"What attacked Talyn was a retrieval squad." "Aeryn, my name is Xhalax Sun." "You were conceived in love." "The squad is under the command of Senior Officer Xhalax Sun." "My mother." "My superior officers knew I visited you that night." "They gave me a chance to redeem myself by killing your father." "We let her live, she comes, she hunts us down again." "Aeryn, you should not be the one to do this." "We must not let Xhalax live." "You want her dead, you do it." "As you wish." "Go!" "Go now!" "You must not witness this." "No!" "What is the matter?" "Radiation." "Massive radiation." "I couldn't stop it." "Don't worry about me." "I've never felt better." "And now, on Farscape..." "I talk to the dead." "I can help find the dead one you seek." "Pay me." "Pay me, and I can help..." "Aeryn..." "It's your fault Aeryn's down on Valldon!" "Not my fault!" "Trying to help!" "Trying to help?" "!" "She's in mourning for Crichton!" "How are you helping by filling her head with crazy tales about spirit channelers?" "It's not crazy." "She wanted to get away from you." "She sees you following her." "I'm following her?" "You're the one that's following her!" "Me?" "Aeryn wants me around." "She wants me to watch over her." "Sh-She wants me to protect her from people like you!" "You stupid, selfish nak-noks!" "Aeryn has made it clear she wants nothing to do with any of us." "She wants no part of your plan to find Moya and..." "Can't leave her on Valldon." "It's dangerous." "It's filled with mystics and criminals." "Then it's just like here." "What is it we don't understand, slave?" "She... she's going to talk to Crichton." "Is it you?" "Yes, it's Aeryn Sun." "I have changed my mind." "I want you to raise that man." "Which one do you seek?" "Talyn Lyczak, my father." "My name is John Crichton..." "I'm lost... an astronaut." "I got shot through a wormhole..." "In some distant part of the universe..." "I'm trying to stay alive..." "Aboard this ship..." "This living ship..." "Of escaped prisoners." "My friends." "If you can hear me..." "Beware." "If I make it back..." "Will they follow?" "If I open the door..." "Are you ready?" "Earth is unprepared..." "Helpless, for the nightmares I've seen." "Or should I stay..." "Protect my home..." "Not show them..." "You exist..." "But then you will never know the wonders I've seen." "Do you remember?" "Ah..." "Who the frell are you?" "I remember it all now." "What are you talking about?" "Touch me." "Don't be afraid, girl." "I..." "I ain't going to bite." "Touch me." "Remember it all." "I was a pilot, Aeryn." "Astronaut." "I was what I wanted to be." "It's all there." " You all right?" "Yes, I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine." "It's just the same old pain." "Same pain." "It's just the same old pain." "Same pain." "Oh, I got it." "I got your locket." "Whose, uh, image you got in here anyway?" "You know who's in there." "Are you Aeryn Sun?" "I heard you talking to somebody." "I thought you were alone." "I am." "Now, you knew I came here searching for someone else, but... let's do it." "Do what?" "You found me." "You told me that you could contact my dead father." "So show me." "You don't believe I can reach him?" "Look, you're here, I'm willing to pay and that is all that should concern you." "Will you show me your face?" "If I may ask, what business have you with Talyn Lyczak?" "I was his daughter." "So, can you contact him?" "I can do more than that." "I am Talyn Lyczak." "The world is full of demons!" "Get away!" "Get back!" "Stark." "Rygel, Rygel!" " Stark." "There..." " What?" "Do you see Aeryn?" " Stark." "No." "For a moment, I thought I heard Zhaan's voice." "Oh, frelling brasma, tell me you're joking, right?" "No." "No." " Stark..." "Crais..." "Crais!" "Yes, Rygel." "Have you located Aeryn's signal yet?" "No." "She's masked it." "We've been all over this stinking city." "Now we're in some kind of nakky hotel." "Stark's meeting every cousin and furbot he ever knew." "It's a planet of Starks down here!" "You're exaggerating." "There!" "There it is