00:00Previously on Battletech
00:03Prepare to be destroyed
00:16Somerset's been attacked
00:18Presenting Major Adam Steiner, Highness, by your request
00:21I hereby volunteer to lead a unit to liberate my homeworld Somerset
00:25Captain Miles Hawkins, Federated Commonwealth
00:28You smugglers are busted
00:30You can continue your duties aboard the drop ship Kwaidan and jump ship Katana
00:34But under my command
00:36This ship is going back where it belongs
00:38The Dracon is coming
00:41They're taking it back in pieces?
00:46You've got jump jets and all we can do is float
00:48Great plan, schoolboy
00:54I will serve under you for now
00:58Welcome to the first Somerset Strikers
01:00This is the inner sphere
01:02Thousands of planets colonized by humankind
01:04Once it was united under the Starlink
01:06But for the last 300 years it has been consumed by savage wars
01:10Until a new enemy appeared
01:14Mysterious invaders known as the Clans
01:18The Clans
01:20Powerful and ruthless
01:21They struck like lightning
01:22Attacking every sector at once
01:24But they made one big mistake
01:26They attacked my home planet
01:28Now in the spirit of the Star League
01:30Ancient enemies have reunited
01:32And we're gonna take back our galaxy
01:34And we're gonna take back our galaxy
01:36To the Resident...
01:38To the Resident Evil
01:40The Shouldern
01:42To the Resident Evil
01:44The Semi
01:46What are the things that are happening?
01:48The Native Heart
01:50The ganze League
01:52The National League
01:54I can think of classier places to scare up mech warriors than this armed pigeon.
02:17In case you forgot, every good pilot's busy fending off the invasion force.
02:21Which leaves us with nobody to fill out our unit.
02:24Except for the low-life mercenaries who hang out on this Kerensky forsaken rock.
02:31Dibus?
02:33Why is it the biggest crooks always stick their names on buildings?
02:36I thought your intelligence division busted that hood.
02:39Yeah, but we never could make any of the charges stick.
02:43Come on! Sounds like trouble.
02:47Run in the streets, people! Security mech's coming through!
02:54Run in the streets, people! Security mech's coming through!
03:01Run in the streets, people!
03:02No!
03:03No!
03:04No!
03:05No!
03:06No!
03:07No!
03:08No!
03:09No!
03:10No!
03:11No!
03:12No!
03:13No!
03:14No!
03:15You're leaving us so soon, Martinez?
03:39Room service not to your liking?
03:45That was the craziest display of reckless mech jockeying I've ever seen.
03:51That's our man.
03:56Lousy feds.
03:58They got no regard to the legitimate businessman.
04:01Trying to shut me down.
04:03And over what?
04:04A few minor infractions?
04:05I am a warrior of Clan Jade Falcon.
04:09The dealings of the merchant cast are of no concern to me.
04:12My point exactly.
04:14With you guys taking charge of this system, I'm thinking I can run things without undue interference.
04:19Plus, you get 10% straight off the top.
04:23Off the books, of course.
04:24Hmm, I will admit the idea of gaining a foothold in this sector intrigues me.
04:29Such a victory would earn me great honor from my galaxy commander.
04:33So, we got a deal?
04:35A deal?
04:36You refer to a trial of possession for your planet, Queer?
04:40Deal, trial, whatever you want to call it.
04:42What forces do you bid to defend yourself?
04:45What do you mean, bid?
04:46All I got is a lance of five mechs.
04:49Very well.
04:50I sure use only two omnimechs.
04:52And we will engage your forces at the hills due north of your city.
04:55Okay.
04:56All you gotta do is waltz in and I'll hand you the keys.
04:59You will address me as Star Colonel Kristen Redmond.
05:03Queer?
05:03Aff?
05:04Sure, whatever.
05:06Hmm.
05:07Aff?
05:08Well bargained.
05:09And done.
05:12What am I offered for one late model Fedrat spy?
