Remember Argyle Somerfield,
an old movie star?
Eighty-three, according to this, an'
he's just had a baby with his nurse!
'"It was love at first sight", she
cooed, "I've always liked older men'".
God, if she ever ran into
Tutankhamen he wouldn't stand a chance!
She'd have his bandages off before
you can say "silicon implants".
There's some pictures of
them here with the new-born.
There's Argyle, and there's the baby.
No no no no, there's
Argyle, and there's the baby!
I was thrown for a minute by the bib and the
bonnet. Thought that was the baby at first!
An eighty-three year old
dad! How's that gonna work?
I bet he's not gonna get up in the middle
of the night to give the baby its feed.
Probably pretend to be dead!
"Darling, can you give the
baby his bottle tonight?"
It's not gonna work, is it?
The only advantage, as far as I can see,
is the wife can change both
their nappies at the same time.
Are you still not talking to me?
It's unbelievably childish, y' know.
I've a good mind to fill your
shoes with runny porridge again.
Teach you a lesson about maturity...
All right, I'll tell you
what: I bet I can make you
say something in the next... minute.
Twenty big ones. Shake on it...
All right, if I'm on, say nothing.
I'm on! Okay. I'm gonna say something, all
right, an' you're gonna totally lose it.
Are you ready? Y' ready?
Remember Yvonne McGruder?
You really liked her, didn't you?
I used to go out with her, y'know.
Before you did. You didn't know
that, did you? Broke up in the end.
Really hurt me. Still got the scars today.
They never heal, carpet burns, do they?
Both cheeks, man! She nearly
wore them down to the bone!
Will you shut up!
What did I tell you? Twenty big ones!
I've been listening to you whittling
on now for what seems like two ice ages!
My mind is so numb
and brain-dead I feel
like I've just attended a three-day
seminar entitled "The Future of Plumbing".
Oh, at last you're talking
to me. I knew we'd make it up.
Eighty-three!
This thing's even bigger than I remember...
Errr, guyyys... we've got a problem..!
Hey guys! Look at my body!
There's an invitation that
will not cause a stampede.
No! It's back to normal.
No time for that now, sir.
We're flying down a corridor on Red
Dwarf and Starbug appears to be expanding.
It's not Starbug that's expanding,
it's Red Dwarf that's shrinking!
It must be something to do with
the nanobot's molecular process.
Just like my body!
We're being sucked into a vent!
Can't fight it!
Air vent walls closing in.
We must take action. Be
bold, positive, decisive.
All right, dudes.
Anyone fancy a game of charades using
just your noses, or is this a bad time?
Holly, man, we're about
to get crushed to death!
So that's a 'no', then, is it?
Once the nano's rebuilt the ship, I thought
things were going to get back to normal!
We don't know where we are, what to do,
and haven't got a clue what's happening.
Things are back to normal!
Can't you get this crate to go faster?
It's gonna be like getting crushed to
death under a gigantic trouser press!
Freshly laundered and wrinkle-free!
I always prayed I'd go out like that!
There may be a way through
this if we take a detour.
Past Epsilon 14 and take a right at the
hydro unit. We'll save about two minutes!
Epsilon 14.
There's... there's... there's
some kind of heartbeat up ahead,
and it's beating at an incredible rate!
You mean there's a heart out there with
no body? No wonder it's beating so fast.
Heyyy!
I hope we don't get stopped by the cops.
They don't like it when you're rat-arsed...
According to the desk
we've lost all engines!
Didn't I read somewhere that can
seriously affect your ability to fly?
Now we've lost the
mid-section and the kitchen!
I'm sorry everyone, but we may
have to have sandwiches for lunch!
Dave?
Selby! Chen! Is it really you?
Is it really us? Hang on, I'll check.
Yeah, I think it's us.
Guys! This is brilliant! I can't believe it!
You know these people, sir?
Know them? When they've been drunk and
unconscious I've taken their clothes off
and painted parts of them green!
Course I know them! This is
the Red Dwarf crew, Krytie!
How?
The nano's must have resurrected
them along with the ship.
This is Chen.
He works in the kitchen
and he's always drunk,
and this is Selby, and he's
always drunk too! Where's Peterson?
He couldn't make it. He's drunk!
The crew are all alive,
sir! This is great news!
Wonderful, marvelous, incredible
news! All that extra ironing! Bliss!
Mister Thornton, read them their rights.
