All language subtitles for S02E04 - One Moment Of Humanity

This is silly.
The party isn't until tomorrow night.

But it's fun. What do you think?

You look marvellous.

- I wonder...?
- What?

Well, your hair.

Instead of the curls, you once had it
kind of twisted around.

And I happen to know
that Tony liked it that way.

Tony?

Who cares what Tony thinks, anyway?

Alarm circuits going haywire.

- Compute to pinpoint fault.
- Section F - malfunction.

- Main electronics malfunctioning.
- Reset.

Negative.

Switch to emergency power.

- Negative.
- Try again.

Complete power loss.

A through G malfunction.

- Life support systems?
- Malfunctioning.

They will be all right.

Who are you?

Where do you come from?

I am Zamara, of the planet Vega.

Your small world has entered our
sphere of influence. You are...?

John Koenig, Commander of this base.

We're in your sphere of influence
by accident, with no hostile intent.

I accept your explanation.

Thank you.

Our life support systems are down.

We will take action if you...

Your systems are being held
in an electro force field.

It may also be programmed
to affect your nerve centres.

To immobilise us?

Yes, as you have just experienced.

- Our nervous systems are delicate.
- There will be no lasting effects.

And for the present,
I will permit you...

minimum life support power.

It will be necessary
for two of you to come to Vega.

- Why?
- Because it is required.

I told you, we mean you no harm.

- Then unlock our systems.
- Commander,

I've given you enough life support
for you to survive for 48 hours.

You have already wasted
precious minutes.

You expect us to stand by
while you drain our atmosphere?

You will not interfere
with our plans.

Don't interfere with us
and we will not interfere with you.

What guarantee do I have
of your good faith?

Anyone who comes with me will be
returned within the time limit.

You have the assurance
of the people of Vega.

And you have no choice.

All right. I'll go.

You said you wanted two of us.

I think a commander should stay with
his command, and you are unsuitable.

I choose you...

- and you.
- Now, just a minute...

You will travel to Vega
by positronic transfer.

All you have to do
is to freely wish it.

If you value the lives of your
friends on Alpha, you will do it.

You are holding back.

Keep concentrating.

Want it.

Desire it.

I want a line of communication
kept open at all times, as you said.

Communications...normal.

- You all right?
- You?

Yeah.

Did it startle you?

Yes.

Bring food for our guests.

I am Zarl.

May your stay on Vega
be one of pleasure.

Outside, the temperature
is always subzero,

and the atmosphere
almost too thin to survive.

Within the city,

you will find all that you desire.

This is Moonbase Alpha. Come in.

This is Alpha. Come in, Dr Russell.

- No answer, Commander.
- Keep trying.

They lied.
They're not letting us communicate.

If they'd lie about that,
they'd lie about...

Helena and Tony.

- We've got to get down to Vega.
- We can't do it without power.

Isn't it conceivable
that's it's a simple,

mechanical device that's
blocking our electronics?

Unlikely.

On the off-chance,
I'm organising a search.

This is Moonbase Alpha. Come in.
This is Alpha. Come in, Dr Russell.

Refresh yourselves.

Whatever happens,
do not react as they expect.

- Thank you.
- There is no need to thank a Number.

- They're androids?
- Automatons.

If you show aggression,
they will kill you.

Is the food to your liking?

It's very...unusual.

You are a liar. It sticks
in your throat, you decrepit hag.

Won't YOU try?

The food is delicious, Tony.

Delicious.

You foul-mouthed, lying cretin.

You are a guest.

Eat.

- Guest
- Yes. Do as you wish.

Eat the food, throw it in my face,
whatever you like.

Call yourself a man? Act the part.

- You cringing, gutless, spineless...
- Tony!

It's that
we're not used to hot food.

Cool it.

All right, this section seems clear.
Let's try Section 7.

We have heat loss, oxygen rundown.

- How long do we have?
- 42 hours.

- Could we rig up temporary heating?
- Any combustion would use oxygen.

- A chemical reaction producing heat?
- I'll work on it.

Good. Alan?

We've found nothing,
we've drawn a blank in every section.

The power packs in the Eagles.
Take a detail and get some.

Do you think
he'll get through to the Eagles?

Maybe. Maybe not.
We have to get power.

- Maybe magnetic attraction.
- Try anything.

These are your quarters.

Lovely. We'll be very,
very comfortable here.

I'll leave you to consider
your impoliteness.

And remember,
time is not on your side.

- Time for what?
- To do what we want you to.

- Which is?
- Never mind. You will do it.

