1
00:00:01,953 --> 00:00:05,998
- Come on, admit it, it's true.
- No, I won't. Because it's not.
2
00:00:06,165 --> 00:00:10,169
- I use swear words like anybody else.
- Oh, really?
3
00:00:10,837 --> 00:00:14,882
I never heard you. When is it that you do
all this cussing? After I go to bed or...?
4
00:00:15,091 --> 00:00:17,844
I swear when it's appropriate.
5
00:00:18,010 --> 00:00:22,390
Simon, the whole point of swearing
is that it ain't appropriate.
6
00:00:23,433 --> 00:00:25,476
Hey there, Inara.
7
00:00:25,685 --> 00:00:27,645
Heading off for
some glamorous romance?
8
00:00:27,812 --> 00:00:29,063
Let's hope so.
9
00:00:29,689 --> 00:00:30,982
See you two tomorrow.
10
00:00:31,274 --> 00:00:34,360
Don't let Mal get you into too much
trouble while I'm gone.
11
00:00:34,527 --> 00:00:37,947
Bye, now. Have good sex.
12
00:00:40,158 --> 00:00:41,492
What?
13
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:50,626
Oh.
14
00:00:50,793 --> 00:00:54,005
Now this would be a perfect time
for a swear word.
15
00:00:54,213 --> 00:00:57,884
- What happened in here?
- Needed to find some tape.
16
00:00:58,217 --> 00:01:02,430
- So you had to tear my infirmary apart?
- Apparently.
17
00:01:02,597 --> 00:01:06,976
My God, you're like a trained ape,
without the training.
18
00:01:08,186 --> 00:01:11,939
Jayne, I told you we're setting down
on the Canton Factory settlement...
19
00:01:12,106 --> 00:01:14,734
- ... on Higgins' Moon.
- Yep, that you did.
20
00:01:15,151 --> 00:01:18,196
- Canton don't allow guns in their town.
- Yes, sir.
21
00:01:18,362 --> 00:01:20,406
That's why I ain't strapping one
to my hip.
22
00:01:20,615 --> 00:01:23,034
No, that's why you ain't
strapping one anywhere.
23
00:01:23,785 --> 00:01:25,661
Mal, I was in Canton
a few years back.
24
00:01:25,870 --> 00:01:28,373
I might've made me
a few enemies thereabouts.
25
00:01:28,539 --> 00:01:33,127
Enemies? You? No, how can it be?
26
00:01:33,294 --> 00:01:35,797
I don't like the idea
of going in there empty-handed.
27
00:01:36,214 --> 00:01:38,633
Why are you still arguing
what's been decided?
28
00:01:54,148 --> 00:01:57,068
Okay, Inara, we're atmospheric.
You are good to go.
29
00:01:57,235 --> 00:02:03,282
Thanks, Wash.
Disengaging in three, two, one.
30
00:02:26,431 --> 00:02:28,808
Canton really stinks.
31
00:02:29,016 --> 00:02:32,437
That's what makes it a great drop point.
No one comes through.
32
00:02:32,770 --> 00:02:35,064
I vote we do this job
really, really fast.
33
00:02:35,398 --> 00:02:38,526
Kessler's our man. He's holding
the goods we're to deliver.
34
00:02:39,152 --> 00:02:42,947
We go in, make contact.
Easy-peasy.
35
00:02:43,197 --> 00:02:44,866
Zoe, you're holding down the fort.
36
00:02:45,033 --> 00:02:47,994
Let Bernoulli know we'll have
his merchandise end of the week.
37
00:02:48,161 --> 00:02:52,999
- Don't I usually stay with the ship?
- I outrank you. Have fun.
38
00:02:54,333 --> 00:02:58,880
So this is the place
where they make mud.
39
00:02:59,047 --> 00:03:01,340
Yep. Clay, really.
40
00:03:01,507 --> 00:03:04,135
You'd be surprised how many
things it ends up in.
41
00:03:04,302 --> 00:03:06,804
Serenity's got more than a few
ceramic parts in her.
42
00:03:06,971 --> 00:03:08,848
- Really?
- Yeah.
43
00:03:09,015 --> 00:03:12,268
Captain, don't you think Simon
should come with us?
44
00:03:12,477 --> 00:03:17,356
- What? Oh, Kaylee, I don't think-
Go on, boy. See the sights.
45
00:03:18,524 --> 00:03:22,904
I can watch over your sister. I believe
we've been developing a rapport.
46
00:03:23,446 --> 00:03:27,658
- I don't know. River-
- Go on. I'm a shepherd, after all.
47
00:03:28,076 --> 00:03:31,412
I should be able to keep my eye
on a flock of one.
48
00:03:31,871 --> 00:03:34,290
We're not going that far, doctor...
49
00:03:34,457 --> 00:03:37,418
...and you might maybe make
yourself useful.
50
00:03:37,585 --> 00:03:38,836
Come again?
51
00:03:39,003 --> 00:03:42,548
The management here don't take kindly
to sightseers, which is why we're...
52
00:03:43,174 --> 00:03:44,926
...posing as buyers.
53
00:03:45,134 --> 00:03:48,304
There ain't a one of us looks the part
more than the good doctor.
54
00:03:48,471 --> 00:03:53,059
I mean, the pretty fits, soft hands,
definitely a moneyed individual.
55
00:03:53,267 --> 00:03:56,646
- All rich and lily-white, pasty all over.
- All right.
56
00:03:56,854 --> 00:04:02,527
- Fine, I'll go, just stop describing me.
- You're the boss, boss.
57
00:04:02,693 --> 00:04:06,197
He's the boss now?
Day keeps getting better and better.
58
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,002
Area's employees only.
59
00:04:20,169 --> 00:04:24,090
Best be getting back to landing
unless you have business here.
60
00:04:24,257 --> 00:04:26,342
Yes.
61
00:04:26,551 --> 00:04:30,388
Yes, I'm looking to buy some mud.
62
00:04:30,763 --> 00:04:35,643
Well, then, come to the right place.
63
00:04:37,687 --> 00:04:39,147
Captain-
64
00:04:39,647 --> 00:04:41,983
Of course, we can handle
any volume here.
65
00:04:42,150 --> 00:04:45,737
We have over 2000 workers,
mostly indentured.
