- How is Paul, commander?
- He's not too bad.

A couple of fractured ribs,
broken ankle.

Dr Russell says he'll be out
for a few days but he'll be ok.

Nothing serious.

Winters. Do you think you could
fill that chair for a while?

- Yes, sir.
- Separates the men from the boys.

I won't let you down, sir.

All right.
Any problems, check with Carter.

I'll be in my quarters.

Good night, commander.

- Good night.
- Good morning, commander.

Tell me you've seen something
like that before.

No.

Nor has computer.

Main mission
calling commander koenig.

Main mission
calling commander koenig.

Winters, this had better be
more than urgent.

I think it is, sir.

Magnification.

By all that's scientific,
if that's a spacecraft...

It defies every known law
of aerospace propulsion.

Like the Bumblebee
which shouldn't fly.

But does.

Kano, let's see what computer
has to say about it.

Computer, I want detailed information
about the space object.

Anything.

I have nothing to say
on that subject.

Nothing, commander.
I can't explain it.

My information is privileged.

Good day, dear friends.

I wouldn't intrude but I rather need
your immediate help.

We've lost visual, commander.

He's not reaching us at radio waves.
Computer's scrambled.

- I'm trying all channels.
- Not to worry.

Our communication is excellent.

In a moment, even with your
restricted sight, you will see me.

Friendly?

- Better ask louder.
- Suppose you get the wrong answer?

Kano, ask computer
if that thing is armed.

I am otherwise occupied.

Do Grant permission to land
on your territory, commander.

- For what reason?
- I need your help.

- Isn't that reason enough?
- Possibly.

We're peaceful.

I wonder what kind of people.

That thing's hostile.

And asks for help?

- It's clever.
- Show some compassion, Alan.

Survival first, brotherhood after.

Excuse me.

I don't wish to hurry
your Democratic discussion

but I have an emergency.

And we have our emergency.

But mine is greater than your fear.

Yes, permission to land.

I am obliged.

- Away from our base.
- Of course.

One should be careful with strangers.

Hold it! I gave permission to land,
not to approach.

Can't you see, commander?
My intentions are pacific.

With respect, no.

I only require your assistance.

Alan, send out two eagles,
fully armed.

They'll fire only on my instructions.

I shouldn't do that if I were you.

- Why?
- Because I won't let you.

Alan, do as I say.

Commander, I'm not getting through.

Your intercommunication system
will function when I want it to.

Now, commander,
shall we be reasonable?

If you come in peace.

If? My word is my bond.

Then I'm prepared to receive a small
delegation. Unarmed, of course.

No.

I shall welcome a small
but influential delegation,

consisting of dr Helena Russell,
professor Victor bergman

and yourself,
commander John koenig.

Armed, of course.

- Are we going?
- Do we have a choice?

I'm delighted, commander.

Greetings, alphans.

You will now be delivered
to my control room.

We've no contact, nothing.

- No visual.
- No computer again.

- I'm taking those eagles up.
- You heard the threat.

Yep and that's why I'm carrying out
the commander's original orders.

Welcome aboard, Alpha party.

Just let yourselves go.

It's quite safe to come out now.

Do come in that we may be well met.

Said the spider to the fly.

Children's stories are brutal,
professor.

But you have nothing to fear.

Except fear itself.

Yes. The wise man knows
when to be afraid.

You are very kind.

But I have yet to need assistance.

I regret not welcoming you
on your arrival.

I rest only when I must.

Now, how can I help you?

It's more a question of how we can
help you. You summoned us.

Summoned?

For help.

I'm dr Helena Russell,
this is commander John koenig,

professor Victor bergman.

I am companion.

Perhaps if you could send
for the others, they could explain.

I know why you are here, commander.

You think I don't know
what you're doing?

Why you're silent, gwent?

Are you ashamed
of your actions, gwent?

Then I'll speak for you.

Devious. He leaves me to deal
with his lesser matters.

Where is gwent?

His purpose in coming here
is clearly twofold.

I'm well aware of the first
and can... surmise the second.

So I shall speak only what I know.

Thank you, sir.

From time to time,
we must interrupt our endless journey

to obtain certain items
necessary to our continued wellbeing.

Now you take an interest.
When you want something.

I suppose he has issued
a long list of his requirements?

Some list. Victor?

Well, we...
We have most of the basics.

I have consulted your computer.

You have everything I need.

As I said, devious.

Why make me explain
and then interfere?

You were handling things so badly,
I had to intervene.

Badly? Then I withdraw.

You can tell him whatever you want.

You presume too much
on our relationship, companion.

I'm glad to hear I can.

Well, now, commander koenig,
can I count on your cooperation?

We'll do our best,
if, in fact, we can spare all that.

I've already told you.

Thank you but I'd like to hear it
from our computer.

Then do so.

By all means,
let us go through channels.

You're wasting your time, you know.
He controls your computer.

It will say
whatever he wants it to say.

You may speak to your computer.
You may speak to your staff.

Ask your questions.

Go on.
Do you dispute my word of honour?

Faith, hope and...

