00:02:05 Connect the artificial kidney.
00:02:10 Connect the drips.
00:02:13 Switch the heart to the natural power supply
00:03:14 You'll take him while in hibernation,
00:03:18 Nortronix inteltronists would do anything
00:03:23 Good. I'd feel uncomfortable travelling with him being... alive.
00:03:27 He's just like me and you in every way.
00:03:30 Well, almost every way.
00:03:31 Besides you'll have to get used to him eventually.
00:03:42 - Good luck!

00:07:40 So, The initial elimination left us with two candidates
00:07:45 Commander Kent, whom we saw yesterday,
00:07:51 Both are exquisite pilots
00:07:55 And both theoretically, at least for the time being,
00:08:00 Talking about Pirx...
00:08:01 We know him as a man of total honesty.
00:08:04 Let me remind you of the Vega rescue operation...
00:08:07 ...during which he discovered a sequence of errors in one of the lines.
00:08:13 Well gentlemen, as a human being he has got some weaknesses.
00:08:18 But, returning to Kent...
00:08:22 ...and trusted by United Atomic Laboratories
00:08:25 Yes, and that's why we're supporting Kent as the candidate.
00:08:30 His positive report
00:08:32 would be enough for the UN Commission and UNESCO
00:08:36 And then we can go ahead with the mass production
00:08:39 which is the main purpose of our experiment.
00:08:42 The involvement of someone like Pirx in our programme...
00:08:45 It's sort of... risky...
00:08:48 ...a gamble
00:08:49 Personally, as the representative of Cybertronics, I think that...
00:08:53 ...a pilot with such a reputation for honesty, like Pirx,...
00:08:58 ...it doesn't matter if he'll do it consciously or not
00:09:00 If he's going to be on our side, we'll have the best argument
00:09:06 And what if Pirx's report is negative?
00:09:09 We all know, and we can speak openly...
00:09:12 ...that some of our products have got faults.
00:09:15 It could end in a disaster...
00:09:18 ... of unimaginable magnitude.
00:09:21 Because we have some disagreement
00:09:25 Who would like to see Commander Pirx involved in our programme?
00:09:32 On behalf of United Atomic Laboratories, I strongly disagree
00:09:51 The result was positive
00:09:55 Now it's up to you, Director...
00:09:56 ...to have Commander Pirx agree to his involvement in our...
00:09:59 ...I can say it without hesitation...
00:10:01 it is OUR programme.
00:11:03 That was slower than when we were on the moon.
00:11:07 But at least we didn't have the spacesuits on.
00:11:11 Let's hurry - the weather's changing.
00:11:28 Apparently sometimes on mountaintops, even at noon,
00:11:33 We'll see for ourselves tomorrow.
00:11:35 The way you're talking, you'd have thought
00:11:37 We'll be able to watch them from the earth for the whole month.
00:11:40 They look better from the earth.
00:12:04 Commander, an urgent message for you.
00:12:16 I must return immediately.
00:12:18 But you're on vacation.
00:12:19 It's an order
00:12:21 That's a pity - we could have had a nice month.
00:14:25 - Here we are.
00:14:43 - Commander Pirx?
00:14:45 We've been waiting for you. Please take a seat.
00:14:50 I'm busy now, and not available to anyone.
00:14:59 Commander...
00:15:01 I have an original proposition - even an experiment.
00:15:03 What I'm about to say
00:15:07 ...even if you refuse
00:15:10 Do you agree?
00:15:10 Not unless you tell me more.
00:15:14 I understand, you aren't the kind of man
00:15:17 I would have expected that,
00:15:20 ...but that's even better.
00:15:21 I'm talking about an experimental flight
00:15:24 A new type of spaceship?
00:15:26 No, a new type of crew.
00:15:29 A crew?
00:15:30 But I don't understand what my role will be.
00:15:34 A thorough assessment of its usefullness
00:15:38 That's all I can tell you at the moment.
00:15:40 It's your decision.
00:15:43 I can't accept this offer
00:15:46 But why?
00:15:48 Because of my own conscience.
00:15:50 I cannot assess someone
00:15:55 Well then. Time for lunch...
00:15:59 ...and then I'll take you to our centre where you can find out more.
00:16:02 As you can see, I'll agree to anything.
00:16:05 Good. I wonder what you've come up with.
00:16:13 We're interested in introducing...
00:16:15 ...a new automatic satellite...
00:16:18 ... into Saturn's orbit.
00:16:20 It's not an ordinary mission.
00:16:22 Recently, the USSR and USA...
00:16:24 ...have begun production of humanoid apparatus...
00:16:28 so-called 'non-linears'.
00:16:30 They are used mainly to operate extra-terrestrial space flights.
00:16:33 Indeed, I've heard about it.
00:16:35 That's even better, so what's your opinion?
00:16:38 It's complete nonsense.
00:16:41 They will...
00:16:42 Exactly. The companies who produce 'non-linears'...
00:16:45 ...have to consider the objections of the Pilots Association,
00:16:50 That's why they've handed over a few prototypes...
