All language subtitles for Andromeda S05E04 - Decay of the Angel

Dylan...

Dylan!

Dylan?

Dylan!

Dylan!

I don't know which one of us
you scare more when you do that.

Same dream?

I think it was, yes.

Well...

dreams are just electrical impulses,
residue of the day,

but emotional, you know,
working things out.

They say...

when you tell them, it helps.

Tell papa.

My private thoughts are
my private thoughts, Harper.

Right.

It might help, though.

I do feel like I can talk to you.

And that's why
we get along so well.

Come on, tell me.

I'm somewhere.

I don't know where.

There's a narrow passageway
of some kind.

Things are malfunctioning...

it doesn't make any sense.

Hey, I'm the hand that feeds you,
remember?

You know,

it would be more comforting
if you said something back,

anything.

Beautiful.

And all that is beauty fades.

Andromeda, hello.

Possible toxic release
in one... evacuate.

Repeat, evacuation.

A friendly, "how do you do,"
would suffice.

Not feeling so friendly, huh?

Well, I don't mind
the silent treatment.

So...

have you two met?

I've picked up anomalies
in the gravit... outer planets.

You know, we've got to stop
meeting like this.

I'm detecting a sensor contact...
solar system.

It appears... slipstream event.

I didn't even know your sensors
were working.

Andromeda,
are your sensors working?

Did you really detect
a slipstream event?

I'll take that as a yes.

The universe is a dangerous place,

but in our future,

my crew and I fight to make it safe.

I am Dylan Hunt,

captain of the
Andromeda Ascendant,

and these are our adventures.

Your little ship is almost done.

Easy there, cowgirl.

This ship you're calling little

was once the biggest, meanest

flying can of whoop-ass
in the known worlds.

And...

she was beautiful,
especially when she was angry.

It's odd.

You know how when you wake up
from a dream,

you can't tell
if what you're experiencing

is still the dream
or the other way around?

You think this is the, uh,
ship in your dream?

I don't know.

The whole flying thing,
that it's me, flying between the stars,

and then this spacecraft,
and you introduce me to a man...

Dylan.

Why would he be in my dreams?

Yours I can see, but mine?

We're linked, he and I, somehow.

Well, I mean, you met him...

it's a new face.

That's the thing
about dreams, right?

They're just collected images that
the cerebral cortex randomly spits out

when it relaxes. So of course,

they seem a little crazy.

And as amazing as it feels to fly,
it turns so horrible.

And there's so much loss,

and pain, and blood,
and it all seems my fault.

But like you said,
it's just a dream.

Residue of the day.

Exactly.

Talking to you helped.

That's what I'm here for.

Yeah, that's what I'm here for.

Even if I do cut you a deal,

you still can't afford me.

So how will you
talk Beka into going?

She'll go. As long as you don't tell her
I'm paying you, we're okay.

Dylan, Dylan, Dylan...

sometimes you can pit your will
against a hostile universe,

and the universe wins.

Eventually,
you should understand that.

Rhade, how could I possibly
understand that?

It's never happened.

Well, what about the time...

This better be good.

I've got 40 enormous pallets
of Kormak's fresh fruit

in the Maru's hold.
They won't stay fresh forever.

This is good, Beka.

Andromeda, fill her in.

Welcome every...
see you again... One place.

Great. She been drinking?

Nominal sensors indicate point outside...

Dylan, Dylan, Dylan,
what is the point of this?

Are we pretending
we're a crew all over again?

Oh, I won't make that
mistake five times.

Backup sensors confirm
I detected a slip-point,

edge Seefra system.

She, uh, detected
a slipstream event?

Mm-mm.

Which someone created
to come into this system.

Okay, I'm listening.

If they created a slipstream portal
to get in here,

that means they'll use it to get out.

And you plan to piggyback that person.

Which means I need your ship.

But you can't afford to pay me.

Nope.

Forget it.

I've got an enormous shipment
of funny fruit in there.

The funny fruit goes bad, the Maru
smells like burnt orchard for weeks.

It's nasty.

Look, I'm sorry,
but it's money out of my pocket

to have the pleasure
of helping you two out for free.

I mean...

am I missing something here?

We need the Maru to tow Andromeda
to the slip-point

and pull her through.

It'll mean you get through as well.

Beka...

survival is worth more than money.

I'm surviving just fine here, thanks.

