COLD OPEN INT. MOYA -- Center Chamber CHIANA: ( moaning )Inside the Center Chamber, Rygel is 'listening in' on the goings on aboard Moya. He's watching events on a small monitor. RYGEL: Work frell you, work!Rygel thumps the monitor once or twice, and sighs with satisfaction as he finally obtains picture as well as sound. The image of Chiana's bare back flickers onto the screen. RYGEL: Oh...Sounds of Chiana's moaning continue as Rygel ( close your eyes kids ) raises one hand and strokes his earbrow. The hand of some unseen male reaches up and strokes Chi's back as Rygel continues this irritating snickering. INTERCUT EXT. SPACE A large, complex space station is in orbit around a gorgeous stellar mass of some kind, looks incredibly like a 'Red Dwarf', all firey reds and dark blues. Moya is docked with the space station. INTERCUT Inside the space station, Crichton's sitting at the equivalent of a bar, enjoying himself for a change. From the sound of his voice, he's had a bit too much to drink of the 'local color'. Talking to the 'bartender', whilst that self-same bartender spritzes him a fresh drink from the bar. JOHN: ( slurring slightly ) See, to me it's unbelievable. You know-- I can come to the Mall of the Uncharted Territories, buy anthing I want cause I'm rich-- and that leather S&M faced wacko Scorpy clone-- he's-he's, locked in here...Crichton taps his forehead to illustrate where aforesaid clone is locked. JOHN: ... so, you know, I--Crichton's 'explanation' is cut off as the bar is rocked suddenly by some external disturbance. He looks up and around briefly, unfazed by the disturbance, before returning to his discussion with the bartender. JOHN: --anything with all, you know, everything, is going to be just fine, but no-- my friend, she's sick, so we gotta find a place where she can heal-- and you have no idea what I'm talkin' about, do ya?The bar is shaken vigorously again by the disturbance. Crichton hangs onto the bar with both hands. The bartender hangs on with all EIGHT. JOHN: What the hell's goin' on out there?D'Argo jogs in, all boyish enthusiasm, passing a couple of black clad beings who have been eyeing Crichton from the end of the bar. D'ARGO: John!A wonderful three-shot here as John and D'Argo bracket the Bartender. The 'react' from the bartender is 'priceless!' ( A universally understood "What!?" ). Underneath all the makeup, Thomas Holesgrove's eyes are SO expressive! inkling is eating this with a spoon! Incredible makeup job here! MOORDIL: ( untranslatable grunt to go with that 'look' )Yeah, but... his reservations on that are also expressed on his face. D'ARGO: You know, I... I never though I was going to get married again, but then...John's nodding distractedly, eyeing these frelling huge tattoo things... and D'Argo finally registers John's lack of 'excitement'. D'ARGO: What?INTERCUT INT. MOYA -- Cargo Bay Close up on face of frozen Interon through the window of the Cryo-pod CHIANA: No!Camera pulls back as Chiana falls onto a furry blanket and sprawls on the floor. CHIANA: ( panting ) No more.A similarly unclad Jothee collapses on the blanket next to Chiana. JOTHEE: ( gasping for breath ) This is crazy.INTERCUT INT. SPACE STATION -- The Bar Stark and Zhaan enter a much more crowded bar than before, they are followed by two servers carrying several packages. STARK: Take those to our vessel.The station is rocked by another bout with the gamma disturbances. STARK: Here... let me help you.Aeryn enters the bar, watching Zhaan and Stark closely as she passes behind them. Moving to a table, she notes the black clad female at the bar who's been eying Crichton. Aeryn takes a seat at a booth, arms stretched across the back of the chair, and is immediately joined by Crichton who sprawls into the booth, elbow resting on the seat next to her hip. JOHN: She looks weaker.John leans