Lexx 3.02 May
Oh - good timing.
Oh good, you're back.
You play beautifully.
Music dulls the pain.
What happened here?
Bad things. It's been a bad day.
Stanley.
Oh Xev!
Are you OK, are you OK, are you OK?
What are you doing here, what's going on?
Congratulations, Stanley.
Prince.
You have passed the test.
Drink?
It's OK, Stanley.
Who are you?
I am Kai, last of the Brunnen G.
I'm May.
Where have you come from?
I came from the sky, from the Lexx - up there.
The comet?
The Lexx is a very large insect - not a comet.
How did you get down here?
I jumped.
I came down to find Xev.
Who is Xev?
She is a beautiful love slave.
She is dressed in a lizard skin.
Have you seen her?
No.
But if you jumped down here from the sky, why were you not killed?
I am dead.
I do not understand.
I appear to be alive, but I am not living. And the dead cannot be killed.
I am not your enemy.
Yeah, right.
Stanley, listen, he needs our - well, he needs your help.
Me, help him? Do you know what I've just been through?
No, what?
First thing I was on the Lexx, and then, I mean, they took me,
they brought me here and they, they, they put me in this, this, thing -
It was a test.
He tried to kill me.
You showed great courage.
This planet is called Fire.
That's original.
Show some respect, Stanley!
For him, after what he put me through?
I am its Prince.
And I'm a captain. And who are those other people down there?
We're at war - a never ending war against them.
Fire is too hot to sustain human life, and we have no water.
They have no end of water, but they will not give us a single drop.
And so we are forced to suffer the torment of this horrible place, barely able to live.
But we will defeat them. Our suffering will end.
Who are those other people down there manning the bellows?
If we stop pumping, the cities will overheat and everyone will die.
Who are they?
They're enemies.
Will you help me to find Xev?
You are injured.
And you're cold.
At least I am alive.
I will help you.
I need your help, Stanley.
You command the Lexx.
And I have learned that the Lexx is a great weapon -
a weapon that will finally tip the scales.
I request your assistance. I must find Xev.
They have seen us, and they are descending.
Great.
Where are the balloons from?
From Fire.
Where is Fire?
Fire is the other planet up there, our enemies.
And now that you've pointed us out to them, they're coming down to kill us.
I am already dead, and I will protect you.
Who are you?
I am Kai, last of the Brunnen G, and I request that you assist me.
They are landing.
So I see. I hope you've got a plan, dead man.
Are you from Water or from Fire?
I came down from the insect in the sky. I am searching for Xev.
She is dressed in a lizard skin.
You could end this war.
Are you willing to help us?
Why should I, after what you did to me?
If you will agree to use the weapon on you ship to help us, I will be eternally grateful.
Right - so what's in it for me?
Stan.
Forget it, Xev, why should I help him?
Because you should.
Oh, make me laugh!
Stanley, if we don't help, his people will die.
Whose side are you on?
OK, I'm waiting - what's the deal?
As I said, I will be - eternally grateful.
Who are you? What are you doing here?
As I said, I am searching for a woman named Xev
and I am requesting your assistance.
You're from Girltown, right?
No. I am from Brunnis 2, by way of the Cluster.
You're playing with me?
Not yet, but I suspect I will be, soon.
You have nothing to tell me,
So die.
I will pick you up shortly.
I have no feelings against you.
Clearly you cannot defeat me, so I suggest that you assist me in my search for Xev,
rather than continue to be an obstacle.
You are my enemy, and you must die!
They have no end of water, and we die of thirst. Is that fair?
You call what you did to me fair?
Thank you.
So, May -
do you have any idea where Xev might be?
No, I don't know where she is -
but I do know where she's not.
Where?
If someone like her was here, on this planet, I would know.
I would have heard about her.
So she's not here.
We will help him Stan - that's it!
You don't know what he's like.
Yes I do.
No, you got it all wrong.
No, you've got it all wrong.
It really is a matter of life and death
Who is he?
I think that was Prince. The ruler of Fire. The man who destroyed my life.
A very lucky shot indeed.
He wouldn't have expected it from one of his own balloons.
I think that's Kai -
it is Kai!
Let me take this out.
Promise me something, Xev.
Yes, what?
Promise me you won't let Water destroy us.
I promise.
I wanted you to love me.
I do.
I know it doesn't make any sense, but I think I really do.
He's dead.
He's dead!
It wasn't me - it wasn't.
Ring the bell.
You got the wrong idea.
You don't understand - we don't, we don't have, even have arrows.
You show him, Kai.
Come on Xev - Xev, Xev, come on. Xev, come on, we've got to go.
I'm not going.
You have little time.
Xev, did you hear that? We have little time.
Xev, he is dead, there's nothing you can do,
and this is a terrible, terrible place, so let's go, now.
That is correct. You are in great danger.
I don't care about danger.
Well I do, even when it comes to danger to you, I do.
So please Xev, please - let's go now.
Please?
Xev?
I'm May.
Hi. I'm Stanley Tweedle.
Let's go.
Xev?
Are you human?
I was.
Well, it's a lot cooler up here, don't you think Xev?
