Original subtitles

Bring in the prisoner.

Creegan must die.

Creegan must die.

Creegan must die. Creegan must die.

Creegan must die.

In uniting the underlords and reestablishing law and order,

I vowed that all remnants of the lawlessness

that preceded would be utterly wiped out.

Its memory alone would be enough of a reminder

and a deterrent.

So after reviewing the charges before me,

charges of crimes against humanity and mutantity

for blatant complicity with the Bailies,

I have no choice but to condemn the defendant

to death.

That's right.

Bring it on.

May your evil die with you as well.

I'm glad to see Marla stand true to her word.

A little law and order might be...

just what we need down here.

Cleo, cheer up. This is a good thing.

Since when is an execution a good thing?

Don't waste your compassion on Creegan, Cleo.

Believe me, he wouldn't return the sentiment.

See, back in my time, when people didn't believe in things...

they went out with signs and protested them.

Now you just blast 'em.

Listen, despite the dozens of people that wanted to, nobody blasted Creegan.

That's right. He was tried and found guilty.

So, what, you didn't believe in punishing criminals in your day?

No, I don't believe in capital punishment,

executing criminals.

So, if a criminal is found guilty as charged...

Right. Exactly.

If they get the right criminal and not some innocent guy...

which has been known to happen, you know.

And that's not even talking about the barbaric side

of strapping somebody to an electric chair

and then frying them.

It's gross.

Sarge, there's a situation in the maximum detention block.

Voice, do you think maybe you can give me a signal

when you're gonna shout in my ear?

Get used to it.

No, I don't wanna get used to it.

Voice, when are you and Hel gonna kiss and make up

so you can get back in her head where you belong?

When I feel Hel is ready.

In the meantime, Sarge, you're acting team leader

and there is a situation in the detention block.

It's Creegan.

Creegan?

Creegan?

Come on, this way. Surround the perimeter.

Come on, move it.

We put him back in his cell.

He said he wasn't feeling well.

The oldest trick in the book.

We had to drop the force field to run a bio-scan.

He got a hold of the med tech

before we could throw a force field at him.

Creegan insisted on talking to Hel.

Voice says Creegan's only gonna talk to you, Hel.

Hello, Hel.

Okay, Creegan. Let's get this over with.

You have an appointment to keep.

Oh, yes, my execution.

I must admit, I thought the sentence a little extreme.

Can you imagine me dead?

Yes, many times.

What do you want?

It's what you want, Helen.

Would you really have me let loose of this mortal coil

without me revealing all my secrets?

Don't listen to him, Hel.

It's just another one of his sick mind screws.

That's right, Helen. It's just a mind game.

What can I possibly know about Voice?

Nothing. I don't wanna play anymore.

I'm tired of the way you weave

your sick little lies with bits of truth.

I'm not interested.

Take what you know to the grave.

As you wish.

Personally, I'd want to know why Voice has chosen me,

to fight her private little war with the Bailies.

Let him go first.

Thanks for playing.

Wait.

Hel.

I'm listening.

From the day you woke up with that Voice in your head,

you've wondered haven't you, Helen?

Who is she, really?

And why does she show such a particular interest in you?

Sarge, stop this now.

Hel, get back.

What do you know?

Everything.

Oh!

That's my body.

You're a dead man, Creegan.

No! Wait.

Sarge.

Hel, are you okay?

I'm fine, Cleopatra. No harm done.

What did he say to you?

I'm not who you think I am.

Forget it.

He's mad.

Five hundred years into the future,

she will enter a world where machines rule the Earth.

Mankind has been driven underground.

And Cleopatra is about to discover

there's no place like home.

"In the year 2525"

"There are women with the will to survive"

"Fighting for a brand new day"

"Nothing is gonna get in their way"

"And in the year 2525"

"Three women keep hope alive"

"Joining forces to reclaim the Earth"

"Looking ahead to humankind's rebirth"

CLEOPATRA 2525 2x10 "IN YOOR BOOTS" Subtitles by subXpacio

Oh, yeah.

Oh, I need a drink.

Hey, cup of mash.

Cup of mash.

A glass of 103-Level mash to settle my nerves.

I think I'd need something to settle my stomach

if Creegan kissed me like that.

It'd almost be worth a shot of the hard stuff

just to wash the taste out of your mouth.

You're uncharacteristically quiet

on the subject, Voice.

How do you feel about your old friend Creegan

taking his last foul breath? Hmm?

