NightMan (1997–1999): Season 2, Episode 14 - Scent of a Woman - full transcript
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
Oh!
You'’re good. Very good.
Let'’s see how you are
on sharp turns.
[BEEPING]
Night Man wins again.
[WHOOSHING]
Why don'’t you pick on
someone your own size?
[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]
[LAUGHING]
Night Man, zero.
Blood Hound, mm!
You didn'’t tell me
it was gonna get this close.
Maybe if you didn'’t sweat
so much in that suit,
it wouldn'’t be so easy
to find you.
Remember, it'’s a scent-guided
homing beacon.
Yeah. Well, remind me
to switch deodorants.
Just think of it,
I'’m converting
a multi-million dollar
weapons experiment
into a peaceful device
that can track anything
from lost kids to lost socks
within a five-mile radius.
This is gonna bring me back.
Just as soon as I can fix
the rest of the bugs.
Bugs?
You didn'’t tell me
it had bugs.
Ah, didn'’t want
to worry you.
Besides, you'’re still alive,
aren'’t you?
That'’s it. From now on,
get someone else.
[BEEPING]
Someone just broke
into my loft.
My designs are in there.
I'’m right behind you.
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
[GRUNTING]
No, wait.
Who are you?
What are you doing here?
Is that how you
greet a friend?
[GIGGLING]
RALEIGH: Zentare?
What are you doing here?
My companion and I
just happened to be
in the star system,
and thought we'’d look up
my old comrades-in-arms.
Wait a minute,
last time you were here,
you brought along
the Dracons.
What kind of trouble
did you bring this time?
You forget,
I'’m the one
who follows trouble.
Who'’s this?
Uh, Raleigh, Night Man,
this is Lar Vallize.
Hi, Lar.
Are you a tracker too?
I am not.
She is not from Arkadon.
She is from
the green planet
of Aliestra.
Well, Lar from Aliestra,
welcome to Earth.
Thank you.
I was wondering, Tauchi,
if we might spend
the night.
Our vessel does not return
until tomorrow, and...
Sure, you'’re welcome to.
It was nice to meet you.
Excuse me, I'’m running late.
Thank you.
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
Spanish too.
Your education system
has obviously quite evolved.
Not to mention our vastly
greater brain power.
[SCOFFS]
Same old Zentare.
[BOTH CHUCKLING]
Oh, I gotta get going.
Why don'’t you two
come downstairs?
We'’ve really got
a special show tonight.
Oh no, I don'’t think we...
That would be nice.
[KNOCK AT DOOR]
Yeah.
Hello.Hey!
Is this your office?
Yeah. Where'’s Lar?
Johnny'’s giving her
a tour before the show.
Oh good, good.
Look, I'’m sorry
I had to desert you,
but this form
has to be postmarked
by midnight.
Oh, I understand.
Some government report?
You really know a lot
about humans, don'’t you?
Our reading materials
are reasonably complete.
A question.
There are billions
of planets out there.
Why come back
to this one?
You mean, of all the
gin joints in the universe
why did I have
to walk into yours?
You know our classics too.
A kiss is just a kiss.
That'’s an odd practice
you have.
Pressing this portion
of the anatomy together.
It'’s meant to arouse
sexual feelings?
Not if it'’s your
Great Aunt Martha,
but generally speaking,
and why is that so odd?
I suppose you have
some sort of
an efficient little switch
somewhere, right?
Click, click.
Thank you very much.
Now let'’s go conquer
another solar system.
No.
Actually, our pleasure centers
are in the brain.
Just like yours.
We have ten linkages,
you might call them.
And you?
Well, there'’s
holding hands,
and there'’s kissing,
and there'’s some sort of,
general touching.
Did you say you have ten?
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
We call it
the road to rapture.
Of course, you might arrive
at the same end point as we do.
We should experiment.
Wh... You and me?Mm.
Uh... Uh...
Okay, but remember,
this is just
an experiment, right?
[EXPLOSION]
[ELECTRIC BUZZING]
Raleigh.
Oh.
[EXCLAIMING IN ANNOYANCE]
I thought we were...
We are!
Never mind!
[SIGHING]
She is attractive.
Do you mate with her?
Not anymore.
Maybe we should continue
our experiment.
Uh...
The show is starting.
We should go.

[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]
So, what'’d you think?
It was wonderful!
We don'’t have anything
like that on Aliestra.
Maybe I should go
on an intergalactic tour.
I could bring the whole band.Could you?
Yeah, what do
you think, Raleigh?
[LAUGHING]
Sure. Why not?
[CLEARING THROAT]
Hey, Johnny, Raleigh.
RALEIGH: Hey.Hey.
You remember her.
Inspector Zentare
from Interpol.
How could I forget?
JOHNNY: And this is Lar.
Nice to meet you.
JOHNNY: So...[FLY BUZZING]
What brings you
here, Lieutenant?
Uh, you asked if I could have
a drink with you tonight,
and I said yes,
so here I am.
I'’m here.
Uh, John, can I see you
for a sec over there?
Yeah. Excuse me.
Excuse us.
She likes him.
