(ominous music)

Dante Montana, been a long time.

Not long enough, Rex.

God, you get cuter with age.

You ain't poachin' this prisoner, Rex.

If you're lucky that's all I'll do.

Percy, head back to the Tulip, do the pre-flight, please.

No, not that one, she'll stay

in case we need to convince you.

Is that heavy breathing I hear, Dante?

Tell 'em to drop it or I'll blow your head off, Rex.

(kicks thudding)

(man grunting)

Back up, back up, pretty boy.

(Dante groaning)

Drop it, drop it.

REX: We're saving you a trip to the Nereid prison.

Yeah, as if the HMS Crap could make it in one trip.

(gun firing) (man grunting)

I hate it when they diss the Tulip.

Percy, what did you...

What?

All he had was stun rounds.

He'll live.

Aren't you an Amazon?

Bite me.

Let's get the hell outta here, huh?

It's the little one.

Such brutality in one so young.

The three of us were just leaving.

Assault on a member of the Oberon militia is a felony.

Sure, whatever you say, pal.

REX: Her name is Percy Montana.

Percy Montana, you're under arrest for assault

on a public law enforcement officer.

Wait. Surrender your weapon.

There was no assault.

We were hijacked by these half-assed bounty hunters

trying to take our prisoner.

We acted in self-defense.

And, now we're leaving with our prisoner that's all.

Yeah, we strongly encourage you to leave, Mr. Montana.

You take that one with you.

The girl stays.

DANTE: She's innocent and she's leaving with me.

An assault on a member of the Oberon militia

carries an automatic sentence of five years.

DANTE: There's no member of the militia here.

REX: I knew it would come in handy

when we signed up (chuckles).

DANTE: What do you want, credits?

That won't make any difference here, Mr. Montana.

So, she bribed you already.

Luc, we have to give up our prisoner.

We're not interested in swapping prisoners.

We'll take the one we've got.

Have you seen the Oberon prisons, Montana?

State of the art.

I do believe they allow family visits, once a month.

Contingent on the good behavior of the prisoner (laughs).

Don't leave me here.

Dante.

(ominous music)

(adventurous music)

(guns firing)

(ominous music)

Luc, tell Car I need all the information there is

on Oberon penal system.

LUC: I got it.

Hey, how many credits do you have?

Never mind, just ship 'em all down here to me with Perseus.

LUC: All right.

Should be somebody down here I can bribe.

LUC: Are they gonna let you in to see her?

I don't know, Luc.

You know I brought her down here for a simple pick up,

just to get her off the ship and then this has to happen.

LUC: Do you want me to call Rudolpho?

No.

LUC: I was just thinking that if we need more credits...

Yeah, I know and I was just thinking

that somebody set us up and until I'm sure

it wasn't Rudolpho I don't want you contacting him,

do you understand?

LUC: Dante--

Get back to me when you have what I need.

(ominous music)

Caravaggio.

CARAVAGGIO: Where are Percy and Dante?

LUC: Gimme a reason.

Caravaggio!

What do you know about the Oberon penal system?

CARAVAGGIO: Everything.

LUC: Isolate information on assault on militia.

CARAVAGGIO: I believe that's frowned upon.

What did Dante do?

Also I need you to isolate information on bribery

of law enforcement officials.

Walk on!

CARAVAGGIO: On Oberon Space Station

bribery is definitely not frowned upon.

Local government is one of the most corrupt

in the solar system.

In a recent Vidric Graham standards report, in fact,

Oberon was rated third.

Get me the names of officials at the Oberon Space Station

court and prison.

There is no such thing as an Oberon court.

Local police are authorized to sentence criminals.

I've met the local police, it's too much power for them.

DANTE: Excuse me.

(console bleeping)

CONSOLE: Welcome to the Justice Offices

of Oberon Space Station.

How may I help you?

I'd like to speak with Percy Montana.

CONSOLE: Prisoner Percy Montana, status unavailable.

Status unavailable?

Well, who do I speak to about Percy Montana?

CONSOLE: Prisoner Percy Montana, status unavailable.

Next status review in five days.

CARAVAGGIO: The Oberon system is unprecedented,

of course, but democratically enacted.

Saves on the expense of a court system.

