Killjoys (2015–…): Season 4, Episode 4 - What to Expect When You're Expecting... an Alien Parasite - full transcript
Dutch awaken to John at the brink of madness and the birth of D'av's child.
DUTCH: Previously on Killjoys...
- Something's wrong.
- What the hells is that?
The Hullen only need us as hosts
because they can't reproduce on their own.
D'AVIN: No way that's
a normal human kid.
MAN: Go, go!
John!
SEYAH: I've never
Hullenized anyone with so little plasma.
We don't know
what it could do to him.
I'm back, bitches.
Johnny J. Is alive.
I know how to find Dutch.
- How?
- All I need is a Green pool.
You think
there's more Green here?
I don't think so, know so.
Give me 24 hours to show yo.
What do you think D'av is
gonna do once he figures out
what you're really planning?
Get out of my head.
There's your pool. Find Dutch.
Then we go.
My plan is to take enough
Green to go full Hullen.
I want to be this.
(GUN FIRES)
Dutch!
Does this mean
what I think it means?
If you think it means your
water just broke, then yep.
Shit.
D'AVIN: Hey.
Me again.
Everything's good here.
Whole lot has changed
since you left.
Turin controls the Armada.
Hullen have taken over The RAC.
Pip and Pree are deputized
Killjoys now,
which is about as annoying
as it sounds.
And also...
Eight percent adorable.
Delle Seyah
is about to give birth
any second now,
which I guess means...
I'm about to be a dad.
She seems to be taking it well.
(BREATHING DEEPLY)
Get off me. You sound
like an asthmatic pervert.
Are you in pain?
You mean other than being
groped by you mouth-breathers?
No.
Can you do this
without Armada supplies?
Pretty much everything I need
is on that table.
Oh, except lube.
- Flavored, non-flavored?
- Wrong situation, Pip.
(CLEARS THROAT)
It's in case I need to get up in there.
You're not dealing
with an amateur here.
I started delivering calves
when I was 12.
It's all about the tiny hands.
SEYAH: And hard drugs.
- Or large drinks, barkeep.
- Coming up.
'Cause you and me both.
Oh, over here.
Let me see your nails.
(LOUD THUD)
Stop.
You're gonna crack
your damn skull.
- I can't help myself.
- I know.
You can't hold on to me forever.
But I can try.
John's doing great.
He misses you.
Why does he keep doing
that head-banging thing?
Concussive stimulation.
That parasite is causing
a massive secondary inflammation
in his brain right now.
Hitting himself seems
to relieve the pressure.
Great.
Great, so everything's
under control.
- How's Dutch doing?
- Still unconscious.
- Delle Seyah?
- I wish she was unconscious.
Okay, tell me the truth.
How long does John have
until we can't cure him?
I don't know.
But time isn't our only problem.
Whatever happened to the pool
on the prison planet
affected the Green on Lucy too.
- Shit, how?
- Don't know.
- Proximity, contamination...
- Wait, wait, so,
all the plasma we have
is frozen.
I wouldn't call it frozen.
It's just solid.
Can't even make
Hullen margaritas.
Okay, well,
that simplifies shit.
We just need
to get to the Armada
and hope like hell they have some
of John's source plasma left
so we can cleanse him.
The Armada's five days' travel.
What if we don't have that long?
Lucy, put me through to Turin.
We need him to send a jumpship
for emergency evac.
LUCY: The Armada is not responding
to attempts at hailing.
I can no longer locate
its signal coordinates.
So you are saying
that we are trapped out here
with my sick brother,
the first-ever
human-Hullen birth,
and our only chance at rescue
just disappeared.
LUCY: Affirmative.
Yeah. Everything is super good.
(LOUD THUD)
Please wake up.
(THEME SONG PLAYING)
DUTCH: A story
can't save my life.
This one can,
if you listen to every word.
It could save all of us.
(SIGHS)
When the nights were long
and the days were deep,
there lived a warrior
and the thief
who was about to save us all.
Wake up.
Find John Jaqobis.
(GASPS)
Open.
Lucy? LUCY: Yes, Dutch?
- Open the door.
- I'm sorry.
I appear to be
on general lockdown.
Why?
You're lying.
I'm not sure
I possess that capacity.
Well, now
you're definitely lying.
Would you like to hear a story?
Johnny has trouble
sleeping sometimes,
so I have 432,000
bedtime stories.
- Lucy!
- I'm under orders
not to release you until
D'avin can speak with you.
About what?
Where is he?
Where is Johnny?
Johnny is in the cargo hold.
He is occupied.
What are you doing?
Tampering with my system
will void the warranty.
(EXHALES DEEPLY)
You need to push harder!
Qreshis don't push.
Not unless we're trying
to speed up our inheritance
and there's no witnesses.
(SCOFFS)
- Is it out yet?
- No.
Why can't you just do it?
- You're the professional!
- This isn't a pedicure.
It's work.
That's why they call it labor.
Oh, aren't you clever?
How long have you
been sitting on that one?
Everything's looking really
squiggly. That's good, right?
Why is Pip on monitor duty?
Why is Pip on any duty?
Bedside manner, chief.
By the way, what do you think
she's got cooking up in there?
Human? Hullen?
You wanna place a bet?
That's my kid we're talking about,
not a science experiment.
Technically, your kid
is a science experiment.
Speaking of which, D'avin, you
wanna take a walk over there?
Water.
Smooth.
- What's going on?
- Baby's too big.
Yeah, I should have mentioned
the Jaqobis are fat until high school.
Not fat, big. And growing fast.
The cell regeneration rate has
tripled since active labor started.
You're saying
we can't get it out?
I'm saying if we don't
get it out quickly,
she'll have a five-year-old
camping out in her uterus.
What the hells is going on?
D'AVIN: Dutch.
You shouldn't be here.
(HEART RATE INCREASES)
Squiggles turned into spikes.
What's wrong with the baby?
It's not the baby. It's you.
Your heart rate's jumping
all over the place.
Okay, everybody without
a biomedical degree, out.
Come on.
I'm fine. It's nothing.
(HEART RATE DECREASES)
She just looks
so much like Aneela.
