All language subtitles for DMS213

You go back and retake the
throne, you inherit a war.

A war that I can win
with the blink drive.

But we'll never let that happen.

We'll see about that.

Your brother is dead.

He cut his throat
with this knife.

Do you recognize it?

I renounce the throne

and step down in favor of
zairon's rightful ruler.

Four!

My name is not four.

I am ishida ryo.

Emperor of zairon.

The diplomatic summit on
eos 7 is in two weeks.

It's going to be tense.
What do we know?

Traugott is gonna put
forward a resolution

to introduce three new
members to the council.

Ferrous will naturally oppose.

Of course.

If the resolution is defeated,

well, we believe traugott
will have no choice

but to accept the results.

However, if it passes,

we believe ferrous will
disavow the results

and pull their support
from the council.

In other words, they're
prepared to go to war.

We have recently
discovered that traugott

is trying to make secret deals

with both vanguard
and volkov-rusi.

Now if they succeed, they'll
have all the votes they need.

In which case,

our best course of action
would be to abstain.

Try to maintain a
position of neutrality

for as long as possible.

And how long would that be?

Well, once open
hostilities break out,

not more than a couple of weeks.

But that might be just enough
time to make the difference.

Commander.

What's going on?

An unidentified ship

has breached our
defensive perimeter.

We have to get both of you
to a secure location.

Wait.

You can stand down.

They're not here to attack us.

How do you know?

They're old friends.

Well, you certainly have a
flair for the dramatic.

You're lucky my people didn't
blast you outta the sky.

You think so?

We're here to talk about eos 7.

Are we? What about it?

It's all over the news.

Diplomatic summit.

Bigwigs from all
the corporations.

You gonna be there?

I will be a member of the
mikkei delegation, yes.

Eos 7 is a pretty
remote location.

I have to assume
that's deliberate.

Let me explain something to you.

The council of corporations

has not held a face-to-face
meeting in over ten years.

Do you care to guess why?

You don't trust each other.

You're not as dumb as you look.

Which leads me to wonder what
could possibly make you think

that I would divulge
security measures

about a rather historic meeting
to a group of wanted criminals.

You're gonna want our help,

because there's a
significant probability

that the summit on eos 7
will come under attack.

The most likely scenario
involves some kind of bomb.

That station will be destroyed.

Everyone on board
will be killed,

and the result will be
all-out corporate war.

And how do you know this?

Nyx, this is the bridge.

Go ahead.

I have an incoming subspace
transmission for you.

It's from zairon.

Patch it through to my room.

Nyx.

It's good to see you again.

I don't think I
can say the same.

I wanted to apologize.

The circumstances the last
time we saw each other

were not ideal.

You mean that bloodbath
at the royal court?

Where you murdered
all those people?

My brother and stepmother had
to die to prevent civil war.

Their deaths saved the
lives of millions,

and I doubt you shed a
tear for the seers.

You're as much responsible

for what happened to
Milo as they were.

They would have forced him to
help them achieve their goals,

and he didn't want to
be a part of that.

You can try to justify
it all you want,

but I'll never forgive you.

That would be the easy way out,

to hide behind anger
and bitterness

so that you never have
to face the truth.

But you're stronger than that.

And that's the type of
strength I need by my side.

What're you talking about?

My feelings for you
haven't changed, nyx.

You're insane.

What type of future is there
for you on that ship?

The others will never
fully accept you;

You don't belong with them.

I want you here with me

as my empress.

Well, that's quite a story.

A ship filled with people
who can predict the future.

An alternate reality.

You certainly have
interesting sources.

It's all true.

Tell me a little bit more
about this blink drive.

You can't have it.

Thank you for your time,

and I will take this
information under advisement.

You think this is a joke?

You know we have the drive.
You've seen it work,

and I assume you understand
how powerful it is.

We could be off getting fat

and rich right now robbing
this galaxy blind.

That was my vote.

But instead we came here.

Why do you think that is?

That's what I'm
trying to figure out.

We have nothing to gain
and everything to lose,

so you might want to start
considering the possibility

that we're telling
you the truth.

The ga is handling the security.

I'm sure they are
perfectly capable.

No, they're not. They'll
make a mistake,

and everyone on that
station will die.

Look at this from
my point of view.

This is not exactly
the kind of story

I can take to the board.

So? Keep it between us.

And if I bring you in on
this without authorization,

well, I'll be risking my career.

You get on that
station without us,

you risk losing a whole hell
of a lot more than that.

Tell me everything's fine...
that there's no risk

of a corporate war, and
we'll get back on our ship,

go on our merry way,

and you'll never have
to see us again.