Okay, okay, just download all credits right to my card

and skip the civics lessons.

CARAVAGGIO: Well, my telepathic powers

must be malfunctioning.

LUC: Just give me the names of anyone

in the Justice Department I can bribe.

CARAVAGGIO: Would you like the names alphabetically

or listed (drowned out by door clattering)?

While I've got you, perhaps you'll tell me why Percy--

LUC: She's been arrested.

CARAVAGGIO: Didn't return to the ship.

CONSOLE: Welcome to the offices of Oberon Space Station.

How may we help you?

I would like to speak with a human being.

CONSOLE: Would you like to contact a civil aide

or a prisoner?

DANTE: A prisoner.

CONSOLE: Prisoner's name please.

Percy Montana.

CONSOLE: Prisoner Percy Montana, status unavailable.

Have a good day.

LUC: Dante, come in.

What is it, Lu?

Caravaggio says on Oberon a civil aide called Ginger

might be able to help us with Percy's case.

We've downloaded the credits.

It's not a lot, but it might be enough for Ginger.

Great.

I'm on my way back.

No, I need you there.

I need to see her.

Luc, I'll call you if there's any news.

Oh.

CONSOLE: Welcome to the Justice Office on

Oberon Space Station.

How may I help you?

I'd like to speak with Civil Aide Ginger.

CONSOLE: Civil Aide Ginger, status unavailable.

What?

Civil Aide Ginger has stepped out to lunch.

I wanna speak to a human being in the next 30 seconds

or I'm gonna do some serious damage

to your metallic ass.

Sorry.

OFFICER: Your new roommates.

(console beeping)

Back up.

(console beeping)

Now, no touching.

Erica, show the new girl what happens

if you try and cross that line.

Can't you count?

There's no room for another girl here.

Erica will give up her bed for Miss Montana.

That's all right with you, isn't it Erica?

I don't wanna put anyone out.

No problem.

These two don't mind sharing.

DANTE: What the hell do you want from me?

You know what a pleasure it is to work with you, Montana.

To see someone so resourceful?

So, passionate.

I've got a little job for you.

A little job your husband couldn't handle.

You know what family means, how important it is

to be with the people you love.

To take good care of them.

And, to protect them.

What's the job?

Could be a little dangerous (laughs)

(door clattering)

LUC: Where is she?

We're dropping our prisoner at the Nereid first.

LUC: And leaving her there?

What are you talking about?

Caravaggio, how fast can we make it

to the Nereid Penal Colony?

CARAVAGGIO: Where's Percy?

ETA on Nereid, Car.

CARAVAGGIO: 17:45.

Where's Percy?

Why didn't you talk to Ginger, offer her the credits?

Rex owns Ginger.

Hold on.

Why would they want Percy?

To blackmail me.

Rex's brother's doing a life sentence

on Nereid Penal Colony.

She wants me to bust him out.

Car, disengage from Oberon, set a course for Nereid.

(door clattering)

Dante, trying to break a prisoner

out of Nereid is suicide.

If I'd only taken that loser sooner,

maybe we wouldn't be in this situation.

I don't know, maybe I underestimated him, I don't know,

maybe I should have--

Luc, don't beat yourself up.

This whole thing was a setup.

And, why did you let her off the ship?

And, didn't you tell her to get out of there

after they jumped her?

Go down to the main engine room,

run a complete manual diagnostic.

We'll be running the engines to full power.

I wanna be sure that all pumps

and (drowned out by doors clattering) has been checked

and double checked.

Do it now.

Fine, if I don't get us killed.

I don't know these engines like she does.

Nobody knows the engines like Percy.

(ominous music)

The last chick who shared a cell with us is dead now.

That's awful.

Did she kill herself 'cause you're too ugly to look at?

So, what are you in for?

Murder.

That's crap.

(ominous music)

Maximum security facility Nereid Penal Colony 7709.

86.7% of prisoners incarcerated for violent crimes

and classified as dangerous.

It's the most dangerous prison facility

in the known universe.

CARAVAGGIO: 20% of Nereid's prisoners are killed

in accidents there each year.

Well, we had to drop off our prisoner there anyway.

Yeah, sure, land, drop him off

and get the hell out of there.