66
00:04:45,945 --> 00:04:47,572
We pay them next to nothing.
67
00:04:47,739 --> 00:04:51,784
That way we can pass the savings
directly on to you, the customer.
68
00:04:51,951 --> 00:04:54,037
Savings?
69
00:04:54,287 --> 00:04:56,539
Uh... Excellent, that's-
70
00:04:56,706 --> 00:05:00,543
Because, as I said before,
I'm gonna be needing quite a bit of it.
71
00:05:00,710 --> 00:05:05,339
- I'm a buyer.
- The best of its kind.
72
00:05:05,506 --> 00:05:08,593
We mix it, we brick it raw
right here on the premises.
73
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,512
You add the right catalyst,
you kiln it proper...
74
00:05:11,679 --> 00:05:15,600
...this stuff's 10 times stronger
than steel at half the weight.
75
00:05:15,767 --> 00:05:19,854
Yes. I've heard great...
76
00:05:20,021 --> 00:05:23,733
What happened to Simon?
Who is this diabolical master of disguise?
77
00:05:23,900 --> 00:05:25,443
He's learning.
78
00:05:25,610 --> 00:05:27,278
- It's-
Excuse me, boss.
79
00:05:27,653 --> 00:05:29,739
I'm sure the foreman
has things need attending.
80
00:05:29,906 --> 00:05:31,866
Let's wander a bit,
look at the operation...
81
00:05:32,033 --> 00:05:34,535
...then you can figure on
whether we get an account.
82
00:05:34,702 --> 00:05:36,621
Yes?
83
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:42,585
Yes. Yes, we'll wander a bit.
84
00:05:43,169 --> 00:05:46,798
Fair enough. Come and see me
when you're through.
85
00:05:49,634 --> 00:05:51,511
All right. Head to worker town...
86
00:05:51,677 --> 00:05:54,263
...find our man Kessler,
get this job done.
87
00:05:55,223 --> 00:05:58,226
The boy's gonna get us killed.
Let's just do this deal and get.
88
00:05:58,393 --> 00:06:01,020
His disguise ain't half as funny as yours.
89
00:06:01,187 --> 00:06:04,565
- Who're you supposed to be, anyway?
- You haven't been here in years.
90
00:06:04,774 --> 00:06:09,028
You really think you need that getup?
No one's gonna remember you.
91
00:06:09,195 --> 00:06:11,114
I think it's possible they might.
92
00:06:25,002 --> 00:06:27,171
Son of a bitch.
93
00:07:25,563 --> 00:07:28,775
Jayne?
Yeah?
94
00:07:29,358 --> 00:07:32,445
You wanna tell me how come
there's a statue of you here...
95
00:07:32,612 --> 00:07:34,781
...looking at me
like I owe him something?
96
00:07:35,365 --> 00:07:36,783
Wishing I could, captain.
97
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:42,288
- No, seriously. You want to tell me-?
- Look, Mal, I got no rutting idea.
98
00:07:43,623 --> 00:07:46,167
I was here a few years back,
like I said...
99
00:07:46,376 --> 00:07:50,129
...pulled a second-story, stole a lot of
scratch from the magistrate on the hill...
100
00:07:50,296 --> 00:07:52,465
...but things went way south.
101
00:07:52,924 --> 00:07:54,634
I had to hightail it.
102
00:07:54,801 --> 00:07:57,762
They don't put you on a pedestal
in town square for that.
103
00:07:57,929 --> 00:08:01,724
Yeah, except I'm looking at some fairly
compelling evidence says they do.
104
00:08:02,350 --> 00:08:05,019
This must be what going mad feels like.
105
00:08:05,186 --> 00:08:08,439
I think they captured him,
though, you know.
106
00:08:08,606 --> 00:08:10,149
Captured his essence.
107
00:08:10,358 --> 00:08:13,653
- He looks sort of angry, don't he?
- That's kind of what I meant.
108
00:08:17,615 --> 00:08:20,076
Shift 4 on duty.
Shift 4 on duty.
109
00:08:22,787 --> 00:08:25,206
Hey, I got an idea.
110
00:08:25,498 --> 00:08:27,875
Instead of us hanging around
playing art critic...
111
00:08:28,084 --> 00:08:30,461
...till I get pinched,
how's about we move away...
112
00:08:30,628 --> 00:08:33,840
...from this eerie-ass piece of work
and get on with our day.
113
00:08:34,048 --> 00:08:35,341
I don't know.
114
00:08:35,508 --> 00:08:39,220
This here's a spectacle might warrant
a moment's consideration.
115
00:08:39,804 --> 00:08:44,517
Everywhere I go
his eyes keep following me.
116
00:08:45,435 --> 00:08:50,231
Come on, gorram, we got a job.
Let's go do it, get the hell out of here.
117
00:08:52,984 --> 00:08:56,946
I crossed the magistrate
of this company town. Understand?
118
00:08:58,364 --> 00:09:01,492
He ain't exactly a forgiving sort of guy.
119
00:09:03,327 --> 00:09:06,080
- Magistrate Higgins, I may presume.
- You may.
120
00:09:06,247 --> 00:09:09,792
But I only make the people I own
use my title.
121
00:09:10,668 --> 00:09:13,588
"Mr. Higgins" will do fine.
122
00:09:13,755 --> 00:09:15,757
And you can call me Inara, Mr. Higgins.
123
00:09:16,174 --> 00:09:20,553
It's a rare pleasure,
your visit to my little moon.
124
00:09:21,179 --> 00:09:25,308
- The journey wasn't too taxing?
- Not at all. I'm refreshed and ready.
125
00:09:25,475 --> 00:09:29,687
- Shall we begin at, say, 7:30?
- Perfect.
126
00:09:30,605 --> 00:09:34,609
I have a feeling it will take all your art
to deal with this particular problem.
127
00:09:34,776 --> 00:09:38,404
Every problem, Mr. Higgins,
is an opportunity in disguise.
128
00:09:46,829 --> 00:09:51,042
- What are we up to, sweetheart?
- Fixing your Bible.
129
00:09:52,126 --> 00:09:54,128
I...
130
00:09:54,295 --> 00:09:55,797
What?
131
00:09:55,963 --> 00:10:00,259
Bible's broken.
