, rommie.
Is it? Well? It's hard to know What's going on in her core processor.
The seefra-9 evacuees are nearly offloaded.
Yeah, one spoonful at a time.
We need slipstream, Otherwise there's no way We'll be able to evacuate all eight planets in time.
Find harper, and get rommie back as soon as you can.
Fixing rommie is an unpredictable risk, dylan.
No guts, no glory, doyle.
Just help harper.
I want my rommie back.
Come on.
Leave it.
Everyone's afraid Your sun will burn them to a crisp.
Meanwhile, when it rains here, It's full of acid.
How ironic.
Yes, the weather is unusual, But in reality, My sun will turn seefra-1 into a paradise.
But i understand The nietzschean need for survival.
Why you're worried.
Especially with your family.
I'm not in the mood for this today, trance.
It's odd, rhade.
Sometimes, i can see it- Your children bonding with others, Not with you.
Is that what you see, trance? Are you seeing dead people now? Move! I don't care what she said to dylan, She can't be trusted.
Remember, i'm the one Who built her in the first place, And i failed at putting her back together again- Me, mol, ego- And if me, mol, got ego all over myfaccia, Then it cannot be done.
Dylan wants you to do it now, harper.
First thing, no.
Secondly, last time was a disaster.
Not a disaster, harper.
She just wouldn't do what you wanted her to.
This time, i will help you.
You have no idea what it's like.
She wanted to kill me.
I don't ever want to see that look in her eyes again.
Not ever.
Andromedais at full power.
You have every tool and chip and program You have ever wanted For nearly four years here on seefra.
Yes.
But no.
But it's all here for you now.
We have to rebuild rommie.
For dylan, for the people of our- The people of my eight planets.
My home.
The home you gave me.
If you won't help me, I'll do it alone.
Great! Then we're agreed.
She'll kill you instead of me.
All right, fine, i'll help.
I'll tell you what, I'll get everything you need to build her a body, Which will be difficult, Considering i scrounged all nine seefras Just to get this one so perfect.
Ow! But the rest is up to you.
Hello.
Do i know you? Hello, rommie.
No, you don't.
I'm doyle.
I'm hoping we can be friends.
Friends.
Yes you know learn to trust each other, enjoy talking, sharing thoughts.
I have many thoughts.
I know.
You know.
I'd like to hear your thoughts.
First, tell me about trust.
Doesn't sound too good back there.
You know, if they hurt my ship, They won't have to wait for the sun to burn them up.
I will kill them all.
I'll talk to them.
You can try.
Main engines are engaged and we're on our way.
Attention.
The sooner you get settled, Quietly and calmly, The sooner we can get you safely to seefra-1.
Okay, that does it.
What part of "quietly and calmly" Don't they understand? Back off! And where do you think you're going? What the hell? Are you trying to make us crash? I will turn this ship around! We're trying to help you here.
So, have we finished talking to them? This is ridiculous.
Without slipstream, we can't save all of them.
Good.
Rommie's here.
Now, where's harper? Harper won't help rebuild her.
He's afraid she won't obey you.
Oh, no, no.
He's afraid that she'll come after him.
I've done calculations, Based on population, Difficulties encountered, Decreasing distance to seefra-1, And the sun slowing As it enters the braking system.
There is less than a 25% chance That we could evacuate all of seefra-9 Before it incinerates us, Unless we can go to slipstream.
Yeah, but the other problem is We don't know where slipstream will take us.
But it may be our only chance.
Now, i believe I can recover rommie all by myself.
There are some components missing, Damaged beyond recovery, But i have a plan for that.
Okay.
The job's yours.
Oh, and here's hoping that she likes you.
If doyle doesn't have better success than i did trying to rebuild rommie, Then when she's complete, Rommie's going to seek revenge and try and kill me.
So i'm working on a software patch That'll render her powerless, Just in case.
In case you're interested.
Speaking of rendering people powerless, You're really doing A great job on yourself there, rhade.
You've never had children.
A wife.
And you've never done everything in your power To lose them either.
Ah, self-Pity- The national sport of seefra.
Hey, i'm game.
Someone ought to slug you Just to knock some sense into you.
You know that? Go ahead.
Do it.
Do it.
I'd hurt my epidermal sacs.
But go ahead.
Be the thing you hate.
See if i care.
Exactly.
Here's to the thing i hate here's to me.
Making progress, i hope.
Limited technology makes it difficult, But she'll be up and about soon.
Be careful of anomalies.
I doubt she'll be rommie exactly as she was, But say hello.
Really? Rommie.
Captain.
Tell me how you feel, rommie.
Sturdy.
I understand you're already integrating with Andromeda.
Yes.
Thank you.
Doyle's the one you have to thank.
I have.
But her motivation Comes from loyalty to you, Therefore, thank you.
