Use his glove. 189 00:15:55,220 --> 00:15:57,609 The one being held by the Hommiks is called Avon. 190 00:15:57,700 --> 00:15:59,258 Well, does he concern us? 191 00:15:59,340 --> 00:16:03,413 - Our future depends on him. Dorian is dead. - Dead? 192 00:16:03,820 --> 00:16:07,813 - But the Scorpio? - Without Avon, the Scorpio is lost. 193 00:16:17,540 --> 00:16:19,212 Watch him. 194 00:16:30,020 --> 00:16:34,013 I've checked the secondary hatch. Locked, from the inside. 195 00:16:34,100 --> 00:16:37,775 - So she used the main entrance. - We used the main entrance. It was locked. 196 00:16:37,860 --> 00:16:41,091 Besides, if she came in that way, she would have tripped the surveillance alarm. 197 00:16:41,180 --> 00:16:43,933 - Then she's still on the base. - I've checked. There's nobody here. 198 00:16:44,020 --> 00:16:45,817 All right, I'm going mad. 199 00:16:45,900 --> 00:16:47,777 Comes of drinking and talking to myself. 200 00:16:47,860 --> 00:16:49,498 I could be lying of course. Have you considered that? 201 00:16:49,580 --> 00:16:54,608 Vila, we're not accusing you of lying or going mad. We just want to know how she got out. 202 00:16:54,700 --> 00:16:56,850 - If she was here. - And how she got in. 203 00:16:56,940 --> 00:16:58,931 I told you, the secondary hatch was open and she... 204 00:16:59,020 --> 00:17:01,295 It wasn't. I checked them both this morning. 205 00:17:01,380 --> 00:17:04,736 Well, look at this, I dropped the lance body right across it and the bruise... 206 00:17:04,820 --> 00:17:06,651 I can't see any bruise. 207 00:17:08,180 --> 00:17:09,738 No. 208 00:17:09,820 --> 00:17:13,415 Must be brain warp. Think I'll just go off and die somewhere. 209 00:17:13,540 --> 00:17:14,939 - Vila. - What? 210 00:17:15,020 --> 00:17:16,851 - The door. - Which door? 211 00:17:16,940 --> 00:17:19,773 The door to the landing silo, how long before you free the lock? 212 00:17:19,860 --> 00:17:20,975 Oh, that. 213 00:17:21,060 --> 00:17:24,370 I'll need to switch the lance on. Course, we still need Avon. 214 00:17:26,820 --> 00:17:29,050 Have you ever seen a nuclear compression charge go off? 215 00:17:29,140 --> 00:17:32,177 Everything gets sucked in. It's like a mini black hole. 216 00:17:32,420 --> 00:17:34,854 Looks good. From a distance. 217 00:17:37,740 --> 00:17:41,255 - Do you think I should go with him in case... - In case what? He has got brain warp? 218 00:17:41,340 --> 00:17:44,855 - Or a flask of booze. - No, leave him. 219 00:17:54,140 --> 00:17:56,290 That makes a difference, doesn't it? 220 00:18:09,900 --> 00:18:12,050 If you get the chance, Kate, go. 221 00:18:16,860 --> 00:18:20,455 Yes, all right, but I agree with Vila. I think we should get out of here. 222 00:18:20,540 --> 00:18:23,259 Abandon Scorpio when there's every chance we can save her? 223 00:18:23,340 --> 00:18:25,934 Look, we don't know when the place is going up, we could have hours. 224 00:18:26,020 --> 00:18:27,499 - Or even minutes. - Seconds. 225 00:18:27,580 --> 00:18:29,810 If we can get through the door, we can operate the switch manually. 226 00:18:29,900 --> 00:18:31,413 Pretend it's not there, just walk through it? 227 00:18:31,500 --> 00:18:33,456 That's what your Seska friend did with the hatches. 228 00:18:33,540 --> 00:18:36,134 - Perhaps she can show us how it's done. - Tarrant, it's serious. 229 00:18:36,220 --> 00:18:38,211 I'm being serious. Orac! 230 00:18:38,300 --> 00:18:41,497 Is it possible for a living person to pass through a solid, a hatch, 231 00:18:41,580 --> 00:18:43,457 without there being any material disturbance? 