Andromeda (2000–2005): Season 2, Episode 14 - Be All My Sins Remembered - full transcript

Beka receives news of a former crew-member's death and that she was named as his next-of-kin in his will. As they travel to claim his belongings, Harper and Beka tell Dylan more about their comrade.

Ha! Gotcha! Reverse hold, how
many points is that?
It nets out at zero.

Ouch! Tell me again why this
is good for me.

A chain is only as strong as
it's weakest link.

Who you calling
a 'link' Anasazi?

Now this warship, her
capabilities, it makes us
complacent.

We may have to engage
the enemy using nothing
but our teeth and nails.

Ow!

See. Me. I like to shoot my
enemies, preferably while hiding
behind a nice big rock.

Beka, I need ...

Whoa! Excuse me I, I, uh, I
didn't know that you two
were uh...

What were you?
Nothing.



Shut up! Just ,uh, a little hand
to uh, hand.

What's up?

Oh, uh, this.

Andromeda just received
a data file from Cascada.

The mining colony?
Yes.

That old hunk of rock, what do
they want with us?

Well it's not us, it's you.

It's about one of your old
crew mates, a Robert Jensen.

Bobby Jensen.

Damn I haven't heard that name
in a long time.

He was a mate,

on the crew of the Maru
back in the day

before Harper signed on.

So, uh, what's he gotten
himself into this time



and what's it gonna cost me?

He's dead Beka.

He's named you as his next
of kin

and they want to you
to identify the body.

I'm sorry.

Sorry you can't spare me,
you need me for,

for what?

the planet, Hazen-Brown.

I thought you said there was
a disaster we're all
rushing off to--

Beka just take the Maru
and go.

Next of kin?

Not quite.

Just, uh,

the love of my life.

He is
the last guardian
of a fallen civilization,

A hero from another time,

faced with the universe
and chaos,

Dylan Hunt recruits an unlikely
crew and sets out to re-unite
the galaxies.

On the starship Andromeda,
hope lives again.

Rommie, situation report
please on planet Hazen-Brown.

Tectonic plates crashing into
each other, lava,

ash and panicky Chichian
climbing over each other
in an effort to save themselves.

Well we promised them evacuation
passage and that is what
we'll do.

There you are. Well, I prepped
the Ma for your trip
to Cascada,

Anyways, I just thought it'd
be a good time for you to have
friends around.

I appreciate the offer but, um,

I'm gonna be okay.

I'm a good listener,
you know

I know you are.

Look, Bobby and I, we broke
up a long time ago

and I'm over him.

Go.

Oh Trance. Good.
Take a slip fighter
to Hazen-Brown,

try to organize evacuees
as best you can in advance
of the Andromeda.

Go.
Going.

I'm coming with you.

Dylan, I'm not gonna faint
at the sight of a dead body,

I've seen plenty of them.

So have I Beka. I've buried
more crew than I can count
and no one should do it alone.

Besides you can't launch
the Ma until I order
Andromeda to open the hanger.

You would lock me in?
Oh, absolutely.

In that case, welcome aboard.

Thank you.
Thank you.

I was not talking
to you Harper.

Come on, I don't take
up that much oxygen.

Look, I really appreciate
everyone being

so concerned about
my emotional well being...

Whoa, whoa, whoa! You think
I'm coming just to give you
a shoulder to cry on?

That's sweet, but no.

I wanna make sure that freakin'
psycho is good and dead.

How to dump a loser boyfriend
in five easy lessons
by Seamus Harper.

One, two, three, four, five.

I take it you and this Bobby
Jensen didn't get along.

Bobby Jensen was
a self-righteous control freak

with a nasty ass temper.

Does Harper always stay mad
at dead people?

Bobby inspired strong emotion.

Apparently.

Eureka Maru
ready for departure.

Maru you are good to go.

Good luck on Hazen-Brown.

Tyr, you've got command.

I know you'll display
the appropriate sensitivity
and diplomacy

in dealing with the Chichians

And Tyr,

don't break my ship.

