Halfway Across the Galaxy and Turn Left (1993–…): Season 1, Episode 26 - Dark Night, Star Bright - full transcript
We decided to help her because she would not be able to cope on her own.
I couldn't abandon my sister, no matter what they thought.
Poor X was brainwashed, we knew that.
I take responsibility for all decisions, I am the head of the family.
We didn't know Lox had saved her.
So we saved her and got caught.
We came to Yorp.
He filled us up with petrol and gave us ID badges.
Unfortunately, the boss saw us on his radar anyway.
We made it all the way to the community center, we'd almost given up...
when we saw a friendly face.
Traitors are everywhere, don't trust anyone. Report everyone.
Can you point the way to the cosmic flyer selection?
-Where have you been?
Everyone knows.
-Thank you very much, sir.
-Watch out for weirdos.
Look straight ahead, soldier.
Traitors are everywhere, trust no one. Report everyone.
Look at her, stubborn as ever.
Where does the strength come from?
From something they have on earth called love.
-I hate her innocence...
-Take it easy, Jady.
She'll suffer.
Love makes her strong.
She gets it from her family.
-Come here, Officer Jady. She's getting soft.
You're right, it's good to see her starting to fall apart.
What's on your mind?
We have to destroy her brain.
She has to give up all hope, or love dies. Revenge is sweet, X.
You're a genius.
Despair, you traitor!
Begin the torture.
-It's us again.
-Back worse than before.
We're not on the outside, we're inside you.
We'll haunt you forever.
Despair X, despair.
Hello, Mr Jackson...
Vivien Bloom.
Yes, that's right... Miss Bloom.
-Are you all right, Mr. Jackson?
-I'm fine.
Come on in.
Come in, please.
Would you like to sit down?
I'm going to walk around for a while.
I came here to find out why the children haven't been to school.
I know they've been bullied by Michelle Froggatt and others.
I'll discuss it with your neighbours as soon as possible. Are the children here?
No, they're not.
Where are they, if you don't mind my asking?
They've gone back to...
I knew it was something like that...
We need to discuss your past.
Your real past.
You know?
I think I do.
How did you find out?
I love detective novels, so I saw you as a detective story.
I put all the pieces together and voila!
Monsieur Jackson, voila!
You're not from Peru, I know that.
The truth is stranger than that.
You're very clever.
Your technique develops faster than anyone else's, but only now...
you have feeling and passionate sadness.
Where does it come from?
My sisters have gone away.
I miss them.
You've turned that sadness into music. You're lucky.
It doesn't feel like it.
You should have said something. Why didn't you?
Your children would still be welcome in my school.
With a background like that, I'd be flattered.
There aren't many schools...
with three members of the French royal family as pupils.
I know you're descended from Louis XVII.
It's the names that tell.
And the most famous French name: Jacques.
I've got you now, haven't I, Monsieur Jackson?
Yes, I suppose you could say that.
You mean oui, oui.
Stop pretending and say oui, oui.
Your accent is perfect.
I get so tired of hearing the students' oui, oui.
You're sé like Marie-Antoinette, especially over the nose.
I always recognize a Habsburg nose.
I'm related to the Romanov family. Do you recognise the nose?
Not immediately, Miss Blaom.
Perhaps as we get to know each other better.
Where is Renée at the moment?
Actually, she's still asleep.
-Or should I say "factually"?
-What aristocracy.
Only the working class gets up before dark.
Hi, I missed you at school today.
-What's wrong?
-Everything.
-Everything? Tell me.
-I can't.
-Can't?
-It's private.
-Family stuff.
-You wonder if they're worth it.
I love being part of a family.
You don't know how lucky you are here.
Here... on earth!
I like you because you're so different.
I wish my family was together again.
If you believe in something, it happens.
-Really?
-My parents got back together
Listen, when I'm really down...
I put all my problems in my hand and squeeze them together.
Then I jump on them, hard!
Don't ever come back! Never come back!
Either you beat them or they beat you.
Come on, let's get some ice cream.
What about your music?
Music? Ice cream is more important.
Come on in, make yourselves at home.
Daun's not home. Good thing feminism forces women to work.
-Hi, Michelle.
-Good day, I'm going to do my homework now.
I just came from the Jackson family.
Do you have a problem with the kids?
No, the one causing problems is Michelle.
The Jacksons are new here, which is hard enough without...
that girls who should know better make it even harder.
If they want to live here, they have to learn to fit in.
