customer should be with you any time now.
I can see them now. Be ready, Vila.
- Aren't I always?
- No, you're not.
They're on their way.
All right, everyone move back
from the gold, slowly.
Don't make any sudden moves.
Quite still, Keiller!
I've been waiting
for a chance to kill you, Servalan.
Servalan?
Congratulations, Avon. I see you worked it out.
Keiller was once on the personal security staff
of the president of the Federation.
That just had to be you.
It wasn't hard to work out.
It wasn't meant to be, was it?
- I don't know what you mean.
- You wouldn't leave me a clue like that.
Not unless you really wanted to.
You knew I wouldn't be able to resist it.
You planned everything, every move.
You even knew that Keiller would disobey you,
and you hoped
that I would trust him because of that.
Very good.
I almost did trust Keiller.
When I found out it was you,
I knew I was safe from him at least.
After all, he has nothing to gain from obeying you.
Only in the end it occurred to me
that he might possibly imagine
that you would keep your side of the bargain
and pay him his reward instead of just killing him.
He doesn't know you as well as I do.
Who does?
Avon, would you be careful with the gun?
My guards have orders to shoot you first.
The price of my life would be yours.
Well now.
The sacrifice might be worthwhile.
You're not the sacrificial type.
You're right. We'll do business as arranged.
That was very good bait, the black gold.
I knew you'd like it.
But I shouldn't imagine it's much use to you now.
You'll just have to confess and pay up.
- We're ready, Vila.
- Avon, what about me?
We can't take you with us, old friend.
Vila was right. We can't trust you.
So we're leaving you. To her.
I'm sorry. I did my best.
What do we do now?
Load the gold. Watch him.
I don't suppose I'll get paid now, will I, Servalan?
What use would money be to you here?
You're not gonna...
Servalan, nobody lives here.
There's no shelter, no food.
I mean, you couldn't leave me here alone?
Well, will you look at that? Two billion each.
- I've never seen currency of that size.
- Neither have I!
I just can't believe my eyes.
Avon?
Why didn't you tell us that you knew
who it was who was setting us up?
Would it have made any difference if I had?
You know damn well it would.
Servalan's not just some greedy gangster.
Surely that is exactly what she is.
Avon, you took risks with our lives.
For ten billion in cash
and an outside chance of killing Servalan.
- Would you rather I hadn't?
- ORAC: It was not sensible!
What's that supposed to mean?
Within the last few hours,
Zerok has ceded to the Federation.
So that black gold will be of use to Servalan.
The Federation doesn't know how she's got it.
She's made herself a good profit.
It's worse than that unfortunately.
Worse?
The Federation banking system
will now take over that of Zerok.
All bank notes drawn by the Bank of Zerok
will be declared invalid within seven days,
and all private transactions will be illegal directly.
The consequences of this are clear.
Yes, they're clear, all right. Aren't they, Avon?
We've just risked our lives for nothing.
Not for nothing, Tarrant.
We risked our lives to make Servalan rich.SLAVE: We are now stationary, Master,
10 miles above the planet Malodar.
What is the surface analysis, Slave?
Nitrogen, methane and argon predominate.
Also traces of free ammonia
and sulphur compounds.
It is unsuitable
for your illustrious life form, Master.
He thinks it stinks, too.
I make the surface temperature
minus 90 to a 100.
- Cold at night then.
- You can tell us when you get back.
- The message was for you.
- I get chilblains, Tarrant.
Why not?
Shouldn't he have some kind of backup, Avon?
That kind of environment...
I was hoping you would volunteer.
(Sighing)
All right, I'm a volunteer.
Do I hear three? No, I didn't think I would.
You know I like to stick with you, Avon,
where it's