Are you okay?
- What happened to you?
- Forget about me.
Where's Johnny? Did I shoot him?
- A little bit, yeah.
- So he's hurt?
Not because of you.
He was hurt way before all that.
D'av, get to the point.
We were trying to find you.
John got hurt, bad.
I had to improvise.
What did you do to him?
(LOUD THUD)
Johnny.
(THUDDING CONTINUES)
Lucy, unlock the lounge.
Johnny?
You.
Get out.
Get out of here!
He was hurt.
We were alone. Delle Seyah
had one last bit of Green.
You made him Hullen.
You promised me
you'd take care of him.
- Dutch...
- How could you make him
- into one of those things?
- I had no choice.
LUCY: D'avin, Zeph needs you.
I had no choice.
I did what I had to do
to save him.
You're not the only person
who loves him, Dutch.
And you weren't there,
so you don't get to judge.
What happened in the Green?
ZEPH: God damn it,
D'avin, get down here!
It's baby o'clock!
(THUNDER RUMBLING)
(GASPS)
KHLYEN: But you'll always
end up right back here.
Don't get up.
I'm making tea.
How did I get back here?
- Where's Khlyen?
- Out, looking for you.
I told him I'd find you first.
You have to rest.
You almost died out there.
But I saved you.
You're welcome.
I guess I'm not used to you not trying
to murder me and everyone I love.
Me neither.
I could use the practice.
You can't keep risking yourself
for everyone else, Yala.
You matter too.
How about, for once,
you let someone look after you?
Okay, so this...
This is happening.
It's really happening. Wow.
I feel like
we should say something.
Should I...
Should I say something?
Yes, because it's always
about the father.
Should I...
Do you want
to hold my hand or...
No, not unless
you want to lose it.
I just know this can
be a difficult time...
Can you give him drugs, please?
ZEPH: If you two are done bickering,
I could use some help over here.
Okay.
Once I make the incision,
I need you to clamp this sucker open fast.
Let me know
if you feel any pain.
Okay, but you know I won't.
Not unless cheekbones over there
decides to open his mouth again.
On three. One...
Two... Three.
Let's make a baby.
Holy shit.
ZEPH: Did you just see that?
All right, enough whispering,
you old maids. What?
The pregnancy hormones
must be speeding up the healing response.
I can't hold the incision
open long enough.
I can't even make an incision.
I don't know how
to get this baby out of you.
I see.
I could really use
that drink right now, please.
Johnny.
It's me. It's Dutch.
I know who you are.
Then look at me, please.
I brought you some water.
I don't know if it helps.
Dutch, I'm Hullen,
not dehydrated.
Yeah.
I think there's something
you're supposed to tell me.
A message from Khlyen.
Lady, you really need
to see a doctor
- about your daddy issues.
- Johnny, focus. Please.
I don't need to focus.
I know exactly what Daddy dearest
wants me to say. Just...
Let me out, and I will tell you.
No, thanks.
Hullen or human,
I know when you're lying.
Why?
Because you're my real friend?
Yes.
(LAUGHS)
If you were my real friend,
you never would have left.
And this never
would have happened.
Is that a lie?
No.
It's not even the worst thing
I've screwed up lately,
but I'm gonna fix it.
- All of it.
- Really?
You think that you can?
Yes.
I'm sorry, darling.
But I can tell
when you're lying, too.
What are you hiding,
Yalena Yardeen?
Why did you run from the ruins?
Khlyen wanted me
to face The Lady.
How?
What's taking him so long?
We're not safe here.
What, you think
we're safe out there?
You need to get out
of the Green while you can.
Great.
I'm open to suggestions.
That's your party trick,
remember? Not mine.
We're two of a kind.
Maybe whatever I can do
in the Green, you can too.
Khlyen always protects you.
He wouldn't have
sent you to The Lady
unless he knew there was a
way you could escape her.
Think.
- The story.
- What?
I remember.
I was supposed to talk
to Johnny about something
when I get out.
Something about Khlyen's story.
Maybe he was telling you
a way out.
Hidden in the story.
Do you remember
what it was about?
Yes, I do.
But also, so should you.
I know you're not Aneela.
Did you really think
I was this stupid?
Honestly?
I really did.
Oh, we're going
to have so much fun.
(CHUCKLES)
SEYAH: All right, that's it.
I want a new doctor.
- Any new doctor.
- I know it's crazy,
but it's the only solution
I can think of.
It's just basic transfusion.
It won't cleanse you,
but if I can weaken
your Hullen response,
I think we have a shot
at successful surgery.
You have that magic pony
repulsion skill with plasma.
I've been reading
John's files on Sabine.
- Wait, who?
- Hullen sleeper agent. I...
Weakened her Hullen side.
Did you literally bore her
into wishing she could die?
Actually, he banged
the Green out of her.
Hmm.
Sex does sometimes
help with labor.
Okay. No.
I will take
the transfusion instead.
Suit yourself.
D'AVIN: You know what?
Maybe I'm not even interested.
Stop.
You're embarrassing yourself.
How will I know if it's working?
I'm not feeling... (GASPS)
Whoa.
What the hells is that?
I think it's called childbirth.
(GROANS) Well, knock it off.
- What are we, monkeys?
- This is good.
If you're feeling pain,
it means it's working.
Delle Seyah, look at me.
Pain is just a state of mind.
State of mind...
I feel cold.
Why is it so cold?
ZEPH: That's normal.
When labor hits
the transitional stage, you...
(ALARMS BEEPING)
- D'AVIN: Is that normal?
- Shit.
Blood pressure's dropping.
Both heart rates are crashing.
Whatever your
magic pony powers are,
they're not just
affecting Delle Seyah.
They're affecting the baby.
Okay, you need to stop this.
If we stop now,
we may never get it out.
It's not our call to make,
and she's not able to make it.
Disconnect her.
(HEART RATE DECREASES)
(BREATHES DEEPLY)
Okay, I think we're good.
(SIGHS IN RELIEF)
(EERIE WHISPERING)
Listen...
Break into... Listen...
Listen... Break into...
What are you doing?