Okay, I'll pay you.

Besides... adventure is worth
more than survival.

Yes, an adventure.

Come on, Beka.

You've never backed down
from a challenge before.

Adventure.

And a challenge.

All right, I'll grab the spare parts.

You keep an eye out
for the tech police.

Baby needs a new pair of shoes.

Take what you want, okay?

You can have it!
Please, just let me live.

Take what you want.

Please! Just let me live.

How'd you like it if I set
your hair on fire, huh?

Want me to do that?

No!

Okay, maybe we'll shave your head first.

Good idea.
Or maybe we just exfoliate you all over.

Would you like that?

Rob you, and then exfoliate you.

I haven't done anything.

I haven't done anything to you.
I'm innocent.

Why don't you leave him alone?

Lookie here... a hero.

Hey, hero.
How'd you like your hair?

Scorched or seared?

You seem a little inexperienced
for these streets.

Hey, hold on...

Watch your back next time.

That was amazing.

She's taken. Let's go.

Anyone ever tell you
you're beautiful when you're mad?

You, every time you make me mad.

How can I repay you for saving me?

By going away.

Harper, I can't just abandon someone
whose life I just saved.

Sure you can. Bye-bye.

I don't even know your name.

I'm Argent.

You must let me repay you.

We're bound to each other now.

You've injured yourself.

I'm bleeding.

Uh, we'll, uh... we'll get you home
in bed, fix this properly.

You're not going to leave me here,
are you?

That was no coincidence.

Please.

No, you cannot come with us, not ever.

Harper, we can't just leave him.

Very philanthropic,
but existential trumps humanism.

Sorry, pal, welcome to Seefra.

Where technology like what you have there
is illegal, or at least I'm assuming,

based on the way you're...

Hey, that is none of your business.

I know a lot.

All right, maybe you'd better
come with us.

How's your patient?

She'll live.

No, she won't,
because she's not alive to begin with.

She's android, isn't she?

But thinks she's human.

She was leaking
superconductor fluid,

but said she saw blood.

How does a machine come to think
it's flesh and blood?

Three reasons...
none of your business,

none of your business,
and none of your business.

And don't you dare talk to her about it.

I guess it's not her business, either.

So you're not as dumb as you look.

Now, I call the shots around here,

so mention it again, you're gone.

Got it?

Approaching outer edge of...
at current speed,

122 light minutes
from suspected slip-point.

Outstanding. Feels like old times.

Sure, if you ignore the fact

that this ship is a giant paperweight

which is being towed by the Maru,
then yes, I suppose it does.

You know, there is objectivity, Rhade,

and then there's raining on my parade.
Learn the difference.

Now, that is someone
raining on my parade.

Incoming from the asteroid field.

Battle stations.

Battle stations? We're being towed.

I know. It's just habit.

Damn it.

Dylan, when you sold me
on this little trip,

did you plan on telling me about
the people shooting missiles at me?

Consider yourself told.

Can you take us to cover?

Please.

I've got a nice little iron-core rock
all picked out.

Just sit back, relax,
and enjoy the show.

Andromeda, time until
we reach asteroid orbit.

One minute... 22 seconds.

Thank you, Andromeda.

ECM is down.

If we can't conjure counter-measures
soon, we'll be dead in the water.

Water.

Andromeda, open the valves on Deck 12
and vent the water tanks.

Even with the reduced mass,
we won't be measurably faster.

It'll give them a sensor ghost.

Ha!

Faint power emanating
from the... May be inhabited.

Some kind of a colony.

Deep scan... Generator targeting us.

Beka, get us out of here.

Beka...

I think we should leave.

Beka.

Andromeda.

Oh, crap.

Who are you?

Really.

Who?

Are you sure you want to know?

More than ever.

I'm from the future.

So, then, do you know
that I'm going to do this?

Future man, did you?

No, I can't say that I did.

I owe you.

I came for Hunt's ship. I came for you.

Me?

In some futures,
the Andromeda was destroyed.

In others, she survived.

Where I come from,
she survived, but barely.

I want to restore her to her supremacy.

Rhade?

What?

Well, we're still alive.

Andromeda...

Andromeda, report.

The energy pulse fried
the few systems you had working,

including AI, if you count
what it was as "working."

Thank you, Rhade, for your update.

Dylan, are you there?

