TEASE

[PREVIOUSLY ON: Our crew awakens from stasis without theirmemories, name themselves numerically, bring the Androidonline, he discovers the ship has a preset destination, meetthe miners who tell them they are battling Ferrous Corp andto beware the legendary Raza, the crew makes the decision togive them weapons, they discover their true identities].

FADE IN:

1 INT. SHIP - BRIDGE 1

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and the Android stand on the bridge, staringat their mugshots and litany of offenses.

ONENo. It's impossible. There's noway. This can't be right.

(beat)Can it?

ANDROIDI recovered the information from afragment of the ship's logs relatedto its crew list. There's no reasonto doubt its veracity.

TWOOf course not. In fact, it all makesperfect sense now. The Raza -

ANDROIDThis ship -

TWOBut as far as those miners know: arace of bloodthirsty aliens, monsters,come to wipe them out.

THREE(with a little pride)

The stuff of legend.

ONEThe stuff of nightmares.

SIXBut truth is we're nothing but abunch of low-life mercenaries.

(CONTINUED)

DARK MATTER EPISODE 102 WHITE 11-27-14 2.

1 CONTINUED: 1

THREENo we're not.

(pointing at the screen)We're also thieves, pirates, smugglers -it's a very diversified portfolio.

ONEYou think this is funny?

THREEIt's my defense mechanism: humor. And, apparently, killing people.

SIXI think we need to talk about ournext move.

THREEHe's right. Hate to be the one tosay it, but if all this is true, itmeans we came here to do a job.

ONEYou want to go down to the planetand kill those people?

TWONo one's killing anyone.

THREEI didn't say I want to. I'm justthinking about the people who hiredus.

SIXFerrous Corporation. Galacticcombine.

THREEExactly. Not the sort who take kindlyto disappointment, I'm guessing.

ONEToo bad. I'm no murderer.

THREEThe screen says otherwise.

ONEI don't care what it says.

THREE throws a look to the Android.

(CONTINUED)


1 CONTINUED: (2) 1

THREEIs this all you managed to dig up?

ANDROIDUnfortunately, the rest of the datawas corrupted.

SIXWell, I suppose this is plenty. Hell of a lot more than I wanted toknow anyway.

FOUR (O.S.)We all wanted to know, and now wedo.

They swing a look to FOUR.

FOUR (CONT'D)These are the memories we left behind:death, despair, and chaos. So what? If they're no longer a part of us,what does it even matter?

And, with that, FOUR strides off, leaving them to contemplatethose mugshots...and the list of offenses. Clearly, to afew of them, it does matter. It matters a lot.

The others slowly file out after him, leaving only TWO, eyeslocked on the screen, and the Android.

ANDROIDShould I continue my attempts atdata retrieval?

It's almost as if TWO doesn't even hear her.

ANDROID (CONT'D)Portia - ?

TWODon't call me that. No computerfile is going to tell me who I am.

She considers, throws a look to the Android.

TWO (CONT'D)Call me Two.

And, with that, she too leaves the bridge.

END OF TEASE


ACT ONE

2 VFX - SPACE 2

The Raza in orbit.


FIVE sits alone on the bridge, staring up at the mugshots. She seems troubled, deep in thought. Suddenly, from thecorner of her eye, she catches sight of -

The Android suddenly there, standing only a few feet away.

FIVE(startled gasp)

ANDROIDI'm sorry. I didn't mean to startleyou.

FIVEYou didn't startle me. You scaredthe crap out of me sneaking up likethat.

ANDROID(pleased)

My stealth subroutines are veryefficient.

FIVEWell dial them back. Or say somethingthe next time you walk into a room.

She redirects focus back to the screen. Beat.

ANDROIDAre you afraid of them now?

FIVEYou think I should be?

ANDROIDTheir history shows a propensity forviolence, mental instability, extremeanti-social behavior, deceit -

(CONTINUED)


3 CONTINUED: 3

FIVEWhat's important is who they arenow.

ANDROIDAn admirable attitude. Also,potentially a very foolish anddangerous one.

FIVEHey, you're the one who tried tokill us.

ANDROIDThe result of a programmed directivethat has since been deleted.

FIVESame with them maybe, right?

The Android considers. The kid has a point.

ANDROIDIf it's not fear, then why are youupset?

FIVEWhat makes you think I'm upset?

ANDROIDI can see muscular tension in yourjaw and shoulders. I can hear asmall increase is both respiratoryrate and heart rate. I can smell adistinct shift in pheromone production -

FIVEOkay, okay. I get it.

She looks back at the screen.

FIVE (CONT'D)If you want to know, it's becauseI'm the only one who's not in thefiles. I'm not one of the crew. Sohow did I get onboard this ship?

The Android has no answer.

FIVE (CONT'D)At least they know they belong here. I'm still just a big question mark.

(CONTINUED)

DARK MATTER EPISODE 102 YELLOW PAGES 1-9-15 6.

3 CONTINUED: (2) 3

ANDROIDThere may come a time when you'llconsider yourself lucky not to becounted among the crew of this ship.

FIVEWell right now, I just wish I waspart of the team.

She heads for the exit, then pauses and looks back.

FIVE (CONT'D)Oh, and one other thing: maybe don'tgo around telling people you cansmell their pheromones. It's notgonna win you any friends.

And with that, she exits. The Android considers.

ANDROIDBut I can smell them.

4 INT. MARAUDER (DOCKED) 4

THREE sits alongside SIX as the big man runs him throughShuttle Operations 101:

SIXWeapons array, sensors, navigationand critical systems. Flip this,close that, hit these two and youbring the engines online.

THREEHow do you know all this?

SIX(a little frustrated)

I don't know, I just do. Maybe youdo too. Try it.

THREE takes a breath, and then tries the controls. After amoment a loud ALARM begins to sound. SIX springs into action,quickly shutting everything down. The ALARM goes silent.

SIX (CONT'D)Maybe not.