again!" "Zhaan's voice!" "Crais, get down here!" "I can't stand it alone with him." "No, no, no, stay with him until you find Aeryn." "Stark." "Call me when you do." "Crais?" "Crais!" " I talk to the dead." "I" " I see..." "Oh, stop." "Just stop." "That blood's so fake, it's laughable." "Kellor." "Kellor... she misses you." "Kellor?" "She forgives you." "She knows that you couldn't go against your parents." "How do you know her name?" "She knows that a Dominar cannot just..." "No!" "Get away from me!" " Wait!" "But I know more..." "No!" " secrets." "Secrets she didn't want me to tell you." "Pay me, I can tell you." "Did you tell them about me?" "Rygel, did you get touched?" "I'll touch you if you keep telling these fekiks about me!" "But I didn't." "I warned you that this planet had dark powers." "You're full of yotz!" "This whole place is full of yotz." "Rygel, you must guard your spirit." "Now follow me." "I was told that the owner of this hotel may know where Aeryn is." "Oh!" "Back!" "Back!" "I had my face altered, so I could hide." "Do you know what this is?" "Early Peacekeeper standard blood spectrometer." "Fairly primitive, yes." "But accurate, to near 100% certainty." "Compare the spectrographs." "Take a hundred of mine, and they will all match." "Aeryn..." "I..." "I understand." "This is not what you want." "Goodbye, Aeryn." "Wait." "Hello?" "Is anyone here?" "I wouldn't do that!" "Back away slowly." "Very slowly." "Lucky I saw you through the peephole and was quick enough to deactivate it." "Deactivate what?" "There's nothing I can..." "Protection and mutilation combined." "Much more effective than an attack animal." "Are you here to buy dead bodies?" "You've gotta outbid him." "He buys all his from me." "Buys 'em fresh." "We are not here for bodies." "We are here to find a Sebacean." "Named Aeryn Sun." "She's very beautiful." "Hair as dark as a fellip berry." "Shut up, Stark." "She usually wears it tight, pulled back." "But recently, she's taken to wearing it out, down to her shoulders." "We're close, very close." "They're not close at all." "He's some kind of weird probakto and she can't stand the smell of..." "That's not true." "It's more than true." "But we are trying to find her so we can get out of this nak house." "Hmm, no Sebaceans here anymore." "You might try the Stallic Hotel on the far side of the city." "I hear they stay there." ""Far side of the city"?" "!" "I'm not traveling tonight." "How much for your finest room?" "Stark..." "Finest room?" "Where do you think you are?" "This is a refugee city..." "Stark... and you've got to fight for tent space." " Get away!" "Look at my foyer." "Infested with kratada." "Frell off!" "By the goddess, Rygel..." "What is it?" "Better not be Zhaan again." "Don't let her see us." "Don't let her see us." "Oh, don't let her see us." " Banik, let go of me." "Shut up!" "It can't be her." "It can't be." "Who?" "Aeryn?" "No, no, no, no, no." "Is that..." "Aeryn's mother?" "I told you to leave them alone." "I did." "I did." "You were talking to that slug." "Were you telling them about me?" " No, no, no." "I paid you a lot of money." "I paid all of you a lot of money." "I would never betray you, Xhalax." "I never would." "Not anymore." "Frell!" "Get rid of the body." "By the goddess." "Crichton was right." "You never killed Xhalax!" "Get them off me!" "Let me up." "The only time we're letting you up is when we flush you out the airlock." "What happened to Xhalax?" "Tell us!" "Let me up!" "Tell us." "You tell us!" "When you left me to kill Xhalax, I saw instantly the end." "For you." " For all of us." "I knew that if I killed her," "High Command would send another Retrieval Squad after us." "And if they failed, another and another." "You made a deal to save us all." "I offered Xhalax her life." "And what did you get in return?" "She would inform High Command that we were all dead." "Do I look like an idiot?" "Huh?" "Huh?" "Does he look like an idiot?" "Do I look like an idiot?" "Yeah." "Well, I'm not." "And we're not fooled by you." "If you've got