1
00:00:20,121 --> 00:00:22,123
We're all just floating.
2
00:00:28,838 --> 00:00:32,133
You couldn't possibly-
No, I wish I was lying.
3
00:00:32,300 --> 00:00:35,678
I just, you know,
we'd all just made surgeon.
4
00:00:35,845 --> 00:00:40,016
That was it. We were the elite.
The world was ours, you know.
5
00:00:40,183 --> 00:00:41,643
So you had to be naked?
6
00:00:41,809 --> 00:00:46,648
Naked, yes. And on top
of the statue of Hippocrates.
7
00:00:48,691 --> 00:00:51,861
Can you just picture me?
What, naked?
8
00:00:52,028 --> 00:00:55,865
Oh, well, let's see,
I'm gonna have to conjure up...
9
00:00:56,032 --> 00:00:58,451
Yeah, that's gonna be difficult.
10
00:01:00,703 --> 00:01:04,582
- So did the Feds come?
- There were no Feds.
11
00:01:04,999 --> 00:01:08,461
- Until I started singing.
- Oh, no...
12
00:01:08,628 --> 00:01:11,214
- No, this is not-
- What did you sing?
13
00:01:11,381 --> 00:01:16,552
This is not funny. This is a
morality tale about the evils of sake.
14
00:01:20,431 --> 00:01:22,892
I would be there right now.
15
00:01:25,395 --> 00:01:27,563
I mean, it was-
It was either-
16
00:01:27,730 --> 00:01:30,858
It was either that
or the national anthem.
17
00:01:31,025 --> 00:01:34,028
- Reports vary.
- You don't remember any of this?
18
00:01:34,195 --> 00:01:38,574
I remember talking the Feds
out of telling my father.
19
00:01:38,741 --> 00:01:41,244
Or paying the Feds
out of telling my father.
20
00:01:41,411 --> 00:01:43,496
I get fuzzy on aspects.
21
00:01:54,424 --> 00:01:56,259
So, like, never?
22
00:01:56,426 --> 00:01:58,386
Well...
23
00:01:58,553 --> 00:01:59,971
...no.
24
00:02:00,138 --> 00:02:02,473
Not ever never?
25
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:08,813
Some orders allow shepherds to marry,
but I follow a narrower path.
26
00:02:10,023 --> 00:02:14,777
But, I mean, you still got the urge?
They don't cut it off or nothing?
27
00:02:14,944 --> 00:02:17,864
No. I'm more or less intact.
28
00:02:18,031 --> 00:02:21,242
I just direct
my energy elsewhere.
29
00:02:21,784 --> 00:02:24,287
You mean, like masturbating?
30
00:02:24,454 --> 00:02:27,874
I hope you're not thinking
of taking orders yourself.
31
00:02:28,041 --> 00:02:29,667
Yeah, that'll be the day.
32
00:02:30,585 --> 00:02:33,546
I got stupid.
The money was too good.
33
00:02:33,713 --> 00:02:36,758
I don't give half a hump
if you're innocent or not.
34
00:02:36,924 --> 00:02:39,093
So where does that put you?
35
00:02:40,053 --> 00:02:43,222
It ain't impossible. Saint Jayne.
It's got a ring to it.
36
00:02:43,389 --> 00:02:47,018
I'm just trying to remember
how many miracles you've performed.
37
00:02:47,185 --> 00:02:49,729
I once hit a guy from 500 yards
with a bent scope.
38
00:02:49,896 --> 00:02:54,025
- Don't that count upstairs?
- Oh, it'll be taken into consideration.
39
00:02:54,192 --> 00:02:57,362
You made that
sound kind of ominous.
40
00:03:33,439 --> 00:03:35,692
I put out waves
to some old acquaintances.
41
00:03:35,858 --> 00:03:39,237
I may even find something in
New Melbourne if you need the shuttle.
42
00:03:39,404 --> 00:03:41,531
I'll only be there to pick up cargo.
43
00:03:41,698 --> 00:03:45,326
The only thing you're gonna find there
is fish and fish-related activities.
44
00:03:45,493 --> 00:03:49,205
So unless you got the overwhelming urge
to gut sturgeon, and who hasn't?
45
00:03:49,372 --> 00:03:52,292
But it's a layover point
for almost every planet.
46
00:03:52,458 --> 00:03:56,504
I could...
I just don't want to draw this out.
47
00:03:56,671 --> 00:03:59,090
Have you decided
when you'll tell the others?
48
00:03:59,257 --> 00:04:02,719
I... No.
49
00:04:03,678 --> 00:04:09,017
- I appreciate your not saying anything.
- Well, I don't, so make up your mind.
50
00:04:09,183 --> 00:04:11,436
I'm a big girl. Just tell me.
51
00:04:11,603 --> 00:04:14,272
None of it means a damn thing.
52
00:04:41,299 --> 00:04:46,471
It's just an object.
It doesn't mean what you think.
53
00:04:48,598 --> 00:04:50,266
- Stay calm!
You know that's...
54
00:04:50,433 --> 00:04:52,727
Stop yelling.
That's gonna make it worse.
55
00:04:52,894 --> 00:04:54,938
River. Sweetheart. Put it down.
56
00:04:55,104 --> 00:04:57,273
Where did you get that?
Don't yell.
57
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:58,608
It was in my hand.
58
00:04:58,775 --> 00:05:00,735
I'm not mad, just let me-
Thank you.
59
00:05:03,196 --> 00:05:07,325
Fully loaded, safety off.
This here is a recipe for unpleasantness.
60
00:05:07,492 --> 00:05:10,745
- Does she understand that?
- She understands.
61
00:05:10,912 --> 00:05:13,122
She doesn't comprehend.
62
00:05:13,706 --> 00:05:18,419
I'm glad we've made that distinction.
No touching guns, okay?
63
00:05:18,878 --> 00:05:21,172
No touching.
