1 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:47,714 Keldan Control, Keldan Control, this is Nova Queen on primary approach 0-4-0. 2 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,235 ReQuest orbital entry clearance. 3 00:00:55,360 --> 00:01:01,391 Nova Queen, Nova Queen, this is Keldan control. Maintain 0-4-0. Orbital entry is clear. 4 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:10,195 Keldan Control, this is Nova Queen. I have an unidentified trace on 0-4-0. 5 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,597 Nova Queen, this is Keldan Control. 6 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,515 Maintain 0-4-0 and switch to Computer Flight Coordination. 7 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:23,031 Switching to CFC, maintaining 0-4-0. 8 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,878 That ship is still coming at us. 9 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:36,837 Nova Queen, this is Keldan Control. The ship is an unmanned ore carrier on Computer Flight Coordination. 10 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,714 I hope you're sure about that, Keldan; it's still on 0-4-0. 11 00:01:42,960 --> 00:01:46,874 Nova Queen, computer control is confirmed. No problem. 12 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,954 You know that and I know that, but does the computer know that? 13 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,153 It'll switch vectors any time now. Relax. 14 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,679 I'll relax when it gets that ship off 0-4-0. 15 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:00,596 It will. 16 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:09,596 Keldan control, I have 4000 passengers on this ship and that ore carrier is still on 0-4-0. 17 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,470 Computer flight coordination doesn't make errors. 18 00:02:13,920 --> 00:02:18,711 To hell with that! Do something, Keldan. That thing is coming straight at us. 19 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,119 Keldan Control! 20 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,518 Nova Queen, switch to manual control, 21 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,276 engage emergency boosters and abort 0-4-0. Confirm please! 22 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,160 I can see it! My God, it's too late! 23 00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:34,190 Nova Queen, Nova Queen, this is Keldan Control, do you copy? 24 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,273 Nova Queen! Nova Queen, come in please! 25 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,434 Unfortunate. 26 00:02:52,640 --> 00:02:54,711 You do have a way with words, Supreme Commander. 27 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,315 I'm sorry, that was unnecessary. 28 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,474 Everyone on the Nova Queen died instantly of course, but it didn't end there. 29 00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:05,834 The ship's neutron drive unit broke free, survived the fall through the atmosphere. 30 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,119 It went critical just about the time it hit the surface. 31 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,477 Ground zero was slap in the middle of Keldan City. 32 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,075 Half the population was killed outright. 33 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,511 It was a computer malfunction, presumably. 34 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:18,830 Yes. 35 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:20,440 These things happen, Durkim. 36 00:03:20,640 --> 00:03:22,632 They're happening far too often, Supreme Commander. 37 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:27,596 Computer Flight Coordination is breaking down on 20 different worlds and the problem is spreading. 38 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,191 Are you saying it's a basic design fault? 39 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,831 No, that's not what I'm saying. Look. 40 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,630 That's the equatorial zone on Palmero. 41 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:38,790 Palmero? 42 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,794 Yes, and that is snow you're looking at, Supreme Commander. 43 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,475 It'll be some time before they re-establish themselves 44 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,997 as the Federation's main producer of tropical fruit. 45 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:54,158 And this, the plains of Suni. Mean temperature has gone up by twenty degrees. 46 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,717 It hasn't rained anywhere on that planet in sixty days. 47 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,511 When it does, the effect will be something like this. 48 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:05,034 The planet Vilka, where it hasn't stopped raining for sixty days. 49 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:10,756 The planet Herom. Carthenis. 50 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,919 Climate control has gone disastrously wrong on all the frontier worlds. 51 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,357 - And it's spreading? - Rapidly. 52 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,352 - Anything else? - Isn't that enough? 53 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,472 No, it's impossible, Durkim. 54 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,791 You mean unthinkable, don't you? 55 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,192 Look, everything you've just seen has one common denominator. 56 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,432 - Computers. - Not computers. Computer. Singular. 57 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,918 Very singular indeed. Our unbeatable control and coordination centre. 58 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:41,034 - No! - Servalan, by design or accident, Star One is failing. 59 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,118 - There has to be another explanation. - There isn't. 60 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,915 And if you want to keep your job you'll find it. 61 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,236 Why won't you face the facts? 62 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:56,800 Because I'm not convinced. And even if I were, there would be nothing I could do about it. 63 00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,317 Well, surely under the circumstances you could get clearance to put a team in. 64 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,672 Star One is the most secure installation in the Federation. 65 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,515 - I know that. - Do you know why it's so thoroughly secure? 66 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,919 Well, presumably because knowledge of its location is severely restricted. 67 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:15,837 No! Knowledge of its location is non-existent. 68 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:21,075 Durkim, no one knows where Star One is! No-one at all! 69 00:05:29,840 --> 00:05:33,629 So, if Lurgan's coordinates are correct Star One is somewhere in there. 