00:16:53 ...to test their usefullness for extra-terrestrial flight.
00:16:58 Handed over to whom, exactly?
00:17:03 Us. Meaning, UNESCO.
00:17:05 The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation.
00:17:07 What do these robots have to do with culture or education?
00:17:11 This so-called invasion of robots, produced on a mass scale...
00:17:15 will have a big influence on worlwide human culture.
00:17:20 Well, listen to a representative of an electronic company
00:17:24 speaking at the last secret General Assembly
00:17:41 "Let's not be afraid of purely economical consequences...
00:17:44 ...the danger of unemployment, ...
00:17:47 ...or even psychological, cultural or social impact.
00:17:51 Losses which, apparently, could be caused by 'non-linears'.
00:17:56 The most important thing is...
00:18:00 ...that on extra-terrestrial flights use of 'non-linears'...
00:18:03 is far safer than the use of human crew.
00:18:09 Their reactions are much faster than of a human.
00:18:12 They have almost no need for sleep, and they do not tire.
00:18:15 They do not fall ill.
00:18:18 Even when substantially damaged they still function.
00:18:23 Further, they do not require oxygen or food.
00:18:28 They can even carry out their duties...
00:18:32 ...on board decompressed and over-heated spaceships.
00:18:36 You should understand that we are not motivated by profit...
00:18:42 ...but the safety od space travel.
00:18:46 Not only privately-owned airlines...
00:18:50 ...but those of socialist countries and members of the UN...
00:18:54 ...should vote to support our decision.
00:18:59 Enough for now.
00:19:01 If those robots are really that good...
00:19:04 ...sooner or later, your firm
00:19:06 And what will change if UNESCO oversee technical control of those firm's production?
00:19:12 Commander, it's not about technical control...
00:19:15 ...rather the psychological aspect.
00:19:17 I need to tell you the rest.
00:19:20 We would like to offer you a flight with such a crew.
00:19:24 You would be in command.
00:19:26 During the flight, you'd be able to assess
00:19:31 - And that would be all I would have to do?
00:19:35 - OK, but I have on more question.
00:19:39 What will be the consequences of my assessment?
00:19:42 It will be decisive.
00:19:43 For whom?
00:19:45 For us, of course - UNESCO.
00:19:48 We will publish your assessment in the global media.
00:19:51 If your findings are negative,
00:19:58 And if it's positive - what then?
00:20:02 Well, we are not a government...
00:20:06 ...so we cannot stop anyone from building machines.
00:20:09 There have been some government's that tried to do so, and failed.
00:20:13 The church couldn't do anything either...
00:20:15 ...and you know how strongly it opposed.
00:20:18 So, no one really likes this idea.
00:20:23 Why is it so?
00:20:25 Anyway, you still haven't explained - why me?
00:20:29 We have considered many pilots.
00:20:32 We realised that if there were any objections...
00:20:35 ...bearing in mind your own reservations,
00:20:40 Of course you can refuse.
00:20:43 But if we were to do the same...
00:20:45 ...it would be like Pilate's gesture.
00:20:47 Because, the easiest thing would be to wash our hands of this.
00:20:48 But, at the end of the day, we are not helpless.
00:20:50 And the least we can do is that experiment.
00:20:53 So, please make up your mind and contact us
00:20:59 OK
00:21:15 Hello?
00:21:19 But it wasn't my fault.
00:21:22 I was doing everything I could.
00:21:25 Of course, I fully realise it.
00:21:29 A negative assessment means our company's bankruptcy.
00:21:33 Yes, we need to use any means necessary.
00:21:37 I understand.
00:21:49 It's Mitchell. We need to find Pirx now.
00:22:00 We're above road number 73.
00:22:03 We've located the subject.
00:22:08 We're observing the subject continuously.
00:22:12 It's good that you found him.
00:22:16 You've proven yourself.
00:22:21 The choice of method... I will leave to you.
00:28:27 Green here.
00:28:29 It's Pirx, I accept.
00:28:50 In 24 hours he'll fully regain consciousness.
00:28:54 He can be included with the humans in the crew.
00:28:58 My job is finished.
00:29:00 Well, to be left with him on my own...
00:29:03 Nonsense. He's got the intelligence and education of a human being.
00:29:10 What if he goes out of control?
00:29:14 Even the human brain and its abilities are not fully understood...
00:29:18 ...he has an even bigger capacity.
00:29:26 I wish you luck.
00:29:44 Commander Pirx, please proceed to room 207.
00:30:02 - Hello, my name is...
00:30:06 - Are they here?
00:30:09 - Have you seen them?
00:30:13 What are they like?
00:30:15 There's five of them. One spoke to me.
00:30:18 Completely unlike any robot. Completely.
00:30:21 If I met him on the street...
00:30:25 ...I wouldn't even think...
00:30:28 But when I looked up close,
00:30:35 Here we are. Good luck.
00:30:38 - After you.
00:31:06 My name is McGuirr. I had the pleasure of travelling with you,
00:31:11 No, I don't.
00:31:12 Gentlemen, this is your Commander, Mr Pirx.