closer, poking through a carryall Aeryn's placed on the floor between them. JOHN: So, what did you buy?Aeryn pushes Crichton's hand off of her new 'toy', the muzzle of a projectile weapon of some type. *sigh* Girls and their toys! AERYN: I traded a pulse pistol for some original Tarnek Deployers.A moment of tension here as John, D'Argo and Aeryn realize someone here knows something they ought not to know. JOHN: Who are you?The bar is rocked by another gamma disturbance. BORLIK: I heard he was a devil. He raped and pillaged-- he popped eyeballs.Yes, but his hand is clearly on the pulse pistol at his hip. JOHN: I'm just lookin' for some aviation fuel shooters.At the bar, D'Argo reaches up and back, gripping the hilt of his Qualta Blade. Aeryn shoots a glance to Crichton, then back to the female -- It's hail 'o bullets time. BORLIK: That's great. That's great because, in here, everything's on me. We hate Peacekeepers.Everyone relaxes. BORLIK: Hey Moordil, Moordil! Intoxicants for Crichton and his... his grunt.Loud rumbling shakes the bar again. BORLIK: Yeah, so... you here to kill somebody? Can I help you?Much more forceful rumbling shakes the bar. Crichton looks up and around again. JOHN: What the hell's goin' on around here?The bar rocks violently and something explodes at the far side of the room. MOORDIL: Watch out!!Aeryn and Crichton dive for cover as the rumbling intensifies and all hezmana breaks loose. Support beams fall from the ceilings and crap from the tables, bar and shelves fly every which way! STARK: Look out Zhaan!Stark pulls Zhaan to the floor. People are crushed by falling support beams. There's a quick shot, a second or less, of Crichton getting debris dumped on his head. D'Argo stands in the center of the bar, Qualta Blade drawn, as the place falls apart around him! END COLD OPEN RUN OPENING CREDITS My name is John Crichton, I'm lost an astronaut... shot through a wormhole.... In some distant part of the universe. I'm trying to stay alive. Aboard this ship-- this living ship of escaped prisoners-- my friends. If you can hear me-- beware... if I make it back... will they follow? If I open the door... are you ready? Earth is unprepared-- helpless-- for the nightmares I've seen. Or should I stay? Protect my home? Not show them-- you exist. But then you'll never know... the wonders I've seen. ACT I INT. SPACE STATION -- The bar Destruction everywhere, the place looks like somebody picked it up and shook it vigorously. Crichton pulls himself out from under a debris fall, shaking dust from his head, he's filthy-- coated in dust and grit (BB is happy!) The patrons who remain alive, also are pulling themselves out from under debris. JOHN: ( groaning ) Aeryn. ( pause ) Where's Aeryn? ( shouting ) Aeryn?!Crichton helps Aeryn extract herself from a hunk of debris that pinned her to the floor. JOHN: Anybody hurt?Chiana's head pops up from behind a container in the cargo bay, she's tucking her loomers into her corset. PILOT: Can you hear me?!D'Argo runs out of the bar. JOHN: Check on her exterior!INTERCUT INT. MOYA CARGO BAY Chiana runs out of the Cargo Bay-- but she's called back by Jothee. JOTHEE: Chiana... this guy... this guy's moving!Chiana runs out of the Cargo Bay. INTERCUT INT. MOYA CORRIDOR Chiana jogs down a corridor and rams into Rygel hovering in from the opposite direction. CHIANA: Whoa! Watch it. Watch where your goin!INTERCUT EXT. SPACE D'Argo in the transport pod, surveys the exterior damage. The floating field of debris is unrecognizable as the space station seen earlier. Moya appears entangled in the debris. D'ARGO: I'm in the transport pod, Pilot. Three of the stations five pods have been destroyed. I can't find any signs of survivors.INTERCUT INT. SPACE STATION -- The Bar ZHAAN: Don't move, Moordil. The beam has pierced your monin artery.INTERCUT INT MOYA -- Cargo