You alright?
I am OK.
That's beautiful.
Music dulls the pain.
You have it.
Oh, no, no, no, it's yours.
I don't need it anymore.
Thank you.
We are reaching centre orbit.
You must remain strapped in.
790!
Begone, foul thing!
What's wrong with you?
What's wrong with me is what is right with me.
I am deeply, madly, insanely and jealously in perfect love.
I know that, why are you acting this way?
You are so beautiful.
Let me swallow your manhood. I want to roll in your hay.
I want to bounce on your bun!
That's a switch.
Away, rotting carcass! Leave me be with the man I love.
Hold me, Kai - hold me now!
790 fell off the bridge. He was damaged. I reassembled him.
I am damaged by love.
I was the first thing he laid eyes on after he was reset.
You are the first and only, you dead gorgeous drop of man.
790, don't you remember me?
Ah! Slut germs! Slut germs!
It's not my day with men, I guess.
It's my day, with my man.
So - Stanley
Will you help me?
Yeah, if I can.
Then destroy Fire and end the war.
Blow up Fire?
Yes.
It's an evil place.
Destroy it, and end its evil.
How do you know it's evil?
Well, one visit and I'm certainly left with that impression.
Prince was not evil.
Yes he was.
Not. I could see into him, and I could see something you clearly couldn't.
Oh, please Xev - you're a love slave, you just had the hots for him. Your judgement was impaired.
No, it's not that simple.
Yes, it is that simple, it was just fancy talk to get into your pants.
You don't know anything.
Other than the truth, Xev.
The truth is, Prince was a great man, and she killed him.
Destroy the planet, Stanley. It's the right thing to do.
Kai?
What do you think?
About what?
Should I destroy the planet?
Why should you want to destroy it?
Because it's an evil place.
So she says.
It is an evil place.
Stanley, maybe you don't quite get it. The two planets are at war.
One planet has nothing, the other planet has everything.
Who are we to judge a whole world?
Destroying a planet with people on it is not exactly the same as blowing up an asteroid
or a moon, don't you agree?
I think she's the evil one, telling you to do that.
Plus, we already know that she's a murderer.
You don't know anything.
Prince killed everyone I ever knew and took my whole world away from me.
You lie.
Xev.
It's simple. Water is good. Fire is evil. You can end the war, Stanley.
Well, yeah, but look, I don't even know if the Lexx's weapon works anymore.
How long were we frozen?
Answer, 790.
I calculate 4332 standard years.
Wow - four thousand?
Lexx - are you still there?
Yes I am, Stan.
Good. How are ya?
I am very hungry.
Well, that's reasonable.
Lexx - is your weapon still working?
I mean, if I asked you to blow up a planet, could you do that?
I think my weapon still has enough charge in it, Stan.
Which planet would you like me to destroy?
None - none just yet - just to make things perfectly clear.
But Lexx's main drive still does not work.
Oh yeah, right. Lexx - can you go anywhere on your own?
No Stan, I cannot. I am very hungry.
Yeah, I hear ya.
As Lexx cannot propel himself, he cannot control where he is pointed.
And since he is unable to destroy anything unless directly pointed at it,
then there is no need for you to decide whether or not to destroy the planet called Fire -
at least, not for the time being.
Yeah, I think I get that - so, so -
how long will it be before Lexx is pointed at Fire again?
29 necrophilia filled hours!
Oh, you're not OK.
I am OK.
No, no you're not, I saw it. You're in pain.
I'm pretty good with pain.
Now this - this is the protein regenerator.
Stanley.
How did this happen?
I don't know, it's - it's broken.
How?
I don't know.
This can fix your shoulder.
It hasn't been used in a few thousand years, so it's a little jammed up,
but I can get it working in no time.
That's OK, I'll get that fixed later May.
Listen, just let me, let me take a look at your shoulder.
Please.
You're very attractive May. Do you mind me saying that?
No.
I'm only saying it because it's true. I'm not trying to mean anything by it.
I know, Stanley.
I mean, you know, imply anything.
I know, Stanley.
I can trust you, can't I?
You can trust me.
We need moths.
Two for now. More in the future.
They are mothbreeders.
They will grow new moths and install the bio-mechanics.
They're human beings?
They were. Like you, they were once prisoners on the Cluster.
Their sentence was to be physically altered to perform the specific task of mothbreeding.
And, they were here all along? Why didn't you ever tell us about them?
You did not ask. And a mothbreeder is not useful for anything else.
Their brains have been mostly removed,
as well as all other physical parts not related to their job.
All other physical parts?
Yes.
Xev, Kai! I've been looking all over for you guys.
Mothbreeders. They will grow us new moths.
If we are to feed the Lexx, we must have a way to bring food to him.
Kai, you gotta help me.
You gotta tell 790 to help me,
I mean it, I mean it more than I've ever meant it before.
Come on, please?
She has a septic infection and is going to die.
Don't say that. People don't die of infections. We can fix you up.
We can cure far more complicated things than a simple infection, right?
Yes we can - if the protein regenerator were working.
Well, then we'll, we'll freeze her in the cryopod
until we can get the protein regenerator fixed.
