01x09 - All Old Things Must Pass: Part 1

[bunniefuu]

Get out here, 598.

Uh please?

Don't try any

heroics again this time, 598.

And how's your buddy?

You broke Alvin's freakin' neck,

you monarchy psychopath!

Well, he looked at me funny.

Don't even think about it, 598.

I'll put you down, now.

I'm gonna enjoy

shoving your head

up his a*s

when the Republic falls.

You've been

in confinement too long.

The Republic has fallen.

Our Grand Supreme Guardian

will usher us into a new light.- Leader.

- What?

- Grand Supreme Leader.

He only uses

Guardian of the People

in certain circumstances

Then I shall

eradicate the poison

of your new leadership as well.

With the royal ancestors

of Arriopa as my witness

I shall end the evil

that has infested my land.

Whoo!

Oh, Doctor,

you have outdone yourself.

- That was fun.

- Thought you'd enjoy that one.

One of my personal favourites.

Each vessel is made

from harvested Qrudustia,

less machine and more a conduit

in which to harness

the energy of the Sterzaad.

It's remarkable.

Without that

specific source of energy,

these tools

are essentially useless.

And my new ship?

It'll be ready forlaunch

after your inauguration.

Excellent.

Now, if you'll excuse me

I have a party to prepare for.

Hey

Hey, Winni, can

you forward a message to Chaz?

Would you like to call him?

No. He'll try

to talk me out of going,

and he does the big brother

guilt trip thing really

really well.

Hey, bro, we're on Arriopa.

We're doing it.

We're gonna take down Lazaro.

I'm aware how crazy that sounds.

I know what I'm doing.

We have a plan

and we have Elida.

We'll be okay.

Love you, bro.

Send, Winni.

Message sent.

I wish you were returning home

under better circumstances.

- Yeah.

- Aw

It'll take a few hours

to hike into the city.

Just what this one needs

to cure his hangover.

Was it a good party, at least?

A a giant murderous

spider monster was on our ship.

How drunk were you?

You sure you wanna do this?

Take him on solo?

I can't risk

losing the both of you, too.

He's too powerful.

We're taking you

as far as we can.

We're with you.

All the way.

Or until Dessai

and her crazy Loyalists,

they b*mb us into oblivion.

So, THAT you remember?

Obviously.

We left enough

messages with Dessai and Volun

letting

them know we're in Arriopa.

It's all we can do.

Winni.

If we should die

tell only

the heroic stories about me.

It would be preferable

if you all came back alive.

We'll miss you too, Winnibee.

I'm sorry

we have to leave you here.

I've increased

the security protocols.

Anyone tries

anything, and they'll

I am aware, Amae.

We set the protocol

together earlier today.

Right.

- You ready?

- I'm ready.

Let's do this.

I just gotta pee.

It's the wrong way around!

- Well done, Harry.

- It came like that!

Bring it up we'll do it again.

Hey. It's me again.

I know. You

think me unworthy of this gift.

The fact is,

I am the only one capable

of using it the right way,

the way it was intended.

I mean, it knows that.

You see, this isn't aboutcontrol,

this isn't about power.

No, none of the

ambitions of foolish leaders.

When simpletons

are left running the show,

logic is held

in such low regard.

You're just another

in a long

line of failures.

Lazaro

Lazaro!

You promised!

I let time

get away from me again.

You promised you'd be back

before your father got up.

I can't keep covering for you.

It's not gonna

happen again, mom.

Where were you?

You were at

the protest, weren't you?

Lazaro,

if your father finds out..

- I hope he does!

- Shh.

This monarchy massacred hundreds

on Huya Prime because they

wanted to govern themselves.

And the king?

The king lets this planet rot

while we do nothing

but throw a damn party.

Mom, I'm sorry, I just

- I

- My boy.

You're such a thoughtful soul.

Always thinking

about the greater good.

He sees a great

leader in you too, your father.

A great leader?

Mom, I'm more like a dog that

he can beat into submission.