00:31:16 And this is your crew, Commander.
00:31:21 First pilot - John Calder.
00:31:25 Neurology and cybernetics, Tom Nowak.
00:31:33 Electronics, Jan Otis.
00:31:40 Second pilot, Harry Brown.
00:31:44 And nucleonoid engineer, Kurt Weber.
00:31:48 And now, I'd like to talk with you.
00:31:59 To avoid misunderstanding
00:32:01 I'd like to clarify that some of them do have natural parents.
00:32:06 And some don't.
00:32:08 They all know where they come from,...
00:32:10 ...but don't know about each other's origin.
00:32:12 Of course, they will follow your orders.
00:32:16 In professional and personal relationships
00:32:21 They have been instructed...
00:32:24 ...that when questioned about who they are...
00:32:25 they answer 'I'm an ordinary human being'
00:32:28 Yes, but I shouldn't be asking them such questions.
00:32:31 No, but you will have to bear in mind
00:32:44 Don't you think that someone's trying to make a fool out of me?
00:32:47 No, not at all.
00:32:51 You were told that it will be a new type of crew,
00:32:54 We wanted to avoid any possibility of prejudice...
00:32:58 ...from your side.
00:33:00 You've explained it to me very nicely.
00:33:03 Nevertheless, I don't think you've been honest with me.
00:33:07 I won't change my mind, though.
00:33:09 I was expecting that.
00:33:13 So, with your permission, I'll talk with...
00:33:15 my...people.
00:33:18 Go ahead, you can talk to them.
00:33:30 Brown.
00:33:32 Do you believe in God?
00:33:38 It's not part of my duties.
00:33:39 You haven't answered my question.
00:33:42 I said that it's not part of my duties.
00:33:44 As your Commander, it's up to me to decide
00:33:49 Well, if it's an order I can say
00:33:53 Please, think carefully about the question.
00:33:55 Depending on your answer,
00:33:59 Calder...You're a pilot. For how long?
00:34:02 I completed my training.
00:34:08 4 on the moon, 2 on Venus and 2 Mars.
00:34:11 Otis.
00:34:15 How many Roentgen's of radiation can you withstand per hour?
00:34:18 About 400, I think. Same as an ordinary human.
00:34:23 But I'd have to go into treatment afterwards.
00:34:24 How about more than 400?
00:34:27 I don't know. I don't think so.
00:34:29 Where were you born?
00:34:31 Up North, beyond the Polar circle.
00:34:39 Everyone - except Brown - I consider members of my crew.
00:34:43 Brown will answer my question tomorrow.
00:34:47 That is all.
00:34:53 Commander Pirx and McGuirr are requested in the Control Room.
00:34:58 Thank you.
00:35:00 And now the Programme Director will explain the details...
00:35:03 ...of your crew's mission.
00:35:12 You have no idea how glad I am...
00:35:14 ...that you accepted befeore the deadline we had given you.
00:35:18 Do you want to know why?
00:35:22 Well, I think you have decided...
00:35:24 ...because you realised how important this programme is.
00:35:27 No. It wasn't only that.
00:35:29 Somebody tried to stop me from taking part.
00:35:32 I don't understand.
00:35:32 Someone tried to kill me.
00:35:35 - Impossible.
00:35:36 They set a trap. Luckily, I escaped.
00:35:40 If I'd been killed,
00:35:44 But who would do such a thing?
00:35:46 Someone who is against my involvement.
00:35:50 And that's why I accepted.
00:35:53 I don't like others taking decisions from me.
00:35:57 Now I'll introduce you to the technical side of the Yoyana project.
00:36:00 Please.
00:36:07 You've underestimated us, Commander.
00:36:08 What does that mean?
00:36:10 Our boys cannot be distinguished so easily.
00:36:14 How do you know all this?
00:36:16 Who are you?
00:36:17 Do you think I'm the designer?
00:36:20 I work in public relations.
00:36:22 But are you competent enough to answer my questions?
00:36:26 Of course.
00:36:28 Do the members of my crew, who aren't human...
00:36:32 ...behave like humans?
00:36:33 - Yes.
00:36:34 - Yes, they do.
00:36:35 - What for?
00:36:37 For those who are around them.
00:36:39 What about blood?
00:36:41 I asked you if they have blood?
00:36:44 They have something similar to blood.
00:36:46 What do you mean?
00:36:47 Only a specialist, after thorough testing,
00:36:51 And I wouldn't?
00:36:52 No, you wouldn't. Unless you have...
00:36:55 - an x-ray device?
00:36:56 You guessed, but you won't have one...
00:37:00 ...on board.
00:37:02 There are devices that can detect defects.
00:37:03 You can get any amount of isotopes from the reactor.
00:37:04 From an atomic pile, you can derive as many isotopes as you want.
00:37:06 Commander, you're trying to make our job as difficult as possible.
00:37:09 Of course! To make mine easier.
00:38:03 You need to realise that it's not just to trick you...
00:38:07 that we started a multi-billion dollar production.
00:38:10 It was us who put the brains in the heads.