THREEI can't concentrate anyway. Thiswhole thing has got me thinking.

(CONTINUED)


4 CONTINUED: 4

SIXYeah, tell me about it.

THREEWhich one of us do you figure hasthe bigger rep?

SIXHunh?

THREEI mean, just based on what we knowabout each other - which I know isn'tthat much to go on - rank us in orderof Most Wanted, from "super bad-ass"to "cause for concern".

Off SIX's blank stare -

THREE (CONT'D)For instance, I don't know aboutyou, but I'd put me at number one,then you in the number two slot. Boss Lady in third on account of herattitude and then ol' SlashyStabberson would be fourth. PrettyBoy and the kid are a tie for lastplace because she looks like shemight have a bit of a temper.

SIXYou serious?

THREEWhat? You'd rate her higher?

SIXThis doesn't bother you at all?

THREEWhat?

SIXThe fact that we're wanted criminals? That if we get caught we'll spendthe rest of our lives locked away -if we're lucky? The fact that fromhereon in, we're going to be thetargets of our former victims andtheir friends and loved ones andanyone else looking to cash in on

(MORE)

(CONTINUED)


4 CONTINUED: (2) 4

SIX (CONT'D)Our bounties - none of whom, by theway, we'll see coming because wedon't remember anything pastyesterday.

THREE considers, then shrugs.

THREENot really.

Then, throwing a look to SIX.

THREE (CONT'D)You?

Off SIX's look of disbelief -

5 INT. SHIP - MESS 5

TWO sits alone, drinking her coffee. ONE takes a seat acrossfrom her. She looks up, locks eyes with him.

TWOWhat now?

ONEI've been thinking.

TWOYeah, that's something you need toget under control.

ONEThose weapons in the cargo hold, thematching pendants - at first, Ithought it meant we were the oneswho were supposed to help the miners,that WE were their saviors. Now I'mwondering if it means we killed theirsaviors and heisted their delivery.

TWOYour point?

ONEIf I'm right, Ferrous Corp isn'tgoing to let this go. If we don'tdo the job, they're just going tosend someone else.

(CONTINUED)

DARK MATTER EPISODE 102 PINK PAGES 12-19-14 8A.

5 CONTINUED: 5

TWOWhich is why we stick to the plan. We give the miners half the weapons,and a fighting chance.

(CONTINUED)


5 CONTINUED: (2) 5

ONEWe can do better. Go all the way. Commit to something. We can fightwith them.

TWO stares at him.

TWOThat would be suicide.

ONENot necessarily. If half of what'sin those files is true, it means wecan handle ourselves.

TWOIt also means you could spend therest of your life doing good deedsand not even come close to making upfor it.

ONE looks away frustrated, but TWO is not done -

TWO (CONT'D)I know what you're trying to do, andit's not going to work. You don'twant to be what those files say youare, fair enough. I don't much wantto either. But I'm not gonna killmyself trying to make up for crimesI don't even remember committing.

She stands.

TWO (CONT'D)We stick to the plan.

ONEAnd who made you team leader?

TWOI did by stepping up. And so didall of you by not challenging mewhen I did.

She stares down at him.

TWO (CONT'D)Unless you've had a change of heartand think you can do a better job?

A stare-down. Beat. He blinks first.

(CONTINUED)

DARK MATTER EPISODE 102 PINK PAGES 12-19-14 10.

5 CONTINUED: (3) 5

TWO (CONT'D)Didn't think so.

She goes out, leaving him to stew.

6 INT. SHIP - FOUR'S QUARTERS 6

FOUR sits up in bed, puzzle box in hand. He studies it hard,trying to jog his memory. Beat. He makes a couple ofadjustments, reconsiders. He's stumped.

7 INT. MARAUDER - COCKPIT (DOCKED) 7

ONE, THREE, and SIX settle in. As SIX goes through his pre-flight check, FOUR enters. THREE watches as FOUR unhookshis sword and sets it aside before taking a seat.

THREESeriously, what's with the sword?

FOURIt's quicker, more effective in closequarter combat.

THREE(dubious)

More effective than a gun?

FOURWithout a doubt.

THREEYou figure you could outdraw me withthose?

FOURI'd have your head off before youcould even unholster.

TWO (O.S.)Hold up!

They glance back at TWO in the cargo hold. She addressesONE -

TWO (CONT'D)I need to talk to you.

ONE exchanges confused looks with SIX, then gets up and joinsTWO -


8 INT. MARAUDER - CARGO HOLD (DOCKED) 8

In the cargo hold. She hits the console, sealing them offfrom the cockpit, then turns and studies him, arms crossed,like a parent considering a child. Finally -

TWOLook, I may have been a little hardon you before. Believe me, I knowhow you feel. We all do. But tenminutes after discovering you usedto be a villain is not the time totry to be a hero. Baby steps, okay?

ONEOkay.

She gauges him.

TWOI'm serious. There's no room forindependent action. We need to watcheach others' backs, and we need tostick together. Do you understandwhat I'm saying?

ONEI - think so.

TWO(sighs)

Once those weapons have been deliveredand that shuttle comes back, I wantyou on it. Understood?

ONEYeah.

TWO smiles, palpably relieved. She gives him a friendly paton the cheek, perhaps a little too hard as it elicits a wince.

TWOAlright. Safe flight.

She walks off. He watches her go. Without even a look back -

TWO (CONT'D)And stop staring at my ass.


9 INT. MARAUDER (DOCKED) 9

ONE takes a seat as the airlock doors slide shut behind him.

SIXBuckle up!

The console lights up. All green.

10 VFX - SPACE 10

The Marauder leaves the ship and moves down toward the planet.

11 EXT. MINING COMMUNITY -- DAY (MATTE) 11

The facility covers several acres, with large warehouses,smokestacks, cranes, gantries, barracks and the like. Ithas a grimy, industrial feel, in marked contrast to thelandscape around it.

