(dramatic music)
ANNOUNCER: Welcome to Reno7,
the biggest space station in the universe.
Ugh, what a dump.
Can't even get decent proto-champagne here.
This place is useless.
Fancy a drink, sailor?
Scotch, no ice, please.
You know, my mum always told me
that you can tell the character of a man
by what he drinks,
and that is a real man's drink.
So, um,
are you a real man?
Well, ma'am, I'd like to think so.
(laughs)
Oh, don't be so modest.
I can tell the real thing when I see it.
And I should know,
I'm married to a cheap copy.
Well, that's too bad.
Yeah, absolutely.
I mean, look at me.
All this wasted on less than half a man.
Of course, he's loaded.
I could have anything a girl could want.
Well, almost.
(laughs)
You here long.
A little while.
Get some parts for my ship.
How about you?
Mm, old man's here on business.
Can you believe he hauled my million dollar butt
all the way over from Saturn City
to look at some crappy old ship
that he's just bought?
As if that's gonna impress me.
(laughs)
They with you?
DANTE: My crew.
Yeah, right.
You'll have to excuse me, ma'am.
Duty calls.
Whiskey, no ice.
So, how long have you two been here?
Long enough to see you try
and get luck with slutty face.
Yes, almost got myself in trouble there.
Yeah.
So what about the spare parts?
Oh, I don't...
Tomorrow?
Maybe?
Come on,
I don't want to spend another day here.
Why?
There's plenty of things to see
and people to do here.
(laughs)
(electronic beeps)
CAR: Urgently request your return
to the Tulip immediately.
We have unscheduled visitors on board.
What kind of unscheduled visitors?
CAR: No, no don't touch that.
We'd better get back.
Yeah.
Bye, have fun with your crew.
(theme music)
(dramatic music)
You're gonna have to hurry up
if you want to make those completion bonuses.
Harry, how are you doing?
No, looking very good.
I think we're gonna be cash flow positive
by the second quarter.
Who the hell are you?
What are you doing on my ship?
I'll be with you in a minute, Admiral.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, be careful with that.
It cost me more than the bloody ship did.
(laughs)
Yeah, Harry, what have I told you?
Don't worry about the prison hold.
I've got my man in there.
Hey, hey, hey, what happened to my AI?
What the hell are you doing on my ship, buddy?
Hey, I asked you what you're doing
on my ship, pal?
Harry, I've got to get back to you.
Something has just come up.
You must be Dante Montana.
You've got that right.
Yeah, I've heard a lot about you from Rudolpho.
I don't believe a word of it.
Now, look, how much do you want
to come work for me?
Name your salary.
What?
I'm talking about a career move.
I mean, you don't want to be
a two bob bounty hunter all your life, do you?
I'm offering you a ground floor opportunity
with Super Max Corrections.
We're a young but very aggressive player
in the private prisons business.
Rudolpho sold you the Tulip?
Oh, you catch on quick.
Here, sign that.
You have to owned and bonded to work for me.
I mean I trust you completely,
but my legal people sweat the small details.
You can either come over with your crew
to Super Max Corrections
or you can take the severance pay
that Rudolpho was offering, and, frankly,
it's an insult.
If I was you, I'd jump at the opportunity.
Become part of the Super Max vision,
part of the Super Max team,
and we're gonna be number one
in the market place.
For you guys, that means stock options,
private benefits, fast track career moves,
and, for you, I'm offering you
the number one position on the Tulip
once she's renovated.
Warden Montana, like the sound of that?
Prison ship?
Oh, hold that thought.
Gotta take this call.
Hiya, yeah, how ya doing?
Do you know what he's done?
This is utterly insane.
Rudolpho sold it right out from under us.
Well, don't worry, he can't do that.
Well, technically he can.
Legally, he owns the Tulip.
Oh.
What are we gonna do?
Get Car back online.
Let's start there.
Let's get to the bridge.
(dramatic music)
CAR: Incoming transmission from Rudolpho.
I hope you get this message
before you do anything stupid, Montana.
I've sold the Tulip
to Super Max Corrections, Inc.
The new hot shot prison outfit.
Yeah, I know.
Thanks for telling us.
It's just business, Montana.
What you were paying to lease the ship
was peanuts compared to what they offered.
And you know me.