She is formidable.
Briony? No.
They tried it
once, but...
[FLY BUZZING]
RALEIGH: Right now,
Lar has got a better shot.
No, that'’s
an impossibility.
That Inspector Zentare
of Interpol?
Well, I ran the name.
There is no Inspector Zentare
of Interpol.
In fact, Interpol doesn'’t have
any inspectors or detectives
or agents.
Well, you learn
something everyday.
She may be
dangerous, John.
Now you'’re
getting paranoid.
Paranoid?
Paranoid.
Okay, fine, well,
don'’t say I didn't warn you.
[SIGHING]
Uh... See?
He follows her.
What makes you think
your know more
about human sexuality
than I do?
Well, some things
are universal.
Not to mention
I am more evolved
than your little brain.
That'’s twice.
Hey, wait up.
Paranoid? You know,
that is so typical of you.
I see you sitting there
with this woman,
God only knows who she is,
it could be
a dangerous situation.
[MAN YELLING]
Keep it down.
Some of us
are trying to sleep.
Whatever. Listen.
JOHNNY:
Zentare does have
a history.
I can'’t get into it right now,
but she is not dangerous.
Neither am I.
Yeah, nobody listens...
[CLATTERING]
[ELECTRIC BUZZING]
Oh, you know,
I was here first.
You go find somewhere else
to sleep, buddy.
[GROWLING]
What'’s mine is yours,
eh, buddy?
[MAN SCREAMING]
Do you smell that?
Sweet. Like spiced rum.
[DIALING]
Officer needs assistance.
Northside alley.
Bayonne River Front.
Get the coroner out here.
CORONER:
Neck is definitely broken.
In fact,
it has been crushed.
The assailant did this
with one hand,
going by the indentations
on the neckline.
What about the face?
It'’s definitely been removed.
By what means,
I couldn'’t say.
Whoever did this
used an instrument,
better than anything
we'’ve got.
How could anyone
cut away an entire face?
The question is why.
You don'’t wanna
see this.Yes, I do.
[GASPS]
Jeez, uh...
Step back, please.
Behind the tape.
JOHNNY: You'’ve seen this
before, haven'’t you?
I don'’t know what
you'’re talking about.
Whoever killed that man
wasn'’t human, was it?
Again? You'’ve got
to be kidding me.
Please, we appreciate
your hospitality,
but we must be
moving on now.
Lar, you know
what it was.
If we stay here,
you will all be
in danger.
This thing
is after you,
isn'’t it?
If it found you
on a tiny blue planet,
on some other galaxy,
it will find you here.
I have been charged
with protecting Lar.
I'’ve taken a sacred vow
to do so.
You should not
get involved.
I don'’t know
what this is about.
But I can'’t walk away
from it now.
Right.
What choice
do we have?
Very well.
We cannot stay
around here.
We must go where
there'’s a large group
of people.
Safety in numbers.
There'’s a place
around the corner.
We can talk there.
[DANCE MUSIC PLAYING]
Phew.
This is very
different music,
and most expressive
body language.
It'’s called dancing.
Dancing?
[SCOFFS]
Whoa, Johnny Domino,
I presume.
Hey, Lester, how goes
the Revolution, man?
Oh, man, I'’m the man
where all the fun is.
I heard that.
Hey! What'’s up, Raleigh?
What'’s going on, Lester?You, baby!
[BOTH LAUGHING]
What can I get for you?Uh...
Let me have two surprises,
and two waters.
Okay.All right.
We protrude
like aching digits.
Uh, you stick out
like sore thumbs?
That is it.
You wanted safety
in numbers.
This is safety in numbers.
Why don'’t you tell me
who is after you?
Very well.
In my star system,
there are two
inhabited planets.
My world of Aliestra,
and the neighboring world
of Thwarta.
LAR: These two planets
were once united
in common heritage
and tradition.
But an argument
that no one even remembers
has embroiled the two
in a war
that has lasted
over a millennium.
I am the Kadiva
of my world.
ZENTARE:
It is like a princess.
And the future heir
to Aliestra.
I am to be married
to the High...
Emperor of Thwarta,
in hopes that the union
may finally bring peace
to our two
war-ravaged worlds.
And someone doesn'’t want
that peace to happen.
The war lords.
The war lords
of both worlds
are very powerful.
They have hired assassins
from all over the galaxy
to search for me.
Well, looks like
one of them found you.
And he will not stop
until she is dead.
And with no heir,
and no union,
the war lords will finally
overthrow both families.
Our ship does not return
until tomorrow night.
Thanks, Lester.
Until then,
none of us are safe.
No, no, no, man.
You had the ball lined up.
You could lose
all your money already.
[SQUISHING]
[GASPING]
Take it easy,
it'’s just a roach.
Insects are holy
where she is from.
[SNIFFING]
[GROWLING]
[GRUNTING]
Zentare!
[GRUNTING]
Revolution lives!
[GROANING]
[WOMAN SCREAMING]
Run!
[YELLING]
[GRUNTING]
[PANTING]You okay?
Yeah.
I have to stop him
before he gets Lar.
Take care of her.
