Sci-Fi Channel: The Lowdown - The Chronicles of Riddick Page #4

---

We could make it.

Stay behind the night...

ahead of the sun.

There's gonna be one speed.

Mine.

If you can't keep up, don't step up.

You'll just die.

I should've taken the money.

Riddick!

Boss!

Up there.

- Take a look.

- Because Anatoli says so?

Because his nose says so.

Riddick!

Riddick.

Go! Come on, go!

Climb here!

Climb! Go!

Riddick.

Go.

They're heading

for the volcano fields.

Going for our ship!

No chance do they

get to the hangar first. No chance!

Next one! Next hole!

We'll catch them there!

No more running for you.

Where did the big guy go?

Close it!

What was that?

You don't care if you live or die?

If I kill them first, not really.

Maybe I do.

Keep moving!

Kyra?

- Kyra!

- What?

Get that ass moving!

Riddick?

Remember what I said

about not caring if I lived or died?

You knew I was kidding, right?

One speed.

Your rope.

It's too late.

We're never gonna make it.

Your rope! Give me your rope!

And your water. All of it!

Stay in the shadow

of the mountain.

Don't wait for me. Run!

Riddick!

Where the hell is that hangar?

There it is.

Listen.

Let me guess. Necros.

One commander.

Five captains.

And a whole lot of Necro firepower.

Sh*t! I hate not being the bad guys.

I figure we got three minutes...

before the sun hits us again,

burns out this whole valley.

Wait.

We gonna do this or not?

Just wait.

Boss!

Remember that

favourite game of yours?

"Who's The Better Killer?"

Let's play.

Come on!

On the right!

Hand.

No!

Kyra?

I was supposed to

deliver a message to you...

if Vaako failed to kill you.

A message from

the Lord Marshal himself.

He tells you

to stay away from Helion.

Stay away from him.

And in return,

you'll be hunted no more.

But Vaako will most likely

report you as dead.

So this is your chance.

Your chance to do

what no man has ever done.

The girl.

Where will they take her?

To the Lord Marshal, of course.

I've done unbelievable things...

in the name of a faith

that was never my own.

And he'll do to her

what he did to me.

The Necromonger in me

warns you not to go back.

But the Furyan in me...

hopes you won't listen.

We all began as something else.

I have lost a Purifier...

but I have gained

a First among commanders.

It is overdue, isn't it...

that we acknowledge

your many accomplishments...

your steady faith...

and above all...

your unflinching loyalty?

Obedience without question.

Loyalty till UnderVerse come.

Well done, Vaako.

This is a day of days.

Now, tell me if it's true.

Tell me the Furyan is gone...

and I can close this campaign

without hearing his bootsteps.

If he is dead...

I sense I'm not far

from the same fate...

being of no further use here.

Shouldn't I tell you

that Riddick is still alive?

Don't try me, Aereon.

I could plough you under

with the rest of Helion Prime.

No one really knows the future.

Then tell me the odds.

That Vaako met with success.

That I will now be the one

who can finish it all.

Conquering or converting

all the remaining worlds of man.

Tell me it's true, Aereon.

And maybe

I'll save your home world...

for last.

The odds are good...

that Riddick is still alive.

Ascension protocol!

We still have numbers out there,

Lord Marshal.

Sweep teams, recon ships.

They would be hard-pressed

to make it back...

Get my armada off the ground.

- You mean on Helion?

- I mean here on this very ship.

Could you be wrong?

Mind fabricates fear.

Could you be wrong?

Not so wrong as you

when you left him alive!

It's twice a mistake.

Not only your failure,

but now the report of success.

How do we salvage this? How?

Lord Marshal's got to be warned.

You will never see the UnderVerse!

He will kill us both

before our due time.

I say give Riddick his chance.

If he is half of what you think...

he can at least wound

the Lord Marshal.

And that is when you must act.

Just to take his place?

Just to keep what I kill?

That is the Necromonger way.

- It is not enough!

- Then you do it for the faith!

If he has fear, he has weakness.

If he has weakness, Vaako...

He is unworthy of Lordship.

We do it for all Necromongers.

Protect the faith.

This can still be a day of days.

But the timing must...

be flawless.

Final protocol. Execute on my order.

We're done with this world.

Go inside.

Ziza, go inside.

We found this Lensor dead.

Show me his last sight.

Commander Toal.

He won't escape twice.

Stay your weapons.

He came for me.

Consider this.

If you fall here now...

you'll never rise.

But if you choose another way...

the Necromonger way...

Go to him.

It hurts...

at first.

But after a while, the pain

goes away, just as they promise.

Are you with me, Kyra?

There's a moment when you can almost

see the UnderVerse through his eyes.

He makes it sound perfect.

A place where anyone can start over.

Are you with me, Kyra?

Convert now...

or fall forever.

You killed everything I know.

Vaako.

Not yet.

Been a long time

since I've seen my own blood.

These are his last moments.

Give me your soul, Furyan.

Never!

You are not the one

to bring me down.

Now! Kill the beast

while he's wounded!

Help me, Vaako.

Kill him.

Vaako?

Forgive me.

Flawless.

No.

No!

I thought you were dead.

Are you with me, Kyra?

I was always with you.

I was.

You keep what you kill.

Now, what would be the odds of that?

This dark army

at the feet of a Ione outlaw.

And the fate

of the rest of the universe?

Not even I dare to calculate that.
