Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,720
Democracy may be only a few steps removed from anarchy,
but at least it's not as loud.
2
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:08,000
Crowned in Starlight, Than Hegemon
[CY 9843]
3
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:20,320
I'll say this for the old Commonwealth. When it comes
to formal dinnerware, you guys rule.
4
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:22,000
I do what I can.
5
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:26,160
It's all a little bit much to me.
I mean, placecards? Come on.
6
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:29,280
Protocol is vital to the Castalians.
7
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:33,480
President Lee and his people forged a republic
from a dozen habitats and cultures:
8
00:00:33,480 --> 00:00:37,840
water-breathers, air-breathers,
beings that have lived their entire lives in space.
9
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,960
Which explains why the two fish-necks
get to hang out with the hot chick with the lungs.
10
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,000
In fact,
I think *I* will sit next to the lung lady.
11
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,320
And create a major diplomatic incident?
I don't think so.
12
00:00:49,480 --> 00:00:55,040
Your ship is a marvel, Captain Hunt.
I must say, you have exceeded our expectations.
13
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,400
Thank you, Mr. President.
That means a lot coming from you.
14
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,640
Please. If you keep that up, you'll swell my head.
15
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:07,080
And then this technological miracle won't fit anymore and
I'll be forced to spend our entire negotiation in a bathtub.
16
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:11,040
Mr. President, before we proceed,
I'd like to address some of my security concerns.
17
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:15,040
Oh, of course.
And here's the information you requested.
18
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,400
I'm very impressed. And a little intimidated.
19
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:23,800
Don't worry. We're on the same side.
Or, we will be, once the charter has been signed.
20
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:28,920
Then by all means, let's get to it.
I'd hate to stand between the colonel and her new toys.
21
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,880
Certainly.
22
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,800
Alright then, how about this one.
23
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:35,840
It's pink.
24
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,280
Beka, it's a state dinner.
That means formal. Pick something.
25
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,800
What if they start shooting?
How am I supposed to run in a dress?
26
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:48,440
Good heavens,
what kind of dinner parties have you been to?
27
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:07,640
You know? Up until now, life on the Andromeda's
been like living in a first-class hotel...
28
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,800
with thrill rides!
29
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,920
You're supposed to tie that.
30
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:19,480
I'm telling you, if Dylan really gets 50 worlds
to sign his charter, you know what it's gonna be like.
31
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,400
Goodbye room service, hello foreign service.
32
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,320
She'll have us dressing like mannequins
every other Thursday.
33
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,600
Stop fidgeting!
Let's hear the ceremonial music.
34
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:38,080
THAT'S their "Hail to the Chief"?
It's sounds more like a tuna with a toothache!
35
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,200
It works better underwater.
36
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:41,600
Protocol.
37
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,480
Remember, the Castalian dignitaries
have musical cues for everything.
38
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,880
Music for entering a room, for leaving a room,
for proposing a toast.
39
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,920
And while they're on this ship,
we have to respect their traditions.
40
00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:55,840
The Castalian Republic is progressive,
peaceful, and stable.
41
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,040
If they sign the Commonwealth Charter,
they provide us with instant credibility.
42
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,400
And we provide them with the services
of the toughest warship in the known universe.
43
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,720
Flatter me all you want.
You still have to wear the dress.
44
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:11,800
I said tell them no! Tell them no as often as it takes,
and then just tell them no again.
45
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,520
You'll have to forgive Chancellor Chandos.
46
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,280
He never bothered to study decorum
while he was a partisan.
47
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,600
I understand completely.
48
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,200
If all goes well this evening,
and the Parliament approves,
49
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:26,120
then I see no obstacle to Castalia
signing your charter.
50
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:30,680
I'll make the announcement tomorrow
in a live broadcast to the entire Republic.
51
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,840
President Lee, that's...that's wonderful news.
52
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,400
For both of us.
53
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:40,200
There's been too much darkness since the Fall...
on Castalia, and everywhere else, for that matter.
54
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,720
It's time we turned the lights back on.
55
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,320
On behalf of the Republic of Castalia,
56
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:16,720
I would like to thank the Andromeda Ascendant
for her gracious hospitality.
57
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:21,080
And may this be the start of a fruitful alliance.
58
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:22,680
Cheer! cheer!
59
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,000
I offer a toast to President Lee,
60
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,200
who united his people
by appealling to their highest ideals.
61
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:43,120
May he inspire a host of imitators.
62
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,400
Thank you, Reverend Bem.
63
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:59,880
I salute you for your wisdom, your wit,
and your excellent judge of character.
64
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,200
Oh, somebody shoot me.
65
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:04,760
You think you've got problems.
66
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,600
I'm never gonna score with
Captain Terrific moving in on my turf.
