All language subtitles for Starhunter Redux S02E07 The Third Thing

Well, thanks for being with us.

We hope to see you again
next week on The Third Thing.

That was beautiful, Michelle.
Okay, folks, that's a wrap.

Well, bravo!

Woo!

Yeah.

That was pathetic.

I mean, even by our dismal
standards. Where was the focus?

What was the heart of that piece? I mean,

was there even one single
person we even cared about? Hello?

Now have a break. Have some drugs. Have
whatever you need. But have no doubt,

when you come back, I want some ideas.

This is really starting to piss me off.

Yeah, it's a lot of boxes.

No, not this.

Why is it always us? Why
don't we get all the naff jobs?

Because we're cute and funny.

What is this stuff anyway? Every
time we come to Clark Station,

we're picking up stuff and we
don't even know what it is.

Is it too much to ask that our lives
here have just a little bit of meaning?

Oh, these are pretty cool.

The resurrection of Earth.
We've got the terraforming,

the restoration of Earth's
environment, blah, blah, blah,

and the efforts to reform the Lunar
Terran Federation with the upcoming elections.

Wow, that's a great idea, Julian.

Can we get it together in a week?

Come on, guys. Idea time.

What's next week's story?

You know, I joined this
ship as a bounty hunter.

No one told me I was just going
to be a jumped-up grease monkey.

Why do those three get all the good
gigs? Why don't we get any missions?

I don't know.

Well, I think the next job should be ours.

It should.

You know, I don't think they realize
quite how valuable we could be to this outfit.

Absolutely. You know what?

If it wasn't for me,
Travis wouldn't even be here.

You know, when we left the
Raiders, I practically saved his life.

Yes, I know. You've told me that before.

Well, he owes me.

I think you should ask him.

Me?

I hate asking people for things.

But it's your ship.

As well, you saved him.

Okay.

I'll ask him.

In fact, I'll tell him.

Police.

No.

Doctors. Police.

Teachers.

Dull, dull, dull.

I need people an audience will care about.

You know, ordinary men and
women doing extraordinary things,

and in doing those things,
becoming extraordinary themselves.

I need human stories.

You know, someone who will really
put themselves on the line for us.

How about... How about bounty hunters?

Hyper Antrium Cargo and Personnel Escort.

Jewel dealer.

Back to Mars Fed. Every crim
decide a clue to take the week off.

Ah, here's a bell runner.

Oh, the thrill of it. Only 5,000 credits.

All right, Marcus?

Yeah, great.

We've brought all the provisions on
board, purged atmosphere in the shuttle bay,

refitted the auto latch, done a
PDA scan on the filter tron units.

We'd like to handle the next bounty case,

and we've just completed
an external sensor check.

Terrific.

Yeah.

And no way, Marcus.

Oh, come on, Travis.

It's ages since we've been
out on a mission. And who's we?

Me and Percy.

And actually, it's not for me, it's her.

I'm really worried about her. I think
she's getting cabin fever. You know,

she needs to get off this ship again
before she forgets that it won't kill her.

So let me get this straight.

You're bored and Percy needs some fresh
air, so I should send you on a mission.

Do the words
life-threatening, death, even come into

your vocabulary, you
know, mean anything to you?

Yeah, well, actually they do,
and that is exactly my point.

These are the kind of things me and you
used to get into all the time, and now?

Now I spend all my days
walking around this ship

armed with nothing more
than a monkey wrench.

He has got a point, Montana.

I don't want to watch
my ass if he's rusty.

Fine.

Comrades, let me introduce to you the
universally famous holovisionary Mr.

Julian Sanders. Mr. Montana,
this is truly an honor, sir.

Truly it is.

Julian's going to be
making a documentary about us.

I still think this is a bad idea.

Holocasting our faces throughout the
solar system is not exactly smart.

Especially for you.

Damn right. Julian is a
dedicated maker of small but important

works of integrity and
relevance and intelligence.

Yes, so your point is no one will see it,
and that's worth risking my neck? Exactly.

Fame is fleeting.

So what is the point, then?

Six months' money.

Fine. Make sure they
keep my face out of it.

That goes double for me.

You won't even know
they're here. Mr. Montana.

Just want you to know that
Nazdene and I certainly appreciate our

accommodations and the
four-star treatment we're receiving.

Four-star?

