MAN: Enista!

[Inhales]

[Grunting]

[Laughing]

SASHA: Come on, come on.

[Laughing]

[Grunting]

[Distorted Music]

MAN: Sasha.

Sasha.

Buddy.

Wake up, are you okay?

[Laughing]

[Coughing]

[Ringing]

[Opening Theme Music]

[Spaceship Humming]

[Snoring]

[Sighs]

RUDOLPHO: Bloody bugs?

[Laughing]

RUDOLPHO: Oh ha, ha, very funny, yeah.

Ain't you two got anything better to do?

CARAVAGGIO: I have an incoming message.

Public frequency, real-time message from Titan City.

Person to person, charges pending,

only on successful contact.

TRAVIS: Somebody's on a budget.

Put it through, Car.

CARAVAGGIO: The message is for your father, Dante.

TRAVIS: Dante? Who's the contact?

CARAVAGGIO: The name is Mr. Roan Gerick.

A drug related murder of one Sasha Gerick, his son.

TRAVIS: Put it through.

ROAN: Is this the Tulip?

TRAVIS: It is, you're Mr. Gerick?

ROAN: Oh, I thought I made this clear

that this was person to person with Dante Montana.

TRAVIS: Yeah, well, he's not here.

ROAN: Who are you?

TRAVIS: My name's Travis.

ROAN: Travis? TRAVIS: Yeah.

ROAN: But you were lost.

TRAVIS: And now I'm found.

ROAN: That's your father's sense of humor.

TRAVIS: I'm sorry, I have no idea who you are.

ROAN: Oh, my late wife and I were friends with your parents.

I held you on the day you were born, Travis.

Look, where can I find Dante?

TRAVIS: I'm afraid we don't know.

He was lost in hyperspace.

ROAN: Well, I was hoping he could help me.

Ah, hell, maybe you can.

Look, I don't have much money,

but I need to find the people

who were responsible for murdering my son.

[Spaceship Humming]

[Whooshing]

CALLISTA: Rudolpho's right, 20,000 credits

for a drug case is nuts.

TRAVIS: Could you repeat that.

CALLISTA: 20,000 credits is--

TRAVIS: No, no, no, the first part.

I could have sworn I heard you say Rudolpho's right.

CALLISTA: Yeah, well 20,000 should just about pay

for the shuttle there and back.

TRAVIS: Look, it's his son.

It's all he can afford.

Put yourself in his shoes.

CALLISTA: Drug cases are sinkholes.

We shouldn't be taking his money, then.

TRAVIS: So now you're suggesting we do this for free?

Make your mind up.

CALLISTA: So you were born in Titan City.

Gonna show me the old neighborhood?

TRAVIS: Afraid not.

Saturn Fed tore it down when the Raiders moved in.

CALLISTA: What's there now?

TRAVIS: I don't know.

CALLISTA: Never been back?

TRAVIS: No. CALLISTA: Why not?

TRAVIS: Look, there's nothing for me to see, okay?

CALLISTA: Okay, thanks for sharing.

[Sighs]

[Whooshing]

CALLISTA: The files you sent said that your son's death

was drug related.

Something called enista?

ROAN: Nobody had heard of it six months ago.

It's a kind of super pain killer.

Makes you think you're indestructible.

It's extremely dangerous.

TRAVIS: Obviously.

ROAN: Would you walk with me?

There's something I'd like you to see.

[Drilling]

MARCUS: You ever feel like you're wasting your life?

Huh?

Like the whole universe is just passing you by.

You know, when I left the Raiders,

I was expecting a better future than this.

Thought I was gonna have fun.

Adventure, do you know what I mean?

Percy!

I'm talking to you.

RUDOLPHO: What are you two up to?

PERCY: Wasting our lives.

RUDOLPHO: Travis and Callie call in?

MARCUS: Nope.

RUDOLPHO: 20,000 credits.

We might as well be delivering mail.

Gotta get a real job.

ROAN: Sasha was a good kid.

I mean there was nothing much going on here

on the fringes of Titan City until this.

And then this is new.

That's Captain Dalyat.

She's the investigating officer in Sasha's death.

CALLISTA: Looks like she caught another one.

TRAVIS: How'd you know she'd be here.

ROAN: It's the Eastern row, she's always here.

DALYAT: Garick, how are you doing?

