All language subtitles for Blake s 7 - 2x04 - Horizon.en

Thank you.
Tell me the bad news first.

Your headaches are from the same source as Vila's
stomach cramps and Avon's back pains: over-stress.

Rubbish.
I'm all right.

No, you're not.
None of us are.

We're all in an early stage of fatigue shock.
Too many crises.

Too many calls on our physical and mental reserves.
All of us are dangerously exhausted.

We're also a long way out and still running.
Why?.

We lost those patrol ships ages ago.

We lost everything ages ago.
Nothing comes this far out.

So we're free for the time being anyway.

This is freedom?.
I'm going blind staring at these detectors.

Why are we here, Blake?.

We need rest soon.

Absolutely right. What I wouldn't give for a week
at one of the old Federation Rest Centres.

Sensory ecstasy hours, pleasure machines...

You have to accept these findings.

I accept them.

But where are WE going to find a centre that will
take US in for a month's rest and rehabilitation?.

Well, that shouldn't be a problem.

What's the point of being famous
if you can't get a last minute booking?.

Information:
Manual detectors are showing

Federation freighter on collision course.

Vila!

- Repeat: Federation freighter on collision course.
- He's right.

Zen, how far away?.

Five hundred spacials.

- Course and speed for avoidance?.
- Standard by one-half.

Vector one one Zero.

Jenna.

- Standard by one-half. Vector one one zero.
-Estimated nearest on that course, Zen.

One hundred and fifty spacials.

Will the freighter have us on his detectors?.

Negative.
Freighter is operating minimum scan.

What's a freighter doing this far out?.

He's in Zone Eight already.
Where the hell is he going?.

Zen, plot of the freighter's course?.

Freighter's course is 1 04 grid.

That'll take him into Zone Nine!

So we are free of the Federation.

Persistent, aren't they?.

Let's just get out of his way.

It was you that asked the question,
"Where are they going??"

We're hiding, already on the edge of the spiral rim.
He's going further out.

Zen, give us a course and speed where we can
observe out of range of the freighter's detectors.

- I'm sorry I mentioned it.
- Aren't we all?.

The freighter's present course will take it into
Zone Nine in four hours at present speed.

Where in Zone Nine?.

The freighter is on course for the only
habitable planet in Zone Nine.

Which is?.

Code-named HoriZon.

"Horizon"?.

Code-named by whom?.

Data was obtained via Federation cipher.

Data also suggests that it is visited annually
by a Federation supply freighter.

Carrying what?.

There is no information.

- What are the surface conditions on Horizon?.
- Negative information.

Population?.
- Negative information.

- Is there ANY information on Horizon?.
- Negative.

- Is the information on Horizon classified?.
- Negative information.

- Well, that was a whole load of nothing.
- Course, please.

- Maintain present course.
- If you insist.

You're not going to follow the freighter
all the way to Horizon?.

Why not?.
I'm curious.

Oh, you are curious.
Well, I'm glad we have a worthwhile purpose.

Doesn't it interest you a little?.

No. There's nothing out there.
We are on the edge.

Even Zen has nothing on it.
That could mean anything.

An experimental war zone, anything.

That freighter's gone to
Horizon for some good reason.

Which is more than you can say for us.

- How is the lesson?.
- Difficult.

Well, Orac isn't exactly the ideal teacher.

I'm not exactly the ideal pupil.

That is because you are too easily distracted.

Planet visual is now available.

- Still holding course, Standard by Two.
- Freighter's speed?.

Time Distort Six.

- Freighter's planetfall?.
- Twenty-three minutes at present speed.

- Any course correction?.
- No, hold course as plotted.

Holding course as plotted. Blake, I'm tired.
Can I go on automatics?.

No.
Who knows what we might run into?.

What's that?.

Whatever it is the freighter has
sailed right through it.

It doesn't mean we will.
Pull back. Blake!

The force wall is activated.
Zen, have you any information on Horizon's defences?.

- Negative.
- There's a surprise...

[CLATTERING]

Orac, what's going on?.

The Liberator is being attacked.

The force wall has been activated.
We are quite safe, for the moment.

Glad you think so...

- What is it?.
- Judgment Day.

It's a magnetic barrier.
Get out now.

I told you it could be an
experimental war zone.