Contradictions, false logistics.
132
00:10:00,426 --> 00:10:03,679
- Doesn't make sense.
- No, no, you can't take-
133
00:10:03,846 --> 00:10:06,224
We'll integrate nonprogressional
evolution theory...
134
00:10:06,391 --> 00:10:08,393
...with God's creation of Eden.
135
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:12,271
Eleven inherent metaphoric
parallels already there.
136
00:10:13,147 --> 00:10:15,691
Eleven, important number.
Prime number.
137
00:10:15,858 --> 00:10:19,904
One goes into the house of eleven
eleven times but always comes out one.
138
00:10:21,531 --> 00:10:24,158
- Noah's Ark is a problem.
- Really?
139
00:10:24,325 --> 00:10:26,828
We'll have to call it
early quantum-state phenomenon.
140
00:10:26,994 --> 00:10:31,165
Only way to fit 5000 species
of mammal on the same boat.
141
00:10:31,332 --> 00:10:33,501
Give me that.
142
00:10:34,085 --> 00:10:37,380
River, you don't fix the Bible.
143
00:10:38,172 --> 00:10:40,174
It's broken.
144
00:10:40,341 --> 00:10:43,636
It doesn't make sense.
145
00:10:43,803 --> 00:10:47,849
It's not about making sense.
146
00:10:48,015 --> 00:10:50,351
It's about believing in something.
147
00:10:50,518 --> 00:10:55,148
And letting that belief
be real enough to change your life.
148
00:10:55,314 --> 00:10:57,275
It's about faith.
149
00:10:57,483 --> 00:11:01,446
You don't fix faith, River.
150
00:11:01,988 --> 00:11:04,198
It fixes you.
151
00:11:12,999 --> 00:11:15,168
You hang on to those then.
152
00:11:24,343 --> 00:11:26,512
Can't be a statue of me.
No reason for it.
153
00:11:26,721 --> 00:11:29,640
Flies in the face
of every kind of sense.
154
00:11:30,308 --> 00:11:32,435
Won't argue with that.
155
00:11:39,901 --> 00:11:42,487
They call it mudder's milk.
156
00:11:42,695 --> 00:11:47,700
All the proteins, vitamins and carbs
of your grandma's best turkey dinner...
157
00:11:47,909 --> 00:11:49,911
...plus 15 % alcohoI.
158
00:11:50,286 --> 00:11:52,830
- It's horrific.
It worked for the Egyptians.
159
00:11:53,247 --> 00:11:56,250
- What's that?
- The ancient Egyptians.
160
00:11:56,417 --> 00:11:59,879
Back on Earth. Not so different
from the ancestral form of beer...
161
00:12:00,046 --> 00:12:04,759
...they fed the slaves to build
their pyramids. It's liquid bread.
162
00:12:04,967 --> 00:12:08,304
It kept them from starving and knocked
them out so they wouldn't...
163
00:12:08,471 --> 00:12:12,100
- ... be inclined to insurrection.
- Wow, Simon, that was so...
164
00:12:12,683 --> 00:12:14,143
...historical.
165
00:12:15,186 --> 00:12:18,856
Now what's a gussied-up fella like you
doing in a place like this?
166
00:12:25,113 --> 00:12:28,533
Shake your head, boy,
your eyes are stuck.
167
00:12:28,741 --> 00:12:29,867
Get!
168
00:12:34,664 --> 00:12:37,709
- You wouldn't be looking for Kessler?
- Just having a brew.
169
00:12:38,835 --> 00:12:40,837
I knew a Kessler.
170
00:12:41,003 --> 00:12:42,672
Knew?
171
00:12:44,841 --> 00:12:48,845
He was a good middleman.
Low profile. Didn't filch.
172
00:12:49,053 --> 00:12:51,431
Last week the factory foreman
and his prod crew...
173
00:12:51,597 --> 00:12:53,391
...heard he was moving contraband.
174
00:12:53,599 --> 00:12:56,644
- Gave him a peck of trouble for it.
- What kind of peck was that?
175
00:12:56,936 --> 00:13:00,148
The kind where they hacked off
his hands and feet with a machete...
176
00:13:00,314 --> 00:13:03,359
- ... rolled him into the bog.
- They peck pretty hard around here.
177
00:13:03,526 --> 00:13:06,362
Listen, my client off-world
is waiting for his delivery.
178
00:13:06,529 --> 00:13:08,531
- If the goods are gone-
Not to worry.
179
00:13:08,740 --> 00:13:12,285
Your man's merchandise is here,
safe in Kessler's hiding place.
180
00:13:12,452 --> 00:13:14,746
We gotta figure out
how to get it across town...
181
00:13:14,912 --> 00:13:17,665
...without being seen
by the foreman and his prods.
182
00:13:17,874 --> 00:13:20,752
I advise we all just
lay low for a moment.
183
00:13:24,714 --> 00:13:31,179
Jayne
The man they call Jayne
184
00:13:32,346 --> 00:13:36,184
He robbed from the rich
And he gave to the poor
185
00:13:36,350 --> 00:13:40,229
Stood up to the man
And he gave him what for
186
00:13:40,396 --> 00:13:44,108
Our love for him now
Ain't hard to explain
187
00:13:44,609 --> 00:13:50,823
The hero of Canton
The man they call Jayne
188
00:13:53,701 --> 00:13:57,872
Our Jayne saw
The mudders ' backs breaking
189
00:13:58,081 --> 00:14:01,125
He saw the mudders ' lament
190
00:14:01,626 --> 00:14:05,588
And he saw the magistrate taking
191
00:14:05,755 --> 00:14:09,634
Every dollar and leaving 5 cents
192
00:14:09,801 --> 00:14:13,596
So he said
"You can't do that to my people"
193
00:14:13,971 --> 00:14:17,266
Uh, Jayne?
194
00:14:17,433 --> 00:14:19,519
Yeah, Mal.
195
00:14:19,769 --> 00:14:23,189
You got any light you'd like to shed
on this development?
196
00:14:24,857 --> 00:14:26,859
No, Mal.
197
00:14:27,944 --> 00:14:32,448
No, this must be what
going mad feels like.