Hey! Oh! Harper. Sorry.

Yeah, boss. No officers quarters
around here.

You can take old Vexpag's bunk.

Vexpag?

Yeah, another former crew mate.
He's dead too.

Dead?

Don't worry, it wasn't catching

he had a problem
with his EVA suit.

Pleasant.
Yeah.

Well, ow!

I've had worse.

So Mr. Harper,
about Bobby Jensen.

Hero, not a hero, I mean
what was he?

He was an idiot.

Beka, she's...

she's too loyal
for her own good.

Hey, you wanna meet him?

Yeah, you wanna
meet Bobby Jensen?

Sure.
Hang on.

I guess.

All right.

Dylan Hunt,

meet Bobby Jensen.

Hey kid,

welcome to the Eureka Maru.

What are you doing,
recording this?

Sure why the hell not.
Here's the speech.

We are shipmates,
we are not friends.

The tugboat belongs
to Beka Valentine.

Beka Valentine
belongs to me.

You mess with either
one of them,

I'll kill you dead.

Yeah, yeah, whatever.
What is that?

Hang on a second.

What is that? Is that
a cerebral port?

I've always wanted
one of those.

You see that huh? He hit me.

Well, you know you don't
like people touching your
data port either.

Yeah but when I hit them
it's with love.

And besides, it doesn't take
a genius

to see understandably he
uh, he felt threatened.

By you?

Harper no offense
but that guy masses
95 kilos easy.

I mean jealous.

He saw how
awesome-looking I was

and he thought I was gonna
take Beka--

Dylan,

do not let him show you
what he keeps under his pillow!

I'm afraid to ask.

We're approaching
Cascada system

What do you keep
under the pillow?

Nothing!

What the hell?

Proximity mine, the whole system
is salted with them.

Beka! Get us
the hell outta here! Now!

Beka shut down the engines.

A minefield, you flew us
into a minefield?

Well it wasn't supposed to
be there now was it,
so mea very culpa.

Shutting down.

Contact the nearest
freighter ship,

Get an SOS to Andromeda.

Cut all power.

Contacting, SOSing,
cutting all power.

Cut all power?

Unless you'd like
to find out first-hand

whether these
mines home in on our EM

emissions, yes, all power.

Now what?

One thing I know
about minefields.

When you walk
into one,

you hold still.

There. Like a camping trip,

not that I ever went on one.

Well, that is exactly what
we're gonna do.
Camp in our bunks

and wait for Andromeda to arrive
with proper mine detection
and disarmament.

Anyone know
any good campfire stories?

You do.
Hmm?

The story

of Bobby Jensen.

to hear it.
Nah!
Oh come on, I'd like

Bobby was Bobby.

Humph!

I think you would
have liked him, Dylan.

Beka!

Six o'clock, I got
your back!

What a surprise.

Normally when the going gets
tough, my partners in crime
get going.

Yeah, they say there's no
honor among thieves.

But you are cuter than normal.
So, anything to share?

You mean about those industrial
diamonds we're supposed
to deliver?

I was thinking maybe
they're not that industrial.

It's my haul
fair and square.

Am I supposed to turn
down paying customers

just because of bad
background checks?

You know what your problem is,
Captain Valentine?

You need to fight for something
bigger than diamonds and gold.
You need a cause.

Maybe.

What cause are you fighting
for Bobby Jensen?

You.

We have so much in common.

Yeah, come on.

It was a sweet little operation.
Hello Cascada, goodbye Cascada.

And then Bobby found out

they were digging Thorium 232
in those mines.

Thorium 232?

That stuff's
incredibly radioactive.

Well somebody obviously forgot
to tell the Cascadans

because they got about a million
Muganis digging the stuff
for them.

The Muganis? That's
Cascada's aboriginal population.

Oh, you mean
those amphibian swamp dwellers
with the bad teeth.

Harper!

Bobby, always said they
were slaves on their own world.

