Titan A.E. (2000) Movie Script
Once in a great while,|mankind unlocks a secret so profound...
that our future|is altered forever.
Fire. Electricity.
Splitting the atom.
At the dawn of the 31st century,| we unlocked another.
It had the potential to change|humanity's role in the universe.
We called it the Titan project,|and it was a testament...
to the limitless power|of the human imagination.
Perhaps that is what|the Drej feared most,
for it brought them down|upon us without warning...
and without mercy.
Cale, that day, the day|the Drej descended from the sky,
the only thing that mattered| was keeping you safe.
Perfect!
Hey, stop!|Come on!
- Cale, are you all right?
I'm okay.
Dad,|my invention broke.
Well, then, we'll fix it together,|but not today, Cale. We have to go now.
Dad, where's|everybody going?
We're leaving too.|We all have to go somewhere safe.
Professor Tucker! The Drej|have reached the global defense system!
Come on, son.|Will we get the people away in time?
- Not if we sit here talking, sir.|- I wanna drive.
- When you're older, kid.|- I'm older than four.
- Hang on!
Whoa!
- Please|proceed to your designated-|- Is the Titan prepped?
-Just waiting for you, sir!|- Intelligence says the Drej|don't know the Titan's location,
or we would've|been hit already.
Let's pray|they're right!
Enemy warships|have entered our solar system.
Are we going in that?
- Wow!|- Cale,
I have to go|on a different ship.
- I have to go away for a while.
No, Dad! No!
- Tek is going to look after you.|- But I wanna go with you!
- Sir-|- I know.|It's not safe where I'm going.
-Sir! Professor!|- I'm coming!
Cale, here. Take this.|As long as you wear it, there's hope.
- I will see you again. I promise.|- Okay.
- Cale, it's time. Cale-|- No, it's not okay! It's not okay!
- Tek, keep him safe!|- Daddy!
- Korso, go!|- Come back!
-Evacuate! Evacuate!|- Godspeed, Sam Tucker!
Attention, pilots. Drej stingers are-
This is Tucker.|Bring me down.
Attention, pilots.
Drej stingers are attacking|the escape vehicles.
Okay. Are we all here?|Bobby, buckle up.
- Now, Sam. Now!|- Go, Dad! Go!
- Get out of there. Get out of there!|- Come on.
Lose my head to the chemical freeway
Comin' up on overload|Losing sure is easy, so lam no more
But I'm not broken
In my dream, I win
Out here, I'm nothing
A cosmic castaway
In my head I'm a chemical dreamer|Speed up to burn out mode
- Comin' up to fifth dimension|Beautify, don't crucify me
-So I need no mind game|poisoning my lonely soul|- Eat this.
-Losing sure is easy|so I am no more
-But I'm not broken
In my dream, I win
-It's lunch. One hour for lunch.|-And I take over
'Cause I'm no loser
-And I'm in and you're not|- Whoo! Whoo-hoo!
Bad dreams don't stop
But I'm all screwed up
A cosmic castaway, yeah
A cosmic castaway, yeah
A cosmic castaway
- How ya hittin' 'em, Chowquin?
- Hey- Chow- Chowquin.|- Wait.
Hey, it's me. It's Cale, all right?|I'm not with those losers.
Humans wait.
- Uppity Earth scum.
- Guess you're stuck with us losers.|- Don't count on it.
- You wait in line, pal.|I'm takin' the express.|- Cosmic castaway
- Yeah|- Go through the docks,|you'll get yourself killed.
Coward. You know, the odds of a ship|docking are a thousand to one.
- Yeah, a cosmic castaway|- And that would be the one.
Wow.
- Hi.
Mm-hmm.
Hey, wh- Hey!
Wow.
- We're locked down, Captain.
All right. Keep her hot.|I'll be in touch.
- How you doin' today? Workin'|hard, are you? Bon appetite.
Next! Keep the line moving.|Here you go.
- Akrennian Beetle Sushimi.|- You got ketchup?
Ketchup? Ketchup? You don't need|ketchup. Please, next. Move along.
He's a disgrace.|Those dirty humans.
Ketchup! Boy, some nerve,|human. Nice head, human.
I'm not askin' that much.|I'd just like them to kill my food|before they serve it to me.
- I do an honest day's work.|I want already dead food.
- Mm.|- Is that too much to ask?
- Do you hear a crackling sound?|- And what was up with Chowquin?
- You should've seen him.|- Ha-ha, not much chance of that.
- He was so out of control,|treatin' me like I'm some-|- Human?
Don't start with|that solidarity thing again.
- If you would study|human history as instructed,
you might realize you're not|alone out there, and you'd be|better prepared for the future.
- I'll tell you somethin'|about your famous future.|- Mmm.
Every day I wake up, it's still the|present, the same grimy, boring present.
I don't think|this future thing exists.
- Do you hear a crackling sound?
- Here we go.
- We gotta get outta this dump.|- Hold on, everybody! I got it!
Please don't panic.|Just think of it as floating time.|Two seconds. Everybody calm.
Ah. Just needed some love.
Let's get back to eatin' baby.
Okay. Well, I'm full.
Ohh.
- Hey, Cale.
- Firrikash.
Po, how's it floatin'?
- You pulled a nasty stunt back there.|- We don't like your attitude.
- You've been a little uppity.
Up-Up- Is that so? Well.|I'm gonna have to work on that.
- You wanna hunt humans, remember:|We travel in packs.
- What are you doing?|- It's commonly known as helping.
Yeah? Well, what for?
Sometimes, kid, people|just help each other out.
- Oh, right.
So you're gonna tell me|you don't want something in return?
- All right. Maybe I do.|- What a shock.
I want you to risk your life.|I want you to give up everything|you have to join the mission,
where you'll face terror and torture|and possibly gruesome death.
And I would|wanna do that because?
Because it's worth it.|Because the human race needs you.
Maybe you haven't|had a look around lately, but|there aren't many of us left.
At the rate we're going, they'll be|reading about us in textbooks...
- and displaying our bones|in alien museums.
- Yeah, well, having your planet|blown up can have that effect.
But maybe I've been wrong all|these years, and it took your|inspiring speech to make me see.
You've really changed me.|It's beautiful.
I think|we've gotta hug.
- Oh, man.|They've really ground you down.|- Hey, get this straight.
I don't even know you.|I don't want any part of your mission,
Oh, okay.
- I think he called you morons.
- Whoa!|- Korso.
Captain, this is Akima.|We are not alone.
Are we in good company?
That's a negative,|Captain.
I think we've fallen in|with a very bad crowd.
Roger that.|Let's prep for departure.
Tek, I need to be scarce|for a while.
- You don't know the half of it.|- Ha-ha.
Are you still bothering people?|Hey, go away.
Great job with the kid, Tek.|He's a charmer.
I expected you to take him|off my hands a lot sooner.
- Tek, wait.|Who is this? You know him?|-Joseph Korso.
- Tek, wait.|Who is this? You know him?|-Joseph Korso.
- I was with your father|on the Titan project.|- My father.
- I don't have a father.|You brought this guy here?
- Yes.|- I don't understand. Why?
You still got that ring|your father gave you?
- Give it to me.|- Hey, give it back!
- Cale-|- Shh.
- Ahh.
Ah. Here.
- Put it on.|- Hmm.
- How did- How did you-|- It's a storage device.
It's genetically encrypted to your|father, and therefore, to you.
It's a map, Cale.
It can tell us|where your father hid the Titan.
That's why I've spent|the last 15 years lookin' for ya.
That ship means everything.|Humanity depends on you finding it.
Me?|Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Me? No, no, no.|I'm not- Tek, listen,
there must|be someone better.
It's time, Cale.|It's time to stop running.
- Well, actually,
I think it's time|to start.
Drej.|What do they want?
They want you, kid.|Same way I want you, only dead.
How do you know|they want me dead?
I'm convinced.
We gotta get|to the kitchen.
- Korso, the gravity drive!
- You ready?|- Tek, I'll lead you in.
- I'll stay here.|- Tek, you can't.
Take care of the kid.|He's not all grown up yet.
- No, no, no, no. You're coming.|- Go, Cale. I'll read about you.
Follow me!
Whoa!
- Well, this would be good|if we had any baking to do.
Oh, my food!|You guys are- You're terrible.
You're unsanitary.|Ooh, I hope that they catch you,
and I'll test if ya gainst you,|and you'll never get out of jail.
- Hey, you'll get|all the ketchup you want.
- Drej! Ooh, I gotta go now.|- Follow ugly!
Oh, great. Yeah, no one would ever|think of looking for us in the vent.
Go!
- Go! Go!
He's the big- I'm not supposed to be here!|Come on! I'm just a cook!
How do I get out of here? How do I get|out? Why is this happening tome?
Stupid- Please- Stupid- No!
Hi. They went right down there.|They came into my kitchen and-
Bull's-eye.
We gotta|get outta here.
Go!
Go! Run!
- Over.|- Huh?
- Maybe next time, kid.|- Hey, I can fly it too.
- It won't start.
I got an idea.
Give it a shot.|Whoa!
Ow!
- Hang on, kid. I'm comin'.
Heads up!
They're|locking down the doors!
- Not going forward. Going up.|- Up?
Move it!
- You should brace yourself.|- Uh, yeah. I'm feeling that.
Eject. Hey, where's the eject?|Cale? Cale?
This model does|have eject, right?
And you were worried.
What do you mean, "were"?
