Previously on Killjoys...
We tried landing on
Arkyn, and it's not empty.
There's some kind of
manmade defense layer.
Why are you always
chasing dragons?
I don't hit women, but I got a
partner who does. So, lady, be nice.
Oh, relax. Don't
be such a killjoy.
Ha! I just got that.
Johnny? Are you on your way?
You didn't mention that massive
data transmission Khlyen sent
just before they
blew up the base.
It was encrypted.
Find out where it went. Write
me a warrant to get there.
I need to know
what's in that file.
You sure you wanna do this?
Last time, you got hurt.
You need to let
that go. I want this.
How bad?
All the bad you've got.
Ow!
My mom taught
me that. Oh, respect.
Too bad she didn't teach
you how to fight like a girl.
So, where's Monkpants?
Alvis? At the monastery,
researching Scarbacks on Arkyn.
Oh, yeah? Good.
Look, it's a small ship.
I don't want things
getting weird.
Weird how?
You and me are
complicated, Alvis is simple.
So, if stuff
happens, it happens.
I just wanna say, we're good.
Aw!
Okay. Now, it's weird.
Yeah. Little bit.
Nice to see you guys
keeping shit platonic.
I have RAC Officer Turin
on an encrypted channel.
Timing, Lucy. Timing.
Not interrupting, am I?
Depends. Why are you calling?
I know where Red 17's
last transmission went.
Definitely not
interrupting. Where?
Prodigy School. Quadrant 4.
Prodigy School?
A school for gifted Westy kids.
Taking the smart kids away to
better schools used to be optional.
Now, it's mandatory.
RAC handles all the Escort
warrants for the students,
so, I got your team one.
To escort students?
Like, small people?
Children, Dutch.
They're called "children."
Why is Khlyen sending a
transmission to a school?
That's a little creepy.
It's a lot creepy. So,
get in there and find out.
But do anything other than
what the warrant requires,
you're on your own.
Fine. We'll do it. But
you get to babysit.
Screw that.
One of the three
kids is in Old Town.
Johnny should be
done springing Pawter.
I say we swing by en
route, make him babysit.
Even better. Lucy, take us in.
Will do.
Grab your provisions. Old Town
must be living hell these days.
Hell is drunker than I remember.
Hey! Jelco let you
back inside the wall?
Even Jelco can't
override a warrant.
Food and medicine. Oh!
Now, that calls for a drink.
Is that shit even legal?
This shit isn't even drinkable.
Just don't tell them.
We're looking for this kid.
His father's a miner,
and their old address
is a pile of rubble.
Sabine!
Sabine used to work
at the mine's canteen.
My friends here are
looking for this boy.
Killjoys hunt kids now?
Times must be tough.
No, we're not arresting
him. He qualified for Prodigy.
We're taking the class
to school, where it's safe.
That's actually sweet.
Prodigy's about
the only nice thing
The Company does for us Westies.
Well, it feels good to
give back, you know?
Try the East Tenements.
Most families migrated
there after the bombings.
Johnny here yet? No.
But your boy left you a message.
With you? Which means
I'm not gonna like it.
Pawter busted herself
out of Spring Hill
by putting a bomb
in Jelco's chest,
and making a run
for the Salt Plains.
Johnny's tracking her down.
He may be a skootch late.
Lucy, you sure
this is the place?
The Doctor's last signal was
broadcast from this location.
If she's not here,
she's probably dead.
Just a "yes" next
time, Loose, okay?
What the hells?
Hey, what's going on?
Salt Plains Law.
Any captive can wrestle Big
Borna in there for their freedom.
Captive? Oh, shit.
You're in for a treat, pal.
Okay, that's it. No more
bets, guys. No more bets.
I like your necklace.
I like your hair.
I'll sell that first.
Ahhh!
Yes!
Hey, you couldn't wait
for me in Spring Hill?
Dial it down,
Jaqobis. I handled it.
How? She would've
torn my arm off.
Lydian Nerve Pinch.
They teach it in
emergency surgery
in case you run
out of anesthetic.
Way to go, Doc.
Hey. Salt Plains Law,
she wins, she goes.
That's before I knew
she was a doctor.
Be nice to see one of my boys
settled down with a good woman.
Did she just propose to you?
Listen, I'm very flattered...
And very outnumbered.
Okay, I take it back, Johnny.
You can handle this part.
So, when every little
girl dreams of her big day,
is this what you saw?
More or less. Maybe
a chocolate fountain.
Ha! Nice catch. Ow! Rude!
Watch out!
On my signal, jump left. Now!
That is how a bar brawl is born.
Pawter?
I need Johnny on his game.
Pawter's just a distraction.
The kind of girl who...
Sleeps with her patients?
Fuses a bomb to the chest of the
most dangerous man in Westerley.
She could get Johnny hurt.
Won't stop him from helping her.
Even our asshole
dad couldn't knock
the hero out of him.
Look, that's what
makes us a great team.
You lead, I shoot.
Johnny gives a shit.
Do you really want
him to lose that?
Okay.
Hey, lady. You need a ride?
What happened?
I thought we made a
pretty good team back there.
It's not you. It's...
I don't even know
where to start.
You can start with
why you left Spring Hill.
I mean, Jelco's a dick, but
he'd never hurt Qreshi royalty.
What if Qreshi
royalty's the problem?
I stole this from Jelco.
It's got Company plans
for building walls around
every major town on Westerley.
Why? I thought they put the wall
up because Old Town rebelled.
So did I. But it looks like Old
Town's just a part of a bigger plan.
I have to warn people.
Alone, on foot, in a
wasteland full of rapey hill folk?
Okay, so, I haven't
worked out all the kinks yet.
The Company's building
a cage for this entire moon.
I can't just sit by and watch.
You work for The Rack. I
don't want to get you in trouble.
Look, hole up in Lucy for a bit.
Just until you figure
out your next move.
I thought Killjoys
take no sides.
Friends do.
Reclamation and Apprehension.
We have a warrant for
the escort of Jake Qayumi.
I wanna go! Let go of me!
- Don't you move!
I don't care what your warrant
says. You can't have my boy.
Law says we can, Lans.
Prodigy School
took my first son.
Company bombings took
my wife. Jake's all I got left.
Da, I want to see Olan.
Olan got picked 'cause he was
the smartest kid in Old Town.
You still mix up your letters.
Somebody made a mistake.
You want Jake growing
up behind that wall?
Your son has a way
out of Old Town. Take it.
Hey, I said you're not going!
Hey!
Forgot to mention,
I hate bullies.
He really does.
Take the kid if he wants to go.
All right.
We'll get him there
safely. You have my word.