Where the hell are they staying?

Oh, I realize the very nature of
our project is a little disruptive,

so as soon as we get started, soon
we'll be finished and out of your hair.

You know what I want to do?

I want to make the bounty
hunting documentary about you.

The premier bounty hunters of all time.

All time?

You know, it's probably a plonk somewhere.

What's going on?

Hello.

What are you doing? What
are you talking about?

I'm just talking about
capturing your life.

Preparing for a mission, capturing a
dangerous felon, collecting the bounty,

you know, that kind of stuff.

Well, I hate to burst your bubble,

but only about 30% of our missions deal
with what you would call dangerous felons.

Yeah, most of our
boundaries are warranted for

what? Docking
violations, unpaid child support.

Biting the heads off
documentary makers. That sort of thing.

Yeah, well, you know what? Maybe we'll
get lucky. One of those 30% will pop up.

Okay, fellas, transmitting. Miss Arcadia,
if I could ask you just a few questions,

just a moment of your time.

No comment.

What part of no comment
did you not understand?

Marcus, well, tremendous
potential, very experienced.

Is that thing on?

No, no, no.

Good.

Actually, they're all very
talented and very professional.

How would you describe your style
of leadership aboard the Tulip?

Flexible.

So this is where we keep
and maintain the weapons for

when we're dealing with
armed and dangerous criminals.

And what kind of
dangerous criminals are these?

Well, typically they'd be raiders,
ex-raiders, special forces renegades, murderers,

serial rapists, any
category of prisoners, really.

And so once you've captured these
dangerous criminals, what happens next?

Oh, we would... I would bring
them back here and interrogate them.

And you conduct these interrogations
alone? Well, by the time I've captured them,

transported them back,
they're usually manageable.

And they're locked up, right?

Uh, yeah.

Yeah, right.

If you'd like to follow me.

Basically just run the ship?

And you run it all from here?

Yep, pretty much.

What do these buttons do?

Weapons.

Okay, and these?

Navigation.

Oh.

What about these buttons?

Those buttons?

Those buttons right there?

Right there.

Nothing.

These buttons do nothing at all.

So you never... Never.

Ever. Ever. Never.

Never ever.

Never ever.

It's from my mate in crime dispatch.

Lightweight stuff. Mostly
stolen goods. Communication

devices, medicine, environmental suits.

Stanley says this guy
Tremaine escaped three days

ago from the Marius
facility. Medium security.

Medium security? It's a
damn holiday camp. Look,

he's been picked up three times by
Luke Tobey's crew. What does that mean?

It means you could
probably pick him up yourself.

Still a bit more
exciting for Julian's purposes.

If by that you mean he's a
notch up on shoplifters,

I'll give you that, but not by much.

That's the best we're going to get?

I'm afraid so.

So you're telling me that
we're going to camera in two days,

and we still don't have a story?

How stupid is that? Julian,

you're supposed to be one of the most
exciting holovisionaries in the universe.

I'll come up with something.

Julian, make it so.

Any change?

I'm afraid not. I mean,
if you start tomorrow,

this is the best you're
going to get. I mean,

we'll do our best to keep it
exciting, of course. No, no.

Just keep it real.

Hold on, hold on.

What's this we business? This
is our gig, mine and Percy's.

Pardon?

The next job, remember? I asked
him, he said yeah. You did? You did?

My goodness, you're
right, Marcus. The next job.

Uh, so what are you saying?

What he's saying is your next
movie is starring Marcus and Percy.

Yay.

What could be better than that?

10,000 credits.

A delivery of twins to Ring Shepherd.

Easy money. Thought you'd appreciate that.

A delivery of twins?

Yeah, babysitting.

Speaking of which, you two
keep an eye on those two.

Come on, Travis, we don't need that.
It's a milk run, Travis. They'll be fine.

I'll stay here and look after the ship.

Just bring back the dosh.

Mr. Montana, thank you so
much for your hospitality.

I'm always sorry you won't be joining us.

Well, maybe next time.

Enjoy your 15 minutes.

Uh, Travis, listen, I just wanted
to say thank you. I appreciate it.

Well, good luck.

Have fun.

Marcus.

Ready for your implants?

Percy?

No, this won't take but a minute or two.

Hope you aren't afraid
of the little blood.

Nope, not afraid of blood.
I know all about corticals.