67
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:14,760
- President Lee is quite the politician.
- I'm lucky to work for him. He's a great man.
68
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,920
He didn't have to include the air-breathers
in his republic, you know.
69
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:22,920
- We're a minority, and it wasn't a popular move.
- Well, I hope I can live up to his example.
70
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:31,920
I should also like to salute President Lee.
71
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:37,200
A man possessed of determination and vision.
72
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:42,080
A vision to see that Volsung Pride
could never be a part of his republic.
73
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:51,480
And the determination to see every Nietzschean
on Castalia slaughtered: man, woman, and child.
74
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,720
The long night has come
75
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,480
The system Commonwealth,
the greatest civilisation was fall
76
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:15,480
and now one ship, one crew are
about drive back the night,
77
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,720
they'll gush up the light of civilisation
78
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,920
on the starship Andromeda hope lives again
79
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,600
.
80
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:56,960
Tyr!
81
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,720
- What the hell was that supposed to be?
- I was complimenting our guest.
82
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:04,240
- Don't insult my intelligence!
- I'm not the one playing you for a fool.
83
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,000
Sebastian Lee built his republic
on the bones of my people.
84
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,400
The Volsung were a direct offshoot
of Kodiak Pride.
85
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:18,800
Their orbital habitat was blown to pieces
during Lee's War of Unification.
86
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:24,000
- 75,000 Nietzscheans! My blood!
- Like you said, it was a war.
87
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,640
A war the Volsung had already lost.
They were attempting to surrender!
88
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:34,880
And Lee decided to solve
his Nietzschean problem once and for all.
89
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,400
So, be just a bit more careful who
you're shaking hands with, Captain Hunt.
90
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,600
Your fingers might come away bloody.
91
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,720
Captain, if you're curious,
then why not check our public records.
92
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:51,600
But to confront the President in this fashion...
well, it's insulting.
93
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:56,200
And I won't stand for it. No, it's all right.
We want Captain Hunt to be our partner.
94
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,880
He deserves an explanation if he wants one.
95
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:04,120
Captain, please understand that the Volsung
were invaders in our system.
96
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:08,520
They looted. They captured slaves.
They owned the sky.
97
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,960
We were helpless against them.
98
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:17,200
Still, my people, the water-breathers,
went relatively unscathed.
99
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:22,000
We had nothing they really wanted.
We built our strength, waiting.
100
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,880
Eventually they grew complacent.
101
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:29,880
We managed to destroy their fleet,
but before we could move on to their habitat,
102
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,680
they blew it up themselves,
103
00:08:32,680 --> 00:08:38,840
killing everyone aboard...
including 10,000 Castalian slaves.
104
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,000
They're the murderers.
Not us.
105
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:47,120
That's impossible.
Nietzscheans don't commit suicide.
106
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,520
It may not have been deliberate.
107
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,400
Their munitions may have detonated accidentally.
We'll never know for certain.
108
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,200
Then you'll make your records available
to my ship's database?
109
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:59,320
Of course, Captain.
Our database is at your disposal.
110
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,400
Those deaths were a tragedy, Captain Hunt.
111
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,840
Exactly the kind of loss
your Commonwealth hopes to prevent.
112
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,840
Please, review the material.
If it meets with your approval,...
113
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,800
...I still want to sign the Charter...
114
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,160
...live, on camera in front of my people,
just as we planned.
115
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:19,160
- If that's acceptable to you.
- Yes, that's quite acceptable, thank you.
116
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:24,960
Fine, then we can broadcast as soon as you have
checked our records and the apology is made.
117
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:26,440
Apology?
118
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:34,160
I need a formal apology from Tyr Anasazi.
Protocol, you know. So tiresome.
119
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,680
I want you to apologize to President Lee.
120
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:50,000
- The man committed genocide.
- Not according to Castalian public records,...
121
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,400
...or the official investigation into the explosion.
122
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,280
They both say the Volsung habitat
was taken out by friendly fire.
123
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,120
And you believe them?
124
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,400
Right now, you have one story,
the Castalians have another.
125
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,280
One that is perfectly plausible.
126
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,840
Think more than a few moves ahead, Tyr,
and remember the long game.
127
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:12,080
Reestablish the Commonwealth, and we reestablish
open inquiry, accountability, and justice.
128
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:16,080
- Justice. For Nietzscheans?
- For everyone.
129
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,480
Or there's no point.
130
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:30,200
And a Big Hello to all my friends
at the Calhoun's Corner Saloon,
131
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:35,000
where I can't wait to enjoy my two-for-one beers
every evening at sunset.
132
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:36,640
If I ever get off this ship.
133
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,920
Ka-Ching!
Interplanentary pitchman, Seamus Harper.
