Episode Two.

INT. CARGO BAY GUEST SHIP – NIGHT

MAL, ZOE, and JAYNE are standing in the cargo bay of another ship that Serenity has docked. They are dealing with a man dressed similar to MAL (obviously a Browncoat).

The man gives MAL some papers and a bag of money. Behind MAL, ZOE, and JAYNE 2 men are carrying some crates into Serenity and placing them in the cargo bay.

MAL: Pleasure doin business with you Sam.

SAM: Mal you’ve become too polite, what’ll happen when the Browncoats decide we need to fight again?

MAL: We stopped fightin? (Both men chuckle)

SAM: It’s always a pleasure to do business with a (Chinese fellow) Broancoat Mal. Zoe (goes to hug her) you take care of yourself, and him (gesturing to Mal).

ZOE: You too Sam.

JAYNE and SAM shake hands and the three turn to head back on board Serenity. ZOE is last on and closes the hanger doors behind her. She turns back to see WASH standing on the railing above her.

WASH: Can we talk?

ZOE: (to others) I’ll be right back.

MAL: Zoe (throws her the coin and papers) new safe combinations what we discussed.

ZOE: Got it.

She then leaves up the stairs to follow a WASH the others can’t see. JAYNE is scowling a little but MAL doesn’t notice.

JAYNE: Want me to stash the loot? (He says this as though it’s all too predictable)

MAL: The loot yes, the food we keep. Have Kaylee help you move it to the kitchen.

MAL walks off in the direction of INARA’S shuttle, passing KAYLEE on the stairs.

KAYLEE: Simon was looking for you.

MAL: Infirmary?

KAYLEE: mm Hmm (to say yes)

MAL: Can you help Jayne get the food to the kitchen?

KAYLEE: (excited) Actual food?

MAL turns back grinning as though to say yes then continues up towards INARA’S shuttle.

KAYLEE CONT: Shiny.

KAYLEE bounces on down to JAYNE who is grumbling to himself.

JAYNE: ….just because my arms all nicely shaped and strong…what if I wanted to put the money away…..Zoe’s like a man…..

KAYNE: What are you groanin about?

JAYNE: Nothin. Help me wit
