could call Central.
If we were chickens,
we could lay eggs.
We're shadow-locked.
What do we do?
Sit and watch for three days?
He's getting low on charge.
He's about to recharge.
Let him.
- You can't...
- Oh, yes, we can. Alex?
We'll overload him. I'll give
him a headache he won't forget.
Track it.
Track it.
Can't see... I can't see it.
Now.
He's out. You'll have
no more trouble from him.
Or from you.
As soon as we declipse,
I'm reporting your incompetent
handling of this experiment.
You call me incompetent?
You said he'd function.
- You told me...
- On your say so.
- You said you could handle him!
- You put him together!
It's moving!
Hold him down.
Quick, get his brain out!
Hold onto his arm!
Dismantle it. Piece by piece.
Then crate it, and take him
and your ideas back with you.
What you can't stand, you run
from. Like you ran from Earth.
That's right. To get away
from people like you.
To set up
your own little universe?
To help feed yours.
And Alex,
were you thinking of her?
Captain, you flunked.
You want to kill me?
You want to kill me?
Go ahead...
Go ahead. Kill me.
Kill me! If you think you can.
Did you know the original Hector
came to a tragic end?
He was slain by Achilles,
his body dragged
around the walls of Troy.
You want the girl?
Sure, sure. You want the girl.
You think she's beautiful,
too, don't you?
You know the captain's crazy?
He really is crazy.
The robot scared me more.
If the robot can kill,
the captain can kill.
I thought I could kill.
I'm just not update enough
for murder.
I wish I was.
Are you sure
he's taking it apart?
Either he takes it apart
or it takes him apart.
Captain,
how are things progressing?
I have completed dismantling.
I'm glad that's over.
It's my fault. I should
never have let him stay.
In a week or two, we'll have
forgotten it ever happened.
- Will we?
- Of course we will.
I'm leaving.
I told you
never to barge in here.
- I'm taking her with me.
- What?
You are crazy.
Come along, Alex.
I'm taking command. You're
inadequate... in every area.
Captain, for the last time...
Doesn't it disgust you to be
used by an old man? Can't you...
Stop it! Stop it!
Stop it!
It's me.
Why did you stop me?
You're coming with me. The first
thing to do is see Earth.
Adam, how can we get
to the captain's ship?
We gotta be quick. Let's try.
- Now?
- Come on.
It's no use. We can't lose him.
Alex?
Alex?
Adam!
Shh!
Get back!
Run for it!
Where is he?
I don't know. He just vanished.
He's in the communications room.
He's tracking us.
Come in, Hector.
Come on. Come on in.
- Can you fly it?
- No trouble.
It'll be locked
into automatic return.
We just light up and sit back.
Now we know something.
He doesn't want to kill us.
Whatever he wants us for,
it's not for that.
It's hopeless.
You'll get your trip
to Earth. I promise.
The captain!
He's alive?
Yes, I'm alive.
Captain, what happened?
Hector and I have come
to an arrangement.
Where is the robot?
Hector is with me.
Come this way, please.
How strange
that it ends like this.
How will it end, Captain?
You and I will come
to an arrangement.
This way, please. This way.
Hurry along, please.
Hurry along, please.
I'm here.
I'm alive. I haven't died.
I'm taking over.
Good morning, Adam.
I trust you slept well?
What are you doing to me?
Your programme for the day
is very simple.
Where's Alex?
First, you will restore the
damage to the laboratory.
What are you putting in my head?
Put in? Put in?
I'm not putting anything in.
That comes later.
I'm taking it out.
Where's Alex?
What have you done to her?
Have you done
the same thing to her?
Good morning, Alex.
I hope you slept well.
Your programme
for the day is simple.
-After repairing the lab...
- Where's Adam?
I'm happy to report
he's cooperating fully.
Where is he? What's going on?
We're coming out of eclipse.
Excuse me for one moment.
Wait!