12 EXT. MINING COMMUNITY - ALLEYWAY -- DAY 12

Miners come and go, helping to transport the weapons delivery.

13 INT. MINING COMMUNITY - STORE ROOM -- DAY 13

ONE helps the miners stack the weapons against the far wall. As the miners head off to get more, he takes a moment tocheck out the contents of one crate.

He pulls out a sidearm and studies it, weighing itthoughtfully as if trying to jog his memory, gauge his comfortlevel with the weapon. A lifetime ago...

MIREILLE (O.S.)I'm sorry we couldn't do more foryou.

ONE glances back at Mireille who walks over with a small box -

MIREILLE (CONT'D)But all we had we gave to Hrothgar.

And sets it down atop the others.

ONEDon't worry about it.

He sets the sidearm back.

(CONTINUED)


13 CONTINUED: 13

MIREILLEBut what about your employer? Howare you going to explain -

ONEIntergalactic transport's a riskybusiness. Cargo gets misplaced orstolen all the time. Insurance'llcover the loss.

MIREILLEYou're good people.

The last thing ONE wants to hear.

ONENo. That we're not.

MIREILLEOf course you are. You've helpedus, probably saved our lives.

ONEI'm starting to think it's just theopposite. By letting you have theseweapons, I'm afraid we're just givingyou false hope.

Off her surprised look -

ONE (CONT'D)You can't win this. If you stayhere and fight, you'll die.

MIREILLEI'd rather die than abandon thisworld. It's all we have.

She gauges a concerned ONE and throws him a hopeful look -

MIREILLE (CONT'D)But I'm hoping it won't come to that. We have help coming - and moreweapons.

THREE approaches, flanked by Keeley toting a big gun.

THREEThat's the spirit. Don't let thebastards get you down. As for us,we'd best be getting back to ourship.

(CONTINUED)


13 CONTINUED: (2) 13

KEELEYNot yet. At least allow us to thankyou -

THREEThat bloodthirsty look in your eyesis all the thanks I need.

Keeley slaps a comradely hand around THREE's shoulders.

KEELEY- With song and drink!

THREE brightens, claps his arm around Keeley's shoulder -

THREEWell, who doesn't like a good song?

14 INT. SHIP - CORRIDOR F 14

TWO steps up, is about to hit the door console when FIVEswings around the corner.

FIVEOh, hey. I took another look atthat console on the bridge, but Ithink it's really fried. At leastuntil we can get some spare parts. Sorry.

TWOThat's okay.

TWO hits the console, opening the door to her quarters.

FIVECan I ask you something? I know youdidn't exactly get the answers youwere looking for, but if you couldgo back to when we first woke up,and not know, would you?

TWOI suppose I might. But I have afeeling that not knowing would makeme want to know all over again.

TWO heads inside.

(CONTINUED)


14 CONTINUED: 14

FIVEWell, I guess the next big mysterythat needs solving is who stole ourmemories.

TWONo one stole our memories. It wasan accident.

FIVENo it wasn't.

TWO stares at her. But before she can say anything -

ANDROID (OVER RADIO)Two, you need to come to the bridgeimmediately.


TWO and FIVE step onto the bridge where the Android awaits.

TWOWhat is it?

They hold up at the sight of -

One of the screens shows a ship (Ferrous Corp Destroyer) inorbit.

ANDROIDAnother ship. It just dropped outof FTL.

OFF a stunned TWO and FIVE -

END OF ACT ONE


ACT TWO

16 VFX - SPACE 16

The two ships in planetary orbit.


The Android on the bridge with TWO and FIVE.

TWOWho is it?

ANDROIDFerrous Corporation destroyer. They've already launched a shuttle. It's headed for the planet's surface.

TWOWe've got to get our people off thatplanet. Did you contact the Marauderand warn them?

ANDROIDI attempted communication but receivedno response.

TWOShit.

All notice a light on the console start flashing.

ANDROIDWe're being hailed by the other ship. Would you like me to - ?

TWOIgnore it.

She steps up to the console, stabs a button.

TWO (CONT'D)Marauder, this is the Raza. You'vegot trouble headed your way.

18 INT. MARAUDER -- DAY 18

Sits empty. We hear TWO's voice come over the comm -

TWOMarauder, do you read?


19 INT. MINING COMMUNITY - COMMISSARY -- DAY 19

A time for celebration - and THREE is making the most of it,knocking back drinks with some miners, Keeley among them. They sit at one of the tables, playing a drinking game -

THREE/MINERS(laughing)

FOUR sits at the far end of the table, separate from themerriment. He eyes his mug, sniffs it suspiciously, andsets it back down.

ONE and SIX sit at a neighboring table, nursing their drinksand surveying the upbeat miners.

ONEWe eat their food, drink their drink,and then just leave them to die.

SIXHey, if you've got another suggestionthat doesn't involve us dying herewith them, I'd love to hear it.

ONEMaybe we should tell them the truth.

SIXAnd say what exactly? That we'remercenaries sent here to kill them?

ONEThey should know that no more helpis coming.

SIXWon't make a difference.

ONEMaybe not. But WE might.

SIX doesn't like where this conversation is headed -

SIXDon't even think about it.

ONEWe're very, very bad people who'vedone a lot of very bad things - but

(MORE)

(CONTINUED)


19 CONTINUED: 19

ONE (CONT'D)This is our chance to put our uniqueskill set to good use. We standalongside these miners and, whenFerrous Corp comes, we hurt them,hurt them so bad they'll think twiceabout bothering with this planet.

SIX(chuckles)

ONEWhat?

SIXYou're nothing if not predictable. Two told me you'd say all of that,practically word for word.

ONE(frustrated sigh)

SIX jabs a finger at him.

SIXShe also told me to do whatever ittakes to make sure you come backwith us, including knocking you outand dragging you back if I have to.

ONEReally?

SIX cocks a knowing eyebrow -

SIXShe did ask me not to hit you in theface though...which tells me she'ssweet on you.