- Akima, we need a pickup.|- A little late for that.
- I'm right|above you. Can you get to me?|- Not enough time.
Not-Not-|Not a lot of time.
- Exhale.|- You gotta be kidding.
- Exhale.|- Oh, no, no, no, no!
Comeback down to Earth, oh, yeah
Comeback down to Earth|Comeback down to Earth
Oh, yeah|Comeback down to Earth
- Is it dead? Can we eat it?
No, it's not dead.
Who are you?|Go away.
- Hey, what's going on?|- Preed, you're in my light.
Ah, such motherly concern|for the subject.
- Why am I naked?|- Why, you positively glow|with maternal warmth, Akima.
It's very fetching.|I must have you.
- In your dreams.|- Akrennians don't dream, remember?
- They don't bathe much, either.|- I'm still naked here.
I hadn't noticed. Now, hold still, or|you'll lose something really important.
- Hand me the probe.|- The probe? Uh,|-where does the probe go?
You know, I'm really feeling|much better. Aah! Hey!
This is just great.|Cross half the galaxy,
nearly get our butts|shot off by the Drej,
just so we can|rescue the window washer.
Hey, for your information, I happen|to be humanity's last great hope.
- I weep for the species.|- You're fine.
I mean, I'm the guy with the map here.|This is big medicine, right?
Big medicine? Let me see.
This is really it?|This can save us?
Huh? Yeah, I guess.
- Do you know what this means?
Um, I'm really wanting those pants|right about now.
Akima, my pet, if the boy isn't|at death's door,
Korso wants Gune to check the map|so we can set a course.
Do you mind?|Are we through pawing?
- This is the Valkyrie,|not a singles bar.|- We're done.
You know,|I never said I was gonna help you guys.|We never addressed what's in it for me.
- Why, you get to be a hero.|- A hero? Come on.
I mean, there must be something on the|Titan worth selling or trading or-
What? We're gonna risk our necks|to help a bunch of Drifter Colony bums?
- Where are my pants?
- Guess where Akima grew up.|- Drifter Colony?
- Yes. The boy learns.|- Wait. What's your-
Preed, wait up! Look.|Where's Korso? I wanna talk to him.
I believe he's in Navigation.|We're headed there now.
- You wanna watch|who you're steppin' on.
Or you'll what?
- Ah, the lovely and talented Stith.|This is Cale.
- You remember- Cale.|- No, no, no, no, no. Cannot talk.
We lost targeting on one|of our aft gun turrets again!
What? Think|this is a pleasure cruise?
She's a sweet little thing.|Weapons specialist.|Normally, she's very good-natured.
Great!|Things aren't bad enough!
- Tools all over the floor!|- Fight the good fight, precious.
Preed, I'll kill you. Okay?|I will kill you.
I am educated and well-read!|lam not mechanic!
- I have my pride! - Gune? Guney? Are you in there?
...by the acceleration, multiplied|by the coefficient of the friction...
and apply necessary force.
- Gune?|- Ooh.
- Look at that.|- Does this look familiar?|Do you know what it is?
Apparently, I used Gindrogac-|highly unstable.
- Gune.|- I put a button on it, yes.
I wish to press it, but I'm not sure|what will happen if I do.
- Let me see, now. Three, five,|twenty-two, seventy-four,
- eleven-
- No. Careful.
- It's perfect.|- Ho, yes!
- Hey.|- Perfect! You fixed it!
- So, where are we now?
We are here, right here-|Bellasan Quadrant.
About three million keks from Tau 14.|Why? Are you homesick?
- Gotta have a home for that.|- Mmm.
Translucent bipedal|mesomorphic embryonic male.
Yes, yes, yes. This is all very|fascinating, but take a look at this.
- It's a map. Can you read it?|- Can I read it?
Of course I can read it.|Yes. Hmm.
- So, what do you see?|- Ah!
- Yes, this is Pl'ochda.
- And this- this-|this is... Solbrecht!
And this- And this-|And this- What is this?
- That's, uh- That's lunch.|- What's lunch?
- Mmm.
Spaghetti derivative, meatballs- sort|of, anyway- and Caldoch droppings.
- Who ate it before you did?|- Hey, hey!
Ahh!
- Tell you a secret. This guy's nuts.|- Tell you another.
He's never wrong.|Where are we going, Gune?
Ahh, the broken moon|of Sesharrim.
Only 13.000 keks away.
- Have Akima lay in a course.|- We're on our way.
- What's on Sesharrim, anyway?|- The Gauol, an ancient race.
- Great.|- This isn't a joy ride, kid.
When the Drej destroyed Earth,|they figured life adrift in space...
would break us down,|wipe us out.
Do you really want|those vile creatures to be right?
-Just lay down and die?|- A little late.
About 15 years too late|to save the humans. But it's not|like we didn't have a good run.
It's not about a good run.|It's about our survival.
See, the Titan was truly visionary,|the most advanced ship in the universe.
That ship has the power to reunite|the human race, to give us a home.
And the only way to find it|is in your hand.
So, you're really|counting on me, then?
- We all are.|- Well,
if I don't like|the way things are going,
I'll show you how much|like my father I really am.
I'll leave.
Ahh, no place to|set down on the island.
Land on that coral reef.
We'll take the sled,|see if we can locate the Gauol.
- Preed, you and Gune watch the ship.|- Watch the ship?
- And keep the engines hot.|- Oh, yes. They'll be nice and toasty.
- Hmm.|- I'm not keen on the Drej catching me|with my trousers down.
Welcome to Planet Sesharrim, Cale.
- It stinks.|- Hydrogen trees.
Clip one of those,|and we'll be blown to steaming bits.
Hello? Anybody here?
We're looking|for the Gauol.
Now, what exactly|do the Gauol look like?
Don't know.|They don't get out much.
We have a kid with a map here|that you guys should know about.
I think we know|what happened to the Gauol.
Open fire on five.
- We'll clear a path to the sled.|Everybody ready?
- One, two-
Wait. No, no.|Stop.
- I think they are the Gauol.
Ahh.
Oh, yeah!
Quick little devil.
-- Okay, all I have to do is tap|into the central computer,
and we can figure|the departure protocols.
- Yes. Making progress.|Yes, I'm making progress.
Huh? Wait, wait.
- Hmm.
Ooh. Hmm.
The moon, the moon, the moon. Right,|yeah. That's how we knew to come here.
My father made a map|with that moon on it.
Why? Is the ship|hidden there?
Ohh.
- Oh.
Hmm. Ahh.
It must be somewhere|in the Andali Nebula.
We did it, kid.
The Titan is as good|as ours.
He must have been here, standing here.|Right here.
- Who?|- My father.
Go!
Let's move it!
We've gotta|get to the beach!
- Akima!
- Why aren't they shooting at Cale?|- They want him alive.
Come on, guys.|Pick it up. Pick it up.
Nice catch.
Pull up! Pull up!
Preed, come in!|Preed, where are you?
- Hold on!
-Preed, come in!
-Preed!
Preed, Preed, Preed! Aren't you|supposed to be watching for the Drej?
Yes, caveman, that's right.|Drej bad. We good.
- Now, go look at|something shiny for a while.
- How's this?
- Well, you'd better look again!
Drej!
- Aah!
Captain, we're on our way.|Where are you?
We're in the|hydrogen trees being chased by the Drej.
-See if you can spot them, quick!|- Look there!
- Akima!|- Hang on!
Nice move.
Get down!
Come on.|Show yourselves.
- Get down!|- Cale!
- I got 'em.
Whoa!
Preed, look!|There they are!
Oh, no.
- Hang on, Akima!
Don't shoot!
Don't shoot!|They've got Cale!
Gune, calculate their trajectory.|Stith, take weapons.
- Let's get on it, people.|- Nice job covering our butts, Preed.
- You're the weapons expert.|- What were you doing? Taking a nap?
Enough! Okay,|the Drej took Cale.
But they are not|gonna get away with it.
Well, let's quit running|our collective mouths and go get him.
Our only chance to locate them|is to track Akima. Stith, get on it.
Hmm.
They're gonna use you to figure out|where the Titan is.
Probably just blow it up,|too, when they find it.
- Yeah, well, who's to say|it would've worked, anyway?|- Who's to say it won't?
Maybe Korso will get|to the Titan first.
Why do you care so much|about that thing?
I was raised|around people.
" Drifter Colony bums,"|I believe, is the term.
I barely remember Earth, but the older|ones used to tell us about it...
so it would never|be completely lost.
No matter how hard things got-|and they were hard-
those memories|kept us going.
Once, we had a home.
The Titan is our chance|to find one again.
I guess that's how|I ended up here.
What are they afraid of? So what did|the human race ever do to the Drej?
- It's not what we did. They're afraid|of what we might become.|- Hmm.
Yeah, well, looks like|we're becoming extinct.
- Cale, you okay?
- Akima!
Cale!
- Cale!|- No! Stop!
Leave her alone!
Akima!
No!
Akima's signal is|getting stronger. I think it's|coming from the slave cages.
-A Drej pod. What's in it?|- A human.
- She's mine. I saw her first.
- Pretty.
Ah. All right.
- I'll take out the guard.|- Easy, big girl.|This requires cunning and deception.
- Hello.|- Ah.
Uh, I'm an Akrennian trader.
I wonder if we might sneak|a peek at the new shipment|before they go on the market.
- You're not allowed.|- Traditionally, no.|You're absolutely right.