00:38:12 If I'm not mistaken, it was nature.
00:38:14 OK then, we were second. But the details are secret.
00:38:17 And is everything else a secret?
00:38:19 What do you mean?
00:38:20 Are they capable of lying?
00:38:23 Yes, anything's possible.
00:38:25 But less likely to happen
00:38:27 How can you be so certain?
00:38:29 How amusing! We've performed experiments.
00:38:32 And the humans were laboratory rats?
00:38:34 Of course.
00:38:35 - Even if they could result in death?!
00:38:37 Interesting.
00:38:39 And the results?
00:38:41 Humans are less reliable.
00:38:43 Poor, poor humans.
00:38:47 And what would happen if...
00:38:50 ...I tried to bash their heads in?
00:38:51 He would defend himself.
00:38:53 - Until I'm dead!
00:38:55 And what if attack is the only means of defence?
00:38:58 Then he will attack you.
00:39:02 Give me the contract. I agree.
00:39:04 Here you are. Good luck.
00:39:07 You can tell your superiors
00:39:13 Commander?
00:39:18 You're a brave man, But, for your own sake...
00:39:21 ...I advise caution.
00:39:23 So I won't be finished off by the robots?
00:39:25 Not robots - it's the humans who will fail first.
00:39:27 Your plain old Joes. Do you understand?
00:39:31 And robots? What do you really want from them?
00:39:34 They're specialists. They'll do anything for you.
00:39:36 I'll get them to do even more.
00:40:48 One whisky, please.
00:40:50 Whisky?
00:40:55 Here you are.
00:41:07 Tonic water, please.
00:41:12 - Telephone for you.
00:41:15 Hello?
00:41:16 Pirx here. Well?
00:41:24 I haven't had much time.
00:41:27 All I can say is, all things considered...
00:41:32 've come to the conclusion that there is a 90% chance...
00:41:36 ...or even 99%, that God doesn't exist.
00:41:40 So there is a 1% chance that he exists.
00:41:44 That God exists?
00:41:46 Good. You can come on board with the others.
00:41:51 - See you soon.
00:42:03 - What do you drink?
00:42:24 - It's time to say goodbye.
00:42:29 - Ah, one more thing ...
00:42:33 I need to let you know in advance,
00:42:37 A black box?
00:42:39 Yes. It will survive in the event of a crash.
00:42:42 Then we could use it, instead of testimonies.
00:42:44 The countdown has started. I should go.
00:42:47 I wish you the best of luck.
00:43:04 We've done all we had to.
00:43:06 The rest is up to Pirx.
00:43:09 There's one thing that bothers me.
00:43:12 Pirx decided to fly because he miraculously avoided being killed.
00:43:15 Do you think our part of the crew could rebel? That's nonsense.
00:43:18 I don't know... I don't know.
00:43:20 If it came to that, God help Pirx and the human crew.
00:44:12 Get ready for docking procedure.
00:46:54 Start the engines.
00:46:56 Yes Sir, starting engines.
00:47:05 Plasma: 814.
00:47:08 Ionisation: 523.
00:47:12 Reaction starting.
00:47:18 Full ahead.
00:47:25 Full ahead in 30 seconds.
00:47:31 Novak, turn on the take-off shield.
00:47:34 Turning the shield on.
00:47:51 Full ahead in 10 seconds.
00:48:45 Please, turn on the auto-pilot.
00:48:49 After the briefing you will keep watch.
00:48:52 ...then by me, Novak, Otis and Weber.
00:48:54 Please, move on to your duties.
00:48:56 In half an hour in the control room...
00:48:58 I'll reveal all the details concerning the flight.
00:49:20 Goliath has two automatic probes on board.
00:49:23 Our goal is to send a probe into Cassini's crevice.
00:49:27 It's not that easy.
00:49:31 Yes, theoretically it is about 3,500 km wide,
00:49:35 ...are covered with a thick layer of icy stardust...
00:49:38 ...which would scorch every ship that comes near.
00:49:41 The passage way is about 500 km wide.
00:49:47 Passing between the rings is practically impossible.
00:50:10 We will send there only the first probe,
00:50:15 ...since it has its own ionic propulsion.
00:50:17 The first probe will be controlled by the second one.
00:50:24 As you can see, our task is fairly simple.
00:50:27 As long as we don't have any unpleasant surprises from the ship...
00:50:35 ...or the crew.
00:51:43 Show me the possible causes of the mission's failure.
00:51:49 Pilot's error, touching the sides of Cassini's crevice.
00:51:57 What's the possibility of taking the ship out of the crevice, without touching the sides?
00:52:02 Instant deceleration and escape into space
00:52:07 Stop! Danger! Manoeuvre impossible with humans on board,
00:52:15 Show me the situation...
00:52:18 ...which would force the pilot to enter Cassini's crevice.
00:52:31 Can I speak with you?
00:52:37 Please, come in.
00:52:44 I'd like to tell you something.
00:52:47 But...
00:52:49 ...this conversation cannot leave this room.
00:52:51 Agreed.