Can't pass up a good deal, right?
Or a bad one.
Now listen, Dante.
Max has big plans for the ship.
And if you play your cards right,
he'll be good to ya.
You'll have a chance to make something
of yourself.
I'm gonna have to take his life.
It looks like this Max guy
really does hold the title to the Tulip.
It's all legal and binding.
He can't; I need this ship.
I'll contact the Order first chance.
I'm sure they'll help.
Dante, Dante.
Cheer up.
This is not the end of your dream.
This is the beginning of a much bigger dream.
It's huge.
PERCY: Hey.
Don't mind, girl, I,
I know what I'm doing.
CAR: Installation compete.
Conducting full audit of ship's operations.
Reporting gross errors and inefficiencies.
Costs can be cut by 60-70%
be end of fiscal year.
What the hell did you do to him?
He's my fiscal engineer.
That's disgusting.
Imagine the impact he's gonna have
on the bottom line.
I mean, you've been running this thing
into the red, Dante.
It's not your fault.
You don't have a head for business.
Obviously.
But at Super Max Corrections, we believe
in putting a round peg into a round hole.
That's why I'm sure you'll make
a terrific warden.
I'm not a goddam prison guard.
How about a little incentive?
Say 1,000 credits?
As a signing on bonus.
Look, I don't care what those papers say.
This is my ship,
and you're out of here, pal.
You're making a big mistake.
Look, I can have my people come down here
and clear you out.
But I, I did you the courtesy of coming down here
personally and offering you a future
with Super Max Corrections, and, well,
your response is highly unprofessional.
Shut up, shut up, and move it.
Move, come on, let's go.
(door whirs)
CAR: Budget control.
This delay is costing us 5,000 credits
per standard solar minute.
Percy, jump that bean counter
and get Car back, please.
You're not making a very good impression
on your new employer.
Tell these people to pack up and clear out.
The job's canceled.
Get out.
Get off my ship.
Go, go.
(fists smack)
(barrels rattle)
All right, all right,
do as he says.
That's an order.
(door whooshes)
Dante, you just gotta get-
Prepare for manual disengagement.
Dante, you just gotta get used to the idea
you're working for me now.
(door whooshes)
(dramatic music)
Green oh-seven, request flight clearance.
CAR: Warning, you are committing
a code four property crime.
Shut up.
RADIO: The Tulip is under a no-go order
issued by the new owner,
Super Max Corrections, Incorporated.
Screw it, we're going anyway.
Percy, release magnetic coupling.
Ah, I can't.
We're locked in.
Maneuvering rockets on low power, maybe?
I don't think that's a good idea.
Any thoughts?
Let's record a transmission
to that scum-sucker Rudolpho, please.
Go ahead.
Rudolpho, I still have six months
on the lease of this ship,
and you are legally bound to honor that contract.
You're not gonna get away with this crap.
End transmission, please.
That was beautifully put, uncle.
I think so.
CAR: Station ordering all non-essential
life support systems down.
Ain't this a kick in the head?
PERCY: Ew.
(door whooshes)
We're always looking for people,
people who want to share the Super Max vision.
Max, you take this ship out without me
and I'll kill you.
I think this gentleman's threatening me.
Oh, and by the way, Dante,
I don't want you on my team.
In fact, you're lucky I don't have you arrested.
Yeah, I feel real lucky, Max.
You're the one that made this personal,
not me.
Come on, boys.
We've gotta be inmate ready in a couple of days.
(dramatic music)
(door whooshes)
(computer beeps)
Hello?
New Craft City?
What do you have for under 50K?
RADIO: You want that with an engine, pal?
Well, what about that line of credit
in my business account?
FEMALE: I'm sorry, sir.
That account has been terminated.
(computer beeps)
Dammit.
Yes, I'd like to inquire about purchasing
a bounty hunting license.
MALE: I can put you on a waiting list.
No, I don't have time for that.
How about a temporary one?
MALE: Are you kidding?
You have a better chance of getting
a New Mars City cab license.
Thanks for nothing.
What are you doing?
We've been ordered off the ship.
We're not going anywhere.
What do you mean?
You have a plan?
Well,
yeah.
I think what we need is a technical accident.
A big technical accident that would take
a long time to fix.
A technical accident?
As in stall for time and hit him in the wallet.
