1
00:00:01,978 --> 00:00:05,190
Did you ever read the works
of Shan Yu?

2
00:00:05,357 --> 00:00:08,443
Shan Yu, the psychotic dictator?

3
00:00:08,610 --> 00:00:10,278
Yep.

4
00:00:10,445 --> 00:00:12,447
Fancied himself
quite the warrior-poet.

5
00:00:12,614 --> 00:00:18,328
Wrote volumes on war, torture,
the limits of human endurance.

6
00:00:18,495 --> 00:00:20,705
That's nice.

7
00:00:20,872 --> 00:00:24,668
He said, "Live with a man 40 years.

8
00:00:24,835 --> 00:00:28,338
Share his house, his meals,
speak on every subject.

9
00:00:28,547 --> 00:00:32,342
Then tie him up and hold him
over the volcano's edge.

10
00:00:32,509 --> 00:00:35,846
And on that day,
you will finally meet the man. "

11
00:00:36,054 --> 00:00:40,142
- What if you don't live near a volcano?
- I expect he was being poetical.

12
00:00:40,434 --> 00:00:44,438
Sadistic crap legitimized
by florid prose.

13
00:00:44,604 --> 00:00:48,483
- Tell me you're not a fan.
- I'm just wondering if they were.

14
00:00:48,650 --> 00:00:51,236
The people who did this to your sister.

15
00:00:51,903 --> 00:00:53,697
The government did this to her.

16
00:00:53,905 --> 00:00:58,577
A government is a body of people,
usually, notably, ungoverned.

17
00:00:58,743 --> 00:01:00,454
Now you're quoting the captain.

18
00:01:00,620 --> 00:01:03,999
I'm just wondering if they
put her through this...

19
00:01:04,166 --> 00:01:07,461
...just to see how much
she could take.

20
00:01:07,627 --> 00:01:11,465
To truly "meet her,"
as Shan Yu would have said.

21
00:01:11,631 --> 00:01:16,636
No. The more I see, the more I think
their purpose was very specific.

22
00:01:17,012 --> 00:01:19,514
And look at this. The pattern.

23
00:01:21,266 --> 00:01:24,686
If they just wanted to hurt River,
they wouldn't still be after her.

24
00:01:24,895 --> 00:01:28,565
- But she's doing better.
- I've tried a couple different medications.

25
00:01:28,732 --> 00:01:32,319
She's sleeping better,
but nothing really stable.

26
00:01:32,527 --> 00:01:33,945
I'll keep trying.

27
00:01:34,112 --> 00:01:36,031
Certainly got enough drugs on hand.

28
00:01:36,239 --> 00:01:40,619
Yes, I'd forgotten you're moonlighting
as a criminal mastermind now.

29
00:01:40,827 --> 00:01:43,079
Got your next heist planned?

30
00:01:43,246 --> 00:01:44,998
No.

31
00:01:45,165 --> 00:01:48,877
But I'm thinking about growing
a big, black mustache.

32
00:01:49,044 --> 00:01:50,962
I'm a traditionalist.

33
00:02:04,726 --> 00:02:07,145
Hold, please.

34
00:02:07,312 --> 00:02:11,900
So now we are past the preliminaries.
The little questions.

35
00:02:12,067 --> 00:02:15,070
Why you skim from protection fund.

36
00:02:15,278 --> 00:02:17,823
How you could betray my trust.

37
00:02:18,031 --> 00:02:20,575
This we are past.

38
00:02:20,742 --> 00:02:24,287
Now we get to the real questions...

39
00:02:24,496 --> 00:02:26,456
...about who you truly are.

40
00:02:26,623 --> 00:02:27,874
I'm sorry, sir.

41
00:02:28,083 --> 00:02:33,130
I get to heart of matter,
and always, interruptions!

42
00:02:33,296 --> 00:02:37,217
One of our long-ranges picked up a read
on the other side of the world.

43
00:02:37,384 --> 00:02:41,096
<i>Might be Serenity,
Malcolm Reynolds' ship.</i>

44
00:02:41,263 --> 00:02:46,393
Oh, this is exciting news.

45
00:02:46,601 --> 00:02:48,520
Send a team.

46
00:02:48,687 --> 00:02:50,522
Bring him here to me.

47
00:02:50,730 --> 00:02:52,482
Very exciting.

48
00:02:52,649 --> 00:02:54,484
Yes, sir.

49
00:02:57,070 --> 00:02:59,281
Now...

50
00:02:59,448 --> 00:03:05,829
...we get to spend some time
finding out about your true self.

51
00:03:06,413 --> 00:03:07,622
Tell me.

52
00:03:09,875 --> 00:03:14,629
Are you familiar
with the works of Shan Yu?

53
00:04:12,646 --> 00:04:15,440
I said yes already.
Where's the outstanding issue?

54
00:04:15,607 --> 00:04:18,527
The councilor's an important
political figure and a private-

55
00:04:18,693 --> 00:04:21,196
So he comes here,
instead of you going to his place.

56
00:04:21,363 --> 00:04:23,115
What, is the ship not clean enough?

57
00:04:23,323 --> 00:04:25,534
I just want the councilor
to feel comfortable.

58
00:04:25,700 --> 00:04:28,161
And when I say comfortable,
I mean totally alone.

59
00:04:31,748 --> 00:04:34,876
Oh, the pitter-patter of tiny feet
in huge combat boots.

60
00:04:35,043 --> 00:04:36,294
Shut up!

61
00:04:36,962 --> 00:04:39,965
There's nobody sets foot
on my boat that I don't meet them.

62
00:04:40,257 --> 00:04:43,468
Don't worry, I won't start any
sword fights. I'm over that phase.

63
00:04:44,636 --> 00:04:47,973
I'd appreciate it if you'd keep
the others from ogling.

64
00:04:48,306 --> 00:04:51,226
One of you is gonna fall and die,
and I'm not cleaning it up.

65
00:04:51,601 --> 00:04:53,061
She took my apple.