134
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:44,200
Sorry, was that Seamus,
or Shame-less, Harper?
135
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:54,560
Very well, that's a little more convincing.
Tell him...tell him maybe.
136
00:10:54,560 --> 00:11:00,800
Captain, the President's address is in ten minutes.
Are you sure your super-man is going to show up?
137
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,120
Pay up.
138
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:21,360
I'm told I owe you an apology.
139
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:26,400
Captain, could we have a moment alone, please.
140
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,520
- Andromeda, engage privacy mode.
- Yes, sir.
141
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:34,960
Mr. President, the parliament is convened,
and your speech begins in 8min. and 32sec.
142
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,760
Thank you. This won't take long.
143
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,600
I apologize for my tardiness.
I hope I'm not too late.
144
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,800
You missed Tyr's act of contrition.
145
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:01,400
Did I?
146
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,200
I know, I know. Pay up.
147
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:10,280
Strictly for charity, of course.
148
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,320
- The Presidential March
- That can't be right.
149
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,360
What are you doing?!?
150
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,880
He's been shot.
The Nietzschean has shot President Lee.
151
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,560
He's dead.
152
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,960
- I've got him. I've got the killer.
- You put that away.
153
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:36,080
Eternal life...
154
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,680
He's having convulsions.
We've gotta get Tyr to medical.
155
00:12:38,680 --> 00:12:41,960
Rommie! Get security in here, now.
156
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,920
Would you close that stupid camera!
157
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,320
I loved him, you know.
158
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,880
He was like a father to me.
159
00:13:02,560 --> 00:13:05,600
- And I failed to protect him.
- We all failed to protect him.
160
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,920
It was my job!
161
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:16,400
When my parents died,
it was Sebastian Lee who gave me a home.
162
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:22,640
It was Sebastian Lee who made me believe that
I was worth something, even though I'm a breather.
163
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:27,200
Rev Bem would say that only
the smallest part of him is gone.
164
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,400
His spirit lives.
165
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:34,200
His accomplishments survive him.
Now it's your job to carry on his work.
166
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,360
You're right.
167
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,520
Thank you.
168
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:46,000
I'll have a forensics team here by noon and
a security team to take the assassin into custody.
169
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,200
I'm afraid I can't let you do that.
This is my ship.
170
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:53,800
I have jurisdiction here, and I won't have a horde
of outsiders trampling on a crime scene.
171
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,200
So what do you propose to do?
Incarcerate the killer in your private prison?
172
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,720
When we identify the killer,
I'll turn him over to Castalia for trial.
173
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,040
When we identify the killer?
We saw it! We were there!
174
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,000
We saw the aftermath, not the crime.
175
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,440
I promise you, you'll be involved
in every step of the investigation.
176
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:13,800
But this will *be* an investigation,
not a witch hunt.
177
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,200
You should patch into our live feed on the Obs Deck.
You'll probably want to see this.
178
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,720
Reverently do I don this armor,...
179
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:27,200
...in the knowledge that it represents
my duties as Shield of the Republic.
180
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:32,880
Citizens of Castalia,
I swear by the blood of President Lee,...
181
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:36,400
...that his murderer will suffer
the ultimate justice for his crime.
182
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,520
Ultimate justice?
183
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,000
Castalia has the death penalty for murder.
184
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:48,480
When all is know,
our action will be swift, certain, and final.
185
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,800
Well, that was...inflammatory.
186
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,800
There are 20 billion very angry people
in the Castalian Republic.
187
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,400
If Chandos hadn't assured them
of his firm intentions,...
188
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,760
...they'd come up here
and tear your ship apart with their bare hands.
189
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:02,000
Good. Something else to look forward to.
190
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,040
Tyr.
191
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:23,920
Tyr,...
192
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:27,880
...it's Dylan.
193
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,040
So it is.
194
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:35,000
- Do you know where you are?
- I'm in medical. And I'm under guard.
195
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,800
What's the last thing you remember?
196
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:46,040
We were in hydroponics.
You were talking about games.
197
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,600
So you don't remember
being on Obs Deck with the president?
198
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,120
No.
199
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,800
But I'm going to assume
our meeting didn't go well.
200
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,880
While you were alone with President Lee,
201
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,800
he was killed with two shots
from your force lance.
202
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,800
Have you worked out who did it?
203
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,760
Captain, passive sensors are detecting
movement on the Castalian moon.
204
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:07,680
I'm registering a massive launch from the surface.
205
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:08,800
On my way. How many?
206
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,240
Over 300 ships,
and they're heading straight towards us.
207
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:12,960
Great.
208
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:25,400
Chancellor, what's...Mr. President,
what's going on.
209
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,200
Andromeda says you've launched an armada.
