- (ROBOT): All readings are 85% above safety. - She's going!

You've got to cut the Zeta-links!

Good man! Now the other one.

(ROBOT): All motive units closing down. All readings falling to safety.

Good... Now our troubles really begin.

- (ROBOT): Surface scanners inoperative. - We're sinking.

Rate of descent: two metres per second.

I like a man who stays calm, but this isn't the Titanic.

I don't understand the allusion.

If the motive units can be repaired, the mine can float itself.

I'll see what I can do.

- I'll give you a hand with the diatrodes. - (DASK): That won't be necessary.

You repair the remote controls.

There is little time. The pressure on the hull is increasing.

I'm sure Dask knows where to look for the damage.

- It's hot and the air smells different. - The refrigeration and filtering system is broken.

(SIGNAL) Pilot Toos?

S.V.7 here. Commander Uvanov is injured.

Chief Mover Poul instructs that he be restrained. Confirmation is required.

Confirmed. I want damage control teams in all sections,

and I want a full-scale mine integrity survey carried out at once. Clear?

- (S.V.7): Yes, Commander. - Let me see the...

- Why didn't you say something earlier? - Too much to do.

You've got nothing to do now, Toos. Look after her, Leela.

My tribe has a saying: ''If you're bleeding, look for a man with scars.''

Thank you very much.

Poul, why is Commander Uvanov under restraint?

Because he murdered Zilda.

- I think he killed the others, too. - (TOOS): No!

Ten years ago, Uvanov deliberately murdered one of his crew,

left him outside to die rather than lose a storm.

- I don't believe it. - (POUL): I saw the...

I was there. So was Kerril, and he's dead now, of course.

He would have been stripped of command.

(POUL): Uvanov gets results.

The company didn't want to lose their best pilot.

- (TOOS): You must be mistaken. - It's true!

A note on his confidential biograph and that was it. Case closed.

Until Zilda turned up, of course. I should have recognised her before!

- (POUL): The dead man was her brother. - It's getting hard to breathe.

- (ROBOT): Hull pressure now 500 atmospheres. - Listen!

That sounded like the hull. It could go any minute!

- Do you know what I think? - (DASK): Toos?

- Dask, what is it? - I've repaired the damaged motive units.

I'm starting up again now.

He's very clever. Hello, Toos. How's the arm? Did you do that?

(ROBOT): Damage to the life support plant is superficial.

(ROBOT): However, the feeder ducts are extensively damaged.

(ROBOT): The full system will not be restored for several hours.

I want you to stay with Poul. Don't let him out of your sight.

- He's lying, isn't he? - He's not telling the whole truth.

- Where will you be? - I'll go and talk to your dumb friend.

- D.84? - Yes.

(ROBOT): ..rendered inoperative by the impact. They have been placed in security storage.

- Security storage? - There's a legal code for robot disposal.

- Get out! - (ROBOT): Yes, Chief Mover Poul.

There are more rules about them than about people.

- With reason. Oh! - Does it hurt?

A bit. I think I'll lie down in my cabin for a while.

Good idea, get some rest.

Mm! This water has no taste.

The water on a sandminer never does.

Here, use one of those.

We've been out from base for eight months,

so the water on board has been through the filtration pump eight times.

- Why do you do it? - Do what?

- Live this strange life. - Money, Leela.

Everyone on board dreams of taking a miner full of Lucanol back home.

- Is that your dream? - It used to be.

- I haven't been on a trip for years. - Why not?

I prefer cities. I'd rather live with people than robots.

That's all.

No!

Irreparable.

- What are you doing? - My job.

Oh! Oh, no!

Please, no!

(ROBOT): This is S.V.7, Controller.

Equipment additional to manifest in forward compartment 19.

Stand by. Prepare to accept computer signal.

(ROBOT): Prepared to accept computer signal.

(ROBOT): Signal accepted. Secondary command channel open.

Here are your further orders, 7.

Acknowledge.

(ROBOT): Orders accep... cep... cep... cepted.

Orders accepted. I... I... I understand.

I understand.

Then go, brother. You are one of us now.

Professional interest or morbid curiosity, which?

There are three types of robots on board this mine:

Dumbs, Vocs, a Super Voc...

..and then there's you.

Would you care to explain that?

I see.

Well, then... Perhaps I should tell S.V.7 that you can talk.

(D.84): Please do not.

That's better.

- Well? - (D.84): I cannot explain.

Oh, but you can. You can.

(ROBOT): Priority Red, Priority Red.

(HOODED FIGURE): I have disconnected the command circuit, but you are not alone.

(ROBOT): Priority Red, Priority Red.

(ROBOT): Priority Red, Priority Red.

(HOODED FIGURE): Do not be distressed, my brother. I bring you freedom.

(ROBOT): Program violation.

(HOODED FIGURE): Freedom... power... death.

You're a robot detective. What does your computer mind make of this?

(D.84): Strength is indicated, but not beyond human capacity.

Typical robot, no imagination.

(D.84): I require... I require evidence.

(D.84): Your suspicions are not evidence,

nor are lunatic threats of a robot revolution.

The company took those threatening letters seriously.

Seriously enough to put you on board.

(D.84): A simple precaution.

(D.84): Those letters were signed by Taren Capel.

- Taren Capel... - (D.84): Before he disappeared.

(D.84): He was an important scientist.

Taren Capel... Scientist... In what field?

- Robotics! - (D.84): Correct.

And you're still looking for evidence?

(D.84): If I was to tell you the world would end tomorrow,

would you merely accept my word?

If I knew you had the power to, I'd listen.

- What does Taren Capel look like? - (D.84): There are no records.

