How did I survive that?
It was some damn fall.
Oh, shit. My comm's busted.
My thermal's busted too.
I should have got snapped in half
and died on the way down,
instead of slowly turning into a meat popsicle.
Timo?
Timo!
Timo, I'm down here.
Ow.
Timo.
Mickey?
T-- Timo!
-Timo, I'm down here. -Mickey. Whoa.
You haven't died yet?
-No. -Hold on.
Oh, shit.
Your flamethrower's still good.
Not a single scratch.
It's a good thing I thought to come down here.
Weapons will be happy to see this.
Hey, I'm gonna turn this in, okay?
I can take it.
You're not mad, right? That I'm just taking this?
I mean, it's not looking very good for you, right?
-Also, line only goes this far. -Uh-huh.
Yeah, no, we-- we're cool.
You shouldn't have to take the risk.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Plus, they're gonna reprint you back out tomorrow anyway.
Yeah.
Hey, Mickey.
Yeah?
What's it feel like to die?
I'm sure you're used to it by now. Still...
How many times is this?
You're Mickey... 16?
17. Jerk.
18 after this one.
Well, it was nice knowing you, have a nice death.
See you tomorrow.
Oh, great.
Why not?
That's a pretty big one.
Hopefully, I'll just get swallowed in one go.
It's got to be better than slowly freezing to death.
I guess.
Or maybe not.
But they just printed me out again
every time I died.
All my data is saved, and I just get a whole new body.
They do all this, kind of, regular uploads of memories
and my personality traits...
...and re-implant it back in my brain.
That's some crazy technology, man.
Let's just say it's-- it's advanced.
It's very advanced.
Come on.
Just hold on a second. Just relax. Breathe.
The whole body training and memory transplanting thing,
to be honest, it was so ridiculously ahead of its time
that it caused so many ethical fights and religious blah, blah, blah.
It was actually banned on Earth,
and they only allowed now in outer space for expandables like me.
So from the second we left the atmosphere,
they made me work my ass off all the way to this planet,
giving me one mission after another.
Uh, Tech? What's going on?
The actual cable's here already.
Um, the thing is, Mickey, pay medical. You want to tell them?
Tell me what?
Hi, Mickey. How are you doing?
Are you experiencing any vertigo, nausea, or dizziness?
I guess I am feeling a little dizzy.
It's only going to get worse from here, Mickey, with a nice fever, too.
Truth is, you're exposed to unthinkable levels of radiation right now,
which is why we sent you out in the first place.
Okay.
If you could give us a full description of your symptoms.
So a couple things I want to go through on our cosmic radiation checklist.
First, how long until your skin starts to burn?
Then, how long until you go blind?
And of course, how long until you die?
That's the real nut we're after.
There was this one time in my fourth grade science class,
I messed with a lab frog.
I just figured this all must be my punishment.
Mickey, take off your glove so I can see what's happening under your spacesuit.
(Grunting)
Oh! Oh! Wow! Did you see that?
(Sighing)
Good morning.
Keep yourself hydrated, Mickey.
It's not to feel extremely crushed.
Our cardiac embed dose was too high.
Who cares, Dorothy? He's going to be dead in ten minutes.
Just focus on getting off the blood samples.
He's going to bleed through his eyes, nose, mouth, ears and rectum.
Make sure to collect separate samples from every home, okay?
Keep the memory upload going at the same time.
This Mickey's special, you know that, right?
But of all the Mickey's, you will have the shortest life spanner.
I heard. Teariness.
Oh. Actually, good news.
It's more like 15. Much better, isn't it?
I would have been filthy rich by now with life insurance,
except I've obviously expendables that are uninsurable.
There's no workers' comp, no unions, no pension benefits.
Now, I wouldn't be surprised if you were thinking at this point,
"Well, now, why did you do this to yourself?"
Well, because I had a friend who told me that one day
macaroons would sell better than burgers.
And because I trusted this shitty friend
and I got an enormous loan from a wonderful gentleman
to help in a macaron store.
Oh, shit.
God!
All right, all right. Calm down.
I'm well aware that you're four weeks left.
Just think of this as a little field trip.
In case of what man falls,
you'd fail to reimburse us in a timely manner.
Besides, you two have a lot of time on your hands
with your little macaron shop gone under.
This is quite a show you got on here for me.
Quite a show. The message is clear. I hear you.
I hear it loud and clear. I'm late. I'm late.
The money is late. It's coming. Two people behind me.
Darius Blank. A name I wish I'd never heard.
Mr. Blank isn't all that concerned with money.
He has plenty. This billy's just one of his many assets.
Watching his delinquent borrowers die,
savoring details of death, that he truly enjoys.
The message is clear. You can stop now. We can stop.
You know, it's... I hear you.
Two weeks is all it takes. All it takes now.
And most people...
Looks expensive.
Best assured, anyone who misses the deadline,
we chase them to the ends of the earth.
So we decided to get off of earth.
Nothing was working out, and I got no family lying on me.
So I applied to the colony expedition,
but there's like a million other people with the same idea.
Seems like the whole of this rotten planet was running away from something.
I guess everybody's got money problems.
But anyway, we had to get on this ship,
because it was the last one of the season.
Waves upon waves of people desperate to leave earth.
It's clear, anti-migrationists are talking to a brick wall
when they insist on fixing up the earth
instead of risking lives by migrating to another planet.
It feels like these passionate applicants are already off in space.
More importantly, this is the expedition
led by former Congressman Kenneth Marshall,
who lost his last two elections.
Is this failed politician now trying to establish a kingdom beyond the stars?
Is it his fanatical supporters who won him a generous sponsorship
from a particular religious organisation and corporation?
So many questions left unanswered.
Let's go and talk to the crowd.
Excuse me, are you a Kenneth Marshall supporter?
I am. I am, big time.
I am a full-on supporter. I basically am the one and only.
Are you from Marshall's official channel?
No way! So Marshall's watching this right now?
Oh, my God.
You need to pick me. I swear, please, pick me.
You need people young and healthy.
Ladies and gentlemen, we have another mild-stand storm today.
Access is now restricted to game three.
Please visit our stand for discounted goggles and masks.
Additional by present on with Marshall Bay, as always.
The other expeditions wouldn't take me, but they're wrong.
I promise I can fix toilets.
I make gingerbreads. You've got to take me in this shot.
( dramatic theme playing )
"Expendable"?
You're planning to be an expendable? Seriously?
You read through the whole application.
Uh, yeah.
( sighs )
I should have read through it.
I didn't have too much of a choice.
I don't have any bona fide certifications.
I don't really have any skills whatsoever.
Then I find out Timo's already called dibs on a position for himself.
As a flitter pilot,
he only just got his learner's permit a couple of weeks before.
No idea what he had to come up with to pull that off,
but you got to give it to him.
Excuse me.
I... I... I'd like some, uh, construction going on.
Sorry, what?
I don't hear like a...
like a chainsaw.
Uh, no.
I wanted to get the hell out of there.
Somewhere where the sound couldn't follow me.
I was far out into space.
You read through the paperwork.
Yes.
You read it, so you know right.
This is gonna be a pretty extreme job,
but it's also gonna be fun.
I'll explain all the details.
I got so distracted by that smell,
uh, the smell of this woman's hair.
It was like it brought back some faraway memory or something.
That giant tank downstairs is called a cycler.
It takes organic waste produced in the spaceship.
Apple peels, chicken bones, rotten eggs,
dead bodies, human waste, you name it.
Then it combines, refines, and recycles them,
and sends a portion to this printer.
Raw materials for a human body.
Once you die and the committee approves,
it'll print a new version of your body within 20 hours.
Take your clothes off. Change into this.
I couldn't even hear anything she was saying.
It was like all my senses were focused on my nose.
Like real deja vu,
but for a smell.
We're going to do a full scan of your bio data.
