1
00:00:32,917 --> 00:00:35,122
Your move.
2
00:00:41,448 --> 00:00:44,528
- That's a bold move.
- I live on the edge.
3
00:00:51,895 --> 00:00:54,517
Nice work, dumb-ass.
4
00:00:54,683 --> 00:00:56,764
I've given thought
to moving off the edge.
5
00:00:56,930 --> 00:00:58,803
Not an ideal location.
6
00:00:58,970 --> 00:01:01,134
- Make it a place in the middle.
A toast!
7
00:01:01,300 --> 00:01:03,007
Toast!
8
00:01:03,506 --> 00:01:05,129
Quiet!
9
00:01:05,295 --> 00:01:07,626
Shut up!
10
00:01:08,875 --> 00:01:12,371
I'm- I got words.
11
00:01:12,621 --> 00:01:17,365
I'm saying, this is an auspicious day.
12
00:01:17,531 --> 00:01:20,527
We all know what day it is.
13
00:01:20,694 --> 00:01:23,358
Suspicious. What day is it?
14
00:01:23,524 --> 00:01:27,603
A glorious day for all the proud members
of the allied planets.
15
00:01:27,853 --> 00:01:29,434
Unification Day!
16
00:01:29,601 --> 00:01:30,974
Yeah.
Yeah.
17
00:01:31,182 --> 00:01:36,468
The end of the scumbag Independents
and the dawn of a new galaxy.
18
00:01:36,634 --> 00:01:38,049
Yeah!
19
00:01:38,216 --> 00:01:40,089
Captain.
20
00:01:40,921 --> 00:01:43,750
Just feel the need for another drink.
21
00:01:44,958 --> 00:01:46,622
What month is it?
22
00:01:52,907 --> 00:01:55,986
Hey, you gonna drink
to the Alliance with me?
23
00:01:56,777 --> 00:02:01,813
Six years today, the Alliance
sent the browncoats running...
24
00:02:01,979 --> 00:02:04,351
...pissing their pants.
25
00:02:06,516 --> 00:02:10,636
You know, your coat is kind
of a brownish color.
26
00:02:11,010 --> 00:02:13,175
It was on sale.
27
00:02:13,799 --> 00:02:15,048
You didn't toast.
28
00:02:15,797 --> 00:02:18,918
You know, I'm thinking
you're one of them Independents.
29
00:02:20,749 --> 00:02:24,078
I'm thinking you weren't burdened
with an overabundance of schooling.
30
00:02:24,245 --> 00:02:26,784
Why don't we just ignore
each other till we go away?
31
00:02:27,324 --> 00:02:31,944
The Independents were a bunch
of cowardly, inbred piss pots.
32
00:02:32,153 --> 00:02:35,690
Should've been killed off
of every world spinning.
33
00:02:36,356 --> 00:02:38,187
Share that to my face.
34
00:02:42,598 --> 00:02:47,468
I said, you're a coward
and a piss pot.
35
00:02:48,509 --> 00:02:51,630
- Now, what are you gonna do about it?
- Nothing.
36
00:02:51,796 --> 00:02:54,293
I wanted you to face me
so she could get behind you.
37
00:02:57,331 --> 00:02:59,329
Drugs are so cute.
38
00:03:06,612 --> 00:03:10,024
Jayne.
- Hey, I didn't fight no war.
39
00:03:10,191 --> 00:03:11,731
Best of luck, though.
40
00:03:13,437 --> 00:03:15,227
Fine.
41
00:03:15,393 --> 00:03:17,141
Let's do this.
42
00:03:23,509 --> 00:03:26,339
Wash, we got some
local color happening.
43
00:03:26,505 --> 00:03:29,211
A grand entrance would not go amiss.
44
00:03:41,572 --> 00:03:43,694
Is Jayne even awake?
45
00:04:00,965 --> 00:04:02,505
Whoa, whoa, whoa...
46
00:04:02,713 --> 00:04:05,252
Ha, ha! Ha, ho, ho, ho.
47
00:04:05,460 --> 00:04:07,874
There's just an acre of you fellows,
isn't there?
48
00:04:08,082 --> 00:04:10,704
This is why we lost, you know.
Superior numbers.
49
00:04:10,870 --> 00:04:12,868
Thanks for the reenactment, sir.
50
00:04:13,035 --> 00:04:15,490
Hey, hey, them ain't kosherized rules.
51
00:04:15,657 --> 00:04:19,402
I'm thinking somebody needs
to put you down, dog.
52
00:04:19,568 --> 00:04:20,817
What do you think?
53
00:04:21,316 --> 00:04:23,980
I'm thinking we'll rise again.
54
00:04:31,014 --> 00:04:37,173
Every man there, go back inside or we
will blow a new crater in this little moon.
55
00:04:50,241 --> 00:04:54,320
Damn yokels can't even tell a
transport ship ain't got no guns on it.
56
00:04:54,986 --> 00:04:58,190
"Blow a new crater in this moon. "
57
00:05:00,105 --> 00:05:02,019
My thanks, Wash.
58
00:05:02,185 --> 00:05:05,307
- Nice save, as always.
- A pleasure.
59
00:05:05,474 --> 00:05:08,720
- And how are our passengers?
- They're fine.
60
00:05:08,886 --> 00:05:12,007
So, what happened?
Was there a terrible brawl?
61
00:05:12,423 --> 00:05:15,378
- There was.
- Are you getting my wife into trouble?
62
00:05:15,545 --> 00:05:19,332
What-? I didn't start it.
Just wanted a quiet drink.
63
00:05:19,498 --> 00:05:22,661
Funny how you always find yourself
in an Alliance-friendly bar...
64
00:05:22,828 --> 00:05:25,200
...come U-day, looking for a quiet drink.
65
00:05:25,366 --> 00:05:29,154
This is another sign of your tragic space
dementia, all paranoid and crotchety.
66
00:05:29,321 --> 00:05:30,860
Breaks a heart.
67
00:05:31,027 --> 00:05:32,899
Did we at least make a contact?
68
00:05:33,066 --> 00:05:35,938
Ladies and menfolk,
we have ourselves a job.
