00:13:02Sous-titrage Société Radio-Canada
00:13:32You say I'm the last of the serpent kind? Maybe I just don't really understand how human clothes button up?
00:13:37You buttoned it perfectly fine. Did I?
00:13:43What are you doing?
00:13:46Taking off the clothes.
00:13:49Can you retract all these scales?
00:13:51Yes. But it takes some effort.
00:13:54How much effort?
00:13:55Maintaining full human form for 12 hours. I'll need a long recovery after.
00:14:02Or...
00:14:03Don't say need the Pat's power.
00:14:04You said it. I need you to be willing. Not just tolerating it. Not just putting up with it. Willing.
00:14:11I'll give you the Pat's power. But don't think it means anything.
00:14:16Oh, it doesn't mean any anything. It only means that starting tonight you're helping me tighten your own chains.
00:14:23Put it on. The auction is tomorrow. Rest tonight.
00:14:27You're afraid to look at me. You have scales on your body. I have eyes. Scales are part of me.
00:14:32Not a flaw. I was trying to be tactical. I don't need tact.
00:14:36I need you. I need you. When you look at me. To not see a fake human in a suit.
00:14:41To see all of me.
00:14:43Your hand. Put it on my shoulder.
00:14:47Just like this.
00:14:49The Pat's power isn't a switch. It's fire. You have to ignite it.
00:14:54Your temper come here.
00:15:08Yes. Just like that. Don't stop. I'm not planning to stop.
00:15:13I meant the Pact.
00:15:16I know.
00:15:18You look human.
00:15:19Thank you. What a tremendous compliment.
00:15:21The auction starts in 12 hours. Rules.
00:15:24I talk. You stay quiet. I move. You follow. Danger shows up. You run first.
00:15:27I thought I was your partner.
00:15:28You are.
00:15:29But I don't want anything to happen to you.
00:15:31That sentence. Say it again.
00:15:33Which one?
00:15:34I don't want anything to actually happen to you.
00:15:51This is the real, most naturally gifted species when it comes to deception.
00:15:56I can smell your tension.
00:15:58Heart rate 92. Palm temperature elevated.
00:16:00Is it because the red-haired one is watching you or because you're not used to wearing a suit and
00:16:04tie?
00:16:04You shouldn't be using your thermal vision in a place like this.
00:16:08I not only don't, but with you, I can't help it.
00:16:11Who's this?
00:16:12New partner.
00:16:12You with him tonight?
00:16:14Every night.
00:16:15I understand your caution, but tonight he needs a partner who won't trigger the bio-intetic scanner.
00:16:19You can do what you do to be outside. Leave the inside to me.
00:16:21You sure he won't blow his cover in there?
00:16:22In a suit, he looks more human than most humans.
00:16:23Is that a compliment?
00:16:24It's an assessment.
00:16:25Fine. I've got the outside. You handle the inside.
00:16:27And if that snake scales flip the tablecloth, I don't know either of you.
00:16:29That one. I know. I want it.
00:16:31It says Imperial, not Serpent.
00:16:33The Empire is steaming in my race 30 years ago.
00:16:34Their gene oversight bureau is in old data. It has to be about us.
00:16:36What if you get it?
00:16:37I don't know, but it's been 30 years.
00:16:40I've never known what they did to my people.
00:16:43350,000.
00:16:44Raven, a bounty hunter with 800,000 star credits.
00:16:47Who are you running muscle for?
00:16:48Guess.
00:16:50One million.
00:16:51Hernando, your card's maxed out. What the hell are you bidding on?
00:16:53A piece of data.
00:16:54What kind of data is worth draining your entire account?
00:16:57An answer.
00:16:58Sir, I see you've already bought quite a lot tonight.
00:17:01You must be a little tired.
00:17:02The data is of no use to you.
00:17:03Perhaps you'd like to drop out.
00:17:05Drop out.
00:17:05You hypnotized him.
00:17:07Just a little suggestion.
00:17:08That's illegal in the entire gal, is it?
00:17:09I must have missed that law class.
00:17:13The Empire using triple layer quantum non-30 year old data.
00:17:16That alone is a normal would be a normal.
00:17:20Numbers.
00:17:20They turn my people into numbers.
00:17:23Do you need to sit down?
00:17:24No.
00:17:25Keep going.
00:17:26Genetic supergence bureau.
00:17:27Subject logs.
00:17:28Entry 37.
00:17:29SPZ 14.
00:17:30Female juvenile.
00:17:31Venom gland and extraction.
00:17:32Entry 442.
00:17:33SPZ 089.
00:17:34Male adult.
00:17:34Scale regeneration limit test.
00:17:36Terminated.
00:17:37What was her relation to you?
00:17:38It was my aunt.
00:17:39She taught me to sing when I was a kid, using scale donation since we serpents don't have
00:17:42vocal cords.
00:17:43That was real music.
00:17:44Soul Pact Mechanyms Reverse Engineering.
00:17:46They cut her open to see how she loved her husband.
00:17:48Inshah.
00:17:48Keep going.
00:17:49That's enough.
00:17:49I SAID KEEP GOING!
00:18:04Star system level extermination action.
00:18:06It wasn't the Empire that wanted to destroy my race.
00:18:09It was this man.
00:18:09He exterminated my entire race.
00:18:11Just ditched me.
00:18:11Inshah.
00:18:12Don't comfort me.
00:18:13Not now.
00:18:14Now I want his name!
00:18:15Eris Fahdin.
00:18:16I saw the signature line when the First Lady decrypt.
00:18:18You saw I needed to infer me.
00:18:19The name could have been fake, but triple layer quantum encryption.
00:18:21It wasn't order.
00:18:22It locks in his crimes.
00:18:23The M.G.
00:18:23Weren't knew why he exterminated it.
00:18:24But directly for an order to have pissed off you are.
00:18:26You remember me saying, now you've counting down words.
00:18:28The man who turned your entire race into numbers 30 years ago.
00:18:31You have a name.
00:18:32What are you going to do?
00:18:33Find him.
00:18:36Hernando, where did that data you bid on come from?
00:18:38The auction.
00:18:39Why?
00:18:39The boss behind Thousand Eyes Network just activated a global tracking order.
00:18:44Target.
00:18:45That snake on your ship.
00:18:48Chixing.
00:18:49I've never been able to trace the boss's name, but now I can.
00:18:51Eris Fahdin.
00:18:52Director of Imperial Gene Oversight Bureau.
00:18:54Commander of the Serpent Extranation Operation 30 years ago.
00:18:56True owner of Thousand Eyes Network.
00:18:57That name.
00:18:58I've seen it before.
00:18:59Where?
00:18:59In my father's belongings.
00:19:01His death report.
00:19:02Marcus was with the Gene Oversight Bureau back then.
00:19:05If he and Eros crossed paths...
00:19:06Chixing.
00:19:07I need you to look into something.
00:19:09The real reason Marcus was discharged...
00:19:11Hernando.
00:19:12Do it.
00:19:16You look terrible.
00:19:18Had a fight with your red-haired girlfriend?
00:19:20Not my girlfriend.
00:19:21The boss.
00:19:23The boss of Thousand Eyes Network is Eros Varden.
00:19:2830 years.
00:19:30You've been inside Thousand Eyes Network.
00:19:33Watching me stay alive.
00:19:35Waiting for me to slip up.
00:19:38You've been waiting for me to expose myself.
00:19:4230 years ago, you hid in the ruins of the homeworld while the orbital bombardant rained down.
00:19:4820 years ago, you survived the Orion Trap.
00:19:5110 years ago, you suffocated a bounty hunter in the Black Market Chase.
00:19:56You survived.
00:19:58But now you're afraid.
00:20:01Not of dying.
00:20:03You're afraid that the black-haired bounty hunter will find out it was you who drew Eros here.
00:20:09That you brought Dangeron onto his ship.
00:20:12Yinshuo.
00:20:13This is when you're supposed to tell me it'll be okay.
00:20:15I'm not that kind of person.
00:20:16Try.
00:20:17It won't be okay, but Eros will die.
00:20:18I promise you that.
00:20:19You said promise, try.
00:20:21I'm a bounty hunter.
00:20:21I don't waste words.
00:20:23Fine, until you make good on that.
00:20:24My life is yours.

00:20:32Enter search queries.
00:20:33Marcus Griff.
00:20:34ID.
00:20:34MG 224.
00:20:35Eight years.
00:20:36I never knew why you died.
00:20:37Never knew who gave the order.
00:20:39Never knew what happened the day you were discharged.
00:20:41Now I do.
00:20:42Agent Griff.
00:20:42During the Sector 7 operation, did you or did you not lease the underage serpent suspect SV01?
