INT. SLEEPER COMPARTMENT - LATER

Archer is looking at Maguinan, silent.

Kaythryn

"Hey, Captain."

He turns. She has woken, is woozy and quiet. Her arms are wrapped around the laptop

Archer

"Hey... Hey little Kaythryn, what's the news?"

Kaythryn

"I'm shiny, Captain. A-okay. And I can't feel much below my belly, though. It's gettin' cold."

Archer moves to get her another blanket, lays it on her -- all the while hiding his feelings at hearing that.

Archer

"Well, you just gotta rest. Something's gonna break down on this truck real soon. Who else I got to fix it?"

Kaythryn

"Well, don't you worry none. Geek fixed it up pretty. He's nice."

Archer

"Don't go working too hard on that crush, xiao...nee...nee. Geek won't be with us for long."

Kaythryn

"You're nice, too."

Archer

"No, I'm not. I'm a mean old man. I kick geeks. I park in handicapped spaces."

Kaythryn

"He wasn't gonna let it die. He was just trying to... It's nobody's fault. Okay? Just promise me you'll remember that?"

Archer

(takes her hand)

"I'll keep it in mind."

Kaythryn

"You are a nice man, Captain. You're always looking after us. You just gotta have faith in people."

He says nothing, just holds her hand.

Her eyes drift to Maguinan, still sleeping.

Kaythryn (cont'd)

"She is a real beauty, isn't she?"

She smiles... and her eyes gently close.

Her hand slips from Archer's.

INT. DEFENDER'S SUV - LATER

HFK is there, as Defender hands him a couple of books.

HFK

"Thank you."

Defender

"This is just a standard Defender legal reference. I'm not sure it'll help in this --"

HFK

"It won't hurt. Supplies down there are pretty rudimentary. Maybe we can use them for pillows."

Defender

"Is there anything else I can do?"

HFK

"I don't think so. But I appreciate it."

Defender

"Kaythryn's very dear. To all of us."

HFK

"I... I'm sorry. For my part in what happened. See... I've never... I mean, I don't know how to --"

Defender

"You're lost in the woods. We all are. Even