ONE sits back in his chair uncertainly -

ONEReally?

A panicked miner (TOMAS) rushes into the mess -

TOMASFerrous Corp's here!

The miners scrambles up, head for the door, leaving -

(CONTINUED)



Our crew to exchange uncertain looks. ONE jumps to his feetand heads out. THREE, FOUR, and SIX get up and follow.


The Android and FIVE look on as a desperate TWO attempts toreach the rest of the crew -

TWOMarauder, this is The Raza. Are youthere?

ANDROIDWe might consider the possibilitythat they've already encountered theFerrous Corp shuttle.

TWO considers, then points to the flashing array -

TWOPatch me through.

ANDROIDDone.

TWO leans into the console, addresses -

TWOThis is The Raza. Please, respond.

(beat)This is The Raza. Please -

A voice comes over the array -

COMMANDER NIEMAN (OVER RADIO)This is Commander Nieman of the FCSDeliverance. Took you long enough.

TWOApologies. What can I do for you,Commander?

COMMANDER NIEMAN (OVER RADIO)Well you can start by telling mewhat the hell is going on? Why youdidn't complete your mission or updateus on your status?

(CONTINUED)


20 CONTINUED: 20

TWOThere were some complications we hadto contend with but - we haveeverything under control now. Pleasehave your shuttle fall back.

COMMANDER NIEMAN (OVER RADIO)Negative, Raza. Contingency planshave been enacted.

TWOAgain, that won't be necessary,Deliverance. This is our show.

COMMANDER NIEMAN (OVER RADIO)Not anymore it's not. Raza, I'm onmy way over.

Off an anxious TWO -

21 INT. MINING COMMUNITY - MAIN AREA -- DAY 21

A group of armed Ferrous Corp soldiers, wearing body armorand helmets, make their way down an alley. They are led byCAPTAIN SALEHI.

A shot is fired at the feet of the Captain.

REVEAL NASSAN, Keeley, and a group of miners, who have takenup defensive positions ahead of the soldiers.

NASSANThat's far enough!

CAPTAIN SALEHIIs that any way to act, after FerrousCorp made you such a generous offer?!

KEELEYGenerous?! You'd turn us into slaveson our own land!

CAPTAIN SALEHIOne last chance to reconsider!

ONE (O.S.)Whoa! Whoa!

ONE arrives on the scene, and steps out from behind theminers, arms raised, and approaches Salehi - whose eyes narrowin recognition.

(CONTINUED)


21 CONTINUED: 21

ONE (CONT'D)Hold up!

THREE, FOUR, and SIX arrive - a couple of steps too late. They hang back -

SIXDamnit.

ONE motions for the miners to lower their weapons.

ONENo one wants a fight here.

The miners exchange uncertain looks, then slowly lower theirweapons. Captain Salehi locks eyes with ONE and gives him aslight nod, then holsters his own gun and motions for hismen to lower theirs. They do.

FOUR pushes his way through the miners and steps up behindONE, hand resting on the pommel of his sword. His intentionis clear. He's back-up.

ONE and Salehi speak quietly, face to face, out of earshotof the others.

CAPTAIN SALEHIYou had a job to do, Corso.

ONEWell, we took some time to thinkthings through and decided on a changeof plans.

Off Salehi's confused look.

ONE (CONT'D)Take your men and leave. Tell yourbosses that we're with these peoplenow.

CAPTAIN SALEHIYou can't be serious. What did theyoffer you?

ONEYou know us. You know what we'recapable of. Think of the costs.

Salehi considers.

(CONTINUED)



ONE (CONT'D)It's not worth it. Find anotherplanet.

CAPTAIN SALEHIIt's not up to me. I'll have totake this upstairs.

ONEFair enough.

Salehi nods, then turns to go. ONE is palpably relieved.

Then, suddenly, Salehi swings around and goes for his sidearm.

FOUR shoves a surprised ONE aside and draws his sword -

Slashing through Salehi's neck before he can even unholster.

A moment of stunned silence. No one on either side can quiteprocess what just happened.

THUNK. The Captain's head hits the ground.

CLOSE ON SIX -

SIXOh, crap.

All hell breaks loose. The Ferrous soldiers open fire. THREE and SIX return fire.

FOUR, using the Captain's headless body as a shield, divesfor cover while -

ONE scrambles to unholster his sidearm.

A Ferrous Corp. soldier (SERGEANT VOSS) is hunkered down,radioing someone back amid the firefight.

SERGEANT VOSSWe are under fire! I repeat, we areunder fire!

The GUNFIRE DIES DOWN.

SERGEANT VOSS (CONT'D)The mercs turned, they're with theminers! We need back up!

He falls silent and looks up at - SIX standing over him, gunleveled.

(CONTINUED)



SIXShut the hell up.

ONE, down on the ground,looks up. People dead on both sides -but the Ferrous Corp soldiers took the worst of it.

He slowly rises. FOUR steps out of cover and sheathes hissword. THREE walks over and surveys the carnage. He holstershis sidearm and casually informs them.

THREEThat actually went better than Ithought it would.

Off a horrified ONE -

END OF ACT TWO


ACT THREE

22 VFX - SPACE 22

A shuttle is launched from the Ferrous Corp ship towards TheRaza.


The Android informs TWO and FIVE -

ANDROIDTheir shuttle is en route.

TWO considers, then throws a look to FIVE -

TWOGo. Hide. And don't come out untilwe tell you it's safe.

FIVE hesitates.

TWO (CONT'D)Go!

FIVE is startled into action. She hurries off.

ANDROIDThe shuttle is within weapons range.

TWOWhat about their ship? Can we takeit?

ANDROIDWe have an advantage in speed andmaneuverability. But this ship isstill far from fully operational.

OFF TWO, pondering her options -

24 INT. SHIP - CORRIDOR (CORRIDOR A) 24

FIVE is heading down the corridor when she stops - and eyesthe opening to a ventilation shaft.