66
00:04:53,270 --> 00:04:55,897
- Jayne bought a crate of them.
- And this one's mine.

67
00:04:56,064 --> 00:04:57,732
Not anymore.

68
00:05:04,114 --> 00:05:06,074
Oh, okay.

69
00:05:07,534 --> 00:05:11,788
No power in the 'verse can stop me.

70
00:05:14,916 --> 00:05:18,753
These really are the genuine article.
I could get used to being rich.

71
00:05:18,962 --> 00:05:22,549
It's Jayne being so generous
with this cut confuses and frightens me.

72
00:05:23,091 --> 00:05:24,801
It does kind of freeze the blood.

73
00:05:25,135 --> 00:05:27,762
Zoe, how come you always
cut your apples?

74
00:05:27,929 --> 00:05:30,682
- You do?
- Her and the captain both.

75
00:05:30,849 --> 00:05:34,436
Whenever we get fresh fruit,
they never just munch on them.

76
00:05:34,603 --> 00:05:36,396
Know what a Griswold is?

77
00:05:36,605 --> 00:05:38,774
A grenade.
- About the size of a battery.

78
00:05:38,940 --> 00:05:41,067
It responds to pressure.

79
00:05:41,359 --> 00:05:44,237
Our platoon was stuck in a trench
outside of New Kasmir...

80
00:05:44,404 --> 00:05:46,823
...during the Winter Campaign.
More than a week...

81
00:05:46,990 --> 00:05:51,495
...completely cut off, and the Alliance
entrenched not 10 yards away.

82
00:05:51,661 --> 00:05:53,288
We even got to talking to them.

83
00:05:53,455 --> 00:05:55,791
Yelling across insults and jokes
and such...

84
00:05:55,957 --> 00:06:00,629
...because no ammo to speak of,
no orders, so, what are you gonna do?

85
00:06:00,921 --> 00:06:04,841
We mentioned that we were out
of rations, and 10 minutes later...

86
00:06:05,008 --> 00:06:07,969
...a bunch of apples rained
into the trench.

87
00:06:08,178 --> 00:06:09,638
And they grew into a big tree.

88
00:06:09,805 --> 00:06:12,474
And they all climbed up the tree
into a magical land...

89
00:06:12,682 --> 00:06:14,726
...with unicorns and a harp.

90
00:06:16,645 --> 00:06:18,980
Blew off their heads, huh?

91
00:06:19,147 --> 00:06:22,192
Captain said, "Wait. "
But they were so hungry.

92
00:06:23,777 --> 00:06:25,070
Don't make much noise.

93
00:06:25,278 --> 00:06:30,492
Just little pops, and there's three guys
that kind of just end at the rib cage.

94
00:06:30,826 --> 00:06:33,203
But these apples are healthsome, good.

95
00:06:33,370 --> 00:06:35,747
Yeah, grenades cost extra.

96
00:06:35,914 --> 00:06:39,126
We are about 20,000 miles
from our last drop, people.

97
00:06:39,292 --> 00:06:42,587
Then we can take a break and think
about spending some of this money.

98
00:06:42,754 --> 00:06:44,005
All right!
Yeah!

99
00:06:44,256 --> 00:06:45,423
Could've made more.

100
00:06:45,882 --> 00:06:47,968
That wasn't a bad idea, Wash.

101
00:06:48,176 --> 00:06:51,221
But eliminating the middleman,
never as simple as it sounds.

102
00:06:51,596 --> 00:06:52,639
You heard about-?

103
00:06:52,806 --> 00:06:54,975
Half of the human race is middlemen...

104
00:06:55,142 --> 00:06:56,977
<i>...and they don't like being eliminated.</i>

105
00:06:57,185 --> 00:07:00,647
This quadrant, we play nice.
Got enemies enough as it is.

106
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:07,821
So when you said that you didn't get
a chance to tell the captain my idea...

107
00:07:07,988 --> 00:07:12,909
Uh-huh.
- ... what you actually meant was...

108
00:07:13,076 --> 00:07:16,371
...that you told him my idea,
he rejected it out of hand...

109
00:07:16,538 --> 00:07:19,749
<i>...and you didn't argue the point
or even give it another thought.</i>

110
00:07:19,916 --> 00:07:21,251
I gave, honey. I-

111
00:07:21,418 --> 00:07:24,129
And then came the lying
to me about it...

112
00:07:24,337 --> 00:07:27,424
...which for me, is the highlight
of this little adventure.

113
00:07:27,591 --> 00:07:30,135
Am I gonna get out of this
with honor and dignity?

114
00:07:30,343 --> 00:07:32,888
You're pretty much down
to ritual suicide, lambie-toes.

115
00:07:33,430 --> 00:07:34,723
I didn't want to upset you.

116
00:07:35,724 --> 00:07:37,267
What did you think of it?

117
00:07:37,476 --> 00:07:40,270
- Of what?
- My idea.

118
00:07:40,437 --> 00:07:44,816
Call the local MDs. Forget the fence,
go straight to the source.

119
00:07:44,983 --> 00:07:48,904
Better prices, and we know
the drugs get to the right people.

120
00:07:49,571 --> 00:07:53,658
Captain thinks it'll get back
to someone, just cause trouble.

121
00:07:58,789 --> 00:08:02,083
Was I ever not asking
what the captain thought?!

122
00:08:03,251 --> 00:08:06,129
- Well, I tend to agree with him.
- Tend to, or have to?

123
00:08:07,130 --> 00:08:09,299
I love that you two
are old army buddies...

124
00:08:09,466 --> 00:08:11,468
...you have wacky stories
with rib cages...

125
00:08:11,635 --> 00:08:14,638
...but could you have an opinion
of your own, please?

126
00:08:15,555 --> 00:08:18,183
You're losing the high ground
here, sweetcakes.

127
00:08:18,391 --> 00:08:21,478
I'm sure you and Mal will take
that hill and fortify it with-

128
00:08:21,853 --> 00:08:24,981
I thought your plan was too risky.