Bay Jothee watches a now fully revived Interon ( not the bearded guy Stark 'killed' by injector in SOD ). MAN: Where am I?The man starts trembling and making retching noises. JOTHEE: Are you okay? Now, I'm supposed to look after you, so don't do anything crazy!The man leans forward, hurls dark green vomit all over Jothee, then collapses on the floor. JOTHEE: Oh, frell! Chiana, get down here! I think this guy's dying! Get down here!Elsewhere on Moya, Chiana's struggling to seal the ruptured hatch. CHIANA: Handle it yourself!With a thump the hatch is sealed and the hiss of escaping air stops. CHIANA: Pilot... I've sealed the vent!Outside the window of the hatch, Chiana can see a young child in one of the station's pods. The child pounds on the window of the pod, her obvious pleas for help are unheard. CHIANA: Pilot... we've got another problem.INTERCUT INT. SPACE STATION -- The Bar MOORDIL: The child, ah... the child your friend saw must be trapped in the lower pod. There is... there is... there was... a nursery there, for when the parents were shopping.Aeryn and John grab a couple of torches and make their way into the opening of a filtration vent which is collapsed on the floor of the bar. INTERCUT INT. MOYA -- Cargo Bay CHIANA: What did you do to him?!Chiana turns to leave, giving a last order to Jothee. CHIANA: Go bathe.INTERCUT INT. SPACE STATION -- Filtration Vents Aeryn and John appear in the semi-darkness at the base of another vent. The beam from their flashlights dance in the darkness. AERYN: All right, Moordil. Short incline, and then it splits off.Needing both hands for the climb, they tuck their torches in to their belts and begin climbing, using the ribbing of the vent for hand and foot holds. It looks a steep climb. Some light escapes into the vent from rips in the metal. AERYN: ( panting ) You know... I've been thinking... about us.The station rumbles again and Aeryn slips backward a bit, ramming into John just behind her. JOHN: ( grunts ). They remain pressed close together, his chin resting slightly on her shoulder. JOHN: So, what do you suggest?Oops, John loses his footing and slides back down the vent, dragging Aeryn with him. They slide down several feet before stopping. JOHN: ( groaning ) You know what... uh... now is not a good time. How about I, uh... check my diary and get back to you later in the week.They climb back up the vent while continuing this discussion until Aeryn halts abruptly, Crichton rams into her this time. He abruptly grabs her around the waist with one arm, pulling her close from behind. And, uh... they're 'both' breathing hard now. JOHN: Is this for you, or for me?Using the fingers of both hands, he strokes her skin just below her collarbone. JOHN: I can alternate, I can release all the tension I want. I don't need your charity.Aeryn pulls away and continues the climb, moving past a rip in the metal of the vent. JOHN: Watch that, that's broken.Reaching the top of the incline Aeryn stands and turns to John, who's just climbing out of the vent. Shot 'directly' between his leather clad legs, she stands in front of him and 'unzips' her green top. Yow! Just a gorgeous shot, Mr. Prowse! Thank you! -- Unfortunately, he also takes that moment to have her break through what must be a window she happened to decide to stand on and she 'plummet's through', dropping from sight before John can get an eyeful of her attempted seduction. JOHN: Aeryn!Crichton's ... hmmmm... back inside the tunnel now, on hands and knees ... is this an oopsie?... he scrambles forward quickly, and shooting 'up' from where Aeryn has just fallen through, Crichton's head and shoulder's appear in the opening. JOHN: Aeryn!!!END ACT I ACT II Camera angle is up, Crichton's head and shoulders in view, looking down. Can't tell how far the drop is, but it's apparent that he can't see