That means you'll be reprinted exactly as you are right now.
Forever.
I better not this.
Otherwise it'll be there every night.
Well, I'm glad she didn't know about the one on my butt.
So after she does the body scan, she uploaded my memories.
Call it a personality backup.
I got to do this once a week so I don't
have any big gaps every time they print me out.
In the past you would have needed a hard drive the
size of a commercial refrigerator to copy an adult brain.
Now this little brick, clever, right?
So I was injected with some special solution.
It brought back a flood of old memories.
Too many memories.
We were heading home from the supermarket.
I asked to sit in the front seat.
I said I'm big enough.
And that's when I saw the red button.
I pressed it and she crashed.
Put it to your head and pull the trigger.
This is the final requirement to become an expendable.
Prove to me you have faith in this system.
From now on you need to get used to dying.
This is your job.
[crying]
[explosion]
I began the four and a half year journey as Mickey One.
When you're stuck in a spaceship for that long, food is everything.
Warning, Mickey One.
Seven calories over the current ration allocation.
On that first day in the cafeteria, I think I might have started thinking,
what have I done a little?
The whole room is full of people eating this crappy food
and there's total silence.
You could hear a pin drop until Kenneth Marshall
and his wife, Ilfa, walk in.
And a whole bunch of people just started going nuts.
[crowd cheering]
I was thinking, what the hell am I doing here?
But that's when I saw her.
Nasha.
That was the first time I saw Nasha Barrage.
On day one in this long journey.
[crowd cheering]
[piano music]
[crowd cheering]
[piano music] [crowd cheering]
[crowd cheering]
All right, enough, enough.
Keep that up for one minute and you waste five calories.
That's two percent of the precious meal you're eating right now.
As you know, our number one priority is to conserve food resources
until our arrival at Niffelheim.
So that we maximize our survival rate.
So listen up, sexual intercourse, for example,
each session consumes a whopping 100 calories.
At least, depending on the participant's duration
times friction equals up.
The point is Kenneth is talking to the committee
about banning all sexual activity on the show.
[crowd cheering]
[piano music]
[crowd cheering]
[piano music] [crowd cheering]
Darling, are you sure this is the right time to bring that up?
Oh, honey, I'm sorry. I was just trying to help you.
[crowd cheering]
No, it's okay, Alfie.
Am I doing okay?
Should I go harder?
Yes, yes, go harder.
[crowd cheering]
The point is, once we've arrived at Niffelheim,
we've secured our food production.
We will launch the greatest sex encouragement campaign in history.
[crowd cheering]
[piano music]
[crowd cheering]
You will spread your seed across the planet.
[piano music] [crowd cheering]
[crowd cheering]
[crowd cheering] [crowd cheering]
So we started infesting with love.
[crying]
Unfortunately, this is not the right time.
Unfortunately, this is...
[crying]
Come on, it's not happening.
[crying]
Those four years would have felt like 40 if it weren't for Nascha.
She stayed with me in the best of times,
and kept by my side in the worst of times.
[crying]
Not everyone gets lucky enough to find a soulmate like this.
None of this would have happened if I'd never boarded this spaceship.
So I'll hail the great loan shark Darius Blank.
Thanks, Darius.
But it wasn't like I was slack, you know.
I was super busy every day taking care of Nascha,
and she's an all-in-one elite agent.
And it's not easy supporting someone who's a soldier,
a police officer, and a firefighter,
but what she sees in me, I got no idea.
I'm just grateful.
But as soon as I step out the door,
the ship was filled with mostly dickheads.
Hey, Mickey, right?
Come to me, just ask.
What's it like to dodge?
You know, when you're reprinted, now how does that feel?
Oh, come on, just tell us. We really want to know.
Imagine spending years elbow to elbow with these bozos.
It was enough to push anyone over the edge.
Sometimes even if Nascha, who is a model citizen,
would have to step in and remind us that we were all one big happy family.
They're to help one another.
They're to have each other's backs.
A tight-knit, harmonious community.
And the committee has reduced Mickey Nines' rations by half
and assigned him to manual cyclo-cleaning.
Until further notice...
Hey, Mickey.
You must be hungry. Have some more.
Uh, thanks, Kai.
Um...
Can you change your shampoo?
Shampoo?
There's only one shampoo in this entire spaceship. Thank you.
Okay.
It was a very long trip in a beautiful community.
Hi.
But, uh, Nascha was obviously my one and only, you know...
for real.
And as for my one and only job, I was proud of it.
I felt like I was part of the team.
Mati! Mati!
Come on, let's go!
Hurry up!
Oh! Quickly!
My brother travelers...
And sisters.
It is long that we have come four years together in this ship
and that we love you like our Mario family.
And here we are, right below us awakes...
our very own planet of purity.
What's wrong with him? He's flying away!
May we have some blue or something?
Like a virgin vanilla ice cream.
Touched for the very first time.
Well, we really call.
Whoever's gone down there first can freeze to death.
That's it. Make a deep breath.
Fill your lungs.
Imagine there's an unknown virus in the air...
And you're sucking in every single microscopic particle floating around.
All the viruses...
Fill every avioli.
So good.
Brilliant.
There really was an unknown virus in the air...
Uh, lethal one?
(Grunting)
(Grunting) (Screaming) Join me!
Oh, man. He's alive.
So fucking what?
Oh, my.
Thank you.
In the end, thanks to the lab rats Mickey 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16...
Getting stab gas dumped and burned, we got the vaccine.
My great gift to mankind.
And so, we didn't need oxygen masks, and we
could see our breath as much as we wanted.
Look at that, Jennifer. Ridiculous.
I can't believe we're still living that thing.
I know, right?
Plantfall was ages ago, and we're still eating the same crappy, inflight TV dinner.
Precisely why we ought to build residential complexes.
No, grow crops as soon as possible.
Yeah, sure.
No, spread the seed. Invest the land. Propagate the species.
The species.
(Distant howling)
Whoa. Look at that color.
Yeah, it's beautiful.
He's such a close. You should learn some breakfolds.
You okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Come on.
What's breakfall?
Look at the car. Take us for perfect breakfolds.
Yeah.
Shut up.
God, what is it?
(Screaming)
What's that?
Oh, my God!
(Screaming)
Get out! Get out!
(Gunshots)
I don't know if there are more in the hole.
Let's get the fuck out of here.
Come on, Mickey, let's go.
(Screaming)
Go, go, go. Move, move.
(Screaming)
(Gunshots)
(Screaming)
(Gunshots)
(Distant howling)
Mickey.
Mickey, it's Marshall.
You fucking useless little asshole.
You're an expendable.
You're here to be expended, dammit.
I'm sorry.
And why is Jennifer Chilton a precious, fertile,
email-daddy not of you?
I'm coming to my room.
I'm coming. Try this.
You know, that's what I want to know.
The disgusting...
Really? You want my sauce?
No, no, no, no, darling.
Those things, look at them.
What's going on?
They're delicious, aren't they?
Oh, how do you not like it?
You, stand still. Don't move.
They lust for human flesh.
And creepy.
Oh, honey, that's perfect.
You should call them creepers.
I'll call them creepers.
I'm calling them creepers!
President, are you listening?
Expendable, I decided in the committee that going forward,
your rations will be halved.
So my shift doubled.
14 hours every day, seven days a week,
until I brought home a creeper sample.
Deema! Deema!
[GASPING]
[RADIO CHATTER]
[GUNSHOT]
[PANTING]
How did I survive that?
Whoa! You haven't died yet?
What's it feel like to die?
Even on my 17th go-around, I really hate dying.
Still, always.
Every time.
Bon Appetit.
Where am I?
What's going on?
I'm not coming out of the printer.
I'm still 17.
Why didn't that thing eat me?
I was passed out.
And I now look tasty enough.
Oh, got it.
They're saving me for their kiddos.