232 00:18:43,540 --> 00:18:47,249 - The process is called teleportation. - Oh, well, nothing like stating the obvious. 233 00:18:47,340 --> 00:18:50,173 Could a person just teleport themselves as an act of will? 234 00:18:50,260 --> 00:18:53,058 No, unless directed by an outside agency, 235 00:18:53,180 --> 00:18:56,297 matter transmuted to energy will merely dissipate at random. 236 00:18:56,380 --> 00:18:58,371 Could this have done it without us knowing? 237 00:18:58,460 --> 00:19:02,976 I am exploring the possibility. Without a co-radiating crystal to focus the beam, 238 00:19:03,060 --> 00:19:06,735 the mechanism will operate at.001% efficiency. 239 00:19:06,820 --> 00:19:09,493 Orac, a woman was inside this base and she's not inside it now. 240 00:19:09,580 --> 00:19:12,731 Given that the hatch remained locked from the inside, how would she get out? 241 00:19:12,820 --> 00:19:16,449 The logical alternatives are within the bounds of human reasoning. 242 00:19:16,580 --> 00:19:21,256 I suggest you consider them and leave me in peace to reflect on those matters which are not. 243 00:19:22,660 --> 00:19:24,218 Hey! 244 00:19:24,300 --> 00:19:27,690 No! Let me go. No! 245 00:19:40,780 --> 00:19:41,895 (Screams) 246 00:20:24,180 --> 00:20:28,890 Don't get too comfortable now, we'll be back for you just as soon as the surgery is free. 247 00:20:43,700 --> 00:20:44,815 Avon? 248 00:20:56,540 --> 00:20:58,292 You are Avon, aren't you? 249 00:21:01,420 --> 00:21:04,378 Perhaps I was somewhere else when they introduced us. 250 00:21:06,220 --> 00:21:10,577 - You've been hurt. - Well, you could say that. 251 00:21:11,460 --> 00:21:14,975 However, the nuclear compression charge is set to detonate in precisely 252 00:21:15,060 --> 00:21:17,654 - three hours 24 minutes. - So you've got to get that door open fast. 253 00:21:17,740 --> 00:21:19,537 - How long? - The lance will be through in about an hour. 254 00:21:19,620 --> 00:21:21,531 But there's still the computer code. We still need Avon. 255 00:21:21,620 --> 00:21:24,851 Do we? Orac, can you interpret and break the computer code? 256 00:21:24,940 --> 00:21:29,855 The code sequence is the numerical value of the letters contained in the word "Narcissus". 257 00:21:31,060 --> 00:21:35,133 - No problem. - However, the device has a secondary trip relay. 258 00:21:35,340 --> 00:21:38,491 When the door is opened, the charge will detonate automatically. 259 00:21:38,580 --> 00:21:41,299 Are you telling us there's no way to reach that override switch? 260 00:21:41,380 --> 00:21:45,134 One way. The same way by which a woman passed through a hatch 261 00:21:45,220 --> 00:21:48,053 which was later seen to be locked from the inside. 262 00:21:48,140 --> 00:21:51,576 - How do we find that woman? - The information you require 263 00:21:51,660 --> 00:21:54,015 is on the chronicle discs in the records locker. 264 00:21:54,100 --> 00:21:58,093 Now will you please return me to the control room where I have work to do? 265 00:22:06,860 --> 00:22:10,375 - Can you walk? - Very likely. 266 00:22:12,700 --> 00:22:15,578 But just at the moment I can't think of too many places to go. 267 00:22:15,660 --> 00:22:18,220 There was a girl with me when we were captured. We've got to find her. 268 00:22:18,300 --> 00:22:20,939 She's very young. They're going to operate on her. 269 00:22:21,020 --> 00:22:23,580 - And then on me. - Operate? Why? 270 00:22:24,340 --> 00:22:26,808 So that we will no longer be Seska. 271 00:22:26,900 --> 00:22:31,928 - Seska? - When our spirit is broken, we give them sons. 272 00:22:32,500 --> 00:22:34,616 The daughters are left to die on the hillside. 