Original subtitles

Inside everyone, there is a hunger,

a desire to be something greater than themselves.

It has gnawed at humanity since the dawn of time. There's an answer,

an answer so pure and sweet it makes one tremble with joy.

Say it with me.

This is Authority Patrol Vessel CG238. You are entering solar gravity threshold.

Urgent. Please acknowledge.

Please acknowledge.

Everyone is your friend.

But first, we must get there.

We will all pass through the sun's eternal fire to be one with Vahuti again.

Brother 13, I urgently seek reassurance.

Jacob, how many times have we gone through this?

I pray and fast and meditate as you have instructed, but... well, doubt creeps in.

Yes.

Doubt is very corrosive.

And I can appreciate your fears.

But faith doesn't come from fear, Jacob.

It's born out of courage and self-sacrifice.

How far are you willing to go for your faith, Jacob?

Come here.

Your infinite wisdom will be my guide, brother. Take out your dagger.

Would you cut off your arm for the Lord Almighty

to show him your willingness to serve?

Enough.

Your devotion is seen and acknowledged.

You are ready to receive Vohuji's blessed rejuvenation.

Know the power of your true path.

Feel the faith.

Oh, praise be!

Blessed be!

The clouds have parted.

Now I see. Praise be to Vahuti!

You are known and loved.

Now leave me, Jacob.

I must meditate.

You know, there's too many amateur pilots out there.

That's why the authority has to patrol around here.

Keep them from crashing into the sun. If you

ask me if they want to fry, let them fry.

I agree, let them fry.

Captain, an unidentified vessel is on the edge of radar zone three.

Visualizing and enlarging.

It's as big as a tulip.

Capacity 500 or so. I wonder what they're doing out here.

That must be what the authority patrol shuttles were after.

The unidentified vessel will enter the solar gravity threshold in two hours,

18 minutes, and will detonate if it maintains its present course.

Try an emergency frequency, Luke.

No need. They're already broadcasting. Put it up, Car, won't you?

The great day I foresaw has come,

where all Vahuti's children will be in the heart of the unknown.

They're heading into the sun on purpose.

Who is Vahuti?

Stop and hold, Car.

Luke, contact the Authority. See if they know about this situation.

Yeah. Vahuti.

He's a tutti frutti hoodie.

We're finally going to be one with Vahuti.

No.

I have another fate for you.

Oh, but I've waited so long to be with the Almighty.

Are you questioning me?

Do you know more than I about the mysteries of faith?

No.

Of course not. I'm sorry.

When all of Vahuti's children will see things the way they are.

Praise him with all your heart.

Surrender totally.

It's an internal narrowcast from the ship. They're not receiving on any channel.

Cor, is there anything in the net on these clowns?

Preliminary analysis of the station indicates it's

a religious sanctuary owned by the church of Amiga, who worship Vahuti.

I'm sorry, but I still can't believe there are gods named Behudi.

Behudi is a drink.

Behudi is a dance. Behudi's not a god.

What do you expect? They're a bunch of crazy fanatics.

Why are you so quick to judge?

Look, these people are on a suicide mission into the sun. To me, that sounds crazy.

Unless they're really, really stupid.

Yeah, or that.

All I know is believing in something greater than yourself,

no matter what it's called, is as human a need as food or shelter.

All I know is I don't want some cult leader telling me what God wants me to do.

Fine.

Guard, do we have time to catch them before they hit the red zone?

Window for interception is narrowing rapidly.

All right, let's give it our best shot.

Brethren, make way for Brother 13, last prophet of the almighty Vahuti!

Friends, prepare yourselves to enter Vahuti's great home in the sun.

Sun!

Give him all your praises.

You know now joy. Joy. You came to me lost. Lost.

Now, the great moment of salvation has come, for which he wrote,

you will lose yourselves in the greater good,

and thus rediscover the purpose of your life, the purpose of all humanity.

Praise Brother 13.

Praise Mahuti. Praise Mahuti.

I have loved you. Loved us.

I have known you. Know us.

I have saved you. Save us.

They're caught in the red zone.

These poor bastards.

Oh, man, isn't there anything we can do?

Well, there's the shuttle, but it only can evacuate four people at a time.

Captain, hull temperature is approaching critical.