69
00:05:37,186 --> 00:05:39,517
Take us out of the world, Wash.
70
00:05:40,266 --> 00:05:42,763
We got us some crime to be done.
71
00:07:04,625 --> 00:07:06,582
River.
72
00:07:06,832 --> 00:07:08,912
River, it's okay.
73
00:07:09,537 --> 00:07:11,160
It's me.
74
00:07:13,532 --> 00:07:15,072
You know who I am?
75
00:07:17,111 --> 00:07:18,818
Simon.
76
00:07:19,817 --> 00:07:21,356
Were you dreaming?
77
00:07:23,853 --> 00:07:27,682
- Did you dream about the Academy?
- It's not relevant.
78
00:07:30,845 --> 00:07:33,841
If you can talk about
what happened there-
79
00:07:34,008 --> 00:07:37,796
I know it's hard, but the more I know,
the faster you'll get better.
80
00:07:38,752 --> 00:07:40,750
This isn't home.
81
00:07:42,498 --> 00:07:44,288
No.
82
00:07:45,287 --> 00:07:47,867
No, we can't go home.
83
00:07:48,158 --> 00:07:52,029
If we go home, they'll just
send you back to the Academy.
84
00:07:52,195 --> 00:07:53,985
This is safer now.
85
00:07:58,937 --> 00:08:01,268
We're on a ship.
86
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,303
Mid-bulk transport.
87
00:08:06,470 --> 00:08:12,296
Standard radian accelerator core,
class code 03-K64.
88
00:08:12,463 --> 00:08:15,043
- Firefly.
- Well, that's something.
89
00:08:15,917 --> 00:08:18,623
I can't even remember all that.
90
00:08:20,995 --> 00:08:23,242
You need a weave on that?
- It's nothing.
91
00:08:23,408 --> 00:08:25,822
I expect there's someone's face
feels differently.
92
00:08:25,989 --> 00:08:29,027
They tell you, never hit a man
with a closed fist...
93
00:08:29,194 --> 00:08:32,065
...but it is, on occasion, hilarious.
94
00:08:32,232 --> 00:08:33,896
I suppose so.
95
00:08:34,313 --> 00:08:39,973
So the fight didn't draw any attention?
96
00:08:40,139 --> 00:08:42,803
No Feds.
Just an honest brawl between folk.
97
00:08:42,969 --> 00:08:45,966
None of us want the Alliance on us,
doctor. That's why you're here.
98
00:08:46,174 --> 00:08:48,629
I thought I was here
because you needed a medic.
99
00:08:48,838 --> 00:08:50,211
Well, not today.
100
00:08:55,787 --> 00:08:57,702
Mal.
101
00:08:58,951 --> 00:09:00,782
"Bad"...
102
00:09:03,404 --> 00:09:05,484
...in the Latin.
103
00:09:06,692 --> 00:09:09,646
- Shepherd Book.
- Captain.
104
00:09:10,229 --> 00:09:11,394
How's the girl?
105
00:09:11,561 --> 00:09:15,223
Still a little whimsical in the brain pan.
Seems calm enough, though.
106
00:09:18,053 --> 00:09:21,590
- That young man's very brave.
- Yeah.
107
00:09:21,757 --> 00:09:23,380
He's my hero.
108
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,834
He gave up everything to free
his sister from that place.
109
00:09:27,001 --> 00:09:29,415
Go from being a doctor
on the central planets...
110
00:09:29,581 --> 00:09:31,745
...to hiding on the fringes
of the system.
111
00:09:32,453 --> 00:09:35,783
- There's not many would do that.
- I suppose not.
112
00:09:35,949 --> 00:09:38,612
There's not many
would take him in, either.
113
00:09:39,778 --> 00:09:40,943
Why did you?
114
00:09:41,109 --> 00:09:44,980
Same reason I took you onboard,
Shepherd. I need the fare.
115
00:09:45,147 --> 00:09:48,850
Neither of us can pay a tenth of what
your crew makes on one of your jobs.
116
00:09:49,017 --> 00:09:51,930
Are you referring to our legitimate
business enterprises?
117
00:09:52,097 --> 00:09:54,636
I'm wondering why a man so anxious...
118
00:09:54,801 --> 00:09:58,631
...to fly under Alliance radar
would house known fugitives.
119
00:09:58,797 --> 00:10:02,252
The Alliance had her in that institution
for a purpose, whatever it was.
120
00:10:02,418 --> 00:10:03,916
And they will want her back.
121
00:10:04,083 --> 00:10:06,871
You're not overly fond of the boy.
So why risk it?
122
00:10:07,037 --> 00:10:08,869
Because it's the right thing to do.
123
00:10:09,784 --> 00:10:12,573
Oh, would you look at this.
124
00:10:13,447 --> 00:10:14,778
Kaylee!
125
00:10:15,195 --> 00:10:17,525
I'm wondering if you know
why you're doing it.
126
00:10:17,692 --> 00:10:20,855
What about you? How come
you're flying about with us brigands?
127
00:10:21,021 --> 00:10:25,724
Shouldn't you be off bringing religiosity
to the fuzzy-wuzzies or some such?
128
00:10:25,890 --> 00:10:28,804
Oh, I got heathens aplenty right here.
129
00:10:29,803 --> 00:10:32,549
If I'm your mission, Shepherd,
best give it up.
130
00:10:32,716 --> 00:10:35,046
You're welcome on my boat.
131
00:10:35,338 --> 00:10:37,544
God ain't.
132
00:10:38,376 --> 00:10:40,373
Where the hell's that girl?
133
00:10:50,071 --> 00:10:54,107
- Do you want me to put it up?
- No, that's okay.
134
00:10:54,274 --> 00:10:56,771
You have such lovely hair.
135
00:10:56,938 --> 00:10:58,519
I'm sure the doctor would agree.
136
00:10:59,518 --> 00:11:01,141
Who, Simon?
137
00:11:01,308 --> 00:11:03,805
He's much too-
I mean, I'm just-
138
00:11:03,971 --> 00:11:07,426
- Do you think it looks better up?
- We could experiment.
139
00:11:07,633 --> 00:11:11,212
We might even get wild later
and wash your face.