At the very least

I need you

to save me from the baroness

talking my ear off

about her philanthropy today.

Yeah?

Fine.

Your father's in the library.

Laz gear,

get your Laz gear here!

Rejoice!

Peace and love, friends!

Buy one, get one half price.

I'll even throw in a free hat.

You know

this'll be a lot easier

to accept if everyone

was under Lazaro's spell.

Then it wouldn't

be so disappointing

how many idiots

there are in this galaxy.

He calls himself a guardian,

but where was our vote?

If he wants power,

hold a fair election,

join the revolution!

Well, at least not everyone

is a crazy Lazaro fan.

First time back

here since you were a kid.

- Must be strange.

- Yeah.

None of this used to be here.

G*ntrification, man.

It looks so different.

Not that I got to leave

the palace much anyway, but

You ever think about

the queen you could be now,

if given the chance?

First thing

I would do if I was queen

- is put you in charge.

- All right.

Yeah, I wouldn't have

to worry about anything.

Check in, you'd

have it all under control.

Wait.

In your fantasy version

of my monarchy rule,

you're not even around?

And you're off doing what,

taking all the adventures?

I kindly decline your offer.

I'm not

missing out on all the fun.

All right,

well you guys have fun.

Chilling in a palace

hot tub sounds like fun to me.

What is all this? What

Somebody taught me to blend in.

Ah, getting into

character, I like it.

I've got eyes on her.

Arriopa City.

I'll take that, thank you.

Oh, is that young Ori Lazaro?

Look how you've grown!

He's looking more

and more like you every day.

No need to upset

the boy on such a fine day.

I hear

you're petitioning alongside

our remote colonies.

Change comes from within, boy.

Not by distancing

yourself from the monarchy.

So, you'd agree

there needs to be change?

Our son has

a passion for social justice.

I recall a fair few of our own

campaigns as youngsters,

Francis.

They were quite the pair,

these two.

The stories I have on them!

I would love

to hear some of those.

- Oh, well

- Before they were complicit

in this

monarchy's heinous actions.

If you will excuse us, Francis.

- Duchess.

- Oh.

Would you like a drink, Duchess?

- Oh.

- You must see our gardens.

Oh, I'd love

I'd love to.

Who do you think you are, boy?

Embarrassing not only yourself,

but your own family? You've

been given great privilege,

and now you're

throwing it all away.

Father, please,

just listen to me.

All right, the crimes committed

under the king's rule cannot

No more, Lazaro.

You are the future marquis,

for goodness' sake.

This childish

behaviour stops now.

Do not make me choose between

my son and this monarchy.

Because that is an ultimatum

you will not win!

You will

apologize to our guests.

Is that understood?

Frustrating, isn't it?

Watching our home crumble under

a corrupt, oppressive ruler?

We've had our eye

on you for some time.

We?

Let's just say

there are those among us

who share your

disdain for the monarchy.

You're not alone.

So, why fight alone?

Who are you?

We are the revolution.

My mistake was putting

my trust in the wrong people.

Eh, I was young.

Thought

a common enemy made an ally.

Oh, but now

Now I have an opportunity

to right all their wrongs.

Well, my guests are waiting.

'Til next time.

You're following us.

No, no.

Just you.

Who are you?

Just a messenger.

Hey, Terex.

How you doin'?

You gave El the scav job

back on the Sunshine Express.

Right, the scav job

she didn't complete

and now you're pissed,

blah, blah, blah.

You gotta kiss and make up,

we got bigger fish to fry.

Yeah yeah, this

is really not a good time.

Oh,

is it not? Or should we come back at a time

that's a bit more

convenient for you?

That would be greatly

appreciated, thank you.

Well, tough t*tties, sunshine.

Think you can scam me

out of a ship and cash,

- and get away with it?

- Terex

Something came up,

okay? And I wasn't trying to scam you.

The ship is back on Carillo

and you can take the money

- back right now

- Not that simple.