70 00:05:33,840 --> 00:05:36,116 Which makes it about the only thing that is. 71 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,631 At least we'll recognise it when we see it, even if we don't recognise it when we see it, 72 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,440 if it's the only thing that's there, if you see what I mean. 73 00:05:42,840 --> 00:05:45,753 - Oh, shut up, Vila. - I'm just trying to help. 74 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:47,110 What do you think, Jenna? 75 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,309 It's riskier than it looks. These coordinates are not precise enough. 76 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:55,998 And however they built Star One it's not going to be so big that we can't miss it. 77 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:57,589 We'll probably have to search. 78 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,158 It's a long way out, Blake- a long way from the edge of the galaxy. 79 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:05,479 It's infinity. You're asking us to plunge out into infinity. 80 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,274 Now come on, Cally, that's a slight exaggeration. 81 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,672 Is it? What, the space between the island galaxies? 82 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,912 It's the nearest we'll come to infinity before we die. 83 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:18,911 If anything goes wrong out there we won't have a prayer, because nothing and nobody goes out that far. 84 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:20,640 I hadn't thought of it like that. 85 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,080 The Federation went out there. 86 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,074 We've only got Lurgen's word for that. And we didn't even get it first hand. 87 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,870 There is only Lurgen's word. Everybody else who knew is either dead or amnesiac. 88 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:34,394 One clue. Just one, and we have got it. Why are you listening to this drivel, Blake? 89 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,393 We can take Star One; let's get on with it. 90 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,879 Very stirring. When did you become a believer? 91 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,716 Are you just going to sit there? You have led them by the nose before. 92 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,714 'Scuse me, are you going to answer her question? 93 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:52,800 Show me someone who believes in anything and I will show you a fool. 94 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:54,997 I meant what I said on Goth, Avon. 95 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:59,677 We are not going to use Star One to rule the Federation; we are going to destroy it. 96 00:06:59,840 --> 00:07:03,390 I never doubted that. I never doubted your fanaticism. 97 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,680 As far as I am concerned you can destroy whatever you like. 98 00:07:06,840 --> 00:07:12,518 You can stir up a thousand revolutions; you can wade in blood up to your armpits. 99 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:17,556 Oh, and you can lead the rabble to victory, whatever that might mean. 100 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:25,117 Just so long as there is an end to it. When Star One is gone it is finished, Blake. 101 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:34,076 And I want it finished. I want it over and done with. I want to be free. 102 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,677 But you are free now, Avon. 103 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,515 I want to be free of him. 104 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:46,071 I never realised. You really do hate me, don't you? 105 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:58,313 When we have dealt with Star One, I will take you back to Earth and then the Liberator is mine, agreed? 106 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,873 Agreed. Assuming the others go along with it. 107 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:04,110 Why should we? 108 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,074 Yes, why should we? It's all a bit high-handed if you ask me. 109 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:13,396 Liberator is approaching sector nine. Navigation computers now reQuire further instructions. 110 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,830 Well, do we look for Star One? 111 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:22,796 We'll finish what we set out to do. Nothing else is settled. 112 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,719 - Are we fanatics? - Does it matter? 113 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,797 - Many, many people will die without Star One. - I know. 114 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,394 Are you sure that what we're going to do is justified? 115 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,036 It has to be. Don't you see, Cally? 116 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:48,353 If we stop now then all we have done is senseless killing and destruction. 117 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:52,912 Without purpose, without reason. We have to win. 118 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,835 It's the only way I can be sure that I was right. 119 00:08:58,200 --> 00:08:59,600 That you were right? 120 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:01,911 Course for sector eleven is laid in. 121 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,318 Detectors on full range. All readings are clear. 122 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,676 Weaponry system on standby. 123 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,319 Standard by six, Jenna. 124 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,671 Run course program, standard by six. 125 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:14,115 Confirm boundary. 126 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:20,919 Confirm Liberator is now crossing the theoretical boundary of the galaxy and is entering intergalactic space. 127 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,476 Increase speed to standard by twelve. 128 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,471 There's no doubt in your mind that he was telling the truth? 129 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:06,795 None, Supreme Commander. We didn't rush him. He was telling the truth all right. 130 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:12,513 Very well, interrogate the rest of his team just to make sure, and try not to kill them. 131 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,393 {DOOROPENS] 132 00:10:17,560 --> 00:10:19,517 Yes, Durkim, what is it? 133 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:23,236 I find that just a little distracting, Supreme Commander. 134 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:29,959 What's all this about? 135 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,720 - Time to defend ourselves. - Against whom? 136 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,799 Each other. Now what is it you want? Quickly, you're wasting time. 137 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,475 - There's an emergency meeting of the High Council. - I am aware of that. 138 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,597 I've been summoned to appear before it. 139 00:10:40,680 --> 00:10:42,990 You put Headquarters on full security restriction. 