Halfway Across the Galaxy and Turn Left (1993–…): Season 1, Episode 24 - Crescendo - full transcript

Michelle Froggatt again!

She painted graffiti at school.

And made sure I got the blame.

Well, Charlotte?

And I got the blame for stealing the chocolates she took.

-That's a mistake.
-Then explain it.

It was too much for me.
I walked away.

What an idiot I am.
I hit my head on a pipe...

but Colin found me in the end.

I felt very strange.

But then Mother came home and everything was fine again.



Strangely enough, Zyrgon seemed far away...

...so I threw the Pearlrock lago type into your sea.

Which is now mine too!

Stay where you are and no one will get hurt!

Boss, where are you?

I'm at a fuel station, security number 8/46.

My mission to capture X has suffered a temporary setback.

Send a spacecraft immediately.

Why are you using the monitor?

-I've been in an accident.
-Are you all right?

Officer Jady, just send the ship now!

X's influence has spread to every corner of the galaxy.

Even here!

...there are unpleasant and shady characters hiding everywhere.



She must be stopped once and for all.

Count the hours; X!

Count the hours you have left in freedom.

"Is on star tour. Remove the note.
Go for it."

Drive hard...Drive hard...

Yorp my owner, sorry I can't serve you, I hope I'm good enough.

Trusty Rusty, a reliable mechanic who offers everything and builds...

Shut the fuck up!

I can offer a range of flavours, including Radioactive Raisin...

Do you know who I am?
Please, stop it.

Trusty Rusty can fix vibrations, straighten sheet metal, all with full warranty.

You imbecile piece of junk.
I'll melt you down!

Trusty Rusty can offer this year's models at great prices...

Stop it! Stop it! Get back!

Perform self-destruct!

Stand down and cease immediately.
Terminate program now.

Please...

Trust me, trust Trusty...

Customers, hope they buy more stuff than you did.

Hold on to something tight and watch your head.

Danger! Space Gate opening.

Wait! Stop! No, no, no, no. Come on.

Yorp, my owner's not here, but I'll do my best...

Boss, how are you?

Officer Jady, I found her.

The lost X, so shall we take her home?

I don't mean to sound rude, but we need a plan.

Of course we need a plan.

I'll work one out on the way.

While you've been away, I've been working very hard.

So has the technical wizard.

He calls it "the brain drill."

The only reason X has escaped so far...

...is because the brain has become strong and independent during this time.

-So we're going to destroy her brain.
-Go on.

The Brain Drill digs into the mind of the criminal.

First and foremost, through the dreams.

-"Dreams"?
-A form of escapism allowed there.

Dreams were eradicated on Zyrgon months ago.

Of course!

She won't be able to sleep for a minute.

As her brain weakens, memories of the past will haunt her.

Even when she's awake.

Then, when all her defenses are broken down...

...she'll be all ours!

X molecular structure recorded.

Vectors complete.

Seekers fixed.

Now we can begin!

Welcome to my nightmare.

X, what happened?

-Why aren't you in bed?
-The boss...

-You just dreamt it.
-"Dreamed"?

You can dream things on Earth while you're sleeping.

-David told me about them.
-They're horrible.

It was a nightmare you had, but they're usually good.

It's all right now.
I'm right here.

I'm scared, Dovis.

I'll protect you.
Now go to sleep and relax.

It's only a dream.

We're deep inside her brain.

Increase your energy, Officer Jady.

A technical question.
Does the perpetrator know what's going on?

She's just getting more and more upset.

He can tell how emotional she is from the re-radiation meter.

It's nice that her emotions are becoming her downfall.

Emotions!

We're lucky there's no such thing on Zyrgon.

That's precisely why our state is so strong.

I don't understand the purpose of emotion.

It leads to something worse than anything else: privacy.

I have no such need, do you?

Privacy is dead.

Duty and servitude have replaced it and that's enough.

More than enough, Officer Jady.

-Maybe it's a virus.
-It's all right.

And you can't dream in the daytime.

Shall I wait?

No, I'll go with Colin and Jenny.
I'll see you at school.

-Take care.
-I will. Bye!

Hi, Colin.

Hi, X. She's not ready yet...
as usual.

Come on in!

-Where is she?
-I don't know what you mean.

Remember, you lied before.
Don't try to stop me.

Leave her alone.

What are you doing, X?

Colin, come here right now.

I met her at the dock.
Don't hurt him.

There's something wrong with her, Colin.

Head for the highway and you'll find it.
Now go!

What were you doing?

-The boss was here. He had Jenny.
-No, I'm here.

The boss isn't here. It's over.
It's been a long time.

The past has come back.

-Maybe that's what you want.
-What is?

Have a head full of Zyrgonian stuff

-Why would I want that?
-Forget it.

Charlotte just came home with Colin Roland.

You're sick and going to bed.

-Why aren't they at school?
-They must have the same germ.

-What a silly thing to say.
-But you're thinking of Zyrgon?

-Less and less.
-I don't think you're at peace here.

-Sure.
-Not like your parents, Dovis, Qwrk

No, it takes longer for me.

-You have problems with emotions and stuff.
-I guess everybody does.

It's not because I'm an alien. You had problems.

Okay, you've proven your point.
You get angry easily.

-What are you talking about?
-Maybe you don't want to stay.

I don't want to go.

-You promise?
-I promise.

Everyone I like is here. Jenny, you...

-Do you like me?
-Yes, I like you.

I like you too.

-You do?
-Yeah, I really do.

Hi, Colin. How's X?

You didn't have to come home.

No, but it was nice to get out of math. Thanks, Colin.

I've got math too, but I can stay with you.

-I'm glad we talked.
-Me too.

Very glad.

You seem to get on very well with Colin.

I think I'll go to bed.
I'm tired.

I think you're feeling better.

If you get out of this room in 60 seconds, you're free to go.

Snap... all freaked out.

What are you doing?

You okay?

-over Bellwood.
-Prepare to land.

We caught the renegade together, didn't we?

Please, Officer Jady, I'm trying to land the ship.

I'm warning you about the renegade X. She's showing great presence of mind.

She's resourceful for her age.
She's full of tricks.

On the other hand...
So am I.

Officer Jady! Yes... very good.

I saw that, Dovis.

You may have remembered it, but you couldn't have seen it.

The Rubot was in the closet and Michelle the boss was there too.

Mother!

Hello, everyone.

Mother, I'm so glad you're here.

-I'm so scared, Mother.
-Yes, you need a doctor.

Let's go there right away.

-Right away?
-Yes, we are.

You have to make an appointment, don't you?

Not with the doctor we're going to.
-Come on, X.

-The doctor lives that way, right?
-No, hurry up.

Hello... Mother?

But... where are you?

Mother, someone has taken X!

-Mother, where are we going?
-You're going to be cured, X. Once and for all.

So we meet again, X.

Yes, I'm afraid so.

Leave me alone.

Let go of me!

No, X!