But you see,|I need a new slave rather badly.
- Stop fidgeting, worm!
And I can't wait till auction.|I have to be on the shuttle.
I have an appointment|to have my ear shaved.|It has to be booked months in advance.
- You see my problem.|- Hmm.
You're lying. He's not a slave,|and you're not traders.
- But-|- He doesn't carry himself|like a slave.
- Look at the way he stands.|Probably ex-military.|- How-
Akrennian traders always threaten before|they ask a favor. It's tradition.
- And your robes are made|out of bedspreads.
- Ah. -Just out of curiosity,|did we have a plan " B"?
- Hmm. An intelligent guard.|Didn't see that one coming.
Hmm.
Hmm.
Whoa.
- This is it.
- Are you in there?
Well, if it isn't the captain.|What kept you?
Do you see anything? It was really|small, like a cocoon or something.
No, no, no.|Nothing like that. No. Mmm.
I do see something.
Oh, no. Just a Drej ship.|Drej!
- What? Where?|- I'm on it. I'm on it. I'm on it.
- Korso, we have a problem.|You'd better get up here.
- I'm here. I'm here.|What's the problem?
- Stith, let's go.|- All right. All right.
- I've locked on to him, sir.|- Gune, look out for his buddy.
- There's only one.|He's all alone. Just one.|- Three, five, twenty-two-
- Three, five, twenty-two,|seventy-four, eleven.
- Cale!|- Die, Drej scum ball!
Oh, don't-|No, don't shoot. Oh, guys-
- Come on. It's me!|- It's Cale!
- Cale!|- Stith, hold your fire!
- Oops.
Akima,|open the cargo bay.
Cale!
- Ah! The boy is not dead.|This is cause for happiness.|- Hmm.
So, um- how did you escape?
- He got lucky.|- You know, we were just|about to rescue you.
- Yeah? Well, thanks.
- Anytime.|- Look, uh, they copied the map.
- I'm sure they're heading|for the Titan now.
They won't find it.|Stations, people.
Yes. Going, going.
Akima?
Uh, um, what happened?|How'd you get back?
I got picked up with the trash.|Luckily, Korso got there...
before I ended up as a door prize|in some alien freak show.
I guess I owe him one.
You know, we both|got real lucky back there.
- But next time around-|-Cale.
Come on.|Gune needs a hand.
- Yes, the map is good.|The map is different.
- Yes, the map is clear.
- Yes, it's very, very clear.|- Ooh. Take it easy.
Hmm. This outer marking|is pulsing.
- Ah, the distal Phalangial Meridian.|- Gune, what do you make of it?
Past outer quadrant.
This is the Ice Rings of Tigrin.|Right here. Hmm.
- Easy to get lost in there.|- Good hiding place.
What?
- Wake angels.
They follow ships into deep space,|glide on the energy wake.
- They're supposed to be good luck.
They're like ghosts.
Sit down. Why don't|you give 'em a run?
- You sure about that?|- 'Course I'm sure.
Okay.
It's my time to fly
I'm proving ground|tonight
I'll try to be the best|that I can
Yeah. You got it.|Open her up.
- Give these angels something to chase.|- All right.
Try this, guys.
It's my time to fly
My father will be|with me tonight
Ooh
We're right on target
It's my time to fly
My father will|be with us tonight
A chance tonight
To victory
-Dreams be come reality|-Reality
It's my time to fly
My father will be|with me tonight
Ooh, I'm right on target
It's my time to fly
My father will be|with us tonight
It's my time to fly
My father will be|with me tonight
My father will be|with me tonight
Ooh, we're right on target
It's my time to fly
My father will be|with me tonight
Ooh
We're right on target
- Thank you.|- I knew you could handle this old bird.
No, I mean,|thank you for-
Thank you for trying to find me.|It's more than my father ever did.
Your father was a great man,|Cale.
- He would've been proud of ya.
- You really think so?|- Trust me.
Thanks. Thanks.
You know, I-|I miss him.
Me too.
Akima?
Akima? Huh?|Oh, uh, uh, sorry.
- In or out?|- Huh? Oh, uh, in.
Uh, what's going on?|Do you know why we stopped?
Pit stop for the basics.|Drifter Colony's the best place...
to pick up plasma packs,|fuel cells, frozen burritos.
Listen. I need|to talk to you, and-
Where'd you get all this junk?
Not junk.
Why don't you come with me?|I'll show you.
So, we're gonna barter this stuff|for more of that Earth junk?
Don't you get it, Cale?|That junk is all that's left|of the place we came from.
It reminds us of|all the things we miss.
Mm, miss. Like those frozen burritos|you were talking about.
- At least they don't|jump off your plate.
You think this is some game?|Did you forget the plan?
I get you the Titan;|I get rich. We had a deal, right?
- How dare you try|to cut me out like that?
Yeah? Do as you please, and|guess what. You'll retrieve nothing.
You don't have the whole map.|The kid's got it. And I've got the kid.
So you keep your drones|off my back,
or so help me,|I'll rip his heart out.
Cale, come on.
Going somewhere?
two little birdies itchy to fly.
- How long were they standing there?|- Long enough.
You lied?
Everything you said?|Everything you told me?
Not everything.|Your father hid his ship,
then the Drej killed him,|all because he couldn't face the truth.
- Yeah? What is the truth?|- That the human race is out of|gas. It's circling' the drain.
It's finished.|The only thing that matters|is grabbin' what you can...
before somebody else|beats you to it.
No, I don't believe that!
Then you're even more like|your father than I thought. A fool.
- Cale!|- Uh-uh-uh.
- Akima, come on!|- Stop them.
Stay on 'em.|I'll lock it down.
- Hurry!|- Go! Go!
- Akima! Akima?
Let's go.|We got a ship to find.
Let's get airborne,|now.
- Where's Cale and Akima?|- They're not coming.
- Why not?|- Because they're afraid.
Afraid? What exactly are they afraid of?
They're|afraid of what might happen|if my command was ever questioned.
- Get it?
- Got it.|- Got a problem with that?
No.
- Why they not say good-bye to Gune?
- Go get a blanket, quickly.|She needs warmth.|- Something to keep her warm.
You, go get a doctor.
- Yeah. Hurry.|- Cover her.
- Yes, yes.|- What did you tell him?
I asked him|to bring corn liquor.
No. Really,|I don't need it.
Ha! Not for you.|For boy.
- Me?|- He pass out soon.
- She'll be fine. She just|needs rest. Don't worry.
She'll be fine.
Hey!
It's his favorite thing in the world-
that stupid ball.
It was our dad's|back on Earth.
Every time|he kicks that thing,
my brother thinks|he's in a big grass field.
That's some imagination.
Yeah, well- There. He had|a little help. See what I mean?
That's him- our dad.
That's where my brother|got the idea.
Hmm.
Here on the colony,|most people got to shut their eyes...
to see anything other|than rusted spaceship hulls.
Not my brother.
Later.
Ahem.
- Hey. Sleeping Beauty.|- How long was I out?
Not long.|A few hours.
Korso and Preed. I can't believe it.
How long before|they reach the Titan?
They won't.|We're gonna beat them to it.
Akima, we're gonna|stop them.
Was I seriously injured|back there or something,
'cause, funny, I thought you just said|we're gonna stop them?
- That's right.|- Cale, we're in the middle of nowhere.
- That's right.|- Cale, we're in the middle of nowhere.
There's just the two of us,|and, oh, yeah- We don't have a ship.
- Oh, we've got a ship.|- Really?
- Mm-hmm.|- I'd like to see this ship.
Check it out.
- Oh, no.|- Oh, yes.
Well, she's been a great house,|but I don't think she'll fly.
Well, she's still got her ionic|vacuum drive. Those never drain.
- This thing's a wreck.|- I can fix it, but do you think-
Don't worry.|I can fly it.
Good, 'cause|we launch yesterday.
I've gotta getaway from here
It couldn't be too soon
'Cause I've seen the stars|for you and me
Like rockets|to the moon
You take me everywhere|that I've never been
Show me the meaning|of what life had to give
I don't know|what to say
-I think that maybe|I'm in over my head
-Stuck in the bed|Somethin' she said|- Own!
-Makes me think|that I'm in over my head
Over my head
T-minus ten, nine,
eight, seven,
-six, five,|- Well, we're good to go.
- Let's hope she starts.|- four, three,
- two,|- Oh, she'll start.
- one, zero.|- Yeah, right.
- She'll start.
Uh, I'd lean back|if I were you.
- Should I get out and push?
- Whoa!|- Ha.
- Told ya.|- Okay. You did your job.|Now let me do mine.
These collisions keep slowing us down.
- So where is it?|- My scanners are picking up|a cornucopia of nothing.
Just find it!|Gune, are you sure about that map?
You give me map. I follow map.|What more can Gune do?
- If Professor Screw loose led us|off course, I'm going to-|- Hold it!
- What is it?|-A ship. Three keks east.
- Drej?|- No. Human craft heading|for the break zone. Fast.
- How fast?|- I'd say recklessly fast.
- Akima.|- Ah, good!
Akima. Cale.|I hail on communicator.
No hailing.|Just follow them.
Okay. I follow, but I plot|new route through safer quadrant.
- If we-
- We're going to follow them,
and we'll run silent.
The reflections|are throwing my readings off.
Uh, Akima, I think|we're getting closer.
- Cale! It's Korso.|- Huh?
- He's right behind us.|- What?