All right.

There may be a level of
tension within the council

that goes beyond what
the public is aware.

And yes,

if this blink drive works
the way you say it does

you may well be in a
unique position to help.

Eos 7 wasn't chosen by accident.

It is one of the most secure
facilities in the galaxy.

It is surrounded
by a vast network

of satellites at a distance

of approximately
seven light minutes.

Now, working in concert, these
satellites can generate

what's called an aslanov
exclusion field,

which, for those of you
who might not be aware...

Can disrupt an ftl window?

That's right.

Hmm.

So any ship trying to pass
through the field will drop out?

Still hours away
from the station

at sub-light speeds, which
would give the ga ships

that are cruising the
perimeter of the field

plenty of time to react.

Once the delegates have arrived
the field will be activated,

and no one will be
allowed in or out

for the duration
of the conference.

Except, with the blink drive,
we could pass right through it,

and no one would ever notice.

And with all of their
resources at the perimeter,

they'll never know you're there.

If we're gonna find that
bomb we're gonna need access

to all internal systems.
Sensors, camera feeds,

everything they have.

That won't be that easy.

Like I said, it
is a ga facility.

Well, if you can get one
of us on the inside,

we can tap in directly,
like we did on balda 9.

I suppose I could forge mikkei
credentials for one of you.

I'll go.

Well, it's either
me or the android,

and personally I'd
rather have her here

in case anything goes wrong.

No offense, sweetheart,

but you're not exactly
the corporate type.

You sure about this?

I can handle it. I'm not a kid.

I know,

but you can't blame me for
being a little worried.

You're volunteering to
go on board a station

that has a good
chance of blowing up.

Well, that's the whole
point isn't it?

We've gotta find the bomb
and stop it from going off.

I know, but...

What?

Milo said the seers
predicted corporate war

within six months, right?

And in the alternate reality,

the war started with
the bombing on eos 7,

but how do we know
in this reality

it doesn't start some other way?

How do we know it's
not inevitable?

Well, I guess we don't.

Exactly.

Which means you could be
risking your life for nothing.

It's not nothing.

Look, Milo also told me that

there are moments in history
when things become more fluid.

Patterns change, and
in those moments

the actions of even
a single person

can make a huge difference.

If there is even a chance
that we could stop a war

from happening, we have to try.

I guess you're right.

Of course I am. As usual.

Anyway, you'll be right
outside the station

waiting to get me out of there
if anything goes wrong.

I'll be fine.

Okay, people, I don't
need to tell you

how important this
assignment is.

In less than two weeks,
delegates from every

major corporation in the
galaxy will be arriving here,

and it will be our
job to protect them

from outside threats,

and maybe more importantly,
from each other.

Now, I want you to meet the man

who'll be in charge
of this operation.

He's straight from hq
on special assignment.

Chief inspector kierken.

All right, men. You all
know your assignments.

Let's get to work.

Are you almost ready?

Getting there.

Don't forget your comm.

I've got it,

but I'm not gonna use it
unless I have no choice.

If they detect the
signal, we're screwed.

Are you sure this
is a good idea?

I've been through this with six.

I can handle it.

I don't doubt your ability
to perform the task at hand,

however...

What?

The more I explore
the parameters

of my empathy emulators,

the more I realize there
can be a negative effect,

and not just because I no longer
perform at 100% efficiency.

I'm worried.

If anything goes wrong,
there's a plan to get me out.

Truffault supplied
us with disguises,

plans to the station...

Everything's gonna be fine.

I also feel guilty at allowing
someone to take a risk

that I myself could assume.

Every day on this
ship is a risk.

You'll get another chance

to put yourself on the
line soon enough.

I suppose I just
never realized that

emotions could have
such a downside.

Well, welcome to the human race.

'Kay. I'm ready.

So what do you think?

Wow.

Mikkei delegation has arrived.

That's everybody.

All right.

Signal the fleet.
Activate the field.

From this moment on
no one in or out.

We're in position.

Any sign they've detected us?

Negative.

All right.

Now we just wait for five.

In the meantime,

I've been going over some of
the news footage recorded

when we were in the
alternate reality.

I think I may have found
something interesting.

Hello. Hi.

Hello. Good to see you again.

If you're gonna pretend to
be a member of my team,

act the part. Stand up straight.

Look people in the eye.

Anyway, you are the least
famous member of your crew.

No one's gonna recognize you.

Commander truffault.

Commander nieman.

We meet again.

Yes, we do.

This is my assistant, Cassandra.

We need to talk.

Now.

Well, how about a drink then?

Sorry about that.
Normally he's...

A really nice guy?

