Wait there.
No weapons. No comms.
No credit. No nonsense.
In you go.
Upstairs lounge is closed tonight.
You pay at the end.
Don't even think about it.
She'll send you home cryin'.
Welcome.
Hello.
Alone tonight?
- Just me. - Hmm.
- Have you been with us before? - First time.
Well, you picked a great night. It's sort of been quiet this evening.
Excuse me.
We were here first.
Yeah, we've been waiting. He just got here.
Gani will help you.
I don't want Gani.
Behave.
- (CHUCKLES) - Oh, she's funny, ain't she?
My apologies.
You should take care of them.
Why?
It's a company town.
Oh, they're just sentry guards.
They like to play at being cops. It's... It's annoying.
Hello, guys. - Where were we?
- You were telling me how quiet it was. - (CHUCKLES)
Looking for something special tonight?
A friend of mine said there was a girl from Kenari working here.
Kenari?
It was a small Mid Rim system.
I've heard of it.
It's not your girlfriend or something, is it?
- I don't have a girlfriend. - (CHUCKLES)
Are you from Kenari? Nostalgic, are we?
Let me go and check on that for you.
Is there something amusing?
What?
You keep looking over here like there's something funny.
Definitely not.
What does that mean?
Oh, that is a hard look for a little thing like you.
Yeah, he's not laughing now, is he?
There was a girl from Kenari, but she left several months ago.
We do have a lovely lady here tonight from Tahina
who's got those big dark eyes you're looking for.
This girl from Kenari, any idea where she went?
What are you? Seriously. Boyfriend? Husband?
I'm looking for my sister.
Well, whoever she is, she's not here. She disappeared.
People come and go.
You should leave.
What was her name?
Nobody here gives their real name.
- (WOMAN SHOUTS) - (FOOTSTEPS SLOSHING)
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hang on there.
No weapons. No comms.
No credit. No nonsense.
Hey! Scrawno! Slow down.
Slow down!
Stop! Stop right there!
You're in Pre-Mor corporate zone. You know that, right?
Employees are required to present their IDs upon request.
Oh, no, you didn't park out past the causeway, did ya?
I sure hope not. That's off-limits to visitors.
We'd have to fine you.
Yeah, I mean, you know about the visitor's curfew, right?
Yeah, we'd have to impound your ride.
Tough break.
What if he swum over?
You swim over, scrawno?
Yeah, he's not laughing anymore.
If you've got Corpo ID, now would be the time to pull it out.
Gonna have to see it, big stuff.
There you go.
I got 300 credits in my coat pocket.
(CHUCKLES) What are the chances on that?
That is almost exactly what it costs to cover the fine.
The towing charge and our personal processing fee.
Everybody's lucky night.
Let's have a look at it.
I'm not moving.
You want it, you take it and I walk away.
I don't need any surprises.
Have at it.
No. Other pocket.
Tell me now.
Tell me what to do!
Let's hear it, boss!
Get up. Get him up.
Get him up!
Move!
He's not breathing.
- No. - Verlo! Verlo!
- He's faking. - He's not!
Verlo! (WHIMPERS)
You killed him.
You didn't mean it.
He fell.
We had a misunderstanding, and...
We'll go in together.
We played too hard in hitting, and you didn't understand it.
He tried to grab you, and... and he fell, and he hit his head.
We'll go in together.
We'll tell them what happened.
C-C-Cassian. I brought what you t-t-told me.
Cassian. Kassa. Kassa.
Kassa! Kassa!
- (DISTANT EXPLOSION) - (ALL GASP)
- (DISTANT EXPLOSION) - (VILLAGERS EXCLAIMING)
But where were you?
It's not important.
If it's not important, why not tell me?
Cassian?
Who came by the house last night?
Jezzi and Femmi brought supper and Maarva's medicine,
and then Jezzi came back b-b-because...
Anybody looking for me?
B-B-Brasso. Brasso was looking for you.
What did you tell him?
Maarva told him...
Told him what?
Pausing for data lag.
Tell me what she said.
- (B2EMO STUTTERING) - Bee!
Maarva said you were out ruining your health and reputation
with friends of low character.
She told him sooner or later you were going to
9-9-get yourself into trouble you couldn't talk your way out of.
Then she told Brasso that...
Enough!
Come here.
Listen to me. It's important.
I know it takes a lot of energy, but can you make a lie for me?
I can lie. I have adequate power reserves.
Don't tell anybody you saw me. Don't tell anybody you know where I am.
That's two lies.
Let's have both.
I will have to recharge at home.
Take your time on the way back.
I got to hurry.
I can't come with you?
Not now. I don't have time.
I'm sorry.
I'm late. Wait. What's this?
Hold still. Hold still.
Take your time.
Let's get to it.
Grab mine. MAN 3: Yeah, grab those two now.
Brasso will catch you up.
Hey.
You don't look so good.
I'm fine.
- I came by for you last night. - Yeah, I know.
What'd you do when you left?
Uh, I was tired. I went home, cleaned up a bit, and then I fell asleep.
No. You came by for me, but I wasn't there.
So then you started home, and you saw me at the Hotel Bridge.
We decided we were thirsty, and you wanted to go to Cavo's.
But I said that was no good because there's too many people there I owe money.
You're serious?
Yeah.
Who's gonna be asking?
So Cavo's was out.
But then you remembered you still had half a bottle of nog stashed at home.
So we went there and drank ourselves to sleep.
Please. I really need this.
You insulted my choice of beverage.
As host and provider, I was offended by this.
You failed to gauge the depth of my irritation.