We've got to lose him.
- We'll never find them in there.|- We're going in.
- Stith, where are they?|- I can't get a reading.
There's too much ice,|too much interference, Captain.
- Captain.|- Whoa!
- Whoa!
A heat signature.|I see them!
- Where are they?|- Behind us!
- No!
Where is he?
I-I don't know.
- What?|- Well, we found them, Captain.
No more heat readings.|All gone.
Until they make their move,|we stay here.
- They're moving out, I think.|- Now we've got 'em.
- I can't move. They'll see us.|- Maybe that's exactly what we want.
A reading!|Yeah. They're right in front of us.
You're not gonna|get past me, kid.
- There, Captain!|- That's right, Cale. Keep coming.
Closer.|They're getting closer!
There she is, Captain.
No. There, Captain.
Which one?
Look!|They're behind us now!
- Ready lasers!|- I'm on it!
I need one clear shot.|Don't lose 'em.
- Ice! Turn back!|- No way.
- We'll never make it through.|- We don't have a choice.
- Akima! Uh-|- Yes, Cale?
- Pull up!|- Shut up!
Let's not|do that again.
Hold it.|Look there.
Akima, turn around.|Turn around!
That's it.
Wow. Have you ever|seen anything like it?
Once.
- What are we looking for?|- This ship's gonna|help us save mankind.
- What exactly are we looking for?|- Not a clue.
DNA coding.
" Mammal.|Tursiops truncatus. "
The bottle-nosed dolphin.
These are animals-|or they will be.
" Leopard.|Papilio glaucus. "
Swallowtail butterfly.|It's all here.
- Cale?|- I'm over here!
Look at this.
Dad.
I could never have done anything|like this when I was your age.
- I wonder who you take after?
- Whoa!
Hey.
- The Titan. Quick.|- Ready to go, Captain.
You two stay here.|Preed and I can wrap this up.
- But- Here. Hold on to this|in case there's any trouble.
Hmm.|N-N-N-N-No.
Those two are|becoming a problem.
- We need to take care of it.
I'm one step|ahead of you.
- Watch the ship.|I always watch the ship.|- This doesn't feel right.
- I wanna go! I wanna go!|- Captain said stay.
It's Captain I don't trust.
Hmm. You know,|you may be right. Come on.
- Stith here.
- Stith,|is Gune right there with you?|- Yeah.
- Then please tell him good-bye|for me, won't you?|- What?
- Gune!
- I knew it! I knew it! - Get out of there!
- Cale. If this message has-|- Dad?
If this message has been activated,|then I have died before finding you.
I hope|you can forgive me...
for breaking my promise|to see you again.
What I wouldn't give|to see you now.
I can't change the past, Cale,|but I hope I can give you a future.
This ship has the power|to create a planet,
to create a new home.
Your ring would have activated|the transformation sequence,
but the Titan's power cells|were drained in the escape.
- They are unable|to fuel the transformation.
It is up to you|to restore their power.
After that,|the procedure is simple.
- He always did talk too much.
- Oh!|- Ah-Ah-Ah.
Korso, don't do this.|This ship is all we have.|Doesn't that mean anything to you?
Sorry, kid.|World blowing up changes a man.
- Look. The Drej-|- See, you can't beat the Drej.
No one can.|They're pure energy.
Face it, Cale.|You've lost.
- Actually, you all have.
Captain, if you'll relieve yourself|of your fire arm-
- You backstabbing-|- Well, I learned from the best.
But it wasn't just the money|the Drej were offering.
It was the health plan|that came with it.
They'd let me live provided|I kill all of you before they get here.
They should be here shortly.
- Oh.|- Ah.
- Gune? Gune?
- Gune!
- Gune, are you all right?|- I'm- I'm all right f-for business.
- Gune.|- I'll just take a little nap...
since I'm so- very sleepy.
Ahh.
- Preed, you can't trust the Drej.|- Akima.
Oh, stop! There's nothing more|tiresome than last-minute heroics!
- Ooh!|- Ah!
- Captain? Mm. Oh.
Ah! Ahh.
- Hide 'n' seek, is it?|Or should we play...
search and destroy!
- Preed!|- Ah!
- Give me the ring.|- Aw. You're not gonna shoot me, kid.
Hmm.
- Hyah! Hyah!|- Ooh!
- Oh!
- Oh!
- Cale!|- Ah. Aah!
Hold on!|Oh!
You can let go, kid.|I wouldn't blame you.
No! I'm not|gonna let go!
- Korso!
- Cale! The Drej!
- You okay?
- Yeah.
- Let's not panic.|- We've gotta get out of here|before the Drej arrive.
- No, we're gonna stay right here.|- Right here is about to be blown apart.
- This could be a good thing. Wait.|- Come on, Cale!
Wait.|We can make this work.
- What did Korso say about the Drej?|- That you can't beat them.
Right!|Because they're pure energy.
If I can reroute the system to use Drej|energy, that would start the reactor.
The energy relays are linked to these|circuit breakers, so this should do it.
- Yes!|- Are you sure this will work?
Come on!|I can fix this!
I need to get outside.|Can you and Stith cover me?|I just need a little time.
- How much time?|- Uh, a few hours!
What can you do|in a few minutes?
- Here they come.|- Not if I can help it.
- Cale, you're|a sitting duck up there.|- I'm all right.
- Oh!|- Come on!
Whoo!
- Oh, fantastic.|I only have two guns left.|- Let's make 'em count.
- Akima, I can't shake 'em.|- I've got him.
Ah! I'm out!
Let's do this! Whoo!
- Well, guys, it's been fun.|- A little help here, Akima. Whoa!
- Cale!
I finished my nap!
- Gune!|- Who's your daddy?
Gune's your daddy!
Oh, no! No, no, no, no!
Oh!
- Cale, are you all right?|- I'm pinned.
- Stith, who's outside with Cale?
- Hi, kid.|- It's Korso!
You'll never get a cleaner shot, Korso.
- Whoa!
Maybe we can beat 'em|after all.
Uh-
Go ahead.|I'll cover you.
Yeah, yeah. Right.
Okay.
- Oh, great.
- Fry, Drej!|- Ah!
They're leaving.
Uh-oh.|We got a problem.
Ah. Go. They're|joining the mother ship.
- But the breaker!|- Cale, she's preparing to fire!
- You can't stay out here.|- I'll take care of it, so let's move.
- You can't stay out here.|- I'll take care of it, so let's move.
Hey, hey!
Go on. Get out of here.
Cale, where are you?
Go. It's better this way.
Uh-
Here they come again.
Come on.|Faster. Faster.
Come on. Come on.
Ooh.
- Oh!|- Whoa!
This is amazing.
I know.
What are|you going to call it?
I think|I'll call it... Bob.
- Bob? - You don't like " Bob"?
You can't|call a planet " Bob."
Oh, so now you're the boss.|You're the king of Bob.
- Well, no, but-|- What?
Can't you just|call it Earth?
Well, no one said|you had to live on Bob.
I'm never...
calling it that.
Ohh, oh, oh
Ohh, oh, oh, oh
Ohh, oh, oh
Ohh, oh, oh, oh
Take the path|of least resistance
In to the great unknown
No directory assistance
Now you're on your own
But if you're looking|for a new world
Just open up your eyes
-Because it's not quite paradise|-No
But it sure feels like home
Not quite paradise
And we can rent to own
it'll be all right
No, it's not quite
Paradise
Tomorrow's an illusion
And yesterday's a dream
Today is absolution
But you gotta let it be
And if you're looking|for the answer
It's right be fore your eyes
-Although it's not quite paradise|-No, oh, No, oh
But it sure looks like home
Not quite paradise
And we are not alone
it'll be all right
No, it's not quite
Paradise
Somewhere|from the edge of time
When the poets gather|Words don't rhyme
I'll call you up and say
We made it okay
Somewhere|in the back of your mind
When you see your demons|come to life
And the world|just fades away
You know it's okay
Ohh, oh, oh
- Ohh, oh, oh, oh|-It's gonna be okay
Ohh, oh, oh
Ohh, oh, oh, oh
- Okay|- Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
- Okay|- Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
-But it's not quite paradise|- Oh, no
But it sure feels like home
Not quite paradise
We'll make this place|our own
Not quite paradise
We can rent to own
Not quite paradise
We don't have to be alone
-Not quite paradise|-No, no
-No, no, no, no|-Not quite paradise
-No, no, Yeah|-Not quite paradise
Now we've traveled far
But are we any nearer
There's a feelin'|we're reaching for
In the fields|where it all began
Listen, do you hear
I thought I heard a promise
But that empty feeling grows
And I'm scared|that I will forget
But I
I can remember
Look around and around
There's people|still hanging on
See, it's me|I'm the one
Believe in me|I've just begun
We'll be here|when the lights come on
When it all comes down
To me and you
Just a boy and girl
Trying to|change a cold world
I don't expect|that you'd understand
When you look|at this empty land
But I
I can remember
Look around and around
People still hanging on
And I
I can remember them
Be it night or day
Like lovers left holding on
You see it's me|I'm the one
Believe in me|I've just begun
And we'll be here|when the lights come on
When it all comes down
To me and you
And I
I can remember
Look around and around
People still hanging on
And I
I can remember them
Be it night or day
Like lovers left holding on
And I

Translation and linkage: Jean-Luc Picard
that our future|is altered forever.
Fire. Electricity.
Splitting the atom.