I get it.
Make Max think twice about his investment.
Exactly.
And while you're arranging this little disaster,
Luc and I will pretend to play ball with Max
and go to work for him, okay?
Yeah, how hard could that be?
I'm already pretending to work for you.
(suspenseful music)
(metal knocks)
Excuse me?
May I have a moment of your time, sir?
Take it easy.
I just want to apologize for my behavior earlier.
But come one, Max,
you gotta understand.
Stranger comes on your ship,
you defend your ship.
It wasn't a personal issue with us.
And I realize that you are now the legal owner
of the Tulip.
I gotta accept your authority, which I do.
I also want you to know that we reconsidered
the offer you made to give me and my crew jobs.
You're absolutely right.
I was born and raised to be a prison warden.
Now, Luc here has had extensive military training
so we know how to handle criminals.
It'd be a big asset, Max,
and I speak on behalf of the entire crew.
We want to be a part
of the Super Max Corrections team.
Really?
With my military background,
I know a well run operation when I see one,
and this one is very, very impressive.
Well, at Super Max we try harder.
Oh, it shows.
So, what do you say, Max?
I mean, we could be very useful to you
in refitting the ship.
We know every inch of her,
and we can help save you time and trouble.
Not to mention credits.
Well, if you're sincere about joining Super Max,
and I think you are,
welcome to the team.
Fantastic, Max.
You will not regret this.
I guarantee it.
Welcome aboard.
There's just one thing about your niece, sir.
I don't think I can use her as a guard.
Oh, you know what?
She'd be really good at maintenance.
Engineering?
No, no, no, janitorial.
Oh, all right.
Well, we at Super Max like to take care
of our people and their dependents.
We value our employees like family.
(gate whirs)
Nice cage.
Working golden time, hey guys?
Ain't no golden time, honey.
We got a schedule to meet.
What a cute little console.
It's preset at the factory.
We just do the installation.
Right.
Contractor low-balled the G circuits.
Ciao.
22 high risk convicts who will serve
the remainder of their time
on the Super Max Corrections facility
at a cost of 37,000 credits per head per hour.
Oh, sorry, Dante, but
as the CEO of this operation,
I get to claim the big chair whenever I'm aboard.
But, hey, you're welcome to it
any other time, big guy.
Yeah, sure, boss.
Whatever you say.
Okay, well we're scheduled to pick up
the first load of convicts tomorrow, 1800 hours.
If we're late, penalty clauses kick in.
So, let's hit the gas people.
(door whooshes)
Bloody hell, Max.
Is this thing actually going to fly?
Dante, Luc, meet my lovely wife, Zelda.
Oh.
(laughs)
And I thought you were here just for parts.
Funny, so did it.
You two know each other?
Yep.
But they stayed on from the old crew,
and, honey, they've got the vision.
The Team Max vision.
Oh, he's got a one track mind.
Unfortunately, it's the wrong track.
Oh, now, sweetie, that's not true.
Wow, love the uniform, Dante.
Then again, I've got a real thing about uniforms.
They're like an aphrodisiac for me.
Isn't that right, Max?
Why don't you get settled
in our quarters, honey?
And I'll be along as soon as
this thing's in the air.
Okay.
I hope this things can achieve lift-off
faster than its new owner can.
Why don't we all get together
later this evening, you know,
to build Team Super Max spirit
by getting to know each other?
All right, what he means is,
let's get drunk together.
No, that's not what I mean.
Why don't we meet for dinner?
In the galley.
I'll get our cook to prepare something.
Your cook?
Oh yeah, sweetie.
Never leave home without one.
Always nice to have a good feast inside you
to keep a girl happy.
(laughs)
(saxophone music)
Nice girl.
(suspenseful music)
(door whooshes)
Valence grid, yeah.
Bye bye.
(circuits hiss)
(box thuds)
(panel rattles)
Yep, our chef is a wizard
with the old proto-protein.
Isn't he, honey?
Hm-mm.
You know, this is great.
We're all bonding in together
on like a human level so we can work
toward our corporate goals.
Honey, could you pass another bottle?
We seem to be running dry here.
Oh, sure.
You know I can't remember the last time
I had real champagne.
It's (mumbles).
Only the best, hey, Zelda?
From your private cellar?
Yeah, of course.