See, my clients, they

were waitin' on that delivery.

You really

flarked the operation.

Lost me a lotta cash.

So, we're handing

you three over as collateral.

And your clients are?

- Spiders.

- Oh, great, not those guys.

Space Pirates.

Obsessed with my skin.

You guys have any versionof

Stun 'n Run without g*ns?

Well, off the top of

my head, uh,

- you have a machete on you?

- Why would I have a machete?

Over there.

Run!

Go!

Get 'em!

Whoa!

Ahh!

Ha-ha! Nowhere

to run now, asshats.

Drop it, or I drop one of you.

You took out

one of my best guys.

It's hard to find loyal scavs.

So you know what?

Seeing as the human's

getting skinned anyway,

- no need to deliver him alive.

- No!

Ah!

You won't be safe anywhere!

Nothing I haven't

heard before, Butterpop!

It's Buttercup, but

Figured you might be

the disturbance we heard about.

Uh, I can promise yougoing

in unnoticed WAS the plan.

Yeah.

Sometimes it does feel like

we have a giant, flashing

neon sign over our heads.

- It says "sh**t here."

- I do not see

the neon sign,

but we got to you just in time.

So, you finally got our message?

You do know

how insane it is, right?

Dessai believes

this is our only option.

With the Sterzaad,

Lazaro's powers are endless.

This is not just about Arriopa.

Nearly every leader from

across the galaxy is visiting.

- He must be stopped.

- Duh.

What do you think

we're here for, free swag?

I will stop him, Volun.

And k*ll him.

So call her before her bombs

k*ll thousands of people.

Violence is our last resort.

I don't relish in the

destruction of innocent lives,

but Lazaro does.

What do you have to lose?

Either we succeed or we don't

and you can just go ahead

with your Plan A anyway.

Plan A was retrieving

the Sterzaad from Wix.

Too soon, Volun, too soon.

I will inform General Dessai.

If General Dessaiis

planning on bombing the city,

what the hell

are you doing here?

We have others here.

Political prisoners

under the Republic.

And if there is even

a chance that they're still

alive, well, we have

to try before it's too late.

We're taking Elida

as close to Lazaro as possible.

After that, we'll help you.

But we're not doing

it for you, or Dessai.

Just 'cause

it's a slightly better option

than watching

Lazaro's inauguration speech.

There's a tunnel in the garden

that leads straight

from the Belior statue

to the palace.

You need tickets

to get on the palace grounds.

But, uh, they're sold out.

And these

are 20,000 units each.

You are crowned

Queen Eldaya the 23rd,

Empress of Arriopa

and all her planets.

And Queen of Eternity.

She's so young.

With the right guidance,

she will be a great queen.

- Puppet on a string.

- What?

- A marvellous thing.

- It's the highest honour

to be invited

to the coronation, Lazaro.

I am honoured, father.

Mother, Father?

If you'll excuse me,

I'd like to introduce myself

to some visiting colony leaders.

Show them around

our beautiful city.

Ten years old!

We are a vassal to a damn child.

Well The king's deathwas

a short-lived celebration.

We have to rethink

our strategy about Huya Prime.

Our army was stationed

there for the king's arrival.

There's no ambush

with no royal visit.

I say we set up reconnaissance

posts in the meantime.

Hmm. Lazaro.

You're being quiet.

I say the new queen

is a blessing.

Oh, please.

Do enlighten us.

Do.

The child

is no threat, of course.

But

the queen mother,

a formidable woman,

give her time,

and her rule as puppet master

will prove

to be far more dangerous

than her

late husband's ever was.

What are you suggesting?

These tactics

they're taking us throughout

the Arriopan colonies.

It is a waste of resources.

I say we storm the palace.

Look

I know you're a fan of the

boy.

But we've been building

this revolution for a decade.

We'd be throwing everything

away if we just "went in".

The monarchy would use

every single resource they have

to execute

our entire revolutionary army!

The palace is in

a state of transition,

which means

so are their defences.