210
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:31,200
Not me, Captain. My people.
Billions of Castalians are howling for blood.
211
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,400
Our military high command has decided
that I am a hostage on your ship,...
212
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,200
...and we never bargain with hostage takers.
213
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,680
So, tell them you're safe...
that you can leave any time you'd like.
214
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,440
I've tried that.
They believe that I am under duress.
215
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,600
There must be someone willing to listen.
You can't let things escalate like this.
216
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:49,040
I did not create this situation, Captain.
Your crewman did.
217
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:55,000
If you would like it to end, I would suggest
that you deliver the killer to our custody. And soon.
218
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:59,280
Otherwise, I cannot be responsible
for the actions of my people.
219
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,320
So if you turn Tyr over to the Castalians,
what will they do with him?
220
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:15,200
Put him on trial,
probably a big showy one.
221
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:16,600
A fair trial?
222
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:20,120
Chandos's personality is abrasive,
but his reputation is spotless.
223
00:17:20,120 --> 00:17:23,000
And Lee was...well,
he was Sebastian Lee.
224
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,320
Which is your long-winded way
of saying you hope so.
225
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:31,200
If you're asking me, would I betray an innocent man
just to get my Commonwealth, the answer is no.
226
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,800
But there is one question none of us wants to ask.
227
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:36,200
Which is?
228
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,240
What if Tyr isn't an innocent man?
229
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,680
- That's your reconstruction of the crime?
- As of now.
230
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:57,280
I think that's the most pathetic and ill-planned
excuse for an assassination I've ever seen.
231
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:02,800
And I speak as one who has had some...
slight experience in these matters.
232
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:07,000
So you would have done things differently.
233
00:18:08,360 --> 00:18:09,840
Method 1:
234
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:15,160
Slow acting poison in his food. A bit obvious,
but no sure way to connect it to me.
235
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:16,400
Method 2:
236
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:20,600
Nanobots in his shuttle, timed for reentry.
The shuttle burns up and leaves no evidence.
237
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:21,640
Method 3:
238
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:26,600
A dart tipped with stonefish toxin.
Primitive, but undetectable...mimics heart failure.
239
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:30,240
Or I could have arranged for his breathing apparatus
to fail, or perhaps I might have replaced his...
240
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,400
I get the picture,
I get the picture.
241
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,240
Good.
242
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:38,160
Then there can only be one conclusion.
I'm innocent.
243
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,800
Because you never would have gotten caught.
244
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:42,840
Precisely.
245
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:46,360
Well then, now that that's out of the way,
246
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,840
would you like to suggest
that the greater good requires my surrender?
247
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:51,280
Your surrender?
248
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,320
For a man determined to cook
history's greatest omelette,
249
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:58,080
you're awfully squeamish
about cracking your eggs.
250
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:04,800
It's not like he doesn't kill people.
I mean, hell, it used to be his day job.
251
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,480
Yeah, but nobody hired Tyr to kill Lee.
252
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,000
Did they?
253
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,960
All I'm saying is...
and it may sound a little selfish...
254
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:19,000
sometimes you gotta throw a wolf to the wolves
to keep the rest of us from getting eaten.
255
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,680
Please. I could swat
that fishing fleet of theirs in the Maru.
256
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,920
Yeah, and you'd eat them for lunch.
Now there's a thought.
257
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:30,120
Do fish people eat fish?
Or is it like humans eating monkeys or apes?
258
00:19:30,120 --> 00:19:32,600
The Castalians are humans.
259
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,120
Genetically engineered to breathe water,
but still human.
260
00:19:35,120 --> 00:19:38,480
Besides, humans do eat monkeys.
Humans eat other humans.
261
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,680
As a species,
we are really quite unpleasant.
262
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,400
So, Mr. Harper,
you care to update us on the investigation?
263
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:48,800
Gladly. I'm completely at the colonel's disposal.
And I mean *completely*.
264
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:50,560
I'm sure you do.
265
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:57,600
OK. Weaponry 101.
The force lance is the High Guard's favorite toy.
266
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,960
Retracted, it can be used as a light source
or a scanner or whatever else comes to mind,
267
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:05,440
and deployed, it makes a nifty quarterstaff or,
uh, limbo bar.
268
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,800
Now, in either configuration,
269
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:15,600
it can fire tiny attack drones effectors
basically smart bullets from a smart gun.
270
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,800
This force lance has recently
fired two such effectors.
271
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,080
Timestamp matches President Lee's death.
272
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,280
However, according to the internal sensors,
273
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:28,840
the effectors were fired at a low velocity
straight down toward the deck.
274
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:33,200
As they slowed to zero, they each acquired the target
and then attacked on their own power,
275
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,320
like a couple of bats out of H-E-double-hockey-sticks.