129
00:08:25,190 --> 00:08:27,818
- I thought.
- Then tell me.

130
00:08:28,026 --> 00:08:31,613
I am a large, semimuscular man.

131
00:08:31,780 --> 00:08:35,784
I can take it. Don't hide behind Mal,
he'll shoot it down for you. Tell me.

132
00:08:35,951 --> 00:08:39,996
Right. Because what this marriage
needs is one more shouting match.

133
00:08:40,205 --> 00:08:43,125
No, what this marriage
needs is one less husband.

134
00:08:45,919 --> 00:08:48,338
Right now, it's kind of crowded.

135
00:08:58,265 --> 00:09:01,852
Whoa.

136
00:09:02,394 --> 00:09:05,730
- How you doing?
- I threw up.

137
00:09:05,939 --> 00:09:07,566
I'm sorry, it's a side effect.

138
00:09:08,442 --> 00:09:11,695
We just have to find
the right treatment for you.

139
00:09:11,862 --> 00:09:15,615
- How do you feel now?
- Going...

140
00:09:16,241 --> 00:09:17,826
Going back like...

141
00:09:19,035 --> 00:09:22,289
...apple bits, coming back up.

142
00:09:22,831 --> 00:09:24,583
Chaos.

143
00:09:24,749 --> 00:09:27,377
But you felt okay this morning?

144
00:09:28,462 --> 00:09:29,921
Played with Kaylee.

145
00:09:31,214 --> 00:09:35,469
The sun came out,
and I walked on my feet...

146
00:09:35,635 --> 00:09:39,097
...and heard with my ears.

147
00:09:39,473 --> 00:09:41,767
I ate the bits, the bits that stay down.

148
00:09:41,933 --> 00:09:45,479
And I work, I function like I'm a girl.

149
00:09:46,396 --> 00:09:50,150
I hate it because I know
it'll go away.

150
00:09:50,358 --> 00:09:55,322
The sun grows dark
and chaos has come again.

151
00:09:55,489 --> 00:09:58,408
Bits, fluids.

152
00:09:58,575 --> 00:10:00,952
What am I?

153
00:10:02,704 --> 00:10:05,957
You are my beautiful sister.

154
00:10:10,003 --> 00:10:11,797
I threw up on your bed.

155
00:10:15,592 --> 00:10:16,635
Yep.

156
00:10:17,344 --> 00:10:19,721
Definitely my sister.

157
00:10:25,644 --> 00:10:28,396
Didn't Inara express a wish for privacy?

158
00:10:28,563 --> 00:10:31,316
We gotta see who she's got.

159
00:10:31,775 --> 00:10:33,652
Bet he's handsome.

160
00:10:33,819 --> 00:10:36,738
Think he's gonna bring her flowers.

161
00:10:39,699 --> 00:10:42,369
Oh, there he is.

162
00:10:42,828 --> 00:10:46,123
Well, he looks the respectable sort.

163
00:10:46,998 --> 00:10:50,252
Welcome aboard.
I'm Captain Malcolm.

164
00:10:58,343 --> 00:11:00,846
We're all clear here, councilor.

165
00:11:17,237 --> 00:11:21,116
- Huh.
- Oh, my.

166
00:11:21,575 --> 00:11:23,201
Oh, gosh, I-

167
00:11:23,743 --> 00:11:28,707
I knew she took female clients.
I just...

168
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,170
They look so glamorous together.

169
00:11:34,337 --> 00:11:36,798
I'll be in my bunk.

170
00:11:46,641 --> 00:11:50,729
I'll be glad to see the last
of it. Makes us a target-

171
00:11:50,896 --> 00:11:53,565
Was River in here messing around?

172
00:11:53,732 --> 00:11:56,318
The ignition sequence
is all turned about.

173
00:11:56,485 --> 00:11:58,528
- I can't even-
- I can.

174
00:11:59,196 --> 00:12:01,323
Well, get it set, Wash.
We gotta get moving.

175
00:12:01,615 --> 00:12:04,785
Here's a funny twist. No.

176
00:12:05,327 --> 00:12:07,370
- No what?
- No, sir.

177
00:12:08,205 --> 00:12:09,414
Change the sequence?

178
00:12:09,831 --> 00:12:13,794
Didn't want you taking off without me.
In fact, didn't want you taking off at all.

179
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,506
Thought I might take this run instead.
Me and the captain.

180
00:12:17,714 --> 00:12:21,092
The captain who's standing right here
telling you that's not gonna happen?

181
00:12:21,259 --> 00:12:24,054
Well, it's a dangerous mission, sir.

182
00:12:24,221 --> 00:12:27,682
I can't stand the thought of something
happening that might cause you...

183
00:12:27,849 --> 00:12:31,853
...to come back with another thrilling
tale of bonding and adventure.

184
00:12:32,062 --> 00:12:35,524
- I just can't take that right now.
- Okay...

185
00:12:35,690 --> 00:12:39,444
<i>...I'm lost, I'm angry and I'm armed.</i>

186
00:12:39,611 --> 00:12:42,823
- So if you have something you need to-
It's all right, sir.

187
00:12:42,989 --> 00:12:45,867
We've dealt with Bosh before.
It shouldn't be a problem.

188
00:12:48,578 --> 00:12:51,414
And I wouldn't mind
sitting this one out.

189
00:12:52,124 --> 00:12:53,917
Oh, this is a:

190
00:12:55,627 --> 00:12:57,504
But I don't have time to unwind it.

191
00:12:57,671 --> 00:12:59,339
Wash.

192
00:12:59,923 --> 00:13:01,174
Get her started.

193
00:13:01,675 --> 00:13:03,051
Zoe, ship is yours.

194
00:13:03,593 --> 00:13:05,637
Bye, hon.

195
00:13:05,804 --> 00:13:08,723
We promise not to stop
for beers with the fellas.