Ohh, I think I've got the bends.
I have, I definitely have.

- Zen, check systems status.
- Confirmed.

The magnetic barrier must
have triggered automatically.

The freighter was impervious to it,
its fuselage must've been demagnetised.

Ours hasn't.
If it hadn't been for the force wall,

we would be a cloud of agitated atoms.

I wish I was a cloud of agitated atoms!

Stabiliser shot.
Now keep still.

What was that?.

One-third adrenalin, two-thirds soma.

Soma, eh?.
I think I'll bottle it, make myself a fortune.

He'll be sleepy now for about half an hour.

That will be nice.

All systems intact.

Energy loss from force wall 0. 1 7.

[COMMUNICATOR CHIME]

- Jenna.
- Do you need any help?.

How are you feeling?.

- Fine but...
- Stand by, I might need you.

[DATA TRANSFER CHIME]

Zen, was that permission to land?.

Affirmative.

It's all negative, the whole thing.

Jenna, stay on manual.
Speed Standard by half.

Right.
Are you going down?.

Not yet.
Zen, what's the freighter's position?.

Freighter approaching landing site on HoriZon.

Scanner grid reference 1 1 4.

He's landing.
Now we can be off, right?.

Jenna, stationary orbit.
Then switch to automatics.

Wrong.
Zen, plot us a standby course out of here.

You DO want a standby course out, don't you?.

Yes, of course I do.
Thank you, Avon.

Standby course being prepared.

- Read out.
- Confirmed.

Cally, what's the medical situation?.

I've told you:
we're all over-stressed.

We've been in space flight
and space crises a long time.

What about the old adrenalin and soma?.

That's the trouble.
We're practically living on it.

What we need are some natural relaxants,
non-stress situations for a start.

You know, we still have nervous systems.

I wonder what Horizon's like.
It might be just what we need.

You're not going down there?.

Yes, I think I will.
Jenna, I want you to come with me.

Right.
Gan, take over, will you?.

- But I could come.
- No.

Zen, take us to teleport range,

two miles from the landing
field at grid reference 1 02.

What are the surface conditions?.

Detectors indicate that surface conditions
are tolerable, breathable atmosphere.

[COMMUNICATOR CHIME]

Teleport range is confirmed.

All right Gan.
Anything on the detectors?.

Not a thing.

We're all alone up here.

Make sure we stay that way.

I'll try not to drop off.

Well, that's all right, assuming they haven't
got a fix on us from the ground by now.

No, it'd be raining plasma bolts if they had.

Why exactly are we going down?.

The Resistance needs a base, Jenna.
Thank you.

Somewhere to operate from.

And this could be it?.

It's as good as any other.

We know the Federation
only visit it once a year.

It's on the edge of the spiral rim.
Oh, hell, I'm tired of running, Jenna.

We must get at least one planet behind us.

And why are you taking me with you?.

I trust you to back me.

Thanks.

But there's more to it than that.
You were very deliberate.

Covering the angles.

How do you mean?.

Avon might run.

But not without a first-class pilot.
He plays the percentages.

Unlike you.

I am ready if you are.

Put us down.

Down and safe.
Can't see anyone around.

Out.
Come on.

[LOW HUM]

...right when she says we're out of condition.

What?.

I said
"Cally's right when she says we're out of condition. '"

Guard.
Strangers in Theta Section. Take them.

Yes, sir. Theta Section, quickly.

Careful.

- What are they doing?.
- Mining, I suppose.

Liberator, there seem to be some sort of mines here.

Federation guards everywhere.
We'll keep in touch.

What are those things on their wrists?.

Some sort of communicator, sir.

Bring them both to the palace.
Remove the communicators first.

Yes, sir.

What's happening?.

Nothing.
They should've called in again by now.

Maybe they found a Rest
and Rehabilitation Centre

and they're lying there,
soaking up the sunrays.

You're fit again, I see.

Oh, I never felt better.

I'd be happier if this vitamin
solution had a slug of soma in it.

Any chance, Cally?.

What?.

A slug of soma, from the medical supplies?.

I think they're in trouble.

- You just think so?.
- I feel it.

Wonderful.

We have all the resources of
Zen, Orac, the Liberator,

and you FEEL that they are in trouble.