05:16Slightly damaged.
05:17How about an even trade, Titus?
05:19Martinez for my battle mech.
05:20Valton, Ryder.
05:22You got some nerve busting in here unannounced.
05:25You think one crummy spy's enough to get your rig out of hot?
05:29Martinez here had enough evidence on him to shut you down, but good, Titus.
05:35Didn't leave yourself much to bargain with, Ryder.
05:39How do you know I didn't make copies?
05:41Oh, and, uh, have him wax it, will ya?
05:46Nobody likes a dull neck.
05:57Bolton, Ryder?
05:59Might be.
06:00You owe him something?
06:01Major Adam Steiner, Captain Miles Hockey's first Somerset strikers.
06:05Major Steiner, huh?
06:07You'd think the name could have brought you a better rank.
06:11Can we talk for a second?
06:16Pony up for a game.
06:17You can talk all you want.
06:19That was a very impressive display of mech piloting this afternoon.
06:26You're here to talk business, or do you just want to stroke my ego?
06:31Witness a research on you, pal.
06:33Strong service record, but you got drummed out for insubordination.
06:38My CO couldn't cover his poker debts,
06:40so he gave me a dishonorable discharge.
06:43Serves me right for hustling the old man.
06:45Look, I'm raising a unit to go after the force
06:48that's been invading the inner sphere.
06:50How would you like to rejoin the service as a lieutenant?
06:53I gave up fighting for your relatives a long time ago.
06:56Wait a minute, you think I'm talking about some little border dispute?
06:59Dude, this is the survival of the entire inner sphere.
07:02Easy, Major.
07:03This mercenary sleazebag's not worth the effort.
07:10Nice plan, you Major.
07:11Your mech's overheating, pal.
07:13That strategy might work one-on-one,
07:17but you'd be a sitting duck in real combat.
07:20You're right.
07:21Guess I'll just have to settle for real money.
07:24So, Ryder's taking bribes from FedRats, eh?
07:28Hey, that's Captain Miles Hawkins,
07:30a Fedcom intelligence secretariat operative.
07:32He busted that track smuggling operation last month.
07:36Now that's Major Adam Steiner.
07:38No intelligence record, but get this.
07:40He's a distant cousin to the Archon, Melissa Steiner.
07:43Royal Blood makes a good bargaining chip.
07:46Keep him around.
07:47As for Ryder, I got one last job for him.
07:51After this gig, Tybus can go suck an egg.
07:58Val Ryder's finally a free man.
08:02Hey, you guys see that?
08:05We better check this out.
08:07Quit wasting your time, school boy.
08:09You know, I'm beginning to think the best mech jocks in this rock
08:11are either in jail or the graveyard.
08:13Welcome to Dust Bowl.
08:16Adam, I'm picking up atmospheric disturbances
08:19near the Southern Mountains.
08:20Looks like two mechs dropping from orbit.
08:23Their configurations match the troops that invaded Somerset.
08:27Lieutenant Ramirez, Cadet Kiley, report to mech bay on the dump.
08:32Commence combat drop landing procedure.
08:50What the devil?
08:53I am Star Colonel Kristen Redmond of Clan Jade Falcon.
08:58Prepare to be destroyed.
09:00Initiating enhanced imaging.
09:02Hey, where are you going?
09:14Tybus says luck for luck, bedrack traitor.
09:20Freeborn cowards.
09:21How dare they turn their backs on honorable combat.
09:30Computer, run a diagnostic on targeting and fire control systems.
09:35System error.
09:37System error.
09:38Take heart, little freeborn warrior.
09:43Unlike your cowardly allies, you will perish stout of heart.
09:50Couldn't we just say old age?
09:52These forces were never part of the bid.
09:57Great.
09:57So much for the element of surprise.
10:00We need to soften them up while we're still out of their targeting range.
10:04You were saying?
10:07Guys, according to my readouts, that's how low flew 2.3 kilometers.