Zelda never goes away from home
without that either, do you darling?
(laughs)
Anyway, I think I was saying about
the prison business being a people business.
Talking of people then,
are you two together?
No.
Yes.
You know, not exactly.
You know, when people work together
and live together...
Sometimes it can get to be
too much togetherness.
(laughs)
Familiarity breeds contempt.
You can say that again.
I wouldn't exactly call it contempt,
would you, dear?
No, sweetums, not exactly.
You know, I think we can use
that organic link in the new setup.
I mean, you've got Dante, Chief Warden,
Luc, Sergeant of the A-Team ship.
I mean, it's perfect.
We save on the training and recruitment costs,
and we get loyalty at a discount.
It's a win-win deal all the way around.
Max, I thought this evening was about
getting to know the new people.
So, Dante.
Max tells me you're a bounty hunter.
That sounds exciting.
Used to be a bounty hunter, darling.
They work for me now.
Talking of work-
For god's sake, don't you ever get
sick and tired of the sound of your own voice?
Are we gonna have to listen to your goddam
sales pitching all night?
So, bounty hunting?
It's a dangerous business.
Do you like danger, Dante?
Well, actually I was just looking
for a job where the customer's always wrong.
(laughs)
But Luc here is with the Authority
Special Forces Black Operations.
Now that's dangerous.
Yeah, yes, yes.
I was with the special forces.
That's fascinating.
Oh, looking out for criminals, righting wrongs.
Oh my god, you're amazing.
Oh god, indeed he is.
(upbeat music)
(circuits hiss)
Oops.
Actually, bounty hunting isn't
all that romantic.
Yeah, do tell.
All that running around,
you know, following false leads,
a lot of wasted time for no return.
Yeah, bounty hunting's a low profit business.
I mean, it's got small margins.
It's a service industry.
But now corrections,
that's got a much bigger markup.
Of course, you need the initial investment
to get into the business in the first place.
You know, that's the important thing.
Having that capital investment.
Max, is it always about money with you?
Well, it has to be, doesn't it,
the way you keep spending it.
Mr. Bounty Hunter.
I used to be a dancer.
Really, what kind?
The kind that picks up tips.
Very exotic.
Very athletic if you know what I mean.
You can say that again.
When I first met her, she's working
the sleaze circuit around Saturn City.
Actually, I was working my way through school.
I had big plans before I met you.
Until I dragged you out of the gutter.
Max, you were nothing until you met me.
You were selling bootlegged computer chips
for chump change.
Oh, it's always about Max, isn't it?
Oh, the big businessman.
He always treats me like I've got no brain.
I'm more than just a body, you know.
I have needs that go beyond the mere physical.
Oh, so it was mental simulation
that rugby team was giving you, was it?
Shut up, Max.
Come on, Zelda.
We're all tired here.
If you were more of a man,
you'd know how I feel.
Now, now, Zelda.
How would you feel if your husband
couldn't get it up for years?
Years?
Don't let her get to you, boss.
She's drinking.
That's easy for you to say.
Oh, poor thing.
I'd better go check on her.
Years?
How about a cigar, boss?
(panel crashes)
(Percy hums)
(Percy sighs)
Oops.
Bloody men.
(door beeps)
Come in.
(door whooshes)
What do you want?
Um, you seemed very upset back there,
so I thought maybe you would like to talk.
You know, like friends.
I got over it.
Okay.
Stay strong.
Sweetheart?
Can I give you a word of advice?
Yeah, sure, sure.
It's just that you don't look
like you're satisfying your man.
So if you don't, I will.
(laughs)
Oh dear, dear, you don't understand at all.
The thing about me and Dante-
Yeah, whatever.
Get out.
No, you see the thing-
Get out.
Out.
We'll get over this little episode,
Zelda and me.
We always do.
She's the only thing that keeps me human.
I can see what you mean.
She seems like a very talented girl.
She's a real beaut.
And she's sharp as a whip.
Very easy on the eye.
You're all right, Montana.
A company called Super Max Corrections
has taken over the ship.
Check it out for me.
And also, do a background check
on the CEO and his wife.
End transmission.
(door whooshes)
Hang tight, Car, it's just me.
CAR: Security breach.
Sh.
CAR: Authorized personnel only
permitted on the bridge.
