01x06 - Requiem for Republic

[bunniefuu]

You should've told us.

Yeah, I know.

I just thought-‐

You thought

she'd have her mom back

and you could just

sneak off with the Sterzaad?

Buy your way home?

I know what family means.

And I know what

I'd do to see mine again.

That doesn't mean what you did

was right, because it wasn't.

But I understand.

I made a mistake.

Well,

to her, she made the mistake.

Trusting you.

It's not gonna be a quick fix.

Give it time.

- El, I

- Don't.

- I just need to

- I'm gettin' the hell off

this planet, and then

I never have to see you again.

What part of "give it time"

was confusing to you?

I don't know if

I should be the one to tell her

that she's walking in

the wrong direction, right?

El! Whatever

you need, you've got it.

I just need you

to know that I'm here.

- When my planet was destroyed

- Amae. I can't.

Okay?

So can we please

just get back to the ship?

It's just, uh

the ship is that way.

Of course.

I'll fix up Winni

and get you far away from here.

You'd be better gettin'

yourself far away from me.

Uh, entering

Arriopan space now, sir.

Fascinating, isn't it?

Currently

he's trying to find a kidney,

but I told him

not to make a sound.

Apparently, it's impossible

to fight

its mind control powers.

I had suspected,

but needed to be sure.

No, no, not it.

Oh!

There!

she is.

Forgot how bad it was.

It's okay, I can fix her.

- Hey, Winni.

- Welcome home, team.

Based on your kinesics, I deduce

that it was not

a successful trip.

Oh, Winnibee.

Let's get you up and running.

Status update, please.

16 essential

components fell off the ship

during the unusually

dense atmospheric entry.

Do we need them all, Winni?

If by need, you mean

essential or very important,

rather than just desirable,

- then yes, we need all.

- I'll get them.

I'll go help her.

You'll be okay?

I need to get

communications up first.

Warn Chaz

that Lazaro has the Sterzaad.

We need to find out

more about what it can do.

I don't think

we should get into discussion

of its superpowers

with her just yet.

I best call Dessai

and the Loyalists as well.

Let them know about their team.

- All right.

- Go help Elida.

This will help when night falls

The nocturnal

creatures of this planet

are both

carnivorous and poisonous.

- Most common are

- Avoid everything again.

Got it.

- El.

- Stop following me.

It wasn't meant to go that way.

Please.

I just wanna make it right.

I don't care Isaac.

I don't give

a sh*t about what you want!

Just leave me alone.

Because

it's taking everything in me

not to sh**t you right now.

Hey, that is a great plan.

Then we'd be even, right?

Okay.

That was a bad joke.

El

I'm sorry.

No one was supposed to get hurt.

Shut up, Isaac!

Shut up!

You only think about

what you want, since day one.

And you've been so obsessed

with getting back to Earth.

Did you ever stop

and think that maybe

your wife and child

were better off without you?

Because I can

absolutely guarantee they are.

And so am I.

You know it's been 15 years

since I was here, Lieutenant?

15 years since I was

asked to leave my own home

by the very

people I put in power.

Oh, but what a reunion it'll be.

Welcome back, sir.

Shall I prepare the shuttle?

Yes.

Home sweet home.

Get.

Mmm!

Ow!

You little sh*t.

[Isaac s

Nice try, mosquito.

But I'm from the Prairies.

Crackers?

Duct tape?

Not helping!

I detect the situation

is raising

your stress levels, Amae.

There are a lot

of people to reach.

This has to work.

No room for error.

One would

most certainly be burdened

by that amount of pressure.

I just

I don't know what's

gonna happen after this, Winni.

- With Elida and Isaac.

- Mm-hmm.

She has every

reason to be this angry.

I don't know if there's

anything he can do, you know?

How does that make you feel?

Helpless.

I mean, if you break something,

apologizing won't

put it back together.

I see.

Tell me more.

Elida's clearly

not used to anyone helping her.

I mean, when is the right time

to broach the subject

of going after Lazaro,

because time

isn't on our side.

I hear you.

You're a good

listener, Winnibee.

I activated

my empathic listening mode.

Of course you did.

It can't be real.

It can't be real.

It can't It's not real.