her, nor she him. JOHN: Aeryn! Aeryn!INTERCUT INT. SPACE STATION -- The Bar JOHN: Pilot says there's another storm on the way. It's gonna hit us in less than two arns and it's bigger than the last one.John walks over to the bar to talk to Moordil and Borlik. JOHN: All right, here's the deal: Our Pilot says that the storms are being attracted by a flux broadcast being generated somewhere inside this station.Uh oh. John exits, idea in head. INTERCUT INT. MOYA -- Transport Hangar The ship Pilot brought on board is sitting in the transport hangar. A small vessel, black and oddly shaped. Hmmm... Prowler replacement? Aeryn's new 'wheels'? D'ARGO: Pilot says it's empty but he can't sense how to get inside.D'Argo tries to touch the side of the ship but his hand is fended off by an invisible force screen. 'Invisible' ripples form in the air. Cool effect! D'ARGO: Defense shield is active all the way around the ship.Jothee storms out, typical teenager. D'ARGO: Jothee! I was only teasing! Jothee!D'Argo sighs, and walks over to Chiana. D'ARGO: Um. You look attractive.Chiana exits. D'Argo inhales ... twice. INTERCUT INT. SPACE STATION -- The Bar Stark put's a DRD on the debris strewn floor -- where'd the dirt come from? That's a lot of dirt! -- the DRD scurries away STARK: That's just about the last of the DRD's. If Crichton's correct, they should give us some indication of where the signal's coming from. -- What's the matter?Stark reaches up to touch Zhaan's head, but she fends his hands away gently. ZHAAN: Don't worry about me, Stark. It's all right.His tone absolutely brooks no argument, and so Zhaan pulls the pale blue cloth of her headress away, revealing the pale blue of her skull, it's dotted with many godawful looking sores. Stark presses his fingers against his lips, then touches her head gently. STARK: The sores are worse. The weakening is progressing...INTERCUT INT. SPACE STATION -- Waste Conduit Aeryn trudges through a smelly, waste infested ... waste conduit. She reaches a wall, with some kind of writing on it. AERYN: All right, Moordil. Looks like some kind of binary code followed by four circles.Suddenly Aeryn hears the sound of distant pounding, someone pounding on the bulkhead. Muted voice of a child can also be heard. GIRL: Help!INTERCUT INT. MOYA -- Cargo Bay JOTHEE: You think he knows?D'Argo enters... wonder how long he was standing in the doorway... Chiana leaps up and runs to him. Man, could they 'look' more guilty? Does guilt have a 'smell'? CHIANA: Crichton... We ah... we don't know what to tell him about the guy cacking.Jothee leaps up and passes D'Argo, following Chiana. D'ARGO: What's that smell?She looks so incredibly guilty... Jothee walks back into the room, standing behind Chiana. D'ARGO: You have betrayed me.D'Argo takes a few steps forward, standing right in front of Chiana... he pulls something out from behind his back. D'ARGO: Do you know what this is?D'Argo pushes Chiana away from him and advances slowly on Jothee. D'ARGO: It's a Union Tattoo. It's a Luxan symbol of courage, honor and loyalty. I was going to give it to Chiana, but I was wrong. I want you to have it.D'Argo rips his son's shirt up, Chiana leaps on D'Argo trying to pull him away, but he throws her off easily. CHIANA: D'Argo let him go!D'Argo shoves the carved tattoo against Jothee's stomach, his flesh sizzles and he screams as the tattoo is burned into his skin. CHIANA: D'Argo!D'Argo flings Jothee to the floor, then turns on Chiana. D'ARGO: But you... you will never get these.Before leaving, D'Argo turns back at the doorway. D'ARGO: I know what it was I smelled before. It was a burned out function cell in the cryo-chamber.INTERCUT INT. SPACE STATION -- The Bar Stark finishes repair to the final DRD. (and YES, It IS! Old "One-Eye" is the DRD with the blue electric tape on the right eyestalk! Yeah... continuity! Gotta