00:20:46Yes.
00:20:47Reason.
00:20:47He was a child.
00:20:48He was a serpent.
00:20:49Your duty was to exterminate serpentkind.
00:20:51My duty was to be a soldier, not a butcher.
00:20:58He died in your place.
00:21:01Hernando.
00:21:01Your race was wiped out.
00:21:02He let you go.
00:21:04He was discharged.
00:21:05Eros killed him.
00:21:06You are the cause between them.
00:21:13You can hate me.
00:21:14You can kill me.
00:21:17But don't push me away.
00:21:20You're the last one.
00:21:22You just said I could hate you, kill you, but not push you away.
00:21:25I don't hate you.
00:21:27What I hate is Eros.
00:21:29He killed Marcus and pinned it on this thing between you and me.
00:21:32This bond of cause and effect.
00:21:33When we find him, we can hate him together.
00:21:46Three things.
00:21:47What?
00:21:48He taught you everything.
00:21:49He was no butcher.
00:21:50You're proud of him.
00:21:51You said so.
00:21:53Three things.
00:21:54It was never just one.
00:21:56And the way you repay him?
00:21:58It shouldn't be by locking yourself in inside your own hatred.
00:22:01You said.
00:22:02Me and your father.
00:22:03In your life.
00:22:04Two wounds.
00:22:05Two wounds that cancel each other.
00:22:07But do you know what two wounds layered on top of each other is called?
00:22:10What?
00:22:10Healing.
00:22:11Wounds don't cancel.
00:22:12They connect.
00:22:13We've both been connected by the same person.
00:22:15Marcus.
00:22:17Take it.
00:22:32I found something.
00:22:35Eros' hunter fleet launched the same night as the auction.
00:22:38He has your exact coordinations now.
00:22:40Your position is locked.
00:22:42How long?
00:22:4348 hours at most.
00:22:45Maybe less.
00:22:46I need a location.
00:22:47The Serpent Homeworld ruins.
00:22:49Legend says there's something there that can take on Arabs.
00:22:51Enongo.
00:22:51That's a ruin.
00:22:52It's been sealed for 30 years.
00:22:54I know.
00:22:54But Eshan's mother said something before she died.
00:22:56The Silver Core only answers to royal blood.
00:22:59Whatever's in those ruins will only answer to Eshan.
00:23:01You're not sure it can actually help?
00:23:03No.
00:23:06But I owe two lives.
00:23:09His and my father's.
00:23:14At least let me repay one of them.
00:23:16I know someone.
00:23:17One of Marcus's old comrades.
00:23:19He studied the Serpent Ruins.
00:23:21He lives in the outer colonies of the Dawnstar Sector.
00:23:23I'll send you the coordinates.
00:23:25But hurry.
00:23:26Eros won't just send one fleet.
00:23:35Marcus Moyes hid out with me for three years after he was just grown up.
00:23:38You know me.
00:23:39Your father your name every day said you'd turned into an outlawed in the Star Abyss.
00:23:44Then he'd have a glass of that terrible fruit wine you brewed as a kid.
00:23:47Serpent royalty.
00:23:49I never thought I'd see one alive again.
00:23:51How far does your research on the Serpent Ruins go?
00:23:54Far enough.
00:23:55But first answer the question you're really is asking.
00:23:58Marcus and this Serpent.
00:24:00Their connection.
00:24:01It's no coincidence.
00:24:02Marcus had been searching for the cub.
00:24:04Only to later discover that a black haired boy had released it by the sea.
00:24:10Marcus found you later.
00:24:11In the trash heap beside the orphanage.
00:24:13He didn't adopt a random orphan.
00:24:15He adopted the child who set free the Serpent he on once saved.
00:24:19Your father wove two threads of fate together in his own way.
00:24:23He saved the snake.
00:24:24You saved the snake.
00:24:26He raised you.
00:24:27Three people.
00:24:29One saga of debts and destiny.
00:24:32Three people.
00:24:34One saga of debts and destiny.
00:24:36Now, business.
00:24:38The Serpent Homeworld has an altar at the exact center of the royal city ruins.
00:24:42Legend says it's where the Serpent ancestors stored the silver core.
00:24:46Your father transferred the silver core into you 30 years ago before he died.
00:24:50That altar will reactivate when your blood touches it.
00:24:53And after it activates, it will give you the ability to maintain human form without the soul pact.
00:24:58It will give you the full power of the royal bloodline.
00:25:01But the price.
00:25:03Activating that altar is like lighting a beacon in front of the entire empire.
00:25:07Eris will see it.
00:25:08Everyone will see it.
00:25:10The silver core holds the code of evolution.
00:25:12What Eros seeks is not a specimen, but the formula for eternal life.
00:25:15And he needs Yin Shao's body as a culture vow.
00:25:17He wants to become serpentkind.
00:25:19Surpass the serpent clan in humanity.
00:25:20And evolve into an entirely new species.
00:25:22So he wants to turn my life into his laboratory.
00:25:24Yes.
00:25:25I'm ready.
00:25:25Ready for what?
00:25:26You said Eros would die.
00:25:28But you never said it would be you who killed him.
00:25:30It will be me.
00:25:31I'm where this story began.
00:25:33I should be where it ends.
00:25:34I said no!
00:25:36You bound the pact.
00:25:37So we make the rules to together.
00:25:42When we arrive, I'll enter the altar.
00:25:45Activate the silver core.
00:25:46But I need you to hold the perimeter.
00:25:48Give me six hours.
00:25:49By yourself?
00:25:50We can probably pull together twenty.
00:25:51Twenty people against an imperial fleet?
00:25:53I'm not gonna lie and say our odds are great.
00:25:54But until you activate the silver core, I'm not dying.
00:25:58You know what I hate most about you?
00:26:00You have zero fear of death.
00:26:03It's not zero fear.
00:26:05It's just...
00:26:07Lower on the list.
00:26:08Lower than what?
00:26:11You.
00:26:11Three thousand years.
00:26:13No outlier has entered this place.
00:26:15The last was my father.
00:26:16Before him, the first ancestor.
00:26:18You are the first person I have ever brought inside.
00:26:22I'm honored.
00:26:23You're the first person I've brought inside.
00:26:25And the last.
00:26:26Warning.
00:26:27Imperial Hunter Fleet detected.
00:26:28Estimated arrival.
00:26:29Hey, Sean.
00:26:31When your father went in, did he look back?
00:26:33No.
00:26:33He said looking back is for cowards.
00:26:35I'm leaving this gun here.
00:26:36When you come out, if I'm not here, you pick it up.
00:26:38You're yourself.
00:26:38I'd rather never have to pick it up.
00:26:43There's a rule among serpent royalty.
00:26:46The silver core only answers to blood.
00:26:48You have to walk to the crystal.
00:26:49You're yourself.
00:26:49Place your hand on it yourself.
00:26:51Sounds simple enough.
00:26:53Simple.
00:26:54But no one has ever done it while surrounded by an imperial f-
00:27:01I see them.
00:27:03The ancestors.
00:27:05The origin.
00:27:07The other side of the stars.
00:27:09Eros.
00:27:10He's here.
00:27:11The silver core.
00:27:13Thirty years and you still haven't disappointed me.
00:27:15Sir, detecting ground defense fire.
00:27:16And give the artillery battery their instructions.
00:27:18Warning shots on the orbital above the altar.
00:27:20Warning only.
00:27:21I don't want the specimen damaged.
00:27:22Eleven of them.
00:27:22Twenty of us.
00:27:23On the ground, we have a shot.
00:27:24In the air, we don't.
00:27:25So we stall until Ishan's done.
00:27:27How much longer?
00:27:28Two hours in.
00:27:28His body temperature's rising.
00:27:30He must be absorbing the silver core.
00:27:32What the hell are those things?
00:27:34Eros is pets.
00:27:35Open fire.
00:27:37These bastards won't die.
00:27:38Aim for the head.
00:27:39I said head.
00:27:39Last warning.
00:27:40Anyone who shoots the body loses their pay.
00:27:41Why the hell did you turn into a drill sergeant in the middle of a firefight?
00:27:43Ever since I got a snake, his learning etude's better than these bounty hunters.
00:27:46Is that Eshan?
00:27:47Yes.
00:27:47He's activating the silver core faster than I estimated.
00:27:49So how much longer can we hold?
00:27:50Not much longer.
00:27:51He's almost there.
00:27:52The head!
00:27:52Only the head finishes them!
00:27:56The head!
00:27:57Only the head finishes them!
00:28:01These things, Eros made them from serpent genes?
00:28:03Yes.
00:28:04He's been collecting for thirty years.