ROAN: Good, good.

Captain Dalyat, this is Travis Montana

and Callie Larkadia, they're bounty hunters.

I've hired them on behalf of Sasha.

DALYAT: Well, that's certainly your right.

I assume you both have credentials?

TRAVIS: Mr. Garick, Callie's gonna take you back home.

Look for anything that might help us to know where to start.

DALYAT: Sasha and his friend died in a thrill fight.

They both took some enista, beat each other to death,

that is the whole story here.

TRAVIS: Not disputing that.

DALYAT: Well then, why are you here?

You're preying on their wounds.

TRAVIS: Mr. Garick said that nobody heard of

enista six months ago, now it's everywhere.

Saturn cops haven't seemed any closer

to busting the people who brought it here.

DALYAT: So we must not be doing our job, then, huh?

TRAVIS: Not saying that.

DALYAT: Look, I've got 17 enista-related

deaths a day here, Mr. Montana.

The truth is, we just can't cope.

TRAVIS: Then tell me how I can help.

[Spaceship Humming]

RUDOLPHO: Caravaggio, scan the files.

Scare us up some work, please.

CARAVAGGIO: At your request.

CALLISTA: You say everything was normal

until a couple months ago?

ROAN: Less.

He changed real quick.

It's the drug.

CALLISTA: Did he have any new friends?

ROAN: Not that I knew about.

CALLISTA: Is this Sasha?

ROAN: No, no, no, that was taken before he was born.

That's me and Travis.

Travis' mother took that.

How long have you two been together?

CALLISTA: We just work together.

I mean, a couple of months now.

ROAN: So, what's he like?

CALLISTA: Actually, I don't really know him that well.

ROAN: There was a side of Sasha that I didn't know either.

TRAVIS: What does it do, exactly?

DALYAT: Enista's basically a euphoric.

It scrambles all information to the pain centers of the brain.

TRAVIS: Like a neuro block?

DALYAT: No, worse.

The nerves still work, but the body pumps out

massive amounts of dopamine

in response to any pain stimulus.

TRAVIS: So the more they injure themselves,

the better they feel?

Hmm, attractive proposition.

DALYAT: Yes, so we just keep hearing one name, Bliss.

But the dealers are all low-level.

None of them know the picture, they buy blind.

TRAVIS: Well that could work in our favor.

What you need now is an inside man.

DALYAT: Look, I've lost three officers

trying to infiltrate the organization.

TRAVIS: Well, maybe I can help you there.

DALYAT: Mr. Garick doesn't have much money

so he can't be paying you very much.

TRAVIS: Is it possible to get any copies

of any files of the dealers?

Even the low level ones?

Send them onto my ship?

DALYAT: Yeah, I could do that.

What makes you so sure you could help, though?

TRAVIS: I have some experience in this area.

DALYAT: Yeah, so I've heard.

[Tense Music]

[Spaceship Humming]

CARAVAGGIO: It's a legitimate bounty.

The warrant is sworn out

and electronically notarized in triplicate.

RUDOLPHO: It's a divorce action.

If I want to deal with a vindictive sadistic ex,

I've got three of my own to choose from.

MARCUS: What you doing?

RUDOLPHO: I'm trying to free us from Travis' bizarre departure

into pro bono work.

CARAVAGGIO: Ring Shepherd-Nat is relaying a low priority warrant.

MARCUS: You mean you're going behind his back.

RUDOLPHO: I'm just exploring our other options.

How low?

CARAVAGGIO: Identity theft, New Rio City.

The victim is a top barrister and lawyer.

RUDOLPHO: Good luck to him, I say.

CARAVAGGIO: I'm afraid there isn't anything else pending.

MARCUS: So, it looks like we have the time

and it's important to him.

RUDOLPHO: Why?

He hardly knows them.

MARCUS: They're friends of his parents, aren't they.

RUDOLPHO: Marcus, I'm having trouble enough

paying my debts, without taking on free work

for friends of people I've never even met.

Thanks,

but I'm just trying to keep us out of the poor house.

MARCUS: Yeah, well, good luck with that.

RUDOLPHO: Ow!

[Whooshing]

TRAVIS: When you were in Mars Forces,

you knew Frankle, right?

CALLISTA: That's a name I haven't heard in a while, why?