I was fitted once for a fraud case.

Parameters.

Multifocal.

Neuron contact is good. Full range access.

Automatic self-functioning and
responding. Congratulations, Marcus.

You are now a camera.

That's cool.

This isn't going to work.

Sorry.

Do we need two cameras?

Is there any reason? Don't ask.

One of his.

A petty crim like
Tremaine is going to go right

back to Clark Station
and start all over again?

Why?

You can't beat Clark Station
for moving fine things. Right?

Gateway Lounge it is, then.
Marcus, you take the bar?

Right.

We'll find a table. Caravaggio, power up
the shuttle and set all doors to automatic.

Certainly, madam.

And Carr, reconfirm transport
arrival from Marius Orbital.

One hour, 43 minutes.

That'll do.

Shuttle bearer lock.

The bounty hunters are all in place.
It's as if they've all seen this before.

So what do you think of the big time?

It's okay.

Better than breathing Rudolfo's stale air.

Okay.

Something's wrong. He's
leaving the bar. Yeah.

What do you say we get out of this
dump and take it for some real fun?

Yeah, maybe. I'll be good.

We need to find out
what's going on. Right.

Oh.

Yeah, he looks pretty cute. I don't
know if he's cute up close, though.

It's hard to tell.
Only one way to find out.

After you.

No, after you.

Hi.

Hey.

Are you supposed to ask
me if I want to sit down?

Oh, uh, so, uh, take a seat.

No.

Who's the guy at the bar?

I don't know his name, but I've
definitely seen him before. He's a raider.

Anything to do with our man?

I hope not.

Thank you.

Up close, he's really ugly.

And the guy at the bar is a raider.

What's the news on the transporter?

It's out 15 minutes ago.

So any minute now.

Hey, your mate over here. Oh, great.

This is not good.

Right here, Simba. Cover me.

Marcus!

Get him. Get him.

Attention, police code 5
locked down in area Delta 1-H.

We have a code 5 in Delta 1-H.

God damn it! Are you okay? I'm fine. Fine.

Man, that was really something, wasn't it?

Now, before we go back to the
bar, let's see some highlights.

Now, before we go back to
Julian and his comments

on all the action, let's set the table.

What's the first thing?

That's right, the protagonist.

And the second thing?

The antagonist. Yes, a petty thief who
turns out to be a big-time raider assassin.

All right.

Now, what do you imagine to be
the third thing? Oh, stay tuned.

We are just getting
started here on the third thing.

Sorry, man.

My gun got stuck in my, uh... Whoa.

Oh, no.

Well, my goodness. What a
difference a day makes.

It seemed, as Julian astutely
pointed out in his last report,

that Marcus was on his way
to bagging an easy bounty.

But something went awfully wrong for
Marcus and his team. What happened down there?

How could Tremaine have
possibly foiled the good guys?

Are you okay?

I want you to remove the implant.

I understand, I understand 100%,
but... I have never seen anyone die before.

But you have to
understand that there's a 48-hour

optical scramble
following any corticoid removal.

Marcus, being blind for 48 hours
right now would not be convenient.

Just cut the feed. Mr. Fick,

I feel that I'm more than a
little responsible for this

whole mess if I hadn't been
so bloody eager to start it.

Just say...

Come on now, that's not fair.

I do hope that Marcus
isn't blaming Julian for his

failure to deal
effectively with the capture.

Hey, let's put the
question to you. Vote now.

What do you think?

Is anyone other than our
bounty hunters to blame?

Tell me now.

I missed them. They took a
shuttle to Iowa City, Sector 7.

Sector 7?

It's the east end. Let's go.

We're going after them?

We have to.

Hey, where did Rudolfo get his
information on Germaine from?

From his friend at dispatch. Why?

Germaine's a bloody X-Raider. Is that
what he calls an easy catch? Marcus,

this isn't gonna solve anything. He
doesn't come on a mission that he set up.

A mission that's
essentially an X-Raider ambush.

Why would Rudolfo send us down there
knowing that? Did you finally get my ship?

Look, there's 20 minutes
till the next shuttle.

Use this time to think this through.

I thought, well,
everything that's been going on,

I thought maybe you could use this.

This HV thing is over. Why
aren't you staying behind on Clark?

There's no way back to Mars.

