1
00:00:43,953 --> 00:00:47,248
Sarge, Command says air support
is holding until they can assess status.
2
00:00:47,415 --> 00:00:50,418
Status? We need air support.
Tell them to get in here.
3
00:00:50,585 --> 00:00:52,253
That skiff is shredding us.
4
00:00:52,420 --> 00:00:56,382
They won't move without
a lieutenant's authorization code, sir.
5
00:00:57,592 --> 00:00:59,927
Here's your code.
You're Lieutenant Baker.
6
00:01:00,094 --> 00:01:03,556
Congratulations on your promotion.
Now, get me some air support!
7
00:01:03,723 --> 00:01:05,975
Pull back far enough
to wedge them in here.
8
00:01:06,142 --> 00:01:09,687
- Get to high ground, pick them off.
- Not with that skiff in the air.
9
00:01:09,896 --> 00:01:12,440
That's our problem.
Thanks for volunteering. Bendis...
10
00:01:12,607 --> 00:01:15,485
...give us some cover fire.
We're going duck hunting.
11
00:01:20,948 --> 00:01:22,992
You just focus!
12
00:01:23,409 --> 00:01:26,579
The Alliance said they were gonna waltz
through Serenity Valley.
13
00:01:26,746 --> 00:01:28,706
And we choked them
with those words.
14
00:01:28,873 --> 00:01:32,668
We've done the impossible,
and that makes us mighty.
15
00:01:32,835 --> 00:01:37,173
Just a little longer, our angels will sow
rain and fire on those arrogant cons...
16
00:01:37,340 --> 00:01:40,259
...so you hold. You hold!
17
00:01:40,468 --> 00:01:42,345
Go!
18
00:01:43,971 --> 00:01:48,101
- Really think we can bring her down, sir?
- You even need to ask?
19
00:01:52,522 --> 00:01:55,149
- Ready?
- Always.
20
00:01:58,694 --> 00:02:00,321
Bendis.
21
00:02:00,863 --> 00:02:02,532
Bendis!
22
00:03:05,178 --> 00:03:06,554
Yeah!
23
00:03:12,435 --> 00:03:14,145
Zoe!
24
00:03:28,910 --> 00:03:30,870
Nice cover fire.
25
00:03:31,037 --> 00:03:34,665
Did you see that?
Green, what's our status on-?
26
00:03:37,418 --> 00:03:39,087
Zoe.
27
00:03:43,841 --> 00:03:46,761
Hey, listen to me.
28
00:03:46,928 --> 00:03:50,098
Bendis, look at me. Listen.
29
00:03:50,264 --> 00:03:51,933
We're holding, no matter what.
30
00:03:52,100 --> 00:03:54,519
- We're gonna die.
- We're not gonna die.
31
00:03:54,685 --> 00:03:56,687
We can't die, Bendis. You know why?
32
00:03:56,854 --> 00:04:00,233
Because we are so very pretty.
33
00:04:00,817 --> 00:04:04,237
We are just too pretty
for God to let us die.
34
00:04:04,487 --> 00:04:08,116
Look at that chiseled jaw. Come on.
35
00:04:12,078 --> 00:04:15,039
If you won't listen to me, listen to that.
36
00:04:15,248 --> 00:04:18,209
Those are our angels,
blow the Alliance to the hot place.
37
00:04:18,376 --> 00:04:21,546
- Zoe, tell the 82nd-
- They're not coming.
38
00:04:24,340 --> 00:04:27,802
Command says it's too hot.
They're pulling out.
39
00:04:27,969 --> 00:04:30,012
We're to lay down arms.
40
00:04:33,683 --> 00:04:35,351
But, what's-?
41
00:05:13,473 --> 00:05:14,891
The vault's sealed.
42
00:05:16,934 --> 00:05:18,311
Okay, I'm gonna boil it.
43
00:05:18,478 --> 00:05:20,980
Jayne, give me the sticky.
44
00:06:06,776 --> 00:06:11,948
Okay, we get the goods, we're off this
wreck and back on the ship. No worries.
45
00:06:16,744 --> 00:06:18,705
Everything looks good from here.
46
00:06:19,539 --> 00:06:21,290
Yes.
47
00:06:21,457 --> 00:06:25,878
Yes. This is a fertile
land and we will thrive.
48
00:06:26,045 --> 00:06:31,467
We will rule over all this land
and we will call it...
49
00:06:31,634 --> 00:06:33,720
..."This Land. "
50
00:06:33,886 --> 00:06:37,306
I think we should
call it your grave.
51
00:06:37,473 --> 00:06:41,436
Curse your sudden,
but inevitable betrayal.
52
00:06:41,602 --> 00:06:43,146
Mine is an evil lair.
53
00:06:43,312 --> 00:06:45,189
Now die!
54
00:06:45,398 --> 00:06:47,900
Oh! No, God!
55
00:06:48,067 --> 00:06:49,694
Dear God in heaven.
56
00:06:55,366 --> 00:06:57,118
Oh, motherly son of a-
57
00:07:00,538 --> 00:07:04,083
Full pressure.
The goods must be intact.
58
00:07:07,420 --> 00:07:10,465
Okay. Looking good.
59
00:07:10,631 --> 00:07:14,093
Captain, we got incoming.
Alliance crews are bearing down on us.
60
00:07:15,803 --> 00:07:17,138
Have they spotted us?
61
00:07:17,305 --> 00:07:19,390
- I can't tell if-
- Have they hailed us?
62
00:07:19,557 --> 00:07:21,726
If they want the salvage,
we're humped.
63
00:07:21,893 --> 00:07:23,936
If they find us at all,
we're humped-
64
00:07:24,103 --> 00:07:27,940
Wash, shut it down. Now.
Everything but the air.
65
00:07:28,107 --> 00:07:29,901
Kaylee. Kaylee.
66
00:07:30,068 --> 00:07:32,111
Go to blackout, we're being buzzed.
67
00:07:32,278 --> 00:07:34,614
Going dark.
68
00:07:42,497 --> 00:07:44,290
Okay, now I can't get down.
69
00:07:58,513 --> 00:07:59,931
So, what am I looking at?
70
00:08:00,223 --> 00:08:02,141
A carrier, blew out a few months back.
71
00:08:02,308 --> 00:08:05,603
Lost all hands, but it was only run
by a skeleton crew anyway.
72
00:08:05,770 --> 00:08:07,522
Damn shame.
73
00:08:07,688 --> 00:08:09,607
No point in checking for survivors?
74
00:08:14,779 --> 00:08:18,741
Wash, they slowing down?
- That's a neg.
75
00:08:18,908 --> 00:08:23,287
Doesn't look like they're interested in us.
We should be eating wake in a minute.
76
00:08:41,597 --> 00:08:44,100
Sir, there is a reading on that thing.
77
00:08:44,267 --> 00:08:46,060
Some residual heat.
78
00:08:46,227 --> 00:08:47,311
Do a sweep.
79
00:08:50,356 --> 00:08:53,735
- Captain, we're humped.
- Prep the ship, now.
80
00:08:54,444 --> 00:08:56,154
We move these in, double time.
81
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,239
Kaylee, fire it up.
82
00:08:58,698 --> 00:09:01,743
It's a transport ship, Firefly class.
83
00:09:01,909 --> 00:09:04,495
- They still make those?
- Illegal salvage.
84
00:09:04,704 --> 00:09:06,914
Lowlife vultures picking
flesh off the dead.
85
00:09:07,081 --> 00:09:09,667
Should we deploy gunships
and bring her in?
86
00:09:11,627 --> 00:09:13,046
Do it.
87
00:09:24,724 --> 00:09:26,684
Cry, baby, cry.
88
00:09:26,851 --> 00:09:32,106
Make your mother sigh.
Engaging the crybaby.
89
00:09:33,566 --> 00:09:38,112
Captain, I am picking up a distress signal
13 clicks ahead from a-
90
00:09:38,279 --> 00:09:40,907
Sounds like a personnel carrier.
91
00:09:44,869 --> 00:09:48,831
Definitely a big ship, sir.
And she's without power.
92
00:09:55,797 --> 00:09:58,424
Wash, we're on. Go.
93
00:10:08,059 --> 00:10:10,436
Hang on, travelers.
94
00:10:11,979 --> 00:10:13,898
Let's moon them.
95
00:10:19,195 --> 00:10:21,864
They're rabbiting.
Should we continue deployment?
96
00:10:22,031 --> 00:10:24,575
Our gunships would never
get back to us in time.
97
00:10:24,742 --> 00:10:26,369
Let's go help these people.
98
00:10:26,536 --> 00:10:29,580
But put out a bulletin
on the cortex and flag InterpoI.
99
00:10:29,747 --> 00:10:32,792
A Firefly with possible
stolen goods on board.
100
00:10:32,959 --> 00:10:35,253
Maybe somebody will step on
those roaches.
101
00:10:36,963 --> 00:10:40,133
We look shiny, captain.
They are not, repeat, not coming about.
102
00:10:40,299 --> 00:10:42,510
Close one.
103
00:10:42,677 --> 00:10:44,637
Anyone you walk away from, right?
104
00:10:44,804 --> 00:10:48,516
Long as we got the goods,
I call this a win.
105
00:10:50,518 --> 00:10:52,061
Right.
106
00:10:54,522 --> 00:10:56,190
We win.
107
00:11:53,623 --> 00:11:55,750
Well, there we are.
108
00:11:55,917 --> 00:11:59,087
- They're awfully pretty.
I'd say worth a little risk.
109
00:11:59,253 --> 00:12:01,756
Yeah, that was some pretty risky sit
you did there.
110
00:12:01,923 --> 00:12:05,968
Of course. Because they wouldn't arrest
me if we got boarded. I'm just the pilot.
111
00:12:06,135 --> 00:12:09,305
I could say I was flying the ship
by accident. They're pretty unreas-
112
00:12:10,848 --> 00:12:12,850
Problem, sir?
113
00:12:13,226 --> 00:12:15,019
Couldn't say.
114
00:12:15,186 --> 00:12:18,773
We best be getting rid of these before
we run into another Alliance patroI.
115
00:12:18,940 --> 00:12:21,067
What are they doing
out this far, anyhow?
116
00:12:21,234 --> 00:12:23,152
Shining the light of civilization.
117
00:12:23,319 --> 00:12:25,113
How long until we reach Persephone?
118
00:12:25,279 --> 00:12:27,615
- Three or four hours.
- Can we shave that?
119
00:12:27,782 --> 00:12:31,494
We're down to the wire on fuel cells. We
run hot, we might not even make it.
120
00:12:31,661 --> 00:12:32,912
Play it close as you can.
121
00:12:33,079 --> 00:12:35,081
This cash is burning
a hole in my hull.
122
00:12:35,248 --> 00:12:38,710
- Think that cruiser might've ID'd us?
- Let's hope not.
123
00:12:38,876 --> 00:12:41,295
Contact Badger, tell him the job's done.
124
00:12:41,462 --> 00:12:44,465
Don't go to mentioning
the cruiser, though. Keep it simple.
125
00:12:44,632 --> 00:12:47,885
- Sure there's nothing wrong with the-
- It's fine.
126
00:12:48,052 --> 00:12:49,929
Just want to get paid.
127
00:12:52,932 --> 00:12:56,811
Let's get these crates stowed. I don't
want any tourists stumbling over them.
128
00:12:56,978 --> 00:12:58,604
We're taking on passengers?
129
00:12:58,771 --> 00:13:03,025
Yeah, that's the notion. Could use a
little respectability on the way to Boros.