G-Force is equaling needed escape velocity thrust.

God, they're not going to make it. Captain?

Stand and hold, Cor. It's too late.

You are all in Bahuti's arms, my friends.

I go with my disciples in search of a new ark,

in search of more souls to rejuvenate.

Why did you take me?

I wanted to stay with the Hootie like the others.

Stop your damn whining!

I've seen enough.

Why would they kill themselves?

You want to answer that, Luke?

What kind of prophet would demand that of his followers?

I don't know.

Well, if that's what religion is, then forget that. Who needs that?

That's right.

Hold on.

Look, just because they destroyed themselves

doesn't invalidate people's need for belief.

Have detected the iron signature of a standard-issue

shuttle moving away from the arc, or what's left of it.

It's impossible. It would burn up with the arc.

Unless it left the arc at the last second.

Its present course and thruster power will not allow it to escape the sun's gravity.

Well, I wonder who was saved.

Let's get that shuttle car.

Vectoring coordinates to intersect shuttle.

Man, these bananas are chock-full of surprises.

Dante, the shuttlecraft is not responding.

Jacob, do something! Mayday, mayday, vessel in distress!

Well, shall we roll out the welcoming committee, Luke?

Yes.

Wow.

I've officially witnessed a mass suicide.

Remind me to make a note of that in my diary later.

Understood.

Shuttlecraft, docking is secure. Prepare to disembark.

We copy that rescue vessel.

Praise be to Vahuti.

I wonder what kind of cult freaks we picked up.

Brother 13, the most high and venerable prophet of the almighty Vahuti.

Peace be unto you, friends.

Hold it right there, all of you. What are you doing? Caravaggio, scan him.

The one in the robe has a knife.

I'll do it.

Okay.

Come on, give it up. No one may touch the prophet!

Ready?

Ready?

Got him?

It's just a mere ornament, a manifestation of. Yeah, I heard that all before.

Who are you?

I am Marina, wife of the prophet.

The wife?

She's old enough to be your daughter, mister. Are you sitting in judgment on me?

Oh yeah, and I judge you to be garbage.

I'll tell you speak to brother 13 this way.

It's my ship, I can talk any way I want.

Those outside of knowing are deserving of our pity, Marina.

You must control your anger.

Oh, you know me, and save me from myself.

Please, he's hurt. Could I just tend to his injuries?

Mook, that one goes to lockup.

These are all escorted to the guest quarters.

Let's go, ninth boy.

I am bodyguard to the prophet. I must be with him at all times.

This is religious persecution!

Everyone wants to be forgiven and loved.

You're no different.

Hold on.

I never said I was different. Get in.

You seek love in the wrong places.

Really?

You're very insightful.

I gained my insight from Brother 13.

His knowledge of your heart is superior.

You can help me find what's missing.

Really?

But I'm not missing anything.

See? I've got you to it.

Are you ready for the Promised Land?

Do you mean the Promised Land in the middle of the sun?

It's a state of mind.

And what was the state of mind of the people who died?

Pure, unadulterated joy.

And what was your state of mind as you wet yourself and you jumped the ship?

Same as it is now.

You're an asshole.

Bright lights.

Brighter than the sun.

And an angel sent to save us.

Why'd you do it?

My lord and master commanded it.

I am Meli's vessel.

Your god Vahuti told you to incinerate your

followers while you conveniently ran away.

They put their trust in me and their trust was rewarded, as I foresaw.

The ultimate knowledge of self-sacrifice.

I think Vahuti is just another pathetic fairy tale that's been used

to manipulate the poor and weak since the beginning of time.

Such terrible lies.

Accept the hand of faith and self-knowledge.

And be at peace.

You don't look that sick to me, brother.

You will not accept the gift of faith.

You will never know, Vahuti.

I pity you.

Save your pity.

Let's see if old Vahuti saves a mass murderer's sorry ass.

Luke, check him out.

He's legally alive. Put him in a cage.

Caravaggio, do a medical scan on brother... Mr. 13.

No internal injuries or abnormalities. Second-degree burn affecting forehead.

You can recover from your losses and find your true purpose.

That is really, really good to know.

You want to know him, don't you?

You hunger for the truth and salvation.

I can see it in you.

You are a seeker.