TRAVIS: But you knew him?

CALLISTA [O.C]: Yeah,

we were both grunts in the anti-drug squad.

When I left, he was promoted to head of interdiction.

TRAVIS [O.C]: Mars Anti-drug chief?

Can you re-establish contact with him?

CALLISTA: I can, yeah.

I mean, he was one of the few

who actually backed me but--

TRAVIS: Good, I may need him.

CALLISTA: What for?

TRAVIS: Just a little something I have in mind.

CALLISTA: Did you get any new info

from Garick about your parents?

TRAVIS: You heard what I heard.

CALLISTA: Yeah, not a lot.

TRAVIS: Exactly.

CALLISTA: Titan City dredge up any old memories?

TRAVIS: It's changed a lot.

The Raiders...

CALLISTA: How did you know Frankle worked drugs

on the Mars force?

The Raiders?

Were you involved in the drug trade?

[Tense Music]

ROAN: I don't understand.

DALYAT: I just did a little checking

and I thought you should know.

ROAN: As Travis, it says here--

DAYLAT: He was a Raider, Mr. Garick, for years.

His family, they all--

ROAN: No, no they were not his family.

DALYAT: His clan, then, they terrorized half of Jupiter.

ROAN: He was kidnapped.

DALYAT: And he became one of them.

ROAN: It says drugs here, are you telling me

that he dealt drugs?

DALYAT: I'm saying you don't know him, Mr. Garick.

Look.

I understand how you feel

and I know you'll clutch at any straw.

ROAN: How can you possibly know how I feel?

DALYAT: Because I lost a daughter to drugs too,

Mr. Garick

and I understand the heartache

and the desperation and the need

to catch the bad guys.

But the way I see it,

Travis Montana is one of the bad guys.

[Spaceship Humming]

CALLISTA: Caravaggio, secure channel to Frankle,

Mars Interdiction Division, my quarters.

TRAVIS: See you on the bridge.

MARCUS: Just thought I'd let you know

Rudolpho isn't happy.

TRAVIS: I'm shocked.

MARCUS: He's been fishing around for other cases.

TRAVIS: Is he keeping himself amused?

MARCUS: For now.

TRAVIS: Well, then all's right with the world.

MARCUS: Oh, well, thanks for the heads-up, Marcus.

PERCY: What do you expect me to do with this?

TRAVIS: Run a spectral analysis, molecular makeup.

Anything different about this particular batch.

See if we can use anything to

trace it back to one particular lab.

PERCY: You're not gonna find the guy that way.

TRAVIS: Didn't say I would.

PERCY: While I'm being chemical girl, you are?

TRAVIS: Back on Titan.

PERCY: This is stupid.

I don't wanna do this.

Rudolpho says we're not even being paid.

TRAVIS: Oh, we're being paid.

Just not as much as he'd like.

RUDOLPHO: So, you want us to take messages

for you while you're out, or what?

TRAVIS: Look, it's nothing personal.

RUDOLPHO: No, no, you just want to go galloping off again

on some case, hmm, let me see, the word pittance

has a lovely ring, doesn't it?

TRAVIS: Dead-beat dads and lawyers

who lost their credit cards, that's the alternative is it?

RUDOLPHO: Yeah, at least they pay.

TRAVIS: Yeah, well I had Car check the oracles,

no bounties pending, so we have time to spare.

RUDOLPHO: I just don't like you committing us

to a personal job.

TRAVIS: So take a nap, I'm not even asking you

to break a sweat.

CALLISTA: How are you gonna find Bliss by yourself?

TRAVIS: Car, punch up that image.

Guy's name is Zurk.

I found him in the files Dalyat sent us.

He's an old friend.

He's involved with enista

and he's gonna lead me to Bliss.

CALLISTA: You'll need backup.

TRAVIS: Problem is, if Zurk gets a whiff I'm with anyone

he'll go underground, so I gotta go alone.

RUDOLPHO: Do you know what I think?

I think you're trying to please a couple of dead people.

TRAVIS: You should try it sometime.

Stake work pays very well.

[Whooshing]

TRAVIS: Car.

Give me Saturn Message net.

Titan Sector.

Zurk, public key, message,

Request to go see.

Encode using variance sequence 449 and post to drop-box.

Now let's see you jump.

MARCUS: Hey.

PERCY: Hey.

