Halfway Across the Galaxy and Turn Left (1993–…): Season 1, Episode 25 - The Past Is Creeping Back - full transcript

It was too good to be true.

The boss came back with all his hate

Maybe I thought they'd forgotten about me, but I'm their archenemy.

They invented a new torture tool that gave me horrible nightmares.

Then memories of the past came back.

When I was at my weakest, they came for me.

Jady tricked us and pretended to be a mother.

Mother!

Mother, where are we going?

Dovis couldn't save me.

We meet again, X.



What will become of me?
We travel to the black heart of Zyrgon.

Our galaxy is safe again. The traitor X is about to leave on his final journey.

On a one-way ticket.

Look at me when I speak to you.

What resistance, but it suits a criminal.

Principle puts an end to it.

I didn't want to hurt Zyrgon. You can do what you want.

I just want to be left alone.

She has an answer for everything.

I wonder how she'll respond to the lava.

Something long and drawn out, one hopes.

-We have to save her.
-But how?

We can't just take the car.
It's halfway across the galaxy.

Poor X, we'll never get her back.



Please, Father, that won't help.

-What about the shuttle?
-If we had one, we could track her.

There is a shuttle, the one we kinetised from the Second Moon.

But what state is it in?

You can fix it, then we'll fly to Zyrgon and rescue her.

They don't expect us to come. That's an advantage, isn't it?

But are you going?

I'm going because I'm smart.
Miss Payne won't say anything about the absence.

You're not old enough, Qwrk.
It's too dangerous.

-No, I'm going.
-I can't, Father.

Every security tracker in the city is on you.

-But they won't recognize me.
-Neither do I.

And they'll never recognize me and Jenny.

You don't know anything about Zyrgon.
You won't find it there...

I can show them.
I'm a cosmic flyer.

Dovis, if the boss should get hold of you...

X would have done it for me.

Then it's settled.

Are you sure about this? What if we're 600 years old when we get back?

Nobody's done it.

-Yes, the Jacksons have.
-They're different.

It was your idea. Are you gonna back out now?

Of course not.

We take off tomorrow, make a left halfway across the galaxy.

Qwrk's been working on the shuttle all night. What would we do without him?

Life would be unbearable.

Goodbye, my darling.
Take it easy.

I placed a neutralizing wire so no one can track you.

Oh, that's fantastic.

It's a little heavy on the right-hand turn, but without driving it, you don't know...

Here's milk, fruit, chocolate and cookies.

-Sandwiches when you're halfway there.
-And jelly beans.

Here's a letter to Mom.
She thinks we're staying with you.

If she calls, tell her we're asleep.

And if anything happens to us, give her the letter and tell her we said hi.

Carmel will never understand.

Mr. Jackson, I'm 13 years old and my father disappeared a year ago.

We know what we're doing.

You're very brave.

We appreciate this more than I can say.

What a job, Qwrk.

-Will it make it all the way?
-And back.

Okay, here goes nothing.

Gravity gyroscopes, orbital controls and thrusters, check.

It's hard to turn right.

Hang on. Let's go.

Don't worry. They'll be back soon.

Traitors are everywhere. Trust no one. Report everyone.

-She used to pray next door to me.
-You lived next door to traitors?

Mine and her mother used to have lunches together. She made clothes.

They're traitors. Don't talk about them like that. What if somebody hears you?

I'm the family organizer and I'm solely responsible for all decisions.

I have full control of the family unit.

I am the family organizer and I am solely responsible for all decisions.

I have full control of the family unit.

I am the family organiser and solely responsible for all decisions.

-Do you want to rest?
-Thank you, Colin.

-You can't do that.
-I've been driving my mother's car.

Yeah, right into a fence.

I've got 10,000 miles on both sides.

Watch the right side, it shakes in turbulence.

No problem.

Is it faster?

I'm the family organizer and I'm solely responsible for all decisions.

I have full control of the family unit.

I am the family organiser and I am solely responsible for all decisions.

I have full control of the family unit.