64
00:05:21,339 --> 00:05:25,093
- River-
RlvER: It's getting very, very crowded!
65
00:05:25,259 --> 00:05:27,637
Thought she was on the mend.
66
00:05:27,804 --> 00:05:29,514
Her medications are erratic.
67
00:05:29,681 --> 00:05:32,809
There's not one that her system
can't eventually break down and-
68
00:05:32,976 --> 00:05:36,604
If I want a lot of medical jargon,
I'll talk to a doctor.
69
00:05:36,771 --> 00:05:40,316
- You are talking to a doctor.
- Yeah. Okay.
70
00:05:40,483 --> 00:05:43,444
My point is, it could have been you
she might have shot.
71
00:05:43,611 --> 00:05:47,323
The doctor, as you just made note of.
And who exactly could fix you?
72
00:05:47,490 --> 00:05:49,242
Not nobody.
73
00:05:49,409 --> 00:05:51,911
We're deep in space,
corner of No and Where.
74
00:05:52,078 --> 00:05:54,414
You take extra care with her...
75
00:05:54,580 --> 00:05:56,749
...because we're very much alone
out here.
76
00:07:25,588 --> 00:07:29,300
Little River gets more colorful
by the moment. What'll she do next?
77
00:07:29,467 --> 00:07:32,595
Either blow us all up
or rub soup in our hair. It's a tossup.
78
00:07:32,762 --> 00:07:34,264
I hope she does the soup thing.
79
00:07:34,430 --> 00:07:36,766
It's always a hoot,
and we don't all die from it.
80
00:07:36,933 --> 00:07:39,310
- That poor kid.
- Yeah.
81
00:07:39,477 --> 00:07:41,187
She's definitely got-
82
00:07:41,354 --> 00:07:43,564
- Funny.
- Something wrong?
83
00:07:43,731 --> 00:07:45,942
I'm getting a weird heat bounce
off our wake.
84
00:07:46,109 --> 00:07:48,820
- Engine flux?
- Sensors probably got turned around-
85
00:07:48,987 --> 00:07:51,990
She can only get in there
if she knows the combination.
86
00:07:52,156 --> 00:07:54,325
I don't leave loaded guns around.
87
00:07:54,492 --> 00:07:56,452
She got her hands
on your hardware.
88
00:07:56,619 --> 00:07:59,330
Suppose she took up something
with hull-piercing bullets.
89
00:07:59,497 --> 00:08:02,542
Bullets are soft lead. Even Vera
could barely breach the hull...
90
00:08:02,709 --> 00:08:04,877
...and she's the best I got.
Now...
91
00:08:05,044 --> 00:08:08,006
...let's move the conversation
in "not Jayne's fault" direction.
92
00:08:08,172 --> 00:08:11,426
I didn't make her crazy.
Hell, I didn't even want her on the ship.
93
00:08:12,719 --> 00:08:15,888
Is that the direction you want
this conversation to go in?
94
00:08:16,055 --> 00:08:19,517
Just don't want to take a lashing
for something I ain't the cause of.
95
00:08:19,684 --> 00:08:21,269
Where is River now?
- Her room.
96
00:08:21,436 --> 00:08:23,813
Which I'm thinking of bolting
from the outside.
97
00:08:23,980 --> 00:08:25,523
That's a little extreme.
98
00:08:25,690 --> 00:08:28,026
Remember her coming at me
with a butcher's knife?
99
00:08:28,484 --> 00:08:31,070
- Wacky fun.
- You wanna go, little man?
100
00:08:31,237 --> 00:08:33,197
Only if it's someplace
with candlelight.
101
00:08:33,364 --> 00:08:35,491
I don't think she'd harm anyone.
102
00:08:35,658 --> 00:08:37,744
Butcher's knife!
- Anyone we can't spare.
103
00:08:37,910 --> 00:08:41,289
As far as we know, she's never
even picked up a gun before.
104
00:08:41,456 --> 00:08:42,749
That ain't so.
105
00:08:45,335 --> 00:08:48,921
Kaylee, you got something to say?
106
00:09:55,697 --> 00:09:59,033
Okay, Kaylee,
why don't you speak your piece?
107
00:09:59,867 --> 00:10:03,454
It was when the captain and Wash
got took by Niska.
108
00:10:03,746 --> 00:10:06,749
I ain't like to forget that
anytime soon.
109
00:10:06,916 --> 00:10:09,627
Well, we all went in. Me too.
110
00:10:10,670 --> 00:10:13,256
Didn't make much account
of myself, I'm afraid.
111
00:10:13,423 --> 00:10:16,134
I got no problem with
you not killing nobody.
112
00:10:16,301 --> 00:10:18,761
What's it to do with River?
She wasn't in the fight.
113
00:10:18,928 --> 00:10:21,097
Well, no, she was.
114
00:10:21,264 --> 00:10:26,352
I got pinned down, and there
were three guys, and I couldn't...
115
00:10:28,855 --> 00:10:31,232
And then River comes up.
116
00:10:31,399 --> 00:10:34,444
She looks out, sees them all.
117
00:10:34,652 --> 00:10:37,447
And they was spread out, you know,
had some cover.
118
00:10:37,739 --> 00:10:40,950
She only looked
for a second, and...
119
00:10:41,784 --> 00:10:45,538
...took my gun,
closed her eyes...
120
00:10:46,748 --> 00:10:48,041
...killed them.
121
00:10:51,586 --> 00:10:52,754
She shot them?
122
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,633
All three. Dead in an instant.
And their eyes still closed.
123
00:10:56,799 --> 00:10:59,260
Well, that's...
You saw it wrong.
124
00:10:59,427 --> 00:11:03,681
Not a jot.
And it weren't auto-fire, or luck.
125
00:11:03,973 --> 00:11:07,810
She just...
She just did the math.
126
00:11:08,728 --> 00:11:10,480
You understand how that sounds?
127
00:11:10,647 --> 00:11:13,483
She killed them with math.