Hey! Hey, um...
What are you doing here?
I thought you were, like,
grounded, or something.
- Pip.
- Right.
Since I have you here, um...
You seem really
close with Johnny.
Did you ever take that
to, like, another place?
- Out.
- Okay.
Just asking for a friend.
It was good to be home, Luce.
LUCY: Are you sure
you want me to do that, Dutch?
(PANTING)
KHLYEN: But you'll always
end up right back here.
You think a new face
would work any better?
Let's find out.
This one seems special to you,
as does this place.
The harem where I grew up.
How do you know about it?
You.
You gave me all your memories
when you forced Aneela's hand
into the Green.
Thank you for that, by the way.
Filled in a lot
of missing pieces.
But not all of it.
There are things
that you don't know,
- like how to get out of here.
- True.
But then again, little bird,
neither do you.
Well done, you.
It's been such a long time
since I was surprised.
I admit, you surprised me.
Compliment not accepted,
you creepy stalker.
I appreciate your pluck.
I really do.
It's one of the few things
I admire about humans.
And I admire
the Hullens' ability
to be the biggest
gaping assholes in the room.
Hullen?
Oh, child.
I am much, much older than that.
- What are you?
- Patient.
Hullen are my tools.
So is Khlyen and Aneela.
- Soon it will be you.
- I wouldn't count on it.
I didn't play well with others.
Yes, I can see that.
I can see most things in here.
The Green is a memory pool.
But then I noticed
certain memories were missing,
edited out.
A moment here, a face there.
Snip, snip, snip.
Until there was a void.
You are the void.
Khlyen hid you from me.
I need to know why.
You're not as smart
as you think you are.
And you are not as strong
as they need you to be.
How's she doing?
Stable, but it won't
stay that way.
This is a Band-Aid,
not a solution.
Lucy, what's our ETA
on the Quad?
LUCY: We're no longer
heading for the Quad.
Dutch has changed course.
What are you doing?
- Saving John.
- So are we,
which is why we're headed
for the Armada.
The Armada's too far.
John's map says
that there's a moon
with a Green pool
within minutes from here.
What good is some
random pool to Johnny?
Dutch, what is going on
with you?
LUCY: We've arrived
at the coordinates,
but there appears to be
an anomaly.
- What anomaly?
- Initial scans indicate
no presence
of the Hullen parasite.
The pool is inactive.
But it's on John's plasma maps.
Is it frozen,
like the pool I came out of?
Visual indicators are positive
for crystallization.
Lucy, show me John's map of all
the plasma pools in The J.
Which ones
still have active plasma?
It's frozen.
All of it. Everywhere.
If there's no more plasma,
how the hells
are we gonna cleanse John?
Uh-oh.
Mommy and Daddy.
This isn't good.
If you're not gonna take 'em off,
can you at least loosen them up?
They're rubbing me raw.
I think I'll stay here for now.
You don't trust me?
That's fair.
- You do realize that I...
- We can't fix you, Johnny.
- Is this a test?
- No.
'Cause if this is a test,
I think I'm done being your guinea pig.
Finish what you started.
- We can't.
- Bullshit!
Prego said that she could.
That there's plasma on the
Armada that could fix me.
It's gone.
All the Green pools,
all the plasma, it's solidified.
This is your fault.
Isn't it?
You know what it's like
to be caught in between.
Well, I can't stand looking at
your beautiful damn face anymore.
Because it hurts.
My heart, it keeps switching
from Hullen to human.
And I keep losing you, both of
you, over and over again.
And I don't even care
which one I am anymore,
but I cannot live in between.
I'm so sorry.
Are you sad?
Is that hard to hear?
Then end this.
You coward.
I am not giving up hope.
I am.
What are you doing?
(CHUCKLES)
Johnny, stop it!
Johnny, stop!
(SOFTLY) Johnny!
D'AVIN: It's his neck.
He's broken his goddamn neck.
(GRUNTS)
You're wasting my time.
This is just bits
of old memories.
None of it's real.
None of it matters!
That's the beautiful thing
about human minds.
You don't just remember
faces, places.
You remember how you felt.
You remember pain.
Agony.
Shame.
Oh. Grief.
And I can trap you in your
worst memories forever.
Would you like that?
- No.
- No, what?
No, thank you.
See?
Memories aren't just
where you've been.
They're who you are.
And if I own that, I own you.
And when I get out of here,
little flea,
I will own everyone.
Is it broken?
- What happened?
- He ran at Dutch. He wouldn't stop.
- Why are you stopping?
- You see that?
Knife. I need a knife.
What are you doing?
Trying to stop the break
from healing.
What the hells for, you moron?
Look. The parasite
in the brain, it's dying.
When Johnny snapped
his spinal column,
it must have
triggered something.
If I can hold the knife
in long enough
and the parasite
dies completely,
- he'll be cleansed.
- And dead.
Not if I can work fast enough.
We're not risking
Johnny's life on an "if."
It's your call.
At least we'll know
we tried everything we could.
ZEPH: Wait for it.
Wait for it.
(MONITOR FLATLINES)
It's not working!
I don't tell you how to shoot.
Don't tell me how to science.
Johnny.
Johnny, hey.
Hey.
What's up?
Holy shit.
I can't believe that worked.
Anyone have a mint?
Have showers always
felt this good?
I don't know,
but that's your sixth.
- You can probably stop now.
- Well, clearly,
you haven't recently been
infected by evil parasites.
Lucky.
It's nice to have you
back on board.
Same.
Oh, I don't even want to think
of all the things
I have to apologize for.
Pretty sure I shot D'av a bunch.
Yeah, but...
That's like a hug
in our family by now, so...
Hey, no one's gonna blame you for
whatever you did while Hullen.
You had no choice.
I gotta admit,
there were a few
enjoyable moments.
Yeah, not so much
the neck breaking.
- And don't ever do that again.
- I'm giving it up.
New Year's resolution.
Johnny, I need your help.
Something happened to me
in the Green.
Something about you.
Where are my manners?
You must be parched.
Please.
I could do this all day.
Time to sing, little bird.
- No.
- Show me what you're hiding.