No. No, not really.

Um... I'm arrian.

I'm with the ferrous delegation.

Yeah, I got that.

Do you wanna grab a drink?

Uh, no thanks. There's
something I have to do.

Excuse me.

You got something?

She's in.

We've got internal sensors
and security cameras.

Are they scanning for tarium?

Only in the docking bays.

Why tarium?

We found evidence in
the alternate reality.

A single report that
suggested the bomb

may have been some
kind of tarium device.

That doesn't make any sense.

I've been around spaceports
long enough to know

that they always scan for it
wherever ships are docking.

Correct.

It's a precaution against
malfunctioning drives.

Well, if it is a tarium bomb,

how the hell would
they get it in?

Unknown.

Nice to meet you.

Hey.

You're back.

What'd I miss?

Lotta small talk.

Everyone's still waiting
for the new delegation

from the league of
autonomous worlds

to make an appearance.

What do you mean the
new delegation?

Apparently there was a
last-minute change.

Where are they from?

Zairon.

Something wrong?

No. No, everything's fine.

They're carrying weapons.

Daggers.

They're supposedly ceremonial,
so they get to keep them.

I mean, what are they gonna do?

Slit everyone's throats?

Um...

Are you sure you're okay?

Yeah, of course. U-um...

I'll see you later.

There she goes again.

The man's a wanted criminal,
and they expect us

to treat him like a dignitary.

He's got diplomatic immunity.

For now.

What the hell happened?
How'd he get on board?

Apparently he's an
official representative

from the league of
autonomous worlds.

If he spots five, he's
gonna rat her out.

We don't know that for sure.

No, we have to get
her outta there.

She's got her comm.

If she thinks she's in trouble

she'll let us know.

The emperor would like
to speak with you.

Uh... sorry. I'm a
little busy right now.

I'm afraid I'm going
to have to insist.

What's in your hand?

Nothing.

Hey!

A communication device.

She's a spy.

I'm not a spy.

I-I-I'm a member of the
mikkei delegation.

Now let me go.

Is there a problem here?

You looked upset, so I
thought I'd check on you.

She's fine.

Now, unless you want a
diplomatic incident

on your hands,

I suggest you go on your way.

You're hurt.

No, I'm all right.

Don't be stupid. Let me see.

Oh my god.

You're an android.

I've found something.

It's one of the
secondary docking bays.

Someone has tampered
with the camera feed.

It's on a loop.

How can you tell?

It's imperceptible
to the human eye,

but the shadows cast
by the starlight

reset every ten minutes.

Whose shuttle is that?

Ferrous corp.

That's their way off the station
without being detected.

We were right.

It's also our way in.

Suit up.

That'll hold 'em for a while.

Let's take a look.

Your nanites will have it
closed up pretty soon,

but... in the meantime, you'd
better stay out of sight.

Are you gonna turn me in?

No.

Why not?

You're running an illegal
software upgrade.

It's the only way

you could've gotten on board
without anybody noticing.

Nieman gave it to me.

Why?

He said he wanted protection.

A bodyguard.

W-well, if they find
out, they won't just

kick you out of the conference.

They'll have you destroyed.

Besides...

I owe you one.

I don't understand.
You're with mikkei.

You could use this information
to your advantage.

Yeah, I'm not surprised
you would think that.

All I can tell you is we're
not all like nieman.

Good luck.

Well, don't you three
look very corporate?

This is ridiculous.
I look ridiculous.

You look fine.

I didn't even wanna do

this stupid job in
the first place.

Look, when we're
done, I promise you

we'll pull a heist, okay?

Seriously? Yeah.

You can even choose the target.
Bank job, jewels, whatever.

But first we save the galaxy.

Got it? Fine.

You've got the bridge.

Hopefully we're in and out
without anyone noticing,

but if things go sideways, we
might need a show of force.

We'll be ready.

All right. Take these.

The android calibrated
them to detect any trace

of tarium radiation.

There's no way we can
search this whole station.

Yeah. Stick to the upper levels.

If someone managed to
get a bomb on board

there's no way they'd
risk getting caught

by trying to sneak it
into a restricted area.

My guess is it's probably
in somebody's quarters.

If you get within ten meters
of a source, you'll know it.

The chair recognizes
commander nieman.

Representing ferrous
corporation.

Commander.

Mr. chairman, distinguished
members of the council,

let me get straight
to the point.

These are difficult times.

I think on that,
we can all agree,

and while change may
sometimes be necessary,

and is indeed inevitable,

difficult times
require stability.

Now is not the time
to make alterations

to the council by
introducing new members.

This is time for very careful
consideration of our actions

and the consequences
of those actions.

