The Serenity crew delivers the cargo they acquired in "Shindig". Then all hell breaks loose. Locals snatch Simon and River, and Book is wounded in a gunfight. In order to save Book, Mal has no choice but to take off and find medical facilities, since he can't be sure of finding Simon in time to save Book. On Inara’s suggestion, they go to an Alliance ship, whose commander only agrees to help after scanning Book’s identification, at which point the 'shepherd' gets fast, courteous, damned-suspicious service. Meanwhile, the locals have grabbed Simon because they are in desperate need of a doctor. However, the locals discover River’s abilities. They believe she is a witch and they want to burn her at stake. Original airdate: 11/08/02 Highlights
Quotes YOUNG RIVER: We're cut off... we need to resort to cannibalism. MAL: So, she's added cussing and hurling about of things to her repertoire. She really is a prodigy. RIVER: The human body can be drained of blood in 8.6 seconds given adequate vacuuming systems. JAYNE: 'Bout time you broke in them pretty shoes. MAL: You know... they walk just as fast if you lead 'em. ZOE: Next time we smuggle stock, let's make it something smaller. RIVER: They weren't cows inside. They were waiting to be, but they forgot. Now they see the sky and they remember what they are. SIMON: I'm very sorry if she tipped off anyone about your cunningly concealed herd of cows. BOOK: (after being shot) Afraid I might be needing a preacher. ZOE: Knew a man who had a hole clean through his whole shoulder, once. Used to keep a spare hankie in there. JAYNE (faux-reading Simon's journal): "Dear Diary, today I was pompous and my sister was crazy. Today we were kidnapped by hill folk never to be seen again. It was the best day ever." ZOE: You sanguine about the kind of reception we're apt to receive on an Alliance ship, Cap? JAYNE: This place gives me an uncomfortableness. RIVER: I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets. RIVER: You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. SIMON: It's been a big day, what with the abduction and all. SIMON: She has done nothing to you! If she dies tonight, it won't be God's will that kills her. It'll be you! Your lunacy, your ignorance! MAL: Appears we got here just in the nick of time. What does that make us? MAL: Gotta say, doctor, your talent for alienatin' folks is near miraculous. MAL: Cut her down. MAL: (To Simon) Chow's at 10. No need to dress. MAL: So then the Shepherd says to the Companion, "Well, a good goat would do that." Chinese Phrases