What a great mom.
Aw, please just make it quick.
Come on, guys. Big bites. Big bites.
Ow!
Where are you taking me now?
Has my meat gone bad after all that reprinting?
Come on.
[GROWLING]
Oh, dear.
Hey!
I'm still good meat.
I'm perfectly good meat.
I taste fine.
[GROWLING]
Ditching me out here in the middle of nowhere.
It's not cool!
[SOBBING]
Hey!
[SINGING]
Whoa, whoa!
Do you even care? Hey, wait!
Stop!
No, stop!
Can't come through. I said stop!
What is it now?
Shit!
Hey, look how big that rock is. Are you wide?
You can't just have the authority to bring something like that in.
You think you can jab something that huge through here?
Science requested it, so don't give me shit about it.
You try to jab it in and scratch anywhere on this date, my date, it's on you.
I mean how? Blame the guys in science.
They cut into this science, but I got specific orders to bring it as is.
I don't fucking care, today.
Through the meeting or whatever, I can't reach them.
I'm not taking the ball for this.
Every time you come in here, my date, gate three, you act like you own the place.
Why not own a whole of this shit away?
You should shut the fuck up, okay?
You know what? He need to get laid.
Fuck you!
Oh, damn, Nicky.
Didn't expect to see you out there today.
Wait. Is that the time?
It's 3.30.
It doesn't make any sense.
Do you remember what I left?
What did you say?
Go, go, go, go, wait, buzzer.
Stop it. You make beams.
Shut it off. The mains.
The switch! Hey!
No, no, no, no, stop!
I'm in the room.
Just lie down.
It's that time again.
The dinner of your dreams with Kenneth Marshall,
who will be this month's lucky guest of honor.
A grand surprise awaits.
Hang onto your shit, because the dove of luck just might come fluttering its wings
with an invitation for you.
From Dove of Atlanta. Over and out.
(door opens)
(screams)
What is this?
Why aren't you dead?
Oh, God. Oh, God. Oh, God.
No, no, no.
Hey, 18? They printed you out today?
What the fuck is going on?
According to T.M., all you should be sliding out
of one of those creepers' assholes right about now.
You have to put it like that.
Oh, God. I'm completely fucked.
What do you mean?
Multiples.
I gotta kill you.
Kill me?
How?
You should probably kill yourself if one of us has to die.
It's been like two hours since I was printed.
I've barely had a life.
All I was never dead. So you don't count.
Go back to the cycler!
Uh, multiples. Where do I even begin?
Mankind is not equipped to deal with the legal and
ethical implications of adopting this human printing technology.
Please tell me, can any of you honestly
guarantee that the technology will not be abused?
No one in their R&D department could come up with a convincing answer.
But the real problem was that one of the brains behind
human printing turned out to be a certified psychopath,
Alan Manikova.
I think it's him.
Are you sure?
There was this series of particularly brutal murders
targeting homeless people and only one eyewitness account.
But it matched Alan Manikova's appearance to a tee.
The cops thought they had their man, except Manikova had a short-flyer alibi.
At the time of the murder, he was getting
his makeup done for a children's science show.
But the cops had his number. When they raided Manikova's
house, they brought two sets of handcuffs and warrants.
They were on to him. Or rather, they were on to them.
Which one's Manikova Prime? You? Or you?
Yep, uh, there were two. One for the murder and one for the alibi.
Manikova had printed another Manikova without the company knowing.
So here's a question for you. Are they
accomplices or did one act under the other's orders?
Are these separate and independent crimes or were they one person from the get-go?
They only get half portions in jail or they get a full meal each.
Police, legal experts, philosophers, everyone was stumped.
But while Manikova one and two were both locked up in an interrogation room,
another homeless man was brutally murdered.
Lo and behold, Manikova three.
I think it was some cheap tabloid reporter who
called them multiples or some professor or something.
Whoever came up with it, it stuck.
And pretty soon the word multiples spread fear and contempt.
So multiples are an abomination. They destroy the natural order.
Each soul shall only have one body, right? One soul, one body.
The Lord, he only blesses this one-to-one union.
But former Congressman Marshall does have a point worth considering it would be a
shame not to explore the potential application of this advanced technology.
I was happy to receive an invitation from this committee.
You were subpoenaed, Mr. Marshall.
Sure, sure. In any case, I want to take this
opportunity to speak as an expedition commander.
Human printing is a sin. Multiples are Satan's work.
However, I've been contemplating how can we use
this abomination for our common economic benefit.
I propose a trial run of human printing
far from Earth under the strictest oversight,
limiting such individuals to one per
expedition, per planet, under the designation expendable.
Multiples, in the case of multiples, we exterminate every offending individual in
totality, mind and body, all for the sake of public service.
On this Nivelheim expedition, all multiples will
immediately be arrested, executed and permanently deleted.
Oh, man. What the hell is this guy?
Nascha told me that Mickey 3 was whiny and clingy. 5 was indecisive, and apparently
8 was pretty annoying and kind of stupid, but none of them were complete nut jobs.
Even this lunatic is scared of being a multiple-doll. That's permanent deletion.
You're trying to trash me in the cycler.
If one of us has to go, it ain't gonna be me.
What happened with you?
We have to rest. We can split the work of it, too. And we can take turns starting.
You're 18, so you can take all your number to
die. I'll just cover 1921 and the hot numbers.
Are you afraid to die?
Kind of, yeah.
You died plenty of times. What are you so scared of?
Till now, I died, and I was just born again.
You know? It felt like it was me continuing on.
But now, once I die, it'll be over for me.
It'll be you living on. You get what I mean?
I don't like you. You're such a little bitch.
But I'm you, huh?
I'm not you. I'm not gonna live like you. I'm gonna kill you.
What the fuck, man? Are you trying to get notice?
They don't even have cameras. Take that off, dumbass.
Amateur? Your first time?
No, no. This is the purest stuff, right? Undelimited?
Who do you think you're talking to?
This is pure un-got oxy. It's fucking rare. You
only get two oxyzofo-capsis and one flamethrower, man.
What is that?
I feel it.
What are you doing? That's not a thing. Open
it. Should we just kill that son of a bitch?
What?
Don't act surprised. Your memories are my memories. Your
money blow. That bastard put most of the loans under our name.
The Darius Blanks ledger, where you're the ones on the lookout.
That needs fat checking.
Have fun, man.
Let's kill him.
Are you crazy? He's like my only friend. Forever. Same warfare as me, shit.
Wait, wait.
Deemo!
Mickey, what?
Looks like business is blowing up, huh?
What are you talking about?
Another jokey coming in.
Deemo!
Hey! Are you mental?
Give me a quick kill and I'll get out of here, but I'll kill you!
What the fuck is this?
Come down lower, you fucking idiot! Okay. Okay. Come on.
Mickey, help me.
What is that? Why is it so red? That looks hot.
What are you doing?
I want you to have a car dying, you son of a bitch.
What?
Come on.
Stop. Stop!
Oh, is that Mickey?
Hey, what's going on?
Mickey, what are you doing here?
Uh, Deemo accidentally fell in, but uh, he's out right now.
I want to keep Deemo, motherfucker. Watch what you say.
What happened? You okay?
What's up with your hand?
I was taking out the trash and I tripped into the hole.
I would have been a goner if not for Mickey. I almost became a psychopath.
Hey. You all right?
Don't you stay in bed. It's only been a few hours since you were printed.
Oh, yeah, I should have died.
You heard the rooming?
Huh?
Some guy out here is stealing undiluted oxyzones.
What? That's crazy. That's pretty messed up.
Between us, Deemo?
Mm-hmm.
I drop here and there before bed to take the edge off. I get it.
But the pure uncut stuff is crossing the line.
Oh, yeah, absolutely. That's...bad.
Nasha, take Mickey home. I'll wrap up here.