Listen, we'll go down with you
to Iowa City, and I don't know,

someone will pick us up from there.

Are you okay?

It's just... You see death all the time.

I deal with making
representations of reality, you know?

And sometimes I think I
don't know anything about it.

What I saw today changed me.

Well, I got news for
you. It doesn't get easier.

Yeah.

Well, I don't think I can keep doing what
I'm doing. I mean, who cares about H.V.?

It's like I killed her down there.

Like it was me pulling
the trigger, you know? And

all for what? All for
me. All for the show.

I think you need this more than I do.

Shuttle 856 down for Europa
departing in ten minutes.

Now, while we tend to think of
teams like that of Marcus Fagan's

as unified and almost of one single mind,

it appears clear from
Julian's reportage that

tensions are very much rising to the top.

And while there is much conflict
and mistrust aboard the Tulip,

one nurturing archetype rises
above the din, Callie the Fixer.

Clearly the child of alcoholics.

She takes the opportunity
at every possible turn to

resolve the problems of
her dysfunctional family,

and in the process
ignores her own deeper needs.

Her own need for love.

Just witness her role in the Rodolfo
argument, or in Julian's weakest moment.

Fixers like Callie tend to be
extremely serious, self-reliant,

unable to trust others, unable to
relax, and clearly need to be in control.

Mars Flight 87 arriving
on Pad 3 in 30 minutes.

What now? I'm going to check departures
and make sure they haven't skipped town.

Marcus. Yeah?

Keep your eyes peeled.

Marcus, I just want to thank
you for all your help. Really.

Thank you. I just want to
apologize for getting you into this mess.

No worries. Be careful. He's not far away.

All Paranationals are requested to
register with IO in the... Should we go?

Failure to comply can
result in immediate deportation.

So far, we've only seen the perspectives
of the first things, Marcus and Percy,

but there's another point of view,
the point of view of the second thing.

We've come to that point now.

Let's see what Tremaine has seen.

Let's go.

What are you waiting for?

This is too much. I can't do this.

This is not optional.

I can't do this.

No, I'll tell you what you can't do.

You can't take care of
your kid without working.

And trust me, you leave me
here, and you'll never work again.

Anywhere. Do you understand that?

I can't.

Go!

What am I supposed to do?

Oh, damn it. Nazdeen. Nazdeen.

Tell me what to do.

Get Nazdeen's parents online right now!

Go!

Stomach.

We need to get her out of
there. Get us some help.

Yeah, yeah.

Go. Go.

Go around.

Come up behind me.

Don't shoot.

Don't shoot.

I was wondering why Jermaine
took a shot at you back at the bar.

He looked for you specifically.

You set us both up.

I'd like to see you.

All right, sunshine.

Marcus, I have a rather
important message to relay.

I'm kind of busy right now, Karr.

Marcus? Okay, so what the hell is it?

I've been trying to send you a
rather interesting image feed.

You should see it. What kind of feed?

It's being broadcast from a
holovision station on Mars.

If you wish, I can relay it through your
implant. Okay, okay. Patch it through.

Marcus, I'm afraid
you're live on holovision.

Well, audience, we've come to that time
in the program where you get to play along,

to vote, to have your say.

Now that Percy is out of the way
performing her nursing duties,

and Marcus is on his own, we all
know that the key to life is balance.

Everything in equal
proportions, they tell us.

So, keeping that in mind,

do you think we should balance
things out for our subjects?

Do you think Tremaine should be afforded
the same privileges as our bounty hunter,

now that they're one-on-one?

Should we give him a
clearer view of the situation?

Yes or no? Vote now.

Mr. Tremaine, we have
something you might like to see.

We would like to help you find Marcus.

If you look directly in
front, you'll find the solution.

Great.

Julian?

Julian, we've lost
Marcus's feed. What's going on?

I lost them.

Julian, can I report a fatality?

I'm looking for them now.

Stall them till I get back to you.

What are you doing here?

Long story. Right, where's the boy?

Rudolfo?

What's going on?

Night vision.

Julian, what the hell's going on in there?

Julian!

Hey, Marcus.

We need him alive.

Well, everything's all right then.

All right, you know the first
thing. You saw the second thing.

And now for the final ingredient,

the all-important twist that
defines drama in its highest form.

The third thing, Callisto Arcadia.

