>> [ GRUNTS ]
>> Gwen: IT'S TRYING TO RUN!
CUT IT OFF!
>> Kevin: [ GRUNTING ]
>> Ben: I GOT IT COVERED!
[ BEEP ]
>> Echo Echo: ECHO! ECHO!
GOING SOMEWHERE?
>> Kevin: NICE GOING,
MR. "I'VE GOT IT COVERED."
>> Echo Echo: HEY, I'M ALL OVER
IT.
>> DON'T TOUCH ME, CREATURE!
>> Kevin: DON'T LET HIM GET IN
THAT THING.
IT'S A TELEPORTER POD.
>> YOU DAMAGED THE TRANSMISSION
FIELD!
>> Kevin: BEN!
[ THEME MUSIC ]
>> Echo Echo: OW!
OHH!
OW!
>> MICROCEPHALIC VERMIN-RIDDEN
CARCASS!
>> Echo Echo: THAT'S AN INSULT,
RIGHT?
>> YOUR FRIEND INTERFERED WITH
THE TELEPORTER SETTINGS.
>> Echo Echo: WELL, TO BE FAIR,
WE WERE A LITTLE DISTRACTED.
WHAT, WITH YOU TRYING TO KILL US
AND ALL.
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
I WAS.
IN FACT, I STILL AM.
>> Echo Echo: [ HIGH-PITCHED
WARBLING ]
AAH!
UM...WAS THAT AN EARTHQUAKE?
WHOA!
GONNA NEED SOME BACKUP.
NOW, LET'S TRY THIS AGAIN.
[ HIGH-PITCHED WARBLING ]
NOT GOOD, NOT GOOD, NOT GOOD.
AAH!
>> [ ROARING ]
>> Echo Echo: HIGHBREED,
LOOK OUT!
WHAT WAS THAT THING?
>> [ PANTING ]
A DRAVEK.
ITS KIND IS NUMEROUS ON THIS
PLANET...
IN THIS PLANET.
>> Echo Echo: THEN WE'D BETTER
GET OFF THIS PLANET BEFORE ANY
MORE OF THEM SHOW UP.
>> "WE"?
>> Echo Echo: YES, "WE."
YOU COULDN'T DEFEAT IT ALONE,
AND I COULDN'T.
IF MORE OF THEM COME, OUR ONLY
HOPE OF SURVIVAL IS TO FIGHT
TOGETHER.
YOU KNOW I'M RIGHT.
>> I KNOW NO SUCH THING.
>> Echo Echo: I DON'T LIKE THIS
ANY BETTER THAN YOU DO.
UM...HOW DO WE GET OFF THIS --
THIS UM, PLANET -- WHATEVER IT'S
CALLED?
>> WE ARE ON TURRAWUSTE -- A
DESERT WORLD USEFUL ONLY AS A
TELEPORTER RELAY STATION.
>> Echo Echo: SO HOW COME WE
DIDN'T BEAM INTO THE TELEPORTER?
>> THE DAMAGE TO THE POD MUST
HAVE TEMPORARILY SHIFTED THE
FOCUSING AXIS.
>> Echo Echo: CAN YOU FIX IT?
>> IF WE FIND THE TELEPORTER POD
STATION ON THIS PLANET, WE WON'T
NEED TO FIX IT.
SIMPLY AVOID HITTING IT WITH A
ROCK WHILE IT'S ACTIVATED.
>> Echo Echo: OKAY, SMART GUY.
WHERE IS IT?
>> IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL.
>> Echo Echo: IMPOSSIBLE FOR
YOU, MAYBE.
[ HIGH-PITCHED WARBLING ]
THAT WAY.
IT'LL TAKE A DAY OR MORE TO
REACH ON FOOT.
LET'S GO.
COME ON!
THE SOONER WE GET MOVING, THE
SOONER WE GET HOME.
>> YOUR KIND DISGUSTS ME.
>> Echo Echo: HUH?
WHAT DID YOU SAY?
