Original subtitles

BROTHER 13: Inside everyone there is a hunger,

a desire to be something greater than themselves.

It is gnawed at humanity since the dawn of time.

RADIO: Mercury control.

BROTHER 13: There's an answer.

RADIO: On intercept course.

BROTHER 13: An answer so pure and sweet

it makes one tremble with joy.

Say it with me, praise Vahootie.

MONKS: Praise Vahootie. (echoing)

RADIO: This is Authority Patrol Vessel CG238.

You are entering solar gravity threshold.

Urgent please acknowledge, crazy sons of bitches.

(dramatic music)

In Heaven everyone is your friend

but first we must get there.

We will all pass through the sun's eternal fire

to be one would Vahootie again.

Your beauty is a great gift.

Brother 13 I urgently seek reassurance.

Jacob, how many times have we gone through this?

I pray and fast and meditate

as you have instructed but well doubt creeps in.

Yes doubt is very corrosive.

And I can appreciate your fears.

But faith doesn't come from fear Jacob.

It's born out of courage and self sacrifice.

How far are you willing to go for your faith Jacob?

Come here.

Would that wisdom would be my guide brother.

Take out your dagger.

Would you cut off your arm for your Lord almighty

showing him your willingness to serve?

Enough, your devotion is seen and acknowledged.

You are ready to receive Vahootie's blessed rejuvenation.

(suspenseful music)

Know the power of your true path.

Feel the faith flow through me.

Oh praise be.

Blessed be.

The cloud departed, now I see.

Praise be to Vahootie.

You are known in love, now leave me Jacob.

I must meditate.

(dramatic music)

You know there's too many amateur pilots out there.

That's why The Authority has to patrol around here,

keep them from crashing into the sun.

You ask me they want to fry let them fry.

I agree let them fry.

CARAVAGGIO: Captain an unidentified vessel

is on the edge of radar zone three.

Visualizing and enlarging.

It's as big as the Tulip, capacity 500 or so.

I wonder what they're doing our here.

That must be what

The Authority Patrol shuttles were after.

CARAVAGGIO: The unidentified vessel will

enter the solar gravity threshold

in two hours 18 minutes and will detonate

if it maintains its present course.

Try an emergency frequency Luc.

CARAVAGGIO: No need they're already broadcasting.

Put it up Caravaggio.

BROTHER 13: The great day I foresaw has come.

Where all Vahootie's children will be in the heart--

They're heading into the sun on purpose.

Who is Vahootie?

Stop and hold Car.

Luc contact The Authority.

See if they know about this situation.

Vahootie, it's a tootie fruitee hootie.

We're finally going to be one with Vahootie.

No, I have another fate for you.

But I've waited so long to be with the Almighty.

Are you questioning me?

Do you know more than I about the mysteries of the faith?

No of course not, I'm sorry.

The day will come when all Vahootie's children

will see things the way they are.

Praise him with all your heart.

Surrender totally--

It's an internal narrow cast from the ship.

They're not receiving on any channel.

Car is there anything in the net on these clowns?

Preliminary analysis of the station

indicates it's a religious sanctuary

owned by the Church of Amega who worship Vahootie.

Okay I'm sorry but I still can't

believe their god is named Vahootie.

Vahootie is a drink, vahootie is a dance.

Vahootie's not a god.

What do you expect, they're a bunch of crazy fanatics.

Why are you so quick to judge?

Luc these people are on a suicide mission

into the sun, to me that sounds crazy.

Unless they're really really stupid.

Yeah or that.

All I know is believing in something

greater than yourself no matter what it's called

is as human a need as food or shelter.

All I know is I don't want some cult leader

telling me what god wants me to do.

Fine.

Car do we have time to catch

them before they hit the red zone?

CARAVAGGIO: Window for interception is narrowing rapidly.

Alright let's give it our best shot.

Breakthrough, make way for Brother 13,

last prophet of the Almighty Vahootie.

Friends, prepare yourselves to enter

Vahootie's great home in the sun.

JACOB: Sun.

Give him all your praises.

ALL: Love.

BROTHER 13: You know now joy.

ALL: Joy.

BROTHER 13: You came to me lost.

ALL: Lost.

Now the great moment of salvation has come.

Vahootie wrote you will lose yourselves in the greater good

and thus rediscover the purpose of your life.

The purpose of all humanity.

Praise Brother 13.

Praise Vahootie. Praise Vahootie.

I have loved you.

ALL: Love.

I have known you.

ALL: Known.

I have saved you.

ALL: Save us.

CARAVAGGIO: They're caught in the red zone.

Those poor bastards.