Sorry to

interrupt your supper, Council.

- But Lazaro's here.

- Oh, great. He's alive.

I would like to

personally escort him here.

Awful timing.

Doesn't surprise me, though.

Pass the baby eels.

What's wrong with you, Lazaro?

I backed you.

I swore to Rykal

you were the real deal.

I put myself

on the line over and over.

Not only did you fail to

k*ll the queen, multiple times,

you went completely rogue!

Why are you smiling?

I've been working

on that piece for a while.

I call it,

"Requiem for the Republic."

- What?

- You know, if I hadn't

been

so preoccupied with politics,

I would've become a composer.

Music, revolution,

I'm just a natural creator.

Have you gone completely stark

No, no, no, that's enough.

I've allowed you to vent.

Arrest him.

Did you hear what I said?

I said arrest him!

Oh.

You were heard.

Just not received.

Let's

have a chat

old friend.

Isaac?

You look exhausted.

- How's Elida doing?

- You haven't seen her?

No.

Elida!

Elida?

Amae!

Where are you?

No one is safe with you.

Amae, where are you?!

Amae!

- Amae!

- Elida

Elida!

I got you, buddy.

You

Ah!

El, you're

having a bad trip, buddy.

Let's get you home.

She's back.

Okay, come on, come on.

Sis, about damn time.

- You're on Wix?

- Yeah.

Elida's mom?

She wasn't here, Chaz.

They lied to us.

To Elida.

And now

a self-aggrandizing psychopath

has the most

powerful weapon in the universe.

Whoa, whoa,

whoa, come again, now?

Lazaro, he has his hands

on this thing

called the Sterzaad.

Amae, am I supposed

to know what that is

It's bad.

Real bad.

Kind of an

unstoppable weapon bad.

You need to get

out of Xija right now.

- Lazaro isn't your biggest fan.

- Okay.

- Get out of Republic Space

- Chaz.

- We have to go after him.

- What?

I mean, we're not

going anywhere anytime soon.

The regulators are

toast and I still need to fix

the infusion coil,

which is probably gonna

Amae.

This is not your fight.

You said you'd help

them get to Wix, and you did.

You've gotta stop

thinking about everyone else

and start

looking out for yourself.

This is bigger than me, Chaz.

I can't do anything

to change what WE lost.

But I can do

something about this.

I need you.

Wouldn't you

change what happened

to our home if you could?

Get off Wix at least.

Your nearest

neighbour is Carillo,

it's a heavy tourist spot.

Can you get back up and running?

You bet your bucksaw.

Warn who you can.

Get off Xija.

Stay safe, brother.

Really?

You're telling me that?

I'm so happy we're friends.

We're not

We're not friends.

We're not friends.

I'm so sorry, Elida.

I promise this will pass.

-

- Hey.

We'll be back soon.

It's what

Mom always wanted for us.

Why she trained us so hard.

Moms, am I right?

You shot my mom.

That's what friends do.

Who are you,

if I'm not hunting you?

We belong together, Elida.

Leave me alone!

Ahh

You remember that weekend

we took all that Kromuline Dust

and I spent the entire

time trying to stop you

from taking apart every

single piece of our furniture?

This is worse.

Far worse.

Come on, El.

Ha!

Esteemed admirals

of the Republic Council,

allow me the pleasure

of introducing

La-la-la-la-laaa ♪

La-la-la-la-laaa

la-la-la-la-la-ah! ♪

What the hell are you doing?

Your new leader

Commander Lazaro!

I know, I know,

it should be more impressive.

Right?

I need a better title.

Supreme something, of

the Free Republic Territories.

I don't know, Ruler?

Emperor?

Something with authority,

but not overly

pretentious, bviously.

Are you completely out of your

Shh.

I wasn't asking your opinion.

Just thinking out loud.

Sit.

Try as I might,

I couldn't make

this work on you from afar.

But then again,

doing this in person?

That's better.

Old man.

My queen.

- My leader.

- Hath?

Is this what you want?

I forgive you, I forgive

No, I forgive you. Ooh.

I forgive you!

-

- But I can't forgive you.

You gave him the Sterzaad.

Hath, Hath!

Hey.

We can't be out

here at night. Come on.

