Return to Jupiter (1997–…): Season 1, Episode 6 - Moonlighting - full transcript
Come on, quick.
That thing's definitely getting closer.
And hungrier, by the sound of it.
There, it's coming.
Maybe you could talk
to it, reason with it.
What?
- Beg for mercy?
You're the one who
wanted the alien bone,
you go and talk to it.
Here.
What am I supposed to do with that?
Blind it with your torch
and then club it with that.
It was your idea to come here.
Yeah, but I thought you'd
chicken out before we got here.
What?
I'm sorry, I thought you'd wimp out.
It was just a dare, a joke!
Great, I'll remember to laugh
when the thing starts sucking
my heart out through my neck.
Come on, push, wanna be there
and back before Dad finds out.
You sure this thing's road-worthy?
I did the best I
could in the time I had.
Kumi, if we're not back by nightfall,
you should raise the alarm.
At least let me tell Selby.
- No, the best thing
you could do is stay here
and finish the hacker trace.
But, Tobias might be able to help.
He'd know the area.
What is there to
know, it's hot and it's flat,
and besides, I don't trust him.
You think you can drive this thing?
If it goes, we ride,
if it stops, we walk.
Doesn't take Einstein to figure that out.
Duel control, said it
could be the coordination.
Think you can handle it?
We don't wanna end up
in any more dust pools.
I'll hang off any pipelines.
Good luck.
What now?
You know, this is all Zac's fault.
Abe wouldn't go off by
himself, he'd be too scared.
Help!
- Yeah, I wouldn't bet on it.
Help,
over here, help me, it's me.
Please help me.
- Look, over there.
All these rocks, my hydraulics
are having a meltdown.
Help, help!
Abe,
answer me!
- Down here.
Abe.
- I can't hold on much longer.
Come on, give me your hand.
If I let go, I'll fall.
Abe, we haven't got much time.
Use your legs, wedge
yourself, give me your hand!
Abe!
Don't panic!
- Help me out!
Zac, I can't swim!
- Hang on.
Hurry up, I'm drowning!
Zac, Zac!
Die, zarglocks!
Die.
It's a fake, a dirty, rotten hoax.
Zac, you up there?
You?
I came, I saw, I ripped its head off.
You killed it?
It was the least I could do.
Are you okay?
- I wanna go home.
I made a miscalculation
with the alignment.
We now have 33 hours before we take off.
Selby has taken over my computers,
I can't give you any guarantees.
Then I'll give you one -
no colonist on Ganymede
is going to starve, because I
missed a launch opportunity.
Very well.
Tobias, we have a new
deadline, I'm afraid.
33 hours.
- Can't be done.
That's impossible, no...
- Time out, excuse us.
It has to be done, I gave my word,
and you know how I hate to break my word.
And I'm getting tired of
you singing to her tune.
Tobias!
- I said three days, not two.
The trace program, we can run it
whenever you're ready.
- We can't run it!
The access link to the
cybernet's still in pieces.
This is your problem.
Sorry, I thought she'd
have the net back online.
But what about the
one at the hydroplant?
We could still use
that, locate the hackers
from there.
- Kumiko, we don't have time
to play detective with some
fanciful computer program.
Sorry, Kumi.
- But you said you'd do it.
Tough call, kid.
That looks like it,
definitely, no doubt about it.
I certainly remember these rocks.
Better be right, Quadro.
Okay, cave boy, show me what you got.
Dear, dear.
- Watch your step.
Make sure you stay on my path,
and watch out for the sinkholes.
The iron drives are fully restored.
It's generated, they're gonna need
a little, actual thinking.
Feel better?
- I'm hot and sweaty,
now get on with the work, please.
I couldn't go against the Commander.
An undermined leader is an
adversary in the making.
Forget it, Dent's right,
it was a dumb idea anyway.
You know, if it was up to
me, I'd run your program.
Nail those suckers, well and truly.
Why didn't you say that before?
Because there's no good
reason to go to the hydroplant.
We need it here,
but keep working on it.
Tobias,
they asked me not to say anything,
but it's getting late,
and they're not back.
Who's not back, and from where?
What's she doing here?
Insisted on running
that program of hers.
Hurry up!