130
00:13:04,277 --> 00:13:05,778
Not to mention the money.
131
00:13:05,945 --> 00:13:08,031
- Pain in the ass.
- No, it's shiny.
132
00:13:08,197 --> 00:13:10,700
I like to meet new people.
They've got stories.
133
00:13:10,867 --> 00:13:13,453
Captain, can you stop her from
being cheerful, please?
134
00:13:13,619 --> 00:13:17,373
There's no power in the 'verse
that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful.
135
00:13:17,540 --> 00:13:19,751
Sometimes you want to
tape her mouth and...
136
00:13:19,917 --> 00:13:23,129
...dump her in the hole for a month.
137
00:13:23,296 --> 00:13:25,506
I love my captain.
138
00:13:27,467 --> 00:13:28,926
I know something ain't right.
139
00:13:29,093 --> 00:13:32,430
Sweetie, we're crooks. If everything
were right we'd be in jail.
140
00:13:33,097 --> 00:13:37,852
- It's just that the captain's so tense.
- The man needs a break.
141
00:13:38,019 --> 00:13:41,606
In fact, we could all use
a couple of days leave.
142
00:13:41,773 --> 00:13:44,108
We still gotta drop the goods.
143
00:13:44,275 --> 00:13:47,987
And when we do, we'll fly off to Boros,
rich and prosperous.
144
00:13:48,154 --> 00:13:51,991
Well, less poor, but with enough to
find some sweet little getaway.
145
00:13:52,158 --> 00:13:54,744
Oh, wouldn't mind a real bath.
146
00:13:54,911 --> 00:13:57,830
And a meal that included
some form of food.
147
00:13:57,997 --> 00:14:01,709
Just a couple of days lying around.
You with the bathing.
148
00:14:01,876 --> 00:14:07,090
- Me with the watching you bathe.
- If the captain says it's all right.
149
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:13,429
What if we just told Mal we need
a couple of days instead of asking him?
150
00:14:13,596 --> 00:14:17,433
- He's the captain, Wash.
- Right. I'm just the husband.
151
00:14:17,767 --> 00:14:19,477
Look, I'll ask him.
152
00:14:19,644 --> 00:14:22,397
Don't forget to call him "sir. "
He likes that.
153
00:14:22,563 --> 00:14:24,482
Who likes what?
154
00:14:24,690 --> 00:14:26,651
It's nothing, sir.
155
00:14:26,984 --> 00:14:30,071
- Has the ambassador checked in yet?
- No.
156
00:14:30,238 --> 00:14:31,989
She had a pretty full docket.
157
00:14:32,156 --> 00:14:35,535
After you talk to Badger, tell her we may
leave Persephone in a hurry.
158
00:14:35,702 --> 00:14:37,745
Inara has our timetable. She'll check in.
159
00:14:37,954 --> 00:14:40,081
I could tell her to cut it short.
160
00:14:40,289 --> 00:14:44,043
No, no. Don't want to get in
her way if we don't have to.
161
00:14:44,961 --> 00:14:48,047
Somebody on this boat has
to make an honest living.
162
00:14:51,759 --> 00:14:53,428
Oh, my God.
163
00:15:06,941 --> 00:15:09,444
Zenon isn't that different
from this planet.
164
00:15:09,610 --> 00:15:13,406
More crowded, obviously,
and I guess more complicated.
165
00:15:13,573 --> 00:15:16,117
The Great City itself is...
166
00:15:17,744 --> 00:15:19,746
Pictures can't capture it.
167
00:15:19,912 --> 00:15:22,165
It's like an ocean of light.
168
00:15:22,749 --> 00:15:26,669
Is that where you studied
to be a companion?
169
00:15:26,836 --> 00:15:28,421
I was born there.
170
00:15:28,629 --> 00:15:30,882
I can't imagine ever leaving.
171
00:15:31,299 --> 00:15:34,343
Well, I wanted to see the universe.
172
00:15:35,803 --> 00:15:38,389
Do you really have to leave?
173
00:15:40,725 --> 00:15:41,934
I mean...
174
00:15:43,352 --> 00:15:49,692
...my father is very influential. We could,
I could arrange for you to be...
175
00:15:50,693 --> 00:15:52,862
The experience has been more than...
176
00:15:53,071 --> 00:15:54,113
It was very good.
177
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,824
- Thank you.
- The time went too quickly.
178
00:15:56,991 --> 00:16:01,412
Your clock's probably rigged to speed
up and cheat us out of our fun.
179
00:16:29,565 --> 00:16:32,151
Serenity, this is Shuttle 1.
What's your ETA?
180
00:16:32,318 --> 00:16:36,739
Inara, hey. We're touching down
at the Eavesdown docks...
181
00:16:36,948 --> 00:16:40,034
- ... in about ten minutes.
- I'll join you there. Thanks.
182
00:16:40,201 --> 00:16:42,370
Looking forward to it.
We missed you out here.
183
00:16:42,537 --> 00:16:45,039
Yeah, me too.
184
00:17:32,962 --> 00:17:34,756
This shouldn't take too long.
185
00:17:34,922 --> 00:17:37,300
Best time for departure,
in about three hours.
186
00:17:37,467 --> 00:17:40,053
Gravity supplies we're low on,
fuel her up.
187
00:17:40,219 --> 00:17:43,306
I'd love to find a brand-new
compression core for the steamer.
188
00:17:43,473 --> 00:17:45,266
I'd like to be king of Ondinia.
189
00:17:45,433 --> 00:17:48,519
Just get us some passengers.
Them as can pay. All right?
190
00:17:48,686 --> 00:17:52,815
- Compression core busts, we're drifting.
- Let's not bust then.
191
00:17:55,568 --> 00:17:57,070
Zoe.
192
00:18:00,156 --> 00:18:01,866
We will.
193
00:18:27,558 --> 00:18:29,727
You want a trip, Grandpa?
194
00:18:29,894 --> 00:18:32,313
You need safe passage?
We're cheap, we're clean.
195
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,233
Brutus, best ship in the 'verse.
196
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,193
What's your des, Grandpa?
197
00:18:37,360 --> 00:18:40,321
- We're hitting the outer rings.
- I never married.
198
00:18:41,155 --> 00:18:42,740
What?
199
00:18:43,574 --> 00:18:45,702
I'm not a grandpa.
200
00:19:06,931 --> 00:19:09,267
Let me see your teeth.
201
00:19:11,477 --> 00:19:12,603
Yes.
202
00:19:15,064 --> 00:19:17,859
- You're late.
- You're lying.
203
00:19:19,277 --> 00:19:20,903
What did you just say to me?
204
00:19:21,988 --> 00:19:24,574
You're aware we landed two
hours before we planned...
205
00:19:24,741 --> 00:19:27,493
...with all the goods intact, ready to roll.
206
00:19:27,660 --> 00:19:29,954
It's your decision to get touchy,
say we're late.
207
00:19:30,121 --> 00:19:32,415
Means you're looking
to put us on the defensive...
208
00:19:32,582 --> 00:19:34,333
...which means something's
gone wrong.
209
00:19:34,542 --> 00:19:36,044
Didn't go wrong on our end.
210
00:19:36,210 --> 00:19:39,005
So why don't we start again
with you telling us what's up.
211
00:19:39,172 --> 00:19:43,342
- You're later than I'd like.
- Well, I'm sorry to hear that.
212
00:19:43,509 --> 00:19:45,303
If you'd gotten here sooner...
213
00:19:45,511 --> 00:19:48,514
...you might have beaten the bulletin
that came up saying:
214
00:19:48,681 --> 00:19:51,184
"Rogue vessel. Classification, Firefly.
215
00:19:51,350 --> 00:19:54,979
Was spotted pulling illegal salvage
on a derelict transport. "
216
00:19:55,146 --> 00:19:59,484
- Didn't ID us. Doesn't lead to you.
- No, it doesn't.
217
00:19:59,650 --> 00:20:03,821
But a government stamp on every
molecule of the cargo just maybe might.
218
00:20:05,031 --> 00:20:07,408
Oh, you noticed that.
219
00:20:07,784 --> 00:20:10,703
You were gonna hand over imprinted
goods and let me twist?
220
00:20:10,870 --> 00:20:15,124
- We didn't pick the cargo.
- And I didn't flash my arse at the law.
221
00:20:15,541 --> 00:20:16,667
There's no deal.
222
00:20:17,418 --> 00:20:18,711
That ain't fair.
223
00:20:19,670 --> 00:20:24,300
Crime and politics, little girl,
the situation is always fluid.
224
00:20:25,093 --> 00:20:29,472
The only thing fluid I see here is the
puddle of piss refusing to pay our wage.
225
00:20:42,902 --> 00:20:44,779
It doesn't have to go this way.
226
00:20:45,071 --> 00:20:47,240
You know you can still unload
those goods...
227
00:20:47,407 --> 00:20:49,742
...so I think something else is
at work here.
228
00:20:49,909 --> 00:20:53,746
What were you in the war?
That big war you failed to win.
229
00:20:53,913 --> 00:20:56,374
You were a sergeant, yeah?
230
00:20:56,541 --> 00:21:00,378
Sergeant Malcolm Reynolds.
Balls and bayonets brigade.
231
00:21:00,545 --> 00:21:03,673
Big tough veteran.
232
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:07,593
Now you got yourself a ship
and you're a captain.
233
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:12,640
Only I think you're still a sergeant, see?
Still a soldier.
234
00:21:12,932 --> 00:21:15,727
Man of honor in a den of thieves.
235
00:21:16,436 --> 00:21:18,730
Well, this is my gorram den...
236
00:21:19,981 --> 00:21:22,859
...and I don't like the way
you look down on me.
237
00:21:23,026 --> 00:21:25,653
I'm above you. Better than.
238
00:21:26,029 --> 00:21:27,822
Businessman, see?
239
00:21:27,989 --> 00:21:31,325
Roots in the community.
You're just a scavenger.
240
00:21:34,537 --> 00:21:39,250
Well, maybe I'm not a fancy
gentleman like you with your...
241
00:21:39,417 --> 00:21:41,127
...very fine hat...
242
00:21:41,794 --> 00:21:44,005
...but I do business.
243
00:21:44,630 --> 00:21:48,634
- We're here for business.
- Try one of the border planets.
244
00:21:48,801 --> 00:21:50,678
They're a lot more desperate there.
245
00:21:50,845 --> 00:21:53,473
Of course, they might kill you.
246
00:21:53,639 --> 00:21:58,019
But you stay here, and I just know
the Alliance will track you down.
247
00:21:58,478 --> 00:22:00,938
I have that feeling.
248
00:22:02,523 --> 00:22:04,317
Wheel never stops turning, Badger.
249
00:22:04,484 --> 00:22:06,944
That only matters to the people
on the rim.
250
00:22:20,750 --> 00:22:23,127
You're gonna come with us.
251
00:22:23,294 --> 00:22:24,379
Excuse me?
252
00:22:25,046 --> 00:22:29,342
You like ships. You don't seem
to be looking at the destinations.
253
00:22:29,509 --> 00:22:33,805
What you care about is the ships
and mine's the nicest.
254
00:22:34,764 --> 00:22:38,851
- She don't look like much.
- Oh, she'll fooI you.
255
00:22:40,061 --> 00:22:44,357
- You ever sail in a Firefly?
- Long before you were crawling.
256
00:22:45,274 --> 00:22:49,612
Not an Aught 3, though. It didn't
have the extenders. Tended to shake.