10:11That's three times our range.
10:12They're heading straight for you.
10:16We need to close up that gap.
10:17Conley, think you can lead them our way?
10:20I thought you'd never ask.
10:21I thought you'd never ask.
10:42Barbarians.
10:52Barbarians.
11:01How can they still be standing?
11:12These inner sphere serats do not deserve a fair fight.
11:26We shall withdraw and wait for reinforcements.
11:29This entire pitiful planet shall pay for their deception.
11:38Let's get those cowards a taste of Commonwealth's steel.
11:41Negative serum.
11:41It took everything we had just to shake up those two.
11:44Who knows what else they got out there waiting for us.
11:47Major, I've sighted a downed mech.
11:49Let's check it out.
11:51Zero, Kylie, head back to the dropship and wait for instructions.
11:55You guys have all the fun.
12:01Well, if it ain't Mr. Congeniality.
12:05Tybus, I'm gonna nail that sleazebag.
12:08Easy, buddy.
12:09We'll get you a mech deck.
12:11You will need this to protect yourself from the enemy.
12:14You will need this to protect yourself from the enemy.
12:15The major said the invaders retreated.
12:17I wasn't referring to the invaders.
12:27Just a fractured field.
12:29If I knew they had such pretty med techs, I'd have broken something sooner.
12:34Well, the offer to join us still stands.
12:38Can't say much for the pay.
12:40But I like the medical benefits package.
12:44Didn't I tell you not to waste your time on this loser?
12:46You carrying a weapon, Doc?
12:53Not by choice, I assure you.
12:55I realize this is a combat unit, but my job is to save lives, not take them.
13:02We know you're in there, Ryder.
13:05Friends are yours.
13:06You're all invited to enjoy the hospitality of Boss Tybus.
13:16I swear, Star Colonel, I got no idea where those other mechs come from.
13:20You have already sealed your fate with your deceitful trap, Tybus.
13:34So this is how you thank us for saving your planet?
13:37This is how I reward traitors for messing with my plans.
13:41You set me up!
13:42You strong rat!
13:44The rain.
13:45When?
13:45Where?
13:46Any idea what this guy's talking about?
13:48Don't mess with me, Fedrat.
13:51I know who you're working for.
13:54Captain Hawkins is no longer with the Intelligence Secretariat.
13:57He's with me.
13:58Nice try.
14:01Maybe you guys would like to get your story straight with your partner.
14:09Ryder?
14:10And this used to be a classy establishment.
14:13Juan Martinez, Fedcom Intelligence.
14:15I was about to nail Tybus when your buddy here shot me down.
14:19See, I found out Tybus was going to keep Fedcom off his back by striking a little deal with the Jade Falcon Clan.
14:24Jade Falcon Clan?
14:26Yeah, that's the name of the Invasion Force, Major Steiner.
14:28You knew his name?
14:29I know a lot of things, Dr. Nakamura.
14:32What do you know about Somerset?
14:33Not much.
14:34Although my con star contact tells me your brother's alive.
14:37Andrew?
14:39Alive?
14:40Fat lot of good that does us in here.
14:42I also know a Fedcom battalion is waiting for my order to raid this planet, if I had some way to send them a signal.
14:48Too bad none of us has a key.
14:51How did you...
14:51I'll show you later, if you ask nicely.
14:59There's a Comstar transmission station not too far from here.
15:02I'll use it to contact my unit.
15:03If you're looking for your battle mechs, they're this way.
15:05I don't believe this.
15:15It's not here.
15:17What's not here?
15:18My father's centurion.
15:19Tybus was keeping it as collateral while I worked off my gambling debts.
15:23I never had you pegged as the sentimental typewriter.
15:25Come down from there.
15:27Nice and slow.
15:28Where's Martinez?
15:33It's all over, Tybus.
15:35His battalion's raiding your little rock right now.
15:38That quick?
15:38Impossible.
15:39It must be that Jade Falcon clan.