00:28:05Every sample turned into one of these monsters.
00:28:07Eshan's gonna lose his mind when he sees this.
00:28:09Then I'll make sure every last one is dead before he does.
00:28:13The last one.
00:28:15All memories flow into you.
00:28:17All flows into you.
00:28:18The serpent genes are human.
00:28:20All power flows into you.
00:28:23Shall not perish.
00:28:26Hanando, left blanks collapsing!
00:28:28Who still has ammo?
00:28:31Shit!
00:28:46Hanando.
00:28:47You did it!
00:28:49Yes.
00:28:50Now comes the reckoning.
00:28:55The fully activated silver core form is even more beautiful than I anticipated.
00:29:00SV-01.
00:29:01Hello.
00:29:02Our first face-to-face meeting in thirty years.
00:29:04You've grown.
00:29:05You've aged quite a bit.
00:29:06There was some allocation not working so well on yourself?
00:29:08We met briefly at the auction.
00:29:10You took research data that belonged to me without my knowledge.
00:29:12Your Xperity-7 reduced the numbers.
00:29:14800 reboundback to number seven of my people.
00:29:17847.
00:29:18You didn't think serpentkind was the only species I was interested in, did you?
00:29:21Genetic evolution is not the privilege of one race.
00:29:23It's the ultimate goal of living things.
00:29:24You can't.
00:29:25The silver core only happens to run on that trinoladder, but you never will will be.
00:29:29Not necessarily.
00:29:30This is a clone of you, don't I?
00:29:31Bloodby.
00:29:32The silver core only answers to blood.
00:29:34My next body will be serpent royalty.
00:29:36The power of me.
00:29:37You can't.
00:29:37You can't leave alone.
00:29:38I'll give you a dignified choice.
00:29:40Surrender the silver core.
00:29:41I'll let the surviving serpentkind live out their lives in peace.
00:29:44You said surviving serpentkind.
00:29:45Do you know there are other survivors?
00:29:46Of course.
00:29:46You're scattered across the galaxy, sixty or seventy of you.
00:29:48Perhaps I've always known, I just never bothered to act.
00:29:50Give me fire control access to the raven's nest.
00:29:52What are you doing?
00:29:53He wants the flagship.
00:29:53I'm clearing his way.
00:29:56Quiet!
00:29:56Stay!
00:29:57Hananda, what are you doing?
00:29:58His shield has a gap.
00:29:59If I ram his engine RA, the shield will drop for three kids.
00:30:01You only need three seconds.
00:30:03You'll die.
00:30:03Didn't you say if I die, you die too?
00:30:05So you won't let me die.
00:30:06You're insane.
00:30:07Completely, utterly insane.
00:30:09Madman a snake.
00:30:10Kind of a perfect match, don't you think?
00:30:11Three, two.
00:30:14Madman a snake.
00:30:15Kind of a perfect match, don't you think?
00:30:16Three, two.
00:30:20You were right.
00:30:21I won't let you die.
00:30:24Three seconds!
00:30:25Now!
00:30:31You said you'd give me a choice.
00:30:33Now I'll give you one.
00:30:34Lift the hunt order on the serpent survivors, release the declassified files on the extermination
00:30:3730 years ago, and then die.
00:30:40I refuse.
00:30:40Do what this is, do you know?
00:30:41Attracted from your people.
00:30:42Purified.
00:30:43Enhanced.
00:30:43Extracted from 17 individuals.
00:30:45You counted.
00:30:46Yeah, 17.
00:30:46Some were terminated during the extraction process.
00:30:48A waste.
00:30:49From a genetic standpoint, turning a species' own weapon against itself.
00:30:53The purest form of irony.
00:30:54You know the dual nature of serpent venom.
00:30:56But you forgot him.
00:30:57I am royalty.
00:30:58The silver core can deconstruct venom.
00:31:00The serpent ancestors came from beyond the known universe.
00:31:02The silver core is the king's.
00:31:03It's contained the blueprint of your end.
00:31:05Ishan, kill him.
00:31:06Then get out.
00:31:07The raven's nest engines can't hold much longer.
00:31:09Do you know what killing me means?
00:31:10It means the Empire will officially classify Serpent Kryn as a level one threat.
00:31:12Every survivor of your race will be openly hunted.
00:31:14You cannot defeat the entire Empire.
00:31:15I only need to defeat the Empire.
00:31:16I'm not going to kill you.
00:31:18Because if you're dead, you won't feel it anymore.
00:31:20I want you alive.
00:31:21Alive inside your failure.
00:31:23Watching the serpent kin rise again from the very ruins you created.
00:31:27Not killing me.
00:31:28Making me live to face my failure.
00:31:30Interesting.
00:31:31The serpent kind has learned a new skill.
00:31:33Psychological warfare.
00:31:34Who taught you?
00:31:35That bounty hunter?
00:31:36The next round, you don't get to choose the battlefield.
00:31:38Hive's Nest.
00:31:39This is Varden.
00:31:40Activate backup protocol.
00:31:41Codename collect.
00:31:42You lost.
00:31:42I was delayed.
00:31:43He activated the silver core.
00:31:45You lost.
00:31:46I was delayed.
00:31:47He activated the silver core.
00:31:48But fully harnessing its power takes time and training.
00:31:50Before he masters it.
00:31:50The last serpent royal alive.
00:31:52Complete genetic code.
00:31:53I only want the data.
00:31:54Specimen is yours.
00:31:55Guard his window.
00:31:56Give me three months.
00:31:57I need to prepare specialized weaponry for high-level serpent royalty.
00:31:59You have two.
00:32:00AI.
00:32:01Assess damage.
00:32:02Engines.
00:32:03Complete failure.
00:32:04Shields.
00:32:04Offline.
00:32:05Weapon systems.
00:32:06Offline.
00:32:07Life support.
00:32:0772 hours remaining.
00:32:09Enough.
00:32:10But the nearest habitable station requires 14 days at sublight drift.
00:32:14So not enough.
00:32:15Chixing.
00:32:16Alive?
00:32:17Both of you?
00:32:18Alive, but the nest is done.
00:32:19Send me your coordinateses.
00:32:20I'll find a tug.
00:32:21The snake?
00:32:22Is he hurt?
00:32:23Never mind.
00:32:23Don't answer.
00:32:24I can tell by your face he's fine.
00:32:26You only get that look when he's asleep.
00:32:28What look?
00:32:29The not bulletproof look.
00:32:32I didn't kill Eras.
00:32:33So I heard.
00:32:34Do you think I'm weak?
00:32:35No.
00:32:35Why not?
00:32:36You let a man live to face him himself.
00:32:38That's crueler than killing him.
00:32:39Advanced technique in my line of work.
00:32:41When you taught me take shoot, you said it's one second.
00:32:43Takes a lifetime.
00:32:44You remembered.
00:32:45Everything about you.
00:32:46Show me your wound.
00:32:47It's not serious.
00:32:48Your blood is all over half the cockpit.
00:32:50Show me.
00:32:51You know how much venom I burn each time I heal you?
00:32:53How much?
00:32:54Based on your body weight, fever for six to eight hours, then completely drained for a full day.
00:32:57Didn't happen last time?
00:32:59Last time you stopped resisting.
00:33:00The venom was much more efficient.
00:33:01Sleep.
00:33:02Stop burning up.
00:33:13Your legs.
00:33:14Your legs.
00:33:14They're stable.
00:33:15The silver core is fully activated.
00:33:16Human form is now the default.
00:33:17The serpent tail is optional.
00:33:18So you're now an alien who can pass for human.
00:33:20Half my assets are on an imperial hunt list.
00:33:22Sincerely, Conjure Relations, you've gone from endangered species to system-wide fugitive.
00:33:25Is that progress?
00:33:25Yes.
00:33:26You smiled.
00:33:27I didn't.
00:33:27I saw it very clearly.
00:33:29Serpent vision might not be that reliable.
00:33:31Serpent vision is thermal.
00:33:32So I know that when you smiled just now, your body temperature rose 1.7 degrees.
00:33:37That is so fucking creepy.
00:33:38I like it.
00:33:39Would you like more data?
00:33:40No.
00:33:40Your heartbeat.
00:33:41At this distance, 84 beats per minute.
00:33:44Normal is 72.
00:33:45When I touch you, it goes to 96.
00:33:47Look at my legs.
00:33:49As stable as yours.
00:33:51Whoa.
00:33:52He grew legs.
00:33:52I've had legs several days now.
00:33:54These are nice.
00:33:54Eros is alive.
00:33:55The Imperial Council just declassified the Serpent Externation files from 30 years in.