What else could it have been?
128
00:11:13,650 --> 00:11:17,487
You couldn't have done it, Jayne.
Nor you, captain.
129
00:11:17,654 --> 00:11:20,657
Nobody can shoot like that
that's a person.
130
00:11:21,366 --> 00:11:23,159
So River's not a person?
131
00:11:24,285 --> 00:11:26,454
Oh, please, don't be mad.
132
00:11:26,621 --> 00:11:29,540
I just want to understand
what you're saying here.
133
00:11:29,707 --> 00:11:31,376
I thought River was your friend.
134
00:11:31,542 --> 00:11:35,296
She is! But, Simon, the way she...
135
00:11:35,463 --> 00:11:38,341
Right after, she looked at me...
136
00:11:38,549 --> 00:11:43,471
...and she smiled,
like nothing was wrong.
137
00:11:44,514 --> 00:11:46,349
Like we were playing.
138
00:11:48,142 --> 00:11:49,727
Scared me.
139
00:11:51,771 --> 00:11:53,898
Could be she saved
your life, Kaylee.
140
00:11:54,065 --> 00:11:55,984
I'm aware of that,
and I'm not-
141
00:11:56,150 --> 00:11:58,486
She probably didn't even know
what was going on.
142
00:11:58,653 --> 00:11:59,988
Thought it was a game.
143
00:12:00,446 --> 00:12:02,657
Later on, explain to me
how that's a comfort.
144
00:12:03,157 --> 00:12:05,201
Might have to use
some of that math.
145
00:12:05,368 --> 00:12:07,996
What we've got here to deal with
is the larger issue.
146
00:12:08,162 --> 00:12:12,542
And that larger issue is, we've got
someone onboard this ship...
147
00:12:12,709 --> 00:12:14,294
...might be a danger to us.
148
00:12:14,460 --> 00:12:16,337
Ain't a question
of whether we like her.
149
00:12:16,504 --> 00:12:18,423
Some of us have grown
attached to River.
150
00:12:18,589 --> 00:12:20,967
Kaylee, you have,
or you would have spoken sooner.
151
00:12:21,134 --> 00:12:23,303
Which, by the by,
you should have.
152
00:12:23,469 --> 00:12:26,097
I find River pleasant enough
myself...
153
00:12:26,306 --> 00:12:28,474
...but she does have
an oddness to her.
154
00:12:28,933 --> 00:12:32,645
And I ain't just talking about
her proficiency with firearms.
155
00:12:32,812 --> 00:12:34,856
The girl knows things.
156
00:12:35,023 --> 00:12:37,775
Things she shouldn't.
Things she couldn't.
157
00:12:37,942 --> 00:12:40,111
What, are you saying
she's a witch?
158
00:12:40,278 --> 00:12:44,324
Yes, Jayne. She's a witch.
She has had congress with the Beast.
159
00:12:44,782 --> 00:12:47,118
She's in Congress?
160
00:12:47,285 --> 00:12:50,496
How did your brain
even learn human speech?
161
00:12:50,663 --> 00:12:52,332
I'm just so curious.
162
00:12:54,667 --> 00:12:57,920
This isn't a joking matter.
This is about our lives and River's.
163
00:12:58,087 --> 00:12:59,130
Thank you.
164
00:13:01,674 --> 00:13:05,511
She's deeply intuitive.
It's true that sometimes-
165
00:13:05,678 --> 00:13:08,640
I don't think she's intuitive, doctor.
I think she's a reader.
166
00:13:09,515 --> 00:13:12,477
- Psychic?
- Is that even remotely possible?
167
00:13:12,644 --> 00:13:14,437
You tell me.
168
00:13:15,021 --> 00:13:17,815
You've been studying
what they've done to her.
169
00:13:18,942 --> 00:13:23,279
Well, they've definitely altered
the way she reacts to things.
170
00:13:23,446 --> 00:13:25,365
Even the way she perceives.
But I'm not-
171
00:13:25,531 --> 00:13:28,743
Psychic, though? That sounds like
something out of science fiction.
172
00:13:28,910 --> 00:13:31,412
- You live in a spaceship, dear.
- So?
173
00:13:31,579 --> 00:13:35,541
Back up a second. Are you saying
she really reads minds?
174
00:13:35,708 --> 00:13:38,795
Or near enough.
Am I alone thinking along these lines?
175
00:13:39,754 --> 00:13:40,797
No.
176
00:13:40,964 --> 00:13:44,384
Well, I don't like the idea of someone
hearing what I'm thinking.
177
00:13:44,550 --> 00:13:47,095
No one likes the idea
of hearing what you're thinking.
178
00:13:47,262 --> 00:13:50,056
The Alliance could have
any number of uses for a psychic.
179
00:13:50,348 --> 00:13:52,934
A psychic. Or an assassin.
180
00:13:54,394 --> 00:13:55,812
She's just a kid.
181
00:13:58,564 --> 00:14:01,901
And she just wants
to be a kid.
182
00:14:02,777 --> 00:14:04,237
I wish it were that simple.
183
00:14:04,404 --> 00:14:06,990
Yeah. If wishes were horses,
we'd all be eating steak.
184
00:14:07,156 --> 00:14:11,035
- What do we plan to do about this?
- Well, that's the question.
185
00:14:12,662 --> 00:14:15,915
I don't think
she'd ever hurt any of us.
186
00:14:17,250 --> 00:14:19,085
Maybe you're right.
187
00:14:20,795 --> 00:14:24,340
I ain't gonna make a decision
till I thought on it a while.
188
00:14:24,507 --> 00:14:26,384
It's late.
189
00:14:27,343 --> 00:14:29,095
Let's get some rest.
190
00:14:35,476 --> 00:14:37,478
- Simon...
- I gotta check on my assassin.
191
00:14:37,645 --> 00:14:40,315
Oh, please don't be mad.
I had to say something.
