3. Season : life after death

3.01 - Fire and Water

Der Roboterkopf 790 befindet sich allein auf der Brücke. Die Brücke ist ansonsten verlassen, in der Cryokammer liegen Xev, Stan, und Kai. Der Roboterkopf wacht auf. Er scannt die Umgebung. Und findet zwei Planeten, die mit einer Art Atmosphärenschlauch miteinander verbunden sind, der eine Planet ist voller Wüste, der andere ein Wasserplanet. 790 erschrickt.
Er sitzt auf seinem Rollwagen und versuchte diesen, von der Stelle zu bewegen. Dabei scheint es Probleme zu geben. „Don't do this to me now! Come on, come on, I have to wake up Xev!" 
Der Rollenwagen schießt nach vorne, über die Brüstung hinaus, der Roboterkopf stürzt ein Stück über die Brüstung hinunter, aber bevor er in den Abgrund fallen kann, wird er von eine Stange aufgehalten, auf der er verklemmt liegen bleibt. Als 790 versucht, seinen Wagen in seiner Richtung zu steuern, schießt auch dieser über die Brüstung und in den Abgrund. 790 bleibt hilflos liegen.

790: „Xev, can you hear me?" 

790 versucht per Fernsteuerung die Cryokammer zu erreichen, um seine geliebte Xev aufzuwecken. Seine Augenfenster zeigten Programmiercode. Der Versuch schlägt fehl.

790: „Can you hear me? You have to wake up now!  - Xev, oh darling, Xev, I failed you! Your head in love has let you down!" 790 weint.
***
Szenenwechsel: über dem Wüstenplaneten schwebt ein Ballon, an Bord ein blonder Kerl mit auffallender dicker Sonnenbrille, einen gräulich schwarzen Mantel in der Form einer Priesterkutte mit einem seltsamen Rückenteil, fächerförmig. Er trägt ein weißes Rüschenhemd, ist ein bisschen füllig um den Bauch herum, eine zum Mantel passende schwarze Hose. Er sitzt am Steuer des Ballons, dreht an ein paar Reglern. Unterhalb der Heißlufthüllen befindet sich eine Holzschiffs-artige Konstruktion, in dieser befinden sich die Passagiere, neben dem blonden Mann, der auch auffallend anders gekleidet ist als der Rest der Mannschaft, befinden sich ein paar schmutzige Männer in knappen Lederoutfit, mit Hundehalsbändern, mit seltsamen Metallhüten, diversen Schutzblechen aus Metall am ganzen Körper, erinnert an Rüstungen und diversen anderen Nieten, Stachel und Lederzeug. Einer der Untergebenen pumpt. Zwei weitere bedienen eine Art Harpune am Bug des Schiffes. Sie nähern sich der über ihnen schwebenden Lexx, die um so vieles größer ist als der Ballon. Sie schießen einen Enterhaken ab, verfehlen aber die Konstruktion der Lexx. Der Mann im dunklen Mantel gibt ihnen ein Zeichen, es erneut zu versuchen. Während dessen fummelt er an einer kleinen Ampulle herum, die Wasser enthält. Er trinkt.
Die beiden Männer schießen erneut ihren Enterhaken, und haben diesmal mehr Glück. Der Ballon wird an die Lexx gekoppelt. Und fliegt mit dieser weiter.
Die Mannschaft der Gondel betritt die Lexx, der blonden Mann schaut sich interessiert um, während seiner Untergebenen auf Erkundungsrundgangs sind. Ziemlich ängstlich. Der blonden Mann ist ruhig und eher gefasst und neugierig. Die Untergebenen finden eine Motte, öffnen sie, sie ist sehr verstaubt, als der Untergebenen versucht, den Steuerknüppel zu bedienen, zerfällt dieser zu Staub. Die Motte ist tot.
Der blonden Mann riecht etwas, und findet tropfendes Wasser auf den Wänden der Lexx. Er untersucht das Wasser, fühlt und schmeckt es. Während dessen untersuchen seine Leute weiter die Umgebung, sie kriechen auf der Bettstelle von Stan herum, diese ist ebenfalls in der Form einer Motte. Die Stelle ist verlassen, der blonden Mann kriecht hinein, und riecht an den Laken.
Sie erreichen die Brücke. Der blonden Mann schaut sich die hohe Decke an, dann hört er ein Weinen. Es ist 790. Der blonden Mann schaut auf die beiden verbundenen Planeten auf dem Bildschirm. Er gibt seinen Leuten ein Zeichen, den Roboter Kopf zu holen. Diese klettern herunter und tun das.
790: „Unhand me, beans, or better: first bring me to my beloving Xev!" 
Der blonden Mann klettert auf den Befehlsstand, dass grüne Schlüsselsymbol erscheint, aber da der blonden Mann den Gegenschlüssel nicht besitzt, verschwindet das Hologramm wieder. Der blonden Mann lässt sich den Roboterkopf bringen. Sie schauen sich in die Augen.
790 fordert: „Bring me to Xev!"
Blonder Mann: „Who is Xev?"
790: „My beloved darling Xev is the greatest woman who ever lived and I demand that you wake her at once!"
Der blonden Mann schnüffelt am Roboterkopf und verlässt den Kommandostand. „Who else is on board? Exactly?"
790: „The security guard Stanley Tweedle who is of no importance whatsoever at any time or place! And a dead assassin named 'Kai'! Bring me to her at once or ...!"
Blonder Mann: „Or what?"
790: „I will wake her up myself!"
Blonder Mann: „How?"
790: „I would have wakened her a long time ago, except the cryo pod control unit couldn't hear me from down there where I was stuck."
Blonder Mann: „So she is the important one?"
790: „Without a doubt."
Blonder Mann: „Ah."
790: „So you are going to bring me to her?"
Blonder Mann: „No!"
Der blonde Mann lässt den Kopf fallen, wirft ihn zur Seite, sodass er über die Brüstung fällt und in den Abgrund hinein, wo dieser schreiend zerschmettert.
Einer der Untergebenen zieht sein Messer. Sie begeben sich in die Cryokammer, und versuchen den Pod von Kai zu öffnen. Der blonde Mann beugt sich über den Pod, schnuppert ein bisschen, und stellt dann fest: 
Blondy: „The dead one."
Sie gehen zur nächsten Kammer. Sie versuchen diese zu öffnen, aber mit bloßer Gewalt geht es nicht. In der mittleren Kammer schläft Stan. Als einer der Untergebenen die letzte Kammer begutachtet, sieht er Xev, es gefällt ihm, was er dort sieht. Und er versucht, sie mit einer Art pumpenden Hebebewegung zu öffnen. Wieder ohne Erfolg. Der blonde Mann leckt an der Glashülle von Xevs Kammer, auch ihm gefällt, was er sieht. Inzwischen haben seiner Leute angefangen, an der Kontrollkonsole herum zu spielen. Der blonden Mann schaut sich diese näher an, und betätigt den richtigen Schalter, um die mittleren Kammer, die von Stan, zu öffnen.
Stan sieht nicht gut aus, überall kleben noch Eisstücke an ihm. Er stöhnt, als er anfängt sich zu bewegen: „Kai, mine is not working."
Die Untergebenen wollen sich auf Stan stürzen, aber der blonde Mann hält sie zurück.
Stan: „Oh, I feel really stiff for some reason! Really sick. Are we somewhere?"
Während Stan noch versucht, seine Sinne zu sammeln, und das Eis loszuwerden, antwortet ihm.
Der blonden Mann: „Yeah!"
Stan: „Where?"
Blonder Mann: „Somewhere."
Stan bemerkt zum ersten Mal die Fremden: „Who are you?"
Die Untergebenen stürzen sich auf Stan und halten ihn fest. Sie ziehen ihn aus dem Pod und halten ihn ein Messer an den Hals, Stan wehrt sich so gut er kann, aber er hat Angst!
Der blonde Mann: „Prince. - Who are you?"
Stan: „Stanley!"
Prince: „What are you?"
Einer der Untergebenen fängt an, Stans Ohr zu lecken.
Stan: „I am a Tweedle. I am ... I am a captain."
Prince: „Yes?"
Stan: „Of the Lexx."
Prince: „The Lexx?"
Stan: „This is the Lexx."
Alle schauen sich um und nach oben.
Prince: „This comet!"
Stan: „Comet? No no, this is not one, it's the Lexx, it's, it's a big ... it's a big ah ..."
Prince: „Bug."
Stan: „Yeah, yeah it's a big bug, ah it's also a spaceship. It flies around like a bug, only it is bigger. And it can..."
Prince: „What?"
Stan: „It can, ..."
Prince: „What?"
Stan: „It can talk. If it wants to."
Sie schleppen Stan auf die Brücke, wo er sich das feuchte Gesicht mit einem Lappen abwischt. Stan sieht die beiden Planeten, um die Lexx kreist.
Stan: „Mh, oh, exactly where are we?"
Prince: „Between Fire and Water."
Stan: „And how long have we been here?"
Prince: „You first appeared in the sky three battles ago."
Stan: „How long is that?"
Prince: „A long time."
Die Untergebenen bringen ihn zum Kommandostand und stellen sich an seine Seiten, um jedes Entkommen zu vermeiden. Prince pflanzt sich vor ihm auf.
Prince: „There have been many expeditions to the giant comet, or the bug, as you call it. This is the first to succeed."
Stan: „Mh, interesting."
Prince deutet Stan, das Schlüsselhologramm zu bedienen. Stan macht wie befohlen.
Stan: „Lexx, you can wake up now."
Lexx: „Good ...morning, Stanley."
Die Untergebenen springen alarmiert auf und ziehen ihre Waffen, aber sie sehen niemanden, der spricht. Prince dreht sich zum Bildschirm um.
Stan: „Good morning, Lexx, - how are you today?"
Lexx: „I am tired, Stan. I have been sleeping for a very long time."
Stan: „How long?"
Lexx: „I don't know."
Prince: „How important are you?"
Stan: „Isn't it obvious?"
Die Untergebenen ziehen wieder ihre Messer - Richtung Stans Hals, dieser fühlt sich verpflichtet seine Wichtigkeit zu unterstreichen.
Stan: „Ah, Lexx?"
Lexx: „Yes?"
Stan: „Tell them, ahm, tell them, that you are not unfriendly in any way, that you are just a big bug, that that wants to eat. Right?"
Lexx: „I am not unfriendly in any way, I am just a big bug, that wants to eat. Right?"
Stan: „So, let's go, wake up the others."
Prince: „Why? We just getting to know each other."
Stan: „My friends have been asleep for a long time. I am sure, they really want to be up about now."
Prince steigt auch auf die Steuer-Blüte.
Prince: „Let us be friends, Stanley Tweedle, you and I."
Stan: „Yeah, sure! Friends. (lacht nervös) We are friends."
Prince grinst. Steigt von der Blüte herunter und wieder auf die Umrandung.
Prince: „So what else does your bug do?"
Stan geht ihm nach, dicht gefolgt von seinen beiden Bewachern.
Stan: „It ah, well, it flies around. When it ah..."
Prince: „When it what ?"
Geht wieder eindringlich nah an Stan heran.
Stan: „When it...when it does. See, I should have asked you before, but what do you guys exactly want?"
Prince: „The question is not, what do WE want."
Untergebene streicheln Stans Arm.
Stan: „I want, ah, I want ah out of here!"
Stan rennt los. Zur Cryo-Kammer, wo er versucht, Kai zu wecken, ziemlich unkoordiniertes Schalterdrücken. In einem eben noch leeren Pod erscheint Prince: „We missed you, Stanley."
Stan: „Jesus."
Von hinten springen ihn die Untergebenen an und packen ihn. Stan schreit. Sie drücken ihn in seinen leeren Cryo-Pod und packen ihn an der Gurgel. Einer streicht ihm mit dem Messer über die Wange.
Stan: „That hurts!"
prince: „Does it?"
Stan: „Yes, it does!"
Prince grinst: „I am very good with pain!"
Die Lexx umkreist weiter den Wüstenplaneten, als Stan auf der Brücke in der Kontrollblüte als Ziel für Messerwerfübungen herhalten muss.
Stan: „Why are you doing this to me?"
Prince: „Fun."
Ein Untergebener wirft, der andere läßt den Werfer absichtlich nicht in Ruhe, stößt ihn an! Das Messer geht neben Stan in die Blüte.
Lexx: „Au!"
Prince: „Tell me a story, Stanley Tweedle."
Stan: „What kind of story?"
das zweite Messer, wieder gestört, fliegt los und trifft die Blüte.
Lexx: „Autsch."
Prince: „Tell me about yourself."
Stan: „What do you want to know?"
Prince: „Who you are."
Das dritte Messer fliegt ungehindert. und kommt direkt neben Stans Kopf zu stecken.
Lexx: „Au."
Prince: „How you got here."
Stan: „Well, we ran from the light universe - that got destroyed and that made us go into the dark zone. Into here."

****Rückblende: Stan in Kommandostand, Kai läuft herum, Xev singt ein Lied von Brigadoom - ohne Text. Sie wiegt dabei 790s Kopf hin und her.

790: „The voice of an angel."
Stan: „Just let's not forget NOW we are in the dark zone. And this is the universe of evil, of chaos, of depravity. I mean, so what do we do now? Hah?"
Xev: „I suppose, we find ourselves a new home?"
Stan: „Fine, which then get's destroyed like every place we have ever been?"
Xev: „Your point?"
Stan: „My point, my point ... is, that this time we should actually have a plan, you know! Let's actually choose what's our destination instead of finding some random one."
Xev: „Yeah."
Stan: „Okay. - Kai. You know about the dark zone. I mean, where are the good planets?"
Kai: „Define 'good planet'. „
Stan: „Well, for me everyone, you know, you feel comfortable living on with a kind of a jingle-mean, get honk and do it, you know, kind of planet, you understand, what I mean."
Kai verzieht das Gesicht, schüttelt den Kopf.
Kai: „No."
Xev schaut etwas sparsam.
Stan: „Well, you know, „Come here, squeeze me, please me, tease me" kind of planet, you know? A naked nudey nymphomaniac planet."
Kai: „Nimbus 9."
Stan: „What, Nimbus 9, what?"
Kai: „Nimbus 9 is a prison-planet, rumoured to be entirely populated by naked nudey nymphomaniacs."
Stan (lacht lüstern): „Ohoho, Lexx, set course for Nimbus 9!"
Lexx: „I am sorry, I can not do that."
Stan: „What?"
Lexx: „I can not set course for Nimbus 9."
Stan: „No no no ... 10 times no. Lexx, I am your captain, and I am giving you a direct order!"
Lexx: „I'm sorry, Stanley, I can not."
Stan: „Why not?"
Lexx: „I am hungry."
Stan: „Ja, Lexx well, so am I, - what has got that to do with going to Nimbus 9. I am giving you a direct order."
Lexx: „I am very hun.............."
Die Stimme der Lexx wird sehr tief und verstummt.
Stan: „Lexx? ... Lexx ? LEXX!"
Der Bildschirm verdunkelt sich. 

Kai fummelt an verschiedenen Drähten im Innern der Lexx herum. Er verbindet zwei davon, die vorher getrennt waren. Funken sprühen, aber das stört Kai ja nicht.
Lexx: „...hungry."
Stan: „Yeah, Lexx so you said. Please take us to Nimbus 9."
Kai stopft die Drähte zurück in das Gewirr:
Kai: „The Lexx is out of fuel."
790: „Kai merely diverted some of the tine amount of power left in the Lexx's weapon system."
Kai: „Food is his fuel, and the Lexx has not eaten in some time."
Xev: „Which means?"
790: „That we are stuck!"
Alle 4 kriechen zurück in die Motte und fliegen zur Brücke zurück.
Stan: „Why don't you just go ahead and eat?"
Lexx: „There is nothing to eat around here."
Stan: „Well, then go somewhere where there is food!"
Lexx: „I cannot go anywhere."
Stan: „How can you be so stupid."
790: „Easily and always. He is stupid and you are captain of the stupid."
Xev: „What about our food, can he still feed us?"

Sie gehen in den Diningroom, wo aus den Schläuchen nichts heraus kommt.
Stan: „Please. Lexx, just one little squash of that delicious creamy substance, that we love so much."
Lexx: „I am sorry, Stan. You are my captain, but I can not."
Stan: „The Lexx can't move, can't make us food, what are we doing?"
790: „Xev, darling?"
Xev: „Yes, 790?"
790: „When you die, our love will not end. I will think about nothing else but you, until I run out of power. I will love you to my last electron."
Stan schnippt mit den Fingern und schaut Kai fragend an.
Stan: „A moth. We can take a moth and fly to the nearest planet!"
790: „The nearest solar system is over 400 light years away. Many 1000 times the range of a moth."
Stan: „Okay, okay, forget that plan."
Xev: „Do we have any plan?"
Kai: „We can drift."
790: „YES!"

Zurück auf der Brücke.
Kai: „We can drift until we eventually are drawn into the orbit of some stellar object."
Stan: „How long will it take us to reach one of those if we just drift?"
790: „All between 900 standard years and 60 000 standard years."
Xev: „So what do we eat in the meantime?"

Einige Zeit später wurde etwas ausgetüftelt. Xev liegt mit 790 auf dem Boden und tätschelt den Kopf.
Xev: „Ready?"
790: „Ready. - I will go into deep shutdown to preserve my power. I will switch on once each month to check things out. But Xev ...."
(790 fährt ein Stückchen von ihr fort.)
Xev: „Yes?"
790: „Can't I wake you up? „
Xev: „Why?"
790: „Just to look at you?"
Xev: „No."
Sie steht auf.
790: „Xev?"
Xev kniet sich neben ihn.
Xev: „Yes?"
790: „I miss you already!"
Xev: „I miss you, too!"
Xev gibt ihm einen Kuss auf das Blech.

Kai bedient die Cryokonsole und Stan geht in seinen Pod.
Kai: „I set the program to wake me up once each year. To check on 790."
Stan: „Why? Don't you trust him?"
Kai: „Our journey will be long. The chance of mechanical failure over such a period - is not - insignificant."
Stan: „Okay, Lexx, are you ready?"
Lexx: „I am ready, Stan."
Stan: „Good, oh, I guess, this is it. I am ready."
Xev: „I am ready."
Stan: „Yeah, me too, okay, Lexx, it is time! You can go to sleep now."
Lexx: „As you command."
Stan: „And Lexx, don't wake up, until I tell you, okay?"
Xev begibt sich auch in ihre Kammer / Pod.
Lexx: „Good night, Stan!"
Stan: „Good night, Lexx."
Kai: „Good night, Stan."
Stan: „Good night, Kai."
Die Kammer von Stan wird geschlossen und geflutet.
Xev: „Kai, is it okay, if I dream about you?"
Kai: „You will not dream."
Xev: „Well, if I did dream, I like to dream about you."
Kai: „If you like."
Xev: „I do like! Good night, Kai."
Xevs Cyro-Kammer wird geschlossen und geflutet, Kai geht in seine eigene Kammer und da passiert dasselbe - auf der Brücke schaltet sich 790 auch aus. ------ Ende der Rückblende****

Zurück auf der Brücke mit Stan und Prince. Wo Prince nachdenklich hin und her wandert.
Stan: „And then, then you unfroze me. - Seems like that all just happened. Think you have no sense of time, when you are in cryo sleep. Look, that is everything, that's it. We are just travellers, we are just passing through - and look I know, that this ship looks big and looks scary now, but it is just a big bug, it couldn't hurt a fly! So it is no threat to you or to anybody. So look, I just go, wake up the others and we will continue on our way!"
Prince baut sich vor Stan auf und zieht das Messer aus der Blüte.
Prince: „What about the man in black?"
Stan: „Oh, he is dead. We are just hang on to him until we can find a land or a planet where we can bury him. You know. That is a custom we observe for the dead. Actually, he is kind of 'alive dead'."
Prince spielt mit dem Messer herum, schneidet sich ein bisschen.
Prince: „Alive dead?"
Stan: „Yeah, he can actually walk around a little. We should go and wake him up, so that I could show you. - You might find it really interesting."
Prince: „What about the woman?"
Stan: „Oh, puh, don't worry about her. She is just a nurse or something. I don't even know for sure what exactly it is, that she does so, but she is definitely not important."
Prince: „She is not important?"
Stan: „No, not important. Not in any way she did before."
Prince wird wütend und plötzlich richtet sich sein Fächer im Nacken auf - wie bei einem bedrohten Reptil.
Prince: „YOU are not important!"

***

Zurück in der Gondel, dem Ballon - Prince am Bug bestimmt den Kurs, seine Leute steuern und hantieren herum. Ihr Ziel, eine Stadt auf einer Säule hoch über der Wüste.
An einem Ort IN der Stadt füllt Prince seine Ampulle an einem kleinen Wasserbecken wieder auf. Er trinkt.
Der Raum um ihn herum ist schattig, von außen dringt helles Licht durch schmale Schlitze. In der Mitte des Raumes ist eine Art Brunnen, nur scheint es eher Feuer als Wasser zu enthalten und darauf steht Xevs Cryopod und wird langsam aufgetaut. Mit Xev drin. Prince leckt an dem Glas des Pods herum, wo das getaute Eis langsam Wassertropfen bildet.

***
Stanley wird in einen dunklen, schmierigen und lauten Ort gebracht, wo man ihn von einem Sack über seinem Kopf befreit, ansonsten liegt er in Ketten. Zwei finstere Gestalten nehmen sich seiner an, und sperren ihn in eine Vorrichtung mit Pedalen. Stan wehrt sich halbherzig.
Stan: „Where am I?"
Die beiden Gestalten in Fetzen / Fellen - reden nicht, sehen ziemlich mitgenommen und eklig und dreckig aus, das eine scheint eine Frau zu sein. (die dicke Frau aus ‚Love grows'! Season 2!)
Stan: „Hey, look, pal. I haven't agreed to any of this!"
Wächter: „OH! -"
Sie stoßen seltsam kehlige Laute aus. Sie wollen, dass Stan etwas tut!
Stan: „What was that?"
Sie deuten auf die Pedalen und Handstangen.
Stan: „Could you please speak a little bit more clearly?"
Stan: „What a couple of creatures. Look, you see, when I speak, I use my lips and tongue, so that simple tongs like you, can understand!"
Stan wird angestoßen und einer der beiden deutet auf sein Halsgebamsel.
Stan: „Is that your tongue? - Oh, sorry, but I still don't understand, what you want from me!"
Sie zeigen ihm das hin und her der Stöcke und Pedalen.
Stan: „Oh ! - Is this what I am suppose to do?"
Die beiden nicken.
Stan: „Yeah? Well, I don't want to do that!"
Die Kreaturen schimpfen laut.
Stan: „Whatever, whatever, I don't want to do that!"
Die Gestalten pieksen und triezen ihn!
Stan: „Okay, okay. I do it, I do it - for what?"
Sie fummeln an komplizierten Mechanismen herum, u.a. eine Blei-Gewichtsscheibe, die an Stans Gerät gehängt wird. Stan schaut skeptisch - die Kreaturen gehen grinsend davon. Wenn Stan nicht in die Pedalen tritt, fällt das Gewicht herunter. Stan schaut nicht glücklich aus.

***
Die Lexx treibt derweil weiter durch den Raum, wo Kais Cryokammer automatisch aufgeht und er aufwacht. Er findet die anderen Cryokammer leer hervor, schaut auf die Kontrollkonsole, geht zur Brücke, sieht auch dort niemanden, auch keinen 790. Am Rande der Brüstung bleibt er stehen, schaut nach unten, macht seine Fletsche fertig, und stützt sich in den Abgrund.
***
In der Zwischenzeit in der Stadt auf dem Wüstenplaneten, Xev erwacht, stößt an ihren Deckel, drückt ihn auf. Auch sie ist noch voller Eisstücke.
Xev: „Where am I? - Kai ? Stan ? Mh, suck ---!"
Es geht Xev nicht sehr gut. Dann pickt Prince eines der Eisstücke von ihrer Haut. Sie sieht ihn an.
Xev: „Who are you?"
Prince grinst sie an, sie richtet sich auf. Pickt das Eis aus ihrem Gesicht und Haar.
Xev: „Who are you?"
Prince: „I am Prince. Who are you?"
Xev: „Xev."
Prince: „Xev?"
Prince kommt an den Pod.
Prince: „Tell me about yourself, Xev, tell me everything! Tell me about your ship, tell me your story."

***
Kai fummelt breitbeinig sitzend auf der Brücke der Lexx an den Einzelteilen von 790 herum, die er vor sich hingestellt hat, nachdem er ein Auge wieder eingesetzt hat, steckt Kai den Würfel menschlichen Gehirns in den Kopf - 790 fängt an, einige Geräusche von sich zu geben, abgehackt. Dann fügt Kai langsam etwas fadiges, ballonartiges ein, was die Energiezelle sein könnte ? Oder der Hauptprozessor? Nicht unähnlich dem ‚Kocher' in der Folge: May - später. Was so was wie die SEELE des Proteinregenerator sein soll!

***

Stan trampelt in der Zwischenzeit weiter in Ketten herum, aber ihn verlässt die Lust und es ist auch viel zu warm für so einen Sport!
Stan: „No no no - 3000 times no. I won't do this anymore!"
Er wirft die Stöcke von sich. Das Bleistück fällt herunter, und schlägt eine Glocke an.
Stan: „I had enough! I don't want it anymore, do you hear me?"
Man sieht zum ersten Mal in welcher Gesellschaft sich Stan befindet, in einer Zelle unter vielen hundert oder tausend Zellen, - alle mit strampelnden Gefangenen! Zwischen den offenen Zellen, die sich wie eine riesige Wand aneinander reihen, fahren Leute auf Seilwinden hin und her - an die sie mit ihrem Kopf befestigt sind! Einige sehen sehr tot aus, andere zappeln noch
Stan: „Does anybody hear me? This is Stanley H. Tweedle and I am not gonna play your stupid game anymore! - Come on, Stanley, wake up!"
Er schlägt sich selbst leicht an den Kopf.
Stan: „Wake up! Wake up."
Es nützt aber alles nichts.
Stan: „This can't be real! This is not real. I am still in cryo sleep - still on the Lexx! This is not real!"
Die Gestalten kommen wieder.
Stan: „Ah, good, finally! Look, I hereby formally protest against this treatment I am receiving. I have done nothing to ward this kind of punishment. I command that I will return to my ship - or else you will suffer the superiors (???), the SURVARIOUS consequences - and I am serious about this - to respond to my demand promptly - or else I will see personally that you will pay the price! Period!"
Er wird von den Wächtern geschlagen!
Stan: „Forget it, forget it. Listen, listen, my arms are tired, my legs are about to give out and my back is burning up. So you can poke all you want, I am not gonna do this anymore!"
Nach dem Geschrei fangen sie an, ein Gestell von der Decke zu holen, in das sie seinen Kopf einspannen.
Stan: „Hey hey, can you guys hear me? I know, you don't have tongues, but you still have ears? Can you hear me? - I am Stanley H. Tweedle, captain of the Lexx, and I cannot pull up this any longer! - What have I done to deserve this?"
Über Stan wird eine sehr scharfe Klinge angebracht - ein Wächter testet sie, schneidet sich damit in den Finger und streicht Stan das Blut über die Nase.
Stan: „Ah, yeah, this is a joke, right? Hahahah right?"
Wenn nun das Bleigewicht wieder herunter fällt, wird Stan enthauptet!
Stan: „This is a joke, right? You guys are just trying to scare me, right? I am going to cooperate, okay? Let me cooperate, okay? Hey, guys!"
Stan erkennt die Gefahr und fängt an, in die Pedalen zu strampeln.
Stan: „You made your point, okay so, so lets get rid of the blade-thing, okay? Look I don't have a whole lot more left in me, okay? Without a head I won't be able to pump at all! Guys, look, I am pumping, the blade, guys! --- Guys!"
Die Gestalten gehen weg.

***
Auf der Lexx setzt Kai die letzten Stücke von 970 zusammen. Der Kopf springt an! 790 erschrickt! Kai schließt die Klappe und dreht den Kopf zu sich um.
790: „I will love you forever!"
Kai schaut ein bisschen irritiert zur Seite.

***

Xev ist nun voll wach, aber ihr ist warm in der dunklen Kammer auf dem Wüstenplaneten. Xev entledigt sich ihrer Echsenhaut um die Taille herum. Sexy bauchfrei.
Xev: „Why is it so hot in here?"
Prince: „That is my chosen world. - Some suffer in a world of heat and flames and others look herniated in a world of cool water and endless beauty."
Prince spielt mit seinem eigenen kleinen Wasserspeicher herum, der auf komplizierte Weise über einen Apparat Tropfen für Tropfen auffängt.
 Xev: „What are you talking about?"
Prince: „What has always been and no longer must be."
Xev: „Sorry?"
Prince: „We burn in the heat. And they care nothing for our suffering."
Xev: „Who are 'they'?"
Prince öffnet eine Luke und dann eine ganze Pforte nach draußen auf eine Art Balkon. Man sieht unter sich endlose Wüste und Hitze, über sie schwebt der Planet voller Wasser am Himmel. Xev geht ihm langsam nach.
Prince: „No one knows how long ago the war began. No one knew how it would end, until now! Are you afraid?"
Xev: „Of what?"
Prince: „Of me."
Xev: „Should I be?"
Prince: „Yes."
Xev: „I still don't know, who you are, but no, I am not afraid of you."
Prince: „We pump the bellows day and night to keep the air cool, that is the only way we have to survive. We must escape from this planet."
Prince zeigt Xev den anderen Planeten.
Prince: „There is our new home: Water. - I sense a deep emptiness in you, Xev!"
Er schnüffelt an ihr herum.
Prince: „Please help me."
Xev: „How?"
Prince: „I don't know. You must tell me, I only know, that you can."
Xev: „Why?"
Prince: „It is my gift."
Xev: „I don't think, I understand."
Prince: „I have waited for you forever!"
Er streicht ihr über die Wange. Xev, zunächst skeptisch und zögernd ist nun doch etwas positiv angetan.
Xev: „What do you mean?"
Prince: „I knew that somehow someday you would come here. And until that day happened I would never knew true joy!"
Xev: „Is that what you feel - now?"
Prince: „Close your eyes. - Close them."
Er küsst sie.
Prince: „Please help me."
Xev: „How can I?"
Prince: „Until now there has always been a balance. That's why the war has never ended - but now, you, Xev, you are the grain of sand, that will tip the scales. You and your ship, the Lexx."

***
Auf der Brücke der Lexx, wo Kai immer noch mit 790 auf dem Boden sitzt.
Kai: „790, you do not love me. You love Xev."
790: „Who's Xev?"
Kai: „She is a beautiful love-slave."
790: „Who cares about a stupid love-slave? YOU are the man of my dreams!"
Kai: „Except for one short period each year I have been frozen for over 4 millennia, you have been switching on once each month during that same period. Since I last reanimated, Xev and Stan, the other members of the crew, have disappeared, - what happened to them?"
790: „Don't know, don't care."
Kai denkt nach und fühlt sich sichtlich etwas unwohl.
Kai: „790, do you love me?"
790: „Desperately."
Kai: „Then you will help me locate them."
790: „Whatever you say, heart drop of desire!"

***
Stan paddelt weiter so gut er kann, aber er ist sehr müde, pennt praktisch ein, wacht aber gerade noch in der Sekunde auf, als das Blei zu fallen droht!
Stan:  „Where is the dead man, when you need him?"

***
Kai geht mit 790 unter dem Arm in die Motten-Kammer - nur findet er auch nur tote und verstaubte Motten vor, die Tür fällt ihm entgegen und der Steuerknüppel zerfällt zu Staub. Kai denkt einen Moment nach.
Kai: „The moths are all dead. So we can not fly down to the two planets."
790: „Kai?"
Kai: „Yes?"
790: „Your name has a nice ring to it."
Kai schaut wieder ein bisschen peinlich berührt drein.
Kai: „Thank you, 790."

***
Xev und Prince wieder in der Halle zurück.
Xev: „Where are Stanley and Kai?"
Prince: „They are dead."
Xev: „Oh. Stanley Tweedle was the one who had the key to the Lexx."
Prince: „The key - to the Lexx?"
Xev: „Yeah, the Lexx only responds to the one who has the key."
Prince: „Is that important?"
Xev: „The Lexx is not a grain of sand that can tip your scale. It is a hugh desert. Actually it is the most powerful weapon ever created. It can destroy planets within seconds. But only if Stanley Tweedle tells it to."
Prince: „He never mentioned that to me."
Und endlich scheint Xev ein bisschen erstaunt zu sein!
Xev: „What do you mean? - I thought, he was dead?"

***
Kai sitzt in der Kontrollblüte und füllt in der Zwischenzeit sein Protoblut aus einem Druckbehälter auf, der nur noch zu 1/3 mit der goldenen Flüssigkeit gefüllt ist, auf der Brücke auf, 790 steht neben ihm.
790: „Please, Kai, think of me! Think of our future together."
Kai: „When we pass between the two planets, I can drop down to one or the other. I have no real knowing, which one they are on. I have to make a random choice."
790: „Choose me, choose the robot head."
Kai: „I will not make THAT choice."
Kai stöpselt sein Protoblut-Schläuche aus.
790: „Then promise me, you will come back."
Kai: „I cannot do that either. I may not find the means necessary to return."
790: „Then let me come with you!"
Kai: „You would be destroyed on impact."
Kai legt neben 790 eine Funke hin, die andere nimmt er mit.
Kai: „I will call you, if I require your assistance."
Dann richtet Kai seinen Brust-Schlauch-Eingang wieder her, feuert seine Fletsche zum Dach der Lexx und macht sich damit auf den Weg zur Außenhülle. Von dort sind beide Planeten zu sehen. Dort steht er in dem relativ luftleeren Raum und ist bereit für den Sprung. Aber da zwischen den beiden Planeten ein Luftschlauch existiert, ist es wohl nicht ZU dünn.
Kai: „We are at the optimum point, I will let you choose the planet, 790."
790: „Oh, short circuit. I will crash, I can not choose one planet over the other. I am not wired for it."
Kai: „Then I choose. - The desert planet."
790: „No, the water planet. the water planet."
Kai: „I accept your choice, 790."
Kai dreht sich um, in Richtung auf den Wasser-Planeten.
790: „You may be dead, but our love will always be alive."
Kai streckt die Arme nach oben und springt und zischt kopfüber mit einem ziemlichen Zahn in Richtung des Wasserplaneten.

Stan kann inzwischen kaum noch in die Pedalen treten! Schließlich wird er bewusstlos. Das Blei fällt, die Glocke klingelt. Stan schließt mit dem Leben ab.

3.01 - Fire and Water Analyse

Die Lexx hat früher aus eigenem Antrieb gegessen, nun nicht mehr! (Seit sie blau und ausgewachsen ist, je älter sie wird, umso weniger will die Lexx essen beziehungsweise leben? - am Ende von Staffel vier zehrt sie sich sogar selbst auf, der Hungertod. Jugend bedeutet 'Leben zu wollen', und das Alter bedeutet 'nicht mehr motiviert zu sein, zu leben'?
Die Reise zum nächsten bewohnten Planeten kann 400 bis 60.000 Jahre dauern (was genau bedeuten diese Zahlen bei Lexx immer?)
Als Stan sagte: „I guess, this is it!" - schaut Kai auf (hoffnungsvoll?) oder weiß er etwas mehr? Z.B. dass es ein Leben nach dem Tod gibt - und eben NICHT alles mit dem Tod vorbei ist?

Prince hat das 'Wasser des Lebens', die 'Quelle des Lebens'.
Xev hat neuerdings ein Bauchnabel-Tattoo, ziemlich genau im Bereich der Gebärmutter (= Fruchtbarkeit?) - in der Regel sind nur die Leute tätowiert, die in irgendeiner Weise mit dem Tod (Prince) zu tun haben. Sozusagen 'vom Tod gezeichnet'.
Xev + Stan begegnen dem Tod! Jeweils jeder auf seine Weise, alleine, jeder geht seinen eigenen Weg. Und Stan landet in der Hölle und leidet Folterqualen.
Prince behauptet, er wartet auf Xev schon seit Ewigkeiten (Xev bedeutet = Leben?)
Kai muss 790 erzählen, was seine Vergangenheit war. Nach dem 'Tod' hat diese keine Erinnerung und muss neugestartet und zurückgesetzt werden. Der Tod von 790 kam übrigens durch die Hand von Prince und seinen Handlangern. Und es stimmt, KURZ vor 790s Tod, sieht er 'Prince'.

Kai sieht die lebenden Mottenlarven in der Brutkammer an der Wand zappeln und winden, warum aktiviert er sie nicht? Oder die Mottenbrüter? Warum springt er stattdessen? Vielleicht dauert es zu lange, Motten zu brüten? Aber in einer anderen Folge dauert es nicht einmal einen Tag!
Kai hat nur sehr wenig Protoblut übrig in seinem Behälter! Als er sich aufgefüllt, scheint er sich besser zu fühlen. Ein gutes Gefühl beim Auffüllen? Sucht nach Protoblut?
Für die Zufallswahl zwischen den zwei Planeten scheint Kai nicht geeignet sein, er neigt den Kopf seitlich und hat Unbehagen?
Kai wählt den Höllenplaneten, weil er sich selbst in der Hölle fühlt? Er sagt allerdings, es wäre eine Zufallswahl. Oder denkt er daran, dass er auf Wasser nicht an der Oberfläche bleiben kann, weil er keinen 'Auftrieb' hat - also so schwer ist, dass er sinken MUSS?
Er breitet seine Arme aus, wie zu einer Kreuzigung oder Hinrichtung?
Er weiß nicht, ob er die nötigen Mittel zur Rückkehr findet. (Kai will keine Rückkehr?) - Allein deswegen wäre es doch sinniger gewesen, eine Motte brüten zu lassen!!! Auch, damit er Xev und Stan wieder zur Lexx zurückbringen kann!
Stan wird kurz vor dem Fallbeil-Tod herausgeholt....

3.02 - May

Der Helfer von Prince, der Stan rettet, ist gekleidet in Rot. Während die Helferlein, die ihn in das Gerät gespannt hatten, Fetzen und relativ schwarze Klamotten trugen. Rot ist die Farbe des Lebens und Schwarz ist = der Tod. Ein reines Weiß steht eben für Reinheit, und dann gibt es noch diesen leicht gräulichen Ton, fast schon bläulich, den Prince trägt und auch der Kai-Prince (Prince als Kai verkleidet), und die Uniformen von Duke sind auch in einem etwas dunkleren blaugrauen Ton. Das ist vielleicht der Ausdruck für die Ambivalenz von Tod und Leben.
Kai rauscht wie ein Meteorit auf den Planeten herunter, mit Rauchfahne hinter sich und allem drum und dran ('folget dem Stern'?).
Kai sieht nicht gut aus, als er landet. Er stöhnt und ist total verdreht und er steht nur langsam wieder auf (er ist hart an der Grenze seiner Belastbarkeit!).
Zunächst sieht es so aus, als ob er mit seinem Aufschlag die Stadt zerstört hätte. Die Feuer und die Toten? Seine Schuld?
Kai prüft, ob die Leute noch leben (dazu fasst er sie an). Dann geht er auf die Musik zu!
Kai: „You play beautifully!"
(Komisch, wie kann er das beurteilen - ohne Gefühle?)
May: „Music dulls the pain!"
DA kommt eine neue Funktion des Brunnen-G Liedes ins Spiel: es ist nicht nur Ausdruck von Todessehnsucht - oder eine Ahnung des Todes, es ist außerdem ein Ausdruck von: 'Ich leide und ich muss diese 'Schmerzen' 'betäuben'! - DESWEGEN singt Kai das Lied in der Folge 3.07 -Tunnels in Hooktown?

Prince gibt Stan das Wasser des Lebens, aber Stan will dieses nicht aus Princes Hand bekommen, es würde vielleicht heißen, den Tod zu akzeptieren oder ihm untertan zu sein. Stan akzeptiert es nur durch Xevs Hand: die Lebensspenderin!

May sagt, dass die Schlacht wohl einen Tag her ist - solange liegen die Leichen schon um sie herum!
Kai geht ein paar Schritte von May fort und schaut erst hoch und dann geradeaus: „I am Kai, Last of the Brunnen-G." (und dann schaut er nach unten - ist er traurig? May selbst ist auch die letzte Überlebende ihrer Stadt! - Die Parallelen sind offensichtlich - sie hat sogar ihr eigenes Lied!)
Kai: „I came from the sky. From the Lexx."
May: „The comet."
Kai: „The Lexx is a very large ... insect... (zögert, will er eher sagen: eine Story? Ein Universum?)... , not a comet.
May: „How did you come down here?"
Kai: „I jumped."
May nähert sich Kai, sie streift ihn an seiner Schulter, und stellt sich vor ihn.
Kai scheint irritiert - fühlt er etwas, weil May verletzt und dem Tod nahe ist? - Er wirkt so und dann die sanfte Berührung! Er streichelt die Schulter von May. Er zieht ihren Kleidträger herunter, das ist eine äußerst sanfte und erotische Geste.
Kai: „I came down here to find Xev, a beautiful love slave - dressed in a lizard skin."
Warum denn nur Xev, und nicht Stan? Weil Xev die Lebensspenderin ist? Oder die Mutigere von beiden, also es eher wert ist, gerettet zu werden? Während Stan uninteressant ist?
May: „If you jumped, how came, you were not killed?"
Kai: „I am dead."
May: „I don't understand."
Kai: „I appear to be alive, - but I am not living!"
Kai beobachtet genau, wie May auf seine 'Tot-sein'-Aussage reagiert.
Wieso hat er seine Hand an ihrer Schulter? Zunächst scheint es dafür keine Erklärung zu geben. Und wieso ist es May egal, dass er so herum fummelt? Sie ist auf den Weg in den Tod und deswegen Kais lange und intime Berührung!
Kai: „And the dead can not be killed!"
Er sagt nicht, er ist ein ECHTER Toter, er sagt lediglich, er wäre nicht lebendig! Er schaut dabei weg und neigt den Kopf seitlich! Das Wegschauen scheint mir immer ein Symptom für: nicht die 'volle' Wahrheit sagen, zu sein? Sich unbehaglich fühlen?

Prince: „This planet is called 'Fire'."
Stan: „Oh, that is original!"
Xev: „Show respect!"
Prince: „And I am its Prince!"
Stan: „Well, and I am a captain! - Who are they, pumping the paddles?"
Xev: „They are the enemies!"
(Ohne das Pumpen, das Leiden und den Tod gäbe es kein Leben auf den Planeten 'Fire' - oder sonst wo!)

Kai: „Will you help me to find Xev?"
Kai schaut auf Mays Schulter und Reaktion sehr analytisch! Und sieht den winzigen Kratzer an ihrer Schulter - nix dolles - blutet auch kaum!
Kai: „You are injured, May."
May nimmt Kais Hand, streicht über seine Wange.
May: „And you are cold."
Kai wendet sich von May ab und ihr den Rücken zu, als sie sagt.
May: „At least I am alive."
Dabei zwinkert Kai, die Bemerkung trifft ihn? (Der Schauspieler Michael McManus geht einen Schritt zu weit aus dem Bild heraus und dann wieder zurück, hat er die Marke verfehlt? Ein kleiner Fehltritt in der Aufnahme?)
May: „I will help you!"
Kai winkt einer sich nähernden Gondel: „I request your assistance. I must find Xev!"
Kai (zu May): „They have seen us and they are descending. - Where are these balloons from?"
May: „So I see. They are from 'Fire' and now, that you pointed us out to them, they are coming to kill us!"
Kai: „Where is 'Fire'? - I am already dead, and I will protected you."
Kai wird immer beschuldigt, den Feind herein gelassen zu haben! Andererseits sieht er sich auch als Beschützer - damals seines Volkes, nun des 'Lebens' an sich?
Kai ruft zu Gondel hoch: „I am Kai, Last of the Brunnen-G. And I request, that you assist me!" - Richtigen Befehlston hat er da drauf!
Da die dritte Staffel Kais Weg nach dem Tod aufzeigt, nach seiner Sklaverei und nach der Rückerlangung seiner eigenen Erinnerungen und eines Teils seines Willens, sieht sich Kai sowohl als Person als auch als Vertreter seines Volkes. Er ist wieder eine Art 'Einheit'.
Kai: „They are descending!"
May: „So I see. I hope, you have a plan, dead man!"
Kai hat einen verkniffenen Mund! Wiederholt sich hier sein Treffen mit Xev und der Lexx und Stan und den Rebellen etc.?
Kai zieht sich mit seiner Fletsche einfach an Bord.
Kai: „I came from the insect in the sky. I came searching for Xev. She is dressed in a lizard skin."
Mh, da kommt doch seine eigene alte Story hoch: der Anflug auf die Megaschatten, kurz vor Kais erstem Tod. Und die Suche nach Xev ist eine Art Suche nach ‚Erlösung', oder dem Symbol des Lebens? 
Insekt = der Tod = Schatten = Gott?
Warum wird immer wieder betont, dass Xev in einer Echsenhaut gekleidet ist? Warum ist es so wichtig? Es ist ein Teil ihrer 'Persönlichkeit' - aber warum sagt Kai das immer wieder?

Stan: „What is the deal?"
Prince: „As I said, I will be eternally grateful!" - NUN, das wäre ein sehr wertvolles Versprechen, wenn man hier schon wüsste, dass er der TOD persönlich ist! Zumal bei den Qualen, die Stan nach seinem Tod zu erwarten hat!
Aber Stan interessiert das reichlich wenig! Er von allen drei Freunden ist derjenige, der am wenigsten an 'Ewigkeit' glaubt oder längerfristig plant. Xev sieht sich als Kämpferin für das Leben der Leute auf Fire, sie sieht diese als ungerecht behandelt an.

Der Insasse: „Who are you, and what are you doing here?"
Kai: „As I said, I am searching for a woman named Xev. And I am requesting your assistance
Insasse 2: „You are from Girltown, right?"
Was soviel heißen soll wie: du bist einer dieser Schwulen, so wie du aussiehst!
Kai: „No, I am from Brunnes II, by the way of the Cluster."
(Kai schaut nach unten, es geht tief runter! Er wandert über das Schiff und hat eine Konfrontation bzw. langen Augenkontakt mit einem der Insassen, dieser stellt sich ihm in den Weg wie damals die Rebellen vor der Lexx?)
Insasse 3: „You are playing with me."
Kai: „Not yet, but I suspect, I will soon."
Das Spielen mit seinen Opfern! Ist Kai also doch wie Vlad und empfindet Vergnügen dabei? TOTE sollten eigentlich nicht 'spielen' - das ist etwas durch und durch Lebendiges!
Insasse (tätschelt die Wange von Kai): „You have nothing to tell me, - so die!" Dann wird Kai heruntergeworfen - tatsächlich wäre Kai eine unerschöpfliche Quelle des Wissens! Wenn nur jemand die richtigen Fragen stellen würde!
Kai an seiner Fletsche hängend zu May: „I will pick you up shortly."
Wie beim Jojo-Effekt: Kai schnellt wieder nach oben und klopft einem der drei Insassen auf die Schulter und stößt diesen ohne weiteren Kommentar herunter. Kai tritt den Nächsten über Bord, und den dritten packt er an der Kehle, Kai bricht dessen Hand und dreht diese auf dessen Rücken und entwaffnet den Kerl. Von hinten flüstert er seinem Opfer ins Ohr:
Kai: „I have no feelings against you, and clearly, you can't defeat me. I suggest, you assist me in my search to find Xev rather than continue being an optical."
Insasse: „You are my enemy and you may die!"
Kai wirft ihn runter, er wollte es so. Und dann zieht er May zu sich hoch. Mit seiner Fletsche.
Kai: „So, ...May..., do you have any idea, where Xev might be?"
Kai fummelt an den Kontrollen des Ballons herum und zögert bei der Erwähnung von Mays Namen.
Alle drei gehen ihrer eigenen Wege, jeder hat seinen eigenen Tod - Kai sucht Xev, da sie für den Weg die Dream Zone bereit ist? Könnte sie ihn dorthin führen? Oder ist es eher seine Aufgabe, sie auf den rechten Weg zu geleiten? Zumindest ein Stück, auch wenn er selbst den Rest des Weges nicht mehr gehen kann?
May: „No, I don't know, but I know where she is not."
Kai: „Where?"
Kai fummelt weiterhin an den technischen Kontrollen und May feuert mit Pfeil und Spannbogen ein paar Test-Schüsse in die Luft.
May: „She is not on 'Water'. I would have heard about someone like her!"

Xev befehlend zu Stan: „We do help him and that's it!"
Stan: „You don't know, what he is like! You got it all wrong!"
Xev: „I do know!"
Prince (lächelt): „It really is a matter of life and death!"
Und in diesem Moment schießt May durch einen der Schlitze einen Pfeil auf Prince und trifft sehr gut!

Kai: „Who is he?"
May: „I think, it was Prince himself, the ruler of 'Fire' - who destroyed my life!"
Nun sind die Parallelen zu Kais Schicksal mehr als eindeutig!
Kai: „A very lucky shot indeed!"
May: „He wouldn't have expected it from a balloon of his own!"
Es IST die Geschichte von Kai, der als EIGENTUM von Seinem Schatten, diesen in den Rücken fiel, das WAR unerwartet für den Schatten! Es ist auch die Geschichte der Lexx, Xev und der Zerstörung von der Schattenherrschaft. Xev zieht den Pfeil aus Prince raus, und verspricht, das 'Fire' nicht durch 'Water' zerstört wird!
Prince: „I wanted you to love me!"
Xev: „I do, I know, it makes no sense, but I do!"
Sie ist verliebt in den Tod!! - Und das Blut von Prince vergiftet das Wasser des Lebens im Bassin.
Xev: „Er ist tot." - Man kann auch sagen: er ist 'Tod'.
Und auch das ist ein Spiegel, denn Xev liebt auch Kai, und auch Kai ist tot.
Und Stan: „It wasn't us!"
Doch die Wachen sind bereits alarmiert! Und sie stürmen in Richtung des Turms. - Kai wird von einem Säbel durchbohrt, kaum dass er sich vom Himmel kommend vor Stan stellt, bevor dieser Schaden nehmen kann.
Stan: „You are short, Kai!"
Kai hält einen der Beans mit seinen Fletsche in Schach! Und zu Stan.
Kai: „You have little time!"
Stan: „Come on, Xev, you hear Kai, we have to go."
Xev kann den Tod = Prince nicht verlassen (in der Zeit kommt die Nachhut bzw. der Nachschub an Helferlein und Kai hält auch diese in Schach!)
Kai: „Stan is right, you are in great danger."
Stan: „Xev, he is dead! There is nothing you can do, and this is a terrible, terrible place, so let's go!"
In der Prince = der Tod = Kai ist, dann ist es zulässig, den Tod als ENDE zuzulassen? 'Ihn' loszulassen? 
Xev: „I don't care about danger!"
Stan: „But I do, even if it comes of danger to you, I do! So, PLEASE, Xev, let's go!"
Xev lässt sich starr und ohne eigenen Antrieb von Stan leiten. Ein Blick und zwischen Stan und May funkt es. - Kai wird von Pfeilen der Nachhut durchbohrt, aber er gibt nur leicht nach (nur ein leises Stöhnen entrinnt Kai.) - Und kommt dann wieder näher! Das hält die Angreifer erstaunt auf. 
Bean: „Are you human?"
Kai: „I was." 
Er hat ein bitteres Grinsen auf seinen Gesicht, dann zieht er die Pfeile nach und nach raus, kümmert sich nicht weiter um den Säbel in seinem Bauch und nur durch seine Erinnerung fühlt er sich als Beschützer der Menschen, auch wenn er selbst nicht mehr 'menschlich' ist. 
Kai ist auch hier wieder der Nachzügler hinter Xev und Stan und May.