Oh, the betrayal.
Access denied.
I repeat, access denied.
Access, thank you for helping Super Max
achieve its goals.
Access.
MAX: I think I'll go check on the crew.
CAR: Super Max.
See how the renovations are going on.
See these doors?
Yeah?
Titanium.
Oh, yeah?
Is that important?
Much stronger than composite,
I'll tell you that.
Yeah?
(door whooshes)
It's good to have you back, Car.
So if I had two more ships in my fleet,
I reckon I'll be able to retire in five years.
(alarm blares)
Montana, what's that?
Well, I don't know.
CAR: Engine room reports reactor one down.
Magnetic fuel containment has failed.
Major damage to the coolant system.
How much damage?
I mean, what's to gonna cost?
CAR: Unable to assess cost analysis.
Ship's a piece of crap.
It always has been.
All right, all right,
well, whatever the problem is,
find a solution fast.
We're behind schedule.
Hey boss, we don't have the equipment
to fix a reactor failure.
We've gotta go back to Reno7
for that kind of work.
Sorry.
CAR: I regret to confirm this prognosis.
It's the only option if we wish
to fulfill the contract.
All right, turn the ship around.
I'll do it right away.
I'll be on the bridge.
(door whooshes)
(bottle squirts)
(door whooshes)
Oo.
You wouldn't happen to know anything
about a magnetic containment failure
in the number one reactor, would you?
Nope.
I didn't think so.
Keep on cleaning.
I don't know anything about a digital tapeworm
in the prison control center, either.
Sexy vest.
Of course you don't.
(door whooshes)
Oo, goodie.
Where's Max?
Shuttle bay.
Good.
So, Dante.
I was wondering,
what would you do if you had all of Max's money?
Well, Zelda, what I want money can't buy.
Oh, you mean the love a good woman?
Someone a little warmer
than your ricey soldier girl, right?
Luc?
Yeah, whatever.
Okay, Zelda, come on.
What are you really after?
Look, Dante.
You might be fooling Max with your stupid little
male bonding act, but you're not fooling me.
You just wanna get your ship back, right?
Hm-mm.
Well, I can help you.
How's that?
I have resources, let's say.
I could buy this dump for you.
You just get me out of here,
and you get me away from Max.
You be good to me, and I'll be good to you.
And I'll make that a promise, baby.
So, um, you think about, yeah?
But don't think about it too long.
(laughs)
(dramatic music)
So you have that part?
RADIO: Yes, sir.
Great, I'll take it.
As a matter of fact, I'll take three.
RADIO: That will be costly.
Yeah, I know how much they cost,
and I said I'll take three
of the most expensive ones you've got.
RADIO: Yes, sir.
Invoice Super Max Corrections.
Thank you very much.
Authority just checked them out,
and bankruptcy is eminent.
Apparently Max expanded too fast
and now he's in debt in a big way,
and his creditors want their money yesterday.
No wonder he's cutting costs, the little rat.
Dangerous thing to do with prisons, isn't it?
Oh, good.
Do you want a drink?
I'd love one, yeah.
I wasn't talking to you.
LUC: I knew that.
See you back at the ship.
So, you thought about it?
You gonna get me away from Max?
I've been thinking about it a lot, Zelda.
I knew you would.
Here's to us.
Just think about it, Dante.
You and me, our own little ship
traveling across the universe
hunting down baddies with your big gun.
Cuddling up together on those cold long nights.
So how are you gonna get rid of Max?
Zelda, I've gotta be clear on a couple
of issues before I make a plan.
Oh?
I want some kind of assurance
that buying the ship isn't gonna be a problem.
Ah, you mean money.
I get you.
How much we talking about?
Don't you worry about it.
I've got a few credits stashed away.
And if I divorce Max, I get half the company.
And if Max disappears, I get the whole lot.
You know, I heard a rumor
that Super Max Corrections was in trouble.
Load of crap.
Where'd you hear that?
I'm a bounty hunter.
I have resources.
Yeah, well don't you worry about it.
Max is loaded.
How else do you think he can afford me?
CAR: Captain Montana, please return
to the ship.
Repairs are complete,
and we are ready for departure.
Gotta go.
We'll carry this on later.
(door whooshes)
So boss, we're a little behind schedule
on repairs, a little over budget.