15:41It's definitely the Falcon's boss.
16:06And this time, they're not fooling punches.
16:11Now, Tybus and his kind shall reap the wages of deceit.
16:22Call up your goons, Tybus.
16:23We're your only hope.
16:25No.
16:25We had a deal.
16:27Sounds like the deal's off.
16:29How about it, Tybus?
16:32All right.
16:34You win.
16:36Rachel, Adam, I need Zero and Kylie out in the field pronto.
16:40We'll link up in coordinates 8, 3, 4, 4, 7, 6.
16:43I roger that, Adam.
16:45They're already on the job.
16:46Not so fast, boss man.
17:12You and me got a score to set up.
17:14Val, wait! This is no time for vendettas. Innocent people are suffering.
17:19This is Dustball. Nobody's innocent.
17:29Recognize it? It's yours if you let me go.
17:32You're not exactly in a position to bargain, pal.
17:35Go ahead, Val. Pull the trigger. Prove you're a heartless lowlife just like him.
17:41You already gave him your mech. Why not just give him your soul?
17:45Get out!
17:48You had to take the fun out of it, didn't you?
17:50Let's go, schoolboy. Daylight's wasting.
17:52All right, listen to me, Strikers. Those clan mechs have been baking in the sun for hours.
18:03Draw them away from the city. Run them ragged. They'll overheat.
18:07Rachel, you got an estimate in how long and how fast?
18:10Already working on it.
18:13All units, initiate enhanced imaging.
18:16Adam, you ready for some info?
18:26Keep them moving at 50 kph for five more minutes and they should shut down.
18:31We may not outgun them, but we can try to outlast them.
18:39Let's move!
18:40Keep them moving at 50 KPH for five more minutes, and they should shut down.
18:47We may not outgun them, but we can try to outlast them.
18:51Let's move!
19:01Adam, I'm picking up a stray clan mech. It's heading straight for you!
19:05Captain Bolton Ryder reporting for duty, sir.
19:12Captain?
19:12This is the firing line, Major.
19:14Are you really in a position to haggle?
19:17Just give it to him, Major. Trust me, Captain is no big deal.
19:22All right, Captain. You got the command of the medium, Lance.
19:27Great. Where are they?
19:28Well, actually, you're it.
19:31Huh?
19:33I salute you on your strategy, Major.
19:34Now, my mech's overheating.
19:36Heat warning. Fusion clan shutdown imminent.
19:39I don't get it, Adam. According to my calculations, those clan mechs should have given out by now.
19:44Then change your calculations and add one more item to the list of improved clan equipment.
19:49My heat's through the roof. I'm soaked!
19:52It's either punch out and surrender, or stand here and get slaughtered.
19:56What's it gonna be, Major?
19:59Tell me this isn't a mirage.
20:01Major Steiner, this is Captain Martinez. Do you require assistance?
20:07More barbarians to destroy for the glory of Clan Jade Falcon.
20:20Star Colonel Kristen Redmond, you are to cease this unauthorized campaign at once.
20:25You spare me your petty jealousy, Nikolai.
20:28Was it not enough to steal all the glory for yourself on Somerset?
20:32You have been ordered to pull out.
20:34On whose authority?
20:36On my authority.
20:38Galaxy Commander Niestu.
20:40I gave no clearance for this operation.
20:42There is but one thing more odious than its coordination.
20:46Failure.
20:51Hey, guys! They're turning tail!
20:54You lucked out, schoolboy.
20:55You didn't have to make the tough call, this time.
21:06Perhaps next time you can lend me something useful.
21:10Like a lock pick.
21:11So, we leave Dustball with a new striker and some valuable intelligence.
21:25That's not bad for a Kerensky-forsaken rock.
21:27Huh, Captain?
21:28I hate to think where we'd be if it weren't for Martinez.
21:31He said my brother Andrew's alive.
21:34It's a long way to Somerset, Major.
21:36But we'll make it.