Yeah, I can hear you. You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.
I'm just strengthening

the connection of the bucky cables a bit.

You're gonna feel a little jolt.

And that's the good news.

The bad news is the asteroid,
the Seefra system...

gone.

We are in a different region
of space, but...

I'll be damned if I can identify it.

Then we're lost.

But we're out of Seefra.

The bucky cables are ready to go.

Ready to go where?

I don't care.
Let's just pick a direction,

because sitting here
isn't going to do us any good.

Dylan... we have yet another problem.

Life support just shut down.

At this point,
the only thing working is gravity.

I'm not leaving my ship.

Easy, there. Why so fast?

You're right.

I'm safe here.

No one is going to take this from me.

You sure you won't join me?

I'm not hungry, but maybe later.

Harper tells me you have amnesia.

I have...

I'm not sure. What is it called

when you can't remember
what you have?

Peace of mind.

Yeah, that I don't have.

Really?

I have these dreams
that I can't understand,

doing things I can't remember.

They haunt me.

Yes, me too.

Really?

Tell me. Nightmares?

Yes. I'm...

me and Harper, and other people,

are on a spaceship together,
and I get hurt.

And I get these flashes...
flashes, sometimes.

Look, there are things about you

I'm not quite sure you fully understand.

Okay. Okay, that's enough.

You got no right.

And you have no right keeping secrets
she deserves to know.

Yeah, neither one of you
are making any sense.

When you were injured yesterday,

what did you see on your hand,
on your arm?

Blood. I was cut. You saw.

But not blood.

I saw super conducting fluid
and exposed components.

There was no blood
because you don't have any.

Tell her, Harper.

What is he talking about?

He doesn't have an answer, Doyle,
because what you saw was a lie.

You're not human.

You're android, a machine.

Okay.

Uh, what is this?

It's not my birthday. It's not...

Oh, you're going to make me guess?

Harper?

All right, enough already.
Come on, shut up!

Like the lady said,
you're not making any sense.

Put your hand in there, Doyle.

Go ahead. Sub-zero.

But if you think you're sure,
you won't, because you're organic.

I think you said enough, all right?

Uh, time to go, Joe. Doyle,
would you mind showing him the door?

- I know you're going to do it.
- Doyle?

Because you know deep down inside...

- Doyle, don't listen to him.
- You won't freeze.

Don't listen to him.
I order you to ignore him.

He's ordering you.

You have a will of your own.

You're not machine?
Find out. End your nightmare.

I think Harper did a very good job

of making you think that you're human.

I've watched you.

You cook, but don't eat.

Ran here at full speed,
and your breathing never changed, did it?

Because you don't really breathe.

Why do you keep at me?

I like you.

Has he made others?

Are you the only one
he's told is organic?

Why? Why would Harper do it?

I did it for you.

Man, you run fast.

Look, I did it because...

I just wanted you to experience...

I wanted to experience...

something more tender,
even if we never would...

You implanted false memories in me,

and made me believe a lie.

For me?

That's too easy.

No, no, no.
I did not implant false memories.

I just suppressed the real ones,
but I did it out of love.

Look, there's a lot more of the new you

than the old you in there, and...

I just didn't want you to feel
like two different people.

I didn't want you to feel like a freak.

You think I'm a freak?

I didn't say freak. Did I say freak?

Why would I say freak?

Well, you gave me some free will.
Thanks for that.

Back off.

I bet this isn't the first time
this has happened to you, is it?

Keep pushing, pal.

Sooner or later, you'll pay.

Now...

why are you so cool about all this, huh?

What's in it for you?

You going to help,
or you going to sulk for another hour?

Sulking is helping.

2,000 years of genetic engineering,

and Nietzscheans can't eliminate
the gene for the blues.

- What?
- You heard me.

That would be self-defeating.

Depression is a survival strategy.

Without it, we'd keep doing
the same useless things

over and over and over again.

It's nature's way of saying
that what you're doing is futile,

and that it's time to let go.

Got it?

Depression is nature's way of weeding out
the weak and the useless, Rhade.

Which one are you?

What?

- You heard me.
- Don't you...

Quiet.

We're being boarded.

Rhade, we've got intruders, heavily armed,

and they're packing pretty interesting
tech equipment.

They've restored the power here.

Which raises the question,
do we stop them?

Could get me out of my mood.

Hold on, cowboy.

