Original subtitles

You look well.

Thank you, Car. I feel well. Relaxed, chilled out.

You can't beat a nice hot bath after a long, hard day.

A nice hot bath is almost as good as a... Well, it's pretty good, trust me.

So, where's Percy?

There's no hot water. In fact, there's no water at all, Car.

It went off at 20 hundred hours.

I have scheduled a weekly reorganization of the

supply and the disinfection of the lines.

I'm quite aware of the weekly schedule, thanks, Car.

I thought I told you I was having problems with the exchanger maintenance.

Indeed you did.

I knew that.

So?

I'm afraid I don't follow.

That's because you're a man, Car.

Well, sort of.

I still don't follow you.

Well, obviously you were supposed to read her mind.

Oh, I do apologize, but I can assure you that if you had asked,

I would have delayed the maintenance.

I shouldn't have to ask.

Well, that would seem to be the most logical approach.

That's because you're a man.

There are too many women on the design team that made you, huh, Carl?

None, so far as I'm aware.

I'm designed to display, as best I can, male characteristics.

I simply analyze the data and respond accordingly.

How would you respond to a little deactivation?

I do hope that's a hypothetical question.

That wouldn't count, would it, Carl?

Better hope she doesn't deactivate you, Martha.

Oh, no?

It wouldn't be hard.

To deactivate you, just give me a sharp knife.

A very small, sharp knife.

Actually, it wouldn't have to be all that sharp.

So you're saying the car's at fault for being logical?

Thoughtless. I think the word you're looking for is thoughtless.

Where have I heard that before?

In your case, everywhere.

Have you been talking to my ex-wives?

And I suppose we'd be better off with a female AI?

Or one that had been designed by a woman.

You think?

Why not?

Yeah, why not, Colin?

It was felt that emotions might bring unnecessary

complications to my deductive processes.

Oh, yeah, I can imagine that being a big problem, Carr. I mean,

imagine all that female fragility with no male ego.

Whatever will we do?

I don't claim perfection.

Oh, I can smell that female replacement coming.

You sure that's not something you ate?

Careful, I don't eat you.

Scanners are picking up an approaching object.

The base of action, Carr.

I'm afraid it might be too late.

Everyone okay? What have we got, car?

I... I'm not sure.

I'm having trouble accessing some of my functions.

I'm gonna take a look.

Talk to me, Percy.

Thrusters have been knocked way out of line.

Tell me something I don't know.

I'm tearing them out.

Completely.

Uh, Percy?

Yes, Marcus?

I'm getting a bad reading on the core loading, so now would be good, yeah?

Are you saying I should stop working as slowly as possible? No, no, no,

of course not, no. No, you take your time log whenever you're ready.

That'll help.

Do we know what that was yet, Ka?

Still checking.

Any other ships in the sector?

I can't find any.

Is that a no, Ka?

I can't find any.

Shepard Control, this is Transutopian calling. Are you receiving? I repeat,

Shepard Control, this is Transutopian calling. Are you receiving?

Kara, are we transmitting?

Are we receiving signals?

I'm afraid I don't know.

I'm picking up short-range infrared signals, but nothing beyond that.

Well, they haven't stopped sending the bloody things.

No. Okay, we've got severe damage to the exterior hull adjacent to Sector 12A.

Kara, has the integrity been breached?

I'm afraid I can't tell at the moment, Marcus.

You may have to do a manual check. Have the instruments

been damaged down there, or what?

I don't know. I think it might be me.

Did you see that thing?

Briefly.

What do you think?

Contact mine. Flash or wave detonation.

By the state we're in, I'd say it was pretty well

armed. Probably thorium, maybe ultranezium.

Are we still armed?

Well, I wouldn't want to run into a raider ship

in the next five minutes. I'll let you know.

How's it looking, Marcus?

Well, it reads okay, which is strange from what I saw.

I'm going to run an instrument bypass just to be certain,

and in the meantime, I'll seal it up anyway.

Okay, then make your way back.

Yeah, sure, will do.

Everything all right?

I got a bloody thing out of this.

What can you tell me, Tom?

So what's new?

I'm afraid I'm struggling. We have major problems.

But my autonomic functions would appear to be nominal.

Bottom line?

We can maintain basic systems, life support, ship's

integrity, but beyond that, I cannot say.

Rodolfo, any improvement?

Not long when he comes.

We still sealed up tight, Marcus?

Yeah, but we're going to have to put in for repairs again.

How long till Ring Shepherd?

Two and a half, maybe three days, if the mains don't get any worse.

The vectors are totally out of whack.

So is the targeting system.

What's the damage?

It's too soon to say. I'm running a diagnostic now.

We'd better find out where that thing came from or what it was doing out there.