00:33:58Scenes after your snake publicly humiliated their director, his authority collapsed.
00:34:01Internal power struggle.
00:34:02We got lucky.
00:34:03The hunt order?
00:34:04On hold.
00:34:05Someone in the Council is speaking up to Serpent, Ken.
00:34:07Don't know who.
00:34:07But you've got at least a month without getting shot at.
00:34:09A month?
00:34:10I can find you a safe zone.
00:34:11Lie low for a while.
00:34:12No.
00:34:12I'm going to find the remaining survivors.
00:34:15Eros said there were 60 or 70 Serpent Kings still alive.
00:34:18If that's true, I'm going to find them.
00:34:20You're not joking.
00:34:21I never joke.
00:34:23My jokes just don't look like jokes.
00:34:26The repair dock needs a wheat fixed nest.
00:34:28A wheat is perfect.
00:34:30You remember.
00:34:30One side kills, one side kills.
00:34:31Yeah.
00:34:32The Royal Bloodline inherited that dual ladder's nest.
00:34:34You learned too fast.
00:34:35I'll go check the Intelligence Network for leads on Survivor.
00:34:36See you in a week.
00:34:38New body.
00:34:38Let's test your reflexes.
00:34:40Not bad.
00:34:43You're serious.
00:34:44In a real fight, no one goes easy on you.
00:34:49That hurts.
00:34:50Pain is proof you're alive.
00:34:52Again.
00:34:53You cheated.
00:34:54You said fight, not fight the human way.
00:34:56And you were holding back too.
00:34:58How do you know?
00:34:59Because when you threw that punch, you were looking at my face, not my head.
00:35:02You were afraid of hurting me.
00:35:03One more round.
00:35:04This time I won't cheat.
00:35:05And you won't hold back.
00:35:07Fine.
00:35:08They're not afraid of me anymore.
00:35:09Yeah.
00:35:09But when you switch back to the tail, they still scatter.
00:35:12Animals, mechanical or organic, can recognize a predator, a non-human entity in the system.
00:35:16And he's making that face because there's a mechanical bird didn't fly away.
00:35:19You're taking notes.
00:35:20I'm not soul pat.
00:35:22Every time you compose a sentence in your head, I can feel it.
00:35:25You were just thinking I'm like a child.
00:35:28I have no calm on that.
00:35:30Neither do I.
00:35:32But thank you.
00:35:34I track possible serpent survivor signals.
00:35:3643.
00:35:36All extremely faint biomethyl markers.
00:35:38Spread across seven different outer sect.
00:35:40That's everything I could find.
00:35:41There might be more.
00:35:42Might be all of them.
00:35:43Send the message.
00:35:44The serpent home worms will be restored as a safe zone within three months.
00:35:46To anyone willing to come home, I offer sanctuary.
00:35:49How are you going to offer sanctuary?
00:35:50You've got one half-coupled model of transport jet and a bounty who's nothing but trouble from the neck down.
00:35:53I hold 3,000 years of serpent knowledge and energy.
00:35:55Give me time and resources.
00:35:56At least enough to keep someone like Eros from getting in easily.
00:35:58Your nation.
00:35:59I'm rebuilding.
00:36:00The difference is, I don't need borders.
00:36:01Just a home.
00:36:02With luck, she'll hold for another two years.
00:36:05Without luck, the next someone shoots you.
00:36:07That's enough.
00:36:07Pay the last.
00:36:09It looks even more beat up.
00:36:11Yes.
00:36:12But it feels more like a home than the first time I saw it.
00:36:15Maybe because you're inside it.
00:36:17How many lines like that have you been saving up?
00:36:203,000 years of accumulation.
00:36:23We're just getting started.
00:36:303,000 years of accumulation.
00:36:32We're just getting started.
00:36:34Royal bloodline.
00:36:35Silver core bearer.
00:36:36I smell it.
00:36:37You held me when I was born.
00:36:38You're a lot heavier than you were back then.
00:36:40The serpent king shall not perish.
00:36:42You carry the king's scent.
00:36:43Is he your bond to me?
00:36:44After kind of soul paths, binding mates carry each other's scent.
00:36:47My nose still works.
00:36:48It's a blessing.
00:36:48But you haven't completed the final connection yet.
00:36:50What connection?
00:36:51The final step of feel everything thing from each other.
00:36:53Not just pain and emotion.
00:36:54Memories.
00:36:55Intuition.
00:36:55Even the soul.
00:36:56Resonance.
00:36:57You never told me about this.
00:36:58Because it's not necessary.
00:36:59The main body of the soul path is already complete.
00:37:00You don't need one more burden.
00:37:01After resonance, you'll see everything in my memory that I never ever wanted you to see.
00:37:04The father dying in front of me.
00:37:05Drifting alone in space.
00:37:06How I didn't lose my mind.
00:37:07That kind of solitude.
00:37:08No one needs to see those things.
00:37:10Especially you.
00:37:11But you've been carrying them for 30 years.
00:37:12That's my own business.
00:37:13You once said, from the moment the pack was bound, nothing between us can be just one
00:37:16person's business.
00:37:16Are you sure about this?
00:37:17I'm not sure about any scissions in you.
00:37:19A lot of them.
00:37:20Took a few to carry bounty shins some some dive shim bar.
00:37:22Let you onto my ship before I knew we were hunting the same enemy.
00:37:24So yes, do it.
00:37:25Once it starts, it'll hurt.
00:37:27The memory influx is massive.
00:37:28You have to say it'll hurt every single time.
00:37:30I'm almost getting used to it.
00:37:32Once it starts, it'll hurt.
00:37:33The memory influx is massive.
00:37:35You have to say it'll hurt every single time.
00:37:37I'm almost getting used to it.
00:37:38I'm afraid you'll forget.
00:37:39I'm more afraid you're stalling.
00:37:48Crying.
00:37:48Those are your memories.
00:37:50Why am I resonance?
00:37:51You are now the second bearer of my entire memory.
00:37:54I'm sorry.
00:37:55There are things you shouldn't have had to seen.
00:37:57No apologies.
00:37:59Hernando, we're past that stage.
00:38:02Your memories, all of them.
00:38:04The day of the genocide.
00:38:06Your father, your mother.
00:38:07The scales in the escape pod.
00:38:08You bit a bounty hunter's throat out in the black market.
00:38:10Your first mechanical snake.
00:38:11Stardust, you stepped on it.
00:38:13You're from the seventh.
00:38:14Cried for three days.
00:38:15Stardust, I thought no one knew.
00:38:16Now I do.
00:38:18I saw your memories too.
00:38:19Climbing out the orphanage window at eight.
00:38:20Marcus find you by the trash heap.
00:38:22Eighteen years old.
00:38:22Right after Marcus died.
00:38:25What was my worst part?
00:38:27You watching your father turn toward the collapsing ceiling.
00:38:29He didn't look back at you.
00:38:30Now we both know each other's worst parts.
00:38:32And then?
00:38:33And then we're still here.
00:38:34Casa Four.
00:38:36That planet you talk about.
00:38:37One day we're going.
00:38:39With all the worst and all the best.
00:38:42Good morning.
00:38:43The air between you two is different.
00:38:45Did you guys do some kind of serpent wedding or something?
00:38:48No.
00:38:49Your ears twitch when you lie.
00:38:50My ears never twit.
00:38:52They just did.
00:38:53All right, I'm done as asking.
00:38:55Heads up.
00:38:55There's been a shift inside the Imperial Privy Council.
00:38:57A faction supporting Serpent Hisathrate is in violated Imperial Genetic Ethics Law as their opening.
00:39:01And Areas himself?
00:39:02House arrest.
00:39:03He's confined to the Imperial Capitol.
00:39:04The Genordi Borough is under investigation by three independent committees.
00:39:06Three months.
00:39:07Some people don't keep their word.
00:39:09Happens a lot with the Empire.
00:39:10But there's something else.
00:39:11You're not going to like it.
00:39:12This person put out a bounty on ThousandEyes Network's encrypted channel.
00:39:15Three million star credits for a live serpent royal specimen.
00:39:17Who posted it?
00:39:18CodeAim Collector.
00:39:19Identity unknown.
00:39:20All we know behind Ives' auction house.
00:39:21After Eros was placed under house arrest, he used higher level clearance to take over part of the Darknet nodes.
00:39:25He's buying me.
00:39:26No.
00:39:26He's buying the Silver Core.
00:39:28He knows what Eros was researching.
00:39:29He wants to continue it.
00:39:30Let him come.
00:39:31Hernando, this isn't Imperial rules.
00:39:33He's been operating in the Star Abyss for 20 years.
00:39:34He has deeper ground to resources than ThousandEyes Network.