You hear the question, Voice?

Tell Hel I'm pleased justice is being served.

Voice says justice is served, the usual.

You know, that must be tough,

having had the Voice in your head for so long

and then all of a sudden she's gone.

Gone?

Oh, yes, it is.

You don't understand.

Creegan has escaped in my body.

I mean, Hel's body.

I need to talk to my team.

I wouldn't believe me, either.

Nice ploy, Creegan.

The old "body switch. " I've got to try that one.

Hey, hey,

somebody stole my body!

You've got the wrong guy. I swear!

It's me, Creegan, Tox.

Tox?

We go way back.

The B-factories, the tunnel wars,

the first-ever multilevel peace talks.

The ones that crashed and burned.

You were behind that blood bath?

You and Creegan? You and me?

Those were the days.

It's gonna be hard to imagine the underground

after they demolecularize your ass.

Thanks.

Yeah.

Without you around to shake things up,

Hel and her like are gonna have the run of the place.

Tox, I'm getting out.

Do you understand,

you sorry excuse for a human life form?

And you're gonna help me.

You really going down there to protest

Creegan's execution?

Yup.

I'm sorry, Hel. I know that Creegan killed your dad,

but I have to stand by my convictions.

Knock yourself out, Cleopatra.

Cleo, wait up.

Are you going to help me with the protest?

I can make up another sign in a jiff.

Nope, I just wanna get a good seat

for when they scatter that sick bastard's molecules.

That's great. That's the spirit, yeah.

Hey, Hel? You comin'?

No.

No, uh, in a weird way,

Creegan's been such a big part of my life,

I don't think I could stand to see him vaporized.

You two have fun.

Okay. Okay.

Guards! You gotta stop him.

Creegan's gonna off himself!

What's going on here?

Keep it down, you losers.

Step away from the force field.

I said, step back.

He's gonna do it, man.

Wow.

He's gonna kill himself.

That's the plan, baby.

Not on my watch. Shut down the force field.

Fry, Creegan, fry.

Do it now!

Get up, Creegan.

I said, get up!

Yeah, mate!

Freeze, Creegan.

Sorry.

Nice, Creegan.

I think I pulled something.

The, uh, deactivator is on his belt there

for my door.

Sure. Right, I'll stay here.

Creegan, Creegan...

Creegan, yeah!

Go, Creegan.

Shut up!

Hold your fire.

Get him! This way, come on!

I knew you wouldn't leave me, buddy.

Come on, now. Do it.

Encrypted, encrypted, encrypted.

Is there anything in this blasted lab

that I can use?

Hel, is there a problem?

I don't know, Mauser.

I seem to be having trouble

with the command override system.

Everything seems to be functioning properly.

What systems were you trying to override?

You'll do for starters.

Ooh.

Clemency for Creegan.

Okay, so he's evil, you know, but he's still human.

Clemency for Creegan.

You can't demolecularize your conscience.

Clemency for Creegan.

What is this? Texas?

Cleo, it's me, Hel.

Hmm?

You have to listen to me.

Creegan pulled some kind of switch

when I was in his cell. He's me now.

I know it sounds crazy.

You have to help me to get to Marla's chambers.

I have to convince her to delay the execution.

Mmm.

Now, I'm going to take my hand away.

Just take it easy.

Help!

It's Creegan. He's escaped.

Somebody just shoot him!

Creegan?

So much for not believing in capital punishment.

Anybody-

Cleo, you have to help me.

Security breach.

Get away from me, you freak.

Security breach.

They're coming for you, Creegan.

Lockdown sequence activated.

Don't call me Creegan.

Freeze, Creegan.

Hold it.

You've got nowhere to run.

No.

Let Cleo go.

Sarge!

Sarge, listen to me.

Nothing you could say interests me.

Sarge, do you have a clear shot?

Cleo is not clear, Voice.

Sarge, do what you have to do.

Sarge.

Let Cleo go, or I will kill you.

Get them!

Cleo!

Damn it.

I believe there is a piece of equipment

in this lab to lead me to Voice.

That would be you, Mauser.

Where did we put that Voice beacon of yours? Hmm?

Ah, yes,

behind your left ear.

Hel, are you in the lab?

Voice, it's been a long time.

Hel, the lab sensors are offline and I can't contact Mauser.

Technical glitch, Voice.

In fact, I'm performing a diagnostic on him now.

I feared the worst.