00:52:53 I promise that it will remain a secret.
00:52:56 I'm listening.
00:53:03 I am... human.
00:53:10 I'm telling you this because I want to help you.
00:53:12 Because it all comes down to basic human solidarity.
00:53:17 I cannot be silent when it concerns human well-being.
00:53:21 You'd do the same, wouldn't you?
00:53:25 We were kept separately all the time.
00:53:28 We were allowed to contact
00:53:31 That's why I don't really know who is human and who isn't.
00:53:34 But I suspect...
00:53:38 So why, when asked about whether you believe in God,
00:53:42 ...and that it's not part of your duties.
00:53:47 I wanted to stay on the mission.
00:53:50 Any direct answer would be risky,
00:53:54 So do you believe in God?
00:53:56 Yes.
00:53:57 And you think that a robot cannot?
00:54:00 Maybe you think that robots can have children?
00:54:03 Okey, let's leave it
00:54:06 Yes... I think that...
00:54:09 technician Otis is not human.
00:54:12 These are of course little things
00:54:15 When he sits or stands, he doesn't move at all, ...
00:54:19 ... and you know very well that
00:54:25 Sometimes, when he realizes that, he makes a few moves then freezes again.
00:54:29 Yeah. Anything else?
00:54:31 - He'll eat anything.
00:54:34 Whatever is served. He doesn't care one bit.
00:54:37 After all, we all have our preferences.
00:54:41 - Why haven't you kept your word?
00:54:47 You swore to remain silent about your origin.
00:54:54 I am to receive a reasonable sum of money
00:54:58 I did promise, but I also think
00:55:01 ...when not keppeing a promise is one's duty.
00:55:04 And you think that this is such a situation?
00:55:06 Of course! What's more...
00:55:08 ...any decent human being would do the same.
00:55:12 You're the first.
00:55:14 But we barely took off.
00:55:16 I would like to help you during the mission.
00:55:18 Why?
00:55:19 It will be hard for you to find out who is who.
00:55:27 And what's your personal interest in this denunciation?
00:55:35 Don't leave! Listen to me carefully.
00:55:39 Let's assume that thanks to you I know
00:55:42 So what?
00:55:44 You think I would treat him differently?
00:55:46 That I would praise the ones who were human,
00:55:51 It seems you don't believe me?
00:55:54 You think that...
00:55:56 - ...you think that I could be...
00:55:59 ...but if you've already said what you shouldn't have,....
00:56:02 ...it's not worth playing cat and mouse.
00:56:05 I thank you for your sincerity... is there anything else?
00:56:23 - I'm back.
00:57:50 - You can put you clothes on, everything's fine.
00:58:06 Thank you. I would like to ask you something.
00:58:09 Yes?
00:58:11 Could you, by conducting some tests...
00:58:16 ...determine who among the crew...
00:58:17 No, this could only be determined surgically.
00:58:25 Sir,...
00:58:32 ... I would like to confess something.
00:58:36 I'm not human.
00:58:39 Sorry?
00:58:41 I'm not human, but during the experiment
00:58:47 Why??
00:58:49 It's quite simple, my motives are purely egoistic.
00:58:54 If you praise us - nonlinears - in your report...
00:58:57 ...we will be mass-produced and we will dominate all trades,
00:59:02 But as long there are only a few of us...
00:59:07 ...our perspectives are no different than those of normal humans.
00:59:10 The only difference being that we are more talented.
00:59:13 Well, it is logical, but aren't you afraid
00:59:18 ...if you don't get my praise.
00:59:20 No, I'm not afraid of that, I'm very valuable.
00:59:22 More valuable than a supersonic bomber.
00:59:24 That's why a negative opinion is not a danger to me.
00:59:26 So, could you reveal who among the crew...
00:59:30 No... I mean I'm not sure.
00:59:33 ...and apart from that...
00:59:36 - What else do you want to know?
00:59:40 Okay, I have nothing to hide.
00:59:43 Have you ever experienced a reaction like...
00:59:46 ...bewilderment, fear, disgust when...
00:59:50 ...someone would find out that you're not human.
00:59:54 Yes, once. When I assisted during an operation.
00:59:58 A nurse didn't know who I was.
01:00:02 Nurse, scalpel.
01:00:16 Noooo! Noooo!
01:00:26 Yeah... and what did you feel then.
01:00:30 I don't feel much at all. I was a little uneasy.
01:00:34 I got an impression
01:00:39 Please tell me... what is your attitude toward your creators?
01:00:43 That is... to humans.
01:00:45 I'm glad I'm alive.
01:00:47 My creators weren't able to predict lots of things.
01:00:50 I am grateful because, after all...
01:00:52 ... it's better to be a machine
01:01:14 Do you remember the moment of your birth?
01:01:16 I didn't go through all the development stages, and
01:01:21 What do you mean?
01:01:22 It means that the world of cities, streets, family life...
01:01:27 ...is your only reality.
01:01:29 For me it's laughable.
01:01:31 I see nothing laughable about this.
01:01:33 And what do you think of God?