25 INT. SHIP - VENTILATION SHAFT 25

FIVE crawls in, reaches back and fastens the grill back intoplace. Satisfied, she turns and starts down the narrow shaft.

26 INT. SHIP - CORRIDOR OUTSIDE AIRLOCK (CORRIDOR G) 26

TWO and the Android stand by. We hear the O.S. HISS OFDECOMPRESSION. Beat. The airlock slides open and CommanderNieman steps out. He is accompanied by two armed guards.

TWO Welcome aboard.

27 INT. MINING COMMUNITY - IMPROMPTU TRIAGE AREA -- DAY 27

The injured lie on cots, having their wounds tended to bytheir fellow miners, among them Nassan and Mireille whoapplies a bandage to a superficial arm wound Keeley received. SIX and ONE hurry in with a badly wounded miner.

THREE and FOUR step in after them and hang back at theentrance, looking on as ONE and SIX set the miner down on acot. Mireille hurries over to help.

SIXApply pressure here. Here.

SIX ties off a tourniquet on the man's leg.

MIREILLEYou've had medical training.

SIXYeah. I guess so.

MIREILLEGood. We can use your expertise.

THREENo.

They all look to THREE at the entrance.

THREE (CONT'D)We can't stay.

(CONTINUED)


27 CONTINUED: 27

ONEOf course we can. Just for a littlelonger to help the injured -

THREEWe have to leave. Now.

ONEYou selfish sonova-

SIX rises, cutting him off.

SIXHe's right. We can't stay.

SIX locks eyes with ONE. His words are a warning as much asthey are statement of fact.

SIX (CONT'D)We've got a hike back to the Marauderand there could be more of them outthere.

One of the other miners, HAGEN, pipes up -

HAGENYou're just going to abandon us?

THREEStaying was never part of the deal.

HAGENWell neither was killing thosesoldiers. And now you're just goingto leave us to deal with the fallout?

THREEFriend, the fallout would've been ahell of a lot uglier if we hadn'tbeen here so - you're welcome.

HAGENYou've got a shuttle; a ship.

ONE appeals to the miners.

ONEThat's right. And they're at yourdisposal if any of you want to leave. We'll transport you off this planetand take you somewhere safe.

(CONTINUED)

They all stare back at him.

ONE (CONT'D)You stood up to them. You made yourpoint. But now it's time to go. This is a war you can't win.

Beat. No takers.

ONE (CONT'D)Please.

HAGENYou're nothing but cowards. All ofyou.

NASSANHagen, that's enough. This is ourbattle and we can't expect anyoneelse to fight it for us. These peoplerisked their lives, offered morethan we had any right to ask of them.

He surveys his fellow miners -

NASSAN (CONT'D)We have help coming. Once it getshere, we'll be okay.

ONE throws a look to SIX.

Nassan turns, addresses ONE and the rest of the crew -

NASSAN (CONT'D)We appreciate all you've done forus. Godspeed.

SIXGood luck to you.

ONE looks at Mireille. She drops her gaze. SIX waits. Finally, reluctantly, ONE heads for the door. SIX follows.

28 INT. SHIP - VENTILATION SHAFT 28

FIVE moves through the narrow passageway like a rat scurryingthrough a maze, taking one turn then another. She happensupon a grill and stops, looks down through it.

DARK MATTER EPISODE 102 PINK PAGES 12-19-14 27A.


The grill is removed and FIVE lowers herself into the room. She takes a seat on the bed and looks over her surroundings. Her eyes fall on the night table. She considers then -

Scooches over and starts checking out the drawers. She stops. Her eyes light up. She pulls something out of hiding -

ON the Android on one side of the corridor, standing upstraight, hands behind her back. Waiting. She offers anamiable smile across the ways to -

ANDROIDSo. Do either of you possessoffspring?

Commander Nieman's escort, who flank the sealed mess entranceon the other side of the corridor. They stare dead ahead,stonefaced. Beat. Back to - the Android smiling pleasantlyback at them.


TWO and Commander Nieman discuss.

COMMANDER NIEMANYou were hired to do a job.

TWOLike I said - complications arose.

COMMANDER NIEMANAnd continue to do so apparently. On my way over, I received word thatwe suffered casualties on the planet -

TWOI'm sorry to hear that -

COMMANDER NIEMANAnd that your people were responsible.

She falls silent. Shit.

COMMANDER NIEMAN (CONT'D)Ours is a cutthroat business. Inthis sector alone we're competingwith six other multicorps forplanetary resources. Our major rival,the Mikkei Combine, has beenparticularly aggressive.

He gauges her. She is impassive.

(CONTINUED)


31 CONTINUED: 31

COMMANDER NIEMAN (CONT'D)The discovery of that tarium veinwas a major coup, and one the companyseeks to start exploiting immediately. That planet is the only habitableworld in range.

TWOThen maybe you should've startedwith the fair offer instead of tryingto bully the miners into submission.

COMMANDER NIEMANI didn't come here to talk aboutwhat we can do for them. I'm hereto discuss what we can do for you.

TWOI'm listening.

COMMANDER NIEMANYou took payment in advance, andthen failed to do the job. That'sbad business. But lucky for you I'mfeeling generous today. I'm willingto call it even.

TWOIn exchange for?

COMMANDER NIEMANTurn this ship around and leave,immediately.

TWOThat's it? Just walk away?

COMMANDER NIEMANWhat's about to happen on thatplanet...well, it would be better ifthere were no witnesses.

TWOI've still got people down on there.

COMMANDER NIEMANThey made their choice. They openedfire on Ferrous Corp personnel, andthey have to answer for that. Isuggest you don't make the samemistake.

COMMANDER NIEMAN (CONT'D)(beat)

If it makes it easier, I'm preparedto throw in a bonus, just for you.

TWO considers for a moment, then fixes him with a look.

TWOHow much?


ONE, THREE, FOUR, and SIX return to the Marauder. Theyquickly buckle up as the doors seal shut behind them.