I assure you,

we will not be given

another opportunity

such as this.

Mark my words.

I will destroy the last scion

of a millennia-old

oppressive force.

You are gonna be a tremendousleader

in our new Republic, son.

I just want

a chance to undo the damage

the monarchy

has caused for centuries.

The people deserve

to rule themselves.

With some guidance.

Excuse me?

Can you help me?

There's supposed to be

a viewing spot somewhere.

You're in the wrong section.

Step aside.

You guys mind if

I get a photo with you?

Because I love,

love what you do.

No. I'll ask you

one more time, step aside.

- Hi.

- 'Sup.

It's been a pleasure, guys.

Oh, sh*t!

Ah!

Where'd you get that?

Stole it.

h*!

I'm so proud.

There will be more on the way.

- Elida?

- Hold on! You remember

your secret hideout from

when you were seven years old?

I don't remember

what happened yesterday.

Again a lot of murders.

- A lot.

- Yeah, it's

slowly ringing a bell.

Aha, got it.

- Holy sh*t.

- Wow.

- Yep, that's it.

- Hmm.

Looks like a sewer now.

Volun, you are

unparalleled in your ability

to state the obvious,

you know that?

If only you could be

here to see this, Mother.

All old things must pass.

This is so gross.

Sounds like

the party's getting started.

Whoa!

Don't.

Stop.

- Mm.

- What's wrong?

What are you, serious?

You don't?

Volun,

it smells very bad down here.

You can smell it, right?

Um, it's

indistinct.

Remind me never to

accept an invite to your home.

A bit of a missed opportunity

for a one liner here.

Trudging through crap

to face your past.

sh*t.

You're right.

Nice recovery.

Those people

don't you see as their queen.

You're just an incompetent child

they blame

for all their problems.

And they will

k*ll you if they can.

I'm sorry, my love.

There is nothing you can do.

They're inside,

we must get to the launch pad.

1,000 years of m*rder and

starvation ends here tonight!

Find the queen! No longer

will an incompetent child rule.

Captain Lazaro, shuttle pad's

launching on the east wing.

Stop!

You're under arrest for crimes

against the people of Arriopa.

I will find you.

Find out where they're going.

And round up every single

damn monarchist in this city.

Tomorrow

our new court of law

will deliver justice.

Wow.

I could not be more thrilled

with the turnout here today.

To my visitors

from near and far,

the influential leaders from

across our galaxy sitting here

before me

welcome to Arriopa.

These passages will takeus

into the east wing prisons.

Our communication

devices won't work down there.

The palace was designed to keep

the detainment cells secure.

We won't be able

to reach each other.

Go give 'em hell.

Okay, buddy?

Okay.

We can still leave.

If I don't make it

make sure you tell everyone

at my funeral it was your idea.

Be- -

You wanna say

be careful, don't you?

We'll see you real soon, okay?

- You should go.

- Shh.

Just give 'em a moment.

El?

Our first kiss, and

we're covered

in crap outside of a sewer.

Yeah, I couldn't pass up

on such a romantic story.

Subtle, man.

You have pleaded guilty

to the crimes of extortion

and conspiring with

our monarchist enemies.

People's Republic

shall now pass your sentence.

Life.

Life imprisonment.

Take them away.

- No, please!

- No!

- We're innocent.

- That is a fair sentence.

Trust me.

You do not want the alternative.

Bring forth the next subject

for the people's justice.

The Marquis Ori-Bastra.

You've been charged with

treasonagainst the revolutionary state.

How do you plead?

How

do you plead?

I should've

strangled you in your crib.

Even then, Father,

it wouldnot have stopped the inevitable.

How do you plead?

- Not guilty.

- Guilty.

Unrepentant.

The sentence is death.

You will never win.

The monarchy

will restore power

the queen will return!

No, she won't.

I will make sure of that.

All old things

must pass.

Ah!

Most of you

know me as a commander.

