[NARRATOR] Previously on Dark Matter.
[THREE] Who are you?
[BOTH] I don't know.
Who are you?
I got no idea.
[ONE] We all woke up just like you no idea who we are
or how we got here.
[THE ANDROID] We're on course for a nearby inhabited world.
[Mireille] Well you're welcome to resupply
and help yourself to whatever you need then you best be off.
You wanna be long gone before the Raza get here.
Obviously we were meant to help these people.
The Raza is the name of this ship.
We're not here to help these people.
We're here to kill them.
No.
That's impossible.
That can't be right.
A fragment of the ship's logs related to the crew list.
There's no reason to doubt its veracity.
[TWO] Of course not.
In fact, it all makes perfect sense now.
The Raza...
A race of bloodthirsty aliens... Monsters, come to wipe them out.
[SIX] But truth is we're nothing but a bunch of low-life mercenaries.
[THREE] No, we're better than that.
We're also pirates and smugglers and thieves,
it's a very diversified portfolio.
You think this is funny?
It's my defense mechanism: Humor.
That and, apparently, killing people.
I think we need to talk about our next move.
Oh listen I don't wanna be the one to say it,
but if all this stuff is true, we came here to do a job.
You want to go down to the planet and kill those people?
[THREE] I didn't say I wanted to kill anyone.
I'm just talking about the people who hired us.
Ferrous Corp.oration.
Galactic combine.
Exactly.
Not the sort of folks you wanna disappoint, I'm guessing.
Too bad.
I'm no murderer.
[THREE] It's funny cause the screen says otherwise.
Yeah, I don't care what it says.
So have you managed to uncover anything else?
Unfortunately, the rest of the data was corrupted.
Well, I suppose that's plenty.
Hell of a lot more than I wanted to know anyways.
[FOUR] We all wanted to know.
These are the memories we left behind,
death, despair, chaos.
So what?
If they're no longer a part of us now
then what does it even matter?
Yeah.
Should I continue my attempts at data recovery?
Portia?
Don't... don't call me that.
No computer file is going to tell me who I am.
Call me Two.
Okay Two.
♪ Music playing
[DAS/FIVE gasps]
I didn't mean to startle you.
You didn't startle me.
You scared the crap out of me sneaking up like that.
My stealth subroutines are very efficient.
Well dial them back...
Or say something next time you walk into a room.
[ANDROID] Are you afraid of them now?
They show a history of violence, mental instability,
extreme anti-social behavior, deceit...
What's important is who they are now.
An admirable attitude.
Also, potentially a very foolish and dangerous one.
Hey, you're the one who tried to kill us.
The result of a programmed directive
that has since been deleted.
Same with them maybe, right?
If it's not fear, then why are you upset?
What makes you think I'm upset?
I can see a muscular tension in your jaw and shoulders.
In both respiratory rate and heart rate.
I can smell a distinct shift in pheromone production...
Okay, okay. I get it.
Look, if you want to know...
it's because I'm the only one who's not in the files.
I'm not one of the crew.
So... how did I get on board this ship?
At least they know they belong here.
I'm still just a big question mark.
[DAS/FIVE sighs]
There may come a time when you'll consider yourself lucky
not to be counted as a member of this crew.
Well right now, I just wish I was part of the team.
Oh, and one more thing, maybe don't go around telling people
you can smell their pheromones.
It's not gonna win you any friends.
But I can smell them.
[SIX] Weapons array, sensors,
navigation and critical controls.
Flip these, punch that, hit these two
and you bring the engines online.
[THREE] How do you know how to fly this thing?
I don't know, I just do.
Huh.
Maybe you do too.
You gotta try it.
[straining] Yep... wait a minute... that's it.
[air decompressing] [alarm sounding]
Oh... no, no, no. Maybe not.
[sighs in frustration]
This whole thing's got me thinking, that's all.
Yeah, tell me about it.
Which one of us do you think's got the baddest rep?
Yeah I mean, just based on what we know about each other,
which is not a lot to go on I know,
how would you rank us in order of Most Wanted,
from like "super bad-ass" all the way on down
to "cause for concern."