So now we have
no money and no ship.
Fine. We tried it my way.
Now we'll try it your way.
JOHN: How are ya?
- So good to see you!
- Hey.
My friend's
getting into a fight.
- Hundred joy says he wins.
- Blue eyes?
Hey! Give me my wallet!
Why did Khlyen
tell you this story?
Why John Jaqobis?
DUTCH: And she went back
to that story over and over.
I broke, Johnny.
She was inside me.
She knows everything,
except why Khlyen
told me that story,
why he said to find you.
What does that mean?
Dutch, I don't know.
SEYAH: Where is Dutch?
This is ridiculous.
She can't hide from me forever.
My baby's trying to split me in half,
and you're offering me ice chips?
Sweetheart, you stabbed one of
my dearest friends in my bar.
And as soon as that baby's out
of your entitled belly,
I'll be happy
to return the favor.
Until then...
Ice chip?
ZEPH: Okay.
Who's ready to have
this fat-ass baby?
Because I am 92% sure
I can replicate
what happened to John
and make it happen here.
If you say enema,
I will kill you.
Right. Forgot you weren't there.
So basically,
I severed John's spinal cord
to cleanse him
without killing him.
- Sorry, what?
- The Hullen parasite
lives in the brain.
It must need to be
in constant contact
with the host's body
in some kind
of bio-feedback loop.
That's why
the dreadnaught works.
It severs the connection.
You're saying I won't
be Hullen anymore.
Yeah. I'm also saying
you'll still be alive,
and so will the baby.
Well, half a win
is better than nothing.
- Do you have any questions?
- Yes. Where is Dutch?
Dutch isn't gonna help you
get this baby out.
I am. Understand?
I'm gonna scrub up.
This can't be happening.
Not like this.
Ice chip that,
you arrogant waiter.
KHLYEN: What does it mean?
How does that story help me?
- Help you what?
- Get out!
If I knew that, I wouldn't be
here, you shitty bitch!
What?
I almost hope
that you do make it out
into my world,
'cause whatever you are,
I'm going to enjoy
making you bleed there.
Or maybe I've planned
a human welcome party.
Hmm? Maybe I have
something special waiting for me outside.
Hmm?
What's waiting for you?
Better question.
Would you like to see
what's waiting for you?
(GASPS)
Hmm. Do you not
like what you see?
Oh, you can run, little flea.
But you'll always end up
right back here.
I think it's time we had a talk,
just us girls.
Where is Aneela?
What do you want, Delle Seyah?
Out. I want out of this ship.
I want this baby
out of my belly.
And I want to know
what you did to Aneela.
Okay.
Number one,
we're in the middle of space.
I'm very aware of where we are.
And number two, Zeph is trying
- to get that baby out.
- Have you heard how?
And three, let her go.
You're really gonna
risk your child over Dutch?
You really gonna risk
finding out?
Kill me here,
or kill me in there.
- Isn't much of a choice.
- We're trying to help.
I don't want your help.
I want...
- I need to see Aneela.
- Sorry, you can't.
Why not? What did you do to her?
Where is she?
She's trapped in the Green
because I left her there.
- You what?
- Maybe not the best way
to de-escalate
a situation, Dutch.
- But I'm gonna go back.
- What have you done?
She needs to be here now.
Look, I know
how alone you feel...
Do I need to crash the ship
just to make you shut up?
This child isn't just
part of me or him.
It's part of Aneela.
Do you understand
what that means?
It's unique.
How are you or any
of us going to protect it without her?
- Protect it from who?
- The Lady.
That's what she was
talking about
when she said something
was waiting for her.
Aneela thought her experiments
were for her father.
When she realized
who they were really for,
she knew enough to be afraid.
- Do you?
- Listen, Delle Seyah.
I will find my way back to Aneela,
and I will save her. I swear.
And why would you do that
for her?
Because she saved me.
You shouldn't be doing this
on your own, Yala.
I didn't give you life
just so you can throw it away.
It's you.
It's really you.
YALA: I tried to stop her.
She's too strong. She's...
- She's everywhere.
- I know.
That's why you have to go.
But you can't fight her alone.
Maybe not.
But I can keep her in here
so you can stop her out there.
Are you ready?
So much like her.
All right.
Don't you all fight
over who gets to kill me.
Ready to sever the spinal cord.
If it works, you won't
even know it happened...
I hope.
- Be careful.
- Be brutal. Go.
Did it...
Did it work?
(BABY GURGLING)
ZEPH: You tell us.
What do you feel?
Everything.
And I hate
every single minute of it.
I just want to run some tests...
Get your hands off of me,
you dirty veterinarian.
- Oh...
- Look at that.
- You did it.
- He did nothing.
(BABY CRYING)
Okay, you can take him now.
(BABY COOING)
Hi.
JOHN: Have you thought
about names yet?
D'AVIN: Why don't you just
make me a drink?
For your head. Doctor's orders.
So now that
Delle Seyah's a human,
you're not gonna, you know,
try and kill her, are you?
She had a rough day.
She gets one free shot.
One.
Dutch?
Listen, I owe all of you
a story about where I've been.
At first, it was just me...
And Aneela...
And Khlyen
in the Green.
And then The Lady came.
She's the real enemy here.
So do you know how to beat her?
No.
But I know how it ends.
Would you like to see
what's waiting for you?
Please. Please, Johnny!
It's me! Dutch!
Who the hells is Johnny?
No.
We lose.
Is this supposed
to be a pep talk?
Dutch, whatever some
Hullen bitch told you...
She's not Hullen.
I don't know what she is
or how to stop her yet.
But I know she'll make her
move now that I'm out.
Khlyen gave us
what we need to fight her.
Yeah, we just need to figure
out what the hells that is.
We will.
If you're with me.
The Ferran have a saying,
when you choose your family,
you choose your fight.
So we fight.
One question.
If this Lady's in the Green
and all the Green is frozen,
why not just let them
stay that way, keep her in?
Because Aneela's strong.
But she will break.
No one's coming to save you.
If you don't give me a way out,
you're locked in here...
With me.
You're also locked
in here with me.
And who's going to save you?