>> I WILL NOT ALLOW SUCH A
FILTHY CREATURE TO SPEND A
SINGLE MOMENT LONGER IN MY
PRESENCE.
>> Echo Echo: CREEPS YOU OUT?
I CAN TAKE CARE OF THAT.
[ BEEP ]
>> Ben: SEE?
I'M REALLY JUST A PLAIN OLD
HUMAN.
>> THAT IS EVEN WORSE!
BE GONE, FOUL THING.
I SHALL TRAVERSE TO THE
TELEPORTER ALONE.
>> [ ROARING ]
>> Ben: WE'LL HAVE TO WATCH EACH
OTHER'S BACKS.
WE DON'T WANT ANY MORE DRAVEKS
TO GET THE DROP ON US...
OR UNDER US -- YOU KNOW WHAT I
MEAN.
NOW WHAT?
>> IF I AM FORCED TO TRAVEL WITH
YOU, THEN YOU MUST KEEP
10 PACES BEHIND ME AT ALL TIMES.
>> Ben: BUT I'M THE ONE WHO
KNOWS THE WAY.
>> 10 PACES.
>> Ben: FINE. WHATEVER.
JUST GET MOVING.
PHEW!
HOT ENOUGH FOR YOU?
[ CHUCKLES ]
>> YES.
>> Ben: NO, SEE, I WASN'T REALLY
ASKING.
IT'S JUST AN EXPRESSION.
IT MEANS IT IS HOT OUT.
>> IT IS OBVIOUSLY HOT.
I DO NOT SEE THE POINT OF
REITERATING WHAT WE BOTH ALREADY
KNOW.
>> Ben: MAKES ME GLAD I DIDN'T
SAY, "IT'S NOT THE HEAT -- IT'S
THE HUMIDITY."
>> THERE IS NO HUMIDITY.
IT IS IN FACT THE HEAT.
>> Ben: I KNOW!
I'M JUST TRYING TO MAKE
CONVERSATION.
>> [ GROANS ]
DO NOT LAY YOUR HANDS ON ME,
VILE THING!
>> Ben: HERE.
YOU CAN USE IT TO KEEP THE SUN
OFF YOUR HEAD.
>> I DO NOT TAKE CHARITY FROM
VERMIN.
[ Panting ] I MERELY...REQUIRE A
MOMENT'S REST.
>> Ben: REST WON'T CUT IT.
YOU'RE DEHYDRATED ALREADY.
>> THE ONE TRUE SPECIES THRIVES
IN A MUCH COOLER CLIMATE.
>> Ben: HUMANS LIKE IT COOLER
THAN THIS, TOO, BUT YOU'RE
ACTUALLY WASTING AWAY HERE.
I'VE GOT SOMETHING THAT CAN HELP
US BOTH BEAT THE HEAT.
HANG ON.
[ BEEP ]
>> Big Chill: BIG CHILL.
>> DESIST.
STOP THAT...
THIS INSTANT.
>> Big Chill: WHY?
>> I DID NOT...REQUEST...
YOUR ASSISTANCE.
>> Big Chill: I KNOW.
CHILL, DUDE.
[ CHUCKLES ]
SEE WHAT I DID THERE?
>> I DO NOT.
>> Big Chill: I MADE A LITTLE
PUN.
SEE?
HEY.
WHAT'S THAT?
WATER.
>> YOUR POWERS OF DEDUCTION ARE
TRULY STAGGERING.
>> Big Chill: [ SIGHS ]
WHATEVER.
I'M GETTING A DRINK.
I'LL BRING SOME BACK FOR YOU.
[ ICE CRACKLING ]
>> Big Chill: IT WAS A TRAP.
>> GULLIBLE PREY CAN OFTEN BE
LURED BY THE RIGHT BAIT.
MANY CREATURES USE THIS TO THEIR
ADVANTAGE.
>> Big Chill: THAT THING'S
GETTING LOOSE.
LET'S MOVE.