192
00:14:40,481 --> 00:14:42,567
I'm not mad at you.
193
00:14:44,527 --> 00:14:46,404
I just...
194
00:14:47,989 --> 00:14:50,074
She loves this ship.
195
00:14:51,743 --> 00:14:54,829
I think it's more home to her
than any place she's been.
196
00:14:56,623 --> 00:14:58,583
What about you?
197
00:15:01,002 --> 00:15:02,712
I mean, I...
198
00:15:03,630 --> 00:15:06,090
I thought the hospital was home.
199
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,678
I was really making
a difference there...
200
00:15:12,347 --> 00:15:15,308
...and embarrassingly large
stacks of money.
201
00:15:15,475 --> 00:15:17,477
And I could've...
202
00:15:19,020 --> 00:15:21,981
I would be there right now
if she hadn't-
203
00:15:24,025 --> 00:15:26,819
If they had just left her alone.
204
00:15:30,907 --> 00:15:32,867
Is it so bad here?
205
00:15:35,078 --> 00:15:36,955
I don't even know if the captain-
206
00:15:37,121 --> 00:15:39,624
No, I mean...
207
00:15:40,917 --> 00:15:45,296
Isn't there anything
about this place you're glad of?
208
00:15:57,558 --> 00:16:00,061
Good night, you two.
209
00:16:03,398 --> 00:16:06,276
- I...
- Don't. Yeah, I...
210
00:16:07,026 --> 00:16:08,486
Good night.
211
00:16:09,529 --> 00:16:12,365
Don't let the space bugs bite.
212
00:16:17,370 --> 00:16:19,455
Space bugs?
213
00:18:43,766 --> 00:18:45,810
River?
214
00:18:53,776 --> 00:18:55,403
River?
215
00:19:05,830 --> 00:19:07,498
I like this ship.
216
00:19:08,124 --> 00:19:11,878
Serenity. She's good-looking.
217
00:19:13,671 --> 00:19:16,633
How did you get on...?
218
00:19:16,799 --> 00:19:21,137
Strains the mind a bit, don't it?
You think you're all alone.
219
00:19:21,596 --> 00:19:24,349
Maybe I come down the chimney,
Kaylee.
220
00:19:24,515 --> 00:19:28,895
Bring presents
to the good girls and boys.
221
00:19:29,062 --> 00:19:34,025
Maybe not though.
Maybe I've always been here.
222
00:19:35,109 --> 00:19:36,653
What do you want?
223
00:19:39,906 --> 00:19:43,409
That's a beating heart, isn't it?
224
00:19:43,576 --> 00:19:46,704
Pull off any one of 1000 parts,
she'll just die.
225
00:19:47,580 --> 00:19:50,541
Such a slender thread.
226
00:19:52,210 --> 00:19:54,212
You ever been raped?
227
00:19:58,049 --> 00:20:00,969
The captain is right down that hallway.
He can hear you.
228
00:20:01,135 --> 00:20:03,596
The captain's locked in his quarters.
229
00:20:03,763 --> 00:20:05,723
They all are.
230
00:20:06,474 --> 00:20:09,727
There's nobody can help you.
231
00:20:09,894 --> 00:20:11,437
Say it.
232
00:20:13,606 --> 00:20:18,403
There's nobody can help me.
233
00:20:19,821 --> 00:20:22,448
I'm gonna tie you up now.
234
00:20:22,824 --> 00:20:25,368
And you know
what I'm gonna do then?
235
00:20:26,953 --> 00:20:32,125
I'm gonna give you a present.
Get rid of a problem you've got.
236
00:20:32,292 --> 00:20:37,046
And I won't touch you in any
wrong fashion, nor hurt you at all.
237
00:20:37,797 --> 00:20:40,258
Unless you make some kind of ruckus.
238
00:20:41,050 --> 00:20:44,596
You throw a monkey wrench
into my dealings in any way...
239
00:20:44,762 --> 00:20:46,764
...your body is forfeit.
240
00:20:48,808 --> 00:20:51,185
It ain't nothing but a body to me...
241
00:20:51,644 --> 00:20:55,481
...and I can find all unseemly manner
of use for it.
242
00:20:56,649 --> 00:20:58,610
Do you understand?
243
00:20:59,694 --> 00:21:01,446
Yes.
244
00:21:03,281 --> 00:21:05,491
Turn around and put your hands
behind your back.
245
00:21:05,658 --> 00:21:06,993
Oh...
246
00:21:13,625 --> 00:21:19,255
Now tell me, Kaylee,
where does River sleep?
247
00:21:31,851 --> 00:21:33,519
Hello?
248
00:22:05,969 --> 00:22:07,303
River?
249
00:22:24,112 --> 00:22:28,658
Dr. Tam,
why don't you sit yourself down.
250
00:22:30,201 --> 00:22:34,455
- I'd rather die standing.
- Well, the intention is not for you to die.
251
00:22:34,622 --> 00:22:39,043
The warrant doesn't specify a particular
need for you to be alive, but...
252
00:22:48,219 --> 00:22:49,971
Where's your sister?
253
00:22:50,513 --> 00:22:51,764
Are you Alliance?
254
00:22:51,931 --> 00:22:53,850
- Am I a lion?
- What?
255
00:22:54,642 --> 00:22:56,811
I don't think of myself as a lion.
256
00:22:56,978 --> 00:23:00,064
You might as well, though.
I have a mighty roar.
257
00:23:00,857 --> 00:23:04,360
- I said "Alliance. "
- Oh. I thought...
258
00:23:04,527 --> 00:23:06,779
- No, I was...
- That's weird.
259
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,076
- Where's your sister?
- I don't know.
260
00:23:12,243 --> 00:23:13,411
Who do you work for?
261
00:23:13,578 --> 00:23:15,622
- This is her room.
- Yes.
262
00:23:16,247 --> 00:23:18,708
- It's empty.
- I know.
263
00:23:18,875 --> 00:23:21,169
So is it still her room
when it's empty?
