Test Pilota Pirxa

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! |

PILOT PIRX TESTED |

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. |