273 00:22:34,700 --> 00:22:37,260 Sometimes we are able to find them in time. 274 00:22:37,700 --> 00:22:39,292 The Hommiks are regressives. 275 00:22:39,380 --> 00:22:43,498 They reverted to primitive tribalism hundreds of years ago. It's all they know. 276 00:22:43,980 --> 00:22:47,495 Now please, if you care at all, will you help me with this door? 277 00:22:47,980 --> 00:22:51,495 - There's a large bolt on the other side. - The door is open. 278 00:22:57,980 --> 00:23:00,050 But there's something blocking it. 279 00:23:06,700 --> 00:23:08,577 Or should I say someone? 280 00:23:15,020 --> 00:23:18,217 - How do you suppose this happened? - Please, we must hurry. 281 00:23:22,420 --> 00:23:24,251 Have you noticed that they're all women? 282 00:23:24,340 --> 00:23:26,900 So far we haven't seen a single man on these discs. 283 00:23:26,980 --> 00:23:29,130 These are all that's left. 284 00:23:29,220 --> 00:23:33,179 It's as though history stops 20 years ago. This is the last. 285 00:23:33,460 --> 00:23:36,532 - Has Orac scanned them? - Hm. For all the good it does us. 286 00:23:36,620 --> 00:23:39,498 The only person he treats with any respect is Avon. 287 00:23:46,060 --> 00:23:50,451 Interim report concerning the last engagement in the battle for A-X Ridge. 288 00:23:51,140 --> 00:23:56,089 At 08539, defence losses numbered 18 dead and 7 taken. 289 00:23:56,540 --> 00:23:58,770 Estimated Hommik losses; 0. 290 00:23:59,340 --> 00:24:02,412 At 08611, a nucleic burster was released 291 00:24:02,500 --> 00:24:06,175 in the procreation vault contaminating the Seska seminal stocks. 292 00:24:06,260 --> 00:24:07,534 (Metallic thudding) 293 00:24:07,620 --> 00:24:12,410 Survival threshold has been passed, with Seska strength now numbering 94, 294 00:24:12,500 --> 00:24:14,650 which includes 52 infants. 295 00:24:15,460 --> 00:24:20,056 Maravik, conducting the Hommik deployment from the safety of his A-F Hill HQ, 296 00:24:20,140 --> 00:24:22,335 has called for an unconditional surrender. 297 00:24:22,420 --> 00:24:26,095 A rejection is already being drafted, but there is a growing feeling 298 00:24:26,180 --> 00:24:30,492 among the Seska remnant that women, even with the power we have could never... 299 00:24:32,260 --> 00:24:35,138 The Seskas are women. All of them are women. 300 00:24:36,020 --> 00:24:40,616 And presumably the Hommiks were men. Looks like it was a war between the sexes. 301 00:24:40,700 --> 00:24:44,329 - And the men were winning. - What's a nucleic burster? 302 00:24:44,660 --> 00:24:49,131 A radiation flare. Very dirty. Last thing you'd want in a procreation chamber. 303 00:24:50,860 --> 00:24:52,009 TARRANT: Wait a moment. 304 00:24:52,100 --> 00:24:53,613 (Disc rewinding) 305 00:24:53,700 --> 00:24:57,739 ...conducting the Hommik deployment from the safety of his A-F Hill HQ... 306 00:24:59,980 --> 00:25:03,529 - A-F Hill? A-X Ridge? - That's what the lady said. 307 00:25:04,460 --> 00:25:08,772 Well, then we can trace it back. All we need is the original point of reference. 308 00:25:09,340 --> 00:25:11,296 One of us will have to ask Orac. 309 00:25:33,900 --> 00:25:36,130 I've finished. She'll sleep now. 310 00:25:54,140 --> 00:25:56,574 Nina! Why have you done this? 311 00:25:56,660 --> 00:25:58,252 (Groaning) 312 00:26:02,500 --> 00:26:04,934 Nina, what have they done to you? 313 00:26:05,020 --> 00:26:08,535 - How could you be a part of this? - Pella, never mind. We're too late. Let's go. 314 00:26:08,620 --> 00:26:12,374 I can't leave Nina. Nina, come with us. We can escape. 315 00:26:12,740 --> 00:26:16,210 - And how would I live? - We have food. You don't need the Hommiks. 