- [Narrator] The year is 2980,
and we now know that
death is not the end.
A soul can be extracted
from the recently deceased
and be used to create a
blue liquid called essence.
It can bring a
person back to life
in the form of a
cyborg-human hybrid.
It's an expensive process
used by the rich and powerful.
The rest, they do what
they can to survive.
(dramatic music)
- [Judge] Malachi Monroe,
you have been charged
with the crime
of interstellar
civil disobedience.
How do you plead?
- I didn't do anything wrong.
- I'm afraid your lack
of honesty and remorse
leaves me no choice but to
find you guilty as charged.
- But you have the wrong-
(box clanks)
(dramatic music continues)
- Malachi Monroe,
may the gods have mercy
on your soul. (laughs)
(controller beeps)
(box clanks)
(Malachi screaming)
(lava exploding)
(Nolgath roaring)
(dramatic music continues)
Kip Corman, you
have been charged
with the crime of
interstellar theft.
How do you plead?
- The only thing I'm guilty of
is being a better
scavenger than you.
- Yet here you are
about to be dropped
in the mouth of a Nolgath.
I find you guilty as charged.
- Why don't you
drop the judge act?
You're a murderous leech
that couldn't even find
the Dolstar Crystal,
even though it was practically
sitting in your own backyard.
- It's a shame your daughter
couldn't be here
to see this moment.
When I find her,
and I will find her,
she'll suffer the
same fate as you.
(controller beeps)
(box clanks)
(dramatic music continues)
Any last words?
- I'll see you soon.
- I will tell everyone
that your final words
were incoherent groveling
and begging for your life.
Goodbye, Kip Corman.
(controller beeps)
(box clanks)
(Nolgath roaring)
(tractor beam zapping)
(gun rattling)
(explosion booms)
(door whirring)
No!
(buttons beeping)
- Give me the helm, sweetie.
You cut that pretty
close, don't you think?
- I barely got this running.
I'll need to finish repairs
when we get to the trading post.
- I got one more
thing I gotta do.

- [Computer] Alert.
Quantum circuit unstable.
- [Kip] Taylor.
What are you doing?
- How'd it go?
- Is this salvageable?
- No.
- Dammit.
- Elnora?
- I swear that woman, she gets
a kick outta screwing with me.
- She owns the only trading post
this side of Wantanian Skytrail.
- So?
- She screws everyone over.
- How's the ship
looking? Can we go?
- The light system is
at quarter capacity,
and the hyperdrive
is in rough shape.
- How rough?
- We'll be able to make
one jump, but that's it.
We'll need at least five
million credits to fix it.
- Dammit.
- What did we get
for the crystal?
- 500,000.
(Taylor scoffs)
- Yeah, she totally screwed you.
- Yeah, yeah, she screwed me...
(siren wailing)
- Dad?
What did you do now?
- I didn't do anything.
There was this coin.
It was like a...
It's, it's-
- Not again.
- She left it out. I
didn't know what it was.
- Dad!
(engine whirring)
Is this a "we should probably
get going" situation,
or a "we should get the
hell outta here" situation?
- You know I don't
like that language
coming out of your mouth.
However, in this situation,
hell is appropriate.
(computer beeps)
Speak of the devil.
- You must be the dumbest
man in all the galaxy.
- (scoffs) I'm not the
one who left an artifact
from the Dandolian
period sitting out.
- Return the coin at once
or suffer the consequences.
- And what would
the consequences be?
- I will tear you limb from limb
and bathe in your
blood and your tears.
- Wow.
- That must really mean
something to you, huh?
- It belonged to my
sister before she died.
It was her most
prized possession.
- I'm sorry, I didn't
know that. My condolences.
How did she die?
- I killed her.
- Okay.
(dramatic music)
(computer beeping)
Blast off.
- [Officer] Warning.
Unauthorized ignition.
750 Penalty points

(dramatic music continues)
- [Officer] Your navigator's
license is revoked
by the Department of Space
Vehicles under Code 750 point-
(computer beeps)
- [Computer] Gravity
activated. Astrogator engaged.
- What are we gonna do now?
- We gotta find a big
score. Get back on our feet.
- You shouldn't have
spent everything on-
- Hey, hey, hey.
Taylor, there's a lot of
things I regret in my life,
but that's not one of 'em.
(pensive music)
Remember back in the day,
we'd head out into deep space.
No chart, no plans.
- We never had to
worry about credits.
It was just about having fun.
- You said we can
make one more jump.
- Yeah.
- Let's make it and
see where we end up.
- A good old-fashioned
adventure.
- Exactly.
(Taylor laughs)
(computer beeping)
- [Computer] Neutrino
drive activated.
- Hit it.
- [Computer] Hyperjump
in three, two, one.
(ship whooshes)
(dramatic music)
(engine roaring)
Hypernavigator calculating.
- [Ezekiel] Come on,
let me handle this.
- I am not going to risk
having to waste credits
to bring you back again.
- I won't let you down, Mother.
- (scoffs) That'll be a first.
- [Officer] Cleanup in Zone 7.
- [Computer] Prisoner secured.
- [Operator] Zone 7 is secured.
- Fine. Assemble a small team
and retrieve that artifact.
- What about Kip?
- Bring him back
to me if you can.
- And if I can't.
- Do what needs to be done.
- He's as good as dead.
(dramatic music)
(engines blasting)
(ships whooshing)
- [Computer] Scanning
hyperchannels for tracker.
- I hit them with a tracker.
They did a jump to Sector 63A.
Follow me.
- [Gentry] Copy that.
(ships whooshing)
- Oh, I'm so glad I found you.
It's been so lonely
all by myself.
Now will you dance with me?
Just you and me.
(cheerful music)
Wow.
(alarm blaring)
(dramatic music)
Oh no.
(engines rumbling)
(dramatic music continues)
- And there she is.
- I don't know how she
thought she could escape us.
- [Computer] Docking
coordinates locked.
Scanning comms channels.
- Can we link to her comms?
- Negative. She's blocking us.
- All right. Let's
knock on the door.
- Okay.
- Hey, a friendly knock.
She's no used to us dead.
- As you wish.
(computer beeping)
- [Computer] Weapon
systems armed.
(beam zaps)
Station shields disabled.
- Manx, prepare to
board the station.
(dramatic music continues)
(ship whooshes)
- [Computer] Target
detected. Sector 5.
- Can you track that pod?
- Give me a minute.
Honing in on it.
- [Computer] Tracking target.
- Got it.
- (chuckles) You can
run but you cannot hide.
(ship whooshes)
(ship whooshes)
- [Computer] Neutrino
core streaming.
Life support steady.
Charging EM batteries.
- We'll get her back.
- We never should've
been in that sector.
- Well, I forgave
you. Mom will, too.
- I hope so.
(Taylor groans)
Why don't you get some rest?
- I'm totally awake. (yawns)
Maybe a nap will be okay.
- Go on. I got this.
(pensive music)
- Love you, Dad.
- I love you, baby.
And I love you.
And I'll get you back.
(melancholy music continues)
(melancholy music continues)
(melancholy music continues)
- [Taylor] Goodnight, Mom.

- [Computer] Geoscanning.
Planet profile: Class 1.
- [Nina] And we have arrived.
- Good. I need you to
stay with the ship.
- Oh, let Manx stay.
- I need someone I can trust.
- [Computer] Autopilot engaged.
- Manx is too dumb to even
think about betraying you.
Come on, just
let me go.
- Fine, but you cannot
harm this woman in any way.
You understand?
- Aw!
You're no fun.
- [Computer] Approaching target.
- And soon I will
have all I desire.
- And what is it
that you desire?
- The universe.
(dramatic music continues)
(ship whooshing)
- [Computer] Warning.
Stellastar Station ahead.
(computer beeps)
(ship whooshing)
- Stellastar, this is Captain
Kip Corman. Are you there?
- [Computer] Scanning
for life signs.
- [Kip] Stellastar, are
you in need of assistance?
(computer beeping)
- [Computer] Weapons scan clear.
(melancholy music)
- Screw it.
(ship whooshing)
(ship clanking)
(monitors beeping)
(Taylor groans)
(melancholy music)
(Taylor groans)
- Dad?
- Good morning, princess.
- Where am I?
- You're in a Class
Six recovery unit.
- Where's Mom?
(melancholy music continues)
- Um...
I spent
everything we had,
but I didn't have enough
to complete the process.
I'm sorry.
(monitors beeping)
(melancholy music continues)
(Taylor gasps)
(Taylor exhales)
(Taylor sighs)
(gentle music)
(gentle music continues)
- Are we docked?
- Space station floating dark.
- Do they need help?
- I offered. No reply.
- So it's abandoned?
- Apparently so.
- You know what that means.
- Back in the game, baby.
- Yeah!
(ship screeching)
Oh! (groans)
The zero gravity stabilization
unit's malfunctioning.
- Can you fix it?
- Not without parts.
- I'm gonna have to manually
rebalance the thermothrusters.
Would you mind doing the
recon yourself, then?
- Of course.
(ship screeching)
(Taylor groans)
I'll check for
parts first in order
to get this old lady
back up and running.
- Hey, she might be old,
but this ain't no lady.
Keep me updated on
what you find, huh?
- Will do.
- Maybe you'll find
something cool.
(dramatic music)
- We're almost there.
(dramatic music continues)
(aliens chattering
in foreign language)
(alien speaking in
foreign language)
- What did he say?
- Something about
wanting to die.
- Well, we can be hospitable.
Let's honor their request.
Tell them we accept.
(Wade in foreign language)
(alien speaking in
foreign language)
- [Dykstra] There we go!