Yes. Thank you. I'll see you tomorrow.
Bye.
Well, today I feel like it'd be six.
Be set.
Yeah.
Flying Nasha.
Oh!
Oh, I'm staring at the right place without you.
What's going on?
Mm.
Mickey.
B6.
B6 was our stash.
Mickey?
Hey, brother.
I was just headed to your room to catch you, but here you are.
Looking good, Mickey.
Yes, sir.
Okay.
You stand there. Arm around, please.
Great. Good.
Big smile, Mickey. Would you...
Yeah, big smile.
Hold on. Great.
I'm sorry. Could you just stand there?
Great. Thank you. Okay.
And...action.
Congratulations.
This month's lucky winner, the fortunate soul,
will have the privilege of a private dinner at the camera,
who will have a private dinner with the one and only Kenneth Marshall, is...
Don't have a barrel.
Yeah.
It's Mickey.
Great. Big smile.
Smile.
Yeah.
Amazing. Okay, cut.
Kenneth Marshall wants you to come ASAP, okay?
He's got a whole feast prepared just for you.
The Lord is truly blessing you today, Mickey.
Yes, ma'am.
I need to go back to my room.
You get to stuff your fucking face, Mickey.
I bet that freak is probably drooling all over my beautiful nasha already.
It's disgusting.
What's even more disgusting is that I'm drooling at the thought of the
tenderloin steak I ordered for Marshall's dinner.
This is so wrong.
So glad you seem to be enjoying it.
How's the sauce?
Oh.
Oh, sorry. Sorry. Please continue.
Yeah, yeah. Mickey, listen, going back to everything that happened with...
Jennifer?
Yes, Jennifer.
Jennifer...
Jilted.
I know, I know.
When we lost our dear Jennifer Chilton,
I may have gotten a little angry and said some terribly unkind things.
I know it's late and I want to apologize.
Oh, he's always like this.
Such an adorable man and then somebody's all cutthroat.
[laughter]
Nothing. I'm trying to make it here again.
Sorry. You're still squishy, fresh out of the printer.
Continue feeding yourself.
Oh, anyway, we have another special guest here. Hi, Kai.
Sorry I'm late.
You look very nice.
Thank you.
Come, come.
It's good to see you.
Sit.
You okay? Emotionally?
Yeah, if you're fine, sir. Thank you.
I'm glad to hear it, Kai. I'm so sorry about Jennifer.
I hear you were extremely close, your best friend,
but I knew you'd stay strong through our law.
Thank you, ma'am.
But we didn't invite you here simply to comfort you.
We've had our eyes on you, Kans.
Oh, me, sir.
May I ask why?
You're one of us.
With your impeccable genetics,
you are the perfect specimen for the colony I envision.
Thank you, sir.
That's why the church, I mean, company,
has chosen me to lead this expedition.
There is beyond saving us all, it's muddy people.
But you hear something special,
and I am creating a world on a pure white planet
full of superior people like you and us.
Isn't that right, darling?
Yes. It's his vision.
His senseability.
But let's be honest, with your medical records in hand,
you ran to join our expedition instead of one of those
pathetic planets where they plant microchips
in their artificially inseminated baby embryos.
You really are the perfect candidate
for Niflheim's natural child birthing program, aren't you, dear?
Mr. Marshall, am I just a uterus to you?
No, no, no, no, no, no.
It's nothing like that, Kai.
No, this man is not one to objectify women.
All my husband means to save is he has very high standards.
His only dream is of a planet exclusively for a pure human race.
That consumes real crops and real meat
and dinners with delicate, delicious sauces.
Oh, sauce is the true lit moustache of supply.
The true lit moustache of civilization.
People who devour burnt meat are barbarians.
Do try the sauce, Kai. Here. I made it myself.
Oh, thank you.
But first, I'd like to say a few words in Jennifer's memory.
A prayer.
Always ready for a prayer.
Jennifer, when I first met you at the cafeteria four years ago,
you were...
You were...
Dear Lord,
Jennifer Chilton's one and only soul
was taken from her wonderful friend, Kai.
Dear Lord,
Jennifer Chilton...
Rejoice in the Lord,
our one and only,
Almighty, let us sing
for our Father's grace.
Thank God, Almighty, free at last,
we're going to the promised land,
the sea of white in your life,
your kingdom in front of our eyes.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
Apology, sir. This is embarrassing.
The cultured month that he just gave includes an experimental growth warning.
Obviously, it's still risky. I'm so very sorry, sir.
You're sure it's not because he was eating so much
he was stuffing his friggin' pile?
No, not quite, sir. You see the red rash on his neck.
It's a side effect of the growth hormones.
I'm so ashamed.
I take full responsibility
and resign my position immediately.
No, no, no, not at all.
I mean, artificial meat is crap.
How are we supposed to approve it unless we fail upward to perfection?
No.
Arkady, stand tall on your failures like me, my friend.
Yes, sir. Thank you, sir.
Commander, so you were testing out your in-flight TV dinner on him?
In-flight TV dinner?
Is that what the young troops are calling it now?
Excuse me.
Are you in a lot of pain?
I'm being punished.
What?
It's my punishment.
I should have gone to Mars and not come here.
Dorothy, bring me Purple Joe.
Sir, you remember the special painkiller we've been developing?
Yeah, Purple Joe. It's a quick picture of your agents, right?
Yes, since Mickey hears it's such awful pain,
it's a perfect opportunity to try a little test, so give it to a great alright.
Come on, Purple Joe.
Don't touch him, please.
Mickey, can you see me?
Mickey?
Mickey! Get back down there.
Mickey?
Mickey, that's bad.
Oh, God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, what are you doing?
Apologies, sir. The painkiller's not working.
Don't film this press. Please. Turn it off.
This is better, right? More humane.
Yes, sir. More humane.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. What are you doing?
Huh?
You can't turn a hole in my fucking carpet.
Well, we'll just shoot him from the side.
What about the blood? This is a Persian taper ist.
How do you calm down?
Shoot now.
What the hell is going on?
This was supposed to be a fucking thinner.
He's your guest.
Agent Guy Katz, what the hell's going on with you?
He's a meat matrix. He's a goddamn print job.
Inexpendable.
He signed up for this.
Yes, sir.
This is for our planet, agent.
I'm sorry, sir.
Come on.
Please don't shoot.
Oh, Ken.
I don't think so.
He still seems like he's in a lot of pain.
Of course he is.
Oh, no.
Are you really okay?
Just thank you for dinner.
My room's just there.
You need to clean up and rest, Mickey.
Don't worry about me.
I can walk here.
I just need to get back to my room.
Nice, it's about to...
Actually, we're going to mine.
[water running]
Here. It's dry.
I drink this whenever I have a stomach ache.
It's from Earth.
It's precious.
So I've been saving it.
But I made some for you.
Thanks.
Sit.
You know, Mickey,
I didn't want to ask you this.
But just this once, okay?
And I'm so sorry.
[music]
What's it like...
...dying?
You're asking for the Jennifer.
Yeah.
We lost eyes...
...in the last moment.
What did you feel...
...as all that ice came crashing down on her?
I can't stop thinking about it.
I don't think it's what I usually feel.
I die so often.
Because you know you're going to wake up again, right?
Because you die knowing that.
I know.
I always feel scared.
It's terrible...
...dying.
I hate it.
No matter how many times I go through it,
it's scary.
Still.
Always, every time.
[music]
But you're here.
And Jennifer isn't.
Out there.
The entire universe.
She's nowhere.
[music]
You don't look like you're printed out.
You're just a person.
[music]
Are you in La Chateau?
I have to go.
Lasha, please forgive me.
The guy that you're having is sexual.
It's not me.
You motherfucker.
How do you touch her?
[music]
Seventeen.
I need this to happen, Azzavoyne.
Wait, wait, wait, wait. Stand next to each other.