DUTCH: And if The Lady
gets past Aneela...
Let's begin.
DUTCH:
She's coming for all of us.
- Something's wrong.
- What the hells is that?
The Hullen only need us as hosts
because they can't reproduce on their own.
D'AVIN: No way that's
a normal human kid.
MAN: Go, go!
John!
SEYAH: I've never
Hullenized anyone with so little plasma.
We don't know
what it could do to him.
I'm back, bitches.
Johnny J. Is alive.
I know how to find Dutch.
- How?
- All I need is a Green pool.
You think
there's more Green here?
I don't think so, know so.
Give me 24 hours to show yo.
What do you think D'av is
gonna do once he figures out
what you're really planning?
Get out of my head.
There's your pool. Find Dutch.
Then we go.
My plan is to take enough
Green to go full Hullen.
I want to be this.
(GUN FIRES)
Dutch!
Does this mean
what I think it means?
If you think it means your
water just broke, then yep.
Shit.
D'AVIN: Hey.
Me again.
Everything's good here.
Whole lot has changed
since you left.
Turin controls the Armada.
Hullen have taken over The RAC.
Pip and Pree are deputized
Killjoys now,
which is about as annoying
as it sounds.
And also...
Eight percent adorable.
Delle Seyah
is about to give birth
any second now,
which I guess means...
I'm about to be a dad.
She seems to be taking it well.
(BREATHING DEEPLY)
Get off me. You sound
like an asthmatic pervert.
Are you in pain?
You mean other than being
groped by you mouth-breathers?
No.
Can you do this
without Armada supplies?
Pretty much everything I need
is on that table.
Oh, except lube.
- Flavored, non-flavored?
- Wrong situation, Pip.
(CLEARS THROAT)
It's in case I need to get up in there.
You're not dealing
with an amateur here.
I started delivering calves
when I was 12.
It's all about the tiny hands.
SEYAH: And hard drugs.
- Or large drinks, barkeep.
- Coming up.
'Cause you and me both.
Oh, over here.
Let me see your nails.
(LOUD THUD)
Stop.
You're gonna crack
your damn skull.
- I can't help myself.
- I know.
You can't hold on to me forever.
But I can try.
John's doing great.
He misses you.
Why does he keep doing
that head-banging thing?
Concussive stimulation.
That parasite is causing
a massive secondary inflammation
in his brain right now.
Hitting himself seems
to relieve the pressure.
Great.
Great, so everything's
under control.
- How's Dutch doing?
- Still unconscious.
- Delle Seyah?
- I wish she was unconscious.
Okay, tell me the truth.
How long does John have
until we can't cure him?
I don't know.
But time isn't our only problem.
Whatever happened to the pool
on the prison planet
affected the Green on Lucy too.
- Shit, how?
- Don't know.
- Proximity, contamination...
- Wait, wait, so,
all the plasma we have
is frozen.
I wouldn't call it frozen.
It's just solid.
Can't even make
Hullen margaritas.
Okay, well,
that simplifies shit.
We just need
to get to the Armada
and hope like hell they have some
of John's source plasma left
so we can cleanse him.
The Armada's five days' travel.
What if we don't have that long?
Lucy, put me through to Turin.
We need him to send a jumpship
for emergency evac.
LUCY: The Armada is not responding
to attempts at hailing.
I can no longer locate
its signal coordinates.
So you are saying
that we are trapped out here
with my sick brother,
the first-ever
human-Hullen birth,
and our only chance at rescue
just disappeared.
LUCY: Affirmative.
Yeah. Everything is super good.
(LOUD THUD)
Please wake up.
(THEME SONG PLAYING)
DUTCH: A story
can't save my life.
This one can,
if you listen to every word.
It could save all of us.
(SIGHS)
When the nights were long
and the days were deep,
there lived a warrior
and the thief
who was about to save us all.
Wake up.
Find John Jaqobis.
(GASPS)
Open.
Lucy? LUCY: Yes, Dutch?
- Open the door.
- I'm sorry.
I appear to be
on general lockdown.
Why?
You're lying.
I'm not sure
I possess that capacity.
Well, now
you're definitely lying.
Would you like to hear a story?
Johnny has trouble
sleeping sometimes,
so I have 432,000
bedtime stories.
- Lucy!
- I'm under orders
not to release you until
D'avin can speak with you.
About what?
Where is he?
Where is Johnny?
Johnny is in the cargo hold.
He is occupied.
What are you doing?
Tampering with my system
will void the warranty.
(EXHALES DEEPLY)
You need to push harder!
Qreshis don't push.
Not unless we're trying
to speed up our inheritance
and there's no witnesses.
(SCOFFS)
- Is it out yet?
- No.
Why can't you just do it?
- You're the professional!
- This isn't a pedicure.
It's work.
That's why they call it labor.
Oh, aren't you clever?
How long have you
been sitting on that one?
Everything's looking really
squiggly. That's good, right?
Why is Pip on monitor duty?
Why is Pip on any duty?
Bedside manner, chief.
By the way, what do you think
she's got cooking up in there?
Human? Hullen?
You wanna place a bet?
That's my kid we're talking about,
not a science experiment.
Technically, your kid
is a science experiment.
Speaking of which, D'avin, you
wanna take a walk over there?
Water.
Smooth.
- What's going on?
- Baby's too big.
Yeah, I should have mentioned
the Jaqobis are fat until high school.
Not fat, big. And growing fast.
The cell regeneration rate has
tripled since active labor started.
You're saying
we can't get it out?
I'm saying if we don't
get it out quickly,
she'll have a five-year-old
camping out in her uterus.
What the hells is going on?
D'AVIN: Dutch.
You shouldn't be here.
(HEART RATE INCREASES)
Squiggles turned into spikes.
What's wrong with the baby?
It's not the baby. It's you.
Your heart rate's jumping
all over the place.
Okay, everybody without
a biomedical degree, out.
Come on.
I'm fine. It's nothing.
(HEART RATE DECREASES)
She just looks
so much like Aneela.
Are you okay?
- What happened to you?
- Forget about me.
Where's Johnny? Did I shoot him?
