Dark Matter (2015–2017): Season 2, Episode 5 - We Voted Not to Space You - full transcript

Previously on "Dark Matter"...

I was a GA undercover agent

tasked with bringing you all in.

Welcome, Android. You're among friends.

It makes your speech and
mannerisms more human.

Yours, if you want it.

What are we gonna do about it?

I took it from some
mark on a space station.

It's a key that allows
someone to access pockets

of inter-dimensional space-time.

The crew of the "Raza"
are a formidable opponent.



I've crushed worse.

There's a war coming,

and they hold the key to victory.

Whiskey.

Please, allow me.

Oh, that's very sweet of you.

- I'm a sweet guy.
- In a place like this?

You must be lost.

Well, what about you?

What about me?

Pretty little thing, all by yourself?

Come in here flashing money like that.

You should be more careful.

You don't think I can handle myself?



I don't know. Can you?

Watch me.

Danny Bones.

A mutual friend told
me where to find you.

Oh, yeah?

Well, if he told you where to find me,

he's no friend of mine.

Well, it's just talk,

but I can...

make it worth your while.

How's this?

How about I take all your money,

and you consider yourself
lucky we let you out of here?

Well, I'd say it's disappointing,

but not surprising.

Ah!

Whoa.

Should've taken my first offer.

He really mean that much to you?

You let him out of
the isolation chamber.

He's not going anywhere.

He can hardly move.

You know, that Arax
guy was a thief and a liar,

but he said one thing that
made a hell of a lot of sense.

What was that?

That it's a bad idea to
have a cop onboard this ship.

He's not a cop anymore.

He helped us escape. They'll
never take him back.

Is that supposed to
make me feel sorry for him?

He's the guy who put us
there in the first place.

He may not be a cop,

but that doesn't mean he's one of us.

Bingo.

What exactly is "us," anyway?

'Cause lately I'm kind of wondering.

Good news.

We voted not to space you for now.

Oh, glad to know I didn't
do all that work for nothing.

Can we have the room, please?

You can drop me off at the next station.

No one on this ship owes me anything.

We're not there yet.

Look, you're GA,

or, at least, you used to
be, and we need some intel.

Would you be willing to help us?

Help you with what?

You know that One was murdered.

Yeah.

Thinking that maybe that's not

the sort of thing we just let slide.

Look, if we don't fight for each other,

then who the hell will?

So what do you need?

News report says the GA

is investigating a person of interest.

How do we find out who that is?

You'll never tap into
their system remotely.

I'll tell you that much.

Five's pretty good.

Not that good.

But there might be a way.

Find an isolated outpost,
some place understaffed.

Get inside and tap into
their system directly.

That's his brilliant plan?

He's playing us.

I don't think so. ‭I think
he really wants to help.

A cop telling us to
waltz into a police station

wants to help... sure.

Look, we may not be
headline news anymore,

but we're still on the GA's most wanted.

No one on this ship is
going anywhere near an outpost.

I can.

I'm not technically a person,

therefore no charges were filed.

How would you get inside?

I believe the simplest way

would be to get arrested...
something minor.

Androids can't get arrested.

You just said so yourself.

But they wouldn't know I'm an android.

- Come again?
- What is this?

It's an upgrade,

designed to allow androids to
convincingly pass as human.

I could go undercover.

Hang on a second.

You sure we want to let her do this?

It's taken me this long to
get used to her this way.

The effect is not necessarily permanent.

This is illegal tech.

Which is why I would prefer
not to say where it came from.

I've analyzed the code.

I believe it will be effective.

I've been debating whether
or not to use it.

Now I have good reason.

If they find out what
you are... what this is...

I know.

I will be destroyed.

You want to find whoever killed One.

So do I.

Why?

Because he was one of us.

All right, we're docked.

Let's go grab a few drinks while
the robot does her thing.

Oh, hey, not this time.

- What?
- Everybody else stays onboard.

- Seriously?
- Yes.

You really think she can pull this off?

How do I look?

- You look great.
- You look fantastic.

Still not buying it.

Would it kill you to
give a girl a compliment?

Don't worry. I got this.

Excuse me. Excuse me. Aren't
you gonna arrest me?

What for?

Uh, for opening that
door... that was me.

- I guess it was an accident.
- It wasn't.

Okay, well, don't do it again.

- I probably will.
- If you're gonna do it again,

I'm gonna have to give you a ticket.