love it!) STARK: There."One-Eye" immediately beings beeping wildly, Stark doesn't even have time to put it on the floor. Crichton and Borlik enter the bar, and the beeping intensifies. JOHN: What'cha got?Stark aims the DRD at Moordil. MOORDIL: But, I'm-I'm not sending out any frelling signal.With the DRD aimed directly at Moordil, the beeping slows noticably. MOORDIL: See I told you.With DRD as 'devining rod', Stark aims it about the bar. The beeping intensifies again when it's aimed at Borlik. BORLIK: What? Why is it making this noise? Why is it making that noise?Borlik tries to run out of the bar, but John & Wynona, block her exit. JOHN: Give him the Scooby Doo Snack, then. Where's the signal coming from?Borlik blinks once, her eyes turning white. BORLIK: ( continues chanting ) lak-ma-ruka-be... lak-ma-ruka-be... lak-ma-ruka-be... lak-ma-ruka-be...Her chanting quickening, she lifts into the air. Crichton gapes a bit and backs off, but keeps his weapon on her. BORLIK: ( midair chanting ) lak-ma-ruka-be... lak-ma-ruka-be... lak-ma-ruka-be... lak-ma-ruka-be... lak-ma-ruka-be... lak-ma-ruka-be...Her body suddenly shoots to the ceiling of the bar and sticks there, and we get some more amusing: 'this isn't good', reacts from Crichton. BORLIK: ( ceiling chanting ) lak-ma-ruka-be... lak-ma-ruka-be... lak-ma-ruka-be... lak-ma-ruka-be... lak-ma-ruka-be... lak-ma-ruka-be...END ACT II ACT III INT. SPACE STATION -- The Bar. Borlik is still hanging on the ceiling, Crichton's standing on a chair, tugging on her leg. She's 'still' chanting. Could she *be* more irritating? JOHN: Dude, she's stuck, man.Rygel hovers up to the ceiling RYGEL: Let's kill her, cut her off the frelling pipe and chuck her out.Rygel rams her with his head. Lotta power in that throne sled. JOHN: Rygel, cut it out.Rygel rams her again. JOHN: Rygel, we don't know what's going on. We don't know anything, so we don't know if killing her will stop the damn signal.Rygel rams her three more times. JOHN: Buckwheat! Stop it!Crichton rolls his eyes with disgust, and walks away, sitting at the opposite side of the bar. RYGEL: At least let me shut her up.Rygel stuffs a large blue cloth in Borlik's mouth, effectively silencing her chanting. JOHN: Shove it in deep, Rygel. -- Pilot, how long before that storm hits.( Cut to Aeryn in the vent system. ) JOHN: ( over comms ) ...you might have to forget about the kid.( Distant pounding sound and muted voices continue. ) JOHN: ( over comms ) Well, make it quick. You've got less than an arn.( Distant pounding sound and muted voices continue. ) AERYN: Yeah, hang on! I'm coming! I'll follow your voice!( Cut back to bar. ) PILOT: I've located three sources of hydro-steel. Two are in the neural cluster cooling rods.INTERCUT INT. MOYA -- Center Chamber Crichton enters the chamber, D'Argo's already there, sitting in the dark, deeply into a bottle. JOHN: Hey, D. How you doin'?John approaches, trying to settle a reassuring hand on his friends shoulder. Said friend snarls at him-- John backs off quickly. JOHN: ( semi-angrily ) We don't have time for this.John approaches the table, standing beside D'Argo. JOHN: They're not as strong as you are. They're not as brave, they're not as smart--D'Argo turns on him again, pushing him away, but John won't be pushed. D'Argo siezes him by the shoulder, John returns the gesture -- they are a mere fraction from a brawl. D'ARGO: They broke my heart, John.INTERCUT INT. SPACE STATION -- Ventilation duct AERYN: I can't hear you anymore! Hello? Are you still there? Can you hear me? Hello? Frell! Hello!?INTERCUT INT. MOYA -- Cargo Bay Jothee and Chiana are pushing one of the cryo-chambers out of the room, they are joined by Crichton.... a very pissed Crichton. JOHN: What were you thinking?INTERCUT INT. MOYA -- Subpassage D'Argo staggers down the subpassage muttering to himself. He's 'stinkin' drunk'. D'ARGO: "Yeah, we need you D'Argo." "We... need you". "Oh, and by the way, would you mind putting your hands against the wall and spreading your legs so I can kick you up the mivonks? 