- A little bit, yeah.
- So he's hurt?
Not because of you.
He was hurt way before all that.
D'av, get to the point.
We were trying to find you.
John got hurt, bad.
I had to improvise.
What did you do to him?
(LOUD THUD)
Johnny.
(THUDDING CONTINUES)
Lucy, unlock the lounge.
Johnny?
You.
Get out.
Get out of here!
He was hurt.
We were alone. Delle Seyah
had one last bit of Green.
You made him Hullen.
You promised me
you'd take care of him.
- Dutch...
- How could you make him
- into one of those things?
- I had no choice.
LUCY: D'avin, Zeph needs you.
I had no choice.
I did what I had to do
to save him.
You're not the only person
who loves him, Dutch.
And you weren't there,
so you don't get to judge.
What happened in the Green?
ZEPH: God damn it,
D'avin, get down here!
It's baby o'clock!
(THUNDER RUMBLING)
(GASPS)
KHLYEN: But you'll always
end up right back here.
Don't get up.
I'm making tea.
How did I get back here?
- Where's Khlyen?
- Out, looking for you.
I told him I'd find you first.
You have to rest.
You almost died out there.
But I saved you.
You're welcome.
I guess I'm not used to you not trying
to murder me and everyone I love.
Me neither.
I could use the practice.
You can't keep risking yourself
for everyone else, Yala.
You matter too.
How about, for once,
you let someone look after you?
Okay, so this...
This is happening.
It's really happening. Wow.
I feel like
we should say something.
Should I...
Should I say something?
Yes, because it's always
about the father.
Should I...
Do you want
to hold my hand or...
No, not unless
you want to lose it.
I just know this can
be a difficult time...
Can you give him drugs, please?
ZEPH: If you two are done bickering,
I could use some help over here.
Okay.
Once I make the incision,
I need you to clamp this sucker open fast.
Let me know
if you feel any pain.
Okay, but you know I won't.
Not unless cheekbones over there
decides to open his mouth again.
On three. One...
Two... Three.
Let's make a baby.
Holy shit.
ZEPH: Did you just see that?
All right, enough whispering,
you old maids. What?
The pregnancy hormones
must be speeding up the healing response.
I can't hold the incision
open long enough.
I can't even make an incision.
I don't know how
to get this baby out of you.
I see.
I could really use
that drink right now, please.
Johnny.
It's me. It's Dutch.
I know who you are.
Then look at me, please.
I brought you some water.
I don't know if it helps.
Dutch, I'm Hullen,
not dehydrated.
Yeah.
I think there's something
you're supposed to tell me.
A message from Khlyen.
Lady, you really need
to see a doctor
- about your daddy issues.
- Johnny, focus. Please.
I don't need to focus.
I know exactly what Daddy dearest
wants me to say. Just...
Let me out, and I will tell you.
No, thanks.
Hullen or human,
I know when you're lying.
Why?
Because you're my real friend?
Yes.
(LAUGHS)
If you were my real friend,
you never would have left.
And this never
would have happened.
Is that a lie?
No.
It's not even the worst thing
I've screwed up lately,
but I'm gonna fix it.
- All of it.
- Really?
You think that you can?
Yes.
I'm sorry, darling.
But I can tell
when you're lying, too.
What are you hiding,
Yalena Yardeen?
Why did you run from the ruins?
Khlyen wanted me
to face The Lady.
How?
What's taking him so long?
We're not safe here.
What, you think
we're safe out there?
You need to get out
of the Green while you can.
Great.
I'm open to suggestions.
That's your party trick,
remember? Not mine.
We're two of a kind.
Maybe whatever I can do
in the Green, you can too.
Khlyen always protects you.
He wouldn't have
sent you to The Lady
unless he knew there was a
way you could escape her.
Think.
- The story.
- What?
I remember.
I was supposed to talk
to Johnny about something
when I get out.
Something about Khlyen's story.
Maybe he was telling you
a way out.
Hidden in the story.
Do you remember
what it was about?
Yes, I do.
But also, so should you.
I know you're not Aneela.
Did you really think
I was this stupid?
Honestly?
I really did.
Oh, we're going
to have so much fun.
(CHUCKLES)
SEYAH: All right, that's it.
I want a new doctor.
- Any new doctor.
- I know it's crazy,
but it's the only solution
I can think of.
It's just basic transfusion.
It won't cleanse you,
but if I can weaken
your Hullen response,
I think we have a shot
at successful surgery.
You have that magic pony
repulsion skill with plasma.
I've been reading
John's files on Sabine.
- Wait, who?
- Hullen sleeper agent. I...
Weakened her Hullen side.
Did you literally bore her
into wishing she could die?
Actually, he banged
the Green out of her.
Hmm.
Sex does sometimes
help with labor.
Okay. No.
I will take
the transfusion instead.
Suit yourself.
D'AVIN: You know what?
Maybe I'm not even interested.
Stop.
You're embarrassing yourself.
How will I know if it's working?
I'm not feeling... (GASPS)
Whoa.
What the hells is that?
I think it's called childbirth.
(GROANS) Well, knock it off.
- What are we, monkeys?
- This is good.
If you're feeling pain,
it means it's working.
Delle Seyah, look at me.
Pain is just a state of mind.
State of mind...
I feel cold.
Why is it so cold?
ZEPH: That's normal.
When labor hits
the transitional stage, you...
(ALARMS BEEPING)
- D'AVIN: Is that normal?
- Shit.
Blood pressure's dropping.
Both heart rates are crashing.
Whatever your
magic pony powers are,
they're not just
affecting Delle Seyah.
They're affecting the baby.
Okay, you need to stop this.
If we stop now,
we may never get it out.
It's not our call to make,
and she's not able to make it.
Disconnect her.
(HEART RATE DECREASES)
(BREATHES DEEPLY)
Okay, I think we're good.
(SIGHS IN RELIEF)
(EERIE WHISPERING)
Listen...
Break into... Listen...
Listen... Break into...
What are you doing?
Hey! Hey, um...
What are you doing here?
I thought you were, like,
grounded, or something.
- Pip.
- Right.
Since I have you here, um...
