Sir? I'd like you to take the helm, please.
Finally I got a letter that made no sense. She...
you could maybe find a place here, till you find a better.
Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal.
Lawman. It's Shepherd Book.
- He's the captain, Wash. - Right. I'm just the husband.
- Close one. - Yeah.
Then when I'm behind on the rent, you can enter unasked.
...the most challenging.
Just want to get paid.
You can do that? You're gonna kill a lawman in cold blood?
The lawman said they'd keep looking for her. Something about her...
and then I get paid.
No, no. Don't want to get in her way if we don't have to.
I want you to understand my full meaning.
If you want the truth, though, you're probably safer on the move.
- He's dead? - Town got hit by Reavers. Burned it right down.
R... River...
Why don't you make sure they want to meet me first?
Oh, God. Oh, God.
Imagine it will.
Get your squad to high ground... start pickin' 'em off.
- Take the kid. - Get your hands off...
Definitely a big ship, sir. And she's without power.
"Gifted" is the term.
That has an effect on the landscape.
Command says it's too hot. They're pulling out.
Doctor knows his trade, I'll give him that.
- Can she even... - Get her in there now.
Captain Reynolds.
You got a solution for that? You got a way around?
Kaylee comes through, you and your sister get off at Whitefall.
Kaylee! Go to blackout. We're being buzzed.
Oh, you noticed that.
I went to the best medacad on Osiris.
- She's a whore, Shepherd. - The term is "Companion".
We're just happy to be doing good works.
We're safe. I'm here.
And you're not gonna till I'm holdin' 200 in platinum.
- What? - I was just wondering what his job is...
And then we'll find a place.
Yet he seems very protective of his crew. It's odd.
I think Shepherd Book has offered to help me prepare something.
We're out of the woods.
I expected you.
Don't go to mentioning the cruiser though. Keep it simple.
I got exactly no time for games. What do they know?
I love my captain.
Hang on, travelers.
So when I tell you that my little sister...
I...
Watch out...
Awful lot of men to haul three crates.
I can tell her to cut it short, meet us at the docks.
Even if it doesn't, they can push just as hard, keep right on us.
We're holding course. We should be passing them in a minute.
They're not stories.
- Tell me you scrambled it. - All to hell, but I don't know how much got through.
Patience is gonna figure we buried the cargo...
No. As I said...
No, wait. I... I think maybe you're confused.
- Pass the tomatoes. - The important thing is the spices.
So we'll see what they do.
You hold! Go!
Nah. I think she had a pretty full docket.
The shot I gave you will help you sleep.
She talked about things that never happened. Jokes that we never...
Welcome aboard.
Okay. Just promise me you're gonna remember that.
Didn't I.D. us. Doesn't lead to you.
Also, certain bullets.
He took her.
Or maybe you're exactly where you ought to be.
but I think we're being followed.
He's nice.
Finding out she's been sold to some border-world baron?