140 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,800 I can't get off this satellite without your direct clearance. 141 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:46,518 No. 142 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:50,514 'No' you agree with what I'm saying or 'no' you refuse my clearance? 143 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:55,920 Both. Now get back to your work. I am still waiting for your theories as to where Star One may be located. 144 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,318 That summons is a Presidential Order in Council. I have to go. 145 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:07,072 Space Command no longer recognises the authority of the President or of the Council. 146 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,757 I don't think I understand. 147 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,237 We are the only force capable of handling the present emergency. 148 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,079 I doubt if even we can do that. 149 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:21,878 The President and those members of the Council who are unable to accept the realities of the situation 150 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:28,674 are even now being arrested, as are those of our own people whose loyalties may be 'divided'. 151 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:33,312 At a time like this complete unity is an absolute essential. 152 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,592 There isn't enough data. I can't even guess where Star One is. 153 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,595 Then I suggest you try harder. Or I might think you're part of the plot. 154 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:42,240 - Plot? - Obviously... 155 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:46,155 ...someone is trying to destroy the Federation, now perhaps it's you. 156 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,431 Why would I want to do that? 157 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:56,632 'Why' is always the most difficult question. At the moment I am more concerned with 'how'. 158 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,429 - Is she involved? - You know her? 159 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:05,350 Her name's Lurena, I think... Isn't it? Ah, we were acquainted... 160 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,557 You were more than just acquaintances. 161 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,592 That's a long time ago. She emigrated to one of the frontier worlds. 162 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:14,399 She's on Star One. 163 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,360 She can't be, it's unmanned. The systems are automatic. 164 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:22,796 A group of scientists and technicians elected to spend the rest of their lives refining, 165 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:24,917 checking and guarding the systems. 166 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,796 Knowing they could never leave, never come home? That's appalling. 167 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:34,593 Inspiring, surely? In the best tradition of selfless devotion to the Federation. 168 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,514 That's your answer then. Some or all of them have changed their minds. 169 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:43,918 No. They were all screened and conditioned very carefully by our best psycho-manipulation teams. 170 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:49,356 None of the group could attempt to damage the systems, identify the location, 171 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:54,310 or contact anyone outside Star One without going obviously insane. 172 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:55,795 How can you be certain of that? 173 00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,670 The head of the psycho-manipulation team has just finished, 174 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,559 ...'reassuring' my interrogators. 175 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:08,669 So whatever is happening on Star One is happening against her will. 176 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:10,912 There's nothing I can do. 177 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:13,917 You get back to work, Durkim. 178 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:19,197 She may still have a chance.

Small, pale and very dense. 223 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:51,874 A white dwarf by the look of it. 224 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,191 You couldn't put a computer complex on that.

Now talk or scream, Travis, the choice is yours. 362 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:33,435 My preliminary examination of the defence zone indicates that it is made up of a network of satellite generators. 363 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:34,710 We could have told you that. 364 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:38,596 Each of which performs a dual function; 365 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:46,634 namely, to indicate the approach of an intruder and then to destroy that intruder by a powerful anti-matter implosion. 366 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,913 So it's a combined alarm system and minefield. 367 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:51,873 Correct. If I may continue? 368 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,236 He always makes me feel as if I should be taking notes. 369 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,113 If I may continue? 370 00:29:56,200 --> 00:30:02,276 The defence zone is controlled and monitored from the computer complex known as Star One. 371 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:03,351 Ahh. 372 00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,399 A cursory examination of the relevant Star One systems 373 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:10,679 indicates that this defence zone is one of a number of such zones 374 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:16,677 located at strategic points on the rim of that section of the galaxy colonised by mankind. 375 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,912 Then they are expecting an invasion? A hoard of hairy aliens. 376 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,033 There is no logical reason why aliens should be hairy. 377 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:24,993 There is no logical reason why people should be hairy. 378 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,231 I don't like this Jenna; we could be sitting in the front line. 379 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,318 I see no cause for alarm. 380 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:34,000 From the design and construction patterns it would appear 381 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:38,797 that the defence zones have been built up very gradually over a long period of time. 382 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:43,394 My conclusion is that they are merely precautionary 383 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:46,632 rather than a response to some specific threat. 