Of course, there is the extremely small possibility

that Vahuti might actually be a god.

Right.

Ferhuti himself was a 20th century monk who wrote extensive biblical analysis.

According to the literature, Brother 13 was an army mechanic,

a drone living on Callisto when the Civil War started. He was a POW for 11 months.

Really?

Are you going to start his own religion when he got free?

Claims the experience gave him special powers of empathy and faith.

He's been quite successful gathering followers.

I should have some followers.

Promises to know their hearts and consequently to

love them and lead them down their true path.

Yeah, yeah, into the sun, I got it.

Typical cult climax.

If I were your uncle, I'd unload these people at the earliest opportunity.

Car, a lot of cars for the Mercury base.

We're going to dump these crazies with the authorities.

Get me Rudolph. I want to send a message.

Right away.

Hey, Percy.

You do me a favor and help Luke out?

Bring some food down to the scumbag and that little girl?

What? You're my waitress? Food?

Percy, please? Come on.

Jeez.

You'll live.

What is your name, my child?

Night Child.

I'm just the waitress. Here's your food.

I have no need for worldly substance.

Fantastic.

You're married to this guy?

Yes. It is a great honor to have been chosen.

Yeah.

Yeah, it must be nice not to be one of the dead people.

We were all a big happy family living in the love of Vahuti,

under Brother Thirteen's guidance.

You bore her host with your lack of understanding.

I was only going to say how much more I loved you.

You disappoint me.

I'm sorry. Out of my sight. I need a moment to look.

You better go after her.

Creepy.

Okay, you've got one moment.

Why am I surrounded with doubt?

I sense you understand.

Such a burden, caring for disbelievers around me.

Right, okay, you know what? You seem a lot better to me. Come on, let's go.

You are a woman of intensity and purpose.

Yet you struggle with your doubt.

You strive for clarity in search of the cluster.

Pardon?

Please, your father.

Find a key to the cluster.

Exactly what cluster are you talking about?

You have an important quest.

I too have a quest.

Perhaps we have a common purpose to be discovered.

What's wrong? My head.

The pain.

Let me see. Hold on, let me look at it. Come on, let me see.

Knowledge and love before salvation.

Feel the power of Vahuti. What have you done? Don't worry.

Your question will be answered, and your purpose will become clear.

In the name of the living Vahuti, I have come to save you.

Cults frequently offer a simple solution to people's troubles.

Their appeal lies in the illusion of perfection that the leader creates.

An illusion that the leader himself believes even as he manufactures it.

What now? I thought you could use some help.

And some handcuffs.

No offense.

You're gonna have to get up now.

Where are you taking me?

Don't worry, I'm not going to convert you to free will or anything like that.

If you want to believe in Bahuti, it's your business.

Did you leave him with her?

Luke?

Yeah, I guess I did.

Come on, let's go. Well, maybe I can go back now.

Well, maybe. Let's go.

There, see? I made my day. Look at that.

Welcome, sister.

Bahuti's knowledge and salvation is well within your grasp.

Is Fahuti really the one?

The one you're looking for. Yes, he is.

The others are mere idols.

Answer me this.

Are you fulfilled?

Are you happy the way your life has gone?

I sometimes feel...

Like I've done something wrong, like I've let

others make decisions for me. I do have doubt.

Because you're wasting your time bounty hunting.

A profession for jackals and carnators.

No, that's not it.

There's something else I'm supposed to be doing.

Gathering.

Being a cop is destroying your soul.

You seek greater recognition. No, no.

Yes.

I can give you that.

Join in Vahuti's loving embrace.

Vahuti knows and loves me.

You will be saved.

You will be a key member of my inner centrum.

Even a bride during her rejuvenation.

No, I need to think.

I have given you what you've longed for.

Hey, Jacob. Hey, Jacob. I only hope they broadcast your leader's execution.

That ought to convert a few souls.

Luke, why isn't he in his cell? No, no, he's not

ready. He needs to rest. He can rest in his cell.

Never mind, sister. It's okay. When did she become your sister?

I think Sister Luke has always had a need of greater power.

Isn't that right, my child?

My child? Luke, what's wrong with you? Are you falling for his line of crap?

You've never understood my need for answers.

Brother 13, he knows.

That she seeks knowledge and love.