Come on!

Back up, mothman!

-

-

Ah!

Hey, dude.

You like collecting things?

I can see that.

Look, I got

a whole ship full of stuff.

Ah!

Hey!

You break it, you pay for it.

I gotta get us out of here.

Mm.

You know, I

really felt that my

dedication and tireless effort

would eventually earn me

a seat in your esteemed Council.

It seems so ridiculous

now that I think about it.

I led a revolution, only

to be shut out of my own home.

You can see

how that would be so

maddening.

But

son of

a Marquis, hmm?

Former aristocrat?

I was just never

gonna be good enough.

You see, therein

lies your issue.

You

are not the voice of the people.

You hmm.

do not

represent them.

You sit here in opulence.

Another monarchy!

Just without

the extravagant attire.

You

made nothing better.

Your revolution is over,

but mine is just beginning.

There is no

more need for you.

However, I do have

a gofer position available.

I've given each and

every one of you a weapon.

In half an hour, only

one of you will be left alive.

And by all means, be creative.

And go.

Ah!

-

- Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Look at me.

It's okay.

I won't let them hurt you.

Hey, you stay back, mothman!

-

- Leave her alone!

And Isaac said,

let there be light,

and there. Was. Light!

And it was good, you motherf

Ah!

Everything's gonna be okay, El.

Hello?

Isaac?

Winnibee?

Oh!

- For the love of crackers!

- Hello, Amae.

Winnibee, you can't just

sneak up on someone like that.

It seems we are not alone.

Oh, uh he hello.

Please put down

my diffusion chamber.

Drop it.

Drop.

It.

You should run, Amae.

I I I didn't

know you could do that.

Unfortunately,

it is a low voltage shot.

- It will be waking up soon.

- Oh.

It is best to k*ll it now.

I'm sorry.

Oh, duh.

Power was out,

nothing was charging.

Oh. Oh!

Again!

Amae, you should

consider a longer-term plan.

Well, thinking.

- Winnibee!

-

The arms of the Scarabine

are extremely sharp,

adapted to pierce

the exoskeleton

of its Arthropod prey.

Where are you going with this?

You could use

its arm to pierce its own skull

Wow, Winnibee!

Super dark.

Okay.

Oh.

Okay.

Oh, I I just

I just I need a moment.

Ah!

And that's why you

can't leave the hatch wide open.

Bugs get in.

Elida!

She can't hear you.

At least not in any

way that she can grasp.

Her symptoms seem to

be the effect

of the Clabvrok venom.

Are her hands cold?

- Icy.

- Then she is in

the final

stages of deliriousness.

Make sure she stays hydrated.

After that,

it is a matter of time until

the venom works

its way through the body.

- Side effects?

- A terrible headache,

And diarrhea.

I'll prepare the plumbing.

Eh, she's had worse.

Come on, buddy.

We gotta get you to bed.

You're gonna

wake up with one hell

of a hangover tomorrow morning.

Hey, there's more

parts in the bag back there.

Right. I'll fix

them in, we can leave soon.

And close the hatch!

Ready?

I hope getting through

this atmosphere

isn't as rough on the way out.

Speed is your friend.

Take her through

as fast as you can.

I won't miss this place.

Good riddance, Planet Wix.

It's amazing

just how long it can take

to k*ll someone.

Ugh

With a spoon.

And Admiral Kavar attempts

a strike, but it's blocked!

Now, Rykal takes the lead.

She lifts her weapon.

And strikes!

Ooh!

Will Kavar survive this?

No.

No, he won't.

We have a winner.

Ugh.

Finally.

Now, you're free to have

all your thoughts

and feelings, okay?

But I'm gonna

keep you on silent mode.

So, go get cleaned up,

and prepare my office.

We have a Republic to demolish.

I, uh don't

think I brought enough bleach.

You must've used

every last scrap of duct tape

to get Peggy

off the ground again.

I'm kidding. Nice work.

How's she doing?

After the engine started,

she passed out like a baby.

The engine rumble,

it always helped her to sleep.

- Me too.

- I guess you both spent

most of your lives on ships.

It was always the rain for me.

My parents

had a farm in Oak Bluff.

It's this small

town just outside of

Winnipeg.