198
00:14:32,615 --> 00:14:36,327
Stood up to the man
And he gave him what for
199
00:14:36,536 --> 00:14:40,623
Our love for him now
Ain't hard to explain
200
00:14:40,790 --> 00:14:46,921
The hero of Canton
The man they call Jayne
201
00:14:48,172 --> 00:14:51,300
Now here is what separates heroes
202
00:14:51,759 --> 00:14:56,139
From common folk like you and I
203
00:14:56,389 --> 00:15:00,017
The man they called Jayne
He turned around his plane
204
00:15:00,184 --> 00:15:03,312
And let that money hit sky
205
00:15:03,479 --> 00:15:06,983
Oh, I'll be gorram.
That's where that cash went.
206
00:15:07,150 --> 00:15:09,736
I stole that money from Higgins
like the song says.
207
00:15:09,902 --> 00:15:13,406
Lifted me one of his hovercraft.
But I got tagged by anti-aircraft...
208
00:15:13,573 --> 00:15:18,619
...started losing altitude, had to dump
them strongboxes to stay airborne.
209
00:15:23,207 --> 00:15:27,712
Sixty thousand, untraceable...
210
00:15:27,879 --> 00:15:32,884
...and I drop it right square in the middle
of mud-farmer central.
211
00:15:34,802 --> 00:15:38,431
We gotta go to the crappy town
where I'm a hero.
212
00:15:40,516 --> 00:15:43,061
Yeah!
213
00:15:56,115 --> 00:15:58,910
- Hello?
- In here, River.
214
00:15:59,077 --> 00:16:00,912
Um... Um...
215
00:16:01,079 --> 00:16:07,168
I tore these out of your symboI,
and they turned into paper...
216
00:16:07,335 --> 00:16:09,545
...but I want to put them back, so...
217
00:16:10,046 --> 00:16:12,673
Sorry, what's that?
218
00:16:14,217 --> 00:16:17,387
River? River, come back.
219
00:16:17,553 --> 00:16:21,099
Preacher, what the hell did you sick-?
Oh.
220
00:16:22,475 --> 00:16:26,062
Now they off the subject of me,
shouldn't we be getting out of here?
221
00:16:26,229 --> 00:16:30,983
- I'd say that's a reasonable request.
- Rutting mudders.
222
00:16:38,116 --> 00:16:41,077
Yay!
223
00:16:45,707 --> 00:16:50,086
Jayne! Jayne! Jayne! Jayne! Jayne!
224
00:16:50,294 --> 00:16:55,675
Jayne! Jayne! Jayne! Jayne! Jayne!
Jayne! Jayne! Jayne! Jayne! Jayne!
225
00:17:03,641 --> 00:17:05,560
Give me some milk.
226
00:17:09,063 --> 00:17:12,442
Don't you understand?
He's come back.
227
00:17:13,067 --> 00:17:15,194
It's Jayne.
228
00:17:16,154 --> 00:17:18,573
- What the-?
- A hero can't and won't be drinking...
229
00:17:18,740 --> 00:17:23,036
...that sun-myun how. He drinks
the best whiskey in the house!
230
00:17:31,627 --> 00:17:34,464
Is this how people
lay low where you're from?
231
00:17:34,672 --> 00:17:37,300
- Not generally, no.
- Listen, friend, I came here...
232
00:17:37,467 --> 00:17:39,510
...to make sure the deal
went down solid.
233
00:17:39,677 --> 00:17:42,930
Not to get chopped up by the Canton
prod crew and fed to the bog.
234
00:17:43,139 --> 00:17:45,516
I understand your concerns, friend.
235
00:17:45,683 --> 00:17:49,020
This here's all part of our new plan.
236
00:17:53,775 --> 00:17:57,904
- Captain, how exactly is this part of-?
- Still working the details.
237
00:18:14,170 --> 00:18:18,966
Inara, allow me to introduce
my son, Fess Higgins.
238
00:18:19,258 --> 00:18:23,846
Hello, Fess. Mr. Higgins,
this shuttle is a place of union.
239
00:18:24,055 --> 00:18:26,682
- I'm sure you can appreciate-
- What is this?
240
00:18:28,434 --> 00:18:31,521
I brought you here to bed my son,
not throw him a tea party.
241
00:18:31,687 --> 00:18:35,650
Sir, a companion greeting ceremony
is a ritual with centuries of tradition-
242
00:18:35,858 --> 00:18:39,028
My son is 26 years old,
and he ain't yet a man.
243
00:18:40,238 --> 00:18:43,199
Twenty-six. And since he can't find
a willing woman himself-
244
00:18:43,366 --> 00:18:46,577
Mr. Higgins, you're not allowed here.
245
00:18:47,161 --> 00:18:48,830
- What?
- As I said, this room...
246
00:18:48,996 --> 00:18:51,207
...is a consecrated place of union.
247
00:18:51,374 --> 00:18:54,127
- Only your son belongs here.
- Well, I'm-
248
00:18:54,293 --> 00:18:56,504
Why don't you go
and let us begin our work.
249
00:18:56,671 --> 00:19:00,299
- Now listen here, young lady-
- Good night, Mr. Higgins.
250
00:19:05,638 --> 00:19:09,058
Well, that's a bit more peaceful.
251
00:19:09,225 --> 00:19:10,685
Will you sit?
252
00:19:11,060 --> 00:19:13,438
- To Jayne!
To Jayne!
253
00:19:13,604 --> 00:19:16,149
To me!
254
00:19:21,362 --> 00:19:24,657
- To the mudders!
Yeah!
255
00:19:24,824 --> 00:19:25,908
Boss Higgins...
256
00:19:29,328 --> 00:19:32,832
You know, I've saved lives.
257
00:19:32,999 --> 00:19:35,293
Dozens. Maybe hundreds.
258
00:19:35,460 --> 00:19:39,756
I re-attached a girl's leg.
Her whole leg.
259
00:19:39,922 --> 00:19:42,925
She named her hamster after me.
260
00:19:43,134 --> 00:19:45,636
I got a hamster.
261
00:19:45,803 --> 00:19:49,932
He drops a box of money,
he gets a town.
262
00:19:50,683 --> 00:19:54,562
- Hamsters is nice.
- To Jayne.
263
00:19:54,729 --> 00:19:59,901
The box-dropping,
man-ape-gone-wrong thing.