264
00:23:21,336 --> 00:23:26,341
Does the room, the thing, have purpose?
Or do we...?
265
00:23:27,550 --> 00:23:31,346
- What's the word?
- I really can't help you.
266
00:23:31,512 --> 00:23:33,556
The plan is to take your sister.
267
00:23:33,723 --> 00:23:36,392
Get the reward,
which is substantial.
268
00:23:36,559 --> 00:23:39,562
"Imbue," that's the word.
269
00:23:39,729 --> 00:23:44,609
- So you're a bounty hunter?
- No, that ain't it at all.
270
00:23:44,776 --> 00:23:49,530
- Then what are you?
- I'm a bounty hunter.
271
00:23:49,697 --> 00:23:52,659
I'm named Early.
272
00:23:52,825 --> 00:23:54,911
I'm known to some.
273
00:23:55,870 --> 00:24:00,416
Been tracking you since the Feds
were tipped off on Ariel.
274
00:24:00,583 --> 00:24:03,336
- She sleep with anybody?
- River?
275
00:24:03,503 --> 00:24:06,506
Yeah. She grapple with any of the crew?
May be in their quarters.
276
00:24:06,673 --> 00:24:08,341
No.
277
00:24:08,508 --> 00:24:11,094
Maybe she does
and you don't know about it.
278
00:24:11,261 --> 00:24:15,807
This is insane. I'm not gonna
help you find her, in any case.
279
00:24:19,686 --> 00:24:24,941
I think this is very pretty.
I like the weight of it.
280
00:24:25,942 --> 00:24:28,194
I thought the intention
was not to kill me.
281
00:24:28,361 --> 00:24:32,615
You're missing the point.
282
00:24:32,782 --> 00:24:38,579
The design of the thing
is functional.
283
00:24:41,332 --> 00:24:45,753
The plan is not to shoot you.
The plan is to get the girl.
284
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:51,092
If there's no girl, then the plan,
well, is like the room.
285
00:24:53,094 --> 00:24:55,221
You are gonna help me look for her.
286
00:24:56,055 --> 00:25:00,476
I don't think my last act in this 'verse
is gonna be betraying my sister.
287
00:25:00,643 --> 00:25:02,395
You're gonna help me.
288
00:25:02,562 --> 00:25:06,899
Because every second you're with me
is a chance to turn the tables...
289
00:25:07,066 --> 00:25:08,818
...to get the better of me.
290
00:25:09,360 --> 00:25:13,156
Maybe you'll find your moment.
Maybe I'll slip.
291
00:25:13,323 --> 00:25:16,451
Or you refuse to help me...
292
00:25:16,618 --> 00:25:20,121
...I shoot your brain out and I go upstairs
and spend some time...
293
00:25:20,288 --> 00:25:24,792
...violating the little mechanic
I got trussed up in the engine room.
294
00:25:25,209 --> 00:25:30,548
I take no pleasure in the thought, but
she will die weeping if you cross me.
295
00:25:32,133 --> 00:25:33,927
You're out of your mind.
296
00:25:35,094 --> 00:25:39,015
That's between me and my mind.
Let's start with these rooms.
297
00:25:45,521 --> 00:25:49,192
He's not killed. Be a while before
he comes to, but he'll mend.
298
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:53,112
How much a part of your plan dictated
the need of beating up a shepherd?
299
00:25:53,279 --> 00:25:55,782
That ain't a shepherd.
300
00:26:00,536 --> 00:26:04,749
She wouldn't come in here anyway.
She hates this room.
301
00:26:04,916 --> 00:26:06,668
You see, Early...
302
00:26:06,834 --> 00:26:12,131
...the people you're planning to sell her
to cut up her brain in a lab like this.
303
00:26:12,298 --> 00:26:15,260
Tortured her. A teenaged girl.
304
00:26:15,426 --> 00:26:18,930
- Not some bandit, just an innocent-
- Ever been shot?
305
00:26:20,682 --> 00:26:24,769
- No.
- You ought to be shot.
306
00:26:24,936 --> 00:26:28,189
Or stabbed. Lose a leg.
307
00:26:28,356 --> 00:26:30,566
To be a surgeon, you know.
308
00:26:30,733 --> 00:26:33,611
Know what kind of pain
you're dealing with.
309
00:26:33,778 --> 00:26:36,155
They make psychiatrists
get psychoanalyzed...
310
00:26:36,322 --> 00:26:38,408
...before they can get certified...
311
00:26:38,574 --> 00:26:41,411
...but they don't make
a surgeon get cut on.
312
00:26:41,577 --> 00:26:42,912
That seem right to you?
313
00:26:58,136 --> 00:27:02,849
Come on out, River.
The nice man wants to kidnap you.
314
00:27:03,016 --> 00:27:04,601
Shh.
315
00:27:06,227 --> 00:27:09,022
I like the way the walls go out.
316
00:27:09,188 --> 00:27:15,737
Gives you an open feeling.
Firefly's a good design.
317
00:27:17,196 --> 00:27:20,158
People don't appreciate
the substance of things.
318
00:27:20,325 --> 00:27:23,411
Objects in space.
319
00:27:23,911 --> 00:27:26,789
People miss out on what's solid.
320
00:27:30,293 --> 00:27:33,004
It's not your moment, doctor.
321
00:27:36,591 --> 00:27:39,928
Is that the companion shuttle?
322
00:27:40,094 --> 00:27:41,971
Yes.
323
00:27:42,138 --> 00:27:46,225
We'll try the empty first.
Then we'll pay her a visit.
324
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:52,523
Her room's not saying a damn thing.
325
00:27:57,654 --> 00:27:59,530
Hold it.
326
00:28:15,505 --> 00:28:17,924
This is pointless, you know that?
327
00:28:18,091 --> 00:28:21,803
Two hundred thousand
seems fairly pointed to me.