MARCUS: Is that the drug?

PERCY: It is.

[Beeping]

PERCY: Overwhelms the pain centers.

Don't feel a thing.

MARCUS: Sounds dangerous.

PERCY: Indeed.

MARCUS: Pain's important.

Tells you when you've gone too far.

PERCY: Maybe no pain tells you

when you haven't gone far enough.

MARCUS: What do you mean?

PERCY: Nothing.

[Sighs]

MARCUS: Don't be stupid, Percy.

PERCY: Go on.

[Inhales]

[Ominous Music]

TRAVIS: And a promising career bites the dust.

Okay, look, look, I never crossed you man.

ZURK: Okay, not me.

Everybody else is on the run looking for you,

but not me, okay?

I'm all live and let live, baby.

And that's for real.

We cool, we cool.

[Laughs]

TRAVIS: Relax Zurk.

[Laughing] ZURK: Oh, my man, my man.

Long time no see.

Like old times, baby, huh?

TRAVIS: Sure, why not.

ZURK: Good, good, 'cause after you went on the run

we heard some crazy things about you.

TRAVIS: Yeah, ignore that, I'm back in the game.

And I'm liking this enista, hmm.

You're gonna get me a sit-down with Bliss.

[Laughs]

ZURK: Sure, no problem, buddy.

Anything I can do for ya.

Boy, you've been wandering too long.

Bliss don't meet no one he don't know.

TRAVIS: He will if you vouch for me.

ZURK: An now why would Zurk vouch for you?

TRAVIS: Because I can give Bliss

Mars' big, beautiful new market.

You, you get to be the man who opened the door.

ZURK: No, no.

Mars squeaks, it's so tight, okay.

Big red troops are hard-core.

That place is a fortress, man.

That's it.

TRAVIS: You know how to get through a fortress?

ZURK: Mmm.

TRAVIS: Buy the jailer.

[Laughs]

ZURK: You were always crazy.

You have Frankle in your pocket,

then Mars is gonna be a whole different place.

ROAN: Low-life, drug-pushing Raider.

You should have died in that raid.

ZURK: Raid, what raid?

Who is this.

TRAVIS: Business associate.

I thought I told you Garick, once the merchandise

leaves my hands, it's your problem.

ZURK: I'm gonna smoke this fool.

TRAVIS: Don't!

ROAN: You're as bad as they are.

It might as well have been you that killed Sasha.

ZURK: Just a crazy old man.

TRAVIS: If anyone is gonna shoot him, it's gonna be me.

Now you turn around and walk outta here right now,

or I'm coming after the rest of your family.

You come down here when I'm working

you won't be visiting that pretty little wife of yours.

ZURK: Why you always let them walk?

TRAVIS: Killing your clientele, that's bad business.

Now down, boy!

Put that gun down!

Now get outta here, walk away.

Go!

The customer is always right.

ZURK: It is like old times with you.

Man, you crazy.

[Spaceship Humming]

CARAVAGGIO: I have an incoming message

from Saturn Authority Police.

CALLISTA: Put it through, Caravaggio.

Captain Dalyat.

CALYAT: Where's Mr. Montana?

CALLISTA: He's working the case.

CALYAT: Well he said he'd keep me appraised

and I haven't heard a word from him.

CALLISTA: He's meeting with an informant now.

RUDOLPHO: We've been fully briefed, so.

Help you with anything?

DALYAT: Well, I'd like to come aboard, if I may.

RUDOLPHO: That'd be lovely.

DALYAT: I'll see you soon, then.

RUDOLPHO: See ya.

CALLISTA: What the hell did you say that for?

RUDOLPHO: She doesn't know what he's doing,

we don't know what he's doing.

I'm bored, where's the harm?

CALLISTA: Where's the harm?

The harm is, we're not fully briefed.

And she obviously doesn't know anything either.

17 months, they still don't have a picture of Bliss.

RUDOLPHO: Well, she can't be any less chatty than Travis.

The last thing we need is more

people keeping secrets on this ship.

CARAVAGGIO: Callie, you have an incoming message.

A gentleman named Frankle.

CALLISTA: Put it through, Caravaggio.

FRANKLE: Callie, I was very surprised to get your message.

I guess you'll fill me in when I get there.

CALLISTA: Wish I knew what to tell you.