THREELet's get the hell off this rock.

The engines ROAR to life. SIX goes to input a set ofcoordinates. Suddenly, his face falls.

SIXUh, we got a problem.

ONEWhat?

SIXThe ship. It's gone.

THREE unbuckles and steps forward to take a look at the data.

THREEWhat do you mean "gone"?

ONEThere's something wrong with thedisplay or you're misreading thedata -

SIXNo. I'm telling you, it's not there. The Raza's gone.

And off his shocked fellow crew members -

END OF ACT THREE


ACT FOUR

33 EXT. QUARRY -- DAY 33

ON the Marauder parked in a quarry. (VFX)

SIX (O.S.)According to these readings, there'sonly one ship up there.


SIX informs the others (ONE, THREE, and FOUR).

SIXAnd it ain't ours.

ONEIs it possible The Raza came underfire, was forced to retreat?

SIXNo debris, no residual energysignatures - nothing to indicate anysort of battle. She just left us.

THREEThat bitch. I knew she couldn't betrusted.

Beat. ONE unbuckles himself, gets up and hits a button onthe console. The doors slide open. He heads out.

THREE (CONT'D)Whoa. Hey. Where're you going?

Too late. He's gone.

THREE (CONT'D)Idiot.

SIXWhy? Because he wants to help? Isthat so wrong?

THREEHe's not going back for them. He'sgoing back because he can't face thetruth.

(MORE)

(CONTINUED)


34 CONTINUED: 34

THREE (CONT'D)We're mercs - cutthroats andcriminals. Like it or not, that'sour reality.

SIXSo what do you suggest we do? We'resitting on the only habitable worldin sublight range. The shuttle'snot FTL capable.

THREEIt's a big planet. Let's find anice beach somewhere and wait thisout.

SIXOne's right. Those men we killedwere Corporate Guard. You reallythink they're just gonna let thatslide?

FOUR (O.S.)No.

They look over at FOUR, securing his swords to his belt.

FOUR (CONT'D)Better to die facing your enemies inbattle than to be hunted like animals.

And, with that, FOUR heads out.

THREEGuess it's you and me then.

SIXActually, it's just you.

SIX unbuckles, gets up.

THREEYou know I can't fly this thing.

SIXYou'd be too easy to track in theshuttle anyway. You're better offon foot. Although I'd bundle up ifI were you. It probably gets wellbelow freezing here at night.

(CONTINUED)



He heads out, leaving THREE to contemplate his very limitedoptions. Finally, he too unbuckles and gets up.

THREEAw, hell. Wait up!

35 EXT. MINING COMMUNITY -- DAY (MATTE RE-USE) 35

Establish.


ONE, THREE, FOUR, and SIX sit with Nassan and Keeley.

NASSANI'm sorry. We lead you to this. Ifyou hadn't taken the time to give usthose weapons, you never would'vebeen caught down here.

ONEWe wanted to help. Still do.

KEELEYThis isn't your fight.

SIXIt is now.

NASSANWell, I can't tell a man how to livehis life, so I won't tell him how toend it. It'll be an honor to fightalongside you all.

He raises his mug. They all toast and drink.

KEELEYWe could use some fresh eyes on theperimeter. Patrols are stretchedmighty thin. There's no way toanticipate when and where the nextattack will come.

FOUR sets his mug down.

FOURMaybe there is.


37 INT. MINING COMMUNITY - HOLDING ROOM -- DAY 37

Sergeant Voss sits alone. The rattle of the door bringshim to his feet. FOUR walks in and silently surveys theprisoner.

SERGEANT VOSSDouble-crossing us was a big mistake. You are your friends are all goingto die.

FOURHow?

The question takes Voss off-guard.

FOUR (CONT'D)Tell me. How are we going to die?

SERGEANT VOSSChoking on your own blood.

FOURCould you be more specific?

SERGEANT VOSSWe'll line you up and shoot the luckyones. The rest, like you, we'll gut -

FOURNo. That's not it.

FOUR paces, circling him like a predator.

FOUR (CONT'D)You could have done that from thebeginning - stormed this facilityand executed everyone in it. Youhave the men; the resources. Butyou didn't. You hired us to do yourdirty work instead. Plausibledeniability.

Voss is silent, unwilling to help FOUR put it together.

FOUR (CONT'D)A mining colony wiped out bymercenaries - that would beunfortunate, but not surprising.

(MORE)

(CONTINUED)


37 CONTINUED: 37

FOUR (CONT'D)A mining colony wiped out by aCorporation - well that would bescandalous. And criminal. The wrongkind of criminal.

SERGEANT VOSSWe can make a deal -

FOURYou want the miners gone, withoutbeing directly implicated in theirdeaths. And you wouldn't be here ifyou didn't have a plan to make thathappen.

SERGEANT VOSSYou let me go and I'll guaranteeyour safety. You and whoever yousay walks away from all this.

FOUR steps in front of Voss, stares him down. Beat.

SERGEANT VOSS (CONT'D)I don't know anything.

FOURYou were neither briefed nor givenorders? Just transported down hereto the planet and expected toimprovise?

Voss knows where this is headed -

SERGEANT VOSSI can tell you from experience -torture doesn't work. Under theright circumstances, you could getan innocent man to admit to anything.

FOURBelieve me, I know. Torture is oftenineffective, even counter-productive. On the other hand, I personally findit incredibly cathartic.

A flicker of a smile. Voss winces.



ONE, THREE, and SIX are going over plans of the facilitywith Nassan, looking at options for defensive positions. FOUR walks in, accompanied by Keeley, and informs them -

FOURThey plan to target your reactor,trigger a blast that will level thisentire facility.