Oh man is there anything we can do?

Well we have the shuttle but

it only can evacuate four people at a time.

CARAVAGGIO: Captain hull temperature

is approaching critical, g-force is equaling

needed escape velocity thrust.

God.

Ooh they're not gonna make it.

CARAVAGGIO: Captain?

Stand at hold Car, it's too late.

You are all in Vahootie's arms my friends.

I go with my disciples in search of a new ark,

in search of more souls to rejuvenate, amen.

Why didn't you take me?

I wanted to stay with Vahootie like the others.

Stop your damn whining.

(dramatic music)

I've seen enough.

Why would they kill themselves?

You want to answer that Luc?

What kind of prophet would demand that of his followers?

I don't know.

Well if that's what religion is then forget that.

Who needs that?

That's right.

Hold on, look just because they destroyed themselves

doesn't invalidate people's need for belief.

CARAVAGGIO: I've detected the iron signature

of a standard issue shuttle moving

away from the ark or what's left of it.

It's impossible, it would burn up with the ark.

Unless it left the ark at the last second.

It's present course and thruster power

will not allow it to escape the sun's gravity.

Well I wonder who was saved.

Let's get that shuttle Car.

Vectoring coordinates to intersect shuttle.

Man these bananas are chock full of surprises.

(dramatic music)

LUCRETIA: Dante the shuttle craft is not responding.

(groaning in pain)

Jacob do something.

Mayday mayday, vessel in distress.

(dramatic music)

Well shall we roll out the welcoming committee Luc?

Yeah sure.

Wow I've officially witnessed a mass suicide.

Remind me to make note of that in my diary later.

Understood.

Shuttle craft, docking is secure.

Prepare to disembark.

We copy that rescue vessel.

Praise be to Vahootie.

DANTE: I wonder what kind of cult freaks we've picked up.

Brother 13, the most high and venerable

prophet of the almighty Vahootie.

Peace be unto you friends.

Hold it right there all of you.

What are you doing?

Caravaggio scan them.

CARAVAGGIO: Captain, the one in the robe has a knife.

I'll do it.

Okay.

DANTE: Come on give it up.

JACOB: No one much touch the prophet.

Ready?

Got him?

It's just a mere ornament, a manifestation of--

Yeah I heard that all before.

Who are you?

I am Marinas, wife of the prophet.

The wife, she's old enough to be your daughter mister.

Are you sitting in judgment of me?

Oh yeah and I judged you to be garbage.

Dare you speak to Brother 13 this way.

It's my ship I can talk anyway I want.

Those outside of knowing are deserving of our pity Marina.

You must control your anger.

Oh you know me, and save me from myself.

Please he's hurt, could I just tend to his injuries?

Luc that one goes to lockup.

These I'll escort to the guest quarters.

Let's go knife boy.

JACOB: I'm body guard to the prophet.

I must be with him at all times.

This is religious persecution.

Everyone wants to be forgiven and loved.

You're no different.

Hold on I never said I was different, get in.

You seek love in the wrong places.

Really?

You're very insightful.

I gain my insight from Brother 13.

His knowledge of your heart is superior.

He can help you find what's missing.

Really?

But I'm not missing anything.

See I've got it all.

Are you ready for the promised land?

Do you mean the promised name in the middle of the sun?

It's a state of mind.

And what was the state of mind for the people who died?

Pure unadulterated joy.

And what with your state of mind

as you wet yourself and you jumped the ship?

Same as it is now.

You're an asshole.

(dramatic music)

Bright lights, brighter than the sun.

And an angel sent to save us.

Why'd you do it?

My Lord and master commanded it.

I am merely his vessel.

Your god Vahootie told you to incinerate your followers

while you conveniently ran away?

They put their trust in me and their

trust was rewarded as I foresaw.

The ultimate knowledge of self sacrifice.

I think Vahootie is just another

pathetic fairy tale that's been used to manipulate

the poor and weak since the beginning of time.

Such terrible lies.

Accept the hand of faith and self knowledge,

and be at peace.

You don't look that sick to me brother.

You will not accept the gift the faith?

You will never know Vahootie, I pity you.

Save your pity let's see if old Vahootie

saves a mass murderer's sorry ass.

Luc check him out.

If he's legally alive put him in a cage.

Caravaggio do a medical scan on, Mr. 13.

CARAVAGGIO: No internal injuries or abnormalities.

Second degree burn affecting forehead.

You can recover from your losses

and find your true purpose.

That is really really good to know.

You want to know him don't you?

You have a need.

You hunger for the truth and salvation.

I can see it in you.

You are a seeker.