[Grunting]

[Coughing]

MARCUS: They're fine where they are.

[Tense Music]

MARCUS: Could you hand me the sealer?

The sealer.

[Tense Music]

CALLISTA: Marcus.

Can I have a sec.

MARCUS: Uh, yeah, sure.

Sorry, Percy.

CALLISTA: What do you know about Travis' past?

MARCUS: Could you ask me an easier one,

like the square root of pi.

CALLISTA: Look, he's playing this one too close.

MARCUS: You don't trust him?

CALLISTA: His motives, yes.

His judgment on this...

[Thud]

MARCUS: You know,

when Travis found me, things were pretty bad.

I couldn't talk about it.

I didn't want to talk about it.

And that was fine.

He knew just to stick around,

to wait.

Sometimes, it's harder to find

someone just to stick around.

You know what I mean?

CALLISTA: Yeah, I got it.

Thanks Marcus.

[Thud]

MARCUS: Percy?

Percy?

Hey, are you okay?

PERCY: Yes.

Ow.

[Spaceship Humming]

ROAN: I made it very clear to Mr. Montana,

I want nothing more to do with him.

DALYAT: So the contract's canceled?

ROAN: Absolutely.

You're not gonna get a single credit from me.

CALLISTA: Mr. Garick, can I just say that--

ROAN: I'm sorry, I have nothing more to say to any of you.

End transmission.

RUDOLPHO: 20,000 credits gone.

I had a lovely pack of gum picked out.

DALYAT: So you don't have a client.

You've been terminated off the case.

And now you can't raise Travis.

Either of you want to tell me what he's up to?

CALLISTA: Well the word is, he's met up with some

low-level filth named Zurk.

CALLISTA: Yeah, well, actually, we don't know anything.

DALYAT: Well, rumor has it,

Montana was a Raider once.

Raiders controlled most of the drug trade on Jupiter.

This Zurk, he was a low-level streeter there.

RUDOLPHO: Travis dealt drugs?

DALYAT: Zurk made the jump here about eight months back.

He got recruited by Bliss.

Bumped up fast.

He is dumb, he is lethal, and loyal.

CALLISTA: So, like I said, he's working the case.

DALYAT: Well, I've been working narcotics 10 years

and I have never seen anything like enista.

It cuts across all lines.

Is it possible that Mr. Montana has crossed over?

CALLISTA: No.

DALYAT: I spoke out of turn, and I apologize for that.

It's just that this one,

it hits a little close to home.

I lost a daughter to enista.

Once someone starts down that path,

you can't stop them.

[Tense Music]

MARCUS: Where are they?

They're full.

PERCY: Of course.

Were you hoping you'd get to hide?

Being a big strong man

who has to protect me from myself.

Be the man.

Be the man.

[Glass Breaking]

MARCUS: Okay? PERCY: Yeah!

MARCUS: Percy!

Calm down.

Calm down.

Right.

[Kicking] MARCUS: Ah!

PERCY: Sorry, this is heavy stuff.

I think you should put me in the brig.

DALYAT: So Travis asked you to arrange

a meeting with Frankle?

CALLISTA: On Titan, tomorrow.

DALYAT: Right, you served with him, didn't you?

CALLISTA: Yeah, doesn't mean I always approved of his methods.

DALYAT: Well, he's kept a lid on the Mars drug trade.

That's an impressive record.

CALLISTA: Yeah, if you don't mind how it gets done.

On Mars the ends always justify the means.

DALYAT: Right, well they have a hundred times our personnel

and one-tenth the territory.

Plus their anti-drug budget is bigger than the whole

Ops budget of Saturn Fed.

RUDOLPHO: You could make a lot of people disappear

with that kind of money.

DALYAT: You know the rumor on Frankle was

he cultivated links among Raider clans.

RUDOLPHO: What are you saying?

DALYAT: You make the connection.

PERCY: Hurry.

MARCUS: Ah!

PERCY: Get in!

[Screaming]

MARCUS: Ow!

[Dramatic Music]

ROAN: You come to finish me off?

TRAVIS: I think you know that's not true.

ROAN: I don't know anything anymore.

TRAVIS: You almost blew things for me big-time back there.

ROAN: You're nothing like him, you know.

Your father.

Why did you bother to save me back there?

TRAVIS: You're a man who lost his son.