-Lox, what are you doing?
-I know it's risky, but...

Now, look...

This was made for me personally by the dissidents according to my design.

Lox, you're on the screen in the center of the commune.

Get out of here!

I told you I'd save you.

Actually, I'm both brave and handsome.

Don't get arrested now.

X, I've been through this before with you.

I was here with Hecla.
I mean you...

You know what I mean.

See? Now...

-Do you know the way?
-Sure, I know everything.

What the...

So you came back for her, Lox.

I'm glad you like X. You'll be seeing a lot of each other in the future.

Lock them up.

Watch the shirt.

Carmel, that's funny. What a beautiful day, not too hot or too cold...

Who's that? Oh, Colin and Jenny, your kids...

Where are they? Where are they?

Colin and Jenny are out fishing.

They... They prayed and prayed so...

"Please," they said, "let's go fishing and camping and...

Can we fish and sleep over the next day too...

No, it's all right, Astrella will look after them.

Sure, I'll take them home when they get back.

Thank you, Carmel...

Yeah, bye.

-The gas station's there. I'll take it from here.
-I'll take over.

You didn't land a space shuttle.

-Neither have you.
-I'm a cosmic flyer.

How remarkable.

There go the chips.
Get the dust bunny.

Hello, Yorp. Colin and Jenny, this is Yorp.

-Full tank?
-Yeah, thanks.

-Yorp, I know who you are.
-Congratulations.

-I know what you are.
-Don't tell Mom.

You're not just a mechanic here.
You're Robin Hood.

Excuse me.

-Lox has told me all about you.
-Yorp, we're gonna save X.

Lox already tried to save her and now he's in jail.

The boss will put her on trial as a cautionary tale.

-Once he does...
-What?

Lavan. Poor X.

He's right. The boss is too strong.

The guardians of the law have won again.
There's nothing we can do.

Wait, we didn't travel halfway across the galaxy to give up, did we?

-But Jen...
-Never mind the boss.

X is my best friend, so am I going alone or are you coming with me?

Come on, man.

What a girl!

-You got room in there?
-Yeah, I got room.

Wait, Rusty...
I just have to feed Rusty.

You'll come in here where the beams won't detect you.

The corridor leads to the cell.
Once you're inside...

...you will free X from the beam chains and Lox from the shackles.

To get them out, you'll have to put these under their tunics.

They'll register as guards.

You'll be fine.

Once you're out, go to the center where friends will meet us.

-What friends?
-You'd be surprised.

That's where Hecla lives. I wonder where she is now?

Unauthorized vessel approaching.

Who could it be?
Put up searchlights.

Search unit is not picking up anything.

It may have neutralization conduits

They don't seem to want to disturb us with their arrival. How kind.

But it seems impolite not to welcome them, doesn't it?

Call in the lawkeepers.

-We're in.
-Look at the lightning.

Okay, we're through the methane gas.

-What's that shimmering down there?
-It's hot, red rock.

-Look at that.
-It's kind of like a valley.

-They look like skyscrapers.
-It's a fairyland.

Yeah, if it weren't for the lawkeepers.

Look out, the worst drivers in the galaxy are here.

We're about to land, so hang on.
I don't trust that thing.

Remember the plan. We're going to the city center first.

-One small step for man...
-What?

Forget it.

I'm a family organizer.

I let the rest of the family in on the decision-making.

I always share power with the other family members.

Instructa, that's different from the oath we used to say.

Maybe so, but this is the right one.
One more time.

I am a family organizer...

Look!

Traitors are everywhere, trust no one.

Report everyone.

-Dovis?
You're wrong, my name is not Dovis.

Traitors are everywhere.
Don't trust anyone.

Report everyone.

-Intsructa!
-Yes, Mabla.

You know who I saw?
Dissident X's sister.

-Thank you, Mabla.
-What shall we do?

You're late.
Stand with the others.

Are you going to inform the guards?

I'll take care of it.
Say your oath now.

I'm a family organizer.

I let the rest of the family participate in the decision-making.

I always share power with other family members.