264
00:20:01,277 --> 00:20:06,407
- You know, you are pretty funny.
- And you're pretty...
265
00:20:08,242 --> 00:20:10,328
...pretty.
266
00:20:12,914 --> 00:20:17,460
- What did you just say?
- I just said that you're pretty.
267
00:20:18,419 --> 00:20:21,923
Even when you're covered
in engine grease, you're-
268
00:20:22,090 --> 00:20:26,135
No, especially. Especially when
you're covered in engine grease.
269
00:20:26,344 --> 00:20:29,430
Time to get out of this nut house.
I got planning to work out.
270
00:20:29,597 --> 00:20:33,601
Now, captain?
Things are going so well.
271
00:20:33,768 --> 00:20:36,896
I suppose. Jayne's certainly
feeling better about life, but-
272
00:20:37,105 --> 00:20:41,651
I said, things are going well.
273
00:20:42,985 --> 00:20:46,114
Oh, "well. "
274
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:51,369
Well, I tell you what. Jayne is
stuck here with his adoring masses.
275
00:20:51,536 --> 00:20:55,456
Why don't you and Simon hang around
and keep an eye on him for me.
276
00:21:01,629 --> 00:21:04,674
The snow on the roof is
too heavy. The ceiling will cave in.
277
00:21:04,841 --> 00:21:07,427
His brains are in terrible danger.
278
00:21:07,593 --> 00:21:09,721
River?
279
00:21:09,887 --> 00:21:13,433
- Please, why don't you come on out?
- No, I can't.
280
00:21:13,599 --> 00:21:18,730
- Too much hair.
- Is that it?
281
00:21:18,896 --> 00:21:23,818
Hell, yes, preacher. If I didn't have stuff
to get done, I'd be in there with her.
282
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,158
It's the rules of my order.
283
00:21:30,324 --> 00:21:33,369
- Like the book, it symbolizes-
- Uh-huh.
284
00:21:33,536 --> 00:21:37,040
River, honey, he's putting
the hair away now.
285
00:21:37,206 --> 00:21:41,961
RlvER: It doesn't matter.
It'll still be there. Waiting.
286
00:21:43,004 --> 00:21:45,214
Honey, we're home.
287
00:21:45,381 --> 00:21:48,009
Where you guys been?
Bernoulli's chomping at the bit...
288
00:21:48,176 --> 00:21:49,802
...says he wants his merchandise.
289
00:21:49,969 --> 00:21:52,597
We still got a few wrinkles
to work out on the deal.
290
00:21:52,805 --> 00:21:56,768
Did you know that Jayne
is a bona fide folk hero?
291
00:21:56,934 --> 00:22:00,563
- Got a song and everything.
- You've been drinking, husband.
292
00:22:00,980 --> 00:22:03,566
That he has.
Don't make it any less the case.
293
00:22:03,733 --> 00:22:05,568
- You're telling me Jayne-
- It's true.
294
00:22:05,735 --> 00:22:07,612
True enough. We can use it, anyways.
295
00:22:07,779 --> 00:22:11,574
We talked a few pillars of the mudder
community into having a little...
296
00:22:11,741 --> 00:22:15,870
...Jayne Day celebration
in town square tomorrow.
297
00:22:17,163 --> 00:22:20,375
It should buy us enough of a distraction
to get the stolen goods...
298
00:22:20,541 --> 00:22:22,418
...out from under the foreman.
299
00:22:23,044 --> 00:22:26,422
You're really gonna have to
start again. Jayne's a what?
300
00:22:27,298 --> 00:22:32,136
This whole thing, it is embarrassing.
301
00:22:34,222 --> 00:22:37,350
My father's right again, I guess.
And to have to bring you here-
302
00:22:37,517 --> 00:22:42,271
Your father isn't right, Fess.
It's not embarrassing to be a virgin.
303
00:22:42,438 --> 00:22:45,441
It's simply one state of being.
304
00:22:45,608 --> 00:22:48,277
As far as bringing me here...
305
00:22:48,444 --> 00:22:52,824
...Companions choose the people
they're to be with very carefully.
306
00:22:53,282 --> 00:22:59,497
For example, if your father had asked me
to come here for him, I wouldn't have.
307
00:22:59,664 --> 00:23:01,332
Really?
308
00:23:01,499 --> 00:23:03,751
Really, Fess.
309
00:23:04,585 --> 00:23:07,130
But you're different from him.
310
00:23:07,296 --> 00:23:11,300
The more you accept that,
the stronger you'll become.
311
00:23:20,017 --> 00:23:23,271
So the magistrate, he let you
folks keep all that cash?
312
00:23:23,438 --> 00:23:26,149
He did. And it pained him,
that's for dead sure.
313
00:23:26,357 --> 00:23:29,527
When he found out, he sent
his prods in to take it back from us...
314
00:23:29,736 --> 00:23:31,571
...but the workers resisted.
315
00:23:31,738 --> 00:23:32,989
Fought the law, huh?
316
00:23:33,281 --> 00:23:36,492
If the mudders are together,
there's too many of us to be put down.
317
00:23:36,659 --> 00:23:39,162
So in the end,
he just called it a bonus.
318
00:23:39,328 --> 00:23:40,955
That's one hell of a bonus.
319
00:23:41,122 --> 00:23:43,875
And then, when we put that statue
of you in town square...
320
00:23:44,083 --> 00:23:49,005
...he rolled in, wanted to tear it down,
but the whole town rioted.
321
00:23:50,381 --> 00:23:54,343
You guys had a riot
on account of me?
322
00:23:55,178 --> 00:23:57,638
My very own riot.
323
00:23:58,556 --> 00:24:00,892
I can't believe you're back.
324
00:24:02,226 --> 00:24:04,353
How could I stay away?
325
00:24:09,108 --> 00:24:13,529
- Magistrate Higgins.
- My son's out there...
326
00:24:13,696 --> 00:24:16,657
...I pray to God, losing his cherry.
327
00:24:16,824 --> 00:24:20,161
There's a problem in worker town, sir.
328
00:24:21,120 --> 00:24:23,664
Jayne Cobb's come back.
329
00:24:45,061 --> 00:24:47,647
- Evening, Stitch.
What do you want with me?
330
00:24:47,814 --> 00:24:50,817
Nothing. Done your time,
you paid your debt.