I think you need to see the third
thing. Yeah, I think we should.

It's a show, so it's... The
third thing, Callisto Arcadia.

Watch the trigger.

Where the hell is she?

Look, do not hit me again. I don't know
where she is, I swear. I swear. Look,

we just supplied cameras to the
guys who grabbed her, that's all.

Wait, wait, think about it.

Why would I put myself in a
position to get caught and...

Okay.

You have about 20
seconds to decide how you want

to live the rest of
your pathetic little life.

Once the cops get here, we can't help you.

If you take us to Cali, you can walk free.

Fifteen seconds left. It means it.

That's it.

That's the place. Now let me go.

Not until we have Callie.

Why should I trust you?

You know you probably shouldn't.

What's so funny?

It's the end of the game, people.
What the hell are you talking about?

I have three men positioned in that tower.

At this very second,
their high-powered weapons

are pointed directly at
your pretty little head. No.

Ray! Ray!

Actually, I've just been informed that the

studio audience voted that plot twist out.

This is insane.

Okay, okay, stop!

This is what's going to happen.

You're going to go inside
that house with Rodolfo.

And if Rodolfo's not going to be
Rodolfo, he's going to be your boss.

Understand?

What are you looking at?

Get that thing out of my face.

Okay, it's my turn. Why?

You've had the thing for the
last half hour, that's why.

Well, who got the training on it
anyway? You mean how to hold it?

Hey, guys, I have to go to the bathroom.

Oh, no. No way. We're not
going through that again.

Why are these gentlemen not wired up?

Uh, yeah, I'm sorry.

I didn't know you...
You're the guy on the show.

Yeah, that's right.

I'm the producer, and he's
the... I'm the director.

I am the man who makes dreams come true.

And may I say, what a marvelous
job you've been doing. Marvelous.

And you, you, where did
you get the idea of tilting

from the ceiling and
swooshing down upon the lady? What?

I don't know, I just thought that it
would, you know... It's called a jelly roll.

Did you know that? Jelly
roll? Yes, certainly it is.

Yes, you, you, I want you
to make sure that this fine,

fine lad works on every documentary
we do from now on. Is that clear?

I helped with the jelly roll. Did you?

Did you really? Lovely.

Right, gentlemen, if you
could do something for me.

I was wondering if you could just,
just stand there. That's beautiful, yes,

just stand there, yes,
lovely. Lovely profiles, yes, yes.

And on second thoughts, stand round.

You are fired.

That is showbiz.

Look, everything turned
out all right, didn't it?

You guys get your money.

Everyone's happy, all right?

Take off your clothes.

My clothes?

Okay, hold on. Okay. Now!

Come on, we don't have all day!

What are you guys gonna do to me?

Get in the airlock.

I'll shoot you dead, I swear!

Get in the airlock. Okay, okay.

I hope you enjoy.

It's fun to watch, right?

I'm sorry! I'm sorry.

I forgot.

It was Matilda. The production team.

They blamed me on it.

I've always been a firm believer
in getting your money's worth,

and I'm sure you'll agree, all
in all, it's pretty realistic.

Hey, hey, what the hell
do you think you're doing?

We're shutting you down.

You can't do that. Excuse me.

Hey, uh, Rodolfo, I... I just wanted
to say that I... Oh, that's okay, son.

You don't need to say anything.

Attention, all hands. The
credits have been deposited

into the accounts minus the ship payments.

The producers of the third thing
are willing to drop criminal charges

against you if you promise not to press
charges against them. Could have been worse.

Yeah, it could have been a series.

Actually, it used to be
one of my favourites.

Rodolfo and I have whiled away
many an evening in Matilda's company.

You knew?

I didn't believe it.

Thanks, Carl.

Obviously, I knew.

I just didn't expect it to
turn out like that, did I?

Turn out like what?

Nothing.

Done.

Handled.

Bye.

It's all right.

Percy? Marcus?

It was fine, Travis.

Yeah, yeah, it was, uh, it was good.
Good? So what, did you get a tape for me?

Did you?

You didn't miss much.

On the next Star Hunter...

And that means you have 20
hours to come up with a ransom.

I can't get that much
money, not in 20 hours.

All right, just to scratch me.

Dad?

Serena!

You set me up! I swear I didn't!

You don't knock?

Not when I know the
answer's gonna be bug off and die.
