straight from the start,
I don't mean you any harm, not personally.
I'm sure you're a miracle of engineering
and I bet you're not as bad-tempered as Orac.
I just want one of your circuits, that's all.
Now you've got plenty to spare, so there's no need
for us to get into a fight about it.
- Gambit.
- Yes, Belkov?
- Give me a security scan.
- Security scan operative.
- Mining area?
- Three.
- Main entrance?
- Eleven.
- What's Commissioner Sleer doing?
- Thirteen.
- Tarrant and the others?
- Fourteen.
- Orbiter?
- Twenty-one.
- Good, that's the lot.
- Security scan completed.
- Gambit.
- Yes, Belkov?
I'm leaving this planet. I have to.
There's nothing for me here now.
Prepare Alpha Three for takeoff.
Start countdown as soon as possible.
Launching preparations underway.
I can't take you with me.
I need you to finish off things here.
When I'm clear of Mecron atmosphere,
go to Condition Red.
When all other tasks have been performed...
(Anxiously) Yes?
Look, I can't take you with me.
You can see that, can't you?
You're needed here,
but you can't be left intact either.
After all the trouble I've been
to destroy the evidence,
I can hardly leave you
with memory banks full of it, can I?
Is there some other function
you wish me to carry out?
When all other tasks have been performed
go to self-destruct sequence as programmed.
- Gambit.
- Yes, Belkov?
I shall miss you.
I don't suppose that concept
could possibly mean anything to you.
I just thought I'd mention it.
Look, you'll probably say it's none of my business,
but if somebody told me to kill myself for them,
they'd get a short answer.
Are you just programmed to respond to Belkov?
Can you hear me?
Can you talk to me?
Would you like to play something?
I'm programmed for all games.
That's very kind of you, madam,
but not at the moment, thanks.
Look, if you're programmed to defend yourself,
surely you shouldn't self-destruct.
The self-destruct sequence overrides all others.
That seems a bit of a waste.
If you could let me have that circuit I mentioned,
it'd be a sort of way for you to live on, wouldn't it?
That'd be much better than
being blanked out forever.
I must complete all tasks set.
Yes, of course,
but if you could let me have that circuit
and any chance of security scan fourteen again?
Security scan fourteen.
Do you require voice contact?
That wouldn't be a bad idea,
and if you could open the door,
that would be even better.
VILA: Tarrant, this is your one-man backup team.
I think it's time we got out of here.
- Where are you, Vila?
- Belkov's living quarters.
We'll be right there.
(Vila whistling)
(Alarm ringing)
Avon, can you hear me?
Avon? I don't believe this.
- Gambit!
- Yes, Vila?
- Is there another way out of here?
- Scan seventeen.
This leads to the mining area.
There is some damage.
It is extensive, but not impassable.
We'll risk it.
Come on!
Avon, bring us up quick.
Are you ready to explain why you
betrayed your position of trust, Gerren?
It... It was Belkov.
He was the one that betrayed the Federation.
I see.
And you've been associating with rebels
in order to expose him, is that it?
He didn't send back
more than half of the Feldon that was mined.
He kept it for himself.
He's been doing it for years.
Odd how you never mentioned that before.
All right, I admit I wanted to get in on it myself
at first, but now...
Now you're frightened and you need medical help.
And you think information might save you.
The crystals are in the Orbiter.
But Belkov's booby-trapped it,
so he thinks they're safe.
There must be a billion in crystals up there.
Maybe more.
Anything else?
AVON: Dayna,
we're down safe in Orbiter and proceeding.
GAMBIT: Countdown,
12 minutes, 20 seconds and running.
What does that mean?
I imagine it means that if we're not out of here
by the time it hits zero, we might regret it.
GAMBIT: Control system feedback
is through the weapon.