At the dawn of the 31st century,| we unlocked another.
It had the potential to change|humanity's role in the universe.
We called it the Titan project,|and it was a testament...
to the limitless power|of the human imagination.
Perhaps that is what|the Drej feared most,
for it brought them down|upon us without warning...
and without mercy.
Cale, that day, the day|the Drej descended from the sky,
the only thing that mattered| was keeping you safe.
Perfect!
Hey, stop!|Come on!
- Cale, are you all right?
I'm okay.
Dad,|my invention broke.
Well, then, we'll fix it together,|but not today, Cale. We have to go now.
Dad, where's|everybody going?
We're leaving too.|We all have to go somewhere safe.
Professor Tucker! The Drej|have reached the global defense system!
Come on, son.|Will we get the people away in time?
- Not if we sit here talking, sir.|- I wanna drive.
- When you're older, kid.|- I'm older than four.
- Hang on!
Whoa!
- Please|proceed to your designated-|- Is the Titan prepped?
-Just waiting for you, sir!|- Intelligence says the Drej|don't know the Titan's location,
or we would've|been hit already.
Let's pray|they're right!
Enemy warships|have entered our solar system.
Are we going in that?
- Wow!|- Cale,
I have to go|on a different ship.
- I have to go away for a while.
No, Dad! No!
- Tek is going to look after you.|- But I wanna go with you!
- Sir-|- I know.|It's not safe where I'm going.
-Sir! Professor!|- I'm coming!
Cale, here. Take this.|As long as you wear it, there's hope.
- I will see you again. I promise.|- Okay.
- Cale, it's time. Cale-|- No, it's not okay! It's not okay!
- Tek, keep him safe!|- Daddy!
- Korso, go!|- Come back!
-Evacuate! Evacuate!|- Godspeed, Sam Tucker!
Attention, pilots. Drej stingers are-
This is Tucker.|Bring me down.
Attention, pilots.
Drej stingers are attacking|the escape vehicles.
Okay. Are we all here?|Bobby, buckle up.
- Now, Sam. Now!|- Go, Dad! Go!
- Get out of there. Get out of there!|- Come on.
Lose my head to the chemical freeway
Comin' up on overload|Losing sure is easy, so lam no more
But I'm not broken
In my dream, I win
Out here, I'm nothing
A cosmic castaway
In my head I'm a chemical dreamer|Speed up to burn out mode
- Comin' up to fifth dimension|Beautify, don't crucify me
-So I need no mind game|poisoning my lonely soul|- Eat this.
-Losing sure is easy|so I am no more
-But I'm not broken
In my dream, I win
-It's lunch. One hour for lunch.|-And I take over
'Cause I'm no loser
-And I'm in and you're not|- Whoo! Whoo-hoo!
Bad dreams don't stop
But I'm all screwed up
A cosmic castaway, yeah
A cosmic castaway, yeah
A cosmic castaway
- How ya hittin' 'em, Chowquin?
- Hey- Chow- Chowquin.|- Wait.
Hey, it's me. It's Cale, all right?|I'm not with those losers.
Humans wait.
- Uppity Earth scum.
- Guess you're stuck with us losers.|- Don't count on it.
- You wait in line, pal.|I'm takin' the express.|- Cosmic castaway
- Yeah|- Go through the docks,|you'll get yourself killed.
Coward. You know, the odds of a ship|docking are a thousand to one.
- Yeah, a cosmic castaway|- And that would be the one.
Wow.
- Hi.
Mm-hmm.
Hey, wh- Hey!
Wow.
- We're locked down, Captain.
All right. Keep her hot.|I'll be in touch.
- How you doin' today? Workin'|hard, are you? Bon appetite.
Next! Keep the line moving.|Here you go.
- Akrennian Beetle Sushimi.|- You got ketchup?
Ketchup? Ketchup? You don't need|ketchup. Please, next. Move along.
He's a disgrace.|Those dirty humans.
Ketchup! Boy, some nerve,|human. Nice head, human.
I'm not askin' that much.|I'd just like them to kill my food|before they serve it to me.
- I do an honest day's work.|I want already dead food.
- Mm.|- Is that too much to ask?
- Do you hear a crackling sound?|- And what was up with Chowquin?
- You should've seen him.|- Ha-ha, not much chance of that.
- He was so out of control,|treatin' me like I'm some-|- Human?
Don't start with|that solidarity thing again.
- If you would study|human history as instructed,
you might realize you're not|alone out there, and you'd be|better prepared for the future.
- I'll tell you somethin'|about your famous future.|- Mmm.
Every day I wake up, it's still the|present, the same grimy, boring present.
I don't think|this future thing exists.
- Do you hear a crackling sound?
- Here we go.
- We gotta get outta this dump.|- Hold on, everybody! I got it!
Please don't panic.|Just think of it as floating time.|Two seconds. Everybody calm.
Ah. Just needed some love.
Let's get back to eatin' baby.
Okay. Well, I'm full.
Ohh.
- Hey, Cale.
- Firrikash.
Po, how's it floatin'?
- You pulled a nasty stunt back there.|- We don't like your attitude.
- You've been a little uppity.
Up-Up- Is that so? Well.|I'm gonna have to work on that.
- You wanna hunt humans, remember:|We travel in packs.
- What are you doing?|- It's commonly known as helping.
Yeah? Well, what for?
Sometimes, kid, people|just help each other out.
- Oh, right.
So you're gonna tell me|you don't want something in return?
- All right. Maybe I do.|- What a shock.
I want you to risk your life.|I want you to give up everything|you have to join the mission,
where you'll face terror and torture|and possibly gruesome death.
And I would|wanna do that because?
Because it's worth it.|Because the human race needs you.
Maybe you haven't|had a look around lately, but|there aren't many of us left.
At the rate we're going, they'll be|reading about us in textbooks...
- and displaying our bones|in alien museums.
- Yeah, well, having your planet|blown up can have that effect.
But maybe I've been wrong all|these years, and it took your|inspiring speech to make me see.
You've really changed me.|It's beautiful.
I think|we've gotta hug.
- Oh, man.|They've really ground you down.|- Hey, get this straight.
I don't even know you.|I don't want any part of your mission,
Oh, okay.
- I think he called you morons.
- Whoa!|- Korso.
Captain, this is Akima.|We are not alone.
Are we in good company?
That's a negative,|Captain.
I think we've fallen in|with a very bad crowd.
Roger that.|Let's prep for departure.
Tek, I need to be scarce|for a while.
- You don't know the half of it.|- Ha-ha.
Are you still bothering people?|Hey, go away.
Great job with the kid, Tek.|He's a charmer.
I expected you to take him|off my hands a lot sooner.
- Tek, wait.|Who is this? You know him?|-Joseph Korso.
- Tek, wait.|Who is this? You know him?|-Joseph Korso.
- I was with your father|on the Titan project.|- My father.
- I don't have a father.|You brought this guy here?
- Yes.|- I don't understand. Why?
You still got that ring|your father gave you?
- Give it to me.|- Hey, give it back!
- Cale-|- Shh.
- Ahh.
Ah. Here.
- Put it on.|- Hmm.
- How did- How did you-|- It's a storage device.
It's genetically encrypted to your|father, and therefore, to you.
It's a map, Cale.
It can tell us|where your father hid the Titan.
That's why I've spent|the last 15 years lookin' for ya.
That ship means everything.|Humanity depends on you finding it.
Me?|Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Me? No, no, no.|I'm not- Tek, listen,
there must|be someone better.
It's time, Cale.|It's time to stop running.
- Well, actually,
I think it's time|to start.
Drej.|What do they want?
They want you, kid.|Same way I want you, only dead.
How do you know|they want me dead?
I'm convinced.
We gotta get|to the kitchen.
- Korso, the gravity drive!
- You ready?|- Tek, I'll lead you in.
- I'll stay here.|- Tek, you can't.
Take care of the kid.|He's not all grown up yet.
- No, no, no, no. You're coming.|- Go, Cale. I'll read about you.
Follow me!
Whoa!
- Well, this would be good|if we had any baking to do.
Oh, my food!|You guys are- You're terrible.
You're unsanitary.|Ooh, I hope that they catch you,
and I'll test if ya gainst you,|and you'll never get out of jail.
- Hey, you'll get|all the ketchup you want.
- Drej! Ooh, I gotta go now.|- Follow ugly!
Oh, great. Yeah, no one would ever|think of looking for us in the vent.
Go!
- Go! Go!
He's the big- I'm not supposed to be here!|Come on! I'm just a cook!
How do I get out of here? How do I get|out? Why is this happening tome?
Stupid- Please- Stupid- No!
Hi. They went right down there.|They came into my kitchen and-
Bull's-eye.
We gotta|get outta here.
Go!
Go! Run!
- Over.|- Huh?
- Maybe next time, kid.|- Hey, I can fly it too.
- It won't start.
I got an idea.
Give it a shot.|Whoa!
Ow!
- Hang on, kid. I'm comin'.
Heads up!
They're|locking down the doors!
- Not going forward. Going up.|- Up?
Move it!
- You should brace yourself.|- Uh, yeah. I'm feeling that.
Eject. Hey, where's the eject?|Cale? Cale?
This model does|have eject, right?
And you were worried.
What do you mean, "were"?
- Akima, we need a pickup.|- A little late for that.
- I'm right|above you. Can you get to me?|- Not enough time.
Not-Not-|Not a lot of time.
- Exhale.|- You gotta be kidding.