Off a shocked Nassan -

39 INT. MINING COMMUNITY - REACTOR ROOM -- DAY 39

Nassan leads ONE, THREE, FOUR and SIX into a wide-open area. There's a loud THRUMMING sound coming from what looks likesome very large industrial equipment. Nassan explains -

NASSANIt's a Mark Four fusion reactor. Standard equipment for miningcolonies...about fifty years ago. Nowadays we can hardly find spareparts to keep it running.

ONEWhich makes it the perfect cover:outdated technology, ill-equippedminers who barely know what they'redoing - an accident waiting to happen.

SIX surveys the area. He turns to FOUR.

SIXWe'll never be able to hold thisposition. Not for long, anyway.

FOURAt least we'll die fighting.

He walks off. On SIX, not taking much comfort in that.

TIME CUT:

40 OMITTED 40


41 INT. MINING COMMUNITY - REACTOR ROOM -- LATER 41

ONE and SIX are instructing miners where to take up position. THREE is running them through Weapons Training 101. ONE,THREE, FOUR, and SIX have all been given radios. ONE stepsaway to key his -

ONEKeeley, how we looking?

KEELEY(OVER RADIO)Clear skies.

ONEOkay. Keep me updated.

ONE lowers his radio, notices SIX waving him over. ONE joinshis fellow crew members, out of earshot of the other miners.

SIXI've been thinking. You're right.

ONE and THREE exchange looks.

THREEWhich one of us?

SIXBoth of you.

(beat)We're doomed.

THREEHang on. As much as I'd love to say"I told you so", I kind of have agood feeling about this set-up.

(CONTINUED)


41 CONTINUED: 41

SIXDoesn't matter how good our defensesare. At the end of the day, theyhave an endless supply of bodies andbullets. We don't. Eventually,they'll wear us down.

Beat.

ONEOkay, and what was I right about?

SIXThere might be a way to win this -but it's a longshot. Like you said,we've got to hit them where it hurtsmost: their bottom line.

ONEWhich is what we're going to do here.

SIXNo. Ferrous Corp doesn't care abouttheir men. They'll just get more. Ships, on the other hand, are a lotharder to come by. And a hell of alot more expensive.

THREEYou saying we take out their ship?

SIXYeah.

ONEI like the idea in theory, but itbegs the question: How do we get itdown here?

SIXWe don't. We go up there after it. Or I do anyway, in the shuttle. I'll target their drive. That shoulddo it - set off a chain of secondaryexplosions that'll rip that shipapart.

ONEAnd you with it.

(CONTINUED)



SIXMaybe not. If I can punch theMarauder's engines and get clear ofthe blast radius -

ONEThis is crazy. They'll shoot youdown before you get anywhere nearthem.

SIXThey can try.

Beat. FOUR shakes his head.

FOURNo. We stand together and dietogether.

ONEWe can't let you do this.

ONE throws a look to a conspicuously silent THREE, waitingfor him to chime in. When he doesn't, ONE elbows him.

THREEWhat? At least let's hear the guyout.

SIXI know you don't like it - believeme, I like it even less - but itmakes sense. We show we're crazyenough to take out their ships,Ferrous Corp will be less inclinedto risk another round here.

(beat)You stop and think about it, youknow I'm right.

Another beat for them to think about it. Then, FOUR stepsforward, offers his hand.

FOURI regret I didn't have the opportunityto get to know you better. Ithink...we could have been goodfriends.

SIX shakes his hand. Next up, THREE. They offer each othera comradely bro hug.

(CONTINUED)



THREEBet you regret not teaching me tofly that shuttle now.

SIXDo I ever.

And, finally, ONE. They shake. SIX cocks his head towardTHREE and FOUR.

SIX (CONT'D)Take care of them. You're the onlyone on that ship with a lick of sense.

He turns, and walks out. Off ONE -

42 INT. MINING COMMUNITY - HOLDING ROOM -- DAY 42

The door opens, and Voss looks up to find Hagen and Tomasstanding there.

HAGENIf we help you, can you guaranteeour safety?

Voss smiles.


SIX walks in and grabs a seat in the pilot's chair. As heis about to engage the engines -

HAGEN (O.S.)Step away from the console.

SIX turns and sees Hagen standing behind him, gun leveled. SIX raises his hands, tries to reason with the miner -

SIXEasy, friend.

HAGENIt's true. You're leaving us hereto die.

SIXNo. I can save us all - but youhave to let me go.

(CONTINUED)


43 CONTINUED: 43

HAGENYou're a liar. You and your friendscan't save us.

And before SIX can respond, two more men step in after him:fellow miner Tomas and a smiling Sergeant Voss.

SERGEANT VOSSOf course not. I'm the only one whocan save you now.

And, off a stunned SIX -

END OF ACT FOUR


ACT FIVE


ONE, THREE, FOUR, Mireille and other armed miners wait. ONEpaces.

MIREILLEYou really think your friend candestroy that ship all on his own?

ONEWe'll know soon enough.

MIREILLEHe was a good man.

ONE holds up.

ONEYeah, he really was.

Suddenly, their radios CRACKLE to life.

KEELEY (OVER RADIO)This is Keeley! Come in!

ONE keys his radio.

ONEWhat's happening out there?

KEELEY (OVER RADIO)Two Ferrous Corp. shuttles justtouched down!

The enormity of the news hits them all hard. THREE sayswhat they're all thinking -

THREEHe didn't make it.

We hear the first O.S. EXCHANGE OF GUNFIRE.

KEELEY (OVER RADIO)We'll hold them back as long as wecan!

ONEKeeley, listen to me.

44 CONTINUED: 44

ONE (CONT'D)If your position is in danger ofbeing overrun, you need to fall backto the reactor room.

Beat. Nothing but O.S. GUNFIRE.

ONE (CONT'D)Keeley?!

ONE takes up position behind the impromptu barricades withthe others. He throws a look over to - THREE who hefts uphis big-ass gun.

THREEIt's Bubba time.

ONEWho's Bubba?

THREE, indicating his gun -

THREETHIS is Bubba.

Off ONE's look -

THREE (CONT'D)What? You don't name your guns?