Well, now we're gonna land, drop him off,

break someone out, and then get the hell out of there.

Two years ago there was a riot at Nereid.

The worst in history, I saw the newscast.

I think Nereid's had several attempted breakouts

in the past few years.

Any successful?

All attempts failed.

All conspirators terminated.

Well, we're trying something different.

Making new friends already, precious?

What are you doing here?

(device beeping)

It's a catalog, honey.

Catalog of what?

There are some places, my dear,

still have a certain type of trade.

It's very underground, but it's big business.

They'll pay a lot for a healthy young thing like you.

You can work hard and you're very cute.

And, that'll mean a little extra than the going rate.

Well, that's enough to go on.

I've plenty of interested buyers already.

You don't scare me.

Oh yes, you are frightened and you should be.

Why, because you say so?

Yes, that's right.

You see your uncle is doing a little errand for me.

And, he won't be coming back alive.

So, you won't be coming home again, my dear.

(ominous music)

Since no one is paying attention to me,

I feel I must reiterate that this map is frightfully

out of date and can't be depended upon.

We heard you the first time, Caravaggio.

Nereid's outdated computer is gonna work to our advantage.

It should help to get you in, but after that...

Rex's brother, Goran, runs the X ward

to help us in the prison.

I just have to find some way to get my ass thrown in there.

I don't like it.

You know how they treat new prisoners.

Do you have a better plan?

I won't leave you in there.

Since nobody asked, I thought you might want to

get a look at the guy you plan to spring.

Sentenced to three life terms on Nereid

for the torture and murder of an ambassador

and his family.

Hmm, that's what Rex meant

by a political prisoner I guess.

Why does she want Goran out?

They're family.

LUC: She never struck me as the sentimental type.

DANTE: She isn't.

(eerie music)

(device beeping)

OFFICER: Come on, come on.

(Erica crying) (Erica mumbling)

CARAVAGGIO: Data successfully sent.

They're expecting male prisoner, Dante Montana,

two counts of murder.

Now, you're the only son of a bitch who can rat me out.

So, if you say one word...

(punch thudding)

I'll make sure you never make it out of here alive.

Now, on the other hand,

if you keep your mouth shut,

I'll get your sentence reduced.

(slap smacking)

Understand?

You got it?

I got it.

Ready? Ready.

(dramatic music) (cuffs beeping)

Erica, you can have your bed back.

Stay cool, she's got three more months.

Uh, how do you take that?

I'd kill him.

JOY: Sure, no problem, after that

we usually send out for pizza.

I'm sorry.

JOY: Just shut up.

This is prisoner 9046 from the Oberon Space Station.

And, prisoner 2227 from Titan.

I thought you only had the one.

LUC: Well, you know Scott's two for one special.

Why didn't the Titan authorities let us know

about this other guy?

I don't know, they told me you'd be expecting him.

Typical.

Titan bureaucracy, yuck.

(device beeping)

You know if I have to take this guy back,

I'll never work for these guys again.

Yeah, sure.

Here, you're official.

Welcome to Nereid.

(device beeping)

Steel toes.

(men grunting)

Thinks he's a tough guy.

I'll put him in X ward (laughs).

Take the little guy put him in there too.

Couple more days you'll eat.

(eerie music)

(prisoners shouting)

COLONEL: Hey.

(gun firing)

You're going in the hole, loser.

You too.

Pick 'em up and take 'em down.

(ominous music)

Okay you made it in, let me see you keep moving, Dante.

(engine chugging)

DANTE: You're in my seat.

(prisoner grunting) (prisoner coughing)

That son of a bitch isn't gonna last two minutes.

Come on, get up.

PRISONER: You go to hell.

DANTE: Stand up, defend yourself.

PRISONER: He's too big for me.

Put your fists up and defend yourself.

PRISONER: I can't.

(punches thudding) (prisoners grunting)

You wanna tell our new friend here

about the day you got this?

She's not interested.

JOY: That's her problem.

She can't see what's right under her nose.

Initiation.

What?

ERICA: Get her, get her.

Scar, scar.

JOY: Hit her.

(punch thudding)

ERICA: How does that feel?

PERCY: Get off me.

Get off me.

ERICA: Shut up.

It'll only hurt for a few weeks.