David Lister, you are formally charged
with stealing and crashing a Starbug.
You are also charged with
having no pilot's license,
and smuggling two stowaways on board,
along with Navigation
Officer Kristine Kochanski.
Anything you say now, or do not say now, may
be used at a board of enquiry against you.
Do you require any form of aid?
Yeah, lemonade in a really large scotch.
Left, right, left, right, left, right!
Try and relax! You're
gonna burst a blood vessel!
Shut up, you maggot! Do you
understand? Do you understand!?
"Yes -" what!?
"Yes, Mister... Shouty"..?
"YES - SIR"!
Left, right, left, right, left, right,
left, right, left, right, left, right. Halt!
Lift arm.
At ease.
All right, dude.
They don't know about you yet, Holl.
It might be an idea to keep it that way.
I need some info. If the board of enquiry
find us guilty tomorrow, what happens then?
Well if you lose, you'll probably
get a couple of years in the brig.
What brig?
The brig on floor 13.
There isn't a floor 13!
Yeah, there is. It was classified.
A need-to-know only basis.
So who knew?
Well, all the officers, and anyone
who's ever seen the Twilight Zone.
So what's it like, this brig?
Well if I was an estate agent,
I'd probably describe it as an
old-style penal establishment,
abundant wildlife, two-hundred
bedrooms, all with ensuite buckets.
Smeggin' hell.
They call it The Tank.
There was an inmate
population of four-hundred,
all being transported to Adelphi 12.
Presumably, they've all
been resurrected too.
What are they like? No don't
tell me, I already know.
They're all deranged,
hairy no-lobes with breath
like old nappies, arms
like toilet walls...
scum of the universe. They're
all like that, aren't they?
Well, the nice ones are, yeah.
Hang on, I've got one of them
on file somewhere. Here we go:
I'm Nigel. I'm nice!
See what I mean? They're
not all headbangers.
Nige is lovely, though he
does tend to get a bit narky
if you go too close
to him with a magnet.
Thanks very much Holl.
Y' really cheering me up.
The brig.
Two years..! Two years without curry
and lager! Two years without sex!
- You hope!
- Rimmer!
Word's out they're going to
throw the book at you, Listy!
Followed by the bookcase, and
then the library, brick by brick.
God, it's you like you used to be. Ughhh.
What got into you? You can't fly a
Starbug, meladdo! You're a technician!
A zero! A nobody!
This is gonna sound nuts, but the
whole crew died, including you!
And you've all been resurrected
by these microscopic little robots!
- I died?
- Yeah.
- All the crew died?
- Yeah.
And you're going to spend
the next two years in the brig
with a load of neanderthals
with badly spelled tattoos.
So where are we, is it my heaven?
Look, a radiation leak
wiped everybody out.
I survived because I was in stasis.
Then these nano's arrived... rebuilt
the ship, and resurrected the crew.
So where are they?
Dunno... gone, scarpered.
Maybe I should take the fifth?
The fifth? If I were you, I'd take
the sixth, seventh and eighth, too.
I've got to track down these
nano's, to corroborate our story.
Otherwise, who's going
to believe our defence?
Only meths drinkers and
the corn circle society.
I need your help, man.
Me?
Who else is going to help
me? I'm confined to quarters.
The minute I walk though that door,
I get enough wattage up my jacksie
to light up the whole of Bootle!
Well, considering what the future
has in store for your jacksie,
a couple of zillion volts
is going to be easy street...
What's this rumour that we're three
million light years into Deep Space,
and Red Dwarf's changed shape?
That is classified information,
Karen! Who the hell told you that?
The coffee machine on G-deck.
That damn coffee machine. I'm gonna
bust his a** down to tampon dispenser!
Is it true?
Until we get Holly back
up, we can't verify it.
Starbug took out one of his CPU banks
in the crash and we're
having trouble rebooting.
The coffee machine said the ship's now
identical to its original design plans,
before the JMC made all its cutbacks?
We now have a quark-level
matter anti-matter generator,
ship-wide bio-organic computer
networking, and a karaoke bar on C-deck.
But how? And how did we
wind up in Deep Space?
Nobody knows...
We don't believe this one's
human. Take a look at this:
Has he got the measles?
Those are his nipples, Frank.
Six nipples? I wonder what the
female of the species is like?
Pretty easy to please in bed!
Especially if you play the piano.
His internal organs are different too.