- Exhale.|- Oh, no, no, no, no!
Comeback down to Earth, oh, yeah
Comeback down to Earth|Comeback down to Earth
Oh, yeah|Comeback down to Earth
- Is it dead? Can we eat it?
No, it's not dead.
Who are you?|Go away.
- Hey, what's going on?|- Preed, you're in my light.
Ah, such motherly concern|for the subject.
- Why am I naked?|- Why, you positively glow|with maternal warmth, Akima.
It's very fetching.|I must have you.
- In your dreams.|- Akrennians don't dream, remember?
- They don't bathe much, either.|- I'm still naked here.
I hadn't noticed. Now, hold still, or|you'll lose something really important.
- Hand me the probe.|- The probe? Uh,|-where does the probe go?
You know, I'm really feeling|much better. Aah! Hey!
This is just great.|Cross half the galaxy,
nearly get our butts|shot off by the Drej,
just so we can|rescue the window washer.
Hey, for your information, I happen|to be humanity's last great hope.
- I weep for the species.|- You're fine.
I mean, I'm the guy with the map here.|This is big medicine, right?
Big medicine? Let me see.
This is really it?|This can save us?
Huh? Yeah, I guess.
- Do you know what this means?
Um, I'm really wanting those pants|right about now.
Akima, my pet, if the boy isn't|at death's door,
Korso wants Gune to check the map|so we can set a course.
Do you mind?|Are we through pawing?
- This is the Valkyrie,|not a singles bar.|- We're done.
You know,|I never said I was gonna help you guys.|We never addressed what's in it for me.
- Why, you get to be a hero.|- A hero? Come on.
I mean, there must be something on the|Titan worth selling or trading or-
What? We're gonna risk our necks|to help a bunch of Drifter Colony bums?
- Where are my pants?
- Guess where Akima grew up.|- Drifter Colony?
- Yes. The boy learns.|- Wait. What's your-
Preed, wait up! Look.|Where's Korso? I wanna talk to him.
I believe he's in Navigation.|We're headed there now.
- You wanna watch|who you're steppin' on.
Or you'll what?
- Ah, the lovely and talented Stith.|This is Cale.
- You remember- Cale.|- No, no, no, no, no. Cannot talk.
We lost targeting on one|of our aft gun turrets again!
What? Think|this is a pleasure cruise?
She's a sweet little thing.|Weapons specialist.|Normally, she's very good-natured.
Great!|Things aren't bad enough!
- Tools all over the floor!|- Fight the good fight, precious.
Preed, I'll kill you. Okay?|I will kill you.
I am educated and well-read!|lam not mechanic!
- I have my pride! - Gune? Guney? Are you in there?
...by the acceleration, multiplied|by the coefficient of the friction...
and apply necessary force.
- Gune?|- Ooh.
- Look at that.|- Does this look familiar?|Do you know what it is?
Apparently, I used Gindrogac-|highly unstable.
- Gune.|- I put a button on it, yes.
I wish to press it, but I'm not sure|what will happen if I do.
- Let me see, now. Three, five,|twenty-two, seventy-four,
- eleven-
- No. Careful.
- It's perfect.|- Ho, yes!
- Hey.|- Perfect! You fixed it!
- So, where are we now?
We are here, right here-|Bellasan Quadrant.
About three million keks from Tau 14.|Why? Are you homesick?
- Gotta have a home for that.|- Mmm.
Translucent bipedal|mesomorphic embryonic male.
Yes, yes, yes. This is all very|fascinating, but take a look at this.
- It's a map. Can you read it?|- Can I read it?
Of course I can read it.|Yes. Hmm.
- So, what do you see?|- Ah!
- Yes, this is Pl'ochda.
- And this- this-|this is... Solbrecht!
And this- And this-|And this- What is this?
- That's, uh- That's lunch.|- What's lunch?
- Mmm.
Spaghetti derivative, meatballs- sort|of, anyway- and Caldoch droppings.
- Who ate it before you did?|- Hey, hey!
Ahh!
- Tell you a secret. This guy's nuts.|- Tell you another.
He's never wrong.|Where are we going, Gune?
Ahh, the broken moon|of Sesharrim.
Only 13.000 keks away.
- Have Akima lay in a course.|- We're on our way.
- What's on Sesharrim, anyway?|- The Gauol, an ancient race.
- Great.|- This isn't a joy ride, kid.
When the Drej destroyed Earth,|they figured life adrift in space...
would break us down,|wipe us out.
Do you really want|those vile creatures to be right?
-Just lay down and die?|- A little late.
About 15 years too late|to save the humans. But it's not|like we didn't have a good run.
It's not about a good run.|It's about our survival.
See, the Titan was truly visionary,|the most advanced ship in the universe.
That ship has the power to reunite|the human race, to give us a home.
And the only way to find it|is in your hand.
So, you're really|counting on me, then?
- We all are.|- Well,
if I don't like|the way things are going,
I'll show you how much|like my father I really am.
I'll leave.
Ahh, no place to|set down on the island.
Land on that coral reef.
We'll take the sled,|see if we can locate the Gauol.
- Preed, you and Gune watch the ship.|- Watch the ship?
- And keep the engines hot.|- Oh, yes. They'll be nice and toasty.
- Hmm.|- I'm not keen on the Drej catching me|with my trousers down.
Welcome to Planet Sesharrim, Cale.
- It stinks.|- Hydrogen trees.
Clip one of those,|and we'll be blown to steaming bits.
Hello? Anybody here?
We're looking|for the Gauol.
Now, what exactly|do the Gauol look like?
Don't know.|They don't get out much.
We have a kid with a map here|that you guys should know about.
I think we know|what happened to the Gauol.
Open fire on five.
- We'll clear a path to the sled.|Everybody ready?
- One, two-
Wait. No, no.|Stop.
- I think they are the Gauol.
Ahh.
Oh, yeah!
Quick little devil.
-- Okay, all I have to do is tap|into the central computer,
and we can figure|the departure protocols.
- Yes. Making progress.|Yes, I'm making progress.
Huh? Wait, wait.
- Hmm.
Ooh. Hmm.
The moon, the moon, the moon. Right,|yeah. That's how we knew to come here.
My father made a map|with that moon on it.
Why? Is the ship|hidden there?
Ohh.
- Oh.
Hmm. Ahh.
It must be somewhere|in the Andali Nebula.
We did it, kid.
The Titan is as good|as ours.
He must have been here, standing here.|Right here.
- Who?|- My father.
Go!
Let's move it!
We've gotta|get to the beach!
- Akima!
- Why aren't they shooting at Cale?|- They want him alive.
Come on, guys.|Pick it up. Pick it up.
Nice catch.
Pull up! Pull up!
Preed, come in!|Preed, where are you?
- Hold on!
-Preed, come in!
-Preed!
Preed, Preed, Preed! Aren't you|supposed to be watching for the Drej?
Yes, caveman, that's right.|Drej bad. We good.
- Now, go look at|something shiny for a while.
- How's this?
- Well, you'd better look again!
Drej!
- Aah!
Captain, we're on our way.|Where are you?
We're in the|hydrogen trees being chased by the Drej.
-See if you can spot them, quick!|- Look there!
- Akima!|- Hang on!
Nice move.
Get down!
Come on.|Show yourselves.
- Get down!|- Cale!
- I got 'em.
Whoa!
Preed, look!|There they are!
Oh, no.
- Hang on, Akima!
Don't shoot!
Don't shoot!|They've got Cale!
Gune, calculate their trajectory.|Stith, take weapons.
- Let's get on it, people.|- Nice job covering our butts, Preed.
- You're the weapons expert.|- What were you doing? Taking a nap?
Enough! Okay,|the Drej took Cale.
But they are not|gonna get away with it.
Well, let's quit running|our collective mouths and go get him.
Our only chance to locate them|is to track Akima. Stith, get on it.
Hmm.
They're gonna use you to figure out|where the Titan is.
Probably just blow it up,|too, when they find it.
- Yeah, well, who's to say|it would've worked, anyway?|- Who's to say it won't?
Maybe Korso will get|to the Titan first.
Why do you care so much|about that thing?
I was raised|around people.
" Drifter Colony bums,"|I believe, is the term.
I barely remember Earth, but the older|ones used to tell us about it...
so it would never|be completely lost.
No matter how hard things got-|and they were hard-
those memories|kept us going.
Once, we had a home.
The Titan is our chance|to find one again.
I guess that's how|I ended up here.
What are they afraid of? So what did|the human race ever do to the Drej?
- It's not what we did. They're afraid|of what we might become.|- Hmm.
Yeah, well, looks like|we're becoming extinct.
- Cale, you okay?
- Akima!
Cale!
- Cale!|- No! Stop!
Leave her alone!
Akima!
No!
Akima's signal is|getting stronger. I think it's|coming from the slave cages.
-A Drej pod. What's in it?|- A human.
- She's mine. I saw her first.
- Pretty.
Ah. All right.
- I'll take out the guard.|- Easy, big girl.|This requires cunning and deception.
- Hello.|- Ah.
Uh, I'm an Akrennian trader.
I wonder if we might sneak|a peek at the new shipment|before they go on the market.
- You're not allowed.|- Traditionally, no.|You're absolutely right.
But you see,|I need a new slave rather badly.
- Stop fidgeting, worm!
And I can't wait till auction.|I have to be on the shuttle.
I have an appointment|to have my ear shaved.|It has to be booked months in advance.