Doesn't matter. As soon as they
leave Westerley, they forget all about us.
Been three years since
his brother went to Prodigy.
What's The Company
gonna take from us next?
Go.
Come on.
Sorry, Da.
Got a few more kids to pick up.
So, how long did Dutch
say Pawter could stay?
Oh, I haven't asked her yet, but
I am really looking forward to it.
You want to tell your people
to play nice with my shit?
My people?
My tribe's over
there, playing nice.
My tribe's more fun.
Hey.
Not a puzzle guy, huh?
No.
They were more Olan's thing.
So, are you nervous
about seeing him?
It's been three years. What if
he doesn't even want me here?
That's not gonna happen,
because a brother will
always have your back.
Isn't that right, Johnny? Yep.
Even if they stab you in it.
Hmm?
You stabbed your brother?
Just a little bit.
And it was in the
front, not the back.
Still counts.
Okay, as soon as we dock, I
will get us into Prodigy's database.
Whatever Khlyen
sent, I will find.
How long till we
dock? Don't know.
How long will the
good doctor be with us?
She had nowhere
else to go, Dutch.
Hey, did I say anything when
you let Alvis Scar-bunk with us?
Fine. But she's your stray.
Keep her out of our
shit, and stay out of hers.
I'm being really
serious, Johnny.
That transmission could be the
key to my connection with Arkyn.
I need your full
focus right now.
Always.
We've been cleared for docking.
No fair.
Wish my school
had looked like that.
Let's gear up.
Thank you for the nerd box.
Data miners to help Lucy weed
through the station's central memory core
for Khlyen's transmission.
And where do we
plug these suckers in?
Security control.
Whoever finds it first.
Docked and cleared. Have
a good first day of school.
Remember to share your lunch.
All right, short stacks,
let's move! It's school time!
Let's get our learning on.
Come on.
I swear he was adopted.
Oh, way to make
a kid feel welcome.
I guess someone
didn't get the memo.
Hello? Hello?
Where are the rest of the kids?
Where's the rest of everybody?
Okay, small fries, stick close.
Welcome to Prodigy.
I know that voice.
I hate that voice.
At least we can guess who
Khlyen sent his last message to.
Great. The last time they worked
together, they nearly started a war.
What fun are they up to now?
Congratulations.
You are the elite few to qualify
for the Prodigy School Program,
a special education
initiative on behalf of The Nine
for Westerley's
most gifted children.
Please proceed through the doors
to receive your welcome packages
and assigned class guardians.
Breach, Classroom A.
Go. Pawter and I got the kids.
Come on. Let's go.
What is Delle Seyah up to?
Breach, Classroom A.
Archvillain's abandoned
space station,
I've seen this movie.
If we get attacked by zombie
kids, I'm gonna be so mad.
That's Classroom A
dead ahead. You sure?
If this is a classroom,
why are there cryopods?
Someone's making kidcicles.
What kind of school is this?
- The exclusive kind.
- Stand down.
And I don't recall
enrolling you.
Did you touch the pods?
Seyah, they're empty.
What have you done with
them? Where are the children?
What do you mean? They
were empty when we got here.
Hey. Over here.
Blood. Wherever those kids are,
I don't think they
left here willingly.
Biometric ID confirmed.
Commencing lockdown
on all docking bays.
What have you done to my ship?
Making sure she stays put.
Nobody is leaving until
we find those children.
We're here on
official RAC business.
Unlock my ship.
Show me your warrant.
We're escorting your new class.
This is wrong.
We're not ready for them yet.
The current class continues
for another six months.
They should still be asleep.
How long have they been missing?
No idea.
I got an alert that your ship
was approaching the station.
I arrived here just after you.
Lucy, confirm.
Affirmative.
An O-Class Cruiser
docked with the station
approximately 12 minutes ago.
Johnny, can you figure out
when the pods were opened?
Yeah, the pod's
biometer should tell me.
D'av, take the kids back to Lucy
until we find out what's going on.
Copy that. Already moving.
Go. Help the Killjoy.
Who else has
access to the station
and knows how to wake the kids?
Just one person.
Malta Chambers, class guardian.
With The Company 18
years. Perfect record.
The guardians monitor
the children's progress.
They're fully vetted before
they join the program.
To watch sleeping kids in cryo?
How do you test
for that? A pulse?
Bring up the security
footage of the pod room.
It's gone. All of it.
Scan the station for life forms.
The station was built
to block all scans.
The children are here.
Chambers must have them.
Nobody else is onboard?
I'm piloting a new
learning technique.
Until I'm sure it's viable,
the guest list for the
station is very exclusive.
Why are you here, Yalena?
I missed our
hate-flirting. Obviously.
But you're no one's bus
driver, and I'm not a fool.
So, what are you looking for?
You really don't
know? No. Tell me.
If we're gonna work
together, you have to trust me.
Then ante up.
What are you really
doing to these kids?
Killjoy, huh? What's
that like? Crazy, right?
Crazy. Yeah, I knew it.
Man, you guys are insane. They
wouldn't take me. I had a heart thing.
Now, I'm stuck playing bodyguard
for her majesty, Delle Shitza.
Well, working for the
baddest bitch in the Quad's
got to have its moments.
It's just dumb
parties and meetings.
This missing kids thing is the
most action I've seen in months.
The kids are missing?
Olan's not even here?
Hey, Jake... Screw
this. I'll find him myself.
I don't think your heart is why The
Rack turned you down, Hokkhead.
Try not to lose
the rest of them.
I got this.
Hey, I heard about the
kids. How can I help?
I'm trying to figure out when
these kids were taken from the pods,
but these things are fried.
If I take the tech, will
you handle the bio?
Deal. Let's science this shit.
So, how well do you
know Delle Seyah?
All The Nine grow up together.
We're an incestuous
little dynasty.
Hmm.
When I was 15, she put
dye in our swimming pool.
Turned my skin green
during council elections.
I'm sure you took
that lying down.
Yep.
And then I mixed
Dilex-12 into her shampoo.
Took her two years to grow
back so much as an eyelash.
Chemistry's a
bitch, and so am I.
I'm both turned
on and terrified.
I get that a lot.
These aren't straight cryopods.
They were neurofeeding
these kids in their sleep.
What is this shit?
Jake? Come on, buddy.
Dropped something,
big guy. Go away.
Rocks? You brought rocks?
They're from my house. Olan
doesn't even know that it got bombed.
Hey, you're a Nova cadet?
I joined Novas when I was about
your age. Best summers of my life.
Dad says Novas are suck-ups.
Yeah? Sounds like our
dads would get along.
They're both giant ass...
Jerks. They're both jerks.
Nah.
Mine's an asshole.