For instance, I'd put me in first spot,
you'd slide right there in seco.
Boss Lady well she'd be third on account of her ba'ttitude
and then ol' Slashy Stabberson.
Pretty Boy and the kid tied for last place
cause it looks like she's got a bit of a temper.
You being serious?
You'd rate her higher?
Yeah... maybe.
This doesn't bother you at all?
That if we get caught we'll spend the rest of our lives
locked away, if we're lucky?
The fact that from hereon in,
we'll be the targets of our former victims
their friends loved ones and anyone else looking
to cash in on our bounties, none of whom, by the way,
we'll see coming because we don't remember
a thing past yesterday.
Not really.
No-no-no-no-no-no. Don't-don't-don't don't.
Yeah, that's something you need to get under control.
Those weapons in the cargo hold,
the matching pendants, at first, I thought it meant
we were the ones who were supposed to help the miners...
That we were their saviors.
But now I'm wondering if it means we killed their saviors
and heisted the delivery.
If I'm right, Ferrous Corp.. Isn't gonna let this go.
If we don't finish the job, they'll just send someone else.
Which is why we stick to the plan.
The miners get half the weapons, and a fighting chance.
We can do more.
Go all the way.
Commit to something.
We can fight with them.
That would be suicide.
Look if half of what's in those files is true,
then we can handle ourselves.
Doing good deeds and not even come close to making up for it.
I know what you're trying to do, and it's not going to work.
You don't want to believe what those files say you are, fair e.
I don't much want to either.
But I'm not gonna kill myself
trying to make up for crimes I don't even remember committin.
We stick to the plan.
And who made you team leader?
I did by stepping up.
And so did all of you by not challenging me when I did.
Unless... unless you've had a change of heart
and think you can do a better job?
Didn't think so.
[JACE CORSO/ONE sighs]
[SIX] Try that, is it on?
[ONE] Yeah.
[SIX] Okay.
[THREE] Seriously...
[FOUR] Yeah?
It's quicker, more effective in close quarter combat.
More effective than a gun?
Without a doubt.
You think you could outdraw me with that thing?
I would have your head cut off before you could even unholster.
Hey.
I need to talk to you.
Ohh.
[TWO] Look, I may have been a little hard on you before.
Believe me, I know how you feel.
We all do.
But 10 minutes after finding out you used to be a villain
is not the time to try to be a hero.
There is no room for independent action.
We need to stick together and watch each others' backs.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
I... think so.
Once the weapons are delivered and that shuttle comes back,
I want you on it.
Understood?
Yeah.
Alright.
Safe flight.
And stop staring at my ass.
[MIREILLE] Hey, I'm sorry we couldn't do more for you.
It's just we gave everything we had to Hrothgar.
[ONE] Don't worry about it.
Well, what are you gonna tell your employer?
I mean how are you going to explain...
Intergalactic transport's a risky business.
Cargo gets misplaced or stolen all the time.
Insurance'll cover it.
You're good people.
No, we're not.
You've helped us... I mean you probably saved our lives.
I'm beginning to think it's just the opposite.
By giving you these weapons,
I'm afraid we're just giving you false hope.
Look... you can't win this.
If you stay here and fight, you'll die.
But I'm hoping it's not gonna come to that.
We have help coming, and more weapons.
[THREE] That's the spirit.
Don't let the bastards get you down.
As for us, we gotta get back to our spaceship.
[WOMAN] Not yet.
At least allow us to thank you.
That bloodthirsty look in your eyes is all the thanks.
With song and drink!
Well, who doesn't love a good song huh?
Oh!
Well.
[keypad beeping]
I took another look at that console on the bridge,
but I think it's really fried.
At least until we can get some spare parts.
Sorry.
Yeah that's okay.
Hey, can I ask you something?
Get the answers you were looking for,
but if you could go back to when we first woke up,
and not know, would you?
[TWO sighs heavily]
I suppose I might.
But I have a feeling that not knowing would just make me
want to know all over again.