>> YOU CANNOT ISSUE COMMANDS TO
ME, MONGREL.
LESSER BEINGS DO MY BIDDING.
AND I BID YOU TO FIGHT!
>> Big Chill: OH, ALL RIGHT,
THEN.
IF YOU SAY SO.
WE CAN'T KEEP THIS UP MUCH
LONGER.
>> FOLLOW MY LEAD.
>> Big Chill: AND DO WHAT?
>> FREEZE HIM!
>> Big Chill: ALREADY TRIED
THAT.
>> FROM INSIDE.
STAY INSIDE.
KEEP HIM FROZEN UNTIL I SAY
OTHERWISE.
NOW!
[ GROANING ]
DON'T...YOU DARE.
LEAVE ME BE.
NOW THAT THE DANGER HAS PASSED,
I CAN LOCATE WATER MYSELF.
>> Big Chill: UGH.
GROSS!
>> THERE IS WATER BELOW THE SAND
IF ONE LOOKS DEEPLY ENOUGH.
THERE.
>> Big Chill: I DIDN'T KNOW YOU
HIGHBREEDS WERE SOME KIND OF
PLANTS.
>> WE ARE NOT "SOME KIND" OF
ANYTHING!
THE HIGHBREED IS THE ONLY KIND.
>> Ben: [ SLURPS ]
AHH.
[ RUSTLING ]
DID YOU HEAR SOMETHING?
>> I HEARD NOTHING EXCEPT YOU,
HUMAN, WHICH IS THE SAME AS
NOTHING.
>> Ben: HA HA.
>> I BELIEVE I'M BEGINNING TO
GRASP YOUR CONCEPT OF HUMOR.
>> Ben: MORE DRAVEKS
UNDERGROUND?
>> WORSE.
>> Ben: COME ON, WORSE?
>> DASYPODIDAE!
>> Ben: THEY'RE LITTLE.
HOW COULD THESE GUYS POSSIBLY BE
WORSE THAN DRAVEKS?
[ GRUNTING ]
[ BEEP ]
>> Swampfire: SWAMPFIRE!
THIS WILL ONLY TAKE A SECOND.
DID I SAY "A SECOND"?
'CAUSE I THINK MAYBE MORE LIKE
AN HOUR.
HIGHBREED, THIS WAY!
YOU'RE WELCOME?
>> HOW DARE --
YOU FILTHY --
UNHAND ME!
>> Swampfire: WHAT IS WITH YOU?
YEAH.
YOU DON'T LIKE THE CREATURES I
TURN INTO -- I GET IT.
BUT COME ON!
I WAS SAVING YOU!
CUT AN ALIEN-MONSTER GUY SOME
SLACK ONCE IN A WHILE.
[ Muttering ] 10 PACES BEHIND.
THE SECOND WE'RE OFF THIS
PLANET, I'LL SHOW HIM 10 PACES
BEHIND.
THIS IS AS GOOD A PLACE AS ANY
TO SET UP CAMP FOR THE NIGHT.
>> NO.
WE SHALL WALK THROUGH THE NIGHT.
>> Swampfire: NO.
WE SHALL CAMP HERE FOR THE
NIGHT.
>> I WOULD NOT USE SUCH AN
INSOLENT TONE WITH ME, LESSER
CREATURE.
>> Swampfire: OH, REALLY?
>> YOU HAVE NOT YET DEALT WITH
ME AT MY FULL STRENGTH.
SEE HOW THE COOL NIGHT AIR HAS
BEGUN TO RESTORE ME?
>> Swampfire: YEAH.
I'VE NOTICED.
>> I SHALL CARRY ON FROM HERE ON
MY OWN.
>> Swampfire: ALL RIGHT.
GO, THEN!
>> YOU HAVE OUTSTAYED YOUR
USEFULNESS TO ME.
>> Swampfire: SO HAVE YOU.
>> [ ROARING ]
>> WE SHALL CAMP HERE FOR THE
NIGHT.