Dann folgt eine religiöse Zeremonie, um den Tod (= Prince) wiederzubeleben.

Kai steuert nunmehr die Gondel in Richtung des Übergangs zwischen Feuer und Wasser. Auch May hat viele Tattoos, das bedeutet: vom Tod gezeichnet? In den weiteren ein bis zwei Folgen sind sämtliche Rollen vertauscht: Kai ist hier nun der Steuermann, Xev wirkt irgendwie tot also symbolisiert sie 'den Tod' ? Also Prince? Stan ist sehr verliebt in May und May selbst ist dem Tode näher als dem Leben, und sie gibt Stan ihr kostbares Lied. Sie braucht es nicht mehr! 
Kai ist also irgendwie wie die Lexx selbst - oder auch der Informationsspeicher wie 790.
May wiederum stellt Kai selbst dar!
Stan ist voller Liebe für die todgeweihte May: also ist Stan = Xev.
Xev ist die rächende Beobachterin, der 'Tod'.
Der 'Central Orbit' ist wie der Fraktale Sog, er trennt einen hellen und schönen Planeten von einem dunklen. Light Zone und Dark Zone.
Kai ist die Verbindung zu dem Insekt (in diesem Fall die Lexx)? Seine Fletsche kann die Gondel mit der Lexx verbinden. Seine Fletsche muss enorm stark und belastungsfähig sein, mindestens mehrere Tonnen!
Kai: „You must remain strapped in!"
Kai steht 'außerhalb' dieser sterblichen Sorgen. ER ist die Verbindung, er braucht nicht angeschnallt zu sein, er ist 'außerhalb' der 'Fesseln' und Beschränkungen des Lebens?!
Die ersten zwei Staffeln scheinen eine Art Verehrung des Lebens / der Lebensquelle und der Lebensspenderin zu sein. Was man allein an 790 erkennen kann: er liebt Xev BIS zur dritten Staffel - und von da an liebt er den 'Tod'!
Die letzten beiden Staffeln sind eine Verehrung des Todes - des Lebens nach dem Tod! Und dem Entrinnen desselbigen!
Kai erklärt 790s seltsames Verhalten gegenüber Xev: „790 felt off the bridge. I reassembled him. I was the first he set eyes on, after he was reset!"
Oder steht 790 für Xevs Liebe zu Kai? Sie war zunächst Todessüchtig - Todessuchend - und hat erst durch ihn Lebensfreude und richtiges 'Leben' kennen gelernt. Kai war für Xev das erste und einzige selbstlose Vorbild!
Xev - also das Leben an sich - wird von 790 beleidigt. Also nimmt Kai den Kopf unter seinen Fittich! Zur Beruhigung oder um Xev zu schützen?
Xev: „It is not my day with man, I guess."
May will Stan überreden, ihr zu helfen, das BÖSE zu zerstören, also den Planeten 'Fire'. Aber Xev sah etwas in Prince, das NICHT evil war. Etwas, das Stan nicht sehen konnte ... der Tod IST nicht nur böse - er ist auch notwendig!!!
Stan: „Du bist eine Liebessklavin, du KONNTEST gar nicht anders, als ihn zu lieben! Er wollte nur in dein Höschen!"
Xev: „It is not that simple! - Prince war ein grosser Held und May tötete ihn!"
Stan: „Kai, what do you think?"
Kai: „About what?" - Ganz offensichtlich ist das NICHT Kais Debatte und Kai ist zwar nachdenklich, aber über etwas anderes! Wo war er mit seinen Gedanken? Kai ist mittlerweile JENSEITS von Gut und Böse?
Stan: „About shall I destroy the planet?"
Kai: „Why do you want to destroy it?"
Stan: „Because it is an evil place!"
Kai sagt nix, über 'gut' und 'böse', das ist vielleicht alles relativ oder nicht so einfach zu beurteilen, Xev ist andere Meinung: 1 : 1 - und Kai geht einfach weg. Das ist nicht SEINE Debatte - das überlässt er lieber den Lebenden - über das LEBEN zu entscheiden.
Xev: „Blowing up a planet with people on it is not exactly like blowing up a moon or asteroid!"
Kai schaut nach unten und stimmt wohl irgendwo 'zu'?
Xev: „And besides that, we KNOW, she is murderer!"
KLAR. aber Kai ja auch - und trotzdem liebt Xev Kai - und Stan eben May!
(May = Kai)   &  (Prince = Sein Schatten) ?
May: „He killed everyone I ever knew and took my whole world away from me! - It is simple: Fire is bad, Water is good. Und das 'Böse' zu zerstören ist 'gut'."
Das ist natürlich Kais Geschichte, May leidet unter ihrer kleinen Wunde, kaum sichtbar - und so ist es auch mit Kai, seine Wunde ist AUCH kaum sichtbar! Eigentlich zunächst GAR nicht. Und doch ist sie da - und wenn MAY leidet, dann muss das auch Kai! Wenn auch nicht so 'sichtbar' - weil das eben nicht mit KÖRPERLICHEN Schmerzen für Kai verbunden ist!
Arbeitet Lexx Waffe überhaupt noch?
Stan: „How long where we frozen?"
Kai: „Answer, 790!" - Mh, warum sagt es nicht KAI selbst?
790: „4332 Standardjahre!"
Die Lexx ist sehr hungrig und kann sich nicht mehr bewegen (die Motivation fehlt! - Die 'Energie'. ABER die Lexx kann noch 'kämpfen' / ihre Waffe abfeuern - auch DAS stimmt mit Kai überein: Er ist hungrig nach Protoblut ODER dem richtigen Tod. Ansonsten hat er keine 'Energie' - außer die, zu kämpfen, wenn es einer befiehlt und er selbst eine Art 'Sinn' darin sieht!
Kai: „Lexx's main drive still does not work!" (Seine Lebensessenz = sein Hauptantrieb!, aber wenn man in auf ein Ziel richtet, kann er / es schießen!!! ) Diese Fakten über Lexx erzählt er mit einem recht bewegten Gesicht: also IST es auch sein eigenes Problem! Und das erkennt er. Immer, wenn Aussagen in der Serie NICHT nur die Person in der Folge betreffen, sondern eine Aussage über Kai selbst ist, dann wird er emotional! Wie auch bei diesen Sätzen:
Kai: „As the Lexx can not repel himself, he can not control where he is pointing at. And as he can not destroy anything he is not directly pointing at, there is no need for you to decide whether or not to destroy the planet 'Fire'! At least, not for the time being!"
Ja, das IST Kais Geschichte ab der Folge1.2.
Noch 29 Stunden bis zur Entscheidung: meint: 2 x 90 min ??? 
Stan will May retten! Sie hat Schmerzen! Sie 'braucht' etwas --- ALLES wiederholt sich!
Die Cryokontrollen sind kaputt / das hat Prince zu verantworten, der plötzlich wieder in voller Frische auf der Lexx aufgetaucht ist - und diesmal sogar OHNE Ballons! - Nun, der Proteinregenerator ist also die einzige Hoffnung - die Wunde von May ist zwar lächerlich klein, aber sie BRAUCHT den Proteinregenerator, um sie zu flicken. Nur: die WUNDE ist gar nicht das eigentliche Problem, so wie Kais Problem nicht primär der Nachschub an Protoblut ist!
Kai: „We need moths. Two for now, more later!"
Ein Symbol für die Lexx-TV-Serie und ihre vielen kleinen Episoden? Wer weiß?
Kai: „They are moth-breeders, they grow new moths and install the biomechanics" ... (Parallele zu Drehbuchautoren?)
Xev: „They are human beings!"
Kai: „They were, like you, prisoners on the Cluster. They were sentenced to be physically altered to perform the task of moths-breeding." 
Xev: „They were always here? All alone? Why didn't you tell?"
Kai: „You didn't ask, and the moth-breeders are not useful for anything else! Most parts of their brain was removed and also all physical parts not related to their job."
Xev: „ALL physical parts?" - Ja, Xev, auch der Teil, und deswegen trifft das auch auf Kai zu, denn einen Assassin kann so ein Teil auch bei seinen 'Aufgaben' behindern, bzw. ist nicht notwendig!
Kai: „Yes." - AUCH das ist wieder voll und ganz Kais eigene Geschichte / Schicksal! Dementsprechend bewegt ist sein Gesicht - das sieht Xev nicht, denn er steht mit dem Rücken zu ihr!
Kai: „I will lead them away to bring food to the Lexx. WE must feed the Lexx!" 
Als die beiden die Mottenbrüter bei der Arbeit beobachten, kommt Stan hinzu: „You got to help me, more than I ever meant it before. PLEASE!"
Er zieht Kai am Arm hinter sich her, und Xev folgt.

Xev hängt schnüffelnd über May, um sie zu 'analysieren'.
Stan für sich alleine hat den Proteinregenerator NICHT anschmeißen können, im Gegenteil all seine Bausteine flogen im hohen Bogen davon! Das Teil ist kaputt!
Stan: „Keiner stirbt an Infektionen, wir kriegen das hin!"
Kai: „Ja, wenn der Proteinregenerator läuft!"
790 aber kann den nicht reparieren, weil ihm etwas Entscheidendes: Hände, also ist Kai das ausführende Werkzeug [Kai = Werkzeug] - (wie schon zu Schattenzeiten) der Anweisungen von 790. Hier wird wieder deutlich wie ANGEWIESEN alle Anwesenden, und speziell die Freunde aufeinander sind. Sie ergänzen sich wunderbar - aber einer für sich alleine ist recht hilflos!
Kai: „If 790 instructs me, but there are several small parts. And it will take time!"
May hat keine Zeit mehr, so wenig wie Kai ohne Proto-Blut (da wir gerade immer noch einen Teil der ersten Staffel von Lexx 'nachspielen', ist das Proto-Blut bzw. der Proteinregenerator ein Kernstück zur 'Rettung'!
Xev meint, dass May es verdient zu sterben, wegen Princes Tod. Aber das ist XEVS Meinung, eine Gefühlssache, wie sie betont!
Also verdient es auch Kai, zu sterben ? Xev übernimmt hier in diesen Folgen ein bisschen die Rolle von Stan in den ersten paar EPs - wo er auch immer wieder gesagt hat, dass Kai es verdient, zu sterben!
Als Xev dann heraus rauscht, sucht Stan weiter hektisch nach den fehlenden Teilen der Maschine ... gemeinsam mit Kai.
Stan: „Wir kriegen das auch ohne Xev hin!"
Kai neigt den Kopf seitlich, nein, er ist NICHT derselben Meinung, aber er sagt nichts! Und es stimmt ja auch - OHNE Xev können sie May nicht retten, wie sich schnell herausstellen soll! 
May: „It's okay, everyone I knew is dead! I don't have anything to live for!"
Stan: „Yes, you have!"
May: „I am glad, I killed Prince. I shot him! - I know, I would have liked you, Stanley."
Würde auch Kai Xev gemacht haben - wenn er lebendig gewesen und hätte LEBEN dürfen?
Da Kai aber nicht fühlen kann, zumindest nicht so richtig, kann er sich auch nicht so zu Xev hingezogen fühlen, dass das ein Grund für ihn wäre, weiter zu kämpfen - um das Leben zu erlangen! [Am Schluss, als Kai tatsächlich lebendig wird, sagt er ihr, dass er versuchen will, zu ihr zurückzukehren und dem Tod zu entgehen. Aber es gelingt nicht! - Er würde sie gemocht haben!]
Xev inzwischen fängt an, über ihre Entscheidung nachzudenken. Sie sieht Mays Flöte auf der Brücke. Und sie bekommt Zweifel.
May: „I don't think, I can hold out much longer!" (Wenn May tatsächlich 'Kais Stimme' ist, sozusagen, dann heißt das, dass Kai unter seinen Jetzt-Zustand am Rande des Todes wirklich UNHEIMLICH stark leidet! - Zumindest schaut Kai im Hintergrund ziemlich interessiert auf, als May das sagt ...)
Stan: „Yes, you can! It is just an infection! You gonna get better! You have to fight it!"
Da Kai von sich aus eine Kämpfernatur ist und auch seine Wurzeln entsprechend sind, greift so ein Satz ihn an seiner Kernehre sozusagen. Ein Brunnen-G gibt NIEMALS auf! Und kämpft bis zum Schluss - auch gegen unabwendbares Schicksal!
May: „I promise!"
Kai bricht NIE sein Wort!
Welche Teile der Maschine fehlen denn noch? Es sind keine mehr zu sehen: der Kocher (=Leidenschaft), er ist grün mit gelben Streifen! Ohne das geht das Gerät nicht! Es erinnert mich an ein Teil, das Kai zur Reparatur von 790 in den Roboterkopf eingesetzt hat - gleich nach der Gehirnmasse im kleinen Würfel - anders ausgedrückt: auch bei 790 war es DAS Kernstück: bei einem Menschen wäre das dann wohl die Seele!
Bei 790 hatte es eine blaue Farbe mit einem Streifen ROT, glaub ich!
Stan: „Ich seh es hier nicht, also kann es vorher auch nicht DA gewesen sein!" Naja, eine Seele sieht man auch nicht!
Xev = Lebensspenderin findet weit weg von der kaputten Maschine das fehlende und so wichtige Teil! Doch als dann alles zusammengesteckt wird, der Kocher an das ENDE der Maschine kommt, funktioniert diese trotzdem IMMER noch nicht! - Alles, was 790 nun als Erklärung von sich gibt, hat eine direkte Bedeutung zu Kai!!!!
Stan: „It will be fixed in no time, you will be better than new! Okay?"
May nickt.
790: „Das Ding hat für Tausende von Jahren nicht richtig funktioniert. Wir müssen es wieder auseinander pflücken, reparieren und alles von vorne beginnen."
Stan rüttelt verzweifelt an dem Gerät: „Läuft es nun?"
790: „Nein!" - Auch vielfaches Schütteln ändert nichts an der Tatsache! Und May stirbt.
Stan: „What can we do?"
790: „Whatever you want, it doesn't matter! We lost her!"
Anders ausgedrückt, selbst wenn man Kai seine Seele wieder 'reinsteckt' - das heißt noch lange nicht, dass er als ganze 'Einheit' wieder funktionieren würde. Der tote Kai will den Tod, der wieder neu lebende will das vielleicht auch - einfach, weil er schon zu 'kaputt' ist - es funktioniert nicht mehr, ihn wieder richtig lebendig zu machen, mit aller Leidenschaft und allen Gefühlen !
Kai untersucht May, wieder dieses schnüffelnde ganz nahe Herüberbeugen über den Körper. „Dead" - Dann entfernt er die Stecker der Proteinmaschine von Mays Körper.
Stan: „No, you can't know that!"
Kai: „I am good at determine the state of death. It was a required function for an assassin of the Divine Order!"
Als Kai die Stecker wieder weglegt, 'umarmt' er Stan kurz. Naja, es sieht nicht wirklich danach aus, aber ist wohl das, was von Kai an 'Trostgeben' am nächsten kommt.
Stan schickt auch Xev fort, er will mit Mays Leiche alleine sein, legt sich sogar zu ihr in den Sarg der Kühleinheit!
Kai und Xev gehen dann in die Mottenkammer, um die Brüter bei ihrer Arbeit zu überwachen! Und Kai TRÖSTET Xev!
Kai: „Stan's reaction should not be unexpected. Both of you had limited contact to real human beings for a long time! I believe you are emotionally vulnerable."
(Wow, Kai der Psychologe! Ist er so 'bewegt', weil Prince an Bord ist?)
Xev: „I know, I am. And ich hatte niemals viel Kontakt mit Menschen, Lebenden, meine ich."
Stan wird von Prince versucht! May soll wieder leben, WENN Stan dafür den Planeten 'Water' mit all seinen Seelen zerstört!
Prince: „Sie kann wieder leben, wenn DU es willst. Und dann wird sie DIR alleine gehören, Stan!"
Stan, der nie eine wirkliche Liebe zu einer Frau hatte, weiß nicht, wie es ist, eine Frau ganz für sich zu haben - ABER er würde sich das so sehnlichst wünschen: endlich geliebt zu werden! Dafür würde er alles tun! - Selbstsüchtiger, egoistischer Stan!
Als May wieder lebendig ist, küsst sie Stan lang und ausgiebig: DAS ist das Ende der Staffel 1, Folge 1.4!!!
Die erweckte May ist dadurch allerdings zu Princes Geschöpf geworden - und damit BÖSE. WENN Kai sich also auf einen Deal mit Prince einlässt, dann macht auch ihn das zu Princes Geschöpf - und damit böse? Einen SOLCHEN Kai will Xev bestimmt nicht haben!
Nun, Kai WAR nach der Folge 1.4 von der Schattenessenz bestimmt! Und damit ein böses Geschöpf, wenn auch um vieles 'lebendiger' als OHNE Essenz!
Allerdings zertritt die 'neue' May ihre Flöte, und damit ihre Vergangenheit, sie bricht mit ihren Wurzeln! KAI tut das mit dem Andenken an seine Vorfahren und sein Volk nicht! Kai singt weiter sein Lied und ist sich treu!

3.03 - Gametown

Zurück in der Cryo Kammer, bei Mays Pod.
790: „I was sure, she was dead!"
Kai: „As was I. It is a miraculous recovery!"
Stan: „Well, you were wrong!" - (Manchmal passiert das auch Kai, aber es ist doch sehr selten!)
Xev: „I thought telling if someone is dead or alive is a special talent of an assassin of the divine Order?"
Kai: „Killing people was my special talent, but ... that is correct."
Mh, wie kann man denn da von einem Talent / Begabung sprechen, wenn Kai diese Fähigkeit EINPFLANZT bekommen hat?
Kai beugt sich wieder untersuchend über May.
Kai: „I am normally very good at determine the living or non-living state of a human being! - How is it, May, that you appeared to be 'dead'?"
Als eine Art 'Antithese' zu Kai, der ja 'lebendig' zu sein scheint, es aber nicht ist!
May: „I don't know, maybe I was dead and somehow came back to life again. - I don't remember."
Kai und Mays Haare sehen auch ähnlich aus, die hochgesteckten Sachen, die kleinen Zöpfchen und Strähnen - nur dass May blond und Kai schwarz ist --- nun scheint es also, als ob die beiden die zwei Seiten EINER Medaille wären!

Kai macht sich für den Aufbruch zum Planeten bereit, um mit dem Motten Futter zu holen.
790: „I die, if you leave me!"
Kai: „Then we WILL have something in common, - and I WILL return, 790!"
Stan: „Wie viele brauchen wir?"
Xev: „Und wer soll die alle fliegen?"
Kai: „Das können wir den Mottenbrütern überlassen. Das ist eine einfache Aufgabe, sie tun, was ich ihnen sage... es bedarf vieler Trips, die Lexx hat einen großen Appetit." (Man muss also VIELE Folgen drehen! - Die Lexx ist eine MÄCHTIGE Geschichte!)
Xev: „Stan, was ist passiert? Du warst die ganze Zeit da! Sie war tot und wachte einfach auf?"
Stan: „Wir dachten nur, sie wäre tot." --- Trifft das auch auf Kai zu? IST er gar nicht so tot wie er immer angibt?
Stan: „Ich lag dort neben ihr, träumte, und dann ging es ihr besser!"
Mh, die Traum Zone? Macht der Träume?
Xev: „It makes no sense!"
Stan: „Sometimes things just don't make sense."
Kai hört im Hintergrund sehr genau zu, macht sich tiefe Gedanken - das sieht man!
Xev: „Was denkst du, Kai?"
Kai: „It makes no sense!"
Stan: „Ich träumte von Prince, aber es war nur ein Traum, das ist alles nicht real, ich muss das nicht beachten, es gibt keinen Deal!"
Der Befehlsstand ist nun fast schwarz! Die Lexx umkreist erst 'Fire' und dann 'Water'. Eine Achterbahn sozusagen.
Lexx: „Ich kann jeden Planeten zerstören, auf den ich gerichtet bin." Der Wasserplanet hat noch 6 1/2 Stunden!
Stan (obwohl er weiß, dass er das falsche tut!): „I make sure, you will be alright, May."
May: „I am alright, because I am with you!"
Was für ein Geschnulze, und so was gibt auch immer nur ein falscher Kai von sich, WENN er denn mal in einigen Folgen wieder 'lebendig' scheint!
Kai beobachtet die letzten Arbeiten an den neuen Motten, als Stan dazu kommt.
Stan: „Can I ask you a question? It is a rather theoretic one."
Kai nickt.
Stan: „Wenn jemand sehr für einen anderen cared, and he is in trouble, bad one, in danger to get killed, stop him from being killed, is it right to kill other people for him?"
Kai: „How many others would have to be killed!"
Stan: „A small amount, - mh, a rather large one."
Kai: „This doesn't sound balanced."
Stan: „Ja, aber wenn die Person so besonders ist, wie viel ist eine Person wert, die du kennst zu den Millionen, die du nicht kennst? 1 : 1 Mill.?"
Kai: „She must be very special to you."
Stan: „Who?"
Kai: „May."
Stan: „Ach, look, das war eine theoretische Frage! Ich hatte einen schlechten Traum, und der belastet mich."
Kai beobachtet Stans Alibi-Reaktionen sehr genau. Man kann so einem analytischen Verstand nicht viel vormachen!
Stan: „Wann sind die Motten fertig?"
Kai: „Now."
Stan fragt, ob Kai die Dinger nimmt, Essen fasst und dann auch wirklich schnell wieder da sein wird, Stan: „Du bist nicht lange weg, richtig?"
Kai: „It will take many trips. - Yes."
Stan hält Xev mit einer fadenscheinigen Ausrede auf der Lexx fest (er braucht ihre Hilfe bei May). Normalerweise ist Xev praktisch immer in Kais Nähe, wenn er aus dem Kälteschlaf ist! Und deswegen hat Xev auch ein schlechtes Gewissen, Kai alleine gehen zu lassen, aber diese startet mit seiner (neue) Armada aus Motten und Brütern! Erinnert mich an die kleine Flotte, die er auf 'Seine Schatten' Armee geführt hat. Nur folgen ihm diesmal nicht 5 weitere Maschinen, sondern insgesamt sind sie zu 8.
Kai: „Follow me, land where I land!"
790: „I miss him already! - I should have go with him."
Xev: „No, you wouldn't!"
790: „Why not!"
Xev: „Because he wouldn't have taken you. But I should have gone with him!"
790: „I don't think so. He likes to be alone."
Mh, warum Alleinsein? Allein seine Bürde tragen? Alleine Gefahren auf sich nehmen? Der Tod ist IMMER einsam! Oder liegt es einfach daran, dass Kai nun einmal NICHT in die Welt der Lebenden gehört und immer, wenn er mit den anderen zusammen ist, spürt er / weiß er allzu deutlich, dass er eben NICHT dazu gehört?
790 behauptet in seinem Inneren wäre er eine Frau, denn nur eine Frau kann so leidenschaftlich empfinden!
Stan: „Nein, auf der Lexx ist es sicher. Es ist okay, Kai zuerst die Situation auschecken zu lassen. Ich sorge mich um May und dich, Xev!"
Stan: „Kai, du bleibst nicht lange, oder?"
Kai: „Ich weiß nicht, welche Art von Essen hier verfügbar ist. Oder wie schwierig zu erlangen."
Xev: „Ich hätte mit ihm gehen sollen! - May soll mit uns kommen, wenn die Lexx gegessen hat?"
Stan: „Jeder, den sie kannte, ist tot!"
Xev: „Vielleicht will sie auf ihrem Heimatplaneten bleiben?"
Stan: „Denke ich nicht."
790: „Ich schon!"
Xev: „Wie weißt du, dass sie nicht bleiben will?"
Stan: „Sie hat keinen Grund zu bleiben. Ich weiß es nicht, aber ich DENKE es!"
Xev hat Kai lange überreden müssen, NICHT auf dem Heimatplaneten seiner Rasse zu bleiben (Brunnis) - um dort in der Supernova zu verglühen! Er wollte mit seinen Wurzeln vereint sein. Als er die Wahl hatte zwischen dem langsamen Versiegen seines Protobluts und einem 'gleißenden' Tod mit einer Art 'Sinn' - da zog er es vor, mit dem Planeten seiner Vorfahren, mit seiner Historie endlich 'vereint' zu sein! Nur Xev konnte ihn von dem Gegenteil überzeugen - indem sie ihn an seiner kämpferischen Ehre packte! Und ihr Wille war einfach stärker!

Fify fällt im Team der 'Handball-Spieler' auf dem Planeten 'Water' in der Stadt Gametown ziemlich aus der Reihe. Er missed, fouled, er lügt ... er 'passt' einfach nicht. Beim 2. Anlauf klappt es?
Buck: „Nicht schießen, he is waving us!"

Stan: „How long, Lexx?"
Lexx: „49 min!" - kommt hin, denn der Rest der Folge müßte ungefähr noch so lange gehen!

Kai lächelt nach der Landung: „Greetings, I am Kai!"
Und wieder sagt er NICHT seine Herkunft - das hat er bei dem Zusammentreffen mit den Leuten von ‚Fire' aber noch getan! - Die Eingeborenen erwarten ihn mit einem herzlichen Willkommen!
Fify: „Nice to meet you, guy. I am Fify. Welcome to Gametown."
Kai (nickt): „It looks like a nice place!"
Fify: „Nice." -- Alle hinter ihm lächeln und nicken.
Kai: „You look familiar! You reassemble a guy, who lived 4000 years ago!" (Kai meint den Aufpasser im Loveliner-Bordell.)
Fify: „Must have been a good looking guy."
Kai: „What do you do here?"
Fify: „Spiele spielen, die meiste Zeit. Einfach eine gute Zeit haben, - stimmt es nicht, Leute?"
Alle lachen und johlen zustimmend.
Kai: „Do you have food?"
Fify: „Plenty!"
Kai: „Good, I would like to obtain some. For our ship."
Fify: „No problem, whatever. So what do you guy do?"
Kai: „I was an assassin, I killed people. Aber ich habe nicht die Absicht, dich zu töten - (ein tiefer Blick in Fifies Augen) - noch nicht!"
Fify wird deutlich unbehaglich. Zu seiner jetzigen Funktion sagt Kai aber nix: auch mal Leben zu retten???? Außer auf den Tod zu warten? Und Stan und Xev zu beschützen...?

Stan bei May in der Kältekammer, umsorgt ihre Wunde.
Stan: „Ich gebe zu, ich hatte immer Probleme mit Mädchen, aber nur, weil ich im ganzen Leben nicht eine SPEZIELLE getroffen habe!"
 - (Und was ist mit Lyekka? Hat er die etwa schon vergessen?) 
Stan: „The 'one'? You know, what I mean? Ich wollte sie immer nur ins Bett kriegen. Das haben sie schnell spitz gekriegt, und das machte es natürlich immer schwer, sie ins Bett zu kriegen! - Dir das zu sagen ist sicher eine schlechte Strategie - (Seelenstriptease) - aber DU bist die EINE, - für mich."
May: „It is the right thing to say!"
Stan: „I am really glad about that. Ich wollte, dass du das hörst, bevor ich tue, was ich tun muss!"
May: „Bevor was?"

Fify schaut sich die Obst schleppenden Brüter an.
Fify: „Who are those guys? Sie scheinen nicht besonders schlau zu sein?"
Kai: „Mottenbrüter, only able to perform limited tasks related to the moths."
Fify: „Who tells them, what to do?"
Kai: „I do."
Fify: „Und was, wenn du nicht da bist?"
Kai: They respond to everyone nearby to give them instructions. They have no capacity of self-direction!"
Bunny lutscht an einer Karotte, sie lässt Kai nicht aus den Augen - UND das ist auch noch ein Vorgeschmack auf die Folge in der 4. Staffel: 'Bad Carrots'!
Buck: „Nimm soviel Nahrung wie du brauchst, es ist gut, Leuten was zu geben, was sie dringender brauchen als wir."
Kai: „That is very generous of you. Our ship has a very large appetite."
Kai zur Funktionsweise der Motten: „They are easy to fly, they are living organisms and basically fly themselves. You guide them with your hands. This joystick is used by the pilot."
Fify: „You touch that thing?"
Kai: „Yes."
Fify: „Mh, I think, I can do that, if I have to!"

Fify bildet mit Kai und sämtlichen Frauen ein Team gegen die Loser-Männer!
Kai: „If you request."
Fify: „Just do, what I say. Ich bin hier sowieso der Einzige, der hier DENKEN kann."
Kai lässt in einem unbeobachteten Moment den Ball auf seinen Finger tanzen. - Ein Ausdruck seiner Überlegenheit? Oder ist das nicht auch ein Ausdruck seiner 'Verspieltheit'?
Kai der geborene Spieler, deswegen auch seine Einwilligung in das Schach-Spiel gegen Prince? Und überhaupt IST er ja auch nur einer der Spieler im GROSSEN Spiel. Nicht, dass er das unbedingt MAG.

Auf der Lexx ist der Planet 'Water' nun in der Schusslinie - aber Xev stellt sich Stan in den Weg, auch ohne dass sie genau weiß, was eigentlich los ist! Sie hat ihren Arm um seine Kehle.
Xev: „Ich quetsche dir das Leben aus, wenn du es mir nicht erzählst!"
Stan kann den Befehl nur murmeln, aber im Lexx-Universum können selbst Maschinen SEHR gut verstehen, wenn einer auch nur murmeln kann! Und so feuert die Lexx!
Und den rasenden Feuerstrahl sehen auch die Spieler in Gametown.
Fify: „What is that?"
Kai: „The end of all your problems! - Almost."
Heißt das, Kai hat keine eigenen Probleme, bzw. die können so einfach nicht gelöst werden?

Die Lexx trifft nicht!
Xev: „Why 'Water'? Kai is down there!"
Stan: „He is already dead, he is impossible to kill! He would have been alright!"
Xev: „The Lexx's weapon might have destroyed him!"
Stan: „Kai is dead. He doesn't care, what happens to him!"
Xev: „Was redest du da? Was ist dir passiert? Was geht hier vor?"
Dann erzählt er ihr von dem Deal mit Prince und dass seine May jetzt sowieso richtig tot ist! 
Aber 790 stellt fest: „May ist am Rande des Todes, wir können ihr nicht helfen, - sie mag gesunden oder sterben!"
(Kais Zustand (im Zwischenstadium) - mh, wird hier als eine Art Krankheit dargestellt !!!)
Xev: „Stan, please, don't have any more dreams now!"

Im Spiel selbst ist Kai passiv, beobachtet nur, nimmt nicht teil - erst als es ihm befohlen wird, einzugreifen, tut er es - DAS ist natürlich sein ganzes Schicksal! Er beobachtet immer nur die 'Lebenden' - aber als Toter ist er nicht mehr Teil davon UND aufgrund seiner außenstehenden Position kann er sehr genau erkennen, dass das ganze Leben nur ein Spiel auf einer höheren Ebene ist - es gibt kein 'Ergebnis', das bleibt. Alles wiederholt sich, alles ist ein ewig gleicher Ablauf. Aber WENN er sich entscheidet, einzugreifen, DANN kann er das Blatt deutlich wenden - deutlicher punkten als die meisten Lebenden!
Fify: „Das Spiel macht keinen Spaß, wenn wir es nicht alle spielen!"
Fify ist streitsüchtig und gewalttätig. Er stößt z.B. Bunny zu Boden, ... ganz der Alte: stiftet Unruhe!
Fify: „Maybe you could put a little more life into your game?"
Kai: „As I am dead, I can not put life into the game!"
Kai ist halt NICHT die Lebensspenderin! Höchstens der Todbringer!
Fify: „You tell me!"
Fify droht wegzugehen, aber Kai setzt nach und FORDERT Fify dazu auf, ihm 'Anweisungen' zu geben!
Kai: „What would you like me to do?"
Fify: „Do me a favour, score some pulls, help us out. I play to win!"
Daumen hoch ... bei Kai wirkt die Geste sehr ungelenk!
Und Kai benutzt seine Fletsche OHNE sich auch nur einen Zentimeter von der Stelle zu bewegen! Er holt den Ball zu sich und dann zertrümmert er mit der Gewalt seiner Würfe das Netz ... nun, er kann wohl in gewisser Weise nur 'zerstören'!
Und er selbst BEWEGT sich ja auch praktisch nicht: Bewegung = Fortschritt? Bewegung ungleich TOD?

Xev wird von Prince besucht!
Xev: „Is that a dream?"
Prince: „What is a dream, what is reality?"
Prince HAT May ins Leben zurückgebracht, auf die Frage des 'Wie' antwortet er ihr natürlich nicht. Eigentlich weiß er es selbst nicht so genau, weil er von sich selbst nur wenig weiß!
Xev does still care about him!
Prince: „You shouldn't! - Lass Stan das tun, was er tun muss!"
Dann der Todeskuss mit Xev - und dann ist er verschwunden! Und Prince weckt Stan aus SEINEM Traum.
Stan: „When I do it? ... will May live?"
Prince: „She will be yours for the rest of your life!"
(Nun, DAS kann ziemlich kurz sein! Und danach?)

Bunny springt auf Kai an! Er bleibt ungerührt stehen, SIE klammert an ihm, aber er unterstützt das nicht, hält sie NICHT fest! Und Kai wird von allen Seiten gelobt: „Great game, man!"
Kai hat noch nicht genug Futter für die Lexx (das Schiff UND die Story - für Bunny ist das alles viel zu 'schwere' Kost!) - es wird noch viele Trips brauchen.
(Bunny = Liebesgöttin (?), oder naive Liebe? - Aber auch sie kann Kai NICHT zum Leben verführen!)
Bunny: „Could you please?" (Kai gibt ihr die Seife zurück, die sich absichtlich fallen ließ, ihren nackten Körper widmet er keinen echten Blick.)
Xev: „Are you still there, Kai?"
Kai: „Yes!"
Bunny: „Do my back!"
Kai ist da sehr gewissenhaft, - aber nicht gerade sanft!
Kai: „I believe, you are clean now!"
(Hat das etwas damit zu tun, dass Kai Laleen (Bunny in ihrem LEBEN) damals von hinten und in der Dusche erledigt / erdrosselt hat? - hat er sich oder SIE von der Tat rein gewaschen?)
Bunny: „Oh no, I am not!" - und legt Kais Hand auf ihre Brust.
Kai: „You seam to not fully understand: my body is not alive!"
Bunny fragt ihn, wie sich das anfühlt. „Hot", sagt Kai - NUN soviel dazu, dass er total nicht in der Lage ist IRGEND ETWAS zu fühlen! Selbst, wenn Kai hier nur die 'Temperatur' meint - im wörtlichen Sinne! Und warum wippt er so hin und her dabei?
Bunny: „I want you to put out my fire, Kai!"
MH, das kann man allerdings auch als 'töten' interpretieren, die Lebensflamme ausblasen!
Xev: „What are you doing there, Kai?"
Kai: „I am assisting someone taking a shower!"
(dabei führt Bunny seine Hand an ihre 'sensibelste' Stelle. - Bunny ist entzückt, aber ohne ihre 'Führung', passiert da gar nix!)
Kai: „A naked young woman! - What emergency?"
790: „There is a despaired robot head in love, that needs a loo job."
Tja, aber ihren Namen will Kai bis dahin gar nicht wissen - das kommt erst, als Xev danach fragt!
Xev: „The Lexx is very hungry, and so do we!"
Kai: „I do not get distracted!"
Kai macht sich wieder auf den Weg - aber dann fällt ihm ein, dass er was vergessen hat !! Die Seife, das Werkzeug - und gibt sie ihr zurück. NUN, das zeigt dann wohl, dass er DOCH ein BISSCHEN abgelenkt wurde, oder?
Bunny: „You missed a spot!"

Xev auf der Lexx: „You don't seam to be very interested in what was going on down there!"
Stan: „I am just very hungry!"

Buck: „Darf ich dir eine Frage stellen?"
Kai: „Go ahead."
Buck: „Ich fühl mich dabei nicht gut!"
Kai: „Why?"
Buck: „Möchte nicht hinter dem Rücken über einen anderen  tratschen!"
Kai (nickt sehr verstehend): „I will not feel uncomfortable!"
Buck: „Da ist jemand, der hier nicht rein passt! - Wir tun alles, um ihn passend zu machen, lassen ihn gewinnen, aber nichts funktioniert! Er scheint einfach nicht 'rein' zu passen!"
Nun, DAS passt natürlich auch alles auf KAI !!!
kai: „And?"
Buck fragt Kai um seinen Rat, der schnell darauf kam, dass Fify gemeint war ... doch der sieht ihn mit seinen Motten abhauen.
Kai: „I think, Fify solved your problem by himself!"
Tja, AUCH das trifft wohl auf Kai zu - selbst MIT seiner Seele entscheidet er sich für die gefährliche Selbstmordmission ... er ist eben DOCH zu kaputt, um wieder zu 'gesunden' und als 'wieder Lebender' in das Reich der Lebenden zu passen! Kai's Tod ist SEINE Entscheidung!
Und mit seiner Fletsche will oder kann Kai Fify auch nicht mehr aufhalten! Kai versucht es mit Argumenten, aber das ist bei Fify natürlich Quatsch. Auch wenn Fifies weitere Worte durchaus wieder FÜR Kais Stimme stehen!
Kai: „Return the moths. I need them to bring food to the Lexx!"
Und dann Kai als Sprachrohr der ganzen Gruppe: „They will all forgive you and try harder to make you fit in!"
Fify: „I play to WIN, you big losers! Play your sick, boring games, I fly far away from this never ending total boredom!"
(Kais Flucht in die Dream Zone?)
Buck: „That is really sad! Fify was different! - Okay, let's play a new game!!" - Zurück zum Spaß!

Stan weiß sehr genau, was das Richtige wäre, aber für May würde er auch das 'Falsche' bereit sein zu tun! Er wird dafür sorgen, dass es ihr besser geht!
Stan: „Good night, Xev. Good night, Kai!"
Stan hat vor, Kai in das Reich der Träume zu bomben!
Xev: „I can't let him"... (Kai go???)
Prince: „Life is full of choices. Not all of them are easy! Kai is dead! Whatever will happen, will not effect him. And the others: es sterben jeden Moment so viele Tausende auf Tausenden von Planeten. Was bedeuten sie dir, - oder mir?"
Lexx: „Noch 2 min und 40 sec."
Fify (fliegt gar nicht SOOOOO weit, nur 'in die Hölle'): „Wow, it is warm up here, boys!"
(Auch Kai schwitzt vor seinem echten (2.) Tod.)
Prince: „You can choose your own happiness or the happiness of people you have never known, - and they will never thank you! I can give you happiness, Xev. I can fill the emptiness within you. Let Stanley do, what he must!"
Xev: „I am going to stop him." - kleinlaut, wenig überzeugend!
Prince: „You are too late! - (lacht) - It is done! You don't have enough time to get to the bridge!"
Aber die Clusterechse ist eben doch schneller, als Prince es sich denkt!
Xev: „You don't, Stan. You are not going to kill people, we don't know. Or Kai, even though he is already dead. Do you HEAR me?"
Xev stopft Stan mit ihrem Busen den Mund! BEIDE hat Prince nacheinander besucht - mh, sind sie nun TOT?
Stan: „You were right to stop me. May is gone, she is dead, she is gone for me forever!" (Stan trauert, auch ohne, dass er nachgesehen hat.)
Xev: „Alright, let's see. - Look!"
Stan: „No, I can't!"
Xev: „Yes, you can!"
May: „Yes, you can! - My wound is not better, it never was there!! I never HAD a wound. And you don't have, what it takes to have me, Stanley! So, Good-bye, enjoy your life - what is left of it!"
May reißt ihm ihre Flöte von seinem Hals ab und zerquetscht sie mit ihrem Stiefelabsatz! Xev stellt sich schützend hinter Stan - stärkt seinen Rücken! May bekommt von Prince das Wasser des Lebens - SIE haben einen Deal! Sie hat ihre Seele verkauft.
Prince: „Xev prevented you from getting your reward. You would have enjoyed May, for a while."
But you will still get your punishment! - Weil es eine falsche Entscheidung war!
Prince: „But soon you will get another reward, you deserve!"
Und Prince und May küssen sich leidenschaftlich - Stan zerbricht es das Herz!
Xev: „We saw, what they wanted us to see!"
Mh, wie die TV-Serie an sich: du siehst, was sie für dich geDREHT haben!
Stan und Xev sind langsam hungrig, wann wird Kai zurück sein?
Kai: „I don't know. I am stranded here, as I am not longer in possession of the moths!"
Stan: „What does that mean?"
Kai: „I think, they are heading to the other planet: Fire!"

Fify zu seinem neuen Boss Duke, der sehr wachsam und schweigsam die Motten umrundet: „Ich weiss nicht, wie ich dort hin kam, aber ich passte nicht! Und jetzt gehorchen mir die Mottenbrüter und wir haben die Zutaten für einen Handel ... (Duke = das LEIDEN, und Prince = der Tod???) - ich habe hier Nahrung und Wasser! Vergiß die Ballons. Die Dinger sind perfekt für eine Attacke. Ich bin ein Insider, ich kenne die Abwehrpläne! Ich will nichts in return, ich MAG Attacken!"

3.04 - Boomtown

Während Kai weiter 'unbeteiligt' die Spieler bei einem neuen Spiel beobachtet, nähern sich die von ihm gestohlenen Motte für einen Angriff! - Und die Motten sind zu hoch für seine Fletschen-Waffe.
Fify: „We will hit you with more than you have ever seen before! Stay up high!"
Motten = Lexx-Folgen = hoher Sinn
Buck: „Mr. Kai, can you hit them with your brace-thing?"
Kai: „No, they are staying up well out of range."
Dann beobachtet Kai mit einer Art klinischem Interesse, wie die Leute um ihn herum wie die Fliegen sterben!)
Buck: „Bunny, we need more water."
Bunny: „There are too many fires, the burnings are out of control." - Komische Bemerkung, wo doch das Wasser ÜBERALL herum ist. Aber das 'Gute' kann das viele 'Böse' halt nicht stoppen!
Buck wird getroffen, er hängt sich an Kai, der ihn immer noch sehr klinisch beobachtet, dann fleht er Kai beim Niedersinken an: „Mr. Kai. Promise to look after her!"
Kai: „Who?"
Erst DA erwacht eine Art Interesse und Kai neigt sich zum Sterbenden herunter. Interessanterweise packt er Buck nicht an, das macht Kai doch sonst vielfach bei 'zum Sterben Verurteilten'!
Buck: „Bunny, she is in love with you!"
Kai grinst irgendwie grimmig, denkt er an Xev?
Kai: „I will try."
Buck: „Thanks for all time!"
Mh, interessant, dass Buck weiß, dass es hier um 'Ewigkeiten' geht und nicht um temporäre Siege. Und die Stadt neigt sich ihrem Untergang entgegen!
Bunny: „We have to swim for it!"
Kai: „I can not swim."
Bunny: „You don't?"
Kai: „I do not float!"
Gametowns Stützen brechen ein, die Stadt neigt sich, Kai und Bunny kämpfen um ihr Gleichgewicht. Kai stellt sich beschützend vor sie - hinter Bunny ist eine Säule und hält sie 'aufrecht'.
Bunny: „Goodbye, Kai!"
Kai: „Goodbye, Bunny."
Sie küßt ihn, aber er ist mit seinen Sinnen woanders und erkennt die Chance einer zu tief fliegenden Motte!
Die Insassen werden von Kai einfach herausgeschmissen! Und auf Kais Schultern hockt eine fröhliche Bunny! So Huckepack schleppt er Bunny auch auf die Brücke der Lexx - wo ihn Stan warm begrüßt, aber XEV sich gar nicht rührt!
Stan: „Hey, Kai, glad you finally got back! Xev and I really started to get REALLY hungry!"
Kai schaut auch zu Xev herüber, aber von ihr kommen keine begrüßenden Worte ... sie betont später, wie HUNGRIG sie ist - kommt in diesem Hunger ihre Raubtiernatur durch? Ist sise von Prince infiziert? Würde sie plötzlich BÖSE werden deswegen? Oder versucht sie einfach, ihre Gefühle und Hingezogenheit zu Kai 'loszuwerden' - und deswegen zeigt sie sich auch wenig eifersüchtig. Sondern einfach nur KÜHL. Auch Kai irritiert das Verhalten ein wenig, er dreht sich wieder von Xev fort!
Kai: „I start reanimating moth breeders to build new moths and then - we should all go down to - 'Water', so that you can eat!"
Irgendwie ist er bei diesen Worten selbst von sich irritiert??? Er schaut teilweise sehr nachdenklich, bewegt - und die Betonung ist auch nicht mehr so 'tonlos' wie sonst schon mal - UND er wendet sich von Stan und Xev ab - Bunny ist auch nicht mehr Huckepack! - Keiner sieht Kais 'Emotionen'. Nun, Kai ist ziemlich PUSHY - und er macht Vorschläge und irgendwie ist da auch eine Motivation zu erkennen - in Richtung 'Water'.

In der Brüterkammer:
Kai zu den neu geweckten Brütern: „Build more moths, now!"
In Speiseraum liegt Bunny auf der Ausgabe, die aber leere Schläuche enthält, Stan ist stark enttäuscht, Xev läuft wie ein Raubtier im Käfig herum.
Bunny: „Alle Städte sind anders, was sind dein Interessen?"
Stan: „As a living healthy male of the human species, I have VERY powerful interests..."
Bunny nickt - aber versteht nicht...
Xev: „He wants to get girls in bed. But as most of the time even girls with highly accelerated libido don't want to go in bed with him, he is constantly looking for girls, who don't care, who he is! - All he wants is sex: with anyone, anywhere, anytime - he is despaired - And I need to eat, soon."
Würde sie sonst wie Lyekka die anderen anfallen?
Bunny: „Boomtown: all they do is sex - that's what they do there. Nice girls and nice boys ..."
Bei dem Gedanken taut Xev doch etwas auf. Bunny hockt sich auf Stans Schoß.
Bunny: „Sex all the time, a non-stop sex city."
Dann sind die neuen Motten fertig ... es kann eigentlich nur einen halben Tag oder so dauern, denn die beiden sind in der Zeit nicht verhungert!
Bunny winkt den Eingeborenen von Kais Schoß aus zu! - Und Boomtown lässt von den Verteidigungsmaßnahmen ab.
Es gibt dort einen Obsttisch wie im Paradies ... Xev findet an einem jungen Mann Interesse! Sie reichen sich gegenseitig Obst an den Mund!
Xev: „Yes, I am very hungry. But I like to enjoy the flavour."
Rude: „I take my time, something desirable. Take it to your mouth, fresh, delicious, heaven rifeness - then the experience grows from there, I guess! - Waves rushing on the shore."
 - mh, ist das nicht wieder eine Anspielung auf Kais Tod - bereit (reif) für den 'Himmel' - aber dann musste er 'weiter' Erfahrungen sammeln.
Bunny kann das nicht recht nachvollziehen, es klingt gut, geht aber über ihren Horizont!
Oder das STERBEN wird beschrieben, - höchste Ekstase.
Bunny grinst Kai breit an, aber der steht unbeteiligt herum und schaut sich das alles mit mäßigem Interesse an.
Manche Fressen (Stan) - und manche GENIESSEN - wie Xev und Rude.
Bunny reicht Kai eine Frucht.
Bunny: „You have an empty stomach too?"
Kai: „I don't have a stomach at all!"
Rude: „Quantity or quality, Miss Xev?"
Xev: „Hard decision. Very hard. - Hard (sehr fruchtige Frucht)!"
Rude: „How hard?"
Xev: „It might take a long time to decide, very, very long."
Rude (HINTER ihm steht Kai... spricht er FÜR Kai?): „Well, it is very hard for me too, but it is important to come to a satisfying  - „
Xev (haucht): „...decision."
Kai schaut beide GANZ genau an. Was kann das bedeuten?
WELCHE Entscheidung ist so wichtig, dass Kai dazu viele tausend Jahre brauchte? - Die FÜR das Leben und gegen den Tod, oder FÜR den Tod und gegen das Leben? Oder die dafür, seine Freunde zu verlassen? Und seinen eigenen Weg in die Traumzone zu finden?
Nun, wie auch immer, es scheint eben NICHT ein leichter oder emotionsloser Weg zu sein, - für Kai. Das unterstützt meine Theorie, dass er LEIDET.

Stan hat inzwischen Peach in Richtung eines Schlafzimmers verfolgt, überall an den Wänden sind 'Titten'.
Peach: „Remember me? I am Peach."

Bunny zieht Kai auf einen Stuhl und setzt sich auf seinen Schoß.
Bunny: „I can go all night long, too!"
Kai: „Go where?" - Mh, diese Aussage scheint für den Weg 'fort' zu sprechen. Kai scheint mit seinen Gedanken zumindest irgendwo dort zu sein.
Bunny: „Go to the place, that makes a man happy!"
Kai: „Where is that?"
Bunny: „The place I want to bring you!"
Mh, so langsam versteht Kai wohl, dass BUNNY mit Sicherheit nicht seine 'Erlösung' meint.
Kai: „Are you trying to seduce me?"
Bunny: „Yes!"
Kai: „The dead can not be seduced!"
Bunny (enttäuscht): „I don't understand!"
Sie lässt sich frustriert auf den Rücken fallen.
Kai (beugt sich herunter): „Bunny, I ... am ... dead!"
Bunny: „No, you are not!"
Kai zieht seine Fletsche, Bunny erschrickt und hat eine Sekunde lang Angst, dann fängt Kai an, seine Hand abzusäbeln. Dabei gibt er EINDEUTIG 'Schmerzenslaute' von sich - wenn auch unterdrückt. Er gibt Bunny die abgetrennte Hand.
Kai (grinst, lächelt etwas): „Yes, I am."
Dabei winken seine Finger Bunny zu - etwas irritiert legt sie die Hand auf den Tisch zurück. Und Kai steckt sich die Hand wieder an.
Bunny: „That is a neat trick. Do other parts of you perform as well?
(Kais Mund offen, - er staunt! - Soviel 'Naivität'.)
Xev mischt sich von HINTER Kai ein, redet FÜR ihn (?): „Other parts don't perform AT ALL. You have to get your satisfaction elsewhere."
Kai: „Likewise, - Xev."
DAS ist etwas zweideutig, er scheint es zu XEV zu sagen, und damit würde es meinen: 'du mich auch, Xev' - mmmmh, oder zu Bunny eben 'ebenso wie Xev'.

Duke über seine Absichten nach dem Sieg über 'Water': „There is someone else I am going to replace ..." - er meint wohl Prince.
Fify: „Deine Stadt sah aus wie die Größte, ich dachte, du wärst der Kopf von allem?"
Duke: „Das werde ich bald sein!"
Dann beginnt der Angriff auf die Stadt von Prince - Duke lässt an der Stadt die Stützen sägen.

Stan: „Bunny said, on Boomtown you are very warm / friendly, open minded, when it comes to love?"
Peach: „No! But we are, when it comes to Sex."
Also Stan sucht EIGENTLICH Liebe, verwechselt das aber mit Sex ... denn SEX kann auf die Dauer nicht befriedigen.
Stan: „That is okay with me, I am HOME!"
Rude: „Come on a journey with me, Xev!"
Xev bläst eine Kerze aus (Lebenslicht?) und Rude gießt das heiße Wachs in seine eigene Hand (=SCHMERZEN).
Rude: „On a long journey full of pain, to a special place within ourselves!"
DAS ist die Lexx-Story! Und interessanterweise sind die fliegenden Tage der Lexx praktisch vorbei - und nun wo die Entscheidung FÜR den Tod gefallen ist, jetzt geht es eben um 'Himmel oder Hölle' - der Existenz NACH dem Tod - ODER eine Reise in noch höhere Gefilde - die noch unbekannter sind: die Welt der Götter und Träume ... (SEHR Sandman-mäßig!)
Xev: „So let's GO there now."
Rude: „Oh, the arrival will be 'surprise'!"