Right.
Well...
Night Man meets Weed Man.
[EXPLOSION]
Raleigh.
The shooter,
where did he go?
Out that way.
Hang on.
Paramedics on their way.
Thanks.
What are you doing,
jumping in front
of a blast like that?
For somebody that'’s
supposed to be so smart,
that was a pretty
stupid move.
You must not let them
take me away.
If they find out
I'’m not a human...
You have a chest wound,
you need to be treated.
There is another way.
Go on after him.
Go, go!
Easy, easy.
You wanna tell me
what the hell
that thing was?
Wanna point that thing
somewhere else?
Mmm, I don'’t think so.
See, I finally got you
where I want you.
Lieutenant, remember
I'’ve saved your butt
a couple of times.
But your vigilante days
are over.
It'’s time to take you in.
I don'’t think so, Lieutenant.
Not today.
[GUN FIRING]
[SIRENS WAILING]
[BEEPING]
Huh? She'’s gone!
You guys look over there,
I'’m gonna look this way.
Let'’s go.
[ZENTARE GRUNTING]
[BEEPING]
You know, for an alien,
you'’re pretty smart.
You'’re not so bad
yourself for...
Don'’t.
MAN: Exact going fare only.
Where'’s my money?
Where am I?
You'’re on my street,
that'’s where you are!
Keep walking, before I kick
that funny little butt of yours!
You'’re looking for me?
I got what you need.
[SNIFFING]
[GROWLING]
[SCREAMING][SKULL CRACKING]
In here.
RALEIGH:
What kind of doctor
lives in a dump like this?
She'’s not exactly
a doctor.
[SQUAWKING]
[KNOCK AT DOOR]
Mare Zoline?
A tracker? Here?
We need your help.
I should say you do.
Come in, come in.
[BIRD WHISTLING]
Uh, not there.
This way.
RALEIGH:
What is this
place anyway?
My laboratory.
Over here.
Easy. Okay.
This is incredible.
By your standards, maybe.
I'’ve had to fashion
most of this equipment
from televisions,
microwaves, you name it.
Arkadon cut out
my supply lines
some years ago.
How long have you been here?
Oh, about 30 years.
Just after your people
finally landed
on the moon,
I thought Arkadon
forgot all about me.
Is she gonna be okay?
Hard to say,
I'’m not exactly
a physician, you know.
Then what exactly are you?
A botanist.
You study plants.
Since I am the only
Arkadon scientist here,
I brought my discipline
to include the study
of fauna,
and occasionally, humans.
When they do
something interesting.
Which is rare.
[ZENTARE MOANING]
Briony.
Well, well,
look who wandered in.
Leaving the scene of a crime
is a major offense, you know.
So did you find her?
No, no, I haven'’t.
Now Raleigh and Zentare
are missing.
You know what
happened to them?
That'’s a good question.
She apparently vanished
right in front
of the paramedics,
and Raleigh took off.
You know,
you and your friends
aren'’t exactly making
this case easier for me.
The gunman had the same face
as the corpse you found
in the alley.
I know, I ran into him
when he was fighting with...
Anyway...
Forensics pulled pieces
of black of fabric
from the club.
I'’m pretty sure they belong
to the assailant.
BRIONY:
Covered with some strange
green substance.
Lieutenant,
may I speak to you
for a second?
Please tell me
we caught the guy.
Um, not quite.
What'’s up?
We'’ve had another face
ripped off.
Where?
Three blocks south
of the business district.
BRIONY:
Give me the report
as soon as possible.
Definitely.
Hey, where are you going?
I still need
a statement from you.
[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]
How are you doing, baby?
Hi.
You new around here
or something?
I'’m lost.
[LAUGHING]
Baby, everybody
around here
is lost, you know.
But you what, your
friend is here now.
Look, you'’re
hiding out, right?
Well, I got the perfect
place to hide,
by those stairs, baby.
No one will find you.
[BEEPING]
That should do it.
So she'’s okay?
If she were a human,
she'’d be dead.
But only one of her hearts
was damaged.
That'’s the great thing
about visceral redundancy.
Rather impressive
for a botanist, huh?
I'’m impressed.
Now what she needs is rest.
You could leave her here
until she is ready to travel
on her own.
Wait a minute.
She'’s got to protect
Princess Lar
from the assassin.
An assassin'’s here?
Yeah, one that happens
to have the habit of cutting
people'’s faces off.
Did you get close enough
to smell it?
Um, yeah. It smells
like something...
sweet, but sickly sweet.
Ah!
A free form, carnivorous,
photosynthesizing zeta, ah!
Oh, wonderful, ah!
You obviously haven'’t
met one before.
But I'’d love to!
You see,
it'’s one of the only
intelligent life forms
in the galaxy
that'’s evolved from plants.
They are like weeds,
very hard to kill,
which is why they make
perfect killers.
[WHOOSHING]
You have a lot of trouble
on your hands, friend.
This is her mission.
I can'’t do this without her.
Sure, just pass it back
to someone else.
All your little brains
are the same.
Carbon dioxide is poisoning
your atmosphere,
and the rainforests
which filter it out
are almost gone
but that'’s not
your problem, either.