257
00:22:51,447 --> 00:22:55,785
So how come you don't care
where you're going?
258
00:22:55,952 --> 00:22:58,871
Because how you get
there's the worthier part.
259
00:22:59,956 --> 00:23:02,125
Are you a missionary?
260
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,169
I guess.
261
00:23:05,336 --> 00:23:07,880
I'm a shepherd from
the South Down Abbey. Book.
262
00:23:08,506 --> 00:23:10,883
I'm called Book.
263
00:23:11,217 --> 00:23:14,512
Been out of the world for a spell.
Like to walk it a while.
264
00:23:14,679 --> 00:23:17,348
Maybe bring the word to
them that need it told.
265
00:23:17,515 --> 00:23:20,309
Well, I'm Kaylee.
And this here's Serenity.
266
00:23:20,476 --> 00:23:24,772
And she's the smoothest ride from here
to Boros for anyone who can pay.
267
00:23:24,981 --> 00:23:27,191
Can you pay, or...?
268
00:23:27,358 --> 00:23:30,528
Well, I got a little cash and...
269
00:23:34,949 --> 00:23:36,325
Ooh.
270
00:23:36,701 --> 00:23:38,703
Grandpa.
271
00:23:39,787 --> 00:23:41,873
I never married.
272
00:23:43,541 --> 00:23:46,919
I don't understand why we didn't leave
him in a pooI of his own blood.
273
00:23:47,086 --> 00:23:49,547
We'd be dead.
Can't get paid if you're dead.
274
00:23:49,714 --> 00:23:53,551
Can't get paid if you crawl away like
a little pug. I got a share of this job.
275
00:23:53,718 --> 00:23:57,722
Ten percent of nothing is- Let me do the
math. Nothing and then nothing...
276
00:23:57,889 --> 00:24:00,975
- So we find a buyer on Boros.
- Boros is too big.
277
00:24:01,142 --> 00:24:03,186
The Alliance could
just be waiting for us.
278
00:24:03,352 --> 00:24:05,646
You think Badger would sell
us to the Feds?
279
00:24:05,813 --> 00:24:07,690
If he hasn't already.
280
00:24:08,941 --> 00:24:11,611
If Alliance catches us,
we'll lose the ship.
281
00:24:11,778 --> 00:24:14,030
- That's never gonna happen.
- Sir...
282
00:24:14,197 --> 00:24:16,741
- ... we could just dump the cargo.
- No way.
283
00:24:16,908 --> 00:24:20,953
We ain't had a job in weeks. I didn't sign
on to take in the sights. We need coin-
284
00:24:21,120 --> 00:24:23,790
Your mouth is talking.
You might wanna look to that.
285
00:24:23,956 --> 00:24:26,501
- I'm ready to stop when-
- You're right, though.
286
00:24:26,667 --> 00:24:29,003
Last two jobs we had were weak tea.
287
00:24:29,170 --> 00:24:32,507
We got nothing saved. Taking on
passengers won't help near enough.
288
00:24:33,341 --> 00:24:37,011
We don't get paid for this cargo,
we don't have enough money for fuel...
289
00:24:37,178 --> 00:24:40,765
...let alone keep and repair.
We should be dead in the water.
290
00:24:41,849 --> 00:24:46,062
- So we do the border planets?
- I'm thinking Whitefall, talk to Patience.
291
00:24:46,229 --> 00:24:48,606
- We don't want to deal with Patience.
- Why not?
292
00:24:48,773 --> 00:24:51,651
- She shot you.
- Well, yeah, she did a bit. Still-
293
00:24:51,818 --> 00:24:54,821
- So we find somebody else. Horowitz.
- He can't afford it.
294
00:24:54,987 --> 00:24:56,823
- Holden Boys.
- They wouldn't touch it.
295
00:24:56,989 --> 00:25:00,660
I'll go through the list. Capshaws
are brain-blown. Gruvick's dead.
296
00:25:00,827 --> 00:25:04,414
- He's dead?
- Town got hit by Reavers, burned it.
297
00:25:04,580 --> 00:25:06,999
I ain't going near Reaver territory.
Them people-
298
00:25:07,166 --> 00:25:10,169
Whitefall is the safest and the closest.
299
00:25:10,378 --> 00:25:12,463
It's a long time
since Patience shot me...
300
00:25:12,630 --> 00:25:16,175
...and that was due to a legitimate
conflict of interest. I got no grudge.
301
00:25:16,342 --> 00:25:17,969
She owns half that damn moon now.
302
00:25:18,136 --> 00:25:20,346
She could afford what we got
and might need it.
303
00:25:20,513 --> 00:25:24,934
- I still don't think the old lady's the way.
- I'm not saying it won't be tricky.
304
00:25:25,101 --> 00:25:26,811
We got no kind of choice.
305
00:25:28,438 --> 00:25:30,690
- Welcome aboard, Mr...
- Dobson.
306
00:25:30,940 --> 00:25:35,820
Just gotta keep our heads down, do the
job, and pray there ain't no surprises.
307
00:25:44,037 --> 00:25:46,622
Please be careful with that.
308
00:25:46,789 --> 00:25:50,251
Mal, this is Simon.
Simon, this is our captain.
309
00:25:51,419 --> 00:25:52,545
Captain Reynolds.
310
00:25:53,671 --> 00:25:55,506
Welcome aboard.
311
00:25:56,758 --> 00:25:58,718
This all we got?
312
00:26:11,522 --> 00:26:16,778
Now we have a boat full of citizens
right on top of our stolen cargo.
313
00:26:17,737 --> 00:26:19,322
That's a fun mix.
314
00:26:19,489 --> 00:26:23,951
Ain't no way in the 'verse they could
find that compartment, even-
315
00:26:24,118 --> 00:26:26,037
Even if they were looking for it.
316
00:26:26,204 --> 00:26:28,039
Why not?
317
00:26:29,665 --> 00:26:31,459
Because.
318
00:26:32,668 --> 00:26:35,254
Oh, yeah. This is gonna go great.
319
00:26:35,421 --> 00:26:39,092
If anyone gets nosy, you know,
just shoot them.
320
00:26:39,258 --> 00:26:41,803
- Shoot them?
- Politely.
321
00:26:48,810 --> 00:26:50,603
Inara, just in time.
322
00:26:50,770 --> 00:26:52,772
Let me guess, we're in a hurry?
323
00:26:52,939 --> 00:26:56,943
Looks like.
Starboard hatch green for docking.
324
00:26:57,110 --> 00:26:59,362
Locked in five, four...
325
00:27:06,202 --> 00:27:09,205
The ambassador has returned.
326
00:27:13,751 --> 00:27:16,546
You got a full house, captain.
327
00:27:16,713 --> 00:27:19,132
Kaylee, I'm locking it up!
328
00:27:21,718 --> 00:27:23,177
All aboard.
329
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,743
Meals are taken up here
in the dining area.
330
00:27:46,909 --> 00:27:50,288
Kitchen's self-explanatory.
You're welcome to eat what there is.
331
00:27:50,455 --> 00:27:54,459
Pretty standard fare, I guess.
Protein in all the colors of the rainbow.
332
00:27:54,625 --> 00:27:57,837
We do have sit-down meals,
next one being at about 1800.
333
00:27:58,004 --> 00:28:01,215
I think Shepherd Book has offered
to help me prepare something.
334
00:28:01,382 --> 00:28:05,595
- You're a shepherd?
- I thought the outfit gave it away.
335
00:28:06,220 --> 00:28:08,890
- Is it a problem?
- Of course not.
336
00:28:09,057 --> 00:28:13,269
- It's no problem, because it's not.
- No.
337
00:28:14,270 --> 00:28:17,982
As I said, you're welcome
to visit the dining area anytime.
338
00:28:18,149 --> 00:28:22,028
Apart from that, I ask you to stay in the
passenger dorm while we're in the air.
339
00:28:22,195 --> 00:28:25,656
The bridge, engine room, cargo bay,
are off-limits without an escort.
340
00:28:25,823 --> 00:28:28,534
Some of my personal effects
are in the cargo bay.
341
00:28:28,701 --> 00:28:33,247
You all got luggage you need to get into.
We'll be happy to fetch them with you.
342
00:28:33,414 --> 00:28:38,586
Now, I have to tell you one other thing,
and I apologize for the inconvenience.
343
00:28:38,795 --> 00:28:43,257
We've been ordered by the Alliance
to drop medical supplies on Whitefall.
344
00:28:43,466 --> 00:28:46,386
It's the fourth moon on Athens.
It's out of our way...
345
00:28:46,552 --> 00:28:49,305
...but we'll get you on Boros no more
than a day off schedule.
346
00:28:49,514 --> 00:28:51,933
What medical supplies?
347
00:28:52,809 --> 00:28:56,604
- I honestly didn't ask.
- Probably plasma, insulin.
348
00:28:56,771 --> 00:28:59,816
Whatever they ain't got enough of
on the border moons.
349
00:28:59,982 --> 00:29:03,111
- Alliance says "jump. "
- All right.
350
00:29:03,319 --> 00:29:06,614
- You wanna take them to the cargo bay?
- Yes, sir.
351
00:29:06,781 --> 00:29:11,786
Anything else you need,
just ask. We live to serve.
352
00:29:13,413 --> 00:29:16,249
- Did you send word to Patience?
- Ain't heard back yet.
353
00:29:16,416 --> 00:29:20,503
- Didn't she shoot you one time?
- Everybody's making a fuss.
354
00:29:25,258 --> 00:29:27,510
Oops. I'm sorry.
355
00:29:44,569 --> 00:29:45,945
Thank you.
356
00:29:47,071 --> 00:29:48,448
Ooh, ow.
357
00:29:53,786 --> 00:29:57,123
Ah! The ambassador graces us
with her presence.
358
00:29:57,582 --> 00:29:59,000
Hello, Mal.
359
00:29:59,167 --> 00:30:01,502
I see we have some new faces.
360
00:30:01,669 --> 00:30:03,755
- Hey, you.
- Hey, you.
361
00:30:04,297 --> 00:30:07,592
Ambassador, this is Shepherd Book.
362
00:30:07,759 --> 00:30:11,304
I'd have to say this is the first time
we've had a preacher on board.
363
00:30:11,471 --> 00:30:15,641
Well, I wasn't expecting to see a
state official, either. Ambassador.
364
00:30:17,351 --> 00:30:20,438
- I'm missing something funny.
- Not so funny.
365
00:30:20,605 --> 00:30:24,067
- "Ambassador" is Mal's way of saying-
- She's a whore, Shepherd.
366
00:30:24,233 --> 00:30:26,736
- The term is "companion. "
I get those mixed up.
367
00:30:26,903 --> 00:30:29,238
- How's business?
- None of yours.
368
00:30:29,405 --> 00:30:31,199
She is, pretty much, our ambassador.
369
00:30:31,449 --> 00:30:35,161
Plenty of planets wouldn't let you dock
without a decent companion on board.
370
00:30:35,328 --> 00:30:39,665
This isn't a problem for you,
is it, Shepherd?
371
00:30:39,832 --> 00:30:42,835
- Well, I certainly-
- It's all right.
372
00:30:43,002 --> 00:30:45,421
I mostly keep to myself.
373
00:30:45,838 --> 00:30:47,673
When I'm not whoring.
374
00:30:48,841 --> 00:30:51,427
Don't you want to meet the rest
of the bunch?
375
00:30:51,594 --> 00:30:54,680
Why don't you make sure they want
to meet me first.