Wait, I hate this all.
What?
Yeah, I want you to look the same.
Oh my God.
[laughing]
Lasha, how can you laugh right now?
This is a multiples violation.
I'm as good as dead.
Oh, come on.
When else am I going to get this chance?
Think about it.
It would be so psych if there were two of me.
This is mild Mickey.
And this is Habanero Mickey.
This is so exciting.
It's so different.
Lasha, you're different too. You don't seem like yourself.
Oh, Jesus. You just did oxyzofal with him?
Just a teeny tiny bit with a ton of water.
What, two on some?
Yeah, yeah, relax. Just take it easy.
Lasha, this piece of shit just tried to kill me earlier, right here in this room.
Look, I was bleeding.
Like you weren't thinking of trying the same thing.
I saw you sneaking up behind me.
Hey, hey, shut up. Shut up.
Sit down.
Oh, hey, attention.
From now on, I'm going to feed you both as often as I can,
so be good boys and don't fight.
Now, anything tells me you guys have sorted it out already.
E half, work half.
Alternating deaths, even to not.
It's a great system. Negotiating that.
So everyone just chill.
Okay?
[music]
You live a salon for a second.
What? What's the problem?
Look, I'm leaving.
Oh, you're such a baby.
I just gotta need some oxyzophil.
Relax.
[music]
Is that the door?
Um...
Oh, fuck.
[music]
Kai!
Way up. Let's talk.
Talk about what?
I don't care about your private life.
Okay, fine. But what's up?
What's rush? Where you going?
I just witnessed the multiples violation with my own eyes.
I has a need to have a duty to record it.
Okay, fine.
Since when have you been coming to Mickey's room?
This is your first time, right?
What's up with you and Kai, bro?
Why was she here?
What are you supposed to do now?
Straight to Marsha and report us, isn't she?
You need to relax.
Marsha's handling it.
She can convince anybody of anything.
Whew. Oh, my God.
Besides, there's some more on us.
I'm busy with this clown show.
You eyes, you will wander in the dust
and lay them on this beautiful, manly, handsome, honking...
This fucker. Such an attention whore.
With charisma.
And what did that asshole serve for dinner?
Was it good or this?
You really want to know what went down at that dinner?
So, the one with 17 on his chest,
that's the Mickey that was in my room just before?
Mm-hmm.
And the one you were grabbing, he's 18, right?
Yeah.
Okay.
You can have 18 on a take 17.
Well, there's two of them. Why not share?
All right.
So, you get this straight.
He was shitting your pants on the floor,
and he comes up and stabs you in the neck with a syringe.
That's what happened.
Oh, I wasn't like shitting my pants.
I was... I was puking up a little bit.
That's not the point!
I've seen you rubbing up on Mickey every chance you get, you fuckface.
You know, I've always wanted to kick the living shit out of you.
Oh, now, sir, come on. I'm trying to be considerate.
Mickey, 17...
was about to double-dip, if you know what I mean.
Move on from you to me.
In fact, we almost...
Double-dip?
Shut up!
Mickey is not some cookie you can split in half.
17 and 18 are both Mickey.
Both my Mickey.
So then after Marshall fucks you sideways.
You really let him have it, right?
Right!
What did you say?
I was gonna say to...
I said thank you for dinner.
You said what?
Thank you for dinner.
Thank you for fucking what?!
I'm gonna go...
Don't throw it in my head!
Before he blows your brains out!
God, you son of a bitch!
Fucking loser!
I...
I guess I am convolution.
What...
is that?
What you are?
With it!
It's not your fault.
Let's kill that fucker.
This guy with the killing age.
Kill this, kill that.
Why don't we kill everybody?
You can stay here and watch TV if you want.
Wait, wait, are you serious?
You can't negotiate shit with that attitude.
Hey, Jesus. You're not gonna get me. You're not gonna get me. Wait that attitude.
Hey, Jesus.
You're high on oxygen.
Mickey!
You can't come here to stop him.
What?!
Where's he going?!
Why? Why? Why?
Commander Marshall cutting into that big beautiful handsome rock.
(Coughing)
Beautiful.
It's sleek, hot, exquisite.
Exquisite.
This is where our names will be etched.
Mine and yours.
And you!
And you, my beautiful Yoko.
Almost every single one of you will be remembered throughout history
as the proud founders of Nifflheim's first generation.
Of cornerstone, black diamond.
Beautiful of shimmering purity.
This rock will become the symbolic monument of Nifflheim.
The one and only pure colony planet.
The one and only Nifflheim!
The one and only Nifflheim! (Music)
Don't touch us, sir!
Oh, maybe it's contagious!
It's contagious!
You'll catch us die!
(Cheering)
Stay home, back damage!
Stay with me.
Initiate stay home.
And you!
And you have no food.
And I'll cut it.
[Music]
Arrest him. Fucking multimers.
[Music]
Tell the committee you are aiming at the creeper behind Marshall.
Otherwise you could get permanently deleted.
Fuck that shit. You really think Captain Crane Pie is going to let us live?
He's probably going to shoot us himself.
He's a nut job. He doesn't listen to anybody.
He's the biggest dumbest nut job out of all of Mickey's.
And that's saying something. He screwed my entire life up.
Oh really? We all got fucked the minute you
decided not to die and came crawling home to me.
I wasn't my fault. I was a creeper's fault.
Creeper?
Well if that creeper is eating me like they're
supposed to then we won't be in the situation.
But they'll kick me out and not a goddamn multiple.
They kicked you out?
Yeah. You're all pushing me and pulling me
and they all threw me back into the snow.
Maybe I don't look tasty enough or smell off. I don't know.
Maybe I was in some kind of sauce.
Hold on. You're telling me they saved you.
Think about it. You shouldn't have died in that crevice. The creeper saved you.
I guess if you put it like that, it'll sort of sand me off.
Maybe I should have said thank you.
Yeah. I don't think they were going to eat you. Right?
Oh my God. We have to report this to science. They save humans.
Yeah. People need to know this.
They saved me.
Hey. Where's the fucking ladder? You're supposed to bring a fucking ladder.
I don't know.
Here. On the up.
Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. I'll do it myself.
I'm coming down myself. Get the fuck off me.
Come on. Hey, T-Mall. What are you doing here?
Oh, wow. You two and me are multiples, huh? But it's you.
Yeah, I see it in that schmuck face here. You're the one that gave me this. Right?
Oopsie.
Here you go, guys. You guys must be starving.
Thanks, man. I knew you'd be coming for us.
What are you up to? What's all that?
So, um, here's the thing.
I need to shoot a video and send it to Earth ASAP.
Video? T-R-F?
Yeah. Um, it's for, uh, Darius Blank.
Darius Blank? Who's that?
Found this at my door today.
It's written by hand.
It's a beautiful handwriting.
It's from Darius Blank's associate.
Yeah. It is associate.
Fuckin' his associate.
You know what I mean? Like, of course.
Of course the loan shark of all fucking loan
sharks would figure out a way to send one of his guys
to follow us all the way here to Nifflheim, to where we are right now. That's like a million fucking miles from the World L and the Earth.
That's fucking crazy.
A video file that captures the details of death.
Read the back.
It says "chop up into a minimum of 13 pieces."
Chop up?
What the fuck is this?
Hey, what did I say about the close-up?
Close-up is more important, okay?
So take the 32K camera and put it over here for Mr. Darius Blank.
You understand?
I'm sorry, Nicky.
It's all there, right, in the letter.
If I shoot this video and I send it to him, he'll let me live.
If I don't, you're gonna send their guy and he's gonna kill me first.
What am I supposed to do?
Come on, dude. If I die, that's it for me.
But you're expendable to just print you right back out.
Please, Nicky, I'm your friend.
Okay, please do this for your friend one time.
You gotta do this for me, man. I'm your brother.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Oh, shit.