Bunny legt inzwischen Kai den Fuß in den Schritt und will ihn stimulieren. Sie hat ihm eine Blume ins Haar gesteckt wie in der Folge '2.13 - Twilight'.
Kai (wissenschaftlich): „So, Bunny... as so many sex is occurring in this city, there should be a lot of children."
Bunny: „What are children?"
Kai: „Children result from sex."
Bunny: „FUN results from sex."
(Die Seelen im Himmel kenne keine Verantwortung, und kein Wachstum!)
Kai: „Sex is considered to be fun but also is known to have other complications. One of which is 'children'."
(Mh, XEV ist sich als Lebenspenderin dieser Verantwortung bewusst, SIE würde gerne Leben spenden, Stan mag lediglich den FUN-Part und nichts anderes!
Bunny: „Not on Boomtown, it is just fun and that's all. I bet, I could make you ... 
Kai: „What?"
Bunny spielt mit ihrem Fuß in seinem Schritt herum ...
Bunny: „...aroused!"
Da verliert Kai dann die Geduld und schlägt seine Beine übereinander und stößt damit Bunny fort! WENN sie etwas anderes gesagt hätte, wäre er weniger abweisend?
Kai: „I have not been aroused for over 6000 years."
Bunny: „Well, you must be very frustrated!"
Sie pflückt die Blume aus seinem Haar und zerrupft sie in einem stummen: 'Er liebt mich, er liebt mich nicht' - Spiel.
Kai: „No, I am not frustrated!"
Bunny (zufrieden mit dem Blumenergebnis): „You want me, don't you?" Dabei beugt sie sich TIEF über seinen Schoß.
Kai (eindringlich): „The dead do not get frustrated. The dead do not have wants. The dead are simply 'dead'."
Bunny: „You are weird!"
Also, KAI ist nicht zu 100 % richtig tot, er ist 'weird' - und das macht seine Lage ja so schwierig - UND es scheint ja noch eine Verbindung zu seiner Seele zu geben, DIE ist deswegen ja nicht ganz FREI ...!
Bunny: „How did you all get here anyway?"
Kai: „We came on our 'ship' - the Lexx!"
Ja, nur dass er IMMER bei der Beschreibung der Lexx zögert. Lexx IST ein Schiff - aber auch die STORY / Geschichte / Schicksal ... und DAS meint Kai eigentlich !

Prince ist bei dem Angriff Dukes wütend, Duke sägt an den Fundamenten seiner Stadt / seiner Herrschaft.
Bean: „Wir sollen die eigene Lebensader kappen, um den Feind zu besiegen? Wie wäre es mit wegrennen? In Sicherheit?"
Prince lacht: „Es gibt keine Sicherheit!"
Über Duke sagt Prince: „Er ist eine Fliege, ein Jäger. Ich werde ihn besiegen, - und dann 'Water', - ICH bin der Herrscher von 'Fire'. Was immer war, wird immer sein!"
Duke über Prince: „Forever and ever he has grained me behind his heels. But finally I have the chance to grant him back."
Ist Duke der SCHMERZ, oder das LEIDEN? Auch er hat das Wasser des Lebens, aber in gefrorener Tropfenform! Oder ist Duke = Zeit?
Duke: „Many times I have nearly defeated him, but now I can win. He knows. So he will come to me, so that I can kill HIM!"
Fify: „Why kill him?"
Duke: „You have much to learn."

Stan wird derweil in Boomtown umgeben von lauter kleinen Früchtchen, die sich mit ihm vergnügen wollen. NOCH findet er das sehr gut! Aber z.B. weiteres Knuddeln gibt es von der Ersten nicht mehr. Trieb, - aber keine Gefühle!
Xev mit Rude: „A love-slave is someone who can't hold out much longer. Does everything a man does ever want or need! I can't hold out much longer!"
Rude: „Oh yes, you can! The way is your journey. The arrival: your joy!" - Mh, das ist wohl auch Kai's Weg / Schicksal. 

In Duketown: ein an einen Stuhl gefesselter Gefangener wird mit einer schmierigen Paste vollgesuhlt und dann abgefackelt! - Enjoy the suffering! (Unschuldige brennen? Aber WER ist schon unschuldig auf 'Fire'?
Oder ist Duke = der Teufel, oder DAS BÖSE schlechthin?
Prince versucht es mit einer Rede: „Geeint gegen EINEN Feind: 'Water'. ICH bin Fire's Prince!"
Prince lacht.
Duke: „Look, a tree falls!" (mh, aber Bäume wachsen nach!)
Duke: „A king without a crown. I have defeated you. Your town is gone, you have no power."
Prince: „Are you betraying me, May?"
May (wird mit einem gefrorenen Tropfen gefüttert): „Yes!"
Prince: „I have expected no less. You won, now I am ready to die!"
Prince kniet nieder und breitet seine Arme aus.
Duke: „No, but you will SUFFER."
Duke will Prince für alle Zeiten am Leben lassen und ihn LEIDEN lassen, denn ein toter Prince kann zurückkehren, in jeder Form, wie auch immer - aber ein leidender Prince ist gefangen in seinem Körper.
May verhindert das aber, sie schießt auf Prince und tut ihm damit einen Gefallen!
Duke: „Alive he is no threat, but dead he will come back to wound us!"
Tja, und wieder sind das alles Aussagen, die auch auf Kai zutreffen! Auch Kai ist als UNTOTER viel gefährlicher als er als Lebendiger sein kann!
Xev schlägt im Liebesspiel eine Brücke und Rude isst Früchte von ihrem Bauch herunter.
Rude: „Unless we get closer, and closer, are you sure, let's also touch. (*konnte man nicht gut verstehen*) We will get there, soon."

May wird auch auf den Stuhl gesetzt und dann mit Paste vollgeschmiert.
May: „He will take care of me!"
Duke: „Why should he?"
May: „I helped him!"
Duke: „Prince does not work like that. You did it for yourself! And if you think, he returns favours, than you have to confuse him with something 'good'."
Duke kurz bevor er die verängstigte May anzündet: „Good luck on the other side!"
Fify: „What do I miss here?"
Duke: „Life after death. Do you believe in it?"
Fify: „No."
Duke: „So, what happens, when you die?"
Fify: „That's it, game over."
Duke: „And after that? How does life begin?"
Fify: „One day I woke up - like everybody else."
Duke: „Before that?"
Fify: „I just wasn't!"
Duke: „Wrong, before you were, you just don't remember."
Fify: „When you destroy every city on 'Water' and rule both planets, will I be your no. 1 guy?"
Duke: „For now!"
Interessant ist, dass die Führer der großen Städte: Duke, Prince, Queen scheinbar ganz genau wissen, wie der Hase läuft: also wie das mit dem Tod ist, dem Sterben und dem Leben NACH dem Tod!

Kai belädt weiter die Motte, die ihn und Stan und Xev nach Boomtown brachte, mit Fruchtkörben. Diese sind so schwer, dass Bunny sie nicht tragen kann, als Kai ihr einen weiterreicht.
Bunny: „So why does your ship has to eat?"
Kai: „Because it is a large insect. It is alive. And all living things must eat! You can see it passing between the two planets."
(Komisch, erst jetzt erinnert er sich wieder an die Mission, der Lexx Futter zu bringen?)

Rude: „Can you hear the waves, Xev?"
Xev: „Ich hab lange genug zugehört, let's go with it! PLEASE."
Rude: „But the journey."
Xev: „I am programmed to love, and you will download that program, right? Just don't download too soon!"
Rude: „It's a BIG program, Xev. It take time to download - as long as you can take it!"
Ein Hinweis auf die Lexx-Show AN SICH. Ein großes Programm!

Flower: „What is the H. in Stanley H. Tweedle stand for?"
Frucht2: „Hunky, handsome, honk?"
Stan: „Hermans?"
(DAS wollen die Weiber aber nicht hören, denn das ist ja kein Spaß mehr - anders ausgedrückt, sie wollen NICHT wissen, wer oder was er wirklich ist!)

Fify: „Save Boomtown. It is the only one that really did it for me. Down and dirty."

Stan: „Have you ever heard of 'too much of a good thing'? There is a limit and I passed mine SOME time ago!"
Auch der Himmel kann einem zu viel werden!
Flora: „Stop? I don't understand?!"
Stan: „Oh, I think, I am getting a headache."
Flora: „What is a headache?"
Die Motten nähern sich der Stadt und kommen auf Kai aus dem Himmel zu: Tod nähert sich)
Bunny: „Are they coming this way?"
Kai: „Yes."
Bunny: „Does that mean, I might die?"
Kai: „Yes." wendet sich zu Bunny, - auf jeden Fall mehr ‚interessiert', als vorher.
Kai: „Are you afraid?"
Bunny: „Yes! - ... Are you afraid?"
Kai: „No." - immerhin sagt er NICHT, er wäre ja schon tot!

Xev ist mit Rude IMMER noch nicht soweit! Aber dann taucht eine vertraute Gestalt zwischen den Schleiern auf - und Xev springt auf und macht den Reißverschluss ihres Oberteils wieder zu.
Xev: „KAI! How can you be .... I mean ..."
Kai: „Xev. - Alive?"
Kai sieht anders aus: brauner mit lockigen Haaren, einer Art graublauen Tunika um die Schultern und seinem Bogen - wie eine Art 'Amor'. Eine seiner Haarsträhnen ist nun auch auf seiner rechten Seite - hinten.
Xev: „Yes!"
Kai: „I am here for you!"
Xev streicht ihm über den Arm: „Your skin is warm!"
Kai: „Of course!" (Er antwortet mit einem übersteigerten Lachen und Atmen! - Damit auch der Dümmste mitbekommt, dass er WIRKLICH lebendig ist!)
Xev: „But how, where do you come from?"
Kai: „I only know, that I am here, and that I had to come to you."
(Er legt Xev den Arm um und sie streicht über sein Gesicht.)
Rude: „Shall I leave you two alone?"
Xev: „Sorry, Rude, but ... this is KAI!"
Rude: „Du musst nichts erklären, alles ist okay!" (er küsst Xev UND Kai (welcher lächelt) auf die Wange.)
Rude: „We are on Boomtown!" (geht)

Stan kann sich gegen die Frauen gar nicht mehr wehren. Dann ein GONG.
Frucht: „We are attacked!"
Alle Frauen springen schnell von Stan fort und weg.
Stan: „Saved by the bell!"

Bunny zu Kai, der rausmarschiert (in Richtung des Kampfes und des Todes - stellt sich ihm in den WEG): „I want to go with you!"
Kai: „Xev .... Kai!" - Als Kai den lebenden Kai hinter Xev in Richtung des Kampfes stürmen sieht. Dabei scheint d-Kai (dead-Kai) recht erstaunt zu sein. Zumindest steht sein Mund offen.
Xev zu d-Kai: „Kai? - I thought, that you somehow came back to life, but you are still dead, aren't you?"
d-Kai: „Yes!" (Mund leicht offen.)
R-Kai (Raphael-Kai) schaut sich d-Kai zwar näher an, aber nicht wirklich neugierig, eher feindlich, rivalisch und macht seine Pfeile scharf.
Xev: „How can there be two of you?"
R-Kai (stößt Bunny einfach zur Seite, brutal, rücksichtslos und auf d-Kai zu - der ECHTE Kai wäre nicht so rücksichtslos): „One is dead, the other is alive."
DAS ist zwar ein Unterschied, aber in diesem Fall ist der R-Kai eben NICHT der echte lebende Kai, der tatsächlich auf 'Water' existiert!

Fify: „That is an easy target."

Stan: „What is this accommodation about?"
R-Kai: „We are attacked by forces of the planet 'Fire'."
d-Kai: „They are using the moths stolen from us."
DA erst merkt Stan, was vorgeht: „Is this real or am I dreaming this?"
Xev: „This is real."
Stan: „Can you explain it? Please?"
Xev: „No, I don't understand it either."
Stan: „Can we go now?"
d-Kai: „I think, that will be sensible." (recht kleinlaute Stimme, weil es vom Double gesprochen wird? Warum nicht nachvertont?)
d-Kai führt die Gruppe raus in den Kampf - an R-Kai vorbei!

d-Kai sitzt vorne mit Xev IN der Motte plus Stan, wobei d-Kai aber halb draußen hängt. R-Kai sitzt auf einem der Beine der Motte weiter hinten. d-Kai führt sozusagen die Gruppe.
Fify sieht den d-Kai und erkennt die Bedrohung: „Er sieht uns!"
d-Kai: „That one contains Fify, he stole our moths!"
R-Kai: „Then get him, bring him down!"
d-Kai (legt an, überlegt dann): „They are out of my current range." (Mh, warum nur die 'gegenwärtige' Reichweite?)
R-Kai zu Xev, die die Motte steuert: „Then quick, go after them!"
Stan: „Or we just could return to the Lexx."
R-Kai (drängend): „He IS the enemy. Clearly!"
Xev lässt sich beeinflussen: „I agree!"
Zwei gegen einen, d-Kai legt an. Auch R-Kai schultert seine Waffe, den Bogen.
Duke: „Attacke abbrechen, folgt der Motte, die uns folgt!"
Stan: „So what are we gonna do?"
R-Kai: „We fight."
Stan: „Oh sure, that is easy for you to say, not sure what exactly is your desire!"
R-Kai bedrängt Xev sozusagen mit drängenden Blicken.
Xev: „What, if I do?"
d-Kai: „We have little choice, Stanley! I suspect, they come after us, whatever choice we take."
R-Kai grinst erwartungsvoll, d-Kai ist eher grimmig entschlossen.
Die Motte fliegt / flieht in Richtung 'Fire' - hinter der von Fify und Duke hinterher - und ihnen folgen die restlichen 7 voller Duke-Anhänger!

3.05 - Gondolla

Es ist nebelig, Duke erklärt: „That is double-dust, when the storm reaches down to the surface. - Not the best time to make a crossing."

Strategie: Xev hört auf d-Kai, um die Verfolger auszutricksen: sie schlägt einen Bogen, so dass Kai mit seiner Fletsche mitten unter die Verfolger schießen kann. R-Kai schießt mit seinem Bogen und erwischt auch ein paar. Die, die d-Kai trifft, explodieren meistens ! - DAS ist neu!
Eine Motte wird von d-Kai entflügelt und explodiert, die eigene bekommt allerdings auch ein paar Pfeile ab und taumelt.
d-Kai: „I have destroyed them all. Besides the one ahead of us."
R-Kai: „Which is the most important one. Let's go, get them!"
Xev: „The moth is not responding."
d-Kai: „It is hit by many crossbow darts. I suspect, it is injured."
Stan: „We gonna die!"
Xev: „What are we gonna do?"
d-Kai: „He is right, the moth will crash and you will all gonna die."
(Leichtes Zögern und Wegschauen - mh, trennt er sich innerlich von ihnen? Ist er vielleicht 'neidisch'?)
Xev: „It is not responding any more - it is dead."
Bunny wird weinerlich.
Xev: „Any ideas?"
R-Kai: „Yes, just one ... come over."

Fify: „I can't see them anymore."
Duke: „Good."
Fify: „I can't see ahead either, can you?"
Duke: „No."
Und dann schlägt ihre Motte auf.

Aber R-Kai kann! Der Tod sieht in die Zukunft !? Der Tod ist mächtiger als Duke!
Fify: „Where are we?"
Duke: „I think, we are landed."
Fify: „I know, but where are we?"
Duke: „Somewhere on the surface of 'Fire'."
Fify: „Any idea where?"
Duke: „No."
Fify: „Thank you! - It worked after all. We can take the heat until the storm falls in here. There is no way that the dead man could follow us in this. - What is wrong?"
Die Motte reagiert nicht mehr auf den Joystick.
Duke: „Dead."

Alle hängen an Kai's Fletsche UNTER der Motte.
Xev: „Can you see anything?"
R-Kai: „Not yet."..(Xev hängt AN ihm, d-Kai hängt AN der Motte, Bunny hängt an d-Kai, R-Kai folgt dann, und der umklammert Xev. Stan hängt an d-Kais Beinen.
R-Kai: „There, ahead!"
Xev: „I can't see anything."
R-Kai: „Quick, Kai, drop us down!"
Und sie plumpsen alle in eine Sanddüne, d-Kai steht aufrecht bis zu den Knien in Sand, Bunny hängt an ihm unter seinen Fittichen - alle anderen liegen - und Stan etwas von Xev und R-Kai entfernt auf der anderen Seite des Dünen-Kamms. R-Kai wendet ihnen den Rücken zu.
Ein Stück entfernt schlägt die Motte auf und explodiert.
Xev: „At least we didn't stay in the moth!" (zu R-Kai): „Thanks, that was a good idea, you saved us all."
R-Kai schweigt und grinst, um Stan kümmert sich keiner, als er über die Düne angekrochen kommt. 
Stan: „Danke der Nachfrage!"
d-Kai befreit sich selbst aus der Düne.
Stan zu R-Kai: „What are we gonna do, when the sun comes up, Mr. Bright Ideas?"
R-Kai schnappt sich seinen Bogen aus dem Sand, packt Xev an der Hand und führt sie grinsend fort. Bunny springt auf d-Kais Schultern  Huckepack, er trottet hinter Stan als Letzter hinter allen her. R-Kai hat nun die Führung übernommen.

Fify mit Duke in der toten Motte warten auf den Sonnenaufgang.
Fify: „Where are our moths? Why aren't they coming picking us up?"
Duke: „I don't know."
Fify: „There is no way the dead guy brought them all down, is there?"
Duke: „Perhaps he did."
Fify: „Let's say, he did, what happens then?"
Duke: „We die."
Fify: „Look, there is a city over there, we can walk!"
Duke (lacht): „That city is called 'Girltown'. It is the only one where they not might kill us. But I don't think you will be very happy there."
Fify: „What other chance do we have? Let's start walking before it get's any hotter."
Duke: „No, there is no point. To get there, we have to cross the red, hot sea. That is a sea of boiling rock, which is so hot, that it glows red. Would we have landed there, we would be consumed in seconds."
Fify: „Is there something else we can do instead of getting cooked? Dying is not high on my agenda for today."
Duke: „That is not such a bad thing. For me, anyway. But I am me and you are you! You can only suffer your fate - and for you, death will be bad! - Your suffering will start for you shortly, immediately after the heat will have killed your body, that contains your miserable life."
Fify (versteht nicht): „Whatever! Look, there must be SOMETHING, that we can do!"

R-Kai setzt den Fuß in den Sand, Xev setzt ihren daneben, Stan folgt in ihren Fußstapfen. Sie erreichen die tote und explodierte Motte, deren grünes Blut noch an manchen Stellen tropft.
Stan: „The moths flying days are over."
DAS stimmt wohl auch im großen und ganzen für die Lexx! Stan sieht etwas in weiter Ferne und übernimmt von da an die Führung. Sie finden eine leere Gondel, Ballon.
Xev: „Can we make it fly?"
d-Kai: „There is still some fuel remaining!"
(mh - stimmt das mit Kais 'Antrieb' überein?)
Stan begutachtet die Ballon-Hülle: „I can't see any holes."

Fify: „I don't know, which is hotter, the sun or the ground."
Duke: „The ground."
Fify: „Why do you know all this stuff? About what happens to me, when I die?"
Duke: „I died many times. Death is not the end. Really a transformation to another life. Your next life might not be so pleasant."
Fify: „I don't have much of a pleasant life right now."
Duke: „Your next will be more unpleasant. You will look back to this with longing, except you will not remember."
(Mh, der tote Kai erinnert sich, heißt das, er sehnt sich nach dem alten Leben und seinen 'Problemchen' da zurück?)
Duke: „Maybe you will be lucky again?"
Fify: „Lucky?"
Duke: „You didn't like the others from your planet? - Sometimes errors occur, mistakes, and you end up on a planet you don't belong."
Der Tod ist also NICHT unfehlbar! Oder das System von 'Leben und Tod'. Außerdem: wenn alle Brunnen-G in die Dream Zone überwechselten, - nur Kai nicht, dann stimmt auch das: Kai's Seele ist auf diesem Planeten (auch wenn es ‚Water' ist) falsch und gehört nicht dort hin.
Fify: „A place I didn't want to be."
Duke: „And you found me, and we die together. You will be MINE forever!"

Mh, Kai will AUCH nicht bei den Lebenden sein!
In der Zeit steigt ein Ballon der Hoffnung auf. Vorne steht Bunny und schaut nach vorne, daneben Kai, aber der schaut nach hinten / zurück - gedankenverloren. Bunny ist ganz in Weiß, lediglich um die Brust herum hat sie einen grau-blauen Streifen (Weiß = Unschuld / Leben) - Schwarz = tot.)
Stan: „We are gonna down, more heat!"
R-Kai legt noch etwas nach.
Stan: „Okay, up again."
Stan ist also der Captain?
R-Kai: „But we are burning too much fuel!"
Xev: „At least the wind is blowing in the right direction."

Xev zu R-Kai: „Do you think, we have enough fuel to make it?"
R-Kai: „No, if we are burning it at this rate."
(Der Stoff für die Lexx? Oder ist gemeint: Kais Antrieb?)
Xev: „What do we do?"
d-Kai denkt nach und steht auf: „We loose weight."
(eine komische Bemerkung für einen Toten, der sich nicht verändern kann, und damit auch nicht 'abnehmen'.)
R-Kai: „He is right, if we loose weight we will burn less fuel."
Mh, den Inhalt von der Lexx-Serie 'abspecken'?
Stan: „Hey, what is that red stuff ahead?"
d-Kai weiß, was es ist? Die Grenze zwischen Leben und Tod ??? Alle werden dort hinein stürzen ... also muss er sich opfern. d-Kai verlässt VOR der rotglühenden Grenzlinie zwischen (Leben und Tod?) das Schiff / Boot und die Gefährten. Kai muss den 'harten' Weg beschreiten - kein 'echter' Tod?
Xev: „It looks hot."
d-Kai: „He is right, this balloon is carrying too much weight for all of us - (hier ist er bewegt) - to make it. I will meet you at the city."
R-Kai und d-Kai stehen sich genau gegenüber, wie zwei Seiten einer Medaille - Rivalität? Fühlt sich Kai so zu der Entscheidung gezwungen? Face to Face mit dem 'Tod'.
d-Kai: „Fare well!"
Und mit diesen Worten schwingt er sich ohne zu zögern über die Brüstung.
Xev: „Kai!"
d-Kai fällt, steht auf, winkt Bunny noch zu und marschiert zielstrebig alleine los ... unaufhaltsam auf den roten See zu.
Stan: „He is alright, Xev, he is doing the right thing."
Der Ballon steigt etwas.
Xev: „It is much cooler up here. So, - explain, why do you look exactly like Kai?"
R-Kai: „Explain why he looks exactly like me?"
Kai beschäftigt sich gerne mit Xev!
Stan: „Wait, we know, he IS Kai, and we can see, that you look exactly like him. But who are you?"
Kai grient übertrieben viel und schüttelt den Kopf
Kai: „Who do I look like?"
Xev: „Kai, Last of the Brunnen-G?"
Kai: „Exactly!"
Xev: „But how could the both of you be ONE person?"
Kai: „I am not exactly sure, that we are! (grinst dabei wie irre) - He is dead, so he is not the same to me, because ... (er nimmt Xev in den Arm) ... I am quite alive. (und grinst wieder wie blöde)
Fify: „Hey, down here....!" - ruft Fify dem Ballon vom Boden zu und winkt.
Stan: „It is a trick."
Kai: „I wouldn't rule out that possibility." (grient dabei immer noch wie blöde.)
Xev: „Who is it?"
Kai: „Let's go down and find out."
Im Gegensatz zu den meisten Bewohnern von 'Water' ist Kais Outfit zwar hell, aber eher blau-grau - Bunnies aber bis auf den blauen Streifen um den Brustkorb ganz weiß. - Ein Hinweis?
Stan: „But the extra-weight!"
Kai: „Do you say, we should leave them in the dessert to die?
Stan: „No, leave them, they find themselves a way out, so that they can't jump on us!"
Kai grinst: „Xev?"
Fify: „Happy to see you, I thought we were dead!"
Stan: „What do you want?"
Fify: „Live of course."
Duke hat auch ein graues Hemd an, Fify hat eine dunkle graue Hose - helleres Hemd und eine grau-blaue Mütze. Xev und Stan sind eher in roten Tönen - die einzige wahrhaft Lebendigen unter allen Bewohnern von 'Water' und 'Fire'.
Und der tote Kai hat unter seiner schwarz vom Alter gewordenen Brunnen-G Kleidung ja auch ein eher grau, blaues Unterzeug.
Xev: „You were in one of the moths, weren't you?" - Also sind das die FEINDE.
Fify: „Against our will! We had nothing to do with it! We were escaping, when we crashed in the storm. That is what happened."
Bunny: „Hey Fify. He stole your moths!"
Stan: „They attacked Boomtown, they can stay out here and die!"
Bunny: „Fify was ... he didn't really fit in."
Stan: „Sorry, you are stuck here. We are running low on fuel and don't need any extra weight, sorry."
Fify: „You let us here to die?"
Kai grinst.
Stan: „We set for Girltown, we letting them know, that you are out here, sending someone out to get you."
Fify: „You can't do that! We will be dead by then! - Bunny, we are friends!"
Bunny windet sich, KANN nicht anders.
Xev: „I don't feel, it is right myself."
Stan: „It is a bit difficult myself, - but the extra weight, we can't do anything about them except join them."
Kai übernimmt die Initiative und senkt den Ballon.
Kai: „I do the right thing!"
Als Duke hochklettert, hilft R-Kai den Beiden an Bord, dabei sieht ihn Duke länger an: „YOU!"
Kai grient: „Me."
Fify umarmt Kai: „Thanks, and I mean it sincerely, hey, - you are looking better, guy!"
Kai grient. DIESER Kai hier sieht eben lebendig aus!
Fify umarmt auch Bunny: „You guys saved our lives."
Stan: „Well, not for long, because we have not enough fuel to make it!"
Bunny sitzt neben Fify an der Seitenwand, Duke ist am Bug und beäugt den Kai am Heck misstrauisch.
Fify: „You know, it cools down when you are up in the higher waves."
Kai und Duke stehen wie auf ein Stichwort gemeinsam auf. Kai macht seinen Bogen scharf.
Fify: „You don't think, we make it?"
Stan: „We go back down, when we drop you, we are off."
Duke breitet opferbereit seine Arme aus: „There will be a next time."
Kai wendet sich ab: „There always is." Dann schießt er Duke in die Brust und dieser fällt in die rote, heiße See.
R-Kai: „He led the attack, he was our enemy."
Fify: „He had total control of me, too! - We lost weight now, so we can make it, right?"
Fify flieht zu Bunny um Hilfe und Unterstützung.
d-Kai marschiert mit zischenden Geräuschen bei jedem Schritt über das Lava-Feld - und findet dort die Überreste von Dukes Kleidung, aber wenig von dem Kerl selbst - der Pfeil steckt noch in ihm, Kai bläst die brennende Spitze aus. - denkt nach - und stapft dann weiter durch die Glut.
Fify: „I have a question, what happens when you die?"
Stan: „Good question, since we all gonna die soon. You die, that's it!"
Bunny: „When you are good, something nice will happen to you."
Fify: „YOU think that, Bunny."
Bunny ist darüber betrübt - und Fify korrigiert sich schnell.
Fify: „Well, I hope, you are right...Duke said, - before the big drop, not the first time to live, something coming after, for me anyway. - Good? Not exactly, I don't know."
Kai kommt interessiert hinzu: „And you believed him?"
Fify: „No, not really. You wake up one day, life begins, there you are... You don't remember anything before that, so it means: there wasn't!"
Naja, wenn man sich nicht erinnert, KANN es also nicht gewesen sein?
Kai ist nachdenklich.
Xev und Stan: „Wake up? - You mean: 'born'?
Fify: „What is that?"
Xev: „Born, when your mother had you!"
Fify: „Mother?"
Stan: „Bunny, you are a woman, explain it to him."
Bunny: „What?"
Stan: „Born, life begins!"
Bunny: „I just woke up and was there."
Stan: „There is something REALLY weird about you and this two planets..."
Xev - die Lebensspenderin erklärt: „See, people start as babies, about this size - (zeigt Fingerbreite an) - and they grow inside women."
Bunny: „I was always this size."
Fify: „Yeah, me too."
(Auf 'Fire and Water' gibt es kein Wachstum, alles ist immer gleich! Und wiederholt sich.)
Kai nähert sich immer mehr Bunny, sehr sehr nah, mit seinem Schritt (gegrätschte Beine) praktisch an ihrem Ellenbogen und berührt sie ... eine Art Zustimmung?
Fify: „Maybe you are right and I was once small, and I don't remember?"
Xev: „We are going down again."
Stan: „Increase the flames."
Kai steht auf und fummelt an der Feuerkontrolle: „It's at the maximum."
Stan: „It is the red hot sea, if we can't get more flames, we crash here and we all get burned!"
Mh, woher weiß er das mit der roten, heißen See? Das hat doch Duke nur zu Fify erklärt!
Kai: „That is all there is."
Stan: „Okay, so we have to loose weight now!"
Kai: „So who is gonna volunteer to die?"
Stan: „I volunteer him!" - und meint Fify.
Fify: „I volunteer you!"
Stan zu Fify: „We picked you up, got you some extra life. Come on, Fify, do the right thing!"
Fify: „How is that the right thing?"
Xev: „To save us all, only one person has to."
Bunny: „I will do it, I will jump over the side."
Stan: „NO, you won't, he stole the moths and attacked Boomtown!"
Fify: „Against my will, Bunny volunteers, let her do it!"
Xev: „Kai?"
Kai: „We all agree, that someone HAS to die?"
Alle nicken.
Kai: "We can have a vote!"
Kai wendet sich nach Bunny und Fify - macht sich bereit, ihn in  die Zange zu nehmen.
Stan: „Fify!"
Xev zögert, fühlt sich nicht wohl dabei: „Fify."
Fify: „Bunny."
Bunny: „Bunny. I vote for myself."
Xev zu Kai: „You have to decide."
Fify: „Why, Bunny said she want to do it!"
Stan: „No, she's not like to do it, she is just a nice person, not like Fify here."
Kai schnappt sich Bunny an der Schulter - sie schluckt und rechnet mit allem ab. Aber sie lässt sich wegführen. Sie geht zu ihrer Hinrichtung ...
Kai: „I think that of all persons on this ship one person deserves to live least."
Kai: „I vote for: .... Fify!"
Und in dem Moment schnappt er sich ihn unter - und drängt ihn in Richtung der Brüstung. Er duldet keinen Widerspruch, grinst.
Fify: „No, I am not gonna jump!"
Stan: „Then we gonna throw you over!"
Xev: „Kai!"
Fify: „I am begging you! You can't just kill me, snagging my life as if it was nothing!"
(Kais (2.)Tod ist so wie sein erster, als wäre sein Leben dazwischen NIX gewesen - sein Untod von 6000 Jahren Leiden - NIX.)
Fify: „And if Duke is right and there is another life, then you all have to pay for this wrong!"
Kai: „I thought, you didn't believe him!"
Stan: „You have no choice, Fify, come on."
Fify: „No, this killing is wrong! There's gonna be a way...not enough fuel, but the wind might change direction! You can't take a man's precious life because there's not enough wind!"
Bunny hält sich da raus, Xev verlässt auch mehr und mehr ihr Mut ... Fify beißt Stan.
Xev: „We are going to throw you over, we have to and you deserve it!"
Fify: „I don't wanna die!"
Kai: „If you are right, Fify, and there is nothing after this, .... hehehe."
Stan: „This is as hard for us as it is for you!"
Fify: „Then YOU jump!"
Bunny macht sich im Hintergrund bereit und steht an die Reling. Kai sieht Bunnies Versuch als erster, dann rennt Stan zu ihr!
Bunny: „Let me do it, I can't take it anymore."
Stan: „Bunny, please, don't you forget, what he did to all your friends?"
Bunny (kleinlaut): „I forgive him."
Stan: „Oh Bunny."
Fify schnallt sich schnell an, bevor die anderen wieder auf dumme Gedanken kommen.
Xev: „I don't know, Stan. I don't know, if I can throw him over either!"
Stan: „What is he gonna do, when we all crash and burn?"
Xev: „What is wrong IS wrong!"
Kai denkt nach.
Stan: „Come on, Kai, give me your hand!"
Xev: „Don't think, we are going down anymore anyway!"
Kai schaut nach: „The sun is going behind 'Water', that will make it cooler for now."
Fify küßt Kais Hand ...
Stan: „You had the right instinct, Bunny, but he is the wrong guy..." (siehe dazu auch Staffel 4)
d-Kai geht gleichmütig HINTER der Gondel her, über die Lava-Felder - und jeder Schritt 'zischt' - tut weh? Brennt?
R-Kai: „We don't know, what's ahead. We should get some sleep."
Stan: „I am not tired."
Bunny: „I am." (= lebensmüde ?)
Fify: „I want to make myself useful, do my bit, keep watch..."
Stan: „We don't trust you...!"
Kai: „I will keep watch."
Xev: „He is right, we don't know, what's ahead of us. And I am VERY tired. Maybe we should try to get some rest."
Stan: „Yeah, okay."
(Schlaf ist gleich der Bruder des Todes!)
Stan zu Kai: „Promise, you will take your eyes over him - you, Bunny, come, lay down with me!"
Xev: „Sleep well, Stan!"
Stan: „I will try."
(Alle haben mittlerweile Verbrennungen im Gesicht, Bunny kuschelt sich an Stan, Fify geht zu Kai (heimlich) Kai schaut nach HINTEN nicht nach vorne - und trinkt einen Schluck aus seinem Fläschchen voller 'Wasser des Lebens'. Langsam, hält es lange im Mund - allein daran, dass man unsere Leute bis jetzt so gut wie NICHT hat trinken sehen in der Hitze, die da angeblich herrschen soll, erkennt man, dass es sich bei diesen ganzen Orten / Folgen um Metaphern handeln muss! - Und nicht um Realität!
Fify: „Thanks for not throwing me over before. I know, that you guys voted for me that I deserve to die the most. So I want to thanks."
(Kai schaut Fify bei seiner Salbungsrede nicht an...)
Fify: „She is pretty cute!"
NUN ist Kai doch etwas interessiert.
Fify: „It is entirely obvious, that she gets the huts for you - oh yeah!"
Kai grinst.
Fify: „Why don't you go, lay down next to her?"
Kai: „I am keeping watch." - er hält also sein Versprechen!
Fify: „So what, let me take a turn. As I said, I can't sleep! What are you worrying about, steel the balloon? - (wie der betrügende 790 am Schluss der letzten Staffel - als er die Lexx 'stielt') -  There is nothing I can do - we might die in a couple of hour."
Kai atmet aus, weiß das.
Fify: „You should have a good time, while you can. And its a good time laying down there waiting for you!"
Kai macht den Mund auf, grinst breit - der Gedanke gefällt ihm.
Kai: „When did you hook up with Duke?"
Fify: „Well, since I woke up, I was on Gametown, the place where they all do this great soccer all the time."
Kai nickt.
Fify: "It was OKAY, but it was not ME. So the dead guy, who looks alot like you, came along. I took his moths and I leave - I figured out, I might do better on this planet, landed on what looked like the biggest city. Duke was the big cheese there, so he became my boss. Then you put an arrow through him. I saw something, when you shot that arrow!"
Kai kommt GANZ nah an Fifies Gesicht: „What did you see?" Kai umarmt Fify fast schon, sein Kinn auf Fifies Schulter, grinst breit.
Fify: „Something between going on!"
Kai noch breiter grinsend: „What?"
Fify: „I don't know, something!"
Kai: „You always ever look after yourself, right, Fify?"
Fify: „I don't know, how you got that?"
Kai: „Tell the truth, for once in your life, Fify, it could be the most important thing you ever say!"
Fify: „I consider myself a practical guy. I do what is ... practical."
Kai: „Only if it benefits you and ONLY you, right?"
Dabei klopft er Fify auf die Schulter.
Fify: „Okay, right."
Kai: „And you also take pleasure in the suffering of others, right?"
Fify: „Only if it's practical, is that the right answer?"
Kai: „It was a bad answer, but a practical one for you!" - Er nimmt seinen Kopf von Fifies Schulter.
Kai: „I would like to make you a deal!"
Fify: „I love deals!" - beide grinsen breit.

Kai beugt sich über die schlafende Xev und streicht ihr über die Schulter - noch immer schwebt das Schiff über der Lava-See.
Er küsst sie auf der Schulter, und sie wird wach.
Xev: „Kai."
Kai: „Xev."
Xev: „How is everything?"
Kai: „It is okay, I just want to be close to you for a moment. Is that okay?"
Xev: „Yes, - are you really alive? - All of you?"
Kai rückt näher über sie, dann grinst er breit und führt ihre Hand in seinen Schritt - stöhnt leicht.
Kai: „All of me, and we never might have another chance!" - Küsst sie, streichelt über den Bauch und die Wange etc.
Kai: „I can not help, but I feel I know you. Maybe I do. From another life!"
Ist das ein lahmes Anbaggern oder stimmt es, eben WEIL Zev schon mal gestorben ist - und die neue Xev nicht ganz wie die ALTE ist?
Kai: „Do you want me?"
Mh, den TOD zu wollen ist schon eine zweischneidige Sache.
Xev: „YES!"
Kai: „Then I am yours!"
Xev: „And I am yours!"
Kai legt seine Waffe und den Brustharnisch unter Küssen ab ... Xev und Kai wechseln so ein wenig die Seiten.)
Dann ein Schrei: Bunny stürzt in den Lavastrom. Alle stürmen heran.
Fify: „Bunny, she sacrificed herself." (Momente des Glücks werden IMMER gestört oder bestraft! - So ist das bei Lexx.)
Stan: „I don't think so. She was a really nice person and you pushed her over! Didn't you?"
Kai: „I should have stayed on watch!"
Mh, da sag noch einer, er (Prince) lügt kaum oder Kai (der Tote) kann nicht lügen ! Und wie er sich langsam wieder voll anzieht und bewaffnet.
Stan: „What happened? You were on watch!"
Kai: „I don't know exactly! - I was distracted." - NUN das dürfte wohl stimmen ! Die Details weiß er nicht ... wie Fify Bunny hergelockt hat ... 
Stan: „What do you mean?"
Xev: „With me! I distracted him. - It was our only chance to be together." - Xev hat NATÜRLICH ein schlechtes Gewissen. Kai geht zu ihr - tröstend?
Fify: „It was not her fault. Bunny throw herself over for the rest of us. She wanted to do so for a while now: made her feel 'good' or something. I don't know."
(Mh, ist das eine Aussage, die auch auf KAI - den echten - Untoten - zutrifft? - Und am Schluss 'trickst' der Tod ja auch den echten Kai aus? Oder?)
Kai: „It was MY fault. If I would stayed on watch, I could have stopped it!" Kai lächelt und dreht sich schnell weg.
Fify: „No more weight problems, thanks to Bunny, THANKS Bunny! - Hope you are somewhere nice now!" ruft er der Toten hinterher.
Kai folgt Xev zum Ausguck, die Sonne geht gerade auf.
Xev: „We are passing it!" - Ihre Ziel-Stadt zieht an ihnen vorbei.
Kai: „The wind has changed direction!"
Xev: „It is increasing."
d-Kai ist immer noch auf dem Marsch durch das Lavameer - auch er ändert die Richtung, als der Ballon die erste Stadt hinter sich lässt.
Stan und Fify treten in die Pedalen - um den Ballon in eine etwas andere Richtung zu dirigieren und ihn OBEN zu halten - das ist schon ein Vorgeschmack auf die sie erwartende Strafe nach dem Tod!
Xev: „Paddle faster, we are even further away."
Fify: „I paddle as fast as I can."
Xev befiehlt R-Kai und Stan: „Turn this way."
Xev: „More cities, lots of them."
Stan: „Can we make it?"
Xev: „No, they are very far away. We will be very lucky to make it, ...but the wind is still increasing."
d-Kai trottet immer noch hinterher, er ist nicht soooo weit weg, aber schwer einzuholen - das Lavameer ist aber nun hinter ihm.
Fify: „I can't take it much longer!"
Kai: „It won't take much longer."
Pfeile pfeifen um sie herum, sie werden angegriffen und der Ballon sinkt.
Xev: „Balloon's hit, give more flames!"
Kai: „There isn't anymore."
Stan: „We are burning up."
Fify: „We are almost there."
Xev: „The other way - volle Wende!"
R-Kai macht das.
Stan: „Xev! What are you doing?"
Xev: „What I have to do! - Watch out! Jump!"
Xev steuert den Ballon auf einen der Dornen des City-Turms, die Gondel wird bäuchlings aufgeschlitzt - Kai, Xev und Fify springen leichtfüßig über die Reling auf den Dorn - Stan krabbelt und will nicht recht.
Der Ballon stürzt wenige Zentimeter hinter Stan in die Tiefe und Xev steht vor einer Mauer der Stadt und schaut hoch und runter ...
Fify: „So what now?"
Xev: „We climb up."
Fify: „You CAN'T, Xev!"
Xev: „Why not? Down, we will burn up in the heat and up - who knows?"
Stan: „Nononono, we should wait till nightfall."
R-Kai steht hinter Xev und legt ihr die Hand auf den Rücken. SIE schaut die Mauer hoch.
Kai nickt zu Stan.
Xev: „Whoever is here, will have found us then. And I don't know, if we want that."
Kai (näher an ihren Rücken): „I'll go with you, but ... (er schaut weg) ...it is too hot. Let us wait until it is a little bit cooler." (Dabei hat er eine sehr seltsame Mimik, DIE kennt man von dem toten Kai DEFINITIV nicht. FEIGE!)
Xev: „Heat doesn't bother me that much."
Fify: „How not?"
Xev: „Maybe, I am from a hotter place - part of me, that is ... „
Kai grinst einseitig und Xev beginnt zu klettern.
Kai: „If you wait, I'll go with you."
Xev: „No, it's okay. I don't want Stan to be alone with Fify. Stay down with Stan."
Stan: „You got that right! - Just let her go, she likes to explore!"
DAS traf zumindest auch auf den lebenden Kai zu. Vor über 6000 Jahren.
Kai geht zu Fify, der sich hingesetzt hat, und legt seinen Arm über ihn. Beschützend, Stan schaut skeptisch.
Stan: „So, you are really Kai?"
Kai/Prince: „No."
R-Kai schaut hoch, Fify nach unten.
Stan: „So why do you look like him?"
Prince: „I look like Kai, because I wanted to."
Fify: „It is a good way for him to come back."
Stan: „I am NOT talking to you, why are you answering for him?"
Fify: „Because I want to, and he looks like the dead guy, because he wants to look like the dead guy."
Stan: „You can't look like somebody because you just want to. It is not that easy."
Fify: „It is for him. After he dies, anyway."
(Kai und Fify lachen sich krumm.)
Stan: „Wait, are you guys on the same side now?"
Fify: „You finally figured it out. This Kai here and I are playing at the same team now. Only, as he said, he is not Kai."
Stan: „Who are you?"
Kai: „Prince."
Stan: „Prince who?"
Prince: „Just Prince, you know me, we met before."
Stan ist in 'Terminal' auch schon fast gestorben - da vielleicht 'auch schon getroffen'?
Prince trinkt aus seinem ‚Wasser des Lebens' und gibt es auch an Fify weiter.
Fify: „My boss now."
Stan: „You did! You put Bunny over the side!"
Fify: „You think?"
Prince und Fify lachen dreckig. Stan schaut zu Xev hoch.
Stan: „So, what is the plan?"
Fify: „So, Stanley, the plan is ...(räuspert sich)...that you take a swan-dive over the edge!"
Stan: „Haha, so what is the real plan?"
Prince legt einen Pfeil in seinen Bogen, sein letzter.
Stan: „We are stuck here together and we should help each other out."
Prince: „You are going to suffer for your sins, Stanley."
Stan: „Come on, guys, cooperate, to come out of this alive."
Prince steht auf, Fify nähert sich bedrohlich Stan und der weicht auf die Spitze des Dorns aus.
Prince: „It won't hurt, Stan. You hit the ground so hard, you won't feel a thing."
Mh, ist das nicht das Gegenteil von Kais echtem Tod? - Prince schießt - geht daneben. Stan stolpert, fällt hin.
Fify: „Oh, just missed."
Prince steht auf und kommt näher, grinst: „But the real pain will come after death!"
AUCH das trifft auf den echten Kai zu.
Stan: „What do you mean?"
Prince: „You will see. I am good with pain."
Fify: „How do you feel, Stanley? That is what you were gonna do to me: until you wiped out. There will be no wiping out this time. Do you know why? Because throwing you over the side is a feel-good experience for me, pal!"
Prince hilft mit der Spitze seines leeren Bogens nach - Stan wird immer mehr auf die dünne Dornenspitze getrieben, Fify beugt sich TIEF über ihn, der flach auf den Rücken liegt.
Stan: „Come on, guys, we can make a deal, any deal you want!"
Prince: „I already made a deal with you and you didn't keep it!"
d-Kai hingegen hält das Versprechen zu Prince, mit ihm das alte Schachspiel zu beenden. UND so hält auch Prince seinen Deal - wenn auch beide jeweils den anderen austricksten ... 
Stan: „I tried!"
Prince: „For that, you will suffer!"
Stan schreit und Xev hört es! Fify packt Stans Füße und es fehlt nicht mehr viel ...
Fify: „Bye, bye, Stanley Tweedle. It is too late, pal."
Stan: „Nonono!"
Prince: „Time to die!"
Der Tod trifft vor jedem Tod KURZ vorher ein - in Erscheinung - und DANACH als Begrüßung.
Xev rollt heran - stößt Kai/Prince aus dem Weg - der sich aber an der Kante gerade noch festhalten kann.
Fify: „Hey, you didn't have enough time to come down here."
Xev: „You were right, if I was only a human being."
Fify: „You are not a human being?"
Xev: „Not completely."
Stan: „She is only half-human."
Fify: „What other half?"
Xev: „Cluster lizard!" - und ihr schriller Schrei!
Stan tritt Fify in den Arsch und dieser fällt vom Dorn in den Tod.
Stan: „And Kai is not Kai, he is 'Prince', - pretending to be Kai."
Prince: „Don't believe him!"
Xev: „I do believe him!" - und tritt Prince auch am Kopf in den Abgrund, Prince fällt in den Dunst.
Xev: „The real Kai would have been a better kisser!"
Stan: „Thank you! I thank you, like I have never thanked you before."
Xev: „Are you the real Stan?" - tatscht ihn an die Brust.
Stan: „You wanna kiss me to find out?"
Auf die Wange - mehr nicht.
Xev: „Mh, you are, - let's go!"
Stan: „Well done."
Der echte tote Kai marschiert weiter durch die flirrende Hitze und Hölle auf den Turm der Stadt zu. Schaut hoch: das Ziel ist fern, aber in Sicht!