376
00:30:58,518 --> 00:31:02,563
So how many fell in love with you and
wanted to take you away from all this?
377
00:31:02,730 --> 00:31:06,484
Just the one. I think I'm slipping.
378
00:31:39,100 --> 00:31:41,018
I'm starving.
- This is incredible.
379
00:31:41,227 --> 00:31:42,770
It is great.
- It's not much.
380
00:31:42,979 --> 00:31:44,689
I had a garden at the abbey...
381
00:31:44,856 --> 00:31:48,276
- ... thought I'd bring what I could.
- It's kind of you to share.
382
00:31:48,443 --> 00:31:50,820
It won't last.
They're not the same frozen.
383
00:31:50,987 --> 00:31:53,781
- Pass the tomatoes.
- The important thing is the spices.
384
00:31:53,948 --> 00:31:57,285
A man can live on packaged food
from here until Judgment Day...
385
00:31:57,452 --> 00:31:59,287
...if he's got enough rosemary.
386
00:31:59,495 --> 00:32:02,540
Captain, you mind
if I say grace?
387
00:32:02,707 --> 00:32:05,168
Only if you say it out loud.
388
00:32:14,761 --> 00:32:16,721
So does it happen a lot?
389
00:32:17,847 --> 00:32:21,017
Government commandeering your ship,
telling you where to go?
390
00:32:21,184 --> 00:32:23,686
It's what governments are for.
Get in a man's way.
391
00:32:24,103 --> 00:32:26,105
It's good if the supplies are needed.
392
00:32:26,272 --> 00:32:28,483
We're just happy
to be doing good works.
393
00:32:28,649 --> 00:32:32,945
I hear a lot of the border moons
are in bad shape: plagues and famine.
394
00:32:33,112 --> 00:32:35,448
Some of it is exaggerated
and some of it ain't.
395
00:32:35,615 --> 00:32:38,743
All those moons,
just like the central planets...
396
00:32:38,910 --> 00:32:42,914
...they're as close to Earth as we can
make them. Gravity, atmosphere, but-
397
00:32:43,081 --> 00:32:46,417
Once they're terraformed, they'll dump
settlers there with nothing...
398
00:32:46,584 --> 00:32:49,128
...but blankets, hatchets,
maybe a herd.
399
00:32:49,337 --> 00:32:52,006
Some of them make it.
Some of them...
400
00:32:52,799 --> 00:32:55,176
Then I guess it's good we're helping.
401
00:32:56,761 --> 00:32:58,930
You're a doctor, right?
402
00:32:59,347 --> 00:33:00,723
Oh, uh...
403
00:33:01,474 --> 00:33:05,353
Yes, I was a trauma surgeon
on Osiris and Capital City.
404
00:33:05,895 --> 00:33:07,355
Long way from here.
405
00:33:08,147 --> 00:33:11,192
You seem so young to be a doctor.
406
00:33:11,651 --> 00:33:13,403
Yeah.
407
00:33:13,569 --> 00:33:17,365
- You're young to be a ship's mechanic.
Know-how.
408
00:33:18,032 --> 00:33:21,160
Machine's just got workings
and they talk to me.
409
00:33:21,369 --> 00:33:22,870
That's a rare gift.
410
00:33:23,079 --> 00:33:24,914
Well, not like being a doctor.
411
00:33:25,081 --> 00:33:28,167
Helping fix people, that's important.
412
00:33:28,710 --> 00:33:31,295
Kaylee here just wishes you
was a gynecologist.
413
00:33:34,173 --> 00:33:39,595
Jayne, you will keep a civil tongue in
that mouth or I will sew it shut.
414
00:33:39,846 --> 00:33:42,932
- Do we have an understanding?
- You don't pay me to talk pretty.
415
00:33:43,141 --> 00:33:45,768
Just because Kaylee gets lubed up
over some big-city-
416
00:33:45,935 --> 00:33:48,646
Walk away from this table.
Right now.
417
00:34:07,081 --> 00:34:09,667
What do you pay him for?
418
00:34:10,918 --> 00:34:14,380
- What?
- I was just wondering what his job is.
419
00:34:14,547 --> 00:34:16,007
On the ship.
420
00:34:17,300 --> 00:34:19,218
Public relations.
421
00:34:56,672 --> 00:34:57,924
If I'm intruding...
422
00:34:58,091 --> 00:35:01,219
Not at all. I expected you.
423
00:35:02,136 --> 00:35:04,430
I couldn't really say the same.
424
00:35:04,639 --> 00:35:08,935
So would you like to lecture me
on the wickedness of my ways?
425
00:35:10,687 --> 00:35:14,816
I brought you some supper.
But if you'd prefer a lecture...
426
00:35:14,982 --> 00:35:17,527
...I have a few
very catchy ones prepped.
427
00:35:17,860 --> 00:35:21,989
- Sin and hellfire. One has lepers.
- I think I'll pass.
428
00:35:23,533 --> 00:35:24,784
Thank you for this.
429
00:35:24,992 --> 00:35:27,203
The captain said you might like it.
430
00:35:27,370 --> 00:35:31,207
- I was surprised at his concern.
- For a lowly whore?
431
00:35:31,374 --> 00:35:33,334
It was unjust of him to say that.
432
00:35:33,501 --> 00:35:35,420
Believe me, I've called him worse.
433
00:35:35,795 --> 00:35:40,258
Anyway, I suspect he has more interest
in making you uncomfortable than me.
434
00:35:40,675 --> 00:35:44,387
He's not wildly interested in
ingratiating himself with anyone.
435
00:35:44,762 --> 00:35:47,890
Yet he seems very
protective of his crew.
436
00:35:48,057 --> 00:35:49,726
It's odd.
437
00:35:50,268 --> 00:35:52,729
Why are you so fascinated by him?
438
00:35:52,895 --> 00:35:55,314
Because he's something of a mystery.
439
00:35:56,232 --> 00:35:57,817
Why are you?
440
00:36:01,487 --> 00:36:03,948
Because so few men are.
441
00:36:27,847 --> 00:36:31,017
Mal, you might want to get up here.
442
00:36:41,277 --> 00:36:42,987
What is it?
443
00:36:43,154 --> 00:36:44,197
A signal.
444
00:36:44,364 --> 00:36:46,866
Somebody hailed the nearest
Alliance cruiser.
445
00:36:47,033 --> 00:36:48,868
- Tell me you scrambled it.
- To hell.
446
00:36:49,035 --> 00:36:52,163
I don't know how much got through.
Alliance got a pin in us for sure.
447
00:36:55,208 --> 00:36:57,001
We got a mole on board.
448
00:37:04,133 --> 00:37:06,677
Forget your toothpaste?
449
00:37:08,971 --> 00:37:12,308
- Are you out of your mind?
- Just about.
450
00:37:12,475 --> 00:37:15,228
- What did you tell them?
- Tell who?
451
00:37:15,853 --> 00:37:19,399
I got exactly no time for games.
What do they know?
452
00:37:19,565 --> 00:37:22,902
- You're a lunatic.
- And you're a gorram Fed.
453
00:37:23,069 --> 00:37:25,029
I hate to say it, captain...
454
00:37:25,738 --> 00:37:28,116
...but you've got the wrong man.
455
00:37:36,624 --> 00:37:39,961
- Son of a bitch.
- Drop that firearm, Captain Reynolds.
456
00:37:43,423 --> 00:37:45,049
This is not my best day ever.
457
00:37:45,717 --> 00:37:49,512
Simon Tam, you are bound by law
to stand down.
458
00:37:51,597 --> 00:37:53,307
What?
459
00:37:53,474 --> 00:37:55,101
The doctor?
460
00:37:55,351 --> 00:37:56,728
Oh.
461
00:37:57,061 --> 00:38:00,356
Hey, is there a reward?
462
00:38:00,732 --> 00:38:02,275
Get on the ground.
463
00:38:03,651 --> 00:38:06,279
- Get on the ground!
- Lawman, you are making a mistake.
464
00:38:06,446 --> 00:38:09,073
You best get on the ground.
The man seems twitchy.
465
00:38:09,240 --> 00:38:11,993
I think everybody could
stand to calm down a bit.
466
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:16,205
- This isn't your business, Shepherd.
- The boy's not going anywhere, lawman.
467
00:38:16,372 --> 00:38:18,791
As I understand it,
it's pretty cold outside.
468
00:38:18,958 --> 00:38:22,795
No worry. Put Lord Fauntleroy here
in one of the passenger cells.
469
00:38:22,962 --> 00:38:25,381
Get the hell away from that weapon!
470
00:38:25,548 --> 00:38:27,550
You think I'm a complete back-birth?
471
00:38:27,759 --> 00:38:30,470
You're carrying a fugitive across
interplanetary borders.
472
00:38:30,636 --> 00:38:33,973
And you think I believe you're
bringing medical supplies to Whitefall?
473
00:38:34,140 --> 00:38:37,143
As far as I care,
everyone on this ship is culpable.
474
00:38:37,310 --> 00:38:38,811
Well, now...
475
00:38:39,645 --> 00:38:44,484
- ... that has an effect on the landscape.
- Please. We're close to true stupidity.
476
00:38:44,650 --> 00:38:48,071
A cruiser's en route, so talk all
you want. You got about 20 minutes.
477
00:38:48,237 --> 00:38:50,782
- Might have less than that.
- Yeah, threaten me.
478
00:38:50,948 --> 00:38:54,369
- For God's sake.
- Think I won't shoot a shepherd? Back!
479
00:38:54,535 --> 00:38:56,996
- Just take him.
- Get the hell down!
480
00:38:57,163 --> 00:38:59,082
- What is-?
Stop it!
481
00:39:03,795 --> 00:39:05,546
- What-?
- Kaylee!
482
00:39:12,178 --> 00:39:14,222
How do you feel?
483
00:39:14,389 --> 00:39:16,641
- A little odd.
Be still.
484
00:39:16,808 --> 00:39:19,310
- Out of the way.
- You're not killing this man.
485
00:39:19,477 --> 00:39:21,312
- Not right away.
- He's no threat.
486
00:39:21,479 --> 00:39:24,190
- What did he-?
- Oh, whoa.
487
00:39:24,899 --> 00:39:28,861
- That ain't hardly a mosquito bite.
- Big mosquito.
488
00:39:29,070 --> 00:39:31,531
- Move.
- Not gonna happen.
489
00:39:31,698 --> 00:39:34,325
- I ain't joking with you, preacher.
Jayne!
490
00:39:36,035 --> 00:39:39,038
Just tie him up. Do it.
491
00:39:39,205 --> 00:39:42,625
Kaylee, stay with me. Stay with me.
Can you move your feet?
492
00:39:43,292 --> 00:39:46,462
- Are you asking me to dance?
- She's going into shock.
493
00:39:46,629 --> 00:39:48,589
Kaylee, you have to focus.
494
00:39:49,215 --> 00:39:51,509
The gun, shepherd. Please.
495
00:39:55,304 --> 00:39:57,974
- The infirmary working?
- Yeah, we got it stocked.
496
00:39:58,725 --> 00:40:00,435
We've been hailed by a cruiser...
497
00:40:00,601 --> 00:40:03,980
...ordered to stay on course
and dock for prisoner transfer.
498
00:40:10,528 --> 00:40:14,240
- Change course. Run.
- Hell with you.
499
00:40:14,407 --> 00:40:16,743
You brought this.
I'm dumping you with the law.
500
00:40:16,909 --> 00:40:18,327
She's dying.
501
00:40:18,494 --> 00:40:20,413
- You're not gonna let her.