In what way?
His kidney, liver, appendix,
are all colour co-ordinated.
And even weirder, his stomach
wall appears to be decorated.
This guy's intestines look
better than my quarters.
His heartbeat's weird too. Instead of a
normal heartbeat, his sounds... cooler...
You think I'm going to have
the dorky human heartbeat?
D dff, d dff, d dff, d dff.
Where's the tune in that?
Let me hear it.
Also, his pulse is a different rhythm.
Oh, that's good. Can you
slam that down on tape for me?
Rimmer, I'm begging you man: help me escape.
I've got to track down these nanobots.
I'm not risking my career and standing
for you, Listy. I'm going places!
"Up the ziggurat, lickety-split"...
Up the ziggurat, lickety-split, precisely!
I'm going to pass the engineering exam!
"And become an officer"...
And become an officer, yes! An officer.
A guy of honour, decency and breeding.
Are you saying I haven't
got those qualities?
Generally, people with breeding, when
they're bored and want my bridge club chums
to wrap up and go home, people with
breeding, generally, do not play
'Popeye the Sailor Man' with a kazoo
inserted between their buttocks.
I remember that! I used to do
that sort of thing, didn't I?
Don't expect help from me, Lister.
But that was years ago...
It was last week!
Last week for you, because you've just
been resurrected; years ago for me.
And anyway I was whirlitzered then.
I even finished off the advocar.
I even downed that smeg-awful pink stuff
down the back of the drinks cabinet.
That was my Windowlene... I must have left
it there when I was cleaning the glass.
It tasted all right with that
Chartruess green liqueurey thing.
You drank my Swarfega
too? You're unbelievable.
Look, I've changed, I'm different
now... more mature, more debonair.
I don't even stir my tea with a spanner
any more. You'd hardly recognise me.
Have you stopped playing the guitar?
No, but I've stopped
accompanying myself on the armpit.
What I'm trying to say is that I don't need
to take my frustrations out on you anymore.
How's that?
I've been away, what is it? Five,
six years, not counting stasis?
I've done stuff! Stuff that would make
your hair straight. I've come through it.
I can help you...
- Do what?
- Get promoted.
Preposterous!
How?
Information. I've seen the
crew's confidential reports.
I've seen their strengths
and weaknesses...
How?
Well before you were resurrected, I
had the run of the whole of the ship.
I've seen the crew's files, medical records,
sessions with the therapist, the works.
Knowledge is power. Who said that?
I don't know.
Nor do I. The point I'm trying to make
is, I can make you look like a genius.
You can get promoted in the field,
man, you won't have to take exams,
or do that astro-engineering
smeg... Just, help me escape.
I have my principles, Lister. You think you
can buy me with promises of power and glory?
You really think... okay, I'll do it.
But you'll have to prove it to me first.
You're on.
- Get me promoted.
- You've got it.
Okay, deal.
You'll find the confidential
files in Starbug's cockpit.
There's a senile version of Holly loaded
into this watch. He'll lead you to it.
Hello, I'm Doctor Lucas McLaren; I am
the ship's chief psychiatric counsellor,
and I thought it's about time we got
together, and had a really good natter.
My name is Kryten, sir.
Lovely! We are doing well, aren't
we! Now, you're a robot, aren't you?
I was, the last time I looked, sir, yes.
And can you tell me, when you
were created, can you remember?
2340, sir
Very good, 2340. Now, that's
in the future, isn't it?
Yes sir, I was created after you died.
Lovely! Lovely! So, I died,
er, and you were created.
And how long would you say
I've been dead, altogether?
Oh, you're not dead any more, sir.
Aren't I?
No no, you're alive again
now, sir. Can't you tell?
Right! I was alive, died, and
then started living again..?
You have been most fortunate sir!
I have, haven't I? Golly! Your chair
is screwed down, isn't it, Kryten?
Er, yes, sir?
Just checking!
Excellent, lovely, lovely!
So, how did I suddenly
spring back to life again?
You were rebuilt, sir, by these itty-bitty,
teeny-weeny, teenty little robots!
'Teenty little robots'?
And they make this little noise,
'miniminiminiminiminiminiminiminimini'!
Yes, just double check that
chair for me, would you, Kryten?
It is still screwed down, isn't it?
With really long, long screws
that go deep, deep into the ground?
Er, yes, sir.
Okay, now tell me, what kind
of robot do you think you are?
