Serenity Page #7

A year from now, 10, they'll

swing back to the belief...

...that they can make people...

...better.

And I do not hold to that.

So no more running.

I aim to misbehave.

Shepherd Book

used to tell me:

"If you can't do

something smart...

..."do something right. "

- Do we have a plan?

- Mr. Universe.

We haven't the equipment

to broadwave this code...

...but he can put it

on every screen for 30 worlds.

He's pretty damn close, too.

We still got the Reavers...

...and probably the Alliance,

between us and him.

That's two armies against

our one bitty cannon.

It's a fair bet the Alliance

knows about Mr. Universe.

They're gonna

see this coming.

No.

They're not gonna

see this coming.

No problem. Bring it on.

Bring it on. Bring it on.

From here to the eyes and ears

of the 'verse. That's my motto...

...or it might be,

if I start having a motto.

We won't be long.

You're going to get caught

in the ion cloud.

It'll play merry hob

with your radar...

...but pretty lights and a few miles

after you'll be right in my orbit.

You'll let us know

if anyone else comes at you?

You'll be the first.

There.

Toss me my 30 coin,

but I got a newswave for you...

Call in every ship in the quadrant.

We'll meet them in the air.

Destroy it all.

Wash, we almost through?

Now!

Go! Move!

- I'm reading activity in the cloud.

- Lock and fire on my command.

You should have

let me see her, Captain.

We should have done this

as men. Not with fire.

Sir.

- Vessel in range.

- Lock on.

Bastard's not even

changing course.

Sir!

Target the Reavers.

Target the Reavers!

Target everyone!

Somebody fire!

I am a leaf on the wind.

Watch how I soar.

Chicken's come home

to roost.

- The hell?

- It's okay.

- I am a leaf on the wind!

- What does that mean?

We're almost through.

- No! No! No!

- Yes! Yes!

We're not alone.

EMP!

Everybody, strap yourselves

into something!

- Jayne.

- Got it.

Kaylee, come on.

- We're fried. I got no control.

- Where's the backup?

Where's the backup?

Check! Check!

Get up!

Stop it!

Backup reads at 20%.

Can you get us down?

- I'm going to have to glide her in.

- Will that work?

I am a leaf on the wind.

Watch how...

Wash, baby. Baby, no. Baby,

come on. You gotta go. Come on.

We gotta move. Baby, please.

We gotta move, baby, come on.

Zoe!

Move out! Now!

Go. Go.

Head inside!

Jayne, rearguard.

- Zoe, what've we got?

- Sir...

...this is a good hold point.

- We all stay together.

- No.

They have to come

through here.

They'll bottleneck,

we can thin them out.

We get pushed back,

there's the blast doors.

I can rig them so they

won't reopen once they close.

Shut them

and hide until I get...

We need to draw them

till it's done.

This is the place.

We'll buy you the time.

All right, let's move those

crates back there for cover.

Make sure they ain't filled

with nothing goes boom.

Wait, Wash!

Where's Wash?

He ain't coming.

Move the gorramn crates!

Tell me you brought them

this time.

Zoe?

- Are you here?

- Do the job, sir.

You hold.

Hold till I get back.

Captain's right.

Can't be thinking on revenge

if we're gonna get through this.

Do you really think any of

us are gonna get through this?

I might.

No.

Mal.

Guy killed me, Mal.

He killed me with a sword.

How weird is that?

I got a short span here.

They destroyed my equipment...

...but I have a backup unit.

Bottom of the complex,

right over the generator.

Hard to get to.

I know they missed it.

They can't stop

the signal, Mal.

They can never

stop the signal.

The Reavers.

They are all made up of rage.

- It's okay. It's okay.

- I can't shut them up.

Stay low.

She picked a sweet bung of

a time to go helpless on us.

Jayne and I take

the first wave.

Nobody shoots unless

they get past our fire.

I didn't plan

on going out like this.

I think we did right, but...

No. I never planned...

anything.

I just wanted

to keep River safe.

Spent so much time on "Serenity"

ignoring anything...

...that I wanted for myself.

My one regret

in all of this...

...is never being with you.

With me?

You mean to say, as...

Sex?

I mean to say.

Hell with this.

I'm gonna live.

Mal. Guy killed me, Mal.

He killed me with a sword.

"Hard to get to. "

That's a fact.

Zoe, gorrammit!

Zoe, get your ass

back on the line!

You shot me in the back!

I haven't made you

angry, have I?

There are a lot of innocent people

in the air being killed right now.

You have no idea

how true that is.

I know the secret.

The truth that burned up

River Tam's brain.

Rest of the 'verse is going to

know it, too. 'Cause they need to.

- Do you really believe that?

- I do.

You willing to die

for that belief?

I am.

Of course,

that ain't exactly Plan A.

- Spine's intact.

- Just give me a bandage.

Up high, left!

Kaylee!

Fall back! Everybody,

fall back! Fall back now!

Jayne, grenade.

Very last one.

They're gonna get in.

I can close it

from the outside.

No one's coming

back from that.

How much ammo

do we have?

Three, four max, and my

swinging cod. That's all.

The lift isn't moving.

When they come, try to

plug the hole with it.

I'm starting to lose

some feeling here.

Lie still. I'm going

to give you something...

My bag.

Keep pressure here.

My bag.

I need...

...adrenaline and a shot of...

...calaphar for Kaylee.

I can't.

River.

- River, I'm sorry.

- No.

No.

- I hate to leave.

- You won't.

You take care of me, Simon.

You've always

taken care of me.

My turn.

Do you know

what your sin is, Mal?

Hell. I'm a fan

of all seven.

But right now...

I'm going to have

to go with wrath.

We ain't got long.

You suppose he got through?

Do you think Mal

got the word out?

He got through.

I know he got through.

I'm sorry.

You should know

there's no shame in this.

You've done remarkable things.

But you're fighting a war...

...you've already lost.

Well, I'm known for that.

Piece of shrapnel tore up that

nerve cluster my first tour.

Had it moved.

Sorry about the throat.

Expect you'd want to say your

famous last words right now.

Just one trouble.

I ain't gonna kill you.

Hell, I'm gonna grant

your greatest wish.

I'm gonna show you

a world without sin.

These are just a few of

the few images we've recorded.

And you can see...

...it isn't what we thought.

There's been no war here...

...and no terraforming event.

The environment is stable.

It's the Pax.

The G-23 Paxilon Hydroclorate that

we added to the air processors.

It was supposed to calm

the population...

We meant it for the best...

...to make people safer.

God!

- Sir?

- It's done.

Report.

River?

Drop your weapons!

Do it now.

- Weapons down.

- Let it down, now.

I want to see

your hands in the air.

- Stand down.

- Do it.

Targets are acquired.

Do we have a kill order?

Do we have an order?

Stand down.

Stand down. It's finished.

We're finished.

It's not over,

you know.

I can't guarantee that

they won't come after you.