3.06 - K-Town

Xev und Stan schauen beide den Dorn herunter in die Wüste.
Stan: „So I can't see Kai."
Xev: „Neither do I, we are too far up."
Stan: „I have to get out of this sun REAL soon."
Xev: „Yeah, so up or down?"
Stan: „I'd rather go down."
Xev: „But it is getting hotter there and cooler if we go up."
Stan: „Yes, we go up!"
Xev macht Räuberleiter und Stan kraxelt hoch.
Aber es dauert nicht lange, bis Stan die Luft ausgeht.
Stan: „I can't do it!"
Xev: „Yes, you can, - give me your hand!"
Stan: „No, this is it for me! I can't do it! All this climbing is not exactly cooling me off."
Xev: „Yes, I know, give me your hand! Let's keep going!"
Stan: „I am not part cluster lizard, I need a rest. I'll be okay in a while."
Xev: „No, you won't, you will be dead! We have to get you out of the heat. Come on!"
Stan: „It's okay, it's okay, just give me a minute."
Xev weiter oben findet einen lockeren Stein und damit einen Einstieg in den Turm! Stan: „Who is in there?"
Xev: „I don't know, but it is definitely cooler in there!" - Sie macht eine breitere Öffnung und kraxelt mit den Beinen voraus hinein, Stan schafft es auch - 'fällt' aber eher.
Xev: „Coming?"
Stan: „Do I have to?"
Xev: „No."
Stan: „Why not stay here and wait for Kai? Look thru the hole?"
Xev: „We are on the wrong side of the leg."
Stan: „He will find us somehow. I KNOW - let's just wait."
Xev: „He may find us - or not. You can stay here, if you like. I explore on my own."
Stan: „Maybe I won't."
Xev: „Yes, you will! I check out the things around us and will be right back!"
Sie zwickt Stan in Wange wie einem trotzigen Kind.
Stan: „Okay, just go, I will rest! - Bye, Xev."
Xev: „Bye!"
Stan: „Don't go too far."
Xev: „I won't."
Stan: „I really think, we should stay together."
Xev: „Then come with me."
Stan: „Why she always does that to me? She will never, never, never ... learn. She goes off, somebody comes on, tries to eat me ..."
Kai schreitet durch die flimmernde Hölle.
Stan stapft nun auch durch die Trümmer, nimmt einen Stein auf - alles wirkt wie ein Termitenhaufen - Baustelle, - verschlungene Gänge. Stan ruft nach Xev. Und dann taucht da diese junge Frau in Fetzen auf.
Tish: „Who is Xev? - I am Tish, who is Xev?"
Tish ist die deutsche Schauspielerin aus ‚Anke - die Show' mit Anke Engelke, die die dumme Sekretärin spielte. Thin ist der Deutsche, der den Produzenten von Anke spielte!
Stan: „She is a woman, dressed in a cluster lizard outfit. I kind of lost track of her, I am out to find her."
Tish: „I can help you."
Stan: „You saying that makes me feel kind of nervous. In the past, when somebody said, they want to help me out, usually meant they wanted to try to eat my brain or something like that. You hadn't that in mind, do you?"
Tish: „I said, I can help you, come on, I won't rip your head off..."
Stan: „Thanks. - Okay, wait!"
Stan gelangt im Kielwasser von Tish zu einer Horde selbstversunkener Verzweifelter, einer tritt in einer Art Laufrad, einer feilt seine Nägel mit einer Metall-Säge, kratzt sich dabei die Finger blutig. Tish lässt Stan links liegen - kümmert sich nicht mehr.
Stan: „So, can I help you?"
Alle gucken ihn plötzlich sehr skeptisch und unfreundlich an.
Stan: „No. - Well, nice place you got here. - XEV! You are Xev?"
Xev tritt aus seinem Seitengang, aber auch sie wirkt irgendwie feindselig und kühl gegenüber Stan.
Xev: „You wanna kiss me?"
Hier ist schon alles auf 'The Key - Folge 3.08' ausgerichtet, wo u.a. auch Kai hinter Prince Fassade kommt, weil er Xev ausgiebig antestet mit Küssen! Verwechslungsspiele!
Stan: „Yeah!"
Xev hält ihm aber im letzten Moment die Wange hin.
Stan: „You are Xev! - This people, are they dangerous?"
Xev: „I don't think so, but I couldn't get much out of them, they are not very 'direct'."
(Aussage: Jeder leidet für sich - selbstfixiert!)
Thin (ironisch): „THANK you, for 'helping' us."
Stan: „Helping, how? How did we help you?"
Xev: „'Helping' - what do you mean?"
Thin: „I don't have to explain that, do I?"
Stan: „Yeah, if you don't mind!"
Thin: „I do mind a lot."
Stan und Xev ziehen sich vorsichtig zurück.
Stan: „What is going on with this people?"
Junger Mann (nenne ihn mal Y): „What a secret conference!" - Hinter ihm in einem Käfig rappelt eine Frau - und nickt feindlich.
Xev (erklärt Y): „No, just who you are, where we are, what this place is about."
Y: „Well, what about, who you are...what you want? We were just fine here, until you two came along to 'help' us."
Mh, spricht er hier auch wieder mal an Kai's Statt? Wenn die beiden nicht seinen Weg gekreuzt hätten, hätte er seine Erinnerungen nie zurück bekommen - und würde im Attentäter-Nirwana herumlaufen - ohne sich zu quälen mit seinem 'Bewusstsein'.
Stan: „What are you talking about?"
Y: „I don't know, you do all this 'helping', so YOU tell me."- Oder aber: alle, denen die Lexx-Besatzung je helfen wollte, waren zum Tod verurteilt! - Klassischer Schuss nach hinten!
Xev: „We are not here to help you."
Y: „That was pretty obvious from the beginning. right?"
Xev: „Look, we know, you don't like us."
Thin: „Says who?"
Xev: „I don't know, the way you act, the way you talk to us - your whole attitude!"
Thin: „Excuse me, you should improve your attitude first before you criticise our's."
Stan zu Tish: „Tish, what's going on here?"
Er findet sie weinend auf einer Treppe wieder und will sie trösten.
Tish: „Don't touch me!"
Stan: „No, I was not ..."
Tish: „...trying to touch me, that's what you tried to do, don't you?" 
Stan: „Nonono..."
Tish: „Don't think, you can just talk your way out of this!"
Stan: „I thought, that you were..."
Tish steht auf und ruft zu allen: „He was trying to touch me!"
Thin: „We saw it!"
Stan: „Look, I don't know what's going on. I don't want to be part of it anymore."
Xev stellt sich beschützend hinter Stan, zwischen ihn und die Masse, die mittlerweile Waffen einsammelt, Trümmer und Stangen, die herum liegen.
Thin zu Stan und seinem Stein in der Hand: „What is that rock for?"
Stan: „Oh, just have it in my hand."
Thin hebt eine Stange vom Boden auf: „I just have this in my hand."
Stan zu Xev: „Now what?"
Y: „Welcome to K-Town!" (Mh, 'Kai' - Town?)
Y: „Come on, tough guy, swing a bit - with your rock!"
Stan: „Xev?"
Xev: „RUN!"
Und das tun sie auch - durch die Gänge und dann durch eine kleine Öffnung, durch die Stan aber hinter Xev kaum durchpasst, er wird von hinten festgehalten. (So wie Kai in der Welt der Lebenden? - Auch er hat den Übergang nicht geschafft.) Xev zieht Stan an seinem Arm zu ihr, mit dem Felsen schlägt Stan hinter sich. Dann machen sie ein Gitter davor: Rückweg ist verschlossen.
Mantrid tritt auf: lauscht auf das Zappeln einer Kakerlake und frisst sie dann auf.
Xev und Stan auf Weg durch die Gänge, finden Mantrid, der sich aber nicht an sie erinnert. Xev und Stan fliehen weiter, als sie Lärm hinter sich hören. Mantrid lauscht auf den Klang seines eigenen Namens. Xev und Stan inzwischen machen eine atemlose Pause.
Stan: „What was that about? How can Mantrid be here?"
Xev: „This whole place makes no sense."
Stan: „Where do we go?"
Xev: „Where they are not!"
Mh, eine Aussage über das 'Leben nach dem Tod'. - Xev will in den echten Himmel ... Aber die Gestalten kommen von allen Seiten. Die beiden fliehen auf einen schmalen Steg über einen Abgrund und werden von beiden Seiten eingekesselt.
 Xev: „Keep going, don't look down. Keep going!"
Thin: „We took the easy way around - time to teach you some manners!"
Stan: „Where is Kai, when you really need him!"
Zurück auf die Mitte des Steges.
Kai kommt gerade in der Stadt an, hangelt sich auf einen Stachel der Stadt hoch.
Als Mantrid von oben eine Leiter herunter lässt. - 'Jacob's Ladder'.
Thin: „Get some rocks!"
Tish: „No!"
Thin: „You brought the outsiders here!"
Tish: „No, I didn't!"
Thin: „She brought them here!"
Und schon hat der Mob ein neues Opfer gefunden - Tish rennt davon - alle anderen hinterher.
Stan erschrickt, als er Mantrid am oberen Ende der Leiter sieht. Mantrid ermöglicht ihnen also den Eintritt in eine höhere Sphäre oder 'Rettung'? Mantrid erinnert sich nicht ... alle stellen sich nun mit Titeln vor: Xev of B3K, Stan ehemaliger Kurier / Wachmann, und nun Captain der Lexx.
Xev: „Mantrid, arms and legs and body and all."
Stan: „This is one of your games, isn't it?"
Mantrid: „I don't know, perhaps it is a game. GAME!" - Der Gedanke gefällt ihm.
Xev: „Who are they?"
Mantrid: „They are downstairs, so they must be the people who are downstairs!"
Stan: „So you really don't know, who Mantrid is?"
Mantrid: „NO!"
Xev: „Have you seen Kai?"
Stan: „Yeah, he should have been around here by now."
Mantrid: „Who is Kai?"
Stan: „He is the dead guy in black, who walks around."
Xev: „He was an assassin of the divine Order - and you the chief bio vizier, greatest who ever lived, - you said. Kai was yours!"
Mantrid weint.
Xev: „So, Mantrid, how did you get here?"
Mantrid: „I woke up."
Kai findet derweil dieselbe Öffnung, durch die auch Stan und Xev in das Innere gelangt waren. Und folgt ihren Spuren. Tish versteckt sich inzwischen hinter einer Art Lore. Aber Thin findet sie und setzt seinen Stock an ihren Hals.
Thin: „Why have you bring them."
Tish: „I didn't!"
Thin: „After all what I have done for you. And that is the thank I get?"
Tish: „'Done for you'? Thin? Did you realize what I put up with, just the side of your face makes me want to throw up! You are fooly, you are a coward and always has been and you disgust me, make believe?"...
Thin: „You are going to die!"
Kai schreitet mit seinem Enterhaken ein und entwendet Thin die Stange. Der Mob rennt weg - dann steigt Kai die Stufe zu Tish herunter und hilft ihr auf.
Tish: „Thank you!"
Kai: „You are welcome."
Kai schaut sie nachdenklich an, wendet sich dann aber ab und will gehen. Tish überholt ihn und stellt sich in den Weg.
Tish: „I suppose, you feel better now?"
Kai: „No."
Tish: „Yes, you do, you did your big rescue thing on my, so that you feel better."
Kai: „No, I do not feel."
Tish: „Oh, yeah, I believe that! - I bet you go around to rescue people and think you do them a big giant favour. And expect, that they be all happy and grateful about it. Let's face it: you don't do it for their happiness. You do it, so that YOU can feel better yourself."
Kai etwas überrascht von soviel Feindseligkeit: „I do not feel good. I do not feel better. I am dead. And I do not feel any...(Kai schaut weg)...thing! Ever!"
Er sagt NICHT ‚the dead' - und eben WEIL er von sich spricht, ist es vielleicht nicht die ganze Wahrheit, nicht 100%, ist er ‚kaputt'? Das Stocken wie von einer kaputten Schallplatte. Kai ist selbst verwirrt über diese Fehlfunktion und schaut Tish überrascht an. Dann lässt er Tish einfach stehen.
Tish: „Nice try, Mr. Hey, I am not finished with you yet!"
Mh, warum gerade an dieser Stelle die Fehlfunktion? Hat es DOCH etwas mit dem zu tun, was sie ihm vorwirft?
Kai zögert, wankt dann aber weiter durch den Gang - wankend, stoppt kurz - als würde ihm der Antrieb fehlen.
Tish: „Hey, look at me, when I am talking to you!" - Aber Kai entschwindet - und so wendet sich Tish wieder ihren versteckten Leuten zu.
Tish: „Hey, Thin, creepy repulsive little cowards. It is save to crawl out of the shadow now! - run, run away from the bad man. Right around in the corner. You don't scare me a bit: You are far too pathetic."
Kai stürzt aus einem Gang heraus, fällt hin, Beine knicken einfach weg, Arme sind verdreht, er stöhnt - zappelt. Nach dem Aufstehen sieht er kurz 'menschlich' aus - die Mimik, bevor er wieder 'Kai' wird und weiter läuft.
Xev stellt sich an ein Fenster und ruft heraus: „Kai, we are up here!"
Stan: „Hey, I don't think, that is such a good idea."
Xev: „Any others...?"
Aber Stan hat natürlich keine.
Stan: „So, Mantrid, badest person who ever lived...if you are YOU."
Also, wenn die schlimmsten Fälle allerdings für Princes Stadt reserviert sind, wie diese in der Folge 3.13 behauptet, dann KANN Mantrid nicht der Allerschlimmste oder böseste Mensch gewesen sein! Denn K-Town ist damit NICHT für die schlimmsten Fälle reserviert und Stan soll SCHLIMMER gewesen sein als Mantrid. Neh, also so nicht ...
Mantrid: „What do you mean?"
Stan: „Well, there used to be two universes, until you destroyed one, all the people, the planets, the stars...you killed everyone. And that universe was a lot better than this one."
Mantrid: „When was that?"
Xev: „Before you woke up!"
Stan: „Long ago, exactly 4000 years ago!"
Xev: „You destroyed the light universe, was also part insect and part machine."
Die drei wandern durch einen langen, recht einsamen Gang.
Stan: „Xev killed you!"
Mantrid hebt Xevs Hand zu seinem Kopf.
Mantrid: „Am I dead?"
Xev: „I don't think so, I think you are alive."
Stan: „So, Mantrid, - answering us some questions. For instance: what is going on, what do YOU do here? „
Mantrid: „I don't know."
Stan: „You have been here all along, since you woke up?"
Mantrid: „I don't know, perhaps it is my punishment."
Mantrid läuft ziemlich steif durch die Gegend, die Arme meistens in seiner Kutte versteckt - ganz in Schwarz - wie Kai. - Da fallen plötzlich Steine von oben - Tish, Thin und Co. haben die drei aufgespürt. 
Stan: „The down stair-people."
Mantrid: „Except now they are upstairs."
Stan rennt in eine Höhle, - stolpert in den Abgrund - Xev hinter ihm her um ihn zu unterstützen - retten. Mantrid findet einen anderen Weg - weiter nach oben.
Xev: „Are you hurt?"
Stan: „No, no, thanks."
Xev dirigiert zu einer Art Unterstand, der ein bisschen Schutz vor den Felsen bietet.
Xev kämpferisch: „You wanna fight? Come down here and fight me!"
Xev nimmt Stan in Arm und versucht ihn zu trösten.
Stan: „Completely crazy place, two planets. They have no sense at all!"
Xev streicht ihm tröstend über den Rücken / Nacken/ Arm.
Stan: „Oh, that feels good! That is the first nice feeling for a long time!"
Komisch, hat er Boomtown schon so schnell vergessen? DAS ist so lange noch nicht her! Aber das ist wohl ein weiterer Hinweis auf vertauschte Reihenfolgen von Episoden.
Xev: „It's been hard going for us, Stanley."
Stan: „Yeah! And Xev..."
Xev: „What?"
Stan: „How we ever gonna get from this planet? I mean, all I wanna do is, go back to the Lexx, I mean, how ever we be able ..."
Xev: „Maybe they have balloons on this city. We have to find one, somehow."
Stan: „I don't think, we will find one, - I don't think, they exactly are going to hand it over to us."
Xev: „Yeah, I guess, you are right."
Sie schaukeln sich gegenseitig tröstend hin und her.
Stan: „You know, Xev, you are really okay. Don't know, I ever told you that before. I know, what you think of me, but you really are okay, you are special, - in a cluster lizard kind of way."
Xev: „You are not all bad yourself, Stanley H. Tweedle."
Sie gibt ihm einen kleinen Kuss auf die Wange und drückt ihn, da fallen erneut Steine auf sie.
Xev wütend: „Hey, what has happened to you people, answer me!"
Thin: „I just hit!"
Xev: „No, you didn't!"
Thin: „I won't repeat my answer."
Xev zeigt sich kämpferisch, als dann auch noch Kai von hinten ankommt, laufen die Leute schnell weg - auch ohne seine Waffe zücken zu müssen!
Mantrid schaut von oben zu, wie Kai in der Öffnung steht und wankt.
Stan: „Kai, we were just talking about you."
Kai: „HELP - YOU - ARE ....!" er singt es wie in einer Arie - und schlittert dann den Abhang zu Xev und Stan herunter.
Xve: „What is wrong with your voice?"
Kai versucht alleine aufzustehen, aber das schafft er nicht mehr ...
Xev: „What is wrong?"
Kai: „System damage. Too many of my systems from my first jump down from the Lexx on the planet 'Water'. The damage seams to be progressing!"
Dabei schaut er abwechselnd auf Stan und Xev.
Xev: „Oh no!"
Stan: „Look, what exactly is wrong with you?"
Kai: „That you have to determine ..." Dabei schaut er beide abwechselnd um 'Hilfe' an.
Xev: „How?"
Kai: „I will guide you."
Mh, DAS ist während der ganzen Lexx-Serie gewesen: Kai führt sie zu Orten - hilft ihnen, leitet sie bei Problemen an ... und am Schluss finden sie ja auch heraus, was ihm fehlt: seine Lebensessenz. Und um ihm zu helfen, müssen sie ihn FALLEN lassen --- loslassen im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes. Und auch da wieder: Kai muss 'zweimal' fallen, zweimal sterben - zweimal leiden ...
Beide helfen Kai auf.
Stan: „Look, there is no chance, that you completely broke? A non-functional assassin of the Divine Order? I mean, you are indestructible."
Kai hebt Finger: „I am hard to destroy, but I am NOT indestructible."
Sie entkleideten ihn und sind beim letzten Stück angekommen, dem Lendenschutz - Xev entfernt es und darunter eine Apparatur --- ansonsten ist Kai 'nackt' - aber alles Weiß/Grau - hager, eckig, kantig - und hier und da überall Cyborg-Implantate.
Xev: „I always wondered if..."
Kai: „What?"
Xev: „If you still have your...
Stan: „...equipment..."
Xev: „Yes."
Kai: „I have a lot of equipment, as you can see. But it is not all ... functional!"
Auch Kai schaut auf sein Gerät im Schritt - und dann verdreht er die Augen - es geht ihm NICHT gut.
Xev: „Will this take long?"
Kai: „I don't know, it depends on the extent of the damage."
Xev: „What do we do?"
Kai: „First you have to remove my control rods."
Xev: „Where are your control rods?"
Kai: „There between my legs." Er deutet auf seinen Schritt, wo normalerweise sein 'Equipment' wäre. Tja, alle Männer sind 'schwanzgesteuert'.
Xev: „Okay, remove power and control rods ... how?" - scheint ihr peinlich zu sein.
Kai: „Turn and pull."
Xev: „Turn and pull, okay."
Stan: „Hope this does not take long! We need you walking around, Kai!"
Kais Geräte: Der Enterhaken fest mit seinen Muskeln integriert am Arm, auch über Schläuche, dann an dem linken Bein und dem linken Arm auch noch was - Verstärkungen (intern) - dann an seiner Seite, wo mal eine Niere lag? Dann zentral an der Stelle des Herzens - da steckt auch der Schlauch zur Infusion von Protoblut. Dann die Noppen auf der anderen Seite der Brust. Xev entfernt den ersten Stab - Kai fängt an zu zittern / beben, zischen, stöhnen.
Xev: „Does this hurt?"
Kai: „No..."
Stan: „The dead don't feel pain, right?"
Kai schüttelt verneinend den Kopf - aber hey, es sieht VERDAMMT danach aus, das es unangenehm ist! Schmerzverzerrtes Gesicht!!! Und er schaut nicht Xev, oder Stan dabei an! Das ist ein Zeichen für eine Lüge?

Der Mob am Ausgang der Höhle hat kein Material mehr.
Thin: „We need more stuff to throw down on them. A lot. Why don't go and get one."
Tish: „Why don't you?"
Thin: „You can't motivate anybody on this place to do anything!" - DAS dürfte wohl auch der Grund sein, warum Prince hier nicht herrscht - wenn er keine Motivationen anstacheln kann, dann kann er die Leute nicht zu IRGEND ETWAS bewegen - und das gilt eben auch für Kai!
Y: „Is that a new discovery?"
Thin denkt nach.
Tish: „Thin, did I ever tell you, how much you bore me?"
Thin: „I go and get my own rocks!"
Y: „You do that!"
Thin: „Watch me."
Tish: „We will."
Mh, eine eigene 'Serie' bekommen? - Oder ist der Vergleich dann doch etwas zu weit her geholt?

Xev: „So it turned out, that the living Kai in the balloon had nothing to do with you. He just looked like you. On the outside."
Kai stöhnt und atmet schwer --- mh, soviel zum TOTsein.
Stan: „Yeah, but on the inside it was 100% Prince."
Kai: „So where is he now?"
Xev: „Dead, we pushed him off the thorn."
Stan: „Yeah, definitely dead."
Kai: „Once you removed the last rod, I will stop working completely."
Xev: „How will I know, what to do then?"
Kai: „After you have removed the last rod, you must put them in the matching slots on my chest."
Xev: „This ones?"
Auf der anderen Seite - nicht am Ex-Herzen.
Kai: „Then I will be able to diagnose my condition. I contain many micro-biological, mechanical systems. They ..."
Xev hat den letzten Draht rausgezogen und wieder fliegen Steine. Kai ist bewusstlos - stoppt mitten im Satz - wie tot.
Stan: „I think we have to hurry."
Kai beginnt zu beben, als der erste Draht in der Brust steckt.
Xev: „Kai? I did it right? I get it right?!"
Seine Maschinerie im Schritt beginnt zu zischen und zu rauchen. ... das sieht nicht gut aus.
Stan: „Hurry!"
Xev: „And do what?"
Stan: „I don't know, something."
Weiter fliegen die Steine. Mantrid kommt zum Mob und schaut auf die drei herunter.
Mantrid: „Hello, I finally know, who I am! I am the greatest bio vizier who ever lived. I destroyed a universe!"
Thin (sarcastic): „That is nice. I am really happy for you."
Mantrid: „HE was mine."
Thin: „Who?"
Mantrid: „That ... down there. The dead man in black."
Thin: „Why don't you just go off and do that crazy vizier-thing somewhere else? - We have work to do!"
Mantrid: „May I throw some rocks, too?"
Mantrid hockt sich hin.
Thin: „Sure, fine, as long as you don't waste them."
Mantrid: „I won't."
Mantrid wirft auf die Angreifer ein paar Steine- die verziehen sich schnell - dann klettert Mantrid zu den drei Lexx-Leuten herunter.
Mantrid: „I am the greatest bio vizier who ever lived."
Damit beugt er sich über Kai und schnuppert .. komisch, dass das immer alle machen, im Lexx-Universum - um einen Zustand herauszufinden!
Mantrid: „What is a bio vizier?"
Stan: „Someone who knows everything about biology and who worked for the Divine Order."
Mantrid: „He is mine. I will fix him."
Xev: „Do you know, what to do?"
Mantrid: „No, but if I was the greatest bio vizier who ever lived, I should be able to learn quickly. Don't you think?"
Xev: „He told us to remove the rods from here into the matching slots on his chest here ... (alles, was doppelt wiederholt wird bedeutet: es ist wichtig) - ... micro-systems, that ... well, than he stopped talking."
Mantrid: „You said to put them in here, correct?"
Stan: „That's what caused this to happen."
Nach und nach werden die Drähte reingesteckt - nur noch einer fehlt und Kai ist schon wieder recht munter - und fast bei Bewusstsein.
Xev: „He said to put them in the MATCHING slots."
Mantrid will aber lieber herumexperimentieren - und steckt den letzten in eine Öffnung in der Herzgegend.
Mantrid: „Jajajajaaja!"
Stan: „That is the wrong one, what did you do that for?"
Mantrid: „To see, what happens. I am Mantrid."
Kai ist jetzt ganz ruhig geworden, Kopf leicht zu Stan hin und dann schaut er Mantrid direkt in die Augen.
Mantrid: „Hello, Kai!"
Kai: „Hello, bio vizier." - langer Augenkontakt.
Kai: „I ... am ... an...assassin... and YOU ... must be ... cleansed!"
Damit schießt er auf Mantrid. Der taumelt nach hinten an eine Wand (wo er beinahe noch Mikes Lendenschutz herunterreißt hehhehehe - der schafft es aber noch, sein bestes Stück vor der Kamera zu verstecken! GERADE eben.)
Mantrid: „I destroyed a universe, a universe - and my punishment is over - for now. Good bye - see you?"
Kai schaut von Stan und Xev weg - hebt seine Fletsche und beginnt langsam auf die beiden zu zielen: „I...am...an...assassin."
Er legt auf Stan / Xev an - Stan hält Kais Arm fest, während Xev sich an der falschen Verdrahtung zu schaffen macht.
Stan: „Hurry up, I can't hold him!"
Kai sinkt wieder in sich zusammen, als der Draht an der richtigen Stelle in der Brust steckt.
Kai: „...they collectively associate my body to perform many duplicate functions. I contain many micro-biological ... (hier wiederholt sich der ganze Satz von oben!)
In dieser Folge wird praktisch JEDER Satz zweimal wiederholt.
Xev: „That is Mantrid." beantwortet Xev ihm die ungestellte Frage, als Kai die Leiche an der Wand sieht.
Stan: „Yeah, you just killed him."
(Lächelt Kai da kurz? Dann kommt Programmiercode in seine Augen / Selbstdiagnose läuft!)
Kai: „My primary micro-systems have a specific 'polarity', they were apparently damaged, when I first crashed onto the planet 'Water'!" - FIRST heisst, es gab noch einen anderen Fall?
Das ergibt NUR Sinn, wenn sein zweiter Fall ins Meer noch dazu gerechnet wird - Tatsache ist, dass er in einer Folge NACH seiner Reparatur sagt, seine Fletsche würde nicht richtig funktionieren ! - DAS kann aber nur sein, wenn jene Folge eigentlich inhaltlich VOR der jetzigen gewesen wäre!
Stan: „Which means?"
Kai: „That I am out of alignment."
Kai scheint etwas peinlich berührt zu sein. Dabei dreht er selbst an den Drähten herum - soll das seine Diagnose unterstützen?
Stan: „Can we fix them? I mean you?"
Kai: „That, you have to determine."
Xev: „How?"
Kai: „First you must return the control rods to their original position." (DAS gilt ja wohl auch für seine Seele!)
Stan: „I don't know about you, Xev, but I am not put to this level of stress." - Es fliegen wieder Steine. - Kai schaut Stan an.
Stan: „I know, I know, the dead don't feel stress."
Kai: „Yes, but the dead DO go out of alignment."
(Xev zieht die Stecker aus der Brust wieder raus. - Der Mob wirft weiter Felsen, als Xev und Stan anfangen, Kai anzukleiden - Stan mit den Fetzen für die Arme - und Xev an den Beinen.)

Thin: „We are running out of rocks. - Your turn."
Y: „How about: I don't feel like it."
Tish: „I don't either."
Thin: „They are getting away again."
Y: „How about: I just started to help, but than I felt unappreciated and I lost my energy."
Tish: „Unloved!" - und lacht schallend.
Y: „What are you laughing at?"

Stan: „How do we get out of this pit?"
Xev: „Climbing!"
Stan: „With Kai?"
Xev: „With Kai, yes!"
Xev bewegt Kais Beine vom Tisch herunter - Stan hilft mit dem Oberkörper - aber Kai kippt nur auf sein Gesicht in den Staub - dann schieben beide ihn hoch zu der Schrägen, dem Ausgang.
Stan: „Oh, come on, come on."
Stan lehnt ihn an die Mauer.
Stan: „I bet, they will blast us with rocks! As soon as we got half way up!"
Xev holt einen Blecheimer, auf den sie Kais Fuß setzt - als Stütze.
Xev: „What are we gonna do? Give up?"
Stan schiebt Kai von unten: „Kai, did I tell you, that you are really, really heavy!"
Kai: „I am de-carbonized."
Stan: „One, two, three, - push."
Kai versucht zwar mitzuhelfen, aber kann es nicht so wirklich ...
Y: „Wow you people are really impressive."
Tish: „Just love that 'can do' - attitude."
Xev zieht Kai in den oberen Bereich.
Y: „When you get up here, can you please take me out of this place too?"
Xev: „Can you give me your hand?"
Y: „No."
Xev: „You are really helpful."
Tish: „He never has been and never will be."
Y: „But I can step on your fingers! - Hey she got my leg!"
Tish: „Right, she got YOUR leg, not mine."
Und darauf stößt Tish ihn herunter.
Stan: „One, two, three, PUSH. - Almost there - you people are completely useless. In every way!"
Tish: „What a cutting remark, you must be the king of it, ha?"
Dann schaffen Stan und Xev es, Kai über die Kante zu hieven.
Y: „Don't bother to try to escape from here. Nobody ever has, nobody ever will.
Tish: „You got that right."
Und dann wird sie von Thin selbst in den Abgrund gestoßen!
Xev und Stan schaffen Kai an ein Fenster ...
Stan: „Well, it looks like as good a spot as any."
Kai sinkt auf den Boden, Xev hilft ihm wieder auf.
Xev: „Are you sure, this is the right solution?"
Kai: „No, but it is the only one."
Dann helfen die beiden ihn aus einer Grätsche hoch in ein Liegen auf der Brüstung.
Stan: „How can you land right? You can hardly move!"
Kai: „I still have some limited motor control. The drop will take time. - I will attempt to modify my landing position during my descent."
Xev: „Attempt?"
Kai: „I will do my best!"
Kai versucht von alleine aufzustehen, geht nicht.
Stan: „Okay, and then you come right back up and rescue us, alright?"
Kai: „If I return to normal functionality, I will return immediately to rescue you."
Stan (erschrocken): „There is someone there, up here."
Xev: „Where?"
Beide schauen nach Innen in den Schatten - aber Kai schaut hinter sich - in den Abgrund.
Xev: „I can't see anything."
Stan: „I did, I am sure, I did! - Xev, lets hurry!"
Xev: „Which side you should land on?"
Kai: „My left side."
Stan: „Hurry, Xev, there is somebody up here."
- Sure you, Kai, I hope this works!"
Kai: „It should be..."
Xev: „I hope it works too!"
Sie legen Kai seitlich auf die Brüstung.
Kai: „I suggest, that you don't delay any further." - mh, ist er SAUER?
Stan: „Okay!"
Xev: „Good luck, Kai!"
Dann werfen sie ihn herunter.
Stan: „Did you see, which side he was going down on?"
Xev: „I couldn't tell." - Beide schauen weiter angestrengt herunter.
Stan: „Did you see, how he landed?"
Xev: „No."
Stan: „I bet, he landed just fine. I bet every bit is already working in him. He gonna be on his way up here any second."
Kai kracht auch wirklich mit ziemlicher Wucht in eine Sanddüne am Fuß der Stadt, aber er wankt noch bedrohlich - als er sich aufrappelt. Kullert eine Düne herunter vor einen landenden Ballon, dessen Insassen ihn auch gleich schnappen - Kai versucht seine Waffe scharf zu machen, es geht aber nicht.
Xev und Stan sitzen immer noch oben und warten.
Xev: „Look!"
Stan: „What?"
Xev: „A balloon. - I don't know, Stan, if he had landed right, he would have been back up here by now, don't you think?"

Kai: „I must return to the top!"
Gestalt: „Why?"
Kai: „My micro-systems are still not properly aligned."
Gestalt: „You come with us."
Kai: „I must return to Stan and Xev!"
Mh, komisch, normalerweise ist er NICHT so motiviert !

Stan und Xev sehen dem Ballon zu, wie er wieder steigt und zu einer Nachbarstadt schwebt 
Stan: „It is landing in that city. - Where are you going?"
Xev: „To that city!"
Stan: „How will you get there?"
Xev: „I don't know, - somehow!"
Dann taucht eine Gestalt aus dem Schatten auf.
Xev: „Prince!"
Dieser grinst beide an - Stan kommt hinzu.

3.07 - Tunnels

Xev: „Well, Prince, I suppose, that is your new city?"
Prince: „Where?"
Xev: „Over there, where the balloon is taking Kai?"
Prince: „That is not one of my balloons."
Mh, Kai befindet sich also NICHT in den Fängen des 'Todes'.
Prince: „And that city over there is Hooktown, I am not ruler there."
Stan: „Why not?"
Prince: „Because I don't like it!"
(Mh, das wäre auch ein Hinweis darauf, dass Hooktown die Stadt der 'Ex-Brunnen-G' ist - wie auch die Turbane dort schon andeuten ??? Und der Typ, der das BG-Lied singt? Die BG hatten immerhin den Tod 'besiegt' - also herrscht 'Prince' dort nicht.)
Prince: „THAT is my new city. It is a lot like the old one. Nothing is much changing here."
Stan: „Mh, well, we don't believe you."
Prince: „If the balloon was one of mine, it would have picked me up, - don't you agree?"
Dabei streicht er Stan über die Wange.
Xev: „What about here? Do you rule this place too?"
Prince: „No, it is far too unruly. I am a visitor here, just like you." - Unregierbar WEIL die Leute hier keine Motivation haben - also wie 'Kai' sind - also K(!)-Town.
Stan: „Boy, I don't trust you!"
Prince: „I am not trustworthy!"
Stan nickt.

Der Ballon ist kurz vor der Stadt angekommen, Kai wird befragt. Die Handlanger werden von einem Typen in Schwarz mit Turban befehligt, so eine Art 'Captain' oder Beamter? Kai wird hochgehoben, hängt wie ein nasser Sack, der Schwarze misst seine Beinlänge aus.
Turban: „Thank you."
Die Helfer lassen Kai wieder fallen. In eine Ecke - sitzend, zusammenfallend, die Turbangestalt notiert sich jede Kleinigkeit.
Turban: „Sire, I must ask you, how is it, that you are alive?"
Kai: „I am not alive."
Turban zu Helfern: „Leg..."
Die Helfer verdrehen Kais Bein - zunächst normal, dann mit deutlichem Krachen auf über 180 Grad.
Turban: „Sir, does that cause you pain?"
Kai: „No." - Weiteres Verdrehen.
Turban: „That?"
Kai: „No."
Turban: „The arm." - der Arm ist dran - Knochen krachen.
Turban: „That?"
Kai: „The dead do not feel pain."
Immerhin scheint der Turban seinen Job NICHT zu genießen, er verzieht beim Krachen immer das Gesicht ... 
Turban: „Sir, who threw you off the edge?"
Kai: „My friends! - Where are you taking me?"
Kai wird sauer.
Turban: „You have now been procured. We must process your claim!"
Kai ist eindeutig NICHT begeistert.
(Tunnel = Nah-Tod-Erlebnis? Oder Geburtskanal? Weg zum Licht???)

Stan: „It is his balloon. I am sure of it!"
Xev: „How?"
Stan: „Well, as he said, he is NOT trustworthy. If he says its his balloon, I say it's not!"
Prince hört zu: „So, Xev, what about a kiss? Look, the balloon has landed on Hooktown."
Stan: „So that hot-town place, is it dangerous?"
Prince: „No - yes ..." (dreht sich zu beiden um) ...It is not their action, that kills you, but the process will certainly finish him off!"
(MH, das macht mich nachdenklich - Zum einen stimmt das sehr mit den Brunnen-G überein - auch sie haben NICHT selbst Hand angelegt, Kai mit dem Tod zu bestrafen --- statt dessen wird ihn die 'Entwicklung, der Verlauf" fertig machen - eine Wortspielerei mit dem Wort für 'Prozess' im Englischen. UND Hook - heißt: Haken. Sie haben Kai am Haken ... wie kommt er da wieder raus? So wie ihn der 'Nicht-Tod' am Haken hat.
Xev: „Whatever, they have Kai, so we have to got there and get him."
Prince: „How?"
Stan: „It doesn't matter how we get there, what really matters: we have to go to the Lexx first, where it is save!"
Prince: „How?"
Stan: „I don't know - somehow."
Prince: „Perhaps you could spread wings and fly. Can you do that?"
Stan: „No."
Prince: „Well, neither can I:"
Stan: „Well, that is a relief."
Prince: „So, here we are: Stanley and Xev and me, - stuck together. - So, I think, it is time for us to make a deal to help each other out. One, that works for us all."
Stan: „You are not gonna help us, and that's for sure."
Xev: „And why should we help you?"
Prince: „My, you want Kai, let me see, what do I want: always the same thing: destroy the planet 'Water'. So I will agree to taking you to Kai, and you agree helping me to destroy the planet 'Water', with you ship, the Lexx."
Stan: „Nonononono, you said it yourself, you are NOT trustworthy."
Prince: „True, but I never break my deals."
Xev: „How will you bring us to Kai?"
Prince: „I know a way to Hooktown."
Stan: „Yeah, you already told us: spread wings and fly."
Prince: „A real one."
Xev: „Do you have a balloon?"
Prince: "No."
Stan: „So we can't fly and walk across that. The heat will gonna kill us. You don't have any way."
Prince: „I do."
Stan: „Okay, what is it?"
Xev läuft unruhig um Prince und Stan herum, im Gegenuhrzeigersinn.
Prince: „Do we have a deal? - Stanley, once you were willing to destroy the planet Water for the sake of a woman, you thought, you would love. - Xev DOES love Kai! Destroy it for her - as a gift."
Xev: „No!" - sie denkt aber trotzdem darüber nach - eine Weile.
Prince: „No what?"
Xev: „No, we are not going to make a deal!"
Prince: „Why not?"
Xev: „Because you don't know a way how to get to Kai!"
Prince: „I do!"
Stan: „He is lying."
Prince: „I may be bad, but I always stick to my deals and very rarely ever lie. It is much more fun to tell the truth."
Xev: „So if you DO know a way to get to Kai, we can find it, too!"
Prince: „Good luck!" - Er geht, dreht sich dann aber nochmals um: „I don't really mean that!"
Xev: „Of course not!"
Stan: „So, how are we going to find Kai?"
Xev: „I walk across the desert!"
Stan: „Right, and die in the process..."
DAS ist genau das, was Prince auch über Hooktown sagte: man stirbt DURCH den Vorgang!!
Stan: „Come on, not even you can walk across that, Xev!"
Sie überlegt, aber ist trotzdem nicht wirklich abgeschreckt.
Xev: „Prince will help us. We didn't help him, so next he will try Kai."

Prince läuft eine lange Treppe hinunter - den ganzen Stadt-Turm herunter - Xev und Stan hinterher.
Stan: „There he goes!" - die beiden folgen.

 Kai befindet sich in der Gerichtskammer vor der Jurie - Kai ist mit Stahlfesseln an einem Stuhl (wie zu einer Hinrichtung) gebunden, der durch Licht- und Schattenspiele wie in der Mitte eines Spinnennetzes steht ! Kai windet sich, versucht immer wieder die Fesseln zu sprengen oder seine Fletsche bereit zu machen ... geht nicht.
An der Decke hinter dem Gericht schwirren Papiere hin und her - es gibt mehrere Schriftführer - die scheinbar handschriftliche Kopien des Prozess-Protokolls ziehen ...
Im Hintergrund sind eine Menge weißer Kerzen - vor dem Gericht auf dem Tisch aber rote.
Court: „This judication will commands. It is our responsibility to attempt to report for prosperity the many incidences of extreme human pain and derogation, that are performed daily on this planet called 'Fire'. We ourselves do not participate in such practices. But we believe that the recordation of such incidences will - in time - open a door to a progressive and orderly future to free ourselves from suffering!!"
Kai singt nach all diesem Salmon sein Brunnen-G-Lied, heißt das: er will zwar hilflos gefangen aber doch kämpferisch untergehen? Erwartet er kein Entkommen ? Ist die Lage hoffnungslos - oder ist hier die AUSSAGE wichtiger: Will er damit seinen Schmerz betäuben - Das LEIDEN beenden. - Oder ist er wütend oder gelangweilt oder so -- nun, er singt das Lied eigentlich nur, wenn der Tod nahe ist ! Er WILL sterben.
Court: „Do you understand."
Kai: „No."
Court: „We do not expect you to understand. - However, we want you to understand the importance that each claimant answers a few questions. So that we may better understand - in time- the psychonomy of human evil. The process is fair and in patience. All will treated equally. A trick entreat (??)."
Frau: „You were found in the desert, - from where do you originate?"
Kai: „From Bunnis II by the way of the Cluster."
Court: „Where is that?"
Kai: „In the light zone, the other universe."
Alle notieren sich schnell und aufgeregt diese Aussagen! - Das ist SPANNEND.
Turban: „May I refer the commission to the claimants statement Sec 3 § 1 B on my procurement report."
Count: „Thank you, Prepare, he is not from Fire?"
Turban: „The claimant claims not to be a judicator."
Court: „I don't understand."
Turban: „The claimant also claims, to be dead. Sec 2 § 5 A."
Count: „Dead?"
Kai: „I assume, that this process at its end will lead to some kind of punishment? I request, that you cut this process short and throw me off the edge of the city."
Court: „Claimants are not permitted to request punishment at this stage. The claimant must wait for the final adjudication."
Kai stöhnt wütend und ungeduldig auf - er leidet sichtlich!

Stan und Xev irren weiter Treppen herunter.
Stan: „Oh boy, how far down does this thing go?"
Xev: „We can tell, how far it is, by how long this rock takes to hit the bottom."
So wird es gemacht. Stein wird geworfen.
Stan: „Do you hear anything?"
Xev: „No."
Stan: „THAT is far, Xev!"
Xev: „Yes."
Stan: „Maybe it has no bottom!"
Xev: „It has to!" Folgendes Bild: Der TURM ist so tief(-gründig), dass kein Grund abzusehen ist -- und doch müssen Xev und Stan diesen tiefen Grund ergründen, UM zu Kai zu gelangen --- wieder eine Metapher für die TIEFE von Kai und der Serie an sich ?
Stan: „Don't know about this."
Xev: „Got any other ideas?"
Stan: „Hey, wait up, wait up, not a good idea to go that far ahead. - It is okay for you, part cluster lizard, but I don't know, if I can last much longer in this kind of heat! Don't know, if it was such a good idea anyway. We haven't seen Prince since we left the top. - We have no idea, where we are."
Xev: „We are at the bottom."
Stan: „How do you know?"
Xev: „I counted the steps. This was step no. 39 000 exactly. That is enough to reach the bottom!" - mh also es gibt 4 + 20 + 13 + 24 Folgen = 61 Folgen - das sind um die 65 Stunden!
Stan: „Well, that is nice, so where to now?"
Xev: „You wanna go up again?"
Stan: „No, what are you going to do...kill me?"
Xev: „So which direction do you wanna go then?"
Stan: „I want you to choose, my always go terrible. It will be a satisfaction to blame YOU."
Xev steckt Finger in den Mund und hält ihn in den Wind.
Xev: „Thanks, Stan. Air is coming from that direction, and it's cooler."
Stan: „Yeah, it's a bit!"
Xev: „Coming?"
Xev geht zu Stan zurück, - schnappt ihn sich im Arm.
Stan: „Okay, okay, I'm blaming you if anything goes wrong."
Xev: „That's okay!"
Stan: „I mean it!"
Xev: „Yeah!"
Stan: „I hope we shouldn't go much further."
Xev: „It should not be that far."

Xev und Stan befinden sich nun in einem unterirdischen Tunnel zwischen den Städten - und Stan beschwert sich wieder über die Hitze. ... Nur durch schmale Lüftungsröhren kommt Luft in den Tunnel, der voller Sand ist .... und noch ein Stückchen weiter nach unten geht.
Stan: „Xev? Xev?"
Xev: „Yes?"
Stan: „I have got a second to rest, Xev. I am gonna overheat."
Im Hintergrund erklingt eine Art Lachen ...
Xev: „What was that?"
Stan: „What?" 
Xev: „I heard something!"
Stan: „Maybe we should go back!"
Xev: „To what?"
Stan: „I wish I had something."
Xev: „For what?"
Stan: „To protect myself!"
Xev: „What?"
Stan: „I don't know, what!" - Stan geht es nicht gut, er muss mal Luft schnappen und anhalten - Xev ist schon ein ganzes Stück voraus!
Stan: „Be careful, Xev!"
Xev: „I will!"
Stan: „Very careful!"

Lauter seltsame Geräusche aus den unterschiedlichsten Richtungen. Dann sieht Xev vor sich ein Paar angeketteter Balletttänzerinnen, zerfetzte Klamotten ... Xev geht ihnen nach.
Stan bleibt keuchend zurück und ruft nach ihr.
Diese geht Gang herunter, und wird in einem im Sand versteckten Netz gefangen!
Lex Gigeroff aka Rainbow: „I know, I shouldn't!"
Vor Stan hockt hin und her wippend Lex Gigeroff im Gang, knabbert an seiner bandagierten Hand und wiederholt die Sätze immer wieder. Stan nähert sich vorsichtig. - Dann schnappt sich Lex Stans Hand !!
Rainbow: „Don't go down there!"
Stan: „Ah, thanks for the advice!"
Stan versucht seine Hand zu befreien, kann das aber nicht. Und ruft nun nach Xev!
Rainbow: „Don't go down there."
Stan: „Why?"
Rainbow: „They hurt you! - They always do." - zieht Stan noch näher an sich heran.

Kai vor dem Gericht: singt sein Lied. Die Richter sind alle recht verwirrt. Der Richter nickt Turban zu.
Turban: „The claimant please assists the to adjudicating comity to adjudicate his claim!"
Kai windet sich in seinen Fesseln - ungeduldig!
Frau: „For the record. Procure, this man that you procured from the desert claims to your procurement report, that he has been an assassin! - Is that correct?"
Turban: „That is correct, Adjudicatress."
Alle sind plötzlich sehr interessiert!
Kai: „Once again, I request that you throw me from the edge off the city!"
Frau: „Claimant, we will not progress your claim until you respect the rules and procedures of this adjudication commission adjudicates its claims."
Kai: „I withdraw all claims and request, that this commission throws me over the edge of the city!"
Frau: „Claimant, have you ever suffered torture? - Or other evil on this planet"
Kai: „Yes! - From this commission."
DA sind die aber plötzlich alle beleidigt.
Court: „Default. Rule 1. Accusations against this commission are not recorded!"
Und dann folgt eine alberne Armbekreuzigungszeremonie!
Frau: „Claimant, have you even in fact assassinated anyone?"
Kai ist sehr schwach, sein Kopf nicht mehr aufrecht halten ... 
Kai: „I...I have killed mothers with their babies, I have killed great philosophers and proud young warriors. I have killed the evil and the good, the intelligent, the weak and the beautiful. But it has been a while since I slaughtered a whole room of penny bureaucrats."
Kai spukt schon Speichel! Die Richter halten sich geschockt bei den Händen.
Dann fängt Kai an zu singen! - Kämpferisch!
Turban: „The claimant will answer the adjudicatress' questions! Those who deny their commissioner's subject will suffer standard punishment no. 1."
Kai: „What is that?"
Turban: „1 is: Thrown off the edge of the city to their death."
Kai: „I request: standard punishment no. 1."
Court: „Claimants are not allowed to request specific punishments! This commission has the sole right to adjudicate the claimants claim!"
Kai verzieht schmerzverzerrt das Gesicht!
Kai: „Look here, at my arm, here come. Come here. I think, it will answer your questions."
Er lockt den Turban zu sich, der sich erst die Zustimmung der Frau holt. Kurzes Nicken.
Kai: „Feel along the muscle."
Turban: „What has this to do with the adjudicatress' question?"
Kai: „Are you afraid? I do not even have the strength to raise my arm!"
Kai fordert den Stolz des Turbans heraus! - Macht er geschickt -- und hey, DAS ist doch wohl eine Lüge, dass er dort die ANTWORTEN hat, hehehhe.
Kai: „A little higher, a little higher."
Turban sieht die Fletsche in der Hülle: „What is that?"
Kai: „Squeeze it."
Turban: „I don't know, if it is permitted. Is it permitted?"
Der Richter nickt. Und Turban drückt die Fletsche und es geht los: zwickt den Hals des Richters!
Kai: „At least my fall fixed that part of me!"
Court: „What do you want?"
Kai: „I request, that you throw me off the edge of this city!"
Court: „This adjudication commission thereby grants the claimant standard punishment no. 1."
Kai zieht die Fletsche zurück - während ihm die Frau wütende Blicke zuwirft. Irgendwie erinnert sie mich an die Staatsanwältin Jihana aus 'Stan's Trial' - die Haare sind ähnlich und die ganze Verhandlung war eine ähnliche Pfennigfuchserei ... aber die Schauspielerin ist nicht dieselbe.

Stan wird immer noch von Rainbow festgehalten.
Stan: „Just let go off my hand. I have to catch up with somebody."
Rainbow. „I can't let go."
Stan: „Why?"
Rainbow: „Because that will hurt me."
Mh, er kann die Serie bzw. KAI nicht loslassen, auch wenn er es SOLLTE - um ihm seinen Frieden zu geben ... ?
Stan: „Well, I am sorry to hear that! But I have to go, right now!"
Rainbow: „Please don't leave me! - They want to hurt me."
Stan: „Who wants to hurt you?" - Er hockt sich zu Rainbow nieder.
Rainbow: „They do."
Stan: „No, no, they won't hurt you, I see to it, that they won't hurt you! Xev and me will both see to it, that they won't - as soon as I get her!"
Rainbow glaubt ihm nicht. Und lässt nicht los.

Rainbow does not let him go: „Really?"
Stan: „Really."
Rainbow: „Who is Xev?"
Stan: „My friend, she just passed by here a few minutes ago. I'm surprised you didn't see her. - So, you let go of my hand and I will go get her, okay?"
He lets Stan go. Then he offers him his hand again. And Stan, always good spirit, takes it again and is thrown by Rainbow on the floor by all the mighty weight of Rainbow/Lex Gigeroff - nicht gerade dünn der Mann. Stans Mund wird zugehalten, er scheint kaum Luft zu bekommen. Er wehrt sich immer weniger.
Rainbow: „I am a doctor. You can trust me."
Lachende Frauen in dem Tunnel - Xev geht es nicht gut. Frau mit Peitsche zieht an Draht die zwei Ballerinas hinter sich her - diese schleppen Xev rücklings hinter sich her.
Xev: „Hey!"
Xev wird neben eine Schnappfalle gelegt, hässliche Zacken. Die Ballerinas hocken sich mit den Beinen in Grätsche voreinander und öffnen die Schnappfalle. Die Domina zeigt Xev das effektive Zuschnappen der Falle. Die Falle wird erneut geöffnet. Und Xevs Kopf hinein gelegt. Auch ihr Clusterschrei bringt nix.

Stan ist geknebelt und bringt kaum ein verständliches Wort heraus, als Rainbow seine Stiefel nimmt und als Trophäe an die Wand hängt. Er schnuppert an den Schuhen, während Stan geknebelt nach Xev um Hilfe ruft.
Stan hängt an einer Vorrichtung wie ein Kreuz - in einer Kammer voller Werkzeuge. Es sieht nicht gut aus.
Rainbow: „My name is Rainbow. You can call me Dr. Rainbow."
Stan mumble's unrecognisable.
Rainbow: „Sorry, I missed that."
Er öffnet Stans Knebel.
Rainbow: „You know, I can take this off. Cause nobody can hear you!"
Stand: „Take me out of this place."
Rainbow: „It's why I like to come here. This is where I do my best work."
Stan: „What kind of work?"
Rainbow: „Surgery. I'm going to make you feel better."
Er kommt mit einem langen, hässlichen Messer auf Stan zu, der sich vor Schreck windet.
Stan: „You don't have to make me feel better, I just feel perfectly perfectly all right."
Rainbow: „No no no no, you know, parts aren't you feel much better without. Bad parts, dirty parts. Parts I'm going to cut away."
Xev wird weiter in der Zangenfalle von der Domina festgehalten. Die Ballerinas halten Xev fest und die Domina stößt mit einer Stange zu ... ein paar Mal daneben und dann unter viel Gelächter schließlich richtig! Xev wird aber gerade noch weggerissen. Dann wird Xev - immer noch im Netz verstrickt, vor einen Haufen geöffneter Schnappfallen auf einen Ansatz gestellt --- ihr droht der Stoß in den Haufen!! Sie kämpft um ihr Gleichgewicht.
Stan fummelt weiter hilflos an seinen Fesseln herum.
Rainbow: „I'm sorry. I have nothing to stop the bleeding. There is nothing I can do about that."
Er zieht sich Gummihandschuhe an.
Stan: „Okay. Whatever it is that you want, I don't want any part of it, okay?"
Rainbow schärft sein Messer.
Rainbow: „They scream when I first cut them. Then after a while they stop. They always do. Doesn't have to be very sharp to do the job. To do the job, to do the job. They always stop, they always stop."
Stan: „Listen, buddy, what do you want, what do you want? Look, whatever it is, I'll help you get it, okay, okay? I am Stanley H. Tweedle I am the captain of the Lexx, the most powerful destructive force of the two universes."
Rainbow: „You'll stop screaming, too."
Stan: „Help!"
Rainbow: „I told you, they don't hear you, no one can hear you here except for me. But it doesn't bother me, because I am used to it. I am used to it, I am used to it, I am used to it, ..."
Stan: „Xev!"
Aber außer das Echo leerer Gänge hört ihn niemand. Derweil wird Xev mit Stangen auf die Fallen zu getrieben. Bei der ersten Ablenkung springt Xev herunter - wird aber wieder weg getrieben.
Rainbow: „They scream when I cut them. They scream when I cut them."
Nun will er das Messer benutzen - Stan windet sich! Das Messer kratzt Rillen in einen Holzblock wenige Zentimeter vor Stans Schritt. Dann wird er plötzlich aufgehalten. Von Prince!
Rainbow: „I was just trying to help him!"
Prince: „No, you weren't."
Rainbow: „Just trying to help him."
Stan: „Just trying to cut me open, just trying to cut me open."
Prince: „Ouch, that would have hurt."
Schneidet sich an der spitzen Klinge - und beginnt dann, Stan zu befreien.
Stan: „Whoa, I have to thank you. And I have to ask, why?"
Prince: „Consider it a goodwill suggestion. If I will help you then maybe eventually he you will help me out of gratitude."
Stan: „I won't help you blow up another planet. - Where is Xev?"
Prince: „Like you I suspect that she, too, is in a spot of trouble."
Die Domina klappert wenige Zentimeter vor Xevs Gesicht mit ihren Zähnen und dann ist sie deutlich dabei, Xev in die Fallen zu drängen. Die Ballerinas mit aller Eleganz von Spagat ...in dem Moment kommt Prince und wirft die Frauen allesamt - durch Ketten verbunden, statt dessen hinein.
Prince: „Saved by your Prince."
Stan: „I said, down here it is not as hot as on the surface. How come?"
Prince: „It is the geology. The rocks down here produce some heat. Not as much as in other places. It is possible for human beings to survive down here for a few days at least. Survive the heat that is. Not necessarily the errands."
Xev: „Why?"
Prince: „The people who are condemned to live down here. They have no own city. Because they are the badest of the bad, they are the sick, the truly evil, they kill for the sheer pleasure, the actual act of killing. Until now they only had each other to hunt down, but that was until you came along, that make things more interesting."
Stan: „Yeah, that is absolutely not interesting for me - not at all."
Prince: „No, not for you, but for them, yes, for them you are fresh meat - a rare treat. You have not even died ones yet, not since the day you were born."
Xev: „You said 'born'. How come? I thought you don't know that people were born."
Prince: „Well, you told me yourself about people being born. Where you come from. Don't you remember, Xev?"
Schreie im Gang. 
Stan: „What was that?"
Prince: „I don't know, but that is the way to Hooktown. Where we saw them take your dead men in black. - After you."
Stan: „No no no, you go first."
Prince: „As you please. But they can come from ahead, from behind, from above or below - nowhere is safe on the planet Fire'."