An insulting title

that bestowed upon me

by a petty Republic government

that had no use for

a visionary post-revolution.

But it was a title I accepted.

And I was

too naive to understand

that the people

I helped bring to power

were just as

morally corrupt as the last.

A new mask,

and a familiar tyrant.

Rulers. Leaders.

Kings and queens

from across our galaxy.

I've invited you

all here today so that

we can start again.

History

will mark this as day one.

When power

was truly

handed back to the people.

Ready?

Breach in

containment cells, level one.

Backup requested immediately.

- Fully charged.

- Yeah!

Because I charged

it for you last night!

Pretty surel remembered to do it this time.

Mm, nope.

Swap?

Fine.

That scav had quite

a few cool things on him.

We're trapped.

Cover me.

Amae?!

It's okay.

Everything is gonna be okay.

Help me.

I will.

I'm gonna

get you outta here, okay?

And everything is gonna be okay.

No

help me get

this thing

off.

- You had a vest on?

- Mm.

You stole this

thing too, didn't you?

So proud.

So today, we look to each other,

and we ask what does

real leadership look like?

It takes sacrifice.

To do

what is right for the whole

is often in conflict

with the wants

of the individual.

Bring forth the next subject!

Admirals Admirals

th this was not discussed.

She

she's no threat to us.

The marquis' wife

stands accused of treason.

Led blindly by her husband.

Then

let her repent.

Perhaps she can

learn the error of her ways.

You stand charged with

treasonagainst the revolutionary state.

How do you plead?

Not guilty.

Order! Order!

Mother, please.

Accept your guilt.

Join the Republic,

we can move on from this.

From Father's mistakes.

Mother, please.

My only mistake

was failing my son.

And losing him to you.

Unrepentant.

The sentence is death.

No!

Admirals, please.

The wholeis stronger than the individual.

If we do not keep true

to these principals,

we are no better than

the monarchy we replace.

All old things must pass.

Admirals, you know

I champion our cause.

She's not the enemy.

Are we to believe thatyou're

putting your own emotions

before the well-being

of this Republic?

Are you our commander,

or just another sympathizer?

Because there are severe

punishments

for that.

Hmm?

Ah!

I stand before quite

a diverse group of leaders.

But one thing binds you all.

The power

you hold over your people.

And your people have felt that.

They have felt starvation,

while they watched you feast.

They have felt

their backs break under toil

while you cracked the whip.

They have felt

their spirits crumble

from your endless lies,

betrayal and corruption!

All guilty of these crimes

stand

and face your people.

Here we stand at a crossroads.

A new beginning.

A new slate.

A chance for the people

to determine their own future.

- Move.

- Rulers

from across our galaxy,

you have abused

your power

in a most heinous way.

Your rule ends today.

With your lives.

Holy sh*t.

Call Isaac.

All old things

must pass.

sh*t. sh*t, sh*t.

Huh. Woulda thought

there'd be a bunch more guards.

Must be really

enjoying this party.

- Duchess.

- Oh.

The duke?

Back to the tunnels!

A job well done, I'd say.

Wait!

There is another level below.

- There is more of us.

- Of course there is.

Take the others. We'll

rendezvous back in the city.

Go!

- We're with you.

- Why not?

That was almost too easy.

In only a few hours

I've done more

for the people of this galaxy

than you could

have done in a lifetime.

Your corruption and deceit

does not stand in isolation.

Our entire universe

is infested with it.

With fools who think

they can lead.

And from the ashes,

they will rebuild

stronger, self-sufficient.

But why stop there,

when I can give the gift

of a clean slate

throughout time and space?

So, I must leave

Arriopa for a while.

Oh, uh, had the Admirals told

me you'd survived the g*nsh*t,

I would've come home sooner,

you know, finish the job.

But, um, it worked out well.

I'm glad you survived

long enough to witness this.

Lasted longer than I thought.

Hmm. At least you

had some company for a whille.

Goodbye.

Hey

Hey

Hey

Hey