But, hey, we are on our way.
Five hours behind schedule.
40% over budget.
You call that a little?
CAR: Zero zero zero one.
One zero zero zero one.
Now this AI's having software problems.
That is too bad.
To be honest, I'm beginning to find
all these system failures a bit
of a coincidence.
What about you, Montana?
You know, I talked to Rudolpho about that.
This is an old ship,
and it just keeps breaking down.
You don't think somebody's trying
to sabotage the ship, do you?
Like you?
Moi?
Why would I sabotage my future with Super Max?
I get paid twice what I did as a bounty hunter.
I've got my eye on you.
I've got nothing to hide, boss.
By the way, have you seen my wife lately?
Ah, earlier on her way to her quarters.
I've checked there already.
Check again.
I know, you've got your eyes on me.
(door whooshes)
Look where you going.
CAR: Captain, I urgently request
you order Percy to undo what she did.
Well, Car, you're back.
How nice.
She bypassed my truthfulness matrix
and programmed me to deceive Max
and other non-crew members until further notice.
Well, Percy never lets me down.
Well, listen, Car, we've gotta maintain
this deception a little longer, okay?
Very nice.
Very tasty.
Well, a lot of good it's gonna do me.
Don't be like that, honey.
Why can't we be like we used to be?
Remember how we used to be?
What, before you became
the three second wonder?
Are you in trouble, Max?
What do you mean, trouble?
Money, Max, money.
Dante says he's heard some rumors.
So it is true.
I've got a bit of a cash flow problem.
It happens.
So you haven't got any money?
It's always money with you, isn't it?
(laughs)
Well, I certainly didn't marry you
for your looks.
Or your talent in the bedroom.
(door whooshes)
Okay, deal 'em up.
(door whooshes)
Hey, deal me in, fellas.
MALE: Two credits the ante.
Two.
Hey, how about that boss's wife, huh?
She's a piece of work.
A real looker, don't you think?
You've got to be kidding.
You know the bitch is crazy.
A while back, she wanted
to kill her husband for her.
You're kidding.
Straight up.
Give me two.
And four and three and a two and a one.
(gate whirs)
CAR: Lockdown failure.
What the hell?
Do you think it's a drill?
Goddam piece of shit.
(computer beeps)
CAR: Lockdown failure zero zero zero.
Good thing this happened
before we took the lifers on, huh?
Better check the cells.
I've got a full house, come on.
What's going on here?
I don't know, boss.
Did you schedule a drill or something?
Your main control software
still has a few bugs.
We can't take any violent criminals on
until the lockdown system's online.
I can't afford this.
You're gonna have to go back to Reno7
and do a full systems review.
No, no, no, no, we're going to Transit Cam
to pick up the convicts.
You do what you can to sort out the system,
but no more delays.
I don't know about that, boss.
I don't feel too comfortable about it.
How about you?
Well, I don't give a damn
about your comfort levels.
We're going in.
I guess I better talk to him.
Well, Percy's tapeworm just burrowed home.
There's no way the prison authority
will let Max take on these killer cons
with the lockdown system out.
We are gonna bleed him dry.
I talked to the Orchard.
They're gonna have the banks call in his loans.
Better yet, by the time we're done with Max,
he's gonna pay us to take the ship back.
What do you mean you're calling in the loan?
I'm sorry, sir.
Your payments have been delinquent.
I've been doing business
with First Saturn for years.
So what if I'm a little late?
Sir, your loan has been in arrears
for over 12 months.
(computer beeps)
You miss 12 or 15 payments
and suddenly you're some bum on the street.
Montana's behind this.
Okay, go to manual.
That will be good enough to keep the cons
inside for about eight hours.
Go, go, go.
(door whooshes)
Hey, you blinking.
Get me the warden at transit camp 101.
We're going in.
(door whooshes)
(jazz music)
Zelda, what are you doing in here?
A girl can get lonely a million miles
away from home.
What's the matter, sweetie?
You've been ignoring me lately.
Come on, put some clothes on
for crying out loud.
What's the matter with you?
I just can't help myself, Dante.
Oh, I want you so bad.
Yeah, well you've got the wrong man.
Listen, sweetie, we had a deal.
You get rid of Max, and I buy the ship for you.
Let me tell you something, sweetie.