Einige Zeit später.
Xev: „That is a dead end."
Stan: „You tricked us to get down here."
Prince: „For what purpose?"
Stan: „I don't know, but whatever it is, I don't like it."
Prince: „Look!" - Er dreht Stans Kopf zur Decke.
Am oberen Ende der Treppe gibt es ein schmales Loch - in der Decke - der Ausgang. Die Treppe selbst ist vollgestopft mit Büchern.
Stan: „Nonono, I am Stanley H. Tweedle is not gonna crawl up in that little hole!"
Prince: „That is okay, you can stay down here, if you like - alone, in the tunnels."
Prince geht vor nach oben, Xev folgt ihm, Stan schaut lieber zurück anstatt nach vorne.
Stan: „I am not going up there!"
Prince ist oben - hinter seinem Rücken schweben Papiere an Drähten hin und her. Er hockt vor dem Loch aus dem er hoch kam.
Xev: „What is up there?"
Prince: „Paper."
Stan: „What is really up there, Prince?"
Prince: „As I said: paper. Lots and lots of it."
Prince steht auf und nimmt mal ein Blatt von einem Stapel.
Stan: „Is it save?"
Prince: „No."
Stan: „What do you mean?"
Prince: „Nowhere is safe on the planet 'Fire'!"
Er entfernt sich langsam vom Loch.
Stan: „I don't trust him."
Xev: „Neither do I!"
Stan: „You mean, you want to go up there?"
Xev: „Yes."
Stan: „You are making a big mistake."
Xev: „What do you wanna do, Stan, stay down here in the tunnels?"
Xev windet sich nach oben durch das Loch.
Stan: „Be careful, Xev!"

Inzwischen wird Kai in Ketten auf die Mauer der Stadt gelegt - die Richterin bewacht alles. Der Court steht daneben als Zeuge.
Court: „I don't understand. Why do you want standard punishment no. 1?"
Kai ist immer noch recht hilflos, kann sich kaum bewegen.
Kai: „Because … my systems are out of alignment."
Der Court gibt dem Helfer ein Zeichen und der nähert sich Kai, um ihn runter zu rollen - es ist SEHR hoch - bestimmt mehrere tausend Meter.
Auf einer der Dornen schlägt Kai auf - muss sich aus eigener Kraft weiter herunter rollen - aber das schafft er schon wieder, indem er sich mit den Beinen abstützt, über Schulter und dann Füße voraus wegrollt  ...
Halb im Sand begraben schlägt er wieder auf, stöhnt kurz  - kontrolliert als erstes seine Hände - läuft wieder. Dann sprengt er seine Fesseln, streift die ab und macht seine Fletsche bereit - feuert - um wieder nach OBEN zu kommen.
Von Turban ungesehen kraxelt er an Bord einer Gondel.
Kai: „I must procure this balloon from you."
Turban dreht sich irritiert um, nachdem er vorher in den Himmel gestarrt hat.
Turban: „It is not permitted!"
Kai: „Perhaps not, but I have been realigned."
Damit schneidet Kai das Ankerseil mit seiner Fletsche durch und der Ballon steigt. Turban schaut ihm erstaunt nach und dann fängt er an das Brunnen-G-Lied zu singen - heißt das, er wird aufgrund dieses Diebstahls zum Tode verurteilt werden? Immerhin WAR er Kapitän auf diesem Ballon!
Turban sieht seinem Ballon hinterher.
Hinter Turban sieht man die Schlote voller Abgase der Stadt und an einer Stelle auch das Lüftungssystem - Räder, die für kühle Luft sorgen.

Prince läuft durch einen Gang mit hin und her schwebenden Papieren und geht zu einem Ausguck-Fenster nach draußen. Dort beobachtet Prince den Ballon, den wahrscheinlich Kai entwendet hat.
Stan ruft immer noch aus dem Loch hoch: „Xev, Xev, can you hear me?"
Prince wendet sich erneut zurück Richtung Loch.
Prince: „Hello, Stanley."
Stan: „Where is Xev?"
Prince: „Exploring. So, you are going to come up?"
Stan: „I hate small, tiny places. I really hate them."
Prince: „Well, you can stay down there, if you want to, but I think I should advice you that they always stay down there. - In the tunnels, it is part of their punishment."
Stan: „Now, you tell me."
Stan stapelt einige Bücher um sich herum, damit er einen leichteren Aufstieg hat. Dann schafft er es auch wirklich mit Ach und Krach mit dem Oberkörper aus dem Loch und ruft nach Xev und Prince - aber dann zieht ihn etwas nach unten zurück. Von den beiden ist keine Spur zu sehen.
Rainbow: „They scream when I cut them. They scream when I cut them. When I cut them. There is never time for anaesthetic."
Stan rennt schreiend davon! Zurück in das Tunnelsystem.
Stan: „Xev, Xev, where are you, I need help. Help, someone! - Go away, go away you stupid ..."
Nützt alles nix, Rainbow ist Stan dicht auf den Fersen.
Stan: „This is a nightmare, go away!"
In einem der Seitengänge stolpert Stan praktisch - Rainbow kommt ihm näher.
Stan: „Go away!" - Prince beobachtet alles!
Stan flüchtet unabsichtlich in Rainbow's Kammer - und findet sich dort an der Wand mit den etlichen Schuh-Souvenirs seiner Opfer wieder.
Rainbow: „They always scream. I'm used to it. I'm used to it."
Dabei schwingt er das Messer vor Stans Nase herum - will zustechen und wird von einer seltsamen Tunte in Frauenkleidern doch selbst mit seinem Messer niedergestochen.
Rainbow: „Blood!" - Dann bricht er zusammen.
Stan: „Thank you, thank you! Thank you!"
Der Retter spielt mit dem Messer vor Stans Nase herum ...
Dr. No. 2: „It wouldn't have hurt that much, because he doesn't know where the nerves are, but I do. You see I'm a doctor!"
Er will gerade zustoßen, als Prince sich dazwischen wirft und den Arm des Doktors aufhält. Stan duckt sich kriecherisch weg. Prince und die Gestalt ringen, aber Rainbow ist noch nicht ganz tot und krabbelt hinzu - als die Ringer in seine Nähe kommen. Rainbow hat ein anderes Messer geholt. Prince wird als erster getroffen. Dann Doc 2.
Doc 2: „He hit the nerve!"
Alle brechen nun tödlich getroffen zusammen!
Prince: „Stanley, Stanley!"
Stan: „Stupid doctors!"
Doc 2 versucht noch zu Stan zu kriechen. Schafft es aber nicht mehr.
Prince: „Stanley, Stanley, Stanley,..."
Stan legt Messer von Rainbow weg - auf den Tisch zurück.
Prince: „Stanley, I wanted you to love me."
Stan: „Yeah, ready for that before. Are you dying?"
Prince: „Yes, - (lacht) - but I am used to it."
Stan: „But tell us how to get to Kai. Hey, Prince, Prince, buddy old jump, are you still breathing? Xev, you have scared me to death."
Xev ist plötzlch da: „Sorry, Stanley, what happened?"
Stan: „Well, he came after me again and then that guy, and then Prince has saved me. Where is he gone? He was just here on the floor, dead."
Xev: „Where is he now?"
Stan: „I don't know? He disappeared."
Xev: "Yeah, Prince does that."
Stan: „Come on, Xev, let's get out of here, quick."
Stan: „I agree."
Sie hinterlassen die Leichen im 'Keller'.
Stan: „Where are we going?"
Xev: „This way."
Stan: „Why?"
Xev: „It is the easy way."
Sie ist sich ihrer Sache in dem Irrgarten dort unten erstaunlich sicher. Warum? Sie kann das nicht wissen. Aber Prince!
Stan: „I won't let you off my side again, okay?"
Xev: „I recommend that."
Stan und Xev kommen unter der Stadt heraus.
Stan: „Oh boy! We all die after, Xev."
Xev: „No, we are not."
Stan: „I don't know... if he is... oh, almost there. We are safe, we are safe, we are safe! - Kai!"
Kai winkt ihnen aus einem nähernden Ballon zurück. Die Gondel sinkt.

3.08 - The Key

Die Gondel nähert sich dem Punkt der Annäherung an die Lexx - Kai schlingt ein Seil um sich - Xev visiert das Ziel per Fernrohr an. Alle schnallen sich an, als Kai seine Fletsche etwas ausfährt - bereit zum Schuss.
Kai: „Hang on."
Kai hängt sich an die Lexx und die ganze Gondel wird mitgerissen - seine Fletsche ist GANZ aussergewöhnlich belastungsfähig! Tonnen über Tonnen Zugkraft!

Auf dem Weg durch den Verbindungsgang zur Brücke, Kai folgt Stan und Xev stumm.
Stan: „I want you to know, that I hereby officially pull rank!"
Xev: „Why?"
Stan: „Because we are orbiting this two planets far too long, and things have not gone exactly well, agree?"
Xev: „Possible."
Stan: „And the true fact that I'm the only one that ever acts sensibly, and see, that I am the captain of the Lexx, I officially insist in leaving this system by the quickest means possible."
Xev: „And why should you be captain anyway?"
Stan: „I should be captain, because I am the captain. I have the key to the Lexx and that's it! Okay?"
Alle gelangen auf die Brücke, wo 790 in der Kontrollblüte steht.
790: „Huch. Welcome back, captain!"
Stan: „Yeah, hello."
790: „Not you, welcome back, Kai, captain of my heart."
Kai: „Hello."
790: „I suffered here so long in silence, all alone by myself, desperately longing for the dead cold flesh I desire. It hurts so bad, Kai. Promise me, you will never let me alone again."
Kai: „No."
790: „Did you miss me? Tell me that you missed me, at least."
Kai: „I did not miss you."
Stan: „Nobody missed you, not Kai, not Xev, not me. Not anybody."
790: „I missed you, Kai."
Kai schaut ein bisschen berührt.
790: „Was there someone else? You didn't meet another...?"
Stan: „Another ... another tin-can like yourself? - No, there was that one really cute girl down there on Boomtown, wasn't she? And she absolutely made no secret of her desire to play 'hide the sausage' with the dead man."
790: „You killed her, of course."
Kai: „No."
Stan: „No. Somebody pushed her out of the balloon."
790: „How sad."
Xev: „It was sad."
Stan: „Yeah."
Stan puts his hand on the control panel.
Stan: „Hey, Lexx, who is your captain?"
Lexx: „You are my captain, Stanley."
Stan: „Thank you, Lexx, I just want to remind everyone on that! So, Lexx, how do we get out of this system on the fastest, the safest way possible?"
Kai: „For us to move, the Lexx must eat. For the Lexx to eat, we must bring it food. To do that we have to go down to one of the planets."

Stan: „Oh, nonono, we are not going down either one of those planets ever again."
Kai: „I can go down on my own. I do not require your assistance."
Und selbst in seiner hilflosen Lage in Hooktown hat er das ja auch bewiesen - er konnte sich selbst aus der Lage wieder befreien.
Stan: „No, you're not gonna go down on your own, I mean, if you going down, then something is going to happen to you and then Xev is gonna down and something bad is gonna happen to her and then I have to go down and rescue Xev and something really terrible is gonna happen to me and in order to avoid all this negatives, nobody is going ever again, and that's it!"
Kai: „We can use the moths to bring food to the Lexx. But the moth breeders are incapable of flying them without any guidance. It would take many trips and therefore considerable time."
790: „Which we do not have. Each time the Lexx passes through the thin atmosphere that joins the two planets, it slows down. Each time it slows down, its orbit decays."
Stan: „So?"
790: „So that means, that it will not take long, that the orbit comes so tight that the Lexx crashes and we will all be killed."
Xev: „How long?"
790: „191 hours."
Stan: „Why didn't you tell us that before?"
790: „How could I? I was up here without Kai. All alone by myself when my beloving dead man was down there on the two planet without me trying to play 'hide the sausage'. Kai?"
Kai: „Yes?"
790: „I forgive you."

Stan hat Verdauungsprobleme, Durchfall. Deswegen begibt er sich schnell zur Toilette.
Stan sitzt auf der Toilette und drückt sich einen ab - komisch, warum steht Kai daneben? Und führt eine Diskussion mit Stan?

Stan: „Well, you know, I want to take a moth and fly to the nearest planets..."
Kai: „Within the nearest star system, which may or may not have life bearing planets is more than 70 years to reach in a moth."
Stan: „Well, perhaps but flying for 70 years is better than crashing in a 191 hours."
Kai: „A moth will be out of fuel in under 13 hours."
Stan: „Oh. What we gonna do? - I got it."
Kai: „What?"
Stan: „I can't believe, I didn't think of this before. I didn't believe I was so stupid."
Kai: „There are many ways."
Stan: „Hahahaha." - Er ist fertig und zieht sich wieder an.
Stan: „The Lexx's weapon still works, right? OK, then we use it to blow up the two planets, the Lexx eats the chunks and we are just going away from it."
Kai: „Those planets have people on it."
Stan: „Oh, well, They are certainly not like any people I've ever met before. I mean: They are not born, there is no children.There is definitely something seriously wrong with this two planets. And this universe will be a better one without them - as soon as they are Lexx-food."
Kai: „But would it be the right thing to destroy them?"
Stan: „Of course it would, I mean, you have been down there, 'Fire' is a terrible place. And 'Water' is just weird..."
Kai is thinking.
Stan: „Do you know what is really weird? I am actually beginning to like pooing on this toilet. Isn't that strange?"
Kai: „I do not know. The dead do not poo."

Xev steht auf dem Befehlsstand und denkt nach. Stan kommt hinzu und deutet Xev, den Platz für ihn zu räumen, das tut Xev auch. Stan aktiviert den Kommandostand mit seiner Schlüssel-Hand.
Stan: „Lexx, when will you be pointing at one of the two planets again?"
Xev: „Why?"
Lexx: „In 14 hours and 12 minutes I will be pointed directly at the desert planet again."
Stan: „OK, in 14 hours and 12 minutes I want you to use your weapon and ..."
Xev: „Do you think, it is right to destroy the planet? Stanley?"
Stan: „I don't know, I don't think it is right. I think it is most excellent RIGHT."
Xev: „But you have no idea of the consequences."
Stan: „Yes, I do .... You see, an evil planet is going to be blown in tiny little chunks and the Lexx is hopefully gonna eat those chunks and we will be able sailing away from a place where I don't want to be any more!"
Xev: „And the water planet?"
Stan: „Stays where it is. - Lexx, in 14 hours and whatever minutes when you're pointing at the desert planet again would you please, please blow it up for me? OK?"
Lexx: „As you command, Stan!"
Xev: „I am sure, there will be more consequences. - The two planets are very close."
Stan (mocks): „Close."

In the cryo chamber.
Xev: „Kai? Do you is think it is fair, that Stan is our Captain?"
Kai: „No."
Nun, von einer Gerechtigkeit in diesem Sinne kann man wohl auch kaum reden, es ist wohl eher Schicksal ...
Xev räkelt sich auf dem Boden herum, während Kai sein Proto-Blut auffüllt. Kai hockt dabei auf dem Boden seines Cryopods.
Xev: „And don't you think I should have a turn - or you?"

Kai: „I am dead, the key can not live inside me."
Xev: „How much do you know about the key? - That how it works?
Kai: „The last divine Shadow, whom I killed, was meant to process the key and command the Lexx. As I have his memories I have a general understanding of how it works."
Xev: „So?"
Kai: „The key is a living thing. It is inside Stanley. And it can be transferred by him to someone else. At the point of his death. - Or other times."
Xev: „What other times?"
Kai: „The divine Shadow I killed, was not concerned about the transfer of the key except to the next divine Shadow to follow him. Who would have received it on his death by a kiss."
Kai is pulling out the tube. Er stöhnt dabei leicht - ist es doch eine irgendwie befriedigende Aktion, sich diesen 'Schuss' zu geben? Er IST abhängig, das ist mal sicher!
Kai: „There are other ways to transfer the key. But I do not know what they are."
Xev: „So how can we find out?"
Kai: „790 has some bio diagnostic compassity. He may be able to help..."

790 is rolling on his board through some mist. Und singt dabei fröhlich.
Xev: „790!"
790: „Look, what Kai found for me."
790 meint sein Rollbrett, das in der Folge 3.01 in den Abgrund fiel, - und rollt hinter Xev her in ihre Schlafkammer.
790: „Xev, do you think, you are attractive?"
Xev: „I don't know if. That is not for me to say."
790: „You are. For a woman anyway, - but still you could pick yourself up a bit."
Xev: „How?"
790: „First your hair."
Xev: „The hair? What about it?"
790: „Loose it. A shaved head would suit you better. And your waist line."
Xev: „My waist line?"
790: „You need to beef up a bit. - I suggest you start eating more, a lot more. And your wardrobe. You have to start covering up. A big leather sack with two eye holes would work for me."
Xev: „790!"
790: „I can't stand the way you prance around, looking the way you do to. You think he's beautiful, don't you?"
Xev: „790!"
790: „Don't deny. Say it: Kai is truly beautiful!"
Xev: „790, I want to..."
790: „...to have and to hold him, just say it, crush me like a bug."
Xev: „No!"
790: „No?"
Xev: „I want to make you a deal!"
790: „Why should I want to make a deal with you?"
Xev: „You want Kai to be yours alone, right?"
790: „Of course. I am madly in love with him."
Xev: „ And you are worried that I am your competition, right?"
790: „You are the only other woman on board."
Xev: „I will agree to back up from Kai completely, but only if you agree to help me."
790: „I will do whatever I have to do. My love knows no limits."

Xev geht zu dem schlafenden Stan in seine Kammer.
Xev: „It is my turn to have the key. - It's my turn to be captain."
Stan: „Xev, I was having a nice dream and you are ruining it."
Xev: „It is my turn to have the key."
Stan: „What are you talking about?"
Xev: „It is my turn to be captain."
Stan: „No, Xev, you can't be captain because I am."
Xev: „How is that fair?"
Stan: „I didn't say it was fair. Look at it from my side: I mean, I didn't always want to be captain. Sometimes the pressure, responsibility can get you down. But look, that doesn't matter, I have the key, you don't and I am the captain!"
Xev: „It can be transferred at the point of death."
Stan: „Thank you very much, but I feel just fine right now."
Xev: „Would you let me have a turn as captain, if you could give me the key?"
Stan: „Yeah, yeah, I am a fair person."
Xev: „So you would?"
Stan: „Look, we can't do it, so it doesn't matter."
Xev: „Just answer, Stanley. If we could transfer the key, would you have me a turn as the captain?"
Stan: „Yes, I would."
Xev: „Good."

Stan ist in einem der Kühlboxen angekabelt an das Diagnosegerät - und 790 analysiert ihn.
790: „If the key can be transferred at the point of death, what is the point of this?"
Stan: „Exactly it is just a waste of time."
790: „Why not let Kai finally act like an assassin and kill Tweedle and be done with it."
Stan: „Because unlike you, Xev is not psychotic robot head."
Mh, that is weird, and makes no sense, doesn't Stan mean KAI instead of Xev?
790: „I am a mad robot head, I am a crazy in love robot head, a Kai obsessed robot head, who want to play hide the sausage with its man right now!"
Stan: „Oh poofed-o-robot head."
790: „I reset that!"
KAI ist sehr genervt und verdreht die Augen!!!! Das ist das erste Zeichen von Emotionalität in der Gegenwart von ‚Xev' aka Prince!
Stan: „Oh why? You are a 'he' and he is a 'he'!"
790: „I am not a 'he', I am a 'she'."
Stan: „I don't think so."
790: „I am!"
Stan: „...not!"
790: „I AM!"
Stan: „You are not!"
790: „I am! - You just hate me because I am different. You see only my hard metal exterior. You don't see the soft woman on the inside!"
Stan: „Inside you are fused spots, pal"
790 cries: „Kai, please, Kai, I really need a kiss right now!"
Stan: „Oh, yag."
Kai kisses the robot head. 790 hat wummernde Herzen in seinen Augen! Das ist wohl das zweite Zeichen von Emotionalität und Mitgefühl oder so. Denn selbst bei anderen Gelegenheiten, wenn 790 ihn auffordert, ihn zu küssen, tut er es in der Regel NICHT.
790: „I am at the point of joy!"
Kai: „The point of death is the point of joy."
Stan: „What are you talking about?"
Kai: „I died a long time ago, but I still remember the experience."
Stan: „So?"
Kai: „I also remember the experience of sexual climax from the time when I was alive."
Stan: „Oh well, that is really nice and I am really happy for you."
Kai: „And there is a similarity between the two events."
Stan: „Between getting your jellies and getting killed?"
Kai: „Yes. The quality of release was somewhat the same. Only with death it was far greater."
Kai is looking at Xev!
Stan: „That is very interesting that is something to look forward to, hopefully a long way down the road."
Xev: „790, focus on the part of Stanley's brain where he experiences his sexual pleasure."
790: „Uuh, I'd rather not, but I will do it for the greater good! - Mh."
Xev: „What?"
790: „There is an unusual elevated level of electric activity in the Modula Sexuala..."
Xev: „Is that the key?"
Xev geht um Stan herum, der sie lüstern anschaut!
790: „I think it is just exhilarated Tweedle-perversion."
Xev: „Be serious, 790."
790: „I AM and I can't tell."
Xev: „But whatever that is there, it could be the key to the Lexx?"
790: „Could be."
Xev: „Stan, when you first got the key how did it feel?"
Stan: „I don't know, okay?"
Xev: „Okay? Or 'good'?"
Stan: „I don't know, 'good' I suppose - in a weird kind of way."
Xev: „In a sexual way?"
Stan: „In a sexual way? I don't know, Xev, I wasn't exactly focused at that time, come on, Xev, that was 4000 years ago. Maybe it was in a sexual way, I mean, I don't know, I can't remember. Besides, this just doesn't matter, OK?"
Stan zieht sich die ganzen Kabel ab und steigt aus der Kühlröhre.
Stan: „Jesus, 790 can't find the key and I am not at the point of death, thank you very much, which means that I am going to remain captain of the Lexx for the proceeding future, okay? So we are wasting our time here. Now I'm going back to my bed and get some sleep. Bye."
Aber Xev scheint zufrieden und schaut Stan hinterher. Sie führt was im Schilde.

Kai und Xev sind auf der Brücke, Xev räkelt sich in der Kontrollblüte, Kai steht vor ihr, schaut aber etwas irritiert auf den singenden 790, der auf die Brücke rollt.
Xev: „So, was it the location of the key?"
790: „I think so."
Xev: „Then: how do we get it out of him?"
790: „Kai, please kill Stan. It is the best thing that you can do for me."
Kai: „Why?"
790: „Xev and I made a deal. She said that if I will help her get the key from Stan, she would stay away from you and leave you for me alone without any competition from her, so that I can have you all for myself."
Kai: „Is that true, Xev?" - Kai ist erstaunt! Mh, sieht er seine Felle davon schwimmen, wenn ‚Xev', also Prince = der Tod, ihn nicht mehr haben will?
Xev: „Stan instructed the Lexx to blow up the planet. I can stop him. If I have the key."
790: „But if we don't blow up the planet we are going to crash."
Xev: „It is not the right decision, 790. So, Kai, how do we get the key out of him?"
Kai wendet sich von Xev ab. Denkt nach.
Kai: „There is - potentially - a connection between the ecstasy of sexual climax, the ecstasy of death and the location of the key in Stanley's brain. He may be able to transfer the key at will, if his Modula Sexuala is stimulated to the required level of ecstasy."
Xev: „How do we get him to this level of ecstasy?"
790: „Easily. He likes you, you like him, - what's the problem?"
Kai: „I do not think, that a normal level of sexual excitation was defiedest."
790: „Xev?"
Kai: „I'm sure she's up to the challenge."
Damit rauscht Kai von der Brücke - mh, komisch, seine Antwort klingt wirklich irgendwie eifersüchtig!
790: „Kai? Kai? KAI?"
790 kann ihm nicht folgen, weil da diese Stufe von der Brücke hoch in den Gang führt. Xev inzwischen denkt scharf nach.

Xev leans over Stans bed. Stan is sleeping.
Stan: „Huch, what now?"
Xev: „I have another proposal."
Stan: „That's it. I'm not wasting any more time with this."
Xev: „You won't be wasting your time, I promise."
Stan: „You interrupted me once. So 790 probed my brain and what came out? Nothing."
Xev: „I agree to give you the satisfaction you want. If we could find a way to transfer the key."
Stan: „Yeah, what we didn't!"
Xev: „We did."
Stan: „No, we didn't, except at my point of death. Which, you know, is really not somewhere I want to go right now."
Xev: „No. There's another way."
Stan: „What?"
Xev: „I would bring you to the very extreme point of sexual excitement, and then together we travel beyond that extreme into the land of ultimate sexual fulfillment."
Stan: „Me and you?"
Xev: „Yes. I want to take you where you've never been before."
Stan: „Don't tease me, Xev. I am not up for it!"
Xev: „I'm not going to tease you. I'm going to please you."
Stan: „And ... and I just have to give you the key, is that the deal?"
Xev: „Oh no, it is not about the key anymore. - I just want to surrender my body to you."
Stan: „Don't get me wrong, Xev, you know. The idea of you surrendering your body to me, that is very very appealing. But you have come on to me like this before, and it has not been exactly be solved in, what were you saying: 'ultimate sexual satisfaction'. So, what is the catch?"
Xev: „The catch is, that we may have less than 190 hours to live."
Stan: „Yeah."
Xev: „And I am the only woman on the ship. And you are the only man."
Stan: „Yeah."
Xev: „And you know, I have special needs."
Stan nods.
Xev: „So the time has just come. I want my needs filled. And I don't really care what happens after that."
She takes his hand to her breast. Stan is very pleased and Xev is going to kiss him an little more, at least.
Stan: „Yeah, I knew you'd come around. Sooner or later. - So, - what's wrong?"
Xev retreats from Stan.
Xev: „Nothing."
Stan: „Don't tell me, this is just another one of your teases."
Xev: „Oh no, not at all, you know, this is not just going to be ordinary sex, Stanley - you are going to have the thrill of your lifetime. So there are certain things we have to do."
Stan: „Like what?"
Xev: „You'll see."

Xev is collecting some kind of shiny, thin and little fabrics from her bed room.
Kai's entering her room.
Kai: „Xev?"
Xev: „Kai? - What's up? „
Kai: „I was ...thinking ... about you."
His face makes funny grimaces.
Xev: „In what way?"
Kai: „I was thinking about you ... in a different way."
Xev: „What do you mean: different?"
Kai kisses Xev very intensive with the tongue visibly involved.
Kai seems to be confused himself, he's observing Xev very intensely afterwards. After a while of confusion, she is turning away from him. She is confused as well, facing him again and then turning around and leaving with no further words and leaving an intensely stirring Kai behind.

790 is rolling on his board and singing to himself again. Clearly enjoying himself.
Xev is with Stan in the cryo chamber and preparing him with cables and such.
Stan: „Is this really necessary?"
Xev: „It just makes it a more committed experience."
Stan: „Maybe, but I am not liking it."
Xev: „Mh, you will."
790 roles on and as he's falling off the board by hitting a barrier on the ground at the cryo chamber. Xev is catching him and puts him on the control panel of the protein generator.
Stan: „OK, now that's it, you go."
790: „No."
Stan: „I will not gonna have the sexual thrill of my lifetime with you looking on."
Xev: „He needs to be here."
Stan: „Okay, well, then I am out of here."
790: „I am looking away."
Stan: „Xev, I'm not going to be able to perform with him in here."
Xev: „We need his help, Stanley. He can stimulate certain parts of you."
Stan: „No! He can't!"
Xev: „Electrically. I will do the rest."
Stan: „I don't know, Xev."
Xev: „This is not going to be ordinary sex, Stan - far beyond that."
Stan: „Well, can't we start with ordinary sex and we got from there?"
Xev: „It will be..."
Xev puts the trigger on some special electric devices with equipment on his croak and Stan is shivering in some kind of electrical shower.
Xev: „...like nothing you've ever experienced...."
Stan groans.
Xev: „...before. 790. You can go for now. - Stan and I like to be alone a little bit. I will call you, when I need you."
With this words Xev is throwing the 790 head faraway in the corner of the room.
790: „NO!"
Xev: „But to feel the ultimate of pleasure we are going to have to start with a little bit of pain."
She puts one of the cables on his left nipple. Stan is not very pleased.
Stan: „I'm not very good with pain."
Xev: „I am very good with pain." - grinst breit.
Stan: „70, 80, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100 - I am ready! hahaha! Yeah. „
Xev is coming out of the mist to Stan in the pod and then she dances in front of him in an erotic and oriental way with a lot of tiny and thin covers.
Stan: „Uhh, yes, I need you."
Stan is grabbed on his dick / equipment, - pretty hart.
790: „Uh, that's got to hurt!"
Xev throws, - after some nice erotic dance figures, - some of her clothes on Stan's head - that he is not seeing her leaving the room for a while.
Stan: „Touch me again, touch me, touch me, touch me, come on!"

She goes to the connected corner and grabs her own breasts and seams to think about, what she is going to do. Some doubts? She is taking in her breathe hard.
Stan: „Xev! Xev!" - From the next room.
Kai comes to her.
Xev: „Kai!"
Kai takes a GOOD, firm grab on her right breast! Slidely stroking it - funny! And this deep gaze into her eyes.
Kai: „I want you."
Xev grinst ihn an.
Stan: „Xev?" - From far away.
Xev: „What ... I thought, the dead didn't...
Kai: „...get aroused? That is correct, Xev. My actions do not make sense!"
Think, that might mean, that Kai really does not plan any of this actions. He's surprised himself but now it is quite clear: the dead only have one want: they want to be dead, they want to have 'death' - means: Prince!
Xev: „What about the key?"
Kai: „I want you. - Right NOW." - How urgent!
Xev: „Let me finish with Stanley first, then I will catch up with you."
She pulls away his long hair strain and puts a very soft kiss on his cheek.
And she leaves him alone. Kai seems to be disappointed.

She returns to the waiting Stan, who was not exactly aware of her absence.
She lifts the robot head off the floor, because now she needs him for the further action to take place. She kisses Stan after a little bit of hesitation.
Xev: „The electricity goes straight to your brain."
Stan screams in pain when the electricity starts flowing.
Xev: „It will shot you to the edge and I will be the sun who takes you over it."
She kisses him again. Again a deep one. Stan and Xev are groaning and Kai is observing this whole procedure from the distance of the corner.
Xev: „Are you at the edge, Stanley? I want the key in my keyhole."
Xev: „Make it come part way out, I want to see it."
Stan: „Xev, forget about the key, Xev, I want you now."
Xev: „Just let me see it. Please if you can, show it to me."
Stan: „Now?"
Xev: „Yes."
She is licking his fingers.
Xev: „Let the key come out to play. Show me more."
She's licking his fingers even more and Stan is groaning like hell.
Xev: „I am as hot as yours, Stanley. I want you. Just give me the key!"
She is spreading her legs in front of him. He is very excited and Kai is still observing from a distance. Waiting for his turn?
Xev: „Please, I promise I will give it back to you. Just give me the key!"
Stan: „You promise?"
Xev: „I have ever let you down? Ever? Ever?"
She's getting louder and even more excited.
Stan: „Not really, no."
Xev: „See, so give it to me!"
Stan: „Oh, you are just playing with me, Xev."
Xev: „I wanna play all the way down."
Stan: „All the way?"
And Stan lets the key come out.
Xev: „All the way - trust me. Just trust me. Just... trust... me!"
The light flows from Stan's hand toward Xev's ...
790 : „That... that is the key."
And finally the transfer is complete, Xev is sniffing on her new hand plaything. Also, aufgepasst: PRINCE hat den Schlüssel, in der 4. Staffel wird öfter gesagt, dass Prince den Schlüssel NICHT tragen kann, weil auch er, so wie Kai, nicht wirklich am Leben ist! Deswegen muss ja auch immer Bunny herhalten, dem Schlüssel als Träger zu dienen.
Stan: „Okay now, Xev, keep your promise. Take me to the edge and beyond."
Xev is very happy with her new plaything.
790: „Go for it, Xev! You want him and the security guard wants you, - so what is holding you back?"
Stan: „Yeah, that is right, we made a deal."
790: „I will close my eyes."
Stan: „Come on, Xev, you wanna stick to your deals, Xev?"
Xev: „I always stick to my deals, Stanley."
She switches off all the extra stuff on Stanley's body. And she opens her dress and comes very close to him again. Sticks her breasts in his face.
Stan: „Oh, yeah, this works, oh yeah, it works! Oh, this is working, yeah, it is working!"

790 is rolling on the bridge on his board and meets Kai there, who is just coming from one corner, and 790 stops in front of his feet.
790: „Kai, the love slave slut lets the security guard violate her with his spear of wickedness."
Kai lifts one of his feet, when 790 is directing his board close to it.
Xev is also entering the bridge from a different corner just in that moment.
Kai: „Is that true?"
Xev: „Yes."
Kai's lips are slightly parted and this means he is somehow surprised. Do I see a little glance of jealous in his eyes? But he for sure is thinking deeply. Her behavior is suspicious.
Xev is entering the bridge control blossom. Because she is the captain now.
Xev: „Lexx, who is your captain?"
Lexx: „You are my captain."
Stan is also entering the bridge now, he is in very good mood and feels really macho now. He is singing: 'I am so big and strong and manly.'
He is still closing his clothes and throwing some air kisses to Xev. She is just grinning.
Xev: „I order you not to destroy the planet."
Lexx: „As you command, captain. But I am very hungry and I must eat soon."
Stan: „Oh well, that is good, isn't it? Now the Lexx has nothing to eat. Now orbit's decaying, so we gonna crash, nice choice, captain!"
Xev: „No, we won't."
Stan: „Oh yeah, why not?"
Xev: „No, we won't."
Stan: „And how?"
Xev: „Somehow."
Kai: „You can escape in the moths before the Lexx crashes."
Xev: „Anyway, if we do crash, that simply means, we all gonna die. What is there to be afraid of?"
Xev is strolling around Stanley.
Stan: „Oh gee, do I actually have to answer that? Mh, let's see. Well, you see, Xev, given an option I would rather not die."
Stan is climbing up the bridge blossom again. His favorite place on the Lexx.
Xev: „Don't you believe in an afterlife, Stan?"
Stan (firm): „No!"
Xev: „Maybe you should."
Stan: „Oh ha ha ha, very funny, more fun than Stan expands. So, Xev, you said you gonna give me back the key, I'm ready for it now, so give it to me!"
He snips his fingers in impatience.
Xev: „No."
Stan: „You said, you always stick to your deals. Now, come on!"
Snips his fingers again.
Xev: „I do. I will give it back to you, when I'm ready. Which is NOT now."
Stan is leaving the blossom and the bridge. He passes Kai when leaving, and Kai is visibly thinking about this whole stuff. Xev is visibly enjoying playing with the key thing in her hand.
This whole thing is reflecting the whole unavoidable to come end of the Lexx series, Prince is always keeping his deals, but only the time that is suiting him best.

Kai is returning to the cryo chamber, where he lifts the robot head over a barrier on the floor.
790: „She is total trash. There is no way you can ever see anything in her now!"
Stan is sitting on the bottom of one of the pods and certainly not feeling very well.
Stan: „And how is she 'total trash'?"
790: „I admit, I have never thought much of her. But even I didn't think she would sink to Stanley Tweedle's level."
That is a lie, of course, because 790 was totally obsessed with her, before he was destroyed and reset and fallen in love with Kai.
790 directs his board to crash with Stanley's feet.
Stan: „Wow, thank you very much, 790. - Listen, since you don't have a body and you never will have, you will never have that kind of personally experience, that I just had. - So maybe you would like to know, how it is like to have the ultimate sexual experience with a woman, mh?"
Stan puts the electric device on 790's head, the one he wore on his own head during the experiment.
790: „I'm not interested in any kind of sexual experience with a woman. I am only interested in sex with my stiff."
Stanley: „OK, so have it your way, just go right on imagining."
Stan stands up and is ready to leave the room, he passes Kai, but then Kai requests.
Kai: „I am interested."
Stanley: „In what?"
Kai: „In the details of your sexual experience with Xev."
790: „Oh, no!"
Stan: „Really?"
Kai: „Yes. I would like to know, how it was like. ALL the details."
Aha, da sind sie wieder, seine Gefühle! Er WILL oder MÖCHTE etwas!
Stan: „You would?"
Kai: „Yes."
That is really funny, and Kai is somehow confused by himself.
Stan: „The dead are unpredictable!"

Xev is on her own on the bridge. And she is thinking about something, that is quite clear.
Xev: „Lexx?"
Lexx: „Yes, captain?"
Xev: „I want you to fly away from here."
Lexx: „I can not to do that. I am out of energy and I am not able to fly unless I eat. And, captain?..."
Die echte Xev würde das doch schon längst wissen!
Xev: „Yes?"
The Lexx's passing the desert planet right at this moment.
Lexx: „I am very hungry! I must eat soon."
Xev: „But you can still blow up planets, right?"
Lexx: „I can still blow up planets for now, but I am very hungry."
Stan is entering the bridge, but Xev is not aware of him.
Xev: „I'm going to give you a new order."
Lexx: „I will do as you command. You are my captain."
Xev: „Lexx, I want you to....!"
Stan: „What do you think, you are doing?"
She is surprised and is not ending her open sentence while Stan is listening … HE got her!!! So her excuse is pretty lame:
Xev: „Practicing?"
Stan: „Practicing. Well, now, I say that is enough practicing. Look, Xev, I kept my end of the bargain, you had your turn as captain. Do the key back to me, now!"
Xev: „How?"
Stan: „How? I don't know how. Look, you took the key, you give it back."
Xev is grinning.
Xev: „I brought you over the edge of sexual ecstasy. So you could give me the key. The same has to happen to me that I can give it back to you. So, how am I supposed to get there?"
Stan: „Well, the same way. I am ready for round 2."
Xev: „But I did not get over the extreme edge of sexual ecstasy in round 1."
Stan: „Oh yes, You did!"
Xev: „No, I didn't."
Stan: „OK, well, how did you get the key?"
Xev: „I didn't have to be over the edge of sexual ecstasy to get the key. Only you had to be there to give it away."
Stan: „So, so you were faking?"
Xev: „Yes."
Stan is laughing. He's climbing up the control blossom.
Stan: „I don't believe you, it was so... "
Xev: „What?"
Stan: „It was so... real."
Xev: „Believe it, Stan, you didn't bring me anywhere near the edge of sexual ecstasy. And if it didn't happen in round 1, it is also not going to happen in round 2."

Kai and 790 in the cryo chamber. Kai's just entering. 790 helpless, because he can not get over the barrier on the ground.
790: „I don't know, what you ever saw in her."
Kai uplifts him off the floor and the trap.
Kai: „I did not see anything in her."
790: „Exactly! - Kai?"
Kai: „Yes, 790?"
790: „You know, that I am really a woman, don't you?"
Kai: „No, I do not know that."
790: „What do you mean?"
Kai is fumbling on the cables of the protein generator on the control panel of the cryo pods.
Kai: „You are a robot head."
790: „With a woman trapped inside. Can't you see that?"
Kai: „No, I can not see that!"
Kai is sorting things out, for example some fabrics stuff from Xev and her intermixture with Stan.
790: „How can you do that to me? After the humiliation I just put myself through with Tweedle for you? How can you just slap me in the face now?"
Kai is turning around and facing 790. He seems to be affected. He lifts 790 along with his board off the ground face-to-face.
Kai: „790, I have to admit, there is a possibility that you are in deed a woman inside."
Then Kai is carrying 790 and his board out of the cryo chamber.

Xev is strolling through Stanley's bedchamber and thinking about something.

Stan meanwhile is trying to control the Lexx, but the ship is not responding to him. 
Stan: „OK! Jeeee... Lexx? Lexx, this is your captain, Stanley H. Tweedle. Remember me?"
Silence.
Stan: „Lexx, you can't have forgotten me that quickly. Remember all those planets we blew up together? Lexx?"
Xev is entering the bridge.
Xev: „I will give it back to you."
Stan gets off the control blossom.
Xev: „And we aren't going to crash."
Stan: „Yeah, how can you give it back to me, if I don't... you know...pffft... do it for you?"
Xev: „I will simply bring myself over the edge of sexual ecstasy."
Stan: „You can do that? I mean, on your own?"
Xev: „Sure."
Xev is entering the blossom now.
Stan: „What, well, look, what, you know, the Lexx's orbit is decaying and we will crash, only if he gets something to eat soon and the only things out there to eat are those two planets. So, ..."
Xev: „Lexx."
Lexx: „Yes, captain?"
Xev: „How long, before we are directly aimed on the planet Water?"
Lexx: „In four minutes and 12 seconds I will be aimed directly at the water planet."
Xev: „Then, please, when you are directly aimed at it... I want you to destroy it."
Lexx: „May I eat the chunks that fly away, when I blow it up?"
Xev: „You eat and drink till you're filled."
Lexx: „Thank you, captain."
Stan: „I thought, you didn't want to blow up the two planets?"
Xev: „I changed my position."
Stan: „OK, wouldn't Fire be the better choice to blow up? I mean, if we have to."
Xev: „They are both weird planets. Anyway, we are aimed at Water now. And we are running out of time."
Stan: „Yeah, - oh, where are we going?"
She is taking Stan off the bridge.
Xev: „I may not have reached the highest sexual ecstasy in round 1, but maybe we will make some progress in round 2."

Kai is standing beside his cryo pod, clearly waiting for something. 790 is trying to lick Kai's foot, like a dog, not moving anywhere far away from his 'master'. Kai is simply lifting his foot so that 790 has a better look in front of them.
Stan: „You were wearing, you know... just some kind of tight and ..."
When Xev and Stan are entering the cryo chamber, Kai's waiting for them, strikes his hair strain out of his face, before he gets in their way. Not letting Xev cross him.
Xev had her arm around Stan's shoulder. Stan and Xev seem both to be irritated.
Xev: „I'm going to return the key to Stanley."
Kai does not let her go. He stops her with his shoulder and then suddenly kisses her - long and hard. Xev seems not to be very pleased. Stan takes a step back and complains: „Hey, she is with me!"
Kai: „Why?"
790: „Oh, universe of despair!"
Stan is really jealous watching everything from behind.
Kai: „Do you want me, Xev?"
790: „Oh, please, Kai, she is a trap!"
Xev: „This is not the right time."
Kai: „Why not?"
Xev: „Because...."
Kai looks very pale, very dead, besides his strange and quite 'emotional' behavior.
Kai: „Because why?"
Xev: „Because I return the key to Stan. - We have lots of time later. Let me pass."
Kai: „You must achieve the required level of sexual ecstasy in order to transfer the key. Stan cannot bring you there."
Stan (protesting): „Yes, I can!"
Xev: „I can reach it by my own."
Kai is striking Xev's hair strain out of her faces as well. Very soft gesture. - Very much alive, also his face … eyes … winking many times, unusual alive and 'moved'.
Kai: „You know that level of ecstasy well, don't you?"
Xev: „I do. Very well."
Kai: „Like me you have been there before."
Xev: „Many times."
Kai: „And I will bring you there again."
He impales her with his brace thing right aiming into her guts. Xev seems to be surprised, screaming just a little bit out of pain.
Kai is throwing Xev at the cryo pod. Life is clearly leaving her.
790: „Good shot, now you can call yourself an assassin!"
Kai lets the brace stick inside her and even moves it a little bit for doing more damage. Kai observes Xevs face for any sign of approaching death VERY intensely … very close - the embrace of lovers actually!
Stan (not believing it): „Kai, you killed Xev!"
Kai: „Hold up your hand, Stanley!"
Stan: „You killed Xev!"
Kai is lifting Xev's right hand! 
Kai: „Hold up your hand, Stanley!"
Kai is urging him.
Stan: „You killed her!"
He can't believe it! - Kai is pulling his brace out of Xev's guts and taking Stanley's hand in a firm grip.
There comes the key, bright lightning. Transfer is complete. And then Xev is falling on the floor and vanishing with a loud scream in the voice of Prince.
Stanley: „Wow!"
Kai: „Did he tell the Lexx to destroy Water?"
Stan: „Who?"
Kai: „Him, - Xev?"
Stan: „Yeah, Xev did, how did you know?"
Kai: „Because... we are close to the point where the Lexx will be directly aimed at it! Quickly. You must tell Lexx not to destroy it."
Stan nods. They are leaving the cryo camber in a hurry.
790: „Kai? Kai. Kai, give me a lift."
They leave 790 behind.

Stan is climbing up the control blossom.
Stan: „Lexx, don't destroy the water planet."
Lexx: „As you command, Stan."
Stan is relieved.
Stan: „How much time do we have left?"
Lexx: „I was going to blow up the water planet in 53 seconds, Stanley."
Stan: „OK, Lexx, I am your captain now! Don't listen to anyone else anymore ever. Just to do as I command, OK?"
Lexx: „You are my captain now, Stan. I always obey my captain."
Stan is leaving the blossom now. And sitting down on the bottom.
Stan: „Kai, you killed Xev."
Kai: „No, I did not. I killed Prince."
Stan: „What do you mean? Xev, Xev was Prince, and Prince was Xev?"
Stan gets up.
Kai: „Yes, or at least what I believe to be Prince."
Kai seems to be thinking about this. Is he concerned somehow?
Stan: „That's what you meant by 'him'?"
Kai is not replying but leaving the bridge.
Stan: „Prince was Xev, Xev was Prince?"
Stanley is clearly confused.
Stan: „Oh, oh boy!"

Back in the cryo chamber.
Stan: „Where is Xev now?"
Kai is carrying 790 on his board on his shoulder.
Kai: „Likely on the planet Fire, where we left her."
Stan: „We better be on our way down to Fire!"
Kai: „We have no time to waste."
Stan: „Does that mean that I didn't make love with Xev after all?"
790: „Doesn't matter, she is still trash!"
Stan: „I really thought it was her."
Kai: „The Xev you saw, was a perfect reproduction. There was no way to tell."
Stan: „So how could you tell?"
Kai: „Prince did not kiss like Xev."
I wonder, how does he know that so well? When did Xev actually kiss him? I mean, REALLY kissed him? 1.04 - Letzte Folge der ersten Staffel am Ende, als alle gerettet sind, bis auf der Rest der Schattenessenz in Kai selbst! Also Kai war da nicht ganz er selbst!

Now in a moth flying down to the planet Fire.
Stan: „So does that mean, that I had the ultimate and sexual satisfaction with a man or a woman?"
Kai: „I think, you are best place to answer that question yourself, Stan."
Stan: „OK, then she definitely was. I mean, I had the sex of my lifetime, it really was - so she had to be."
Kai looks pretty skeptical to Stanley, seems to have some doubts but not telling him so.

3.09 - Garden

The moth is flying over the surface of the planet Fire and searching for Xev. Stan is shaking his head in disbelief. They will never find her. Fire is just too large. Dune after dune and no sign of her at all.
She - in the meanwhile - is lying on one of the steel structures that support the stability of the Hooktown city tower. She's not looking well. She survived until now without water, but now she's getting very dry and desperately singing the BG-Lied to herself all alone and exhausted. She is covered with dust. Sie rechnet mit dem Tod? Will kämpferisch untergehen? Music dulls the pain?
Xev: „Howayh yah, humba ray..."

Stan: „To you really think, that she actually could have survived?"
Kai: „Who?"
What a weird question. Is Kai thinking of the wrong Prince-Xev?
Kai: „Who?"
Stan: „Who? Xev, I mean, the real Xev, not the Prince Xev. - I mean the Xev that was Prince in Xev's body."
Kai: „She may be alive, or she may not, we do not know for certain either way."
They finally reach the city Hooktown and fly around it. They were actually very close to Xev and flying below her. But she is almost unconscious and not aware of the presence of her friends. But then she hears something and she starts to get up and gets back some hope.
Xev (whispering): „Kai. Stan."
Does she think that is some illusion? She is very weak and almost not able to get up on her feet.
Xev: „I am up here. I am up here!"
Kai: „There are no footprints in sand."
Stan: „If there are no footprints that means she must still be in the city, right?"
Kai: „Perhaps."
Stan: „If there are no footprints, she has to be here."
Kai: „They have balloons on this planet. We do not know, if Xev is still alive."
Kai is looking downwards, not really believing that there really is any chance. But Stan is looking up and he is successful.
Stan: „Yes, we do!"
Stan is pointing up. Xev is waving them from a metal structure below underneath the city.
Xev (covered with dust): „High guys, took you long enough."
Stan: „You want some water?"
Xev: „Yeah."
She is drinking very much and very fast. Kai in the meanwhile is still controlling the moth is looking up and sideward, not exactly looking happy.

Back on the Lexx, Xev is taking a shower and Stan is rumbling close to her.
Stan: „I am tired. I'm tired of being stuck here, and I'm tired to be the captain of this ship. I just, look, I just want to find some place with a little bit of peace and quiet. Now, is that, is that too much to ask?"
Xev is gesturing him that he should not look in her direction while she's naked and taking a shower.
Xev: „No!"
Stan: „I mean, we have been looking for a new home all this time, right? And are we any closer to finding it? And suppose we do break out of this orbit? What then? Where are we gonna go, what are we gonna do? Are we gonna find some place better? Or just gonna get to eat by something terrible?"
Stan als Kai's Stimme? Das ‚Leben nach dem Tod' ist auch nur ein Gefängnis ohne Ausweg? KANN Kai da raus?
Xev: „What are you trying to say, Stanley?"
Stan: „What I am saying, Xev, is, that the light universe is gone. Now we are in the dark zone - in the universe of evil and chaos and depravity, - and maybe the water planet is as good as it gets here. Listen to me just one more time."

Xev is done with her shower. They're reaching the bridge together, Xev is still drying her hair.
Stan: „If there is a city down there that is OK, then we don't have to run anymore."
Xev: „Yeah, until that place gets attacked by balloons from Fire."
Stan: „Well, Kai will protect us, you will, won't you, Kai?"
Kai listens to Stan rumbling and seems to think about it. This would cancel his one and only propose of staying semi-alive.
Kai: „Until my proto blood runs out. And I cannot protect the both of you all the time, - unless you stay together, all the time."
Stan and Xev are not very glad by thinking of such a close relationship together. Kai is facing them, but Stan is leaving the three of them to go to the control blossom.
790: „Protect me, stuff muffin!"
Stan: „Oh, yeah, that's gonna happen. - Lexx?"
Lexx: „Yes, Stan?"
Lexx is speaking very slowly and weak.
Stan: „Lexx, I know, your stomach is empty, but I am asking you as a personal favor, do you think that you could muster just enough energy to just get us out of this terrible part of the universe?"
Lexx: „I can't fly anywhere, until I eat something, I am sorry, Stan."
Stan: „790, look, how long is it before Lexx's orbit decays completely and we crash onto one of the two planet?"
790: „We will crash in 151 hours."
So the real Xev was stuck on Fire for about 40 hours, and lasted there, where a normal human being would last only a few hours!
Stan: „How much food do you need to eat to break out of this orbit?"
Lexx: „A lot, Stan. I cannot flying until I eat a lot of food, Stan. I am very hungry."
Stan: „Yeah, yeah."
Xev: „Kai, you said, the cities on Water all had lots of food."
Kai: „They do. But I do not know, if we can transport enough in time to get the Lexx out of this is orbit, before we crash."
790: „Kai, you propel me out of my orbit. Uuuuuuuh."
Kai: „Thank you, 790." - Aber SO begeistert ist er nicht, er ist nur höflich. Mh, eigentlich sagt er bei solchen Schmeicheleien ziemlich häufig: Thank you. Ein höflicher Untoter? Sonst kümmert er sich um solche Belanglosigkeiten doch auch nicht!
Xev: „Well, we are running out of time. So we should make a decision soon."
Stan: „I don't know, I don't know, I don't know what decision to make. All right, I am gonna sleep on it, that is my decision. Okay?"
790: „I want to go to bed too, Kai."
Kai: „You do not sleep, 790."
790: „Who said anything about sleep?"
Xev throws the wet towel on the robot head.