-Haven't you heard of mixed culture?
-I've read the brachies.
-And?
-Michelle probably just helped them.
We should all be more tolerant.
It leads to streets full of foreign food.
May I remind you that we're giving a lot of chocolate to your annual party.
-We're very grateful.
-You show it badly.
You can wave goodbye to our chocolates.
You are very unreasonable.
They've been making trouble since they arrived.
We had some class5 before they came.
If I were you, I wouldn't get class involved, you might get outclassed.
By South Americans?
No, by the flower of the French court.
Traitors are everywhere, trust no one. Report everyone.
Come on, let's go.
Last one on the right.
We taught them what all neighbors should: to fit in.
It would be a shame if everyone was the same.
On the contrary, it would be well-organized.
-I don't agree...
-Don't argue in front of the child.
Why not?
She should hear several opinions.
That's the kind of rubbish the school will teach her.
-There's a right way and a wrong way.
-Don't listen to Daddy.
You'll confuse her.
-Are you confused?
-A little.
-There you go.
She can't learn if we give her choices.
She can learn to decide for herself.
That leads to anarchy. Why do today's youth dress the way they do?
With anti-social hairstyles and satanic music?
They're too free.
They need fewer choices.
What's wrong with my hair? If it's good enough for me, it should be good enough for everyone.
There used to be no juvenile delinquency because we listened to our parents' music.
After 20 at the top of the gramophone, you just wanted to sleep.
The streets were safe, you dressed like everyone else or you got your ass kicked.
-Do you think it was good?
-No, I don't think so.
Getting beaten up and stuff taught you to fit in, that's what society is for.
Dad's been working hard, he can't think straight.
I think clearly, and everyone else's would have to.
-Cive...
-It would be perfect if everyone thought alike.
Where there are guardians to see to things like that and strong government.
-What if people don't like it?
-Then they can move to another planet.
-People would protest.
-It'll be put down.
Even if they were hiding on the other side of the galaxy.
-She's still fighting.
-She and her brave heart.
You said strength comes from love that comes from family?
Yeah, get to the point.
Can't we convince X that her family doesn't love her and has forgotten her?
Turn them against each other, yes!
Family makes the earth strong destroy it and we take the earth.
Traitors are everywhere, trust no one. Report everyone.
Can you hear me?
Your family has abandoned you, so you know that.
After all you've done, they've turned their backs on you.
My family hasn't forgotten me.
-Alone again?
-Have they?
I'm sure they'd try to save you.
If they could.
I'm sure my brother won't forget me.
My beautiful sister cares for me.
My parents love me.
And will love me.
Forever.
I wrote it to you.
We miss you, you know that, right?
Wherever you are!
Even though you tried to be a serious organizer...
we always had a lot of fun.
That's the best thing about this earth: you can have so much fun.
The boss banned it at Zyrgon, a long time ago.
Hope to see you again.
We had so much fun, didn't we?
I never thanked you properly for bringing us here.
I hope I can do it soon.
I really do.
From X and Dovis.
I'm not giving up.
Listen, when I'm really down...
I'll take my problems in my hand, squeeze them tight...
Then I jump on them. Hard!
Never come back.
Ever.
-David, I...
-Mr. Jackson.
-Is Astrella here?
-She's gone away.
Gone away? Gone where?
For how long?
She's visiting Charlotte.
-Where's Charlotte?
-With Colin and Jenny.
-Where are they? .
-Would you like a cup of tea?
I can do this, Dad.
Look after Mother.
What was that?
Nothing, come on.
You've left a trail.
-How did you do that?
-There's a hole in the bag.
Rubot's been following us.
Run! Run!
Come on, hurry up.
Haven't I seen you before?
I'm the family organizer, I'm responsible for all the important decisions.
I am always in charge of the family.
I am...
What are you doing here?
-I think we've made a mess of things.
-We wanted to save you.
You weren't.
We couldn't leave you. We're friends.
Stop this at once.
Now you're on my planet.
He's got them. What do we do now?
I think I can get 50 or 60 freedom fighters.
And lose again?
Hecla!
Is that you?
Listen, citizen.
We announce the trial of renegade X.
Zyrgon will throw this traitor into the lava.
Long live the state.
-Where are you taking her?
-Don't!
Don't you dare hurt her.
-Don't give up!
-We're on to you!
I couldn't abandon my sister, no matter what they thought.
Poor X was brainwashed, we knew that.
I take responsibility for all decisions, I am the head of the family.