Should've killed this guy when he had the chance.
You gotta just do this for me this one time.
That's all I'm asking. I'm so sorry.
Stop crying, you prick!
Get on my fucking nerves.
Why don't you guys do rock, paper, scissors, okay?
And then we'll just shoot the loose for you.
No?
All right. Shoot him.
Him?
Yeah, him.
I wasn't expecting that. I thought you'd choose him.
Yeah, you'd think so, but the soft one's easier. Come on.
[door opens]
You're a dumb fucking bitch, T-mo.
If you do this and once the space lets you
live, you think that'll be the end of it?
You don't think I'll tell you two fucking pieces myself?
Oh, my God. What is the big deal?
Just take me instead.
[chuckles]
What?
He's chopping me up, not him.
Look at him.
He shot him one time with a tager.
It's like he just boofed a fucking electric heel, man.
But you can chop my whole body up into ten Mickey Chunks,
and I'll still be first to the-- first to Shimi.
Head held high.
Darius will love that.
I just need a little of your help.
My help?
Um, can't anymore of that, uh,
Toxie's hopeful.
[laughs]
Yeah, I got some Toxie.
But undiluted.
[laughs]
You want-- you want undiluted Toxie right now.
Yeah.
Just think of it as the--
think of it as the final cigarette before execution.
So at least you could do for a friend.
Give him yours.
What? Come on.
No.
I'll give you a freebie next time. You know me.
This was expensive.
[grunts]
[crash]
[grunts] [crash]
The keys!
[crash]
[grunts]
[crash]
[grunts] [crash]
[crash]
Nasha!
It's all--
Do it!
[crash]
Nasha! What are you doing?
What's going on here?
Nasha.
Stay for me.
[sigh]
That did kind of shock me a bit.
I mean, she literally was going to cut his head off with a chainsaw.
But then I thought about it and I was so touched.
She's the only person who'd ever lose it like that over me.
And it wasn't the first time either.
Hello?
Should we help you?
Shh.
Take it off. I need to go in there. I need to go in there.
Why don't you take it off?
I am going in there. You've left him in there alone.
That's his job.
I don't care!
It's his job.
Okay, look. I'm going to call security guy.
I don't know what--
I am security!
Get me the suit!
Please, please, please.
I'm going to be behind people in the old riot.
Oh, come on.
[crying]
[music]
Okay.
[music]
Nasha, she's the only one who's always been there for me.
She's always loved me.
Every me.
Even him.
The me I don't understand at all.
What is this?
Oh, you don't know about this.
They've been circling the whole night and still more coming in.
What are they doing?
We don't know.
They can break through solid ice and stone.
Imagine if they all come from this ship.
Terrifying.
But he couldn't even tear through the sock at the cafeteria.
[screeching]
You hear that?
It's coming from the one we captured yesterday.
Just keep going, keep going.
Wait, wait. You mean the baby?
Well, yeah. It's been screaming and crying like one.
And that's when they all started gathering.
[music]
Hey, I can't stop it.
That was the one that I keep holding my eyes to.
Never mind.
Hi. How you doing?
Excuse me.
Come on.
Sorry, passing through.
Hey, why didn't they set up the situation room there?
Beats me. I was just told to bring the prisoner.
Apparently, Otha made a big scene. She wants the creeper now.
Darcy, I have crucial information about the creepers.
Mickey needs to find an official court with the head of science.
Oh, wait.
[creeper creaking]
Yes, I knew it.
Yesterday, at the cafeteria, when you held on to the baby, I saw it.
You saw that?
I don't know what it means to me.
Oh, so you're disemitating.
Well, originally--
Don't think. I'm coming.
It's really hectic right now. Let's talk later.
We're recording the sounds to see if we can analyze any kind of pattern.
The committee is declaring a level three emergency.
Soul Command and Control has been granted
to Commander Marshall by a vote of 36 to 21.
[gunshot]
[squeaking]
Thank you.
What an event.
This is a truly novel ingredient.
[squeaking]
This opens up a whole new world of potential sauces.
Oh, it's such a great, um--
How should I put it? Uh--
Opportunity, ma'am.
Yes, quite the opportunity, just super--
Yes, it is a super opportunity.
[squeaking]
Oh, wow.
It's such a godsend, too.
It is free from harmful pathogens, correct?
Yes, ma'am. Sure.
[squeaking]
[squeaking] [squeaking] [squeaking]
[squeaking]
Which decade is it, Mickey 18?
Jim's head still!
[squeaking] [squeaking]
[squeaking]
Now I can tell you two apart.
Filthy multiples.
Oh, yeah. That does seem fair.
Oh, goodness. Bright meat.
That's nothing, honey.
Wait till these two are scorched sausages in the cyclone.
How are you gonna handle that stench?
[squeaking]
Mickey.
I'm so sorry.
You two.
This brick stores your memories, right?
Now you'll watch as I permanently delete your being from it.
That way you'll understand the meaning and terror of finality.
No more reprints!
That's what you both should be thinking when you die.
Dead forever?
Now that the memory is gone, which body goes first?
One of the times, twice the fun.
Creepy.
Commander Marshall, Sam.
I say a few words.
Regardless of who burns first, the simple fact is,
we currently have two Micky's here before us.
Just to no fault in their part, I might add,
one of them is being falsely accused of firing his gun at you.
But the truth is,
he was concerned for your safety.
He was the first to notice the second creeper coming out of the stone behind you,
and as you were well aware, the day an expendable is printed--
Enough!
You, defending these idiots, should be mopping up your own shit.
Illegal possession of oxyzophil, concealment of a multiples violation.
It's disappointing.
An attempted murder with a fucking chainsaw?
I mean, it's quite the colorful rap sheet, don't you think, Miss Barrage?
Mmm, the clouds of war are billowing.
Look at those Burmans swum.
Mankind must unite at this critical juncture.
Why are we wasting our time with these drugs of society?
Spoken like a true wartime commander, sir.
Very impressive.
And a fine entry to add to your collection of battle quotes, if I may.
You like that? I do.
More of that? Please.
You keep mentioning that we're in a state of war.
May I be so bold as to offer two observations, sir?
I'd be my guest.
Firstly, fighting a war requires a huge amount of energy and calories.
Seeing as we're in the early stages of
settlement and our survival is in the balance,
I wonder whether this expenditure is prudent.
Secondly, our apparent enemies are the creepers,
but do we know whether they actually want to engage in war?
For hours, they've been swirling in circles, doing nothing but waiting.
My God, Agent Barrage.
You used to be a five-time Marshal Cup champion,
agent of the month.
And now, now you're sweating over these alien insects?
How far you've fallen?
( chuckles )
What are you gonna do when they tear a hole in their ship and tear off your ass?
These grotesque shit-givin'--
Grotesque or not, they are the native inhabitants of this planet.
And we have proof that they saved one of us.
They didn't eat him or attack him.
Saved and not eaten who?
Uh...me.
They...they saved me.
( laughs )
Of course they didn't eat you! You're crap, Pooh!
You're recycled spam, baby!
You get chewed up and shit out over and over and over again!
Well, I guess they aren't just stupid bugs, honey.
I mean, they knew to pass on crap, junk.
They must have some cognitive ability.
Exactly.
Actually, they exhibit signs of high intelligence.
They may be able to engage in meaningful conversation.
And we're analyzing this, and...
Sir, you must try communicating with them yourself.
We're developing a sort of translator.
Like that? You mean...you think I'm an idiot?
Oh...
( growls )
( giggles )
( laughs )
( screams )
Four and a half years across the fucking galaxy!
Just to hear these goddamn alien squawks!
Tell me how the fuck that makes any sense! Somebody!
How does this make any sense?
How does your bullshit make any sense?
You know, your fucking fuckface is what really doesn't make any fucking sense!
You fucking idiot!
You call them aliens!