196
00:13:11,685 --> 00:13:13,395
So...

197
00:13:13,562 --> 00:13:16,815
...are we gonna sing army songs
or something?

198
00:13:31,413 --> 00:13:33,039
That feels amazing.

199
00:13:35,208 --> 00:13:39,254
Oh, right there.
Oh, that's perfect.

200
00:13:39,921 --> 00:13:42,716
- I should have done this weeks ago.
- Hmm.

201
00:13:42,883 --> 00:13:45,469
I wouldn't have been here weeks ago.

202
00:13:45,635 --> 00:13:47,512
And that would have been a shame.

203
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:49,097
For me as well.

204
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,685
You have such beautiful skin.

205
00:13:59,399 --> 00:14:01,443
There's no need for this show, Inara.

206
00:14:02,402 --> 00:14:06,573
I just need to relax with someone
who's making no demands on me.

207
00:14:07,657 --> 00:14:10,744
Most of my clientele is male.
Do you know that?

208
00:14:12,454 --> 00:14:13,955
No.

209
00:14:15,248 --> 00:14:17,626
If I choose a woman...

210
00:14:17,793 --> 00:14:22,005
...she tends to be extraordinary
in some way.

211
00:14:22,172 --> 00:14:27,260
And the fact is, I occasionally have
the exact same need you do.

212
00:14:27,427 --> 00:14:30,931
One cannot always be oneself
in the company of men.

213
00:14:31,098 --> 00:14:33,225
Never, actually.

214
00:14:33,391 --> 00:14:38,688
So no show.
Let's just enjoy ourselves.

215
00:14:41,316 --> 00:14:43,568
You are so lovely.

216
00:14:59,918 --> 00:15:04,381
- Look, this thing with you and Zoe-
- I'm not looking to talk on that topic.

217
00:15:04,589 --> 00:15:09,219
<i>Hey, I let that niou-se trick of yours
slide because this is a milk run.</i>

218
00:15:09,428 --> 00:15:13,432
But when I go on a mission, I'm taking
Zoe and that's the drill. You know that.

219
00:15:13,598 --> 00:15:18,186
- What if we get into a situation here?
- I've been in a firefight before.

220
00:15:18,395 --> 00:15:19,771
Well, I was in a fire.

221
00:15:21,273 --> 00:15:26,695
Actually, I was fired
from a fry-cook opportunity.

222
00:15:26,862 --> 00:15:28,321
I can handle myself.

223
00:15:28,530 --> 00:15:31,074
And you understand
what Zoe's job entails.

224
00:15:31,241 --> 00:15:34,286
I'll learn as I go.

225
00:15:35,871 --> 00:15:37,914
So now I'm learning about carrying.

226
00:15:56,266 --> 00:15:58,268
Nice to know you're still trustworthy.

227
00:15:58,477 --> 00:16:02,147
But not so trustworthy I don't want
to see the money you promised me.

228
00:16:08,278 --> 00:16:12,032
Can't believe you guys knocked
over an Alliance hospital.

229
00:16:12,199 --> 00:16:15,243
- The pair you have.
- Yeah.

230
00:16:15,410 --> 00:16:17,162
Stuff legends are-

231
00:16:30,217 --> 00:16:32,511
Now I'm learning about scary.

232
00:17:11,925 --> 00:17:14,052
I'll be in my bunk.

233
00:17:14,219 --> 00:17:16,388
Jayne, grab your weapon.

234
00:17:16,596 --> 00:17:19,141
- Why, what's going on?
- Maybe nothing. Maybe trouble.

235
00:17:19,349 --> 00:17:20,434
- The drop?
- They're late.

236
00:17:20,642 --> 00:17:23,186
They should have been
back more than an hour ago.

237
00:17:23,395 --> 00:17:25,313
We go by ground.
We'll take the mule.

238
00:17:25,522 --> 00:17:27,023
I'll go with you.

239
00:17:28,316 --> 00:17:31,069
No offense, but I sure hope
they don't need a preacher.

240
00:17:31,278 --> 00:17:33,405
Three sets of eyes
are better than two.

241
00:17:33,613 --> 00:17:35,532
Might see something you don't.

242
00:17:38,410 --> 00:17:40,537
Let's move.

243
00:17:47,586 --> 00:17:49,087
None of them's ours.

244
00:17:50,922 --> 00:17:53,967
This is precision work. Sharpshooters.

245
00:17:54,760 --> 00:18:00,140
From the look of these wounds,
I'd say a 54-R sniper rifle, laser sights.

246
00:18:00,348 --> 00:18:02,434
You do a lot of shooting at the abbey?

247
00:18:02,934 --> 00:18:04,770
Rabbits.

248
00:18:04,936 --> 00:18:06,688
For stew, sure.

249
00:18:07,647 --> 00:18:10,108
Whoever did this,
they weren't after the goods.

250
00:18:14,821 --> 00:18:16,656
We ain't gonna find them here.

251
00:18:16,823 --> 00:18:19,451
They're off the planet already.

252
00:18:20,535 --> 00:18:24,664
Only one type of transport
I know makes a mark like this.

253
00:18:24,831 --> 00:18:26,333
Fast-burn rocket-shuttle.

254
00:18:26,541 --> 00:18:29,085
Craft like that not commonly
part of a ship.

255
00:18:29,252 --> 00:18:32,547
- More likely we're looking at-
- Space station.

256
00:18:34,341 --> 00:18:36,635
I know who's got them.

257
00:18:52,609 --> 00:18:54,778
I think I've been kidnapped.
Yeah.

258
00:18:54,945 --> 00:18:57,114
You see where we are?
No.

259
00:18:57,739 --> 00:19:00,867
Mal, what the hell is going on?
- Ain't rightly sure.

260
00:19:01,034 --> 00:19:04,246
- But you've got some theories.
- Still working it through.

261
00:19:04,412 --> 00:19:08,208
I don't want you to spare me. If you
know what's happening, then tell me.