Hel, Creegan has escaped from his cell.

I won't make a very good hostage you know.

We all have orders to die rather than negotiate

with creeps like you.

Hel and Sarge won't hesitate to sacrifice my life...

to take you down, mister.

Sarge hesitated back there.

I would have, too.

Cleo, what I told you before was true.

You're Hel.

Yes.

Are you trying to establish some kind

of insanity defense or something?

Hel, Creegan's escaped.

He's taken Cleo hostage.

I heard.

We must recapture Creegan

before he does any more damage.

Sarge, is everything all right there?

I still can't contact Mauser.

Hel, where's Mauser?

We were having some problems with our lab systems.

So, uh, Mauser's all over it.

Sarge, I registered a massive power overload

in Mauser's systems before I lost contact,

as if he'd been badly damaged.

Voice is worried.

She got some weird power readings off-

I told you, Mauser's fine.

Are you going to waste time interrogating me

or are we going to find Creegan?

I'm sorry, Sarge.

It's just that the thought of what that fiend

might be doing to Cleopatra, just drives me crazy.

Yeah. Me, too.

But, we still may be able to track her down through her gauntlets.

If she's still wearing them.

Get your hands off of me.

Give me those gauntlets.

I can prove to Sarge and Voice that I'm the real Hel.

Hands off my gauntlets.

Damn it, Cleo, let go!

I win.

You just keep your distance, freak,

or I'll zap that clown makeup right off of your face.

Fine.

Fine, we'll just wait here.

Huh?

You know, I bet Sarge and Voice

have already activated that tracer in your gauntlet.

I just hope Sarge gets here before Marla's guards do.

Why do you want Sarge so bad, huh, Creegan?

I'm not Creegan.

Right.

I don't know what game you're playing at

but I'm not buying into it.

What are you doing?

I'm not letting you lure my friends into a trap.

No, no!

You are so lucky I'm not the real Creegan.

Got her. Cleo's in Shaft 87, Level 209.

Wait a minute.

212, 216, 220.

She's not stopping.

You don't think Creegan whacked her

and threw her down the shaft, do you?

No, no, I really don't think he did.

Our motion sensors indicate activity this way.

Look alive. Yes, sir.

I wish Sarge could see how difficult

you're making things for me, she'd be really impressed.

Creegan.

You're a great man.

Why don't I leave you two alone? Ha, ha.

I want some distance between myself and Marla's goons,

so if you don't mind.

No problem, boss man. We'll hide you.

I think it would be better if we, uh, split up.

Remember the old hidey-hole from the Tunnel Gang days?

Sure.

It's still there.

Marla will never find us. Come on.

Bring your friend.

Creegan.

All right. Let's go.

Sarge, Marla's people have recaptured 11 prisoners.

Let me guess, none of them are Creegan or Cleo?

I'm afraid not.

Still no sign.

Run the surveillance hologram of the escape again.

I knew Creegan was obsessed with you, Hel,

but now he's trying to copy your moves.

He is not flexible.

He's got no ass.

Jump forward.

Freeze it.

See somethin'?

Are your gauntlets charged?

Always.

Follow me.

It's just Tox.

Hey, Creegan.

Oh! There's a new smell.

You should feel right at home.

This is a great day!

Marla and her kind have tried

to impose their law on the underground, on us!

Who does she think she is?

Yeah!

We make our own laws down here.

Yeah.

We answer to ourselves!

Yeah!

And to Creegan!

Yeah, Creegan.

Nice going.

You tell them, Creegan.

You're the man.

Thanks.

Yeah, thanks a lot, um,

well, it's so nice to see some old-old familiar faces,

uh, once again.

Drek,

Scuzz.

I didn't think I'd ever be this close to any of you,

uh, ever, and I mean that.

I really appreciate you inviting me down here

to this wonderful hideout.

So, thanks.

So what are you all staring at,

you bunch of brain-dead shaft oozes?

I just escaped from Marla's cell!

Let's do some crimes!

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, whoo.

Good to see you again, Creegan.

Yeah, welcome back.

Leaving so soon?

I was just going to the powder room.

Grabbing a hostage was a smart move, Creegan,

Yeah.

but we're in the clear now and she's just a liability.

I want some of that.

Back off, Tox.

I grabbed this one. She belongs to me.

Sorry, Creegan.

You're right.

You kill her.

Kill her.

Come on.

Well, go on then.

Kill her.

Kill her.

Are you giving me orders?

