Original subtitles

- Previously on "Grand Star."

- You have repeatedly used force to no avail.

Perhaps now should you meditate on using some other

more subtle means of extracting information, something

more in line with the sophistication of the Pointsmen.

- Hey, I came to talk to you, look what I found.

- That's stupid, you should not

be going into the Underworld alone.

- After you.

- Hey you can't do that,

those are important historical artifacts.

- So, they must be worth something.

- Where'd you learn that? - I'm full of surprises.

- Apparently the world before

the deep freeze wasn't so terrible after all.

- Makes you wonder what else they've been lying to us about.

- Someone's identity card.

- I wonder who this belongs to.

Out of my way.

Come on, move.

- Perhaps you could invite your friend

Cal and his father over this evening.

- Mom, why don't you just invite Liam over yourself?

You don't need to use Cal and I to hide your motives.

- What motives? - Mom.

- Has Liam mentioned something?

- Mom.

- What's the meaning of this?

You can't just barge in here.

- I'm sorry, Mrs. Masters but we do have a search warrant.

We found your son's identification

card in a restricted area.

We believe he has company property in his possession.

- Kurt?

- I don't know what he's talking about.

- Look everywhere, I'm sure there's something here.

Would you explain to us how

these came to be in your possession?

No?

Take him.

Good day, Mrs. Masters.

- It'll be okay, mom. - Oh, Kurt.

- Do you expect me to believe that you,

Kurt Masters, went alone to the Black Market

and for some unfathomable reason

bought these highly forbidden remnants from the past,

not for the pleasure of watching them but merely

for fun?

Shall I tell you what you were really doing?

Oh, please let me.

You were down there with Cal Ragg.

You were down there with Cal Ragg because

the two of you are conspiring against our corporation.

Because the two of you are searching

for any data that will undermine our rule

and this I will not permit.

Cal Ragg was with you.

- Never.

- Are you fully aware of the punishment awaiting you?

- Yes.

- I don't think you are.

- Cal?

- Yeah, come in.

- They've just arrested Kurt. - I know.

- They can hold him for two years.

- Two years?

- But if he joins the Pointsmen Academy,

then they can let him go right away.

What did he steal? - I don't know.

- You have to be careful.

If the Pointsmen get after you, I can't protect you,

just like Tara couldn't protect Kurt.

- I'd run.

- You can't run.

- I'd run.

I'd become a Renewer.

- Don't you ever mention that word to me.

- They exist, don't they?

- It's a band of fellas that believe

that the sun still exists, so what?

- So they're right, the sun does exist.

- You forget the Renewers.

- But it's my fault, right?

He never would have been in trouble

if it wasn't for me dragging him into all this.

- Kurt came along because his conscience

told him it was the right thing to do.

- You think so? - Yeah.

I mean he gives the impression of being a clown but inside--

- Oh yes.

- You're out? - Yeah.

Looks to me like you're looking at a Pointsman.

- What?

- Yeah, I'm joining the Pointsmen Academy.

It's great.

Really.

Fantastic.

It was that or lock-up, so the Academy it is.

- You could run away. - Right.

- You're not gonna turn into another Damien, are you?

- Shut up, of course I'm not.

I'll just go and pretend that I'm a good,

loyal soldier and then I'll come back.

In the meantime, you got a spy working for you.

- Lieutenant,

we have created the highest form of society.

It's beautiful, isn't it?

- Yes, yes.

- Yes, yes.

Your generation's so confused, so confused it's confusing.

- President Palidor,

I believe Cal Ragg was with Kurt Masters

in the restricted area and that they both

purchased illegal images belonging to the past.

- Belief or proof?

- Well for Kurt Masters,

I have the proof

and for Kyle Ragg, I have the belief.

- Bring me proof, Lieutenant.

- Very good, sir.

- Suki, today's the big day.

I just finished packing and I don't

really know how to say this.

Cal,

he's on his own, right?

And I mean his father tries really hard but

the guy's the loneliest soul I've ever met

and I'm worried about him.

He's not gonna have me around to listen to him anymore.

- You want me to take care of him?

- Yeah.

Yeah, take care of him.

- I'll do it. - Okay.

Thanks.

Well...

- You take good care of yourself.

- I will.

You're my brother, okay?

Don't forget that, don't ever forget that, okay?

- Other rig security has disconnected

in KWW area, substitute monitoring.

- Yeah, try it now.

Well at least you've got to admit it.

Hey.

- Attention.

I'd like to introduce to you

our newest recruit, Kurt Masters.

- Hey,

how you doing?

Are you all right?

- Don't. - But he's freezing.

- It's hypothermia.

Sergeant Stahl left him out in the ice for three hours.

It's up to him to survive.

If you help him, the next time it'll be you.

- I have the tapes over here.

Let's see if this works.

- Yet the Amazon

remains a marvel of Mother Nature.

It's as if man had never set foot there.

Its beauty is only paralleled

by its ability to sustain life.

Researchers have proven that the Amazon rainforest

holds the cure for many of man's ills and diseases

as well as providing us with the air that we breathe.

And yet it remains constantly threatened by mankind.

- Turn it off, Cal.

Maybe we were born in the wrong period.

Imagine,

imagine just to walk on grass,

barefoot.

Just that.

We'll never know.

- Most of you came here with nothing.