Shouldn't we tell Dent?
- Yeah, we don't need
to worry her, we'll be
there and back in no time.
I thought you were going to fix that.
Yes, I've had buckets
of spare time, haven't I?
Abe, watch yourself.
You'll have to climb up.
Yeah, right, once I get
my frozen fingers working.
This is definitely
where I last saw them.
You all right?
- Yeah.
Pretty elaborate
security system for a cave.
I wonder if it's designed
to keep things in or
to keep them out.
Yeah, well, you can ask
Selby when you see her.
I will.
She needs his handiwork.
Zac, there's water starting to come in!
Great, so you can float up.
Yeah, face down, I've
already told you I can't swim!
I'd sink, then I'd freeze!
Maybe then I'd float.
- Abe, shut up!
Abe, you hear me?
Abe?
Over here, help!
Am I glad to see you,
help me, Abe's down there.
Hang on, Abe, we'll get you out.
Okay, Zac, you too,
Quadro, all together.
Pull.
Go easy!
Be careful.
You all right, Abe?
- Yeah, fine,
but if you don't get me out of here soon,
I'm gonna need a snorkel.
There's water pouring in down there.
Pondo planet, it just activates
when there's enough solar
energy for the fusion chamber.
Can you speak English?
He's gonna drown if we
don't get him out of there.
It's a disaster.
- We need another rope.
This one's had it.
The boxes, there were
stacks of them around.
All right, you wait here with Abe.
It won't be long, Abe.
What is this stuff?
What's it doing stashed
down here, more to the point.
Nothing.
What about back through there?
It might be the hydration plant.
Give us a hand.
There's gotta be a way.
- We need a lever.
If you guys don't get
a rope down here quick,
I'll have to grow gills.
- We're working on it, Abe.
God, I wish we had an ax.
- If we had an ax,
we wouldn't need the arm, now pull.
You better hurry!
Here, let me help you.
If we can't get Abe out of the water,
maybe I can get the water
out of the sinkhole.
Go for it, I'll look for a rope.
You shut down the fusion drives,
you stop the water and give
us some breathing space.
Well, what are you waiting for?
I'm not sure how.
- Well, why not?
You're supposed to be
the embody engineer.
Yeah, but I'm not one yet.
Well, push some buttons, anything!
Something's got to happen.
Zac, Zac!
Whatever they did, they did it wrong!
It's flooding down here!
- This is all my fault.
Well, I can't argue with that.
Who asked you?
Come on, well try something else.
There has to be a power switch.
Thought I could work this thing.
Break-and-enter, this
had better be good.
Look, it's Abe, you
gotta stop the water.
Please, no questions, just do it!
Your program.
While we're gone, you can
dump this on the cybernet.
Commence Kumi's hacker search.
That could be a problem.
Then,
erase the problem.
I'm sure you'll find a way.
Come on, let's go.
This way.
You won't be needed down here.
Why don't you give Glovic a hand?
She's only gonna run my trace program.
Yeah, and you wanna
see it run, don't you?
Something's strange is going on.
Just trust me, okay?
Okay.
And Kumi, be careful.
Okay, kid, slip this around you.
Okay, I'm ready.
- Right, everyone pull.
The fake alien, is that your handiwork?
So, now I can add vandalism
to the list of your crimes.
Hey, you'll rip me in half!
Screen on, download
to cybernet in progress.
Screen off.
I get very nervous
about computer snoops.
I just got back, they
didn't need me down there.
I ran ahead, I just wanted to know
if you had any luck with my program.
Bad news, we drew a blank.
So they got him out, did they?
They're still going, sort of.
Either they have or
they haven't, which is it?
In a thousand years
time, some mad scientist
would've found me frozen
in a block of ice.
Get him dried off
before he does freeze.
Glovic, go and find him some clothes.
You all right?
Activated.
Don't wipe your sniveling nose on them.
Take it easy, that hurt.
You haven't even
begun to feel pain yet.
But it was my fault, you
don't have to pick on him.
She's right, you know.
- Yeah, I know.
But I enjoy it.
- Is he always that mean?
Yeah,
except for that stupid alien.
Not exactly a real bone.
Go on, take it.
Pretend you wanted robotic eye sockets.