Okay.
What can I do?
How am I supposed
to find Lar?
You seem to be
an intelligent creature
for a human.
Use that little
brain of yours.
Use your nose.
My nose.
Take care of Zentare.
Hey.
[PHONE RINGING]
Yeah?
RALEIGH: Hey, it'’s me.
Where are you?
It'’s a long story. Look.
Zentare is gonna be okay,
but she'’s gonna be
out of action for a while.
I have a feeling the assassin
is getting closer to Lar.
We don'’t have much time.
I have an idea.
You have Lar'’s cloak
in your loft, right?
Yeah, so?
I think it'’s time
we give the bloodhound
a field test.
Right, right.
It could lead us
right to her.
You'’re very kind
to help me like this.
Oh, baby.
No thing, baby.
Ain'’t no thing, but...
You know you'’re gonna
have to do
a little something
for me now.
What do you want from me?
Oh, no, baby.
I want you
to work for me.
So, uh,
you know I got to test
my merchandise, right?
[CHUCKLING]
Where are you going, baby?
We'’re just having fun.
[WHIMPERS]
You can'’t do this.
Oh, yeah?
See, you may
not notice, but...
you belong to me now.
If this thing
can regrow parts,
we'’re just gonna have
to figure out
a way to stop it.
Yeah.
Okay, I'’m placing
Lar'’s cloak fragment
in the spectral scanner.
[BEEPING]
There'’s her
thermal signature.
Now I program the bloodhound
to search for this molecule.
What'’s this?
RALEIGH: Ha-ha.
Self-destruct mode.
If there'’s a danger
of the bloodhound
falling into enemy hands,
there'’s just enough explosive
in there to incinerate it.
Can you re-target this thing
after it has been launched?
Sure. Why?
This Weed Man has a very...
uh, distinct smell.
Oh.
Is this what
I think it is?
Ha-ha, of course.
Brilliant.
Your bloodhound
has been upgraded
to Weed Whacker.
[BEEPING]
We'’re on, baby.
Okay, let'’s do it.
Find Lar, baby.
[BEEPING]
[WHIMPERING][SINISTER LAUGH]
You know,
you better learn to be
a little more cooperative.
If you want to live.
[SIRENS WAILING]
[SQUELCHING]
[GASPING]
Come on.
[GROANING]
You got a nice smile.
Why don'’t you let me
widen it out for you?
[CRUNCHING]
[SCOFFS]
[BEEPING]
All right, Johnny,
the bloodhound has entered
the red light district.
About 650 yards southwest
from your location.
[LAR SCREAMING]
[GRUNTS]
[PEOPLE SCREAMING]
Hey! What are you
doing? Hey.
STOREKEEPER:
You'’re gonna have
to pay for that!
RALEIGH:
Better hurry, man.
It'’s almost on top of you.
I hear you.
Once I find her,
give a search
and destroy command.
[GROWLING]
You have to go through me.
[GRUNTING]
[SHRIEKS]
Now, Raleigh!
[BEEPING]
RALEIGH: Got it.
Come on, Raleigh.
All safeties off.
Self-destruct mode... initiated.
Set to explode on impact.
What? Uh...
Johnny, we have a little bit
of a problem here.
Oh, you got problems?
What do you think
I'’ve got?
I realized something.
Plants don'’t have
pheromones like humans do,
and your skin
was the last thing
to touch that cloth.
[GRUNTING] So?
The bloodhound
is targeting you.
Get out of there!
JOHNNY:
I'’m a little busy
right now.
Think of something, Raleigh.
I can'’t override.
We'’ve got about five seconds.
Zentare!
BOTANIST:
There'’s nothing left.
No stamen, no pistil,
no seed, pod...
I can'’t believe it,
there'’s got to be
something here.
[SIGHS]
What took you so long?
I, um... slept in.
Couldn'’t you save
the finger, at least?
Raleigh, we'’re all okay
down here.
Night Man, one.
Bloodhound, zero.
[SIGHING]
We cannot thank
the two of you enough.
You have helped maintain
peace in the galaxy.
You have also proven
that you are the tall chain.
The chosen one.
You thin the war lords
will try anything else?
Our escorts are waiting for us
on the other side of your moon.
Thanks to you, Raleigh.
And to you, Johnny.
The ceremony will take place
and I will rule both worlds
with my mate,
and the war will finally
come to an end.
We are glad to help.
And, Doc,
thanks to your help.
It'’s time for me
to go back.
Lar has allowed me
to travel with her
to Aliestra.
Fascinating world.
You won'’t believe the variety
of plant life there.
About that lab of yours,
is there any way...
Sorry, friend.
They are already gone.
You people aren'’t really
for that kind of technology.
Little brain.
Had to ask.
I'’m afraid I haven't been
completely honest
with you both.
I am not as I appear to you.
[BEEPING]
Well, we must depart.
Goodbye.
Maybe I will see you
again sometime.
He'’s looking
at you, Raleigh.
[BEEPING]
Well, looks like we saved
the galaxy again,
and this time,
I didn'’t wreck your car
doing it.