Well, I guess the next big mystery that needs solving
is who stole our memories.
No one stole our memories.
It was an accident.
No it wasn't.
[ANDROID] Two, you need to come to the bridge immediate.
[TWO sighs] What is it?
Another ship.
It's just dropped out of FTL.
Who is it?
Ferrous Corp. Oration destroyer.
They've already launched a shuttle.
It's headed towards the planet's surface.
We've got to get our people off that planet.
Did you contact the Marauder and warn them?
I attempted communication but received no response.
Shit.
We're being hailed by the other ship.
Would you like me to...?
Ignore it.
Marauder, this is the Raza.
You've got trouble headed your way.
[radio static]
[TWO] Marauder, do you read? [radio static continues]
[drinks clanking] [MARCUS BOONE/THREEl laughing]
[cheering]
We drink their drink, eat their food,
and then just... leave them here to die.
[SIX] Hey, if you've got another suggestion
that doesn't involve us dying here with them, I'd love to hea.
Maybe we should tell them the truth.
What that we're mercenaries sent here to kill them?
They should know that no more help is coming.
It won't make a difference.
Maybe not.
But we might.
We're very, very bad people who've some very bad things,
this is our chance to put our unique skill set to good us.
We stand alongside these miners and, when Ferrous Corp. Comes,
we hurt them, hurt them so bad
they think twice about bothering with this planet.
[GRIFFIN JONES/SIX chuckles] [ONE] What?!
You're nothing if not predictable.
Two told me you'd say all of th, practically word for word.
She also said to do whatever it takes
including knocking you out and dragging you back if I have.
Really?
She did ask me not to hit you in the face though.
[Thomas] Ferrous Corp. Is here!
Ferrous Corp. Is here!
Go, go!
Hey!
Marauder, this is The Raza.
We might consider the possibility that they've already
encountered the Ferrous Corp. Shuttle.
Patch me through to the destroyer.
Done.
This is The Raza.
Please, respond.
This is The Raza.
Please respond.
This is Commander Nieman of the FCS Deliverance.
Took you long enough.
What can I do for you, Commander?
Well you can start by telling me what the hell is going on?
Why you didn't complete your mission
or update us on your status?
There were some complications we had to contend with
but we have everything under control now.
Please have your shuttle fall b.
Contingency plans have been ena.
Again, that won't be necessary, Deliverance.
This is our show.
Not anymore it's not.
Raza, I'm on my way over.
[Nassan] That's far enough!
[MAN] Is that any way to act,
after Ferrous Corp. Made you such a generous offer?!
Generous?!
You'd turn us into slaves on our own land!
One last chance to reconsider!
[ONE] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Hold on! Hold on! Hold on, please!
Hold up.
No one wants a fight here.
You had a job to do, Corso.
[JACE CORSO/ONE panting]
Well, we took some time to think things through
and decided on a change of plan.
Take your men and leave.
Tell your bosses we're with these people now.
You can't be serious.
What did they offer you?
You know us.
You know what we're capable of.
Think of the losses.
It's not worth it.
Find another planet.
It's not my call.
I'll have to take this upstairs.
Fair enough.
[semi-automatic guns firing] rat-tat-tat-tat.
[MAN painfully yelps]
[shotgun blasts] bam-bam-bam.
We're under fire!
I repeat, we're under fire!
The mercs have turned, they're with the miners now!
We need back up!
Shut the hell up.
That actually went better than I thought it would.
[ANDROID] The shuttle is approaching.
Go.
And don't come out until we tell you it's safe.
Go!
The shuttle is within weapons range.
We have an advantage with speed and maneuverability.
But this ship is still far from fully operational.
Welcome aboard.
[NASSAN] Hey, you're gonna be fine, here.
[MIRELLE] Okay. You have medical training?
[SIX] Uh, yeah... I guess so.
That's great.
We could really use your expertise.
[THREE] Nope.
We can't stay.
[ONE] Of course we can.
Just long enough to help the injured.
We're leavin right now.
You selfish son-of-a...