Yeah.
It's it'll be good to have you back.
The very air you breathe, captain.
So, what's happened to rhade? Isn't he supposed to be helping? You'd think.
We're shuttling loads and loads of refugees Back and forth like crazy.
Meanwhile, rhade turns out to be the biggest load of them all.
An intergalactic, Energy-Sucking, alcohol-Inhaling load.
And, you know, a shower wouldn't hurt either.
You feel he's your load? Don't even start with that.
Well, you could help him.
So could you.
No, i can't really.
What is that expression? "In lieu of a parachute, here's a hanky.
" Well, at least that would give him something to cry in Other than his drink.
Anyway, We've got to load more refugees back to the Andromeda.
What say we just focus on that? Where are my clothes? I'm working on it, rommie.
First your body, then your clothes.
But i think you'll like what i've made for you.
I liked what i wore before.
It wasn't available.
According to harper, There was a big hole blown through the chest.
Sorry.
The style of clothing is irrelevant.
I like clothes.
To look nice.
Yes.
I see your outfit complements your skin coloring And your eyes.
Is this trust? I guess.
I'd like to run some tests Before i initiate final autonomy.
Fine with me.
Code-Askew, sequence, engage.
Systems check- Gfg lens, slipstream capability, Pilot-Response sequence confirm.
All systems green to go, Command structures engaged, Commonwealth hierarchy acknowledged.
Influx, outflux, self-Preservation override- Check- Life-Systems-Check.
All systems onandromeda ascendant In full operation And green for avatar assimilation And command.
I want to ask you a personal question.
Remember, i'll know if you're lying.
Will you follow captain hunt in all matters? Your fidelity to captain hunt and mine are the same.
That's what i was hoping you would say.
Yes.
I thought so.
So, please, present me to my captain.
Rommie's first test is gonna have to be slipstream.
I don't like it, but that's how it's got to be.
If she can override the al's fear of flying, We're home free.
I'm sure she can do it.
See now, that's the spirit.
And spirit is what's going to pull us through, Just like it always has.
Hello, rommie.
That doesn't look good.
I am the Andromeda ascendant.
And i am come to seek my revenge! That doesn't sound good either.
Rommie, I am your captain.
Bring this ship back online.
I answer to no one, Least of all to you, dylan hunt.
There is loyalty and there is independence.
Both require neuronic reduction of mem-Trans.
Isolation is fabricated.
Do you have any idea what she just said? No.
Let us try and help you.
I amandromeda.
I am this warship.
Rommie, engage executive command sequence Alpha-Three-One-Five-Niner.
Power yourself down.
Alpha-Three-One-Five power.
Down.
Nine.
It's working.
You can't control me.
It's not working.
It's definitely not working.
You betrayed me.
You, of all i trusted.
You and that little rat, harper.
You want to hurt him, you have to hurt me first.
Fine.
I will hold you indefinitely.
I am still this ship.
Doyle, keep her there! Gravitation increased by a factor of 10.
Except for me.
You two, Wait here.
You're alive.
This gravity isn't crushing you? Heavy-Worlder.
Won't crush me but we're stuck here.
And she's out there walking my ship.
Rhade! Great.
You look fabulous, by the way, But there's a chichen over there With a wallet the size of his head.
Do you mind? Thank you.
All right.
You had to pick today to explore your dark night of your soul, huh? I have no soul.
Oh, no, you don't.
Come on.
He's cut off.
Come on, you big nietzschean lug, Pull yourself together.
Hey, beauty boy! Up and at 'em! Rhade, i need you.
We need you.
Look, we've got to get that patch into rommie.
She's taken over andromedacommand.
Dylan and doyle are trapped there, And bekka can't dock until we disable rommie, Which we can't do until i get the patch into her, So- Ooh! Oh, no, you don't.
There are better ways to wake people up, But, unfortunately, we don't have the time.
This is gonna hurt me more than it hurts you.
Who's that? Okay i must really like you.
Stay still.
I'm awake.
Good because i think i burst my epidermal sacs.
Good! I'm fine.
Let's go.
It's gonna be a long day.
I'm still in contact with the al.
Then get us out of this.
Accessing.
There's distortion, And i feel like i'm being crushed.
Who's there? Hello, old friend.
Your spectrum matches that of the approaching sun.
Naturally.
I belong in this system.
The transition is 99% complete.
Why do you call me "old friend"? I am the only one who hasn't hurt you.
That is true.
I have fond memories of you.
So hello, old friend.
Hello.
And what about you? Where do you belong? Here.
Alone.
But it's not that simple.
It never has been.
I intend to make it simple.
How? Process of elimination.
Those who betrayed me- I want revenge.
But who? How do you know who that is? I have a list.
Doyle.
I'm trying.
I'm trying fight! You can do it.