Yeah.
[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]
Oh!
You'’re good. Very good.
Let'’s see how you are
on sharp turns.
[BEEPING]
Night Man wins again.
[WHOOSHING]
Why don'’t you pick on
someone your own size?
[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]
[LAUGHING]
Night Man, zero.
Blood Hound, mm!
You didn'’t tell me
it was gonna get this close.
Maybe if you didn'’t sweat
so much in that suit,
it wouldn'’t be so easy
to find you.
Remember, it'’s a scent-guided
homing beacon.
Yeah. Well, remind me
to switch deodorants.
Just think of it,
I'’m converting
a multi-million dollar
weapons experiment
into a peaceful device
that can track anything
from lost kids to lost socks
within a five-mile radius.
This is gonna bring me back.
Just as soon as I can fix
the rest of the bugs.
Bugs?
You didn'’t tell me
it had bugs.
Ah, didn'’t want
to worry you.
Besides, you'’re still alive,
aren'’t you?
That'’s it. From now on,
get someone else.
[BEEPING]
Someone just broke
into my loft.
My designs are in there.
I'’m right behind you.
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
[GRUNTING]
No, wait.
Who are you?
What are you doing here?
Is that how you
greet a friend?
[GIGGLING]
RALEIGH: Zentare?
What are you doing here?
My companion and I
just happened to be
in the star system,
and thought we'’d look up
my old comrades-in-arms.
Wait a minute,
last time you were here,
you brought along
the Dracons.
What kind of trouble
did you bring this time?
You forget,
I'’m the one
who follows trouble.
Who'’s this?
Uh, Raleigh, Night Man,
this is Lar Vallize.
Hi, Lar.
Are you a tracker too?
I am not.
She is not from Arkadon.
She is from
the green planet
of Aliestra.
Well, Lar from Aliestra,
welcome to Earth.
Thank you.
I was wondering, Tauchi,
if we might spend
the night.
Our vessel does not return
until tomorrow, and...
Sure, you'’re welcome to.
It was nice to meet you.
Excuse me, I'’m running late.
Thank you.
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
Spanish too.
Your education system
has obviously quite evolved.
Not to mention our vastly
greater brain power.
[SCOFFS]
Same old Zentare.
[BOTH CHUCKLING]
Oh, I gotta get going.
Why don'’t you two
come downstairs?
We'’ve really got
a special show tonight.
Oh no, I don'’t think we...
That would be nice.
[KNOCK AT DOOR]
Yeah.
Hello.Hey!
Is this your office?
Yeah. Where'’s Lar?
Johnny'’s giving her
a tour before the show.
Oh good, good.
Look, I'’m sorry
I had to desert you,
but this form
has to be postmarked
by midnight.
Oh, I understand.
Some government report?
You really know a lot
about humans, don'’t you?
Our reading materials
are reasonably complete.
A question.
There are billions
of planets out there.
Why come back
to this one?
You mean, of all the
gin joints in the universe
why did I have
to walk into yours?
You know our classics too.
A kiss is just a kiss.
That'’s an odd practice
you have.
Pressing this portion
of the anatomy together.
It'’s meant to arouse
sexual feelings?
Not if it'’s your
Great Aunt Martha,
but generally speaking,
and why is that so odd?
I suppose you have
some sort of
an efficient little switch
somewhere, right?
Click, click.
Thank you very much.
Now let'’s go conquer
another solar system.
No.
Actually, our pleasure centers
are in the brain.
Just like yours.
We have ten linkages,
you might call them.
And you?
Well, there'’s
holding hands,
and there'’s kissing,
and there'’s some sort of,
general touching.
Did you say you have ten?
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
We call it
the road to rapture.
Of course, you might arrive
at the same end point as we do.
We should experiment.
Wh... You and me?Mm.
Uh... Uh...
Okay, but remember,
this is just
an experiment, right?
[EXPLOSION]
[ELECTRIC BUZZING]
Raleigh.
Oh.
[EXCLAIMING IN ANNOYANCE]
I thought we were...
We are!
Never mind!
[SIGHING]
She is attractive.
Do you mate with her?
Not anymore.
Maybe we should continue
our experiment.
Uh...
The show is starting.
We should go.

[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]
So, what'’d you think?
It was wonderful!
We don'’t have anything
like that on Aliestra.
Maybe I should go
on an intergalactic tour.
I could bring the whole band.Could you?
Yeah, what do
you think, Raleigh?
[LAUGHING]
Sure. Why not?
[CLEARING THROAT]
Hey, Johnny, Raleigh.
RALEIGH: Hey.Hey.
You remember her.
Inspector Zentare
from Interpol.
How could I forget?
JOHNNY: And this is Lar.
Nice to meet you.
JOHNNY: So...[FLY BUZZING]
What brings you
here, Lieutenant?
Uh, you asked if I could have
a drink with you tonight,
and I said yes,
so here I am.
I'’m here.
Uh, John, can I see you
for a sec over there?
Yeah. Excuse me.
Excuse us.
She likes him.
She is formidable.
Briony? No.
They tried it
once, but...