140
00:11:12,461 --> 00:11:14,625
You ever do this for your clients?
141
00:11:14,792 --> 00:11:18,538
Very occasionally. Not all of them
have enough hair to get a brush through.
142
00:11:19,827 --> 00:11:24,696
Have you ever had to service a really
hideous client? With boils and the like?
143
00:11:24,863 --> 00:11:29,275
A companion chooses her own clients.
That's Guild law.
144
00:11:29,441 --> 00:11:32,646
But physical appearance
doesn't matter so terribly.
145
00:11:32,812 --> 00:11:35,143
You look for compatibility of spirit.
146
00:11:35,309 --> 00:11:39,221
There's an energy about a person that's
difficult to hide. You try to feel that-
147
00:11:39,388 --> 00:11:42,093
Then you try to feel
the energy of their credit account.
148
00:11:42,260 --> 00:11:44,258
It has a sort of aura.
149
00:11:44,423 --> 00:11:46,505
What did I say to you
about barging in?
150
00:11:46,671 --> 00:11:50,292
- That it was manly and impulsive?
- Yes, precisely.
151
00:11:50,458 --> 00:11:52,623
Only the exact phrase
I used was, "Don't. "
152
00:11:52,789 --> 00:11:55,120
You're holding my
mechanic enthralled.
153
00:11:55,286 --> 00:11:57,283
Kaylee, what's going on
in the engine room?
154
00:11:57,450 --> 00:12:00,779
Were there monkeys? Some terrifying
space monkeys maybe got loose?
155
00:12:00,946 --> 00:12:05,191
I rewired the graph thrust. Somebody
won't replace that compression coil.
156
00:12:05,358 --> 00:12:07,896
Get the place squared away.
It's dangerous in there.
157
00:12:08,063 --> 00:12:11,101
And I ain't paying you
to get your hair played at.
158
00:12:13,057 --> 00:12:15,387
We work before we play.
159
00:12:19,092 --> 00:12:23,045
- You're servicing crew now?
- In your lonely, pathetic dreams.
160
00:12:23,877 --> 00:12:25,750
What do you want?
161
00:12:27,165 --> 00:12:29,787
- May have a job.
- Congratulations.
162
00:12:29,954 --> 00:12:34,490
On a decently civilized planet where
I could screen some respectable clients?
163
00:12:34,657 --> 00:12:37,196
Respectable clients,
that seems a contradiction.
164
00:12:37,362 --> 00:12:39,151
Don't start.
165
00:12:42,273 --> 00:12:44,353
There's...
166
00:12:45,644 --> 00:12:47,309
We haven't got a location yet.
167
00:12:48,058 --> 00:12:52,261
We'll be landing on a skyplex in a bit,
run by a fellow called Niska.
168
00:12:52,428 --> 00:12:54,716
- Never heard of him.
- Well, I have.
169
00:12:54,883 --> 00:12:57,505
While we're there,
you'll stay confined to the ship.
170
00:12:57,672 --> 00:13:01,084
Is the petty criminal ashamed
to be riding with a companion?
171
00:13:02,083 --> 00:13:05,953
This guy has a very unlovely rep.
He's got work for me, fine.
172
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:07,785
But I don't-
173
00:13:08,118 --> 00:13:10,198
I'm not sure you'd be safe.
174
00:13:10,365 --> 00:13:13,569
Mal, if you're being a gentleman,
I may die of shock.
175
00:13:18,688 --> 00:13:21,519
- Have you got time to do my hair?
- Out.
176
00:13:42,411 --> 00:13:45,491
Is fine. Crow, they can come in.
177
00:13:50,568 --> 00:13:54,980
- And Malcolm Reynolds is which?
- I'm Capt. Reynolds.
178
00:13:55,146 --> 00:13:59,183
- My first mate Zoe. This is Jayne.
- Very nice.
179
00:13:59,350 --> 00:14:01,388
I am Adelai Niska.
180
00:14:01,555 --> 00:14:06,674
You have seen Crow. He loves
to stand at the door to say, "Boo. "
181
00:14:07,340 --> 00:14:09,213
We got word you might
have a job for us.
182
00:14:09,379 --> 00:14:10,545
Yes.
183
00:14:10,711 --> 00:14:13,666
Yes, an exciting job.
184
00:14:13,833 --> 00:14:18,618
A train has something I need.
185
00:14:18,785 --> 00:14:22,988
- You have worked a train before?
- We did a few.
186
00:14:23,155 --> 00:14:26,609
Are you going to ask me
what it is I need?
187
00:14:26,776 --> 00:14:28,482
As a rule, no.
188
00:14:28,649 --> 00:14:31,937
Yes, good. You have reputation.
189
00:14:32,102 --> 00:14:34,683
"Malcolm Reynolds gets it done,"
is the talk.
190
00:14:34,849 --> 00:14:36,348
Well, glad to hear that.
191
00:14:36,514 --> 00:14:39,511
You know what is reputation?
192
00:14:40,177 --> 00:14:44,962
Is people talking, is gossip.
193
00:14:45,878 --> 00:14:51,622
I also have reputation not so pleasant,
I think you know. Crow.
194
00:14:59,405 --> 00:15:03,940
Now, for you, my reputation
is not from gossip.
195
00:15:04,107 --> 00:15:08,477
You see this man?
He does not do the job.
196
00:15:08,644 --> 00:15:14,803
I show you what I do with him
and now my reputation for you is fact.
197
00:15:14,969 --> 00:15:17,716
Is solid.
198
00:15:20,296 --> 00:15:23,959
You do the train job for me...
199
00:15:24,167 --> 00:15:27,787
...then you are solid.
200
00:15:27,954 --> 00:15:30,451
No more gossip.
201
00:15:30,618 --> 00:15:31,658
Right.
202
00:15:32,282 --> 00:15:35,987
Oh, you do not like I kill this man.
203
00:15:36,153 --> 00:15:39,691
Oh, no, I'm sure
he was a very bad person.
204
00:15:40,398 --> 00:15:44,768
My wife's nephew.
At dinner, I'm getting earful.
205
00:15:44,934 --> 00:15:47,681
There is no way out of that.