Oh, my God, what does a girl have to do

to get arrested around here?

All right, come on, just move along.

Nice. That's...

Okay.

- Okay.
- Come on.

Okay.

At the heart of the conflict

is a territorial dispute

between the two independent colonies.

A long-standing source of contention,

the region known as Enriss sector

became the flashpoint for open warfare

following its annexation by Zairon

on the heels of a coup

that deposed Pyr's ruling theocracy

earlier this year.

The hostilities have so far been limited

to the two planets directly involved,

as the two-dozen-strong
League of Autonomous Worlds

has remained neutral,

officially calling on both parties

to suspend their military campaigns

pending the resumption of peace talks.

Several corporations who have had

their travel and trade routes disrupted

lobbied the Galactic
Authority to take action.

Wow, how many hours a day

do you spend in this dump wearing that?

Station ID.

Visitor card.

Kiva Ehrens. Tallaren sector.

You're a long way from home.

I like to travel.

Attempting to access a restricted area,

assaulting a station security guard...

Shit-talking a GA guard...
don't forget that.

You should write that down.

You have no priors.

We drop the assault, you take the fine,

you're out of here.

Yeah, good luck getting me to pay that.

So much for checking out early.

Ooh.

- Anything?
- Not yet.

Yeah, it's me.

I need to upload a
request for data transfer.

Records from the Tallaren sector.

Don't ask.

Yeah, let me know.

Oh, are you getting coffee?

I would love a coffee.

Sure, why not?

Oh, two sugars.

Oh, wow, you're quick.

Oh, you need to step behind that desk.

Thank you.

Mm, this has sugar in it.

You said, "Two sugars."

No. No, I said, "No sugar."

Please?

- Back behind the desk.
- Going.

We got it.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- How'd it go?
- Hearing's in two weeks.

Don't think you're gonna make it.

Nice work.

Thanks.

See? I can compliment.

Three, are you with the Android?

Yeah, I got her onboard.

Both of you need to come to the bridge.

We found something.

Got it. Let's go.

The investigation's been suspended.

It's not clear why, but they
did manage to identify a suspect.

Show them.

This is from a surveillance
camera in the hotel.

He's in the hotel. We already knew that.

That's not One.

What?

This footage was
taken after he was shot.

That's Jace Corso.

So you think this Corso
guy killed your friend

because he stole his identity?

I think someone wanted
it to look that way

in case Corso ever got caught.

So he was a hired assassin?

Well, there's only
one way to know for sure.

Yeah, we find him and we ask him.

That might be tricky. He gets around.

This guy's got warrants out against him

across half the galaxy.

Do either of you know anyone

who works out of the Adara sector?

- Not me.
- I know a few guys.

They run an import-export business.

So, smugglers?

- If you want to get technical.
- Well, that's perfect.

Maybe they can help us.

If we can't find Corso,
there might be someone

who can find him for us.

What are you doing?

My combat programming is extensive.

But it's programming.

You don't need to practice.
You can't get any better.

Is that the only reason you practice?

No. It's relaxing.

It makes me feel...

Powerful.

I was going to say "In control."

Same thing.

Ever since I gave myself the upgrade,

I find that when I repeat

certain precise physical actions,

it actually generates
new and unusual patterns

in my neural matrix.

It changes your state of mind.

Something like that.

We found that guy that
we were looking for.

We wanted to know if you'd
like to go on another outing.

I thought you'd never ask.

Okay, you know, under
different circumstances,

this could be a real turn-on.

- We need information.
- Sure, yeah.

Whatever you want. I'm not a hero.

I will sell anyone out.

You wouldn't believe the
stuff I have on my own mother.

She's a hell of a crook, really.

Jace Corso.

Uh, don't know that name.

Oh, don't even bother.

Your friend Wexler? He already told us.

You were drinking buddies.

Wexler... he's got a
big mouth. Worse than me.

Where is he, by the way?

I haven't seen him around lately.

He's floating somewhere
outside the Aquila Nebula.

Would you like to join him?

Okay, all right, look, I
would love to help you out,

ladies, really, I would, but...

I understand you're gonna kill me,

but Jace will kill me, and
then he'll kill my family,

and then he'll kill my
neighbors and their dog and...

You don't have to worry about that.

Oh, really? Why's that?

You tell us where he is,

he won't be coming back.