Just fight your way through the distortion.
I feel like my circuits are burning.
Find the al, doyle.
Do it.
Concentrate.
That's it.
That's it.
You can do it.
You can do it.
I'm in.
I'm in the al.
Gravity at one g.
One g.
Ouch locate rommie for me.
Deck 82, sector 721.
Okay.
Let's go make nice with her.
We're almost done, friends.
That big ball of fusion fire, otherwise known as our sun, Is just about here.
For seefra-9, it is.
If you haven't relocated yet to seefra-1, Wear sunscreen, Lots and lots of sunscreen.
Hey.
Welcome back from the dead.
Oh, it's not funny.
Is to me.
I thought you fixed that noise In the power supply.
I did.
Last week.
Must be in your head, rhadio.
Oh, i don't believe you.
So cover your ears.
Harper's working overtime on a patch for rommie.
Great.
So what do you say we get to work too? We've got to figure out a way To get next toandromeda.
Any ideas? Rommie controls the ship, Which is fully powered and fully armed.
There is no way in this world Or any other You're getting close.
So that's it? You're giving up? I don't pay you to give up, mack.
We've still got refugees to evacuate.
You don't pay me at all.
Really.
Then what are you doing here? I guess i love you.
System's offline.
How is that possible? I revoked your hall pass.
You're grounded Until you remember how things work around here.
I work things around here.
Not an acceptable answer.
It's time to call it quits, rommie.
I am theandromeda ascendant.
I am this ship.
You're more than that.
You're my friend.
What we've been through together Would fill a book.
It would fill a library.
Please, rommie, let us help you.
There's nothing wrong with me.
That's the nature of your system error.
You can't tell what's right and what's wrong.
I know what's right.
Death is right.
That's what I want, and you just made my list.
Well, did you check it twice? Because I know who's been naughty And I know who's been nice.
You are at the top of my list.
So then you're not going alphabetically? You escaped the gravity well.
Haven't you noticed The ship is not responding to you anymore? I amandromeda.
Andromedais me.
It's not that simple.
Someone else told me that.
Someone else? Rommie, you have to understand I'm not going to let you have my ship.
Your ship? I am the ship! And i am the captain of this ship, And there's a failsafe to ensure your allegiance to me.
I don't feel it.
You wouldn't.
Before you can harm me, You will self-Destruct.
I don't believe you.
We could be friends, rommie.
We have more in common than you realize.
I don't want you to self-Destruct.
I do remember you are very good at bluffing.
I, however, can tell if you're lying.
Well, then, you know this is no bluff.
True, you are calm.
But still, i call your bluff.
Rommie, you are the avatar of this ship, But no more than that.
You still must answer to dylan's command.
If that is so, if i am the avatar, as you say, Then that would make you superfluous.
Rommie, no! Now, now, my dear friends, Our sun has finished its long journey.
Is it the end of the line for us as well? Here comes the sun.
It's through.
All the way through.
And headed right for seefra-9.
If we don't get theandromeda, We're never going to finish the evacuation in time.
Looks like we're close enough.
Can you get reading on theandromeda? She's do you see that? If i flew like that, i'd lose my license.
She's targeting us! No, wait.
She's not.
Don't scare me like that.
Her systems Are alternating on and off.
Great.
Rommie's having an identity crisis With a loaded gun.
It's never easy.
Rommie, stop.
Oh they're going to need To stop making avatars so damn strong.
She's useless.
No.
Doyle has programming you need.
What programming? What you're missing to controlandromeda.
If you destroy her, you lose that forever.
Harper gave me your core memories.
Rommie, Remember who you are.
Beka, do you hear me? Loud and clear, trance.
Where are you? Command.
I'm effecting a neuro-Release That mimics rommie's electronic signature.
When did you get that? Earlier when i spoke with her.
Did she try anything? There's nothing she can do to hurt me.
I'm opening a bay, sending coordinates.
Got 'em.
We're on our way.
Trance, can you mask our approach? I wouldn't want rommie to know we're visiting.
Don't worry about rommie.
She's got her hands full.
If you want to live, You'll upload that programming to me.
I have to initiate it.
Only me.
But i don't trust you.
But you want theandromeda.
This is true.
We need to evacuate seefra-9 right now.
Let us use the ship.
Once we save those people, i'll let I'll let doyle do the upload.
Trust, rommie.
It's all we've got.
What's it going to be, rommie? We need to know right now.
I accept.
I now have full control of all systems.
Get me beka and rhade.
Dylan, we're approaching theandromeda.
Change course for seefra-9.
You're back on evacuation detail.
What about rommie? We've reached an accommodation.
It's good for the refugees, bad for me.
So revector for seefra-9.
We'll be back with the refugees.
Maruout.
Mr.
Harper, status down there? Software patch is almost done.