'Cause you have got to be one dumb tresnak."D'Argo takes one last drink from the bottle, then tosses it on the floor where it shatters. D'ARGO: I'm starting depressurization.INTERCUT EXT. MOYA Breathtaking CGI here as D'Argo climbs out the hatch onto Moya's 'skin'. Debris from the ruined station hurtles by. 300 nilits can't be that fast, but D'Argo's tentacles and hair fly about dramatically! Whew, nice! D'ARGO: I'm outside, Pilot. Where are the cables?D'Argo makes his way across Moya's exterior. INTERCUT INT. SPACE STATION -- The Bar Crichton and Stark push the cryo-chamber into the bar. JOHN: Take the gag out.Rygel grumbles but pulls the gag out of Borlik's mouth. Sheesh-- she immediately starts chanting again. RYGEL: Oh, you want to hear this?Borlik starts chanting again, but she's pulled away from the ceiling and into the cryo-pod. Crichton and Stark close it on her. She foregoes the chanting for some muffled threats. JOHN: Got her, Pilot. We're coming back to Moya. We'll try to free her up.INTERCUT EXT. MOYA D'Argo works to pry lose a large hunk of piping. He lifts it and it floats away. D'ARGO: Pilot, I've cleared Moya of all the cables except for two.Cut to Chiana in Command CHIANA: D'Argo, listen to me. Wait for Crichton, he'll--Cut to Crichton pushing the cryo-pod quickly, on Moya. JOHN: D'Argo. D'Argo what are you doin' out there?D'Argo touches the two ends of the pulse recharger cables together, an explosion of energy results. D'Argo screams... his body floats away into space, but it's restrained by the safety cable secured to the hatch and his belt. END ACT III ACT IV Crichton finally pushes the cryo-pod into the transport hanger JOHN: Pilot, why the hell did you let him go out?( John pulls the pod to a stop and peers inside, Borlik is 'still' chanting. ) JOHN: You're tellin' the wrong person to shut up.INTERCUT INT. MOYA -- Subpassage below exterior hatch. John, wearing the black pressure suit, stands below the ladder to the hatch, hurriedly preparing to go outside. His expression is grim. JOHN: Any signal yet, Pilot?John pushes Jothee out of the hatch area and seals the door. JOTHEE: Crichton, no...!( Crichton puts the helmet on and climbs up the ladder. ) CHIANA: Crichton...INTERCUT EXT. MOYA ( Crichton climbs out of the hatch and onto Moya's 'skin'. Turning slightly, he can see D'Argo floating at the end of the tether line, like a big 'ol kite. ) JOHN: D'Argo? ( pause ) Pilot, he's not responding. I'm gonna fix the ship first, then go after him.Now here's a nice shot-- from behind, as John crawls, hands and feet, across Moya's exterior. CHIANA: I'm coming out there myself.Cut to Aeryn trudging through the vent system, the cries for help are clearly heard. CHILD: Help me!Cut back to the bar. MOORDIL: I should have known Borlik was one of them.... a Kampek!Cut to Ext. Moya. Crichton struggling with a large flexible pipe (looks like the same one D'Argo freed earlier). JOHN: Pilot, I can't--Moya lurches, John loses his grip and floats away from the ship-- he's 'not' wearing a safety tether! A lucky grab and he latches onto one of the pulse cables snaring Moya. Cut back to Vent system-- Aeryn reaches her goal. AERYN: Right, I'm at the access hatch. Moordil, what's the code?Cut back to the bar, Moordil gasps out an unintelligible response. AERYN: I can't hear you! Moordil?Moordil gasps once more and dies (Yep, sorry, Thomas Holesgrove dies yet again-- sorry bout that inky!) -- Cut back to Aeryn, crouching by the pod hatch. ZHAAN: By the Goddess.Aeryn rummages through her back pack, pulling out the weapon she traded the pulse pistol for. AERYN: Just hope this