JOY: This way, you'll have something to remember us by

when they cart you off to some massage parlor on the moon.

Well, wait, I can get us out of here.

JOY: Stupid liar.

I swear.

I work on a ship with electronics all the time.

I know a way to open the field without tripping the alarm.

ERICA: How stupid do you think we are?

JOY: If you're lying, pretty girl,

it won't be just your arm we shove through here.

Caravaggio, any change?

Tracking device remains stationary.

Damn, this is taking too long.

I'm going down there.

CARAVAGGIO: Oh wait, I've got something.

Is he ready?

Is it the signal?

No, but he's moving again.

I knew this was a bad plan.

He could be in a body bag for all I know.

PERCY: Who's that?

JOY: Paddy.

Paddy or Patty?

Paddy.

PERCY: Hey, Paddy.

What?

I need to borrow your Billy Tsunami unit.

(laughs) She thinks she's going to a party.

I haven't got any such thing.

Must be pretty smart to get that smuggled in here.

Smarter than you.

Listen, just give it to me.

Yeah, what's in it for me?

I'm gonna help us escape.

Sure, forget it.

Fine, you're listening to his old release anyway.

New one's much better.

♫ Rock it baby

Paddy, let her see the unit.

I'll get you back next week when my brother comes in.

He'll sneak in some cool stuff.

I'll give you first pick.

Okay, slide it over.

Over here.

Ah, I need the earpiece, too.

Paddy couldn't hit the floor with a loogie

if his life depended on it.

Well, is it wrecked, or what?

I don't know.

Well, can you still turn it off with that?

Oh yeah.

You'd better make it work.

Fail to keep your promises around here and (buzzes).

Yeah, I think they call that a call a two-arm defense.

(eerie music)

GORAN: Enough nothing, get up.

I'm Goran.

Uh huh.

Think you're a lone wolf, huh?

I didn't come in here to make friends.

If your sentence is longer than a week,

and you wanna get out alive,

you better change your attitude.

You held your own pretty well over there.

I bet you told your goons to do their best.

Ah, it's my responsibility to get to know the new guys.

Guards only come in when someone dies.

You're doing a wonderful job.

Ah, you'll learn to appreciate it.

Meanwhile, don't screw with me.

Thanks for the advice.

I'm offering you my protection.

I don't want it.

See in this place, you're either with me or against me.

So, let's talk about what you're gonna do for me.

Just make yourself useful and thing'll go smooth for you.

(punch thudding)

(Goran groaning)

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

(ominous music)

I wanna be your girlfriend.

Otherwise they get to decide who.

Okay.

Can rest here for tonight, okay?

Okay, I got this set up so that I can send

electrical signal through the wall into the key unit

on the other side.

Wall's not the greatest conductor in the world,

but it should be enough to mimic a signal

of their electric key.

Whoa, boy, mmm.

Okay.

We're really lucky that this is a programmable unit

because I'm able to send multiple signals,

sequences of random numbers that

will hopefully, eventually match their key.

Okay.

Are you guys following me?

Hey, let's go.

Speed it up.

PERCY: You have to wait, I told you.

It might have to go through a lot of numbers.

ERICA: Or you're just buying time.

You in?

My partner's gonna be here first thing in the morning.

So?

So, are you ready?

Rest, it's a piss poor plan you got there.

It'll never work.

I got better things to do than mess with you

bating the guards.

But, I won't stop you from trying.

See how you do.

DANTE: Forget that.

You're gonna force me to make a run for it?

DANTE: If I have to, yeah.

Stupid.

Soon as the guards see you're gonna make a break,

they're gonna shoot you.

It's gonna happen.

I just wanna be out of the line of fire when it does.

Okay, now look, Goran, I told you how it works, right?

You make it sound so easy.

Too easy.

Did you ever think of that?

Great, I'll tell Rex you like it in here.

You enjoy leading this little freak show.

You enjoy your pick of all the pretty boys, huh?

Just give her a kiss for me.

It'll make her day.

You know, I don't think you could make it on the outside.

She told me you were a real bad ass.

Ah, she looks up to her big brother.

I bet.

Look at you, sitting there shaking in your little booties

like some jailhouse punk.

Don't waste my time.

Are you gonna come with me or not?