I hear that makes you do strange things.

ROAN: Yeah, well...

TRAVIS: You gotta forgive him, you know.

ROAN: Who?

TRAVIS: Sasha.

RUDOLPHO: But if Frankle knew Travis from before--

CALLISTA: Frankle was big on favors.

Owing and being owed.

RUDOLPHO: You think Frankle owed Travis one?

CALLISTA: Possibly, but let's go back.

What do you know about Bliss?

DALYAT: Well, he's always one step ahead of us.

CALLISTA: So he's connected.

DALYAT: No, more than that.

He knows every move we make.

My last undercover wound up dead

before we even got close.

He wasn't even a real threat yet.

Plus he moves around, a lot.

RUDOLPHO: Ease a movement.

Good intel.

CALLISTA: Doesn't leave a trace.

Comes and goes as he pleases.

RUDOLPHO: What does that say to you?

CALLISTA: Someone with consular power,

not just criminal.

DALYAT: Maybe someone like the Mars Anti-Drug Chief.

[Beeps]

DALYAT: Ah, this just came in.

Your AI should be receiving a file now.

CARAVAGGIO: I'm showing travel movements

for the past six months.

Frankle, Mars Interdiction.

Nine trips to Saturn sector.

DALYAT: He traveled under an alias,

we matched it this morning.

RUDOLPHO: Why would a deputy be traveling under an alias?

CALLISTA: You're saying Frankle is Bliss.

RUDOLPHO: Is that possible?

CALLISTA: Yeah, maybe.

RUDOLPHO: If that's true, then Travis is walking into a trap.

We get paid upfront next time.

TRAVIS: My father's lost, your son's dead.

So right now, I just want to find the people

who are responsible.

ROAN: Why?

What's the point?

Sasha's dead.

Can't change that.

TRAVIS: No, we can't.

It's too late for Sasha.

It's too late for me,

but it's not too late for the city.

And if I find Bliss,

you remember me for that.

DALYAT: Look, even if Frankle is Bliss,

I can't touch him.

I mean not with so little evidence.

I have to get back.

We have 14 new enista related deaths as of last night.

RUDOLPHO: Travis still isn't responding to hails.

CALLISTA: He doesn't know about Frankle.

We have to head him off.

[Ambience]

[Door Creaks]

[Thud]

[Laughing]

[Tense Music]

[Kicking]

[Grunting]

POLICEMAN: The victim's male, early 20's...

DALYAT: I need you to keep this whole area clear, got it?

Okay.

POLICEMAN: Found dead 09:00 at junction of

Epsilon and Fifth.

Probable death by misadventure via enista intoxication.

First look of Beam Beta, out.

DALYAT: Is it done?

MAN: He got away.

DALYAT: No, that won't do.

Look, we have no time here.

So the plan is gonna go ahead.

This is where he's supposed to meet Frankle.

The Tulip crew will be there.

I want them all eliminated.

Once Frankle's out of the picture

our operation is gonna enter a very heavy expansion phase.

I'm gonna need people I can trust.

MAN: Understood.

DALYAT: If you let me down like Zurk did,

I won't just stop with you.

I'll kill everyone you know.

[Spaceship Humming]

MARCUS: Percy, you okay?

PERCY: I can totally picture tearing you apart.

It's the coolest thing.

MARCUS: That answers that, then.

[Over Speaker] CALLISTA: Marcus, where are you?

[Groaning]

MARCUS: Uh, just doing some maintenance work, why?

CALLISTA: Rudolpho and I have to go down to Titan.

We want you and Percy to prep the brig

for a possible prison transfer.

We might be having a guest in a couple of hours.

MARCUS: Uh, yeah, sure, no problem.

RUDOLPHO: If Travis makes contact,

put him straight through.

MARCUS: Yeah, yeah, whatever.

What should I do?

PERCY: Sedate me.

RUDOLPHO: Coordinates for the meeting?

CALLISTA: Yeah.

RUDOLPHO: What's the plan?

Are we just gonna walk in there and say,

"Hello, I think you're Bliss?"

CALLISTA: We'll figure out something.

If Dalyat's right about Frankle,

we have to get to Travis first.

Let's go.

[Whooshing]

[Tense Music]

[Groaning]

TRAVIS: Tulip.

I'm coming back.