We're gonna find Olan, okay?
Ma'am?
Dutch, I thought we were
alone. There's a woman...
We see her. She's
heading for the airlock bay.
Bruxton, Guardian Chambers
is heading for the
portside airlock bay.
Intercept and apprehend.
Understood. DUTCH:
No, stay in position!
If she makes it to my ship, we
may not find those other children.
I don't like this. She could be
drawing us into some kind of trap.
D'av? The kids are
unguarded on Lucy.
Shit. I'm on my way.
I know what you did to
the children. Chambers!
Suck on this, Killjoys.
What the hells?
Oh!
I lost Bruxton.
I lost all the feeds!
Come on.
Hey, little people?
You here?
Here! Here.
D'av? Status?
Kids are safe. Bruxton catch
up with the space nanny yet?
Welcome to... To
Prod... Prodigy.
No. But she caught
the hells up with him.
Johnny, I lost Chambers.
You've got to get
the cams back up.
I'm trying.
Can you give me a hand
over here? Pass the Mediscan.
Here.
So, what is it?
DNA, amino acids, proteins...
We found the kids, Johnny.
This is all that's left of them.
Electrocution,
stopped his heart.
What about the kids?
What killed them?
Oh, great.
You're here, too. Best day ever.
We need to get everyone
off this station now.
Not until Chambers is found. I
need to know who else is behind this.
Have your beefy menfolk
guard the students.
You were neurofeeding
those children.
No one calls it that anymore.
"Compressed learning."
Whatever. It's barbaric and illegal.
Your feeders killed
those children.
Chambers killed the children.
The cryo technique
is painless and safe.
The children wake
up experts in their field.
No homework, no pimples.
Had it been that easy for you,
maybe you could've
passed finals without Jakk.
You're using Westerlyns as lab
rats because they're expendable.
That's Company business,
which is no longer any of yours.
If you don't want
the truth exposed,
send Delle Seyah Kendry
to answer for her crimes.
Level 9. Alone and unarmed.
Justice will be done.
Justice for what?
She's the kid killer.
Let's give her what she
wants. Our turn to draw her out.
Are you... You're seriously
proposing to use me as bait?
You want Chambers? Step up.
We're done here.
Dutch!
Are you crazy?
It'll heal. But you know
what won't? Your reputation.
Where's your security, Delle
Seyah? Why won't you call for help?
Whatever you're doing here,
your own people don't know about it,
and I'm all you've got.
So, are we going
to fight some more?
Or are we going to behave?
What's your plan?
We plant these motion
sensors at the end of both halls.
When Chambers trips
them, take her down.
Hmm.
How's the kid?
Talk to him yet?
Eh, it'll just make it worse.
He just lost his brother.
We know what that's like.
Pawter said Olan never woke up.
He was asleep the whole time.
That's good.
I was worried he might be
scared. He hates small spaces.
I guess you have to
take me home now.
Unless I can go with you.
We're gonna catch
whoever did this.
Nova promise.
You said you'd find Olan, too.
Novas are bullshit.
Jake.
Yep. Made it worse.
Delle Seyah, we're in position.
The motion sensors are ready.
I don't need to remind you
that if anything happens to me,
things will get very
awkward for you.
Relax.
When Chambers trips the
sensors, we'll be right behind her.
Then let's cut
the shit, shall we?
I think you're here
because of our mutual friend.
We have no mutual friends.
Tell me, what's it like living
a life so free of nuance?
Must be refreshing. Like
ice cream and puppies.
I know Khlyen left the Quad,
and I know Red 17 was destroyed.
Now you show me yours,
Yala. Tell me why you're here.
Khlyen's final transmission
from Red 17 was sent here.
This doesn't make sense.
We communicate on a
schedule. He's never early.
Communicate about what?
John, the data miners have
located the Arkyn transmission.
It overloaded the memory core,
and was rerouted to Classroom A.
Well, that's where the
kids were. And Chambers.
She's here. What do I do?
Run, you idiot!
Why didn't Chambers
trip the sensors, Johnny?
I don't know!
Don't shoot! I need her alive!
What the hells is she?
Digital ghosting.
Chambers used the camera's
light spectrum to holoproject.
D'av, we lost
visuals on Chambers.
Dutch? Dutch,
you're cutting out.
D'av, Chambers might be coming for you.
- Dutch...
Go check on him and
Pawter. I've got Delle Seyah.
Okay.
Lucy, what's going
on with the comms?
The station's operating system
has commandeered my controls.
What? You're being hacked?
In less specific terms, yes.
Hey, little people! Hey! Hey!
Back on board
now. It isn't safe.
But the announcement said
to meet in the airlock bay.
What announcement?
You got to be kidding me.
Aah!
D'avin!
Pawter! We're heading back to
Lucy. Chambers is on the move.
That's impossible.
Pawter, come on.
Listen, I was able to isolate the
DNA strands from the pod discharge.
Chambers' DNA
is part of the soup.
She's been dead the whole time.
Well, if Chambers was liquefied
with the kids, then who's doing this?
Not all the kids were liquefied.
Olan? You're alive!
Jake, we got to go.
Come on.
Yeah. I missed you, too, pal.
Easy. You're in shock.
Olan... He's still... Yeah.
Yeah, we know. He's alive.
He's got Jake on Lucy.
Why didn't I hear
that announcement?
Audiometrics. Adults
lose the top end of pitch.
He used a frequency
only kids can hear.
Really? Is that a thing?
Beta Security
Protocol initiated.
I in no way like
the sound of that.
What is that?
Invasion safeguard.
Life support is cut to
everything but the cryopods.
I hate you so much.
Release the ship from the docking
clamps, and I'll restore life support.
You have 15 minutes before the
oxygen runs out. You'd better hurry.
Congrats, Delle Seyah.
Your baby evil overlord
takes right after you.
The boy is clearly unstable.
That's hardly my fault.
None of this matters if we
suffocate. Can you override?
If we can get to
the control room.
Hey, Johnny, I need
you to crack open Lucy,
and tell that little
shit he's grounded.
We'll get the kids back to the
cryopods, buy us some time.
Be careful in there.
Don't underestimate Olan.
I said he's smart.
Not smarter than me.
He probably is smarter.
Empirically speaking.
Well, no one asked
you, Xosia. God.
Come on.
I can't let you do this, Olan.
You can keep rerouting
and recoding all you want,
but I will own you.
Your attitude is very unbecoming
for a boy with your
potential and intellect.
Shut it.
I don't need a
parent. I need a ship.
You have to put life support back
on in the station. They could die.
That's on them, Jake. Okay?
I spent a month building
them something to chase.
