Firefly: "See You, Space Cowboy"

Disclaimer: If I weren't just a poor college student and could finance the series myself, I would, but I can't. So all I can do is just play around in Joss Whedon's 'verse.

Episode nine of my second season of Firefly: While the crew take a sightseeing trip to the edge of the galaxy, they encounter none other than Saffron--who's on the run and with a substantial bounty on her head. Alone in no man's land, Mal must decide how to handle his unwanted wife and the bounty hunters coming to collect.

"I-I'm sorry she got away Mr. Haymer," stammered the station's captain. "She--she said she had a condition, and was showing signs of sickness... You must understand, we--we had to check it out."

"Yes, understandable," said Haymer in as restrained a voice as he could manage.

"We'll issue a warrant, but it would help if knew--"

"She's my wife," Haymer informed the police captain. "She's missing and she's mentally unstable, Captain. I want her back. She needs help. Contact Interpol and have them search through missing persons and theft reports for the last,