Marcus, let's get the Beatles out and check for fragments.

Cut. Can you tell me anything about this mine? I mean,

did you detect anything at all?

I'm sorry, sir.

I did not. Why not, Kara? That's what you're supposed to do.

That's true, but I was rather distracted.

Not good enough, Kara.

Come on, Percy, you were arguing with him. What are you saying? It's my fault?

Look, the point is you've got to get him fixed up and back online.

Oh, and Percy?

Yeah?

Try not to take all day.

Don't make me deactivate it.

Travis, we have a problem with the imagers.

What is it?

Looks like we can launch, but we can't target anything.

So what, we can't defend ourselves? Nope.

Terrific.

Carr?

Carr?

Come on, Carr!

Percy?

Took your time, didn't you?

No.

Uh-huh.

You're a bit of a mess.

I'm not quite myself, I agree.

I hope you do not blame me for what happened.

No, I don't blame you.

It's just that you're mad.

If you had asked me to delay the scheduled defence, I would have done so.

But you're supposed to be able to admit when you're wrong.

You're going to have to do better.

Percy, I don't think there's any...

You think we can find out where it came from?

If they bring back radiation signatures and fold-back levels.

There's no reason why they shouldn't.

Rudolfo, do you remember anything about Terran weapons devices?

Yeah, a little.

If it came from this solar system, we'll figure it out.

Better get to it, then.

Percy, how are you getting on?

Percy?

If I'm going to do a realignment on you,

it makes perfect sense that I would have your substitute

have some of the attributes that you're lacking.

Some emotion, some ability to foresee unseeable parameters,

a little bit of intuition, and the ability to admit when you've made mistakes.

I feel bad.

Why do I feel bad? I should not feel bad.

Car, you know I love you, but lately you suck,

and I'd be just wasting an opportunity if I didn't entertain

myself while coming up with this brilliant thing,

because really, I have a very boring life.

This would be so much quicker with car.

Thanks, Marcus.

That was helpful.

Yeah, well, I'm just wondering what the hell Percy's up to.

Wonder quietly.

Geronium alloy with traces of malachite and alcinium.

Military.

Definitely.

And no parent.

No.

Marcus, you got those readouts yet?

Yeah.

Thanks.

Okay.

Signature?

Yeah.

Delta wave trigger matrix shells, that's old Marsh breath blobs. You sure?

I'd know it anywhere.

You can call in the rest of the Beatles. Yeah.

Okay, now, repeat after me.

I will not take any crap.

I will not take any crap.

Again, I will not take any crap. I will not take any crap.

I really should.

So how long is it going to be out there?

Could be six weeks, could be six years. It's

a classic design, though. It's still current.

So why would they leave it? Could be left over from the battle.

I have no idea how much those things cost. Besides, we're miles from Mars-fed space.

Hi, guys.

Hi, Chrissie.

You finished with Car?

Done with Car.

Done with Car.

Great.

Welcome back, Car.

Car can't hear you.

Catherine can, though.

Who?

Katherine.

Isn't she fun?

Different.

I don't believe it.

I hope you're not disappointed.

Oh, no, no, no, just a little shocked. Definitely, definitely not disappointed.

That's okay, then.

Shrewd move, Percy.

Thank you.

You're kidding, right? Nope.

I hope you don't feel threatened.

Excuse me?

I'm here to help.

Travis?

Where is Carl?

Car needed a break. Is that a problem?

No, no, no. No problem.

I just want to make sure that Catherine here is capable of taking care of us.

I can assure you, sir, you will have no complaints.

That'll make a change.

So, is it Kate?

Certainly.

I very much appreciate your support.

Among many other things, I'm detecting a problem with the weapon image system.

Yeah.

Have you tried reinstalling the gyro matrix and following

up with a manual alignment of the outer optics?

I could try it for you. No, no.

I've got it.

Very impressive.

Thank you, sir.

You make me feel most welcome.

How can any woman be too beautiful? I'm just saying that with Caravaggio,

there was never a distraction. Distraction? She's no more real than Carl was.

She ain't gonna ask one of us to jump into bed with her, is she?

No.

But there's no harm in dreaming, eh?

Now, Marcus, you need to get out more.

Travis, can I come in?

Yeah, sure.

Are you sure this is a good idea?

Why, what's the problem?

You saw Marcus.

Oh, come on, what do you expect?

Well, that's my point.

This Kate is going to be a distraction.

You know, if I didn't know you any better, I'd say you were jealous.

I am not jealous of her.

I don't know, I think you are.

Finished?

Look, it'll keep Percy quiet, and that's a good enough reason for anything.

Yeah, you got a good point there.

So, how do we know what she's programmed into this cape anyway?

What do you mean?

You know, Percy.