- Yes, I am.
502
00:40:20,580 --> 00:40:22,749
- No. You can't.
- The Feds won't let us walk.
503
00:40:22,915 --> 00:40:26,169
- We dump him in a shuttle. Leave him.
- Everybody's so mad.
504
00:40:26,335 --> 00:40:28,171
- It's okay.
- Know what that wound does?
505
00:40:28,337 --> 00:40:30,882
- I surely do.
- The next few minutes are crucial.
506
00:40:31,049 --> 00:40:33,801
You let her die,
you'll never make it to the Feds.
507
00:40:33,968 --> 00:40:35,636
She'll still be dead.
508
00:40:35,803 --> 00:40:39,223
You rich kids think your lives
are the only thing that matters.
509
00:40:39,432 --> 00:40:42,101
What'd you do? Kill your folks
for the family fortune?
510
00:40:42,310 --> 00:40:44,354
- I don't kill people.
- Then do your job.
511
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:47,190
- Turn this ship around.
- Enough! Mal, do it.
512
00:40:47,357 --> 00:40:48,983
Don't you ever tell me
what to do-
513
00:40:54,697 --> 00:40:57,784
Zoe, change course.
514
00:40:58,826 --> 00:41:00,870
Help me get her up.
515
00:41:01,496 --> 00:41:05,708
Wash, change course and go
for hard burn. We're running.
516
00:41:20,098 --> 00:41:22,058
- You have an extractor?
- Got a laser saw.
517
00:41:22,225 --> 00:41:25,395
That's not good enough.
My room, red bag.
518
00:41:27,772 --> 00:41:30,024
When this is over,
you and me will have a chat.
519
00:41:30,191 --> 00:41:33,069
Won't that be fun. Dope her.
520
00:42:14,485 --> 00:42:17,030
Can't do any more until she stabilizes.
521
00:42:17,196 --> 00:42:18,531
Will she?
522
00:42:18,698 --> 00:42:20,616
I can't say yet.
523
00:42:20,783 --> 00:42:23,161
I want to know what's going on here.
524
00:42:23,828 --> 00:42:27,832
- Well, then, why don't we find out.
- No!
525
00:42:27,999 --> 00:42:29,751
No!
526
00:42:31,210 --> 00:42:32,795
Stay away from that.
527
00:42:34,297 --> 00:42:35,965
Where's the Fed?
528
00:42:36,758 --> 00:42:39,218
Secured. Shepherd's with him.
529
00:42:39,594 --> 00:42:42,096
Seems to think he's not safe
alone with me.
530
00:42:46,267 --> 00:42:47,685
No.
531
00:42:50,021 --> 00:42:53,775
Well, let's see what a man
like you would kill for.
532
00:42:53,983 --> 00:42:56,069
No, don't!
533
00:43:18,341 --> 00:43:19,717
Huh.
534
00:43:27,016 --> 00:43:28,893
I need to check her vitals.
535
00:43:29,060 --> 00:43:32,522
- Is that what they call it?
- She's not to wake. The shock-
536
00:43:32,730 --> 00:43:35,358
The shock of what? Waking up?
537
00:43:35,525 --> 00:43:38,569
Finding out she's been sold
to some border world baron?
538
00:43:38,736 --> 00:43:41,322
I'm sorry, was this one for you?
539
00:43:41,489 --> 00:43:43,616
Is it true love?
Because you do seem a little-
540
00:44:02,927 --> 00:44:04,762
River.
541
00:44:04,929 --> 00:44:08,891
It's okay. It's okay.
It's okay, I'm here.
542
00:44:12,603 --> 00:44:13,771
Simon.
543
00:44:17,316 --> 00:44:21,070
Simon, they talked to me.
They want me to talk-
544
00:44:21,237 --> 00:44:25,324
They're gone. They're gone.
They're gone. We're safe now.
545
00:44:25,491 --> 00:44:29,287
We're safe. We're safe. I'm here.
546
00:44:36,878 --> 00:44:39,255
What the hell is this?
547
00:44:42,300 --> 00:44:44,510
This is my sister.
548
00:44:57,815 --> 00:44:59,692
I am very smart.
549
00:45:01,277 --> 00:45:05,823
I went to the best medic-ad on Osiris.
Top three percent of my class.
550
00:45:05,990 --> 00:45:09,035
Finished my internship in eight months.
551
00:45:10,078 --> 00:45:13,164
Gifted is the term.
552
00:45:15,083 --> 00:45:21,756
So when I tell you that my little sister
makes me look like an idiot child...
553
00:45:21,964 --> 00:45:24,592
...I want you to understand
my full meaning.
554
00:45:26,594 --> 00:45:29,514
River was more than gifted.
555
00:45:31,349 --> 00:45:33,059
She was a gift.
556
00:45:34,811 --> 00:45:40,525
Everything she did: music, math,
theoretical physics, even dance...
557
00:45:41,025 --> 00:45:45,947
...there was nothing that didn't come as
naturally to her as breathing does to us.
558
00:45:47,156 --> 00:45:52,912
And she could be a real brat about it too.
I mean, she used to...
559
00:45:58,876 --> 00:46:01,713
There was a schooI...
560
00:46:01,879 --> 00:46:04,590
...a government-sponsored academy.
561
00:46:04,757 --> 00:46:08,469
We had never even heard of it,
but it had the most exciting program.
562
00:46:08,636 --> 00:46:10,596
The most challenging.
563
00:46:10,763 --> 00:46:15,143
We could've sent her anywhere, we
had the money, but she wanted to go.
564
00:46:15,309 --> 00:46:17,228
She wanted to learn.
565
00:46:18,938 --> 00:46:21,441
She was 14.
566
00:46:28,406 --> 00:46:33,953
I got a few letters at first,
and then I didn't hear for months.
567
00:46:34,746 --> 00:46:37,206
Finally, I got a letter
that made no sense.
568
00:46:37,373 --> 00:46:42,003
She talked about things that never
happened. Jokes that we never...
569
00:46:42,170 --> 00:46:45,715
It was a code. It just said:
570
00:46:49,093 --> 00:46:50,678
"They're hurting us.
571
00:46:52,430 --> 00:46:54,307
Get me out. "
572
00:46:57,560 --> 00:46:59,062
How'd you do it?
573
00:47:00,980 --> 00:47:02,273
Money.
574
00:47:04,192 --> 00:47:05,651
And luck.
575
00:47:06,611 --> 00:47:09,489
For two years I couldn't get near her.
576
00:47:09,655 --> 00:47:13,618
Then I was contacted by some men,
some underground movement.
577
00:47:13,785 --> 00:47:16,913
They said that she was
in danger...
578
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:21,292
...that the government
was playing with her brain.
579
00:47:22,877 --> 00:47:26,214
If I funded them, they'd sneak her out,
get her to Persephone...
580
00:47:26,381 --> 00:47:30,134
...and from there,
I could take her wherever.
581
00:47:30,802 --> 00:47:32,095
Will she be all right?
582
00:47:32,261 --> 00:47:37,600
I don't know if she'll be all right. I don't
know what they did to her. Or why.
583
00:47:39,686 --> 00:47:42,188
I just have to keep her safe.
584
00:47:45,692 --> 00:47:49,445
- That's quite a story, son.
- Yeah. It's a tale of woe.
585
00:47:49,612 --> 00:47:53,282
Stirring. But in the meantime,
you heaped a world of trouble on us-
586
00:47:53,449 --> 00:47:56,202
- I never thought-
- I don't imagine you thought.
587
00:47:56,369 --> 00:47:58,955
In consequence,
we got a kidnapped Fed on board.
588
00:47:59,122 --> 00:48:01,708
We got the Alliance on our trail.
And Kaylee-
589
00:48:01,874 --> 00:48:04,210
- How much does the Alliance know?
- Can't say.
590
00:48:04,377 --> 00:48:07,004
I killed the message,
so maybe just our position.
591
00:48:07,171 --> 00:48:10,091
Or they might have personal profiles
on each of us.
592
00:48:10,299 --> 00:48:14,095
- Till that Fed wakes up, we won't know.
- So, what do we do?
593
00:48:17,056 --> 00:48:18,766
The job.
594
00:48:18,933 --> 00:48:21,644
I got word from Patience,
she's waiting for us.
595
00:48:21,853 --> 00:48:25,857
We circle around to Whitefall,
make the deal, get out.
596
00:48:26,024 --> 00:48:27,650
Keep flying.
597
00:48:28,317 --> 00:48:30,611
What about us?
598
00:48:32,989 --> 00:48:36,409
Kaylee comes through,
you and your sister get off at Whitefall.
599
00:48:36,659 --> 00:48:38,411
If she doesn't come through?
600
00:48:38,995 --> 00:48:41,330
Then you're getting
off a mite sooner.
601
00:48:41,497 --> 00:48:43,624
- That'd be murder.
- Boy made a decision.
602
00:48:43,791 --> 00:48:46,044
- He didn't shoot her.
- No, somebody else did...
603
00:48:46,210 --> 00:48:48,046
...and why ain't we dealt with him?
604
00:48:48,254 --> 00:48:51,883
- Kill a Fed? Can you think of a stupider-
- He can ID us all.
605
00:48:52,050 --> 00:48:56,721
- Throw me out. But River is not a part-
- Can we vote on the murdering issue?
606
00:48:56,888 --> 00:48:59,807
We don't vote on my ship.
It's not the town hall.
607
00:48:59,974 --> 00:49:03,227
- This is insanity.
- I think we're beyond that now, sir!
608
00:49:03,394 --> 00:49:07,190
- We'll talk this through, yeah?
- I'll not sit by while there's killing here.
609
00:49:11,986 --> 00:49:14,655
The way it is
is the way it is.
610
00:49:14,822 --> 00:49:17,283
We gotta deal
with what's in front of us.
611
00:49:18,242 --> 00:49:22,080
Mal, you know those two wouldn't
survive a day in Whitefall anyway.
612
00:49:25,500 --> 00:49:28,419
You throw them out, I'm leaving too.
613
00:49:32,673 --> 00:49:35,009
It might be best you do.
614
00:49:35,718 --> 00:49:38,137
You ain't a part of this business.
615
00:49:45,728 --> 00:49:47,730
What business is that, exactly?
616
00:49:50,024 --> 00:49:52,568
I'm a dead man. I can't know?
617
00:49:52,735 --> 00:49:54,862
Is it gold?
618
00:49:55,029 --> 00:49:56,531
Drugs?
619
00:49:56,698 --> 00:49:58,491
Pirate treasure?
620
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:02,328
What is it that makes you so afraid
of the Alliance?
621
00:50:02,495 --> 00:50:04,872
You don't want to go down
this road with me, boy.
622
00:50:05,164 --> 00:50:07,375
Are you not afraid of them?
623
00:50:07,542 --> 00:50:10,962
I already know you'd sell
me out to them for a pat on the head.
624
00:50:11,129 --> 00:50:15,883
Hell, you should probably be working
for them. You certainly fit the profile-
625
00:50:22,432 --> 00:50:24,142
Saw that coming.
626
00:50:34,402 --> 00:50:36,946
I'm in a tricky position.
627
00:50:37,113 --> 00:50:38,906
I guess you know.
628
00:50:39,782 --> 00:50:41,659
Got me a boatload of strange folk...
629
00:50:41,826 --> 00:50:45,788
...making my life a little more
interesting than I generally like.
630
00:50:45,955 --> 00:50:50,960
Chief among them, an Alliance mole who
likes to shoot at girls when he's nervous.