[ BEEP ]
>> Ben: PULL UP A BOULDER.
SIT DOWN.
>> SO YOUR INFERNAL PIT CAN
DEPLETE ME OF MY STRENGTH?
I THINK NOT.
>> Ben: IT'S A CAMPFIRE.
IT'S A TRADITION.
YOU SIT AROUND IT AND, YOU KNOW,
TALK.
>> TO YOU?
FOR WHAT CONCEIVABLE PURPOSE?
>> Ben: MY NAME IS BEN --
BEN TENNYSON.
WHAT'S YOURS?
>> I AM CALLED REINRASSIG III,
SEVENTH SON OF THE NOBLE
HIGHBREED HOUSE OF DI RALLA,
DIRECT DESCENDENT OF THE
PURE-BLOODED HIGH ORDER OF
RASECHT, HEIR TO THE --
>> Ben: I'M GONNA CALL YOU
"REINY."
>> THAT IS DISRESPECTFUL,
BENBENTENNYSON.
>> Ben: IT'S WEIRD.
DESPITE THE FACT THAT I DON'T
TRUST YOU ANY FARTHER THAN
HUMONGOUSAUR COULD THROW YOU,
IT'S STILL PRETTY COOL HOW WE'VE
MANAGED TO WORK TOGETHER TO
SURVIVE.
I MEAN, WE MAY NOT BE FRIENDS
EXACTLY, BUT WE'RE NOT FULL-ON
MORTAL ENEMIES ANYMORE EITHER.
>> YOU AND I ARE ENEMIES.
>> Ben: BUT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO
SEE PAST OUR DIFFERENCES.
PROBABLY BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT
IT'S LIKE TO BE -- WELL, NOT A
HIGHBREED, EXACTLY -- BUT A
WHOLE BUNCH OF OTHER KINDS OF
ALIEN CREATURES KIND OF LIKE
YOU.
THANKS TO THIS, I GET TO WALK A
MILE IN OTHER LIFE-FORMS' SHOES.
SO I CAN TOTALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT
IT'S LIKE TO BE THEM SINCE I
HAVE BEEN THEM.
>> SUCH PRESUMPTION!
BUT WHAT ELSE IS TO BE EXPECTED
FROM A GENETICALLY INFERIOR
CREATURE?
>> Ben: I-I DON'T --
WHAT?!
>> WHY WOULD I, A HIGHBREED, BE
THE SLIGHTEST BIT INTERESTED IN
BEFRIENDING THE REVOLTING LIKES
OF YOU?
>> Ben: I'M JUST TRYING TO BE
NICE HERE, FIND SOME COMMON
GROUND OR SOMETHING.
>> YOU AND I ARE MORE THAN MERE
ENEMIES.
HIGHBREEDS WERE THE VERY FIRST
RACE IN THE UNIVERSE.
ALL SPECIES HENCE OTHER THAN
PURE-BLOODED HIGHBREEDS ARE
NOTHING BUT MONGRELS, HIDEOUS
ABOMINATIONS OF NATURE --
ESPECIALLY HUMANS.
AS SOON AS I NO LONGER REQUIRE
YOUR AID FOR MY OWN PROTECTION,
BENBENTENNYSON, I SHALL
ERADICATE YOU AND THERE WILL BE
ONE LESS VERMIN INFESTING A
GRATEFUL UNIVERSE.
>> Ben: YOU CAN'T REALLY BELIEVE
ALL THAT.
NOT AFTER EVERYTHING WE'VE BEEN
THROUGH.
NOT AFTER THE WAY I'VE BEEN
HELPING YOU.
>> WHEN YOU WEREN'T TRYING TO
KILL ME.
YOU ARE TIRED, HUMAN.
I SHALL TAKE THE FIRST WATCH.
>> Ben: OH, NO.
I'M WIDE-AWAKE.
YOU GET SOME SLEEP.
I'LL TAKE THE FIRST WATCH.
[ FIRE CRACKLES ]
[ GASPS ]
>> Ben: AAH!
