Dark Matter (2015–2017): Season 1, Episode 11 - Episode #1.11 - full transcript

[NARRATOR]
Previously on Dark Matter.

[TRUFFAULT] It's a
Traugott research facility.

Our intelligence indicates
they're about to make

a major discovery.

And you want us to steal it.

See? We're already finishing
each others thoughts.

[THREE]
Who the hell are these clowns?

[TRUFFAULT]
They're your new partners.

[TWO] You guys have any idea
what we're really stealing?

[ONE]
Nice work.

That's my gun.



Not anymore.

[TWO grunts]

[TWO] If you think I'm
gonna give you anything

you can forget it.

[WEXLER] Oh no, no, no, no,
no, not you. Your friends.

See, they can either
give me the code,

or they can watch you
get blown out into space.

So what's it gonna be, folks?

Don't give him anything.

Hey, hey, hey! Okay, I'll
tell you what I'm gonna do,

I'm gonna count down from
five, and if nobody speaks

by the time I get
to zero, out she goes.

Five, four, three, two--

--M--
--Maplethorpe!



The code is Maplethorpe,
with an "e."

Check it out.

We did the job.

Why are you doing this?

[WEXLER] The collective
bounty on this crew is worth

as much as the device alone.

Plus, this way
we get to keep the ship.

It's what I like
to call a win-win-win.

[CAIN]
Yeah, it's Cain. I'm in.

We got it.

[WEXLER]
You know, it's really too bad,

we could've had some
real fun together.

[TWO gasps]

--[SlX] No!
--[FIVE gasps]

Settle down!

Settle down now...
or she won't be the only one.

[Sobs]

[VONS] Now we're gonna take
a little walk together...

...nice and slow.

Now move.

[CAIN]
Everybody inside the vault.

[CAIN grunts]

[THREE yells]

[THREE grunts]

[VONS]
Hey!

We done?!

Son-of-a-bitch broke my nose!

[VONS]
Stand down, Cain.

You're a dead man.

Stand down, Cain!

Everybody in the vault.

Yeah, now.

[FOUR grunts]

[SIX] We need to find something
to cut ourselves free.

[FIVE] I have a knife.
It's in my boot.

They never frisked me.

I guess sometimes it pays
not to be taken seriously.

Since when do you
start carrying a knife?

Really?

[FOUR] It's not going to
do us much good

as long as we're
locked in here.

Can't believe she's gone...

He didn't have to kill her.

We gave him the code.
Why did he do that?

Guys like that think they
need to send a message,

keep us from messing with them.

Well, he made a mistake,

'cause I'm gonna do a hell
of a lot worse than that.

When we get out of here,
I'm gonna kill 'em all.

I just signaled our
friends at Volkov-Rusi.

They have our position and
they'll be here in two hours.

Once we offload the device

we'll head to
the nearest G.A. outpost.

What the hell
happened to you?

[VONS] lshida gave him
a little trouble.

[WEXLER] Oh yeah?
Well, you'll get revenge

when you cash your
share of the bounty on his head,

and not before,
do you understand?

Fine.

Good.

Now, there's
one other thing...

[crashing,
THREE grunts]

You find anything useful?

[FIVE] Nothing that's gonna
get us through that door.

[crashing]

Half these crates
are still locked.

I tell you, when this is all
over, I'm gonna get a blowtorch,

come down here and cut
every one of them open.

[VONS]
Back off!

You managed to cut yourselves
free, congratulations.

Yeah, now you guys can scratch
yourselves while you wait for us

to hand you over to the G.A.

Hey, Corso,
you're coming with us.

[CAIN]
Let's go.

What're you going
to do with him?

[chuckles]

Just a few friendly questions.

Agh!

[groans]

You didn't even
ask me anything yet!

Oh, I know,
I know, I just, ah...

I like to set the
tone, you know?

--Ugh!
--[WEXLER] Ooh!

--Gah!
--Woof!

Ah!

Now, do you remember
a small-time crook

working out of
the Adara sector,

goes by the name
of Danny Bones?

If I say no, are you
gonna hit me again?

[WEXLER] I just want you to
tell me the truth.

Then no, I don't remember.

Ugh:

He remembers you.

He said you
were a big talker,

especially after you'd
had a few drinks.

In particular,
he remembers one evening

where you both
got quite inebriated,

and you told him
a very interesting story.

About a secret stash
on some uninhabited moon,

where you've been putting
away loot from all your jobs.

You said it was
worth millions.

I gotta be honest,
it doesn't sound like me.

Really.

Yeah, usually I just blow all
my money on booze and women.

Gah!

I'm not lying!

I don't remember anything
about any secret stash.