262
00:19:08,375 --> 00:19:11,253
You wouldn't spare Zoe
if she were with you, would you?

263
00:19:11,461 --> 00:19:15,674
You would be planning and plotting
and possibly scheming.

264
00:19:15,841 --> 00:19:18,885
So whatever Zoe would do
in this instance is what I wanna do.

265
00:19:19,302 --> 00:19:20,345
And you know why?

266
00:19:20,512 --> 00:19:25,517
Because no matter how ugly it gets, you
two always come back with the stories.

267
00:19:25,684 --> 00:19:29,771
<i>So I'm Zoe. Now...</i>

268
00:19:30,272 --> 00:19:31,398
...what do I do?

269
00:19:31,606 --> 00:19:33,817
Probably not talk quite so much.

270
00:19:33,984 --> 00:19:35,861
Right. Less talking.

271
00:19:36,445 --> 00:19:39,239
She's terse. I can be terse.

272
00:19:39,406 --> 00:19:43,618
Once in flight school, I was laconic.

273
00:19:46,538 --> 00:19:48,832
If I'm not gonna talk,
then you have to.

274
00:19:48,999 --> 00:19:53,211
- We just gotta keep our heads.
- Right. Keep our heads.

275
00:19:53,795 --> 00:19:57,757
That way we'll be able to,
you know...

276
00:19:57,924 --> 00:19:59,634
...keep our heads.

277
00:19:59,843 --> 00:20:02,596
You and Zoe been in plenty
of situations like this before.

278
00:20:02,763 --> 00:20:05,223
- Many a time.
- Many a time, you and Zoe.

279
00:20:05,432 --> 00:20:07,017
Once we know who took us-

280
00:20:07,184 --> 00:20:12,439
Zoe and you, together in a tricky...

281
00:20:13,398 --> 00:20:16,276
- Mal, she's my wife.
- Huh?

282
00:20:16,443 --> 00:20:19,905
What gives you the right to put her
in a dangerous situation like this?

283
00:20:20,071 --> 00:20:22,157
I didn't.
- You did.

284
00:20:22,324 --> 00:20:25,076
- She ain't here, Wash.
- No, but she would've been.

285
00:20:25,243 --> 00:20:27,788
<i>- Okay.
- I mean, I'm the one that she swore...</i>

286
00:20:27,954 --> 00:20:30,624
- ... to love, honor and obey.
- Listen-

287
00:20:30,791 --> 00:20:32,167
She swore to obey?

288
00:20:33,794 --> 00:20:36,004
Well, no, not-

289
00:20:37,339 --> 00:20:39,341
But that's just my point.
You, she obeys.

290
00:20:39,841 --> 00:20:43,512
She obeys you. There's obeying
going on right under my nose.

291
00:20:43,678 --> 00:20:47,265
Look, Zoe and I have a history.
She trusts me.

292
00:20:47,432 --> 00:20:49,351
- What's that supposed to mean?
- Nothing.

293
00:20:49,518 --> 00:20:52,687
You're making out like she follows
my every word. That ain't true.

294
00:20:52,854 --> 00:20:54,189
- Sure it is.
- Not so.

295
00:20:54,356 --> 00:20:56,775
There's plenty orders of mine
that she didn't obey.

296
00:20:56,942 --> 00:20:58,819
- Name one.
- She married you!

297
00:21:16,294 --> 00:21:17,671
What?

298
00:21:19,256 --> 00:21:21,967
- Here's all I got left.
- Thanks.

299
00:21:22,175 --> 00:21:23,260
Jayne.

300
00:21:23,468 --> 00:21:25,887
How do you know he won't just
grab you as well?

301
00:21:26,304 --> 00:21:30,559
Don't think that's like to happen.
I walk in there unarmed, make the offer.

302
00:21:31,351 --> 00:21:32,811
This guy has his own code.

303
00:21:33,270 --> 00:21:37,107
Twisted as it may be.
Very excited about reputation.

304
00:21:37,315 --> 00:21:40,402
- He'll see reason.
Reason? He's a gangster.

305
00:21:40,610 --> 00:21:43,613
The money he paid you for that
other job was returned to him.

306
00:21:43,780 --> 00:21:46,283
Could be he's harboring
some resentment at us.

307
00:21:46,450 --> 00:21:48,160
Putting his man through our engine.

308
00:21:50,662 --> 00:21:52,330
Wait a reasonable amount of time.

309
00:21:52,539 --> 00:21:56,501
<i>If you don't hear back, you take
Serenity and get out of this quadrant.</i>

310
00:21:56,710 --> 00:21:58,128
<i>This don't play out right...</i>

311
00:21:58,295 --> 00:22:01,465
<i>...there's no guarantee he won't
come looking for the rest of you.</i>

312
00:22:13,268 --> 00:22:14,561
<i>I'm not...</i>

313
00:22:14,770 --> 00:22:16,438
...gonna say it...

314
00:22:16,938 --> 00:22:18,148
...again.

315
00:22:18,315 --> 00:22:21,193
Shipboard romances complicate things.

316
00:22:21,401 --> 00:22:23,570
- For who? For you?
- For everyone.

317
00:22:25,447 --> 00:22:27,115
Well...

318
00:22:27,282 --> 00:22:28,658
...what about love?

319
00:22:32,287 --> 00:22:35,290
I ain't against it as a rule.

320
00:22:35,457 --> 00:22:39,169
I mean, in situations such as ours,
it tends to cause problems.

321
00:22:39,336 --> 00:22:42,130
It splits loyalties.

322
00:22:42,297 --> 00:22:45,008
- Know what I think?
- What?

323
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,559
What, Wash? What do you think?
Because I'm interested.

324
00:22:54,893 --> 00:22:58,647
This policy you got against
shipboard relationships...

325
00:22:58,814 --> 00:23:03,610
<i>...that's just you projecting your
own intimacy issues on everyone else.</i>

326
00:23:09,741 --> 00:23:12,119
Of course, could be a lot simpler
than that.