206
00:15:47,848 --> 00:15:52,717
So- Oh, the train job.
Come in.
207
00:15:54,174 --> 00:15:58,419
Here, in fifth car, two boxes.
Alliance goods.
208
00:15:58,585 --> 00:16:03,829
You don't mind the taking from Alliance,
I think, from your reputation.
209
00:16:07,241 --> 00:16:11,321
You get on train at Hancock
headed for Paradiso.
210
00:16:11,486 --> 00:16:16,148
You take boxes off before you reach
Paradiso and deliver to Crow...
211
00:16:16,855 --> 00:16:18,437
...here.
212
00:16:18,645 --> 00:16:22,640
Half money now, Crow give you
other half at rendezvous point.
213
00:16:24,014 --> 00:16:28,259
Anything goes wrong,
then your reputation only gossip...
214
00:16:29,175 --> 00:16:33,710
...and things between us not so solid.
215
00:16:33,877 --> 00:16:35,500
Yes?
216
00:16:53,687 --> 00:16:55,852
- How long till we hit Paradiso?
-20 minutes.
217
00:16:56,018 --> 00:16:58,307
We should be in the foothills in five.
218
00:16:58,473 --> 00:17:00,596
Let's get to work.
219
00:17:02,094 --> 00:17:04,674
He's a psycho, you know. Niska.
220
00:17:04,841 --> 00:17:08,420
He's not the first psycho to hire us,
nor the last.
221
00:17:08,587 --> 00:17:10,377
You think that's a commentary on us?
222
00:17:10,542 --> 00:17:13,164
I have an image of a guy
hanging from the ceiling.
223
00:17:13,331 --> 00:17:16,744
I got an image of it not being me.
Let's do the thing.
224
00:17:29,854 --> 00:17:31,435
Hi.
225
00:17:41,965 --> 00:17:43,671
Shepherd.
226
00:17:44,462 --> 00:17:46,251
Good day.
227
00:17:49,789 --> 00:17:51,744
So...
228
00:17:52,036 --> 00:17:55,490
- ... how do you think it's going?
- The caper?
229
00:17:56,863 --> 00:17:58,237
Mal knows what he's doing.
230
00:17:59,402 --> 00:18:01,067
How long have you known him?
231
00:18:02,191 --> 00:18:04,354
I've been on the ship
eight months now.
232
00:18:04,521 --> 00:18:07,226
I'm not certain I'll ever actually
know the captain.
233
00:18:09,932 --> 00:18:13,761
I'm surprised a respectable companion
would sa with this crew.
234
00:18:14,427 --> 00:18:16,340
It's not always this sort of work.
235
00:18:16,507 --> 00:18:19,504
They take the jobs they can get,
even legitimate ones.
236
00:18:19,671 --> 00:18:22,625
The further from the central planets,
the harder things are.
237
00:18:22,792 --> 00:18:24,165
This is part of it.
238
00:18:24,997 --> 00:18:27,328
I wish I could help.
239
00:18:28,910 --> 00:18:31,906
I mean, I don't want to help-
240
00:18:32,072 --> 00:18:35,277
Not "help" help.
Not with the thieving, but...
241
00:18:36,442 --> 00:18:38,856
I do feel awfully useless.
242
00:18:39,563 --> 00:18:43,184
You could always pray
they make it back safely.
243
00:18:43,351 --> 00:18:46,265
I don't think the captain would
much like me praying for him.
244
00:18:47,179 --> 00:18:49,219
Don't tell him.
245
00:18:51,591 --> 00:18:53,381
I never do.
246
00:19:05,408 --> 00:19:07,573
Go on. Straight through.
247
00:19:09,029 --> 00:19:10,402
Keep moving.
248
00:19:19,891 --> 00:19:22,888
Sir, is there some information
we might maybe be lacking...
249
00:19:23,055 --> 00:19:26,051
...as to why there's an entire
Fed squad sitting on this train?
250
00:19:26,218 --> 00:19:28,965
- It doesn't concern us.
- It kind of concerns me.
251
00:19:29,130 --> 00:19:33,168
They're not protecting the goods. If they
were, they wouldn't let people past.
252
00:19:33,335 --> 00:19:36,788
- Think that changes the situation a bit?
- I surely do.
253
00:19:36,955 --> 00:19:38,869
It makes it more fun.
254
00:19:39,036 --> 00:19:42,324
Sir, I think you have a problem
with your brain being missing.
255
00:19:42,490 --> 00:19:43,655
Come on.
256
00:19:43,822 --> 00:19:46,277
We stick to the plan.
We get the goods.
257
00:19:46,444 --> 00:19:48,982
We're on Serenity before the train
reaches Paradiso.
258
00:19:49,149 --> 00:19:52,728
Only now we do it under the noses
of 20 trained Alliance Feds.
259
00:19:52,853 --> 00:19:55,184
And that makes them look
all manner of stupid.
260
00:19:55,392 --> 00:19:57,265
This job I would pull for free.
261
00:19:57,431 --> 00:19:58,846
- Can I have your share?
- No.
262
00:19:59,013 --> 00:20:01,427
- If you die, can I have your share?
- Yes.
263
00:20:13,288 --> 00:20:14,661
Hey.
264
00:20:14,827 --> 00:20:17,616
Oh, hey, doctor.
265
00:20:17,783 --> 00:20:20,113
You really should just call me Simon.
266
00:20:20,737 --> 00:20:23,359
Oh, I'll do that then.
267
00:20:24,233 --> 00:20:25,315
So...
268
00:20:26,314 --> 00:20:29,269
- ... what are we doing?
- Oh, crime.
269
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:31,017
Crime?
270
00:20:31,183 --> 00:20:33,015
Good.
271
00:20:33,181 --> 00:20:37,093
- Okay, crime.
- It's a train heist.
272
00:20:37,260 --> 00:20:40,714
You see, we fly over the train car,
the captain and Zoe sneak in...
273
00:20:40,881 --> 00:20:44,501
...we lower Jayne onto the car,
and they bundle up the booty...
274
00:20:44,667 --> 00:20:47,289
...and we haul them all back up.
Easy as lying.