Bobby, Bobby, Bobby.

He was such a sucker
for a hard luck story.

Anyway, Bobby started organizing
a Mugani miner's union.

The company was remarkably
unreceptive to the idea.

You're right Beka.

I think I would have liked him.

Yeah. There was a lot
to like.

You know what I love?

Your arms, your legs.

Really?
Mm hmm.

Call me crazy but I think
there's something sexy
about bodily perfection.

Hmmm. And me, do you lo--

Quit while you're ahead.

Let's talk about something else.

Like what's this new haul
of yours and how much
is it worth to us?

Computers. And a lot.

We pick them up on Earth
and deliver them back
on Cascada.

And uh, who's this Earth
kid who's helping us?

Seamus something
or other Harper.

A street kid, he wants
off Earth.

Yeah, well, you saw what a dump
that place is.

Who can blame him?

Well he'll do his bit
and then...

So, you lied to him?

Just trying to travel light.

Now, you are really something.

Something? Just...

not enough.

Just...

Don't ever lie to me.

Never.

You see why I hated him?

Hey, I stuck up for you,
I didn't even know you.

Beka, you and Bobby weren't
in this bed were you?

And why do you hate
Bobby anyway?

He saved your life.

What! When?

Way to sneak in, Smendrick.

It's Harper.

And trust me I know what
I'm doing.

I'm an expert.

I wanted to get my cargo, not
give every Nietzschean within
earshot a 21-gun salute.

Hey, you're er...

pretty hot. You look smart too.

What are you doing locked
up on that junk ship with
a steroid case like Bobby?

You could have any number
of candidates,
sterling candidates

He has his good points,
believe me.

They're they are.

Screw you!

One of his good points?

He's very protective.

Harper, you're going to have
to do a better job

of convincing me that Bobby
was out to get you

because so far it sounds like
he was playing on your side.

Oh come on!

I saved the day
in the end.

Oh please! You were
such a newbie.

I was just glad he didn't get
space sick all over my ship.

Wow! I never been
in space before.

Are you serious?

Yeah.

I never been more than three
clicks from the human ghetto
in Boston.

But I can sure get used to this.

I like it!

The air don't
stink here.

Filtered fresh daily.

Uh, is that normal?

A missile to the aft cargo pod
by the feel of it.

What's the matter? No one
ever shoot at you before?

Yeah. But I've never been
shot in the aft.

Besides, on Earth
you can always run away.

Same here, except in space
you can run to Saturn.

There's plenty of debris
and non-specific radiation

that should keep us safe
from Nietzschean sensors

until we figure
out our next move.

Nietzscheans.

All right, all that stuff I said
about loving space?

I officially take it all back.

No way. We are not gonna
jettison the cargo.

So you would rather face
a Nietzschean hit squad

than dump cargo?

Bobby they torture their allies.

I would kill anyone
who tried to hurt you.

You know that.

Yes, but that wasn't
the question.

The Muganis need
those computers Beka, okay?

- Uh, can I say something?
- No!

Look why don't you go outside
and play while Mommy
and Daddy talk. Okay?

Fine! Fine!

If you think you can steal
a hundred Nietzschean surface
to air missiles

and not get stopped,
don't let me interrupt.

surface to air missiles?

Yeah. What?

What did you think
as in those crates?

Computers.

I was told we
were carrying computers.

Okey dokie. I guess I'd
better be going now.

Missiles?

They have computers in them.

Get your grubby paws
off my cargo!

Keep him away from me!

I just brought it down to check
it out. I was only trying
to help!

He's not going to shoot you.

That depends on what he did
with the wiring.

I'm good with mechanical things.

I can re-rig your
missiles so.

They're not my missiles,
they belong to the Muganis.

It's their only hope
for freedom.

We're risking our necks selling
weapons to the Muganis.

You've seen how
the Muganis have been exploited
in the thorium mines, Beka.

It breaks your heart.

And you're breaking mine.

I asked you not to lie to me.