If they'd just ran after
Chambers like I planned,
we'd be halfway across the
Quad in their ship by now.
But they wouldn't
leave you alone.
They're good people, Olan.
They're Killjoys, Jake. Okay?
They don't care about you. You're
just a job to them. I'm your brother.
What's wrong, Olan?
I get these headaches
sometimes. Sometimes I see shit.
Hey, look.
I promised I'd
come back for you.
And I did.
Look, we can go...
We can go anywhere we want now.
There's no more Dad, there's
no more Westerley, okay?
It's just you and me.
Oxygen level, 30%.
Okay, since it's partly my
fault that we might die today,
I'll pay you back.
With what?
Two lies and a truth.
You know that game?
I tell you three
things. One is true.
Save your air.
One, I drink the
blood of the innocent.
Two, I love your hair.
Three...
The Prodigy Program is
a living human seed bank
to protect all Qreshi
culture and knowledge.
There are two reasons to keep
a seed bank. Winter, or war.
Which were you expecting?
That depends on
Khlyen's message.
And it's called "two
lies and a truth," Killjoy,
not "ask me anything."
Where's the fun in that?
I've got you. I've got
you. Shallow breaths.
Don't you dare
fantasize about this later.
Ow, shit!
Oh, shit.
Don't shoot!
Olan's trying to release
the ship manually.
Something's wrong
with my brother.
He's seeing things.
I know.
Can you help him?
Yeah, but I need
your help first.
It's okay. You'll be safe.
The pods have life support.
Oxygen levels, 25%.
You good, Xosia? Okay.
Sure these pods are safe? Olan
killed his class with these things.
It wasn't him.
A massive data surge fried the
pods and tripped the pH regulators.
That's why the pods
liquefied the bodies.
It was a malfunction.
Olan barely got out alive.
When did this surge happen?
Right when Red 17 shut down.
Guys, I think we found
Khlyen's last transmission.
It's in Olan.
Sweet tech.
The holocamera was a
nice touch. It was smart.
Are you gonna
shoot me with that?
I disengaged the gun.
My brother's fine, by the
way. Thanks for asking.
Where's my brother?
Jake, you trust the
Killjoys over me?
They'll send you back to Dad.
They're gonna hand me over to
The Company for more experiments!
Is that what you want?
Stay back, Jake.
The game is over, Olan.
You're the smart one, right?
So you know if I touch
these two wires together,
it sends a surge to
Lucy's power core.
You want to take me back to
Westerley? I'll send us back in pieces.
Put the wires down,
Olan. You're not a killer.
I think we both
know that's a lie.
You know, I'm betting that
Bruxton was a miscalculation.
You didn't plan for his heart defect.
But why did you kill Chambers?
Because she tried to kill me.
I woke up from that pod,
and my head was on fire.
Chambers was
over me, shaking me.
So, I pushed her off into a pod.
Look, I think she
was trying to save you.
There was a massive data surge,
and it triggered the pods'
sterilization sub-routines.
Hey, look, I think that she was
trying to pull you out of your...
Out of your pod
before it killed you.
Bullshit.
A system malfunction killed
your class, Olan. Not Chambers.
All that data, it was rerouted
through your neurofeeders,
encoded onto your brain.
That's why you're
having these headaches.
That's why you're
seeing all this weird shit.
You need help, Olan.
Oxygen levels, 20%.
There's still one pod.
Take it.
You damn Jaqobis
and your damsel shit.
Your brother is a
really good man.
He is.
But just so you know,
he snores like a fat man.
Come on, Delle Seyah. Hang on.
Stay with me.
How do I turn on life support?
Biometric.
Delle Seyah Kendry.
Identity confirmed.
Restoring life support now.
Life support's back on.
Lucy's not going anywhere.
I'm not bluffing. Yes, you are!
And it is pissing me off.
You are a shitty big brother.
You left Jake in a crap
town with a crap dad.
And I know what that's like.
And here, you have this chance.
You have a chance to make everything
better, and you're screwing it up.
Or is this really how you
want Jake to remember you?
Bat-shit crazy, holding two
wires, about to kill us all?
I think it's a little too
late to take that back now.
No.
It's not.
Jake never has
to know any of this
if you let me help you.
Disengaging. Ready to launch.
Pawter gave him something to
sleep. Jake's with him right now.
Nice work talking him down.
Played the little
brother guilt card.
Well, you are a
ninja with that card.
Oh, I had to say something.
He was gonna blow up my girl.
Pawter?
Lucy.
Pawter. Aw, you love her.
Okay, you know what? I'm
done with children for today.
John?
Thanks for not
getting us blown up.
Must be Friday.
Just so we're clear,
whatever's in Olan's head,
Khlyen meant it for me.
I need to know
what it is. So do I.
And why is Khlyen
sending you anything?
I guess Daddy likes me best.
Olan is a kid, not a computer.
You can't just hack his brain.
Oh, I know a cozy
little lab says otherwise.
No, you're not using
anymore kids as lab rats.
Then make me a better offer.
Olan is part of your
human seed bank project.
If you take him to any of your
people, they'll find out all about it.
Do you want that?
Hmm, you suck the
fun out of everything.
Oh, you want fun?
All right. I'll play.
One, I'm your best shot
at keeping Olan safe
because he's just as
important to me as he is to you.
Two, I'll share with you
whatever he reveals.
Three,
I didn't hate that kiss.
Please.
It's not called
"three truths," Killjoy.
You can take him. For now.
I'll put my faith in the
loyalty you show your friends.
It seems to be
your only weakness.
Oh, I'm not your
friend, Delle Seyah.
No, you're something
much better, Yala.
You're an ally now.
Whether you like it, or not.
Whatever Khlyen sent from Arkyn,
at least now we
have a piece of it.
Hey, D'avin, I've never
been to Leith before.
Do you think you
could visit us sometime?
You bet.
They'll like it
here. It's quiet.
Yeah, that's what Olan
needs. And security.
I need you to help him
unlock whatever's in his head.
But no one can know about it.
We're very good at keeping
confessions. Comes with the sexy robes.
Any luck deciphering the skin
scrolls you found in the mines?
I've had some of the
older uncles working on it.
It's written in
the First Tongue,
but it looks like
it's encrypted.
We need the key.
Great.
One step forward and
five kicks in the ass.
I wish I could be more help with
whatever demons are haunting you.
I'm starting to think my
demons are haunting all of us.
Psst!
Tidy work, Mr. Lee.
Set a course for Telen.
Why Telen?
It's the Jaqobis' home planet.
Hopefully, something there can
provide answers to D'avin's immunity.
The Black Root will know
once we deviate from course.
They'll come for you.
Then let's make this count, huh?
I do love a road trip.