316 00:26:16,300 --> 00:26:19,497 - Nor do I need Dorian. - Pella, come on! 317 00:26:19,620 --> 00:26:21,975 - Dorian's dead. - Then so are you. 318 00:26:22,580 --> 00:26:26,368 - Gunn Sar feeds me. Why should I leave? - Because you are Seska. 319 00:26:27,380 --> 00:26:31,692 Nina, these people, they're good. We can get off this planet. 320 00:26:31,820 --> 00:26:35,051 I don't want to get off the planet. I don't want to go anywhere. 321 00:26:35,140 --> 00:26:38,974 - Pella! - Now please. I have my duties to attend to. 322 00:26:39,660 --> 00:26:42,970 I feel sorry for you, Nina. You were a Seska... 323 00:26:43,060 --> 00:26:45,210 but more than that you were a great Seska. 324 00:26:45,300 --> 00:26:47,894 And now, I am a woman. 325 00:27:04,140 --> 00:27:05,778 I'll take that. 326 00:27:06,180 --> 00:27:09,297 - It isn't yours. - Nor is it yours. But it doesn't matter whose it is. 327 00:27:09,380 --> 00:27:11,291 - Give it to me. - No. 328 00:27:11,380 --> 00:27:13,336 Then I'm going to have to take it. 329 00:27:13,420 --> 00:27:15,490 I don't want to hurt you, Avon. 330 00:27:24,180 --> 00:27:25,693 Oh, it's good. 331 00:27:26,980 --> 00:27:30,768 - But it's not good enough. - Don't make me do it again. 332 00:27:31,220 --> 00:27:33,415 You must, though. Mustn't you? 333 00:27:40,140 --> 00:27:44,736 Oh, it hurts, Pella. But I will win. 334 00:27:52,180 --> 00:27:55,297 - There's not much left, is there? - Enough. 335 00:28:14,460 --> 00:28:17,975 You see, Pella, it's your strength and however you use it, 336 00:28:18,060 --> 00:28:19,971 a man's will always be greater. 337 00:28:20,060 --> 00:28:23,609 Unfair, perhaps, but biologically unavoidable. 338 00:28:43,260 --> 00:28:47,776 I'm going now, Pella, before your friend Nina calls out the guard. 339 00:28:49,460 --> 00:28:52,896 - Is it done? - Yes, she's sleeping. 340 00:28:53,300 --> 00:28:57,009 - Any problems? - No. Oh, except your prisoners escaped. 341 00:28:57,100 --> 00:29:01,173 - What! - It's all right. They won't go far, I alerted security. 342 00:29:01,260 --> 00:29:03,057 Security. 343 00:29:08,620 --> 00:29:11,612 - The Seska's name is Pella. - So? 344 00:29:12,500 --> 00:29:14,616 - I remember her being born. - Hm. 345 00:29:22,060 --> 00:29:24,494 - She asked me to go with them. - Go where? 346 00:29:25,060 --> 00:29:30,054 - Escape. - So, why didn't you? 347 00:29:54,020 --> 00:29:56,534 - How much further is it? - 15 minutes. 348 00:29:56,620 --> 00:29:59,453 That'll leave us an hour and a half. And I'm tired already. 349 00:29:59,540 --> 00:30:02,418 - You didn't need to come, Vila. - I didn't need to stay. 350 00:30:02,500 --> 00:30:04,456 I get lonely, you know. 351 00:30:21,980 --> 00:30:26,895 Security alert. Intruders at A-F 43. Approach and apprehend. 352 00:30:27,980 --> 00:30:29,493 Interesting. 353 00:30:31,340 --> 00:30:35,253 - How did you find this place? - There had to be a computer room. 354 00:30:35,340 --> 00:30:37,171 - But it's... - Concealed? Yes. 355 00:30:37,980 --> 00:30:40,778 But then I've had a little experience in these things. 356 00:30:41,580 --> 00:30:45,414 Oh, by the way, I shouldn't rely too heavily on your security. 357 00:30:46,420 --> 00:30:50,379 - It has... weaknesses. - Gunn Sar? 358 00:30:50,460 --> 00:30:52,928 Gunn Sar doesn't know. But he doesn't know a lot of things, does he? 359 00:30:53,020 --> 00:30:56,330 - He is our leader. - And a very good one, if a little... 360 00:30:56,420 --> 00:31:00,129 - Stupid? - Well, I didn't like to say it. 361 00:31:00,220 --> 00:31:03,257 He thinks we have scouts posted everywhere and runners. 362 00:31:03,340 --> 00:31:06,218 Impractical.