(dramatic music continues)
- That was fun.
- [Dykstra] Let's go.
(ship screeching)
(Kip groans)
- [Computer] Mag Locks released.
- Hey, Taylor, any
luck over there?
- [Taylor] I found some
of the parts we need.
- Can you tell what
kind of station it is?
- [Taylor] It appears to be a
research station of some sort.
- Galactic or privately owned?
- [Taylor] Definitely private.
There is some contraband.
- Anything interesting?
- [Taylor] A whole
bunch of liquid stuff.
- Ooh. I'll get
a bottle of that.
(ship screeching)
(Kip groans)
Make it two.
(foreboding music)
(gun zaps)
(door whooshes)
- Do you think those
things took her?
- No.
But you gotta admit,
she's pretty crafty.
- She's still on the station.
(foreboding music continues)
(mysterious music)
(mysterious music continues)
(Jackie sneezes)
- Bless you.
- Thank you.
(mysterious music continues)
(suspenseful music)
(suspenseful music continues)
(lock clanks)
Hello.
- [Taylor] I'm back on
board. Meet me in the back.
(computer beeping)
- Stay right there.
- Put the gun away.
You're gonna wanna hear
what she has to say.
- First, we need to get outta
here as soon as possible.
We don't have much time.
- I'm the captain of this ship.
I'll decide what
needs to be done.
- Look, I've got 16
million credits on here.
(dramatic music)
- Dad.
- You're lucky. The captain
just decided it's time to go.
- Okay.
(ship clanks)
(engine whirring)
- [Computer] Sublight
engines online.
(ship whooshing)
(dramatic music continues)
- All right, tell me again,
where did you find her?
- She was hiding
in a space suit.
- And you trust her?
- She seems harmless.
- Taylor, that's what you said
about that three-headed
baby dragon
that grew into the
destroyer of worlds.
- I don't think we have
to worry about that.
- Hmm.
(dramatic music)
- [Computer]
Scanning for targets.
- Were they worthy opponents?
- No. They weren't
much of a challenge.
- Nothing's a challenge
for the mighty Manx.
- I strike fear in the
hearts of those who cross me.
I demand my turn.
I will go on that ship
and kill that woman dead.
- And you were worried about me.
- Sit down!
We can in no way, shape,
or form hurt the woman.
You win by bringing
her back to me alive.
- Then I will deliver her to you
alive
and unharmed.
- Okay, talk.
- My name's Jackie.
It's nice to meet you.
Aren't you gonna
tell me your name?
I know your daughter's name's
Taylor. She's very pretty.
- Kip.
- Oh, that's a nice name.
Captain Kip.
- Just Kip.
- Yes, sir.
I'm a scientist. I specialize
in celestial cartography.
- Celestial cartography?
- Mm-hmm, it's a
branch of cartography
that deals with mapping
stars, galaxies,
other astronomical objects
on the celestial sphere.
- Wait, you told
me you were hiding
from some dangerous people.
- Yes, Dykstra, the leader
of the group after me.
He read some of my theories
regarding some ships
getting lost in the
Triangulum Rift,
including the
legendary Deepstar.
- People have been looking
for the Deepstar for years.
It can't be found.
- That's 'cause they can't
find the distress beacon.
You find the beacon, you
can find the Deepstar.
I know where it is.
It's what brought Dykstra to me.
He said he was part
of a private firm
seeking a salvage claim,
and he wanted me to
plot them the course.
Their goal was to
find the Deepstar
and claim the vast
riches on board.
I started to notice that some
things were off about Dykstra,
and his team.
- What do you mean by off?
- They pretty much kill
everyone they encounter.
And they enjoy it.
I realized that once I found
the Deepstar, I'd be next.
So when we stopped on Dover,
I borrowed a ship and escaped.
- Borrowed?
- Without permission.
I feel bad about it. I do.
The ship was damaged
in the escape,
and dead as a
Carnelian cowerpuss.
- Well, you're lucky you
stumbled upon the station.
- Oh, that wasn't luck. I
worked there 10 years ago.
The lucky part was my
credentials were still valid.
My goal was to get to the
station, borrow another ship,
but the station was empty.
The log said that they
were on a research mission
to the outer rim.
My ship was too damaged
to fix, so I waited,
hoping that someone
would show up.
- If we find the Deepstar,
we could get enough
credits to bring Mom back.
- Why do you trust us?
- You haven't tried to kill me.
- Well, what about these
guys you said are after you?
- Oh.
- Don't worry.
I left something for 'em.
- That's my girl.
(dramatic music)
- Jackie!
It's the mighty Manx!
I am here to return
you to Dykstra.
(whimsical music)
(device beeping)
Where are you hiding?
Oh!
(device beeping)
- I can't believe
you let him go alone.
- Even Manx could
not screw this up.
(explosion booming)
(dramatic music)
- [Computer] Debris collision.
- What the hell happened?
- (sighs) Well, it couldn't
have been a power surge.
The station was dead.
- Dead is what Manx is,
though I will not
share a tear for him.
Jackie, though, we needed her.
- I know.
- Check the ship
and try to find out
what kind of damage we incurred.
- [Computer] Warning.
Structural impacts.
(Dykstra sighs)
Systems alert.
Life systems compromised.
- The Deepstar was so close.
I could almost feel it.
- There still may be hope.
I found something-
- She was the only person who
had any chance of finding it.
- Well if you would
let me finish.
I found a signal for a ship
that recently left the station.
She may have escaped on it.
- Can you find it?
- Already on it.
(suspenseful music)
(ship whooshing)
- [Computer]
Astrocharts calculating.
(whimsical music)
- Don't touch that.
- Ooh!
- Stop touching things!
- Ah.
- Stop!
Please.
- Excuse me.
I fixed the turbo thrusters,
but the hyperspeed
is still shot.
- Good work.
- [Computer] Sublight
incursion. Proximity alert.
- I think we got company.
(ominous music)
- Did you really think you
could run across the galaxy
with my property and
I wouldn't find you?
Tell me that you're
not that stupid.
- I'm not that stupid.
- You're in no position
to be a smartass.
- Am I a smartass
or am I stupid?
You know, you're starting
to sound confused, Elnora.
- I will make you wish
that you were never born!
I will rip out your fleshy parts
and proudly display them
on my desk in a glass jar.
That way, if anyone thinks
of ever crossing me again,
they'll see what lies
ahead in their future.
- This is my old boss.
- Oh. Hi, I'm Jackie.
- Shut up!
- She's rude.
- Uh, guys, I would save this
conversation for another time.
(dramatic music)
- Warning. Proximity Alert.
Multiple sectors.
- Are you thinking
what I'm thinking?
- Probably not.
- What are we thinking?
- Sit down.
(ships whooshing)
(dramatic music continues)
- You will never
get away from me,
ever.
(computer beeps)
- (laughs) We can thank
the asteroid field
for that bit of luck.
(engines whirring)
- What are you waiting for?
- They're entering
an asteroid field.
- So what?
- It's too dangerous.
They'll never survive.
- I wouldn't be too
sure about that.
- I'm not scared. I'll go
in there and make you proud.
- I would expect nothing
less of my flesh and blood.
- For the family, I will-
- All right, just
get on with it!
(engine whirring)
(ship whooshes)
- [Computer] Warning. Warning.
(ship whooshing)
(dramatic music continues)
Collision imminent.
(ship whooshing)
Hostiles approaching.
- Guys, we have company.
(lasers zapping)
(explosion booming)
- I order you to support him.
- Are you serious?
- Help him or don't
bother coming back.
(engines whirring)
(thrusters blasting)
(lasers zapping)
- [Kip] This was a bad idea.
- Too late now.
(lasers zapping)
(ships whooshing)
(dramatic music continues)
(lasers zapping)
He's right on us.
(lasers zapping)
- I can't shake him.
But...
- [Computer] Warning.
Collision alert.
- I can bake them. You ready?
- Yeah.
- What now?
- Go!
(impact thuds)
(Jackie gasps)
- [Computer] Warning. Warning.
Collision imminent.
(engine whirring)
(lasers zapping)
(dramatic music continues)
- Not again.
(explosion booming)
(engines whirring)
- Way to go, Ezekiel!
- Time to get out of here.
(ships whooshing)
- Oh, you did.
(Kip laughs)
- Y'all are nuts!
- Status report.
- The ship has been destroyed.
- Are you sure?
- Yes. There's been
a massive explosion.
- Ezekiel should be
in communication range
on the other side of the
asteroid field momentarily.
(ship whooshing)
(dramatic music)
- You're alive?
- And well.
The other ship, I'm
afraid not so much.
- My son, Ezekiel, was
piloting that ship.
- I didn't know that.
From one parent to another,
I'm truly sorry, Elnora.
- Sorry doesn't
replace the credits
I'm going to have to spend
to bring him back again.
- The credits, that's what
you're upset about? The credits?
- Mark my words.
You will pay!
(engines droning)
(computer beeping)
- [Computer] Rebooting.
- How much damage
have we sustained?
- She'll fly, but just barely.
- Well, that's all we need.
Nina is tracking a ship.
- You think she escaped?
- I hope so.
Otherwise all this
is for nothing.
(dramatic music)
- You sure it's this one?
- If the coordinates were
input correctly, then yes.
- I know why no one's
found the beacon.
- Why?
- This is planet Zeno.
It's also known
as a death planet,
rumored to be
inhabited by giants.
They'd see us coming
from miles away.
- [Jackie] Okay.
- What about the pod?
It's small. It might be able
to slip through undetected.
- It's a delivery
system, Taylor.
It's designed to
be flown remotely.
- But there are controls.
I've used it before.
I can fly it.
- No, no, we're not
doing this, okay?
All right. I'll do it.
- No! The controls require
minute adjustments.
You're too heavy handed.
- I'll go.
- It's our best chance
of getting Mom back.
- We're not even
sure it's down there.
- May I?
- Go ahead.
- Okay.
We're close enough
now that I think
that we can hear
the distress beacon.
(beacon chiming)
You hear that?
It's there!
(bright, hopeful music)
- Dad.
We have to do it.
- I can't go through
it again, Taylor.
- I won't let that happen.
I promise.
- Take a rifle.
- Okay.
(dramatic music)
(Kip sighs)
(keypad beeping)
(door whooshes)
(dramatic music continues)
(pod whirring)
- [Computer] Engines to speed.
Trajectory calculating.
(dramatic music continues)
(engine whirring)
(pod clanks)
- I shouldn't have let her go.
- Do you really think
you could've stopped her?
- No.
- I just can't stand not knowing
what's going on down there.
- She'll be fine.
I can tell, she's special.
(dramatic music)
(footsteps approaching)
(dramatic music continues)
- Whoa!
(creature growls)
You are a big guy.
(creature growling)
Okay, move along, big guy.
(gun zapping)
(explosion booming)
(creature growls)
Okay, I get it now.
(dramatic music)
(tracker hissing)
(tracker beeping)
(triumphant music)
(triumphant music continues)
(beacon clanking)
(triumphant music continues)
(melancholy music)
- Who's the picture of?
- That is my wife.
- She's pretty.
I always wanted to
be part of a family.
Where is she?
- She's...
The beacon's moving.
(suspenseful music)
- Ha! That means she has it.
She has it!