---
Previously on Killjoys...
We tried landing on
Arkyn, and it's not empty.
There's some kind of
manmade defense layer.
Why are you always
chasing dragons?
I don't hit women, but I got a
partner who does. So, lady, be nice.
Oh, relax. Don't
be such a killjoy.
Ha! I just got that.
Johnny? Are you on your way?
You didn't mention that massive
data transmission Khlyen sent
just before they
blew up the base.
It was encrypted.
Find out where it went. Write
me a warrant to get there.
I need to know
what's in that file.
You sure you wanna do this?
Last time, you got hurt.
You need to let
that go. I want this.
How bad?
All the bad you've got.
Ow!
My mom taught
me that. Oh, respect.
Too bad she didn't teach
you how to fight like a girl.
So, where's Monkpants?
Alvis? At the monastery,
researching Scarbacks on Arkyn.
Oh, yeah? Good.
Look, it's a small ship.
I don't want things
getting weird.
Weird how?
You and me are
complicated, Alvis is simple.
So, if stuff
happens, it happens.
I just wanna say, we're good.
Aw!
Okay. Now, it's weird.
Yeah. Little bit.
Nice to see you guys
keeping shit platonic.
I have RAC Officer Turin
on an encrypted channel.
Timing, Lucy. Timing.
Not interrupting, am I?
Depends. Why are you calling?
I know where Red 17's
last transmission went.
Definitely not
interrupting. Where?
Prodigy School. Quadrant 4.
Prodigy School?
A school for gifted Westy kids.
Taking the smart kids away to
better schools used to be optional.
Now, it's mandatory.
RAC handles all the Escort
warrants for the students,
so, I got your team one.
To escort students?
Like, small people?
Children, Dutch.
They're called "children."
Why is Khlyen sending a
transmission to a school?
That's a little creepy.
It's a lot creepy. So,
get in there and find out.
But do anything other than
what the warrant requires,
you're on your own.
Fine. We'll do it. But
you get to babysit.
Screw that.
One of the three
kids is in Old Town.
Johnny should be
done springing Pawter.
I say we swing by en
route, make him babysit.
Even better. Lucy, take us in.
Will do.
Grab your provisions. Old Town
must be living hell these days.
Hell is drunker than I remember.
Hey! Jelco let you
back inside the wall?
Even Jelco can't
override a warrant.
Food and medicine. Oh!
Now, that calls for a drink.
Is that shit even legal?
This shit isn't even drinkable.
Just don't tell them.
We're looking for this kid.
His father's a miner,
and their old address
is a pile of rubble.
Sabine!
Sabine used to work
at the mine's canteen.
My friends here are
looking for this boy.
Killjoys hunt kids now?
Times must be tough.
No, we're not arresting
him. He qualified for Prodigy.
We're taking the class
to school, where it's safe.
That's actually sweet.
Prodigy's about
the only nice thing
The Company does for us Westies.
Well, it feels good to
give back, you know?
Try the East Tenements.
Most families migrated
there after the bombings.
Johnny here yet? No.
But your boy left you a message.
With you? Which means
I'm not gonna like it.
Pawter busted herself
out of Spring Hill
by putting a bomb
in Jelco's chest,
and making a run
for the Salt Plains.
Johnny's tracking her down.
He may be a skootch late.
Lucy, you sure
this is the place?
The Doctor's last signal was
broadcast from this location.
If she's not here,
she's probably dead.
Just a "yes" next
time, Loose, okay?
What the hells?
Hey, what's going on?
Salt Plains Law.
Any captive can wrestle Big
Borna in there for their freedom.
Captive? Oh, shit.
You're in for a treat, pal.
Okay, that's it. No more
bets, guys. No more bets.
I like your necklace.
I like your hair.
I'll sell that first.
Ahhh!
Yes!
Hey, you couldn't wait
for me in Spring Hill?
Dial it down,
Jaqobis. I handled it.
How? She would've
torn my arm off.
Lydian Nerve Pinch.
They teach it in
emergency surgery
in case you run
out of anesthetic.
Way to go, Doc.
Hey. Salt Plains Law,
she wins, she goes.
That's before I knew
she was a doctor.
Be nice to see one of my boys
settled down with a good woman.
Did she just propose to you?
Listen, I'm very flattered...
And very outnumbered.
Okay, I take it back, Johnny.
You can handle this part.
So, when every little
girl dreams of her big day,
is this what you saw?
More or less. Maybe
a chocolate fountain.
Ha! Nice catch. Ow! Rude!
Watch out!
On my signal, jump left. Now!
That is how a bar brawl is born.
Pawter?
I need Johnny on his game.
Pawter's just a distraction.
The kind of girl who...
Sleeps with her patients?
Fuses a bomb to the chest of the
most dangerous man in Westerley.
She could get Johnny hurt.
Won't stop him from helping her.
Even our asshole
dad couldn't knock
the hero out of him.
Look, that's what
makes us a great team.
You lead, I shoot.
Johnny gives a shit.
Do you really want
him to lose that?
Okay.
Hey, lady. You need a ride?
What happened?
I thought we made a
pretty good team back there.
It's not you. It's...
I don't even know
where to start.
You can start with
why you left Spring Hill.
I mean, Jelco's a dick, but
he'd never hurt Qreshi royalty.
What if Qreshi
royalty's the problem?
I stole this from Jelco.
It's got Company plans
for building walls around
every major town on Westerley.
Why? I thought they put the wall
up because Old Town rebelled.
So did I. But it looks like Old
Town's just a part of a bigger plan.
I have to warn people.
Alone, on foot, in a
wasteland full of rapey hill folk?
Okay, so, I haven't
worked out all the kinks yet.
The Company's building
a cage for this entire moon.
I can't just sit by and watch.
You work for The Rack. I
don't want to get you in trouble.
Look, hole up in Lucy for a bit.
Just until you figure
out your next move.
I thought Killjoys
take no sides.
Friends do.
Reclamation and Apprehension.
We have a warrant for
the escort of Jake Qayumi.
I wanna go! Let go of me!
- Don't you move!
I don't care what your warrant
says. You can't have my boy.
Law says we can, Lans.
Prodigy School
took my first son.
Company bombings took
my wife. Jake's all I got left.
Da, I want to see Olan.
Olan got picked 'cause he was
the smartest kid in Old Town.
You still mix up your letters.
Somebody made a mistake.
You want Jake growing
up behind that wall?
Your son has a way
out of Old Town. Take it.
Hey, I said you're not going!
Hey!
Forgot to mention,
I hate bullies.
He really does.
Take the kid if he wants to go.
All right.
We'll get him there
safely. You have my word.