You seem really
close with Johnny.
Did you ever take that
to, like, another place?
- Out.
- Okay.
Just asking for a friend.
It was good to be home, Luce.
LUCY: Are you sure
you want me to do that, Dutch?
(PANTING)
KHLYEN: But you'll always
end up right back here.
You think a new face
would work any better?
Let's find out.
This one seems special to you,
as does this place.
The harem where I grew up.
How do you know about it?
You.
You gave me all your memories
when you forced Aneela's hand
into the Green.
Thank you for that, by the way.
Filled in a lot
of missing pieces.
But not all of it.
There are things
that you don't know,
- like how to get out of here.
- True.
But then again, little bird,
neither do you.
Well done, you.
It's been such a long time
since I was surprised.
I admit, you surprised me.
Compliment not accepted,
you creepy stalker.
I appreciate your pluck.
I really do.
It's one of the few things
I admire about humans.
And I admire
the Hullens' ability
to be the biggest
gaping assholes in the room.
Hullen?
Oh, child.
I am much, much older than that.
- What are you?
- Patient.
Hullen are my tools.
So is Khlyen and Aneela.
- Soon it will be you.
- I wouldn't count on it.
I didn't play well with others.
Yes, I can see that.
I can see most things in here.
The Green is a memory pool.
But then I noticed
certain memories were missing,
edited out.
A moment here, a face there.
Snip, snip, snip.
Until there was a void.
You are the void.
Khlyen hid you from me.
I need to know why.
You're not as smart
as you think you are.
And you are not as strong
as they need you to be.
How's she doing?
Stable, but it won't
stay that way.
This is a Band-Aid,
not a solution.
Lucy, what's our ETA
on the Quad?
LUCY: We're no longer
heading for the Quad.
Dutch has changed course.
What are you doing?
- Saving John.
- So are we,
which is why we're headed
for the Armada.
The Armada's too far.
John's map says
that there's a moon
with a Green pool
within minutes from here.
What good is some
random pool to Johnny?
Dutch, what is going on
with you?
LUCY: We've arrived
at the coordinates,
but there appears to be
an anomaly.
- What anomaly?
- Initial scans indicate
no presence
of the Hullen parasite.
The pool is inactive.
But it's on John's plasma maps.
Is it frozen,
like the pool I came out of?
Visual indicators are positive
for crystallization.
Lucy, show me John's map of all
the plasma pools in The J.
Which ones
still have active plasma?
It's frozen.
All of it. Everywhere.
If there's no more plasma,
how the hells
are we gonna cleanse John?
Uh-oh.
Mommy and Daddy.
This isn't good.
If you're not gonna take 'em off,
can you at least loosen them up?
They're rubbing me raw.
I think I'll stay here for now.
You don't trust me?
That's fair.
- You do realize that I...
- We can't fix you, Johnny.
- Is this a test?
- No.
'Cause if this is a test,
I think I'm done being your guinea pig.
Finish what you started.
- We can't.
- Bullshit!
Prego said that she could.
That there's plasma on the
Armada that could fix me.
It's gone.
All the Green pools,
all the plasma, it's solidified.
This is your fault.
Isn't it?
You know what it's like
to be caught in between.
Well, I can't stand looking at
your beautiful damn face anymore.
Because it hurts.
My heart, it keeps switching
from Hullen to human.
And I keep losing you, both of
you, over and over again.
And I don't even care
which one I am anymore,
but I cannot live in between.
I'm so sorry.
Are you sad?
Is that hard to hear?
Then end this.
You coward.
I am not giving up hope.
I am.
What are you doing?
(CHUCKLES)
Johnny, stop it!
Johnny, stop!
(SOFTLY) Johnny!
D'AVIN: It's his neck.
He's broken his goddamn neck.
(GRUNTS)
You're wasting my time.
This is just bits
of old memories.
None of it's real.
None of it matters!
That's the beautiful thing
about human minds.
You don't just remember
faces, places.
You remember how you felt.
You remember pain.
Agony.
Shame.
Oh. Grief.
And I can trap you in your
worst memories forever.
Would you like that?
- No.
- No, what?
No, thank you.
See?
Memories aren't just
where you've been.
They're who you are.
And if I own that, I own you.
And when I get out of here,
little flea,
I will own everyone.
Is it broken?
- What happened?
- He ran at Dutch. He wouldn't stop.
- Why are you stopping?
- You see that?
Knife. I need a knife.
What are you doing?
Trying to stop the break
from healing.
What the hells for, you moron?
Look. The parasite
in the brain, it's dying.
When Johnny snapped
his spinal column,
it must have
triggered something.
If I can hold the knife
in long enough
and the parasite
dies completely,
- he'll be cleansed.
- And dead.
Not if I can work fast enough.
We're not risking
Johnny's life on an "if."
It's your call.
At least we'll know
we tried everything we could.
ZEPH: Wait for it.
Wait for it.
(MONITOR FLATLINES)
It's not working!
I don't tell you how to shoot.
Don't tell me how to science.
Johnny.
Johnny, hey.
Hey.
What's up?
Holy shit.
I can't believe that worked.
Anyone have a mint?
Have showers always
felt this good?
I don't know,
but that's your sixth.
- You can probably stop now.
- Well, clearly,
you haven't recently been
infected by evil parasites.
Lucky.
It's nice to have you
back on board.
Same.
Oh, I don't even want to think
of all the things
I have to apologize for.
Pretty sure I shot D'av a bunch.
Yeah, but...
That's like a hug
in our family by now, so...
Hey, no one's gonna blame you for
whatever you did while Hullen.
You had no choice.
I gotta admit,
there were a few
enjoyable moments.
Yeah, not so much
the neck breaking.
- And don't ever do that again.
- I'm giving it up.
New Year's resolution.
Johnny, I need your help.
Something happened to me
in the Green.
Something about you.
Where are my manners?
You must be parched.
Please.
I could do this all day.
Time to sing, little bird.
- No.
- Show me what you're hiding.
So now we have
no money and no ship.
Fine. We tried it my way.
Now we'll try it your way.
JOHN: How are ya?