384 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,270 Well if there's no threat why bother with precautions? 385 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:54,595 If the resources are available to eliminate even the vaguest threat, it would seem logical to do so. 386 00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:58,231 I'd agree with that. What do you call a vague threat? 387 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:03,595 A contact, sometime in the past, either a communication or a physical contact. 388 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,195 - A physical contact? - A scoutship, perhaps. 389 00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:09,512 A scoutship, perhaps! Like that one down on the surface now, perhaps! 390 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:11,798 Zen, put the battle computers online. 391 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:15,431 Confirmed, battle computers are online. 392 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,314 Give me maximum available range on the detectors. 393 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:33,560 What do you think is going on? 394 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,030 Well, they were waiting for Travis, so obviously he's expected to take over. 395 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:37,993 Except there's more to it than that. 396 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:39,998 Yes, the 'final act'. 397 00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,760 Well, whatever that is we've got a final act of our own to arrange. 398 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,032 You work your way through the other control rooms. 399 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,795 If anyone questions you be arrogant, you're with Travis, 400 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,429 and he's about to become Emperor of the galaxy. 401 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,836 - What about you? - I'll wait for Stott. 402 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,191 As long as he thinks I am Travis we'll have no problems. 403 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:59,400 Besides I might find even out the rest of it. I'm going to set this timer for one hour. 404 00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,120 Most of the systems have been modified already. 405 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:20,191 The chaos and destruction should already be sufficient to ensure that resistance is slight. 406 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,751 - When will you be ready for the ultimatum? - Ultimatum? 407 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:27,312 Laying out of our terms for the restoration of order. 408 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:31,800 Policy is not our concern, Travis. It is sufficient to serve. 409 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:03,079 I hope these people will really do as you tell them, Travis. 410 00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:07,155 - They will. - The first one who doesn't will cost you your head. 411 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:15,840 Don't move. 412 00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:35,396 Damn! 413 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,439 - They're all dead. - Yes, I can see that. Did you kill them? 414 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:55,715 - No. They are trying to kill me. - They have a novel approach to the job. 415 00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:57,036 You don't understand. 416 00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:01,353 In here they're dead, but out there, out there they're still alive, walking about. 417 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:03,552 - Trying to kill you? - Yes. 418 00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:05,632 Yes. 419 00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:07,350 Look out! 420 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:09,113 {GUNFIRE] 421 00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:34,320 What are they? 422 00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:39,356 Unfriendly. Which is fortunate, really. They'd be difficult to love. Come on. 423 00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:52,158 Nothing. There's nothing there. 424 00:34:52,240 --> 00:34:57,395 I knew we were panicking unnecessarily. Alien hordes, I mean to say. 425 00:34:57,560 --> 00:34:59,552 - There they are. - Where? Where? 426 00:34:59,720 --> 00:35:01,757 Just coming into detector range. 427 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:05,437 They're too far off to be sure. They could be meteors. 428 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:09,112 - They're ships. - No, they couldn't be, there's too many of them. 429 00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:13,599 That's a cloud of meteors. Well, come on Jenna, you can see that, admit it. 430 00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:17,834 That's a cloud of... big meteors. 431 00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:22,800 Very big meteors. And it's slowing down. 432 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,110 They know about the defence zone. 433 00:35:26,720 --> 00:35:30,634 Jenna, let's run for it. 434 00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:37,713 Is it nearly complete? 435 00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,112 As you see. 436 00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,670 Constructing the circuits required to deactivate the defence zone was difficult, 437 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:51,960 but we were able to keep the technicians alive long enough to duplicate their entire brain patterns 438 00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:53,833 as well as their physical shape. 439 00:35:54,240 --> 00:35:55,720 Their physical shape? 440 00:35:55,920 --> 00:36:00,119 Why do we still retain it?

But you. 447 00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:26,312 Why have you betrayed your own kind? 448 00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,473 Why have you given us the means to eradicate your species? 449 00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:33,549 - Eradicate humanity? - Virtually. 450 00:36:34,240 --> 00:36:35,674 Maybe I just don't like crowds. 451 00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:39,032 {LASERONBLAST] 452 00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,032 Travis... 453 00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:50,994 - You are Travis? - I am Travis. 454 00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:53,957 Then who is this? 455 00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:56,751 His name is Blake. 456 00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:02,155 His name WAS Blake. 457 00:37:06,720 --> 00:37:08,632 {GUNFIRE] 458 00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:17,673 - Where's Blake? - I left him in here. 459 00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:20,160 What's that? 460 00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:23,074 We seem to have stumbled over an alien invasion. 461 00:37:23,240 --> 00:37:26,119 Which of these control sections handles the defence zone? 462 00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:28,840 I can't tell you that. 463 00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:32,112 You must know.