(dramatic music)
- What's going on?
- [Computer] Tractor
alert. Tractor alert.
- Oh no!
(dramatic music continues)
- She should be back now.
- The beacon stopped moving.
(computer beeping)
- Who am I speaking to?
- Captain Kip
Corman. Who are you?
- My name is Dykstra. I'm
sure you've heard about me.
- I have.
- Then you know the
position you're in.
I have your woman.
- What I do know is that if
you hurt her, I will kill you.
- I'm not gonna hurt her,
but my friend here,
that's a different story.
All I have to do
is snap my finger
and things can get very messy.
I'll make you a trade.
I will dock your ship,
I give you your woman,
you give me mine,
and that's the only
offer on the table.
I know I can count on you
to make the right decision.
(computer beeps)
- I knew I shouldn't
have let it go.
- It's okay.
I'll go.
- If he's who you say he is,
he'll kill us all regardless.
- So what do we do?
- Kill him first.
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music continues)
(docking mechanism clanks)
(alarm blaring)
Eyes open, Jackie.
(ominous music)
Jackie?
(suspenseful music)
(gun zaps)
(both grunting)
(gun zaps)
- That's enough!
Nina, come and join the party.
- Gladly.
- I'm sorry.
- What did you do to her?
- I gave her a sedative.
- Do whatever you want
to me. Just let her go.
- I was gonna.
I'm not the monster
I'm made out to be.
But you know, I changed my mind.
You can keep Jackie.
I don't need her.
I have what I need.
- Why did you offer a trade?
Because you have something
really important that I want.
(foreboding music)
- Don't, don't touch her.
- I don't need her.
I need your ship.
See, this one has seen
better days
and it looks like you made
it worse, and for that,
I'm gonna keep this little
pretty thing as payment.
- I'll kill you. I swear to God.
(gun whirs)
- Famous last words.
(suspenseful music)
Goodbye, Captain.
(ship thudding)
- [Computer] Hull
integrity collapsed.
- What should we do with her?
- Leave her. They
can die together.
(blow thuds)
(ears ringing)
A captain is supposed to
go down with his ship.
Lucky for me, this
is your ship now.
(thudding)
(explosion booming)
(alarm blaring)
(Taylor moaning)
- Taylor!
(mom coughing)
Mom
Taylor!
Taylor!
(alarm blaring continues)
- Try not to move too much.
Don't worry. Effects of the
medication will soon subside.
(Taylor sighs)
- Can I get a swig of that?
(lips smacking)
You the enforcer of your team?
- I'm not part of any team.
- But you're the
tough guy, right?
- Yeah.
You could say that.
- Where are you from?
- Jeriba.
- Moon of criminal scum.
- You've been there?
- No.
But I've heard stories.
- Yeah.
The stories are pretty
bad, but it's way worse.
Definitely not a
place for women.
Maybe Nina.
She'd probably do all right.
(mysterious music)
My mom tried,
but...
- What happened?
- She got sick.
She used to scream
all night long.
The screams still
echo in my head.
And then she died.
- What are you doing
with these criminals?
- I am scum,
just like them.
- No.
You seem different.
(mysterious music continues)
(electricity zapping)
- Captain, can you hear me?
(Kip grunts)
Hey.
- How long have I been out?
- An hour or so.
- We got to get the ship up
and running and get after them.
Whoa!
We, uh,
we must have tools
and spare parts
somewhere around here, right?
- Yes. I gathered
everything I could find.
- All right, let's get to it.
(ship whooshing)
(mysterious music)
(Taylor laughing)
- This stuff is strong.
- Lightweight.
- You better not try anything.
- I'd like to try
a lot of things.
- Well, what are
you waiting for?
(mysterious music continues)
(mysterious music continues)
(mysterious music continues)
(gun whirring)
(mysterious music)
(Wade sniggers)
Tease.
- I will shoot you.
- Yeah, you don't
have the balls.
(gun clicks)
- Oh, I...
I think you need
this for it to work.
It's a shame.
I was hoping to get a
little bit of action first.
- Let's go.
- I'm over it, honey.
Maybe later.
- Captain, can I get
the slazon, please?
- Got it. Here.
- Thank you.
(slazon whirring)
Whoa, I'm feeling lightheaded.
- We're probably
running low on oxygen.
- How much time do we have?
- A ship this size,
well, three hours.
- Why do I feel a but coming?
- Well, the last hour,
the body will be
fighting to stay alive.
Physical activity will be
pretty much nonexistent.
- You coulda just
said two hours.
(ship whooshing)
- Your gun wasn't the
only thing I found.
Tell me, does it really bring
people back from the dead?
- A body dies.
Their soul and being can be
kept alive through extraction.
The body, created through
robotics and donor tissue,
is an exact replica.
- A cyborg-human hybrid's
hardly a human being.
- A body isn't what
defines a person.
It's their soul, their
essence that matters.
- Tell you what, If I ever
run into one of those freaks,
I'll kill it on principle alone.
- How would you even know?
- Oh, I'd know.
(Taylor gasps)
- Be careful with that.
- Who is it?
- My mom.
- Well, don't worry.
I'll take good care of her.
(electricity zaps)
- Ow!
Dammit!
God!
(tool clatters)
(tool whirring)
- You never did finish
telling me about your wife.
Please?
I'd really like to know.
- We were rich and
we loved adventures.
We went places we
never should've went.
And I took chances I
shouldn't have taken.
We crashed.
We lost an awful lot.
But I could buy it back.
So I thought.
I didn't realize how
expensive essence was.
I spent everything we had.
Now we do these
salvage missions,
hoping to get enough credits to
finish the process
of bringing her back.
- You will.
If everything they say
about the Deepstar is true,
you will have so many credits,
you'll have nothing to
worry about ever again.
You'll be set for life.
(brooding music)
- All I want is my family back.
- Then let's finish the
repairs and go get them.
(dramatic music)
(computer beeping)
- (chuckles) I told you I
would find the Deepstar.
- And I never doubted you.
- That's why you are the only
one I will share it with.
- What about Wade?
- Wade, he's too unstable.
- Hmm.
And when the time comes,
I want you to take care of him.
- Anything for you.
(dramatic music continues)
- My son
is dead again
because of you.
- He was a better pilot than me.
- Me too.
- So are you both saying
that my son is dead
because you're both
inadequate with your jobs?
- Yeah, uh, no. I mean, no.
(gun zaps)
(dramatic music)
- Ezekiel was the best.
I had no doubt in my mind
that he would
complete the mission.
- Are you saying that he failed?
- No. Yes.
(gun zaps)
(dramatic music continues)
- Prepare my ship.
I'll kill Kip myself.
- Well, only one
thing left to do.
- Well, stick it in.
- No, it's not that simple.
It could go in two places.
You put it one place
and it fixes the ship
and it brings the
main power online.
You put it in the other, it
manually starts the hyperdrive,
but if you start the hyperdrive
without being fully powered up,
the ship will be crushed
like an empty can.
- Well, which one does it go in?
- I don't know. Taylor
usually does this stuff.
- Come on.
We're running outta time.
Now we're gonna run into that
hour-long death struggle thing
and I would really like
to avoid that, please.
- All right.
Let's flip a coin.
- That is a Dandolian
Reclam. Where did you get it?
- I borrowed it.
Tails.
Left.
(system whirring)
- Hey!
We did it!
We did it! It's working!
(system zapping)
(ship clanking)
Oh!
(electricity zapping)
(Kip coughs)
(electricity zapping)
- How did you know
what would do that?
- The main metal in
the coin's absomium.
It disrupts magnetic fields.
It's why they
stopped making 'em.
Two outta three?
- No, I'm just gonna
switch it to the other one.
- [Computer] Rebooting.
(both laughing)
Restart protocols.
- I knew that.
- I hope Wade has been
taking good care of you.
Did you treat her right?
- A gentleman never tells.
- I bet.
I just wanna let you know
that we're getting close
to our destination.
Once we get the treasures
we seek, we'll let you free.
- That's a load of
shit, and you know it.
- I like your honesty.
So tell me, who's
this lovely lady?
- I think that's her mom.
I just so happen to
have her essence.
- There was a point in my
life this is all I wanted.
I had a wife once.
- You never told me that.
- Well, we all have our secrets.
My family was not
born into wealth.
We were not lucky like you.
When I lost her,
I really lost her.
You see, rich people don't
really know what life is.
You desire something, it's
right at your fingertips,
and you can fix any
mistake you make.
- That's not true.
- Oh, really?
This says different.
I assume the captain
was your dad.
And "was" is a key word here,
because he died an
excruciating death.
- I wouldn't be so sure of that.
- (scoffs) Unfortunately the
Sadar doesn't have a pod,
and the pod that we captured
you in is in this ship.
(dramatic music)
Maybe I'll bring your mom back,
and I'll make her my new wife.
(dramatic music continues)
Or maybe I'll take you.
- I will die before I let
a creep like you touch me.
- Hey!
You will show him the
respect that he deserves.
He's one of the best
men in the galaxy.
Rescued me from Slaver's Bay.
I owe him everything.
- So you traded one
slave life for another?
- (scoffs) I am no one's slave.
- Sure you are. You're just
too stupid to realize it.
- Oh, you think
you're tough, huh?
I will slap that grin
right off of your face.
- Oh, I'm sorry.
I don't fight girls.
(Dykstra grunts)
- I think I'm in love.
- Aw!
Does someone have
a little crush?
- Shut up!
(slap thwacks)
- You know,
I take back the creep thing.
You are pretty sexy.
Maybe I'll be your new slave.
(dramatic music)
(both grunting)
(punches thudding)
- That's enough, Nina.
- No, it's not!
(Nina grunts)
- [Wade] Jesus!
(punches thudding)
- You're all talk.
Maybe I'll keep you alive
and make you my slave.
- Now you're dreaming.
- Goodnight, sweetheart.
(Nina grunts)
(dramatic music continues)
(bones crunching)
(Taylor grunts)
(headbutt thuds)
(punches thudding)
Playtime's over.
(electricity zapping)
- [Computer] Systems alert,
systems alert, systems alert.
(alarm blaring)
(dramatic music continues)
- Hey!
Wade, get her!
Nina, come and help me.
(keypad beeping)
(door whirring)
(pod whirring)- [Computer]
Launch sequence activated.
(Taylor yells)
(dramatic music continues)
- The pod ejected with
two people inside.
I think Wade double-crossed us.
- Just stay focused.
(Taylor yelling)
- [Computer] Engines to speed.
(pod whooshing)
(Taylor grunting)
Trajectory calculating.
Warning, warning,
collision alert.