Shit.

Excuse me. Sorry, sir.

Chief Inspector Kierken.

Chief Inspector, what can I do for you?

Are you familiar with
the crew of the "Raza"?

- I've seen the alerts.
- Studied their faces?

Um...

Can I trust that if you'd
seen one of them on the station,

or even in this room, that
you would've reported it?

Of course, absolutely.

Got it.

I'm guessing you were unaware

that your system had been hacked.

No, I wasn't.

You do have a list of recent
detainees, though, do you not?

Yes, sir.

This is from just the last week.

The usual stuff.

Bar fights, drunk and disorderly...

That one.

That was nothing.

They are full of
surprises, I'll give them that.

I'm sorry, sir.

I have no idea what's going on, but...

No need to apologize, Sergeant.

This is what I was hoping for.

- It is?
- You see,

I know exactly what information
was hacked from the system.

Now that we've confirmed that it's them,

I know exactly where they're going.

What do you got?

Most of the population is scattered

along the western coast of
the southern continent,

but these are the coordinates

we got from our friend, Danny Bones.

It was supposedly a settlement
that was abandoned years ago,

but I am getting fairly
significant EM readings

consisting with a
small-scale fusion reactor.

Someone's keeping the lights on.

- It's him.
- Do we know if he's alone?

Can't say for sure, but
word is he's gone paranoid.

He's convinced someone put a hit on him.

So he's gonna shoot first

and not bother with
asking questions later.

Most likely.

Sounds like a party.

You guys heading down to the planet?

That's right.

You mind if I tag along?

It's got nothing to do with you.

Your fight, my fight... we ride together.

That's the way it should be.

Am I wrong?

You know how to handle one of these?

Bolt release is a little
gritty... I'll smooth it out

for you when we're done.

Am I the only one who
found that a little sexy?

Mm.

Should you be doing that?

Doc says I need to start moving.

Of course, I don't want to overdo it.

I thought you should know,
it looks like we found him.

The others are heading down.

To kill him?

If you've got a problem with
that, it's a little late.

It was your idea that got
us here in the first place.

It's one thing to kill a
man in self-defense.

It's a whole other
thing to hunt him down

and kill him for revenge.

We're the ones who are being hunted.

From the minute we
stepped out of those stasis pods,

we've been on the run.

Cops, criminals, ‭corporations...
it doesn't matter.

They're all after us.

They're never gonna stop, are they?

No, probably not.

Then maybe it's time we stopped running.

Maybe it's time we
started fighting back.

We sure this is the right place?

The energy signature was
strongest in this area.

It's warmer here.

This building is
heated. He's here for sure.

Do you think he saw us coming?

We'll find out soon enough.

What?

Have we heard anything yet?

Not yet.

What?

Oh, nothing.

Just wondering if you're
gonna keep the look.

Oh, I haven't decided.

Are you gonna keep your look?

We have a problem.

A ship just dropped out
of FTL. It's a GA cruiser.

Have they detected us?

It'll take a moment for their sensors

to adjust to normal space.

In the meantime, I have an idea.

Shit.

Nyx and I will double
back, see if we can get him.

Let's go.

- What are you doing?
- Taking us down.

They won't be able to detect us

as long as we're in the ionosphere.

And what happens when we pass through?

Hopefully their orbit will
have taken them out of range.

Hopefully? Aren't androids supposed

to be a little more precise than that?

Well, I do know the
exact probability of success.

Trust me, "hopefully" sounds better.

Coming in a little fast.

You have landed this
thing before, right?

Do you want the precise answer?

- Never mind.
- Hold on.

There might be a little bit of a bump.

Ooh! Ah!

I'm shutting down everything
but emergency power.

We'll be undetectable from orbit.

"Bit of a bump," huh?

Ah!

No, no, no, no, no, no!

Damn it!

Ah, he's locked himself in.

That's right, and it's stocked.

I've got food, water, air.

I can last here for days.

That's fine. We got nowhere else to be.

I've also got an
emergency distress beacon

to call in reinforcements.

He's bluffing.

I've seen this model before.

He may have stocked
it, but it's not designed

for this kind of use.

There's a weak spot.

We cut through here, we get
access to the door mechanism.

Wait here.

You're a dead man.

Ah!

Gah! Ah!

- What happened?
- We had to land the ship.

A GA cruiser showed up.

How the hell did they find us?