[WEXLER sighs]

So, ah, are you telling me
that Danny Bones is a liar?

Maybe.

Is he a friend of yours?

No.

Then yeah, I'd say he's lying.

Hah.

[WEXLER]
Ehh.

This guy's all right, eh?

Why don't we just
cut to the chase?

G.A. wants us for trial.

Which means if you want the
bounty, you gotta keep us alive.

You can't push this all
the way and you both know it.

I could always
cut off your fingers.

No.

Couple of cuts and
bruises is one thing,

you try to turn somebody in

who's been maimed
and disfigured?

You're gonna have
to give an explanation.

Smart guy. huh?

You got an answer
for everything.

[ONE] I know the bounty
on me isn't millions,

but it's a tidy sum.

You're not gonna risk
it on the off chance

that some story
you heard is true.

It's not worth it.

Might be worth it
just to shut you up.

[WEXLER]
No, he's right.

[CAIN]
Seriously?

You let him talk
you down just like that?

Did I say that? No.

We're just gonna
try this another way.

[THREE]
This is ridiculous!

[Crash]

[THREE] There's gotta be
something around here

--we can use.
--[FIVE] I already told you.

There's nothing.

[THREE]
nothing!

[THREE]
What about the vents? Hmm?

Why don't you
crawl out the vents,

open the door
from the outside?

There are no
vents in this room.

It's a sealed vault.
That's the whole point.

You might want to calm down,
we've only got so much air.

[THREE yells]

Come on, man! You tell me
to calm down one more time,

see what it gets you!

Can we not do this?!

They blew her out into space

while we stood
there and watched!

And we did nothing.

What were we
supposed to do?

I don't know.

Fight back, maybe.

Four and I tried.

Unsuccessfully.

So what, you wanna
just give up now?!

No, we're in a position
of severe disadvantage.

The last thing we want
to do is act on emotion.

The whole Zen master
thing doesn't work for me.

Ah, man, bring it.

[CAIN]
Back away.

[THREE]
Bring it!

I said back away!

Come on.

What do you want?

Your buddy Corso
needs a little company.

See I got the idea
from you, Sport.

So, thank you.

Everybody on this ship
is worth money,

alive and relatively unharmed.

Except for her.

There's no bounty on
her head from what I know,

so unlike the rest of you,
she's completely expendable.

So how 'bout we get started.

So I figured we'll start
with one of the little fingers

and... go from there.

Now, I don't really
have anything sharp

to cut it off cleanly,

so we'll just sort of have
to twist it off, is that okay?

She doesn't know
anything, Wexler.

Leave her out of this.

I believe you, I do.

But that's not really the point.

She doesn't have to
know anything.

She just has to feel pain.

What about Commander Truffault?

How are you gonna
explain this to her?

With any luck, I'll never see
Commander Truffault again.

So you're not just screwing us,
you're screwing Mikkei as well?

Where are you
gonna sell the device?

Another corp.?

Y-You got a better offer?

That's not really
any of your business,

and anyway, we're kind of
getting off the topic here.

[ONE] I don't have a secret
stash on some moon somewhere!

I'm telling you the truth!

[WEXLER]
Mm-hmm.

See, ah-- Maybe, but I can't
take your word for it.

Now I've heard your rep,
but I'm starting to think

it's all just a bunch of talk.

I don't think there's
anything you'd rather do less

than watch rne hurt this girl.

And anyway, we'll know by
the third finger for sure.

[ONE]
Come on.

We both know you're
not gonna do that.

We're thieves,
we're not animals.

Well, you know,
there are other things

that Cain and I could do to her.

--Might even be more fun.
--[CAIN] Yeah...

[WEXLER] Would you,
ah, like to see that?

[CAIN chuckles]

You're a sick son-of-a-bitch.

[TASH] Wexler, Cain,
we've got a problem.

[WEXLER]
What?

[TASH]
You need to get to the bridge.

[WEXLER] Just as it was
getting interesting...

To be continued.

I don't suppose you
have that knife on you?

Six has it.

I'm tied too tight anyway.

Yeah...

[ONE] I'm sorry about
what happened to Two.

I'm sorry you had to see that.

I know she meant a lot to you.

I don't think
I was the only one.

No, you weren't.

[VONS]
The ship was going through

some kind of self-diagnostic
when this came up.

Something to do with the
FTL drive, but I-I can't...

Right, let me see.

You understand all that?

Of course.

Well, maybe not all of it.

If the FTL drive is offline,
we can't jump.

We can't jump,
we are screwed.

Volkov-Rusi
will be here soon.

Maybe they can help us.