(engines whirring)
(hyperdrive booms)
- [Computer] Sublight
drives engaged.
Weapons systems armed.
Coordinates locked.
- Everything look good?
- Good enough.
- How are we gonna find them?
- They're on my
ship. It's my home.
I have a tracking device on it.
- Okay.
- And we also have
something they don't have.
- What?
- Working hyperdrive.
(Jackie chuckles)
(engines whirring)
(hyperdrive booms)
- Want me to track the pod?
- No, we have the beacon.
Check if we can fly.
- All systems seem to be intact.
- I'm coming for you.
Dykstra?
- Elnora, darling.
How are you doing?
- Where's Kip?
- Ah, right to
business as always.
Well we had a little
situation. I took his ship.
- Is he dead?
- That's hard to say.
I left him on board
my ship, though.
His situation was dire.
- I want him dead or alive.
- Fine. I'll send you the
transponder code of my ship.
You can track him down.
But I only ask you one thing.
- What's that?
- If he's still
among the living,
just let him know his
daughter suffered greatly.
- Is she still alive?
- Not for long.

- [Computer] Proton-based
life form detected.
- Oh, come on!
- [Narrator] Warning.
Nav systems down.
- A Zonarapolis space cloud?
I've heard of 'em.
I never saw one.
- We're not going anywhere.
Unless it decides to
move, we're stuck.
- Screw that. I'm gonna
blast our way out.
(cannons zapping)
- Hmm.
Nope.
- Dammit!
- Kip, you bastard.
I'm coming for you.
- I'd like to see you try.
- How dare you speak
to me that way?
- Aw. What are you
gonna do about it?
You'll see soon enough.
- Get ready for takeoff.
- And now you die.
(cannons zapping)
- [Computer] Nav systems up.
(Jackie laughs)
- You see, you can't
shoot it from inside,
but outside it's
a different story.
(cannons zapping)
- Huh. Jackie, you
are the greatest.
- Yay.
Let's go.
(engines roaring)
- No!
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music continues)
(dramatic music continues)
(dramatic music continues)
(dramatic music continues)
(dramatic music continues)
- Whoa!
(metal clanking)
- [Guardian] Warning. The
Deepstar is protected property.
You have 30 seconds
to vacate the area.
- No problem.
(lasers zapping)
(Taylor yells)
So much for 30 seconds!
- [Guardian] You now have 20
seconds to vacate the area.
(gun zapping)
(lasers zapping)
You now have 10 seconds
to vacate the area.
Your non-compliance
is unfortunate.
(lasers zapping)
(Taylor yells)
(Taylor groans)
I am now authorized
to take action.
- Hey, rust bucket!
- [Guardian] Warning. The
Deepstar is protected property.
(explosion booming)
(Taylor groans)
(tense, brooding music)
- Can I sit?
(tense, brooding music)
Why didn't you kill me
when you had the chance?
- It's not my style.
- Yeah?
Would you have left Nina
and Dykstra behind, too?
- Yeah.
In pieces.
(Wade chuckles)
- Then why me?
- Because we both
suffered the same loss,
and I think,
deep down,
you're a decent guy.
Deep, (groans) deep down.
- Hey, I wanna offer you a deal.
We find that treasure,
we split it.
(dramatic music)
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
- [Daniel] Greetings,
my friends.
- Are you injured?
- Who are you?
- We mean you no harm.
- We apologize for the guardian.
It is a defense system
for the Deepstar.
Unfortunately, we are
unable to shut it down.
- You were on the Deepstar?
- Yes. We crashed 20 years ago.
- You don't look like
you've been roughing it.
- Let us take you to our camp.
We'll explain everything there.
- Lead the way.
(brooding music)
We have a deal.
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music continues)
(dramatic music continues)
So you've lived
here the whole time?
- Yes.
- But it doesn't look like-
- Don't move!
- I'd listen to
her if I was you.
She'd like nothing more than
to blow your brains out.
- Drop your weapon.
Or don't. I'm good either way.
(brooding music)
- I knew I could count on you.
So,
tell me,
who are your new friends?
- Survivors of the Deepstar.
- Is that so? Anyone
else survive the crash?
- Just us.
Good, then you can tell
me where the treasure is,
because I looked
all over this dump.
I haven't seen anything.
- We moved the treasure.
- Where to?
- In a cave.
- [Dykstra] Where is the cave?
- It's a mile west of here.
- That's about where
we landed the ship.
- Good.
- Let's go for a little walk.
(dramatic music)
- Jackie, I want you
to stay with the ship.
Keep the engines warm.
- I wanna help you.
- This is my fight,
and I need you to keep the
ship ready to blast off.
- Dykstra's not the type
of guy just to let you go.
He will come after you.
- I won't give him
that opportunity.
(dramatic music continues)
- We're the first people you've
seen since you've crashed?
- That is correct.
- Why are you so calm?
- What do you mean?
- Well, if I hadn't seen another
human in a very long time,
I'd be overflowing
with excitement.
I would assume I
was being rescued.
- What do we need
to be rescued from?
- [Taylor] Well, for starters,
the three people forcing
us by gunpoint to a cave.
- There's nothing
to worry about.
- Everything will be
beautiful. You will see.
(dramatic music)
(thunder cracking)
(computer beeping)
(engines whirring)
(thrusters blasting)
(feet shuffling)
(stones clattering)
- Why did you stop?
- We have arrived.
- Where is the treasure?
- Right here.
- I don't see anything.
Why don't you go and check?
- You go and check.
- No, you go and check.
- (scoffs) Fine.
You're such a baby.
There's nothing there.
Let me see your flashlight.
(gasps)
- Behold.
- (screams) Help! Help me!
- Bask in its beauty.
(Nina screaming)
- [Nina] Help! Help me!
- Screw this. (screams)
(Nina screaming)
(flesh squelching)
- Oh god!
- I am the true treasure
of the universe.
- What I eat I can become.
- You should not be afraid.
The pain is fleeting.
It is truly
wonderful.
Come to us.
Come to us.
Come to us!
- [Taylor] Run!
- Jackie, no matter how
this turns out, thanks.
- I'm just sorry I
got you in this mess.
- Don't apologize.
We made a good team.
Taylor and I haven't let anybody
in our lives in a long time.
I guess you're kind of family.
- (chuckles) How touching.
- Where's my daughter?
- Well, I'm afraid
she didn't make it.
- No!
(gun blasts)
- Kip!
You monster!
- Hey!
Get us out of here now.
- Let go of me.
- Do it or I kill him.
- Do it.
- [Dykstra] Go!
(Taylor gasping)
(Taylor screams)
- You think you
can run from a god?
I was asleep, but now I'm awake,
and I'm hungry.
If it's any solace,
you'll live forever.
- Is this where I'm
supposed to realize
immortality is within my reach?
Succumb to its embrace?
- Yeah. I'm with her.
You gotta be out
your fricking mind
if you have me go back there.
- It's not about
making you go back.
It's about giving me
time to come forward.
(ominous music)
(creature growling)
- (screams) Oh god!
(pensive music)
- I spent the last year
searching for the Deepstar.
A bounty so big that the
entire galaxy could be yours.
It was all a lie.
There was no treasure.
I lost everything.
- What do you know about loss?
My daughter was all I had left.
- You're so melodramatic.
At least you'll see her soon.
(dramatic music)
(creature growling)
(creature growling)
(both groaning)
(creature squeals)
(creature growling)
(both laughing)
- It can't get out.
- Yeah, that's kinda too bad.
I was kinda hoping
to kick its ass.
- You wouldn't
have been able to.
Let's get outta here.
- You, uh, forgot something.
You dropped this.
- What?
No!
Why?
- You didn't let
me finish my story.
I couldn't stand my
mother's screaming anymore,
so I,
I strangled her.
I was just a kid,
but it was my first kill.
I learned it's what I do best.
I killed my mom.
Now I killed yours.
Come on!
(Taylor screams)
(Wade grunts)
(kick thuds)
(Taylor groans)
(punches thudding)
(kick thuds)
(punches thwacking)
(creature growls)
(dramatic music)
(ship whooshing)
- You.
- How did you escape?
- Nothing can quench my
thirst for vengeance.
Where's Kip?
- He's busy right now.
I had hoped to look into
his eyes as the light left.
Pity. I guess she'll have to do.
(cannons zapping)
- [Computer] Brace for impact.
- Ow!
(gun whirs)
- That must be Elnora
joining the party.
- Figures you and Elnora
would know each other.
- I gave her the
code to my ship,
knowing she will find your body,
owe me a favor.
(cannons zapping)
(explosion booming)
Don't worry.
The back of the ship
is impenetrable.
She'd have to attack
from the side.

That's it.

be able to tell.

- Elnora?
- Yeah.
I can't shake her.
- [Computer] Shields at 11%.
- Kip.
So good to see you.
- Elnora, can we just stop this?
- You stole something from me.
I won't stop,
ever.
- Okay.
We'll stop.
Full stop.
- Aye aye, captain.
(engines powering down)
(Elnora screaming)
(explosion booming)
(dramatic music)
- [Computer] Shields at 0%.
- I'm probably gonna feel
really weird about this later,
but that felt pretty good.
(Kip chuckles)

- Mom?
- Taylor!
- Mom?
- Ah, Taylor!
(melancholy music)
- I'm sorry, Mom.