331
00:24:50,983 --> 00:24:53,444
It's time you were on your way.
332
00:25:07,959 --> 00:25:11,921
Here. I believe these
were your personal effects.
333
00:25:19,637 --> 00:25:23,599
You keep me in that box four years,
and then you give me a loaded gun?
334
00:25:23,808 --> 00:25:25,768
You got the urge to use it, no doubt.
335
00:25:25,977 --> 00:25:28,646
But I'm not the one that
brought you in on that robbery.
336
00:25:28,855 --> 00:25:32,442
I'm not the one that turned on you
when his plan went south.
337
00:25:32,775 --> 00:25:36,904
How high up was that shuttle
when he pushed you out? Thirty feet?
338
00:25:37,447 --> 00:25:41,409
Jayne Cobb cost you
four years of your life...
339
00:25:41,617 --> 00:25:44,162
...plus a perfectly good eyeball.
340
00:25:44,328 --> 00:25:47,665
And here's the poetical portion.
He's back in town.
341
00:25:47,832 --> 00:25:49,876
This very day.
342
00:25:51,085 --> 00:25:53,671
Best of luck in your new life.
343
00:26:18,488 --> 00:26:22,575
Hey, captain. Captain!
Hey.
344
00:26:23,451 --> 00:26:26,662
Mal. Mal, I...
345
00:26:27,413 --> 00:26:30,041
No, nothing happened.
346
00:26:30,208 --> 00:26:36,005
No, there was some drinking,
but, no, we certainly didn't.
347
00:26:36,172 --> 00:26:38,758
I would never-
Not with Kaylee.
348
00:26:38,966 --> 00:26:42,845
- What do you mean, not with me?
- Yeah. Where's my hero?
349
00:26:43,012 --> 00:26:46,599
Now love for me now
Ain't hard to explain
350
00:26:46,766 --> 00:26:53,231
The hero of Canton
The man they call me
351
00:26:53,398 --> 00:26:57,985
Eggs. The living legend needs eggs,
or maybe another milk.
352
00:26:58,152 --> 00:27:00,238
No, living legend
needs to come with us.
353
00:27:00,405 --> 00:27:02,490
He's got a little appearance to make.
354
00:27:02,657 --> 00:27:04,075
- He does?
That's right.
355
00:27:04,534 --> 00:27:06,828
This job here's gone
way past long enough.
356
00:27:07,578 --> 00:27:12,500
All right, well, you go on now.
I got me important hero-type stuff to do.
357
00:27:19,382 --> 00:27:22,260
- Where you going?
- I'm going with you.
358
00:27:22,927 --> 00:27:25,972
I don't think so.
No, maybe you ought to stay here.
359
00:27:27,265 --> 00:27:30,184
It's about time for a civilized person
to have his breakfast.
360
00:27:30,351 --> 00:27:34,021
That's the sort of thing would be
appropriate, don't you think?
361
00:27:48,786 --> 00:27:53,750
- Excuse me, could I see a menu?
A what?
362
00:27:55,376 --> 00:27:57,754
You're very quiet.
363
00:27:57,920 --> 00:27:59,839
I'm sorry.
364
00:28:01,132 --> 00:28:03,134
I just-
365
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,679
I just thought I'd feel...
366
00:28:07,430 --> 00:28:10,516
...different after.
367
00:28:13,019 --> 00:28:15,855
Aren't I supposed to be a man now?
368
00:28:17,565 --> 00:28:21,778
A man is just a boy who's old enough
to ask that question.
369
00:28:24,447 --> 00:28:30,328
Our time together,
it's a ritual, a symboI.
370
00:28:30,495 --> 00:28:33,373
It means something to your father.
371
00:28:34,999 --> 00:28:38,044
I hope it was not entirely
forgettable for you.
372
00:28:38,211 --> 00:28:42,465
- Oh, no, it was-
- But it doesn't make you a man.
373
00:28:42,632 --> 00:28:45,301
You do that yourself.
374
00:28:48,638 --> 00:28:53,393
Fess! Fess Higgins! Get out here!
375
00:28:54,852 --> 00:28:56,396
So that's where the little...
376
00:28:56,562 --> 00:28:59,315
...Jayne celebration
we got planned comes in.
377
00:28:59,482 --> 00:29:02,568
Should give us enough time
to get the goods back on Serenity.
378
00:29:02,735 --> 00:29:04,654
I don't know.
379
00:29:04,821 --> 00:29:08,658
You think we should be using
my fame to hoodwink folks?
380
00:29:08,825 --> 00:29:12,036
- You better laugh when you say that.
- No, really, Mal, I mean...
381
00:29:12,203 --> 00:29:16,624
...maybe there's something to this.
The mudders...
382
00:29:17,166 --> 00:29:20,044
I think I really made
a difference in their lives.
383
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,172
- Me, Jayne Cobb.
- I know your name, jackass.
384
00:29:23,339 --> 00:29:26,843
- They threw a riot on my account.
A riot?
385
00:29:27,802 --> 00:29:31,431
- Morning, kids.
- Is that Jayne? Is that really him?
386
00:29:31,639 --> 00:29:36,936
- Wash, pinch me. I must be dreaming.
- Hell, I'll pinch you.
387
00:29:37,437 --> 00:29:41,441
Just get on over to town square, Jayne.
Your fans are waiting.
388
00:29:56,831 --> 00:30:00,084
You think we can get this stuff
cross-town without being noticed?
389
00:30:00,293 --> 00:30:02,879
Gotta find it first.
390
00:30:11,220 --> 00:30:13,181
Here we go.
391
00:30:15,933 --> 00:30:18,186
Let's get it dug up.
392
00:30:21,439 --> 00:30:25,693
- A criminal hearing?
- Yeah, my father's ordered me to attend.
393
00:30:25,860 --> 00:30:28,571
You see, there's this man...
394
00:30:28,738 --> 00:30:31,240
It happened when I was
growing up here.
395
00:30:32,450 --> 00:30:35,411
He stole a ton of money from my dad
and gave it to the poor...
396
00:30:35,578 --> 00:30:37,080
...to my father's workers.
397
00:30:37,705 --> 00:30:39,707
He's become kind of a folk hero
in Canton.