What's my sister got over you?

Is it just money or is it something else?

DANTE: Let's just say I'm not leaving without you, Goran.

Well, maybe you'll just never leave here.

Did you ever think of that?

(device beeping)

That's it?

I told you you have to wait.

(field whirring)

Ah.

Don't oh.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, stop.

Don't.

We can't just go storming out.

JOY: So, what do we do?

You walk like a snail.

Follow me.

Think motion detectors.

JOY: Motion detectors.

Motion detectors.

Our deal is off.

DANTE: What's your problem, huh?

What's my problem?

I'm not gonna last five years in here.

I won't even last five days.

Keep it down, keep it down

or we won't have a chance in hell.

I don't care.

You don't understand.

You have to get me out.

I can't stay in here and get beat every day

or shanked or worse.

All right, I'll try to arrange some protection for you

when I'm gone, okay?

Oh, don't gimme that crap.

I know you're breaking out of here.

Take me with you.

Now listen, I said keep it down, do you understand me?

If you won't help me, I'm gonna talk to the guards.

They'll be happy to know what I know about you.

Ratting on me is not gonna get you anywhere.

What the hell's the matter with you.

PRISONER: I'll take my chances.

I got nothing to lose.

Shut up, you jackass, you'll get us both killed.

I don't care.

Take me with you or I'm gonna call the guards.

(prisoner groaning)

Surprise you, did I?

I guess that means you're coming with me, huh?

(eerie music)

Hey, when are you guys gonna get me out of here?

Just wait until we get the gate.

You think I'm stupid.

Shut up.

(alarm blaring)

Damn it.

(guns firing)

Hold your fire.

I've still got uses for that one.

I need her alive.

(ominous music)

Okay, let's (mumbles).

(console beeping)

Scott Two with Nereid Penal Colony?

Yeah.

LUC: Look guys, I've got a problem.

Yeah?

I ran a routine blood test on those prisoners

I picked up.

I forgot to check the results before I gave 'em to you.

COLONEL: Yeah?

LUC: Prisoner 7727, that Montana guy,

he's got hepatitis mutation strain 57.

(laughs) No kidding.

Yeah, you know, my lab equipment's not that great,

but you know.

(laughs) He goes on kitchen duty tomorrow.

Hope he don't got no open wounds dripping into the soup.

Yeah, yeah, so, you know, I guess I'll come get him

and transfer him to the quarantine facility on Triton.

Lemme check.

We're not gonna release him.

What?

No, that 57's not on the list.

He's here to stay.

Look, they've offered me a bonus

if I bring Montana in to quarantine.

They've got a doc there who will add him

to his research, you know.

COLONEL: Sorry.

Okay look, I'm gonna land.

Need to talk to your boss.

Suit yourself.

I mean, what's it to you?

It's one less freak for you to babysit, am I right?

I want a cut.

Of what, the quarantine fee?

Sure, you can take him for a cut.

80-20.

50-50.

LUC: That's robbery.

That's the deal, up front.

Caravaggio, download 100,000 credits to my PHI.

100,000?

It's half the quarantine fee.

Medical research money flows like water.

My prisoner?

(adventurous music)

Oy, Montana.

DANTE: What do you want?

I see you're having lots of fun here,

but I've got a contract to transport you

to a medical prison facility.

Medical prison, for what?

LUC: Hepatitis 57.

What are you trying to pull, bounty hunter?

I tested you myself, remember?

He's got hepatitis?

What's it to you?

Get lost.

Or is this your new boyfriend?

You know better than that, sweetheart.

I shared a needle with him.

COLONEL: (laughs) Good try.

Hey, what about me, what medicine do I need?

Immunize me.

Little late for that.

For you too.

Hey, she says I got hep 57 and she's gonna leave me

in this stinking hole.

Yeah, I caught it from him.

I stay and you guys are next.

(door clattering)

(prisoners shouting)

Get him out of here.

Shut up.

Looks like you got a riot on your hand there, Colonel.

Half stage hep 57 mutates after it's been in the body

after a few weeks.

And, then you've got to deal with airborne transmission.

All he's got to do is breathe on somebody.

Yeah, but I think it's an L stage right now,

but if this guy's really infected, oh I know,

in a month or two it's gonna be

all over the place, terrible, oh.