The stuff of legends.
I'll speak slowly so
you won't be confused.
Nothing is going to delay our departure.
If you are not on board
at 1800 hours tomorrow,
then some poor marshal will have
the dubious pleasure
of looking after you!
I wouldn't be too
hard on them, Commander.
One of the fusion processors
ruptured at the plant.
Luckily, we had them with us.
Don't worry, we'll make up for lost time.
Well not sitting around here you won't.
Now make yourselves busy.
Selby, why did you stick up for us?
Maybe I like kids.
Well, I don't get it.
Caves with fake aliens, watching over
a stash of brand new equipment.
All designed to protect our spare parts
from thieving ferals.
They're the superstitious
lot, easy to scare.
What are ferals gonna do
with hi-tech electronics?
Isn't that why they left the colonies,
to get away from it,
to get back to nature?
They sell it on a very
lucrative black market.
Everyone has to eat, even ferals.
I thought I was dead,
and when its face came off,
it was you!
I'm really gonna miss
you guys when you leave.
Please, don't even mention it.
What will you do?
- Dear.
We'll be all right.
We're used to the scorching sun,
the freezing chill of the desert night,
the days without food.
The sand in your joints,
the ice in your circuits.
I hate the desert.
- Toughens you up.
I wish you guys could come with me.
Me, too.
There's no data on this chip.
Do you wish to initialize or eject?
Ejecting.
New chip, scanning,
titled, Icarus Cargo Manifest.
List contains 48272 items,
precisely.
Don't sneak up on me like that.
What are you so jumpy about?
My hacker program's been wiped.
They must have been Glovic,
she's the only one who had it.
Well, are you sure about that?
You didn't just wipe it by mistake?
A four year old makes that
kind of mistake, not me,
and if she wiped it,
maybe she never ran it.
But you said she did.
- She said she did.
When I got to her computer,
she was running this.
She got very jumpy about me being there.
Well, what is it?
- It's the Cargo Manifest,
with a few of her own modifications.
Why would they be running it on the net?
There's something else.
Selby just told me that all the stuff
in the cave were spare parts,
but when we first met him,
back in the hydroplant,
he was complaining because
he couldn't get any.
Come on, let's move, I
know what they're doing.
Gerard, come on, wake up, wake up!
Go away!
- Gerard, get up!
I was just having the best dream.
I was at the Miles
Rally, and I was winning.
What'd you do that for?!
Listen, the chip Kumi
took from Glovic's computer
contains the ship's
manifest, the list you made.
It's being auctioned
on the black market.
The cargo, the stuff in the caves.
It's no coincidence we
crashed into the hydroplant.
Selby planned it that way.
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
All right, now I'm
awake, what's going on?
Crash the ship, take the cargo.
No one's gonna expect a couple of hermits
from the hydroplant.
- Can you prove this?
Where's the manifest chip?
It's still in my computer.
- Go and get it.
We gotta see Dent.
My computer,
it's been melted!
Someone's destroyed it!
Selby.
Both the chips are gone.
Is Dent gonna believe
us without that chip?
We could do another way.
Run another trace.
- I thought you said
your search program had been wiped.
Any idiot can make a backup,
and if we can get to the hydroplant,
we can use this solvent.
Love to nail that creep.
Get back, get back.
Don't move.
- The girl's not going
to cause anymore trouble,
I fixed your computer.
So, I assume they
can blast off on schedule?
All the programs are loaded.
And you said it couldn't be done.
Don't forget, Glovic,
it takes a true genius
to turn disaster into triumph.
He's gone.
- Put your paws off me!
Sorry to scare you, Zac.
What was that all about?
There's a special takeoff
drill, emergency procedures.
Now get back to sleep.
Emergency procedures?
What emergency?
Come on, move it, you guys.
Yeah, all right.
I wanna be outta here
before Selby wakes up.
You can't tell me this
is an emergency drill.
What's going on?
- Sorry, Zac,
Michael will explain.
I'll look after it, I promise.
Well, watch out for the motor.
If it overheats, you'll burn it out,
and you'll pay for it if you do.
Look, you got three hours.
I'll keep an eye out for Selby.
You two just be careful.
Don't let Dent go without us.
