All language subtitles for Andromeda - 5x16 - Saving Light from a Black Sun.en

This is virgil vox on the box,

Soothing your seefran souls
as we wait...

wait... wait...

for the demi-Century
festival of the darkening,

When methus-2 goes out.

For how long?

The usual hour?

Long enough for me
to get a look inside, i hope.

Or this time,
as we all fear,

Will it stay dark
forever?

Not if i can figure out
what makes it blink.

You there, boss?
You still in range?

Not for long, mr. Harper.

The second that sun goes dark,
we are going in.

I'm back.

I'll make it
fast.

Here she is,
and she's got it.

Plucked straight from the altar
to our altar.

You're referring

To the carbon block,
i hope?

Yeah, and this
had better be good.

The minute
those paranoid zealots

Find out that their
ceremonial rock is missing...

it's worth it. It's worth it.

You ever hear of an old thief
named horace fry?

Yeah.

Lifted terma diamondoids.

Did 20 years in stir,

Ended up
on some backwater drift

Tending to his tropical fish.

Mm-Hmm, but what happened
to the diamondoids?

Nobody knows for sure.

He ditched them
in the chayson drift

Just before he got caught.

Bits of them scattered
over a hundred light years,

Probably.

Horace knew.

Federales never found the swag.

Even put the eels
to old mrs. Fry.

Tough lady.

She kept her lips sealed
to the last convulsion.

Fry left the swag in orbit

Before he busted out
to the drift.

25-Year decay rate...

terma was waiting for him
when he got out.

Smart...

but he knew the law
would be looking for that.

So he hid the goods
in plain sight.

He sewed the diamondoids
into his fish.

Precisely.

Finger marlins.
They live 40 years.

Much better decay rate.

Harper, you said

This would be fast.

I'm going as fast
as i can.

I'm making sure we're all
on the same page, boss.

You figure it out yet?

It's... black.

It's solid. It's carbon.

It's a filing cabinet.

Yes. I can see that.

All right.

We've got
an artificial star

With a terminal case
of the blinks, right?

Beka,

Harper thinks the block contains
information about methus-2.

Yeah, but the vedrans

Never left any information
about the system

In the archives. I checked.

Ah, but did you check
a dusty old paperweight

Made of ultragrade
carbon nanofibers?

Beka, behold
the vedran finger marlin.

Go fish.

The vedrans

Bound bits of information

To carbon atoms
inside this block.

I figured out
how to break those bonds

And access the diagrams...

structural
design information

For the entire
system!

I see.

You're going to apply heat.

Ain't no flies
on you, beka.

Boss, do i have your permission
to begin

Potentially damaging extraction
of said information?

It's either now
or 50 years from now

When methus-2 blinks off again.

That's assuming you're finished
with your story.

I thought you'd say that.

Light your lanterns,
gentle folk.

Methus-2's horn of darkness
approaches

After a 50-

That's a good look for you.

Heh heh.

Uh...

oh, ho, ho.

God bless you, horace fry.

Huh? Who's laughing now?

You've got a little, uh...

never mind.

I'm going to take that explosion
as good news,

Because we're going in.

Rhade, trance,
ready slipfighter.

We're clear.

Be careful, rhade.

What fun
would that be?

Okay, let's go
where the sun doesn't shine.

The universe
is a dangerous place,

But in our future,

My crew and i fight
to make it safe.

I am dylan hunt,

Captain
of theandromeda ascendant,

And these are our adventures.

The festival of the darkening.

Believers and non-Believers,
behold.

Dylan, rhade, and trance
went to methus-2

Without seeing this?

Aw, geez, do i have to
explain everything

Every time
we do something?

All right.

By the time
they hauled this thing out

For the local fear festival,

Dylan had already known
for weeks

About this once-Every-50-Year
blackout,

And that he'd only
have an hour

From the second
it got dark

To get inside and look around,
so he went, on pure instinct.

Pure guts.

That's dylan.

Yeah, however,
pure brilliance led me to deduce

That there's more
to this carbon block

Than meets the eye.

It contains a maintenance code

I can use
to keep the sun down longer.

How long?

Three hours.

He'll have
three hours inside-

Safe, guaranteed.

Provided
there are no surprises.

Please don't bite the hand
that solders you.