- (laughs) Dad!
- Kip, I'm so sorry about-
- Taylor!
- What?
- Taylor!
(Kip laughs)
- Whoa!
(Taylor laughs)
Will you look at that. Hey!
(triumphant music continues)
- Dad.
- Taylor.
I thought I lost you.
- I told you, I would never
let that happen again.
- What happened?
Are you all right?
- Mom.
- Yes, honey.
(Taylor gasps)
(somber music)
- Lacey!
- No, that's not her.
- How is this possible?
(somber music continues)
- I failed.
- Oh, honey, you didn't fail.
You fought hard, and you won,
and you didn't give up.
There isn't much time.
The monster has never
consumed pure essence before.
I can feel it fighting.
It can't control me, so it
will destroy what's left.
- Can you forgive me Lacey?
- There's nothing to forgive.
The most important
thing you've ever done
lives and breathes.
You made the right decision
to bring Taylor back.
It wasn't her time yet.
- I miss you so much.
- Someday we'll
be together again.
I've been watching over
you from a beautiful place,
a place of love, and
that's all I feel for you.
There's no sadness. No regret.
I'll return there
and wait for you.
- I love you.
- I love you, Mom.
- I love you both.
(essence whirring)
(Lacey whooshes)
(bright music)
- What happened?
- Something.
Taylor, you remember
when we used to just jump
in the ship and head
out into deep space?
- No maps, no plans.
- Go wherever we want.
- Back in the game, baby.
(both laughing)
- Is there room for one more?
Yes. Come on.
(bright music continues)
Well, at least we got the parts
we needed from their ship.
- [Kip] It's gonna be great
having a working
hyperdrive again.
- [Jackie] Ooh, can I drive?
- [Kip] Don't touch that.
- [Computer] Hyperjump
in three, two, one.

- [Narrator] The year is 2980,
and we now know that
death is not the end.
A soul can be extracted
from the recently deceased
and be used to create a
blue liquid called essence.
It can bring a
person back to life
in the form of a
cyborg-human hybrid.
It's an expensive process
used by the rich and powerful.
The rest, they do what
they can to survive.
(dramatic music)
- [Judge] Malachi Monroe,
you have been charged
with the crime
of interstellar
civil disobedience.
How do you plead?
- I didn't do anything wrong.
- I'm afraid your lack
of honesty and remorse
leaves me no choice but to
find you guilty as charged.
- But you have the wrong-
(box clanks)
(dramatic music continues)
- Malachi Monroe,
may the gods have mercy
on your soul. (laughs)
(controller beeps)
(box clanks)
(Malachi screaming)
(lava exploding)
(Nolgath roaring)
(dramatic music continues)
Kip Corman, you
have been charged
with the crime of
interstellar theft.
How do you plead?
- The only thing I'm guilty of
is being a better
scavenger than you.
- Yet here you are
about to be dropped
in the mouth of a Nolgath.
I find you guilty as charged.
- Why don't you
drop the judge act?
You're a murderous leech
that couldn't even find
the Dolstar Crystal,
even though it was practically
sitting in your own backyard.
- It's a shame your daughter
couldn't be here
to see this moment.
When I find her,
and I will find her,
she'll suffer the
same fate as you.
(controller beeps)
(box clanks)
(dramatic music continues)
Any last words?
- I'll see you soon.
- I will tell everyone
that your final words
were incoherent groveling
and begging for your life.
Goodbye, Kip Corman.

(Nolgath roaring)

(gun rattling)
(explosion booms)
(door whirring)
No!
(buttons beeping)
- Give me the helm, sweetie.
You cut that pretty
close, don't you think?
- I barely got this running.
I'll need to finish repairs
when we get to the trading post.
- I got one more
thing I gotta do.

- [Computer] Alert.
Quantum circuit unstable.
- [Kip] Taylor.
What are you doing?
- How'd it go?
- Is this salvageable?
- No.
- Dammit.
- Elnora?
- I swear that woman, she gets
a kick outta screwing with me.
- She owns the only trading post
this side of Wantanian Skytrail.
- So?
- She screws everyone over.
- How's the ship
looking? Can we go?
- The light system is
at quarter capacity,
and the hyperdrive
is in rough shape.
- How rough?
- We'll be able to make
one jump, but that's it.
We'll need at least five
million credits to fix it.
- Dammit.
- What did we get
for the crystal?
- 500,000.
(Taylor scoffs)
- Yeah, she totally screwed you.
- Yeah, yeah, she screwed me...
(siren wailing)
- Dad?
What did you do now?
- I didn't do anything.
There was this coin.
It was like a...
It's, it's-
- Not again.
- She left it out. I
didn't know what it was.
- Dad!
(engine whirring)
Is this a "we should probably
get going" situation,
or a "we should get the
hell outta here" situation?
- You know I don't
like that language
coming out of your mouth.
However, in this situation,
hell is appropriate.
(computer beeps)
Speak of the devil.
- You must be the dumbest
man in all the galaxy.
- (scoffs) I'm not the
one who left an artifact
from the Dandolian
period sitting out.
- Return the coin at once
or suffer the consequences.
- And what would
the consequences be?
- I will tear you limb from limb
and bathe in your
blood and your tears.
- Wow.
- That must really mean
something to you, huh?
- It belonged to my
sister before she died.
It was her most
prized possession.
- I'm sorry, I didn't
know that. My condolences.
How did she die?
- I killed her.
- Okay.

- You shouldn't have
spent everything on-
- Hey, hey, hey.
Taylor, there's a lot of
things I regret in my life,
but that's not one of 'em.
(pensive music)
Remember back in the day,
we'd head out into deep space.
No chart, no plans.
- We never had to
worry about credits.
It was just about having fun.
- You said we can
make one more jump.
- Yeah.
- Let's make it and
see where we end up.
- A good old-fashioned
adventure.
- Exactly.
(Taylor laughs)

having to waste credits
to bring you back again.
- I won't let you down, Mother.
- (scoffs) That'll be a first.
- [Officer] Cleanup in Zone 7.
- [Computer] Prisoner secured.
- [Operator] Zone 7 is secured.
- Fine. Assemble a small team
and retrieve that artifact.
- What about Kip?
- Bring him back

They did a jump to Sector 63A.
Follow me.

(ships whooshing)
- Oh, I'm so glad I found you.
It's been so lonely
all by myself.
Now will you dance with me?
Just you and me.
(cheerful music)
Wow.
(alarm blaring)
(dramatic music)
Oh no.
(engines rumbling)
(dramatic music continues)
- And there she is.
- I don't know how she
thought she could escape us.
- [Computer] Docking

Scanning comms channels.
- Can we link to her comms?
- Negative. She's blocking us.
- All right. Let's
knock on the door.
- Okay.
- Hey, a friendly knock.
She's no used to us dead.
- As you wish.
(computer beeping)
- [Computer] Weapon

you. Mom will, too.
- I hope so.
(Taylor groans)
Why don't you get some rest?
- I'm totally awake. (yawns)
Maybe a nap will be okay.
- Go on. I got this.
(pensive music)
- Love you, Dad.
- I love you, baby.
And I love you.
And I'll get you back.

- Oh, let Manx stay.
- I need someone I can trust.
- [Computer] Autopilot engaged.
- Manx is too dumb to even
think about betraying you.
Come on, just
let me go.
- Fine, but you cannot
harm this woman in any way.
You understand?
- Aw!
You're no fun.
- [Computer] Approaching target.
- And soon I will
have all I desire.
- And what is it

I spent
everything we had,
but I didn't have enough
to complete the process.
I'm sorry.

- Are we docked?
- Space station floating dark.
- Do they need help?
- I offered. No reply.
- So it's abandoned?
- Apparently so.
- You know what that means.
- Back in the game, baby.
- Yeah!
(ship screeching)
Oh! (groans)
The zero gravity stabilization
unit's malfunctioning.
- Can you fix it?
- Not without parts.
- I'm gonna have to manually
rebalance the thermothrusters.
Would you mind doing the
recon yourself, then?
- Of course.
(ship screeching)
(Taylor groans)
I'll check for
parts first in order
to get this old lady
back up and running.
- Hey, she might be old,
but this ain't no lady.
Keep me updated on
what you find, huh?
- Will do.
- Maybe you'll find
something cool.
(dramatic music)
- We're almost there.
(dramatic music continues)
(aliens chattering
in foreign language)
(alien speaking in

- What did he say?
- Something about
wanting to die.
- Well, we can be hospitable.
Let's honor their request.

(Kip groans)
- [Computer] Mag Locks released.
- Hey, Taylor, any
luck over there?
- [Taylor] I found some
of the parts we need.
- Can you tell what
kind of station it is?
- [Taylor] It appears to be a
research station of some sort.
- Galactic or privately owned?
- [Taylor] Definitely private.
There is some contraband.
- Anything interesting?
- [Taylor] A whole
bunch of liquid stuff.
- Ooh. I'll get
a bottle of that.
(ship screeching)
(Kip groans)
Make it two.
(foreboding music)
(gun zaps)
(door whooshes)
- Do you think those
things took her?
- No.
But you gotta admit,
she's pretty crafty.
- She's still on the station.