[SIX] He's right.
It's a long hike back to the Marauder
and there could be more of them out there.
Wait a minute, you're going to abandon us?
You got your weapons, staying was never part of the d.
But now you're just going to leave us here.
Friend, the fallout would've been so much worse
if we hadn't been here so... you're welcome.
Please, I mean you've got a shuttle... a ship.
And they're at your disposal if any of you want to leave.
Look you stood, you made your point.
But now it's time to go.
This is a war you can't win.
Please.
You're all a bunch of cowards.
All of you.
Hagen, that's enough.
We can't expect anyone else to fight it for us.
Offered more than we had any right to expect of them.
We have help coming.
When it gets here, we'll be fin.
We appreciate all you've done for us.
Good luck.
[DAS/FIVE panting]
[clicks]
[ANDROID] So...
Do either of you possess offspring?
[TWO] Like I said, complications arose.
And continue to do so apparently.
I received word that we suffered casualties on the plant.
Yeah well I'm sorry to hear that...
And that your team was responsible.
Ours is a cutthroat business.
In this sector alone we're competing
with six other multiCorp. S for planetary resources.
Our major rival, the Mikkei Combine,
have been particularly aggressive.
The discovery of that tarium vein is a major coup...
One the company seeks to start exploiting immediately.
That planet is the only hospitable world in range.
Then maybe you should've started with the fair offer
instead of trying to bully the miners into submission.
I didn't come here to talk about what we can do for them.
I came here to discuss what we could do for you.
I'm listening.
You took payment in advance,
and then failed to complete the job.
That's bad business.
Lucky for you I'm feeling generous today.
I'm willing to call it even.
Turn this ship around and leave immediately.
That's it?
Well, it would be better if there were no witnesses.
I still have people down there.
They opened fire on Ferrous Corp. Personnel,
they have to answer for that.
I suggest you don't make the same mistake.
If it makes it easier, I'm willing to throw in a bonus.
Just for you.
How much?
Let's get the hell off this roc.
Uh, we've got a problem.
The ship... It's not there.
I'm telling you, it's not there.
The Raza's gone.
[THOMAS] I am so sorry.
If you hadn't taken the time to give us those weapons,
We wanted to help.
Still do.
This isn't your fight.
It is now.
Well, I can't tell a man how to live his life,
I'm not gonna tell him how to end it.
Okay we could use some fresh eyes on the perimete.
Patrol's growing mighty thin.
We have no way to anticipate when or where
this next attack will come.
Maybe there is.
[door creaks open]
Double-crossing us was a big mistake.
You and your friends are gonna die.
How?
Tell me.
How are we going to die?
Choking on your own blood.
Could you be more specific?
We're gonna line you up and shoot the lucky ones.
The rest, like you, we'll gut.
No.
That's not it.
You could have done that from the beginning.
Stormed this facility, execute everyone in it.
You have the men; The resources.
But you didn't.
You hired us to do your dirty work instead.
Plausible deniability.
A mining colony wiped out by mercenaries,
that's unfortunate, but it's not surprising.
A mining colony wiped out by a Corp.oration.
Well, that's scandalous.
We can make a deal...
Without being directly implicated in their deaths.
And you wouldn't be here unless
you had a plan to make that hap.
If you let me go I can guarantee your safety.
Look, I don't know anything.
You were neither briefed nor given orders?
Just transported down here to the planet
and expected to improvise?
I can tell you from experience, torture doesn't work.
Torture is often ineffective, even counter-productive.
On the other hand, I personally find it incredibly cathartic.
Of course it could work... righ.
They plan to target your reactor,
trigger a blast that will level this entire facility.
[THOMAS] It's a Mark Four fusion reactor.
Standard equipment for a mining community.
Nowadays we can hardly find spare parts to keep it running.
[ONE] It's the perfect cover: Outdated technology,
ill-equipped miners who don't know what they're doi.
It's an accident waiting to happen.
We'll never be able to hold this position.
Not for long, anyways.
At least we'll die fighting.

[ONE] How we looking Keeley?