- You see my problem.|- Hmm.
You're lying. He's not a slave,|and you're not traders.
- But-|- He doesn't carry himself|like a slave.
- Look at the way he stands.|Probably ex-military.|- How-
Akrennian traders always threaten before|they ask a favor. It's tradition.
- And your robes are made|out of bedspreads.
- Ah. -Just out of curiosity,|did we have a plan " B"?
- Hmm. An intelligent guard.|Didn't see that one coming.
Hmm.
Hmm.
Whoa.
- This is it.
- Are you in there?
Well, if it isn't the captain.|What kept you?
Do you see anything? It was really|small, like a cocoon or something.
No, no, no.|Nothing like that. No. Mmm.
I do see something.
Oh, no. Just a Drej ship.|Drej!
- What? Where?|- I'm on it. I'm on it. I'm on it.
- Korso, we have a problem.|You'd better get up here.
- I'm here. I'm here.|What's the problem?
- Stith, let's go.|- All right. All right.
- I've locked on to him, sir.|- Gune, look out for his buddy.
- There's only one.|He's all alone. Just one.|- Three, five, twenty-two-
- Three, five, twenty-two,|seventy-four, eleven.
- Cale!|- Die, Drej scum ball!
Oh, don't-|No, don't shoot. Oh, guys-
- Come on. It's me!|- It's Cale!
- Cale!|- Stith, hold your fire!
- Oops.
Akima,|open the cargo bay.
Cale!
- Ah! The boy is not dead.|This is cause for happiness.|- Hmm.
So, um- how did you escape?
- He got lucky.|- You know, we were just|about to rescue you.
- Yeah? Well, thanks.
- Anytime.|- Look, uh, they copied the map.
- I'm sure they're heading|for the Titan now.
They won't find it.|Stations, people.
Yes. Going, going.
Akima?
Uh, um, what happened?|How'd you get back?
I got picked up with the trash.|Luckily, Korso got there...
before I ended up as a door prize|in some alien freak show.
I guess I owe him one.
You know, we both|got real lucky back there.
- But next time around-|-Cale.
Come on.|Gune needs a hand.
- Yes, the map is good.|The map is different.
- Yes, the map is clear.
- Yes, it's very, very clear.|- Ooh. Take it easy.
Hmm. This outer marking|is pulsing.
- Ah, the distal Phalangial Meridian.|- Gune, what do you make of it?
Past outer quadrant.
This is the Ice Rings of Tigrin.|Right here. Hmm.
- Easy to get lost in there.|- Good hiding place.
What?
- Wake angels.
They follow ships into deep space,|glide on the energy wake.
- They're supposed to be good luck.
They're like ghosts.
Sit down. Why don't|you give 'em a run?
- You sure about that?|- 'Course I'm sure.
Okay.
It's my time to fly
I'm proving ground|tonight
I'll try to be the best|that I can
Yeah. You got it.|Open her up.
- Give these angels something to chase.|- All right.
Try this, guys.
It's my time to fly
My father will be|with me tonight
Ooh
We're right on target
It's my time to fly
My father will|be with us tonight
A chance tonight
To victory
-Dreams be come reality|-Reality
It's my time to fly
My father will be|with me tonight
Ooh, I'm right on target
It's my time to fly
My father will be|with us tonight
It's my time to fly
My father will be|with me tonight
My father will be|with me tonight
Ooh, we're right on target
It's my time to fly
My father will be|with me tonight
Ooh
We're right on target
- Thank you.|- I knew you could handle this old bird.
No, I mean,|thank you for-
Thank you for trying to find me.|It's more than my father ever did.
Your father was a great man,|Cale.
- He would've been proud of ya.
- You really think so?|- Trust me.
Thanks. Thanks.
You know, I-|I miss him.
Me too.
Akima?
Akima? Huh?|Oh, uh, uh, sorry.
- In or out?|- Huh? Oh, uh, in.
Uh, what's going on?|Do you know why we stopped?
Pit stop for the basics.|Drifter Colony's the best place...
to pick up plasma packs,|fuel cells, frozen burritos.
Listen. I need|to talk to you, and-
Where'd you get all this junk?
Not junk.
Why don't you come with me?|I'll show you.
So, we're gonna barter this stuff|for more of that Earth junk?
Don't you get it, Cale?|That junk is all that's left|of the place we came from.
It reminds us of|all the things we miss.
Mm, miss. Like those frozen burritos|you were talking about.
- At least they don't|jump off your plate.
You think this is some game?|Did you forget the plan?
I get you the Titan;|I get rich. We had a deal, right?
- How dare you try|to cut me out like that?
Yeah? Do as you please, and|guess what. You'll retrieve nothing.
You don't have the whole map.|The kid's got it. And I've got the kid.
So you keep your drones|off my back,
or so help me,|I'll rip his heart out.
Cale, come on.
Going somewhere?
two little birdies itchy to fly.
- How long were they standing there?|- Long enough.
You lied?
Everything you said?|Everything you told me?
Not everything.|Your father hid his ship,
then the Drej killed him,|all because he couldn't face the truth.
- Yeah? What is the truth?|- That the human race is out of|gas. It's circling' the drain.
It's finished.|The only thing that matters|is grabbin' what you can...
before somebody else|beats you to it.
No, I don't believe that!
Then you're even more like|your father than I thought. A fool.
- Cale!|- Uh-uh-uh.
- Akima, come on!|- Stop them.
Stay on 'em.|I'll lock it down.
- Hurry!|- Go! Go!
- Akima! Akima?
Let's go.|We got a ship to find.
Let's get airborne,|now.
- Where's Cale and Akima?|- They're not coming.
- Why not?|- Because they're afraid.
Afraid? What exactly are they afraid of?
They're|afraid of what might happen|if my command was ever questioned.
- Get it?
- Got it.|- Got a problem with that?
No.
- Why they not say good-bye to Gune?
- Go get a blanket, quickly.|She needs warmth.|- Something to keep her warm.
You, go get a doctor.
- Yeah. Hurry.|- Cover her.
- Yes, yes.|- What did you tell him?
I asked him|to bring corn liquor.
No. Really,|I don't need it.
Ha! Not for you.|For boy.
- Me?|- He pass out soon.
- She'll be fine. She just|needs rest. Don't worry.
She'll be fine.
Hey!
It's his favorite thing in the world-
that stupid ball.
It was our dad's|back on Earth.
Every time|he kicks that thing,
my brother thinks|he's in a big grass field.
That's some imagination.
Yeah, well- There. He had|a little help. See what I mean?
That's him- our dad.
That's where my brother|got the idea.
Hmm.
Here on the colony,|most people got to shut their eyes...
to see anything other|than rusted spaceship hulls.
Not my brother.
Later.
Ahem.
- Hey. Sleeping Beauty.|- How long was I out?
Not long.|A few hours.
Korso and Preed. I can't believe it.
How long before|they reach the Titan?
They won't.|We're gonna beat them to it.
Akima, we're gonna|stop them.
Was I seriously injured|back there or something,
'cause, funny, I thought you just said|we're gonna stop them?
- That's right.|- Cale, we're in the middle of nowhere.
- That's right.|- Cale, we're in the middle of nowhere.
There's just the two of us,|and, oh, yeah- We don't have a ship.
- Oh, we've got a ship.|- Really?
- Mm-hmm.|- I'd like to see this ship.
Check it out.
- Oh, no.|- Oh, yes.
Well, she's been a great house,|but I don't think she'll fly.
Well, she's still got her ionic|vacuum drive. Those never drain.
- This thing's a wreck.|- I can fix it, but do you think-
Don't worry.|I can fly it.
Good, 'cause|we launch yesterday.
I've gotta getaway from here
It couldn't be too soon
'Cause I've seen the stars|for you and me
Like rockets|to the moon
You take me everywhere|that I've never been
Show me the meaning|of what life had to give
I don't know|what to say
-I think that maybe|I'm in over my head
-Stuck in the bed|Somethin' she said|- Own!
-Makes me think|that I'm in over my head
Over my head
T-minus ten, nine,
eight, seven,
-six, five,|- Well, we're good to go.
- Let's hope she starts.|- four, three,
- two,|- Oh, she'll start.
- one, zero.|- Yeah, right.
- She'll start.
Uh, I'd lean back|if I were you.
- Should I get out and push?
- Whoa!|- Ha.
- Told ya.|- Okay. You did your job.|Now let me do mine.
These collisions keep slowing us down.
- So where is it?|- My scanners are picking up|a cornucopia of nothing.
Just find it!|Gune, are you sure about that map?
You give me map. I follow map.|What more can Gune do?
- If Professor Screw loose led us|off course, I'm going to-|- Hold it!
- What is it?|-A ship. Three keks east.
- Drej?|- No. Human craft heading|for the break zone. Fast.
- How fast?|- I'd say recklessly fast.
- Akima.|- Ah, good!
Akima. Cale.|I hail on communicator.
No hailing.|Just follow them.
Okay. I follow, but I plot|new route through safer quadrant.
- If we-
- We're going to follow them,
and we'll run silent.
The reflections|are throwing my readings off.
Uh, Akima, I think|we're getting closer.
- Cale! It's Korso.|- Huh?
- He's right behind us.|- What?
We've got to lose him.
- We'll never find them in there.|- We're going in.
- Stith, where are they?|- I can't get a reading.
There's too much ice,|too much interference, Captain.
- Captain.|- Whoa!