Your little Maxie's up to his motormouth in debt.
He doesn't have a dime to give you
even if he does disappear.
Oh, I can make you so happy, Dante.
I'm no interested, okay?
I'll kiss you.
Don't make a fool of yourself, Zelda.
Don't you dare speak to me like that.
What are you?
We had a deal.
Woman, what's the matter with you?
You're a dead man.
Max, he tried to rape me.
Nothing happened.
Take him out.
(gun flashes)
(Dante groans)
I knew he was trouble.
Oh, Max, it was terrible.
STATION: Approaching transit camp 101.
Authority Department of Corrections.
All unauthorized personnel turn back now.
GUARD: Ten-four.
Manual override's in place.
We're secure.
Code green.
You know I didn't do anything to Zelda.
You know she's nuts.
Let me out of here.
Sorry, man.
No can do.
I still work for Super Max.
And besides, I'm getting paid triple time
to keep an eye on you.
(footsteps depart)
It was awful.
(cries)
It was awful.
I was getting undressed for bed, and
he came in, and
he attacked me.
He's bad news, honey.
They all are.
They've been trying to screw up
since the first day we got here.
Well, that's it.
No more Mr. Nice Guy.
What are you gonna do to Montana?
I don't know.
But as far as I'm concerned, he's a criminal.
And he should be punished.
What do you think I should do?
I don't know.
Kill him?
Honey, don't you think that's a bit extreme?
After what he did to me?
Don't you think he deserves to die?
If you were a real man, you'd make him pay
for what he did to me.
All right, honey.
Don't worry, I'll take care of it.
(door whooshes)
(laughs)
(door whooshes)
Get dressed, you're under arrest.
For what?
We'll think of something.
(dramatic music)
(door bangs)
Where's Percy?
I don't know.
Ah, Montana.
You look right at home in there.
For Christ sake, Max, she's lying.
She set me up.
Shut up.
This is false imprisonment.
You're lucky I just don't kill you now.
But I'm not like you, Montana.
I'm a civilized man.
So I'm just gonna leave you to rot in here
until I decide to hand you over
to the authorities.
But why'd you lock Luc up?
She didn't do anything.
She's a saboteur.
So is that little niece of yours,
the baby genius.
Wait until I get my hands on her.
She's cost me a bundle.
You lay one finger on her and I'll kill you,
you son of a bitch.
Don't you threaten me.
You should have thought about that
before you attacked my poor Zelda.
I didn't attack her.
CAR: Nearing transit camp.
Controller is requesting docking protocol.
Got some company for you.
Scum of the universe, just like you.
We've gotta get out of here
before the ship docks.
(door whooshes)
(dramatic music)
CAR: This is
Super Max Corrections Incorporated
requesting permission to dock
with Transit Camp 101.
STATION: Oh, yeah, Super Max.
This is 101 Control.
Stand by.
We have a bit of a situation here.
Code blue.
101, you're in riot mode?
Confirm.
Roger that.
The boys in D Block decided
to throw a little fit.
Just stand by.
We'll bring you in when we can.
Friendly warning,
these guys are pretty high maintenance.
Check.
Our facility is totally up
to Authority specification
for maximum security inmate control.
100%.
Okay, Max, hang loose.
We'll get your cargo
as soon as we've got them under control.
Thanks, Harry.
And you'll get your cut.
Well, you heard him.
Right, boss.
We should run a test
on our emergency backup procedure.
On our new prisoners.
Dante and his friends.
All the way. But.
You know what I mean.
But they're-
Just do it.
(door whooshes)
What the hell you doing?
(flare sizzles)
(door whooshes)
(coughs)
It's StunIt.
It's not lethal in small doses.
Yeah, but how small is small?
You'd better get down.
Maxie?
(door whooshes)
What's up with them?
They're getting what they deserve.
What are you doing?
I'm being a real man.
That's what you wanted, isn't it?
CAR: Well, isn't this a fine state of affairs?
Car, get us out of here.
CAR: I'm having some trouble with the locks.
They've reprogrammed the codes.
It might take a minute.
(Luc coughs)
We don't have a minute.
You idiot.
Sweetheart, you said I should kill him.
You didn't think I meant it, did you?
Max, do something.
Well, it's too late.
Hey, but don't worry,
it'll look like an accident.