00:39:37He even has his own private gene-modified army.
00:39:39And it's reportedly designed specifically to counter serpentkind.
00:39:41Designed against us.
00:39:42His collection room has a serpent corpse specimen.
00:39:45Fully preserved.
00:39:46Bought from a hunter 20 years ago.
00:39:47He's been researching that body for two decades.
00:39:50Specimen.
00:39:50My people's corpse is part of his collection.
00:39:55Specimen.
00:39:56My people's corpse is part of his collection.
00:39:59You're not angry at yourself.
00:40:00About the specimen.
00:40:02Am I not?
00:40:02You're a king.
00:40:03If you're an angry, the one who was turned into a specimen.
00:40:05Someone you don't know the name of, don't the face of, only know they were serpentkind.
00:40:08It lets you read me like this now.
00:40:10Don't need resonance.
00:40:10The frequency of your tail hitting the floor is directly proportional to how pissed you are.
00:40:14You've been at it for half a minute.
00:40:15I want to kill the Collector.
00:40:16Not defeat him.
00:40:17Actually kill him.
00:40:18Completely.
00:40:18But I'm not sure you'd accept that.
00:40:20Your father taught you not to kill indiscriminately.
00:40:22Marcus taught me not to kill people who aren't worth killing.
00:40:24The Collector is a different matter.
00:40:26He's not your final enemy.
00:40:27But he's someone you need to crush on your path for forward.
00:40:30Crush him.
00:40:30I won't stop you.
00:40:31You'll help me.
00:40:32I already am.
00:40:33ThousandEyes Network's Darknet nodes are widely distributed.
00:40:36We need a way into Hive's Nest.
00:40:38Chixing's working on it.
00:40:39Ununtil then, train your new power until you can use it without thinking.
00:40:43Why?
00:40:44Because when the time comes, your mind shouldn't be on anything else.
00:40:48Focus.
00:40:49Start with this gun.
00:40:50Remember, on Once and Inside, no tail, no scales.
00:40:53The bioscanners here are ten times stronger than ThousandEyes Network's.
00:40:55One anomaly detection triggers a full station lockdown.
00:40:57I'm working on it.
00:40:58Don't work on it.
00:40:59Act.
00:40:59The difference between you and a normal human is that a normal human wants is things you don't want.
00:41:05I want you.
00:41:07Besides that.
00:41:12Don't stop.
00:41:13I'm fine.
00:41:14I know you're not.
00:41:15But keep moving.
00:41:18Distinguished guests, welcome to Hive's Nest.
00:41:22Tonight's items you will not find anywhere else.
00:41:28This is the culmination of 30 years of research by former Imperial Gene Oversight Director Eros Barden.
00:41:33The Soul Pact.
00:41:34A unique Serpent ability that can forge a deep bond between Invisdrill.
00:41:37I've said my piece.
00:41:37Who bids first?
00:41:38Me.
00:41:39I know where he is, but I'm not bidding.
00:41:41I'll tell you for free.
00:41:42Serpent Homeworld Ruins.
00:41:43The altar.
00:41:43He's waiting for you there.
00:41:44Interesting.
00:41:45You want to sell him out?
00:41:46Not him selling.
00:41:47Drawing out.
00:41:47My condition, I deliver the leash by myself, Swan Man.
00:41:49Face to face.
00:41:50Alone.
00:41:50I assume you wouldn't mind inspecting your collection piece in person.
00:41:52Your ship.
00:41:53My coordinates.
00:41:54Tomorrow.
00:41:54Don't be late.
00:41:56At the auction.
00:41:58The coordinations you gave him.
00:42:00The ruins.
00:42:01Yes.
00:42:03You used me as bait.
00:42:05You are the bait.
00:42:06Everything he wants is inside you.
00:42:08I just packaged that fact as a negotiation.
00:42:11He'll come.
00:42:12Yes.
00:42:12With his entire private army.
00:42:14More than Eros' jean soldiers.
00:42:15Designed specifically against Serpentkin.
00:42:17Yes.
00:42:17Are you insane?
00:42:1820 years ago, Marcus taught me something.
00:42:21When the enemy is hunting you from the shadows, make him come into the light.
00:42:24Then the home field advantage is yours.
00:42:26The ruins aren't just rubble anymore.
00:42:28These past two months, the Serpent Survivors have been rebuilding.
00:42:30The altar's defense systems are reactivated.
00:42:32That's where you receive the Silver Corps.
00:42:34That's where you're strongest.
00:42:35Shixing has called in every bounty warriors among the Serpent Survivors.
00:42:37Plus your power after activating the Silver Corps.
00:42:39The Collector marching his army into the ruins isn't an attack.
00:42:42It's walking into a trap.
00:42:43If you're wrong, I've never missed on a job.
00:42:45You're the biggest job I've ever taken, so I won't miss.
00:42:47At the auction, you said I know where he is.
00:42:48You said it while looking at the Collector.
00:42:50The Collector thought you what you was betraying me.
00:42:52You weren't selling me out.
00:42:53You were declaring war.
00:42:54You've learned to read between the lines.
00:42:55The soul plot has already started resonating.
00:42:57Anando.
00:42:58What?
00:42:59After we win this fight, I want to go somewheres.
00:43:01Just two of us.
00:43:02No missions, no enemies, no fleets.
00:43:03Where does a place like that even exist?
00:43:05I don't know.
00:43:05That is called Kassaforth.
00:43:06Marcus said before he died that he wanted to retire there.
00:43:09Plambula orange.
00:43:10Earth orange.
00:43:10Orange.
00:43:11And Earth sunset.
00:43:12Yeah, tomorrow we might see it.
00:43:13Then that's the place.
00:43:14The Collector will arrive within 12 hours.
00:43:17His army, according to intel, is made of gene-modified soldiers specifically against serpentkin.
00:43:21Venom resistance.
00:43:22Infrared tracking.
00:43:23Every one of you is their target.
00:43:24This is the protection of the royal bloodline.
00:43:26As long as you stay inside the barrier, his venom weapons will have no effect on you.
00:43:30This wall was built with the blood of our ancestors to two.
00:43:32The Collector.
00:43:33Round 50.
00:43:33A subsessive live specimen Elector doesn't fight personally, but his personal guard collectors
00:43:37are gene-modaged to his collection.
00:43:39Destroy one piece and he'll lose part of his sanity.
00:43:41That serpent specifium in the altar chamber is the most valuable piece he has.
00:43:43Destruction of private property, that's a crime under Imperial law.
00:43:45Where Imperial Fjodjivis look expensive.
00:43:47Fine, I'll smash jars, I'm good at that.
00:43:48You sure he'll come?
00:43:49He will.
00:43:49He's waited 20 years for this.
00:43:51That serpent specimen sits right outside his bedroom door.
00:43:53First thing he sees every morning.
00:43:54You're starting to sound more and more like Eshar.
00:43:56I don't think so.
00:43:57You do.
00:43:58Not just the words, the look.
00:43:59Two or three years ago, you wouldn't have stood up in an auction to declare war war on anyone
00:44:03for any reason.
00:44:03That was two or three years ago.
00:44:05I heard this snake is your pack bound.
00:44:06Word travels fast.
00:44:07We didn't take this job as we owe you.
00:44:09Chick Sing said, this is a war against gene collection.
00:44:11I have a cousin, half-wingered kind.
00:44:12Almost got snatched by Hive's Nest, so this isn't about favors.
00:44:15This is personal.
00:44:15Yeah.
00:44:16Then fight for yourself, not for me.
00:44:17Not for the serpent.
00:44:18Your odds of survival are higher when you're fighting for yourself.
00:44:22The coordinates were accurate.
00:44:24You didn't lie to me.
00:44:25Let him enter the canyon.
00:44:27Don't stop him.
00:44:28You sure?
00:44:28I'm sure.
00:44:3350 years.
00:44:34I'm breathing the air of the serpent homeworld.
00:44:36It's humid.
00:44:36Different from the formal adjahine scent in my specimen room.
00:44:39You shouldn't have brought the specimen in here.
00:44:40The silver core carrier.
00:44:41Alive.
00:44:42The serpent kind is the only one I never completed.
00:44:44And now, here you stand before me.
00:44:46The silver said alive.
00:44:47The most honest compliment a collector can give.
00:44:49But you're still a murderer.
00:44:51I've studied serpent kind for 20 years.
00:44:53Your venom.
00:44:54Your scales.
00:44:55Your pack mechanics.
00:44:55I know your body's better than most living serpent kind.
00:44:57Then do you know what soul-packed resonance is?
00:44:59I do.
00:45:00Deep connection.