276
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,080
Kind of an indirect way to shoot someone.
277
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,760
You're telling me.
And that's not the weird part.
278
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:44,960
There was a full capacitor discharge
that matches Tyr's electric shock.
279
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:50,680
Force lances are keyed to the owner's DNA.
If it shocked him, it wasn't his force lance.
280
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,640
Oh, it definitely was his.
281
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,440
These are the weapon id's
that Andromeda downloaded.
282
00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,200
The serial numbers match.
283
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,280
The murder was committed
with the Nietzschean's force lance.
284
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:03,760
The murder was committed by the Nietzschean.
285
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:05,200
Why would he shock himself?
286
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,560
Maybe he wanted it to look
like he'd been attacked.
287
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,600
Nietzscheans don't deliberately injure themselves.
It's anti-survival.
288
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:12,200
You know, none of this makes any sense.
289
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,400
Assassinating Sebastian Lee doesn't make sense.
290
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:20,040
So what if the Nietzschean chose
an eccentric way to shoot the president.
291
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,000
Assassins have been known to be eccentric.
292
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:26,000
Not Tyr. Uh...overbearing, self-righteous,
vain, vicious, brutal,
293
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,880
way too serious, and a little big, yeah.
But eccentric? No.
294
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:32,880
Are you sure this isn't less about justice
than it is about pinning the murder on Tyr?
295
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:33,920
Pinning?
296
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:36,640
Pinning?
297
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:41,600
Your crewman was alone in a room with someone
that he had every reason in three galaxies to want dead.
298
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,600
That person is now dead.
And with all your hemming and hawing,...
299
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:48,400
...all you've succeeded in doing is to prove
that he was shot with your man's gun.
300
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:52,640
Thank you for the information.
I'll make sure it's conveyed to the proper authorities.
301
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:59,200
Well, score another point for informed cooperation.
302
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,000
Beka, in the old days,
303
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,120
did you ever do any background checks
on the people who were hiring you?
304
00:22:04,120 --> 00:22:06,800
Yeah, all the time.
Better safe than sorry.
305
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:08,920
Exactly what I was thinking.
306
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,600
OK,
here's what we've got on Colonel Ironpants.
307
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:16,080
It was her job to protect the president.
Well done.
308
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:20,680
She also had the specs on Tyr's weapon by her own
request, and she's awfully eager to hang Tyr.
309
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:24,800
So we've got method and opportunity,
but not motive.
310
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:26,800
She adored Lee.
He freed her people.
311
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,040
Not in time to save her family.
312
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:30,800
They were Nietzschean slaves.
313
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:32,680
The laborers who died on the habitat.
314
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:36,200
You don't brand your employees.
You brand your slaves.
315
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,800
If Tyr's right about the Volsung Pride...
if Lee deliberately ordered its destruction,
316
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:43,960
then he also ordered the deaths
of the forced laborers and Yao's family.
317
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:45,240
Revenge.
318
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:46,200
Always a popular dish.
319
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,840
Add another name to the list.
Which makes three.
320
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:51,600
Tyr, Yao, and who else?
321
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,440
Revenge is always a solid motive for murder,...
322
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,000
...but there's another old standard
we've been overlooking.
323
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:58,960
Power.
324
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,040
Impossible. You're grasping at straws.
325
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:03,320
Am I?
326
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:07,000
Yesterday Chandos was chancellor.
Today he is president. That's quite a promotion.
327
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,520
One which he would have gotten
even if Lee were still alive.
328
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,280
Maybe he got impatient.
329
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,200
How long would he have had to wait?
Ten years? Twenty?
330
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,000
Three days, Captain.
331
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:20,960
Sebastian Lee was planning to resign
as soon as the charter was ratified.
332
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,320
It was to be his last great act as president.
333
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,800
Chandos would've been president
by the end of the week, and he knew it.
334
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:32,040
Now, if you're through insulting our
elected officials, I have a report to make.
335
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:36,480
Captain, a Castalian ship is attempting
forced entry into Hangar 3.
336
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:42,320
Given the circumstances,
I'm going to have to ask you to wait here.
337
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:56,200
They're trying to override the door controls.
Should I just let them in?
338
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,520
Let them feel like
they're accomplishing something.
339
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:21,400
Welcome aboard.
340
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,320
Now!
341
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,040
Colonel.
342
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:01,200
The Castalian government would like
to make it clear that this attack...
343
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:05,200
...was an unauthorized action by civilian militia.
344
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,120
I'm sure they would.
345
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,320
Thank you for avoiding any bloodshed.
346
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,560
I'm not sure we would have done
the same in your place.
347
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:17,880
I want you to look at something.
348
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,560
- More schematics.
