Cleo's gonna be sorry
she passed on this one.
You know, she could
really use some color
on those pasty,
white legs of hers.
It's not the color she needs
as much as the vitamin D.
Poor thing doesn't get as much
surface exposure as she used to.
Well, speaking of exposure,
you will excuse me, won't you?
Is it party time already?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, you know what?
Everybody looks
better with a tan.
Hi, boys.
Don't screw with me, buddy.
You still owe me
for 20 kilojoules of shine.
Now pay up.
I'd love to, but I got a rule
about being ripped off.
What's your rule on having
your face ripped off?
Is that anything
we need to get into?
No, just your run-of-the-mill
testosterone flare-up.
Oh! What
You know, these guys
are starting to become
a real royal pain
in my thrusters.
That's it.
What do you say we teach
these guys some manners?
Or at least put them back
into their corners.
Guys, come on!
Let's just stop this
before somebody gets hurt.
Oh, come on!
Come on, guys, stop now
and nobody gets hurt.
The forecast isn't looking
so sunny anymore, is it?
Huh.
What do you say
we get out of here?
Yeah,
just get my shine specs.
What the
Hel
Tell me you ordered that.
Oh.
Very funny.
Okay.
Um, uh, can I have
your attention, everybody?
Did anybody lose, um,
a baby? Uh?
Anybody?
A what? What's that?
How about you, mister? Baby?
Not my problem.
Oh, I don't believe this.
Oh.
He must have belonged to
that guy that was escorted out.
Oh, Sarge,
I think we should keep him.
No.
No.
Five hundred years
into the future,
she will enter a world
where machines rule the Earth.
Mankind has been driven
underground.
And Cleopatra
is about to discover
there's no place like home.
"In the year 2525"
"There are women
with the will to survive"
"Fighting for
a brand new day"
"Nothing is gonna get
in their way"
"And in the year 2525"
"Three women
keep hope alive"
"Joining forces
to reclaim the Earth"
"Looking ahead
to humankind's rebirth"
CLEOPATRA 2525 2x02 "BABY BOOM"
It's our lucky day, friends.
At last, a Betrayer head!
Hurry up and download it.
Let's see what
this baby's made of.
Come on.
Get Sluggo.
He's gonna want to see this.
Mauser, do I look fat?
Cleo, I'm not programmed
for weight estimation.
Do you hear that?
Mauser, can you whip me up
a new set of eardrums, please?
Is that what I think it is?
Mmm-hmm.
A baby, how cute.
Oh!
May I?
Do you have experience
with infants?
Who needs experience?
We're wired to
take care of babies.
It's called maternal instinct.
Mmm.
Boy or girl?
I don't know.
We found it
at the tanning saloon.
Daddy bought a one-way ticket
to the bottom of the shaft.
What's wrong with you?
Show some humanity.
Mauser, can you post a hologram of
the baby on all the underground boards?
We'll take care of it until
we can find a proper guardian.
What?
Oh, we could
Oh! It's a boy.
Hi.
Someday you'll be showing
that off every chance you get.
Now go to your Uncle Mauser.
Hel, the lab is no place
for a child.
Voice, I couldn't very well
leave it with the man
that threw his father
down the shaft.
His presence may interfere
with operations.
I'm sure we could spare a day
to find any living relatives.
Hel, you know nothing
about taking care of a child.
I have maternal instincts.
Besides, Cleo's still alive,
isn't she?
Could someone please
shut that thing up!
Hold on to your thong.
I may know
just the thing that'll hush him up.
Something that my mom
used to sing to me.
Let's hear it.
"Rock-a-bye, baby"
"On the treetop"
"When the wind blows"
"The cradle will rock"
"When the bough"
Oh!
"bough breaks"
"The cradle will fall"
How is that helping?
Shh.
"And down will come
the little boy sweetie pie"
"Cradle and all"
Incredible.
But we're running out of time.
If we don't get our hands
on that baby soon,
it will be worthless.
He was picked up
by a Voice team,
all female.
I'll bet it's one of those
girlies that gave me this!
Get everybody together.
Now!
Yes, sir.
I gotta go with Voice
on this one.
It's not our duty
to pick up strays.
He's a baby,
not an alley cat.
It's not about duty, Sarge.
If we don't aid in the
survival of our own kind,
we'll just suffer the consequences
at the hands of the Bailies.
Wait a minute.
Something's not right here.
It's been quiet
a whole 20 minutes.
Oh.
See, Sarge, babies aren't
so bad, are they?
Have you ever heard
the expression
that good things
come in small packages?
Yeah, well,
not all good things.
You know, I've got to admit,
he's awfully cute
when he's asleep.
Do I hear somebody's
biological clock ticking?
Clock?
Actually,
I hear something, too.
Oh, my God! Where'd he go?
Oh, man.
Baby?
Where'd he go? Sweetie?
There he is.
Oh, he's got
Sarge's gauntlet.
Sarge, how could you leave
something like that laying around?
Oh, I'm sorry.
It didn't quite occur to me to
baby-proof the weapons closet.
Oh.
Honey
Oh.
You give that nasty gauntlet
to Auntie Cleo, okay?