They found us.

Power everything back up, now!

You, Hooper, go with me.

It's Harper.

Hey, did you do it?
Is it going to work?

Is my name Seamus
Zelazny Harper?

God I hope not.

Prepare to jettison cargo.

Authorization Beka Valentine

Authorization not recognized.

What do you mean not recognized?

It's Bobby.

He's making a run
for Cascada.

Oh man, I gotta get me
one of those.

You. Go back and stop him.

What? Me?

No, no, no, he's big and scary.
I'm just small and cute.

You want a place to stay
or not?

You crew on my ship,
do as I say.

A place to stay?

All right, all right,
now we're talking.

I can do this.

Bobby, stop!

Bobby, I mean it, put him down.

Harper dump the cargo.

There's a switch behind you.

Jettisoning cargo.

Beka, if I had told you,
you would have said no.

Damn straight!

If we made the big score

and retired,
we'd be complacent.

Living happily and rich
ever after was supposed
to be the plan.

You'd become restless.

You know you would.

This is the perfect cause.

We can help
with what we know.

I don't do causes Bobby.

No Beka, everybody
does causes.

Only question is,

will you pick yours

or will it pick you?

In that case, I pick mine.

You're looking at her.

Go.

Just go.

Sometimes I think
I should have gone with him.

I just wasn't
that evolved yet.

No way Beka, you made
the right choice.

Besides he's dead now.

Harper, he was right,
you know.

The cause did pick me,

you guys.

Then I'm glad it worked
out the way it did.

Me too.

Limpet mine

Or worse.

With all the sensors
down it could be a--

Bobby!
Beka are you happy to see me?

Your force lance,
give it up now.

I wish I could. But I
don't want to.

Tut, tut, tut.
don't be like that.

What in the hell
is going on?

What's going on?

Are you going to pick
your crew over me again?

Come on Hunt, your lance,
drop it.

I know who you are.
I know what you can do.

So, nice and slow.

Margot get their weapons.

You're a little different
from what Beka described Bobby.

Didn't you get the message?

I died.

Not enough.

Close, I stepped
on a land mine.

Nice to see you Seamus.

It's Harper.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Sorry it didn't finish you off

but, you know
you're looking great, Bobby.

Smoking.

Just like my gun arm
after a high rate of fire.

We still don't know
what's going on here.

The Muganis have finally risen
up against their oppressors.

That explains
the minefield.

But since you faked your death
to get us here,

I'm guessing the war
is not going well.

No, not too bad.

Considering that aborigines
with rocks and bottles

are up against colonists
with nuclear arsenals.

We need help.

Well, we are always willing
to help

those who have a worthy cause.

Good.

Because helping them

is the only way you get
out of here alive.

You two, keep an eye on them

while I refamiliarize
myself with the cockpit.

So,

you're the ex.

Funny, he never took
out blonds.

Funny, he never took
out the trash either.

I see you've changed him.

Beka, cockpit now.

I'll be okay.

You came.

Now I know you care.

I thought you were dead.

Sorry about the little fib,

but if I had told you what I
wanted to do,

you wouldn't have come.

Damn straight.

Funny, isn't it?

People won't show
up to help you

but they'll show
up to your funeral.

You want us to help
the aborigines.

I want you to help me.

I want you to join the cause.

At gunpoint?

He doesn't want you.

He wants the Andromeda.

What are you doing here?

What are you doing here?

Look, you want Dylan
to negotiate a treaty

between the Abos
and the colonists?
Consider it done.

Bobby's not looking
for peace, Beka.

Margot, take Beka for a walk.

I'll tell you

what I'm looking for.

In 24 hours I want
Andromeda Ascendant here
in the Cascada system

with a full load of her kinetic
missiles, AP guns
and attack drones.

You know your
High Guard weaponry.

I trained from the best manuals,

Argosy Special Forces.

You Black Ops guys have
some great moves.

Yeah, we have some
great moves.