398
00:30:40,166 --> 00:30:41,834
Go on.
399
00:30:42,001 --> 00:30:44,545
Well, he's back.
Apparently, he landed here yesterday.
400
00:30:44,921 --> 00:30:46,964
Yesterday?
401
00:30:47,507 --> 00:30:50,093
Oh, no.
402
00:30:50,259 --> 00:30:52,470
I know this man.
403
00:30:52,637 --> 00:30:58,059
He just has this idiotic sense
of nobility, you know.
404
00:30:58,226 --> 00:31:00,395
He can never just let things go.
405
00:31:00,561 --> 00:31:05,817
He thinks he's this hard-hearted criminal,
and he can be unrelenting...
406
00:31:05,983 --> 00:31:08,903
...but there's a side to him
that's just so...
407
00:31:09,070 --> 00:31:12,407
You mean you actually know Jayne?
408
00:31:13,032 --> 00:31:16,077
Jayne? Jayne Cobb?
You're talking about Jayne Cobb?
409
00:31:16,285 --> 00:31:18,121
Yes, Jayne Cobb,
the hero of Canton.
410
00:31:18,287 --> 00:31:20,707
The only person I ever saw
who stood up to my father.
411
00:31:20,873 --> 00:31:22,208
I, wha-
412
00:31:22,375 --> 00:31:26,129
My dad had him traced to his ship.
He had port controI put a lock on it.
413
00:31:26,295 --> 00:31:29,006
Jayne'll get back
and find out that he's grounded.
414
00:31:29,215 --> 00:31:33,010
I sort of hate the idea
of his getting caught.
415
00:31:33,177 --> 00:31:36,139
Yes, that would be bad.
416
00:31:40,685 --> 00:31:46,607
Could I just get the check, please?
417
00:31:48,276 --> 00:31:51,654
Heard tell you run with Jayne Cobb.
418
00:31:53,072 --> 00:31:54,991
Excuse me?
419
00:31:55,158 --> 00:31:59,287
You're gonna take me to that dirty,
low-down shingle of a man.
420
00:31:59,829 --> 00:32:04,375
Listen, sir, I don't know who-
421
00:32:08,504 --> 00:32:13,134
Sir? Look at me, you panty-waist idiot!
422
00:32:16,721 --> 00:32:21,684
I just spent the last four years steaming
in a hotbox and you're "sir"- ing me?
423
00:32:25,271 --> 00:32:29,442
Folks say you're part
of Jayne's team, so...
424
00:32:35,114 --> 00:32:38,576
...where is that no-good reptile
hiding himself?
425
00:32:38,785 --> 00:32:42,622
Tell me, boy, or I'll cut off
every last bit of them good looks.
426
00:32:43,247 --> 00:32:44,332
Ah!
427
00:32:45,750 --> 00:32:48,961
Oh, not done yet, young'un.
428
00:32:50,004 --> 00:32:52,423
That's gonna cost you an eye.
429
00:32:52,590 --> 00:32:54,467
Jayne! Jayne! Jayne!
430
00:32:54,634 --> 00:32:57,178
Come on. Come on!
431
00:33:06,521 --> 00:33:10,525
They love their boy.
Just drive by nice and slow.
432
00:33:16,030 --> 00:33:19,659
- Come on, sir, let's just get-
- The magistrate says no.
433
00:33:19,826 --> 00:33:23,496
We hold position. Understand me?
434
00:33:27,875 --> 00:33:32,463
Zoe, pack down the cargo.
Wash, you heat up Serenity.
435
00:33:32,672 --> 00:33:36,008
- We're blowing this mess in half an hour.
Already there.
436
00:33:36,175 --> 00:33:38,761
Let's go get our wayward babes.
437
00:33:39,095 --> 00:33:42,890
Jayne! Jayne! Jayne!
438
00:33:43,057 --> 00:33:47,061
Speech! Speech! Speech!
439
00:33:47,228 --> 00:33:48,271
Um...
440
00:33:50,606 --> 00:33:53,026
I'm no good with words. Don't...
441
00:33:53,192 --> 00:33:55,069
Don't use them much myself.
442
00:33:57,321 --> 00:34:01,868
But I want to thank you all for being
here and thinking so much of me.
443
00:34:05,413 --> 00:34:07,915
Far as I see it...
444
00:34:08,082 --> 00:34:10,793
...you people been given
the shortest end of the stick...
445
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:14,380
...ever been offered a human soul
in this crap-heel 'verse.
446
00:34:16,424 --> 00:34:18,676
But you took that end...
447
00:34:19,469 --> 00:34:21,262
...and you...
448
00:34:21,429 --> 00:34:23,556
- Well, you took it.
Yeah.
449
00:34:23,723 --> 00:34:28,144
Yeah, we did.
- That's- Well, I guess that's something.
450
00:34:28,644 --> 00:34:32,106
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
451
00:34:32,273 --> 00:34:36,361
Wow. That didn't sound half bad.
452
00:34:36,527 --> 00:34:38,237
I'm shocked my own self.
453
00:34:49,082 --> 00:34:51,584
Stitch Hessian.
454
00:34:53,586 --> 00:34:56,255
Well, hey there, Jayne.
455
00:34:56,464 --> 00:35:01,177
Thought I'd make you watch
while I butchered me one of your boys.
456
00:35:03,054 --> 00:35:05,431
He ain't one of mine.
457
00:35:05,598 --> 00:35:07,975
Where you been hiding?
458
00:35:08,184 --> 00:35:10,520
You gone got yourself
looking mighty hideous.
459
00:35:13,231 --> 00:35:14,732
Yeah.
460
00:35:15,566 --> 00:35:18,486
Now Jayne gets his.
461
00:35:19,028 --> 00:35:21,489
Oh, honey.
462
00:35:21,656 --> 00:35:24,158
Kaylee?
463
00:35:24,367 --> 00:35:28,621
So, what's this about a hero of Canton?
Was I hearing that right?
464
00:35:28,788 --> 00:35:31,916
Four years of lockdown
plays tricks on the ear.
465
00:35:32,583 --> 00:35:35,336
I ain't a hero, Stitch.
466
00:35:35,503 --> 00:35:38,840
- Just a working stiff like you.
- Oh.