00:45:00Empergaz and grow soul.
00:45:01Can accommodate a third party?
00:45:02Share.
00:45:03Right now, you're standing in the crossfire of two people.
00:45:05Royal Protection shields your people from venom.
00:45:07But it doesn't protect you.
00:45:08The venom concentration you just inhaled is 50 times that of my specimen.
00:45:12You should be coughing blood by now.
00:45:13You're wrong.
00:45:14Royal Protection shields everyone, including me.
00:45:16I am the source of the protection.
00:45:18The source of the shield cannot be poisoned by its own toxin.
00:45:22Ishan, one last time.
00:45:24End it.
00:45:31You're home.
00:45:34That was my most valuable!
00:45:37It was never yours.
00:45:38It never was.
00:45:39You said you know serpent bodies better than most serpent kind.
00:45:42Then let me tell you what else about us you don't know.
00:45:43We don't kill our prey.
00:45:45We consume it.
00:45:46Stop!
00:45:47Don't stop!
00:45:47Your collection returned to you.
00:45:49All of it inside your head.
00:45:51You'll never forget their eyes in again, will you?
00:46:01No.
00:46:02No.
00:46:03No.
00:46:04No.
00:46:09Imperial Corrections will be very happy to receive this gift.
00:46:12The collection catalog in his head is enough to keep him locked up on until his next
00:46:15life.
00:46:17I sent it home.
00:46:18I saw.
00:46:19His name was Astarion, the last warrior of the Royal Guardian Corps.
00:46:22When I fled into the escape pod, he was the one who pushed me in.
00:46:24Then the blast threw him into the wreckage a hunter found him.
00:46:26Eukarian died in my memories today.
00:46:27He died at the hands of my mind, and then he sat on the collector's bedside for that
00:46:30inside my apology years.
00:46:31I'm sorry.
00:46:31His name, Astarion.
00:46:33It'll be carved into the ruined walls with all the fallen.
00:46:36You know what I want to do right now?
00:46:37What?
00:46:38Go to that place you mentioned it.
00:46:39Casa 4.
00:46:40Now?
00:46:40Not now.
00:46:41Six months from now.
00:46:42After the initial ruins reconstruction is done.
00:46:44After I've gathered every living serpent.
00:46:45after the empire stops writing our names on hunt lists.
00:46:48After everything settles down a little.
00:46:49Then I'm giving you a day off.
00:46:50Seriously.
00:46:51One day.
00:46:52That's enough.
00:46:52From this day forward, every serpent who returns to the ruins will see this wall.
00:46:57Nothing on it says revenge.
00:46:59It only says, you are not forgotten.
00:47:06You talked for two hours in the council?
00:47:08Thirsty?
00:47:09Very.
00:47:1043 survivors.
00:47:1131 have come back.
00:47:11Sounds like you're not building a temporary shelter.
00:47:13You're building a restoration government.
00:47:14I try not to call it a government.
00:47:16I call it home.
00:47:16I've been thing-thinking.
00:47:17Casa 4.
00:47:18You said it's an agricultural colony.
00:47:19Some serpent kind aren't suited for long-term resident on the hobo.
00:47:21The very old.
00:47:22The ruins, gravity, and atmosphere actually take a toll on them.
00:47:24So you need someone with connections.
00:47:25Secondary outpost.
00:47:26Casa 4.
00:47:27Are you a local fixer?
00:47:28No.
00:47:28But Marcus knew people there.
00:47:29So the trip to Casa 4, it's not skim feng joe's rication.
00:47:31And for you?
00:47:32I'm a bounty hunter.
00:47:33Huh.
00:47:33That answer, Gamal Ophazas asked to you.
00:47:35Council meeting tomorrow.
00:47:36What time?
00:47:3710 in the morning.
00:47:37Three agenda items.
00:47:38Sector designation.
00:47:39Resource allocation.
00:47:40Recerponary Youth Education.
00:47:41Education?
00:47:41You're on the phone with the Imperial Ministry of Education Corps.
00:47:43Three months ago, you were being hunted by Ansi Fleets.
00:47:45Yes.
00:47:45That's absurd.
00:47:45But I'm the one who carved over 800 names into that wall.
00:47:48You fix the parts.
00:47:48I negotiate with the Empire.
00:47:49Council emergency.
00:47:50I need to take this.
00:47:51Your Highness.
00:47:52The Imperial Outer Colony Administration has sent a formal notice.
00:47:55Rejected.
00:47:55The word holding applied to race that was exterminated is inappropriate.
00:47:57If they don't, the sanctuary matter gets moved to the next bilateral negotiation.
00:48:00Your Highness, that could drag on for a long time.
00:48:02Let them drag.
00:48:02We're not ideal ones who can't afford to wait.
00:48:04Safety isn't a document that says holding.
00:48:06It's one that says home.
00:48:13So this is the ocean.
00:48:14Never seen it before.
00:48:16The Serpent Homeworld had no ocean.
00:48:18Only silver lakes.
00:48:19When I was little, I heard about Earth having something called an ocean.
00:48:22I saw it on once in an old Imperial documentary.
00:48:25It's cold.
00:48:26But it feels good.
00:48:27You look like a kid at Disneyland for the first time.
00:48:30What's Disneyland?
00:48:32Never mind.
00:48:33Earth culture lesson.
00:48:34Next time.
00:48:40Hanondo!
00:48:42Jesus Christ!
00:48:43You're not dead!
00:48:45Greg, it's been a while.
00:48:47Your old man?
00:48:47God, how many years has it been?
00:48:49And this is...
00:48:51a friend.
00:48:52Greg, I need to buy a small plot of land, edge of the farmland.
00:48:55Build a small house.
00:48:56A few residents won't bother anyone.
00:48:57Who are you living with?
00:48:58A few just him.
00:48:59There's an old abandoned plot by the vineyard.
00:49:01Three acres.
00:49:01Marcus looked at it back in the day.
00:49:03Said when he retired, he built a cabin right there.
00:49:04Thanks.
00:49:05Market price, 40% off.
00:49:06Don't thank me.
00:49:07Just build that cabin for your old man.
00:49:08You waited too long.
00:49:10There's an old abandoned plot by the vineyard.
00:49:11Three acres.
00:49:12Marcus looked at it back in the day.
00:49:13Said when he retired, he built a cabin right there.
00:49:15This is where he wanted to retire.
00:49:17Yes.
00:49:18This man.
00:49:19Marcus.
00:49:20After I climbed out the orphanage window at eight years old,
00:49:22he picked me up from a trash heap.
00:49:24He taught me how to shoot, how to haggle at a bar, how to assess a target's danger level.
00:49:28The one thing he never taught me was how to live, not survive, live.
00:49:31The soil here isn't what he said it was.
00:49:33He said it was sandy, it's actually clay.
00:49:35He got a lot of things wrong.
00:49:36He got this planet's climate wrong, the wind speeds, the types of fish you can catch after retirement.
00:49:40But he didn't get one thing wrong.
00:49:41He wanted to retire.
00:49:43He wanted to build a cabin.
00:49:44He wanted a vineyard.
00:49:44He wanted to sit on the porch every afternoon with a glass of terrible fruit wine.
00:49:48He died in a transport station bathroom.
00:49:49One bullet.
00:49:50At the scene, the only thing they found was an unpaid bar tab.
00:49:52I paid it for him.
00:49:53The names of the killed in my head crossed them off one by eight years.
00:49:55Eight years.
00:49:56The last one.
00:49:56I still haven't found.
00:49:57But Eros is under house arrest in the Imperial Capital.
00:49:59Out of range.
00:50:00Within the law.
00:50:01I waited eight years for him in the Star Abyss.
00:50:03And then you showed up.
00:50:04So to me, you weren't just the pact at first.
00:50:06You were the chance for the name Eros to resurface again.
00:50:08You were the bullet I'd be been waiting eight years for.
00:50:10But then, no.
00:50:11I'm going to build this cabin.
00:50:13When it's done, half of it is Marcus's.
00:50:15The other half is something new.
00:50:20Ambassador Eshawn.
00:50:20The serpent remnant and population you represent still carries a level one Imperial Hunt history.
00:50:25You yourself have illegally trespassed into Imperial.
00:50:28Your species is being exterminated.
00:50:29The names on a wanted list are irrelevant.
00:50:31Let's talk substance.
00:50:32What is the substance?
00:50:33I have submitted all 400 experiment files from the Emble One Ends with the words Project 30 Years.
00:50:38Translation.
00:50:39In the name of science, the Empire conducted 400 lethal experiments on my people.
00:50:42What I'm asking for is this function of my odds.
00:50:44I helped you see what unrestringent ethics amendment re-exist.