You do not FEEL it, you REASON it.

They have not called in;
therefore they must be in trouble.

You don't have to be telepathic to know that.

Oh, come on, Avon, give the girl a chance.

I'd say she knows a few things
that even you don't understand.

Well, I'd say so, anyway.

A fifth-grade ignorant,
and you would say so, would you?.

Well, I never had a chance, did I?.
I chose the wrong parents.

- I'm going down.
- You can't do that, Cally.

They are in trouble.
Someone must go down.

- I'll go.
- Gan'll go.

And Vila will go with me, won't you Vila?.

Will I?.

It'd be stupid to go on my own.

And you wouldn't want to send
Cally in your place, would you?.

Probably not. What about you?.

- What about me?.
- Why don't you go?.

- YOU are expendable.
- And you're not?.

No, I am not. I am not expendable,
I'm not stupid, and I'm not going.

I'll get the guns.

Ohh..

Who are you?.

Who are YOU?.

Why have you come here?.

I don't remember being given a choice.
Who are you?.

I'm Ro. I rule this planet.

Do you?.
I thought it was a Federation colony.

I dislike the word "colony".

Which word would you prefer?.

I rule here, and you're my prisoners.

I dislike the word "prisoner".

- Oh...
- Are you all right?.

Blake.

Your name is Blake.
How did you get here?.

How did you get through the barrier?.

I'll ask you again.
Is this a Federation colony?.

I am my own man.
I'll have you killed unless you answer my questions.

You sound like a Federation man.

- Are you against the Federation?.
- What do you think?.

I think you are, yes.

Does the Federation frighten you?.

Of course not.

Then you must be part of it.

You're Resisters.
You are, aren't you?.

No one resists the Federation.

- I don't want to hurt you.
- You already have.

Others may do more.

You'd be wise to tell me.
Be sensible.

What others?.
The ones that came on the Federation freighter?.

What do you know about them?.

I've been stuck in this pesthole for two years.

Two somewhat unproductive years.

Not my fault.

You are the Colonial Service representative.

Ro is not easy to deal with.

When he was a pupil at the C.E.C.
I found him quite malleable.

Yes?. I think you may find
he's changed a bit since then.

He's not exactly a pupil now.
And you're no longer a teacher.

I think you'll find my relationship
with Ro is unchanged.

To him I shall always
be a respected tutor;

just as to you I shall always
be a respected superior.

Kommissar.

Ro.
It has been too long.

An unlooked-for pleasure.
I welcome your return to my planet.

I would've come sooner, pressure of office.

And we are far from the Federation's heart?.

But not from mine,
which pains me that all is not well with you.

In what way, Kommissar?.

The quotas have fallen far short
of what we had hoped.

The Assistant Kommissar will
have put this to you, I think?.

He has.

Well, we can talk about that.
He also tells me you have visitors.

Yes.

Show me.

[ALERT CHIME]

The man's called Blake.

How did the spaceship get here?.

Something triggered the shield.
It should've been destroyed.

Obviously, it wasn't.

Then plainly they have a force field of some kind,
very advanced technically.

What do you suggest, Kommissar?.

What else have you found out about them?.

There are others on their ship.

I think they're Resisters.

Really?. I've heard of people who resist.
I've never seen one before.

This could be interesting.
Let us begin.

With your permission, of course.
I take it I have your permission?.

Yes, of course.

Ah! Sorry.

Down safe, in a sort of cavern.

We'll climb out and find a better view.

I'll call back every three minutes.
Out.

[HYPNOTIC DRONE]
Look at me, Jenna. Concentrate.

The whole idea is to disorient you.

It doesn't seem to help.

When they ask questions, pretend you're dizzy.

I AM dizzy.

Concentrate!
They can't keep this up for much longer.

Jenna! All right, you can stop.
She's passed out.

So you're a Resister.
Some malfunction of the genes, I suppose.

It throws up a Resister about
every hundred thousand.

Mostly they're detected in infancy.

I was a late developer.

And the young woman?.

Oh, don't force me to
repeat the treatment.

Bring the girl round.

The damage to her will be extensive and permanent.

You don't care, I see.
Very well.

Double the input of the disorientor.

It'll kill them.
Before we know anything about them.