Or maybe they'll
just take the device,

keep the payment
and leave us stranded.

We can't trust them.

We could reactivate
the Android.

It's too dangerous.

What about the hostages?

Maybe one of them can help.

You know,
the Android once told me

that... when all this caught up
with us, I'd be the lucky one,

because I wasn't one
of the original crew.

It's kinda funny how it turned
out to be the exact opposite.

Hey, I'm just gonna tell them
I'm not the real Jace Corso.

That'll make them back off.

[FIVE]
You'll never convince them.

I have the DNA scan.

I'll make them believe me.

[FIVE]
What good would that do?

Then you'll just be
expendable, too.

I'm not just gonna sit here
and let them hurt you.

I'd rather that than
you sacrifice yourself

for no reason.

[Sobs]

Please, please, just when they
get back, keep your mouth shut.

Sorry, I can't do it.

You know, you may not be
one of the original crew,

technically I'm not either,

but you're definitely one of
the bravest people on this ship.

You're in luck, kid.

Looks like you got
a chance to prove

you're not so
expendable after all.

Well?

If I help you and
you get the drive back,

what's to stop you
from killing me?

Oh no, no,
no, no, no.

See, you're-you're looking
at this all wrong, okay?

If you help us and
we get the drive back,

then you'll have shown
that you're useful enough

to keep around.

But if you don't,
I definitely will kill you.

Yeah, that's what I thought.

What is it?

[FIVE]
We've had this problem before.

One of the forward
couplings has disengaged

because it's detecting the
possibility of a fatal overload.

Can you fix it?

A real fix would take
a week in dry-dock,

but... we can make it work
like we did before.

Only thing is,
someone has to go outside.

[laughter]

Oh, that's rich.

I'm not lying.

Last time,
we sent the Android.

I'll do it.

Just tell me what
I need to know.

Seriously... How can he be
sleeping at a time like this?

Hey.

He's conserving oxygen.

You should be happy.

There's only
so much in here.

[SIX] There's nothing we can
be doing right now anyways.

To him, that's an
efficient use of time.

Sure, if you're a robot.

He feels things
same as you.

He just doesn't show it.

What happened to Two
hit you pretty hard, huh?

Just caught me
off guard is all.

I didn't think
they'd really do it.

We all know there was
something between you two.

It's a small ship.

It was only once.

Didn't mean a thing.

Uh-huh...

Before we went
into those pods,

there must have been times
when we lost people, right?

Most likely.

That's the life.

And if you believe half of
what people say about us,

I'm guessing that we
never let it slow us down.

Ever.

Maybe we really are
different this time around.

That's what she
was hoping for.

[ONE groans]

[FOUR]
You okay?

Where's Five?

[FIVE] This button right here
activates your mag boots.

Coupling is
located in a trench

about 50 meters
from the airlock.

YOU good?

Yeah.

[WEXLER] All right, we're gonna
monitor your progress

from the bridge.
You got this.

I hate kids.

Ah, you can kill her
when we're done here.

All right,
you're good to go.

Okay, depressurizing.

[VONS]
Depressurization complete.

[VONS]
Activating mag boots.

And I'm opening
the outer door.

[VONS]
All right, I'm outside.

You know,
I got to say...

...it's pretty
beautiful out here.

You can write a
poem about it later.

Get the job done.

[VONS]
Understood.

[VONS] I can see the trench
where the coupling's housed.

It's directly
ahead of me.

[VONS grunts]

[VONS]
What the hell?!

[VONS]
I'm losing air pressure!

What are you talking about?

[VONS gasping, wheezing]

[VONS]
My mag boots are deactivating!

Can you identity
where the breach is?

[VONS gasps, wheezes]

He's off the ship!

[WEXLER]
Vons, do you read me?

Vons!

[radio static]

Do something!

It's too late.

What the hell
just happened?!

I-I don't know.

[beeping]

That's impossible...

[TASH]
What?

[WEXLER] Someone's
pressurizing the airlock.

Are you sure the
prisoners are secure?

Yes, positive.

I've got the door
monitored from here.

It's been locked the whole time.

Who else is on this ship?!

No one.

[TASH]
You're lying.

[gasps]

Take her and put
her with the others.

Get down there
and check the airlock.

Now!

That's far enough.

You sent Vons out there.

He volunteered.

I-I was just
trying to help.

The whole thing
was your idea.

What did you do?!

What happened to him?!

I don't know!

I didn't do anything.

--Lying little bitch!
--[FIVE grunts]

[TASH grunts]

You're supposed to be dead.

Yeah? Sorry to disappoint.

[BOTH grunting]

[BOTH grunting, growling]

I thought
you were gone.