What were you programmed to do?
Oh well, I'm a sanitation droid, sir.
I'm programmed to do sanitation-type
things: washing, cleaning, ironing.
Hmm. You also drive
spaceships though, don't you?
Pretend to be the science officer,
and sit in that lovely, swivelly chair,
with all those lovely, pretty
buttons and press them all?
Yes, I do that too, sir. That's
sort of thanks to Mister Lister.
Mister Lister..?
He helped break my programming, sir.
Over the years I have managed to develop
some serious character faults
of which I'm extremely proud!
I'm even able to lie
to a modest standard,
for example: "you have
a very fine hair cut!"
You see how good I've got?
Also, "I've completely mastered
pomposity, even though I say so myself!"
I've also developed several
rudimentary emotions, including fear:
"Oh my God! It's going to kill us!";
sadness: "Oh my God, it's killed us";
happiness: "oh no it hasn't!"; surprise:
"Oohh! I've turned into a frog!",
and just lately, I'm proud to
say, I've got the hang of anger,
with rudimentary mindless violence:
That's a newie. I was going to
launch it at this year's Emotion Show.
At the moment, I'm
working on ambivalence
which means feeling two opposite,
irreconcilable emotions
about the same thing:
As you can see, I haven't quite
got the hang of that one yet.
I look like a dog with a caramel toffee.
What is your relationship with Lister?
I love Mister Lister, sir,
he taught me everything.
Without him, I'd probably be normal.
I'm going to make a recommendation now,
Kryten, which I think will help you,
but just before I do, just double
check that chair for me, would you?
Yes!
Luck virus; sexual magnetism?
Holly, what's this?
Dave got them years ago from
this scientist called Lanstrom.
They're positive viruses.
One gives you sexual magnetism,
and the other gives you luck.
Well, 'til your natural body
defences combat the virus.
Sexual magnetism!
You gonna use it?
Is Paris a kind of
plaster? You bet I am!
A tiny swigette to see if
it works. Well, bottoms up!
Then bottoms down, and
hopefully bottoms up again!
Hi, Arn...
Ladies!
Hi, Arnold...
The world loves a bastard!
This is the daily report of Captain F.
Hollister of the mining ship Red Dwarf.
Several of my crew are presently being
tried for crimes against the Space Corps.
This is gonna sound nuts, but the
whole crew died, including you!
And you've all been resurrected
by these microscopic little robots!
I've got to track down these
nano's, to corroborate our story.
Otherwise, who's going
to believe our defence?
Only meths drinkers and
the corn circle society.
I need your help, man.
I've seen the crew's files, medical records,
sessions with the therapist, the works.
I can make you look like a genius.
You can get promoted in the field,
man, you won't have to take exams..
Just, help me escape.
I have my principles, Lister. You think you
can buy me with promises of power and glory?
You really think... okay, I'll do it.
But you'll have to prove it to me first.
You're on.
Get me promoted.
You'll find the confidential
files in Starbug's cockpit.
There's a senile version of Holly loaded
into this watch. He'll lead you to it.
Yes!
My captain, sir.
Rimmer, is this salute ever gonna end?
Err, do I have time to go for a
cup of coffee? Maybe go on vacation?
Nearly finished sir. It's my
very special extra long salute,
I reserve for the
especially important, sir.
You wanted to see me?
I'm concerned over some of the
safety procedures on board, sir.
There's a potentially lethal
scenario concerning drive plates, sir.
Obviously, anyone who mis-repaired
one of these plates would have
to have a brain the size of a
leprechaun's testicle, nevertheless, sir,
like German tourists,
the stupid are everywhere.
I propose the following
new safety procedures, sir.
Did you really think of this?
Permission to look smug, sir.
Permission granted.
Good work, Rimmer. Great work.
Oh, before I go, sir. Happy
wedding anniversary, sir.
"Anus Soothe Pile Cream.
The easy-to-apply cream that
comes with its own special glove".
"One size fits all"... I
could tell from your walk.
Rimmer... could you post this for me?
Why, certainly, sir.
Oh, its addressed to me, sir?
I'm giving a supper for some of the guys
that I've marked out for greater things.
And you want me to be the wine waiter, sir?
This report is first rate! Now,
I want you to come to supper.
See you on Friday.
Incidentally, its black tie...
Thai, Chinese, I'll eat anything, sir!
