Andromeda (2000) - 2x04 - Pitiless as the Sun

Visiting Inisi, Trance is asked to stay behind as a representative of the Commonwealth, while Dylan and the rest are asked to investigate mysterious attacks. A professor locks Trance up, and then begins to interrogate her on her background. It turns out that another purple-skinned male came to their planet and plunged it into civil war, and now they believe Trance is here to finish up the job. Trance plays it coy as usual and is then tortured, until she reveals that she is from a mysterious long-lived race that does such things out of boredom and a love of chaos. Meanwhile Dylan finds that the Pyrians are the race behind the attacks: a mysteriois powerful race that are trying to stop the Inisians from smuggling drugs. Dylan refuses to be a party to the operation, and turns the Inisian major over to the Pyrians.