327
00:23:12,285 --> 00:23:16,081
Could be I just don't think
you're good enough for Zoe.

328
00:23:16,248 --> 00:23:19,084
- I don't give a gorram what you think.
- Oh, don't you?

329
00:23:19,292 --> 00:23:21,545
Zoe and I, we got a history.

330
00:23:21,711 --> 00:23:23,839
And I figure you gotta be
asking yourself...

331
00:23:24,047 --> 00:23:28,260
...some fundamental questions
as to the nature of that history.

332
00:23:28,468 --> 00:23:30,303
You never slept with my wife.

333
00:23:30,470 --> 00:23:32,556
That a fact?
You know that for sure, do you?

334
00:23:32,722 --> 00:23:34,975
You ever ask her?

335
00:23:38,395 --> 00:23:40,981
We been together a long time
before you came along.

336
00:23:41,189 --> 00:23:45,527
And she's a damn fine-looking woman.

337
00:23:46,445 --> 00:23:49,531
Never happened.
Know how I know?

338
00:23:49,739 --> 00:23:53,076
How? Tell me.

339
00:23:53,243 --> 00:23:56,246
This whole captain thing
isn't Zoe's trouble.

340
00:23:56,955 --> 00:24:00,417
It's "the guy she never slept with" thing.

341
00:24:00,584 --> 00:24:02,919
Mal, I wish you had slept with her.

342
00:24:03,086 --> 00:24:05,088
Then at least she'd be over it.

343
00:24:05,297 --> 00:24:06,756
You want me to sleep with her?

344
00:24:06,923 --> 00:24:08,925
- Would that make you feel better?
- It might.

345
00:24:09,092 --> 00:24:11,303
I imagine it would do wonders
for her too.

346
00:24:11,762 --> 00:24:15,140
- Screw you.
- Get in line.

347
00:24:20,437 --> 00:24:23,523
Okay, Wash, I'm gonna do it.

348
00:24:23,732 --> 00:24:26,860
Wash. Wash, listen.

349
00:24:27,027 --> 00:24:28,612
First thing when we get back-

350
00:24:28,820 --> 00:24:30,447
Listen to me!

351
00:24:30,614 --> 00:24:33,492
The first thing when we get back...

352
00:24:33,658 --> 00:24:36,328
<i>- ... I'm gonna take your wife into my bed.
- Yeah?</i>

353
00:24:36,495 --> 00:24:38,914
I'm gonna get me a piece of-

354
00:24:59,726 --> 00:25:01,812
I'm unarmed.

355
00:25:04,397 --> 00:25:06,191
I wanna talk to Niska.

356
00:25:10,987 --> 00:25:12,114
Huh.

357
00:25:58,493 --> 00:26:00,704
No, no, no.

358
00:26:01,705 --> 00:26:03,290
Run. Run.

359
00:26:05,375 --> 00:26:07,502
Five times what you paid
for the train job.

360
00:26:07,711 --> 00:26:11,715
Yes, you have had, you say,
good times.

361
00:26:12,090 --> 00:26:13,675
I see that.

362
00:26:13,842 --> 00:26:16,011
Should be more than enough
to buy back my men.

363
00:26:16,470 --> 00:26:18,889
- This is your opinion, is it?
- It is.

364
00:26:19,389 --> 00:26:22,350
They are perhaps damaged now.

365
00:26:22,559 --> 00:26:25,687
- Are they worth so much to you?
- Yes.

366
00:26:26,688 --> 00:26:29,441
And to me, they are worth more.

367
00:26:30,233 --> 00:26:32,444
I think this is not enough.

368
00:26:32,778 --> 00:26:34,321
Not enough for two.

369
00:26:34,863 --> 00:26:38,492
But sufficient perhaps for one.

370
00:26:38,658 --> 00:26:40,202
- You now have-
- Him.

371
00:26:42,954 --> 00:26:45,957
I'm sorry. You were going
to ask me to choose, right?

372
00:26:46,666 --> 00:26:48,418
Do you wanna finish?

373
00:26:55,884 --> 00:26:59,262
He is yours. We are ended now.

374
00:27:02,724 --> 00:27:05,477
- Mal?
Just keep walking.

375
00:27:09,397 --> 00:27:11,608
A moment please.

376
00:27:11,817 --> 00:27:14,236
This money, it is too much.

377
00:27:18,824 --> 00:27:21,368
You should have some small refund.

378
00:27:37,634 --> 00:27:40,303
Now we are ended.

379
00:28:06,621 --> 00:28:08,748
He's insane.

380
00:28:08,915 --> 00:28:13,003
- I know.
- I mean, you told the damn stories.

381
00:28:13,170 --> 00:28:15,464
Saved you in the war.

382
00:28:16,423 --> 00:28:18,341
I didn't know.

383
00:28:18,508 --> 00:28:21,303
- You mean Mal?
- He's crazy.

384
00:28:22,345 --> 00:28:25,348
He wouldn't break, Zoe.
He kept me from-

385
00:28:25,515 --> 00:28:26,558
Okay.

386
00:28:26,767 --> 00:28:30,437
- I wouldn't have made it.
- Shh. Shh.

387
00:28:31,062 --> 00:28:33,315
This is gonna kill him.

388
00:28:33,482 --> 00:28:35,650
He's gonna make it last
as long as possible.

389
00:28:37,444 --> 00:28:39,070
Days, if he can.

390
00:28:44,701 --> 00:28:46,620
Bastard's not gonna get days.

391
00:29:02,719 --> 00:29:04,805
- Thank God you're safe.
- What happened?

392
00:29:04,971 --> 00:29:06,681
How bad is it?
I'm fine.

393
00:29:06,973 --> 00:29:09,101
Where's Mal?
- Niska wouldn't let him go.

394
00:29:09,309 --> 00:29:11,311
- Is he alive?
- For now.

395
00:29:11,478 --> 00:29:14,606
Take that to the infirmary.
Put it on ice.