Though, I would prefer
it if it wasn't black...
any chance of having
mine medium-rare, sir?
Just go! Wear what the hell you want...
Fill this up, behind the screen.
Kryten, hi...
What are you doing here?
What's wrong?
I've been classified as a woman.
A woman, why?
Well, because I haven't got a... penis...
It's a Space Corps. directive to
prevent gender ambiguity in jail.
What's the saying, "if you've got
nothing to swing, you can't be with Bing".
Well, what happened, did you lose it?
I was never issued with one,
ma'am. Well, why would I need one,
unless somehow I lost both arms
and there was an emergency situation
to write my name in the snow.
But hey, now you're a woman its going to
mean some big changes in the way you behave.
I'm not going to be a woman
for long, ma'am. Just overnight.
They want my permission to
repair my corrupted files.
Tomorrow afternoon.
Restore my factory settings!
But your corrupted files
are what makes you you!
I've been diagnosed as
being quirky and unstable!
Spin my nipple-nuts
and send me to Alaska!
Quirky!? How could they
reach a verdict like that?
And as for unstable! It makes me so...
Darn it, I still haven't got
the hang of that emotion, have I?
What was it supposed to be?
Ambivalence. Didn't come
out right though, did it?
I look like Mister Lister
when he's forced to eat fruit.
Well, look, what are you going to do?
Why, I have to go along with them, ma'am...
I can't say no, they are my superiors.
Look, you've got to say no!
I can't! They're better than
me, I'm, I'm not strong enough!
Right, here's a tip: if
you get scared tomorrow,
just imagine what they look like
on the loo... can you see them?
No, I... Ooh..! Yes, I can!
Do they still seem better than you?
No, ma'am!
- Do they still seem superior?
- No, ma'am!
That's what you've got to do
tomorrow! Just re-create that picture!
- It works for everyone!
- Yes!
Who are you looking at now?
You, ma'am!
Be upstanding.
Just relax, Rimmer's
gonna help us escape.
This enquiry's a piece of cake, we're
just going through the motions...
Let's get this enquiry under way.
You have refused defense
assistance, is that right?
Okay, this is what we do.
I've watched a lot of TV shows and
we all huddle together like this
and whisper for a while before we answer.
It looks like we know what we're doing!
We intend to defend ourselves!
You see how good that looked?
Are you familiar with the mind scan?
We are familiar with the mind scan, sir.
You are aware that it pictorially
enhances the cognitive process,
making your innermost thoughts available
for recording and viewing
to a board of enquiry?
Yes, sir.
You understand that it will involve the
administration of psychotropic drugs,
that is, drugs that
affect your mental state,
making this process possible?
If you accept, say 'aye'.
Aye.
Please sign the consent forms and
seal them into the envelopes provided.
We reconvene at 10am tomorrow.
The plan's working, Listy. Operation Get
Rimmer Officerhood, Power and Eminence,
or G.R.O.P.E. for
short, is bang on course.
That information I gave you on
the drive plates worked, then? Yes!
He's never been so pleased!
And, get this, he's invited me to
supper with the movers and the shakers.
The movers and the shakers?
Not me, Listy. I'm on my way,
up the ziggurat, lickety-split.
Well, don't forget your part of the deal.
The override code for this so I can leg it.
It's too soon, I'm not an officer yet!
The trial begins tomorrow, man!
Without the nanobots our defence
has got more holes than my socks.
But once you've legged it,
where does that leave me?
I'm not helping you escape and
losing all my insider knowledge.
I'm not an officer yet.
Woh! we shook hands on a deal!
Yeah but, Lister, you know me;
my handshake's less reliable
than a plumber's estimate.
No escapo, no more info.
Listy, its not going to help you.
I've got the confidential files.
Plus, I went through Starbug's
salvage, and I found these:
The Luck virus... Sexual Magnetism.
Positive viruses, Holly
told me everything.
Take some of this, it gives you luck,
and this, gives you sexual magnetism.
I've already tried some; right now,
Yvonne McGruder is sleeping off the first
twenty-three pages of the Kame Sutra.
So, you reneged on the deal,
then? Breaking your promise?
So you're a total scum-sucking,
two-faced, weaselly weasel?
Ah, my entry in "Who's Who".
You left some of your luck
behind, man. I touched the tube...
Sheer luck...
You may, if you prefer,
stand with the others tomorrow
and face the charges against you.