Tulip, come in.

Great, no comm.

Perfect.

[Whooshing]

MARCUS: Okay.

Percy, give it to me now!

Come on!

Percy!

Give it, now!

TRAVIS: What the hell is going on?

MARCUS: Enista.

She's off her head.

Yeah, well, I told her not to.

TRAVIS: I'm gone for one day.

Half the crew's AWOL and Percy's on drugs.

Where the hell are Callie and Rudolpho anyway?

[Suspenseful Music]

MARCUS: They said something about picking up a prisoner.

TRAVIS: That's all you got?

MARCUS: I've been looking after her.

TRAVIS: What prisoner?

MARCUS: I've got no idea.

TRAVIS: Car, where have they gone?

CARAVAGGIO: They're presently off to collect Frankle.

And warn you, I believe.

Though your being here, might negate that second--

TRAVIS: Why do they want Frankle?

CARAVAGGIO: They suspect he's Bliss.

TRAVIS: That's insane.

Who the hell gave them that idea?

CARAVAGGIO: Captain Dalyat.

TRAVIS: Why would Dalyat think Frankle's Bliss?

Oh, no, no, no, Car, don't answer that.

Contact Callie and Rudolpho,

I need to tell them what's going on.

MARCUS: Can someone tell me what's going on.

CARAVAGGIO: I'm afraid I can't raise them.

TRAVIS: Dammit!

Alright, prep the shuttle, I'm going back down.

You look after her.

[Whooshing]

[Lasers Firing]

FRANKEL: I agreed to be the bait,

not the star attraction in a turkey shoot?

TRAVIS: Oh yeah.

But you owe me.

FRANKEL: Not anymore.

[Lasers Firing]

[Grunting]

[Tense Music]

[Coughing]

TRAVIS: Who sent you?

MAN: Bliss.

TRAVIS: Who sent you!

MAN: Ah!

Dalyat.

RUDOLPHO: Just when you thought it was getting boring.

OFFICER: Right this way, gentlemen,

Captain's right over here.

Captain?

Gentlemen to see you, Captain.

TRAVIS: I wouldn't advise it.

DALYAT: Well, it took you long enough.

TRAVIS: You have an excellent cover.

DALYAT: I saw an opportunity and I took it.

TRAVIS: How many lives have you destroyed?

DALYAT: The way I see it, none.

They destroy themselves.

I just keep the product supply going.

I have a clear conscience.

TRAVIS: Oh, I bet you worked long and hard on that answer.

DALYAT: What about you, Montana?

Your conscience clear after your Raider days?

TRAVIS: Far from it.

And I don't have a daughter's death to deal with either.

DALYAT: Yeah, well, neither do I.

TRAVIS: Part of your cover story, huh?

[Amospheric Music]

ROAN: So Dalyat had everybody fooled.

I suppose you must run into that sort of thing a lot,

being a bounty hunter.

How the hell do you deal with it?

TRAVIS: Does anyone really deal with it?

You just learn to shut it out.

ROAN: That's something you inherited from your mother.

TRAVIS: My mother.

What were they like?

My parents.

ROAN: Ah, they were good people.

They had their quirks.

Your father was very stubborn.

And you mother was...

Well, she was more stubborn.

[Laughs]

ROAN: But they were great, they were fun to be with

they'd go to the ends of the solar system for you.

I can't imagine having better friends.

Or better parents, for that matter.

Oh, hey...

That's you, one day old.

Now that's a loan.

Make your own copy.

And you drop that back to me

when you're on your next visit.

TRAVIS: Thanks.

[Ethereal Music]

CALLISTA: I hated you back then, Lena.

LENA: I couldn't stand you Cal. [Laughs]

NARRATOR: On the next Starhunter.

PERCY: We're here to buy antimatter stabilizer coils

from some black-market creep named Plog,

that's it, that's all.

LENA: I wouldn't be moving in on your territory?

CALLISTA: No, because he's not my territory.

PERCY: Can we get a room?

MARCUS: Yeah, sure.

MARCUS: I'm having the bed!

PERCY: Get out.

Ahh!

CALLISTA: Car, locate Travis.

CARAVAGGIO: Travis is in Miss Bannen's quarters.

RUDOLPHO: I think she wants to strangle him.

CARAVAGGIO: Ah, humor.