They'll talk before then.
Of course, the decision is yours.

We await your orders, Ro.

Hang on, Jenna!

- What is it?.
- I thought I heard something.

Oww!

All right. All right, I'll talk.

I'll talk. To you.

The people work in your mines as slaves.
What is the death rate?.

- It's high.
- But not unacceptable.

As you say, Kommissar.

Why do you listen to this man?.

He is a servant, a lackey of the Federation.
Send him home.

But the Federation are our friends.

The Federation have all planets in slavery.
You are their representative.

You don't understand.

The ore is important to them,
that much I understand.

It's important to us all.

It's needed for the latest hyperspace ships
that will send men into new galaxies.

We're one of the only two planets with a rich
seam of Monopasium-239.

Oh, Monopasium-239.
No wonder your workers die.

I wish it weren't necessary,
but only ten percent die, the Primitives.

Aren't they human beings, Ro?.

The Primitives?. Every one a Primitive,
working at the mines this very moment. Except...

When you're all dead, the Federation will
use this planet to extend their empire further.

With their new ships, with your fuel.
You are digging your own graves, Ro.

They code-named this place Horizon.
It's a horizon you will never cross.

You see, Ro?. You see how these people work?.
He tells you we are your enemy.

How can that be?.
Without us you'd be living in caves,

as you were when the
Federation first colonised you.

We may have lived in caves,
but we did have our own culture.

And our own weapons,
which still have their uses.

You have no part of that now.
You're one of us.

At the Central Educational Complex,
you were my most able scholar.

The graduation order you wear was my personal gift.

I've not forgotten.
I'm very proud of it, Kommissar.

Sometimes you don't behave as if you are.

Behave like a ruler, Ro, not a savage.

Now, I want details of the spaceship and crew,
and I want you to tell them to land.

Not a chance.

Sir.

- I'll be back.
- Oh, yes, Kommissar.

"Yes, Kommissar. No, Kommissar".
They've made you one of them.

You 're bought and sold, aren 't you?.

Well, I shouldn't be surprised.
I was told before I came here.

Who by?. Who said that?.

One of your subjects, I presume.

He spoke of Monopasium-239,
and he spoke of someone called Ro.

His name was Paura.
But he didn't call this place "Horizon".

- Silmareno.
- That's right.

The name's forbidden.
You can't cling to the past.

Paura shouldn't have spoken it.

Huh! He probably thought he had
nothing to lose, under the circumstances.

Circumstances?.

He was on a Federation convict ship.

Paura?!.?. But I was told that...

What were you told?.

He was on a training course.

We were on the same course.
It led to a Federation prison colony - Cygnus Alpha.

Only Paura never reached there.
He died. They dumped his body in space.

He was my friend.

He must have misbehaved in some way.
That's not my fault.

I think it is. You know it is.

- Oh.
- Jenna.

Oh, my head.

- What is it?.
- Plain water. From a stream.

Probably full of lethal bacteria.

Thank you.
It tastes all right.

You want some?.

Thank you.
You are a human being after all.

My people are poor and ignorant.
I'm helping them to better themselves.

How did your father die, Ro?.

What?.

In a Federation prison colony too?.

No. In an accident.

Paura told me that your father would never
have made his people slaves as you have done.

You're lying!
Paura wouldn't have said that.

He was my friend.
He understood the needs of my people.

Perhaps better than you do.

Ro.

Two more have been taken.
They're being dealt with.

What about these two?.

Put them to work.
It'll soon bring them to their senses.

They'll be begging to help us
before three time units are up.

What's your name?.

I'm Selma.
I'm not one of THESE people.

I was to marry Ro.

So what are you doing here?.

The Kommissar advised him to send me
for training or whatever they call it.

I refused to become what they
wanted so I was sent here.

How long have you got to stay here?.

Until I accept or until I die.
And I shall die.

In thirty time units from radioactivity.

Food.

Leave it!

One handful, one at a time.
You.

Now you.

I thought you'd forgotten her.

No.
Is it true my friend Paura died on a prison ship?.

No, of course not.

- The Resister said so.
- Yes, I heard the report.

- How did my father die?.
- You know how he died.

You wouldn't lie to me?.

Of course I wouldn't lie to you.
We are as brothers, you and I.