Stan is sleeping in his bed and dreaming of a forest with a lot of flying flowers around him. Very beautiful.
Stan: „Yes, she does. No, she doesn't. Yes, she does. No, she doesn't." He picks some leafs of a flower blossom, when a white dressed Lyekka appears suddenly in front of him.
Lyekka: „Yes, she does!"
Stan: „Hi, Lyekka."
Lyekka: „Hi, Stanley!"
He gives her his blossom and she is snuffling on it.
Stan: „Oh, I missed you."
Lyekka: „I missed you, too."
Stan: „Are you alive?"
Lyekka: „No."
Stan: „Is this...am I having a dream?"
Lyekka: „Yes, isn't it wonderful?"
She's dancing in front of him.
Stan: „Yeah! - Lyekka, I was thinking..."
Lyekka: „What?"
Stan: „You are a plant, right?"
Lyekka: „Yes."
She's smelling on the flower again.
Stan: „And you are smooth right around the bent?"
Lyekka: „Yes, I am smooth just around the bent."
Stanley is laughing.
Stan: „That means, that you can't make love in a normal human kind of way."
Lyekka: „No, Stan, I cannot."
Stan: „Do you think, you could in a creative way?"
Lyekka: „What do you mean, Stanley?"
She is picking pieces from the blossom in her hand.
Stan: „What I mean, a woman can make a man feel good, if she wants to, you know, when she does certain things right."
She is licking her lips.
Lyekka: „I want to make you feel good, Stan."
Stan: „O. K.."
Stan is licking his lips, too. In expectant of something wonderful.
Stan: „I am ready."
Her mouth is getting bigger and bigger. And she is somehow growling loudly.
Stan: „What was that?"
Lyekka: „I am hungry, Stanley. I want to make you feel really good!"
Her mouth is getting bigger and bigger and bigger. Ready to suck him in. And Stanley is waking up in horror. Sweating like hell.
Stan: „A dream! Just a dream."
But he also has a stiff stick...hehehe.

They fly down to the planet by a moth.
Xev: „So, Stan, what's the priority? Food for the Lexx, or finding a new home?"
Stan: „What about both?"
Xev: „We have to choose."
Stan: „Well, you know, Xev, I'm not really good at this choosing thing."
Xev is nodding.
Xev: „Kai, I know you don't have wants, but what do you think we should do?"
Kai is sitting on the right side of the moths - next to Stan, who is in the middle of the three of them.
Kai: „I think, you should make a choice, that brings you happiness."
Kai's face mimic is somehow serious and thoughtful. He clearly thinks about more than he is telling them!
Stan: „That is really helpful, Kai, thanks a lot, pal."
And they are reaching on the planet Water a city with many food-filled ships reaching and leaving it on a regular trip-schedule.

Stan: „Well, Xev, there is our big part of food."

They fly underneath the city where there is a lot of equipment on the underside. Then on the surface of it there is a big garden. They are landing and find three girls singing a silly children song while digging in dark earth, working on a field of flowers in the shape of the shadow-sign, but with only four branches/segments:

„Garden it does give, give, give.
Garden gives us, give, give, give.
Food and planes blow so sweet.
Garden gives good things to eat.
All the whole day long.

Garden it does give, give, give..."

They stop singing when they are aware of the presence of the three visitors. The three girls are covered with some clothes that look like flower blossoms. Each one in a somehow different style with different colors.
They bow and Stan does just the same in return, laughing happily. He likes, what he sees there: attractive woman with funny bare clothes on.
Stan: „This could be the place!"

Back in a big glass house, where there is a lot of growing of tropical plants, fruit filled trees - green and growing everywhere.
Girl: „There are many cities on Water. Here we grow food for all of them."
Xev: „How many of you grow food?"
Girl: „Myself, Tulip, and Lilly. I guess that it's just the three of us. Right now - anyway. I think."
Kai: „Are the ships all yours?"
Girl: „The ships deliver the food to the other cities."
Xev: „What do you get in return?"
Girl: „In return?"
Xev: „Yes, I mean, you are sending all this food out, do you ever get anything back?"
Girl: „On Garden we like to grow things. The beautiful garden give, Xev, - makes us happy."
She reaches into the garden and gives Xev a strong smelling flower in her hand. Xev is very pleased by the aroma.
Stan: „Just out of curiosity, you said there are just the three of you? No males?"
Stan is eating one of the fruits the girl gave him.
Girl: „Of course."
Xev: „Where?"
Girl: „Everywhere. The soil is very fertile here."
Stan: „Not bad."
Girl: „We are here to nurture, to make things rise up and grow strong, I think."
Stan: „Well, it is working for me."
Girl: „It makes us happy."
Stan: „Well, you could make me be happy, too."
One of the girls is sprinkling a flower in the shape of a woman sexual organ with a can of the shape of a penis. The second girl is smelling on a mustache, she just picked up. And she puts it in a basket.
Xev: „If we get all our moths here, we might have enough food for the Lexx. - But I think, we have to start now!"
Xev is playing with a big flower in her hand. Kai is watching the girl continuing sprinkling.
Stan: „I agree, except - „
Xev: „What?"
Xev is holding the flower and shaking it, because it was erupting some kind of glittering powder. That pleased her. Kai and meanwhile is watching the flower girl.
Stan: „Well, Xev, look around you, it is a beautiful city and we have all this delicious food. And attractive people! I mean, -"
One of the other girls is waving back to Stan. He is grinning.
Stan: „I mean, what's the hurry?"
Xev: „Less than 150 hours is the hurry, if you remember?"
Kai is watching the girls as well. He might be thinking about something.
Stan: „I don't care of that anymore."
Xev is turning around and leaving Stan. Kai is a deeply thinking about something, is he suspicious or searching for danger or is he actually figuring out, that Xev and Stan finally reached their final destination, a happy place? He is following one of the girls deep into the green forest.
Just at that moment a lot of different flowers and plants are erupting this glittering powder. Kai seems to be unusual motivated, when he approaches the girl sprinkling the forest.
Kai: „Hello!"
Daphne: „Hello."
Kai: „Daphne-do, where are your man?"
Daphne: „Well, everywhere."
Kai: „Where everywhere?"
Daphne: „Yeah, this is a male, see?"
She's pointing on a flower blossoms.
Daphne: „And this is female. You know, some of the plants are both, male and female at the same time. - That. I like them all."
Kai is approaching her even more, getting very close.
Kai: „You are a female, are you not?"
Daphne: „Yes, I think so."
Kai: „So, there are male plants but no male humans here on this city?"
Daphne: „No, I suppose not."
Kai: „Stanley will be happy to hear that."
Daphne: „We like dead things."
She gives him a smart little pink flower. And he takes it.
Kai: „Why?"
She is stroking his hair strain out of his face and behind his ear. He seems to be moved somehow. And watching her, while she is walking around him and observing him.
Daphne: „Well, when things die here, we put them back into the soil."
She is even touching and stroking his ponytail.
Daphne: „That they can help create new life. - You can help us create new life."

Stan is singing the song of the girls and is searching for a victim for his obsession. And he finds one of the girls sprinkling another flower.
Stan: „Hey, Lilly, I really like this place you got here!"
Lilly: „It is very attractive."
Stan: „Very attractive."
Lilly: „It is full of beautiful flowers."
Stan: „The kind of flowers I like to pluck."
Both are grinning. But the girl is continuing sprinkling.
Stan: „I don't making you feel uncomfortable, am I?"
Lilly: „No."
Stan: „You know, since I'm going to be around for a while, I should tell you a little something about myself?"
She is nodding.
Stan: „Well, you see, I am just a guy with hope and dreams. Big heart, sense an adventure, sometimes I am attracted to beautiful things."
Lilly: „Like flowers?"
Stan: „Yeah, yeah, like flowers, Lilly."
Big grin.
Stan: „Yeah, you know, but sometimes even in a big, great, beautiful bouquet, there is just one flower that stands out and puffs all the rest."
Lilly: „Yes. There is only one plant, that you like more than all the others. That you want to touch, to stroke, and love all to pieces."
Stan: „I know exactly, what you mean."
Lilly: „You do?"
Stan: „Yeah, really, and I want to water your garden, Lilly, can I do that?"
Lilly: „Yes!"
He wants to kiss her, but she is turning away, still grinning, and gives him her can.
Stan: „This could take a while."

Stan: „Dead man, what's going?"
Kai is embraced by Daphne. Looks like a pretty close relationship.
Kai: „There are no male humans on this city. Only male plants."
Stan: „What, what do you mean? There is just you, me and Xev?"
Kai: „And the three female gardeners."
Stan: „That is all?"
Kai: „That appears to be all, yes."
Stan is grinning.
Stan: „Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Yeah, for Xev's sake."
Stan is leaving. A very bright and colorful Ara-parrot is landing on Kai's shoulder. Kai seems to be fitting more and more into this whole environment.

All the plants are erupting their powder again.
And Stan is waving to one of the girls, when Xev is approaching him and watching him.
Stan: „There are no men here."
Xev: „You are right. I don't wanna stay!"
Stan: „No? No problem. - I resign, you can be captain of the Lexx."
Xev is nodding.
Stan: „Look, I found a place that I really, really like. OK? You can, too, I am sure, that there is some city that is just right for you somewhere on this planet."
Stanley is watching the girl sprinkling the plants.
Xev: „What about Kai? Where does he go? I mean, he can't protect us both at two different places, right? - And these two planets are at war, Stan."
Xev: „Why don't we just get as much food as we can and go back to the Lexx and find a planet that suits us both?"
Stan: „I am happy here! - Look, Xev, I mean it, I resign, OK? You know, take the moths, take food back to the Lexx, I don't care!"
Xev: „I don't have the key."
Stan: „Well, you know, what you got to do, to get it."
Xev is approaching Stanley and grinning. Then she grabs his throat.
Xev: „It can also be passed on the edge of death, remember?"
Stan: „So what you gonna do, Xev, kill me?"
Xev: „Maybe I should."
She is deadly serious.

Xev is searching for Kai in the forest.
Xev: „Kai? Kai?"
Kai: „Yes?"
Xev: „Where are you?"
Kai: „Over here."
Xev: „Where?"
He seems to be close, but Xev is still not able to see him.
Kai: „Here."
And the parrot is croaking. - Xev finally finds Kai, lying in what looks like a corvin filled with mother-earth, surrounded by freshly plant flowers. And moss. Only his face shows out, the rest of his body is buried.
Kai: „Xev, if you want to feed the Lexx, you must go now. Returned with as many moths and moth breeders as are ready."
Xev: „What are you doing?"
Kai: „Decomposing." - is his emotionless answer.
Xev: „Why are you buried in the dirt?"
Kai: „It is the natural way for all dead things."
Xev: „So, you just stay in the soil until what, until you rot?"
She is kneeling down beside him.
Kai: „Unless you request otherwise. As I am de-carbonized, it can take some time."
Xev: „I'm leaving."
Kai: „Where are you going?"
Xev: „I don't know. Somewhere better than this place."
She is leaving Kai with his parrot.

The sun is rising in a spectacular sunset. And the plants and blossoms of the garden are spraying their powder again.
Stan is very happy and checking his own breath by breathing in his hands and sniffling on it. There seems to be an after smell. Nevertheless Stan is approaching one of the girls sprinkling more flowers. The third one that he hadn't tried yet.
He is whistling and when the girl bows down to one of the plants, he's able to look at her butt. He is thanking the divine forces for such a chance and touches her butt with his left hand. The girl is not reacting at all. Stanley tries it with two hands again.
Stan: „Tulip?"
Tulip: „Yes?"
Stan: „Did you mind, if I, mh..."
Tulip: „I want to give you something. - Is that okay?"
Stan: „Oh yeah, oh yeah, that is OK!"
He tries to touch her even more.
Tulip: „It is juicy..."
Stan: „Oh yeah."
Tulip: „And sweet..."
Stan: „Oh, I like sweet!"
Tulip: „And it is slippery..."
Stan is getting very excited. And touches her hair curls.
Tulip: „And, and it is soft."
Stan: „Oh yeah."
Tulip: „And ripe."
Stan: „OK, let's get started, ready, ready, ready."
He makes a kiss mouth.
Tulip gives him a fruit.
Tulip: „Take a bite!"
Stan: „Ah, yeah, I had one of these before."
Tulip: „I wanted you to have it."
Stan: „Thanks. Anything else you want to give me?"
Tulip: „Amh, yeah?"
She is taking some steps backward.
Stan: „Yeah."
Tulip: „Yeah."
Stan is getting excited again.

Xev in the meanwhile is playing with some fishes in a little pond, stroking them with a blue flower and singing:
„Garden, it does live, live, live.
Garden, it does give, give, give."
She is starting to scream instead of singing, sounds desperate. Is she herself or just very sad? Then she is finding a very colorful mushroom close to her and with her curious nature, smelling on it and, after looking if somebody is watching, eating that thing with one bite. It seems to taste well.

Tulip is still sprinkling more plants.
Stan: „I am ready. Are you?"
Tulip: „Yes."
Stan: „Good."
And Stan is scrapping the girl and kissing her flat on the mouth. The girl is not reacting at all, stiff like the dead man.
Tulip: „Oh, well, it is growing!"
Stan: „Oh, yeah, you got that right."
The girl means something different than Stan and is looking at a plant behind him.
Tulip: „I like it, when they grow fast, very fast."
Stan: „Ditto."
Stan is grabbing her breasts and she seems to be irritated a little bit.
Stan: „Oh, I want you! - I want you, NOW!"
Tulip: „You want me?"
She does not know, what to make of that.
Stan: „I want to pluck my seat in your garden."
Tulip: „Oh, OK, like this?"
She is showing him a plant seat.
Tulip: „Every one of this, - this far apart - (she shows him)-, that way they grow the best."
Stan throws the seat away.
Stan: „No, no, I want you to do to me, what I know, you wanna do."
She is sprinkling his face.
Stan (disappointed): „Thank you. Good."

The morning comes and Kai is still decomposing in the soil with the parrot as his guard. And there are even a few flowers growing on him now. But they do not look very healthy.
Stan: „Kai."
Kai: „Hello, Stanley."
Stan: „How is your decomposition going?"
Kai: „Oh, the process of decomposition is a very long one. Once my proto blood fails, my body will very gradually return to the earth in the form of inorganic basic components."
Stan: „Well, whatever makes you happy."
Kai: „It does not make me happy."
Stan: „Very strange, you know that?"
But Kai does not mind and Stan leaves.

Xev is still sitting at the pond, but seems to be high from the mushroom. She's playing with the blue flower again. Moving it back and forth. She is waving to the fishes in the water.
Xev: „What do you think, I should do?"
And the water surface is showing her:
- An ugly and dangerous cluster lizard.
- Her teachers in the box: „Xev of B3K. Xev of B3K. Xev of B3K. Wrong, correct answer would be..."
- The red hair Xev and the dying blue hair Zev (Eva Habermann), the ugly fat Zev, the child Zev, the baby Zev being stroked by mechanical hands and robots. „Gooood baby."
- A fighting red hair Xev at 'the Web'.
- Stanley is waiting for Xev to fulfill his needs in 'The Key'.
- Stan: „Touch me, touch me, touch me!"
- Stanley processed by the spider, in the Web.
- Kai: „Xev, I was thinking about you." from 'the Key'.
- The grinning and living Kai at Brigadoom.
- Kai: „I want you. I want you - right now." (the Key)
- 'yellow-eyes Kai' ('Wake the Dead')
The Xev in the present is whipping back and forth, lonely, while thinking of her life and of her wants and needs.

Stan: „OK, Tulip, let me, look, I am desperate, OK? - I plant your seats, water your garden, I hole your row, I do anything, humiliate myself ...anything, - just answer me one question: do you actually know, what 'sex' is?"
Tulip: „Sex is, when a female plant is fertilized by a male plant. And a new plant is created."
Stan: „Do you know anything about sex between people?"
She is laughing
Stan: „Yeah, what a concept. - Look, I wanna teach you about sex between people, I want you to learn that, OK, can you do then?"
Tulip: „If I can?"
Stan: „Oh. Good, and so it goes..."
Stan is kissing her again, but she is not exactly responding.
Stan: „You see, it takes two to do this. I can't do it all by myself, you have to help me. OK?"
Tulip: „Oh, OK... that's how to do it."
She is hugging him and somehow trying to kiss him, but there is no passion, no emotion just a copycat of Stan's actions before. A children kiss instead of a tongue one.
Stan: „This is not making me happy."
Stan is very disappointed and sitting down. Trulip really seems to care.
Tulip: „I know, how to make you happy."
Stan: „Yeah, how?"
Tulip: „I could give you a nice plant."
Stan: „You know, right now I'm not that interested in plants."
Tulip: „But that's what we do here in Garden, we grow plants to make people happy."
And she is jumping up and down in excitement.
Stan: „See, women with no clothes on, very, very close to me, that makes me happy.... Plants, that doesn't make me happy."
Tulip: „Surely we could create a plant, that would make you happy. At least a bit."
Stan: „You know, right now I can honestly say, more than ever before, that there is no kind of plant, that you could create..."
He starts thinking about Lyekka
Stan: „Any kind of plant?"
Tulip: „Any kind you have ever seen."
Stan: „Yeah, but how?"
Tulip: „We can take it from you, from your dreams."
Stan: „Yeah? Perfect."

They are starting a ceremony with little flower crowns and Hawaii looking outfit. All of them sit in a circle on the ground.
„Grow, Garden, grow, Garden.
Dream, Garden, dream."
They give Stan also a flower crown.
Stan: „Do I have to?"
He does not feel comfortable with this female stuff on his head.
„Grow, Garden, grow, Garden.
Dream, Garden, dream.
Grow, Garden, grow Garden.
Dream, Garden, dream.
Grow, Garden, grow, Garden.
Dream, Garden, dream."
And then they start eating what looks like just the same kind of mushroom that Xev tried before on the pool.
Tulip: „Let the garden dream."
Stan: „Mh."
Tulip: „Stanley. Let the garden dream."
Stan is offered a mushroom as well. He is skeptical, but though starts to eat it.
Stan: „Oh, few...."
It does not taste well.
Then they start drinking water or something just to wash away the foully taste.
Flowers and blossoms start to hover in the air, just as in the dream that Stanley had of Lyekka not long ago. He is grinning. Closing his eyes. - Then one girl starts taking something off his mouth. And they take it to the fertile soil a few meters behind Stanley's back, where the girl plants it.
Girls: „A beautiful garden gives."
She returns to her sisters and Stan, and the girls starts meditating and the plant is clearly growing very fast. The girls start to get excited and even ecstatic. Like an orgasm. Until when Lyekka is ready and gets out of her blossom, covered in white and yellow and orange fabrics with a funny little cap on her head (little branches).
Lyekka: „Stan!"
He is getting up and hurrying to her, where he helps her to get out of the blossom.
Stan: „Oh, oh Lyekka. - I was just dreaming about you."
Lyekka: „I am happy, you dreamt about me."
He kisses her enthusiastic.
Lyekka: „I am hungry."
She's taking a closer look at the girls still sitting in the circle. And they are grinning back, - also very excited.
Stan: „No, Lyekka. Look. - I know, you need protein, but I don't want you to eat them. OK? - Listen, I want you to,... I want you to teach them, how to please a man. In creative ways. Yes?"
Lyekka: „I like you, Stan."
She is nodding, grinning and stroking his nose. But though, she is very hungry. Stanley points to the ground.
Stan: „Oh, look, Lyekka, hey, I bet, they taste good."
There is a bunch of worms on the ground. But she would appreciate the girls instead. And points at them instead.

Stan tries to find something to eat for Lyekka - and thinks of Kai again, taking her to him in the soil.
Kai: „Hello, Lyekka."
The flowers that was planted on him seem to have died away. But the parrot is still with him.
Lyekka: „He is dead."
She is smelling something and following her nose.
Stan: „You got that right. - So, how is it going now, pal?"
Lyekka in the meanwhile is leaving him. She smells something interesting!
Kai: „The same as ever."
Mh, it is not THAT long ago, that he got buried in the soil, SO what exactly does he mean? That he finally 'lives' the part of him, that was hidden all the time? So that he finally 'enjoys' his end? He is talking about his main mood - or however you want to call it, right?
Stan: „Same as ever."
Stan: „Lyekka, Lyekka?"
Stan starts to search for her.

Lyekka is with one of the girls now. All alone.
Lyekka: „I like it here, and I like you."
Tulip: „You do? Oh, you are my favorite plant ever.... I'll do, whatever you want."
The girl is even kneeling in front of Lyekka in worship.
Lyekka: „You look really tasty."
Tulip: „I do?"
Lyekka strokes her soft face.
Lyekka: „I want to eat you."
Tulip: „Oh, you do?"
The girl is very excited now.
Lyekka: „You know, I am a very hungry plant."
Tulip: „Oh, I want to make you happy, I really do. ... you are a very beautiful plant."
Lyekka: „Thank you!"
Tulip: „I want to make you happy. I want to make you happy."
Lyekka: „But who will look after the garden?"
Tulip: „Oh, another gardener will come. And she will want to make you happy, too."
Lyekka: „Touch me."
And the girl is touching Lyekka's offered hand. And screaming in excitement. Lyekka eats her.
Lyekka: „Mh, this place is yummy."
Stan is just coming and sees the abandoned Tulip's hat on the floor.
Stan: „You ate her."
Lyekka: „Oh, she was delicious. But the worms were not very tasty, Stan."
And really, there suddenly is a new gardener approaching, a blond one.
Daisy: „Hi, my name is Daisy."
Stan: „Hi!"
Lyekka: „Hi."
Stan: „Oh, there was, there was..."
Lyekka: „She is the new gardener."
Stan: „The new gardener. Oh, oh, that is nice."
And Xev just comes along. And is stopping short in front of Lyekka.
Xev: „Lyekka?"
Lyekka: „Xev."
Lyekka is offering Xev her hands, but Xev seems to be glad and careful at the same time and not touching Lyekka's hands.
Xev: „What is going on, Stan?"
Stan: „Well, Lyekka is here now and she's going to teach Lilly and Daphne-do how to, you know, make a man feel good. Want a lesson?"
Xev: „No. Thank you."
Daisy in the meanwhile is sprinkling plants and starting her work just where Tulip ended it.
Xev: „I am leaving."
Lyekka: „I don't want you to leave. Stan."
Stan: „Oh no, I'm going to stay with you, Lyekka, definitely."
Xev: „I am taking Kai with me."
Stan: „Well, go-ahead, take him, he's not doing much here anyway. - Xev, I'm sure, there is some starved-man town somewhere on this planet that will keep you busy."
Somehow she seems to be drunk or high or something, from the mushroom?
Xev: „I am sure, there is."
Stan: „The garden gives. Oh hoho, Lyekka, Lyekka, Lyekka!"
She is taking Stan with her deep into the forest.

The flower that Xev was holding during the whole night is now dry and dead. She throws it the way into a pond of water, melancholic.
Xev: „I ... am ... leaving."
It sounds final.
Kai is still watching his parrot when Xev approaches.
Xev: „I'm going back to the Lexx, I'm going to get 790 and then I'm going to find the right place for me to live, on Water."
Kai is not answering at all.
Xev: „I want you to come with me, Kai. - And want to find a place for us to live together."
Kai: „There is no right place for the dead. To live."
Xev is breathing hard, fighting with her tears, looking at the parrot and then leaving - alone.
Kai: „Goodbye, Xev."

Stan is fed by the girls and Lyekka, they are surrounding him like a little pasha with his harem, putting fruits in his mouth.
Stan: „Oh, that is good. And this one..."
Xev is watching Stan with his harem. Stan has a  very good time.
Stan: „Lyekka. I like Lyekka."
She kisses him and he begs: „More, more, more."
She licks his nose.
Stan: „Yeah! - Xev, here."
He throws a fruit to Xev.
Stan: „Don't you think, we've been through a lot's together, haven't we? You and me, Kai, robot head, the big bug."
Xev: „Yeah, I'll say Goodbye to the Lexx for you."
Stan is eating more fruits and enjoying himself.
Stan: „Oh, thanks, Xev."
Xev: „I'll miss you, Stan."
Stan is not really reacting, so Xev is turning around and wants to walk away.
Stan: „Xev, maybe you will find a place nearby, we will be neighbors, come to visit me from time to time?"
Xev: „Yeah, maybe."
Stan: „Whoever how would have thought, when we met, way back there on the cluster, things to work out somewhere else. After all the crazy things we've been through."
Xev is almost crying.
Stan: „I just want to say thanks, Xev. I guess, this is a Goodbye."
Lyekka: „I don't like Goodbyes, Stan."
Xev: „Sometimes you have to say Goodbye. But it is late today, so, maybe I'll take the first thing in the morning."
Finally Stan is getting up and approaching Xev, who is crying now.
Stan: „Friends?"
Xev: „Friends."
Then they hug each other.

Xev is sleeping for the very last night on this city of Garden. Well, she's not exactly sleeping, but she tries to.
Stan is lying next to Lyekka and stroking her face.
Stan: „You really do like me, don't you, Lyekka? I mean, as a person, - not as something to eat."
Lyekka: „I like you."
Stan: „Yeah, you...OK, I am ready, - make me happy."
Stan is lying back and expecting something from her. But she is sensing / smelling something and is very hungry again.
Stan: „What?"
Lyekka: „I'm hungry."
Stan: „Oh, well, yeah..."
Lyekka: „I'll be right back, Stan."
Stan: „Ready, steady,... hey, Lyekka, don't be long. We've got company."
He looks on his croak.

But Lyekka has found her new prey.
Lyekka: „Delicious."
All three gardeners are waiting for her, bowing on her and offering their hands so that she can eat them.
Lyekka: „Mh, ah..."
That was a great meal for her. But right then an enemy is approaching, balloons are descending from all sides, dozens of them.
Kai is singing his BG-song, while waiting for his proto blood to fail. He is ready to go the 'way of no return'. Because Xev and Stan found their 'paradise' - and now Kai's task is done!
Just in that second the first warriors leave the balloons and enter the city from above.
This could have been the end, everybody was ready to leave or to stay forever, final. But the peace now is again disturbed, there is no peace for our three heroes.

3.10 - Battle

The two planets are moving around each other. 
And Kai is still singing his song while the balloons are approaching the Garden city.
It is night. Kai is definitely ready to end his existence. By the way, Kai's face is covered by dust and pretty dirty.
Stan is sleeping the sleep of the just, then he wakes up by a noise. He is not sure if he really heard something
Stan: „Lyekka?"
Stan is getting up and searching for her. He gets to the parked moth at the edge of the Garden city. But still, there is no Lyekka.
Stan: „Kai?"
He hears him singing and follows the song. Just the second Stan is leaving the moth parking place the intruders are entering the place. Stan gets to the coffin of Kai.
Stan: „Kai, Kai, I can't find Lyekka anywhere. And I think, we are being attacked."
Kai: „By whom?"
Stan: „I don't know, does that matter? Look, Kai, I hate to break the news to you, but you are not a plant, - you are a Brunnen-G warrior and then you became an assassin for the divine Order, you are not meant to rot in a garden. So get up out of there and kill!"
Actually, Kai's face is moving in a strange way, he is not to appreciating, what Stan is saying. Especially the kill-parts.
Stan: „Oh."
After all this long speech Stan takes some action and moves Kai up in a sitting position. Kai is not exactly helping him but also not too resisted. He is not moved at all, so he needs Stan's motivation. And Stan's motivation is, that Kai is protecting him and Xev against the intruders.
Meanwhile the intruders get to the sleeping Xev in her sleeping chamber right in the middle of Garden, and they get her, shut her mouth by violence.
One of the intruders from Fire gets to the moth but before he can do any damage, Kai gets him from behind. Now his body and face is clean again, no trace of any dirt - how can that be? Fast self-cleaning of the fabrics? It was mentioned in season 4 'Halley's Comet'.
Kai: „May I help you?"
Some people still in the balloons are detecting Kai and attaching him with arrows, but only manage to kill the own man. Kai instead is throwing away the arrows that hit him in the chest, of course, they don't stop him. And he moves, very fast and forceful (it looks somehow motivated), first to a little gong that is supposed to warn all the inhabitants of the Garden city of this attack. After hitting the gong, there's nobody approaching or hurrying to defend this city, though Kai is waiting for that to happen. But there's no gardener left.
Xev is fighting for her life but is overwhelmed by the force of the many intruders, who try to bind and bond her feet and put her in a sack. Even over her head. She cannot scream.
Stan is running to the place where the gong is hanging. And where Kai is still waiting for a response of the inhabitants.
Stan: „What's happening?"
Kai: „We are being attacked."
Stan: „I know, but by who?"
Kai: „Balloons."
Stan: „From Fire?"
Kai: „Likely."
Lyekka is approaching the two in a hurry.
Stan: „Lyekka."
Lyekka: „Stan."
She hugs Stan, but only then he sees all the arrows sticking from her back. She's hit many times. She is dying in his arms.
Stan: „Oh, no."
Lyekka: „I just wanted to make you happy, Stan."
Stan: „Yes, you do. Lyekka, are you OK?"
Lyekka: „I didn't see them coming. - Stan?"
Stan: „Yes."
Lyekka: „I have to say 'goodbye' now."
Stan: „No, no, no, no... we can take you back to the Lexx, we can fix you up."
Lyekka: „You make me happy. I'll always be in your heart."
Stan is starting to cry.
Lyekka: „If you cry, you loose the memory of our love."
And then they are kissing each other for the very first time in a very real way. And Lyekka dies. Kai is checking her pulse at her neck. I wonder, if a plant in the shape of a human being really has a pulse.
Stan: „Oh, no."
Kai: „She is dead."
Stan: „No."
Kai: „Yes, and, Stanley, you are in danger. - I can protect you, but I cannot protect you and the moth and Xev at the same time, - unless you stay together."
Stan: „He yeah, I guess, you are right."
Stan lets Lyekka sink to the ground.
Stan: „Where is Xev? - Xev!"
Kai is observing the surrounding area, somebody is watching. And right in that moment the intruders are entering the moth and trying to steal it.
Stan: „They got the moth."
The moth is taking off and Stan and Kai reach Xev's sleeping place, nobody's there.
Stan: „Xev?"
Kai approaches the landing place of the moth, and aims on the flying insects with his brace.
Stan: „Can you reach it?"
Kai: „Yes. I can."
Stan: „Kai?"
Kai: „Yes?"
Stan: „I come with you."
Kai: „Hang on."
And Stan embraces Kai, who gives him a lift. The brace hits the moth and Stan appears on one of the windows. The pilot tries to get rid of him by an arrow bow, but from the other side Kai is entering the moth and throwing the pilot out of the moth. The man on the way down to the ground screams loudly.
Kai is taking the right side and Stan the left side of the front seats of the moth. There is a human shaped sack in the trunk of the moth, it looks like they have rescued Xev?
Stan: „Xev? Kai, you fly, I help Xev. Xev, is that you?"
Stan is touching the breasts of the human shape through the sack.
Stan: „It is Xev. Xev? Xev. You'll be OK!"
Then he opens the sack and tries to free Xev, while Kai is directing the moth in the direction of one of the balloons in front of them.
There is no Xev inside the sack but a metal chest.
Stan: „I don't get it."
The metal breasts are moving, looks dangerous. A stick sticks out. It starts to take fire.
Kai: „Let's go."
Stan: „Where?"
Kai: „Out."
Kai is acting very fast and throws Stan out of the moth and jumps just behind him. Grapping him closely. Stan is screaming on the way down.

And Prince is watching them from one of the balloons by his binocular-glasses.
He is watching the moth flying without a straight direction and without control and after a while it explodes.
Prince: "The moth, - it does go BOOM." 
He says to one of his guys on his side and he gives the binocular back to him.

Free falling: Kai looks up, aims and catches one of the balloon gondolas with his brace and is entering it, throwing the enemy men overboard.

Prince in the meanwhile goes to the caught and bond Xev, still bond and still with her in a sack covered face. Prince frees her of the sack, so that she can take a look around.
Prince: „Look, a moth, it does descend. Kai and Stanley assumed, that you would be in the moth, exactly as I anticipated."
She sees the debris of the former moth.
Priest: „It was an excellent plan."
Prince: „Clever"
Priest: „Brave"
Prince: „Insightful"
Priest: „Genius"
Xev: „Stupid."
Prince's talking to a guy that looks pretty much like President Priest of the fourth season with a beart.
Prince: „Stupid? Do you doubt me, Xev?"
Xev: „Kai can't be killed, he is already dead."
Prince: „But Stanley can and Kai does not float, correct?"
(How does he know? there was no such mentioning in his presents yet, this is just a hint, that there is a different order of episodes released than originally planned!)
Xev looks pretty angry.
Priest: „My Prince thinks of everything."
Prince: „So we have you and Stanley and your dead man right out of the picture. Isn't that excellent?"
Priest: „Wonderful."
Prince: „Satisfying."
Priest: „Exciting."
Prince: „Inevitable."
Xev: „Evil."
Prince: „I don't disagree with that."
He walks around Xev. And Priest and Prince are taking her in the center.
Priest: „That's all we do."
Prince: „But bad."
Priest: „That is our job."
Prince: „Our lives."
Priest: „Our commitment."
Prince: „As the opposite of good."
Priest: „Anything but..."
Prince: „That's what Fire is all about, it is the repositary of all that is not good."
Priest: „Precisely."
Xev: „Don't you have a mind of your own?"
Priest: „Uh, no."
Prince: „Am I beautiful?"
Priest: „The most."
Prince: „Witted"
Priest „The sharpest."
Prince: „You love me?"
Priest: „Completely."
Prince: „Die for me!"
Priest: „In an instant."
Xev: „Any of you are going to be sick!"
Prince: „Priest lives on Fire and I am his ruler. And he knows, at least until his demands begin, what would mean an immediate return to incredible pain and suffering. And as you know, I'm very good with pain."
He is stroking Xev's bonded arm pit and even kissing it.
Prince: „However, as he is my Priest, he does not suffer much, for now at least."
Priest is getting the binocular-glass again.
Priest: „My Prince, we have a problem."
Prince is taking the binocular and looking up to another balloon, where Stan and Kai are inside the gondola.

Kai and Stan are directing the gondola. Stan is looking down to the other balloons. The enemy.
Stan: „The sky is full of balloons, they are everywhere. - They are all around us."
Kai: „And one of them likely contains Xev."
Kai shouts: „Xev, can you hear us?"
Xev from one of the lower gondolas: „Kai!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
But then her mouth is shut up again by force by Priest.
Stan: „That was Xev, did you hear that?"
But he is not able to see her!
Stan: „We can hear you, Xev, where are you?"

Xev tries to scream, but is forced by Priest, not to. She struggles, but of no use.
Prince: „Now the game will become more interesting."
Priest: „A chase."
Prince: „A test."
Priest: „Contest."
Prince: „The battle."
Priest: „We defeat."
Prince: „We defeat?"
Priest: „For them, actual for us."
Prince: „Precisely. - You see, Xev…"
He sits down in opposite of her.
Priest (echoing): „…flying a balloon…"
Prince: „Flying a balloon is not science, it is not a lock. There is a lot of luck involved. Sometimes you get an updraft."
Priest: „Sometimes you don't."
Prince: „You never know, but if you have a lot of balloons… "
Priest: „…as we do…"
Prince: „Than you more likely get a favorable wind, as if you have only one. It is a simple matter of mathematics. In order to destroy their balloon, our balloons must rise higher."
Priest nods: „Or at least one of them must."
Priest looks at Prince with the gaze of a victim.
Prince: „What?"
Priest: „To rise above all the others…"
Prince: „For rise we have to shed weight."
Priest: „Her?"
Prince: „No."
Priest is throwing one on the other men just passing by over the edge.
Prince is grinning, getting up and gazing at his last man on the gondola. The guy is pretty smart and prefers to jump himself instead of getting thrown.
Prince: „Thank you. - (and to Xev) - We need you more, then we need them. You could be useful."
The sun is finally rising.

Stan: „We got to make it to another one of those cities."
Kai: „Don't you wanna rescue Xev?"
Stan: „Well, yeah, Kai, but we wanna get some help first."
Kai: „I have observed, that the residents of the very cities on Water suffer from, or perhaps benefit from a certain complacency in relation of potential danger they face."
Stan: „Yeah."
Kai: „They seem to live for the minute. They seem to live in a kind of continuum and will likely show no interest in our problem."
Stan: „OK, so what are you suggesting?"
Kai: „Engaging the other balloons in battle to save Xev now, - on our own."
Stan: „What? How? Look, they are all on us, how can we attack them all?"
Kai: „We don't have to attack them, they seem to be organizing themselves to attack us."
Stan: „Oh, come on, there is no way. They are gonna beat us."
Kai: „Likely you are correct."
Stan: „OK. If I am correct, what are we gonna do?"
Kai: „Whatever we can."
Stan: „You know, Kai, that is easy for you to say, because you are an assassin."
Kai seems to be touched, but in a negative way.
Stan: „I am a security guard class 4 - formally a system deputy backup courier, you know, to win battles is not part of my nature."
Kai: „You are captain of the Lexx, the mightiest weapon in the two universes, what is left of them. - And have been so for the last 4000 years."
Stan seems to be thinking about that. He is moved.

All the other gondolas are throwing their useless ballasts also down, means men. Stan and Kai are watching them fall down and screaming. Stan starts pumping the paddles.
Kai: „They seek advantage by rising above us. So they are shedding weight to gain altitude."
Stan: „I am pumping this thing as hard as I can."
The other gondola guys are pumping with several different men and a few of them are approaching Kai and Stan's balloon now, fetching their arrows and start attack them by a sign of Prince.
Stan ducks. Kai is just watching the arrows flying around, making sure, that Stan is not hit but get hit himself. He sighs quiet. Then he pulls the shaft out of his chest.
Stan: „Did they hit us?"
Kai: „Not where it matters. They don't try to get to the gondola, their strategy is to puncture our balloon and make us descend."
Kai makes his brace ready to fire back, while Stan starts pumping again, but the enemy keeps out of range. 

Prince is watching everything with his binocular.
Prince: „Make sure, they all stay out of range of his weapon."
Priest: „Excellent plan."
Prince is offering Xev a little bit of his water from his bottle. 
Prince: „Would you care for a drink?"
She seems to be attracted and is very thirsty, but refuses though.
Prince: „Very well, - I won't bother to offer you again."
He gets around her and stops walking at her back. He drinks of his own water.

All the enemies' balloons are rising fast around Kai and Stan's gondola. It looks bad for them.
Stan: „They are rising above us."
Kai: „Correct."
Stan: „What can we do?"
Kai: „We can wait."
Stan: „Wait for what?"
Kai: „For them to make a mistake."
Stan: „For them to...that is our entire plan?"
Kai: „Yes."
(That is the model for the 4. season episode: the Game.)
Stan: „What if they don't make a mistake?"
Kai: „Then they will succeed and we will fail."
Stan: „Oh, what does that mean?"
Kai: „That means, that you will die. - And I will sink to the center of this planet."
Stan realizes this situation he's in, and he gets very angry and starts pumping even faster and even more desperate. 
Stan: „Why do I all the pumping and you do all the standing around?"
The enemy is starting to fire arrows again and Kai, on the watch, catches one just milli-seconds before it hits Stan fatally.
Kai: „I will pump, if you request. But then I will not be able to stop darts"
Stan: „That is OK, I like pumping. Did they hit the balloon?"
Kai is watching for holes in the balloons skin.
Kai: „Not yet, close."
One arrow is very close to Stan hitting the gondola.

Priest is pumping on Prince's gondola while his Prince is still talking into Xev.
Prince: „You seem so far away from me now. And we used to be so close."
Xev: „We were never close."
Prince: „I remember your kisses well. They were warm and close."
Prince is stroking her waistline. Gripping her breasts.
Xev: „It was wrong - and you took advantage of me. There was nothing real."
Prince: „Oh, I see hate in your eyes. You should be one of mine, you should be with me. If you can hate me, you should be able to hate others. It is the small step for you to take. - Take it, Xev. Be mine."
And he kisses her on her neck and cheek.
Xev: „No."
Prince: „No?"
Xev: „Why do you to this?"
He walks a few steps away from Xev and turning his back on her.
Prince: „I tempt those, who can be tempted. And I punish those, who deserve to be punished. That is my function, my occupation, my job, my joy. What is wrong with that? And I also punish some, who have done nothing wrong. Who slipped to the cracks. - No system is perfect."
He kisses Xev's arm again.
Prince: „You may not understand, why I do, what I do, but even less do I understand, why you make the choices, that you do... ah, I can see into you, Xev. I can see things inside you. - That even you do not consciously remember. - You have every reason to hate."
He connects to her head and forehead and there comes a vision:

Her female teacher on the TV screen in her baby box, where she was raised:
Teacher: „Good baby, good baby."
Mechanical arms are stroking her as a baby.
Teacher: „Good baby, good baby. Zev of B3K."
The mechanical arms are giving her some toys and something to eat.
Teacher: „Good food, good food. Good food, baby. Zev of B3K."

Prince: „Do you remember that?"
He let's her head go. 
Prince: „- Your childhood, Xev of B3K."
Xev: „No."
Prince: „But you were raised in a box."
Xev: „I was raised in the wife bank of B3K, yes. I really don't remember much of that."
Prince: „There's not much about it to remember."
He is stroking her hair.

The enemy is finally rising above Kai and Stan's balloon. And another attack of arrows is successful and punching their balloon's skin.
Stan: „We have been hit."
They are both watching the hole.
Stan: „We are losing altitude."
Stan tries to pump even harder.

Priest with the binocular: „We have punctured their balloon. They are going down. Soon they will be in the water and we can shoot at them at will."
Prince: „We do not want that."
Priest: „So, what do we do?"
Prince: „We wait."
He gets back to her and touches her face and her head firmly, she is resisting, but of course, bond as she is, she can do nothing to stop him gripping her head again. 
Zev in the box, now she's a fat teenager still with some baby outfits in pink. There is a big divine shadow sign over her belly.
Zev: „Good morning, major."
The TV teacher again: „Good morning, Zev of B3K. Lesson 736. Your husband asks: do you think I am fat? What is the correct answer? 1.) 'No.' 2.) 'It is not what you look on the outside but the man on the inside that matters to me.' 3.) 'I like a man with a lot of meat on his bones. Can we get naked now and ride the tower of power?'"
Zev: „It is not what you look on the outside but the man on the inside that matters to me?"
Teacher: „Wrong! The correct answer is: I like a man with a lot of meat on his bones. Can we get naked and ride the tower of power. Zev of B3K, always flatter your man. Never admit his feelings and use any occasion to please him in bed! Zev of B3K, at this rate you will not graduate from the wife bank for 5.9 years."
Zev: „I will try to do better in the future, major."

Now Xev is crying silent tears.
Prince: „Do you remember that?"
Xev: „It's always hard to remember exactly. But also hard to forget."
Prince: „So much pain. So?"
Xev: „No."
Prince seems to be a little bit disappointed, but Xev is certain.
He returns to his man Priest, who kept watching the enemy's balloon.
Priest: „We should fire everything at them now."
Prince: „Firing everything on them will have no effect on the dead man. It is now time to change our strategy."
Priest: „The right thing to do."
Prince: „You should have come over to me, Xev."
Xev: „Never."
Prince: „I once gave you the chance to let Stanley Tweedle destroy this planet. But you refused my chance because you were a good person. Which means you are my enemy, which means you have to die. - (to Priest) -Throw her over the side."
Priest is letting Xev down from her fixed position, bonds her with the rope, so that she can not even move with her feet a little bit. She knows what is waiting for her: she is expecting her death.
Priest is taking her to the edge of the gondola, bond like a Rollmops. Ready to throw her over.
Prince: „But... we will attach a piece of string to her to improve our negotiating position."

Stan is still pumping like hell, but then there comes a long scream from Xev: she was thrown over the edge of the gondola, but fixed with a long rope, so that she falls not very far down. A little bungee jump actually.
Stan: „What was that?"
They are both looking up
Kai: „Xev."
Prince shouts down to Stan and Kai: „The time has come for you to make a deal."
Stan: „He wants to make a deal, what now?"
Kai: „We wait for him to make a mistake."
Stan: „Well, he hasn't been making too many so far, see Kai, why don't you do the assassination thing with your brace and get this over with."
Kai: „I would if my brace would be full functioning, but it is not."
That is news, and another hint that this episode is supposed to be one in a wrong order and should be before the K-Town EP!
Stan: „What, what, what's the deal?"
Prince: „The dead man will jump over the side and sink into the sea."
Xev is crying desperately.
Prince: „Unless he does that in the next ten seconds, Priest will cut the cord of Xev and SHE will sink into the sea.... 10."
Xev: „No!"
Prince: „9, 8..."
Kai is thinking about a solution, he looks very serious.
Prince: „7, 6..."
Xev: „No, don't do it, Kai!"
Kai moves to the edge.
Prince: „5,4..."
Xev: „Don't, Kai!"
Stan: „No! Kai, don't do it! - You are her only hope!"
Prince: „3, 2..."
But Kai is already standing on the edge and ready to jump. Without any emotions. Kai takes the last look up to Prince and Xev.
Prince: „Look, he is climbing over the side for you! Isn't that sweet?"
Kai is getting ready. He is putting his arms up.
Stan: „Wait!"
Xev: „No, Kai!"
Stan: „No, Kai!"
But Kai jumps. Right at that second Priest is cutting the cord of Xev. Right when Kai is firing his brace and catching Stan's gondola again. And she is falling down to the far away surface of the ocean just like Kai. She's screaming.
But she survives hitting the surface, barely, and tries to stay up ... paddling hard.

Prince: „Why did you do that?"
Priest excuses: „The ten seconds were up. So I cut the cord like you said."
Prince: „I did not tell you to cut it."
Priest: „I am deeply sorry, my Prince, it will not happen again. But I do not know what I did wrong."
Prince: „You made a mistake. - Look."

Kai fired his brace just in time to catch the gondola again and now he is hanging on his brace there.
Stan: „Kai!"
Kai: „Bring me down to Xev."
Stan does as told and the gondola is descending. Xev is barely staying above. And then Kai approaches on his cord and catches her with his arm.

Prince is not amused.
Prince: „There is a faint possibility that your stupidity will lead to my opportunity. We certainly have the advantage of height now."

Kai moves the bonded Xev inside the gondola. Seems to be big a effort because Kai makes a funny noise pulling her over the edge. Mh, but he is suppose to be a STRONG assassin!
Xev: „Thanks."
Kai: „You are welcome."
Stan: „Are you OK, Xev?"
Stan puts her on her feet and Kai removes the ropes. But the enemy starts to fire arrows again and punctures the balloon even more.
Stan: „What if we just crash, down on the water?"
Kai: „In that case I would be fine. But you and Xev are very easy targets."
Kai goes to the front of the gondola and looks up and starts to think seriously. Stan starts to pump again.
Stan: „Kai, Kai, I hate to interrupt your meditation. But things are not looking very good for us here."
Kai: „Release the stages."
Stan: „Release the stages."
Kai: „Yes, we have to release the stage. And dispend the gondola from the balloon, now!"

Prince with the binocular: „Fire everything, we must kill them now before they get any higher."
Priest: „How can they get any higher? - (to their men) - Fire everything. We have to kill them NOW!!"
Prince is seriously worrying, that shows on his face.

Kai in the meanwhile gathers Xev and Stan at the wooden platform where the balloons join the gondola. Then Kai cuts the connection to the gondola and only the platform with his three people on rises, very fast above Prince's guys.
Stan: „Good move, Kai."
Kai: „Look."
The Lexx is right in the middle of the two planets now and it seems, that their balloon is rising right in its direction.
Prince watches Kai pointing up and he follows their gazes and also sees the Lexx.
Priest: „Shall I release our own stage?"
Prince: „Yes!"

Stan: „The balloons are losing air. How can we make it to the Lexx?"
Kai: „We have to be very lucky."
Xev: „We are already slowing down."
Kai: „And soon we start to drop. Rapidly. -  We must shed weight."
Xev: „What weight?"
Kai is looking at Stan, does he think about dropping Stan?
Stan: „Oh no. No."
Xev: „Look!"
Priest is copying the action of Kai and Stan and tries to remove the gondola from the stage of their own balloon.
Prince: „Are you ready?"
Priest: „Nearly."
Priest is still fumbling on the few connecting cables left.
Prince: „Hurry, I am losing time. - What are you doing?"
Priest tries to climb up to the platform.
Priest: „I have to release the main stage from up here. Where else? Or we are going down with the gondola."
Priest tries to climb to the platform, but Prince has other plans.
Prince: „You are going down with the gondola."
Priest: „I'm sorry, I am not clear."
Prince: „I have no further use for you. You are dead weight. Now please fall to death with the gondola and don't waste any more time about it. Is that now clear enough for you?"
Priest: „Very clear, you are my Prince."
Prince: „You always take reward in my opportunity. Their balloon is losing air, ours is not. It will be easy to rise above them and pick them off. 
Priest: „You are my Prince."
Prince: „Now get on with it!"
Priest (shouts): „I will get on with it."
Priest is climbing up while Prince looks up to his enemies and Priest hits Prince with his knife and injures him fatally. Prince falls down to the gondola and Priest stays on the platform.
Prince: „You, you fool, what do you think you will gain?"
Priest: „What else would you expect? Now I will rise to the top."
Prince is laughing. What an illusion!
Prince: „No."
Priest: „And I will rule this planet."
Prince: „You will suffer."
Priest cuts the very last junction of the gondola and his platform rises, when Prince is falling down with the gondola. But Prince still has an arrow bow. And he aims on Priest who is laughing out loud. Almost hysterical. But Prince shoots Priest to death. And Prince is happyily grinning as well, while dying.
Their platform is rising on its own, straight in that direction of the platform of our three heroes.
Stan: „We're not gonna making it our way."
Kai: „No, our balloon is losing too much air."
Stan: „What, what now?"
Xev: „Look there."
The other platform is approaching them.
Stan: „Oh no no no no. You are not actually suggesting that I like going throw myself down there and, when I'm incredible lucky, I will be landing on Prince's balloon, are you?"
Kai: „No."
Stan: „No, that is good, because I wouldn't die, after I missed the balloon, because my heart has stopped long before that."
Xev: „We have to jump, Stan." 
Stan: „No, Xev, I am informing you right now, that I am in no way could for a jump like that, you know, my fingers won't respond to the instruction of my brain to let go."
Xev is watching Kai instead of listening to Stan's rambling.
Stan: „My brain would not even produce an instruction like that."
Kai: „I will jump. And then I will bring you over."
Stan: „How?"
Kai shows his brace arm without any further words.
Stan: „No no no no, your brace is not working right, remember?"
Kai is touched.
Kai: „Hopefully you will be still close enough. I think, I must pick up Stan first. - and then I will grab you."
Xev nods.
Then Kai jumps. He tries to direct this fall by waving his arms and legs. He falls on one of the full balloons and is able to stop falling down the satin, and he slowly descends to the platform. Success. He looks up to the other platform. And aiming with his brace arm while passing the two of them. Kai shoots his brace and gets a grip on Stanley.
Stan: „Oh, I am not ready for this, Xev. You go."
Xev: „Captains first"
Stan starts his long, long way to Kai's platform. He is screaming like hell.
He is caught by Kai while arriving.
Stan: „My heart is still working. I don't believe it."
But Xev's balloons get hit again and she looses altitude very fast now!
Stan: „Xev's balloon is out of control. Fire your brace now! Fire now!"
Xev's balloon is torkling like hell. She descends very fast!
Kai: „She is out of range."
Stan: „We have to go down and get her."
Kai: „We will, but in a moth."
They are approaching the Lexx now, only a few miles away.
Stan: „A moth? We don't have time! The other balloons will get to her first!"
Kai: „We are now in the divide between the altitude of the two planets, - Xev will land on Fire. We will reach her in a moth before the other balloons."
Kai is firing his brace and getting connected with Lexx.