CARAVAGGIO: Of course there is the extremely

small possibility that Vahootie might actually be a god.

Right.

CARAVAGGIO: Vahootie himself was a twentieth century monk

who wrote extensive biblical analysis.

According to the cult literature Brother 13

was an army mechanic, a drone living

on Callisto when the Civil War started.

He was a POW for 11 months.

Really?

What did he start his own religion when he got free?

CARAVAGGIO: Claims the experience

gave him special powers of empathy and faith.

He's been quite successful gathering followers.

I should have some followers.

CARAVAGGIO: Promises to know their hearts

and consequently to love them

and lead them down their true path.

Yeah yeah into the sun, I got it.

CARAVAGGIO: Typical counter climax.

If I were your uncle I'd unload

these people at the earliest opportunity.

Car plot a course for the Mercury Base.

We're gonna dump these crazies with The Authority.

Get me Rudolpho I want to send a message.

CARAVAGGIO: Right away.

Hey Percy, you do me a favor and help Luc out?

Bring some food down to the scumbag and the little girl?

What am I waitress, food?

Percy please.

Come on.

Geez.

(dramatic music)

You'll live.

BROTHER 13: What is your name my child?

Ah not child.

I'm just the waitress, here's your food.

I have no need for worldly substance.

Fantastic.

You're married to this guy?

Yes, it is a great honor to have been chosen.

Yeah it must be nice not to be one of the dead people.

We were all a big happy family

living in the love of Vahootie,

and the Brother 13's guidance.

BROTHER 13: You bore our host

with your lack of understanding.

MARINA: I was only going to

say how much more I loved you.

You disappoint me.

I'm sorry.

Out of my sight, I need a moment with Luc.

You better go after her.

Creepy.

Okay you've got one moment.

Why am I surrounded with doubt?

I sense you understand.

Such a burden caring for disbelievers around me.

Right okay you know what you seem a lot better to me.

Come on let's go.

You are a woman of intensity and purpose.

Yet you struggle with your doubt.

You strive for clarity in search of the cluster.

Pardon?

Please your father, find the key to the cluster.

Exactly what cluster are you talking about?

You have an important quest.

I too have a quest.

Perhaps we have a common purpose to be discovered.

What's wrong? My head the pain.

Let me see, hold on let me look at it.

Come on let me see.

Knowledge and love before salvation.

Feel the power of Vahootie.

What have you done?

Don't worry your question will be answered

and your purpose will become clear.

In the name of the living Vahootie, I have come to save you.

(dramatic music)

Cults frequently offer a simple solution

to peoples problems, their appeal lies

in the allusion of perfection that the leader creates,

an illusion that even the leader himself

believes even as he manufactures it.

What now?

PERCY: Thought you could use some help,

and some handcuffs, no offense.

You're gonna have to get up now.

Where are you taking me?

Don't worry I'm not gonna convert you

to free will or anything like that.

You want to believe in Vahootie that's your business.

Did you leave him with her?

Luc, yeah I guess I did.

Come on let's go.

Well maybe I can go back now.

Or maybe let's go.

There see you made my day, look at that.

Welcome sister, Vahootie's knowledge

and salvation is well within your grasp.

LUCRETIA: Is Vahootie really the one?

The one you're looking for?

Yes he is.

The others are mere idols.

Answer me this.

Are you fulfilled?

Are you happy the way your life has gone?

I sometimes feel like I've done something wrong,

like I've let others make decisions for me, I do doubt.

Because you're wasting your time bounty hunting,

a profession for jackals and carrion eaters.

No that's not it.

There's something else I'm supposed to be doing, gathering.

Being a cop is destroying your soul.

You seek greater recognition.

No no.

Yes, I can give you that.

Join in Vahootie's loving embrace.

Vahootie knows and loves me.

You will be saved.

You will be a key member of my inner sanctum, even a bride.

No, I need to think.

No.

Think only of Vahootie and all your needs will be met.

What did you do to me?

I have given you what you've longed for.

(dramatic music)

Faith.

(babbling)

Hey Jacob.

Hey Jacob?

I only hope they broadcast you at leaders execution.

That aught to convert a few souls.

(babbling)

Vahootie is the word, Vahootie is the god.

Vahootie is the word (babbling)

Luc why isn't he in his cell?

No no he's not ready, he needs to rest.

He can rest in his cell.

Nevermind sister it's okay.

When did she become your sister?

I think this Luc has always had a need of greater power.

Isn't that right my child?

My child?

Luc what's wrong with you?

Are you falling for his line of crap?

You've never understood my need for answers.

Brother 13, he knows.

That she seeks knowledge and love.

With that will come salvation.