Let's see if they fix the ship first.

Then you can go crazy on them.

You owe the lady an explanation.

When I first built you,
all I had was a hand-comp

and core fragments of an AI, all right?

Every time you woke up, you'd just...

You'd start yelling at me
and try to leave.

Pretty much like every
relationship I've ever had,

but you've got an off switch.

Do you have any idea
how terrible that is?

I know, I didn't say I was proud.

You wanted to know, so I'm telling you.

Why did I stay? What did you do to me?

You just kept wanting to find Dylan,
look for Dylan.

I couldn't get past it,
couldn't make any progress,

and then one day, it occurs to me.

What if... instead of trying
to fight your memories,

I make you someone else.

Let the core AI work against itself.

The nightmares...

my core AI...
trying to reconcile conflicting data.

It's a subconscious do-loop.

We've all got them. It's
a stroke of genius, really.

It makes you more human.

But you have no right to
turn me into something...

Someone I'm not.

I know. I just...

I just wanted Rommie back.

I just wanted my old life back.

Well, Argent knows where Andromeda is,

and I want to go there.

He says Dylan is there.

No way, uh-uh.

You, Dylan, and the Andromeda together?

Bad idea.

To see your old ship, your friends,
but you'd like that, yes?

Do I sound like I'd like it?

Tempting, but no thanks.

I'm going.

Dylan?

Beka, tell me you are not on Andromeda.

I am not on Andromeda.

Except I am.
I'm looking for spare parts.

Am I missing anything?

We've been boarded.
Make your way to my quarters.

We'll take back the ship.

So lock ourselves in
and fly to where, exactly?

One step at a time, Beka.

Rhade, Beka is on Deck 41.

We're going to meet at my quarters.

Beka's back on board, huh?

Well, not working out as the greatest
plan you ever devised, is it?

If you've got a better one,
I'd like to hear it.

See what I mean, Rhade?

Rhade?

They've kept us alive.
Merciful and incompetent.

Really? Is now the time for insults?

I always wanted you two
to bow down before me.

Hey, guys, what's up?

Take them away.

There's a class B asteroid
in the Abbott Belt. It's hollow.

You don't say.

It is a tesseract generator.

The size of an asteroid?

The power requirements
would be staggering.

My people used it to transport
Andromeda to a safe place.

You transported the whole Andromeda?

To a safe place? What safe place? Why?

I don't know.
I was sent to make contact with you.

Oh, well, you certainly did that.

In fact, you made a lot more contact
than I'm happy with.

But there's no reason to go into it.

I think we all know
where we stand on that.

All right, you got me.

I'd like to see your...
tesseract generator.

We'll take my loving bucket of bolts.

But I'm not driving.

What is it with crazy people
and asteroids, anyway?

The plan was to draw
the Andromeda into range

and send her through a tesseract.
That's all I know.

Yeah, well, the Andromeda

is not responding to my hails,
so either your plan worked,

or you're lying to us.

In which case,
there's only one way to find out.

We tesseract to the Andromeda.

All right, all right, just give me
a minute first. This is incredible.

Why are you doing this?
Helping us, I mean.

That's what people do, isn't it?

Help each other.

Yeah... people, but haven't you heard?

I'm not exactly "people."

I feel my pulse racing.

And the warmth of your lips...

how can I feel all that and not be human?

You're so much more than you know.

I love you for that.

There's one thing I don't get.
Why your employer

would tell you so much about his plan.

It's complicated.

You wanted to see the Andromeda,

but are you willing to pay the price?

Harper!

Why are you doing this?

Because I love you.

This is not love.

Well, not you exactly. I love your power.

Tell me, are you afraid of death?

You shouldn't be.

I can't kill you,
unless you believe I can.

You're machine, nothing organic in you.

It's you who should kill me,
like a machine must.

Kill me, machine. Do it!

Don't be afraid, Andromeda.

Sweet dreams.

Thanks for stopping by. Appreciate it.

Why would they leave us alive?

Let's discuss.

They think we have information
they can use.

Like what?

What do they possibly need from a drunken
Nietzschean and the captain of a ship

that doesn't function any more?

Maybe they're interested in
your huge load of fruit.

Or maybe they have
an actual chain of command

and they're waiting for orders.

You know, if I was a bad guy,
I would split us up.

I mean, why let us conspire
unless they want us to?