[FLY BUZZING]
RALEIGH: Right now,
Lar has got a better shot.
No, that'’s
an impossibility.
That Inspector Zentare
of Interpol?
Well, I ran the name.
There is no Inspector Zentare
of Interpol.
In fact, Interpol doesn'’t have
any inspectors or detectives
or agents.
Well, you learn
something everyday.
She may be
dangerous, John.
Now you'’re
getting paranoid.
Paranoid?
Paranoid.
Okay, fine, well,
don'’t say I didn't warn you.
[SIGHING]
Uh... See?
He follows her.
What makes you think
your know more
about human sexuality
than I do?
Well, some things
are universal.
Not to mention
I am more evolved
than your little brain.
That'’s twice.
Hey, wait up.
Paranoid? You know,
that is so typical of you.
I see you sitting there
with this woman,
God only knows who she is,
it could be
a dangerous situation.
[MAN YELLING]
Keep it down.
Some of us
are trying to sleep.
Whatever. Listen.
JOHNNY:
Zentare does have
a history.
I can'’t get into it right now,
but she is not dangerous.
Neither am I.
Yeah, nobody listens...
[CLATTERING]
[ELECTRIC BUZZING]
Oh, you know,
I was here first.
You go find somewhere else
to sleep, buddy.
[GROWLING]
What'’s mine is yours,
eh, buddy?
[MAN SCREAMING]
Do you smell that?
Sweet. Like spiced rum.
[DIALING]
Officer needs assistance.
Northside alley.
Bayonne River Front.
Get the coroner out here.
CORONER:
Neck is definitely broken.
In fact,
it has been crushed.
The assailant did this
with one hand,
going by the indentations
on the neckline.
What about the face?
It'’s definitely been removed.
By what means,
I couldn'’t say.
Whoever did this
used an instrument,
better than anything
we'’ve got.
How could anyone
cut away an entire face?
The question is why.
You don'’t wanna
see this.Yes, I do.
[GASPS]
Jeez, uh...
Step back, please.
Behind the tape.
JOHNNY: You'’ve seen this
before, haven'’t you?
I don'’t know what
you'’re talking about.
Whoever killed that man
wasn'’t human, was it?
Again? You'’ve got
to be kidding me.
Please, we appreciate
your hospitality,
but we must be
moving on now.
Lar, you know
what it was.
If we stay here,
you will all be
in danger.
This thing
is after you,
isn'’t it?
If it found you
on a tiny blue planet,
on some other galaxy,
it will find you here.
I have been charged
with protecting Lar.
I'’ve taken a sacred vow
to do so.
You should not
get involved.
I don'’t know
what this is about.
But I can'’t walk away
from it now.
Right.
What choice
do we have?
Very well.
We cannot stay
around here.
We must go where
there'’s a large group
of people.
Safety in numbers.
There'’s a place
around the corner.
We can talk there.
[DANCE MUSIC PLAYING]
Phew.
This is very
different music,
and most expressive
body language.
It'’s called dancing.
Dancing?
[SCOFFS]
Whoa, Johnny Domino,
I presume.
Hey, Lester, how goes
the Revolution, man?
Oh, man, I'’m the man
where all the fun is.
I heard that.
Hey! What'’s up, Raleigh?
What'’s going on, Lester?You, baby!
[BOTH LAUGHING]
What can I get for you?Uh...
Let me have two surprises,
and two waters.
Okay.All right.
We protrude
like aching digits.
Uh, you stick out
like sore thumbs?
That is it.
You wanted safety
in numbers.
This is safety in numbers.
Why don'’t you tell me
who is after you?
Very well.
In my star system,
there are two
inhabited planets.
My world of Aliestra,
and the neighboring world
of Thwarta.
LAR: These two planets
were once united
in common heritage
and tradition.
But an argument
that no one even remembers
has embroiled the two
in a war
that has lasted
over a millennium.
I am the Kadiva
of my world.
ZENTARE:
It is like a princess.
And the future heir
to Aliestra.
I am to be married
to the High...
Emperor of Thwarta,
in hopes that the union
may finally bring peace
to our two
war-ravaged worlds.
And someone doesn'’t want
that peace to happen.
The war lords.
The war lords
of both worlds
are very powerful.
They have hired assassins
from all over the galaxy
to search for me.
Well, looks like
one of them found you.
And he will not stop
until she is dead.
And with no heir,
and no union,
the war lords will finally
overthrow both families.
Our ship does not return
until tomorrow night.
Thanks, Lester.
Until then,
none of us are safe.
No, no, no, man.
You had the ball lined up.
You could lose
all your money already.
[SQUISHING]
[GASPING]
Take it easy,
it'’s just a roach.
Insects are holy
where she is from.
[SNIFFING]
[GROWLING]
[GRUNTING]
Zentare!
[GRUNTING]
Revolution lives!
[GROANING]
[WOMAN SCREAMING]
Run!
[YELLING]
[GRUNTING]
[PANTING]You okay?
Yeah.
I have to stop him
before he gets Lar.
Take care of her.
Right.
Well...
Night Man meets Weed Man.