Gwent's orders have been relayed
to supply department

and await shipment on dock four.

- Kano, can you hear me?
- Yes, commander.

- When was this order given?
- 0711 hours.

23 minutes ago, commander.

You presume too much, gwent.

You are a commander.

I demand to see you, gwent!

You do!

Everything... is gwent.

Gwent...

Is this machinery?

Machine? Call me a machine?

Well, if you're not a machine,
show yourself.

You control this machine?

He is not entirely self-sufficient.

Almost.

But you do have ultimate control?

Over gwent? No, no.

Would that I could some of the time.

Control me? Control me?

I really would do as he says.

But surely you must control
this apparatus.

Please, please, don't anger him.

Please.

Call him gwent.

Now, don't speak. I can help you.

Companion,
if you're not dead, then speak.

All you care about...

He's extremely sick.

No, no. I'm fit.

These little attacks come and go.

Mere discomfort.

Are you certain, dear friend?

Not to worry about my capabilities.

Send for your supplies
so we can be on our way.

Done quickly, if you please.

All right.

I'll issue the order
the moment we're back on Alpha.

No. From here.

This time you have my word.

I believe only in my honour.
Issue that order.

Please, accommodate him.
He always has his way.

Always.

You will get your supplies
when we are back on Alpha.

No, commander, no.

None of us here, not you, not I,
can stand up to him.

Haven't you any influence?

Gwent is my master.

I have always been his companion.

I've grown old in his service.

Companions die but gwent goes on.

Forever. Nothing can stop him.

Forget your insuperable pride.

Give him what he wants and then go,

while you still can.

Gwent, your companion is dying.

I do not have
the medical equipment here.

If I could get him back to Alpha...

Enough. Do what I say.

No.

I can blast your base
from the universe.

Winters, immediate launch.
Attack to disable.

We're ready and waiting, commander.
We're on our way.

Measure for measure.

Stand by, rescue units.

Truce?

Cease fire.

You must let us go.
He needs medical attention.

- What's wrong with him?
- He's dying.

Companion must not die.

Words won't save him.

Don't pretend
you didn't know I was dying.

I said there were two reasons
we came here.

I am the second one.

You knew he was dying?

You don't understand.

Tell them you didn't want to admit
I was dying,

that my death is part of your life.

You won't even admit it now,
will you?

No, you're not dying.

You're only feigning,
trying to annoy me.

Admit it, you old fool.

I admit nothing... old friend.

I'm sorry to leave behind
the worst part of me.

Gwent?

Yes. Gwent... is me.

But he outgrew me.

Think of me at my best.

I leave you... to his dreadful...

Mercy.

Companion? Companion?

Companion!

Is dead.

Blind savages! You've killed him!

Now you will prepare him for burial.

Look. It is lifting off.

- Carter here.
- Status?

Both the eagles have superficial damage
but they're operational.

I have the machine in sight.

Pursue it and stand by to attack.

Companion... is ready.

I must need speak in passion...

But he hears me not.

Here lies companion,

my first friend,

who served me
without complaint or self-pity,

the best of his kind.

Gone now.

I Cherish his memory.

His memory remains...

Remains...

Rema...

Someone...

We commit to eternal space
the body of companion.

Is that all?

Amen.

Amen.

Amen.

Companion!

Goodbye... old friend.

What is that?

Sensors indicate... a body.

- Alive?
- Dead.

Execution of a hostage.

- I'm moving in.
- No. They'll all be killed.

Eagles one and two
return to base, now.

Get that load of supplies
on dock four

into an eagle
ready to lift off on my order.

It is coming back.

Destruction of Alpha imminent.

Is eagle four loaded
with those supplies?

Ready in two minutes, sir.

There is no one to restrain me now.

Commander, give your men the order.

Winters, can you hear me?

- Yes, sir.
- We're still alive.

- All of you?
- Yes.

- Get those supplies ready.
- They are ready, sir.

What assurance do I have, gwent,

that you will release us
once the supplies are delivered?

Assurance? Me?

Your famous word of honour?

If that will do.

It won't.

You know, commander,
your hostility tires me.

Companion's love
was a source of joy.

Must I waste valuable energy
punishing you?

Waste energy?

Gwent, what about those assurances?

No further discussion.

When I return,
those supplies will be on hand.

If you care to distinguish

between life and death.

Retu rn?

From where?

Somewhere, everywhere.
There's no sense in whispering.

Gwent!

Gwent!

Gwent!

He needs to conserve energy.

Obviously he's low on vital supplies.

The lights.

Needs. He has needs.

And gwent has never lived alone.

It's not just the supplies.

With companion dead,
he must have a replacement.

Gwent?

Gwent!

Curiouser and curiouser.

Helena.

It's his heart.

- What is your emergency?
- Heart seizure.

Will you help us?

Which of you?

- Which of you?
- Are you blind?

Separate.

Separate!

He has an artificial heart.

He's in a force field.

The heart's drained of power.

Move him. Hurry.

- We must get him back to Alpha.
- Stand back.

3,000 volts of electrical energy
for five seconds.

Done.

Victor, are you all right?