I've wiped
way too many

Of your guarantees
off my boots, harper.

Fine.
Don't believe me.

Believe the vedrans.

It's their maintenance code,
their diagrams...

apparently they wrote the block
on this stuff.

I see.

So the furnace is on the fritz

Because methus-2 hasn't seen
a fix-It crew in while.

Yes.

Transmitting the code,
in layman's terms,

Reduces the sun's luminosity
to absolute blackness,

Opening a portal

Which in this case
is already open.

Inside, between
the mantle and the core,

There's enough free space
for a millionandromedas,

And you should have
more than enough time

To repair
the damage.

We don't even know
the extent of the damage.

What if we need more downtime?

You won't,
because there isn't any.

Keeping the sun down any longer

Could cause
catastrophic weather conditions

Throughout the system.

That's why
they built

The three-Hour
failsafe.

Besides, how long
do you need?

You get in,
find dylan,

Kick out the boiler,

And be home in time
to give me a massage.

There is nothing

In the methus diagrams
about a maintenance code.

The information
i'm getting from this rock

Is solid.

It is not this block
i have concerns about, harper.

Actually, beka,
he's right.

The vedrans
designed this system

As one immense roadblock
to stop the rogue sun

And save this planet.

If methus-2 is broken,
the mechanism fails-

Thank you.

And we
are macrocosmic roadkill.

We have no choice
but to follow dylan.

Not yet.

Harper's not quite finished
feeding out the rope.

I was getting to it.

There is a catch.
There always is.

The vedrans
used the same architecture

Inside the sun's core

That they used
inside all their spaceships,

So passages are going
to look familiar, very familiar,

Over and over again.

The whole thing's
probably designed

To lure intruders away
from their true path

To the fusion reactor,

So pay attention.

We could be
walking around in circles

Until the sun ignites.

Now, we can go hang ourselves.

Uh-Uh.

Got you something.

Now you can go hang yourselves.

I uploaded
the methus-2 designs

Into doyle's neuron-Net.

Did you want us
to miss you?

I don't hold false hopes.

Just following
the boss and trance's orders.

Besides, don't cry about it.

At least this way,

You'll be able to know
where you're going.

You wanted harper
to stay behind?

Well, it felt like
the right thing to do,

You know, in case
there's a problem.

Well, it's in case
you need a rescue.

Besides, the seefrans
aren't tech savvy.

They'll need harper's help

To get some other plan
to save the system.

Not that you will need rescue,
by the way.

I looked it all over twice.

You're not going to hit
any snags

Or any tangles of any sort.

I promise. You'll be fine.

That's brave talk
for a guy

Whose butt is shining
a bar stool.

Communication
gets tougher

The closer you get
to the core,

So i'll be acting
as your conduit to harper.

Okay.

We're on our way
to find the core.

Good,

'Cause the one thing
you need to worry about

Is time,

So keep your eyes
on the minutes.

We'll be doing that,
mr. Harper.

Just make sure there's
free gwaro when we get back.

Free?
Half price.

For the first round.

Yeah, i'll pretend
i didn't hear that.

Well, then,
let me spell it out for you.

I got abidnesto run,
spelled b-I-D-N-E-S.

The girls in the back,
they're giving me a hard time-

Now, if i could only make sense
of this place.

Rhade?

I get this
very strong feeling

That dylan has invested
all of our hopes

In this mission.

He's just like
every other exile

Thrown
down this hole.

He wants to survive.

If there's still
a commonwealth,

I want to find a way back.
So does he.

When hope fills us up,
we're easy to deceive.

I'm afraid we might
miss what's obvious.

I don't miss much.

That's how i've survived
this long.

No. You've already
missed something.

I don't think that this star
is some broken machine.

Something alive
is inside the core,

Or it's at least an expression
of some entity's life force.

Couldn't wait
for us, huh?

Well, i had to
get the party started.

There's still two hours
and five minutes to burn.

What route
did rhade and trance take?

Through a portal
at the core's south pole.

You guys take the north.

Splitting up doubles the risk.

Yeah, but it also
doubles our chances

Of finding
the reactor.

Look, whoever gets there first
will make repairs.

Other team will harvest
deuterium fuel forandromeda.

Seems
counterproductive

To steal fuel
from a dying star.