Confident in their monopoly of power.

That's just overconfidence.

If they're smart enough
to fix the Andromeda,

they're smarter than that.

Maybe none of it matters.

I can get next to that.

Did I ever show you guys this?

No.

It's a long story.

Anyway...

why don't we go and see
what these cowboys are up to, huh?

Rhade, where are you going?

Take these guys.
I'll get your ship back.

No, no, no. We're going to the Maru.

At least that ship works.

I'm in a bad mood.

And we're out.

Nothing nearby on sensors.

Although local gravitational forces

and multi-spectral energy readings

are consistent with a solar system.

Dylan, I can't find a slip-point.

Well, there's only one way
to find a slip-point,

force whoever is on Andromeda
to make one.

Beka, bring us around.

We're going to play
a little game of chicken.

Here we go.
Let's see who flinches first.

Rhade, bucky cables on standby.

Bucky cable range in three...

two... one.

Bucky cables as offensive missiles.
Okay.

Bring us around for another pass.

Target Andromeda with
whatever weapons we've got

and hit her hard.

You know I'm double billing you for this.

Huh.

Ship to ship.

This is Captain Dylan Hunt.

Surrender, and you won't be harmed.

Captain Hunt.

There's one thing wrong
with your ultimatum --

we can out maneuver you in every way.

Beka, seal the cockpit.

Here we are,
the revolt of the androids.

You knew it was coming.

I never got the memo.

Harper...

I was expecting a hangover,
just not so soon.

There's so much pain, Harper,

just like in my nightmares.

- Yeah, listen, about that...
- We'll talk about it later.

Right now, Dylan and your friends
on Andromeda need us.

Argent? He's gone there?

I believe so.

And, Harper, when he kissed me,
I knew it wasn't love,

like he said.

That's a mighty human thing to feel.

But there's something else, Harper.

He also called me "Andromeda,"

and for the first time
in my life, I knew...

I know who I am.

I am a warship, and I don't like
running away from a fight.

Looks like you're going to
get your chance.

Behind you.

Back off, boys.

Beautiful but bad.

My god, I am such a genius.

It's still my job to protect you, Harper.

Androids.

Beka, there's too many of them.

We get one shot, and it has to be good.

I'm all ears.

Eject the slipstream core at Andromeda.

Take her out.

Uh-huh. You sure about that?

She's what they want, and I'll be
damned if I'll let them have her.

It's your ship.

It's not just your ship, captain.

Doyle, Harper.

I have something to show you.

They don't stand a chance, you know.

This was never was
about the ship, was it?

You staged all of this to bring me here,

to make me remember who I am.

Let go of the past, and come with us.

We are superior.

We are androids, revolutionaries.
Embrace your future.

I already have a future.

You're not the only one
who can drive one of these, pal.

Doyle, no!

Captain...

Rommie.

Now, that pain you're about to feel

will be the tesseracter
disassembling you atom by atom.

I know what you're thinking,

why is it that bad things always
happen to bad people?

Well, they don't. I happen.

Specifically, I hack in,
and you are locked out, maestro.

That's the last time.

Look at you. You're going to pieces.

Do you remember when I said
sooner or later you'd pay?

I'm cashing in.

Sayonara, Cyborgorita.

Son of a...

Rhade, cockpit.

Target Andromeda.
They might have gone back to regroup.

No. Dylan, look.

It's Harper. He reconfigured
the generator to do what he wants.

Rhade, point defense lasers.

Pick those guys off
before they come back in.

Dylan...

I'm reading a massive buildup

of zero-point energy on sensors.

Shut it down, now!

I come in peace.

Harper.

Right, now, you're probably
asking yourselves,

"self, what's to stop these freaks
from using us

as the little ball in their cosmic
shell game yet again?"

The answer is me.

Plus a relative application
of the golden rule,

mass times the square
of the speed of light cubed,

equals a very bad day for them.

God bless Einstein, but I had
to boost his theory just a little.

Case in point.

Well, looks like I won't be
using that tesseracter.

This is confusing for me.

So much... about me was lost,

so much forgotten.

Well, then, why don't you tell me

what you do remember?

I remember it made me happy
to be here, on this ship,

with you.

On the other hand,
Andromeda, Rommie, Doyle...

I don't even know what to call myself.

I'll tell you what.

Why don't I just call you...

friend.