Tony Verdeschi calling Moonbase
Alpha. Come in, Alpha. Alpha!

It's no use.
They won't let us get through.

No.

Be careful! That's what they want.

- What's going on?
- One of the Numbers warned me.

You believe robots?

I believe that one. He said that if
we show aggression, they'll kill us.

I don't know. We need some answers.
We've got to get out of here.

- We've got to find that Number.
- Right.

Hey, wait a minute.
Why did they let me keep a weapon?

- They want us to use it.
- Maybe they didn't find it.

They're far too intelligent for that.

Anyway, here goes.

Come on.

We're here as friends.

You have nothing...to fear.

The one who warned me -
the one who spoke - where is he?

Please, we need your help.

Maybe we could help each other.

- You're NOT androids.
- No.

THEY are the androids.

WE are the humans.

Long ago, we built the first robots,
linked to a powerful computer.

The computer
designed more advanced robots,

who, in turn,
built more sophisticated computers.

- A self-generating system.
- Yes.

The cycle continued until the robots
evolved to perfect humanoid form.

- They've got mechanical perfection.
- Yes.

Their emotions?

Human characteristics
they learnt from us by example.

Everything except love...and hate.

Why do you keep your faces covered?

If we are caught off guard,
we will not show emotion.

Why don't they rip them off?

They can't employ violence,
never having experienced or seen it.

They want to kill us, but they can't.

They don't possess the emotions
of anger and aggression.

That is what they want from you.

To teach them how to kill.

- Because we're a threat.
- How?

They fear human ingenuity.

As long as we live, there's a chance

that we might reach the Master
Computer and immobilise them.

Where is the Master Computer?

At the far end of Corridor 6,
guarded by an electronic barrier.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Remember, the Vegans will do anything
to make you show them violence.

If you do, they will kill us all.

Let's find out
about that force field.

You're wasting your time.

All the power of your moonbase
would not scratch it.

And your primitive toy
is useless against us.

You were not to leave your quarters.

We were worried about our friends.
We were trying to get back to them.

Please, release Alpha.

If you're so concerned about your
friends, why don't you go back?

You mean...you'd let us go?

All you have to do is wish it.

- You all right?
- Where is everybody?

I don't know.

Commander?

Weapons Section?
Petrov, why aren't you there?

Medical Centre?

Mathias?

John?

We're the only ones on Alpha.

- We can't be!
- We are. We're all alone.

Helena, the star chart.

That pulsating dot
is our present position.

And THAT was the position of Moonbase
Alpha when we left it to go to Vega.

We're now two light years from there,

and moving further away every second.

Two light years?

We'll never get back.

I thought you might like some coffee.

Yeah. Thank you.

Tony, I've been thinking.

The only place that John and
everybody could be is down on Vega.

Yes, I know. I've been
trying to figure out the same thing.

They must have
transferred everybody down there.

If we're ever going to see them
again, we've got to get back there.

- How?
- The same way we got there before.

- By wishing it.
- Oh, Helena...

Tony, try it.

Please.

Nothing. We can't do it without them.

John will find some way
to contact us. I know he will.

Yeah.

Yeah, sure he will.

Come on, have some coffee.
It'll help you relax.

Moonbase Alpha, status report.

Dr Helena Russell recording.

515 days after leaving Earth's orbit.

We don't know what has happened
to John Koenig, Alan Carter,

Maya, everybody.

Tony Verdeschi and I
are alone here on Alpha.

The loneliness is
beginning to have a terrible effect.

If I had taken the Dexodrol
that Tony put in my coffee,

I would be in deep sedation.

I'm forced to conclude that
he suffered some adverse effect

as we went through the time warp.

I have to consider him...

unstable, and potentially dangerous.

She cannot withstand the pressure.

Soon.

It will be soon.

Yes.

But it seems so cruel.

You're beginning to sound human,
Zarl.

Be careful. You know the dangers.

Helena?

'Helena?

'Helena?'

Tony.

I'm sorry. I didn't know you
were sleeping. Are you all right?

I'm all right. How are you?

Oh... Just a little jumpy.

Well, I'm sorry I disturbed you.

'Helena?

'Helena, answer me.

'Helena! Helena!'

Helena, we are losing our atmosphere.

Now, don't panic, Helena.

I mustn't run.

I've got to conserve oxygen.

Don't panic.

Helena...

They're getting frustrated,

frightened.

- We know these emotions.
- Yes.

And soon they will teach us
how to kill.

Tony, drop the gun.

- Please.
- Now, easy, Helena.

Don't come any closer.

I only want to help you.