- Bear with me.
349
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,120
Each force lance is keyed to its owner.
350
00:25:27,120 --> 00:25:30,400
Andromeda, what happens if someone tries to use
a force lance that doesn't belong to them?
351
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:34,200
The capacitor is discharged,
and the unauthorized user is shocked unconscious.
352
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,120
But this *is* Tyr's force lance.
353
00:25:37,120 --> 00:25:39,840
The serial numbers confirm it.
It wouldn't have shocked him.
354
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:43,080
Normally, you'd be right.
Normally.
355
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:47,600
But today I took out your...
concerned citizens...
356
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:51,120
- ...with a force lance operating by remote control.
- Remote control?
357
00:25:51,120 --> 00:25:54,000
Someone with the right codes
can control a force lance,
358
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:58,160
either by voice, pulsed laser,
or microwave transmission.
359
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:02,280
So, what I'm suggesting is this.
360
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:06,000
Tyr was in the room with President Lee,
making his apologies.
361
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,480
Suddenly,
his force lance discharged two effectors.
362
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:13,520
Now, Lee saw the effectors leave Tyr's sidearm,
and he shouted.
363
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,240
But he was too late.
Lee was killed.
364
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,800
Tyr grabbed his weapon and tried to control it,
but it shocked him.
365
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:21,480
Why?
366
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:26,280
Because Tyr's command of his sidearm
had been taken from him.
367
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:29,320
Control was somehow assigned to someone else.
368
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:33,320
Andromeda, do you have any record of intercepted
transmissions at the time of President Lee's death?
369
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,640
There was a low-frequency microwave transmission
detectable outside Obs Deck.
370
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:38,480
Origination?
371
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:43,800
The transmission originated from a communications
port in the observation deck itself.
372
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,160
I control that port.
373
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,520
Captain, the evidence is clear.
374
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,240
I killed President Lee.
375
00:26:59,960 --> 00:27:04,080
My records clearly indicate
that I gave the order to kill President Lee.
376
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,200
But do you remember doing it?
377
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:10,040
Memory is just a function of information retrieval.
The information is there. I did it.
378
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:14,000
But you don't remember intending to do it,
or planning to do it.
379
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:15,520
No. No, I don't.
380
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:19,080
OK, here's my plan.
381
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,880
We download your personality into my neural net
until we get this sorted out.
382
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,640
- We what?
- Have you read the Castalian legal code?
383
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:29,200
Do you know what they do to an AI
who commits murder? They disassemble it!
384
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:32,600
In the Commonwealth, we did the same thing.
Complete personality reinitialization.
385
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,800
Yeah, but they can't erase you
if they can't find you.
386
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:39,800
Come on, Rommie, interface with me.
It's the closest I'm ever gonna get.
387
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:43,520
I'll just store your data in my cranium
until we can solve this stupid mystery.
388
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,520
Harper,
that would work for about a millisecond.
389
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,840
Then your brain would fry
like an egg on a plasma relay.
390
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,680
You saying you're too smart for me?
391
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:58,440
I'm saying it's very sweet of you to offer,
but I'm not going to hide from the Castalians.
392
00:28:03,120 --> 00:28:07,400
- What are you doing loose.
- General consensus is that I am innocent.
393
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,040
You're many things,
but innocent is not one of them.
394
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,880
- I imagine that makes two of us.
- What's that supposed to mean?
395
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:16,680
It means congratulations
on committing the perfect crime.
396
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,320
I won't even dignify that with a reply.
397
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:23,000
You killed Lee,
and then you arranged for me to take the blame,...
398
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:26,680
...knowing full well that no Castalian
would ever believe an innocent Nietzschean.
399
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:28,880
That's insane. Why would I do that?
400
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:32,240
Because Lee ordered the death of your family.
401
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,800
Sebastian Lee never made that order.
402
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:39,160
And if I believed for one minute that he did,
I would have killed him.
403
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,600
May we have that in writing?
404
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,000
Pesky little critters.
405
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:52,880
What's up, Harper?
406
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:01,200
Dylan, I have a confession to make.
407
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:09,960
It was me. Lee, the murder...
408
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:13,760
...I did it.
409
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,480
I programmed Rommie to kill Lee.
410
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,080
Not now, Harper.
I don't have the time for this.
411
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:24,040
Well, fine. I'll confess to the Castalians.
They'll believe me.
412
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,600
OK, why did you do it?
413
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:30,400
Why? Why?
Because.
414
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:34,800
Because...I didn't like their stupid fish music.
That's why.
415
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:39,800
Harper, I appreciate your loyalty.
But what I really need you to do is solve this crime.
416
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:44,080
Andromeda's checked every program in her inventory
and she can't find a trace of the hacker.