If no one can make repairs,

At least we'll get out
with the ship at full power.

Oh, uh, when i say
it's time to get out,

Get out.

I'll be
coming fast.

You won't have to say
that twice. Going in.

Good luck.

Rhade,

Beka and doyle
are inside the core

At the north portal.

Dylan,
change frequencies.

He'll come through
again.

It's this place.

Some spots are more
open than others.

And i suppose
that's determined

By the life force
you sensed in here?

Can't tell yet
if it's friend or foe?

Well,
maybe it's both...

in the same body.

I'm leaning towards "foe."

Dylan,
we've got problems.

Suddenly,
the doors have legs.

Doyle, dig through the diagrams
for a pattern.

See if there's any part
of the configuration

That leads
to the fusion chamber.

The core's designs
refer to its ability

To change its internal
configuration.

Which means
our map is useless?

Rhade? Trance?

Rhade?

Damn it!

Dylan?

Dylan!

Clock is ticking.

One hour and 53 minutes.

Time for intuition
to lead the way.

Rhade?
I have a feeling

Something bad is coming.

I could use a hint.

Dylan?

Andromeda?

No.

This can't be happening.

No, no, no. No!

No, no...

no, no, no!
This can't be happening! No!

I promised them.
I promised them...

Seefra to dylan?

Seefra to dylan.
Come in, dylan.

I never asked for any of you
to come back, you know.

Maybe i did a little at first,
but... i got by.

I got by.

I made me a beauty.

Fabricated some freaks.

I did what i had to do
to stay alive in this sinkhole.

Stinkhole!

Three years...

but i was going to find
my own way out.

Noandromeda.

No rommie.

No promises.

I didn't ask for any of you.

I didn't need any of you,
and even if i did...

i never expected an answer.

You...

you lied to me.

Uh-Huh.

You made me believe
they'd be safe.

What's that?

You want a little drinky?

Okay.

Ah!

It's theandromeda.

This is real time.

But... but how?

Wait a minute. What...

if the mantle were strong enough

To protect the core
from a short burst, then...

they wouldn't fry.

They'd be okay.

They'd be alive!

They're alive?
Ha! They're alive!

They're alive!

Ha ha ha!

For now, anyway.

Mm-Mwah!

The sun flashed.

Just not enough to vaporize you.

Gear's fried.

Without
the hand comm,

We can't tell
how much time we have left.

Roughly 72 minutes, 42 seconds?

"Roughly."

Ah...

here's the next question.
Our location.

How far we are from the chamber?

I got nothin'.

Oh, i'm sure
you have a feeling.

This is going to sound strange.

Sometimes i'm not where i am,

And sometimes
i am where i'm not.

Here's the only thing
that scares me-

Is that you understand me...
kind of?

Kind of.

Wish i did.

You do.

Trance.

Would you like some company?

What's up ahead,
what we're all looking for?

I'm the only one
who knows the way.

No matter what,
you must follow me.

I'm your shadow.

Doyle?

Doyle!

Crap.

Hey.

Doyle,
spark it up.

I don't want
to leave you here.

Uh...

i'm sorry, beka.

Trance, is that you?
Are you okay?

I brought us
to seefra.

Hey, are you with dylan?
I need help.

Doyle's shut down.

All those months
you spent alone,

Drifting...
starving...

hey, look,
you've got to tell dylan

We couldn't find
any fuel storage.

Where would you be
without me?

Where would you be
if i were someone else?

Trance... without you,
the rest of us would be dead.

Death is just
a matter of time.

Trance?

Where the hell
are you going?

I need help with doyle.

Trance?

Wait.

How much time do we have left?

Trance? Trance!

Crap!

Your hand comm
is working.

Rhade,

We've had no luck
reaching harper.

Well, i guess
we found a safe spot.

For now.

Dylan,
we've lost contact

With beka and doyle.

Did theandromeda
sustain any damage?

None.

About the only good news
on a really bad day.

I hate
to admit it,

But i was actually

Looking forward
to this.

What, burning to a cinder?

A concrete objective,
like the old days.

Shooting up
bipedal lizards.

Rescuing exotic women,

Accepting their sighs
as gratitude.

No riddles
or paradine puzzles.