We're the aliens, dumbass! They would have been here before us!
And Mickey!
Mickey was always just Mickey Barnes!
Do you even understand what that means?
They were just living their lives before you came in with your bullshit!
And you think you get to decide who lives and who dies?
You are a dumb fuck!
No wonder you blew the elections, you fucking moron.
( whirring )
No! No, no, no! No, stop!
What the fuck is wrong with you? You're haunting a baby!
( screams )
Wait.
What?
Falling in three, two, one.
Finally, she shut the fuck up.
This is clearly abuse, one kiss after the other.
Rolling.
Into 32K.
I'm sure you get everything.
No, impressive teeth.
We need more of our guys.
Sir, now might be the prime time to initiate total extermination.
The ones out there alone would be more than enough.
What are you talking about?
We're gonna gas them, we're gonna gas them all.
( coughing )
Look, what's that look for?
Still not a cop, that and your failure?
No, no, sir, our COTI 3.0 has gone through several meticulous stages.
Our COTI 3.0 is the ultimate nerve gas.
I have every confidence in it, sir.
As you should, Arkati, this has to succeed.
I'll put it in my prayers.
This is the day we've been waiting for, sir.
Future historians will mark today as error-defining
for cleansing dangerous species on colony planets.
Why don't you board the flitter yourself later?
You mean when we spray the gas? Yeah.
I pulled the trigger? Exactly, sir.
If you write the lead flitter and appear to commandeer the operation,
the footage I get, it will be historic.
And the members, the church members back on Earth, they will adore it.
Yes, yes, the company.
All right, it's time we initiate operation total extermination.
Honey, can I have a word with you?
Yes, ma'am.
I've got an idea.
I hope you both can appreciate what a great honor
my wife is bestowing on your shit stains.
And so I could press both buttons simultaneously.
Yes, sir, press them, and they'll go off at the same time.
They'll also explode automatically if they exit the range of their remote control.
You hear that? I have you by the balls. Don't even think of running off.
You'll each be given a primitive weapon as you head out.
You cut off as many creeper tails as you can,
and the first make you to bring back 100 tails is the winner.
And the winner doesn't die.
But the loser goes...
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A world keeps going from here.
Your job is to make them scream so loudly
that every last creeper comes running in to save them.
We'll kill two birds with one stone, right, honey?
Oh, absolutely. 100 tails is enough to make enough sauce to last a couple years.
Better be on your toes.
One false move and you're man-burger.
I get it. It's all punishment.)
What was that?
My entire life's a goddamn punishment.
Off pressing that button when I was five.
Oh, this again.
Accident was caused by a car defect. You know that?
I don't know.
Well, it wasn't pressing that stupid button.
It wasn't mom's driving either.
Only times I gotta tell you.
I'm sorry, Mickey.
Mickey, you need to move like now.
Can you at least put the ramp down?
We can't do that right now. I'm sorry.
You're gonna have to jump.
Mickey!
Wait! Mickey!
Take this.
It's not finished, but it might help you communicate with the creepers.
Let's go. It's like a translator thing?
Yes. Good luck.
For what it's worth, I doubt Marshall will kill both of you.
Come on.
Well, I...
Anyway, this device, I got a job to do.
All right. They saved me. Now I save them.
What are those fuckers doing?
Even I can count dozens of fresh tales they're leaving behind.
Are they out of their minds?
Oh, honey.
Should I just press the button?
Whoa.
Let's sit back and walk.
They'll start chopping tails as soon as they
realize one of them has to outlive the other.
Hey!
It's me! Wait!
You gotta run away!
You gotta get them all out of here!
You gotta go back to your case!
Oh, back to your case!
All right.
You're all gonna die.
What?
Oh, hello.
Um...
Yes, I just... I wanted...
About last time I...
I wanted to say...
Thank you.
Um...
Do you remember me right?
Me, Kim.
I didn't know my name.
Secret.
Wait, are they having a conversation?
Yes.
We already explained it just now.
How is this possible?
Oh, well, it's still a prototype, but it's like a translator device.
Dor... Dorothy?
Oh, no, where's Dorothy?
I can't hear a thing with all the static.
I mean, even the video! Shit!
Apology, sir. The snowstorm is exacerbating the absorption...
What about this? Will this detonator work?
Yes, sir. That is a special shortwave signal, so it'll be fine.
And who's that big one there?
Is that the Queen Bee and the Bunch?
It looks like a croissant dipped in shit.
Uh, official reports are still being finalized,
but we think everything revolves around that one, the Mama Creeper.
So that one's the boss, like you?
Say what?
You gotta get out of here, or they're gonna kill you all with this death gas.
That gas on Arkati 3.0, I got blasted with that.
It's seriously insanely painful.
Do you know what gas is? Gas?
I...
I gas...
Mind your own business, stupid.
Mind my own business? What about you?
Why'd you save him at the cave?
Should kill him?
No. No.
We're very grateful, that's all.
Then why?
Why kill Luca?
Uh... Luca?
Baby Luca?
Oh.
You grope.
Shattered.
Blood.
Yeah, uh... Oh, that's uh...
That's Luca.
We save you.
You kill Luca.
So what's the name of the other baby? The one on the ship?
Zoko.
Kill Zoko, too?
What if Zoko dies? What will you do?
Death.
All.
You mean all humans.
That's Dingser.
How?
Easy.
Cover your ear.
But I will explode.
Brain explode.
All of you.
Stasha!
Oh, look out!
What's wrong with him?
And they're saying something.
What is that idiot saying?
It's not sign language.
C... 3?
3?
C3?
Not C3.
7, severe.
Bring her in.
Bring the baby.
Bring the roomy!
We don't bring Entei.
You're all here early.
Honey, this doesn't sit well with me.
Why are those two losers chatting to the boss of the Bugs?
They think they're negotiating on behalf of mankind.
You should be standing out there, sir, ushering in this historic moment.
Two bosses meeting face to face in climactic snowstorm,
the moment of destiny.
All you have to do is go out there.
I know I can create an iconic scene,
a decisive moment in the history of the Niflheim settlement.
[ Giggles ]
Oh, I can picture it now,
adorning the ceiling and the walls of the Grand Champion.
Yes, ma'am. Yes.
One final touch, sir.
I think it would be great if you give them a message
before spraying the gas.
A message?
Without such poignancy,
today will be a third-rate carnival
where we spray cheap pesticide over cockroaches.
Yes, they are disgusting, filthy, evil insects.
Right? It will be their last moment.
And you could offer them a few merciful words
as a proper farewell,
like a wise benevolent priest.
Get me a camera crew, tell the first squad,
and meet me fully armed. Yes, sir.
My love, the situation, and yours.
Shall we meet again?
C-3, not sure you want to move.
I don't think.
I'm gonna get so close at C.
I mean it!
[ Growling ]
Not enough.
[ Growling ]
But what else?
[ Growling ]
We lose Luca.
[ Growling ]
One.
And he's fair.
He's fair?
And we have to contribute to death?
Yes.
There.
One of yours.
Die.
So if we bring back Delco State,
and a human dies...
Peace.
Can you hear me?
Camera crew, in a train, you can't be...
Okay, the radio signal's a little passive right now,
so the close speaker will be on your airplane to come.
You need two, dude. You told me.
I will have to take you to school with everyone.
I'll do this!
I'll do the dance!
Do not!
I'll take you to the plane!
I'm down.
I'm not here to film you.
Really great.
Okay, right after your speech, sir,
we'll close the canopy at once,
and that'll be the signal for the air squad.
Spray that gas.
Glorious annihilation, sir.
You. Yes, you. Come here.
What's your name, Matthew?
Oh, Matthew, you have the face of an angel.
Here, try my sides.
Here you go.
Tell me what you think.
[Grunting]
She's primed for spinal fracture!
I'm going to rip this vicious...