Did you try to fix the case suggested on the weapon system?

Yeah.

And?

Well, it wasn't as straightforward as all of that. I mean,

there were one or two complications.

I had to recalibrate... There were?

Yeah. See, I knew you were jealous.

Oh, man.

Callie.

Yes?

Can I let you into a little secret?

What?

She's not real.

Doesn't she, Greg?

And nearly as cute as me.

How do we know that she's as capable as Caravaggio?

Because I made her.

Confident.

If she doesn't work out, we'll bring back the old fart.

Hello.

What's happening, Kate?

I'm not quite sure, sir.

It seems we've suffered a sudden power drop-off.

All life support systems have failed. What?

How's that possible? The explosion must have sent a power surge

through the primary and secondary generator couplings.

All backup systems have failed as well.

There's another problem. That mine was an XK-47. Once it locks onto a target,

it sends data back to Special Ops before detonation.

But Mars Ops didn't put it here.

No, but someone did, and they know we're here.

Kate, can we fix the life support systems?

I'm afraid not, sir. We will need to acquire new parts at the very least.

How long to Ring Shepherd?

At least two days.

Well, we don't have that long.

I've sealed off all the other zones.

The temperature's dropped six degrees in the last 30 minutes.

We're going to freeze to death.

No, we're not.

We're going to suffocate first.

I reckon there's enough air for about 12, 14 hours, if we take it easy.

Great.

Think.

What about the emergency packs?

Okay, we have a couple of hours each,

plus there's two hours of pure oxygen in the infirmary.

You'd have to share a tube with Rodolfo over there. Not even if I'm desperate.

Is there anything I can do to assist you?

No, I don't think so.

I wouldn't want you to think I'm not here to help you, too, Callie. Now,

why would I think that? Why, indeed.

Uh, Kate, is there anything on the scanners?

No. Oh, good.

Wouldn't want to be blown to pieces on the day I die.

Nice face, but no sense of humor.

Yeah, have you ever wondered why this is just happening now?

What do you mean?

You think? Yeah, well, think about it. Your power suddenly drops off,

backup system's failing, even though they check out.

I don't understand this at all, Kate.

This is the second time I've checked the backup systems, and they're really normal.

I agree. It is highly unusual.

It's more than unusual.

Perhaps you should check the matrix shielding.

May I ask, how long have Travis and Callie been together? They're not together.

She seems rather possessive toward him.

I wonder if this might not be healthy in the confines of a ship.

There's really nothing healthy about this ship.

Don't you think she'd concentrate on the fact that we're dying?

I'm very worried about Callie.

Oh, yeah?

Why?

She's extremely hostile.

There's so much anger there. A lot of issues needing to be resolved.

Yeah, well, I don't think that's any of your mindset.

Especially right now.

She's not the woman for you.

Kate, Callie is a very valuable member of my crew.

That's all you need to know.

Kate, what am I looking at here?

Those are the output grids.

I don't believe they're the problem.

So what is the bloody problem?

There's no need to be short with me.

The induction coil stabilizers have fused.

Do we need to fix them?

I'm afraid they need to be replaced.

Well, we don't have time to wait for replacements.

Where are you going?

I'll go with you.

For a walk.

No, I want you to stay here and help Rodolfo.

He's got plenty to keep you occupied.

Travis...

I really would do anything to save you.

Well, I'm pleased to hear it.

Upward offer.

Keep scanning for any ships.

Kite, take me through this again.

Percy, how's it going?

Not so good.

Nothing at all?

Life support should be working, emergencies are all green,

everything's failing anyway.

Why is that?

I don't know.

Could be anything.

Percy, uh, anything you want to share with me?

Share with you?

Yeah, I mean, anything different?

Look...

Doesn't it strike you as unusual what's going on?

Why is this Kate more interested in me and Callie than saving the chiller?

It might be my fault again.

Nobody's saying that.

But that hit we took probably screwed her up.

Look, no one's blaming you, Percy.

Just tell me this. Can we get our old friend back online?

I've tried.

And?

And he's been sabotaged.

How long will it take?

Days, if we had the parts.

Travis, scanners are detecting two ships approaching at full speed,

on direct intercept with the Tulip. Both are heavily armed.

Sorry, Travis.

Okay, do we have short-range cars?

Yes, sir.

Cool, my Rodolfo.

Transmute typing and calling. Identify yourselves. I repeat, identify yourselves.

What have we got, Kate?

The Jordan. Neptune-registered gunship. And the Grafton.

Pluto-registered police vessel.

Police? Come on. Well, at least we know where

those mines came from. And there we are.

Right for the picket.

So what are they? Shipjackers. If they can't take the ship, they'll strip it bare.

Pirates.

No kidding.

Okay.

How many men on that ship?