Xev fights the turbulences between the two planets. But she is strong so she holds tight on the ropes. After that she is descend to the surface of Fire.

790 is driving his circles around the bridge.
790: „All night by the Kai, Kai, all night by his corpse I did mourn, I dreamed he was tweaking my circuits while I was tasting his bone."

While Xev is descending even faster, this will be a hard landing, Stan and Kai reach the moth chamber and enter a just ready built moth. They are surrounded by active moth breeders, who do not take any notice of their appearance. 
Stan: „Don't those moth breeders ever stop?"
Kai: „No."
They take off.

790 still alone on the bridge, mourning to himself.
790: „All night without Kai, Kai, I am lonely, I am blue and I am sick, I dream of his frozen kisses and fumbling his frozen..."
Than 790 hears the moth starts taking off.
790: „Kai, you'll come back to me, come here, you dark and delicious one... Kai?"
790 moves his board closer to the edge of the bridge but he's falling into the pit in the middle of the bridge blossom instead. He looses his board.
790: „Kai. I'm here. Come back. Come back!...Oh no....you'll come back, you'll need me. You're just in an awful big hurry. It's OK. No, really, it is OK!"
He starts crying: „It is not OK! It is not OK! I love you, Kai."

In the meanwhile the moth is flying through the air lock out into space, trying to follow Xev's balloon which is a very close to the surface now. But Xev is not alone. There is a left behind moth breeder in the desert and it is somehow walking in the same direction as her balloon flies. Before she hits the ground, she decides to jump on her own. The balloon flies a little bit further down the desert, and Xev watches it, but then the moth breeder gets to her. It is almost spent by the heat. And it faults down, exhausted and dying.
Xev kneels beside it.
Xev: „What are you doing here?"
Breeder: „I must build more moths."
Xev: „Are you one of the moth breeders, who were taken to Duketown?"
Breeder: „I must build more moths."
She takes his head, soft and carefully.
Xev: „I know, this probably doesn't mean anything to you, but like me you were a prisoner on the cluster. ...And they turn you into what you are now. But you were once a real person. A real person that lived a real life."
She strokes his cheeks. - All that she is saying here, is also affecting Kai's situation.
Xev: „Can you understand that? Even a little? - You were a real person!"
Breeder: „Must build more moths!"
The moth breeders is breathing very hard now, and then he dies in Xev's arm.
Xev: „Poor you."
After taking a long glance around her, nothing besides heat and sand and dunes.
Xev: „Poor me."
She gets up and starts to walk, but there is no city close to her. Dunes after dunes. A fantastic landscape. Wind is playing with the yellow sand. Then suddenly at the foot of a one very large dune there comes a familiar creature towards Xev. All dressed in black.
Xev: „You again."
Prince: „Me again."
Xev: „How did you get here?"
Prince: „I died."
Xev: „You don't look dead."
Prince: „I am not. I died, but now I have been reawakened here."
Xev: „Why?"
Prince: „I want to be with you, when you die. I have never seen anyone die for the first time." - Mh, als 'der Tod' müßte er das aber schon öfter mal gesehen haben!
Xev: „What makes you think that I am going to die?"
Prince: „You are on the surface of the planet Fire, the sun is up. You can't last the hour."
Xev: „And you?"
Prince: „Oh, I also will die."
Xev: „How sad."
Prince: „Not for me. I'm used to it. But it will not be so used for you. Also your friends will miss you."
She approaches him.
Xev: „Do you know what a cluster lizard is?"
Prince: „Not really."
Xev: „A cluster lizard is a very nasty animal. But I think he originally came from a very hot place."
Prince: „How does that matter?"
Xev: „You will see."
Prince: „When?"
And Xev passes Prince and lets him behind her. But he is following her of course.
Xev: „In less than an hour."
Prince is confused.

In the meanwhile the moth is searching for Xev.
Stan: „We'll never find her."
Kai: „Then we search for the balloon."
But they can't see and find anything.

Prince is out of breath now climbing up a dune, but Xev is pretty fine and a long way ahead of Prince. Prince gives up.
Prince: „How are you going?"
She looks behind her, - down to Prince.
Xev: „Fine.Thank you."
Prince: „I'm not. I am hot. I have to stop. Why aren't you dying?"
Xev: „I'm very good with heat."
Prince: „Ironically I am not. - How is it, that you are not dying?"
Xev: „I am not all human." - BUT he knows that already from the episodes: "May" and "Gondola"!
She returns to him and sits beside him down on the sand.
Xev: „Can you still find, whatever memory you want? With your hand? Like you did before?"
She's playing with his hand and licks his finger.
Prince: „Yes."
Xev: „Think 'cluster lizard'."
And she puts his hand on her head.
And she shows him the ugly mouth of a hungry cluster lizard. Prince is shocked. At least for a second. Then he is laughing.
Xev is retreating from him. And getting up, ready to leave.
Prince: „Then I guess, you get to see me die. - Do you still feel anything for me?"
Xev: „A little."
Prince: „You shouldn't."
Xev: „I agree. - Well, I didn't admit it before, but I am hot, too. Really hot."
And she leaves Prince behind, who is just fading in front of her. She continues her whole walk.

The moth is still searching. Stan and Kai watching the desert.
Stan: „Look, look, do you see it?"
Stan points to the lonely balloon, that is still moving over the sand.
Kai: „Yes."
Stan: „She is not in it."
Kai: „She may be somewhere up wind."
Stan: „We hope."
Kai: „The dead do not hope."
Stan: „Yeah, well, Kai, the living certainly do."
Kai is moved somehow, he might not feel anything, but he is somehow uncomfortable. The moth is passing the abandoned balloon.

And Xev still walks over endless dunes, into the direction where the other planet Water hangs on the sky. It is beautiful!

3.11 - Girltown

Xev is still walking through the desert, all on her own.
At this episode there is also the brother of Lex Gigeroff playing a part again as the gay Doiley.
Kai and Stanley are still searching for Xev by the moth. They just pass the dead moth breeder corpse in the sand.

On the Lexx 790 is still circling the bridge, circles it and sings loudly.
790: „79 kisses from Kai on the head, 79 kisses from Kai. One more kiss from the man who is dead, that's 80 kisses from Kai on the head. 80 hot kisses from Kai on the head, 80 hot kisses from Kai. One more kiss from the man who is dead. That's 81 kisses from Kai on the head."

The moth is still searching. No success. Both Stan and Kai are really doing their best.

Xev is getting tired. It is not looking good for her. Sunset is close. She is torkling on the side of a dune. Not much later she is crossing a salt sea.

Stan: „You know, these really are two strange planets."
Kai looks at him.
Stan: „I mean, you know, recognize people that we knew thousands of years ago. Like Bunny and Fify, you know, others ... you know, I mean, they died! They seem here, and they are alive ... were alive."
Well, I think that means, that Stanley recognized Laleen as 'Bunny'.
Kai: „Perhaps they just look the same."
Stan: „But exactly the same? With exactly the same personalities? Do you think, we are in some kind of afterlife?"
Kai: „What do you mean, Stanley?"
Stan: „I mean a place where you go, when you die. I mean, how do we know, that we are not dead? Okay, you are dead for, you know, 6000 years. But I know, I am not dead!"
Kai: „You are alive, Stanley. From my prospective anyway."

Xev is getting to the foot of a town with a lot of balloon traffic on the top.

Inside a chamber is a lot of working activity. Many young man are sewing fabrics on sewing machines. They are bond by metal chains. So it seems this is some kind of a working camp or so.
And there is the brother of Lex G., he is also sewing but he also gestures with a neighbor behind him. They are exchanging air kisses in secret. And he gives his beloved one a very nice dress, bodice in red, handles it over.
But the female guard of the prisoners gets it, shortens the chains, and starts to punish the young man who got the dress.
Guard: „What is this?"
Young Man: „Nothing."
The female guards look very martial, with black leather and such, very male actually.
One of them gets the new dress, looks at it and then throws it away.
Guard: „Wow. Pretty, pretty."
The young beloved one gets his chains opened by the guards. They take him, but he tries to resist.
Guards: „Fire!"
Boy: „That is not mine. That is not mine."
Guard: „Stop crying."
They take him to some kind of lock, that gets to the outside, down very deep.
The young one: „I haven't done anything, please, don't! No. Please. No, no! Wait."
The prisoner sees the moth approaching.
Guard: „Sharp eyes, dead Parole."
Parole: „You are welcome."
His guards look down, interested, and the young man sees a chance to escape.
Guard: „Thanks, Parole."
Parole: „NO!"
It doesn't matter, they throw him through the hole. He falls down, he hits one of the metal structures underneath the city and leaves a big, bloody gore on the hitting point. After that his dead body falls even deeper. To the sand.
Lex's brother tries to cover his ears.
The guards are returning to the other prisoners, demonstrably stroking their whips.
Guard one: „Back to work, girls."
Guard two: „And remember: we make hard air balloons here, but not fancy dresses."

The moth is still searching for Xev.
Stan: „See, that you are dead and you won't care finding, you know, I mean, until we arrived. How could this be an afterlife?"
Kai: „Perhaps the part of me, that is alive. Is here somewhere."
Kai is slidely grinning.
Stan: „You mean, now?"
Kai: „Yes. Now."
Stan: „OK, I hope I get to meet him, or 'it'."

Xev enters the city she just arrived at. It looks pretty much like K-Town.

Stan: „Think, we ever gonna find her? I doubt anybody ever could have survived down there..."
Kai flies a sudden and sharp curve.
Stan: „What you do that for?"
Kai: „Look."
Kai saw footsteps on the sand leading to the next city. So he follows those steps. They land on the foot of the city and encounter several white bones in the sand.
Stan: „Those are definitely her footprints, am I right?"
Kai: „Yes, they appear to be hers. - You coming, Stanley?"
Stan: „Where?"
Kai: „Up there."
Stan: „Look, you are much better on that than me, so why don't you go up first and check it out. I stay down here, watch the moth, now keep an eye for Xev, in case she spots us down here."
Kai: „It's hotter down here, then it is up there."
Stan: „It's okay, I don't mind, really. It gets..., if I can't stand it down here, I will take the moth and go fly around for a while."
Kai makes his brace ready, and fires it, and lets it take him up to the top.
Stan is remaining on his own with the moth in the field of white bones, where he sees something sticking out of the sand of a dune nearby.
They are legs. From the pour young man, Parole, who just fall of the tower of the city. Stan is not certain, if he really should go there, but he does. Keeping watch to all his sides. Suspicious and careful.

Xev in the meanwhile is climbing up the stairs of the tower.
Stan gets to the legs in the sand. Poor, young fellow. There is nothing Stan can do. But without noticing a balloon is approaching him from behind. That looks like trouble.

Kai reached the first metal structures beneath the city.
Xev is climbing the stairs from the inside.
Stan is kicking the legs of the poor fellow in the sand. And touching them.
Stan: „You are OK, buddy? Yeah... I guess not."
He gets knocked down from behind.
Guy: „Welcome to Girltown."
They take him feet first. Their gondola flies to the top of the city tower.

Inside the city is a big buckle filled with cooking water. The guys are taking care of the fire never to stop cooking. Inside the buckle is a familiar creature, all in black with black and long hair and with some kind of thorns around her neck. She looks like she has something to say in this city.
Queen: „That is just warm enough."
Stan is stripped of his clothes and put into a cage, so that the Queen can take a look at him. His guards, also females, also looking martial and mean.
Queen is sticking her tongue toward him, licking her lips. She likes, what she sees. Stan is shocked in recognization.
Stan: „Giggerotta. You are alive!"
Queen is grinning.

Kai is climbing several metal thorns on the upper side of the city, while a lot of balloons are leaving the city. They are filling the sky around him.
Queen: „Who is Giggerotta?"
Stan: „You are Giggerotta, I mean, you once were Giggerotta, I don't know any more."
Queen: „We are Queen! Queen of Girltown. Are you a girl?"
Stan: „Me? Nononono."
Queen: „You look like a girl!"
A closer look on the bath tube shows its exterior of metal snakes and weird declaration, woven into each other.
Stan: „No, definitely not a girl. You are confused. I am definitely not a girl..."
Queen: „Mh. Let's have a closer look."
The guard is taking off Stan's pants. He's only wearing his underwear.
Queen: „Dreamy, dreamy drumsticks."
Queen seems to be very pleased. Actually, you only see her head sticking out of the bath. There is air getting out of the water, under pressure. Queen seems to be more relaxed and feels better now!
Stan (confused): „Drumsticks?"
Queen: „Your soft sweetness belongs to ...."
Stan: „Me? Stanley H. Tweedle, Captain of the Lexx."
Queen: „Captain of the who...?"
Stanley takes his dress on again. He feels much more comfortable now, you can see that. He points up to the sky.
Stan: „The Lexx. Remember the big bug, flies around in the sky? I said, I came here with Kai. The dead guy in black? Lets, we were looking for Xev. The woman, dressed in a cluster lizard outfit. And you know, I should really get back and looking for her, if you don't mind."
Queen is grinning cruel: „So, you are not from either Fire or Water?"
Stan: „Nononono. Like I said, from the Lexx, see, we were, the Lexx came from the Light Universe, we were all there until it got destroyed, and then we came here to the Dark Zone, the other universe."
Queen is very amused.
Queen: „That is so good, Queen was hoping to hear that!"
Another pressure release from her bath tube.
Stan: „Why?"
Queen: „Because all the bodies here are 'gone before'-bodies ... this doesn't help Queen. - You are the real first-timer, aren't you, Stanley, Captain? Say it, to Queen."
Stan: „Say what? I, I mean, I am not a first-timer, I am experienced."
Queen is getting impatient.
Queen: „Say it, to Queen, that you haven't died before!"
Stan: „What are you talking about? Of course I haven't died before, I am Stanley H. Tweedle. I am 100% alive!"
Queen is laughing out loud. She starts some kind of a sing sang.
Queen: „Pinky and rosy Stanley Captain. Captain Stanley, pinky and rosy."
Stan is very confused now.
Queen: „Queen is so happy."
Stan: „She is mad."
Queen: „Drumsticks. Drumsticks. Drumsticks. Drumsticks. Drumsticks."
She is licking her lips again, is she going to eat him?
Stan: „Definitely mad!"
There is a woman diving up from the bottom of the buckle with a tool, that repaired something at Queen's body sticking underneath the surface.
Woman: „Canceled tight, your Majesty?"
The woman has a very high tuned voice.
Queen: „Oh, boring, boring, boring ...(to Stan:)…don't you go anywhere."
She air kisses him and he feels not very comfortable.

Xev is almost at the top of the tower now. She is still climbing a few more steps. She hasn't encounter any inhabitants yet.

Kai is on his way also, you see almost the same scenery in his background as you saw in Xev's background through the windows from inside.

The woman with the high voice, Carol, is entering a room full with other women, which are wrapped in brown sacks. She's losing her papers, gathering them and then trying to gather the other women for some kind of council. Carol is entering a special box with some kind of microphone in front of her, she seems to be the president of this council. But she also seems to fear the other women, especially Wrenched, a blond, bold woman who is growling on her!
Carol gets all women to sit down on their reserved seats. There is a little hassling because one of the woman is occupying a seat that probably does not belong to her.
Queen in her chamber is fixing a microphone in front of her as well. Her face appears on a screen in the consul chamber above the gathered women. - Everybody is ready to counsel.
Queen: „Carol."
Carol: „Yes, her Majesty."
Queen: „Begin."
Carol: „Can I have a motion to adopt to the agenda?"
Wrenched: „Moved!"
Hama: „Seconder."
Carol: „Thank you. The first item on the agenda."
Wrenched gets up: „Point of order, your Majesty."
Queen: „You have the floor, Wretched."
Wrenched: „I would like to mend the agenda to talk about the giddle."
Socket: „Point of order!"
Queen: „Socket."
Socket: „Wrenched's point is a point of personal privilege ... not a point of order."
Queen: „Wrenched!"
Wrenched: „Your Majesty, I withdraw my point of order. But we still have to discuss the griddle."
An uproar of women.
Carol: „The point of order is withdrawaled."
Hama: „Point of privilege."
Queen: „Hama."
Hama: „Your Majesty, this person may look like a girl, but they do not dress, nor are they behave like girls. I think, it is quite obvious, they are not a boy. This person therefore must be a non-she."
Stan is getting impatient in his cage. Is this all about him?
Wrenched: „Point of personal privilege, your Majesty."
Queen: „Wrenched."
Wrenched: „Every boy of us in this room is aware of how dangerous the non-shes are. How do we know, that this non-she, that suddenly appeared in the desert, didn't come here to Girltown to destroy us? „
She's talking herself pretty in rage now.
Queen: „The point, the point, the point, the point..."
Queen is getting pretty bored by this paragraph-writers.
Wrenched: „How do we know, your Majesty, that this non-she is not Prince?"
Hama: „Point of personal privilege, your Majesty."
Queen: „Hama."
Hama: „Your Majesty. How do we know, that Duke is not behind the sudden appearance of the non-she. How do we know, that this is not yet another of Duke's plots to infringe among the attorney of every boy in Girltown."
This causes an uproar of all women: „Yes!"
That's a affront against Wrenched, which is still very upset.
Queen: „Stanley Capt., you said, you knew Queen. You called Queen 'Giggerotta' among you knew Queen, when she was alive."
Wrenched: „The non-she has lived before. And who but Prince can live and die and come back, looking like anyone else?"
Hama: „Duke can, you Majesty."
Wrenched: „Duke comes back after death but only as Duke."
She almost kisses Hama, because of her victory in arguments.
Hama: „True. But like Prince Duke is also a non-she. And he is remarkly capable of sending spies to sabotages."
Carol: „Is there a motion on the floor?"
Wrenched: „I would like to make a motion."
Queen: „Wrenched."
Wrenched: „Only the non-she Prince has the ability to change into other forms. And realize, the non-she appears at an orbiter. Who claims, it has known Queen in a past life? Be it to resolved. But this non-she is in fact Prince. And therefore must receive the highest punishment possible: death!"
A big tumult arises.
Stan: „What? Death?"
Queen: „Hama."
Hama: „I would like to amend the motion, your Majesty."
Carol: „Is the mover agreeable?"
Wrenched: „What is the proposed amendment?"
Wrenched lets Hama on the desk, reluctantly.
Hama: „Whereas, unlike boys, who work together in a spirit of harmonious corporation, all non-shes are constantly fighting each other in the spirit of violent and badest aggressiveness. And whereas Duke is continuously trying to desorb and undermine Prince, being further result, that the non-she is in fact an agent of Duke and therefore should receive the highest possible punishment: death."
Wrenched: „Point of order."
Queen: „Wrenched."
Wrenched: „That is not an amendment, you Majesty. It is a seconder motion. And we should vote an earlier motion first before considering another motion."
Carol: „Are you proposing to amend the amendment?"
Wrenched: „I'm proposing plain and simple that this non-she must die, because the non-she is Prince."
Queen: „Hama."
Hama: „Your Majesty, my amendment clearly states that the non-she must die, but not because the non-she is Prince. But because the non-she is Duke."
Wrenched: „That is not an amendment."
Socket: „Point of personal privilege."
Queen: „Socket."
Socket: „I would like to make an amendment."
Carol: „I really think we should deal with the First Amendment first."
Socket: „Whereas boys and non-shes have fundamentally separated agenda out at whereas this non-she is further resolved that this non-she must be following a non-boy agenda. And therefore she should receive the highest punishment possible: death!"
All women: „Yes, yes."
Stan: „No, no! I didn't do anything."
He can't believe what he is listening to here.
Socket: „Moved."
Hama: „Seconder."
Carol: „The amendment is on the floor."
Hama: „Point of order."
Queen: „Hama."
Hama: „I would like to withdraw my amendment, your Majesty. Socket's amendment is agreeable to the amender."
Wrenched: „Point of order."
Queen: „Wrenched."
Wrenched: „I would also like to withdraw my amendment, too, your Majesty."
Queen: „Do we have a motion?"
Carol: „We have an amendment to aid withdrawn motions on the floor, your Majesty."
Queen: „So can we go on there?"
Carol: „No, your Majesty, unless the second amender is agreeable to make the amendment to take the form of a motion, then we could have a new motion on the floor."
Socket: „So move."
Hama: „Seconder."
Queen: „In that case call the question!"
Carol: „All those in favor, that the non-she has been following a non-boy-agenda and therefore should receive the highest possible punishment: death, - signifying by saying 'I'..."
All women say at once: „I!"
Carol: „The motion is carried."
Queen: „Consoler, Queen has no intention of interfering with your sentence. But would like to introduce a further motion. Queen has to have his body!"
Carol: „All those in favor of her Majesty's motion."
All women: „I!"
Carol: „The motion is carried."
Queen is grinning. She's very satisfied.

On the Lexx.
790: „789 kisses from Kai on the head, so many kisses from Kai. One more kiss from the man who is dead, and 790 kisses for robot head 790, I can't go on, I can't, I can't, I can't..."
790 is crying desperately.

Kai finally reaches the structure beneath the top of the city.

In the Queen chamber Stan is going to be put in some kind of metal bodice, supposed to decapitate him.
Stan: „What is that for? - What are you doing?"
Queen is licking her lips... her women are preparing the metal thing.
Stan: „I said, I didn't do anything."
They are preparing the metal blades and show him how this mechanical stuff is supposed to work. They open his cage and put him into the hell machine.
Stan: „No, look, hey guys, listen, can't we just talk this over, I mean, don't, listen, lets have another meeting, OK?"
But they put the metal stuff around his head.
Queen is whistling and getting closer to the edge of her bath.
Queen: „The things Queen is going to do with that body. - You just give Queen the shivers."
Stan: „Yeah, well, I am glad, you know, because, because ... Queen gives Capt. Stanley shivers, too. So, why doesn't Queen let Capt. Stanley out of this thing..."
Queen is licking her lips. And Stan tries to seduce her by his charm.
Stan: „... And we can talk things over, together. And in a way that pleasures us both, ah? If Queen knows, what Capt. Stanley means?"
Queen: „All Queen wants, is your body....  From the nape of your neck right down to the tipy, tipy toes."
She is laughing.

Wrenched: „All I am seeing is, that prefix non-she may be prerogative to these boys who do not wish the negative prefix attached to the sex. Is so fundamental and typical violation of anatomy."
Socket: „Yes, but non-she, in the context of this motion, refers to those who are not boys. The negative prefix is attached to the non-she, not a boy at all."
Wrenched: „That is not the point. 'Non' is negative and is attached. Therefore attach the negative to the word 'she'. To which is attached."
Socket: „Guilty. But to agree to the earlier motion."
Socket: „Oh, threw that, Muffies."
Hama: „Point of order."
Carol: „Hama."
Hama: „Can we please table this discussion and return to the amendment to the original motion."
Carol gets impatient as well.
Carol: „If the mover and seconder agree?"
Socket: „Agreed."
Wrenched: „I, most ineffectively, do not agree. I prefer the not so ugly bug that entrenched this negative attachment to our collective identity to the manest."
Socket: „What do you propose to substitute to the term non-she."
Wrenched: „MAN!"
That causes an uproar of all the woman. 
Women: „She's used that ugly word!"

Stan: „OK, you can have me, OK, look, whatever gain you want. Guess you can say, I'm experienced, in all kind of things, kinky things even, kinky, in the top. Just name your game, I'll make you happy."
Queen: „Queen can never be happy."
Stan: „Oh, why?"
Queen: „Because life is difficult for Queen. Prince rules this planet, Duke wants to rule it. But did Queen ever get the chance? No, no, because Queen is stuck here in this  sass-pool. And all we do on Girltown is make balloons."
Stan: „Won't you get any fun for you?"
Queen: „And more meetings and balloons, and more meetings and commitments. And points of order... and more meetings and points of order, and balloons and... around and round and up and down and touch the ground..."
She is turning around her axis in her bath tube, Stan is getting nervous. She is pretty crazy.
Queen: „Around and round and up and down and touch the ground."
Stan: „So, what do you make these balloons for?"
Queen: „For ... anyone else. They, they make the balloons to attack the planet Water, and then each other. And Queen just stagnates. - Do you understand?
Stan: „No, not completely."
Queen: „There is no body for Queen."
She's starting to cry, and a few tears starts running from her eyes.
Queen: „Now do you understand?"
Stan: „I don't know, if I want to understand."
Queen: „Oh, Queen is desperate. Queen doesn't have much time."
Stan: „Well, then leave. Who is stopping you?"
Queen: „You! Queen desperately wants your body, Capt. Drumsticks."
Stan: „Hey, just call me Stanley."
Queen: „Drumsticks. Drumsticks. Drumsticks. Whatever Queen wants, Queen gets. And Capt. Stanley, Queen majesty wants you. - This is what you have to give me. That's how it works!"

At the top of the city tower, Xev is still climbing the last few steps. And Kai reaches just the same lock with his braces - lifting him up -, where the guards threw down the poor young man half an hour earlier.
Kai opens the lock and enters the room of the workers on the sewing machines. They are surprised when Kai crawls through the hole, difficult, he is breathing hard, feet first, arms up and holding the heavy metal door above him.
Brother of Lex Gigeroff: „Hello there. Who are you?"
Kai stops climbing down from the hole. One knee still knicked.
Kai: „I am Kai, Last of the Brunnen-G."
Doiley: „I am Doiley. Where do you come from?"
Kai: „From up there."
Doiley: „From Water?"
Kai: „I come from the Lexx, the big bug in the sky."
Kai closes the lock again.
Kai: „Which some believe to be a comet!"
Doiley is nodding and seems to understand (not really).

On the Lexx, 790 is rolling through one of the corners and still mourning Kai.
790: „I wish that I would not alive, I wish that I would be dead. Maybe then the man in black would take the head to bed."

In one corner of the sewing room a familiar face is waving a sign. It is the singer of.....
The prisoners are up to an uproar
Kai is walking through the rows of the prisoners.
Kai: „I am looking for a friend, her name is Xev."
Doiley: „Is she from here?"
Kai: „No, Xev is a beautiful love slave. She is dressed in the skin of a lizard."
Doiley: „Are you for real?"
He is taxing Kai from head to toes. Kai sinks his head slightly sideway, is he surprised?
Kai: „I am... for real."
Doiley: „I didn't know Xev."
Kai: „Well then, I'll let you get back to your sewing."
Doiley: „No, wait, Kai, please, you've got to help us. We are held here in this awful place against our will, forced us to the worst kind of slavery. They keep us girls down here in the heat."
Kai is thinking about this request. He's taking a closer look on the prisoners. Walking through the rows and watching there chains. The other prisoners are watching him with hope in her eyes, looking at him like an hero.
Doiley: „All those human beasts who live up there, beat us, torture us ... humiliate us, ..."
Kai looks at the chains around their hands.
Doiley: „Sometimes worse. Poor Parole. And all because of the way we are. We have done nothing wrong."
Kai: „Who does that to you?"
He hears female voices approaching from a corner.
Doiley: „THEM, help us, Kai, please...!"
Right at this moment the guards are coming. One is tighting the chains, so that each prisoner has to put their hands up. And the other one is facing Kai. Kai is getting very close to her, the faces are only a few centimeters away from each other.
Kai: „I am looking for a woman named Xev, she is not from here. - Have you seen her?"
She is pushing him a few meters away, but of course he is de- carbonized assassin and not so easy to push aside.
Guard 1: „Just, what do you think you are?"
Kai: „I am dead."
Guard 1: „That is right, sweety!"
And she hits him with her whip hard across the face.
Kai makes his braces ready and puts it on her throat. She's shocked.
Kai: „I suggest, that you reconsider your position."
Doiley: „Free us!"
Kai is firing his braces on the chains and cutting them all at once. The prisoners are very surprised.
Kai: „Now might be a good moment to take the element of surprise."
Doiley: „Let's get them out!"
At his words the prisoners start getting up and taking advantage of the situation. In a merry and dancing kind of way actually. The singer of the band..... Stops for a second in front of Kai, their hero. Then the prisoners take their guards and start throwing them through the lock. The falling guards leave just same gory spots on the metal structure on their way down as the poor young man, Parole, before.
The merry prisoners get some colorful feather boas from some hidden places and they throw one yellow one around Kai's neck. He is watching all this but is of course not participating.
Three of them surround Kai and hug him.
Doiley: „Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
Singer: „I love you!"
Old girl: „We knew, some day a real man would come along to free us."
Doiley: „And today is the day."
Kai: „I am not a real man. - I am a dead man."
Singer is kissing him on his cheek. Then Kai ducks down to get something of the ground and to avoid any further attacks from the merry man. The three leave him, scream happy and start dancing. Kai finds the fabrics of a balloon skin.

Xev in the meanwhile is almost at the very top of the city.

Queen: „Capt. Drumsticks. The proper way to address your Queen is to say: Your Majesty, I am your loyal subject and I'd gladly give you everything, that I can."
Stan: „Your Majesty, I am your royal subject and I am happy to give you everything, that I can. Now, look, Queen, Giggerotta, or whoever you are..."
But Stan is only mumbling it, he is also not convinced, but he might think that this might help him. Though, he is very uncomfortable with the cage on his head.
Stan: „Boy, let me just ... just get out of the top. Let me out of here!"
Queen: „Be careful, what you wish for, or you will get, what you want. Did you ever had a girlfriend?"
Stan: „Girlfriends? Yeah, yeah, I've had a lots..."
Queen: „Did you ever share your bodies with this girlfriends?"
Stan: „Yeah."
Clean (laughing): „Queen wants you to share your body ... with her."
Stan: „What do you want to do with my body?"
Queen: „Queen wants to put her head onto it."
Stan: „Where do you want to put your head on my body?"
Queen: „Queen wants to put her head onto the part that .... sticks out."
She is licking her lips again.

A lot of balloons are surrounding the city, where inside the council chamber there still is a discussion.
Hama: „I don't care, I am leaving."
Wretched holds her back.
Wretched: „If you leave, we'll loose column. Don't you do this, Hama, we still have a lot left on the agenda."
Hama: „Take your hand off me."
Socket: „She is right, Hama. You can't leave."
Hama: „What...?"
Socket: „Unless we make a motion to rejoin. Secundant."
Wretched: „I would like to speak to the motion, and I will make an amendment as well."
Carol leaves her seat.
Carol: „How do you bate a motion to a join?"
Wrenched shouts: „Point of personal privilege!"
Carol returns to her little chamber seat. She's afraid.
Wretched: „I move, we book the motion to a join in a special session."
The women roar.

There is a big party in the prisoner room. I don't know, where they got their fancy dresses, but all of them are covered with thick make up and colorful female dresses now. In front of them the dancing singer. There are feathers and colorful glitters and a lot of other stuff thrown in the air.

All are singing: 
„Come on girls, don't be afraid!
Freedom has come!
Freedom is ours!
Freedom is ours!
Freedom is ours!
Freedom is ours!
We all want that is Freedom, 
all the freedom has come..."
Kai is standing in the middle of everything and just watching, not participating at all.
Girls are throwing stuff, waving fabrics, bubbles flying in the air ... dancing merry. There are also Harre Krishna people. Kissing each other.
„We all want that is freedom...
freedom has come,
freedom is ours,
freedom has come,
freedom is ours,
freedom has come,
freedom is ours,
All we wanted is freedom, 
we all wanted is fun."
Doiley: „Kai, Kai, Kai, Kai..."
All: „Freedom has come...."
Kai turns around to finally leave this place where he is so displaced.
„Freedom has come.
Freedom is fun.
We all wanted is freedom, 
we all wanted is fun."

Doiley catches Kai before he gets away. 
Doiley: „The boys up there hate us, they always hated us. The held us down here in the fillth and heat, well, that is just not fair."
The singer is stroking Kai's chest.
Kai: „It doesn't seem fair."
Doiley: „There is nothing we can do, all we have is to suffer because we are different."
Kai: „No. You don't have to suffer anymore, because you are free. You can go."
Doiley: „Where?"
Kai: „Wherever you want."
Doiley is taking Kai by his hand and leading him deeper into the crowd. 
Doiley: „But we have nowhere else to go. Here on Fire. We don't want to kill people and take over their cities. We are not that tough."
Kai: „I just came from a place called Garden. Garden is a beautiful garden. And it is empty now. You could live there."
Kai is making a funny face when saying 'live'.
Doiley: „What is a garden?"
Kai: „A place with beautiful flowers and fruit, that is good to eat, are growing all around."
Doiley: „The Water planet. Did you hear that, girls, a place of our own? Garden is a place of beautiful flowers and plants, that are good to eat, grow all around. -But how do we get there?"
Kai: „Didn't you say, that you make balloons here?"
Well, they actually never told him, but he made his own clues after seeing the balloons skins.
Doiley: „But how would we find it, this garden, full of beautiful flowers and blossoms...?"
Kai: „I will show you, after I found Xev, I believe she is somewhere in this town."
Kai is leaving.
Doiley: „We will help you ... find her. Oh."
Doiley is hurrying after Kai. The girls are still partying happily.

Queen: „Pinky, rosy Capt. Stanley, Stanley Capt., pinky, rosy, pinky, rosy ... drumsticks. Free. This boring is over!"
Queen and laughing like hell. Stan is struggling. One of her guards is fumbling on the bath tube of Queen.
Queen: „I can hardly wait."

Doiley: „We haven't seen, that all these cities here on Fire follow certain pattern. They are each populated by one type or the other of horrible..."
Kai is taking another turn than Doiley who is rambling. 
Doiley: „... and vicious evil people."
The singer is returning / pushing Kai to the rest of the small group with Doiley. And now Kai has a few feathers in his hair, yellow and green.
Kai: „I have observed that."
Doiley: „So explain to us, how do we fit in? Are we horrible and vicious? It is just some kind of awful mistake. Hah?"
He is picking up a few feathers of Kai's outfit.
Other Girl: „We don't belong here. It is so awful."
The other girl is hanging on Kai's shoulder.
Doiley: „What have we done wrong? We don't belong on this planet."
Kai is going on, keeps searching for Xev.
Old Girl: „We belong on Water."
Doiley: „And the boys. They really do belong here."
Old Girl: „BOYS!"

Hama: „Call the question!"
Carol: „Is that on the motion to go in special session or the motion to a churn...?"
Wretched: „I believe that my motion is on the floor. Rental violas."
Hama: „Call the question!"
Carol: „All those in favor of the motion to...."
Then suddenly the door is opened by Kai and his merry followers. One of the female guards tries to stop Kai, but he is facing her very serious (though with all the pinky, yellow, green feathers in his hair and on his outfit he looks not exactly threatening), so she retreats without any resistance.
The women are screaming surprised.
Kai: „We are looking for a woman named Xev."
Carol: „You are a non-she."
Kai: „By a non-she do you mean a man?"
What an uproar on the women! Carol is getting unconscious. What a threat!

Queen is getting ready for the big moment!
Queen: „Queen wants to get to know every itch of you."
Stan is desperate.
Queen: „Queen is going to feel so good! Queen wants your body, Queen will take your body now."
Then she is rising from her bath, she is only a head on a mechanical robot arm. That is a pretty hard but fair punishment for her sins during live: eating other people! So all the tears she is sharing, no shame…
Stan screams: „Help me, somebody, help me! Kai."
His screams are going through and through the city corners, which looks pretty much the same as in K-Town, actually. All is always the same there!
If I got it right, than they shot the interior of such corners in Germany, there are many abandoned factory building in Germany. It fits also, that Tish, the girl from Girltown was played by the secretary of 'Anke -the Show' with Anke Engelke. Her name is ………… and THIN was played by the producer of the fun-show: …………
Kai and Xev on different places are hearing that. And running to rescue Stan. The girls are following Kai like a flock of clueless and lost chickens.
Kai: „Stanley may not be ready to depart from his neck."
Queen is furious.
Kai fires his brace, separates Stan from the chain on top of his head cage and Stan backs just in the second when the blades fall down to separate him from his head.
Doiley hurries to the bath tube.
Stan: „Oh, oh, thank you!"
Doiley: „This is for Parole!"
Doiley is pulling a wheel, so that Queen is sinking back into her bath, and under the surface of the bathing water.
Doiley hurries to the two female guards, which do not try to resist. They are afraid.
Doiley: „We are leaving this place forever. We are going to a garden on the planet Water, without you."
Right in that second Xev is entering the chamber.
Doiley: „And we are never coming back."
Stan is kissed by the old girls and shocked. Xev is watching everything from the door and is amused. Stan waves her.

The moth is leading the several balloons of Girltown with the girls inside to cross over to Water. Kai is calling the Lexx from the moth, beside him sit Xev and Stan.
Kai: „790"
790: „Yes, black man of death, separated from his blue robot head?"
Kai: „We are returning to the Lexx."
790: „Joy, joy and joy times joy. My man is coming home."
Stan: „Yeah, I think they deserve it."
Kai: „What?"
Stan: „Well, to be on the Garden city on Water, instead of Girltown- yeah, I think they will be happy there."

At one of the balloons.
Doiley: „I think, he looks just so gorgeous in black."

790: „There is a little snacky, Lexx."
Lexx: „Tasty snack."
Wow, the Lexx REACTS on a suggestion of 790! He must be VERY hungry! And confused because of that!
The girls look up in awe, when the Lexx starts to suck them in.
Stan is pointing at the mouth of the Lexx.
Stan: „Ah. Lexx, Lexx! Ah."
Also the moth is sucked towards the Lexx. It turns upside-down and Kai and Stan, sitting on the windows fall out. 
790: „No!"
Stan screams. Xev is able to stay inside, barely, and in that moment the key is leaving Stan's hand and turning over to Xev. She tries to gain control of the moth again.
Stan and Kai are falling down side by side. Down to Water.
Stan: „Kai, you've got to save me!"
Kai: „I am sorry, Stanley, but I cannot."
Stan: „What do you mean, you cannot?"
Kai: „I do not float!"
And then they are disappearing in the far distance.

3.12 - The Beach

Kai and Stan are falling down still. Side-by-side...
Stan: „Kai, you've got to save me!"
Kai: „I'm sorry, Stan, but I cannot."
Stan: „What do you mean, you can't?"
Kai: „I do not float."
Stan: „I don't wanna die."

Xev is still fighting for controlling the moth. It works after a while. A few more turns and then the moth is under control again and flies straight. She turns around and descends to the Water planet to search for Stan and Kai. But she is still in the clouds when Stan is screaming when they both hit the surface. Kai is sinking immediately. Stan surprisingly is not killed by the impact. I think you can tell now, that this two planets are definitely out of natural rules and laws. Of course, falling down from such a height would kill everybody, even if you would hit a water surface, it would make no difference. It would be as hard as on rocks.

Stan is swimming to the surface.
Stan: „I made it, I can't believe, I made it! - Kai. Kai? Kai? Kai, where are you, Kai? Can you hear me?"
But Stan is alone with the water, there is no city or anything else in sight besides waves and an endless horizon. - Xev is still searching from the moth.
And Kai is still sinking and sinking and sinking. He does not seem to be concerned or moved or anything. He's just waiting to hit the ground, or whatever. The arms are up, feet first.
It is really hard to see anything from the moth. Stan is not exactly a big spot in the endless sea. And his power is leaving him very fast now. He is still paddling and trying to keep on the surface, but it is getting harder and harder.
Stan: „You can do it, Tweedle. You can make it. You always made it before. You make it this time, too, I know it. - Somebody, can you hear me? It is a bad dream. It is a really bad dream."
He sees the moth in the far distance flying above him. He starts to wave and making a lot of water fountains, but to no use. The moth is just too far away.
Stan: „Ah, here, here, I am over here! Help me! - I'm over here. - I be here, this way. This. I am Stanley H. Tweedle, I am ready to make any promise..."
But the moth is flying into the wrong direction. And his energy is clearly leaving him and he is sucking water even more. He sinks deeper and deeper. 
Stan: „Please, help me."

It is getting dark on the water planet and Xev sees no chance for finding her friends again. She's crying.
Xev: „Kai, - Stan."
Kai is sinking into the dark sea. There seems to be no bottom.
Stan is still paddling. And he is spitting water.
Stan: „Somebody...  help... please...somebody... !"

Xev is returning to the Lexx. She enters the bridge, where 790 is waiting on the control blossom.
790: „Where is Kai?"
Xev: „I don't know."
790: „What do you mean, you don't know?"
Xev: „Stan is gone, too."
790: „As if that matters! He can't be gone. It doesn't make sense, my circuits are shorting."
Xev is sitting down on the blossom as well.
Xev: „Kai and Stan and I were crossing over with everyone on Girltown."
790: „I saw Lexx eat some things. They were right in front of him and he ate them. Some balloons and..."
Xev: „Us! We were there, too. Lexx ate the balloons and Kai and Stan were knocked out of the moth. I think they felt down to Water."
She's getting up on the control blossom.
Xev: „Lexx?"
Lexx: „Yes, Captain?"
790: „How are you the captain?"
Xev: „Stan gave me the key, when he felt out of the moth. Or the key left him on his own, I don't know."
She's getting up again.
Xev: „Lexx."
Lexx: „Yes, Captain?"
Xev: „Why did you eat the balloons?"
Lexx: „Because I was hungry. They were delicious. But they were only a very small snack. I am still very hungry."
Xev: „Can you fly now?"
Lexx: „I think, I can, but not very far. I need to eat much more."
Xev: „Do you know, what happened to Kai?"
Lexx: „Who is Kai?"
790: „The most gorgeous man that ever lived and lent some..."
Xev: „The dead man in black."
Lexx: „I don't know."
Xev: „We were there with the balloons when you ate them. You almost ate us."
Lexx: „They were very tasty, and I am still very hungry."
790: „You have to go back down. You have to find Kai, you have to do something."
Xev is sitting down next to 790.
Xev: „I know, but what?"
She has no clues what to do next.
Stan in the meanwhile is getting tired and cannot paddling very much anymore. And then, piece by piece he is sinking under the surface and only a few bubbles stay above.

Right at sunrise Xev starts with the moth again and returns to Water.
790: „I estimate that we can effectively control the entire surface of the planet in 142.3 days."
Xev: „This won't do Stan much good."
790 is making a surprised noise.
Xev: „What?"
790: „He is a dead assassin. That means, he is de-carbonized, that means, he does not float, and I can't bear to think about what that means. Ahhhh."
Well, XEV also knows that since the battle ep!
Xev: „You have to keep looking, 790, please, keep looking."

Stan is swept by waves on a lonely beach where he suddenly awakes in the middle of sea-water-bubbles on the sand.
Another person is waiting for him, all covered in black. Stan only sees the boots. But the person is kneeling down, and Stan is getting up on his knees as well.
Stan: „Prince!"
Prince: „Hello, Stanley."
Stan: „What are you doing here?"
Prince: „I am here, because I have caught you in my net. So to speak."
THAT is a hint towards ‚the Net / the Web'-epsiode at season 2! The DEATH is like a NET, a spider trying to catch you in!
Stan: „Caught me? How?"
Prince: „We will discuss that soon, together..."
Stan: „Where are we?"
Stan is looking around and such a beach does not look familiar.
Prince: „We are between Fire and Water."
Stan: „But there is nothing between Fire and Water. I mean, there is no, no land on Water, there is no water on Fire, and no planets on the sky, how can that be possible?"
Prince: „You made it possible."
Stan: „But sometimes, there are no planets in the sky, right? Sometimes they are on the other side."
Prince is nodding.
Prince: „We are on the other side."
Stan: „OK, very well, so that is that... but this is a beach, I mean, do I miss something, somehow?"
Prince: „No, you didn't miss anything."
Stan: „Then, where am I?"
Prince: „As I said, you are between Fire and Water."
Prince takes Stan's hand and leads him away from the sea waves down the beach.
Stan groans when getting up. He is hurt, or just exhausted.
Prince: „But not on either one of them. Not yet anyway. - Look, - here you come."
A pretty familiar person is approaching them, all covered in white, dressed in the security guard class 4 dress, but all in white. It is Stanley H. Tweedle, some alter-ego.
Stan: „That guy looks just like me."

Xev is still searching with the moth.
Xev: „What is that?"
790: „Nothing important, just a body."
Xev: „Nothing important?"
790: „It is a dead body. But not my dead body!"
Xev is getting down with the moth. It is Stan, face down, he's not moving any more. Xev is opening the window.
Xev: „Poor Stanley! Poor, poor Stanley."

And Kai is still sinking deeper, but curiously it is getting bright again. Far down there seems to be some bright light and Kai is approaching it. And now he seems to be at least a little bit interested in what is going on.

Xev is returning to the Lexx. She puts Stanley into the cryo chamber and starts the protein regenerator on him.
790: „You are wasting your time."
Xev: „Maybe. 
790: „You are!"
Xev: „Have any other suggestions?"
790: „Yes. Eject this corpse into space and concentrate on looking on my beloving hunk of living dead."
Xev: „790, this is the deal: You have to help me fix up Stan and once we have taken care of him we are trying to find Kai, OK?"
790: „The protein regenerator repairs damaged flesh. It does not bring the dead back to life."
Xev is fixing the cables on Stan's body.
Xev: „Well, Stan is damaged flesh."
790: „Stan is destroyed flesh. He is dead."
Xev: „Well, we have to try."
790: „It's a waste of time."
Xev: „I already heard that. Are you going to help me, or not?"
790: „I will do anything you ask, as long as you help me find my beloving."
Xev: „Fine. Let's try."
790: „But it is a waste of time."

Kai is sinking deeper now and encountering almost invisible figures, shapes of human beings, that are floating motionless and also somehow unconscious all around him. Kai sinks through clouds of them.

Prince on the beach is moving Stan in some kind of macabre dance. Stan is reluctantly. But you can notice that his clothes are dry now, and selfcleansed!
Prince: „Come on. dadadadada...hehehe."
Stan stops in front of his white alter ego.
Stan: „Who are you?"
Alter Ego: „Stanley Tweedle."
Stan: „Well, technically, that could be the right answer, seems that you look just like me. But I am Stanley Tweedle."
Prince: „Let's skip the technicalities. Let's talk about you."
Stan: „I was."
Prince: „Tell me, Stanley, would you rather be on Fire or on Water?"
Stan: „I would rather be on Water, of course. Not that I ever want to make that choice."
Prince is touching his shoulder like a pal.
Prince: „Don't worry, you won't, he will. He will decide, whether you suffer forever on Fire, or enjoy yourself forever on Water."
Stan: „Who is he? And why does he get to decide?"
Alter Ego: „I'm you."
Prince: „And therefore he knows you as than anyone else. I will argue that you should spend eternity with me at Fire. ... And I will make sure, that you suffer!"
Stan is shocked. This is very serious.
Alter Ego: „He is very good with pain."
Prince: „I am."
Stan: „OK, well, who's gonna argue that I will spend my time on Water, provided that is the only alternative."
Prince: „It is and you are, you will defend your life. And he, the other you, will be your judge. ... So, Stanley, tell me about yourself. 
Stan: „What, everything?"
Prince: „... everything, there is nothing you can hide."
Prince almost huggs Stan.
Prince: „Also there may be a few things that you want to explain."
Stan: „But..."
Prince: „Come..."
He takes Stan for a little walk along the beach.
Stan: „I, I always just done, what I had to do. Get from one day to the next. Well, more or less."
Prince: „More or less?"
Prince starts dancing a little bit. This will be easy for him.

Kai is still sinking through the clouds of white shapes. One actually looks a little bit like Bunny but she's not aware of him when he passes by.

Xev tries to reactivate Stanley's body. There is a little movement, Xev is grinning hopefully.
Xev: „It's working."
Stan: „No, it is not. Those are just nerves firing in response of electrical stimulation. The man is dead."
Xev: „We have repaired everything on his body, why isn't he alive?"
790: „Because he is a rotting sack of meat. And I told you, this would not work. We are wasting precious time, that can be usefully spend rejoining two hearts in love."
Xev: „Kai doesn't have a heart. And nor do you."
790: „I have a virtual heart."
Xev: „No, you don't. And Kai doesn't love you."
790: „Yes, he does."
Xev: „No, he doesn't, the dead don't love."
790: „Why do you hate me?"
Xev: „I don't hate you."
Xev is almost crying.
790: „You do, admit it!"
Xev: „I can only admit, that you really are one very messed up robot head."
She's touching the robot head.

Stan: „So Wayne asked, if we wait outside, when he went inside to buy himself a drink. But me and my brother, you know, we left him there. And by the time he came out, we were long gone."
Prince: „What a way to treat your best friend."
Stan: „Oh, he was being a jerk. You know, we didn't have any money and he wasn't going to share."
Prince: „But still, you were willing to abandoned your best friend, because you wouldn't share his salter water with you."
Stan: „Yeah, you know, we were never friends after that. I mean, something just got broken and it couldn't be fixed. See, but at that time I told myself, you know, that is the right thing to do. But you know, I knew, it wasn't. I mean, he was just in the mood I shouldn't have left him there. And how bad he must have been felt, and his best friends were... gone."
Prince: „Not as bad as you are going to feel."
Stan: „You know, there hasn't been a day, the week, a month, a year, that's gone by and pressed in my entire life, that I haven't thought about that, and just felt bad and wished, there was some way to make it up."
Prince: „Well, you can't. What's done cannot be undone."
Stan: „So, does that mean, I'm gonna have to go to Fire?"
Alter Ego: „No."
Prince: „You were only 14."
Stan: „Oh, so, we gonna talk about the 94 reform planets. I mean, that's, that's what is gonna do me in, am I right?"
Alter Ego: „No. That was sin able mission. His Divine Shadow destroyed the 94 reform planets. If you had given up your life to save them, we wouldn't be walking on the beach right now, you already would be on Water. You choose not to be a hero, you chose to live on. And do many bad things."
Stan: „What bad things?"
Prince: „You made many bad choices. - The kind that I prefer, when you could have made good choices."

Xev is putting off all the cables from Stan's body. And then she closes the cryo pod and freezes him.
790: „Frozen meat, dead meat. Stanley meat. It is always the same thing: you are wasting power storing it in there."
Xev: „I am the captain, also I can waste power, if I want to. Come on, 790, let's go."
She is taking him in her arms, carry him away.
790: „Where are we going?"
Xev: „Fishing."
790: „Excellent idea!"

The weather on the beach is not as sunny as it was, when he arrived. It is getting pretty cloudy and almost rainy even. Doesn't that mean anything?
Stan: „From the time I arrived on the cluster until the time I played a very significant role in the destruction of the Divine Order. Nothing much happened I mean, in my life, on a personal level."
Prince is getting inpatient now, you can see that on his face and he's not as merry as he was before.
Prince: „Nothing comes to mind, that you did wrong?"
Stan: „Well, I am sure, there must been, might have been maybe a few small things, but nothing I remember that well."
Prince: „Nothing?"
Stan: „Nothing that springs to mind."
Prince: „That is funny! A few things are springing into my mind."
Stan: „There were?"
Prince: „Yes, they spring in and then they spring out again."

In a big bubble over the beach appears a memory, the blue Zev and Stan fleeing of the guards of the cluster:
Terminal: „Invalid code, access denied."
The guards are approaching them. Stan grips Zev on the hand but she's stronger and gets free again.
Stan: „I have her. I took Zev of B3K."
The screen shows also Stan's image.
Terminal: „This fugitive is wanted for immediate termination..."

Prince: „Selfish behavior."
Alter Ego: „I do."
Stan: „Oh, come on, I did not even know, who she was."
Prince: „Who cares?"
Stan: „She could have been a killer or something. And besides it was all just a reflex action.  - OK, fine, I admit, maybe I didn't do the best thing. But I was in a panic and you can not gonna damn me for that."
Alter Ego is thinking about that for a while.
Alter Ego: „No."
Prince: „He doesn't have to."
Stan: „What do you mean?"
Prince: „You'll see."