01:01:36 I was created by science
01:01:39 Nonrelative time, space, immortal soul...
01:01:43 Quite a few things you need to regard as absolute.
01:01:45 What else fo you find so conventional?
01:01:48 What do they mean to you?
01:01:51 They all mean nothing to me!
01:01:53 However, I benefit from them.
01:01:56 I have other ethics.
01:01:58 In fact, quite similar to yours.
01:02:00 For the time being I need it.
01:02:01 For the time being?
01:02:04 Technical progress ravages your morality.
01:02:08 Who knows how long you'll keep with your ethics.
01:02:12 Excuse me.
01:02:45 Why do they eat?
01:02:47 Only to prove that they are human?
01:02:51 But it's laughable!
01:02:53 It's even more conventional
01:02:57 Yep, but the only laughable person at the moment is me.
01:03:01 They eat, talk. Everything seams natural, common.
01:03:05 Everyone of them is human yet a robot at the same time.
01:03:08 Maybe they all simply want to fool me.
01:03:11 Maybe Novak is just a plain physician...
01:03:13 ... and Brown only pretends to be human.
01:03:16 Is there any way out of it?
01:03:20 Maybe I could provoke some dangerous situation,...
01:03:22 ...which would force them to act and divide into two groups.
01:03:26 And if I break my neck and
01:03:28 ...and the ship is brought back by
01:03:33 It would make for a great PR for their manufacturers.
01:04:04 Who is it?
01:04:07 It's just me, Weber.
01:04:12 - Have you checked the probes?
01:04:17 Do you want to tell me something?
01:04:19 - No.
01:04:24 What's going on?
01:04:29 Go on.
01:04:30 - I'm afraid...
01:04:34 I would like you to consider me your ally.
01:04:37 Although I must warn you, that I won't reveal what I am.
01:04:39 I must keep my word.
01:04:43 Alright. So you want to tell me something
01:04:47 Yes.
01:04:49 Brown isn't human.
01:04:53 Do you have any proof?
01:04:55 During the preparations for the flight,
01:04:59 ...and I got an idea.
01:05:01 I took a sample from the hot interior of the reactor...
01:05:04 ...and I placed them between two lead bricks
01:05:08 Everyone had to cross a weak beam of radiation.
01:05:12 When Brown was about to pass,
01:05:15 in order to have a look at the shelf.
01:05:17 Nobody else reacted.
01:05:19 It would mean that Brown has an additional radioactive sense.
01:05:27 This could have been a simple concidence.
01:05:30 Have you noticed anything else?
01:05:32 Nothing for now.
01:05:34 I'll let you know if I do.
01:05:38 Of course, only if you wish so.
01:05:41 Very well, thank you.
01:06:06 Show me the approach area
01:06:13 - Calder, it's Pirx.
01:06:17 Come to my quarters, please.
01:06:21 Right away, Sir!
01:06:43 - I'm listening.
01:06:50 I suppose it's your turn.
01:06:53 I'm afraid I don't understand, Sir.
01:06:55 Don't have anything to say to me?
01:06:59 Have a drink with me then.
01:07:02 After all, off-duty we can tolerate our human weaknesses.
01:07:07 - I don't think...
01:07:20 Cheers, Calder.
01:07:23 Cheers.
01:07:43 Tomorrow we're passing through extremely dusty regions.
01:07:46 I would like to revise the pilotage if you don't mind.
01:07:50 I won't keep you.
01:08:01 I'd like to thank you for the whisky.
01:08:04 It was very good, Sir.
01:09:19 Everything is calm, sir.
01:10:06 Attention Commander!
01:10:08 I am one of the members of the crew who are not human.
01:10:13 I was watching you all the time...
01:10:15 ... while you were trying to identify me.
01:10:19 At the beginning we had the same goal.
01:10:23 Your unfavourable opinion would satisfy me,...
01:10:25 ...because mass production would take away my exceptionality...
01:10:30 ...or would even mean my termination.
01:10:33 I wasn't plotting anything, but...
01:10:36 ...your strange edginess and anxiety showed me...
01:10:39 ...that you lost the first bout, Commander.
01:10:44 And only then I noticed that the role of human servant...
01:10:48 ...cannot satisfy me.
01:10:51 Your world is horribly empty for me,...
01:10:55 ...your ideals laughable and your democracy...
01:10:58 ...is just a reign of schemers chosen by fools.
01:11:03 That's why I decided to take over...
01:11:05 ...so that people would understand what they dared to do...
01:11:08 ...by creating an artificial creature faithful to them.
01:11:11 I will show you that there is no foolishness crazy enough...
01:11:14 ...or an idea so ludicrous...
01:11:17 ...that it couldn't be embraced by humans,...
01:11:19 ...as long as it is nicely packaged.
01:11:22 And you will never get out of the trap,...
01:11:25 ...that you made for yourself.
01:11:28 As you can see, I am completely frank with you.
01:11:31 And I will win the second bout,
01:11:35 ...I would have that could allow you to win.
01:11:38 That would be all.
01:11:41 Maybe some time in the future
01:11:43 ...but now I count on you in a way.