Well, that's a good question.

I helped you escape from prison.

Why would I try and
get you arrested now?

Maybe they're not here for us.

Maybe they're here for Corso.

Well, either way, we
have to warn the others.

If they're scanning, any
attempt at communication

could give away our position.

How far away from the facility are we?

- 2.2 miles.
- We'll go on foot.

You?

Just give me something for the pain.

- I'll be fine.
- It's not gonna be good

if you start bleeding internally.

We'll worry about that later.

Gah!

Here.

Ah!

I got this.

Shit.

All right, men, fan out.

Three squads...
Lieutenant, you're with me.

Remember, these are violent offenders
wanted by the courts.

One way or another, we
are going to bring them in.

Go, go.

- What the hell?
- He's wounded.

Didn't disintegrate, did he?

Hey.

Oh, you've got to be kidding me.

This is a bad idea.

You know, I went through a
lot of trouble to save your life.

So you keep saying.

Sir?

Ah! Ah! Ah! Gah! Ah!

Don't move.

All squads, move to my position.

We've got something here.

Why are you here?

I think you're smart
enough to figure that out.

What the hell is this?

Three, Four, come in.

We've got a problem.

Three, Four, do you read me?

Ah!

Ah!

What was that?

We need to move faster.

Three, Four, do you read?

Are you sure this is the only way out?

Afraid so.

- Start digging.
- If I dig us out,

you'll just kill me when I'm done.

Why should I bother?

You'll do whatever you can to stay alive

as long as you can,

because somewhere in that
little weasel brain of yours,

you're thinking there
might still be a way out for you.

As long as you're
digging, you're still breathing.

So you'll dig.

Somebody come in... anybody, please.

The signal is blocked.

You're bleeding.

Yeah, I hit my head on the ground

when someone knocked me down.

Trying to save your life.

Could've just said, "Look out."

You're not fast enough. I've
seen you fight, remember?

Please.

What?

Ah! Ah!

Easy there.

I'd say, "Don't move,"

but it's pretty obvious you're
not going anywhere.

Who are you?

Chief Inspector
Kierken, Galactic Authority.

You're under arrest.

Don't struggle.

It'll just make things worse.

When my men get
here, they'll dig you out.

What makes you think they'll
find us down here?

Emergency beacon.

Much stronger than your standard comms.

They'll find us.

So who else is down here with us?

Portia Lin?

Marcus Boone?

Doesn't matter.

If they're still
alive, we'll find them too.

You're seriously gonna tell me

you came here to get
revenge for Derrick Moss?

He was a spoiled rich kid

who had everything handed ‭to
him, and he still screwed up.

His wife was murdered.

And he upended his life to get revenge

but then didn't have the
guts to go through with it.

That's enough.

Shut up and get back to work.

He was weak and a coward.

You don't know anything about him.

I know he didn't belong on your ship.

It doesn't matter. For better or worse,

he was a member of my
crew, and you killed him.

For that, you're gonna have to pay.

You still need me.

These tunnels are part of the old mine.

They go on for miles. If you don't know

what you're doing, you'll
never find your way out.

We'll see.

- You think the others are okay?
- Of course they're okay.

You're pretty confident.

Well, until I know any better,

I'm just gonna assume
that everything's fine

so I don't get
distracted from the task at hand,

which is saving myself...

oh, and you.

We should rest. Probably
got a concussion.

Don't remind me.

Hey, how is it

that you knew the ceiling was
gonna come down, anyway?

I heard the support beams cracking.

That's funny, 'cause
I didn't hear anything.

Not over the sound of the explosion.

Well, lucky for you, my hearing's fine.

How exactly did you
escape from that prison?

You had help, didn't
you? Someone on the inside?

You couldn't have
done all that on your own.

Was it one of the guards, maybe?

I keep telling my superiors

that as long as we farm out prisons

to the corporate interests,
it's a recipe for corruption.

What's funny?

You consider the corporations corrupt,

but somehow the GA's different?

You serve the corporations.

I serve the law.

I protect the innocent
from people like you.

You protect the innocent
so the corporations

can continue to make profit off them.

They're cattle,

and when it comes
time for the slaughter,

you'll be the one driving them, not me.

I need to rest.

I can hardly breathe and
my leg is still bleeding.

Fine.

There's something I
still don't understand.

I'm sure there's lots of
things you don't understand.