>> [ SCREECHES ]
>> AAH!
>> Ben: CAN YOU REGENERATE IT?
>> I AM NOT A LOWLY HOMO
PALUSTRIS!
>> Ben: BUT IT CAN BE HEALED.
>> NOT FROM SUCH AN INJURY AS
THIS.
NOT IN THESE CONDITIONS.
[ BEEP ]
>> Ben: BETTER?
>> WHY WOULD YOU HELP ME?
>> Ben: WHY WOULD YOU HELP ME?
>> IT WAS IN MY OWN INTEREST TO
STOP THAT CREATURE FROM HARMING
YOU.
>> Ben: YEAH?
WELL, IT'S IN MY INTEREST TO
HELP ANYBODY WHO NEEDS IT.
AAH!
[ GROWLS ]
>> BENBENTENNYSON!
>> Ben: [ GRUNTS ]
MAYBE YOU WERE RIGHT.
MAYBE WE SHOULD WALK AT NIGHT.
THANKS FOR SAVING ME BACK THERE.
AGAIN.
THIS A HUGE THING.
A SIGN OF PERSONAL GROWTH.
PROOF THAT UNDERNEATH IT ALL,
HIGHBREEDS AREN'T REALLY SO BAD.
THAT DESPITE THOSE TERRIBLE
THINGS YOU MAY HAVE SAID BEFORE,
YOU REALLY DO WANT TO TRY TO BE
FRIENDS WITH A HUMAN.
THERE IT IS!
COME ON!
NOT THE "10 PACES BEHIND" THING
AGAIN.
>> GO HOME, BENBENTENNYSON.
I SHALL REMAIN HERE.
>> Ben: DID YOU HIT YOUR HEAD OR
SOMETHING?
THERE'S THE TELEPORTER!
WE CAN FINALLY GET OFF OF THIS
SAND TRAP OF DOOM AND BACK
TO OUR LIVES.
>> I HAVE SPENT TOO LONG WITH
YOU, BENBENTENNYSON, AND HAVE
THEREFORE MYSELF BECOME
CONTAMINATED --
>> Ben: CONTAMINATED?
>> ...AS CLEARLY EVIDENCED BY MY
UNCHARACTERISTIC BEHAVIOR --
RISKING MY OWN LIFE TO SAVE YOU,
A LOWLY HUMAN.
>> Ben: REINY, WHAT YOU DID WAS
A GOOD THING.
>> I HAVE OBVIOUSLY BECOME
INFECTED BY YOUR MONGREL
INFLUENCE AND AM NOW MYSELF
UNCLEAN.
>> Ben: BUT EVEN IF I BELIEVED
THAT WAS TRUE, WHY STAY HERE?
>> IN SELF-IMPOSED EXILE, AS IT
SHOULD BE.
FOR I CAN NEVER RETURN HOME --
OR ANYWHERE.
I COULD INFECT THE REST OF MY
KIND.
THE ONLY HONORABLE CHOICE IS TO
REMAIN HERE.
>> Ben: NO.
>> BECAUSE ALL LESSER BEINGS
OTHER THAN PURE, UNADULTERATED
HIGHBREEDS MUST BE EXPUNGED FROM
THE UNIVERSE!
INCLUDING MYSELF.
>> Ben: I THOUGHT I HAD GOTTEN
THROUGH TO YOU.
I THOUGHT YOU HAD CHANGED.
>> THIS MUCH IS TRUE.
I HAVE CHANGED.
AND NOW I MUST PAY THE PRICE.
>> Kevin: EVERYTHING LOOKS FINE,
BUT I CAN'T MAKE IT WORK.
>> Gwen: WE'VE GOT TO FIX IT,
KEVIN.
WE HAVE TO GO FIND --
BEN!
>> Kevin: YOU GAVE US A BIG
SCARE.
>> Gwen: WHERE'S THE HIGHBREED?
DID HE GET AWAY?
>> Ben: I DOUBT IT.