Hello.
- [Taylor] I'm back on
board. Meet me in the back.
(computer beeping)
- Stay right there.
- Put the gun away.
You're gonna wanna hear
what she has to say.
- First, we need to get outta
here as soon as possible.
We don't have much time.
- I'm the captain of this ship.
I'll decide what
needs to be done.
- Look, I've got 16
million credits on here.
(dramatic music)
- Dad.
- You're lucky. The captain
just decided it's time to go.
- Okay.
(ship clanks)
(engine whirring)
- [Computer] Sublight
engines online.
(ship whooshing)
(dramatic music continues)
- All right, tell me again,
where did you find her?
- She was hiding
in a space suit.
- And you trust her?
- She seems harmless.
- Taylor, that's what you said
about that three-headed
baby dragon
that grew into the
destroyer of worlds.
- I don't think we have
to worry about that.
- Hmm.
(dramatic music)
- [Computer]
Scanning for targets.
- Were they worthy opponents?
- No. They weren't
much of a challenge.
- Nothing's a challenge
for the mighty Manx.
- I strike fear in the
hearts of those who cross me.
I demand my turn.
I will go on that ship
and kill that woman dead.
- And you were worried about me.
- Sit down!
We can in no way, shape,
or form hurt the woman.
You win by bringing
her back to me alive.
- Then I will deliver her to you
alive
and unharmed.
- Okay, talk.
- My name's Jackie.
It's nice to meet you.
Aren't you gonna
tell me your name?
I know your daughter's name's
Taylor. She's very pretty.
- Kip.
- Oh, that's a nice name.
Captain Kip.
- Just Kip.
- Yes, sir.
I'm a scientist. I specialize
in celestial cartography.
- Celestial cartography?
- Mm-hmm, it's a
branch of cartography
that deals with mapping
stars, galaxies,
other astronomical objects
on the celestial sphere.
- Wait, you told
me you were hiding
from some dangerous people.
- Yes, Dykstra, the leader
of the group after me.
He read some of my theories
regarding some ships
getting lost in the
Triangulum Rift,
including the
legendary Deepstar.
- People have been looking
for the Deepstar for years.
It can't be found.
- That's 'cause they can't
find the distress beacon.
You find the beacon, you
can find the Deepstar.
I know where it is.
It's what brought Dykstra to me.
He said he was part
of a private firm
seeking a salvage claim,
and he wanted me to
plot them the course.
Their goal was to
find the Deepstar
and claim the vast
riches on board.
I started to notice that some
things were off about Dykstra,
and his team.
- What do you mean by off?
- They pretty much kill
everyone they encounter.
And they enjoy it.
I realized that once I found
the Deepstar, I'd be next.
So when we stopped on Dover,
I borrowed a ship and escaped.
- Borrowed?
- Without permission.
I feel bad about it. I do.
The ship was damaged
in the escape,
and dead as a
Carnelian cowerpuss.
- Well, you're lucky you
stumbled upon the station.
- Oh, that wasn't luck. I
worked there 10 years ago.
The lucky part was my
credentials were still valid.
My goal was to get to the
station, borrow another ship,
but the station was empty.
The log said that they
were on a research mission
to the outer rim.
My ship was too damaged
to fix, so I waited,
hoping that someone
would show up.
- If we find the Deepstar,
we could get enough
credits to bring Mom back.
- Why do you trust us?
- You haven't tried to kill me.
- Well, what about these
guys you said are after you?
- Oh.
- Don't worry.
I left something for 'em.
- That's my girl.
(dramatic music)
- Jackie!
It's the mighty Manx!
I am here to return
you to Dykstra.
(whimsical music)
(device beeping)
Where are you hiding?
Oh!
(device beeping)
- I can't believe
you let him go alone.
- Even Manx could
not screw this up.
(explosion booming)
(dramatic music)
- [Computer] Debris collision.
- What the hell happened?
- (sighs) Well, it couldn't
have been a power surge.
The station was dead.
- Dead is what Manx is,
though I will not
share a tear for him.
Jackie, though, we needed her.
- I know.
- Check the ship
and try to find out
what kind of damage we incurred.
- [Computer] Warning.
Structural impacts.
(Dykstra sighs)
Systems alert.
Life systems compromised.
- The Deepstar was so close.
I could almost feel it.
- There still may be hope.
I found something-
- She was the only person who
had any chance of finding it.
- Well if you would
let me finish.
I found a signal for a ship
that recently left the station.
She may have escaped on it.
- Can you find it?
- Already on it.
(suspenseful music)
(ship whooshing)
- [Computer]
Astrocharts calculating.
(whimsical music)
- Don't touch that.
- Ooh!
- Stop touching things!
- Ah.
- Stop!
Please.
- Excuse me.
I fixed the turbo thrusters,
but the hyperspeed
is still shot.
- Good work.
- [Computer] Sublight
incursion. Proximity alert.
- I think we got company.
(ominous music)
- Did you really think you
could run across the galaxy
with my property and
I wouldn't find you?
Tell me that you're
not that stupid.
- I'm not that stupid.
- You're in no position
to be a smartass.
- Am I a smartass
or am I stupid?
You know, you're starting
to sound confused, Elnora.
- I will make you wish
that you were never born!
I will rip out your fleshy parts
and proudly display them
on my desk in a glass jar.
That way, if anyone thinks
of ever crossing me again,
they'll see what lies
ahead in their future.
- This is my old boss.
- Oh. Hi, I'm Jackie.
- Shut up!
- She's rude.
- Uh, guys, I would save this
conversation for another time.
(dramatic music)
- Warning. Proximity Alert.
Multiple sectors.
- Are you thinking
what I'm thinking?
- Probably not.
- What are we thinking?
- Sit down.
(ships whooshing)
(dramatic music continues)
- You will never
get away from me,
ever.
(computer beeps)
- (laughs) We can thank
the asteroid field
for that bit of luck.
(engines whirring)
- What are you waiting for?
- They're entering
an asteroid field.
- So what?
- It's too dangerous.
They'll never survive.
- I wouldn't be too
sure about that.
- I'm not scared. I'll go
in there and make you proud.
- I would expect nothing
less of my flesh and blood.
- For the family, I will-
- All right, just
get on with it!
(engine whirring)
(ship whooshes)
- [Computer] Warning. Warning.
(ship whooshing)
(dramatic music continues)
Collision imminent.
(ship whooshing)
Hostiles approaching.
- Guys, we have company.
(lasers zapping)
(explosion booming)
- I order you to support him.
- Are you serious?
- Help him or don't
bother coming back.
(engines whirring)
(thrusters blasting)
(lasers zapping)
- [Kip] This was a bad idea.
- Too late now.
(lasers zapping)
(ships whooshing)
(dramatic music continues)
(lasers zapping)
He's right on us.
(lasers zapping)
- I can't shake him.
But...
- [Computer] Warning.
Collision alert.
- I can bake them. You ready?
- Yeah.
- What now?
- Go!
(impact thuds)
(Jackie gasps)
- [Computer] Warning. Warning.
Collision imminent.
(engine whirring)
(lasers zapping)
(dramatic music continues)
- Not again.
(explosion booming)
(engines whirring)
- Way to go, Ezekiel!
- Time to get out of here.
(ships whooshing)
- Oh, you did.
(Kip laughs)
- Y'all are nuts!
- Status report.
- The ship has been destroyed.
- Are you sure?
- Yes. There's been
a massive explosion.
- Ezekiel should be
in communication range
on the other side of the
asteroid field momentarily.
(ship whooshing)
(dramatic music)
- You're alive?
- And well.
The other ship, I'm
afraid not so much.
- My son, Ezekiel, was
piloting that ship.
- I didn't know that.
From one parent to another,
I'm truly sorry, Elnora.
- Sorry doesn't
replace the credits
I'm going to have to spend
to bring him back again.
- The credits, that's what
you're upset about? The credits?
- Mark my words.
You will pay!
(engines droning)
(computer beeping)
- [Computer] Rebooting.
- How much damage
have we sustained?
- She'll fly, but just barely.
- Well, that's all we need.
Nina is tracking a ship.
- You think she escaped?
- I hope so.
Otherwise all this
is for nothing.
(dramatic music)
- You sure it's this one?
- If the coordinates were
input correctly, then yes.
- I know why no one's
found the beacon.
- Why?
- This is planet Zeno.
It's also known
as a death planet,
rumored to be
inhabited by giants.
They'd see us coming
from miles away.
- [Jackie] Okay.
- What about the pod?
It's small. It might be able
to slip through undetected.
- It's a delivery
system, Taylor.
It's designed to
be flown remotely.
- But there are controls.
I've used it before.
I can fly it.
- No, no, we're not
doing this, okay?
All right. I'll do it.
- No! The controls require
minute adjustments.
You're too heavy handed.
- I'll go.
- It's our best chance
of getting Mom back.
- We're not even
sure it's down there.
- May I?
- Go ahead.
- Okay.
We're close enough
now that I think
that we can hear
the distress beacon.
(beacon chiming)
You hear that?
It's there!
(bright, hopeful music)
- Dad.
We have to do it.
- I can't go through
it again, Taylor.
- I won't let that happen.
I promise.
- Take a rifle.
- Okay.
(dramatic music)
(Kip sighs)
(keypad beeping)
(door whooshes)
(dramatic music continues)
(pod whirring)
- [Computer] Engines to speed.
Trajectory calculating.
(dramatic music continues)
(engine whirring)
(pod clanks)
- I shouldn't have let her go.
- Do you really think
you could've stopped her?
- No.
- I just can't stand not knowing
what's going on down there.
- She'll be fine.
I can tell, she's special.
(dramatic music)
(footsteps approaching)
(dramatic music continues)
- Whoa!
(creature growls)
You are a big guy.
(creature growling)
Okay, move along, big guy.
(gun zapping)

Okay, I get it now.

- She's pretty.
I always wanted to
be part of a family.
Where is she?
- She's...
The beacon's moving.
(suspenseful music)
- Ha! That means she has it.
She has it!