[EXPLOSION]
Raleigh.
The shooter,
where did he go?
Out that way.
Hang on.
Paramedics on their way.
Thanks.
What are you doing,
jumping in front
of a blast like that?
For somebody that'’s
supposed to be so smart,
that was a pretty
stupid move.
You must not let them
take me away.
If they find out
I'’m not a human...
You have a chest wound,
you need to be treated.
There is another way.
Go on after him.
Go, go!
Easy, easy.
You wanna tell me
what the hell
that thing was?
Wanna point that thing
somewhere else?
Mmm, I don'’t think so.
See, I finally got you
where I want you.
Lieutenant, remember
I'’ve saved your butt
a couple of times.
But your vigilante days
are over.
It'’s time to take you in.
I don'’t think so, Lieutenant.
Not today.
[GUN FIRING]
[SIRENS WAILING]
[BEEPING]
Huh? She'’s gone!
You guys look over there,
I'’m gonna look this way.
Let'’s go.
[ZENTARE GRUNTING]
[BEEPING]
You know, for an alien,
you'’re pretty smart.
You'’re not so bad
yourself for...
Don'’t.
MAN: Exact going fare only.
Where'’s my money?
Where am I?
You'’re on my street,
that'’s where you are!
Keep walking, before I kick
that funny little butt of yours!
You'’re looking for me?
I got what you need.
[SNIFFING]
[GROWLING]
[SCREAMING][SKULL CRACKING]
In here.
RALEIGH:
What kind of doctor
lives in a dump like this?
She'’s not exactly
a doctor.
[SQUAWKING]
[KNOCK AT DOOR]
Mare Zoline?
A tracker? Here?
We need your help.
I should say you do.
Come in, come in.
[BIRD WHISTLING]
Uh, not there.
This way.
RALEIGH:
What is this
place anyway?
My laboratory.
Over here.
Easy. Okay.
This is incredible.
By your standards, maybe.
I'’ve had to fashion
most of this equipment
from televisions,
microwaves, you name it.
Arkadon cut out
my supply lines
some years ago.
How long have you been here?
Oh, about 30 years.
Just after your people
finally landed
on the moon,
I thought Arkadon
forgot all about me.
Is she gonna be okay?
Hard to say,
I'’m not exactly
a physician, you know.
Then what exactly are you?
A botanist.
You study plants.
Since I am the only
Arkadon scientist here,
I brought my discipline
to include the study
of fauna,
and occasionally, humans.
When they do
something interesting.
Which is rare.
[ZENTARE MOANING]
Briony.
Well, well,
look who wandered in.
Leaving the scene of a crime
is a major offense, you know.
So did you find her?
No, no, I haven'’t.
Now Raleigh and Zentare
are missing.
You know what
happened to them?
That'’s a good question.
She apparently vanished
right in front
of the paramedics,
and Raleigh took off.
You know,
you and your friends
aren'’t exactly making
this case easier for me.
The gunman had the same face
as the corpse you found
in the alley.
I know, I ran into him
when he was fighting with...
Anyway...
Forensics pulled pieces
of black of fabric
from the club.
I'’m pretty sure they belong
to the assailant.
BRIONY:
Covered with some strange
green substance.
Lieutenant,
may I speak to you
for a second?
Please tell me
we caught the guy.
Um, not quite.
What'’s up?
We'’ve had another face
ripped off.
Where?
Three blocks south
of the business district.
BRIONY:
Give me the report
as soon as possible.
Definitely.
Hey, where are you going?
I still need
a statement from you.
[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]
How are you doing, baby?
Hi.
You new around here
or something?
I'’m lost.
[LAUGHING]
Baby, everybody
around here
is lost, you know.
But you what, your
friend is here now.
Look, you'’re
hiding out, right?
Well, I got the perfect
place to hide,
by those stairs, baby.
No one will find you.
[BEEPING]
That should do it.
So she'’s okay?
If she were a human,
she'’d be dead.
But only one of her hearts
was damaged.
That'’s the great thing
about visceral redundancy.
Rather impressive
for a botanist, huh?
I'’m impressed.
Now what she needs is rest.
You could leave her here
until she is ready to travel
on her own.
Wait a minute.
She'’s got to protect
Princess Lar
from the assassin.
An assassin'’s here?
Yeah, one that happens
to have the habit of cutting
people'’s faces off.
Did you get close enough
to smell it?
Um, yeah. It smells
like something...
sweet, but sickly sweet.
Ah!
A free form, carnivorous,
photosynthesizing zeta, ah!
Oh, wonderful, ah!
You obviously haven'’t
met one before.
But I'’d love to!
You see,
it'’s one of the only
intelligent life forms
in the galaxy
that'’s evolved from plants.
They are like weeds,
very hard to kill,
which is why they make
perfect killers.
[WHOOSHING]
You have a lot of trouble
on your hands, friend.
This is her mission.
I can'’t do this without her.
Sure, just pass it back
to someone else.
All your little brains
are the same.
Carbon dioxide is poisoning
your atmosphere,
and the rainforests
which filter it out
are almost gone
but that'’s not
your problem, either.