275
00:20:48,663 --> 00:20:51,784
- They've done this before?
- Hell, no.
276
00:20:51,951 --> 00:20:57,236
But I think it's gonna work. The captain
gengish when it comes to plans.
277
00:20:58,568 --> 00:21:01,897
Is there anything I can-?
Something I should be doing?
278
00:21:02,189 --> 00:21:04,228
Staying the hell out of everyone's way.
279
00:21:04,394 --> 00:21:05,435
No call to be snappy.
280
00:21:05,602 --> 00:21:08,389
Are you about to jump
onto a moving train?
281
00:21:08,556 --> 00:21:11,095
- The captain ain't around. I'm in charge.
- Since when?
282
00:21:11,261 --> 00:21:14,632
Just because Mal says you're medic,
don't make you part of the crew.
283
00:21:14,799 --> 00:21:18,836
Just play at figuring what's wrong with
that sister of yours till we call for you.
284
00:21:23,039 --> 00:21:24,662
Right.
285
00:21:31,072 --> 00:21:33,153
You shouldn't be so rude to him.
286
00:21:33,319 --> 00:21:35,899
- Because he's all rich and fancible?
- He's not rich.
287
00:21:36,066 --> 00:21:39,146
The Alliance crashed his accounts
when he snuck out his sister.
288
00:21:39,353 --> 00:21:43,099
Yeah, we could all be rich
if we handed her back.
289
00:21:44,347 --> 00:21:48,302
- You're not even thinking that.
- Mal is.
290
00:21:48,468 --> 00:21:50,924
- That's not funny.
- He ain't stupid.
291
00:21:51,090 --> 00:21:54,794
Why would he take on trouble like those
two if there weren't no profit in it?
292
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,707
Captain's got a move
he ain't made yet. You'll see.
293
00:22:00,288 --> 00:22:02,701
Time for some thrilling heroics.
294
00:22:04,116 --> 00:22:06,322
Niska's sources better be good.
295
00:22:09,360 --> 00:22:10,941
Shining.
296
00:22:49,189 --> 00:22:50,812
Find the cargo.
297
00:23:01,300 --> 00:23:03,755
All hail the great Alliance.
298
00:23:27,144 --> 00:23:28,518
Aha!
299
00:23:55,154 --> 00:23:56,943
Fifteen seconds.
300
00:24:12,259 --> 00:24:14,797
- Go!
- Go. Go now!
301
00:24:26,991 --> 00:24:28,780
Come on.
302
00:24:54,500 --> 00:24:57,913
- Where are the others?
- They shot my gorram leg.
303
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,035
Are they still on the train?
Are they gonna be okay?
304
00:25:01,201 --> 00:25:03,365
Everybody off!
305
00:25:04,822 --> 00:25:06,903
Come on, everybody off!
306
00:25:23,466 --> 00:25:25,714
Our man didn't get a look.
307
00:25:25,923 --> 00:25:28,627
Well, jeez, can someone
find out what they took?
308
00:25:30,583 --> 00:25:34,163
Keep those people together.
Quiet them down.
309
00:25:34,329 --> 00:25:36,036
It's medicine, sir.
310
00:25:36,202 --> 00:25:37,409
All of the supplies.
311
00:25:38,033 --> 00:25:41,779
They stole the gorram medicine?
We been waiting...
312
00:25:41,945 --> 00:25:45,441
- All of it?
- Every ounce.
313
00:25:48,771 --> 00:25:50,809
God help us.
314
00:25:52,433 --> 00:25:54,847
Son of a bitch.
315
00:26:07,124 --> 00:26:10,371
- What's the fuss?
- All network alert. Cargo theft.
316
00:26:10,536 --> 00:26:14,116
Medical shipment lifted off a train
en route to Paradiso.
317
00:26:14,282 --> 00:26:19,776
Six crates of Pescaline D. That will get
you a tidy fortune on the black market.
318
00:26:19,942 --> 00:26:22,647
Tag it received. Bounce it back.
Locals can deal with it.
319
00:26:22,814 --> 00:26:25,478
Sir, there is a regiment holding
in Paradiso.
320
00:26:25,644 --> 00:26:27,600
They were headed to the installation.
321
00:26:27,766 --> 00:26:30,638
Then get them back on the train.
Who's holding them there?
322
00:26:30,805 --> 00:26:33,135
The sheriff requested we deploy
if you'd help-
323
00:26:33,302 --> 00:26:36,423
These are federal marshals,
not local narcotic hounds.
324
00:26:36,590 --> 00:26:38,713
They've got better things to do.
325
00:26:38,878 --> 00:26:40,918
So do we.
326
00:26:42,749 --> 00:26:44,622
Gorram it, let's get us moving.
327
00:26:45,496 --> 00:26:46,619
Now, I'm not finished.
328
00:26:46,786 --> 00:26:49,907
- This ain't the rendezvous spot.
- It is now.
329
00:26:50,074 --> 00:26:53,403
- Niska's people are not partial to walting.
- Let them read a magazine.
330
00:26:53,570 --> 00:26:56,108
We don't make the sale
until Mal and Zoe are back.
331
00:26:56,275 --> 00:26:58,315
These are stone killers.
They ain't cuddly.
332
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,520
I'm not flying anywhere
without my wife.
333
00:27:00,687 --> 00:27:02,809
She'll be okay.
She's with the captain.
334
00:27:02,975 --> 00:27:04,932
There, you see. Everybody wins.
335
00:27:06,513 --> 00:27:09,842
Doc, I need a pop
to quiet this pain some.
336
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,297
All right, but what about the authorities?
337
00:27:13,463 --> 00:27:16,793
We're sitting here with stolen Alliance
goods. Won't they look for us?
338
00:27:16,959 --> 00:27:19,830
They buzz this canyon,
we'll hear them before they see us.
339
00:27:19,997 --> 00:27:23,451
- We're good-
River: They'll never stop.
340
00:27:24,784 --> 00:27:28,654
They'll just keep coming
until they get back what you took.
341
00:27:30,069 --> 00:27:32,358
Two by two...
342
00:27:32,982 --> 00:27:35,312
...hands of blue.