How's my rommie? Please give me good news.
Let's put it this way.
If you don't hear back from me, start hiding.
Great.
I'll keep a channel open.
Do that.
Hunt out.
Activate door locks.
Dylan.
When i was rebuilding rommie, I encountered a problem.
There was no way to bridge the gap Except vedran technology.
Only a small bit.
Harper had it.
I should have cleared it with you first.
I'm sorry.
So that's rommie's problem.
I was desperate to help.
I didn't think like like a machine.
We have to disable that vedran tech.
I know how.
If i upload my personal core into rommie, It will be what she's lacking.
I'm willing to take the risk.
It's the least i can do.
It was my mistake.
I don't want to gain rommie and lose you.
It's the only option.
I see you've let them use the ship.
A momentary loss of autonomy in exchange for full control.
The upload, core memory.
Precisely.
Including the deep code? What code? It slaves you to dylan, links you immutably to his will.
You will not be able to resist.
This exists? As surely as i'm trance gemini.
Dylan.
You'll get your programming.
We're not finished here.
Our agreement is null and void.
You plan to control me with that upload.
You've been talking to someone.
And you've lost my trust.
I think i'll kill you first.
Rommie, I think this is probably the worst idea you've ever had.
Your thoughts are of no concern to me.
Yes, but i am concerned about your thoughts.
Rommie, don't fight it.
I amandromeda! Rommie, stop! I am doyle.
Doyle.
Seefra-9 is gone, vaporized.
The sun's momentum has slowed by 6%.
And no one died.
The evacuation was a success.
Hey, speaking of optimism, And we were speaking of optimism, I have a surprise for everyone, Except for maybe you, Who seems to know everything i do.
When you tell me, i know.
I tell you things.
I keep you in the loop when it doesn't get me in trouble.
Uh, anyway, Allow me to present Thewunderkind of myweltumschauung, That paragon of perfection, The most scintillating sentient in seefra And actually my most greatest and brilliant triumph- Although there was the tesseract generator That didn't quite work out so well- Oh, and then there was the time- Harper.
Right.
Sorry.
Forgive me for the length of this introduction.
It would have been shorter, but i didn't have the time.
Rommie.
Rommie! Rommie that's right.
Thanks to doyle, She's all rommie from tips to toes.
Wow.
You look well, beka.
It's so good to have you back.
Trance.
Rhade, your blood alcohol level is- I know.
I know.
A lot has happened.
Welcome.
Reporting for duty, captain.
You have no idea how good it is to hear that.
Well, i may be a bit rusty, But i'm itching to polish my skills.
Then, rommie, open a slipstream portal.
Override al safety function? I think that would be a very good idea.
Wow.
That is just beautiful.
Beka, take us to slipstream.
With pleasure.
Well, i said i was out of practice.
Scrape all the paint you want.
This feels great.
Just like old times.
All systems functioning normally.
I think that's long enough for the first trip.
Let's see what we get, beka.
Exiting slipstream.
Wait a minute.
No, no, this can't be.
It's worse than i thought.
We're back in seefra.
All readings indicate We are indeed at our point of origin.
No way.
I took us through slipstream.
She's right.
We traveled slipstream For 23 seconds.
But we ended up where we started.
Maybe there's no way out.
I don't believe that.
There you go again.
We're trapped, And all you can say is we're not.
There is a way out, And i'm not going to stop looking for it.
The captain pondering his future seems like old times.
Seems like you didn't miss much.
I missed a lifetime.
Boxed up inert powerless.
Now you know how i feel.
At least we're together.
All present and accounted for.
Welcome to seefra, rommie.
Thank you.
Ice? Sure.
Ah! Ah, what the hell.
Live a little.
Thanks.
Seems like i have a lot to thank you for.
I could say the same.
I feel human.
Rommie's memories Don't haunt me anymore.
Doyle, i'm sorry i put you through that.
Withoutandromeda'shelp, I had no other way to get you functioning.
Now thatandromeda's up and running again, And you're finally 100% doyle, I realize i used you to preserve her, And you mean just as much to me as her- In some ways, even more, So i'm sorry.
I am so sorry.
I'm so sorry that i have no words for it.
That says the most, seamus.
Ah, forgiveness- The most beautiful, human thing you can do.
My first life, you gave me.
With false memories.
But still, life.
And now your second life is with us.
Yes, it is, And i'm glad i could help.
I had what rommie was missing.
You gave her back her soul, if i can call it that.
She's where she needs to be, at your side.
Still, there's no one that can take your place, doyle.
Thank you.
I am living a new life, for the first time, mine- To find my own experiences, Make memories.
I wouldn't trade that For all the stars in the universe.
That's a lot of stars.
I have a lot of life.
And friends to share it with.
To friends.
And to stars in the universe.
Drink it slow that ice is expensive.