[KEELEY] Clear skies.
Good.
Keep us updated.
What's up?
Hey.
I've been thinking.
Yeah?
You're right.
Which one of us?
Both of you.
We're doomed.
As much as I'd love to tell you "I told you so," I don't know.
I kinda like our chances here guys.
It doesn't matter how good our defenses are.
At the end of the day,
they got an endless supply of bodies and bullets.
Eventually, they'll wear us dow.
Okay, and what was I right about?
There might be a way to win thi, but it's a long shot.
Like you said, we've got to hit them where it hurts most:
Their bottom line.
Which is what we're doing here.
Ferrous Corp. Doesn't care about their men.
They'll just get more.
Ships, on the other hand, are a lot harder to come by.
And a hell of a lot more expensive.
You saying we take out their ship?
Yeah.
Well I like the idea in theory, but it begs the question:
How do we get it down here?
We don't.
We go up there after it.
Or I do anyway, in the Marauder.
I'll target their drive and that should do it.
Set off a chain of secondary explosions
that'll rip that ship apart.
And you with it.
Maybe not.
If I punch the Marauder's engine
and get clear of the blast radius...
[ONE] That's crazy.
They'll take you down before you're anywhere near the.
Oh they can try.
No.
We stand together and we die together.
We can't let you do this.
What?
Hear the guy out.
[SIX] I know you don't like it, believe me, I like it even less.
We show we're crazy enough to take out one of their ships,
Ferrous Corp. Will be less incld
to risk another one around here.
Think about it, you know I'm right.
I regret that I didn't have the opportunity
to get to know you better.
I think we could have been good friends.
Bet you regret not teaching me how to fly that shuttle now huh.
[THREE and SIX laughing]
Do I ever.
Take care of them.
You're the only one on that ship with a lick of sense.
If we help you, can you guarantee our safety?

Commander Nieman, allow me to introduce.
Commanders Sakey and Truffault of the MCS Sujin and Murakami.
How dare you interject yourselves
into a private dispute?
Well it's a good thing we did,
for the sake of those poor miners.
We were responding to an unprovoked attack...
That planet and its inhabitants now fall under the protectorate
of the Mikkei Combine,
meaning, you and your troops are in violation of galactic charter.
This planet is an independent mining colony.
Not anymore it's not.
We had a deal!
I got a better offer.
I'm sorry about Nassan.
He was a good leader.
I-I don't really know what we're gonna do without him.
Someone else will step up.
Yeah.
But you know we could... We could use some extra help.
Look I know it's not glamorous,
and I know it's not like being among the stars but...
You know, there are some things down here that aren't so bad.
Yeah, I can see that.
I just I think it's nice to have a place
where you know you belong.
I know.
For me right now, I think that place is up on that ship.
[SIX] Hey.
Lets go!
Good luck.
You too.
I knew Ferrous Corp. Wasn't the only player in the galaxy
so, after we jumped, I had the Android plot a course.
Once there, I took the liberty of making a deal
on the miners' behalf.
How much is Mikkei paying?
Nothing.
I gave them a 99 year lease for free.
[SIX scoffs] How the hell does that help the miners?
They'll never agree to that.
They already have.
They're signing the deal as we speak.
See, their mistake was trying to negotiate with one combine.
The only way to handle these bastards
is to play them against each other.
It's a stalemate.
The planet is worthless without the rights to the asteroid belt,
and the asteroid belt is worthless
without the rights to the planet.
For the price of filing some legal papers,
Mikkei gets to screw a major rival out of a big scor.
And if Ferrous ever caves and offers them some kind
of revenue sharing deal, the miners get 20 percent.
I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to tell you before
but I couldn't chance an intercept
of ship-to-surface communication.
Ah, we weren't worried.
I had a feeling you'd come back for us.
Mhmm.
Okay. So what's next?
Well, nearest space station is a couple of days out.
We head there, refuel, resupply, and then decide.
In the meanwhile, we can spend some quality time
getting to know each other.
Sweet.

Yeah.
Because we're dangerous.