a deity, you better make your peace with it now, because I'm going to lead you to the other side real quick." "No." "No?" "What, no?" "Rygel understands our predicament." "Talyn has part of my psyche." "Can you fly him?" "No, but Aeryn can." "And she's not here." "Why did you come to this planet?" "You said at first it was not to contact me." "Who were you seeking?" "I lost someone." "He died." "Were you in love with him?" "Aeryn, on this planet," "I have seen things I never dreamed possible." "At the fall of the moon, I will come back with a being who might be able to help contact the one you loved." "Wait for me, please." "I want to try to do this for you." "Here." "Have you seen him before?" "Yes, I've seen him." "Well, do you know who he is?" "No one." "Just..." "I hear he had been studying with the nelliks who channel the dead." "Do you know where he's from?" "No." "Ugh!" "I just heard he's been hiding on Valldon for a few cycles, but everyone's hiding, so..." "Was he a Peacekeeper?" "I don't know." "Oh!" "Someone could use some fellip nectar." "You know where to get it." "What a good idea." "How can no one have seen Aeryn?" "They have." "They're just not talking." "Wait." "I've got an idea." "Stark, what are you doing?" "Leave her alone and let her die in peace." "Oh yotz, here we go again." "Get these off me." "You're not a child like he is." "How can I help you if I'm cuffed?" "Oh, you'll help." "If someone starts shooting, you'll make a very good shield." "She thinks Aeryn may be here on one of the upper levels." "Right." "I'll go." "I'll stay calm." "I'll take this fekik with me." "You can tell Aeryn what he did." "You keep an eye out for Xhalax." "Oh, not now." "Get away!" "Right here." " This had better not be the wrong room." "It won't be." "Aeryn?" "Are you in there?" "Aeryn, are you all right?" "You look terrible." "What have you been doing?" "Have you..." "This is serious." "We need to talk." "Can I come in?" "No." " Alright, that does it." "Get down, on your knees, face the wall." "I am not getting on my knees!" "Get down!" " You told Rygel you'd be calm." "I am calm!" "You get down now!" "Aeryn, you must return to Talyn." "We..." "We saw Xhalax here on Valldon." "It's this place." "You should see who I've seen." "No, no, your mother is really, really here." "I know." "Guess who've I've seen?" "Crichton." "And guess who else?" "My father." "Any microt now, Stark, you're going to see Zhaan." "You stop." "You listen to me." "He... he never killed Xhalax." "He was preparing to betray us." "That is not true." "I made a deal for all of us." "Liar!" "Liar!" "Now, you must come back with us." "I will look after you." "I want to look after you." "That would be really nice." "Oh." "Please." " Don't touch me." "Aeryn, Xhalax is alive." "Come on." "Come on." "Come on, Crais." "You can tell the truth." "Hmm?" "You get up." "Get away from him." "No, that's all right." "He wants me." "Isnât that right?" "You always wanted to take me from Crichton and now here's your chance." "I do not want Bialar." "If I squeeze my eyes closed tightly enough, you could be someone else." "No, come on." "Right here." "Right now." "Give it to me." "Give me what you've got." "You're coming with me." "I'm taking now." "Don't you touch me!" "Or I swear..." "I will spear the last eye you have left." "Do you know what makes you so much worse?" "Is the fact that you think you're so much better than him." "Always pressing against me." "Stealing looks." "Get out of here." "Both of you." "Get out!" "Uh, excuse me, have you seen a cripple who was bleeding from the eyes?" "He knew about a certain female I..." "Ta-nak-nee!" "Nee-nak-nak!" "Ra!" "Well, don't get excited." "Wah!" " I just, uh..." "Peasant!" "Watch out." "Hmm, watch your step." " Move." "Pushy, pushy!" "Do you know who that was?" "That slug was with Aeryn." "He was trying to save her." "How'd it go?" "Oh, I think Aeryn's buying it all." "When she sees this bastard, she'll suffer the way you want her to." "Oh, someone's getting restless." "I better get up