631
00:50:51,961 --> 00:50:54,172
I gotta know how close
the Alliance is...
632
00:50:54,338 --> 00:50:59,177
...exactly how much you told them
before Wash scrambled your call.
633
00:50:59,969 --> 00:51:01,471
So...
634
00:51:01,637 --> 00:51:04,432
...I've given Jayne here
the job of finding out.
635
00:51:04,599 --> 00:51:07,727
He was non-specific as to how.
636
00:51:08,644 --> 00:51:10,438
You're only gonna scare him.
637
00:51:10,605 --> 00:51:13,232
- Pain is scary.
- Just do it right.
638
00:51:19,947 --> 00:51:22,075
Any idea how much trouble you're in?
639
00:51:22,241 --> 00:51:25,787
- Never been in trouble with the law.
- No, not like this.
640
00:51:25,953 --> 00:51:28,247
You think this is just a smuggling rap?
641
00:51:28,414 --> 00:51:31,042
- The package that boy's carrying-
- It's a girl.
642
00:51:31,209 --> 00:51:35,213
She's cute too. Except I don't think
she's all there, you know?
643
00:51:35,505 --> 00:51:39,342
- Of course, not all of her has to be.
- She's a precious commodity.
644
00:51:39,509 --> 00:51:45,056
They'll come after her. Long after
you bury me, they'll be coming.
645
00:51:45,223 --> 00:51:49,602
I'm not gonna kill you, Dobson.
What's your first name?
646
00:51:51,604 --> 00:51:53,064
Lawrence.
647
00:51:54,148 --> 00:51:58,528
Lawrence, I'm just gonna cut on you
until you tell me how much they know.
648
00:51:58,695 --> 00:52:02,073
They know everything.
Every name, every record, how many...
649
00:52:02,240 --> 00:52:04,283
...nose hairs you've got.
650
00:52:05,660 --> 00:52:11,040
See, they don't know a damn thing.
It's all over your face. I ain't even-
651
00:52:11,874 --> 00:52:13,835
I was gonna get me a ear too.
652
00:52:14,585 --> 00:52:16,421
Aren't you an officer of the law?
653
00:52:16,587 --> 00:52:19,215
Don't they teach you
to withstand interrogation?
654
00:52:19,382 --> 00:52:21,300
You can't even tell a damn lie.
655
00:52:21,467 --> 00:52:24,637
Okay, I can see you're not an idiot.
656
00:52:24,804 --> 00:52:28,683
Wish I could say the same, Lawrence,
but this is disappointing as hell.
657
00:52:28,850 --> 00:52:32,729
Let me speak a language
you will understand: money.
658
00:52:33,187 --> 00:52:36,149
This girl is worth a lot of money.
I mean, a lot.
659
00:52:36,315 --> 00:52:38,359
Now, you kill me, there's nothing.
660
00:52:38,818 --> 00:52:42,321
But if you help me out...
661
00:52:43,364 --> 00:52:46,451
...you'll have enough
to buy your own ship.
662
00:52:46,617 --> 00:52:48,786
Better one than this piece of crap.
663
00:52:51,456 --> 00:52:54,417
Does helping you out mean
turning on the captain?
664
00:52:56,169 --> 00:52:58,129
Yes, it does.
665
00:53:00,798 --> 00:53:02,717
How the hell did they find us?
666
00:53:02,884 --> 00:53:04,260
- It's not Alliance.
- You sure?
667
00:53:04,427 --> 00:53:07,096
- It's a smaller vessel.
- Commercial?
668
00:53:07,263 --> 00:53:13,061
- Yes. I read it as an older model Trans-U.
- I didn't think Trans-U still operated.
669
00:53:13,227 --> 00:53:15,605
They don't. Get me visual.
670
00:53:15,772 --> 00:53:18,358
- They're still too far out.
- Get me something.
671
00:53:21,611 --> 00:53:23,696
I'm picking up a lot of radiation.
672
00:53:25,490 --> 00:53:28,201
They're operating
without core containment. That's...
673
00:53:29,952 --> 00:53:32,080
That's suicide.
674
00:53:40,588 --> 00:53:42,090
Reavers.
675
00:53:56,437 --> 00:53:57,772
Oh, God.
676
00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:01,025
Oh, God. Oh, God.
677
00:54:06,197 --> 00:54:07,907
This is the captain.
678
00:54:09,492 --> 00:54:11,285
We're passing another ship.
679
00:54:12,537 --> 00:54:14,288
Looks to be Reavers.
680
00:54:14,747 --> 00:54:17,250
In size, probably a raiding party.
681
00:54:17,834 --> 00:54:20,545
Could be they're headed
somewhere particular.
682
00:54:21,129 --> 00:54:25,883
Could be they already hit someone and
they're full up, so everyone stay calm.
683
00:54:26,592 --> 00:54:29,846
If we try to run, they'll have
to chase us. It's their way.
684
00:54:30,513 --> 00:54:32,306
We're holding course.
685
00:54:32,473 --> 00:54:34,600
We should be passing
them in a minute...
686
00:54:34,767 --> 00:54:36,894
...so we'll see what they do.
687
00:54:39,647 --> 00:54:41,858
Zoe, you come on up to the bridge.
688
00:54:44,861 --> 00:54:47,989
- I don't understand.
- You never heard of Reavers?
689
00:54:48,156 --> 00:54:52,368
Campfire stories. Men gone savage
on the edge of space. Killing-
690
00:54:52,535 --> 00:54:54,245
They're not stories.
691
00:54:55,621 --> 00:54:57,373
What happens if they board us?
692
00:54:58,249 --> 00:54:59,667
If they take the ship...
693
00:54:59,834 --> 00:55:04,422
...they'll rape us to death, eat our flesh
and sew our skins into their clothing.
694
00:55:04,589 --> 00:55:08,051
And if we're very, very lucky,
they'll do it in that order.
695
00:56:12,407 --> 00:56:13,908
There's a magnetic grappler.
696
00:56:14,075 --> 00:56:17,662
- They get ahold of us with that.
- Tell me if they hold their course.
697
00:56:36,222 --> 00:56:38,558
They're holding course.
698
00:56:39,892 --> 00:56:41,728
I guess they weren't hungry.
699
00:56:42,979 --> 00:56:44,731
Didn't expect to see them here.
700
00:56:44,897 --> 00:56:47,108
They're pushing out further
every year too.
701
00:56:47,275 --> 00:56:50,111
Getting awful crowded in my sky.
702
00:56:57,076 --> 00:56:58,494
Hey, captain.
703
00:56:58,786 --> 00:57:00,663
Hey.
704
00:57:01,456 --> 00:57:03,791
Hello, Kaylee. What's the news?
705
00:57:04,208 --> 00:57:07,962
I'm shiny, captain. A-Okay.
706
00:57:10,506 --> 00:57:14,886
I can't feel much
below my belly, though.
707
00:57:16,137 --> 00:57:18,514
It's getting cold.
708
00:57:20,350 --> 00:57:22,185
Well, you just gotta rest.
709
00:57:24,228 --> 00:57:26,731
Something will break down
on this boat soon.
710
00:57:26,898 --> 00:57:28,691
Who else I got to fix it?
711
00:57:29,484 --> 00:57:31,319
Don't you worry none.
712
00:57:31,486 --> 00:57:34,322
Doc fixed me up pretty.
713
00:57:35,323 --> 00:57:36,616
He's nice.
714
00:57:38,743 --> 00:57:42,163
Don't go working too hard
on that crush.
715
00:57:42,330 --> 00:57:44,582
Doc won't be with us for long.
716
00:57:45,500 --> 00:57:47,752
You're nice too.
717
00:57:48,378 --> 00:57:50,421
No, I'm not.
718
00:57:50,588 --> 00:57:52,548
I'm a mean old man.
719
00:57:53,716 --> 00:57:56,594
He wasn't gonna let me die.
720
00:57:57,512 --> 00:57:59,430
He was just trying to...
721
00:58:04,352 --> 00:58:06,354
It's nobody's fault.
722
00:58:06,646 --> 00:58:10,858
Okay? Just promise me you're
gonna remember that.
723
00:58:13,569 --> 00:58:15,530
I'll keep it in mind.
724
00:58:16,155 --> 00:58:19,951
You are a nice man, captain.
725
00:58:20,785 --> 00:58:23,830
You're always looking after us.
726
00:58:25,498 --> 00:58:29,794
You just gotta have faith in people.
727
00:58:37,719 --> 00:58:41,097
She's a real beauty, isn't she?
728
00:58:56,154 --> 00:58:58,573
It's a standard companion
immunization package.
729
00:58:58,740 --> 00:59:01,159
- I'm not sure it'll help-
- It won't hurt.
730
00:59:01,325 --> 00:59:05,288
- Supplies down there are rudimentary.
- Is there anything else I can do?
731
00:59:05,496 --> 00:59:10,418
- I don't think so, but I appreciate it.
- Kaylee's very dear...
732
00:59:10,585 --> 00:59:12,170
...to all of us.
733
00:59:17,300 --> 00:59:19,177
I'm sorry.
734
00:59:20,136 --> 00:59:22,597
For my part in what happened.
735
00:59:25,892 --> 00:59:27,226
I've never...
736
00:59:27,393 --> 00:59:30,855
- I mean, I don't know how to-
- You're lost in the woods.
737
00:59:31,022 --> 00:59:33,608
We all are. Even the captain.
738
00:59:33,900 --> 00:59:36,235
The only difference is
he likes it that way.
739
00:59:36,694 --> 00:59:42,367
No, the only difference is the woods
are the only place I can see a clear path.
740
00:59:42,533 --> 00:59:46,120
- What's your business here?
- It's my business. The usual.
741
00:59:46,329 --> 00:59:50,375
I gave the boy a free thrust
since he's not long for this world.
742
00:59:50,541 --> 00:59:54,045
- What are you doing in my shuttle?
- It's my shuttle. You rent it.
743
00:59:54,212 --> 00:59:58,091
Then when I'm behind on the rent,
you can enter unasked.
744
00:59:58,257 --> 01:00:00,677
I thought you were leaving, anyhow.
745
01:00:00,843 --> 01:00:03,471
Well, I guess that depends on you.
746
01:00:12,355 --> 01:00:14,691
You ruin her, too, you know.
747
01:00:16,025 --> 01:00:19,821
This is the thing I see
you're uncomprehending on.
748
01:00:19,987 --> 01:00:22,824
Everyone on this ship...
749
01:00:22,990 --> 01:00:25,868
...even a legitimate
businesswoman like her...
750
01:00:26,035 --> 01:00:28,996
...their lives can be snatched away
because of that Fed.
751
01:00:29,747 --> 01:00:32,709
You got a solution for that?
You got a way around?
752
01:00:33,376 --> 01:00:35,336
I don't.
753
01:00:35,503 --> 01:00:38,047
Comes time, someone will have
to deal with him.
754
01:00:38,214 --> 01:00:42,260
That should be you.
But I don't think you got the guts.
755
01:00:43,928 --> 01:00:46,139
And I know you don't have the time.
756
01:00:46,848 --> 01:00:48,391
What do you mean?
757
01:00:51,686 --> 01:00:53,688
Kaylee's dead.
758
01:01:37,732 --> 01:01:40,109
The man's psychotic.
759
01:01:46,282 --> 01:01:48,201
You are psychotic.
760
01:01:49,535 --> 01:01:52,413
No, you should have seen his face.
761
01:01:52,580 --> 01:01:56,834
- I'm a bad man.