We can't because it's broken.
Kai - tell 790 to fix the protein regenerator.
Please, my darling deceased delight -
I don't need another woman onboard to compete with.
You're not a woman - you're a robot head.
Repair the protein regenerator, 790.
I cannot repair it.
Why not?
Because he doesn't have hands.
I'll be your hands, you just tell me exactly what to do.
It's precise and delicate work. You are far too clumsy.
OK, then Kai can do it. You can do it, can't you, Kai?
If 790 instructs me.
But there are many small parts, and it will take time.
OK, look, look, let's just get going.
Well, aren't you gonna help?
She killed Prince, so it's fair.
It is not fair!
I think she deserves to die!
How can you say that?!
I'm sorry, but that's how I feel.
That's how you feel? That's how you feel, is it?
Yes!
That's how you feel?
Yes!
Well, this is how I feel!
She killed Prince,
so as far as I'm concerned she can die too, and that's just how I feel.
Well, just - just go Xev, just leave. I can fix it without you.
I can fix it. I know I can fix it.
Stanley?
You're a good man, Stanley.
Stanley?
What?
It's OK, Stanley.
What, what?
Everyone I know is dead. I don't have anything to live for.
Yeah, oh yes, yes you do, yes you do!
I'm glad I killed Prince. I'm glad I shot him.
Yeah well I am, I am too. Look, you gotta rest, OK, you gotta save your strength.
Stanley?
What?
I would have liked you Stanley. I know I would have.
No, no, don't, don't say would have, OK?
I don't think I can hold out much longer.
Yes you can, yes you can.
It's just an infection, you're gonna get better, you just gotta fight it.
I'll try, but I'm not sure that I can.
Well, you've gotta try. You gotta promise me that you gotta try, OK, you gonna try,
you gonna promise me, hm?
Promise.
Look, this, this must be all of them. I can't see any more parts.
You do not have the cooker. You cannot proceed any further until you have it.
But this is all there is. There aren't any more parts
What does it look like?
Green, with a yellow stripe.
OK then, you're just gonna have to make it work without the cooker.
Not possible.
But - it's not here now, so it couldn't have been here before.
Here it is.
Now - insert the tubular casing into the enzyme pack -
the green plug goes on the end.
I'm sorry Stan.
Yeah, well, I'm sorry too Xev.
Thanks.
OK now, you see, we're gonna get this thing up and running in no time,
and you are going to be as good as new,
you are going to be better than new, OK?
What's wrong?
I'm not sure. It should be working.
You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?
No he's not.
We must disassemble it.
But we can't, we don't have time, I mean, just look at her.
No Kai, don't, don't, it's a robot trick.
This machine has not been operated for thousands of years.
One or more of its sub components are not functioning properly.
We must disassemble it, find the non-functioning part or parts,
perform any necessary repairs and then return to this process.
No.
Stan, listen to 790.
No, no, look, we don't have time, just, just look at her. May!
Oh, we lose her!
Is it working now? Come on, robot head, tell me, is it working now?
No.
Is it working now?
No.
What do we do?
Whatever you want, it doesn't matter.
What do you mean, it doesn't matter?
We lost her.
No.
She is dead.
No - you can't know that.
I am good at determining the state of death.
It was a required function for assassins of the Divine Order.
It's OK, just, you can go away,
OK, just lave me alone, please, please just leave me alone.
All right.
Stanley's behaviour should not be unexpected.
Both of you have had only limited contact
with real human beings for a long time.
I believe you are emotionally vulnerable.
I know I am.
And I've never had much contact with real human beings -
living ones, that is.
I would have liked you Stanley. I know I would have.
I know I would have. I know I would have.
May? May? May? May, are you there?
Am I here Stanley? Am I? I am here for you Stanley, if you want me to be.
May?
Do you want me Stanley?
May? May, are you there?
She's there Stanley. She's there. She's there for you if you want her to be.
Prince?
She's there Stanley. She's there for you if you want her to be.
Prince, what are you doing here? You're dead, aren't you?
Do you want her, Stanley?
What - what are you talking about?
Do you want May?
Do you want her to be there,
to be alive and yours, yours alone?
I dunno. What are you talking about, what are you saying?
I'm saying, do you want May to be alive and yours, or not?
Well, um, but she's dead.
Yes - but she does not have to be dead, if you don't want her to be.
But how?
You saw me die, hmm? Do you want May to live, Stanley?
Yes, yes I want May to live and be mine alone.
Good. Then you and I will make a deal.
I will give you May.
And in return, you will agree to use this ship, the Lexx,
to help me destroy the planet Water.
But there are people on the planet Water.
Yes there are people there.
Can they leave?
They must also be destroyed along with the planet.
When would I have to do this?
As soon as you can.
No. No, I can't. I mean,
I can't destroy an entire planet and everybody on it for,
for just one person.
That's a good decision. You passed the test.
Does this mean May will live now?
No, no. This means May, will stay as she is.
She will remain dead.
Prince? Prince?
Prince?
I agree.
I'll use the Lexx to blow up Water if May can live.
I agree! Prince? Prince!
Stanley?
May? You're alive?