Praise Vahootie.

Yes.

Luc Vahootie's not god.

God would not send his children to kill themselves would he?

Vahootie is not god.

I feel nothing but sadness hearing these words from you.

Vahootie loves even those who deny him.

I think he can really help you Dante.

I think he's really helping me.

I will pray for you captain.

Save your prayers.

Luc you're confined to quarters

'til we get to the Mercury Base

you understand, that's an order.

Go on Luc, you need time for contemplation,

to banish all doubt, and strengthen your faith.

Vahootie wishes you to go.

(dramatic music)

What the hell did you do to her?

It's better if you choose.

If not Vahootie will choose you.

What did you do to her?

Let me go you son of a bitch.

Answer me.

(dramatic music)

Vahootie gave me more power than you could ever dream of.

I read minds, I help people find their true path.

They believe in what I tell them to believe.

You undo what you've done to Luc

or you're not making it to the Mercury Base brother.

I performed a rejuvenation of faith on Luc.

And I can do the same thing to you.

You won't be the first prisoner I've lost pal.

I have offered salvation to hundreds of souls.

I could use a ship like yours to save even more.

Your pathetic little quest doesn't offer you much.

I can read your mind, I can see your child, your son.

Your days are known by your lost son.

But he doesn't even remember what you look like.

(dramatic music)

(groaning in pain)

He'll remember me.

JACOB: Please you may not touch the holy one.

DANTE: If he's the holy one I'm Santa Claus.

You resist recognizing my power

even though you witnessed it.

You don't need special powers

to read someone's family record.

I was a prisoner of war,

tormented for a lifetime or so it seemed.

The experience gave me great clarity in vision.

I can communicate faith and salvation with my bare hands.

Really?

(groaning in pain)

Bullshit.

Through suffering comes clarity.

This is what I imparted to sister Luc

during her rejuvenation.

Rejuvenation my ass, the only power you have is lies.

Like the lies you used to send those people to their death.

It was not to their death,

but to eternal life into the heart of Vahootie,

blessed and joy for evermore.

If it's so great why did you escape?

You call this escape?

To remain in this evil universe?

I relinquish my claim to the bliss Vahootie offered.

I made the greatest sacrifice of all.

I came back to this side to save others

so others may know Vahootie.

My mission continues.

Then your mission is to rejuvenate

lost souls and then send them to their death?

Blasphemer!

You insult the holy one.

I will kill you.

You're both nuts.

You can rot in here for all I care.

I'm powerless in here.

I fell myself weakening.

I need more faith.

Please help me.

More faith.

You trivialize my pain.

I have doubt.

Share your great strength with me.

Right now!

Damn your selfishness!

You've failed in your duty to me.

I deny your faith 'cause you use it like a crutch.

It's in sister Luc's hands.

Words are like fire in my mind.

Brother, father, savior, sister.

My true calling is, I used to know.

I used to know.

God damn cult prophet.

Luc, how are you feeling Luc?

Are you alright?

Cancel your privacy mode Luc.

Caravaggio override the privacy mode please.

Car where the hell is she?

CARAVAGGIO: Luc is presently on the A deck.

(dramatic music)

So do you like Billy Toonani though?

Who's Billy Toonani?

Who's Billy Toonani?

He's only the coolest singer in the whole wide universe.

False idol worship is wrong.

Right well I guess you would know.

So why don't you tell me about your wacky husband.

Is he your first boyfriend?

Oh of course, I was raised and kept

in a perfect state according to the word of Vahootie.

Cool, you're written way.

You should take your virginity seriously.

I'm not a virgin.

Oh hi Percy

Hey whoa.

Watcha doing with that big sharp pointy thing?

Do you believe in Vahootie?

Why you asking me that?

It's a question at demands an answer.

It is?

Vahootie is the one true god.

There is no other, am I right?

Are you nuts or something?

I think what Luke is trying to say

is that there is no other God than Vahootie, amen.

What the hell was that?

You can't argue, not after Brother 13

has performed a rejuvenation of faith.

I don't think that Luc would fall for that mumbo jumbo.

But she might fall for Brother 13.

He's got a way, he puts his hands on you

and it's like you can see right into you.

I have heard of that.

You haven't heard it from Brother 13.

If he takes Luc as his wife I'll be a failure.

I'll want to kill myself.

(dramatic music)

I miss everybody.

I just wish I'd have stayed on the ark.

Just be glad you're alive.

Stay away from that scum sucking husband of yours.

We're not really married.

Commitment issues.

I don't question the words of the prophet.

He prefers it that way.

But I do think that we should worship some higher power.

Don't you?