Kate?

Well, scan it.

I don't know.

I can't.

My programming does not extend to technologies distinct from the Tulip.

I didn't have time for the deluxe version. Just as well.

Well, anyone think they're coming to wish us all a speedy recovery?

Are we all ready?

Weapons online?

Weapons online. They're online.

Fire on three.

One.

Two.

Three.

Take us up.

Take us up!

Don't worry, Travis. I have an idea.

Kate, on this bridge, you take orders from me. Is that clear?

Of course. Travis, she's taking control of weapons from me.

She has the flight controls.

Take us up!

Kate, what are you doing?

Travis!

Evasive action!

Kate, take evasive action!

I do apologize, Travis.

It just came out of me.

A sort of... a sort of intuition, you might say.

Fine.

Fire at will.

I'm afraid our weapons are exhausted.

I suggest we get told out.

Kate?

Who told you you could lock my console out?

I didn't realize I needed anyone other than Travis's permission.

I didn't mean you to take me that, literally.

Wasn't it spectacular, Travis?

So thrilling.

That's it, I've had it. I've had it.

You obviously do not understand that this is my ship. Ah!

Your ship?

How dare you say this is your ship?

It's our ship.

Mine and Travis's.

Isn't that right, Travis?

And after I restore life support and get rid of that robot for good.

Listen, I need your help.

We need your help.

You're right.

Let's talk it through.

In private.

Kate, we're under attack.

Look behind you. Please, Travis.

Just one minute.

I'd like you all to leave Travis and I alone for just one minute.

It's very important.

Okay.

Can you believe that?

What's that? She's sucking the oxygen out!

Travis, CO2! Hey, what the hell is going on? Open the doors, Travis!

We don't need them.

She's okay.

She's okay.

Oh, great, yeah, just great. Just shake that out again. As usual. Good timing.

Okay, we need to get her to the infirmary. She needs to reach oxygen.

Come on, Baskin.

It really is Percy's ship, Kate.

I don't want to talk about Percy.

He used to belong to my father.

Really?

I would love to meet him.

So would I. I love you. Kate, Kate, Kate, Kate.

I'm a human.

I'm a human being, and you're well... Don't say it.

Don't ever say it.

I know what you're thinking.

How can she love me?

But I do.

I'm going to make you very happy.

No company!

Now, let's go.

See these guys, Kate?

These are the guys who are going to be running

the tulip if you don't let me out of here.

I need to help my friends.

I can't let you go.

But that's what love is, Kate.

It's about letting go.

But how do I know you'll come back?

That's the whole point.

You don't.

Kate.

Thank you.

How about restoring that life support?

I'm helping you, not your friends.

Do what you have to do quickly.

And come back here.

Okay, Percy, here we are.

Come on!

Come on, breathe!

Is she okay?

Breathe, Percy.

Leave me without saying goodbye.

What a nightmare. It's the last time I say a bad word against Caravaggio.

Yeah.

Look, I'm gonna go check on Travis. You guys all right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Careful.

I know you'd come back.

I said I would.

Here.

Feel my heartbeat.

What's the matter?

Why did you take your hand away?

What is that?

I know what you're doing.

If I don't put this in, I'm gonna die, and so are my friends.

Human beings need oxygen, Kate.

It's one of the few things that sets you and me apart.

Just because I don't need air to breathe doesn't mean I don't feel.

The love I feel is as real as any human beings.

You've no idea what it's like to be trapped someplace with no hope of escape.

Haven't I?

Then love me back.

You can't force someone to love you, Kate.

Would you rather die than love me?

Would you?

Travis?

Travis!

Your precious friends.

Travis!

Let's see what they think.

What's the matter?

Why can't I stop it?

It's from the pirate ship.

Outside your frame of reference. A bit like love, really.

Oh, something I forgot to mention about love

is sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.

Well, if I didn't know any better, I swear you'd broke her heart.

So that's what it must be like to fall asleep.

I had the most wonderful dream. Only I can't tell you, but, well, I fell in love.

Well, at least I think I did.

The dream is fading.

How odd.

Be thankful it was only a dream, Kerr.

Love just crosses the spirit and drains the bank account.

Oh, well, that's just as well, then.

What was my replacement like?

Shocking.

Uh, plane.

Yeah, plane ugly.

Oh, that's a relief.

Almost eight o'clock, Percy.

Oh, yeah.

Shall I run you a bath?

No, thanks. That's okay, Carve.

Not again.

On the next Star Hunter.

Like I said, eat your grub.

Did I mention the bloody great big asteroid that's coming right at us?

I'm glad Seattle could be of service. Captain Christopher Judson.

If you think this Judson fellow's so great, why don't you go and ask him for a job?

He already offered me one.

Something is not...