there." "You're all set?" "Under here, solid krank." "Don't miss." "I won't." "First Talyn, then Xhalax." "What next?" "Crichton!" "Crichton!" "Crichton!" "That's it." "Earth." "Minus the sunshine." "This is my world now." "Think I liked yours better." "Let me guess." "You're my long lost sister." "Look, Aeryn, I know you're upset." "I, too, had someone important in my life." "Kellor was her name." "I missed her for a long time." "But I knew, as I'm sure you do, that self-sacrifice is not the answer." "Look, I'm not like Crais or Stark." "I'm not trying to save you or recreate with you." "You can do whatever you like, but Crichton loved you, Aeryn." "He wouldn't want his death to lead you here." "Oh, ah!" "Oh!" "Oh!" "Please, could we go inside?" "This height..." "You're not going in there." " Huh?" "You have to go now." "I should also tell you, Crais and Stark weren't lying." "Xhalax is on this planet." "And I wasn't lying, either." "My father's here, too." "Crazy place, Ryg." "Now, go." "But, uh..." "Go!" "I've brought the Seer." "Seer Cresus, the one we seek is not long dead." "His name is John Crichton and he's from a race called Human." "Come here." "Closer." "I won't bite... much." "Trust him." "Don't be afraid." "Touch me." "I must feel you... to reach him." "Soft." "Touch me... soft." "Tell me about this Crichton." "Uh... he..." "Did he love you?" "Hold you?" "Touch you... soft?" "Yes, he loved me." "He was very... he made me better." "Aeryn?" "Help me." "Bring me back." "Cresus, are you all right?" "Cresus says he has rarely had a vision so powerful and he wants me to find the Sintar." "He is a creature who can... sometimes turn spirits corporeal." "That's not possible." "Oh, Aeryn!" "On this planet, I have seen things I have not thought possible." "Wait here." "I will find the Sintar." "If the connection is strong enough, if he thinks this can happen..." "He can bring Crichton back?" "Perhaps." "Don't lose hope." "Not... yet." "Wait here." "I will not be long." "Just believe." "I returned from the dead." "Why can't he?" "This is where it hurts." "Yeah." "Right here." "You can't bring me back, you know." "Mmm, they said that on this planet there's a..." "I've forgotten his name." "No." "No?" "No." "Was it easy to be a hero?" "Leave me behind?" "You never think you're going to die." "I didn't know." "You... you did." "No." " Yes." "You did." "No." "Hello, soldier." "What's the matter?" "Surprised to see your old mum?" "This isn't quite the family reunion you'd imagined." "Sit down." "Soldier without her weapon." "That's against regulations." "My leg, huh?" "After you left me on that planet, it got infected." "And I had to amputate it myself." "Now, that... that hurt." "You thought you could get it all." "Get away." "Be safe." "Xhalax?" "Hello, dear." "No!" "Don't!" "You've only just met, and already you're trying to protect your father." "Xhalax, stop!" "Twenty cycles ago, we made a pact to survive for... for our daughter." "You couldn't hurt her then." "You couldn't hurt me." "I can hurt you now, old man." "So get ready to die." "Remember when Aeryn was born?" "I snuck into the med-chamber." "You had just woken..." " Lie down." "Listen, he's not the one that you..." "Shut up." "Just leave him alone!" " Shut up!" "Oh, go on, shoot me." "I'm not scared of you." "Shoot me and leave Aeryn alone." "You know, I think I've changed my mind." "You're too ugly to kill." "Looking at that face." "Now, lie down." "Lie down and roll over." "Xhalax, wh-what are you..." "Turn around, now." "Xhalax, just stop..." " Shut up!" "Lie down!" " Just leave him alone!" " Roll over!" "No, no." " Xhalax, don't." "Roll over!" "So." "So now it's just you and me." "You know, things couldn't have worked out better." "I'm glad you two got to meet." "Why?" "For this." "For you to suffer." "For everything you did." "For everything that went wrong." "I... we did nothing to you." "You did everything." "After your birth, High Command said I could redeem myself if..." "But they lied." "The damage was done." "And no matter