Don't worry, good luck!
Don't look so worried.
Don't underestimate Selby,
forgot about the crash.
He'll do anything to stop us.
Haven't seen the girl all morning.
She's not in her room, I
don't know where she is.
Now you've ruined
a perfectly good meal.
You still got the manifest?
Then, turn the place upside down
and shake it by the throat
if you have to, but find her!
That thing's definitely getting closer.
And hungrier, by the sound of it.
There, it's coming.
Maybe you could talk
to it, reason with it.
What?
- Beg for mercy?
You're the one who
wanted the alien bone,

Doesn't take Einstein to figure that out.
Duel control, said it
could be the coordination.
Think you can handle it?
We don't wanna end up
in any more dust pools.
I'll hang off any pipelines.
Good luck.
What now?
You know, this is all Zac's fault.
Abe wouldn't go off by
himself, he'd be too scared.
Help!
- Yeah, I wouldn't bet on it.
Help,
over here, help me, it's me.
Please help me.
- Look, over there.
All these rocks, my hydraulics
are having a meltdown.
Help, help!
Abe,
answer me!
- Down here.
Abe.
- I can't hold on much longer.
Come on, give me your hand.
If I let go, I'll fall.
Abe, we haven't got much time.
Use your legs, wedge
yourself, give me your hand!
Abe!
Don't panic!
- Help me out!
Zac, I can't swim!
- Hang on.
Hurry up, I'm drowning!
Zac, Zac!
Die, zarglocks!
Die.
It's a fake, a dirty, rotten hoax.
Zac, you up there?
You?
I came, I saw, I ripped its head off.
You killed it?
It was the least I could do.
Are you okay?
- I wanna go home.
I made a miscalculation
with the alignment.

in the cave were spare parts,
but when we first met him,
back in the hydroplant,
he was complaining because
he couldn't get any.
Come on, let's move, I
know what they're doing.
Gerard, come on, wake up, wake up!
Go away!
- Gerard, get up!
I was just having the best dream.
I was at the Miles
Rally, and I was winning.
What'd you do that for?!
Listen, the chip Kumi
took from Glovic's computer
contains the ship's
manifest, the list you made.
It's being auctioned
on the black market.
The cargo, the stuff in the caves.
It's no coincidence we
crashed into the hydroplant.
Selby planned it that way.
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
All right, now I'm
awake, what's going on?
Crash the ship, take the cargo.
No one's gonna expect a couple of hermits
from the hydroplant.
- Can you prove this?
Where's the manifest chip?
It's still in my computer.
- Go and get it.
We gotta see Dent.
My computer,
it's been melted!
Someone's destroyed it!
Selby.
Both the chips are gone.
Is Dent gonna believe
us without that chip?
We could do another way.
Run another trace.
- I thought you said
your search program had been wiped.
Any idiot can make a backup,
and if we can get to the hydroplant,
we can use this solvent.
Love to nail that creep.
Get back, get back.
Don't move.
- The girl's not going
to cause anymore trouble,
I fixed your computer.
So, I assume they
can blast off on schedule?
All the programs are loaded.
And you said it couldn't be done.
Don't forget, Glovic,
it takes a true genius
to turn disaster into triumph.
He's gone.
- Put your paws off me!
Sorry to scare you, Zac.
What was that all about?
There's a special takeoff
drill, emergency procedures.
Now get back to sleep.
Emergency procedures?
What emergency?
Come on, move it, you guys.
Yeah, all right.
I wanna be outta here
before Selby wakes up.
You can't tell me this
is an emergency drill.
What's going on?
- Sorry, Zac,
Michael will explain.
I'll look after it, I promise.
Well, watch out for the motor.
If it overheats, you'll burn it out,
and you'll pay for it if you do.
Look, you got three hours.
I'll keep an eye out for Selby.
You two just be careful.
Don't let Dent go without us.
Don't worry, good luck!
Don't look so worried.
Don't underestimate Selby,
forgot about the crash.
He'll do anything to stop us.
Haven't seen the girl all morning.
She's not in her room, I
don't know where she is.
Now you've ruined
a perfectly good meal.
You still got the manifest?
Then, turn the place upside down
and shake it by the throat
if you have to, but find her!