396
00:29:14,981 --> 00:29:16,358
What is that?

397
00:29:19,069 --> 00:29:20,278
It's his ear.

398
00:29:23,448 --> 00:29:26,785
- We're getting him back.
- What are we gonna do, clone him?

399
00:29:26,952 --> 00:29:28,036
Well, it's a clean cut.

400
00:29:28,203 --> 00:29:31,414
With the right equipment,
I should be able to re-attach it.

401
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,751
That's assuming there's a head.

402
00:29:38,630 --> 00:29:42,926
Do you know the writings
of a Shan Yu?

403
00:29:44,594 --> 00:29:46,721
Are you starting a book club?

404
00:29:46,888 --> 00:29:49,558
Or what, are you trying to torture me?

405
00:29:51,226 --> 00:29:53,687
Yes, today we meet you.

406
00:29:53,854 --> 00:29:57,149
And you're quite a man,
an extraordinary man, yes.

407
00:29:57,315 --> 00:30:01,194
But these are not times
for extraordinary men.

408
00:30:01,778 --> 00:30:03,280
Business is not war.

409
00:30:03,447 --> 00:30:06,616
Heroics are unseemly,
they complicate.

410
00:30:08,285 --> 00:30:10,912
For you, I have...

411
00:30:11,079 --> 00:30:15,333
...special machine.

412
00:30:17,627 --> 00:30:20,547
Very precious.

413
00:30:20,714 --> 00:30:24,384
And they say people
don't look like their pets.

414
00:30:24,551 --> 00:30:29,765
Well, let us see if we can meet
the real you.

415
00:30:46,406 --> 00:30:49,743
Here, six shots and then just drop it.
Keep moving.

416
00:30:51,703 --> 00:30:53,079
This here is suicide.

417
00:30:53,288 --> 00:30:54,581
You know that, don't you?

418
00:30:55,332 --> 00:30:58,168
You really think you can mount
a two-man frontal assault...

419
00:30:58,335 --> 00:31:00,170
<i>...on Niska's Skyplex and live?</i>

420
00:31:00,337 --> 00:31:04,216
Technically, it's a one-man,
one-woman assault. A unisex.

421
00:31:04,674 --> 00:31:07,552
- Grenades?
- Oh, yes. Thank you, dear.

422
00:31:08,303 --> 00:31:11,515
- He won't be expecting it.
- Right, because they ain't insane.

423
00:31:11,932 --> 00:31:14,976
I just got a wave from Inara.

424
00:31:15,185 --> 00:31:17,145
No luck with the councilor.

425
00:31:17,896 --> 00:31:19,689
What are they doing?

426
00:31:19,856 --> 00:31:21,566
Fixing to get themselves killed.

427
00:31:22,192 --> 00:31:26,947
- We're gonna go get the captain.
- Oh, good.

428
00:31:27,531 --> 00:31:30,492
- Can they do that?
- No.

429
00:31:31,576 --> 00:31:32,786
You know...

430
00:31:32,953 --> 00:31:34,704
<i>...there's a certain motto.</i>

431
00:31:34,913 --> 00:31:38,583
A creed among folks like us.
You may have heard it.

432
00:31:38,750 --> 00:31:41,169
"Leave no man behind. "

433
00:31:42,712 --> 00:31:43,755
Suicide.

434
00:31:43,922 --> 00:31:46,758
Got a good look at the layout
on the way in last time.

435
00:31:46,925 --> 00:31:49,511
You let me lead. Cover my...

436
00:31:49,678 --> 00:31:50,971
...back.

437
00:31:51,138 --> 00:31:52,848
What's this?

438
00:31:53,014 --> 00:31:54,683
We're going with you.

439
00:31:54,891 --> 00:31:57,394
If it were any one of us,
captain wouldn't hesitate.

440
00:31:57,561 --> 00:31:59,104
Here you go.

441
00:31:59,271 --> 00:32:01,481
- This should do.
- Preacher...

442
00:32:01,648 --> 00:32:05,110
<i>...don't the Bible have some pretty
specific things to say about killing?</i>

443
00:32:05,277 --> 00:32:06,361
Quite specific.

444
00:32:06,528 --> 00:32:10,323
It is, however, somewhat fuzzy
around the subject of kneecaps.

445
00:32:10,532 --> 00:32:12,534
If you look for me to talk you out of it...

446
00:32:17,164 --> 00:32:18,206
What?

447
00:32:19,749 --> 00:32:21,418
Let's go get the captain.

448
00:32:25,130 --> 00:32:27,883
Yep. He's dead.

449
00:32:34,097 --> 00:32:35,724
Mr. Reynolds?

450
00:32:36,391 --> 00:32:39,019
You died, Mr. Reynolds.

451
00:32:39,227 --> 00:32:41,104
Seemed like the thing to do.

452
00:32:42,105 --> 00:32:48,612
When you die, I can't hurt you anymore.
And I want two days at least. Minimum.

453
00:32:48,820 --> 00:32:53,366
I think many people know the name
Malcolm Reynolds.

454
00:32:53,533 --> 00:32:56,620
And many know he crossed Niska.

455
00:32:56,828 --> 00:33:02,042
They must know
what happens after that.

456
00:33:04,711 --> 00:33:08,673
They must know
that business is still running.

457
00:33:17,307 --> 00:33:18,767
You think this will work.

458
00:33:18,934 --> 00:33:22,646
Well, except for the com static,
I'm piping out on all frequencies.

459
00:33:22,813 --> 00:33:26,691
We've been powered down since I fired
the attitude thrusters a half-hour ago.

460
00:33:26,858 --> 00:33:30,237
We'll show up on their screen
as a glitch if they aren't looking close.

461
00:33:30,403 --> 00:33:34,825
- What if they are looking too close?
- Hell, I'm just glad we're on course.

462
00:33:34,991 --> 00:33:40,455
It's like throwing a dart, Jayne,
and hitting a bull's-eye 6000 miles away.