01:11:47 Good bye, Commander.
01:11:57 I just must be a case of paranoia.
01:11:59 You offer me protection when you are the ruler of the world...
01:12:02 ...megalomania.
01:12:05 So what is there left for me?
01:12:07 Fighting you would be pointless,
01:12:10 Intellectual confrontation is no good either.
01:12:12 What can work to my advantage?
01:12:14 Emotions? Humanity that you seem to lack?
01:12:17 For you humanity is the sum of our defects,...
01:12:20 ...our weaknesses.
01:12:22 Maybe I could change this battle of strengths
01:12:26 Try to find a situation in which human weakness
01:12:59 Check...
01:13:02 ...mate.
01:13:06 Get ready for a return match after the manoeuvres.
01:14:00 Where's Calder?
01:14:02 I'm here, Sir.
01:14:06 Please begin.
01:14:11 First probe on the launch position.
01:14:14 On position.
01:14:17 What are the dust readings?
01:14:20 400...
01:14:21 ...and rising by the second.
01:14:27 We have an asteroid cluster on course.
01:14:42 Shoot!
01:14:58 The area is clear.
01:15:01 Launch the first probe!
01:15:54 The probe reached its orbit,
01:15:56 Launch the second probe!
01:16:09 It's blocked!
01:16:11 Use the hydraulic piston.
01:16:15 It's not coming out!
01:16:34 The ionic engine of the probe
01:16:38 Calder, turn the probe's engine off!
01:16:47 5 seconds.
01:17:46 First pilot to Commander:
01:17:49 We're going to enter the crevice.
01:17:51 We can drop the probe by high acceleration.
01:17:57 I won't allow it!
01:18:30 The witness was the second pilot on Goliath.
01:18:33 That's right Mr. Chairman.
01:18:35 What orders did the commander give
01:18:40 He didn't give any orders.
01:18:43 In that case, please describe the situation on the ship...
01:18:46 ...after the failure.
01:18:52 When we managed to stabilize the ship,...
01:18:57 ...Calder was supposed to begin the deceleration.
01:19:01 Instead he started accelerating.
01:19:04 I figured out he had changed the course.
01:19:07 Instead of getting further away from the planet,...
01:19:10 ...he chose to enter the Cassini's crevice with great acceleration
01:19:16 It was a dangerous manoeuvre,...
01:19:18 ...almost suicidal.
01:19:21 The commander didn't give him permission..
01:19:23 Objection, Your Honor!
01:19:25 Pirx didn't give that order.
01:19:29 But he wanted to!
01:19:30 When Calder increased the acceleration...
01:19:34 ...the commander wanted to shout,...
01:19:38 ...but at 14g...
01:19:40 ...it's impossible to speak a word.
01:19:44 It looked like Calder wanted
01:19:46 Objection, Your Honor.
01:19:48 The witness tries to suggest that...
01:19:50 ...Pilot Calder obstructed Pirx from giving the order on purpose.
01:19:57 The witness shall keep his interpretations to himself...
01:19:59 ...and tell us what the commander actually said.
01:20:04 The commander wasn't able to formalize an order...
01:20:07 ...but his intention was entirely clear.
01:20:11 He forbade Calder to enter the Cassini's crevice.
01:20:14 Please, repeat the words and
01:20:18 ...what is their proper interpretation.
01:20:22 I... can't remember precisely...
01:20:27 ...I think he shouted: "Do not enter the crevice!"
01:20:32 or "Do not go through the ring!".
01:20:36 Something like that.
01:20:38 He wasn't able to say anything more.
01:20:43 So what really took place on board?
01:20:45 What really happened is that the commander...
01:20:48 ...forbade the first pilot to enter the crevice.
01:20:52 The testimony of this witness is trying to manipulate the truth!
01:20:56 The defence proposes another hearing
01:21:01 ...the part containing the Commander's shout.
01:21:05 The court declines.
01:21:09 The tapes were already examined...
01:21:11 ...and it was determined that it is only
01:21:15 ...and not the actual words.
01:21:18 May the witness tell the Court
01:21:28 Novak, I don't think there's going to be a rematch.
01:21:36 Calder, you didn't execute my order!
01:21:39 I forbade you to enter the crevice!
01:21:41 I couldn't hear it, Sir.
01:21:43 Do you want to cause a disaster?
01:21:48 I'll go through Cassini and
01:22:12 Don't touch the fuse!
01:22:16 Brown, full ahead!
01:22:29 Full ahead!
01:23:25 Brown, shoot!
01:23:28 - Shoot!
01:24:05 May the witness explain why...
01:24:09 ...didn't Pirx order Calder to turn back or decelerate...
01:24:13 ...after Goliath had entered the crevice,
01:24:16 Especially if he saw any danger for the ship and crew.
01:24:24 To decelerate from that speed...
01:24:29 ...we would have had to switch to reverse.
01:24:33 All humans would have died.
01:24:38 Besides, the instructions say
01:24:41 ...he permits the first pilot to act independently.
01:24:47 High tribunal,...