With that will come salvation.

Praise Vahuti. Yes.

Luke, Vahuti's not God.

God would not send his children to kill themselves, would he? Vahuti is not God!

I feel nothing but sadness hearing these words.

Eluti loves even those who deny him.

I think he can really help you, Dante. I think he's really helping me.

I will pray for you, Captain.

Save your prayers.

Luke, you're confined to quarters till we get to the Mercury base. You understand?

That's an order. Go on, Luke.

You need time for contemplation, to banish all doubt, and strengthen your faith.

Eluti wishes you to come.

What the hell did you do to her?

It's better if you choose.

If not, Vahuti will choose you.

What did you do to her?

Let me go, you son of a bitch!

Answer me!

Vahuti gave me more power than you could ever dream of.

I read minds.

I help people find their true path.

To believe.

You undo what you've done to Luke, and you're

not making it to the patrol base, brother.

I performed a rejuvenation of faith on Luke.

And I can do the same thing to you.

You won't be the first prisoner I've lost, pal.

I have offered salvation to hundreds of souls.

I can use a ship like yours to save even more.

Your pathetic little quest is enough for you, Matt.

You care for no one but your lost son.

But he doesn't even remember what you look like.

Pig!

You may not touch the Holy One!

If he's the Holy One, I'm Santa Claus.

You resist recognizing my power, even though you witness them.

I need special powers to beat someone's family wreck.

Bullshit.

Through suffering comes clarity.

This is what I imparted to Sister Luke during her rejuvenation.

Rejuvenation, my ass. The only power you have is lies.

Like the lies she used to send those people to their death.

It was not to their death!

Into the heart of a hoodie.

Bliss and joy forevermore.

If it's so great, why'd you escape?

You call this escape?

To remain in this evil universe?

I relinquish my claim to the bliss of who it offered.

I made the greatest sacrifice of all.

I came back for this side to save others so others may.

My mission continues.

Then your mission is to rejuvenate lost souls and then send them to their death.

Blackfever!

You insult the Holy One! I will kill you!

You're both nuts.

You can rot in here for all I care.

I'm powerless in here. I feel myself weakening.

I need more faith. Please help me.

More faith!

You trivialize my pain.

I have doubt.

Thou is gaining strength in me.

Faith now!

Damn your superstice!

You failed in your duty to me.

I deny you faith, because you use it like a crutch.

Listen, Sister Lucy Cairns.

Words are like fire in my mind.

Brother, Father, Savior, Sister.

My true calling is...

I used to know.

I used to know.

Goddamn cult prophet.

Luke?

How are you feeling, Luke? Are you all right?

Cancel your privacy mode, Luke.

Caravaggio, override the privacy mode, please.

All right, where the hell is she? Luke is presently on the A-Deck.

So, do you like Billy Toonami, though?

Who's Billy Toonami?

Who's Billy Toonami?

He's only the coolest singer in the whole wide universe.

False idol worship is wrong. Right, well, I guess you would know.

So, um, why don't you tell me about your wacky

husband? Is he, um, your first boyfriend?

Oh, of course.

I was raised and kept in a perfect state according to the word of Vahooti.

Cool.

You were raised in Hawaii? You should take your virginity seriously.

I'm not a virgin.

Oh, hi, Percy.

Hey, whoa.

What you doing with that big sharp pointy thing?

Um, do you believe in Vahuti?

Why are you asking me that?

It's a question that demands an answer.

It is?

Vahuti is the one true god.

There is no other. Am I right?

Are you nuts or something?

I think what Luke is trying to say is that there is no other god than Vahuti.

Amen.

What the hell was that? You can't argue.

Not after Brother 13 has performed a rejuvenation of faith.

I don't think that Luke would fall for that Mambo Jumbo.

But she might fall for Brother 13.

He's got a way. He puts his hands on you, and it's like

he can see right into you. I have heard of that.

You haven't heard it from Brother 13. If he

takes Luke as his wife, I'll be a failure.

I want to kill myself.

I miss everybody.

I just wish I'd have stayed on the Ark.

Just be glad you're alive.

Stay away from that scum-sucking husband of yours.

We're not really married.

Commitment issues?

I don't question the words of the Prophet.

He prefers it that way.

But I do think that we should worship some higher power.