No.

You listen to me, you pus-ridden,

crusty-faced, sewer leech,

I make the rules.

Next time you tell me what to do,

I'll be wearing your skin as a suit.

You got that?

Oh.

This little cupcake is mine.

Oh, I'll kill her in my own good time.

In the meantime, we're going to have some fun.

Yeah.

I'd rather you just kill me.

Creegan.

Go, Creegan!

You're the man.

Whatever you're going to do, just get it over with.

But no kissing.

Don't worry, Cleo. You're not my type.

What?

I told you, I'm not... Ah, forget it.

Let's get out of here.

Sarge.

Why can't you just die with dignity?

Hel! No!

We let the law deal with him.

Of course.

Sarge! Hel isn't Hel!

Watch her-

Come on, scumbag.

Let's go.

You don't have to watch this, Hel.

Creegan is the most fiendishly brilliant mind alive.

I won't rest until I can see him dead with my own eyes.

That's far enough.

Just look at him.

Sarge, something's hinky here.

Yeah, you don't like executions, I get it.

No, Hel's been acting weird

ever since she went into Creegan's cell.

Defending him. Talking up his genius.

She just called him "fiendishly brilliant. "

What, did she buy a word-of-the-day calendar or something?

What, Hel uses a few big words and all of a sudden she's-

What about at the bar?

She forgets that you have the Voice in your head

instead of hers?

And why is she being all formal, calling you "Cleopatra,"

when Creegan just called you "Cleo"?

Yeah, you see what I'm sayin'?

Just remember what I said.

If you're going to do this,

make sure you got the right guy.

Final words, Creegan?

"Spend some time in slave chains,

see the world through new eyes. "

What?

That's what you told me when I saved you

from the slavers that double-crossed you.

You said there was more to life down here

than squeezing profits from misery.

What kind of a trick is this?

I- I don't think it's a trick.

Cleopatra, that's enough.

Creegan has been found guilty.

Carry out his sentence.

Yeah! Do it, now!

I think we need to reopen this case.

I order you to be silent.

Sarge! Trust your instincts.

Does that sound like the Hel you know?

He told me to keep my eye on you, Hel, and I have.

Quite frankly, I don't think you've been yourself today.

This is absurd. Carry out his execution! Now!

Yeah. That's enough!

What?

By my authority as magistrate, I order a 24-hour stay.

Return the prisoner to his chambers.

Kill the clown.

No!

Demolecularization initiated.

Evacuate chambers immediately.

No!

Hel!

In the end, I'm glad it turned out this way.

I much prefer a firing squad

to that humane contraption they had you in.

Cleo, get back!

It's no use, Sarge.

The escape countermeasures have been activated.

Then override them!

Do it!

Hel!

Hel, can you hear me?

Hel, talk to us!

It's not workin'!

Come on!

Nice moves, Helen.

You work that body in ways I never thought I could.

Must be the female touch.

Maybe, I still know my weaknesses

which are now your weaknesses.

It's over, Creegan, they know.

Knowledge isn't everything.

Got it. Let's go.

Don't move.

No, no, hey, get Creegan! Creegan!

Oh, I mean, Hel, or whoever that was.

Uh.

Hel?

Yeah, it's me.

How did he do it?

Creegan smuggled this into his cell

inside a hollow tooth.

Pretty ingenious.

Hel, you were trying to tell me, and...

I'm sorry I was so slow on the uptake.

Forget it.

I wouldn't believe anything that came out of his mouth, either.

So this little doohickey can change you back?

I hope so.

I really don't want to spend every day looking at that face.

Hey, It's no picnic being on this side, either.

I'm sure it's not.

Don't worry. We'll bring Creegan in.

Hey, just tell your men to go easy

with those shock batons, huh?

They really sting.

Come on, let's move.

Sarge?

Yeah, Voice.

Sarge, I still haven't been able

to establish communication with Mauser.

And someone has just re-encrypted

the lab's defensive system.

He's in the lab.

Okay, Sarge, you go right.

Cleo, stay low, go left.

Remember, that's my body in there,

so low-power weapons only.

Once you pin him down, I'll move in

and make the swap.

Let's go, team.

What?

Nothing.

Hel!

I wanted to keep this party a little more intimate.

So I reprogrammed the door to only admit you.

You're just dragging this out, Creegan.

Marla and her men will be here any minute.

If I were you, I'd do everything in my power

to keep that from happening.

