We'll overload him. I'll give

him a headache he won't forget.

Track it.

Track it.

Can't see... I can't see it.

Now.

He's out. You'll have

no more trouble from him.

Or from you.

As soon as we declipse,

I'm reporting your incompetent

handling of this experiment.

You call me incompetent?

You said he'd function.

- You told me...

- On your say so.

- You said you could handle him!

- You put him together!

It's moving!

Hold him down.

Quick, get his brain out!

Hold onto his arm!

Dismantle it. Piece by piece.

Then crate it, and take him

and your ideas back with you.

What you can't stand, you run

from. Like you ran from Earth.

That's right. To get away

from people like you.

To set up

your own little universe?

To help feed yours.

And Alex,

were you thinking of her?

Captain, you flunked.

You want to kill me?

You want to kill me?

Go ahead...

Go ahead. Kill me.

Kill me! If you think you can.

Did you know the original Hector

came to a tragic end?

He was slain by Achilles,

his body dragged

around the walls of Troy.

You want the girl?

Sure, sure. You want the girl.

You think she's beautiful,

too, don't you?

You know the captain's crazy?

He really is crazy.

The robot scared me more.

If the robot can kill,

the captain can kill.

I thought I could kill.

I'm just not update enough

for murder.

I wish I was.

Are you sure

he's taking it apart?

Either he takes it apart

or it takes him apart.

Captain,

how are things progressing?

I have completed dismantling.

I'm glad that's over.

It's my fault. I should

never have let him stay.

In a week or two, we'll have

forgotten it ever happened.

- Will we?

- Of course we will.

I'm leaving.

I told you

never to barge in here.

- I'm taking her with me.

- What?

You are crazy.

Come along, Alex.

I'm taking command. You're

inadequate... in every area.

Captain, for the last time...

Doesn't it disgust you to be

used by an old man? Can't you...

Stop it! Stop it!

Stop it!

It's me.

Why did you stop me?

You're coming with me. The first

thing to do is see Earth.

Adam, how can we get

to the captain's ship?

We gotta be quick. Let's try.

- Now?

- Come on.

It's no use. We can't lose him.

Alex?

Alex?

Adam!

Shh!

Get back!

Run for it!

Where is he?

I don't know. He just vanished.

He's in the communications room.

He's tracking us.

Come in, Hector.

Come on. Come on in.

- Can you fly it?

- No trouble.

It'll be locked

into automatic return.

We just light up and sit back.

Now we know something.

He doesn't want to kill us.

Whatever he wants us for,

it's not for that.

It's hopeless.

You'll get your trip

to Earth. I promise.

The captain!

Martin Amis

Martin Louis Amis (born 25 August 1949) is a British novelist, essayist and memoirist. His best-known novels are Money (1984) and London Fields (1989). He has received the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for his memoir Experience and has been listed for the Booker Prize twice to date (shortlisted in 1991 for Time's Arrow and longlisted in 2003 for Yellow Dog). Amis served as the Professor of Creative Writing at the Centre for New Writing at the University of Manchester until 2011. In 2008, The Times named him one of the 50 greatest British writers since 1945.Amis's work centres on the excesses of late-capitalist Western society, whose perceived absurdity he often satirises through grotesque caricature; he has been portrayed as a master of what The New York Times called "the new unpleasantness". Inspired by Saul Bellow, Vladimir Nabokov, and James Joyce, as well as by his father Kingsley Amis, Amis himself has gone on to influence many successful British novelists of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, including Will Self and Zadie Smith. more…