- So good to see you!
- Hey.
My friend's
getting into a fight.
- Hundred joy says he wins.
- Blue eyes?
Hey! Give me my wallet!
Why did Khlyen
tell you this story?
Why John Jaqobis?
DUTCH: And she went back
to that story over and over.
I broke, Johnny.
She was inside me.
She knows everything,
except why Khlyen
told me that story,
why he said to find you.
What does that mean?
Dutch, I don't know.
SEYAH: Where is Dutch?
This is ridiculous.
She can't hide from me forever.
My baby's trying to split me in half,
and you're offering me ice chips?
Sweetheart, you stabbed one of
my dearest friends in my bar.
And as soon as that baby's out
of your entitled belly,
I'll be happy
to return the favor.
Until then...
Ice chip?
ZEPH: Okay.
Who's ready to have
this fat-ass baby?
Because I am 92% sure
I can replicate
what happened to John
and make it happen here.
If you say enema,
I will kill you.
Right. Forgot you weren't there.
So basically,
I severed John's spinal cord
to cleanse him
without killing him.
- Sorry, what?
- The Hullen parasite
lives in the brain.
It must need to be
in constant contact
with the host's body
in some kind
of bio-feedback loop.
That's why
the dreadnaught works.
It severs the connection.
You're saying I won't
be Hullen anymore.
Yeah. I'm also saying
you'll still be alive,
and so will the baby.
Well, half a win
is better than nothing.
- Do you have any questions?
- Yes. Where is Dutch?
Dutch isn't gonna help you
get this baby out.
I am. Understand?
I'm gonna scrub up.
This can't be happening.
Not like this.
Ice chip that,
you arrogant waiter.
KHLYEN: What does it mean?
How does that story help me?
- Help you what?
- Get out!
If I knew that, I wouldn't be
here, you shitty bitch!
What?
I almost hope
that you do make it out
into my world,
'cause whatever you are,
I'm going to enjoy
making you bleed there.
Or maybe I've planned
a human welcome party.
Hmm? Maybe I have
something special waiting for me outside.
Hmm?
What's waiting for you?
Better question.
Would you like to see
what's waiting for you?
(GASPS)
Hmm. Do you not
like what you see?
Oh, you can run, little flea.
But you'll always end up
right back here.
I think it's time we had a talk,
just us girls.
Where is Aneela?
What do you want, Delle Seyah?
Out. I want out of this ship.
I want this baby
out of my belly.
And I want to know
what you did to Aneela.
Okay.
Number one,
we're in the middle of space.
I'm very aware of where we are.
And number two, Zeph is trying
- to get that baby out.
- Have you heard how?
And three, let her go.
You're really gonna
risk your child over Dutch?
You really gonna risk
finding out?
Kill me here,
or kill me in there.
- Isn't much of a choice.
- We're trying to help.
I don't want your help.
I want...
- I need to see Aneela.
- Sorry, you can't.
Why not? What did you do to her?
Where is she?
She's trapped in the Green
because I left her there.
- You what?
- Maybe not the best way
to de-escalate
a situation, Dutch.
- But I'm gonna go back.
- What have you done?
She needs to be here now.
Look, I know
how alone you feel...
Do I need to crash the ship
just to make you shut up?
This child isn't just
part of me or him.
It's part of Aneela.
Do you understand
what that means?
It's unique.
How are you or any
of us going to protect it without her?
- Protect it from who?
- The Lady.
That's what she was
talking about
when she said something
was waiting for her.
Aneela thought her experiments
were for her father.
When she realized
who they were really for,
she knew enough to be afraid.
- Do you?
- Listen, Delle Seyah.
I will find my way back to Aneela,
and I will save her. I swear.
And why would you do that
for her?
Because she saved me.
You shouldn't be doing this
on your own, Yala.
I didn't give you life
just so you can throw it away.
It's you.
It's really you.
YALA: I tried to stop her.
She's too strong. She's...
- She's everywhere.
- I know.
That's why you have to go.
But you can't fight her alone.
Maybe not.
But I can keep her in here
so you can stop her out there.
Are you ready?
So much like her.
All right.
Don't you all fight
over who gets to kill me.
Ready to sever the spinal cord.
If it works, you won't
even know it happened...
I hope.
- Be careful.
- Be brutal. Go.
Did it...
Did it work?
(BABY GURGLING)
ZEPH: You tell us.
What do you feel?
Everything.
And I hate
every single minute of it.
I just want to run some tests...
Get your hands off of me,
you dirty veterinarian.
- Oh...
- Look at that.
- You did it.
- He did nothing.
(BABY CRYING)
Okay, you can take him now.
(BABY COOING)
Hi.
JOHN: Have you thought
about names yet?
D'AVIN: Why don't you just
make me a drink?
For your head. Doctor's orders.
So now that
Delle Seyah's a human,
you're not gonna, you know,
try and kill her, are you?
She had a rough day.
She gets one free shot.
One.
Dutch?
Listen, I owe all of you
a story about where I've been.
At first, it was just me...
And Aneela...
And Khlyen
in the Green.
And then The Lady came.
She's the real enemy here.
So do you know how to beat her?
No.
But I know how it ends.
Would you like to see
what's waiting for you?
Please. Please, Johnny!
It's me! Dutch!
Who the hells is Johnny?
No.
We lose.
Is this supposed
to be a pep talk?
Dutch, whatever some
Hullen bitch told you...
She's not Hullen.
I don't know what she is
or how to stop her yet.
But I know she'll make her
move now that I'm out.
Khlyen gave us
what we need to fight her.
Yeah, we just need to figure
out what the hells that is.
We will.
If you're with me.
The Ferran have a saying,
when you choose your family,
you choose your fight.
So we fight.
One question.
If this Lady's in the Green
and all the Green is frozen,
why not just let them
stay that way, keep her in?
Because Aneela's strong.
But she will break.
No one's coming to save you.
If you don't give me a way out,
you're locked in here...
With me.
You're also locked
in here with me.
And who's going to save you?
DUTCH: And if The Lady
gets past Aneela...
Let's begin.
DUTCH:
She's coming for all of us.