works.Aeyrn fires the weapon at the access hatch, it drops open, revealing one small girl standing below, inside the pod. Aeryn slides onto her backside, blinking. It seems she's amazed it worked. AERYN: Frell me dead.Inside the pod, three more children appear, looking up at Aeryn. Cut to EXT. Moya, John struggling with the pipe again. CHIANA: Have you reached him?John's dislodged by another lurch from Moya and drifts away from the ship, too far to grab a handy cable. Handily, D'Argo appears, grabbing him and pulling him back to Moya's surface. And hey, another reason to get BB into a flying rig! yay! Interestingly, total deja vu on Family Ties here! yay again! D'ARGO: John! I've got you.D'Argo and John fling the cable/pipe whatever thing, away from Moya. JOHN: That's it, Pilot. Moya's free; we're comin' in.Crichton starts moving back toward the hatch, but a glance back shows him that D'Argo's takin' a little 'sit down' JOHN: D'Argo. ( panting ) Aw, man... what are you doin'?Crichton crawls back to where D'Argo is sitting, and sits down next to him. JOHN: Hell... I'm not goin' in without you D'Argo.INTERCUT INT. SPACE STATION -- Vent system Aeryn, leading her trail of young'un's back to the Bar. AERYN: Keep moving... that way...The children file past her AERYN: Zhaan, what's going on? We're getting the dren knocked out of us down here.INTERCUT INT. MOYA Chiana opens the door to the hatch area and darts in, Crichton moves around her, exiting quickly. CHIANA: Is he alive?!Cut to Ext. Corridor-- Crichton's moving and trying to shuck the pressure suit at the same time-- ah. Now 'that's' entertainment-- JOTHEE: Crichton, where is he?!John points toward the hatch way and Jothee runs that way. JOHN: Pilot, are we moving?Cut back to Hatchway. D'Argo's sprawled on the floor, Chiana kneels over him. CHIANA: I thought you were going to die out there.Chiana stands up, and from behind, Jothee tries to place a reassuring hand on her arm, she shakes it off. INTERCUT INT. MOYA -- Transport Hanger Crichton runs in to attend to Borlik. JOHN: Commuter forecast on your travel day: storms expected ( trailing off ) just for you...Crichton's 'witty banter' trails off as he notes that Borlik is no longer in the cryo-pod. BORLIK: I think I'll be able to share my purification. It took all my strength, but I was able to reconfigure the magnetics and stick here. By the time you cut me down, the storm will be upon us. ( resumes chanting )CUT TO Pilot's Den, Pilot is laughing maniacally! CUT TO EXT. SPACE, The storm funnel approaches Moya's stern. CUT TO Pilot's Den, Pilot, still laughing maniacally! Engages a control, detaching the door Borlik is 'stuck to'. CUT TO Close on Borlik's face, screaming CUT TO EXT. SPACE, The door moves quickly away from Moya as she changes course, the storm funnel strikes the door and destroys it. Very nice effect. END ACT IV EPILOGUE INT. SPACE STATION -- The Bar Aeryn brings the kids into the bar. Each slides down the vent and into the bar in turn. Anxious parents standby to gather the lost children into their arms. A serious 'non-Peacekeeperish' moment for Aeryn. Crichton enters the bar, passing behind Zhaan and Stark, and approaching Aeryn, hands her a bottle of 'water', and a hand up. ( They both grin. ) AERYN: There'll be a back log.INTERCUT INT. MOYA-- Somewhere. Chiana and Jothee sit on either side of a doorway, the wall between them. CUT TO D'Argo in the Center Chamber, he's holding the 'male half' of the Union Tattoo... watching Chiana and Jothee on the holo display JOTHEE: ... and if I stay, I'll probably do it again.D'Argo watches this, tears in his eyes. He takes the union tattoo, and places it in the 'food tray dispenser' -- he sprinkles something over the top of it and shortly it bursts into flames. Burning briefly, but very bright, before it burns out. ROLL END CREDITS |