- What's going on?
- [Computer] Tractor
alert. Tractor alert.
- Oh no!
(dramatic music continues)
- She should be back now.
- The beacon stopped moving.
(computer beeping)
- Who am I speaking to?
- Captain Kip
Corman. Who are you?
- My name is Dykstra. I'm
sure you've heard about me.
- I have.
- Then you know the
position you're in.
I have your woman.
- What I do know is that if
you hurt her, I will kill you.
- I'm not gonna hurt her,
but my friend here,
that's a different story.
All I have to do
is snap my finger
and things can get very messy.
I'll make you a trade.
I will dock your ship,
I give you your woman,
you give me mine,
and that's the only
offer on the table.
I know I can count on you
to make the right decision.
(computer beeps)
- I knew I shouldn't
have let it go.
- It's okay.
I'll go.
- If he's who you say he is,
he'll kill us all regardless.
- So what do we do?
- Kill him first.
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music continues)
(docking mechanism clanks)
(alarm blaring)
Eyes open, Jackie.
(ominous music)
Jackie?
(suspenseful music)
(gun zaps)
(both grunting)
(gun zaps)
- That's enough!
Nina, come and join the party.
- Gladly.
- I'm sorry.
- What did you do to her?
- I gave her a sedative.
- Do whatever you want
to me. Just let her go.
- I was gonna.
I'm not the monster
I'm made out to be.
But you know, I changed my mind.
You can keep Jackie.
I don't need her.
I have what I need.
- Why did you offer a trade?
Because you have something
really important that I want.
(foreboding music)
- Don't, don't touch her.
- I don't need her.
I need your ship.
See, this one has seen
better days
and it looks like you made
it worse, and for that,
I'm gonna keep this little
pretty thing as payment.
- I'll kill you. I swear to God.
(gun whirs)
- Famous last words.
(suspenseful music)
Goodbye, Captain.
(ship thudding)
- [Computer] Hull
integrity collapsed.
- What should we do with her?
- Leave her. They
can die together.
(blow thuds)
(ears ringing)
A captain is supposed to
go down with his ship.
Lucky for me, this
is your ship now.
(thudding)
(explosion booming)
(alarm blaring)
(Taylor moaning)
- Taylor!
(mom coughing)
Mom
Taylor!
Taylor!
(alarm blaring continues)
- Try not to move too much.
Don't worry. Effects of the
medication will soon subside.
(Taylor sighs)
- Can I get a swig of that?
(lips smacking)
You the enforcer of your team?
- I'm not part of any team.
- But you're the
tough guy, right?
- Yeah.
You could say that.
- Where are you from?
- Jeriba.
- Moon of criminal scum.
- You've been there?
- No.
But I've heard stories.
- Yeah.
The stories are pretty
bad, but it's way worse.
Definitely not a
place for women.
Maybe Nina.
She'd probably do all right.
(mysterious music)
My mom tried,
but...
- What happened?
- She got sick.
She used to scream
all night long.
The screams still
echo in my head.
And then she died.
- What are you doing
with these criminals?
- I am scum,
just like them.
- No.
You seem different.
(mysterious music continues)
(electricity zapping)
- Captain, can you hear me?
(Kip grunts)
Hey.
- How long have I been out?
- An hour or so.
- We got to get the ship up
and running and get after them.
Whoa!
We, uh,
we must have tools
and spare parts
somewhere around here, right?
- Yes. I gathered
everything I could find.
- All right, let's get to it.
(ship whooshing)
(mysterious music)
(Taylor laughing)
- This stuff is strong.
- Lightweight.
- You better not try anything.
- I'd like to try
a lot of things.
- Well, what are
you waiting for?
(mysterious music continues)
(mysterious music continues)
(mysterious music continues)
(gun whirring)
(mysterious music)
(Wade sniggers)
Tease.
- I will shoot you.
- Yeah, you don't
have the balls.
(gun clicks)
- Oh, I...
I think you need
this for it to work.
It's a shame.
I was hoping to get a
little bit of action first.
- Let's go.
- I'm over it, honey.
Maybe later.
- Captain, can I get
the slazon, please?
- Got it. Here.
- Thank you.
(slazon whirring)
Whoa, I'm feeling lightheaded.
- We're probably
running low on oxygen.
- How much time do we have?
- A ship this size,
well, three hours.
- Why do I feel a but coming?
- Well, the last hour,
the body will be
fighting to stay alive.
Physical activity will be
pretty much nonexistent.
- You coulda just
said two hours.
(ship whooshing)
- Your gun wasn't the
only thing I found.
Tell me, does it really bring
people back from the dead?
- A body dies.
Their soul and being can be
kept alive through extraction.
The body, created through
robotics and donor tissue,
is an exact replica.
- A cyborg-human hybrid's
hardly a human being.
- A body isn't what
defines a person.
It's their soul, their
essence that matters.
- Tell you what, If I ever
run into one of those freaks,
I'll kill it on principle alone.
- How would you even know?
- Oh, I'd know.
(Taylor gasps)
- Be careful with that.
- Who is it?
- My mom.
- Well, don't worry.
I'll take good care of her.
(electricity zaps)
- Ow!
Dammit!
God!
(tool clatters)
(tool whirring)
- You never did finish
telling me about your wife.
Please?
I'd really like to know.
- We were rich and
we loved adventures.
We went places we
never should've went.
And I took chances I
shouldn't have taken.
We crashed.
We lost an awful lot.
But I could buy it back.
So I thought.
I didn't realize how
expensive essence was.
I spent everything we had.
Now we do these
salvage missions,
hoping to get enough credits to
finish the process
of bringing her back.
- You will.
If everything they say
about the Deepstar is true,
you will have so many credits,
you'll have nothing to
worry about ever again.
You'll be set for life.
(brooding music)
- All I want is my family back.
- Then let's finish the
repairs and go get them.
(dramatic music)
(computer beeping)
- (chuckles) I told you I
would find the Deepstar.
- And I never doubted you.
- That's why you are the only
one I will share it with.
- What about Wade?
- Wade, he's too unstable.
- Hmm.
And when the time comes,
I want you to take care of him.
- Anything for you.
(dramatic music continues)
- My son
is dead again
because of you.
- He was a better pilot than me.
- Me too.
- So are you both saying
that my son is dead
because you're both
inadequate with your jobs?
- Yeah, uh, no. I mean, no.
(gun zaps)
(dramatic music)
- Ezekiel was the best.
I had no doubt in my mind
that he would
complete the mission.
- Are you saying that he failed?
- No. Yes.
(gun zaps)
(dramatic music continues)
- Prepare my ship.
I'll kill Kip myself.
- Well, only one
thing left to do.
- Well, stick it in.
- No, it's not that simple.
It could go in two places.
You put it one place
and it fixes the ship
and it brings the
main power online.
You put it in the other, it
manually starts the hyperdrive,
but if you start the hyperdrive
without being fully powered up,
the ship will be crushed
like an empty can.
- Well, which one does it go in?
- I don't know. Taylor
usually does this stuff.
- Come on.
We're running outta time.
Now we're gonna run into that
hour-long death struggle thing
and I would really like
to avoid that, please.
- All right.
Let's flip a coin.
- That is a Dandolian
Reclam. Where did you get it?
- I borrowed it.
Tails.
Left.
(system whirring)
- Hey!
We did it!
We did it! It's working!
(system zapping)
(ship clanking)
Oh!
(electricity zapping)
(Kip coughs)
(electricity zapping)
- How did you know
what would do that?
- The main metal in
the coin's absomium.
It disrupts magnetic fields.
It's why they
stopped making 'em.
Two outta three?
- No, I'm just gonna
switch it to the other one.
- [Computer] Rebooting.
(both laughing)
Restart protocols.
- I knew that.
- I hope Wade has been
taking good care of you.
Did you treat her right?
- A gentleman never tells.
- I bet.
I just wanna let you know
that we're getting close
to our destination.
Once we get the treasures
we seek, we'll let you free.
- That's a load of
shit, and you know it.
- I like your honesty.
So tell me, who's
this lovely lady?
- I think that's her mom.
I just so happen to
have her essence.
- There was a point in my
life this is all I wanted.
I had a wife once.
- You never told me that.
- Well, we all have our secrets.
My family was not
born into wealth.
We were not lucky like you.
When I lost her,
I really lost her.
You see, rich people don't
really know what life is.
You desire something, it's
right at your fingertips,
and you can fix any
mistake you make.
- That's not true.
- Oh, really?
This says different.
I assume the captain
was your dad.
And "was" is a key word here,
because he died an
excruciating death.
- I wouldn't be so sure of that.
- (scoffs) Unfortunately the
Sadar doesn't have a pod,
and the pod that we captured
you in is in this ship.
(dramatic music)
Maybe I'll bring your mom back,
and I'll make her my new wife.
(dramatic music continues)
Or maybe I'll take you.
- I will die before I let
a creep like you touch me.
- Hey!
You will show him the
respect that he deserves.
He's one of the best
men in the galaxy.
Rescued me from Slaver's Bay.
I owe him everything.
- So you traded one
slave life for another?
- (scoffs) I am no one's slave.
- Sure you are. You're just
too stupid to realize it.
- Oh, you think
you're tough, huh?
I will slap that grin
right off of your face.
- Oh, I'm sorry.
I don't fight girls.
(Dykstra grunts)
- I think I'm in love.
- Aw!
Does someone have
a little crush?
- Shut up!
(slap thwacks)
- You know,
I take back the creep thing.
You are pretty sexy.
Maybe I'll be your new slave.
(dramatic music)
(both grunting)
(punches thudding)
- That's enough, Nina.
- No, it's not!
(Nina grunts)
- [Wade] Jesus!
(punches thudding)
- You're all talk.
Maybe I'll keep you alive
and make you my slave.
- Now you're dreaming.
- Goodnight, sweetheart.
(Nina grunts)
(dramatic music continues)

- Everything look good?
- Good enough.
- How are we gonna find them?
- They're on my
ship. It's my home.
I have a tracking device on it.
- Okay.
- And we also have
something they don't have.
- What?
- Working hyperdrive.
(Jackie chuckles)
(engines whirring)
(hyperdrive booms)
- Want me to track the pod?
- No, we have the beacon.
Check if we can fly.
- All systems seem to be intact.
- I'm coming for you.
Dykstra?
- Elnora, darling.
How are you doing?
- Where's Kip?
- Ah, right to
business as always.
Well we had a little
situation. I took his ship.
- Is he dead?
- That's hard to say.
I left him on board
my ship, though.
His situation was dire.
- I want him dead or alive.
- Fine. I'll send you the
transponder code of my ship.
You can track him down.
But I only ask you one thing.
- What's that?
- If he's still
among the living,
just let him know his
daughter suffered greatly.
- Is she still alive?
- Not for long.