328
00:28:21,970 --> 00:28:24,639
Money like that, I could retire.
329
00:28:24,806 --> 00:28:27,225
Not that I would.
330
00:28:28,059 --> 00:28:32,105
- What's life without work?
Serenity's a smuggling ship.
331
00:28:32,272 --> 00:28:35,191
I've been here a year.
I couldn't name where she might hide.
332
00:28:35,358 --> 00:28:38,278
I don't have a year.
333
00:28:38,444 --> 00:28:41,072
Your sister's becoming
a real annoyance.
334
00:28:41,239 --> 00:28:43,324
I feel for you.
335
00:28:50,748 --> 00:28:53,167
I'm not gonna waste my time
threatening you...
336
00:28:53,334 --> 00:28:57,630
...because I think you believe I will kill
people if someone upsets my plan.
337
00:28:57,797 --> 00:29:01,509
I'm gonna seal you in, though.
You just sit.
338
00:29:03,386 --> 00:29:06,556
You can still walk away from this.
I know you're tired.
339
00:29:09,851 --> 00:29:13,229
Don't go visiting my intentions.
340
00:29:14,897 --> 00:29:16,858
Don't ever.
341
00:29:20,653 --> 00:29:23,364
Man is stronger by far
than woman...
342
00:29:23,531 --> 00:29:26,200
...yet only woman can create a child.
343
00:29:26,367 --> 00:29:28,494
Does that seem right to you?
344
00:29:30,997 --> 00:29:35,084
All right. That's all the hide-and-seek
I got time for.
345
00:29:36,419 --> 00:29:38,713
I know you're on this ship,
little girl.
346
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,090
So here's how this goes.
347
00:29:41,257 --> 00:29:46,220
Show yourself and finish this exchange,
or your brother's brains'll be flying.
348
00:29:46,387 --> 00:29:49,974
You understand. I'm sort of
on the clock here. It's frustrating.
349
00:29:50,141 --> 00:29:51,726
You're wrong, Early.
350
00:29:53,811 --> 00:29:56,189
No, dumpling.
I will shoot your brother if you-
351
00:29:56,356 --> 00:30:00,526
Wrong about River.
River's not on the ship.
352
00:30:00,693 --> 00:30:06,491
They didn't want her here,
but she couldn't make herself leave...
353
00:30:06,658 --> 00:30:10,411
...so she melted. Melted away.
354
00:30:12,038 --> 00:30:17,460
They didn't know she could do that,
but she did.
355
00:30:17,627 --> 00:30:21,673
I'm not sure I take
your meaning there.
356
00:30:22,131 --> 00:30:27,053
I'm not on the ship. I'm in the ship.
357
00:30:29,514 --> 00:30:31,057
I am the ship.
358
00:30:32,809 --> 00:30:36,354
- River...
- River's gone.
359
00:30:36,521 --> 00:30:40,191
Then who exactly
are we talking to?
360
00:30:40,358 --> 00:30:43,569
You're talking to Serenity.
361
00:30:43,736 --> 00:30:45,154
And Early...
362
00:30:46,197 --> 00:30:50,076
...Serenity is very unhappy.
363
00:31:03,715 --> 00:31:05,341
Kaylee.
364
00:31:07,510 --> 00:31:08,970
River!
365
00:31:10,221 --> 00:31:11,764
You're afraid.
366
00:31:11,931 --> 00:31:14,767
He tied me up.
367
00:31:14,934 --> 00:31:18,479
- I don't know where he came from.
- It's okay.
368
00:31:18,646 --> 00:31:21,399
You're gonna be okay.
369
00:31:22,150 --> 00:31:25,028
I told him where you were.
370
00:31:25,194 --> 00:31:29,449
I'm sorry. I didn't know
what else to do. I-
371
00:31:29,616 --> 00:31:35,246
I'm fine. I need you to do
something for me.
372
00:31:35,413 --> 00:31:37,165
Gotta be brave.
373
00:31:39,375 --> 00:31:44,380
- I'm tied up. I can't.
- Got tools. Something sharp.
374
00:31:44,547 --> 00:31:47,091
Don't be scared.
375
00:31:47,550 --> 00:31:49,761
I'm right here.
376
00:31:53,723 --> 00:31:55,224
Where'd she go?
377
00:31:55,391 --> 00:31:59,979
I can't keep track of her when she's not
incorporeally possessing a spaceship.
378
00:32:00,146 --> 00:32:03,191
That's nonsensical crap.
Ain't nobody can do that.
379
00:32:03,358 --> 00:32:07,528
You somewhere on this boat.
Somewhere with a 'com, playing games.
380
00:32:11,616 --> 00:32:14,410
That's somewhat unsettling.
381
00:32:14,577 --> 00:32:16,287
Early.
382
00:32:16,454 --> 00:32:20,249
Mr. Jubal Early, bounty hunter.
383
00:32:20,416 --> 00:32:22,460
May I call you Jubal?
384
00:32:22,627 --> 00:32:24,462
Ain't nobody calls me that.
385
00:32:24,629 --> 00:32:27,131
Your mother does.
386
00:32:27,298 --> 00:32:31,594
Oh, sorry. Did. She's gone now.
387
00:32:31,761 --> 00:32:34,597
Is that supposed to scare me,
bringing up my mother?
388
00:32:34,764 --> 00:32:39,811
You're a liar. I don't think
your intentions are honorable.
389
00:32:40,979 --> 00:32:42,647
Well, no. I'm a bounty hunter.
390
00:32:42,814 --> 00:32:45,900
It's not generally considered honorable,
so much as...
391
00:32:46,067 --> 00:32:48,611
I live by a code, though,
which I think is worth-
392
00:32:48,778 --> 00:32:50,822
You hurt people.
393
00:32:50,989 --> 00:32:52,740
Only when the job requires it.
394
00:32:52,907 --> 00:32:57,495
Wrong. You're a bad liar.
You crawl inside me uninvited...