What about the other two?.
What did we get from them?.

One of them needed two darts!

There was no telling when
he'd regain consciousness,

so I had the guard
hang him up as a warning.

The other one?.

He's in here.

He's a common thief,
he confessed at once.

The spaceship is protected by a force
field but the man is ignorant,

he knows nothing of its technical capacity.

What are you going to do with him?.

Put him to work.
It seems he's never done any in his life.

Work?.

Orac, where did you get this information?.

I was instructed to obtain
anything relating to the planet.

The data was obtained by cross-referencing
prisoner and execution lists.

It is standard procedure.

I don 't see that it makes any difference now.

Blake could find it very useful.

A little late, surely?.

- They aren't dead.
- How do you know?.

- I know.
- Yes.

I tell you, I know.

I think we should get out.
I have a standby plot.

I can put the ship on auto, Zen can fly us out.
We can get away, Cally.

- I'm going down.
- You're a fool.

Avon, I'm going down.
This information could be vital.

Listen.
The others have vanished.

They didn't even have time to call in.

The only possible conclusion to draw
from that is that they are dead.

They aren't dead.

This is what I've been trying
to avoid all my life.

Don't worry, it won't last forever.

So you say.

Down.
There's no sign of anyone else.

I'll keep in constant contact.

You've got thirty time units.
This stuff's radioactive.

What?.

Pick that up.

It's even worse than I thought.
Look.

- Nothing to report yet.
- Make it every half-minute.

Right.

Orac, have you obtained any further
information on the planet Horizon?.

- No.
- Why not?.

- Is that a serious question?.
- No.

Please do not waste my time.

Cally.
Are you there?.

Are you there?.
Cally!

And then there was one.

Orac, no further information is
required on the planet Horizon.

I think it's time to leave.

Was it, was it you?.
Were you the executioner?.

Your companions are still alive.

I feel it.
You killed him.

You killed him because he would not obey you.

What is she talking about?.

She's a mystic, I think.
I've seen this amongst my own people.

Rubbish.
That stuff belongs to your tribal past.

His father.
You killed his father.

- We're wasting time.
- No!

She's deranged.
It's the poison from your darts, it's affecting her.

How could she know about my father?.
She's never seen him, never heard of him.

How can she know he's dead?.

A guess.

Movo knew you for what you were.

She knows his name.

He killed your father.
He did it with his own hands.

And take great care;
he will kill you unless you kill him first.

Take her to the others.
Let her use her mystic powers on them.

T reat her gently!
She has great gifts.

You know I sometimes think
you're still half savage after all.

Perhaps I am.

She'll be dead soon.
They all will.

Yes, I know.

I must make a decision about Selma.

If she is to die,
it mustn't be there, like that.

She is a bad influence.

She was dismissed from the Federation
Training Complex for disobedience.

She tried to make trouble
here against the Federation.

It is best to leave her where she is.

You're forever telling me to behave like a ruler,
when I do you say I'm wrong!

Yes, that's true.
Very well.

Tell them to release her.
But don't blame me when you find it's a mistake.

I will decide.

IF I decide she is to die,
I'll order it to be done quickly.

Have you sent the girl off?.

Yes, sir.
She makes me uneasy.

- Superstition.
-Oh, I realise that.

Goes very deep with some, I know.

Then how did she know?.

Obviously she's had access
to the records at some time.

Kommissar, why don't we report all this
to Federation Central Control?.

- No.
- It's the logical thing.

Is it?. Is it?.
Well, for one thing, they're out of signal range.

All we could contact from here
are some units of Space Security.

- They could relay your message.
- They could.

There are certain to be details of these
Resisters in the central data banks.

Then we would know what we are dealing with.

You're very thoughtful.

Simple loyalty, Kommissar.

I would not wish us to overstep the bounds
of our duty here.

No.
We must not do that.

Then I think I must advise
Central Control in all our interests.

No.
I don't need the central data bank.

I already know who they are.

Blake and his crew are the most
sought-after criminals in the galaxy.

- You've known that all along?.
- Of course.

Then why haven't you done anything?.

The reward for each of them is generous.

Almost as generous as the reward for their spaceship.

I have been out of touch.

Besides, I want to tame Blake myself.
If he breaks, the others will.