And look what we get-
Trapped in a maze.

Well, the only thing we know

Is that we're running
out of time.

There's no
hard time on seefra.

There is in here.

Maybe...

for one of us.

Promise you'll remember
what i said?

I fail without you?

Exactly.

Damn it!

Trance!

Dylan, i've been cut off
from trance.

Understood.

Andromeda,
run the methus-2 diagrams.

Cross-Reference it
with all vedran ship designs

From commonwealth years
cy 4279

To cy 9785.

Captain,
what are we looking for?

Initial operating systems.

And luck.

The festival of the darkening.

Dance, you fools, dance.

Trance!

Dylan,

I'm going to need something
to break through.

Damn it!

That sounded promising.

A piece of the wall
just broke and shattered.

It's a strange metal.

Yeah, it's, uh,
it's not metal.

The core...

this whole structure

Is made from carbon.

Keep moving, rhade.
You're close.

The flash...

you used the star's energy
to appear.

But you're
the only one i sense.

Where are the rest of us?

Where we are,
when we are...

nothing but lies
told by the senses.

I prefer the lies
of living senses

To your idea of the truth.

There is no room for dissension
within the nebula.

All must be one.

That is not
an arbitrary law,

Trance gemini.

It is the state
of existence.

No bodies. No borders.

Only eternal, undivided essence.

Don't you hear
how foolish you sound?

If all of us are one,

Yet i can reject
the will of the nebula,

Then your belief is the lie.

For every choice,
there is a consequence.

Yours is waiting.

The only path
still open to you.

Then i'm already trapped.

Doyle, can you hear me?

Doyle!

Aw, crap.

Dylan?

Dylan, come in.

Rhade?

It breaks.

Okay, wait.

That'd be a very bad idea.

No sense incinerating myself
before my time.

Dylan!

I've found trance.

Rhade, say again.
Comm link is breaking.

Trance!

She said to follow.

Andromeda,show
the last locations of the crew.

Searching.

I have them, captain.

Time to go.

Beka, is that you
making all that racket?

Hell, yes!

Are you hurt?

No, but i have discovered

I'm a girl
who does not like to be trapped.

So you left me here,
out of juice, defenseless.

Serves you right
you got trapped.

Left you behind?
I was chasing trance.

She abandoned us both.

Sure, the synthetic's not worth
a believable lie.

I am not lying, damn it!

How much time do we have?

Not much. Stand back.

Wow.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

This is carbon.

I know.
It's a gas can.

Let's go.

Rhade? Beka?

If anyone can read me,
i am on my way in.

The vedrans used
an ancient technology

Called
hydride containment.

They made the walls
with carbon nanofibers.

All the deuterium

Is bound
to the carbon atoms.

Highly stable,

And given the size
of the core,

There's enough
heavy hydrogen here

To power
a dozen methus-2s.

Well, what now?

Contact the others.

Rhade?

Where are you, beka?

Inside a gas tank,
and so are you.

And so am i.

I'm way ahead of you.

Get to themaru.

Use the engines
to heat a section of the core

And release the deuterium
we need forandromeda.

But, dylan,
we won't have time

To search for
the fusion chamber.

Look, i want you and doyle
onboardandromeda

And ready to bolt

With 10 minutes
left on the clock.

On our way.

Hey, rhade.

Dylan?

How the hell'd
you get here?

Yeah. I guessed that
the defense mechanism

In the maze

Would employ
the same pattern

As other vedran
operating systems.

You guessed?

Didn't i tell you

We were going to
get lucky?

You did.

The fusion chamber.

Here's the problem.

We're screwed.

Diagnstic says the lines running
to and from the chamber

Are clear.

There's no blockages to
the fuel or heat transfer.

That can't be.

Adventures
were much more fun

When it was just
bad guys lining up,

Letting us
shoot them.

Yeah.

No glory in having to think
for a living.

All right,
let's figure this thing out.

Heat goes out
to free deuterium.

Fuel flows back here

To feed
the fusion reaction.

Vedrans like to play
"hide in plain sight."

That fish tank is the furnace.

And it's in real bad need
of a cleaning.

Once we're out,

Divert all fuel
to the main engines.

Run them in the red.

There's a pop-Off vent
in the core's surface

30 degrees
from this portal.