That is why I must vote
against the proposed changes

brought forward by my...
Distinguished colleague

from traugott corporation,

and why I urge all of you

to do the same.

Thank you, commander.

As there are no
other submissions,

we will now put the
proposal to a vote.

We have the results, and
they are as follows.

Seven votes for, five against,

and one abstention.

The resolution passes.

Commander, do you have
something more to say?

No, Mr. chairman, I'd simply
like to request a recess.

I find these...

proceedings to be
quite exhausting.

Granted.

Council is adjourned
for one hour.

Hi.

How's it going?

I was wondering when I
would see you again.

We need to talk.

'Scuse me.

Going somewhere?

I've been waiting for
this moment a long time,

lieutenant kal varrick.

These diplomats...

All they do is talk.

And I thought Boone
could be tiresome.

I'm good.

Why are you here, portia?

I'm sorry... two.

You're in danger.

Aren't we all?

You know in the
alternate reality

it was the destruction of
eos 7 that started the war.

And you think the same
thing will happen here.

We think ferrous smuggled
a bomb on board.

Three and six are
searching for it now.

I also studied the
events as they unfolded

in the alternate reality.

When the war broke out,

the corporations' backing
zairon's enemies

had to pull their resources.

It was the turning point that
saved the house of ishida.

Are you telling me you
want the war to happen?

My people are already at war.

Thousands have died.

Millions more will follow.

You can help me.

What're you talking about?

The blink drive.

Let my scientists study it.

I'll give you safe
harbor on zairon

until we can replicate it.

It's far too powerful to
give to any military force.

Every major corporation

is pursuing their
own version of it.

Whoever gets there first
will have an advantage.

You can choose who that is.

That's a little bit too
much responsibility.

In the right hands,

it could save millions.

In the wrong hands, it
could enslave millions.

I'm sorry, ryo.

I can't help you.

I can have you arrested.

I know.

Ah! Ah...

Three? What the hell?!

I didn't want you to scream.

Sort of like you just did?

That wasn't a scream.

It was a manly cry of pain.

I was just about to contact you.

Four is here.

Yeah, we know. Has
he spotted you?

Yeah, he definitely
knows we're here.

Ah, man, this is gonna
complicate things.

Okay, listen.

The android thinks the
bomb is tarium-based.

She sent us in with
these detectors.

Let me see.

We've been sweeping the
upper levels, but nothing.

Wait a minute. How did
you get on board?

The marauder.

Ferrous rigged one
of the docking bays

so they could leave
without anyone noticing.

It's definitely them.

Ferrous just lost a big vote,

and then they called
for a recess.

Oh shit.

We're outta time.

I'm calling the others.

Wait, not yet.

Go to the marauder,
prep for launch.

Give me ten minutes.

Five.

I think I might know
where the bomb is.

This is a great honor.

Inside.

This space station is in danger.

I have no doubt.

Who else is here with you?

Boone, lin?

We're not the problem.
It's ferrous corp.

They brought a bomb on board.

Now, I-i don't know how they
got it past your scans,

but you have to believe me.

No.

I don't.

Hey, buddy.

You look a little
overdressed for a mechanic.

Just heading back to my shuttle.

You know what?

I'll take the long way around.

Mr. Boone.

Great.

It's been a while since
you double-crossed us

in that mining colony.

Now, what brings you
all the way out here?

We know about your plot
to bomb the station...

and we're gonna stop you.

That's unlikely.

I'm telling you,
it's ferrous corp.

They want to start a war.

By blowing up their
own delegation?

By the time goes off
they'll be long gone.

They've got a way off the
station without being detected.

And so what do you
expect me to do?

Arrest them based on your word?

At least bring them
in for questioning.

Ferrous corp. Are
respected members

of this council.

Law-abiding citizens. Leaders.

Pillars of the community.

Exactly.

You, on the other hand,

are a traitor who turned
his back on his own

to help a bunch of
criminals escape justice.

They were gonna be murdered
before they ever got to trial.

That's not justice.

What does ishida have planned?

Ishida?

He's got nothing
to do with this.

So it's just a coincidence
that the two of you

are here together
at the same time?

I didn't even know he
was going to be here.

You work together.

Not anymore.

It can't be him, because
unlike ferrous corp.,

he doesn't have a way of
getting off the station

without setting off an alarm.

It's about time.

Shift change was
ten minutes ago.

Hey. That's a restricted area.

Oh, uh...

I was looking for a c concourse.

Back the way you came.
Two levels up.

Where does this lead?

That's classified.

Ladies and gentlemen,
please take your seats.

