Huer out. 382 00:29:50,165 --> 00:29:54,962 You're, uh, taking me to a city that may be wiped off the map at any minute? 383 00:29:55,045 --> 00:29:58,423 I told you it might be dangerous. You have a real gift for understatement. 384 00:29:59,925 --> 00:30:02,761 Why do all the good-looking ones have to be crazy? 385 00:30:07,266 --> 00:30:09,268 The plant is only a few kilometers away. 386 00:30:09,351 --> 00:30:13,605 We'll land behind the rock formations at its northern perimeter. 387 00:30:13,689 --> 00:30:15,816 It's won't be long now. 388 00:30:23,323 --> 00:30:28,662 Well, they're very clever. Even the identifying sensors are hidden. 389 00:30:28,745 --> 00:30:32,541 But you know where they are. Do you not, Mr. Selvan? 390 00:30:32,624 --> 00:30:36,211 But why not send Varek in ahead and let him open the doors from the inside? 391 00:30:36,295 --> 00:30:39,464 It doesn't work that way, Quince. The portal can only be opened from the outside, 392 00:30:39,506 --> 00:30:43,010 not without the correct identity code. 393 00:30:43,093 --> 00:30:46,805 Mr. Selvan here is our only key. 394 00:30:57,941 --> 00:31:00,110 This is insane. 395 00:31:00,152 --> 00:31:04,031 There are literally dozens of security baffles inside of this plant. 396 00:31:04,114 --> 00:31:08,118 And besides, you'll never make it beyond the maintenance androids. 397 00:31:24,676 --> 00:31:28,096 Ah. After we enter, 398 00:31:28,180 --> 00:31:31,016 the sensors will pick up five heartbeats, notjust one. 399 00:31:31,058 --> 00:31:33,644 An alarm will go off, so be prepared. 400 00:31:33,727 --> 00:31:36,605 If you will, Mr. Selvan. 401 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,282 Halt!