Anyone else comes dragging through that door,

and I trigger the lab self-destruct systems.

The blast would surely kill

all your little friends outside that door

and there will be plenty left for Marla and her boys.

But the most delicious death of all

will be yours, Helen.

The last thing you'll see is your body

being blown into a million pieces.

Voice, can you override lab door security?

I'm trying every access code, Sarge.

But it'll take some time.

Sarge, do you read me?

Creegan, I mean, Hel.

What's going on in there?

Creegan's armed the lab auto-destruct.

Tell Marla and her men to keep some distance.

You'd better back off, too.

I'm not going to abandon you, Hel.

Just do it, Sarge!

What's this gonna get you, huh?

You blow up the lab and you'll die, too.

What have I got to lose? Hmm?

You and Marla were only too happy

to make my death a public spectacle.

No regret, no remorse.

Is that justice, Helen?

Or your own lust for vengeance?

You were going to do the same to me.

My point exactly.

You've crossed the line.

We're just the same now,

you and I.

That's right, Marla.

I want you and your men at least 20 levels back

till you hear from me.

Or until you hear a really loud noise.

We're not leaving?

What do you think?

Voice, any luck with that door?

Only 300 quadrillion possible key combinations to go.

Great.

Cleo, stay here.

Where are you going?

A shielded access vent runs into the lab

from the next level up.

There's an auxiliary control station inside.

And if I get to it

I should be able to shut down the auto-destruct.

Sarge, you know

that vent is protected by a security force field.

I know about the security, Voice.

So I'm gonna need you to help me get through it.

Sarge, be careful.

We could make a deal.

You want your body back. I want mine.

You make the switch and I'll tell Marla that you cooperated

and I'll personally see to it,

that you have your death sentence commuted.

I thought you wanted to see me fry, Helen?

Come on, now. Don't wimp out on me.

Stick to your convictions!

Whatever happens, you're not walking out of here.

Maybe not, but in the meantime,

Mr. Mauser and I have some unfinished business.

Oh, I hope I don't make a mess out of his brain

looking for this Voice beacon.

Oh, well.

Come out, come out, wherever you are.

One more step and we go out together.

Oh.

What happened to the good old days

when we could just leave a key under the mat?

I can see the force field, Voice.

Can you shut it down?

Yes, but I can only leave the field down

for a few seconds

without setting off the lab alarms.

Is that enough time?

It'll have to be.

Force field deactivation in three, two, one.

There's that Voice beacon.

Sarge, take the next right to the control panel.

Come to Daddy.

Laboratory auto-destruct activated.

Now you've done it.

Detonation in one minute, 25 seconds.

1:25, 1:24.

Damn it!

1:13, 1:12, 1:11, 1:10

1:09.

Cleo, get out of there. I'm not gonna make it!

I'm not leaving you guys.

31, 30, 29

25, 24

21, 20.

Cleo, get out of there, the lab's going to blow!

19, 18.

Not exactly the execution you had in mind, huh, Helen?

13, 12, 11, 10

9, 8, 7...

Goodbye, Helen.

6, 5, 4

3, 2, 1.

No.

Auto-destruct sequence aborted.

Goodbye.

Creegan.

No.

Command: override lab security door.

Don't move, Creegan, or I'll zap you.

Cleo, I'm Hel!

I'm not falling for your mind games again.

Cleo, no!

You, okay?

Thanks, Cleopatra.

Don't worry, I got him.

You are still Creegan, right?

All systems check out.

Thank you, Hel.

It feels good to be back on-line.

Oh, me, too.

Although, I do have to say

that I'm a little disappointed in you guys.

Excuse me?

Mmm-hmm.

We just saved you from being fried.

Well, yes, eventually.

But I can't believe you couldn't tell the difference

between myself and a megalomaniacal killer.

Now that hurt.

Well, Creegan put on a pretty good show.

And you have to admit,

there is a bit of a tyrant in both of you.

Well, don't get me wrong, I love that about you.

Cleo, how are you doing?

Feeling any better?

No.

Oh, come on, Cleo.

At least you stayed true to your beliefs.

No one got executed.

Yeah, but I don't back the catch-and-release program.

I just let the baddest guy down here walk.

See you. Bye-bye.

Be good now, okay?

Cleo, your gut feeling saved Hel's life.

Yes, and it's true

you did manage to let Creegan

slip through your fingers today.

But, thanks to you, I get to see tomorrow.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Okay.
