been Muller? - Down here? Well, he wasn't up on the ship. Where else would he be? - They said he was dead. - There were circuit faults. - Slave must have given a wrong diagnosis. - So he's alive. And apparently still violent. - Recovered? - Frostbite. Where is Orac? - I assumed Soolin had brought it in here. - And where is Soolin? Is something wrong? We have company. - Muller. - Alive? - And dangerous. - He is not violent. He is never violent! Tarrant was attacked on the ship and Dayna down here. You don't know him, he... There you are at last! Oh, my love, they said you were dead. Muller! Let her go! She's dead! Hold it right there. I said stop! (Hissing) I think we should get out of here. Get the box. - One gun could have been faulty but not two. - So? Muller must have some way of influencing circuits. All that trouble on the ship. And the Slave computer's incorrect diagnosis of Muller's condition. If it was incorrect. He's a pretty lively corpse, wouldn't you say? That's almost exactly what I'd say. Did you get a good look at his face? - How does he do it? - It's something to do with that. We must find out where Soolin has got to with Orac. We must scan that thing. Vila, you go with me. The two of you, keep Muller busy. Thank you. You wouldn't have a grenade with a percussion detonator would you? One that's immune to circuit influence? Exactly! Oh! Invite Muller for a stroll in the direction of the armoury. Be ready. - You'll have to do it without a scan. - No problem. - So do it! - Where are you going? I'll be back. (Footsteps approaching) (Footsteps approaching) SOOLIN: Is this a private game or can anyone play? - We've been looking for you. - In there? You should be a professional. - I am! - I know. Where's Orac? He can run a scan first. - Afraid not, sorry. - Why not? Orac's in hiding. - He's on his way. Ready? - Yes, I'm ready. Now. - Now he really is a corpse. - Wait! Tarrant, that's impossible! What is that thing? Where is Orac? Where is Orac? It's a head. Are you sure? Where are the sensors? - Looks primarily to be an inhibitor system. - For what? An android, presumably. And a fairly dangerous one by the look of these restraint circuit backups. What are they supposed to restrain? - Anti-social behaviour, I should imagine. - Like a conscience? - More or less. - Less if Muller's anything to go by. All right, so it's an android's head containing its conscience. So where's the rest of it? On its way. That was not Muller that you brought back with you. It was the android that he spent his life creating. - I think the head on it actually was Muller's. - What? But this is its real head, and without it, it has no restraint mechanism. No conscience. It's coming! No escape. You are powerless. Naked. - That thing has remote circuit control. - Guns tend to blow up. You are no longer masters but mastered. You will accept your destiny. Why the head? Why take your creator's head? You wanted Muller. You wanted his genius. You imagined you were getting him. So the head was to trick us. Just as the failure of the life support system tricked you into reopening the teleport unit. Why come to us? To fulfil our destiny. You mean your destiny and that of Ensor's first brainchild. Where is Orac? You plan to unite with Orac. One being. That could be a lot of power. To you, it will be God. That's not what Orac wants. Where is Orac? You are powerless. Once you have Orac, we are finished, enslaved. Enslavement or elimination. A clear choice. (Shouting) Where is Orac? I'll fetch it. - Where's Orac? - Behind a panel in section four. - We have to get Orac outside. - Why risk it? Slavery or elimination, you like those options? There is no way that we can destroy that thing. Muller made perfectly sure of that when he built in the circuit influencer. - That was real genius. - It cost him his head.