- Whoa!
A heat signature.|I see them!
- Where are they?|- Behind us!
- No!
Where is he?
I-I don't know.
- What?|- Well, we found them, Captain.
No more heat readings.|All gone.
Until they make their move,|we stay here.
- They're moving out, I think.|- Now we've got 'em.
- I can't move. They'll see us.|- Maybe that's exactly what we want.
A reading!|Yeah. They're right in front of us.
You're not gonna|get past me, kid.
- There, Captain!|- That's right, Cale. Keep coming.
Closer.|They're getting closer!
There she is, Captain.
No. There, Captain.
Which one?
Look!|They're behind us now!
- Ready lasers!|- I'm on it!
I need one clear shot.|Don't lose 'em.
- Ice! Turn back!|- No way.
- We'll never make it through.|- We don't have a choice.
- Akima! Uh-|- Yes, Cale?
- Pull up!|- Shut up!
Let's not|do that again.
Hold it.|Look there.
Akima, turn around.|Turn around!
That's it.
Wow. Have you ever|seen anything like it?
Once.
- What are we looking for?|- This ship's gonna|help us save mankind.
- What exactly are we looking for?|- Not a clue.
DNA coding.
" Mammal.|Tursiops truncatus. "
The bottle-nosed dolphin.
These are animals-|or they will be.
" Leopard.|Papilio glaucus. "
Swallowtail butterfly.|It's all here.
- Cale?|- I'm over here!
Look at this.
Dad.
I could never have done anything|like this when I was your age.
- I wonder who you take after?
- Whoa!
Hey.
- The Titan. Quick.|- Ready to go, Captain.
You two stay here.|Preed and I can wrap this up.
- But- Here. Hold on to this|in case there's any trouble.
Hmm.|N-N-N-N-No.
Those two are|becoming a problem.
- We need to take care of it.
I'm one step|ahead of you.
- Watch the ship.|I always watch the ship.|- This doesn't feel right.
- I wanna go! I wanna go!|- Captain said stay.
It's Captain I don't trust.
Hmm. You know,|you may be right. Come on.
- Stith here.
- Stith,|is Gune right there with you?|- Yeah.
- Then please tell him good-bye|for me, won't you?|- What?
- Gune!
- I knew it! I knew it! - Get out of there!
- Cale. If this message has-|- Dad?
If this message has been activated,|then I have died before finding you.
I hope|you can forgive me...
for breaking my promise|to see you again.
What I wouldn't give|to see you now.
I can't change the past, Cale,|but I hope I can give you a future.
This ship has the power|to create a planet,
to create a new home.
Your ring would have activated|the transformation sequence,
but the Titan's power cells|were drained in the escape.
- They are unable|to fuel the transformation.
It is up to you|to restore their power.
After that,|the procedure is simple.
- He always did talk too much.
- Oh!|- Ah-Ah-Ah.
Korso, don't do this.|This ship is all we have.|Doesn't that mean anything to you?
Sorry, kid.|World blowing up changes a man.
- Look. The Drej-|- See, you can't beat the Drej.
No one can.|They're pure energy.
Face it, Cale.|You've lost.
- Actually, you all have.
Captain, if you'll relieve yourself|of your fire arm-
- You backstabbing-|- Well, I learned from the best.
But it wasn't just the money|the Drej were offering.
It was the health plan|that came with it.
They'd let me live provided|I kill all of you before they get here.
They should be here shortly.
- Oh.|- Ah.
- Gune? Gune?
- Gune!
- Gune, are you all right?|- I'm- I'm all right f-for business.
- Gune.|- I'll just take a little nap...
since I'm so- very sleepy.
Ahh.
- Preed, you can't trust the Drej.|- Akima.
Oh, stop! There's nothing more|tiresome than last-minute heroics!
- Ooh!|- Ah!
- Captain? Mm. Oh.
Ah! Ahh.
- Hide 'n' seek, is it?|Or should we play...
search and destroy!
- Preed!|- Ah!
- Give me the ring.|- Aw. You're not gonna shoot me, kid.
Hmm.
- Hyah! Hyah!|- Ooh!
- Oh!
- Oh!
- Cale!|- Ah. Aah!
Hold on!|Oh!
You can let go, kid.|I wouldn't blame you.
No! I'm not|gonna let go!
- Korso!
- Cale! The Drej!
- You okay?
- Yeah.
- Let's not panic.|- We've gotta get out of here|before the Drej arrive.
- No, we're gonna stay right here.|- Right here is about to be blown apart.
- This could be a good thing. Wait.|- Come on, Cale!
Wait.|We can make this work.
- What did Korso say about the Drej?|- That you can't beat them.
Right!|Because they're pure energy.
If I can reroute the system to use Drej|energy, that would start the reactor.
The energy relays are linked to these|circuit breakers, so this should do it.
- Yes!|- Are you sure this will work?
Come on!|I can fix this!
I need to get outside.|Can you and Stith cover me?|I just need a little time.
- How much time?|- Uh, a few hours!
What can you do|in a few minutes?
- Here they come.|- Not if I can help it.
- Cale, you're|a sitting duck up there.|- I'm all right.
- Oh!|- Come on!
Whoo!
- Oh, fantastic.|I only have two guns left.|- Let's make 'em count.
- Akima, I can't shake 'em.|- I've got him.
Ah! I'm out!
Let's do this! Whoo!
- Well, guys, it's been fun.|- A little help here, Akima. Whoa!
- Cale!
I finished my nap!
- Gune!|- Who's your daddy?
Gune's your daddy!
Oh, no! No, no, no, no!
Oh!
- Cale, are you all right?|- I'm pinned.
- Stith, who's outside with Cale?
- Hi, kid.|- It's Korso!
You'll never get a cleaner shot, Korso.
- Whoa!
Maybe we can beat 'em|after all.
Uh-
Go ahead.|I'll cover you.
Yeah, yeah. Right.
Okay.
- Oh, great.
- Fry, Drej!|- Ah!
They're leaving.
Uh-oh.|We got a problem.
Ah. Go. They're|joining the mother ship.
- But the breaker!|- Cale, she's preparing to fire!
- You can't stay out here.|- I'll take care of it, so let's move.
- You can't stay out here.|- I'll take care of it, so let's move.
Hey, hey!
Go on. Get out of here.
Cale, where are you?
Go. It's better this way.
Uh-
Here they come again.
Come on.|Faster. Faster.
Come on. Come on.
Ooh.
- Oh!|- Whoa!
This is amazing.
I know.
What are|you going to call it?
I think|I'll call it... Bob.
- Bob? - You don't like " Bob"?
You can't|call a planet " Bob."
Oh, so now you're the boss.|You're the king of Bob.
- Well, no, but-|- What?
Can't you just|call it Earth?
Well, no one said|you had to live on Bob.
I'm never...
calling it that.
Ohh, oh, oh
Ohh, oh, oh, oh
Ohh, oh, oh
Ohh, oh, oh, oh
Take the path|of least resistance
In to the great unknown
No directory assistance
Now you're on your own
But if you're looking|for a new world
Just open up your eyes
-Because it's not quite paradise|-No
But it sure feels like home
Not quite paradise
And we can rent to own
it'll be all right
No, it's not quite
Paradise
Tomorrow's an illusion
And yesterday's a dream
Today is absolution
But you gotta let it be
And if you're looking|for the answer
It's right be fore your eyes
-Although it's not quite paradise|-No, oh, No, oh
But it sure looks like home
Not quite paradise
And we are not alone
it'll be all right
No, it's not quite
Paradise
Somewhere|from the edge of time
When the poets gather|Words don't rhyme
I'll call you up and say
We made it okay
Somewhere|in the back of your mind
When you see your demons|come to life
And the world|just fades away
You know it's okay
Ohh, oh, oh
- Ohh, oh, oh, oh|-It's gonna be okay
Ohh, oh, oh
Ohh, oh, oh, oh
- Okay|- Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
- Okay|- Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
-But it's not quite paradise|- Oh, no
But it sure feels like home
Not quite paradise
We'll make this place|our own
Not quite paradise
We can rent to own
Not quite paradise
We don't have to be alone
-Not quite paradise|-No, no
-No, no, no, no|-Not quite paradise
-No, no, Yeah|-Not quite paradise
Now we've traveled far
But are we any nearer
There's a feelin'|we're reaching for
In the fields|where it all began
Listen, do you hear
I thought I heard a promise
But that empty feeling grows
And I'm scared|that I will forget
But I
I can remember
Look around and around
There's people|still hanging on
See, it's me|I'm the one
Believe in me|I've just begun
We'll be here|when the lights come on
When it all comes down
To me and you
Just a boy and girl
Trying to|change a cold world
I don't expect|that you'd understand
When you look|at this empty land
But I
I can remember
Look around and around
People still hanging on
And I
I can remember them
Be it night or day
Like lovers left holding on
You see it's me|I'm the one
Believe in me|I've just begun
And we'll be here|when the lights come on
When it all comes down
To me and you
And I
I can remember
Look around and around
People still hanging on
And I
I can remember them
Be it night or day
Like lovers left holding on
And I
I can remember
Look around and around
People still hanging on
Andonandonandonandon
On andonandonandon
-I remember|- On andonandon
You keep me holding on
- You keep me holding on|-Andonandonandonandon
On andonandonandon
On andonandon
Like lovers left holding on
Andonandonandonandon
On andonandonandon
On andonandon
Like lovers left holding on