He will give us the spaceship.
It will be a great achievement.

And we get the reward?.

I get the reward.

What do I get?.

My continued support.

- What about Ro?.
- Ro will do as I say.

He's showing signs of rebellion.

He is not the man his father was.

- When do they let up?.
- They don't.

You.
Come with me.

Where are you taking her?.

Does it matter?.
Can't be any worse than here.

Unless she's going to die.

I want to talk with the Kommissar.

If I go alone,
can I pilot the Liberator indefinitely?.

With the help of the automatics,
of course you can.

- I know that.
- Then why did you ask the question?.

I didn't.
How long can I maintain myself?.

- Is that a question?.
- Yes.

We have concentrated food for one
person for a thousand years.

- And our power is self-regenerating?.
- Affirmative.

Can you plot courses to keep out of the range of
any known spaceship manned by the Federation?.

The battle and navigation computers
can handle that perfectly adequately.

- I asked if YOU could.
- Of course, should it be necessary.

Failing that, we are powerful
enough to resist all but an attack

by three Federation pursuit ships at once.

- Is that a question?.
- No.

If we go now, we can sail the universe
for as long as we like in reasonable safety,

provided we keep out of everybody's way
and we do not do anything rash.

No data available to answer the question,
if it was a question.

I put it to you as a possibility.
I request the odds.

The odds would be
3. 5 to 1 on survival.

Therefore I do not need Blake;
I do not need any of the others.

Is that a question?.

I do not need anybody at all.

Is that a question?.
I must ask you to be more specific.

Shut up, Orac.

As you see,
Selma is restored to her proper status.

And she can stay here if
she's willing to be sensible.

You, too, can be restored to civilisation
if you're willing and sensible.

I'm glad for her.
And for you, Ro.

Congratulations.
I'm sure your father would have approved.

You asked to talk to me.
My assistant is ready to take a statement.

I've no statement to make,
simply a proposition.

And what is that?.

Keep me.
Take me back to the Federation when you leave Horizon.

Let the others go.
Otherwise, Liberator will stay out there.

And when you try to get away in your slow freighter,
it will destroy you.

- Can you do that?.
- Oh yes.

Let them go.
Let them all go. They mean us no harm.

We are at your command, Ro.

Please, Ro, please.

No.
Not yet. I am the ruler here.

Send him back to the quarry for now.

Come along.
You heard the ruler.

I'll think about it.
I said I'll think about it!

Well done, Ro.

They're brave people,
and they've chosen their own way.

You were wrong about Blake,
the Federation doesn't frighten him.

[DATATRANSFER]

Zen, what was that?.

A message from the Federation
freighter on the planet HoriZon.

What did it say?.
Decode.

It is in Federation Code 9.

Message reads,
"Top priority signal

to any Federation pursuit unit,
from Kommissar, planet HoriZon.

Request assistance.
Ruler of HoriZon unreliable, am disposing of him.

Rebel spaceship at grid reference
ten by thirteen W-Z.

Request you destroy this spaceship at once.

A lso inform Federation Central Control of this action.
Await confirmation. '"

- Has anybody else picked it up?.
- Negative.

[DATA TRANSFER]

Decode.

From Federation Pursuit Flotilla Thirteen,
to Kommissar, planet HoriZon.

Message reads, "Coming to your immediate aid.

Regret cannot relay your message
to Federation Central Control.

They are out of range.
Planetfall, two hours from now. '"

How many pursuit ships in Flotilla Thirteen?.

Three pursuit ships.

What do these detectors look like?.

Logicwould suggest they are camouflaged,
in plants.

Does logic suggest somewhere you can
put me down without my being detected?.

- Difficult.
- But?.

- There is a place.
- Then get on with it.

Activating.

Marvellous.

Well, well, well...

So I'm not alone after all.

Missed.

It's a fault on the scanner, that's all.

No, it's been switched off.

All the scanners in the palace are off,
everyone has fled.

There is no electronic communication
anywhere on Horizon.

You know what that means.

They've got everything under control.

Are you just going to let them kill you?.
And me?.

Who said we were going to die?.

Those people in the spaceship,
Ro, you have one of their bracelets?.

No, guards at the mines have got them.

We must try and contact them;
they're our only chance. Ro!