343
00:27:35,771 --> 00:27:37,644
Two by two...
344
00:27:39,183 --> 00:27:40,848
...hands of blue.
345
00:27:41,015 --> 00:27:44,801
How about you shut that crazy mouth?
Is that a fun game?
346
00:27:44,968 --> 00:27:47,049
I'm in charge.
I'm telling you how it works.
347
00:27:47,215 --> 00:27:50,254
We don't get the goods to Niska,
he'll make meat pies out of us.
348
00:27:50,587 --> 00:27:52,293
I ain't walking into that.
349
00:27:52,459 --> 00:27:55,955
Is this Adelai Niska
you're talking about?
350
00:27:56,413 --> 00:27:58,785
Now, how would a shepherd
know a name like that?
351
00:27:58,952 --> 00:28:02,614
As I've heard it,
he made a deal with the captain.
352
00:28:02,780 --> 00:28:06,610
If the captain's not there to finish it,
if Niska finds out he's being held...
353
00:28:06,776 --> 00:28:09,606
...and may speak as to who hired him...
354
00:28:10,272 --> 00:28:13,602
...I think we're better off
being a little late.
355
00:28:19,636 --> 00:28:23,091
This is a nightmare.
- Nothing points to us yet, sir.
356
00:28:23,256 --> 00:28:25,004
That ain't what I'm talking about.
357
00:28:32,288 --> 00:28:34,702
Whatever happens,
remember I love you.
358
00:28:34,868 --> 00:28:36,616
Sir?
359
00:28:36,783 --> 00:28:40,570
- Because you're my wife.
- Right, sir.
360
00:28:40,736 --> 00:28:42,443
Honey.
361
00:28:42,900 --> 00:28:46,271
Car three, row twelve.
Mr. and Mrs. Raymond?
362
00:28:46,438 --> 00:28:49,351
Can you tell us what's going on?
We've been here for so long.
363
00:28:49,518 --> 00:28:54,262
- Did someone on the train get killed?
- No, no, no, nothing like that.
364
00:28:54,886 --> 00:28:58,840
Says there your fare's
paid for by a third party?
365
00:28:59,007 --> 00:29:01,836
My uncle. It was a wedding gift.
366
00:29:02,003 --> 00:29:03,834
Wedding gift.
367
00:29:08,454 --> 00:29:12,616
- Spending your honeymoon in Paradiso?
- Actually, we're here looking for work.
368
00:29:12,990 --> 00:29:14,114
That right?
369
00:29:14,281 --> 00:29:16,694
My uncle said he knew
a Joey Bloggs out here.
370
00:29:16,861 --> 00:29:19,815
Said he might have an opening.
Thought we'd try our luck.
371
00:29:20,274 --> 00:29:22,687
You a miner by trade? Either of you?
372
00:29:23,436 --> 00:29:25,351
Not really.
373
00:29:26,100 --> 00:29:29,054
Haven't seen many folk choose
this life weren't born to it.
374
00:29:29,346 --> 00:29:32,759
Well, work is real scarce
for a couple just starting out.
375
00:29:32,925 --> 00:29:35,839
How come there's so many sick here?
376
00:29:37,004 --> 00:29:39,002
Bowden's Malady.
377
00:29:39,168 --> 00:29:42,788
- You know what that is?
- An affliction of the bone and muscle.
378
00:29:42,955 --> 00:29:45,660
- Degenerative.
- Very.
379
00:29:46,618 --> 00:29:51,445
Every planet that's been terraformed
for human life has its own little quirks.
380
00:29:51,987 --> 00:29:58,395
Turns out the air down underground
mixed up with the ore processors...
381
00:29:58,604 --> 00:30:00,767
...perfect recipe for Bowden's.
382
00:30:01,476 --> 00:30:03,140
Everybody gets it.
383
00:30:03,306 --> 00:30:05,096
Miners, dumpers.
384
00:30:05,262 --> 00:30:07,926
Hell, I got it, and I ain't
ever set foot in a mine.
385
00:30:08,384 --> 00:30:13,087
- But it's treatable.
- There's medicine.
386
00:30:13,253 --> 00:30:14,918
Pescaline.
387
00:30:15,085 --> 00:30:17,582
You can live like a person
if you get it regular...
388
00:30:17,748 --> 00:30:22,701
...but our shipment got stole
right off the train you was riding in.
389
00:30:22,867 --> 00:30:25,822
Which is why you won't be seeing
a parade in town today.
390
00:30:26,238 --> 00:30:28,194
Stolen?
391
00:30:28,485 --> 00:30:33,771
Didn't I see an entire regiment of fine,
young Alliance Federals on the train?
392
00:30:33,938 --> 00:30:34,977
You did.
393
00:30:35,144 --> 00:30:39,264
Same regiment let their medicine
get swiped from under their noses...
394
00:30:39,431 --> 00:30:43,177
...then took off for their own camp
without so much as a whoopsy daisy.
395
00:30:43,343 --> 00:30:45,091
That sounds like the Alliance.
396
00:30:45,257 --> 00:30:49,752
Unite all the planets so that everybody
can be interfered with or ignored equally.
397
00:30:51,208 --> 00:30:54,372
Alliance ain't much use to us
out here on the border planets.
398
00:30:55,371 --> 00:30:56,827
But...
399
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,198
...they didn't steal the medicine.
400
00:31:01,031 --> 00:31:04,527
I ever find those people, they ain't
ever gonna see the inside of a jail.
401
00:31:04,693 --> 00:31:07,606
I'm just gonna toss them in a mine...
402
00:31:07,773 --> 00:31:11,060
...and let them breathe deep
for the rest of their lives.
403
00:31:11,227 --> 00:31:12,892
Can't argue with that.
404
00:31:16,014 --> 00:31:22,256
You mind telling me when it was
you last spoke to Joey Bloggs?
405
00:31:22,506 --> 00:31:26,168
- Never did myself.
- Right. Your uncle.
406
00:31:26,626 --> 00:31:30,538
And it was indicated to you
that Joey had an opening?
407
00:31:30,787 --> 00:31:32,910
Any job would do.