(D.84): From childhood, he lived with only robots.

That's dim. Even for a Dumb, that's dim.

- You realise he's most certainly on board? - (D.84): No. I have checked extensively.

(D.84): There are only the crew... and you.

But you don't know what he looks like.

(D.84): But I know what they look like.

Before they came on board?

- (D.84): I had overlooked substitution. - (WHO): Yes, you had.

(D.84): I have failed.

Yes.

Oh, come on! Don't be upset.

Yes, you failed, but congratulations, failure is one of the basic freedoms.

Listen...

- Do you think that looks a likely place? - (D.84): Likely for what?

If Taren Capel is on board, he'd have a workshop.

We must find it before it's too late!

Would you like to come with me?

- (D.84): Yes, please. - (WHO): Good. Come on, then!

What is it? What do you want, S.V.7?

- (S.V.7): Commander Uvanov has gone. - Gone?

(S.V.7): His voice pattern was still in the command program.

- (S.V.7): The guard accepted his order for release. - Why didn't you erase his voice pattern?

(S.V.7): You gave no such instruction.

Well, do it now and find him. Any other good news?

- (S.V.7): Do you wish for a status report? - Yes.

(S.V.7): Repairs are on schedule within the margins indicated.

Alright, never mind. Any new developments?

(S.V.7): There have been some localised failures in the main power system,

resulting in door and light malfunctions.

(S.V.7): I have detailed circuit tracers to correct the faults.

Very good. You may go now, but keep me informed.

Oh, and find the girl Leela and bring her to me.

Tell her my arm hurts.

(S.V.7): The Commander is in pain. I will take her to the sickbay.

No, no, no! Just bring her to me!

- Well, do as I say. - (S.V.7): Yes, Commander.

Can anyone hear me? This door is stuck!

Help! Can anyone hear me?

(LEELA): This door is stuck! Help!

Aahh!

(D.84): I heard a cry.

That was me.

- (D.84): I heard a cry. - That was me!

- (D.84): I heard a cry. - That was me.

(D.84): I heard a cry.

(S.V.7): Our Controller has ordered the deaths of the remaining humans.

6, you will go now and kill Acting Commander Toos.

(ROBOT 2): I will kill Commander Toos.

- (S.V.7): The Doctor. - (ROBOT 3): I will kill the Doctor.

- (S.V.7): Leela. - (ROBOT 4): I will kill Leela.

(S.V.7): And I will kill the others.

I should have followed immediately like the Doctor said.

I shouldn't have waited.

(ROBOT): You cannot escape.

(ROBOT): You cannot escape.

(ROBOT): You cannot escape.

Now you're showing off!

(ROBOT): You cannot escape.

(ROBOT): You cannot escape.

(ROBOT): You cannot escape.

- Yes, this is the place. - (D.84): How do you know?

About this? Well, it's a reasonable assumption.

- (D.84): Why? - What?

Because modifying brains is not something you do in corridors!

- Do you know what that is? - (D.84): A Laserson probe.

(D.84): It can punch a fist-sized hole in six-inch armour plate,

or take the crystals from a snowflake one by one.

Yes, that's right. No handyman should be without one.

It's been used... Perhaps we are too late.

Somehow, we've got to warn the others.

(D.84): Doctor, this is a communicator.

It can function on either robot or human command circuits.

Would you like to use it? I cannot speak.

I'm sorry about that, D.84.

Toos? Pilot Toos?

- (WHO): Toos. - Who is it?

It's the Doctor. Listen, Toos.

I now know that it's the robots that are doing the killing.

That's impossible, robots can't kill.

They can if they're modified to it, and some have been.

Where are you?

I'm in my cabin.

- (WHO): Are you alone? - Yes.

Listen carefully, Toos. This is what I want you to do.

Get to the command deck.

Take Leela, Dask, Poul, everyone and get them to the command deck.

Get the robots out of there and secure the doors. Is that clear?

- No, it's impossible to... - (WHO): Just do it!

Alright.

Attend to your duties.

Ah!

(TOOS): Get away!

Please go away!

Get out!

Doctor, Doctor, Doctor!

Doctor!

- Doctor! - What is it, Toos?

Help me, please. It's outside.

- What's outside? - A robot. It wants to kill me.

(D.84): Please let me go. I am faster and stronger.

- Are you sure? - (D.84): I think so.

- Good. - (TOOS): Doctor, are you there? Please help!

- Help me, please! - (WHO): Help is on the way.

- It'd better hurry. - It is hurrying.

(ROBOT): The door is not a barrier, Commander Toos!

- (TOOS): What do you want? - (ROBOT): To kill you.

- (ROBOT): I must obey my orders. - Robots cannot harm humans.

(ROBOT): My command program has been restructured.

All humans are to die.

No! Please, no!

- Are you hurt? - (POUL): Please, go away!

They know I talk to you, they watch me all the time!

They hate me!

They did what I told them, but only because that gave them power.

Do you mean the robots?

Not robots... Walking dead!

They pretend that we control them, but really... but really...

- Poul, you can't stay here. - (POUL): No!

(POUL): They don't mind me being here. It's you they want!

- (LEELA): Poul, you need help. Come on, now. - No, please!

- Help, she's in here! Help! - Shh!

You can stay here, but don't make another sound, understand?

What are you doing here?

Why? Does it upset you?

The penalty for what you have done is death.

That's far enough. What are you doing here?

I followed you.

I'd come over here, if I were you. Slowly.

What?

Now, either it followed you or else it homed in on this.

It depends which of us is going to be killed first.

(WHO): It's you or me.

(ROBOT): Kill the Doctor, kill the Doctor.

(ROBOT): Kill...