Many from poor families with no prospects for the future.

But now you are on the path

to being respected and admired by all,

a Pointsman.

Our society is new.

Our entire population lives in stations

like this one spread out all over the world.

It is not an easy way to live

but since the sun went supernova,

it has become our way of life.

Recruit,

how are you feeling?

- I'm okay.

- I was hard on Henrick yesterday but I have to be.

Being a Pointsman is the most important job in the world.

We maintain order.

If we are not strong, then our world will die.

You are the keepers

of civilization.

- Hey.

- Oh I forgot, you're Kurt Masters.

You own all the space in here.

You're the reason why we're eating this slop.

Can't march in a straight line.

- Leave him alone. - What will you do,

sick your mother on me?

- My mother, you think you're gonna

upset me by insulting my mother?

- I hate your mother, my father worked for her, you know,

at the Masters Mining Corporation.

He was injured on the job.

- I'm very sorry to hear that.

- He got nothing, not even medical treatment.

He died three months later.

What's left of my family lives in the tunnels now.

She killed him.

- I'm sorry.

- Tyler, that's enough.

Take him to the detention.

And you,

come with me.

Tell control we are heading back to Grand Star.

- I had nothing to do with what happened.

Tyler grabbed me outta nowhere and started throwing punches.

You can ask anybody that was in there.

- Kurt, Kurt, Kurt.

I know.

Okay?

I heard what happened.

You impressed me.

- What?

- You stuck up for Henrick, well done.

- So,

you're not gonna do anything?

Why are you being so decent?

- Kurt, you're about to join the ranks of the Pointsmen.

You'll only be punished if you

bring dishonor onto your uniform.

- That sounds fair.

Thanks, Damien.

- Recruit Masters,

in here, it's Lieutenant Damien,

all right?

- All right.

Thanks, Lieutenant Damien.

- Get outta here.

Cal Ragg.

Just the person I was hoping to see.

I have some very encouraging news about our mutual friend.

- Mutual friend?

- Kurt Masters, he's turning out to be one of the most

promising recruits we've seen for quite some time.

How long has he been at the Academy again?

- A month and 12 days.

- A month and 12 days.

Well, goes to show, that's the time

you need if you really want to rectify someone, so long.

- Rectify?

- Silence.

Congratulations.

This is one of the best squads to serve this facility.

And good work deserves reward.

You will be attending this evening

the Governor's Ball as guests of CEO Palidor

and I want your shoes to shine.

- Yes, Sergeant Stahl.

- The Governor's Ball, why do I have to go to that?

- To prove to everyone that you

are a respectable member of this society.

- Maybe that's exactly what I don't wanna be.

- Look, this is not a game.

Lieutenant Damien is after you,

he'd like to put you in prison.

- And how is this going to help?

- Well, the only people who can stand up

to the Pointsmen are the Governing Council.

They'll be at the Ball and they need to know you,

they need to know that you share

the aims and objectives of this society.

- And if I don't?

- Well you keep your mouth shut and you pretend that you do.

- I wanna bring Suki.

- Well she's not invited.

- I'm not going unless I can bring Suki.

- What's so important about Suki?

- Hey,

I don't wanna be the only guy there without a date.

- You won't be the only one without a date, there's me.

- Ladies and gentlemen, ElectriCorp

and CEO Palidor are proud to bring you--

- So Cal, plenty of important people here.

- They are the future.

- Liam. - Yes.

- Wonderful news, the Governor has spoken to Palidor.

They're going to let Kurt leave the Academy.

- Ooh.

You have influence in high places.

- You just have to know where the strings are.

- That's great, was he causing too much trouble?

- No, actually they said he was an ideal student.

Shall we dance? - Sure.

- Excuse me.

Hey, you wanna go dance?

- Finally, I was about to ask Damien.

- Hey Kurt, how's a going?

- Good.

- So you got any news for me?

- Excuse me?

- You're my Pointsman spy, right?

- Oh yeah, right.

- So what's going on, talk to me.

- Cal, I'm trying to dance here.

- Okay, sure. - Jeez.

- So you hear the good news?

- What good news?

- Your mom got you out.

You don't have to go to the Academy anymore.

- That's not her decision.

I'm staying.

- You're staying?

No way.

- Excuse me for one second.

It's not your decision either.

- All right, what did they do to you?

- I don't expect you to understand this,

Cal, but I actually like it there and I'm not leaving.

- Well what about what we had to do?

- And what's that?

- Finding the sun.

- There is no sun, that's just propaganda.

- I saw it.

- That's what you say, I didn't.

- Well what about that old woman?

She saw it. - The old woman was blind.

She didn't see anything.

- Kurt, you can't do this.

- Why, because you say I can't?

This is my life, Cal, and I'm taking charge of it.

I'm tired of doing whatever you want.

- Kurt. - Don't touch me.

I'm a Pointsman now.

Excuse me.

- They did something to him.

- Maybe. - No, of course they did.

I mean he used to hate the Pointsmen as much as I did.

- Looks like that's changed.

- But I can't do it without him.

- You've got me, that's something.

- Yeah, yeah it is.

- You are on the path to being respected

and admired by all,

a Pointsman.

Our society is new.

Being a Pointsman is the most important job in the world.

We maintain order.

You are the keepers

of civilization.

If we are not strong,

then our world will die.