Don't you? I mean, what do you believe in?

Science, music, karma, death, you know.

You see, the longer I'm away from Brother 13, the more strange it all seems.

Can I ask you a question?

Your wifely duties, was that like group stuff?

Well, sometimes men do think they have a certain

power that translates. Is that a yes?

Percy?

What are you doing with her?

I am guarding my prisoner.

She belongs in a holding cell with her old man.

She's okay.

What do you mean, she's okay?

The magician's trick wore off?

How long does it take?

When was the last time you were rejuvenated, huh?

I don't know. A month ago?

Answer!

A month?

Maybe longer.

I want all these crazies off my ship now.

Why is it my prisoner's fault?

All right, all right, all right, good. She's your prisoner,

but you're responsible for her. Keep her on

the bridge. No one gets in except me, okay?

Thank you.

Hey, hey.

What about Luke?

Luke stays off.

That's an order.

Oh, I think we have a situation.

Praise him in a thousand ways. Praise him.

Now, would you be so kind to let me out of this foul place?

There's still so much I don't know about Behuti.

How did he come to be?

We'll work together and discover the answers you seek.

So often it comes from within. Now, give Jacob back his knife.

This ship will do as our new sanctuary.

More decrepit in the ark, but the Nile of Beauty will serve our followers well.

You will educate Jacob in piloting this ship.

Our first stop will be the moon.

I have many souls seeking understanding and salvation.

And I believe I will take the captain's orders.

Jacob, we need assistance.

Sister Luke will help you regain your rightful place.

Give him your gun.

Give him your gun, for Hootie commands it.

Hold it right there.

Luke, give me your gun. Over here, please.

He's an outsider.

An enemy.

He doesn't know what you know.

Shut up!

Kill him.

Okay, Caravaggio, where are they?

Dante and Luke are in the holding cell area with the two prisoners.

Put that down.

I'm the chosen wife of Brother 13, and I must help him in his time of need.

I don't know how stupid you look.

I'm sorry. I've got to get him out.

Oh, but you have no bullets.

Luke, look at me. Now think about what you're doing, because I will shoot you.

Salvation comes from recognizing your calling.

Let her go.

You're making a big mistake now.

Nice shot.

Hello.

Don't even think about it, stupid.

Praise for Hootie.

For saving me from myself.

The temptation of violence.

Luke, you can go back to your quarters now. Everything's okay.

Go on. Go on.

Come on, let's go. Watch your step. There you go.

Gentlemen, they're all yours. Thankful hoodie.

Save thyself, preacher.

Incoming.

You know it's my nature not to give out compliments.

Cuts against every grain of my being.

Don't let it go to your head. No slacking off. I've got to hand it to you, Montana.

This was a nice piece of work here.

Was that a compliment?

It might have been.

With the bounty we're getting for this fanatic,

Good.

Well done.

Give me the gun.

Feeling any better?

So, was I brainwashed, or what?

I don't know.

He had some line of shit about being able to read minds.

Because when he touched me...

I mean, I felt something. Something happened.

The story on Brother 13 is that he actually did get some

kind of special powers of insight after extreme trauma.

Not extreme enough.

He was a POW on Callisto during the Civil War.

Did he tell you that?

No, I read his records.

But what do you think?

Is it safe to let you out? Are you going to kill us or anything?

No, it's all right.

You sure?

Yep.

So, um, thanks, Percy.

Forget it.

If I were a charismatic leader, how would I use my influence?

Would I use it for goodness or for badness?

Clark, can we get the hell out of here, please? Yes, Captain.

Some would say, Percy, start by redecorating.

But I say no.

My powers are better put to use.

That's enough.

Yes, many fear the truly great leaders.

Locate Brother 13 of the Church of Omega.

Prisoner during the Callisto Civil War.

May have had contact with Novak.

Brother 13 might have been influenced by the Divinity Cluster.

Consider him dangerous, Father.

End transmission.

Know the power of your true path.

Feel the faith that flows through me.

On the next Star Hunter.

Lucy, what did you... What?

Back up.

You know what family means.

How important it is to protect them.

What's the job?

I'll make myself useful by busting us out of here.

Let's go get Percy.

I swear I'm a stupid liar!

I know a way to open the field without tripping the alarm.