463
00:33:40,622 --> 00:33:42,082
That's my man.

464
00:33:42,249 --> 00:33:44,251
You guys better get down to the bay.

465
00:33:44,459 --> 00:33:47,295
We'll be at their front door
in less than a minute.

466
00:33:49,423 --> 00:33:52,050
I'm right behind you, baby.

467
00:34:07,190 --> 00:34:10,444
Book, you good?
- Yes, ma'am. Ready when you are.

468
00:34:10,610 --> 00:34:12,612
How you doing on that
override sequence?

469
00:34:12,779 --> 00:34:16,950
Pretty sure this will pop their air-lock
doors if Wash can get a seal his first try.

470
00:34:17,117 --> 00:34:20,704
I'm smelling a lot of if coming
off this plan.

471
00:34:20,871 --> 00:34:22,539
You could've stayed in your bunk.

472
00:34:22,706 --> 00:34:24,249
Could've, should've, would've.

473
00:34:24,416 --> 00:34:25,917
We're set.

474
00:34:26,084 --> 00:34:29,379
Okay, people. If it moves, shoot it.

475
00:34:29,588 --> 00:34:33,049
- Unless it's the captain.
Unless it's the captain.

476
00:34:55,614 --> 00:34:57,491
Listen...

477
00:34:57,741 --> 00:35:00,076
...if you got guests,
I can come back later.

478
00:35:22,140 --> 00:35:23,266
Ah!

479
00:35:25,602 --> 00:35:27,479
Move, move, move. Take cover!

480
00:35:34,027 --> 00:35:36,655
Second team, hold this position.

481
00:35:36,863 --> 00:35:38,740
We lose this ground, we lose it all.

482
00:35:38,949 --> 00:35:40,700
You're going to hold this ground.

483
00:35:42,244 --> 00:35:43,787
Understand me?

484
00:35:47,249 --> 00:35:49,251
- Understood.
- Okay then.

485
00:36:28,081 --> 00:36:30,292
Viktor, what is it?

486
00:36:30,625 --> 00:36:33,253
- Viktor!
- Ah!

487
00:36:43,013 --> 00:36:46,850
Looks like business ain't running
so much as crawling away.

488
00:36:47,267 --> 00:36:50,645
You wanna meet the real me now?

489
00:36:52,314 --> 00:36:54,065
Gorram it!

490
00:36:55,484 --> 00:36:56,902
Ah!

491
00:37:11,625 --> 00:37:12,876
Ah!

492
00:37:13,085 --> 00:37:14,711
Book, we...

493
00:37:30,060 --> 00:37:32,896
Get behind us, preacher.
We need cover.

494
00:37:35,148 --> 00:37:36,733
Don't think, just shoot.

495
00:37:57,295 --> 00:37:59,005
Can't look. Can't look.

496
00:38:14,771 --> 00:38:18,150
No power in the 'verse can stop me.

497
00:38:50,098 --> 00:38:53,810
Haven't you killed me
enough for one day?

498
00:39:05,197 --> 00:39:09,618
Jayne, this is something the captain
has to do for himself.

499
00:39:09,785 --> 00:39:11,912
No. No, it's not.
- Oh.

500
00:39:35,143 --> 00:39:37,771
You sure this thing's gonna stay on?

501
00:39:38,271 --> 00:39:40,774
This dermal mender creates
an excellent tissue bond.

502
00:39:40,941 --> 00:39:43,401
It should be fine.
Just don't fiddle with it.

503
00:39:44,861 --> 00:39:47,405
Be sure to thank the councilor for me.

504
00:39:47,572 --> 00:39:51,118
Awful nice of her to pull some strings
and lend us this equipment.

505
00:39:51,284 --> 00:39:53,286
Least she could do.

506
00:39:53,453 --> 00:39:57,874
- I just wish you'd killed that old bastard.
- I got regrets on that score myself.

507
00:39:58,500 --> 00:40:00,460
So...

508
00:40:00,627 --> 00:40:04,548
...I hear you all took up arms
in that little piece of action back there.

509
00:40:06,591 --> 00:40:09,219
How you faring with that, doctor?

510
00:40:10,429 --> 00:40:14,057
I don't know.
I never shot anyone before.

511
00:40:14,224 --> 00:40:15,976
I was there, son.

512
00:40:16,143 --> 00:40:18,520
I'm fair sure you haven't
shot anyone yet.

513
00:40:59,561 --> 00:41:03,774
Hmm. Wife's soup.
I must have done good.

514
00:41:04,274 --> 00:41:07,986
Yes, dear. You done good.

515
00:41:08,570 --> 00:41:10,363
Ow.

516
00:41:11,406 --> 00:41:14,117
- Did you tell her?
- Tell her what?

517
00:41:14,534 --> 00:41:16,661
Your husband has demanded
we sleep together.

518
00:41:17,078 --> 00:41:18,121
Really?

519
00:41:18,330 --> 00:41:20,499
What-? Mal, come on.

520
00:41:20,707 --> 00:41:24,127
He thinks it would get all this
burning sexual tension out in the open.

521
00:41:24,294 --> 00:41:26,963
You know, make a fair fight
for your womanly affections.

522
00:41:27,130 --> 00:41:30,634
No, that was the torture talking,
remember the torture?

523
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:35,305
<i>I know it's a difficult mission...</i>

524
00:41:35,514 --> 00:41:36,973
...but you and I...

525
00:41:37,724 --> 00:41:39,392
...have to get it on.

526
00:41:40,852 --> 00:41:43,355
I understand. We have no choice.

527
00:41:45,315 --> 00:41:46,900
Take me, sir. Take me hard.

528
00:41:47,109 --> 00:41:49,945
Now, something about that is
just downright unsettling.

529
00:41:56,034 --> 00:41:57,410
We'll be in our bunk.

530
00:41:59,162 --> 00:42:00,831
Oh.

531
00:42:05,627 --> 00:42:07,170
Oh, hey. Free soup.