Council is brought
back to order.

The next matter on the agenda

is the continuing unrest
in the outer colonies.

Four. I was expecting
the marauder.

Its verification code has
been used to access the ship.

Yes, android. I'm sorry,

but I'm in a bit of a hurry and
don't have time to explain.

Explain what?

Authentication sequence
3-tango-5-Gulf-Sierra-6.

Shutdown command.

Go to the bridge.

Monitor for any signs of
the marauder's return.

If you encounter anyone use
non-lethal force only.

Understood.

I'll get the blink drive.

Arrian.

Arrian!

The ferrous corp. Delegation
left, didn't they?

Yes.

Without you.

Why would they do that?

I knew it...

You're the bomb.

Android, have we
heard anything yet?

Android, come in.

This device is detecting
the tarium in your system.

Then my shielding has
begun to degrade.

You have to get
off this station.

No.

You were kind to me,

even after you found
out I was not human.

I don't want you to die.

Then deactivate the bomb.

I can't.

It's inside me, but I
have no control over it.

Only commander nieman has
the deactivation code.

Then shut down.

I'll get you back to our ship.
Find a way to...

Shutting down won't
make a difference.

You have to leave now.

What about all the other
people on this station?

There's nothing I
can do for them.

That upgrade didn't just
change the way you talk.

It changed the way
you think and feel.

You tried to help me

before you knew I
could be trusted.

Why?

I don't know.

I do.

Because I know someone
just like you.

An android?

A friend.

She saved my life I don't
know how many times,

and not because she's
programmed to,

but because she cares.

And once you start to care,

it's not so easy
to turn your back

when something terrible
is about to happen.

Arrian, this could start a war.

There has to be
something we can do.

Yes.

You are right.

There is a way.

Where are you going?

Arrian?

Arrian?

No! Wait!

Order. Order, please.

Seal the hangars! This
station is under lockdown.

Yes, sir. Move it! Let's go!

Android, why aren't
you answering?

What're you doing here?

I was hoping we'd cross
paths one last time.

What have you done
with the android?

The android should be the
least of your concerns.

Ah!

I can guess almost
every move you make.

You can't beat me.

Oh, I don't need to beat you.

I just needed to cut you...

once.

The poison that coats my
blade will do the rest.

Misaki, I have the drive.

Fall back to the shuttle.

Yes, heika.

Did you encounter
any resistance?

None.

Good.

This is chief inspector kierken

of the galactic authority.

Please remain calm.

We're in the process of
investigating an explosion

that occurred off-station.

Preliminary assessments
reveal no structural damage

to the station itself.

However, be advised:

Security protocols
have been enacted,

and this station is
now under lockdown.

Activation code
delta-Gulf-echo-0-0-9.

Four?

Android, listen to me. I've
taken the blink drive.

I had no other choice, but
that's not important.

Right now I need you
to contact the crew

and have them fall back
to the ship immediately.

In approximately 20 minutes the
station will be destroyed.

There's no time to stop
what's about to happen,

but there is time for
them to save themselves.

Contact them. Now.

Two, three, five, six,

if you can hear me, you
must return to the ship.

Android, this is two.

There was an explosion
outside the station.

I think one of the others

might've found the
bomb and spaced it.

That may be true, but I believe

there may now be another threat.

What do you mean?

Four has a plot in place
to destroy the station.

You have less than 20
minutes to get here.

How do you know this?

He was on board. I'm sorry.

He used some kind of
deactivation code

I wasn't aware of.

He took the blink drive.

Shit...

Is anyone else reading this?
Please respond.

I am.

This is chief inspector kierken.

I already have one
of your people.

I took the Liberty of borrowing
his communication device.

You are not getting
off this station.

It could save us all a
lot of time and trouble

if you'd just turn yourself in.
Now.

If you've been
monitoring this channel

then you heard the
message I just got

from my ship's android.

Yes. It sounded
almost convincing.

I saw a member of the
zairon delegation

enter a restricted area.

They've already
breached your security.

You're lying.

He could be anywhere by now.

Life support. The reactor core.

Where would you go if you were
trying to destroy the station?

And while we're off on
this wild goose chase,

what will you be doing?

Listen to me.

The lives of everyone on this
station are in your hands.

They should be your priority.

Are the delegates
still in lockdown?

Yes, sir, we're holding them
in the conference room.

They're starting to get
a little impatient.

I don't care.

Portia lin is on this station.

Probably Boone as well.

I want them found.

Yes, sir.

Step away from the console.

Please.

It's too soon.

Step away.

Now!

Three, five, six,
if you can hear me,

get down to the marauder.

Hey, come with me.