395
00:32:57,662 --> 00:33:00,707
...and you hurt my crew.
I see everything that passes-
396
00:33:00,873 --> 00:33:04,627
I only hurt people because they keep
getting in the way of me finding you.
397
00:33:04,794 --> 00:33:07,046
- Tell her.
- What am I, your advocate?
398
00:33:07,213 --> 00:33:09,215
You are, starting now.
399
00:33:11,342 --> 00:33:15,263
He's really very gentle and fuzzy.
400
00:33:16,264 --> 00:33:17,849
We're becoming fast friends.
401
00:33:20,143 --> 00:33:21,811
You folks are all insane.
402
00:33:21,978 --> 00:33:26,649
Well, my sister's a ship.
We had a complicated childhood.
403
00:33:27,066 --> 00:33:28,234
Doesn't anybody care...
404
00:33:28,401 --> 00:33:31,571
...that I have a finely crafted gun
pointed at this boy's head?
405
00:33:31,738 --> 00:33:33,197
I care.
406
00:33:33,364 --> 00:33:36,200
Then you gonna stop me from
doing what I don't want to?
407
00:33:36,367 --> 00:33:39,162
You gonna be smart here, River?
408
00:33:41,623 --> 00:33:43,416
River?
409
00:33:46,002 --> 00:33:47,879
Serenity?
410
00:33:50,381 --> 00:33:52,717
What the hell's going on here?
411
00:33:52,884 --> 00:33:55,637
I need you to do me
a favor, captain.
412
00:33:55,803 --> 00:33:58,765
There was a guy. He's very blurry.
413
00:33:58,932 --> 00:34:00,308
You better be careful.
414
00:34:01,601 --> 00:34:05,897
How come there's a guy onboard, and
why are you all of a sudden the ship?
415
00:34:06,064 --> 00:34:09,150
- I know you have questions.
- That's why I just asked them.
416
00:34:09,317 --> 00:34:13,363
But there isn't a lot of time, captain.
I need you to trust me.
417
00:34:13,529 --> 00:34:15,239
Am I dreaming?
418
00:34:15,406 --> 00:34:17,450
We all are.
419
00:34:17,617 --> 00:34:20,161
Don't make faces.
420
00:34:22,622 --> 00:34:24,791
Are you ready?
421
00:34:36,427 --> 00:34:38,763
I just have to think here.
422
00:34:38,930 --> 00:34:41,474
These older models have locators at all?
423
00:34:41,641 --> 00:34:42,725
Won't help.
424
00:34:44,769 --> 00:34:48,606
With the exception of one deadly midget,
this girl is the smallest cargo...
425
00:34:48,773 --> 00:34:51,943
...I've ever had to transport,
yet by far the most troublesome.
426
00:34:52,110 --> 00:34:53,695
Does that seem right to you?
427
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:57,740
- What did he do?
- Who?
428
00:34:57,907 --> 00:34:59,534
The midget.
429
00:34:59,701 --> 00:35:01,202
Arson.
430
00:35:01,369 --> 00:35:04,414
Little man loved fire.
431
00:35:24,851 --> 00:35:26,227
I can take this guy out.
432
00:35:26,394 --> 00:35:30,315
He's faster than you.
All of you. And he's wearing armor.
433
00:35:30,481 --> 00:35:33,401
What about his face?
Is his face wearing armor?
434
00:35:33,568 --> 00:35:36,404
No touching guns.
435
00:35:37,655 --> 00:35:39,907
It's soon now. Are you ready?
436
00:35:40,074 --> 00:35:43,578
- How do you know what he's gonna do?
- I'm very close to him.
437
00:35:43,745 --> 00:35:45,997
- He doesn't even see it.
- Okay, but-
438
00:35:46,164 --> 00:35:47,915
Go now!
439
00:35:53,630 --> 00:35:57,050
You're not welcome here
anymore, Early.
440
00:35:57,216 --> 00:35:59,844
Do you think I'm gonna leave here
empty-handed?
441
00:36:00,011 --> 00:36:01,262
I know it.
442
00:36:01,804 --> 00:36:04,557
Yeah, well, you know me real well.
443
00:36:04,724 --> 00:36:09,437
Wish I didn't.
You like to hurt folk.
444
00:36:09,604 --> 00:36:11,481
It's part of the job.
445
00:36:11,648 --> 00:36:14,567
It's why you took the job.
446
00:36:14,734 --> 00:36:19,697
Power, control, pain.
447
00:36:20,740 --> 00:36:23,076
Your mother knew.
448
00:36:23,242 --> 00:36:26,287
Signed "the sinner"
when she waved goodbye.
449
00:36:26,454 --> 00:36:28,706
She's relieved.
450
00:36:28,873 --> 00:36:31,751
Saw darkness in you.
451
00:36:31,918 --> 00:36:34,003
You're not well.
452
00:36:34,170 --> 00:36:36,172
You'll be wanting to shut up now.
453
00:36:36,339 --> 00:36:39,759
Big Golden Retriever
sitting on the lawn.
454
00:36:39,926 --> 00:36:42,595
Never took to you.
455
00:36:42,762 --> 00:36:44,806
Smelling you.
456
00:36:44,973 --> 00:36:47,267
Your neighbor's pet.
457
00:36:47,433 --> 00:36:49,352
You did things to him.
458
00:36:50,270 --> 00:36:52,605
Cleaned up after.
459
00:36:52,772 --> 00:36:55,566
Shined and polished.
460
00:36:55,733 --> 00:36:59,654
Everything in here gleams.
461
00:36:59,821 --> 00:37:02,532
Well, I'll be a son of a whore.
462
00:37:02,699 --> 00:37:05,702
You're not in my mind.
You're on my ship!
463
00:37:10,415 --> 00:37:13,876
It's very interesting,
all these buttons.
464
00:37:14,043 --> 00:37:17,672
Okay. We're not touching those, okay?