417
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:48,600
So, if you could just move the confessional back
to the machine shop, that would be great.
418
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:52,760
Fine.
But I reserve the right to confess later.
419
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,000
Hey!
Harper confessed to the murder, huh?
420
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:18,520
He tried.
421
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:20,680
Yeah, well, his heart's in the right place.
422
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:22,120
Dylan,...
423
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,640
...maybe we should cut our losses.
There are a million other worlds out there.
424
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:27,760
Plenty of fish in the sea?
425
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:29,960
You said it, not me.
426
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:34,000
My problem isn't leaving.
My problem is the...
427
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:38,400
...statement we'd be making that this ship and her crew
are somehow above the law, that we're...
428
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,480
...better than the people we're trying to help.
429
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:41,880
Aren't we?
430
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:47,200
Hey! I read the first officer's job description.
Play devil's advocate's on page three.
431
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:50,040
Get thee behind me, Satan.
432
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:09,000
- Andromeda, I was just...
- Looking for me. I know.
433
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:17,000
Captain, I'm ready to surrender myself
to the Castalian authorities.
434
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:20,320
- I won't let you sacrifice yourself.
- Dylan, I'm a warship.
435
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:24,360
I was created with the knowledge that I might
be sacrificed for the good of the Commonwealth.
436
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,120
I've always been prepared for that.
437
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:30,320
- Haven't you?
- It was always a possibility.
438
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:34,360
But in battle, going down fighting together.
Not like this.
439
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:36,840
What is it Rev Bem always says?
440
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,840
The universe doesn't always
give you what you want.
441
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:42,680
It gives you what you need.
442
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:56,360
Dylan, you're not gonna believe this.
443
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:58,920
Oh, no.
You're not gonna confess again, are you?
444
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,800
I'll resent that tomorrow, but for now...
excuse me...
445
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:03,600
check this out.
446
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:08,240
This is President Lee
when he first entered command.
447
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:14,760
Now, here's Chandos taking the oath.
448
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:21,920
Now, Lee at the supper party.
449
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:27,720
Now, observe.
450
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:32,520
Captain, you wanted to speak to me?
451
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,120
You see?
452
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:41,960
Not exactly see,
but my hearing is just fine.
453
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,640
This is Captain Dylan Hunt of the High Guard.
454
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:59,960
Investigation has shown that an Artificial Intelligence
was involved in the tragic death of your president.
455
00:32:59,960 --> 00:33:06,120
In such a case, Commonwealth law demands
that the AI's personality be completely erased.
456
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:13,880
I invite you, the people of the Castalian Republic,
to observe the law in action.
457
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,640
Bring in the prisoner.
458
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:20,000
President Chandos will bear witness...
459
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,960
...as I give the codes which will destroy
the Andromeda intelligence.
460
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:27,680
- Andromeda Ascendant, are you ready?
- Yes, Captain, I am ready.
461
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:30,880
Oh, we almost forgot.
Mr. President, your entrance music.
462
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,040
What? No...I...
463
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,600
- We want to observe proper protocol.
- No!
464
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:37,760
No, no, please, no, stop,
465
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:47,880
Is there a problem?
466
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:52,800
This is a mistake.
I don't understand.
467
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,000
Of course you do.
468
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,600
You're the one that loaded the computer virus
into the presidential music.
469
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:00,400
Which is why you never played any for yourself.
470
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:04,000
After Tyr's behavior
provided you with the perfect cover,...
471
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:07,400
...you directed Andromeda
to kill President Lee.
472
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,280
At least,
kill the man in the presidential breastplate.
473
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:14,720
Recognition software is dicey, and you Castalians,
you all look so much alike.
474
00:34:14,720 --> 00:34:17,680
Excluding, of course, Colonel Yao.
475
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:21,840
Much safer to tell Rommie to target the guy
with the dish on his chest...
476
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:26,960
...than to tell her to shoot at a guy
with tubes sticking out of his fishneck.
477
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:28,800
It was a good plan,...
478
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,800
... you must admit.
- You needed better music.
479
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:38,400
Ulysses Chandos,...
480
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:43,000
...I'm placing you under arrest
for the murder of President Lee.
481
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:47,600
I don't understand.
You were already gonna succeed him.
482
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:54,280
- You just had to wait a few more days.
- For his resignation. That was the problem.
483
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:58,600
Please...please stop the camera.
484
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:02,560
I want to talk to Colonel Yao
and Captain Hunt in private.
485
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:04,760
Clear the deck.
486
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:11,120
You have to understand.
487
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:16,200
- What I did, I did for Castalia.
- You're lying.
488
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:19,680
You both know that Lee was going to resign
after the charter ratification,...
489
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:24,000
...but have you seen his resignation speech?