Andromeda doesn't negotiate
with hostage takers.

Ever.

Dylan, Dylan.

Is that what you think
you are? Hostages?

We're all good guys here.

I'm listening.

There are eight hundred
million Muganis on Cascada,

50 thousand colonists.

The natives dredge the swamps,
mine the ore

and the colonists
keep the money.

Why? Because they have nukes.

The Muganis have slingshots.

You're just here to level
out the playing field.

I'd rather get
all the facts first.

Three missile strikes,
three major cities,
that's all I need.

Then the Mugani Liberation Army
will triumph.

With you at the head.

You have seen Lem.

The Muganis are not exactly
ready for self-government.

Assuming there are any left
to govern.

You are talking about starting
a planetary civil war.

Millions of the Muganis
will die.

So here's my idea.

Power share
with the colonists.

There's no power sharing
with the people who did this.

This is what to tell
the Andromeda.

No ad-libs.

Andromeda , proceed immediately
to Cascada.

Best Speed. Dylan out.

His heart is racing,

his breathing is shallow
and his eyelids are fluctuating.

There's something he's
not telling us.

No, he's definitely telling
us something

Andromeda.
One.

proceed immediately to Cascada.
Four.

Best speed.
Oh.

Dylan out.

Five.

AC fourteen five.

Argosy code fourteen five.

it means Dylan has been taken
hostage in a war zone.

I am to approach with caution

and be prepared to fire
on his position.

He's telling us to kill him?

If necessary, yes.

That is exactly what he
is telling us to do.

Lem. That is your name right?

No talk.

How long have you been
traveling with Bobby?

Long enough.

No talk.

Stop!

Down.

Up.

After you.
Down!

Move.

It doesn't look very
comfortable, Lem.

No talk!

Down! Now!

Lem, tell me
about the Muganis.

If I remember
my comparative linguistics,

Mugani means
'reed', right?

The reed people?

My grandfather,

he could hide
in the wet mud for hours,

breathe through hollow reed.

Wait for frogs.

we were great hunters.

They drained the swamps.

Bringing down weapons
of mass destruction

on the colonists won't bring
back the swamps, Lem.

Maybe not,

but maybe it will
make them go away.

Maybe, but at a cost, Lem.

Many of your people will die.

They're already dying.

Lem,

there's a better way.

You be quiet now.

Bobby, let them go.

Dylan never
did anything to you.

Never did anything
for me either.

If you're not with
me you're against me.

He's not against you.

He's against your methods.

I can't remember you being
so squeamish

when we flew contraband
under the FTA sensors.

I don't remember you being
so brutal.

I remember a Bobby
who touched me.

With arms and legs
that you loved.

You don't think
that I remember?

What did they do to you, Bobby?

What I told them to do.

To make me invulnerable.

Listen to me.

you leave them be

and I'll stay.

Just you and me,

together, just like before.

Just like before?

No. I didn't think so.

It's why I have to win.

It's all I got.

Where'd Lem go?

He's taking a nap.

Mugwumps are nocturnal.

You surprise me, Margot.

Why? Because I
can say nocturnal?

No, because you say Mugwump.

Debasing them with slurs.

I thought you were here
to fight for the dignity of
the Mugani people.

Bobby's here for the dignity
of the Muganis.

I'm here for Bobby.

Oh, that could get you killed.

I'm not afraid of dying.

Besides, we could actually win.

And then you can help

Bobby remake Cascada
in his image.

Well, it is good to be Queen.

And I'm sure that you have
a role set up

for all the Muganis.

Well, they're already trained
and ready to serve.

Well, if you'll excuse me

I have to go check
on my Mugwump.

You do that.

You heard her Lem,

ready to serve
in the royal court of Margot?

She's not like Bobby!

I'm glad you know
what you're doing Lem.

Glad you know
what you're doing.

What is taking
Andromeda so long?

You know,

for the life of me I'm trying
to remember

why I was ever jealous of you.

Because I was with Beka.

Uh, no.