00:50:46Your defense for your crimes is that you're demonstrating what shouldn't be done.
00:50:49I'm demonstrating the necessity of legislation.
00:50:51You won't let lie because you failed, not because you regret.
00:50:53You failed.
00:50:54You couldn't obtain the silver core.
00:50:55You couldn't just become so you could come achieve immortality.
00:50:56So you come back and everyone else is you.
00:50:58Lola should fart.
00:50:58His home shouldn't go, but just a loser.
00:51:03Ambassador Ishan, I am a member of the Imperial Genetic Ethics Committee.
00:51:07Thirty years ago, when the genetic cleansing occurred, I was a junior researchist.
00:51:10I am here to do off on a transport permit to offer a public apology, not to ask for forgiveness,
00:51:16but to have it recorded for future generations to see.
00:51:19Special Research Group 7's test subjects included 32 of my people.
00:51:23Eleven were alive.
00:51:24Twenty-one were already dead.
00:51:25You signed one name, 32 lives.
00:51:27That's what an apology you meet child after you're gone goes.
00:51:29It's not said to me, it's said to the ones who come after.
00:51:33Housewarming.
00:51:33You two owe me a meal.
00:51:34Kitchen's not wired yet.
00:51:35Then build a fire.
00:51:36You're a bounty hunter?
00:51:37You can't build a fire?
00:51:38I burned the bottom of the pot.
00:51:38It's not my fault.
00:51:39Your synthetic food package doesn't list heating.
00:51:41It does.
00:51:42In Serpent's Grill.
00:51:42Next time you're processing council documents, maybe learn some basic voculary.
00:51:45What's this pattern on the apron?
00:51:46A chicken?
00:51:47It's a cartoon turkey.
00:51:48One of Chixing's housewarming gifts.
00:51:49She's mocking you.
00:51:49Your chicken is food chain.
00:51:51He already got the fire going.
00:51:52Even burnt the pot.
00:51:53I was helping.
00:51:54He already got the fire go.
00:51:55You burnt the pot.
00:51:56I was helping.
00:51:56You know what the funniest thing in the galaxy is?
00:51:58Silver core barrier serpent royal bloodline survivor, soon to be the galaxy's first non-human
00:52:03ambassador, has flour on his apron.
00:52:06What about the flour?
00:52:07Nothing.
00:52:08Just thinking the universe is fair sometimes.
00:52:10The Imperial Council matter is still waiting for the final vote.
00:52:13The core provisions of the genetic ethics amendment passed.
00:52:15Genocide has been explicitly written into against humanity.
00:52:18Now includes non-humans.
00:52:19That means if anyone ever targets your people again, Imperial Law will be on your side.
00:52:24The law isn't always on the right side, but this time it is.
00:52:26Eros.
00:52:27Life imprisonment.
00:52:28Not death.
00:52:29Because I objected.
00:52:30You objected.
00:52:31I let him live.
00:52:32Not because he deserves it.
00:52:34Because every time he closes his eyes, he'll see the 800 names on the serpent memorial wall.
00:52:38Living punishment is 10,000 times heavier than death.
00:52:41You let him go on once at the home world ruins.
00:52:44Now you're letting him go again.
00:52:45Injecting venom takes lengths one second.
00:52:48Not injecting it takes a lifetime.
00:52:50You taught me that.
00:52:51I was teaching you gun technique at the time.
00:52:54Same principle.
00:52:56Casa 4 Sanctuary.
00:52:57I adapt size a good, recommend expansion.
00:52:59The third outpost location needs confirmation.
00:53:01After Erosai is convicted, the network has entered an oneless state.
00:53:04Messer Chixing has expressed interest in taking over my authorite.
00:53:06But this matter requires specimen by operation.
00:53:09Then vote.
00:53:09That's the first new regulation.
00:53:24You know what the most distracting moment was for me during the council session?
00:53:28What?
00:53:28You were there.
00:53:29Sitting in the corner.
00:53:30Every time I looked over, I forgot I'm a king now.
00:53:32Felt like I was still that snake you tied up in the nest's cargo hold.
00:53:35I tied you up more than on once.
00:53:37Yes.
00:53:37I enjoyed it every time.
00:53:39Every time you had no idea I'd already broken free.
00:53:41You broke free every time?
00:53:43From the second time on.
00:53:45But I liked watching the serious look on your face when you tied the knots.
00:53:51You manipulative bastard.
00:53:54Thank you.
00:53:55You found that raven an adopter.
00:53:57She needs a playmate her own age who isn't afraid of snakes.
00:54:00The raven is 8.
00:54:01The serpent girl is 70.
00:54:03Your definition of same age has always been...
00:54:04Flexible.
00:54:05Cross-species relationships always require a little definitional element.
00:54:09Elasticity.
00:54:09Aren't you the best example?
00:54:11When's the final Imperial Council vote?
00:54:12Next month.
00:54:13The amendments' odds of passing are high.
00:54:15The opposition lost most of its voice after the heiress case.
00:54:18After it passes, you become an official royal representative in the galactic diplomatic sense.
00:54:22Yes.
00:54:22Then you can't just keep hiding on this farm fixing grape trellises.
00:54:25I know.
00:54:26Steps are done.
00:54:26You want to test them or are you just going to keep pretending to read that book?
00:54:29I was reading.
00:54:29Just slowly.
00:54:30You've been on the same page for 20 minutes.
00:54:32It's a difficult chapter.
00:54:33Sure it is.
00:54:34Hence passes the test.
00:54:35I know.
00:54:35I built it.
00:54:36You built it for me.
00:54:36Yeah.
00:54:37You're coming with me.
00:54:37You think I'd let you go alone?
00:54:39No.
00:54:39I just wanted to hear you say it.
00:54:40Then you heard it.
00:54:50Genetic ethics amendment.
00:54:52Final vote.
00:54:53321 in favor.
00:54:5412 abstinations.
00:54:55Zero opposed.
00:54:56The bill passes.
00:54:57Ambassador Eshion as the serpent royal representative, you are formally recognized ambassador for non-human
00:55:01racial affairs to the interstellar alliance.
00:55:03You may address the assembly.
00:55:05Three years ago, I first set foot in this galaxy's human world.
00:55:08Back then, I was a hunted survivor.
00:55:10Tonight, I am an ambassador.
00:55:12Not because humanity has gotten better, because the serpent kind didn't die.
00:55:16May this galaxy never again need a second genetic X amendment to restrain another genocide.
00:55:20Ambassador Eshion, my father was an officer in the third fleet.
00:55:2330 years ago, he carried out bombing orders in the serpent homeworld's orbit.
00:55:25He had not here to apologize.
00:55:26I'm here to ask.
00:55:27If I want to introduce a motion to the Imperial Council requiring that all descendants of
00:55:30officers do participate in his related education in schools, would you support it?
00:55:32Your name?
00:55:33Kaelin Saval.
00:55:34I support it.
00:55:35The serpent council will as well.
00:55:37What you said in the council.
00:55:39Short.
00:55:39Short, but heavy.
00:55:40Public speaking isn't my strength.
00:55:42You have to weigh every word.
00:55:44I'm used to speaking to just one person.
00:55:45I mean, in this lifetime, I've only ever spoken every true word to one person.
00:55:49I know.
00:55:50Good that you know.
00:55:51The grapes on Casa 4 are ripe.
00:55:53Harvest next month.
00:55:53You planning to go pick grapes or be an ambassador?
00:55:55Council on Tuesday.
00:55:56Vineyard on Wednesday.
00:55:57Imperial armament bills on the left.
00:55:58Grape trellisions on the right.
00:55:59The most divided decision of your life.
00:56:0030 years ago, that's how I defined my myself.
00:56:0220 years ago, too.
00:56:03Until in that deep space derelict, I found you.
00:56:05So I'm your second thing.
00:56:06No.
00:56:06You the first.
00:56:07Revenge move to second.
00:56:09New Thousand Eye's first quarterly report.
00:56:11Net profit down 40% from the Eros era.
00:56:13Because we shut down biological specimen auctions, genetic data trafficking, and live body trading.
00:56:18But I sleep a lot better, so it's worth it.
00:56:20Does your plan include an intelligence protection network for serpent survivors?
00:56:24Yes.
00:56:24Specifically allocated funds.
00:56:2620 intel nodes now fully activated.
00:56:28All serpent tracking data self-destructs within three seconds.
00:56:30Will never appear on any auction list again.
00:56:32Thank you.
00:56:33Don't thank me.
00:56:34I do it for money, even though the money's less.
00:56:36But, alright, it's not all about the money.
00:56:39One more thing.