I mean what do you believe in?

Science, music, karma, death, you know.

You see the longer I'm away from Brother 13

the more strange it will seems.

Can I ask you a question?

Your wifely duties, was that like group stuff?

Well sometimes men do think they

have a certain power that translates.

Is that a yes?

Percy, what are you do doing with her?

I'm guarding my prisoner.

She belongs in a holding cell with her old man.

She's okay.

What do you mean she's okay?

The magician's trick wore off?

How long does it take?

When was the last time you were rejuvenated?

Answer.

I don't know?

A month ago. maybe longer.

A month, I want all these crazies off my ship now.

Why is it my prisoners fault?

Alright, alright alright good she's your prisoner

but you're responsible for her, keep her on the bridge.

No one gets in except me okay?

Thank you.

Hey hey what about Luc?

Luc stays off, that's an order.

(dramatic music)

Oh I think we have a situation.

JACOB: Praise him in 1000 ways, praise him.

Enough of your damn praise.

Now would you be so kind as to

let me out of this vile place?

There's still so much I don't know about Vahootie.

How did he come to be?

We'll work together in discovering the answers you seek.

So often it comes from within.

Now, give Jacob back his knife.

(dramatic music)

This ship will do as our new sanctuary.

More decrepit than the ark but

the hour will be it will server our followers well.

You will educate Jacob in piloting the ship.

Our first stop will be the moon.

I have many souls seeking an understanding in salvation.

And I believe I will take the captains quarters.

Jacob we need assistance.

Sister Luc will help you gain your rightful place.

Give him your gun.

Give in your gun, Vahootie commands it.

Hold it right there.

Luc give me your gun, over here please.

He's an outsider, an enemy.

He doesn't know what you know.

Shut up!

Kill him.

(dramatic music)

Okay Caravaggio where are they?

CARAVAGGIO: Dante and Luc are in

the holding cell area with the two prisoners.

(dramatic music)

Put that down.

I'm the chosen wife of Brother 13

and I must help him in his time of need.

Don't know how stupid you look.

I'm sorry I've got to get him out.

(gun clicks)

Oh but you have no bullets.

(dramatic music)

Luc look at me.

Now think about what you're doing because I will shoot you.

Salvation will come from recognizing your calling.

Kill him!

(gun fires)

Let her go.

You're making a big mistake pal.

(gun fires)

Nice shot.

Hello.

Don't even think about it stupid.

Praise Vahootie who saved me from myself,

from the temptation of violence.

Shut your god damn mouth.

Luc, you can go back to your quarters now.

Everything's okay, go on.

Go on.

(dramatic music)

Come on let's go, watch your step.

There you go.

Well gentlemen they're all yours, thank Vahootie.

Save thyself preacher.

CARAVAGGIO: Incoming.

You know it's my nature not to give out compliments.

Cuts against every grain of my being.

Don't let it go to your head, no slacking off.

I go to hand it to you Montana.

This was a nice piece of work here.

Was that a compliment?

It might have been.

With the bounty we're getting for this fanatic

I think I might find you some more work.

Good, well done.

Give me the gun.

(dramatic music)

Feeling any better?

So was I brainwashed or what?

I don't know he had some line of shit

about being able to read minds.

When he touched me I felt something, something happened.

The story on Brother 13 is that

he actually did get some kind of

special powers of insight after extreme trauma.

Not extreme enough.

He was a POW on Callisto during the Civil War.

Did he tell you that?

PERCY: No I read his records.

Oh.

So what do you think is it safe to let you out?

You gonna try to kill us or anything?

No, it's alright.

You sure?

Yep.

(contemplative music)

So thanks Percy.

Forget it.

If I were a charismatic leader how would I use my influence?

Would I use it for goodness or for badness?

Car could we get the hell out of here please?

CARAVAGGIO: Yes captain.

Some would say Percy, start by redecorating.

But I say no, my powers are better put to use.

That's enough.

Yes many fear the truly great leaders.

Locate Brother 13 of the Church of Omega,

prisoner dinner Callisto Civil War.

May have had contact with Novak.

Brother 13 might have been influenced

by the Divinity Cluster, consider him dangerous father.

End transmission.

(dramatic music)

Know the power of your true path.

Feel the faith that flows through me.

(dramatic music)

NARRATOR: On the next Starhunter.

Percy what did you?

What?

Back up.

You know what family means.

How important it is to protect them.

What's the job?

(groaning in pain)

I'd make myself useful by busting us out of here.

Let's go get Percy.

I swear!

WOMAN: Stupid liar!

I know a way to open the fields

without tripping the alarm.

(dramatic music)