No, no, no, no. Take it easy.
Take it easy.
One snap and it's instant death.
[Grunting]
Nasha Barrage, what do you want?
[Grunting]
The baby.
We have to take it to the moment.
That's all? Yes.
Guarantee us a safe exit.
Yes, you want to see me break her neck.
No, Nasha, please don't.
Look, we secure Nasha's exit as negotiated.
Nasha, can you release her carefully?
[Door opens]
Let me get the baby. Be careful.
Nasha, are you okay? I need to hurry.
Can I get a flitter? I doubt it.
You'll have to run.
[Door opens]
Arrest that fucking bitch!
Today, you and the commander have displayed
an impressive range of verbal and physical abuse
and acts of cruelty that far exceeds your granted authority.
You want to be executed from near me?
All video evidence of abuse
will be presented to the committee for review.
I suggest you have answers prepared for your hearing.
Thanks, Eek.
Maintain control on site.
[Growling]
When we're at a high speed among the creepers, sir,
we'll start slowly circling the creature.
Not only the cue to begin your final speech,
the other camera will track alongside you from the outside,
making the scene absolutely spectacular, sir.
I'll keep my speech short and tight.
A marvelous address with Tony added.
And then I'll blow off the mickey who boot-kipping at.
You can do this, Nasha.
We'll get things under control inside.
Okay, okay.
See ya. Good luck!
[Panting]
[Growling]
Nasha's gonna pay this all out.
It's all over, backseat.
Who is that?
[Growling]
Who's coming?
Oh, shit.
[Growling]
[Growling] [Screeching]
[Growling] [Growling]
Wait.
But it's bullshit.
[Growling] Which one's your mama?
What the fuck am I supposed to be looking at?
When I make my speech!
[Growling]
I was gonna send a bomb or something, ye!
[Growling]
Now I'm what they're asking for!
[Growling]
Is that the secret ready?
Yes, sir. Load it now.
We're gonna blast that mama face into a flamian.
It needs a fucking speech.
I'll go hard.
That's the mama there, sir! Can you see it?
That's a different show!
Yes, it's our end!
It's not our death!
Sorry, sir.
[Growling]
Richard!
[Screaming]
That's her! That's her!
[Growling] [Growling]
Come and say goodbye.
What happened?
[Growling] Blast into the nearest pile!
Turn to the wall, so we get to the mama!
Smash them!
Camera! Make sure to get the bloody guns!
Wait!
That one there!
Choose that one fast and bigger!
Fire! Fire now!
Yes, sir!
[Growling]
Go, sir, the mama!
Hack-a-jack! You fucking idiot!
No! No, sir!
[Gunshot]
[Growling]
Don't worry. Oh, my God.
[Growling]
Nasha!
[Growling]
I knew you would make it.
Is it maybe okay?
[Growling]
What's happening?
[Growling]
We have Zogo!
Master, fuck, fuck!
[Growling]
Oh, Nasha.
Zogo's okay, right?
Hey!
Are you serious?
[Growling]
Why do you make it?
[Grunting]
[Growling]
[Growling] [Grunting]
You're also a friend.
We're both a friend.
Yeah, I'm afraid.
I need you human.
You're important.
Come to me, my boy.
[Growling]
[Gunshot]
[Growling]
[Door closes]
[Sobbing]
[Door closes]
[Breathing heavily]
Okay, guys.
Guys, don't be shy.
If you sit down, take your feet.
The groundbreaking ceremony will come later,
but we'll start with the expendable stuff.
Mickey, Mickey, come up to the front, mate.
Could someone please sit on the front row,
you fucking introvert?
Hello, everyone.
I'm Nasha Barridge, member of the committee.
[Applause]
After weeks of debate, we have finally come
to this momentous day,
the day we abolish the expendables program.
I would like to thank my fellow committee members
for their support.
I've been really feeling them, love,
and especially for fighting right to the end
and persuading the committee
to permanently abolish human printing.
I would like to thank our very own Mickey Barnes.
[Applause]
And to be fair, I'm just so fucking happy
I get to grow old with Mickey
and with me stuck and getting old by my summer.
Okay?
Despite the hours of people's discussions
at Tripp Place, the committee of the...
So you hit the button.
Wait.
Nasha will give the signal.
You hit the button.
Wait. And over there.
Do I get up and press it or...
No. In my secret.
I honestly couldn't give the fuck.
Henceforth, on Nipplheim, as on Earth,
human printing is now permanently abolished.
[Applause] Here today, the human printer will be burned to ashes
and erased from memory.
Nasha's such a natural.
I think she could even run for committee chair next election.
It blows my mind still to think that this amazing woman
just six months ago was riding with the rest of us
in that shitty prison.
The day Marshall got blown to dust,
Ilfo went into shock and was taken to the psych ward.
Rumors went around that she slit her wrists there.
Everyone else involved was shoved into jail,
and somehow Lucky Timo squeezes out on parole.
But as soon as he got out, he spent every day
dreading the moment he'd come face to face
with the man who delivered the letter.
The Associate of Darius Blank.
One day, finally jumped him.
It was a fight to the death.
In the end, the Associate became a...
Cyclosoup.
Except for one ear.
Even at the trial, Timo chooses to represent himself.
As he had his grip on me,
he brought his knife around to my midsection right here.
And he sliced.
And he got released.
On self-defense.
Classic Timo.
But our trials, on the other hand, were never ending.
Became a whole political fight between all the pro-Marshals
and the anti-Marshals.
But by then, Nasher had made up her mind.
She'd overhauled the committee and changed herself.
So after she got out, she really did run in the election.
And she won in a landslide.
On her first day in the Assembly,
Nasher was so cool about the whole thing.
I was very, very nervous.
I don't think she really noticed, though.
Nicky, I got the upgraded translator.
It just came out.
Okay, let's be fair.
Can I ask you a question?
Go.
What you said before about extinction and all that,
when you're all like...
(imitates screeching)
And like screeching and everything?
Mm...
Would that really make our brains explode?
From like the pitch?
(imitates growling)
Explode.
But you said that our eyeballs would explode.
Why not our ear trumps?
Because it's like sound.
(imitates growling)
All explode.
Really.
Can you try it right here? Right now?
(imitates screeching)
(imitates growling)
Who said bluffing was only for humans?
Gotta love that poker face.
Yeah, and a nice burp, too.
(door opens)
Uh, hello.
What are you doing here?
In the middle of the night.
Well, I just...
I thought you were in the hospital all the time.
Hey, watch it. Look down.
Don't step on it.
It's a priceless delicacy, dad.
Go on. Take a dab. Have a taste.
Oh, what? Now you're too good for sauce off the floor?
You think anyone else would allow scum like you to taste something so refined?
What is...
What is it made of?
Rude! Not how it works.
A taste of faith comes first.
Then I tell you what's in it.
Mickey, you don't think I'm letting you taste this
and throw some high regard for your palate, do you?
It's the opposite.
A true masterpiece would be a sauce that
could appeal to even an ignorant cretin like you.
Whatever. Fuck it. Taste it. Waste it. I don't care. You're worthless now.
Much better to bring back my usual taster.
The supreme one with an actually refined palate.
Wait. That's...
Even his kidneys are more handsome than you.
Not his head can't be.
Of course it can. Admit it, it's what you want.
It's what everyone wants.
Hey, Alpha.
I just remembered.
You died the day after Marshall.
[EERIE MUSIC]
Go ahead.
Touch me.
See if I'm close.
Or human.
Ever since I was a kid, I've had scary dreams.
This time I wasn't scared.
I just thought to myself, what would 18 do?
Fuck off.
What are you doing? Press the button.
Mickey, press it.
Do it.
I am glad the printer's gone, but a part of me can't help feeling guilty that I
didn't let all the other Mickeys have a chance at life.
I have to stop feeling guilty.
It's okay for me to be happy.