Yeah, yeah, so did I.

What happened?

When I figure it out,
I'll tell you.

[TWO]
Where are the others?

They're still in the vault.

Wexler's on the bridge and
Cain went down to the airlock.

Good. Let's go, come on.

You guys
hear something?

[thumping]

[TWO]
Guys!

[thumping]

[TWO]
Door's too thick.

How much air do you
think they have left?

[FIVE]
I don't know. Not much.

They changed the code.

I'll get that code from
Wexler one way or another.

In the meantime, I want
you to get into the vents.

You find a safe hiding
place and stay there.

It's not a discussion. Now go.

[CAIN] Wexler, you ain't
gonna believe this.

Tash is dead.

The hell are you
talking about?

Are you telling me that
little girl managed to kill her?

I don't know what happened,
but she ain't just taking a nap.

You find that little bitch,
and when you do,

you don't stop to chat,

you just put one
right in her brain!

Do you understand me?!

Roger that.

[ringing]

[DIMITRIEV CAPTAIN]
This is the VRC Dimitriev.

We have a shuttle
inbound off your port side.

Do you have the device?

Yeah, we got it.

Ah, we just got a little
bit of a situation here.

Two teams, fan out.

[ONE coughs]

Is anyone else getting
a bit lightheaded?

[SIX]
The air is getting thin.

[ONE]
We've got to make a plan,

while we can
still think straight.

Hey, don't everybody
talk at once.

We're supposed to be
good at this sort of thing.

Some of us are, anyway.

--Hey!
--Huh?

I'm in this as
much as you are.

--[THREE laughs]
--[FOUR] Not really.

What is that
supposed to mean?

[FOUR] If they turn us in,
sooner or later the authorities

will realize that you're
not the real Jace Corso.

And when they do,
they'll release you.

He's got a point.

We've got nothing to lose,
but you sure as hell do.

So when we
make our move,

you should just get
down and stay down.

You really
think I'd do that?

We're past the point of
every man for himself.

If we're gonna go down fighting,
we're gonna do it together.

Look, I know we've
had our differences.

Some of us more
than others, but...

...but that's not
important now.

The Android's down...

...Two's dead...

...and they've got Five.

She's out there all
by herself, helpless.

[ONE]
It's up to us!

Nobody's gonna
do this for us.

We have to
do it ourselves.

[blows landing,
grunting]

When they come through that
door, I say we take 'em down

and we take
'em down hard!

Yeah...

[ONE] And we show them what the
men of the Raza are made of!

[yelling, grunting]

We may not have
been able to help Two.

But we can make
the bastards pay.

Damn straight!

Nope...

[SIX]
Ah... hey... let's take it easy.

[SIX grunts]

Why don't you come
have a seat for a minute?

[ONE] Yeah, maybe
just for a minute...

[SIX]
Good speech, though...

Even if it was mostly
the hypoxia talking.

[laughter]

[THREE coughs]

[laughter continues]

[WEXLER]
I heard gunfire.

What the hell's
going on down there?!

[LEADER]
We've got men down.

We're in pursuit.

Son-of-a-bitch...

[crashing]

[SOLDIERS scream]

Hey. hey...

You need to know I understand.

I appreciate that.

What?

What are we talking about?

Revenge!

Revenge for what
they did to Two.

You. Want. Revenge.

So do I.

Turns out that we're not
that different after all, huh?

I don't know...

[THREE] And I used to think that
you didn't have it in you, man.

But no, that's not it.

It's that you have never
been put in the position

where you hate
someone so much

that you just
wanna kill them.

I wouldn't be so
sure about that.

Huh.

[CAIN]
That's far enough!

Drop your weapon.

I said drop
your weapon!

I have never seen anyone
survive being spaced before.

That is quite a trick.

Think you could survive
a bullet between the eyes?

I say we try it
and find out.

This is for Vons and Tash.

[gun shots]

Are you all right?

I'm fine. Are you?

Yeah.

I'm sorry, I know I'm supposed
to be hiding right now.

I'm not gonna complain.

[Two]
Let's go!

[WEXLER]
Cain, come in.

Cain, goddamnit,
where the hell are you?!

Sergeant, report!

anybody!

[DIMITRIEV CAPTAIN]
This is the Dimitriev.

Wexler, what the hell is
happening on that ship?

Why aren't my
men responding?

I don't know!

I think some of
them might be down.

[DIMITRIEV CAPTAIN] ls this
some kind of double-cross?

No, no! It's, um,
just having a little issue

with the crew of
the Raza, that's all.

[DIMITRIEV CAPTAIN] You were
supposed to have them

--locked down.
--I know!