465
00:37:17,839 --> 00:37:20,133
- How'd she get on my ship?
- Put the gun away.
466
00:37:20,300 --> 00:37:23,761
Okay. I'm putting it away.
467
00:37:24,762 --> 00:37:27,807
No, he's not.
468
00:37:28,766 --> 00:37:30,435
I'm putting it away...
469
00:37:30,602 --> 00:37:32,562
...because we're all
reasonable people.
470
00:37:32,729 --> 00:37:34,856
Don't want to do anything rash...
471
00:37:35,023 --> 00:37:36,899
...fiddling with any dials.
472
00:37:37,942 --> 00:37:42,572
You're not right, Early.
You're not righteous.
473
00:37:42,739 --> 00:37:45,199
- You've got issues.
- No.
474
00:37:45,366 --> 00:37:50,038
Or, yes. I could have that.
You might have me figured out then.
475
00:37:50,455 --> 00:37:52,957
Good job. I'm not 100 percent.
476
00:37:53,124 --> 00:37:54,417
You talk too much.
477
00:37:55,209 --> 00:37:59,005
I'm flawed in that way.
I sometimes go on, it's been said.
478
00:37:59,172 --> 00:38:00,506
It's okay, Early.
479
00:38:02,508 --> 00:38:04,260
I'm going with you.
480
00:38:05,219 --> 00:38:07,221
River, what are...?
481
00:38:07,388 --> 00:38:11,142
I don't belong. Dangerous, like you.
482
00:38:13,227 --> 00:38:17,357
Can't be controlled.
Can't be trusted.
483
00:38:19,150 --> 00:38:24,489
Everyone can just go on without me
and not have to worry.
484
00:38:24,656 --> 00:38:27,867
People could be
what they wanted to be...
485
00:38:28,493 --> 00:38:32,121
...could be with the people
they wanted.
486
00:38:33,122 --> 00:38:35,375
Could live simple.
487
00:38:36,501 --> 00:38:38,962
No secrets.
488
00:38:40,088 --> 00:38:41,631
No.
489
00:38:41,798 --> 00:38:44,300
I'll be fine.
490
00:38:46,511 --> 00:38:49,889
I'll be your bounty, Jubal Early.
491
00:38:51,474 --> 00:38:54,978
And I'll just fade away.
492
00:38:55,812 --> 00:39:00,525
Well, finally something
goes according to-
493
00:39:01,734 --> 00:39:03,111
Simon?
494
00:39:17,125 --> 00:39:20,378
See? That's what it feels like.
495
00:39:26,342 --> 00:39:28,928
Hang tight, darling.
Early's on the move.
496
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:55,079
Shh. It's okay.
497
00:40:09,636 --> 00:40:14,849
You made the right move, darling.
Best of you to go with old Early.
498
00:40:15,892 --> 00:40:17,101
You think so?
499
00:40:17,727 --> 00:40:19,604
Some of us feel differently.
500
00:40:49,884 --> 00:40:52,011
Permission to come aboard?
501
00:40:53,054 --> 00:40:55,974
You know, you ain't quite right.
502
00:40:57,642 --> 00:40:59,727
It's a popular theory.
503
00:41:00,812 --> 00:41:02,021
Go on, get in there.
504
00:41:02,522 --> 00:41:05,149
Give your brother a thrashing
for messing up your plan.
505
00:41:05,316 --> 00:41:07,402
He takes so much looking after.
506
00:41:11,030 --> 00:41:14,617
To the left. Your left.
507
00:41:14,784 --> 00:41:18,371
Okay, now,
very gently, pull that aside.
508
00:41:18,538 --> 00:41:21,624
This is really not my area
of expertise, doctor.
509
00:41:21,791 --> 00:41:25,920
I tend to be putting these into people
more than the other thing.
510
00:41:26,087 --> 00:41:29,424
Can I mop your brow? I'm at the ready
with the fearsome brow mop.
511
00:41:29,591 --> 00:41:31,092
You got the bullet.
512
00:41:32,427 --> 00:41:38,182
Okay, I'm just gonna pass out
for a minute, but you're doing great.
513
00:41:38,725 --> 00:41:40,393
And we live to fight another day.
514
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:43,605
Any chance that shima lakkoren
might survive?
515
00:41:43,771 --> 00:41:48,192
Air he had left, I'd say his chance
would be about one in...
516
00:41:48,359 --> 00:41:50,278
...a very large number.
517
00:41:50,445 --> 00:41:51,988
He knows that play.
518
00:41:52,905 --> 00:41:54,741
How's your lip?
519
00:42:00,038 --> 00:42:03,082
I just feel such a fool.
520
00:42:03,249 --> 00:42:08,755
All them years of priest training,
taken out by one bounty hunter.
521
00:42:08,922 --> 00:42:11,966
Don't get me wrong.
I gave him a hell of a fight.
522
00:42:12,133 --> 00:42:13,259
Epic, I'm guessing.
523
00:42:13,426 --> 00:42:17,055
They'll be poems and songs.
Just you wait.
524
00:42:17,221 --> 00:42:20,767
Least you got some play.
I missed every damn thing.
525
00:42:20,934 --> 00:42:23,978
And then his folks
come by to fetch him...
526
00:42:24,145 --> 00:42:28,983
...and it turns out
he's, like, 14 years old!
527
00:42:29,150 --> 00:42:31,903
I mean, he must've been
some kind of genetic experiment...
528
00:42:32,070 --> 00:42:35,031
...because I swear this guy was...
529
00:42:35,198 --> 00:42:38,409
Oh, my daddy whupped me so hard.
530
00:42:38,993 --> 00:42:41,955
One of fours.
Let's see you match that.
531
00:42:45,166 --> 00:42:46,209
I can win this.
532
00:42:46,376 --> 00:42:51,297
I'm hearing a lot of talk there, genius.
Come on. Show me what you got.
533
00:43:14,904 --> 00:43:18,741
Yep. Here I am.