No, I can't leave the palace.
You go.

- But what about you?.
- Go. Now!

- I can 't.
- You must. I command it.

Orac, teleport us now.

What now?.

I want the exact teleport coordinates on that palace.

Ro.

All the scanners are off.
Why's that?.

So I can't call my guards for help?.

Selma tried to run away.
Did you know?.

- Where is she?.
- Here.

Let her go.

She's no good to you, Ro.
None at all.

You must be rid of her.

She should not have been
brought back to the palace.

You are, I think, mistaken, Kommissar.
She means us no harm.

She knows things about the Resisters nobody else knows.
She's worked with them.

They've told her things about the spaceship.
We can still capture it.

She knows nothing.

Ro, remember our work together,
the theories I taught you, the strategies.

Now they must be practiced.
You know we must question her.

I tell you she knows nothing
we haven't already been told.

That we can find out. If not...

- What do want of me?.
- Tell her to help us.

All right.
Why not?.

Now you're beginning to act like a ruler.

- I try, Kommissar.
- Of course you do.

I don't want to be a savage again.

Of course you don't.
This way.

Sit down, Ro.

The minimum.

No, please.

Ro told you about their communicators,
didn't you, Ro?.

Yes, it didn't seem important.

Very well. Now, Selma,

when you were in the mine,
what did the Resisters tell you?.

Nothing!

-We need the truth, Selma.
- Nothing! Nothing!

-The truth, Selma.
- Nothing! They didn't tell me anything!

She'll die if we do more of this.
The pain will kill her, won't it?.

There's no organic damage,
but the pain will kill her, yes. Do you care?.

No.

You must have felt something.

You showed nothing.
That means you are learning.

Yes, I hope I am.

- Have you got the coordinates yet?.
- It takes time.

- There may not BE much time.
- Then stop distracting me.

You're right. I've been foolish.
I belong to the Federation.

I'm glad you're coming
round to the truth, Ro.

It would have hurt me to eliminate you.

- You were thinking of that?.
- Oh yes.

But we are as brothers.

Even so.
For the good of the Federation.

The Federation.

We should be getting back.

Of course.
Can I have a moment?.

I'm still shaking.
My hands are sweating.

It can affect one like that,
the agony of an acquaintance.

Excuse me.

- All right.
- About time.

You will die.
It's the death serum.

You planned our deaths.

I thought you were one of us, Ro.

No, I'm not.
Seems I never was.

Blake, where are you?.
Those pursuit ships will be here in five minutes.

We have to be mobile to stand a chance.
We're a sitting target here.

One moment only, Avon.
What about the Federation?.

The last of their guards are dying now.

They'll send more, sooner or later.

We will fight.

- I wish you luck, both of you.
- Thank you.

You saved my life.
While I live, you'll be welcome on Horizon.

Still Horizon?.

You can't return to the past.

- Liberator, teleport now. Good-bye.
- Good-bye, Blake.

About time.
More last-minute heroics?.

I thought that was your strong suit.

I have a course ready to go.

Zen,
position of those three ships on the main screen.

Four hundred spacials,
closing at Time Distort Six, line astern.

Line astern?.
That's new.

A bright attack commander,
lining up to hit us in exactly the same spot.

Zen, can we withstand a plasma bolt attack
from those three ships?.

If they hit the same spot they could
possibly destroy the Liberator.

Battle computers advise against
allowing them to do so.

- Let's get out of here!
- Ready.

Wait.
We're already within strike range.

At least let's make it difficult for them.

Twenty seconds, then hit it, Jenna.

They'll murder us!

Blake, they might be protected.

I don't think so.

And even if I'm wrong we
still have a slim chance.

A slim chance, what more could we ask?.

- Jenna, take us out on the standby course.
- Where are we heading?.

Later.
Just clear Horizon.

It was pretty close there for a moment, Blake.

Playing the percentages again?.

Zen had nothing on Horizon's defences.

And Federation Control
were keeping the place secret.

It was reasonable for you to hope that
routine pursuit ships would be unprotected,

but in future,
I would prefer something a little more reliable than hope.

I mean, just sitting there.

If we'd got underway,
they would have changed course.

And we thought we were tired before.

I'll tell you this though:
it beats work.