Okay.
What can I do?
How am I supposed
to find Lar?
You seem to be
an intelligent creature
for a human.
Use that little
brain of yours.
Use your nose.
My nose.
Take care of Zentare.
Hey.
[PHONE RINGING]
Yeah?
RALEIGH: Hey, it'’s me.
Where are you?
It'’s a long story. Look.
Zentare is gonna be okay,
but she'’s gonna be
out of action for a while.
I have a feeling the assassin
is getting closer to Lar.
We don'’t have much time.
I have an idea.
You have Lar'’s cloak
in your loft, right?
Yeah, so?
I think it'’s time
we give the bloodhound
a field test.
Right, right.
It could lead us
right to her.
You'’re very kind
to help me like this.
Oh, baby.
No thing, baby.
Ain'’t no thing, but...
You know you'’re gonna
have to do
a little something
for me now.
What do you want from me?
Oh, no, baby.
I want you
to work for me.
So, uh,
you know I got to test
my merchandise, right?
[CHUCKLING]
Where are you going, baby?
We'’re just having fun.
[WHIMPERS]
You can'’t do this.
Oh, yeah?
See, you may
not notice, but...
you belong to me now.
If this thing
can regrow parts,
we'’re just gonna have
to figure out
a way to stop it.
Yeah.
Okay, I'’m placing
Lar'’s cloak fragment
in the spectral scanner.
[BEEPING]
There'’s her
thermal signature.
Now I program the bloodhound
to search for this molecule.
What'’s this?
RALEIGH: Ha-ha.
Self-destruct mode.
If there'’s a danger
of the bloodhound
falling into enemy hands,
there'’s just enough explosive
in there to incinerate it.
Can you re-target this thing
after it has been launched?
Sure. Why?
This Weed Man has a very...
uh, distinct smell.
Oh.
Is this what
I think it is?
Ha-ha, of course.
Brilliant.
Your bloodhound
has been upgraded
to Weed Whacker.
[BEEPING]
We'’re on, baby.
Okay, let'’s do it.
Find Lar, baby.
[BEEPING]
[WHIMPERING][SINISTER LAUGH]
You know,
you better learn to be
a little more cooperative.
If you want to live.
[SIRENS WAILING]
[SQUELCHING]
[GASPING]
Come on.
[GROANING]
You got a nice smile.
Why don'’t you let me
widen it out for you?
[CRUNCHING]
[SCOFFS]
[BEEPING]
All right, Johnny,
the bloodhound has entered
the red light district.
About 650 yards southwest
from your location.
[LAR SCREAMING]
[GRUNTS]
[PEOPLE SCREAMING]
Hey! What are you
doing? Hey.
STOREKEEPER:
You'’re gonna have
to pay for that!
RALEIGH:
Better hurry, man.
It'’s almost on top of you.
I hear you.
Once I find her,
give a search
and destroy command.
[GROWLING]
You have to go through me.
[GRUNTING]
[SHRIEKS]
Now, Raleigh!
[BEEPING]
RALEIGH: Got it.
Come on, Raleigh.
All safeties off.
Self-destruct mode... initiated.
Set to explode on impact.
What? Uh...
Johnny, we have a little bit
of a problem here.
Oh, you got problems?
What do you think
I'’ve got?
I realized something.
Plants don'’t have
pheromones like humans do,
and your skin
was the last thing
to touch that cloth.
[GRUNTING] So?
The bloodhound
is targeting you.
Get out of there!
JOHNNY:
I'’m a little busy
right now.
Think of something, Raleigh.
I can'’t override.
We'’ve got about five seconds.
Zentare!
BOTANIST:
There'’s nothing left.
No stamen, no pistil,
no seed, pod...
I can'’t believe it,
there'’s got to be
something here.
[SIGHS]
What took you so long?
I, um... slept in.
Couldn'’t you save
the finger, at least?
Raleigh, we'’re all okay
down here.
Night Man, one.
Bloodhound, zero.
[SIGHING]
We cannot thank
the two of you enough.
You have helped maintain
peace in the galaxy.
You have also proven
that you are the tall chain.
The chosen one.
You thin the war lords
will try anything else?
Our escorts are waiting for us
on the other side of your moon.
Thanks to you, Raleigh.
And to you, Johnny.
The ceremony will take place
and I will rule both worlds
with my mate,
and the war will finally
come to an end.
We are glad to help.
And, Doc,
thanks to your help.
It'’s time for me
to go back.
Lar has allowed me
to travel with her
to Aliestra.
Fascinating world.
You won'’t believe the variety
of plant life there.
About that lab of yours,
is there any way...
Sorry, friend.
They are already gone.
You people aren'’t really
for that kind of technology.
Little brain.
Had to ask.
I'’m afraid I haven't been
completely honest
with you both.
I am not as I appear to you.
[BEEPING]
Well, we must depart.
Goodbye.
Maybe I will see you
again sometime.
He'’s looking
at you, Raleigh.
[BEEPING]
Well, looks like we saved
the galaxy again,
and this time,
I didn'’t wreck your car
doing it.
Yeah.