The Portia Lin I've heard of,

the one from all the stories,

would never risk her life and her ship

and what's left of her crew

to get revenge for a guy like Moss.

In fact, the moment she
found out he was an impostor,

she would've strung
him up and gutted him.

Sounds messy.

What the hell happened?

You were a predator, like me,

and we take from the
weak and from the helpless

because we're stronger.

Because we can.

You started to care.

You're vulnerable,

and soon the whole
galaxy'll see what I can see.

You're finished.

I'm prepared to shoot
you down in cold blood.

Come on, that's got to
count for something, right?

Get back to work.

Now.

Oh! Ah!

What the hell?

What was that?

The explosion must have
weakened the cave structure.

I think the whole
thing is gonna collapse.

- It stopped.
- Yeah, but for how long?

Tell me that with your super-hearing?

We need to move.

Okay.

We can't stay here any longer.

Help me out. We'll dig together.

It's our only chance.

And when we reach the
surface, you'll slit my throat.

Listen, I give you my word.

That's supposed to mean something to me?

I read your file.

I know you think you're a man of honor,

but to me you're just a common criminal.

I was betrayed

and my birthright was stolen from me.

Now I do whatever it takes to survive,

but at least I don't
lie to myself about it.

Now help me.

Chief Inspector, are you down there?

Good work, Sergeant.

I told you they'd find us.

It's over.

That's it. I'm through.

Like I said, you still need me.

I know my way out of here.

I think I'll take my chances on my own.

Wait! Wait!

Don't you want to know who hired me?

I didn't kill him just
'cause he stole my face.

I was paid.

I already know. It was Traugott.

They tried to kill all of us in prison.

You're wrong. You don't know anything.

If you want revenge,
if you want the people

who are really responsible,

you have to keep me alive.

You're the one who pulled the trigger.

For now, that's good enough.

It's about time.

Knock yourself out.

This is ridiculous.

We got to stop.

He can't go any further.

He won't have to.

Gonna have to ask
you to drop your weapons.

I don't think so.

I think you better do as he says.

If you open fire on us, you
risk killing your friend.

I bet he's okay with that.

It would be a better death

than what I'll get if
they let you take me.

Told you.

I had your extradition
to Zairon overturned.

I didn't go through
all this trouble just

to see you killed by a death squad.

I intend to see each of you face trial

under the jurisdiction of
the Galactic Authority.

I hate to break it to you, buddy,

but that's never gonna happen.

The corporations want us dead.

None of us would last a week in custody.

They already tried to kill us in prison.

I told you, you're wasting your time.

Enough already!

Drop your weapons or
this is going to get ugly.

We have you outnumbered.

It's time to recalculate.

Lower your weapons, men.

My gun, please.

Android, this is the "Marauder."

We've got 'em. We're on our way.

Understood.

What's the status of the GA cruiser?

They've detected us.

They're closing in fast.

Get us out of here.

- So was it worth it?
- It had to be done.

No regrets?

I don't regret killing
that son of a bitch, no,

but he did say something
that got me thinking.

What?

I assumed Traugott
hired him to kill One,

but he says it was someone else.

I don't know if he was
just playing with me, or...

The last time I saw One,
he said he was worried

about the CEO of his father's company.

One was in line to take his place.

Another enemy to add to the list.

There's always room for one more.

Nothing like a hard day

of seeking revenge to
make a man hungry, huh?

On second thoughts, I
just lost my appetite.

Hey.

You should know, he risked
his life to help you.

Android, what was that?

It was just a minor fluctuation

in the electrostatic
field generated by the core.

It looks like one of our
secondary capacitors failed.

Backup systems kicked in. There's
nothing to worry about.

All right, let me know if
there are any other problems.

I will.

Nothing to worry about?

I was wondering when
you were gonna show up.

You do know why the capacitor failed.

Yes, I do.

Because of an overload during entry

into the planet's atmosphere.

You failed to establish
the proper buffering sequence

when executing the maneuver.

There were several thousand mechanical

and navigational variables
at play in that moment.

I didn't have a lot of time.

You made a mistake.

You're not supposed to make mistakes.

Now you're gonna say
it's because of this upgrade?

No.

I believe your programming
has been flawed

for quite some time.

The fact that you gave yourself
this upgrade

is just more evidence of the problem.

You've become a danger to this ship

and everyone onboard,

and you know it.