Yes, alive and well.

And very much obliged.

Indeed you are.

Like my companion.

I miss him.

We understood each other,
despite petty differences.

He was such marvellous company.

And you were actually friends?

Companion and I
were fellow travellers.

Forever... so we thought.

Ah, well. Everything changes.

Idont

companion always relied on me.

And you always relied on companion?

Commander.

Order your men
to deliver my supplies... now.

Gwent.

I've given you a lot of thought.

So you should.

You're not getting those supplies.
It's you or us.

Attack!

You think it better to negotiate
from strength, puny as it is?

Not negotiating, gwent.

Are you counting the costs,
commander?

To both of us, gwent.

Still counting, commander?

We're willing to risk our lives
to stop you.

So be it.

Commander, help!

All right, gwent. Whatever you say.

Whatever words appeal to you!

Surrender is sufficient.

Cease fire. Recall all eagles.

Cease fire.

So much better, dear friends.

And I commend your courage,

though it was,
as you see, ill-advised.

These are my terms.

Professor bergman, because of
your age and defective condition,

you'll return to your base
in exchange for my supplies.

Commander koenig, dr Russell,

you will stay with me
as my companions

for as long as you both shall live.

Now, get those supplies.

Prepare to lift off supplies.

Yes, sir.

Professor bergman.

You'll be delighted to know
your transport has arrived.

Gwent... please.

Let them go.

No.

You weary me, professor.

At least let dr Russell go.

And deprive you of your companion?

We have brought the supplies.

Sir.

Everything that was on the list.

Where do you want them?

Just set them down
where you're standing.

It's all accounted for.

I'll see for myself.

Dear me. Do I detect a weapon?

No. No, this is a comlock. It's part
of our intercommunications system.

Indeed.

Ah, me. It's no use trusting humans.

Always trying out
your mindless schemes.

Do you think me a fool?

Get out of here with those weapons.

But the professor...
Well, you said we...

That was before your treachery.

Now the professor stays with me.

Get out!

You're not letting him go?

Tell your men
to return to their craft

before I do something you'll regret.

- Alan!
- Yes, commander.

Fire at the door! Now!

What a pitiful attempt.

You're only good
for killing each other.

Gwent giveth.

And gwent taketh away.

Ah, well.

Perhaps some small use
can be made

ofyourexpenence,
professor bergman.

Get out before I kill you.

Get out!

You are defenceless against me.

No more demonstrations.

Now, my dear companions.

Get those supplies.

Come along.

Come along, come along.

This one first.

Hurry, please.

Hurry.

Open it.

Open it!

Over here. Here. Insert it. Here.

Quickly!

Quickly.

Quickly.

No.

When will you learn to obey?

What's the matter, gwent?

You tiring, gwent?

You didn't hurt us so much that time.

Are you immortal, gwent?

I have enough energy left
to destroy you and your entire base!

I warn you!

All right, then!
Come on and get it over with!

I demand your cooperation.

Cooperation? Who the hell are you?

We don't know who you are, where
you've been or where you're going!

I am delmer powys plebus gwent
of the planet zemo,

a man of considerable importance
on that planet,

perhaps not fully recognised
as the scientific genius I am.

I created this entity,

an extension of myself.

My entire personality is here

and combined with it is the superior
ability of a computer's brain

and all the might and power
known to our planet.

I am impervious to destruction

and powerful enough
to destroy an entire universe!

That is who I am,

delmer powys plebus gwent.

Well, delmer powys plebus gwent,
you have lost.

Don't!

Please.

You can expend your last energies
destroying us if you wish.

But in the end, you will die.

I misjudged you.

My experience over these years,

travelling the universe alone,

blind,

dependant on companion,

has left me untrusting,

suspicious, cynical,

perhaps paranoid.

You see, having built this,
yes, machine,

to preserve my personality,

I discovered too late
its inherent weakness.

I need company.

None of us exists
except in relation to others.

Alone, we cease
to have personalities.

Isolation.

Do you understand?

My dear gwent.

You were wrong from the beginning.

To attempt to preserve
one's personality

is the ultimate vanity.

Yes.

Yes, you're right.

It was vanity.

The first and last of all sins.

I would like to thank you.

I welcome my release.

The oxygen's going.

Gwent!

Open the door! Let us out!

Gwent!

We've been too successful.

He's killed himself.

And us with him.

Commander koenig.
Commander koenig.

Come in, commander.
Can you hear me?

Main mission
calling commander koenig.

Commander koenig.

Come in, commander.

Main mission
calling commander koenig.

Commander, what's happened?

Kano.

Gwent, he's dead.

We're locked in here.

We've despatched an eagle.

No use. You can't get in.

Gwent... save us.

No, not the lights.

Oxygen.

Oxygen.

Open the door.

- I'm all right.
- Are you sure?

Yeah. Yeah.

Goodbye, dear friends.

- Sure you're all right, sir?
- I'm fine.

He's alive.

It's coming straight towards us.

Quick, Sandra. Get him on visual.

He's not lifting up.

A lonely, blind creature
looking for his death.