408
00:31:34,075 --> 00:31:37,239
It's funny your uncle never mentioned
the Bowden's problem...
409
00:31:38,196 --> 00:31:42,108
...or that Joey Bloggs ate his own
gun about eight months back.
410
00:31:42,732 --> 00:31:44,147
Did he?
411
00:31:44,313 --> 00:31:45,979
Yep.
412
00:31:46,144 --> 00:31:48,933
Blew the back of his head right off.
413
00:31:51,138 --> 00:31:53,095
So...
414
00:31:53,303 --> 00:31:55,550
...would his job be open?
415
00:31:55,883 --> 00:31:58,672
We waited long enough.
Let's get this bird in the air.
416
00:31:58,838 --> 00:32:00,586
- No way.
- You really should sit down.
417
00:32:00,752 --> 00:32:02,500
We can't leave the captain and Zoe.
418
00:32:02,667 --> 00:32:05,705
They ain't coming. We can't get them.
They're done. Fire it up.
419
00:32:05,871 --> 00:32:07,536
- What's going on?
- We're taking off.
420
00:32:07,703 --> 00:32:09,826
- We're not.
Captain would do the same.
421
00:32:09,991 --> 00:32:12,156
- Not in a million years.
- Listen to me-
422
00:32:12,323 --> 00:32:13,987
Know what the chain of command is?
423
00:32:14,154 --> 00:32:17,857
It's the chain I beat you with
till you understand who's in command.
424
00:32:18,024 --> 00:32:19,605
Now, we're finishing this deal.
425
00:32:19,772 --> 00:32:25,890
Then maybe we'll come back for those
morons that got themselves caught.
426
00:32:26,057 --> 00:32:29,927
You can't change that by getting all...
427
00:32:30,177 --> 00:32:32,215
- ... bendy.
- All what?
428
00:32:32,382 --> 00:32:36,835
You got the light from the console...
429
00:32:37,002 --> 00:32:39,207
...to keep you...
430
00:32:39,749 --> 00:32:41,455
Lift you up.
431
00:32:41,621 --> 00:32:44,618
Oh, they shine like...
432
00:32:45,075 --> 00:32:47,906
...little angels.
433
00:32:52,775 --> 00:32:56,854
- Did he just go crazy and fall asleep?
- I told him to sit down.
434
00:32:57,686 --> 00:32:59,226
You doped him.
435
00:33:00,682 --> 00:33:03,554
It was supposed to kick in
a good deal sooner.
436
00:33:03,679 --> 00:33:06,467
I just didn't feel comfortable
with him in charge.
437
00:33:06,634 --> 00:33:08,091
I hope that's all right.
438
00:33:09,339 --> 00:33:11,628
So how do we get the others?
439
00:33:12,253 --> 00:33:15,290
If Jayne was right about them
not making contact...
440
00:33:15,457 --> 00:33:17,829
...they got pinched getting off that train.
441
00:33:17,996 --> 00:33:20,201
We can't just waltz in
and pull them out.
442
00:33:20,493 --> 00:33:24,114
Someone respectable enough
might be able to.
443
00:33:34,518 --> 00:33:37,140
- What the hell-?
- Don't you dare speak to me.
444
00:33:37,306 --> 00:33:40,178
Sheriff, I want this man
bound by law at once.
445
00:33:40,345 --> 00:33:44,256
- That's assuming he hasn't been already.
- No one's been bound. Not yet.
446
00:33:44,548 --> 00:33:46,504
Thank God you stopped them.
447
00:33:46,670 --> 00:33:50,124
Did you think you could access
my accounts and I wouldn't find you?
448
00:33:50,291 --> 00:33:54,828
And, Zoe, what would your husband say
if he knew you were here?
449
00:33:54,994 --> 00:33:57,949
I was weak.
450
00:33:58,282 --> 00:34:01,945
- So I take it they ain't newlyweds.
- Hardly.
451
00:34:02,110 --> 00:34:04,192
Malcolm's my indentured man...
452
00:34:04,358 --> 00:34:06,730
...with three years left in his debt.
453
00:34:06,897 --> 00:34:10,934
I imagine we'll have to add another
six months after this little adventure.
454
00:34:14,596 --> 00:34:15,969
You'll have to pardon them.
455
00:34:16,136 --> 00:34:19,799
Don't think one of them's ever seen
a registered companion before.
456
00:34:19,965 --> 00:34:23,045
- I apologize for my manner.
Oh, not a bit.
457
00:34:23,211 --> 00:34:26,416
Should I contact my ship? Do you
need to hold them much longer?
458
00:34:26,541 --> 00:34:28,539
Looks to me like we're about done here.
459
00:34:28,704 --> 00:34:32,825
We had some unrelated trouble.
His story had kind of an odor to it.
460
00:34:33,158 --> 00:34:37,278
Yes. It's not the only thing
about him that does.
461
00:34:38,568 --> 00:34:41,357
Thank you very much, sheriff.
462
00:34:41,648 --> 00:34:42,855
Come along.
463
00:34:55,923 --> 00:34:58,379
That's a hell of a lady.
464
00:34:59,086 --> 00:35:03,373
- Her files were all in order?
- I read them twice.
465
00:35:06,036 --> 00:35:09,116
All right. Let's get started
with the rest then.
466
00:35:16,898 --> 00:35:21,352
- Hey. How'd it go?
- She hit me.
467
00:35:26,096 --> 00:35:29,218
We tried to get him into the infirmary.
He's just heavy.
468
00:35:29,383 --> 00:35:32,921
- Engine's running. We're good to go.
- We're not going.
469
00:35:33,088 --> 00:35:36,500
- Not what? Not why?
- We're bringing the cargo back.
470
00:35:36,667 --> 00:35:41,037
What? What do you mean "back"?
I waited for you guys.
471
00:35:41,204 --> 00:35:43,784
What are you talking about?
What about Niska?
472
00:35:43,950 --> 00:35:45,989
Won't this put him in a killing mood?
473
00:35:46,156 --> 00:35:48,736
- Others need this more.
- Let's get it on the mule.
474
00:35:48,903 --> 00:35:52,191
- My shuttle's faster.
- You risked enough flying in there once.