Faulty technology.
You're crazy.
Yeah, well I had a good teacher.
And the StunIt was your idea, remember?
I was moaning about the low ball rates
I was getting for when I was in the cons,
and you said you me, "Max,
why don't you just kill 'em and keep the money?"
And I didn't mean it that time, either.
And I'm thinking,
"The woman's a bleeding genius."
Now I remember why I married her.
Just shut up.
CAR: Hold on, Captain.
I think I've got it.
(coughs)
(gun fires)
(door whooshes)
Watch your step.
Come on, come on, hurry up.
(door whooshes)
Percy, you're great.
Give me the gun, please.
Oh, come on, I'm a hero.
Let's go.
Damn.
You are one lucky moron, Max.
Boys, we have a break out.
Use lethal force to subdue escaped prisoners.
Max, leave it already.
What's the matter, baby?
I'm just acting like a real man,
just like you wanted.
Oh, that is lovely, that is.
Oh, I knew you'd find some way to blame me
for all of this, you weak pathetic bastard.
Weak, me?
Yes, you are weak.
Pathetic, me?
Yes, you can hardly find the words to say,
can you?
(door whooshes)
(gun fires)
That was too easy.
Come on.
Face down on the floor, let's go.
Come on.
Luc, toss this idiots in the holding cell.
Perce, you're gonna have to do something
about that lock, okay?
Okay.
Where are you goin?
I'm want to give Max my resignation in person.
I always knew it would come to this.
You are nothing but a two bit crook
and a stupid one to boot.
I can't believe you actually thought
I wanted you kill someone.
You said-
Since when do you listen to what I say?
Hello?
Don't you make the perfect couple?
Oh, Dante.
Oh, thank god you're all right.
Drop the gun
or I really will shoot you, boy toy.
Oh, please.
I mean it, Zelda.
You pushed me too far this time.
I'm gonna show you who's boss.
You haven't got the balls.
There you go.
Keep yapping, and we'll see.
You are nothing but a weak, pathetic,
useless bastard nitwit.
There you go again.
I'm warning you, Zelda,
don't keep pushing me.
Don't keep pushing me.
If you were more of a man,
I wouldn't have to push.
I've give you everything you want, haven't I?
Yes.
Except the one thing I actually need.
What do you want from my, Zelda?
Nothing.
You're nothing but a great big-
(fist smacks)
(Max groans)
(laughs)
You bastard.
What have you done to my Maxie?
Maxie, baby, you all right?
I'm sorry, Zelda.
Oh, I'm sorry, too, baby.
(cries)
Come on, that's enough.
Come on.
Whenever you're ready, okay?
(door bangs)
Welcome to our joint, Max.
Not very high tech, but we like it.
I supposed a bribe is out of the question.
That's right.
However, there's no extra charge
for the honeymoon suite.
I never really wanted you, Montana.
I never really wanted you, either, Zelda.
Liar.
Car, set a course for Reno7.
We'll drop them off there,
let the Authority deal with them.
CAR: Aye aye, captain.
I suppose a bribe is out of the question.
Yeah, you got any better ideas?
Oh, shut up, Max, you're so stupid.
You always blame everything to me.
Just shut up, shut up.
It's your fault we're in this predicament.
You and your trap.
No, it's not, it's your fault.
See the world.
STATION: What's up Super Max?
I thought we had a deal.
Aren't you gonna pick up these lifers?
We've got the riot under control.
CAR: I'm sorry, sir.
We're no longer in the prison business.
Over and out.
Don't think of this as a problem.
View it as an opportunity.
Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up.
(Max and Zelda bicker)
She's kind of charming.
We can make another million.
Oh, and how are we gonna do that, little man?
Implants.
Incoming transmission from Rudolpho.
I'll get it later, Car.
What, I don't want to miss this.
Ten to one she knocks him out
before we hit Reno7.
ZELDA: I'm gonna kill you, Max.
ANNOUNCER: On the next Starhunter.
Oh.
I'm ready to kill you now.
It's not my time.
CAR: The theory that an infinite number
of universes or bubbles coexist
and even intersect
at an infinite number of points.
Oh, bubbles.
(dramatic music)
I'm trapped.
CAR: Hold on, Percy.
Hold on, help is coming.
(theme music)