Yes, of course you do.

So you put Dexodrol in my coffee.

Wait a minute.
You think I drugged your coffee?

That's why you sabotaged
the life support system?

Now, Tony, listen to me, please.

You're hallucinating.

I didn't sabotage our life support.

I'd be killing myself.
Why would I do that?

I don't know why.

Maybe...

loneliness...suspicion...fear?

No.

Helena, we're the only
two people on Alpha.

It must have been you.

If we are the only two people
on Alpha...

- If?
- ..you put Dexodrol in my coffee.

Well, now who's hallucinating?

We're not the only people here.

They think
they can make us hate each other.

They think they can make us hate
each other, even kill each other!

How about that?!

Bang, bang - you're dead

They don't know how much
we enjoy playing these games.

I love it!

The party's over, kids! Come on out!

- Come on, Zarl, Zamara!
- Come on out, wherever you are!

- Ooh...
- A-ha!

So you think it's a game, do you?

Oh, you mean it isn't?

You created this complete replica
of Alpha down to the finest detail...

and you lost.

This time.

Minus five degrees.
We can't take much more of this.

Can't you raise it?

The chemical
reaction is giving off maximum heat.

Can't get through to the Launch Pad.
There's no power in the Travel Tube.

I'll bet no Eagle will have power.

Is there any way
we can produce power?

The force field
is blocking ionic transfer.

Electrical current
simply cannot flow.

We've got to get to Vega.

Without our scanners,
we can't even find it.

Security report. There is an alien
form in the recreation area.

Zamara?

No, Commander.
I did not bring them with me.

- Where are they?
- Safe.

- Why have you come back?
- We needed additional material.

Why do you try these stupid games?

Zarl, myself, all the Vegans,
we are part of the completeness.

An indestructible chain.
You cannot touch us.

Shakespeare.

Julius Caesar.

Ah.

Murder.

"Friends, Romans, countrymen,
lend me your ears"?

- You have a retentive memory.
- I viewed the pages.

They murdered Julius Caesar. Why?

It was a political act.

Hmm...
Then we do not want Julius Caesar.

What do you want?

- Interesting.
- What is?

Othello.

So...jealousy
can also make humans kill.

I suppose so.

- And lovers feel so strongly?
- Yes, Zamara.

Helena and Tony, when...?

- That's all I want to know.
- What do you want to know?

That jealousy creates violence.

That lovers can be made to feel
violent enough to kill.

Zamara! Wait, wait!

It won't work,
not with Helena and Tony.

Won't work?

According to Shakespeare,
jealousy is a strong passion.

Only with lovers.
Tony doesn't love Helena.

- Who loves her?
- I do.

And the man?

Tony Verdeschi?

He's in love with Maya.

So...

Don't you miss him?

- Wouldn't you like to see them?
- Of course we would.

Then want it.

Desire it.

Wish it.

Concentrate.

John...

How are you?

What are we going to do?

You read the play Othello?

Through you. We all did.

This time...

we know the way.

- Androids. They'll try to use you.
- As Othello.

There is a way to beat them,
if we can get to the main computer.

It's protected by a force field.

Let the celebration begin.

Maya.

Soon you will make love
to the woman Helena.

It will enrage her lover
and we will have won.

- Through consuming jealousy.
- Yes.

It's all there - the scheming Iago,

twisting a man's love
into violent jealousy.

Enough to kill.

The way he looks at her. To feel
something as strongly as jealousy.

Can we be missing so much?

Emotion is a weakness.
We can use it,

but we must never become ensnared.

The play begins.

Chasted as an icicle

fashioned by the purest frost.

I will melt thee.

Make love to her.

I don't know how much longer
I can take this.

Hang on till Maya neutralises
that computer.

Kiss her.

The computer has a fail-safe device.

If the energy source is disturbed,
the whole planet explodes.

You have seen. You have been shown.

Zarl,

kill him!

There's got to be a way to stop them.

They're all linked, like a chain.
If we break one link...

Like Christmas tree lights.
If one went out...they all did.

Kill!

Kill!

Zarl, don't!
You're not like them any more.

Kill her. Kill her!

You CAN become human.

- Kill her!
- Zarl!

You've felt tenderness, compassion.

- Now feel love.
- Kill her!

Take that extra step.
Don't stay a machine. Become human!

KILL HER!

Please!

No...

No.

Zarl...

- Will your people be...?
- They'll be fine.

You were right.

I did feel...

something.

- I'm sorry, Zarl.
- No, don't be sorry.

It was worth it.

One...moment...

of humanity.