(prisoners shouting)

So far so good.

Easy for you to say.

Hey, Scott.

LUC: What?

What about this other guy?

LUC: What about him?

Look, can't you take him off my hands?

I mean, he's sick too, right?

Well, he will be pretty soon

Come on.

Well, what about that medical research money?

Won't it be another 200,000 if you brought him in, too?

Yes, I suppose you'd want half again.

Well, it's only fair.

Oh, yeah okay.

But, you cuff that scummer before you bring him to me.

Go.

(door clattering)

Here you go.

Now, where's my credit?

Well, I haven't been paid for this guy yet.

I can't advance you that kinda money.

COLONEL: Like you're going to come back with it?

I will have it transferred as soon as I drop the guy off.

That's not good enough.

Look, what do you want me to do, pal?

They won't release the money to you.

You have to be a registered bounty hunter.

You know what, forget about it, take him then.

I've got places to be.

He could be your problem.

(Dante coughing)

You can have him, but I've got your number, Scott,

and I got people I can send after you to collect.

Look, the bounty on this guy is found money

for both of us.

I mean, gonna send you the money.

Okay.

Okay.

(door clattering)

What do you know, a guard who is dumber

than your average fish.

Let's go get Percy.

There we go.

(Luc chuckles)

Yuck, look at that jerk.

Certainly not doing society a favor by springing that one.

Hey, do you think Rex told Percy?

Sending us to the most dangerous prison in the universe

to bust out a murdering--

Scum sucker.

She sure would.

So, do we deliver Goran, retrieve Percy,

and leave it at that?

No, I didn't think so.

Well, Luc, we're on such a roll, why don't we find out

why Rex really wanted her brother sprung?

Car, get me everything you can

on the family that Goran killed, the ambassador's family.

In just a few short hours, I'll have my brother back

in the bosom of my family.

And, an opulent bosom it is.

Goran will be so happy to be out of that hell hole,

he'll cut us in without any argument this time.

If the idiot doesn't forget where he stashed it all.

He'll have to remember.

Or he'll go back?

Or he'll go back.

Your own brother.

My own brother.

You evil, evil woman.

She was my only friend.

I'm sorry, okay, I'm sorry.

Not sorry enough.

But, you will be.

I will kill you and it's just what you deserve.

You do know there's only one of you now, right?

(punch thudding) (Joy grunting)

JOY: Who do you think you are?

(kick thudding) (Joy grunting)

PERCY: Shut up already.

REX: Where's my brother?

Where's my niece?

You mean she's not here waiting for me?

What a surprise.

She's still in prison.

We couldn't get her--

Yeah, I know, there was a paperwork mix up.

I'll tell you what, you go get my niece.

When I see her, I'll have Luc bring out your brother.

REX: You wait here.

(Joy groaning)

PERCY: Stupid idiot.

Come here.

Come here.

Go ahead, burn me.

Get up.

That's my property you're messing with.

(Joy shouting)

(ominous music)

(Dante chuckling)

All right, I got her.

(ominous music)

They got you out.

Dumb luck.

OFFICER: Ready to pick up where we left off, Goran?

You look good.

(Percy laughs)

Hold it right there.

We're not quite finished here.

Deja vu, Montana.

You're under arrest for assisting

in the escape of a prisoner.

What's the sentence for that?

For you, 15 years.

What the f--

Easy money.

It's the only reason anybody would wanna see your

butt ugly face, Goran.

So, on the way in, I notified these gentlemen.

Reminded them there was three million in art and jewelry

missing from the ambassadorship.

I knew they could do the math.

(Dante chuckles)

(dramatic music)

Well, I never thought I'd be happy to eat this crap.

You didn't like the prison food?

I didn't like the company.

(upbeat music)

Okay, can you guys stop staring at me for two seconds?

Well Perc, at least you know what life

on the other side of the bars is like.

Oh yeah.

Can I have a lecture on life's valuable experiences in jail?

Later.

'Cause I learned a thing or two you might wanna know.

DANTE: I don't know about you,

but I kinda liked the prison food.

LUC: Don't you like this, I made it.

DANTE: Well, it's just that in prison

it was easier to find the hair in it.

(adventurous music)