Doesn't matter. As soon as they
leave Westerley, they forget all about us.
Been three years since
his brother went to Prodigy.
What's The Company
gonna take from us next?
Go.
Come on.
Sorry, Da.
Got a few more kids to pick up.
So, how long did Dutch
say Pawter could stay?
Oh, I haven't asked her yet, but
I am really looking forward to it.
You want to tell your people
to play nice with my shit?
My people?
My tribe's over
there, playing nice.
My tribe's more fun.
Hey.
Not a puzzle guy, huh?
No.
They were more Olan's thing.
So, are you nervous
about seeing him?
It's been three years. What if
he doesn't even want me here?
That's not gonna happen,
because a brother will
always have your back.
Isn't that right, Johnny? Yep.
Even if they stab you in it.
Hmm?
You stabbed your brother?
Just a little bit.
And it was in the
front, not the back.
Still counts.
Okay, as soon as we dock, I
will get us into Prodigy's database.
Whatever Khlyen
sent, I will find.
How long till we
dock? Don't know.
How long will the
good doctor be with us?
She had nowhere
else to go, Dutch.
Hey, did I say anything when
you let Alvis Scar-bunk with us?
Fine. But she's your stray.
Keep her out of our
shit, and stay out of hers.
I'm being really
serious, Johnny.
That transmission could be the
key to my connection with Arkyn.
I need your full
focus right now.
Always.
We've been cleared for docking.
No fair.
Wish my school
had looked like that.
Let's gear up.
Thank you for the nerd box.
Data miners to help Lucy weed
through the station's central memory core
for Khlyen's transmission.
And where do we
plug these suckers in?
Security control.
Whoever finds it first.
Docked and cleared. Have
a good first day of school.
Remember to share your lunch.
All right, short stacks,
let's move! It's school time!
Let's get our learning on.
Come on.
I swear he was adopted.
Oh, way to make
a kid feel welcome.
I guess someone
didn't get the memo.
Hello? Hello?
Where are the rest of the kids?
Where's the rest of everybody?
Okay, small fries, stick close.
Welcome to Prodigy.
I know that voice.
I hate that voice.
At least we can guess who
Khlyen sent his last message to.
Great. The last time they worked
together, they nearly started a war.
What fun are they up to now?
Congratulations.
You are the elite few to qualify
for the Prodigy School Program,
a special education
initiative on behalf of The Nine
for Westerley's
most gifted children.
Please proceed through the doors
to receive your welcome packages
and assigned class guardians.
Breach, Classroom A.
Go. Pawter and I got the kids.
Come on. Let's go.
What is Delle Seyah up to?
Breach, Classroom A.
Archvillain's abandoned
space station,
I've seen this movie.
If we get attacked by zombie
kids, I'm gonna be so mad.
That's Classroom A
dead ahead. You sure?
If this is a classroom,
why are there cryopods?
Someone's making kidcicles.
What kind of school is this?
- The exclusive kind.
- Stand down.
And I don't recall
enrolling you.
Did you touch the pods?
Seyah, they're empty.
What have you done with
them? Where are the children?
What do you mean? They
were empty when we got here.
Hey. Over here.
Blood. Wherever those kids are,
I don't think they
left here willingly.
Biometric ID confirmed.
Commencing lockdown
on all docking bays.
What have you done to my ship?
Making sure she stays put.
Nobody is leaving until
we find those children.
We're here on
official RAC business.
Unlock my ship.
Show me your warrant.
We're escorting your new class.
This is wrong.
We're not ready for them yet.
The current class continues
for another six months.
They should still be asleep.
How long have they been missing?
No idea.
I got an alert that your ship
was approaching the station.
I arrived here just after you.
Lucy, confirm.
Affirmative.
An O-Class Cruiser
docked with the station
approximately 12 minutes ago.
Johnny, can you figure out
when the pods were opened?
Yeah, the pod's
biometer should tell me.
D'av, take the kids back to Lucy
until we find out what's going on.
Copy that. Already moving.
Go. Help the Killjoy.
Who else has
access to the station
and knows how to wake the kids?
Just one person.
Malta Chambers, class guardian.
With The Company 18
years. Perfect record.
The guardians monitor
the children's progress.
They're fully vetted before
they join the program.
To watch sleeping kids in cryo?
How do you test
for that? A pulse?
Bring up the security
footage of the pod room.
It's gone. All of it.
Scan the station for life forms.
The station was built
to block all scans.
The children are here.
Chambers must have them.
Nobody else is onboard?
I'm piloting a new
learning technique.
Until I'm sure it's viable,
the guest list for the
station is very exclusive.
Why are you here, Yalena?
I missed our
hate-flirting. Obviously.
But you're no one's bus
driver, and I'm not a fool.
So, what are you looking for?
You really don't
know? No. Tell me.
If we're gonna work
together, you have to trust me.
Then ante up.
What are you really
doing to these kids?
Killjoy, huh? What's
that like? Crazy, right?
Crazy. Yeah, I knew it.
Man, you guys are insane. They
wouldn't take me. I had a heart thing.
Now, I'm stuck playing bodyguard
for her majesty, Delle Shitza.
Well, working for the
baddest bitch in the Quad's
got to have its moments.
It's just dumb
parties and meetings.
This missing kids thing is the
most action I've seen in months.
The kids are missing?
Olan's not even here?
Hey, Jake... Screw
this. I'll find him myself.
I don't think your heart is why The
Rack turned you down, Hokkhead.
Try not to lose
the rest of them.
I got this.
Hey, I heard about the
kids. How can I help?
I'm trying to figure out when
these kids were taken from the pods,
but these things are fried.
If I take the tech, will
you handle the bio?
Deal. Let's science this shit.
So, how well do you
know Delle Seyah?
All The Nine grow up together.
We're an incestuous
little dynasty.
Hmm.
When I was 15, she put
dye in our swimming pool.
Turned my skin green
during council elections.
I'm sure you took
that lying down.
Yep.
And then I mixed
Dilex-12 into her shampoo.
Took her two years to grow
back so much as an eyelash.
Chemistry's a
bitch, and so am I.
I'm both turned
on and terrified.
I get that a lot.
These aren't straight cryopods.
They were neurofeeding
these kids in their sleep.
What is this shit?
Jake? Come on, buddy.
Dropped something,
big guy. Go away.
Rocks? You brought rocks?
They're from my house. Olan
doesn't even know that it got bombed.
Hey, you're a Nova cadet?
I joined Novas when I was about
your age. Best summers of my life.
Dad says Novas are suck-ups.
Yeah? Sounds like our
dads would get along.
They're both giant ass...
Jerks. They're both jerks.
Nah.
Mine's an asshole.