I always knew she'd get smart
and dump you.

I think it was because
of that data port in your neck.

Mine's bigger.

No, it's not.

What the hell was that?

What's he doing?

Just rattling your cage, Bobby.

And what was that?

One of Andromeda's
grappling harpoons.

It sounds like she's opening
hostage negotiations.

Oh, What a ship.

She's beautiful.

Bucky cables. She's trying
to pull us in.

Hailing Andromeda Ascendant.

Hailing Andromeda Ascendant.

Talk to me, damn it!

Why is your ship not responding?

Rommie won't listen
to ransom demands.

The only person
she'll talk to is me.

Well, maybe this will attract
her attention.

AP overload
in twenty minutes.

Andromeda ! I know you can hear
me now.

I've set the AP tanks
on the Maru to breach.

Either you surrender control
to me now,

or I turn your captain
into space dust.

Be my guest.

Hey Lem!

What?
Sit.

Talk to me. We're all gonna
be vaporized, we might as well
get to know each other.

No.

Bobby will win.

Bobby always wins.

No offense but I think you
picked the wrong team.

Bobby's not even playing
on your side.

Bobby fights the colonists.

Yes and the colonists are wrong.
I know that.

They have victimized
you and all the Muganis.

But remember,

the colonists made you slaves.

Don't let someone else
do it all over again.

I don't take orders
from you!

That's good. That's good, Lem.

You shouldn't.

Well, that's the spirit.

Estimated time to proton
anti-proton event

Eighteen minutes, 32 seconds.

Apparently, we are to try
our hand at a game
of Brinkmanship.

Provide me with options!

I'm analyzing available data

and exploring all possible
courses of action.

Being the most powerful warship
in three galaxies,

please provide me with
something more impressive
than do nothing.

We can't run.

So, should I just hand
over my armory? No.

I would evacuate the planet
but I can't airlift

72 million Muganis per minute.

Or, perhaps you would prefer
that I dematerialize
Dylan's body

from the Maru and magically
rematerialize it here,
on command?

Your choices are to let
the Eureka Maru self-destruct

which would destroy
both vessels,

or to launch a pre-emptive
strike destroying
the Maru only.

They're your choices,

acting Captain Tyr Anasazi

Then by all means,

let's risk our lives for Dylan.

Hey, gorgeous. I know you're
charming and all

but do you mind stop putting
ideas in my Mugwump's tiny
little brain?

It confuses him.

Lem is a lot smarter than you
give him credit for, gorgeous.

In fact I suspect most people
are smarter than you give them
credit for.

Hey it's good to see you.

Hiya! I'm gonna blow
the lock.

No, no, no! It's rigged
to explode.

Oh.
You need the key.

I'll be right back.

AP overload
in fifteen minutes.

Stop.

Back to the cockpit.

It's over Bobby.
No, it's not.

Beka! I told you I'm a lot
less vulnerable than I used
to be.

Don't you see?

If they cared about you
as much as I do,

they wouldn't let it go
on this long.

No, Bobby, they just care about
a cause bigger than themselves.

Causes, causes.

AP overload
in ten minutes.

There was a time when you loved
me, Bobby, but I wasn't ready.

You're still not.

You wanted me to share your
cause,

now I do. All of us do.

Freedom for the Muganis.

And now you're with Hunt,
not me.

Dylan never lied to me.

Really?

Beka!

Oh, Beka!

Overload
in five minutes.

Lem, get Harper. Seal that
fissure now! GO!

Time to combustion. Wait.

The AP count has leveled off.

The engine
is not going critical.

Dylan did that.

We are in geosynchronous orbit.
Rommie can handle it

I know.

Keeping busy helps.

So, um,

how are the peace talks going?

Difficult.

There's a lot of years of hurt.
A lot of years of mistrust.

No one wants to risk
feeling vulnerable.

Beka, about Bobby--
I know, I

I think when they made his
new body they took his humanity

No, no one can ever take that
away from you.