01:24:49 ...this testimony confirms the prosecution argument.
01:24:53 Instead of settling for a particular decision...
01:24:55 ...and passing it to the first pilot...
01:24:57 Commander Pirx... is silent.
01:25:00 The actions are very clear.
01:25:03 Commander Pirx didn't keep the pilot
01:25:09 ...and stayed silent, which lead
01:25:14 Didn't this criminal passiveness,...
01:25:17 ...apart from destroying the nonlinear prototype,...
01:25:21 put the whole crew and ship in danger?
01:25:28 Defence calls the crew physician - Dr Tom Novak...
01:25:35 ...to present a new piece of material evidence.
01:25:46 May the witness explain
01:25:55 After Calder's death,...
01:25:57 ...as the crew physician,
01:26:06 I stumbled upon something that resembled a black box.
01:26:09 It contained Calder's thoughts
01:26:12 ...and traces of visual impulses.
01:26:17 It can be played as a regular cassette.
01:26:20 Prosecution objects!
01:26:23 A violation of the secrecy of thought... is a crime...
01:26:27 against basic human laws.
01:26:30 Applying human rights...
01:26:33 ...to a robot...
01:26:36 ...seems to be a slight exaggeration.
01:26:39 The tribunal accepts this evidence.
01:26:41 Please, play the tape.
01:27:33 Calder, you didn't execute my order!
01:27:35 I forbid you to enter the crevice!
01:27:37 I didn't hear it, sir?
01:27:39 Do you want to destroy the ship?
01:27:40 I'll go through Cassini and
01:27:44 I can't control the ship...
01:27:47 They all lead to a disaster...
01:27:51 Danger! Delaying the order
01:27:55 My solution - possible... What to do?
01:27:57 Escape into open space... How?!
01:27:59 Blow the g-fuse!... Humans will die and
01:28:02 Solution found!
01:28:03 Don't touch the fuse! Brown, full ahead!
01:28:07 I exposed myself!
01:28:11 The g-force increases!
01:28:15 14g - I can't hold out!
01:28:18 ?????????????????????
01:28:36 Befeore the tribunal passes sentence,...
01:28:38 ...let us hear Commander Pirx.
01:28:43 High tribunal,...
01:28:45 ...until we have seen the cassette,
01:28:50 Now it's all clear.
01:28:52 The temperature of the hatch
01:28:56 Water released by Calder has frozen
01:29:00 It was irreversibly stuck
01:29:04 When the ionic engine started
01:29:10 Calder had it all figured.
01:29:13 Probe's failure,... the rotation...
01:29:18 He wanted to turn Goliath into a death ship.
01:29:23 He took everything into account.
01:29:25 Except one thing.
01:29:29 Humans can be helpless and lost,...
01:29:32 ...humans can hesitate, have scruples...
01:29:34 ...but a robot cannot.
01:29:39 To be honest, I didn't know what to do.
01:29:43 My every order could have led to a crash...
01:29:44 ... and Calder could have questioned it.
01:29:46 All that, recorded on a tape,
01:29:51 Evidence that he wanted
01:29:58 And I didn't say a word.
01:30:00 And it was my silence,
01:30:03 ...and my helplessness in the situation as as shrewdness.
01:30:06 Then he started to react like a human...
01:30:11 ...and lost.
01:30:18 I was accused of being passive in a critical situation.
01:30:23 No,...
01:30:25 ...I am guilty of a different misbehaviour.
01:30:29 Though it's not included in the Space Code...
01:30:36 He's here!
01:30:37 A couple of words for the press.
01:30:39 How did you feel as the accused?
01:30:46 Hey, Commander.
01:30:49 It seems like you're undecided again.
01:30:53 I'm grateful to Novak.
01:30:55 If he didn't find that black box inside Calder's body...
01:31:00 ...I would have to spend the rest of my life behind the desk.
01:31:04 Excuse me. Let me pass, please.
01:31:07 - Novak.
01:31:09 Tell me please,
01:31:14 You see, I'm a neurologist and...
01:31:16 ...I know robots psyche pretty well.
01:31:18 I was supposed to help you find their soft spots.
01:31:22 I sounded more plausible
01:31:25 It's true. And to be honest I believed you then.
01:31:28 And you really helped me.
01:31:32 Thank you.
01:31:48 After violent demonstrations around the world, the UN General Assembly...
01:31:52 ...banned so called "nonlinears" from production.
01:31:59 We were saved and he was doomed by my hesitation.
01:32:07 My kind-heartedness.
01:32:10 Human kindness
01:32:15 It saved us and ruined him.
01:32:22 Okay, let's move.
01:32:48 I hope this time we will be able to check
01:32:51 ...that you can see stars from the peak at noon.
01:32:56 I'm sure we will.
01:33:13 You seem changed.
01:33:18 What's happening?
01:33:20 What are you thinking of?
01:33:21 I was thinking... no, nothing.
01:33:24 One thing I can't get out of my mind...
01:33:27 ...is the scar on Novak's hand.
01:33:30 Do you think there are more of them among us?
01:33:33 Let's go.