490
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,640
Well, I have.
491
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:29,760
He couldn't leave well-enough alone.
492
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:32,000
His damn ego.
493
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:36,600
He didn't want to just be a hero.
He wanted to be a saint.
494
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:38,800
But we both know
there are no saints on the battlements,...
495
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:41,680
- are there, Captain?
- No. Not really.
496
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,960
The Volsung orbital
did not explode by accident.
497
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:49,000
Lee ordered its destruction.
I know, I was there. We both agreed.
498
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:52,200
You let the super-men go,
and they'll come back stronger than before.
499
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:57,600
There are no non-combatant Nietzscheans.
A three-year-old will disembowel a man.
500
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:02,000
What about the laborers?
The slaves?
501
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:05,040
Collateral damage.
502
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:08,400
A small price to pay for freedom.
503
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:10,320
- Or so we thought.
- I don't believe you.
504
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:11,800
Oh, the record's clear, colonel.
505
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:15,600
Your hero, he had feet of clay...
bloody clay, at that.
506
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:20,200
But even worse, he had a conscience.
If he had confessed,...
507
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:22,600
...the air-breathers
would have demanded blood vengeance.
508
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:27,320
The water-breathers, they would've resisted,
and we would've been faced with a civil war.
509
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:32,800
I tried to talk him out of it. I told him
he was putting too much trust in his people,
510
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:36,520
but he...of course, he would not listen.
511
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,760
He left me no choice.
512
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:43,640
- I had to save the republic.
- By killing the man who created it.
513
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,760
You must let me go.
514
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:52,880
We can find someone else to blame
for Lee's murder, or leave it unsolved.
515
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:59,120
But we can't let the truth come out.
It will destroy us all. Castalia and your Commonwealth.
516
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:03,400
If you think I'll cooperate in a coverup,...
517
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:06,800
...you're mistaken.
518
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:09,680
Colonel, your prisoner.
519
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:28,240
That's a lifepod to your right.
520
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:32,880
You're letting me go.
521
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:36,000
- No, you're trying to escape.
- What?
522
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:38,800
What are you doing?
523
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:40,760
I wish you wouldn't.
524
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:44,320
- It'll only make things worse.
- It will make everything right.
525
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:47,920
I'll kill him, then confess to being guilty
to killing them both.
526
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:49,360
They'll believe me.
527
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:52,600
They never turn down a confession.
Especially from a breather.
528
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:54,440
They'll execute you.
529
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:58,360
It's the only way to preserve the republic.
530
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:01,240
I'm not going to let either of you
cover up a genocide.
531
00:38:01,240 --> 00:38:05,480
If the Commonwealth stands for anything,
it stands for open process of the law.
532
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:08,400
And if the institutions of Sebastian Lee
can survive his death,...
533
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:11,680
...they certainly can survive the truth
about his life.
534
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:13,600
And you...
535
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:18,400
...you've been fighting me all along,
demanding justice. Well, now you can have it.
536
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:22,360
- But only if you let the truth come out.
- The truth?
537
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:29,120
The truth is that the man
that I loved like a father betrayed my people.
538
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:35,000
I would have died for him!
He was a great man.
539
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:42,960
A great man who made a terrible mistake.
540
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:45,920
And the people of Castalia should know that.
541
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:49,800
Nothing is more important than the truth.
542
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:52,240
Nothing.
543
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:06,720
Parliament ratified the charter
with three votes to spare.
544
00:39:06,720 --> 00:39:11,240
- Another step toward a new Commonwealth.
- A rather large one.
545
00:39:11,240 --> 00:39:14,360
I should think you would be pleased.
546
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:19,200
I've been following the news reports.
547
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:23,080
Riots on some of the islands,
counter-demonstrations.
548
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:26,920
It'll probably blow over soon.
549
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:30,640
- Are you familiar with Aeschuylus?
- Ancient Earth, right? Greek tragedy?
550
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:36,080
Very good.
I was thinking specifically of the Orestean Trilogy.
551
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:39,480
The house of Atreus was cursed by the gods,
552
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:41,600
condemned to murder
one another throughout history.
553
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:45,480
Orestes mother killed his father.
He was forced to kill her in revenge.
554
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:50,800
Forced to kill.
Much as Andromeda was forced to kill.
555
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,200
Do you remember
how the curse was finally ended?
556
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:55,880
Apollo invented the jury trial.
557
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:59,080
- The jury found Orestes innocent.
- Indeed.
558
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:03,680
The cycle was broken when public justice
replaced private vengeance,...
559
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:06,520
...just as you are trying to do.
560
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:09,920
There's only one problem
with your analogy, Rev.
561
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:15,640
Apollo was a god.
I'm just a man.