- And Kaylee's really okay?
762
01:01:57,001 --> 01:02:00,254
Yeah. I didn't expect her
to heal this quick.
763
01:02:00,421 --> 01:02:02,757
Doctor knows his trade,
I'll give him that.
764
01:02:03,049 --> 01:02:05,718
- We're being hailed.
- That would be Patience.
765
01:02:05,885 --> 01:02:08,388
We're close enough for vid,
put her up.
766
01:02:13,601 --> 01:02:16,646
- Malcolm Reynolds?
- Hello, Patience.
767
01:02:16,813 --> 01:02:19,941
I have to say, I didn't look to be
hearing from you anytime soon.
768
01:02:20,108 --> 01:02:23,945
Well, we may not have parted
on the best of terms.
769
01:02:24,112 --> 01:02:29,075
I realize certain words were exchanged,
also certain bullets.
770
01:02:29,409 --> 01:02:33,830
That's air through the engine.
It's past. We're business people.
771
01:02:34,205 --> 01:02:36,874
Your days of fighting over salvage
are behind you.
772
01:02:37,041 --> 01:02:40,086
- What are you, mayor now?
- Just about.
773
01:02:40,336 --> 01:02:43,089
You telling the truth about that cargo?
774
01:02:43,256 --> 01:02:46,759
Your asking price is a bit too reasonable
for that much treasure.
775
01:02:46,968 --> 01:02:49,012
It's imprinted,
hence the discount.
776
01:02:49,178 --> 01:02:50,596
Government goods, huh?
777
01:02:50,805 --> 01:02:53,141
If that doesn't work for you,
no harm-
778
01:02:53,307 --> 01:02:57,603
Alliance don't scare me.
Just collating data, as they say.
779
01:02:58,813 --> 01:03:01,607
I like that you're up-front about it.
780
01:03:02,400 --> 01:03:03,985
We can deal.
781
01:03:04,318 --> 01:03:07,405
I left load coordinates
for a rendezvous outside of town.
782
01:03:07,572 --> 01:03:09,115
See you in the world.
783
01:03:13,828 --> 01:03:16,205
I believe she's planning
to shoot me again.
784
01:03:16,372 --> 01:03:19,167
If she meant to pay,
she'd have haggled you down.
785
01:03:19,333 --> 01:03:21,961
Just a little effort to hide
it would've been-
786
01:03:27,216 --> 01:03:30,595
- Sir, we don't have to deal with her.
- Yes, we do.
787
01:03:30,762 --> 01:03:34,307
Here's a concept I been working on.
Why don't we shoot her first?
788
01:03:34,474 --> 01:03:36,017
It is her turn.
789
01:03:36,184 --> 01:03:39,520
- Doesn't get us what we need.
- There's moons here we ain't seen.
790
01:03:39,687 --> 01:03:41,773
- We could try our luck-
- Our luck?
791
01:03:44,567 --> 01:03:48,196
You notice anything particular
about our luck these past few days?
792
01:03:48,363 --> 01:03:50,323
Any kind of pattern?
793
01:03:52,700 --> 01:03:58,206
You depend on luck, you end up
on the drift. No fuel, no prospects...
794
01:03:58,373 --> 01:04:00,458
...begging for Alliance make-work.
795
01:04:00,666 --> 01:04:03,711
Getting towed out to the scrap belt.
That ain't us.
796
01:04:03,878 --> 01:04:05,671
Not ever.
797
01:04:08,508 --> 01:04:11,803
Patience has got the money to pay
and she will, one way or another.
798
01:04:12,303 --> 01:04:15,973
There's obstacles in our path
and we'll deal with them one by one.
799
01:04:17,016 --> 01:04:19,310
We'll get through this.
800
01:04:20,228 --> 01:04:21,688
We will.
801
01:04:52,260 --> 01:04:55,763
- Nice place for an ambush.
- That it is.
802
01:05:04,063 --> 01:05:06,524
Here you are.
I buried them good.
803
01:05:06,691 --> 01:05:08,609
Equipment's back on the boat.
804
01:05:10,111 --> 01:05:11,279
Testing.
805
01:05:11,738 --> 01:05:14,657
- Testing, captain. Can you hear me?
- I'm right here.
806
01:05:14,824 --> 01:05:18,494
- You're coming through good and loud.
- Because I'm right here.
807
01:05:18,661 --> 01:05:20,621
But the transmitter's...
808
01:05:22,957 --> 01:05:25,877
Patience is gonna figure
we buried the cargo...
809
01:05:26,044 --> 01:05:29,547
...which means putting us to our ease
before there's any action.
810
01:05:30,006 --> 01:05:32,091
She'll come at us from the east...
811
01:05:32,300 --> 01:05:34,260
...talk the location out of us.
812
01:05:34,427 --> 01:05:37,013
She'll have a coin to show us first.
813
01:05:38,306 --> 01:05:41,142
We get it, give the location...
814
01:05:41,309 --> 01:05:44,604
...snipers hit us from there and there.
815
01:05:44,812 --> 01:05:47,231
- You figure they're in place yet?
- Should be.
816
01:05:47,565 --> 01:05:49,525
Feel like taking a walk around?
817
01:05:49,734 --> 01:05:53,654
You don't want to piss yourself
and back down like you did with Badger?
818
01:05:55,156 --> 01:05:58,326
Walk soft. I want Patience thinking
they're still in place.
819
01:05:58,493 --> 01:06:01,913
Don't kill anyone you don't have to.
We're here to make a deal.
820
01:06:06,209 --> 01:06:10,588
Don't think it's a good spot, sir.
She still has the advantage over us.
821
01:06:11,089 --> 01:06:13,633
Everyone always does.
822
01:06:13,883 --> 01:06:16,302
That's what makes us special.
823
01:06:24,185 --> 01:06:25,770
Lawman.
824
01:06:25,937 --> 01:06:28,022
It's Shepherd Book.
825
01:06:29,399 --> 01:06:30,983
I believe you're in more danger-
826
01:07:18,906 --> 01:07:20,283
Ah.
827
01:07:20,742 --> 01:07:23,286
Mal. How you doing, boy?
828
01:07:23,453 --> 01:07:25,079
Walking and talking.
829
01:07:25,621 --> 01:07:29,333
Is that Zoe?
You still sailing with this old bum?
830
01:07:30,001 --> 01:07:32,545
Awful lot of men to haul three crates.
831
01:07:32,712 --> 01:07:36,883
Well, I couldn't be sure my Mal here
wouldn't be looking for some payback.
832
01:07:37,216 --> 01:07:38,676
You understand.
833
01:07:38,843 --> 01:07:41,763
We're just on the job,
not interested in surprises.
834
01:08:26,933 --> 01:08:28,726
I don't see my cargo anywhere.
835
01:08:28,935 --> 01:08:31,437
You won't,
until I'm holding 200 in platinum.
836
01:08:31,604 --> 01:08:36,067
Come on, Reynolds. I'm supposed to
take it on faith that you got the goods?
837
01:08:44,075 --> 01:08:45,451
It's pure, Patience.
838
01:08:46,285 --> 01:08:51,666
Genuine A-grade foodstuffs. Protein,
vitamins, immunization supplements.
839
01:08:51,833 --> 01:08:54,001
One would feed a family for a month.
840
01:08:54,210 --> 01:08:59,215
- Longer if they don't like their kids.
- Yep, that's the stuff.
841
01:09:03,386 --> 01:09:04,971
So where's the rest?
842
01:09:07,640 --> 01:09:09,058
Simon?
843
01:09:09,976 --> 01:09:11,602
What's wrong, sweetie?
844
01:09:20,820 --> 01:09:22,864
Look at you, all woke up.
845
01:09:24,157 --> 01:09:26,951
Sorry about what happened before,
but make a sound...
846
01:09:27,118 --> 01:09:29,746
...the next one goes
through your throat.
847
01:09:33,416 --> 01:09:38,546
East half a mile, bottom of the first hill,
you'll see where it's been dug.
848
01:09:39,589 --> 01:09:41,758
I reckon I will.
849
01:09:43,801 --> 01:09:45,470
Well, then...
850
01:09:46,471 --> 01:09:48,097
Yep.
851
01:09:54,937 --> 01:09:58,900
I'd appreciate it if you all turn
around and ride out first.
852
01:09:59,442 --> 01:10:02,487
Well, you see, there's a kind of hitch.
853
01:10:04,072 --> 01:10:06,783
We both made out on this.
Don't complicate things.
854
01:10:06,949 --> 01:10:08,534
I got a rule.
855
01:10:08,701 --> 01:10:11,412
I never let go of money
I don't have to.
856
01:10:11,621 --> 01:10:14,374
Which is maybe why
I'm running this little world...
857
01:10:14,540 --> 01:10:19,337
...and you're still on that dinky
old boat sniffing for scraps.
858
01:10:28,012 --> 01:10:30,848
Got the money back.
There's no need for killing.
859
01:10:31,015 --> 01:10:34,268
- We're just gonna walk away?
- That's up to Patience here.
860
01:10:34,435 --> 01:10:37,480
- Could be messy.
- Not terribly.
861
01:10:38,147 --> 01:10:41,275
Mal, you just ain't very bright, are you?
862
01:10:41,609 --> 01:10:43,319
That's quite a rifle.
863
01:10:43,945 --> 01:10:46,531
Boy must be your best
shot to carry that.
864
01:10:46,698 --> 01:10:49,909
He's called Two-Fry.
Always makes it quick and clean.
865
01:10:50,410 --> 01:10:52,203
Two-Fry.
866
01:10:52,370 --> 01:10:54,622
Nice hat.
867
01:11:02,880 --> 01:11:06,384
You should ask the captain
to drop you somewhere else.
868
01:11:06,551 --> 01:11:10,346
Whitefall ain't exactly civilization
in the strictest sense.
869
01:11:10,513 --> 01:11:12,473
You don't have to worry about me.
870
01:11:13,766 --> 01:11:16,519
Zoe's out on a deal, I always worry.
871
01:11:16,686 --> 01:11:17,729
So...
872
01:11:17,895 --> 01:11:19,731
...it's not out of my way.
873
01:11:19,897 --> 01:11:21,399
He took her.
874
01:11:22,191 --> 01:11:24,485
He took River.
875
01:11:30,700 --> 01:11:33,119
Don't. Don't you dare.
876
01:12:24,003 --> 01:12:25,630
Zoe.
877
01:12:26,506 --> 01:12:28,007
Armor's dented.
878
01:12:28,216 --> 01:12:30,218
You were right about this
being a bad idea.
879
01:12:30,385 --> 01:12:33,262
- Thanks for saying.
- Mal, don't you take another step!
880
01:12:43,314 --> 01:12:48,653
I did a job. Got nothing but trouble since,
not to mention a few unkind words...
881
01:12:48,820 --> 01:12:52,657
...as regard to my character,
so let me make this abundantly clear.
882
01:12:52,824 --> 01:12:54,659
I do the job...
883
01:12:56,369 --> 01:12:57,995
...and then I get paid.
884
01:13:00,665 --> 01:13:02,583
Go run your little world.
885
01:13:04,127 --> 01:13:07,088
Mal! It's Wash!
886
01:13:07,296 --> 01:13:09,674
We got ship coming in.
They followed us!
887
01:13:09,841 --> 01:13:11,509
The Reavers followed us.
888
01:13:38,494 --> 01:13:41,289
No, don't! Don't move.
889
01:13:41,456 --> 01:13:43,666
Reavers! Reavers incoming...