what I did, I was never truly reinstated." "And now you want my pity?" "Oh no, I want your pain." "To know how close I was to love." "So close... and then to lose it all in an instant." "I've heard... loved ones leave you in pieces." "That little by little, you start to forget things about them." "But that's not true." "You lose them... everything, instantly." "And suddenly nothing can replace them." "Nothing." "And now you have nothing." "How does it feel?" "You lied to us, said Aeryn wasn't here!" "No, no, I..." "I didn't lie." "Did Xhalax pay you to keep us away?" "Who?" "I've never heard of them." "Now, tell me again, how do you activate this Security Grill?" "Do I just push this?" " No, no, no, don't touch that!" "Why?" "Will those speary things shoot up..." "Look, look!" "I had to lie to you." "If I'd helped you before, that maniac upstairs would have killed me." "Go on." "There is a service lift." "Xhalax doesn't know about it." "One of you could go up in that." "Surprise her." "Uh, Stark..." "What?" "Who are they?" "Down!" "Uncuff me!" "Uncuff me!" "Under the circumstances... uncuff him!" "Wasn't killing Talyn once enough?" "But did you have to kill him in front of me?" "Is that what was missing?" "When I first met him, I knew he wasn't my father." "But he knew all these details about you and me." "You're lying." "You didn't know." "Of course, I hoped that he might be Talyn..." "Just as I'd hoped that I might see Crichton again." "But in my heart I knew that that was not my father." "And then you walked in." "You know, we Peacekeepers think that we are so remarkable." "Soldiers without equal." "Precise tacticians, pure bloods." "But I've realized that we're not remarkable." "We do nothing for love." "Not one thing." "You're wrong." "Cycles ago, after your birth, I was given an order." "They called it a choice." "One of you must die, they said." "I killed your father so you could live." "I did that for love." "Stark..." "It's here again!" " Stark..." "It's Zhaan's voice." "Can you hear it?" "Not now, Stark." "Stark, get down!" " Save Aeryn!" "I'll hold them off here." "Go!" "Go!" "So, this is it." "Kill me now." "Destroy the last piece of your life, and leave nothing." "I wasn't an assassin until I killed your father." "I was a pilot." "I was bred to be a pilot." "But they made me kill again and again." "And finally I stopped caring." "But I knew your suffering would ease my pain." "And it has." "It has." "The battle's over, Xhalax." "You don't want to kill me." "No?" "Why don't you come out here a bit closer?" "It might make it easier for you." "Here." "You can't miss from here." "Unless you want to." "Drop the gun, Xhalax." "Aeryn!" "No!" "No!" "Let me fall, Aeryn." "No." "Do it." "Let me go." "I died a long time ago." "You live for me." "Zhaan's voice keeps getting stronger." "I know she's trying to reach me and I must discover what it is she needs to communicate." "Please do not waste time trying to look for me." "It is vital you take what I have left you to the Crichton on Moya." "He, and only he, will know what to do with it." "Goodbye, my friends." "Take care of Aeryn." "I will find you again." "Crais, why would Stark leave this?" "What do you think the other Crichton wants with it?" "I have no idea." "Talyn believes he's located Moya." "His long-range scans have detected" "Leviathan transmissions from the Manin Nebula." "Well, let's try to find them." "It'll be good to get back to Moya." "Perhaps." "As soon as our ships are reunited and..." "Talyn can find someone other than me to pilot him, I should leave." "I, uh, hope Moya's done better than we have." "Is Aeryn on her way up?" "She'll be leaving Valldon within the arn." "Maybe..." "I could have become something different." "If you had lived, I could have truly changed." "But you are gone." "And I am... what I was bred to be." "Aeryn." "Come here." "No." "You have to go now." "Wait." "Most of the time, Aeryn, what we do is a distortion, a hoax." "But with you, Aeryn Sun, it may have been real." "Shall we try... one more time?"