Come on, baby.
Hel, what's going on?
No problem, Voice.
Everything's under control.
Easy, boy.
Give me that.
Hel, the child's guardians
have responded.
You're to meet them at the
tanning saloon as soon as possible.
What are we waiting for?
Let's go.
Oh
Incoming,
and it doesn't look good.
Oh.
You found it!
Come home to Mama, precious.
How can we ever repay you
for returning him to us?
You can start by showing us
your guardian tags.
Guardian tags?
We, uh, we forgot 'em.
All right, charade's over.
What do you want with this baby?
Stay down!
They're Gandarans.
Who?
Gandarans,
deep-level dwellers.
I mean, deep and dark,
that's why they're so pale.
They can't take
heat or light.
Sarge, what do you say
we make them sweat?
Sounds good.
You stay here.
Uhh!
Oh!
You're really hot
for me, aren't you?
Start talking or we bring you
to a full boil.
No, you don't understand.
We're all in danger as long
as that kid's breathing.
What do you have
against this baby?
It's not just a baby.
It's a Bailey bomb.
You're telling me
this baby's a bomb?
And he's going to explode?
We found a Betrayer head
in the shaft this morning.
It contained information
about this baby.
Team, I did a routine scan
on the infant's hologram.
I discovered something
you should know.
The baby's a bomb?
Precisely.
How did you know?
Hel, that fight
at the tanning saloon earlier
must have been
a Betrayer setup.
Right, they were counting on our
maternal instincts to do us in.
The child's been injected
with a synthetic gene mutation.
The gene is replicating cells
with a high-energy enzyme.
Once they are outnumbered,
there is a chain reaction.
Talk about a baby boom.
Something tells me our friendly
neighborhood bartender was in on this
and what a coincidence,
he's nowhere to be found.
So what exactly do you want
with an exploding infant?
To deactivate him
and take him back to Sluggo.
A Bailey-designed explosive will be
worth a fortune on the black market.
Sluggo, huh?
How do we deactivate him?
The only way to stop the cells
from replicating
Kill him.
Can't we get
a second opinion?
At this rate
of cellular growth,
you have approximately
eight minutes.
Oh, um
You know, m-my arms
are getting a little tired.
Hand him over.
Hel, bring the child
to the surface
to avoid any damage
to the underground.
I'm not gonna stand by
and let this happen.
It's out of your hands, Hel.
No, Voice.
I think we have things
well in hand.
Got a plan?
Mmm-hmm.
Sluggo got his information
from a Betrayer head.
I'm sure that same head has
details on how to save this baby.
Well, looks like there's only
one way to do this.
So, gorgeous,
we need directions.
I should lobotomize you.
Do you have any idea
what we can gain
from the Bailey technology
inside that kid?
I want that bomb!
Looks like we're coming up
on the Gandaran Quadrant.
Looks like the Gandaran
Quadrant's coming up on us.
Cleo, catch!
Oh!
Hel, Sarge!
Sarge, bouncing baby boy
coming your way!
Got him.
Roughly three minutes
remaining.
Two more levels.
Hang in there, kiddo.
Back off!
Baby?
The kid's still alive!
Let's get out of here!
Sluggo, you've really
let yourself go.
I'm twice the man
I used to be.
Why don't you just
give me the kid?
I'll make it worth your while.
Besides, you'll never
save it in time.
I'm not so sure about that.
Mauser, I found the malignant
cells.
Now what?
Locate the original
gene sequence.
You'll know it
when you see it.
Oh, he's burning up.
That's my cue!
Have a blast, girlies!
Sluggo.
A little something
to remember me by.
I will get even with you,
blondie! Just wait!
How much time do we have?
One minute.
Hel, get the team
out of there.
I'm not going anywhere, but Sarge
and Cleo can leave if they want to.
No way.
Please.
Mauser, I found
the original cell.
Great.
You just had to be heroes.
That's what we do.
Transfer the cells
to the surgical template
of the healing tube.
Come on.
Cleo, load the baby!
Where?
Over there.
Huh?
Okay, let's do this.
Twenty seconds.
Bye, sweetie.
It's working.
Ten seconds.
It's not working fast enough.
That's it, big boy.
Keep backing up.
Five, four,
three, two,
one.
Hel, what's your status?
Oh, sweetie.
Repeat.
Hel,
what is your status?
Sarge
We're fine.
All four of us are just fine.
Yay! Yay!
Let's get out of here.
This way.
Wow.
Looks like junior here
scared off everybody.
There's not a sign
of life for miles.
You know, I have to say,
I'm really proud of the two of you for
sticking in there through all of this.
Well, I'm proud of you, too.
Oh?
Yeah.
You're all tough warriors
on the outside,
but you make pretty
kick-butt mommies, too.
But we won't argue
with you there.
Like we'd let anything happen
to this little goober.
Oh!
Excuse me, ladies,
there is someone
who is desperately awaiting
your return:
the baby's real parents.
Well, you tell them that their
little man is doing great,
and we're gonna get him
back to them real soon.
Yeah.
Are you ready to go
for a ride?
Oh, yeah.