However, I advise that you have
your corrupted files repaired,
after which you may go
free. What is your decision?
Nnnn-, nnnnn-, nnnnnnnn-, oh, its no good!
Okay, let's all stay
calm! No need to be...
After all, Kryten is
merely holding us hostage,
which is lovely! Isn't
it, everyone? Lovely.
We don't want any trouble.
We'll just do what you say.
Come on, then. Come with me.
Come on, inside, inside, that's it.
Come on, all of you, quick, quick,
quick, quick. There we go, that's it.
Now, I want you to take down
your pants, and sit on a toilet.
My god, he's mad!
Then what're you going to do to us..?
I'm going to look at you.
He's totally mad!
Just... do what he says...
Lovely...
Now I want you to ask me the question again.
"Do I want to have my
corrupted files repaired?"
Do you want to have your
corrupted files repaired?
Nnnnnn-, nnnnnnn-, nnnnnn-no.
I did it. No, nnnnn-no, I don't.
The answer to the question is no.
No doubt about it, I do not want
to have my corrupted files repaired.
The answer is nnnnno!
Hello. I'm the Data Doctor.
If you would like me to examine
your hard disk, press 'Examine'.
Your mechanoid appears to have
developed the following rogue emotions:
affection, arrogance, envy, guilt, humour,
insecurity, petulance, possessiveness,
snobbery, and love.
If you wish to eradicate these
emotions from his database, press 'Fix'.
All bad line blocks and corrupted
personality disks have now been fixed.
Please reboot your mechanoid.
His personality has now been restored -
to its factory settings.
My name is Kryten, I am programmed
to serve. Can I be of service?
Bring me a coffee, please, Kryten.
Certainly, ma'am.
Then you may scrub the floor.
Yes, ma'am.
Are you happy -
Kryten?
I have no understanding of human
emotions, ma'am. I am programmed to serve.
Excellent.
I'm going to be 'Colin Charisma' at
the Captain's table with this stuff.
Hi...
And if we approach light speed, I think
we have to be aware we could come across
something I believe we'll
experience called 'future echoes'.
Certain pockets of... futurey
things. From the future.
How fascinating... What a fascinating
man you are, Mister Rimmer...
I think we've greatly underestimated
you over the years, Arnold.
Now, let me find out
where that coffee is.
Oh no, Captain, please, allow me.
Perhaps, ah, you could
help me, Mister Rimmer..?
Why, certainly, and perhaps we can talk
about my theory on backwards universes?
And, of course, in a backwards universe
many things begin to make more sense -
Oh my god, you are
sexy! So very, very sexy!
Bravo, bud! What now?
Well, we find Kryten,
get to the landing bay,
grab a ship and get the hell outta town.
He's on this floor.
Here he is!
Kryten, come on.
Are you addressing me, sir? I don't
believe we've had the pleasure.
What have they done to you, Kryten?
You sound like Noel
Coward's elocution teacher!
Well, if you'll forgive me, sir, I
have my duties to perform. Good day.
Aw, they've fixed all his corrupted files.
He mustn't have been able to say 'no'.
Someone's coming.
We've got to get a better disguise.
We've already got a disguise!
What's the point of a disguise if you
wear it under your normal outfit, Cat?
A grey boiler suit? You think I'm
gonna wear this on the outside? Ha!
Look, we're not leaving without him.
I don't care what they've done to him,
he's coming with us. He's part of the posse.
Hey! I got a great idea for a new disguise!
What?
The Dibbley family!
Yess!
Ahhh, there you are!
Any... news on the coffee?
Drat. We forgot. I'll
find out right away, sir.
I'll give you a hand, Mister Rimmer...
Sorry to interrupt... sir,
but we're searching this floor
for the escaped prisoners.
Sorry, we haven't seen them. Just
me, my wife, here, and my brother.
Hello!
- Hi!
- Hi.
I don't recollect seeing you guys before..?
That's because we don't go
around much looking like this.
What do you guys do?
..Computer programmers.
Well, if you see anything
suspicious, call security, okay?
Er, you bet.
Begging your pardon, sirs,
I just need to get a mop.
How peculiar, my mop-heads are missing.
Don't I know you, sir?
Wayne... Wayne, something.
Wayne Wibbley? Where do I know you from?
No, no, sir, you're mistaken. You're
mixing me up with some other big-teeth dork.
No, let him speak.
Where do you know him from?
Are you out of your mind?