467
00:35:41,968 --> 00:35:44,470
Yep, he's right. Jayne is.
468
00:35:44,679 --> 00:35:47,598
Heck, we used to work together,
he and I.
469
00:35:51,060 --> 00:35:54,939
Now why don't you just
let old Stitch speak his peace.
470
00:35:57,233 --> 00:35:59,152
Go on, then.
471
00:36:01,904 --> 00:36:06,325
A whole lot of money in a magistrate's
safe, weren't there, Jayne?
472
00:36:07,118 --> 00:36:11,748
Got away clean too, but then our plane
took a hit, and we're going down.
473
00:36:12,749 --> 00:36:15,376
We dumped the fuel reserve,
dumped the life support.
474
00:36:15,543 --> 00:36:18,254
Hell, we even dumped the seats.
475
00:36:19,172 --> 00:36:22,091
Then there's Jayne, the money and me.
476
00:36:23,426 --> 00:36:25,720
There was no way
he was gonna drop that money.
477
00:36:25,928 --> 00:36:30,308
- He did. He dropped it on the mudders.
- By accident, you inbred dung-head.
478
00:36:30,475 --> 00:36:32,560
- He tossed me out first.
What?
479
00:36:33,311 --> 00:36:37,440
For six months we run together,
he turned me out before I could scream.
480
00:36:37,648 --> 00:36:41,402
- You'd have done the same.
- No. Never.
481
00:36:41,569 --> 00:36:46,032
You protect the man you're with.
You watch his back.
482
00:36:46,240 --> 00:36:50,828
Everybody knows that,
hell, except the hero of Canton.
483
00:36:51,037 --> 00:36:54,624
You gonna talk me to death, buddy?
Is that the plan?
484
00:36:54,791 --> 00:36:57,001
This is the plan.
485
00:37:34,664 --> 00:37:36,457
Get up.
486
00:37:37,834 --> 00:37:40,378
Get up, you stupid piece of-
487
00:37:40,586 --> 00:37:44,716
What'd you do that for?
Didn't you hear a word he said?
488
00:37:49,679 --> 00:37:51,931
All of you...
489
00:37:53,015 --> 00:37:56,644
...you think that someone's
just gonna drop money on you?
490
00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:00,148
Money they could use?
491
00:38:02,900 --> 00:38:05,611
Well, there ain't people like that.
492
00:38:07,405 --> 00:38:10,033
There's just people like me.
493
00:39:11,302 --> 00:39:15,014
Wash, we're on.
Get us the hell off of the mud ball.
494
00:39:15,181 --> 00:39:18,184
Yeah, I'm working on it.
495
00:39:28,277 --> 00:39:31,239
Hello, Wash. Has there been
a problem with takeoff?
496
00:39:31,406 --> 00:39:36,077
Is there a problem?
Is there a problem?!
497
00:39:40,456 --> 00:39:42,417
No.
498
00:39:42,583 --> 00:39:44,711
We're fine.
499
00:39:46,671 --> 00:39:49,215
You did what?
500
00:39:49,382 --> 00:39:52,969
I sent an override to port controI,
lifted the land-lock on Serenity.
501
00:39:53,136 --> 00:39:57,807
I ought to wipe that smile off your head.
How dare you defy me, you-
502
00:39:57,974 --> 00:40:03,771
You wanted to make a man
out of me, Dad. I guess it worked.
503
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:35,845
Just keep walking, preacher man.
504
00:40:38,931 --> 00:40:44,228
You gotta be steely. You can't
be letting men stomp on you so much.
505
00:40:44,395 --> 00:40:47,899
It wasn't exactly a plan.
506
00:40:49,609 --> 00:40:50,902
You ain't weak.
507
00:40:52,612 --> 00:40:54,697
You couldn't beat him back?
508
00:40:54,864 --> 00:40:58,242
Or would that not be appropriate?
509
00:40:58,409 --> 00:41:00,703
You're never letting go
of that, are you?
510
00:41:00,912 --> 00:41:04,248
Well, you confound me some, is all.
511
00:41:05,249 --> 00:41:09,754
I mean, you like me well enough,
and we get along.
512
00:41:09,962 --> 00:41:12,590
And then you go all stiff.
513
00:41:12,924 --> 00:41:16,469
I- I'm not- I didn't-
514
00:41:16,636 --> 00:41:19,138
See, you're doing it right now.
515
00:41:19,347 --> 00:41:23,059
What's so damn important
about being proper?
516
00:41:24,268 --> 00:41:26,938
It don't mean nothing
out here in the black.
517
00:41:27,105 --> 00:41:29,524
It means more out here.
518
00:41:31,192 --> 00:41:33,277
It's all I have.
519
00:41:34,195 --> 00:41:40,535
I mean, my way of being polite,
or however it's...
520
00:41:40,702 --> 00:41:45,790
Well, it's the only way I have
of showing you that I like you.
521
00:41:47,250 --> 00:41:49,919
I'm showing respect.
522
00:41:50,878 --> 00:41:54,757
- So when we made love last night-
- When we what?!
523
00:41:55,675 --> 00:41:59,053
You really are such an easy mark.
524
00:42:08,438 --> 00:42:10,690
Don't make no sense.
525
00:42:14,444 --> 00:42:16,237
What...?
526
00:42:16,988 --> 00:42:19,699
Why the hell did that mudder
have to go and do that for?
527
00:42:19,866 --> 00:42:22,744
Jumping in front of that shotgun blast.
528
00:42:25,663 --> 00:42:29,042
Hell, there weren't a one of them
understood what happened out there.
529
00:42:29,208 --> 00:42:32,378
They're probably sticking
that statue right back up.
530
00:42:32,837 --> 00:42:34,714
Most like.
531
00:42:36,049 --> 00:42:38,342
I don't know why that eats at me so.
532
00:42:38,509 --> 00:42:41,012
It's my estimation...
533
00:42:41,804 --> 00:42:44,265
...that every man ever got
a statue made of him...
534
00:42:44,432 --> 00:42:46,726
...was one kind
of son of a bitch or another.
535
00:42:49,354 --> 00:42:51,522
It ain't about you, Jayne.
536
00:42:53,024 --> 00:42:55,193
It's about what they need.
537
00:43:02,033 --> 00:43:04,786
Don't make no sense.