Another memory bubble:
Xev and Giggerotta are fighting over Stan.
Stan: „Ladies, I have got the hand, the key to the Lexx, it only does what I tell it, remember? ... Ah ...what is that?"
Another ship is appearing on the screen.
Lexx: „The Divine Shadow's personal flagship: the mega shadow, and the clusters 24th attack wing."
Stan: „Ah, Lexx,... could you please destroy them, if you don't mind?"
Lexx: „I cannot fulfill your command. They are forces under the immediate direction of His Divine Shadow."
Kai: „...and you are not permitted to destroy them."
Everybody's turning around and facing death in person: a divine assassin. Kai.
At the original EP there was a reply of the Lexx to Kai's statement, but this part was cut on this replay, because it would not fit in the 'newer' philosophy of Lexx ONLY responding to the captain! Old mistakes …
Stan: „I am security guard fourth class Stanley Tweedle, and I am captured by these escaped prisoners and I am surrendering the Lexx and truly worship His Divine Shadow."
Giggerotta is attacking Stan.
Giggerotta: „You waste of skin!"

Prince: „You knew who Zev was then, didn't you?"
Stan: „Sort of."
Prince: „And yet you still did not hesitate to betray her."
Stan: „I was stalling for time, really."
Prince: „Really?"
Alter Ego: „No, you were afraid of dying."
Alter Ego is pointing at Stan.
Prince: „Whereas you should have been afraid of what will happen after your death."
Stan: „Are you saying, that I have to go to Fire now, is that it?"
Prince: „Not at all, you have done many things that are far worse than that in your little lifetime."
He is stroking Stan's cheek.
Stan: „Really?"
Prince: „Yes, really."

Xev and 790 are flying in the moth down to the water surface again.
790: „Here."
Xev: „How can you tell?"
790: „It is a robot location kind of thing."
Xev: „What's that?"
790: „I don't know, it just is. I know this is the spot, where we found the security guard's dead body."
Xev: „But how do you know that? There is nothing to make any reference to, just open water."
790 starts to cry.
790: „First I loose my man and then everybody starts to pick on me."
Xev: „I am not picking on you. I just asked you a question."
790: „You hate me."
Xev: „790, I already told you, I don't hate you."
790: „You love him, don't you?"
Xev: „Who?"
790: „I knew it, I knew it, I knew it. You are in love with my dead man."
Xev: „Look, 790, I will admit that once I had some... in fact quite a lot of feelings for Kai. It didn't go anywhere, because it couldn't. I am alive and he is dead. So I have tried to move on..."
790: „Tried, but you haven't succeeded?"
Xev is quite. But her eyes are filled with tears as well.
790: „You are trying to steal my stiff away!"
790 is increasing crying.

Kai is encountering a familiar shape on his way down: colorful clothes, long black hair, it is him, the part of him, that is alive, but just as the other shapes, the living Kai is not aware of anything around him. He just seems to wait like all the other shapes there. And the dead Kai is passing his living part as the rest of the white shapes and sinking deeper and deeper. But besides himself, he encounters no other Brunnen-G-dead-shapes there … does that mean, they are not there? They passed that system by getting straight to the DREAM zone?

Xev arrives with the moth above the sea. She has a black device in her hand, looks like a buoy.
Xev: „Are you sure this is the spot?"
790: „Would I scout you wrong?"
Xev: „I don't know, you might want no one to have him, maybe, if you can't."
790: „I love him completely, don't I?"
Xev: „In your special 790 way you do."
790: „Then I want to find my man, desperately."
Xev: „I believe you."
She is throwing the sonar device into the sea, it sinks very fast, and is still connected to Xev by a jute cord, which is rolling out of an organic sack.
790: „When we catch him, promise me, to let him be mine and mine alone."
Xev: „No."
790: „Please, Xev, I'm begging you."
Xev: „No."
790: „I'll humiliate myself, I'll do anything."
Xev: „No."
790: „Then I am going to kill myself."
Xev: „No, you won't."
790: „Yes, I will!"
Xev: „No, you won't, because you can't, you are a robot head, you cannot even move if I don't take you up."
790: „Then throw me over the side."
Xev: „No."
790: „Please, Xev. I can't stand, to live another minute to know, that you're trying to steal my man away!"
Xev: „I am not trying to steal your man."
790: „You are not?"
Xev: „No, I am just fishing for him. Like you. Nor either one of us will catch his fish."
790: „So I have a chance?"
Xev: „Yes, 790, you have a chance. - Not much of so, but a tiny little robot head in love chance to make his dead man dreams come true."
Well, but the dead only have one want: to be dead!
790: „I ... am ... so ... happy!"

Into a very bright light at the bottom of the planet. Kai is passing the very last shapes, sinks into the light and there the dead Kai suddenly disappears. Funny: his brace is a little bit out of his arm, on the usual cord of course. Why is his brace fired?
Was that one of the many occasion, that the brace-thing was firing during shooting without permission of the director? Male functioning?

The sonar thing stops sinking down, not even near to the position where Kai was. Far away even from the light on the bottom of the sea.
Xev: „Oh no, we are out of rope."
790 starts crying.

At the beach:
Stan: „You're not taking everything in account. I did good things, too. Can you make them appear?"
Prince: „You can. If you can think of any."
Stan nods and concentrates.

Memory bubble:
In the chamber of the Precessors on the Lexx. His Shadow is firing beams on Kai. It looks bad for the good old Brunnen-G warrior. Zev and Stan just entering the chamber. Zev wants to help Kai. She is destroying brains of the Precessors, so that the Shadow is distressed for a second!
Kai shoots and splits His Shadow's head into two pieces.

Stan: „It was me and Xev, if we hadn't been destroying those brains than Kai never would have got his chance, to kill his Divine Shadow. See? So I helped to destroy the Divine Shadow, and get rid of the universe of the Divine Order. This has to count something."
Prince: „I'd say she acted very bravely."
Stan: „Well, so did I."
Prince: „Going along with her brave act was a good choice, I admit, Stanley, most unusual of you."
Stan: „But I did!"
Alter Ego: „Yes, you did, and that will cancel out some of your wrong choices."
Stan: „So, does that got to mean, that I get to go to Water?"
Prince: „Not at all. The best part, from my point of view, is yet to come. Remember this?"

Memory bubble:
on the gondola with the wrong Kai. A living Kai but actually Prince.
Stan: „We have to get more flames, or we are gonna crash and burn."
Wrong Kai: „That is all there is."
Stand is looking at Fify sitting next to Bunny.
Stan: „OK, then we have to loose weight now!"
wrong Kai: „So, who's gonna volunteer to die?"
Stan: „I am volunteering him."
Fify: „I volunteer you."
Stan: „No, it is our balloon, we picked you up and you got some extra life. So, come on, Fify, do the right thing and go over the side, come on, come on! You lost the vote."
Fify: „No!"
Stan: „Go easy."
Fify: „You jump!"
Stan: „No no no no - „
Fify: „I am not jumping!"
Stan: „We've got to throw you over."
The wrong Kai, Xev and Stan are gripping the reluctant Fify.
 Xev: „Kai!"
Fify: „No, no, please I am begging you. Ouch, you can't just kill me! Snuff out my life as if it was nothing. - Hey, and if Duke is right and there is another life, you all will have to pay for this wrong."
Wrong Kai: „I thought, you didn't believe him!"

Prince is grinning. This is exactly the present situation of Stan!

Memories:
Stan: „You have no choice, Fify, come on!"
Fify: „No, this killing is wrong! There has to be a way! Okay so, we think there is not enough fuel. Maybe the wind will change direction or something..."
Bunny is starting to cry, she can't stand it anymore. Stan is climbing over the side to get a grip on Fify.
Fify: „You can't take away a man's precious life, because there is not enough wind!"
Fify is biting Stan in the hand.
Stan: „Let it go!"
Xev: „I don't know, Stan, I don't know, if I can throwing him over the side either."
Stan: „Are you going crazy on me again. Just, look, be practical for once. What is he going to do, if we all crash and burn? - Come on, Kai, give me your hand!"
Xev: „I can't. What is wrong, is wrong!"

Prince: „Look, there's just so much to choose!"

Another memory bubble:
The red hair Xev of the second season, when they just found the crashed prisoner transporter on an abandoned planet. She's talking into a speaker to the Lexx, where Stan is on the bridge.
Xev: „Stan, here is Xev. We found somebody alive. There could be more."
Stan: „Somebody? Who? What kind of somebody?"
Xev: „A female somebody."
Stan: „Female? - Is she attractive?"
Xev: „Is that all that matters to you?"
Stan: „Yeah, pretty much!"
Xev: „Bye, Stan."
Stan: „No, wait, wait!"

Stan looks desperate, stroking his hair.
Stan: „What's so wrong about that?"
Prince: „Does the word 'selfish' mean anything to you?"
Stan: „Oh. Come on, that is small, what do you expect, perfection? That comes just been a guy ... with needs, you know, like any other guy."
He is tipping on Prince's chest! He should know, man to another 'man'!
Stan: „OK, look, anyway, I already paid for that!"
Prince: „How?"
Stan: „Well, I was almost raped by a robot head."
Prince: „Almost. - And what about this?"

Memory bubble:
the moth in front of the Lexx out in space.
Red Hair Xev: „790 is an electronic device. Won't he be destroyed, too?"
Stan: „His mini brain is not an electronic circuit. So it shouldn't be destroyed, so is that the part that counts now?"
Kai: „790 is a hybrid, part human, but mostly machine. Any pulse that destroys the drones will certainly also destroys 790."
Xev: „So?"
Stan: „The Lexx is about to die here, and we are about to die with it! We can't stop to save a robot head."

Stan: „But we did stop, we went back to the stupid robot head. We almost got killed in the process."
Prince: „But would you have gone back if Xev hasn't pushed you?"
Stan: „Look! I didn't want to go back inside the Lexx, because it wasn't sensible. Yeah, we were risking Xev's life, too. And I didn't want her to die, anymore than I want me to die! Somebody had to be practical on her behalf, because she never is."
Alter Ego is nodding. 
Stan: „There, see, I was right!"
Prince: „I don't agree, but I will concede the point."
Stan: „Well, good, we are finally move this process in the right direction."
Prince: „That direction is about to change."
Stan: „Oh, so what are we going to talk about now: the me losing the amino acid codes that caused 94 reform planets been destroyed?"
Prince: „No."
Stan: „Then what?"
Prince is quietly starring but grinning.
Stan: „Well, I don't remember anything else, that I did, that was especially wrong... anything big, that is!"
Prince: „I remember."
Prince whispering in Stanley's ear.
Prince: „I was there!"

Memory bubble:
Stanley is lying besides the dead body of May in one cryo pod.
May: „I would have liked you, Stanley, I know, I would have. I would have liked you, Stanley, I know, I would have. I know, I would have. I know, I would have. I know, I would have."
Stan is waking up and searching for the source of the voice.
Stan: „May? May? May? May? Are you there?"
May: „Am I here, Stanley, am I?"
Stan is seeing nobody. He is confused.
May: „I am here for you, Stanley, if you want me to be..."
Stan: „May?"
May: „Do you want me, Stanley?"
Stan: „....May, are you there?"
Prince: „She is there, Stanley!"
Prince is in the cryo pod unit and stroking the dead May's shoulder.
Prince: „She is there, Stanley. She is there for you, Stanley, if you want her to be."
Stan: „Prince."
Prince: „She is there, Stanley, she is there for you if you want her to be..."
Stan: „What are you doing here? You are dead, aren't you?"
Prince: „Do you want her, Stanley?"
Stan: „What - what are you talking about?"
Prince: „Do you want May? Do you want her to be there, to be alive and to be yours, yours alone?"
Stan: „I don't know. What are you, what are you talking about? What are you saying?"
Prince: „Do you want May to be alive and yours? Or not?"
Stan: „I don't know, but... she is... she is."
Prince: „She is dead, yes! - But she does not have to be dead, if you don't want her to."
Stan: „But, how, how?"
Prince: „You saw me die,... do you want May to live, Stanley?"
Stan: „Yes, yes, I want May to live and to be mine alone."
Prince: „Good, and you and I will make a deal."
He is hugging Stan.
Prince: „I will give you May. And in return, you will agree to use this ship, the Lexx, to help me to destroy the planet Water."
Stan: „But there are people on the planet Water."
Prince: „Yes, there are people on it."
Stan: „Can they leave?"
Prince: „No, they must also be destroyed along with the planet."
Stan: „Wow. When do I have to do this?"
Prince: „As soon as possible."
Stan: „No, no, I can't, I am not destroying an entire planet for anybody, not... for just one person."
Prince: „That's a good decision. - You have passed the test."

Prince: „Only temporarily or you wouldn't be here."

Memory bubble:
Stan: „If this is, will May live now?"
Prince: „No, no, this means, May will stay where she is, she will remain dead."

Prince: „Oh, here comes the best part!"

Memory bubble:
Prince has disappeared.
Stan: „Prince? Prince, I agree, I use the Lexx to blow up Water that May can live... I agree! Prince? Prince?"
May: „Stanley?"
Stan: „May? You are alive."
And May grips Stanley and kisses him.

Prince: „That will be a very costly kiss! For you anyway."
Stan: „No."
Prince: „What 'no'?"
Stan: „No, I did not destroy Water! Water was not blown up."
Prince: „Stanley, you are not been condemned for destroying the 94 reform planets, because that is not something you wanted it to happen. Also it did happen and all humiliate is your fault."
Stan: „I did not want it to happen, and it didn't happen! Water was not blown up by me... or by anybody!"
Prince: „But you would have done it! You wanted it to happen. True?"

Memory bubble:
Stan on the bridge of the Lexx.
Stan: „Lexx, how long now?"
Lexx: „We will be directly aimed at the Water planet in ten seconds, 9, 8, 7, 6..."
Stan: „Lexx, I command you to ..."
Lexx: „5, 4, 3... „
Xev: „What?"
Lexx: „2."
Stan: „Xev. Lexx, I command you to..."
Lexx: „1, zero."
Xev climbs on the blossom in front of Stan!
Xev: „To do what?"
Lexx: „We are now directly aimed at the Water planet, Stan."
Stan: „Stay out of that."
Xev: „Stay out of what?"
Stan: „Whatever it is, I am doing..."
Xev: „And what's that, mh?"
Stan: „Let me go, Xev, you don't know, what's going on!"
She is graping him very hard and throwing him off the blossom. Gripping his throat!
Xev: „Not yet."
Stan: „I command you to..."
Xev: „What are you up to, Stanley Tweedle, ha? You tell me, what it is, or I am going to squeeze the life out of you!"
Stan: „Don't."
Xev: „Why don't you tell me? Or what? - No?"
Stan: „Yes."
Xev: „Alright!"
She is loosening her grip on his throat!
Xev: „OK?"
Stan: „Lexx, blow up the Water planet now!"
He is almost not understandable, but all the electronic devises at the Lexx-universe always understand even very fuzzy mumbling! Kai also, that means, he is some kind of a machine as well, right?
Lexx: „As you command, Stan!"
The Lexx is firing, but just missing the planet.
Lexx: „I am sorry, Stanley. I missed. We have passed the position when I was pointed directly at the planet."
Xev is relieved.

Stan at the beach is in really big trouble now. He tries to think of a solution or excuse.
Stan to Alter Ego: „Look, it was a moment of passion, OK, I was, I was acting crazy, I couldn't help myself."
Prince shouting: „A moment of passion, was it? A little tiny moment of insanity? That came and went in an instant? Or was it cold attempt of mass murder. That came within a hair spread of success?"

Memory bubble:
Back on the side of the dying May. Stan wakes up by Prince.
Stan: „Prince!"
Prince: „You did not destroy the Water planet, Stanley."
Stan: „I tried, but Xev stopped me. Does that mean, May is gonna die now?"
Prince: „Now that is up to you. I will give you one more chance. You will destroy Water the next time this ship is pointing at it. Or May will be gone from you forever. „
Stan nods.
Stan: „And if I do?"
Prince: „Then she will live and will be yours. For the rest of your life."
Xev: „Stanley?"
Stan: „What is it, Xev?"
Prince just disappeared again.
Xev: „Stanley? I thought, I heard something."
Stan: „What?"

Back on the beach.
Prince: „What a tragedy. You didn't get the girl. But she certainly got you."

Memory bubble:
The last chapter.
Lexx: „We will be there in two minutes, Stanley!"
Stan: „Good."
Xev is rolling on in her lizard style. Very fast through the corners of the ship.
Stan: „Lexx, I command you to ..."
Xev grips him very strong again. She's throwing him on the floor and pressing her breasts on his mouth.
Xev: „I don't think so, Stanley. We are not going to destroy a planet, we are not going to kill people, we don't know, we're not going to kill Kai, though he is already dead, you hear me?"
Stan gets no breathe.
Stan: „Lexx, I command you to..."
Xev: „No, Stanley, we are not going to destroy the planet, do you hear me?"
Stan: „Let me, Xev, yes, I do agree, I do agree, so let me up, that I can breath...!"
Xev, „No, Stanley, ask the Lexx, if he has passed the point, where he can destroy the planet. Ask him, Stanley, and there is no point in trying anything else!"
Stan: „Lexx, Lexx, are you still pointing at the planet?"
Lexx: „Yes, I am, Stanley! I will be aimed at the water planet for six more seconds. 5, 4, 3..."
Stan: „Lexx?"
Xev: „Don't even try!"
And is stopping him with her breasts again.
Lexx: „2, 1. We are not longer aimed at the Water planet."
Xev lets him go.

Alter Ego is suddenly wearing black clothes now.
Stan: „But I didn't know, that it was the... the planet, where all the good people went, after they died. I didn't know, it is so important."
Prince: „No matter. You knew, it was a planet with people on it and you were willing to commit mass murder for your own selfish personal pleasure. True, Stanley Tweedle?"
Alter Ego: „Yes."
Stan is realizing now, that he has lost ... everything.
Stan: „I was in love."
Prince is touching his cheek.
Prince: „That's nice, but it is not a reason to kill. ... and that is all I have to say."
Prince is walking away down the beach.
Prince: „I will see you later, Stanley Tweedle!"
And he disappears. Than the black Alter Ego just disappears as well and also the whole beach. And suddenly Stanley's soul is floating in a dark place, with other suffering souls, moving back and forth and mourning.

The moth is flying into the sunset. 790's crying very badly.
790: „We can't give up now!"
Xev has tears in her eyes as well.
Xev: „We are not giving up. It just wasn't the right spot! We try other places when it gets light again."
790: „It was the right spot! I am sure. That was exactly where we found the security guards corpse (carcass)."
Xev: „Yes, but we didn't find Kai."
790 is crying desperate and Xev is stroking him.
Xev: „No more tears, 790. We'll find him somehow."

Kai disappears in the light, particle by particle. And he suddenly reappears on one bed on one of the cities of Water. Where he somehow wakes up sudden, gets up (very dry, not wet any more at all), exploring his surroundings.
People: „Drop them, drop them. Oh, up there, up there. Give me the left, give me the left. Put the lead. Over here, over here. Okay, and go, go, go. Alright!"
People playing the ballgame again. Guess, that means, Kai is on Gametown again. He is observing the game but not participating, just as he was before when Bunny and Fify were still there. Nobody is asking him any questions.
Why he did he appear on Gametown? Because, he is still a player of the BIG GAME? Or because he's just an actor and the whole series is just PLAY?
Kai is going to the balcony of the city, and there is the moth in the far distance of the sunset. He is whistling on his fingers.

On the moth:
790: „Hooch, what was that?"
Xev: „What?"
790: „I have an enhanced hearing. And I just heard him!"
Xev: „Who?"
790: „Who else but the greatest man who ever died!"
Xev: „Really?"
Xev is very happy. And turning the moth into a different direction.
790: „I am in robot heaven!"
Hearts appear in his eye screens! The moth is approaching the city tower.

3.13 - Heaven and Hell

Stan's body is still frozen in the cryo pod. All alone on the Lexx.
The moth with Xev and 790 inside is approaching Gametown, where Kai is waiting on one of the balconies. The sun is setting.
790: „I am going to wet myself with tears of joy. Hooch, there he is..."
Xev is landing and opening the door for Kai. Kai sits down as if nothing happened. Xev takes 790 into their middle.
790: „Kiss me, Kai!"
Kai takes a look at Xev, like a little question - a call for advice, then he is kissing his fingers and putting them on the exterior of 790. 790 is very happy now.
790: „I'll never wash that spot."
The moth takes off.
790: „On a branch there is a fruit, plumb and right for sucking. In a moth there is a Kai, cold but right for..."
Xev: „Give him a break, 790!"
790: „I can't help it! I am obsessed by my man!"
Kai: „Thank you, 790, but that is enough!"
Xev: „Nice to see you again, Kai."
Kai: „Thank you, Xev."
Xev: „We know, you didn't float. And we were really worried, that we may be would never find you again. That you would sunk down inside the planet forever."
Kai: „Did you find Stan's body?"
Xev: „Yes, it was floating facedown. We took him back to the Lexx and tried to use the protein regenerator on him."
790: „But it was all a big waste of time. The dead stay dead, but one of the dead can pop some life into me anytime. Uuaaaaauauuuuah!"
Kai: „Can the Lexx fly now?"
Xev: „A short way only. He says, the balloons he ate, were just a snack and he is still weak. So probably he has to eat a lot more."
She shows her glittering hand.
Xev: „I have the key."
Kai nods.
Xev: „Kai."
Kai: „What?"
Xev: „Is there anything we can do?"
Kai: „About what?"
Xev: „About Stanley!"
790: „We can forget about him."
Kai: „He is dead."
He tries to indicate, that he thinks, that the dead should stay dead. And that means also himself!
Xev: „So are you. But it hasn't been the end for you. Does that mean the end for him?"
Kai: „Under water I saw countless shapes. I think, they are the life essences of people who ... died, and who will live again."
Xev: „Why do you think that?"
Kai: „In the center of the planet there is a brightness. I sank into that brightness and then I woke up again ... on Gametown / on Water."
Xev: „What do you mean, you woke up?"
Kai: „I don't know exactly, but people here say, they are not born, because they wake up. I think, I experienced such a process. Everyone, who wakes up here, has lived and died before. I believe, it is a continues cycle."
Xev: „If you woke up, ... are you alive now?"
Kai: „No, I am still dead. But..."
Xev: „What...?"
Kai: „I saw the living part of me deep inside this planet waiting for his turn to wake up... and live again."
Xev: „So should we try to find him? I mean: you. Him."
Kai: „I think my living shape will have no knowledge of his former self and that he will wake up... somewhere here, and lead a happy life. - That is a ... good outcome!"
Xev is nodding but she is not happy about that thought. Kai senses and sees her unhappiness and he changes the direction.
Kai: „But if you want to, we can..."
Xev: „No, it's... it's fine. - You are right, it is a good... outcome. Why do we want to change it? - What about Stanley?"
Kai: „He is not here inside this planet."
Xev: „Why not?"
Kai: „Water seems to be the afterlife for the virtues. Stanley did not always make virtues choices. I suspect, he has gone to Fire."
Kai looks up to the other planet on the sky.
Xev: „Then we are going to Fire!"
Kai: „What for?"
Xev: „To get Stanley!"
Xev is directing the moth to the other planet.

On the planet Fire: one of the cities, in a chamber on top of it. It looks pretty much like the room where Xev woke up from her cryo sleep at the beginning of this season. Prince's chamber.
And there he is, kind of meditating when one of his men is opening the door and entering the room. The man bows.
Man: „Prince, we have..."
Prince: „...visitors. I have been expecting them."
Man: „What shall we do?"
Prince: „We shall entertain them."
Prince is going to one of his window slots and watches the moth descending.
He is opening the door to the balconies.
The moth is not yet landing, Xev is still hesitating.
Xev: „It is Prince, looking as good as new."
Prince's opening his arms to a kind of invitation.
Xev: „What do you think?"
Kai: „I think, that to land here is to risk your life. But I also think that Prince is the most capable of answering your questions about Stanley."
Xev: „We are landing."
And that's what she does.
After that Xev is entering Prince's chamber right after him, and Kai is the last to follow. Xev stops right behind the door and takes a look around.
Xev: „Looks familiar."
Prince: „Of course. So, Xev, you come for another kiss? You seem to be enjoying it last time."
Xev: „Which time? Before you died, or after you died, or when you came back as Kai?"
Prince: „All of them, - whatever..."
Kai: „We have come to find Stanley Tweedle."
Prince: „He is dead."
Xev: „How do you know that?"
Kai: „We have recovered his body. It is fully functional, but he is not alive."
Prince: „He is not alive, because he is dead."
Kai goes down the stairs to the bottom next to some kind of a well, where Prince is standing. Xev stays behind on the door.
Kai: „We have learned, that these two planets seem to be a type of repositary for the part of the human which is his life essence outside of the physical body."
Prince nods: „That is very good."
Prince is approaching Kai, sniffling at Kai's shoulder and circling the dead man. Now Xev is following him down the stairs.
Xev: „And we think, that Stanley's life essence is here, and we want it back."
Prince: „Very good again. Stanley's life essence is here! But you can't have it back."
Xev: „Why not?"
Prince: „Because I have it."
Xev: „Then give it to us!"
Prince: „No!"
Xev: „Kai!"
Kai is opening his brace and holding the blades on Prince throat.
Prince: „I have lived and died many times. Physical threat has no meaning to me. If you kill me I will instantly live again, as whoever I want, wherever I choose."
Kai: „But only here."
Prince: „Correct. That is my only limitation. For now."
Well, that is not exactly true, because Prince appeared as the wrong Kai on Boomtown and that is on Water!
Xev: „Why do you have Stanley?"
Kai is retreating his brace thing. And Prince takes a few steps around the both of them, starts rambling.
Prince: „Because Stanley did not live a good and perfect life!"
Prince fills up his little water bottle on that distillation devise.
Xev: „Where is he?"
Prince: „Stanley Tweedle is waiting his term for punishment!"
And he points down to the sort of well in the middle of the room. So it is not a real well but seems to be filled with lava.
Prince: „Your visit here interests me. Clearly your bug can not fly, or you would have left. I expect that you have come to negotiate a deal."
Kai is jumping into the well, the lava is sucking him up!
Xev (surprised): „Ah!"
Prince: „The heat there is enough to instantly insulfur all human flesh."
Xev: „That won't stop Kai."
Prince: „I suspect, you are right!"
Xev: „I am."
Prince is clearly confused!
Prince: „This has never happened before. You are the first!"
He is getting up a few steps above the well.
Xev: „First what?"
Prince: „The first people to come here living their original life... This is been the most interesting time, the most unsettling time. A time of great possibility."
He is taking a sip of his water.
Prince: „And now it is time for me to die."
He gives Xev the bottle of water, now empty. She takes it.
Prince: „Thank you."
And then he jumps into the well as well. Xev is watching him disappear in the red and hot lava.

Kai is falling a long way down from the blue sky on a rocky and sandy desert landscape. The force of the impact is almost burying him in the sands. It takes Kai a few seconds to gather his senses and to get up on his feet again. He is fine, just very dirty and covered with fine dust. No damage to his inner systems, though he seems to look out at such. He gets up and looks around. (The actor is fighting with himself for not coughing, the sand is a pain in the ass for his nose, you can clearly see that!). Then he takes a few steps along bizarre rocks (it took his clothes just this few seconds to clean themselves). Then he turns around as he heard something or did he feel something? A few seconds later right in the direction where Kai is looking at a white shape appears, it is Prince but covered all in white now. That looks pretty strange! Does that mean, this is not the original Prince, or this Prince here has another intention?
The white Prince is approaching the waking Kai, it's a nice couple, black and white!
Kai: „Where it's Stanley Tweedle?"
Prince: „Here. Would you like to see him?"
That is a funny question and Kai would usually answer that the dead have no likes. But he is not. He is actually thinking about the question in a serious way, hesitates a little bit - does that mean, he is feeling something now (?), - just a little bit (?) ...
Kai: „Yes, I would!"
Prince: „Then come with me." 
Prince gives Kai his hand. Kai looks down to it, not taking it. Then Prince is taking Kai and leading him across the surreal landscapes. It really is a nice couple: black and white.

Xev in the meanwhile is alone in the chamber and filling up the bottle of water, that Prince gave her, at the distillation devise. Suddenly one of Prince's man is opening the door, he is taking his knife when he does not see Prince. He pulls his blade.
Prince's man: „Where is our Prince?"
Xev stays very cool, continues drinking the water and then answers very sovereign.
Xev: „I am your Prince!"
The man is hesitating for a few seconds and then bowing.
Xev: „You can leave now!"
He does as told. And closes the portal behind him again.

Alone in the moth on the balcony of the Fire city.
790: „In a moth there is a head, who's man is cold and dead! And all the head can ever do is dream of him in bed. Oh, I soars so, it hurts, it hurts so bad to love a dead man!"
He is crying deeply.

Kai is following the white shape of Prince on the top of a rocky hell.
Kai: „Being dead I do not care about things. But I do ... think about them."
Prince: „What do you think about?"
Kai: „I try to understand the difference between the living and ... myself."
They stop walking for a second. And facing each other. Prince is touching Kai's cheek in a soft way.
Prince: „Well, you are not living. You are a chemical machine, in the lack of a better term. Would you like to be alive again?"
Kai: „I do not have likes!"
Well, I think, that means, that Kai is NOT getting emotions in Prince's presence? Mh, it does not really make sense!
Prince's grinning and continues walking.
Prince: „There you go."
Kai follows him. The landscape changed from big rocks to smaller ones, covered with sands.

790: „In the moth there is a head, but no one seems to care. I'm in love with a man, who's dead, I want to ... suck his hair... no, soak his hair, touch his hair, cruise his hair?... Comb, comb his hair... yeah!"
Xev is approaching the moth and taking a look around the desert surrounding the city.
790: „Please, take me to Kai, do it now!"
Xev: „It is too hot, 790. You would melt."
790: „I am already melting, with loneliness. Uaaaaaaaah."
790 starts to crying again and Xev returns to the chamber.

Prince and Kai reach the top of a rocky hill! Prince is looking up to the sky.
Prince: „There they are, - and there they wait!"
Kai: „Who?"
Prince: „Those who made bad choices, when they were still alive."
In the sky there seems to be a hot yellow-red whirlpool, that seems to be sucking streams of whatever upwards.
Kai: „And what are they waiting for?"
Prince: „The next turn to suffering! There never used to be so many. But there are so many people making bad choices in so many places, that it is getting rather crowded down here. So they have to wait. - Of course, they are not conscious of the wait."
Kai is looking up and deeply thinking about what he is listening to.
Prince: „For them it is just an instance. They suffer and they die, and then they awake and their suffering goes on as if it has never stopped."
Kai: „And what will happen to Stanley Tweedle?"
Prince: „Stanley's punishment is level 9. He will pump the paddles there, until his arms and legs give up and he will loose his head. This he will do over and over."
Kai: „And for how long?"
Prince: „For the rest of time."
Prince suddenly has a magnify in his hand.
Kai: „And when time ends?"
Prince: „Then time will begin again and Stanley will return to me / you. - There."
Prince gives Kai the binocular and points to a certain place in the whirlpool. Kai hesitates for a few seconds to put up the binocular to his eye. He sees Stan, who looks pretty unhappy, and is more like a skeleton shape, waiting for his turn.
Kai: „I have come here to rescue Stanley."
Prince: „Go ahead, rescue him. Take him with you."
Kai is aiming and readying his brace arm. Then he is dropping his arm again after thinking for a few seconds.
Kai: „How can I do that?"
Prince: „You can't!"
Kai: „Can you?"
Prince: „No. - Stanley's fate is sealed. He will suffer here for all time and that is that."
Kai is stepping up on the same rock as Prince and returning his binocular glass.
Kai: „I must return to Xev."
Prince: „Not possible."
Kai: „Why not?"
Prince: „Because no one ever returns from here. This is in the end of their journey. Their last stop. Nothing comes after it and there is no way back."
Kai gets closer to Prince's face, almost threatening.
Kai: „And you can return."
Prince: „Of course, I am Prince! - I'm here with you and yet at the same time I'm up there with Xev. - But you will keep me company here, forever."
Prince seems to be pretty glad about that. And hugs Kai for a second. - Mh, is THIS Prince white, because he is just a 'copy'?
Prince: „Come."
Kai is not answering, that his proto blood will not last forever, so this is a pretty weird statement of Prince. He knows about Kai's proto blood supply, his only weak point, however, you might call it! So, does that mean, that at that place there is no such physical limitation for Kai anymore?
Prince is walking a few more steps and leaving the hill and Kai is following.
In the meanwhile Stan is still suffering and waiting for his turn. And his dead body is still frozen on the Lexx.
Xev is still in Prince's chamber and waiting. Then suddenly the black Prince appears next to her. She turns around. Did she hear something?
Xev: „Prince."
Prince: „Xev. - (He bows.) - Now that we are rid of the dead man we can finally resolve the problem."
Xev: „What problem?"
Prince: „The only one that matters. To me anyway. How to destroy Water."
Prince is ringing the bell and therefore calling his men to enter the room for his aid. And they come. Xev is looking behind her to the balcony and the moth. Can she reach it in time?
Prince: „I advise you to surrender. - The situation is distinctly in my favor. - Now, let me think."
Prince is circling the well and Xev tries to stay on the opposite side of it.
Prince: „Kai is gone and there is only one key to the Lexx! I wonder, who could have it?"
Xev is observing that two men guarding the door to the outside, at the opposite side of where the moth's waiting. But that exit is blocked by Prince himself.
Prince: „Oh, they are very good with knifes, you would never make it!"
Xev: „So what's the deal?"
Prince: „I will be king, you will be queen. Or perhaps you will be my slave, it is the same thing, really."
Prince is grinning.
Xev: „I am not a human being."
Prince: „And what are you?"
That is weird, at three different occasions Prince had the opportunity to see the non-human part of Xev. And yet, he is still not aware of that? I think, this is another hint, that this episode was not meant to be the very last of this season? But does that make sense? It is very confusing.
Xev: „I am half human and half cluster lizard."
Xev is approaching Prince now, only a few centimeters away from each other.
Prince: „Tell me more about this cluster lizard."
Xev: „They are a very nasty thing. It eats human flesh. It prefers the brain especially. It is a predator without feelings."
Well, even that is a lie, the baby cluster lizards at the episode 1.4 definitely had feelings for its mother, confusingly believed it Kai to be.
Prince: „Am I suppose to be afraid?"
Xev: „No, you are supposed to understand..."
Prince: „What?
Xev: „...why I'm happy, to accept your deal. Under the right conditions. You bring out something in me."
She is grabbing his throat very firmly! He is grinning.
Xev: „That doesn't always find proper expression."
Prince: „I think, there is a possibility that you will be a ... very ... good ... queen."
Xev:  „I will be a very good queen!"
She is almost kissing him.
Xev: „But not your slave."
She's turning on him and walking a few steps, concentrating and letting the key appear on her hand. Prince likes what he sees and tries to catch it. But of course Xev is not willing to share it with him.

Stan is still waiting for his turn to suffer.
Kai and Prince are reaching the edge of the hill, that cliffs falling down into a pit. There the white Prince stops.
Prince: „I can not release Stanley Tweedle, but I can move him to the head of the line. I do have some influence here."
Prince moves his arms and something is happening with Stanley. He sinks deeper.
Prince: „There."

Stan wakes up on a very hot place. He is in chains.
Stan: „Where am I? Ah! Who are you?"
Well, he is actually at the very same place where he was in the first episode of the season: paddling for the cooler air of the city. And losing his head if he fails paddling hard enough.
Stan: „Ouch, Jesss, take that away. -  No, it hurts!"
They are fixing him on the chair again. Binding him with leather stripes around his belly. And chains around his feet and hand angles. They are other helfers than in episode 1 of this season!
Stan: „I don't like this one bit!"
Now they are putting the blade devise on his head and show him how to paddle.
Stan: „We, what, ah, I am not liking this!"
They fix the sharp blade over his head. And then leaving Stan alone.
Stan: „Oh no, hey guys, hey guys, I don't want to do this! Let us talk about this. Come on."
Stan starts paddling.
Stan: „What have I done to deserve this? What have I done to deserve this? - Hey guys, come back!"

Kai is climbing behind Prince over a few steepy rocks.
Kai: „Where is Stanley Tweedle now?
Prince: „He is on level 9."
Kai: „Where?"
Prince: „In my city, it is reserved for the worst cases!"
Kai: „What is he doing there?"
Prince: „Suffering."

Stan: „Somebody, somewhere, I can't hold out much longer! I can't keep it up for ever."
Stan is fighting to keep up the heavy weight by pumping. If he stops, the blade will fall, that will cut his head off.
Stan: „Someone help me!"
Prince sits on a rock and looks to be pretty relaxed
Prince: „Listen."
Stan shouts desperate and it is clearly hearable in the desert.
Stan: „Someone help me!"
Kai: „I will try to help you, Stanley!"
Prince: „He can't hear you, and you can't help him! There is nothing you can do!"
Kai looks at least a little bit frustrated
And Stanley is still pumping for his 'life'.
Stan: „I've got to keep pumping. I've got to... I've got to keep pumping!"
It doesn't look well for him.
Stan: „Got, got to keep pumping."
Kai is watching the scenery and then looking to Prince, observing him.
Kai: „If I am a machine - and Stanley is at assessment to suffer forever... then, what are you?"
Prince: „I do not know."
Kai: „How is it, that you do not know?"
Prince: „Because no one has ever asked that question before, and so I never thought about the answer."
Kai: „Where do you come from?"
Prince: „I do not know that either! I do not know when time began. But I think, I have been here from the beginning. My existence is simple: I make sure that those, who made bad choices, suffer. Nothing more, at least until you came along."
Kai: „What do you want?"
Prince: „What do you mean?"
Kai: „I mean, what is it, that you want? You have tried to destroy both, Fire and Water. And yet you say you want to rule both of them."
Prince: „I want to destroy the planet Water. Everything else is just a game."
Kai: „Why do you want to destroy Water?"
Prince: „Because it is full of good, and I am full of bad. I think, that is all there is to it. I am not very complicated, really."
Kai: „Has our presence on these planets been a good thing ... or a bad thing?"
Prince: „Well, a good thing for me is a bad thing for others, of course. The truth is, I don't know. The issue is not yet resolved."
Kai: „But if you and I are to remain here forever and Stanley is to suffer for the rest of time... what can possibly happen now to resolve the issue?"
Prince: „Xev, - she holds the future of Fire and Water. - Without her everything will go on forever as before. We will defeat the people of the planet Water in every battle that we fought. ... And then we will fight among ourselves and we would undermine our victories. And we would never loose... and yet, we would never win."
Kai: „Where is Xev now? Do you know?"
Prince: „Yes, she has come over to me!"
Kai: „Are you certain?"
Prince (hesitates): „No!"

The black Prince is sniffling on Xev's shoulder. And then taking a few steps forward to his own men on the door. He is making one of them a sign to hand him over his knife.
Prince: „Kneel before me."
He returns to Xev.
Prince: „Strangle him!"
Xev: „Why?"
Prince: „Because I want to watch you do it. I want to see you eat his brain. I want to see you be my queen. - (to his men) - If she hesitates, kill her."
He returns to her and sniffles around her hair.
Prince: „I am waiting."
Xev is taking a closer look at her supposed to be victim. The kneeling man is afraid. And then she starts strangling him.
Prince: „Good, very good, Xev! Very good!"
But Xev is also fighting with herself.
Prince: „And you will be mine!"
But then Prince's man is resisting and pushing away Xev's hands.
Prince: „I am disappointed in you, Xev."
Man: „I am sorry, my Prince, I didn't want to die!"
But Prince is killing the man by his own knife. In this second Xev uses her cluster rolling ability to escape the room very fast and rolls to the waiting moth.
Prince is laughing, enjoying himself, when he is running behind her, his other men following.
Xev reaches the moth, kisses 790 and takes it off with a scream of triumph. But Prince is jumping behind her and gets the moth on one of its feet.
790: „Where is Kai?"
Xev: „Gone."
790: „We can't leave without him!"
Xev: „He is not there anymore, 790, he is somewhere inside of the planet."
Prince opens the door / windows at her side of the moth. Xev screams.
Prince: „How is it about a kiss, Xev?"
But then Xev is directing the moth into a turn and that throws Prince out.
But Prince is still attached to the moth by his knife cutting into one of its feet. Then Prince pulls himself to the underbelly of the moth and cuts into it.
790: „Oh, what was that?"
Xev jumps up, when Prince is cutting open the bottom of the moth and looking through the hole.
Xev: „Prince."
790: „Does he know where Kai is?"
Xev: „Yes."
790: „Can I talk to him then?
Prince: „I know you wouldn't kill and strangle him there."
Xev: „How?"
Prince: „You're just not my type! I can tell."
790: „Tell me, where Kai is!"
Prince: „Inside the planet Fire."
790: „Then we have to go there and get him!"
Prince: „You can't."
790: „Xev, go inside the planet and get him."
Xev: „I can't, 790, Kai is dead, that is why he could go inside the planet, I would burn in an instant, if I tried to go into it."
Prince: „She's right. He is stuck there forever, with me."
790: „Then blow up Fire, blow the planet up."
Prince: „Don't do that!"
Xev: „Why not?"
Prince: „You don't want to set up the balance."
Xev: „What balance?"
Prince: „Everything. You don't want to be responsible for that. Just give up, Xev. Then, when you will be dead, and when I have a minute or two then you will have a happy life forever and ever on the planet Water."
Xev: „Until you destroy it."
Prince: „Well, I never managed to do that so far, and I never will, unless you set up the balance."
790: „Don't listen to him, Xev. We have to save Kai, we have to blow up the planet. Kai will survive."
Prince: „So, Xev, is there a deal?"
Xev: „Yes!" 
Prince: „Good."
Xev: „But not with you!"
And she is kicking through the hole and Prince falls from the sky.
790: „We could be friends, you know. But only if you agree to give up on the dead man."
Xev: „That is not the deal, 790!"
Xev returns to the Lexx!

Stan is still pumping like hell. But his legs give out, he is very tired and the blade falls down.
Kai is watching from his position in the desert.
Prince: „Look, he is back already, he didn't last long at all. He will get another turn, and another, and another..."
Kai looks sharply and analyzing to Prince.
Kai: „I think, you enjoy your job."
Prince: „I am very good with pain."

Back on the bridge of the Lexx.
Xev: „How long, Lexx?"
Lexx: „One minute and 18 seconds."
790: „Don't think about it, Xev, just do it."
Xev: „I have to think about it."
790: „Kai is inside the planet and can't get out, what else do you need to know?"
Xev: „I think, the planet is an evil place but I still don't know. The stuff that Prince was saying about setting up the balance."
790: „If it's evil, destroy it."
Xev: „That makes sense, but something is holding me back. - How long, Lexx?"
Lexx: „40 seconds."
Xev: „There is something different about Fire and Water. It is not going to be like blowing up a normal planet."
790: „I know, what it is."
Xev: „What?"
790: „You are a woman."
Xev: „So?"
790: „So, I know, how you feel about things. - I know, you don't want to believe me, but I am a woman, too. Deep inside I feel the femininity, the softness, the need to nurture. I know, how difficult this is for you, but..."
Xev: „But what?"
790: „Kai comes first!"
Xev: „Oh."
Lexx: „I am now aimed at the planet."
Xev is climbing up the control blossom and activating the control key.
Xev: „I really have a bad feeling about this."
790: „Now, Xev, blow it up now. Put aside your feelings, only the dead man matters!"
Xev: „It's a whole planet."
790: „It's an evil place."
She is hesitating.
Xev: „I can't!"
She's climbing down the blossom and leaving it.
790: „You can."
Xev: „No, I can't!"
She is screaming her lizard cry.
790: „What was that?"
Xev: „The cluster lizard in me, my more aggressive part."
And she is climbing up the blossom again.
Xev: „Lexx! Blow up the planet Fire, blow it up now!"
Lexx: „As you command!"
The Lexx is firing his weapon, and the blow is approaching the planet, while Xev is watching in awe.
Xev: „What have I done, 790?"
790: „The right thing!"

Kai and Prince are watching the fire blow approaching them, filling up the sky with yellow heat. 
Prince: „What is that?"
Kai: „The end of your planet. - And of you!"
Prince: „I think, I should be sad, but I am not."
Then Prince and Kai are erased by the blow.

On the Lexx, the planet is blown into pieces and the debris are flying towards the Lexx.
790: „Good shot, Xev, this day's lesson is, to always ignore your feelings and listen to the robot head."
But there is something else approaching the big bug: countless shapes, millions and millions of them. Glowing in yellow and red, they are flying through the Lexx, surrounding Xev on the blossom, whirling around and then just disappear. Xev tries to avoid contact with them. Though, a few of them are haunting her. Surrounding her and trying to touch her.
Suddenly the familiar blond face appears on Lexx screen.
Prince: „Thank you, for releasing me!"
He disappears. The shapes are leaving the Lexx now and streaming / floating towards the sun.
790: „Quick, Xev, find Kai!"
Xev: „Lexx, you heard him, find Kai. You heard him, Lexx, find Kai! He's out there somewhere, let us see closer."
But Prince is appearing on the screen again.
Prince: „I have something to do first."
Xev: „What?"
Prince: „I have a planet to destroy!"
Xev: „No. NO! - Lexx, why don't you answer me?"
The Lexx is turning around and aiming at the Water planet. He is not reacting on Xev's commands at all!
Xev: „Lexx, what are you doing?"
Prince: „Not Lexx, Prince, and as I said, I have a planet to destroy, and then leaving..."
Xev: „Lexx, do not destroy the planet."
Prince: „Balance, balance, Xev, you upset it and I am resetting it! In my special way."
Xev: „Don't do it, Lexx, don't do it!"
Prince: „He is not listening, I am in charge now!"
Xev: „No!"
Prince: „Oh. And thank you, Xev, it has taken far too long, but this little conflict between Fire and Water is finally over!"
Xev is desperate, she can only watch, what is happening next!

And so Lexx blows up the water planet, which water is floating into the space, without any debris. And also a stream of countless shapes, the color blue, is approaching the Lex and passing it. A few shapes stay with Xev for a few seconds, one even looks like Bunny. But she also disappears with the rest of the shapes in the direction of the sun.
One of the shapes is flying in the direction of the tunnel towards the cryo chamber.
Xev: „Lexx?"
Lexx: „Yes, captain."
Xev: „Lexx, is that you?"
Lexx: „Yes, captain, it is me! - What planet would you like me to destroy?"
Xev: „None right now. - Do you know, what happened to Prince?
Lexx: „Who is Prince?"
Xev: „The one who was in control of you, the one that had you destroyed the planet Water!"
Lexx: „I don't remember anyone else in control of me. You are my captain."
Xev: „You don't remember the planet you just blew up?"
Well, usually, the Lexx is pretty stupid but he is remembering, that he did blow up something. So, this means, that the planets were not exactly real in a sense that we define real? The Lexx is behaving as if he just woke up!
Lexx: „There are no planets here."
Xev: „That's right."
Lexx: „And I am very hungry!"
Xev: „We know that. And Lexx, we think, that Kai, the man in black, is somewhere out there! Maybe you can help 790 search for him."
Lexx: „As you command, captain!"
790 is searching, scanning the space... and finds the waiting Kai in space!
790:  „Oh, JOY!"
He is sharing tears of joy.

Xev took one moth to get Kai, and is returning with him to the Lexx now. They are still in space.
Xev: „We didn't know, I mean, I wasn't sure, if you would survive when we blow up the planet."
Kai: „I did not survive, as I am already dead. But, I was not destroyed."
Xev: „And I am glad, that you were not destroyed!"
Xev is grinning brightly, and Kai returns it - just a little bit.

On the bridge, 790 is rolling over to Kai.
790: „Oh joy, to the man capable members squared!" (???)
But Kai is not stopping for him and just walking on to one of the side corners. Xev is following him and she's wearing a space suit, of course, she had to, because she was opening the moth's doors out in space to get Kai in.
790: „Where are you going?"
Kai: „To wake up Stanley."
790: „But he is dead!"

In the cryo chamber. They open Stanley's cryo pod.
Stan: „Oh, Kai, - Xev. Wow!"
Stan is really groggy, you can see that.
Stan: „I was having a terrible, terrible dream."
Xev is touching his shoulder.
Kai: „You were not dreaming."
Stan: „See, I thought, I thought I was..."
Kai: „What?"
Kai seems to be pretty curious.
Stan: „…Am, ... the first, I was falling with you... And then I was swimming... and then I.... I don't remember... now I am here... with my friends."
Kai is nodding slightly.
Xev: „Welcome back, Stanley! Welcome back to life with your friends."
Stan: „What do you mean, what happened to me?"
Xev: „You died!"
Stan: „I died, hah!"
He's not believing her and looking for support at Kai, but Kai keeps being quiet.
Xev: „Yes, Stanley Tweedle. You died and went down into Fire. And now you are back to life."
Stan: „Really?"
Kai is leaving them, but while walking away … is answering.
Kai: „Really!"
That somehow sounds envious! Yeah, it really does!
Stan: „Wow."

The Lexx starts to eat the chunks of the destroyed planets.
Back on the bridge.
Xev: „Lexx, are we moving?"
Lexx: „Yes, we are moving."
790: „But only very slowly."
Lexx: „I am still very hungry, if I eat, I will be able to go faster."
THAT is an answer of 790's comment!!!
Xev: „So can we make it to somewhere, or not?"
Kai: „Not. There appear to be no other life bearing planets in this system. And the next solar system is seven light years away."
790: „The Lexx will take a long time to make it that far, unless he finds more food to eat."
Stan is pretty depressed now by hearing that.
Stan: „Well, why aren't we just going to another planet in this system and the Lexx eats all he wants."
Kai: „It must contain organic matter."
790: „Which normally means, it must be a life bearing planet."
Stan: „Well, are you sure, there's none around here?"
Kai: „None visible."

The Lexx is approaching the sun and circling it.
Xev: „Look, what is that?"
On the other side of the sun there is a little blue spot on the sky.
Xev: „Lexx, can we have a closer look at the blue little star."
Lexx: „As you command, captain, but that star is a planet."
Kai is approaching the screen to take a closer look. And Lexx is also zooming in.
Xev: „Mh. It is half covered with water, so it should be a life bearing planet."
Stan: „How come, we haven't seen it before?"
Kai: „It is in the same orbit as Fire and Water, but opposite. It was not visible from where they were, and they were not visible from it."
Stan: „Interesting. So that means, that there must be a lot of organic material on that planet. So, Xev, tell the Lexx to go there... and choke it down!"
Xev is thinking about something, she is climbing down the blossom and going to Kai.
Xev: „Kai, all those shapes, those things that came out of Fire, you saw them, too, right?"
Kai: „Yes, I did."
Xev: „What where they?"
Kai: „I believe, they were the life essences of all those who died, and made bad choices. People, who were evil in life."
Xev: „Didn't they go around the sun to where the planet is?"
Kai: „Yes, they did."
Stan: „Ohhohoo. Well then, maybe we shouldn't going in there?"
Kai: „I don't see that you have any other choice to feed the Lexx."
790: „I don't care, where I go. As long as I am with my man."
790 is rolling over to Kai, crashing with his foot and love hearts are appearing on his eye screens. Kai seems to be annoyed.
Xev: „Well, here we go then. Lexx, head toward the planet and there you can eat all you want!"
Lexx: „Thank you, captain, thank you very much. I have a big appetite now and I will eat a lot."
Xev: „OK, little blue planet, here we come!"
The Lexx is approaching the planet now.

A familiar black shape is falling down on the little blue planet, towards one of the oceans, and repeating:
Prince: „Or pain or joy or pain or joy or pain or joy or pain or joy or pain or joy." 

End of season 3!
