SERIES TWO - Voice from the Past (B10)

[Asteroid. Nagu gestures for Blake to come in. Five or six people are sitting on couches, including Shivan, wrapped in a complete body bandage]
SHIVAN: Ahhhhh. [Shivan is helped up from his chair]
SHIVAN: Is he come?

[Asteroid. Ven Glynd enters]
GLYND: Let me see him. Welcome at last.
SHIVAN: Blake -- is it Blake?
GLYND: It is he.
SHIVAN: [Staggers to lean on Blake] Brother.

[Asteroid. Camera focuses on magenta circle on a chain around Shivan's neck]
BLAKE: That's emblem of liberty.
SHIVAN: Our cause.
BLAKE: Yours? I thought the cause of liberty...
NAGU: He must conserve his strength. [Helps Shivan to couch]
NAGU: The mind, still sharp, but the physic, as you see.
BLAKE: Who are you?
NAGU: He is Shivan, defender of truth.
BLAKE: Shivan? We'd thought he'd been killed in a Federation trap.
NAGU: A vile betrayal, and all but fatal. I managed to get him to the therapists in Outer Gaul. He lives now only to see the fulfillment of his cause.
SHIVAN: To strive -- as brothers
GLYND: It's two years since we met. Ven Glynd.
BLAKE: In a Federation court as I remember.
NAGU: The Arbiter General has defected.
BLAKE: What?
GLYND: In the name of justice.
BLAKE: Yours or the Federations?
GLYND: Humanity's. Oh, you're quite right to doubt me. A participant in that mockery of a trial. But I had to bide my time. And now, with your coming, the time is right.

[Flight Deck]
ZEN: Intercepting Outer Gaul transporter. Slowing to maintain relative vectors for teleport.
BLAKE: At last. Vila, assemble the others for teleport.
VILA: Just rush over? All of us?
GLYND: Such humility, Blake. I see I shall have to tutor you in protocol.
BLAKE: But the Governor...
GLYND: ...will wish to express her homage. Oh, by all means, send your deputy to escort Her Excellency here. But as for going yourself -- no. [Shakes head]
BLAKE: Very well. You do the honors, Deputy Leader Vila. I'll teleport you myself. [Exits]
VILA: "Deputy Leader"? I like it. [Exits]
SHIVAN: Protocol for your puppet, eh? [Holds Glynd's case on his lap]
GLYND: Careful with that.
SHIVAN: Your precious box of tricks.
GLYND: Precious to us all.
SHIVAN: But most of all, Glynd, with this. [Takes out the control box]
GLYND: Leave that, Shivan!
SHIVAN: For you alone, you're the real master.
GLYND: Be careful.
SHIVAN: The eminence grise. You imagine I haven't smelt you out?
GLYND: Sharp of you.
SHIVAN: You think I am so damn enfeebled as to forget the rules of the game? Enthrone your puppet Blake to posture and proclaim whilst you enjoy the real fruits of power.
GLYND: [Snatches case] Governor Le Grand must be greeted.
SHIVAN: You still need me, brother.
GLYND: Did I deny it -- "brother"?

[Flight Deck] AVON: Trying electromagnetic pulses. [Metallic sounds] No. I could try frequency intervention, but.... [To Nagu] What do you want?
NAGU: [Staggering] My, my lady Le Grand.
CALLY: What's wrong?
NAGU: My lady.... [Falls of floor. He has been stabbed in the back] [Shivan is behind him, aiming a weapon. He pulls the bandages off his face to reveal himself]
AVON: Travis.
TRAVIS: One move, just one move.
AVON: So much for Blake's new epoch of peace.

[Flight Deck]
TRAVIS: Oh, yes, of course. Le Grand and Glynd are traitors. Their futile subversion was monitored from the start by Servalan. It was her idea to send the incapacitated rebel Shivan as a fugitive to Outer Gaul.
CALLY: So you and the Supreme Commander are working together again.
TRAVIS: Let's just say our objectives coincide.
AVON: I wonder if the rest of Space Command realize that.
TRAVIS: To the teleport. [Gestures with his bionic hand]

[Teleport Area]
JENNA: [V.O.] Teleport, emergency. I repeat, teleport, emergency.
AVON: No teleport, Jenna. Not possible.
TRAVIS: Don't touch those coordinates. Activate it now.

[Teleport Area]
TRAVIS: Put me down there. DO IT. [Cally teleports Travis]
AVON: Get Blake up!

[Atlay]
TRAVIS: Drop your weapons.
VILA: Travis. [Camera cuts to a surprised Glynd]
AVON: Come on, Cally, get them up.