We're gonna find Olan, okay?
Ma'am?
Dutch, I thought we were
alone. There's a woman...
We see her. She's
heading for the airlock bay.
Bruxton, Guardian Chambers
is heading for the
portside airlock bay.
Intercept and apprehend.
Understood. DUTCH:
No, stay in position!
If she makes it to my ship, we
may not find those other children.
I don't like this. She could be
drawing us into some kind of trap.
D'av? The kids are
unguarded on Lucy.
Shit. I'm on my way.
I know what you did to
the children. Chambers!
Suck on this, Killjoys.
What the hells?
Oh!
I lost Bruxton.
I lost all the feeds!
Come on.
Hey, little people?
You here?
Here! Here.
D'av? Status?
Kids are safe. Bruxton catch
up with the space nanny yet?
Welcome to... To
Prod... Prodigy.
No. But she caught
the hells up with him.
Johnny, I lost Chambers.
You've got to get
the cams back up.
I'm trying.
Can you give me a hand
over here? Pass the Mediscan.
Here.
So, what is it?
DNA, amino acids, proteins...
We found the kids, Johnny.
This is all that's left of them.
Electrocution,
stopped his heart.
What about the kids?
What killed them?
Oh, great.
You're here, too. Best day ever.
We need to get everyone
off this station now.
Not until Chambers is found. I
need to know who else is behind this.
Have your beefy menfolk
guard the students.
You were neurofeeding
those children.
No one calls it that anymore.
"Compressed learning."
Whatever. It's barbaric and illegal.
Your feeders killed
those children.
Chambers killed the children.
The cryo technique
is painless and safe.
The children wake
up experts in their field.
No homework, no pimples.
Had it been that easy for you,
maybe you could've
passed finals without Jakk.
You're using Westerlyns as lab
rats because they're expendable.
That's Company business,
which is no longer any of yours.
If you don't want
the truth exposed,
send Delle Seyah Kendry
to answer for her crimes.
Level 9. Alone and unarmed.
Justice will be done.
Justice for what?
She's the kid killer.
Let's give her what she
wants. Our turn to draw her out.
Are you... You're seriously
proposing to use me as bait?
You want Chambers? Step up.
We're done here.
Dutch!
Are you crazy?
It'll heal. But you know
what won't? Your reputation.
Where's your security, Delle
Seyah? Why won't you call for help?
Whatever you're doing here,
your own people don't know about it,
and I'm all you've got.
So, are we going
to fight some more?
Or are we going to behave?
What's your plan?
We plant these motion
sensors at the end of both halls.
When Chambers trips
them, take her down.
Hmm.
How's the kid?
Talk to him yet?
Eh, it'll just make it worse.
He just lost his brother.
We know what that's like.
Pawter said Olan never woke up.
He was asleep the whole time.
That's good.
I was worried he might be
scared. He hates small spaces.
I guess you have to
take me home now.
Unless I can go with you.
We're gonna catch
whoever did this.
Nova promise.
You said you'd find Olan, too.
Novas are bullshit.
Jake.
Yep. Made it worse.
Delle Seyah, we're in position.
The motion sensors are ready.
I don't need to remind you
that if anything happens to me,
things will get very
awkward for you.
Relax.
When Chambers trips the
sensors, we'll be right behind her.
Then let's cut
the shit, shall we?
I think you're here
because of our mutual friend.
We have no mutual friends.
Tell me, what's it like living
a life so free of nuance?
Must be refreshing. Like
ice cream and puppies.
I know Khlyen left the Quad,
and I know Red 17 was destroyed.
Now you show me yours,
Yala. Tell me why you're here.
Khlyen's final transmission
from Red 17 was sent here.
This doesn't make sense.
We communicate on a
schedule. He's never early.
Communicate about what?
John, the data miners have
located the Arkyn transmission.
It overloaded the memory core,
and was rerouted to Classroom A.
Well, that's where the
kids were. And Chambers.
She's here. What do I do?
Run, you idiot!
Why didn't Chambers
trip the sensors, Johnny?
I don't know!
Don't shoot! I need her alive!
What the hells is she?
Digital ghosting.
Chambers used the camera's
light spectrum to holoproject.
D'av, we lost
visuals on Chambers.
Dutch? Dutch,
you're cutting out.
D'av, Chambers might be coming for you.
- Dutch...
Go check on him and
Pawter. I've got Delle Seyah.
Okay.
Lucy, what's going
on with the comms?
The station's operating system
has commandeered my controls.
What? You're being hacked?
In less specific terms, yes.
Hey, little people! Hey! Hey!
Back on board
now. It isn't safe.
But the announcement said
to meet in the airlock bay.
What announcement?
You got to be kidding me.
Aah!
D'avin!
Pawter! We're heading back to
Lucy. Chambers is on the move.
That's impossible.
Pawter, come on.
Listen, I was able to isolate the
DNA strands from the pod discharge.
Chambers' DNA
is part of the soup.
She's been dead the whole time.
Well, if Chambers was liquefied
with the kids, then who's doing this?
Not all the kids were liquefied.
Olan? You're alive!
Jake, we got to go.
Come on.
Yeah. I missed you, too, pal.
Easy. You're in shock.
Olan... He's still... Yeah.
Yeah, we know. He's alive.
He's got Jake on Lucy.
Why didn't I hear
that announcement?
Audiometrics. Adults
lose the top end of pitch.
He used a frequency
only kids can hear.
Really? Is that a thing?
Beta Security
Protocol initiated.
I in no way like
the sound of that.
What is that?
Invasion safeguard.
Life support is cut to
everything but the cryopods.
I hate you so much.
Release the ship from the docking
clamps, and I'll restore life support.
You have 15 minutes before the
oxygen runs out. You'd better hurry.
Congrats, Delle Seyah.
Your baby evil overlord
takes right after you.
The boy is clearly unstable.
That's hardly my fault.
None of this matters if we
suffocate. Can you override?
If we can get to
the control room.
Hey, Johnny, I need
you to crack open Lucy,
and tell that little
shit he's grounded.
We'll get the kids back to the
cryopods, buy us some time.
Be careful in there.
Don't underestimate Olan.
I said he's smart.
Not smarter than me.
He probably is smarter.
Empirically speaking.
Well, no one asked
you, Xosia. God.
Come on.
I can't let you do this, Olan.
You can keep rerouting
and recoding all you want,
but I will own you.
Your attitude is very unbecoming
for a boy with your
potential and intellect.
Shut it.
I don't need a
parent. I need a ship.
You have to put life support back
on in the station. They could die.
That's on them, Jake. Okay?
I spent a month building
them something to chase.