Great.

Plot the location
into the nav net.

How are we doing
on time?

You really want to know?

What i really want is a nap.

You said "on the ship
and ready to ride

With 10 minutes
to burn."

14 minutes.
Window's closing.

Let's see what you and i can do
in four minutes.

Sealed the cargo hold
and purged the interior.

Storage available

For 700 cubic liters
of compressed deuterium.

Firing thrusters
and counter-Thrusters.

Let's get hot.

That's right. Drink it up.

We're already at 30% capacity.

This is great.

I spoke too soon, didn't i?

Yeah.
The engines have locked up.

Can you unlock them?

No, i don't
think so,

But we can continue
collecting the gas.

Comm's fried.

Don't worry.
Dylan will be here.

He said he would be.

No, this says
the lines are clear.

So why would
the heat source

Run so far
below ideal capacity?

Radiant outflow
must be blocked.

Then let's run a snake
through the drains.

Hey, even pulsing
at half capacity,

This boiler is pumping
billions of lumens.

If it hasn't cleared
the blockage,

What will?

Maybe a burst
at 10 times normal output will.

Have you ever heard
of overkill?

Ever hear of last resorts?

Look, we survived one flare.
I'll take those odds.

Once you've primed the pump,

We'd better duck, tuck,
and roll.

Get ready to duck, tuck,
and roll.

Why do you worry?

Not for myself.

Your friends
will be saved.

Tarn vedra will remain
outside of the cataclysm,

A paradise for the millions

Fortunate enough to
live in this system.

What about
the trillions of lives

That will end

When the abyss
dissolves the three galaxies?

Why does the nebula
turn its back on them?

And why should i?

There are no beings.

No such thing as lives
for them to lead.

The only real thing
is the energy that fuels them,

And energy can never die.

Then i will live to stop you.

Trance?

Trance.

When the clock starts
winding down,

It's going to get very hot
in here...

permanently.

Well, then, we'd better
outrun our shadows.

Beka and doyle are stalled
on the core's surface.

Open a channel.

Themaru's communications are down.

All right. Let's go get them.

They're still gathering fuel.

Readings indicate

That doyle and beka
are still onboard.

Themaru'sengines
must have seized.

T minus

One minute 40 seconds
to solar ignition.

My priority is the matriarch...

but there's barely enough time

To make the portal
and save ourselves,

Let alone anyone else.

I'm not leaving anyone behind.

Now what?

Well, we're going to give
them a tow,

And we're going
to make it quick.

But we don't have...

time is relative.

Andromeda,bucky cables, now.

Cables.

Cables secure.

Bring 'em in.

Be gentle with us, guys.

Right now,
we're a hydrogen hand grenade.

T minus 10 seconds

To solar ignition.

All right.
Get us out of here.

Feel free to get a push
from the solar wind

If you have to.

Guys? Guys?

Talk to me.
Let me know you're alive.

Insult me, for crying out loud.

You're short,

And you throw
like a girl.

Yes! Thank you.

Methus-2 is at full capacity

For the first time
since we don't know when.

Tap a keg, mr. Harper.

Make it a dozen,
and invite some ladies.

The friendly kind.

The friendly kind?

Rhade, i thought you only liked
the kind with mustaches.

Throw like a girl...

you saved million of
lives today,

And you've given us
a fighting chance

To escape this system.

It feels like
we're free already.

Trance, in matters
of time and place,

And, of course, life and death,

I'll never doubt your intuition.

I already knew that.

I had a feeling it was obvious.

Welcome back, ladies.

It's good to be back.

Hey, thanks for the lift.

Dylan.

Beka.

Hey, thanks
for getting that fuel.

Dylan, i think you should know

About something that happened
on methus-2,

Just after it flashed?

I saw trance.

She spoke to me,

But she definitely
wasn't herself.

I mean, doyle was damaged,
i needed help,

And suddenly trance becomes
this mysterious cloaked figure

Who shuts up and walks away.

She was wearing a cloak?

Yeah, and, dylan...

i think
she deliberately

Lured me into a trap.

I mean,
if doyle hadn't rebooted,

I'd be a cloud of gas right now.

Come on, beka.

We both know trance
isn't capable of betrayal.

Really?

Then who was with me
inside the sun?