[sighs] Don't worry.
I can handle it.

[TWO]
You sure about that?

No, that's impossible.
I killed you.

You screwed that up,
like everything else.

[DIMITRIEV CAPTAIN]
Wexler, what is going on?

Who is that?

This is Portia Lin,
commander of the Raza.

We've retaken the ship.

If you want that device,

you're gonna have to
go through us to get it.

What's it gonna be?

[alarm sounds]

Guess they weren't
looking for a fight.

They just jumped to FTL.

Tsk. Shit.

[TWO]
Well, now, we're all alone.

You're gonna let me go.

Am I?

[WEXLER]
Yeah, that's right.

You're gonna fly me to
the nearest space station,

and then when I'm
safely off the ship,

I'll radio back
with the code.

Otherwise, you'll just be
letting them all suffocate.

[sighs]

I've got a better idea.

It seems like we've come
full circle, doesn't it?

You can threaten me all you like

but we both know
you can't kill me.

Without the code,
your friends are dead.

You're forgetting you're
not the only one on this ship

that knows how to open doors.

Oh, the little girl?

You must be kidding.

[TWO]
She's my insurance policy.

In case you decide
to be difficult.

She'll never
crack that vault.

Are you sure you want
to take that chance?

Hah.

Because if she opens that door
before you give me the code,

you will regret it.

I do not have to
kill you quickly.

[click,
air hisses]

If I give you the code, you're
just gonna blow me out anyway.

Why? Because that's
what you did to me?

I am nothing like you, Wexler.

If you give me the code,
I will let you out.

[air hissing]

Okay.

It's 1040-99XD-4.

It's my serial
number in prison.

You copy that?

Got it.

We're ready.

[THREE]
We're ready. Where are they?

It's okay,
we took care of them.

It's over.

Who's we?

I got the door open.

They're all pretty woozy, but I
think they're going to be okay.

Who you talking to?

[WEXLER]
'Kay, I did my part.

Now... it's your turn.

Hey, you said you were
gonna let me out.

[WEXLER]
Hey, quit screwing around!

All right, you're not
a cold-blooded killer.

You're not like me, remember?!

After today,
I don't know what I am.

[gasps]

[ONE] When does this
headache go away?

[FIVE]
Could be a while.

What about Two?

I didn't
hallucinate that, did I?

She got blown out the airlock.

Yeah.

She said she was pushed out
toward the front of the ship,

but she managed to grab onto
a raised section of the hull.

She held on, waiting to die,
and... she didn't.

[FIVE] She pulled herself
down into one of the trenches

that house
the forward couplings,

disengaged one of them
so that ship wouldn't jump,

then she pushed herself
towards the airlock

and waited for them
to open the door.

All that, without a space suit?

Apparently.

What the hell is she?

[THE ANDROID]
As far as I can tell,

you're an advanced
biosynthetic organism.

[TWO]
What does that mean?

[THE ANDROID] You weren't born,
you were engineered.

What, like you?

[THE ANDROID]
No, not like me.

You have a heart,
lungs, kidneys, fluids.

But your constituent
parts were manufactured,

to exact specifications,
and then assembled.

You also have a network
of corrector nanites

moving throughout your body,
even more advanced than my own.

They're designed to migrate
quickly to any area of need.

Like when I was bitten.

It killed the virus.

[THE ANDROID]
Correct.

And healed the wound itself.

I believe that when you were
exposed to the cold of space,

the nanites migrated
to your skin,

joined together and
formed a protective shield.

It couldn't have been more
than a few microns thick,

but it kept you alive.

Very impressive.

You knew.

I had my suspicions.

[TWO]
Why didn't you say anything?

You didn't ask.

I had no idea this
technology even existed.

It doesn't, officially.

And it's in contravention
of all G.A. regulations

regarding the manufacture
of artificial persons.

If the authorities were
to learn of your existence,

it's likely you would be
hunted down... and destroyed.

So what do we do
with this thing now?

Complete the delivery,
get paid, what else?

I don't think we
should deliver this, guys.

Whatever this thing is,

three corporations
were willing to kill for it.

I'm thinking it's something

Welcome to
the goddamn club.

The device is online,
activating field, ten percent.

Pleasure doing
business with you.

Likewise.

This is interesting.

We're getting

from the planet's surface.

[AGENT]
What the hell was that?!

[alarm sounds]

The field's become unstable.

The field variance is making
nav calculations impossible.

Maximum sublight, now!

The planet is breaking up.

Divert all available
power to the engines!

What the hell's going on?

Let's go.

[thundering boom]

We're clear of the field.

I'm dialing back the engines.

The planet has been destroyed.