Nav systems down.
- A Zonarapolis space cloud?
I've heard of 'em.
I never saw one.
- We're not going anywhere.
Unless it decides to
move, we're stuck.
- Screw that. I'm gonna
blast our way out.
(cannons zapping)
- Hmm.
Nope.
- Dammit!
- Kip, you bastard.
I'm coming for you.
- I'd like to see you try.
- How dare you speak
to me that way?
- Aw. What are you
gonna do about it?
You'll see soon enough.
- Get ready for takeoff.
- And now you die.
(cannons zapping)
- [Computer] Nav systems up.
(Jackie laughs)
- You see, you can't
shoot it from inside,
but outside it's
a different story.
(cannons zapping)
- Huh. Jackie, you
are the greatest.
- Yay.
Let's go.
(engines roaring)
- No!

- Whoa!
(metal clanking)
- [Guardian] Warning. The
Deepstar is protected property.
You have 30 seconds
to vacate the area.
- No problem.
(lasers zapping)
(Taylor yells)
So much for 30 seconds!
- [Guardian] You now have 20
seconds to vacate the area.
(gun zapping)
(lasers zapping)
You now have 10 seconds
to vacate the area.
Your non-compliance
is unfortunate.
(lasers zapping)
(Taylor yells)
(Taylor groans)
I am now authorized
to take action.
- Hey, rust bucket!
- [Guardian] Warning. The
Deepstar is protected property.
(explosion booming)
(Taylor groans)
(tense, brooding music)
- Can I sit?
(tense, brooding music)
Why didn't you kill me
when you had the chance?
- It's not my style.
- Yeah?
Would you have left Nina
and Dykstra behind, too?
- Yeah.
In pieces.
(Wade chuckles)
- Then why me?
- Because we both
suffered the same loss,
and I think,
deep down,
you're a decent guy.
Deep, (groans) deep down.
- Hey, I wanna offer you a deal.
We find that treasure,
we split it.
(dramatic music)
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
- [Daniel] Greetings,
my friends.
- Are you injured?
- Who are you?
- We mean you no harm.
- We apologize for the guardian.
It is a defense system
for the Deepstar.
Unfortunately, we are
unable to shut it down.
- You were on the Deepstar?
- Yes. We crashed 20 years ago.
- You don't look like
you've been roughing it.
- Let us take you to our camp.
We'll explain everything there.
- Lead the way.
(brooding music)
We have a deal.
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music continues)
(dramatic music continues)
So you've lived
here the whole time?
- Yes.
- But it doesn't look like-
- Don't move!
- I'd listen to
her if I was you.
She'd like nothing more than
to blow your brains out.
- Drop your weapon.
Or don't. I'm good either way.
(brooding music)
- I knew I could count on you.
So,
tell me,
who are your new friends?
- Survivors of the Deepstar.
- Is that so? Anyone
else survive the crash?
- Just us.
Good, then you can tell
me where the treasure is,
because I looked
all over this dump.
I haven't seen anything.
- We moved the treasure.
- Where to?
- In a cave.
- [Dykstra] Where is the cave?
- It's a mile west of here.
- That's about where
we landed the ship.
- Good.
- Let's go for a little walk.
(dramatic music)
- Jackie, I want you
to stay with the ship.
Keep the engines warm.
- I wanna help you.
- This is my fight,
and I need you to keep the
ship ready to blast off.
- Dykstra's not the type
of guy just to let you go.
He will come after you.
- I won't give him
that opportunity.
(dramatic music continues)
- We're the first people you've
seen since you've crashed?
- That is correct.
- Why are you so calm?
- What do you mean?
- Well, if I hadn't seen another
human in a very long time,
I'd be overflowing
with excitement.
I would assume I
was being rescued.
- What do we need
to be rescued from?
- [Taylor] Well, for starters,
the three people forcing
us by gunpoint to a cave.
- There's nothing
to worry about.
- Everything will be
beautiful. You will see.
(dramatic music)
(thunder cracking)
(computer beeping)
(engines whirring)
(thrusters blasting)
(feet shuffling)
(stones clattering)
- Why did you stop?
- We have arrived.
- Where is the treasure?
- Right here.
- I don't see anything.
Why don't you go and check?
- You go and check.
- No, you go and check.
- (scoffs) Fine.
You're such a baby.
There's nothing there.
Let me see your flashlight.
(gasps)
- Behold.
- (screams) Help! Help me!
- Bask in its beauty.
(Nina screaming)
- [Nina] Help! Help me!
- Screw this. (screams)
(Nina screaming)
(flesh squelching)
- Oh god!
- I am the true treasure
of the universe.
- What I eat I can become.
- You should not be afraid.
The pain is fleeting.
It is truly
wonderful.
Come to us.
Come to us.
Come to us!
- [Taylor] Run!
- Jackie, no matter how
this turns out, thanks.
- I'm just sorry I
got you in this mess.
- Don't apologize.
We made a good team.
Taylor and I haven't let anybody
in our lives in a long time.
I guess you're kind of family.
- (chuckles) How touching.
- Where's my daughter?
- Well, I'm afraid
she didn't make it.
- No!
(gun blasts)
- Kip!
You monster!
- Hey!
Get us out of here now.
- Let go of me.
- Do it or I kill him.
- Do it.
- [Dykstra] Go!
(Taylor gasping)
(Taylor screams)
- You think you
can run from a god?
I was asleep, but now I'm awake,
and I'm hungry.
If it's any solace,
you'll live forever.
- Is this where I'm
supposed to realize
immortality is within my reach?
Succumb to its embrace?
- Yeah. I'm with her.
You gotta be out
your fricking mind
if you have me go back there.
- It's not about
making you go back.
It's about giving me
time to come forward.
(ominous music)
(creature growling)
- (screams) Oh god!
(pensive music)
- I spent the last year
searching for the Deepstar.
A bounty so big that the
entire galaxy could be yours.
It was all a lie.
There was no treasure.
I lost everything.
- What do you know about loss?
My daughter was all I had left.
- You're so melodramatic.
At least you'll see her soon.
(dramatic music)
(creature growling)
(creature growling)
(both groaning)
(creature squeals)
(creature growling)
(both laughing)
- It can't get out.
- Yeah, that's kinda too bad.
I was kinda hoping
to kick its ass.
- You wouldn't
have been able to.
Let's get outta here.
- You, uh, forgot something.
You dropped this.
- What?
No!
Why?
- You didn't let
me finish my story.
I couldn't stand my
mother's screaming anymore,
so I,
I strangled her.
I was just a kid,
but it was my first kill.
I learned it's what I do best.
I killed my mom.
Now I killed yours.
Come on!
(Taylor screams)

(kick thuds)

(punches thudding)
(kick thuds)
(punches thwacking)
(creature growls)
(dramatic music)
(ship whooshing)
- You.
- How did you escape?
- Nothing can quench my
thirst for vengeance.
Where's Kip?
- He's busy right now.
I had hoped to look into
his eyes as the light left.
Pity. I guess she'll have to do.
(cannons zapping)
- [Computer] Brace for impact.
- Ow!
(gun whirs)
- That must be Elnora
joining the party.
- Figures you and Elnora
would know each other.
- I gave her the
code to my ship,
knowing she will find your body,
owe me a favor.
(cannons zapping)
(explosion booming)
Don't worry.
The back of the ship
is impenetrable.
She'd have to attack
from the side.

- It's not gonna
work without this.
(punch thuds)
(creature growls)
- Son of a...
(creature growls)
(Wade yells)
How's that for some action?
(creature growls)
(Wade yelling)
(Wade screams)
(bones crunching)
(flesh squelching)
(cannons zapping)
- (Computer) Shields unstable.
- Jackie.
- Oh, it's about time.
(explosion booming)
- Shields at 29%.
- Elnora?
- Yeah.
I can't shake her.
- [Computer] Shields at 11%.
- Kip.
So good to see you.
- Elnora, can we just stop this?
- You stole something from me.
I won't stop,
ever.
- Okay.
We'll stop.
Full stop.
- Aye aye, captain.
(engines powering down)
(Elnora screaming)
(explosion booming)
(dramatic music)
- [Computer] Shields at 0%.
- I'm probably gonna feel
really weird about this later,
but that felt pretty good.
(Kip chuckles)
(triumphant music)
(dramatic music)
(mom whimpering)
- Mom?
- Taylor!
- Mom?
- Ah, Taylor!
(melancholy music)
- I'm sorry, Mom.
(triumphant music)
(ship booms)
- (laughs) Dad!
- Kip, I'm so sorry about-
- Taylor!
- What?
- Taylor!
(Kip laughs)
- Whoa!
(Taylor laughs)
Will you look at that. Hey!
(triumphant music continues)
- Dad.
- Taylor.
I thought I lost you.
- I told you, I would never
let that happen again.
- What happened?
Are you all right?
- Mom.
- Yes, honey.
(Taylor gasps)
(somber music)
- Lacey!
- No, that's not her.
- How is this possible?
(somber music continues)
- I failed.
- Oh, honey, you didn't fail.
You fought hard, and you won,
and you didn't give up.
There isn't much time.
The monster has never
consumed pure essence before.
I can feel it fighting.
It can't control me, so it
will destroy what's left.
- Can you forgive me Lacey?
- There's nothing to forgive.
The most important
thing you've ever done
lives and breathes.
You made the right decision
to bring Taylor back.
It wasn't her time yet.
- I miss you so much.
- Someday we'll
be together again.
I've been watching over
you from a beautiful place,
a place of love, and
that's all I feel for you.
There's no sadness. No regret.
I'll return there
and wait for you.
- I love you.
- I love you, Mom.
- I love you both.
(essence whirring)
(Lacey whooshes)
(bright music)
- What happened?
- Something.
Taylor, you remember
when we used to just jump
in the ship and head
out into deep space?
- No maps, no plans.
- Go wherever we want.
- Back in the game, baby.
(both laughing)
- Is there room for one more?
Yes. Come on.
(bright music continues)
Well, at least we got the parts
we needed from their ship.
- [Kip] It's gonna be great
having a working
hyperdrive again.
- [Jackie] Ooh, can I drive?
- [Kip] Don't touch that.
- [Computer] Hyperjump
in three, two, one.
Jackie laughs (hyperdrive booms)