ONENo.

THREEThis here's Bubba. And this -

Indicating his sidearm -

THREE (CONT'D)Is Lulu.

ONEAnd what do you call the knife youkeep in your boot?

THREE looks at ONE like he's crazy -

THREEI don't have a name for my boot knife. What do you think I am? Psycho?

(CONTINUED)



All stand at the ready, weapons leveled. The O.S. SOUNDS OFGUNFIRE DRAW NEARER. Beat. Beat. Then - retreating minersstumble through the entrance - Nassan and Keeley among them.

ONECover me!

ONE helps the retreating miners take cover just as - theFerrous Corp soldiers enter.

ONE (CONT'D)Now!

They open fire, cutting down the first few soldiers thatcome through the entrance. Others follow, guns blazing.

ON our heroes returning fire: THREE blasting away with hisbig gun. FOUR two-fisting it, desperado-style. ONE using amore modest single-sidearm approach. Mireille uses a rifle,calmly lining up her shots and picking off the enemy.

After three successive pulse blasts (VFX), THREE's gun whinesin protest. He pulls the trigger. Nothing. He checks thedisplay. It reads: "CHARGE DEPLETED". He tosses the biggun aside and opts for his sidearm.

Slowly but surely, however, the miners start getting pickedoff. Nassan goes down. Our heroes return fire, undaunted. Suddenly, the gunfire from the other side DIES DOWN.

SERGEANT VOSS (O.S.)Hey! Hey!!

ONE raises his hand. The guns fall silent. He peeks overhis crate at -

SIX being lead into the room, hands raised, Sergeant Vossright behind him, holding a gun to his head.

SERGEANT VOSS (CONT'D)Stand down! Now! Or I execute yourfriend.

ONE ducks back down and exchanges looks with THREE.

ONEWhat do you think?

THREEI think they're going to kill him nomatter we do.

As much as ONE hates to admit it -

ONEYeah.

OFF a resolute TWO -


ON our heroes huddled down behind their impromptu barricades. Favoring ONE and THREE. ONE holds up his gun.

ONEBlaze of glory?

THREE(sighs)

Why the hell not?

ONE gives them a nod and they jump up at once, screaming -ONE, THREE, FOUR - weapons levelled, ready to fire. Butthey hold up.

REVERSE TO REVEAL SIX, flinching at the sight of them, stillstanding, hands raised. But - there's no one behind him.

ONE, THREE, and FOUR exchange confused looks and lower theirweapons.

SIX glances back over his shoulder. He is shocked.

SIXWhere'd they go?

The equally mystified miners slowly come out hiding, Keeleyamong them. FOUR advances to the door, checks -

FOURThey're gone.

ONEWe did it.

He can't quite believe it. Elated -

(CONTINUED)


51 CONTINUED: 51

ONE (CONT'D)We did it!

He looks over and his smile falters at the sight of - Mireillecradling the dead Nassan in her arms.


A livid Commander Nieman marches in to find TWO waiting him,flanked by two commanders of the Mikkei Combine (TRUFFAULTand SAKEY).

TWOCommander Nieman, allow me tointroduce Commanders Sakey andTruffault of the MCS Sujin andMurakami respectively.

COMMANDER NIEMANHow dare you interject yourselvesinto a private dispute?

COMMANDER TRUFFAULTWell it's a good thing we did, forthe sake of those poor miners.

COMMANDER NIEMANWe were responding to an unprovokedattack -

COMMANDER TRUFFAULTIrrelevant. That planet and itsinhabitants now fall under theprotectorate of the Mikkei Combine,meaning you and your troops are inviolation of galactic charter.

COMMANDER NIEMANThis planet is an independent miningcolony.

TWONot anymore.

He stares at her.

MIREILLEHe was a good leader. I'm not surewhat we're going to do without him.

ONESomeone else will step up.

MIREILLEBut we could use some help.

She throws a hopeful glance his way. ONE knows where thisis going.

MIREILLE (CONT'D)I mean I know it's not glamorous,not like flying around the stars. But there are some things down herethat are not so bad.

He looks at her.

ONEYeah, I can see that.

Mireille blushes, suddenly self conscious.

MIREILLEI meant, it's just nice to have aplace where you know you belong.

ONEI know. Right now for me, I thinkthat place is on that ship.

But the way he says it suggests he doesn't really know why. As she tries to read him - SIX steps in behind them. *

53 VFX - SPACE 53

On The Raza, now sitting alone in planetary orbit.

TWO (O.S.)I knew Ferrous Corp wasn't the onlyplayer in the galaxy so, after wejumped, I had the android plot acourse to the nearest Mikkei outpost.


The crew has gathered: ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, and FIVE.

TWOOnce there, I took the liberty ofmaking a deal on the miners' behalf.

FOURHow much is Mikkei paying?

TWONothing. I gave them a ninety-nineyear lease for free.

Everyone stares at her.

SIXHow the hell does that help theminers? They'll never agree to that.

TWOThey already have. They're signingthe deal as we speak. See, theirmistake was trying to negotiate withone combine. The only way to handlethese bastards is to play them againsteach other.

TWOFor the price of filing some legalpapers, Mikkei gets to screw a majorrival out of a big score. And ifFerrous ever caves and offers themsome kind of revenue sharing deal,the miners get twenty percent. SorryI wasn't able to give you a heads-upbut I didn't want to chance anintercept of any ship-to-surfacecommunications.

THREEAh, we weren't worried. I had afeeling you'd come back for us.

TWO(dubious)

Uh huh.

FIVEOkay. So what's next?

TWOWell, nearest space station is acouple of days out. We head there,refuel, resupply, and then decide. In the meanwhile -

She slaps her hand down on ONE's leg and gives him a friendlysqueeze -

TWO (CONT'D)We can spend some quality time gettingto know each other.

And as she moves off to get herself a drink and ONE watchesher, clearly smitten, the others casually survey one another. This is going to be interesting.