00:56:40You two need to report to HQ regularly.
00:56:42I don't mind being your sole legal point of contact, but I do mind going three months without seeing a
00:56:46single person I can have a normal conversation with.
00:56:48Chi Sing, you've got 60 employees around you.
00:56:5260 employees who are afraid of me.
00:56:55That's your concern.
00:56:57Once we get through this busy period, we may come report to you, if we have the injection.
00:57:03They're afraid of you because you used to actually sell them.
00:57:05Past tense, now I only sell data, legal stuff.
00:57:07Your definition of legal and the Imperial Council's definition are not the same language.
00:57:10That's exactly why they need you two as ambassadors.
00:57:12I'm the kind of person they can't handle.
00:57:13We'll be there next week.
00:57:14Good.
00:57:15I'll have the kitchen prep.
00:57:16Extra sugar.
00:57:17I don't get serpent taste bods, but sugar's the universal language.
00:57:26Your Highness, legs are really hard.
00:57:29I know.
00:57:30I practiced for months.
00:57:32Months?
00:57:32That's way too long.
00:57:34For a serpent who's lived 300 years, a few months is like a dozen minutes to a human.
00:57:41I think I can.
00:57:43See?
00:57:44You did it.
00:57:52How long have you been cleaning this gun?
00:57:54This one's Marcus's.
00:57:55Eight years.
00:57:56Eight years.
00:57:56How many times have you chambered around?
00:57:58Three times.
00:57:59All in battle with you beside me.
00:58:00Next time there's a battle.
00:58:01Eros's fleet.
00:58:02The collector's guard.
00:58:03I'll be there too.
00:58:04So this auction prim needs cleaning.
00:58:05You taught them the leg transformation the same way I taught you.
00:58:08Yes.
00:58:08Including the extra tips?
00:58:10No.
00:58:11They're still too young.
00:58:12Good.
00:58:12Have you ever wondered if we hadn't met on that Derechic ship?
00:58:15I have.
00:58:16Conclusion?
00:58:17No conclusion.
00:58:18Because we were hunting the same person.
00:58:20It wasn't fate.
00:58:21It was a shared target.
00:58:23You're right.
00:58:24Not bad.
00:58:26Really not bad.
00:58:27You're his son.
00:58:29Yes.
00:58:29He came here the week before he died.
00:58:31Left something behind.
00:58:32Said, if he doesn't come back, wait for someone.
00:58:35Black hair.
00:58:36Ice blue eye.
00:58:37Good night, Marcus.
00:58:38We don't bend.
00:58:39When he carved this, what was he thinking?
00:58:42The Empire told him to kneel.
00:58:43He didn't.
00:58:43After he was discharged, he got knocked down plenty of times.
00:58:46pinned to the floor and bars, but his spine was always straight.
00:58:48I checked the body.
00:58:49Straight.
00:58:50I've been thinking if I could die like that.
00:58:51Straight.
00:58:52That would be enough.
00:58:53You're not going to die.
00:58:54At least not before me.
00:58:55How do you know?
00:58:55Forty years ago, everyone thought I was the last Serpent Royal.
00:58:58But now I have a council.
00:58:59Forty-three survivors.
00:59:00Vineyard on Casa 6.
00:59:01Two mechanical ravens every morning.
00:59:02No one can predict how they'll live.
00:59:03Why should you predict how you'll die?
00:59:05Where should Marcus's gun go?
00:59:06Above the fireplace.
00:59:07This tea is better than anything I've had before.
00:59:08From Casa 4, too?
00:59:09Yeah.
00:59:10Next year, I'll plant another row of tea bushes.
00:59:11Right next to the grape trelly.
00:59:13Then I'll help dig the holes.
00:59:16I couldn't even teach you grapes.
00:59:17You think tea will be any different?
00:59:18At least tea doesn't vine-wrap me.
00:59:20You sure?
00:59:21What's across that water?
00:59:23Another continent.
00:59:25Empty, too.
00:59:26But we can go see it sometime.
00:59:28Good.
00:59:29After we fix the trellis, attend the council, and buy the milk.
00:59:32That's life.
00:59:51What day is it?
00:59:52Tuesday.
00:59:53Council day.
00:59:53You've got a motion.
00:59:55Serpent Cultural Heritage Protection System Level Treaty, 2 in the afternoon.
00:59:58I want a real breakfast before 2 p.m.
01:00:00Scrambled eggs, Italian style.
01:00:01Bacon, I'll make your tea.
01:00:02You know, every council debate combined doesn't matter as much as that sentence.
01:00:05I know.
01:00:06One more serving.
01:00:07Chick-sings.
01:00:08She ate four servings last week.
01:00:09She kept our intelligence network running.
01:00:11She can have four.
01:00:13Fine.
01:00:14I'll go pick grapes.
01:00:19I brought bread.
01:00:20Just bought it at the starport, still warm.
01:00:23I'm covering two-thirds of your breakfast budget.
01:00:26You're not wearing shoes.
01:00:28Neither are you, and you flew a ship here.
01:00:31Bread on the table.
01:00:32Eggs are almost ready.
01:00:34You two look like a retired old couple.
01:00:35Grapes, sunrise, eggs, council.
01:00:37Ishan, your father, seeing you like this, he'd probably think every one of his guards who died beside him died
01:00:41worth it.
01:00:41He would, but he'd also say, the wine isn't ready yet, don't rush the praise.
01:00:45Fair enough.
01:00:45I'll wait till it's ready then.
01:00:47Yeah, this is worth flying for.
01:00:49You know what the new job Chick-sing sent is?
01:00:51Thousand Eyes Network Intel Station, the new colony sect, got breached.
01:00:53Needs investigation.
01:00:54The pay's not great, but it's on the way.
01:00:55The council has a hearing on that planet next month.
01:00:56So this is a business trip.
01:00:57With a side of election.
01:00:58You two, the end intruders this time, take a guess.
01:01:00Send concordination.
01:01:00Already sent.
01:01:01Also, your mechanical ravens clawed up my new couch.
01:01:03Bill goes to Nanado.
01:01:04Another job.
01:01:05Another day.
01:01:07You know what's carved on Marcus's gun?
01:01:09We don't bend.
01:01:10We did it.
01:01:10No, we did it.
01:01:11We did it without having to do it.
01:01:13Sometimes you don't need a destination.
01:01:14What you need is to not be defined by the destination.
01:01:16That's a very Serpent thing to say.
01:01:17It is Serpent.
01:01:18But to you, it's home.
01:01:19Three days.
01:01:20What do we do?
01:01:21Drink tea.
01:01:21Train.
01:01:22You check weapons, I read council files.
01:01:23And then?
01:01:24And then you sleep.
01:01:24I stay awake.
01:01:25Serpentkind don't need as much sleep as humans.
01:01:27So every night after I fall asleep, you're awake.
01:01:29Yes.
01:01:29Doing what?
01:01:30Listening to your breathing.
01:01:31Listening for 30 minutes.
01:01:32Then I sleep too.
01:01:33You're saying you stand watch every night?
01:01:34Not quite.
01:01:34Standing watch is a duty.
01:01:35I do it because I don't want to close my eyes.
01:01:37When you're asleep, your face is soft.
01:01:38Not hard like when you're awake.
01:01:39You know how fucking weird that sentence is?
01:01:41But you're smiling.
01:01:41Another jump point.
01:01:42Another planet we've never seen.
01:01:43That's the part you actually like.
01:01:44Maybe.
01:01:45But I didn't used to have someone to drink a tea with on the way.
01:01:46Now you do.
01:01:47When this is over.
01:01:48The chase, the old crew, the whole thing.
01:01:49What do you want to do?
01:01:50Same thing I'm doing now.
01:01:51Drink tea's the trellis.
01:01:51Go to council.
01:01:52Come home.
01:01:52That's not a plan.
01:01:53That's a routine.
01:01:54That's the point.
01:01:55I can hear you two getting sentimental from here.
01:01:57Save it for after you catch the bad guys.
01:01:58I need my intel station back in one piece.
01:02:00And my couch.
01:02:00Sofa's on me.
01:02:01We'll get you a new one.
01:02:02You know, I've spent most of my life running from things, but mostly running.
01:02:04This is the first time, like, I'm just going.
01:02:06Not away.
01:02:06Not toward.
01:02:07Just going.
01:02:08That's what home feels like.
01:02:09You don't have to run.
01:02:09You just move.
01:02:10Because the world moves with you.
01:02:12You always this wise before breakfast?
01:02:13You make me breakfast.
01:02:14That's why.
01:02:14Marx's playlist.
01:02:15He used to play this every time we left orbit.
01:02:17Good choice.