890
01:13:43,875 --> 01:13:47,712
...and heading straight for us.
We are in the air in one minute.
891
01:13:49,088 --> 01:13:51,215
I guess they got hungry again.
892
01:13:53,551 --> 01:13:57,013
You can do that. You're gonna kill
a lawman in cold blood?
893
01:13:58,139 --> 01:14:02,477
I know what you did for your sister.
I understand. It doesn't make you a killer.
894
01:14:03,519 --> 01:14:07,523
I don't want to hurt anybody.
I have a job to do.
895
01:14:07,732 --> 01:14:11,110
To uphold the law,
that's what we're talking about here.
896
01:14:19,202 --> 01:14:23,289
Come on, come on.
Where the hell are you guys?
897
01:14:40,264 --> 01:14:43,184
There's nowhere you can take her
the law won't find.
898
01:14:44,394 --> 01:14:47,105
Nobody is going to hurt her.
899
01:14:47,897 --> 01:14:51,693
- Unless you hurt me.
- No, I said! I said, don't move.
900
01:14:54,696 --> 01:14:56,239
It's your call.
901
01:15:13,756 --> 01:15:17,719
I'm not playing anymore.
Anybody makes so much-
902
01:15:27,770 --> 01:15:29,313
Jayne!
903
01:15:36,237 --> 01:15:37,613
Wash, we're on!
904
01:15:58,176 --> 01:15:59,802
How close are they?
905
01:15:59,969 --> 01:16:02,847
- Twenty seconds from spitting distance.
- Lose them.
906
01:16:03,014 --> 01:16:04,515
Give me vid.
907
01:16:09,103 --> 01:16:12,148
- How close do they need to be?
Come on, dodge them!
908
01:16:12,315 --> 01:16:14,317
If everyone could be quiet a moment.
909
01:16:19,405 --> 01:16:23,534
- I need Kaylee in the engine room.
- Get her in there now.
910
01:16:27,330 --> 01:16:30,249
Get in your shuttle.
Get the civilians ready to go.
911
01:16:30,416 --> 01:16:33,086
- I can't just leave you here.
- That was the plan.
912
01:16:33,252 --> 01:16:35,463
- Mal, don't do this-
- We get boarded, take off.
913
01:16:35,630 --> 01:16:38,383
- We might be able to stop them.
- They'll kill you.
914
01:16:38,549 --> 01:16:40,551
Inara...
915
01:16:42,970 --> 01:16:44,764
Go.
916
01:16:49,102 --> 01:16:50,937
How we doing?
917
01:16:51,104 --> 01:16:53,398
I don't mean to alarm anybody...
918
01:16:53,815 --> 01:16:57,360
...but I think we're being followed.
919
01:17:05,576 --> 01:17:07,662
You three, come with me.
920
01:17:07,829 --> 01:17:09,789
I think I can help Kaylee out.
921
01:17:09,997 --> 01:17:12,583
- Should I-?
- Take her. Keep her safe.
922
01:17:25,179 --> 01:17:27,640
Can't keep this up.
They're gonna lock us down.
923
01:17:27,807 --> 01:17:29,684
Kaylee, how we doing?
924
01:17:30,101 --> 01:17:31,978
Gonna need a little push here.
925
01:17:32,145 --> 01:17:34,063
You want me to go for full burn?
926
01:17:34,230 --> 01:17:36,733
Not just yet, but set it up.
927
01:17:36,899 --> 01:17:39,152
You know where the press regulator is?
928
01:17:43,865 --> 01:17:45,491
Head of the class.
929
01:17:50,329 --> 01:17:52,415
We're ready for full burn
on your mark.
930
01:17:52,623 --> 01:17:54,959
Full burn in atmo?
That won't burn us out?
931
01:17:55,126 --> 01:17:58,713
Even if it doesn't, they can push
just as hard, keep right on us.
932
01:17:59,589 --> 01:18:02,592
Wash, you gotta give me an Ivan.
933
01:18:03,259 --> 01:18:05,011
I'll see what I can do.
934
01:18:05,178 --> 01:18:08,431
Kaylee, how would you feel
about pulling a Crazy Ivan?
935
01:18:08,639 --> 01:18:11,017
Always wanted to try one.
936
01:18:11,684 --> 01:18:15,646
Jayne, open the port jack controI,
cut the hydraulics.
937
01:18:16,314 --> 01:18:20,151
- Where the hell is-?
- Look. Look where I'm pointing.
938
01:18:21,986 --> 01:18:25,615
Okay. Now it's real simple.
939
01:18:35,124 --> 01:18:37,502
- They're on us.
- Kaylee.
940
01:18:41,422 --> 01:18:43,841
Come on, come on, come on.
941
01:18:45,593 --> 01:18:46,928
Okay.
942
01:18:47,095 --> 01:18:49,055
Everybody hold on to something.
943
01:18:50,348 --> 01:18:52,392
Here's something you can't do.
944
01:19:01,192 --> 01:19:02,443
Now!
945
01:19:24,882 --> 01:19:27,844
I knew I hired you for something.
946
01:19:28,928 --> 01:19:29,971
Whoo!
947
01:19:34,851 --> 01:19:38,187
Ain't no way they can come around
in time to follow us now.
948
01:19:41,649 --> 01:19:43,568
We're good, people.
949
01:19:44,318 --> 01:19:46,070
We're out of the woods.
950
01:19:47,989 --> 01:19:49,032
Whoo-hoo-hoo!
Yeah!
951
01:19:50,992 --> 01:19:52,994
That's my girl.
952
01:19:53,161 --> 01:19:55,413
That's my good girl.
953
01:19:58,708 --> 01:20:02,003
We should have just enough left in us
to hit a fuel station.
954
01:20:02,170 --> 01:20:04,380
We need to do some patching up.
955
01:20:04,922 --> 01:20:07,759
- I hope we got paid today.
- We did.
956
01:20:08,468 --> 01:20:10,887
Sir, I'd like you
to take the helm, please.
957
01:20:11,054 --> 01:20:14,807
I need this man
to tear all my clothes off.
958
01:20:14,974 --> 01:20:17,268
Work, work, work.
959
01:20:40,166 --> 01:20:43,586
- You should have the doctor look at this.
- It's not so bad.
960
01:20:43,753 --> 01:20:45,713
Well, I'm sure you'll be fine.
961
01:20:45,880 --> 01:20:47,632
I didn't say that.
962
01:20:52,595 --> 01:20:56,182
Is this what life is out here?
963
01:20:57,517 --> 01:20:58,976
Sometimes.
964
01:21:00,269 --> 01:21:03,064
I've been out of the abbey two days.
965
01:21:04,273 --> 01:21:07,235
I've beaten a lawman senseless...
966
01:21:07,402 --> 01:21:09,570
...fallen in with criminals.
967
01:21:10,655 --> 01:21:14,742
I watched the captain shoot the man
I swore to protect.
968
01:21:16,786 --> 01:21:19,872
And I'm not even sure
if I think it was wrong.
969
01:21:20,081 --> 01:21:21,457
Shepherd.
970
01:21:21,708 --> 01:21:23,710
I believe I just...
971
01:21:29,007 --> 01:21:31,426
I think I'm on the wrong ship.
972
01:21:33,302 --> 01:21:34,512
Maybe.
973
01:21:38,558 --> 01:21:41,561
Or maybe you're exactly
where you ought to be.
974
01:22:03,207 --> 01:22:08,338
- The shot I gave you will help you sleep.
- I slept for so long.
975
01:22:08,504 --> 01:22:10,381
Just a little while.
976
01:22:10,548 --> 01:22:12,383
And then we'll find a place.
977
01:22:13,217 --> 01:22:15,178
We'll find a safe place.
978
01:22:26,939 --> 01:22:29,734
I didn't think you'd come for me.
979
01:22:33,821 --> 01:22:35,531
Well, you're a dummy.
980
01:22:45,208 --> 01:22:47,418
The girl's a problem.
981
01:22:48,836 --> 01:22:53,424
The lawman said they'd keep looking for
her. Something about her special brain.
982
01:22:53,591 --> 01:22:56,427
Important to the Alliance brass.
983
01:22:56,594 --> 01:23:00,348
- Sooner we dump them two, the better.
- Suppose so.
984
01:23:01,516 --> 01:23:05,937
Funny how the lawman got out of his
room, you having tied him up and all.
985
01:23:06,104 --> 01:23:08,606
I didn't have nothing to do with that.
986
01:23:08,940 --> 01:23:11,859
Anyhow, it all turned out just fine.
987
01:23:12,026 --> 01:23:14,570
Buzzards are the only
ones gonna find him.
988
01:23:14,821 --> 01:23:17,615
But he did try to make
a deal with you, right?
989
01:23:22,203 --> 01:23:24,872
How come you didn't turn
on me, Jayne?
990
01:23:25,873 --> 01:23:29,377
- Money wasn't good enough.
- What happens when it is?
991
01:23:31,546 --> 01:23:35,633
Well, that'll be an interesting day.
992
01:23:37,635 --> 01:23:39,095
I imagine it will.
993
01:23:52,275 --> 01:23:54,152
You need me to look at that?
994
01:23:55,570 --> 01:23:57,196
Just a graze.
995
01:24:03,411 --> 01:24:05,830
So where do you plan on dumping us?
996
01:24:06,205 --> 01:24:08,333
Best place as you might be safe.
997
01:24:08,499 --> 01:24:11,627
The truth, though,
you're probably safer on the move.
998
01:24:11,836 --> 01:24:13,838
And we never stop moving.
999
01:24:14,881 --> 01:24:16,466
I'm confused.
1000
01:24:17,717 --> 01:24:20,762
No, wait, I think maybe
you're confused.
1001
01:24:22,180 --> 01:24:25,725
It may be apparent to you
that the ship could use a medic.
1002
01:24:25,892 --> 01:24:27,685
You ain't weak.
1003
01:24:27,852 --> 01:24:30,438
Don't know how bright you are,
top three percent...
1004
01:24:30,605 --> 01:24:33,274
...but you ain't weak
and that's not nothing.
1005
01:24:33,441 --> 01:24:37,737
You live by my rule, you keep your sister
from doing anything crazy...
1006
01:24:37,904 --> 01:24:40,156
...you could maybe find a place here.
1007
01:24:40,323 --> 01:24:42,742
Until you find a better.
1008
01:24:45,870 --> 01:24:49,999
I'm trying to put this
as delicately as I can.
1009
01:24:51,084 --> 01:24:54,962
How do I know you
won't kill me in my sleep?
1010
01:24:56,172 --> 01:24:59,801
You don't know me, son,
so let me explain this to you once.
1011
01:25:00,343 --> 01:25:02,845
If I ever kill you, you'll be awake.
1012
01:25:03,012 --> 01:25:05,598
You'll be facing me
and you'll be armed.
1013
01:25:07,475 --> 01:25:10,520
Are you always this sentimental?
1014
01:25:10,937 --> 01:25:13,147
Had a good day.
1015
01:25:13,815 --> 01:25:16,234
You had the Alliance on you...
1016
01:25:16,401 --> 01:25:18,903
...criminals and savages...
1017
01:25:19,070 --> 01:25:23,825
...half the people on this ship have been
shot or wounded, including yourself...
1018
01:25:24,117 --> 01:25:26,327
...and you're harboring
known fugitives.
1019
01:25:26,494 --> 01:25:28,204
We're still flying.
1020
01:25:28,996 --> 01:25:31,124
That's not much.
1021
01:25:31,290 --> 01:25:33,209
That's enough.