And in the fall, before

we were covered in snow

we'd have

these amazing rainstorms.

Everything would

smell so fresh afterwards.

But during the night

that sound

would send me straight to sleep.

Sounds pretty spectacular.

Hannah would love this.

Elida didn't mean what she

said earlier

- about your family.

- She did.

And she was right.

Wherever they are

and whatever they're

doing now, it is their life.

And I'm not part of it.

It's time to accept that

I'm never getting back there.

Doesn't mean

you've lost home, though.

She just needs a good rest.

It'll be okay.

Winnibee,

got the controls for a moment?

- I'm on it.

- Come on.

Let's sort those scratches out.

Blood is really hard

to remove from these seats.

Shh.

Do not frighten the queen.

Mom.

Mom!

- You're here.

- I cannot stay.

No, no, please,

don't don't go.

These are not

your loyal subjects.

No, no, no, no.

They will k*ll you.

Oh. No, you can stay,

Mom, you're safe here.

You're safe with us.

Mom, listen to me.

Please, you have to move.

You asked me to stay.

No, Mom.

Mom, please.

Mom, please, move.

Please, please, Mom.

I can't lose you again.

Please move!

You've already lost everything.

But you're free.

Goodbye.

Mom, no.

Mom

Anything?

Nothing, sir.

All the monarchy texts

were burned

after the revolution.

Thank you for

stating what I already know.

Jump off that balcony.

Keep it down!

Gather every Aszagerologist

scientist in the galaxy.

We need knowledge

of all its powers.

Yes, sir.

Turn that sh*t off

Good morning, Elida.

Ooh, holy sh*t.

What happened?

You had a severe

reaction to Clabvrok venom.

A prominent

symptom is hallucination.

Yep.

Definitely had those.

Mm.

- Where are we now?

- Planet Carillo.

Amae and Isaac

are in the nearby market.

Can I get you anything, Elida?

I'm okay.

Goodbye, Winnibot.

Tastes like meat.

A meat-shake.

Yeah, it's gross.

Really hard

to describe chocolate flavour.

It's brown, sort of nutty.

It's a bean, but it's not beany.

It's like a dessert, you know?

Mm-hmm.

Hmm. No, not really.

Shall I go check on her?

No need.

Um, yeah,

I'll just I'll be over there.

I feel like

I've been dragged

through an asteroid field.

Nausea stage won't last long.

Thank you for looking after me.

That was Isaac really.

He messed up big time.

But we wouldn't be here

right now without his help.

There's a lot of places

we wouldn't be without Isaac.

All of them better.

We can relax here for

a few days while you recover.

- I'm not gonna stay here.

- Okay.

Winni will manage another hop.

I filled her up, I just need

No, I mean

you guys

can do whatever you want.

I'm not gonna

stay here with you.

I I I know

you've just experienced

the worst thing imaginable.

- I can't even begin to

- Amae.

I'm sorry

for dragging you into this.

But this whole

thing goes no further.

You didn't

drag me into anything,

I chose to be here.

And I choose to stay.

To go after Lazaro,

take him down,

- and get your home back.

- No.

- We're a team, we

- No.

We're selling the ship,

splitting it three ways.

Not that

he deserves a cut, but

I'm not a cheat.

We can't let

Lazaro get away with

Yes, we can.

Because there's nothing

worth fighting for anyway.

You don't mean that.

I I really think after

some rest and relaxation

Amae, stop.

We're done.

You're not selling her.

I'll buy you both out right now.

You get your money,

and I get Winni.

100,000 units each.

Sound fair?

It's got a fair few issues.

It's not a good investment.

Worth 50, tops.

You're

haggling me down?

Just sayin'.

Probably not worth it.

For that money,

you can get your hands on

- a brand new Star Freighter.

- What are you doing?

Isaac 2.0.

Brutally honest,

to the point that it's a fault.

You're a few years late.

I'm done being

mad at you, Isaac.

I'm done being

blindsided again and again.

It it it's exhausting.

My mother, she

she taught me

to be so much better

than this complete

fool I've become.

Goodbye.

I'm not crazy, right?

We parked it right here.

Yeah, kinda hard to lose a ship.

Well, sh*t.