If they'd just ran after
Chambers like I planned,
we'd be halfway across the
Quad in their ship by now.
But they wouldn't
leave you alone.
They're good people, Olan.
They're Killjoys, Jake. Okay?
They don't care about you. You're
just a job to them. I'm your brother.
What's wrong, Olan?
I get these headaches
sometimes. Sometimes I see shit.
Hey, look.
I promised I'd
come back for you.
And I did.
Look, we can go...
We can go anywhere we want now.
There's no more Dad, there's
no more Westerley, okay?
It's just you and me.
Oxygen level, 30%.
Okay, since it's partly my
fault that we might die today,
I'll pay you back.
With what?
Two lies and a truth.
You know that game?
I tell you three
things. One is true.
Save your air.
One, I drink the
blood of the innocent.
Two, I love your hair.
Three...
The Prodigy Program is
a living human seed bank
to protect all Qreshi
culture and knowledge.
There are two reasons to keep
a seed bank. Winter, or war.
Which were you expecting?
That depends on
Khlyen's message.
And it's called "two
lies and a truth," Killjoy,
not "ask me anything."
Where's the fun in that?
I've got you. I've got
you. Shallow breaths.
Don't you dare
fantasize about this later.
Ow, shit!
Oh, shit.
Don't shoot!
Olan's trying to release
the ship manually.
Something's wrong
with my brother.
He's seeing things.
I know.
Can you help him?
Yeah, but I need
your help first.
It's okay. You'll be safe.
The pods have life support.
Oxygen levels, 25%.
You good, Xosia? Okay.
Sure these pods are safe? Olan
killed his class with these things.
It wasn't him.
A massive data surge fried the
pods and tripped the pH regulators.
That's why the pods
liquefied the bodies.
It was a malfunction.
Olan barely got out alive.
When did this surge happen?
Right when Red 17 shut down.
Guys, I think we found
Khlyen's last transmission.
It's in Olan.
Sweet tech.
The holocamera was a
nice touch. It was smart.
Are you gonna
shoot me with that?
I disengaged the gun.
My brother's fine, by the
way. Thanks for asking.
Where's my brother?
Jake, you trust the
Killjoys over me?
They'll send you back to Dad.
They're gonna hand me over to
The Company for more experiments!
Is that what you want?
Stay back, Jake.
The game is over, Olan.
You're the smart one, right?
So you know if I touch
these two wires together,
it sends a surge to
Lucy's power core.
You want to take me back to
Westerley? I'll send us back in pieces.
Put the wires down,
Olan. You're not a killer.
I think we both
know that's a lie.
You know, I'm betting that
Bruxton was a miscalculation.
You didn't plan for his heart defect.
But why did you kill Chambers?
Because she tried to kill me.
I woke up from that pod,
and my head was on fire.
Chambers was
over me, shaking me.
So, I pushed her off into a pod.
Look, I think she
was trying to save you.
There was a massive data surge,
and it triggered the pods'
sterilization sub-routines.
Hey, look, I think that she was
trying to pull you out of your...
Out of your pod
before it killed you.
Bullshit.
A system malfunction killed
your class, Olan. Not Chambers.
All that data, it was rerouted
through your neurofeeders,
encoded onto your brain.
That's why you're
having these headaches.
That's why you're
seeing all this weird shit.
You need help, Olan.
Oxygen levels, 20%.
There's still one pod.
Take it.
You damn Jaqobis
and your damsel shit.
Your brother is a
really good man.
He is.
But just so you know,
he snores like a fat man.
Come on, Delle Seyah. Hang on.
Stay with me.
How do I turn on life support?
Biometric.
Delle Seyah Kendry.
Identity confirmed.
Restoring life support now.
Life support's back on.
Lucy's not going anywhere.
I'm not bluffing. Yes, you are!
And it is pissing me off.
You are a shitty big brother.
You left Jake in a crap
town with a crap dad.
And I know what that's like.
And here, you have this chance.
You have a chance to make everything
better, and you're screwing it up.
Or is this really how you
want Jake to remember you?
Bat-shit crazy, holding two
wires, about to kill us all?
I think it's a little too
late to take that back now.
No.
It's not.
Jake never has
to know any of this
if you let me help you.
Disengaging. Ready to launch.
Pawter gave him something to
sleep. Jake's with him right now.
Nice work talking him down.
Played the little
brother guilt card.
Well, you are a
ninja with that card.
Oh, I had to say something.
He was gonna blow up my girl.
Pawter?
Lucy.
Pawter. Aw, you love her.
Okay, you know what? I'm
done with children for today.
John?
Thanks for not
getting us blown up.
Must be Friday.
Just so we're clear,
whatever's in Olan's head,
Khlyen meant it for me.
I need to know
what it is. So do I.
And why is Khlyen
sending you anything?
I guess Daddy likes me best.
Olan is a kid, not a computer.
You can't just hack his brain.
Oh, I know a cozy
little lab says otherwise.
No, you're not using
anymore kids as lab rats.
Then make me a better offer.
Olan is part of your
human seed bank project.
If you take him to any of your
people, they'll find out all about it.
Do you want that?
Hmm, you suck the
fun out of everything.
Oh, you want fun?
All right. I'll play.
One, I'm your best shot
at keeping Olan safe
because he's just as
important to me as he is to you.
Two, I'll share with you
whatever he reveals.
Three,
I didn't hate that kiss.
Please.
It's not called
"three truths," Killjoy.
You can take him. For now.
I'll put my faith in the
loyalty you show your friends.
It seems to be
your only weakness.
Oh, I'm not your
friend, Delle Seyah.
No, you're something
much better, Yala.
You're an ally now.
Whether you like it, or not.
Whatever Khlyen sent from Arkyn,
at least now we
have a piece of it.
Hey, D'avin, I've never
been to Leith before.
Do you think you
could visit us sometime?
You bet.
They'll like it
here. It's quiet.
Yeah, that's what Olan
needs. And security.
I need you to help him
unlock whatever's in his head.
But no one can know about it.
We're very good at keeping
confessions. Comes with the sexy robes.
Any luck deciphering the skin
scrolls you found in the mines?
I've had some of the
older uncles working on it.
It's written in
the First Tongue,
but it looks like
it's encrypted.
We need the key.
Great.
One step forward and
five kicks in the ass.
I wish I could be more help with
whatever demons are haunting you.
I'm starting to think my
demons are haunting all of us.
Psst!
Tidy work, Mr. Lee.
Set a course for Telen.
Why Telen?
It's the Jaqobis' home planet.
Hopefully, something there can
provide answers to D'avin's immunity.
The Black Root will know
once we deviate from course.
They'll come for you.
Then let's make this count, huh?
I do love a road trip.
