As Kai and Stanley descend rapidly, Kai informs Stan that he cannot save him. With a terrifying leap towards the ocean. Stan screams as he descends down.
Stanley: Kai, you gotta save me!
Kai: I'm sorry Stan, but I cannot.
Replied Kai dispassionately. Confused and scared Stan shouts back.
Stanley: What do you mean, you can't?
Kai: I do not float.
Stanley: I don’t wanna die!
Xev manages to wrestle back control of the Moth and quickly heads for the water to try and rescue the two doomed guys. Stan and Kai hit the water at great speed. Kai sinks like a brick and Stan surfaces after a few moments.
Stanley: I made it! I can't believe I made it.
That’s when Stan looks around to see if he could see Kai and calls out for him.
Stanley: Kai, Kai? Can you hear me?
He calls out, but gets no answer. But Kai is sinking. Xev continues to look for them on the surface, but without knowing where they are, she is as lost as they. To make things worse, Stan is trying to keep himself afloat and happens to spot the little moth in the distance and shouts over and over.
Stanley: Over here!
Stan shouts over and over, but Xev doesn’t hear him and flies off in the wrong direction. It's looking bad for Stanley, cause he has no idea on how long he can stay afloat. Eventually, Xev is forced to head back to the Lexx empty handed. In this case however, Xev, is unable to find him. She returns to the Lexx only to be confronted by 790.
790: Where's 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. This doesn’t make sense.
Xev: Kai, Stan and I were crossing over to Water, with a few balloons from Girltown.
Xev replies. That’s when 790 thinks of something that he recently happened.
790: I saw Lexx eat some things. They were just there and he ate them.
790 says sadly.
Xev: We were there too and the Lexx almost ate us. Kai and Stan were knocked out of the moth. I think they fell down to Water.
That’s when Xev uses her newly acquired key to ask the Lexx what happened.
Xev: Lexx?
Lexx: Yes, captain?
790: How are you the captain?
Xev: Stan transfered the key when he fell out of the moth. The key just left him on it’s own. Xev goes back to asking questions to the Lexx.
Xev: Lexx, why did you eat the balloons?
Lexx: I was very hungry. They were delicious. But, they were only just a snack. I am still very hungry.
Replies the LEXX rather obviously.
Xev: Can you fly now?
Adds Xev. The Lexx replies back.
Lexx: I think I can, but not very far.
Xev changes the subject.
Xev: Do you know what happened to Kai?
Lexx: Who is Kai?
That’s odd. As being a member of the crew, the Lexx should know who Kai is by now.
Xev: The dead man in black. We were there, with the balloons, and you almost ate us.
Lexx: They were very tasty and I am still hungry.
790: You have to go back down. You have to find Kai. You have to do something.
Xev: I know, but what?
Xev says as she sits down on the pedestal, pondering her thoughts.
Hours later, Kai is still sinking deeper and Stanley is still floating on the surface. Unfortunately he is becoming weaker and the effort of keeping his head above water is too much, he passes out. His head sinks slowly below the surface and drowns. Xev resumes the search next day, this time with 790.
790: I estimate that we’ll entirely cover the planet’s surface in 142 days.
Xev: That won’t do Stan much good.
The robot head explains why they wont find Kai.
790: He's a dead assassin! That means he's been decarbonized! That means he won't float and I don't want to think about what that means!
Xev: We have to keep trying, 790!
Xev replies urgently.
Xev and 790 eventually find Stanley, the dead one, floating face down in the water.
Xev: What's that?
790: Nothing important. Just a dead body.
Xev: Nothing important?
790: It's a dead body. But not my dead body.
Xev sees the body and manages to pull Stanley into the moth.
Xev: Oh Stanley. Poor, poor Stanley.
She says sadly. Kai, meanwhile, is still sinking. For the last few hours there hasn’t been much to look at but now he notices a light below him. It’s very bright, rather like a light at the end of a tunnel. Xev manages to carry Stanley onto the Lexx and into the cryo-chamber room where she tries to revive him using the protein regeneration unit. 790 explains hatefully, that her efforts are a waste of time since Stan is dead.
790: You’re wasting your time.
Xev: Maybe. Got any other suggestions?
790: Yes, forget about the dead carcus and start looking for my dead man.
Xev: 790, if you want me to help you, you start by helping me, with Stan, first.
790: The protein regenerator repairs damaged flesh. It does not bring the dead back to life.
Xev: Stan is damaged flesh.
790: Stan is destroyed flesh, cause he is dead.
Xev: Well, we have to try. So, are you gonna help me or not?
The metal git suggests that her time be spent more productively looking for the dead guy. As Kai descends towards the brightness, he passes through lots of floating people. I guess they are all in a sort of limbo waiting to be re-constituted on their respective planets. Each are surrounded by a light of their own, it seems to be sustaining them. I think they are alive, in that they have a sort of consciousness, but they are unable to swim around, a bit scary really.
On the Lexx, Xev manages to get a response from the electric stimuli of the Protein Regeneration Unit, but Stanley still isn’t alive. Confused Xev asks 790...
Xev: But we've repaired all of the damage on his body! Why isn't he alive?
790: He is not alive because he is a rotting sack of flesh! I told you this would not work.
Says 790 impatiently.
790: We are wasting precious time, that could be used to rejoin 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!
Xev lashes out. Her emotional state appears to be nothing more than part of the hormonal pregnancy package.
790: Yes, he does!
Xev: The dead don't love!
790: Why do you hate me?
Xev: I don’t hate you. It’s these pregnancy hormones that’s got me all emotional and stuff, so I’m not myself sometimes.
790: Do I really want to know who’s child you’re carrying? I hope it’s not Stan’s.
Xev: Would you believe me, if I tell you, that my unborn child belongs to the ruler of Fire?
790: Well, he does sound better than Stan.
Xev: I suppose so.
Xev sighs and decides to freezer Stan’s body and go look for Kai. Maybe the dead man will know what to do. Kai however, continues to sink. Xev and 790 take a Moth and head back to the Water Planet to look for Kai. They take a large weight and a bag of rope. 790 guides them to the exact place where Kai landed and they throw the rope over the side. Xev and 790 have a conversation about Kai while the rope sinks.
790: I can’t help, but think, that you’re doing this in the efforts to still my man away.
Xev: I am not trying to steal your man.
790: You're not?
Xev: No. I'm just fishing for him. Like you. And who knows that either one of us might catch this fish.
790: So I have a chance?
Xev: Yes 790, you have a chance. Not much of 'em, but a tiny little robot-head-in-love chance to make his dead man's dreams come true.
790: I'm. So. Happy!
They hope to supply a lifeline to a stranded Kai at the bottom of the ocean. Unfortunately the rope is not long enough. Kai however seems to have passed through the limbo people and he disintegrates as he nears the point of light below him. Then he ends up waking up on a bed in Gametown.
Not unexpectedly, Xev and 790 just so happen to be flying around, in a moth, nearby. Kai whistles to get their attention.
790: I just heard him!
Xev: Who?
790: Who else, but the greatest man who ever died!
Xev: Really? Where?
Happy Xev and 790 fly over to Gametown to pick him up. Xev is surely happy to see Kai, cause her face lights up.
