[Switch on, focus on Mal Reynolds. He looks tired, frustrated, and the half-smile he gives in greeting doesn't reach his eyes.]

Ain't much for goodbyes, but I ain't much for stayin' around in a hellhole ship seems designed to turn everyone on board crazy. I get enough of that back home an' at least there I got work to do.

Headin' off tonight, 'cause treatment like this don't work with POWs and it won't work for rehab. Now I know I look like a rat jumpin' ship, and maybe that's what I am. But I ain't enough of a rat to block the way.

You got any way to do it, you get yourself an' your inmate off this ship. If the Admiral lets me I'll take up to five more passengers on board Serenity and fly 'em to a world. [He figures he owes at least that much.]

[Private to Dean]
Didn't rack up any debt with anyone on board, so don't even think about offerin' to pay 'em off. You ever want a ride on a real ship, you look me up.

[Private to Chris]
You're gonna hold in there. [It's an order.]

[Private to Zev]
You... you feel up for one more walk?

You don't know how to take people with you, though? [Because Christ, that's tempting. If he could just take Arya off... Five people, who would he pick? Arya and someone to take care of her. Maybe... Lua and her inmate? That new kid Kevin?

Jesse, he knows he has to stay right where he is, but if he could get them all off...]

I'm assumin' it'll be like when I came on board, just going backwards. If I'm right, everyone holds hands while crossin' the street and we get back to my ship just fine. If I'm wrong...

But seein' how the Admiral's gone flighty in the brainpan after someone shoved somethin' up him, it could be no inmate gets out.

[Oh.] I don't think it works like that when it comes to inmates.