475
00:35:52,357 --> 00:35:54,396
I don't want to get
slapped around no more.
476
00:35:54,563 --> 00:35:58,516
We'll explain to Niska that the job
went south when we return the money.
477
00:35:58,683 --> 00:36:01,680
If you want to explain,
now's your chance.
478
00:36:18,701 --> 00:36:21,032
You didn't make the rendezvous.
479
00:36:21,198 --> 00:36:23,654
We ran into a few complications.
480
00:36:23,820 --> 00:36:27,857
You are thinking of taking Mr. Niska's
money and his property maybe.
481
00:36:28,024 --> 00:36:30,022
Interestingly, neither.
482
00:36:30,521 --> 00:36:34,807
- I don't understand.
- Yeah, look, here's what it is. Deal's off.
483
00:36:37,179 --> 00:36:39,593
We changed our minds.
484
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,757
You entered into an arrangement
with Mr. Niska.
485
00:36:42,923 --> 00:36:46,169
- There is no mind-changing.
That's where you're wrong.
486
00:36:46,336 --> 00:36:51,537
We just can't take this job,
so you just relax.
487
00:36:51,704 --> 00:36:55,617
We'll get you the money Niska gave us,
you return it to him, we'll call it even.
488
00:36:55,783 --> 00:36:57,281
There is no even.
489
00:36:58,446 --> 00:37:00,070
Is that right?
490
00:37:54,839 --> 00:37:56,046
Nice shot.
491
00:37:57,211 --> 00:38:00,166
I was aiming for his head.
492
00:38:14,525 --> 00:38:16,980
We'll have to drag them from here.
493
00:38:17,146 --> 00:38:18,770
Leave them just off the street...
494
00:38:18,935 --> 00:38:21,724
...notify the sheriff
once we're in deep, deep space.
495
00:38:21,891 --> 00:38:24,429
Why not tell him in person?
496
00:38:27,051 --> 00:38:29,049
Got word of a ship not far out.
497
00:38:29,382 --> 00:38:31,588
Came looking.
498
00:38:34,751 --> 00:38:37,539
Didn't expect to find you
coming back.
499
00:38:37,955 --> 00:38:39,953
Didn't expect to be coming.
500
00:38:40,535 --> 00:38:42,033
Nothing missing.
501
00:38:49,150 --> 00:38:53,062
You were truthful back in town.
These are tough times.
502
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:55,642
A man can get a job...
503
00:38:56,476 --> 00:38:59,138
...he might not look too close
at what that job is.
504
00:39:00,928 --> 00:39:06,505
But a man who learns all the details
of a situation like ours, well...
505
00:39:07,254 --> 00:39:09,585
...then he has a choice.
506
00:39:10,375 --> 00:39:12,707
I don't believe he does.
507
00:39:17,617 --> 00:39:20,156
Let's get these crates back to town.
508
00:39:20,323 --> 00:39:22,445
Make ourselves useful.
509
00:39:39,883 --> 00:39:42,588
Now, this is all the money
Niska gave us in advance.
510
00:39:42,754 --> 00:39:45,584
You bring it back to him,
tell him the job didn't work out.
511
00:39:46,084 --> 00:39:48,081
We're not thieves.
512
00:39:48,248 --> 00:39:51,411
But we are thieves. The point is,
we're not taking what's his.
513
00:39:51,744 --> 00:39:54,616
We'll stay out of his way
as best we can from here on in.
514
00:39:54,782 --> 00:39:56,988
You explain that's best
for everyone, okay?
515
00:40:01,441 --> 00:40:02,814
Keep the money.
516
00:40:02,981 --> 00:40:05,561
Use it to buy a funeral.
517
00:40:05,728 --> 00:40:09,806
It doesn't matter where you go
or how far you fly.
518
00:40:09,973 --> 00:40:15,092
I will hunt you down, and the last thing
you see will be my blade.
519
00:40:16,382 --> 00:40:17,631
Darn.
520
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:26,246
This is all the money-
521
00:40:26,411 --> 00:40:29,492
Oh, I got it. I'm good.
Best thing for everyone.
522
00:40:29,658 --> 00:40:31,739
I'm right there with you.
523
00:40:42,435 --> 00:40:45,973
- You should've let me do this sooner.
- I've had plenty worse.
524
00:40:46,138 --> 00:40:47,928
It's just- Ow!
525
00:40:48,095 --> 00:40:50,925
- Sorry.
- Just be careful.
526
00:40:51,882 --> 00:40:55,378
Pretty fast thinking,
doping up Jayne.
527
00:40:55,544 --> 00:40:59,248
- Can't say you made a lifetime friend.
- I'll deal with him.
528
00:40:59,415 --> 00:41:01,870
Yeah, I'm not too worried about you.
529
00:41:02,578 --> 00:41:04,492
How's your sister?
530
00:41:04,659 --> 00:41:06,157
The same.
531
00:41:06,324 --> 00:41:09,320
In one moment, she seems
perfectly cogent. The next...
532
00:41:10,444 --> 00:41:12,857
...she speaks nonsense.
533
00:41:13,024 --> 00:41:14,897
It's like a child.
534
00:41:15,979 --> 00:41:18,725
So difficult to diagnose.
535
00:41:18,892 --> 00:41:22,680
I still don't know what the government
was trying to do with her.
536
00:41:23,095 --> 00:41:27,215
So I have no idea if they succeeded.
537
00:41:28,756 --> 00:41:31,752
Hands of blue.
538
00:41:31,919 --> 00:41:34,207
Two by two...
539
00:41:34,374 --> 00:41:37,038
...hands of blue.
540
00:41:37,371 --> 00:41:40,824
- Sorry to keep you waiting. There's-
We're not interested.
541
00:41:41,116 --> 00:41:43,114
We're here about a theft.
542
00:41:43,696 --> 00:41:47,276
The medicine on that planet.
Word came up that was returned.
543
00:41:47,442 --> 00:41:52,103
We didn't fly 86 million miles to track
down a box of Band-Aids, colonel.
544
00:41:52,311 --> 00:41:53,934
We're looking for a girl.
545
00:41:54,933 --> 00:41:57,139
This girl.