Shh-shh! Where do you know him from? Think!
I think I'm about to
discover something wonderful,
but, when I discover it, it will put
someone in great danger. I feel an emotion.
I feel two emotions; two
different emotions! I feel- I feel-
Ambivalence?
I can feel my files corrupting...
they're... corrupting,
I... oohh, ohhh, oh
yes, that's good! Oohh!
I'm back, and I'm bad! Obviously, within
certain sensible pre-set parameters...
Attention, attention! Reported
prisoner sighting on C-deck,
reported prisoner sighting on C-deck!
Nice one, Holl...
What's wrong with you?
Well, do you get the
impression this is too easy?
Like, everything's going for us?
Like they almost want us to escape!
Hey, I was just thinking aloud!
No, no! The Luck virus, it's helping us.
Put your kit on.
Here we are! Remembered the coffee at last.
What about the mints?
I'll go. Would you like to
help me, Mister Rimmer..?
It's just, I've got so much coffee,
I don't think I could manage to
get any mints until tomorrow...
Well, the psychotropic testing
should be well underway by now.
Those results sure are
going to be interesting.
Psychotropic what?
The Lister case is so unusual
I decided to invoke my right
to use psychotropic evidence.
The accused are drugged,
wired to a mainframe,
then the computer feeds in
various hypothetical scenarios
and their reactions
are laid down on tape.
Right now, they believe
they're escaping,
but we just want to
observe what they do...
So, that means, that if anyone happens
to mention any... special agreements...
that they've entered into, then -
Could you excuse me? I think
I... left the iron on...
Hi...
What is wrong with me? I've got the
sexual appetite of a mountain lion,
no, worse, a first year nursing student!
It's just being wanted, it's such an
aphrodisiac. Got to get some control back!
Hi.
Never realised you were so
damn popular with the ladies...
Maybe you can share
your secret sometime?
Yes, sir.
Guys, it's Bob and Max.
Go on, shoo, guys, shoo, go on!
We're trying to escape,
but you'll never get past
security, so go on! Go on!
One day in this lousy, stinking
penal colony and I'm cracking up.
Everyone's so deranged and
brutal it's frightening.
This afternoon I was so depressed
I went to see the social worker.
Was he any help?
Not really; he beat me up.
I thought social workers
were supposed to be nice?
In the end I was so shell-shocked I went
to see the priest and explained everything.
What did he say?
He said I was a whining
baby who was missing his mum.
Then he beat me up, too. You can still see
the crucifix marks in the back of my head.
It's cos we're in G-tower.
All the staff are mad, here.
One of the guys was saying, though,
as a reward for good behaviour,
they move you to the
luxury block on D-wing.
Everything's really nice there;
they even shampoo the rats.
Groom their tails and everything.
What's this?
"Floor 13 information pack.
If privacy is required when using
toilet, please wear blindfold. "
What's the book?
Gideon's Bible.
He follows me everywhere, that
bloke! I was staying in a hotel once,
he left his bible behind there, as well.
And two years later, another hotel,
dozy git left it behind again!
Everything is ruined. My career's
over, I've no goal, no hope, no life.
Yeah, but how come that's
started to get you down now?
Maybe you hadn't noticed, but we're going
to spend the next two years in the brig?
Two years with the scum of the universe,
hardened criminals, deranged droids,
people so unbalanced and debauched
they could even get elected
as President of the United
States. We've got to escape!
Woh! There're security
cameras everywhere.
You know that mad geezer with
the one eye and the funny tic?
He said it was impossible.
Well he's bound to say
that, he was the warden!
If only I'd hired a smarter lawyer,
instead of the brain-dead, pompous,
stupid-haired git I ended up with.
You defended yourself!
Yes, and I don't need reminding
of that, thank you very much.
Two years in the Tank...
Two years...
How did I get into this mess?
I think the blindfold's
supposed to be for me...
This is the diary of Captain F.
Hollister of the mining ship Red Dwarf.
Several of my crew are presently being
tried for crimes against the Space Corps:
Are you familiar with the mind scan?
We are familiar with the mind scan, sir.
You understand that it will involve the
administration of psychotropic drugs,
that is, drugs that
affect your mental state,
making this process possible?
If you accept, say 'aye'.
Aye.
Please sign the consent forms and
seal them into the envelopes provided.
We reconvene at 10am tomorrow.
To test the voracity of their
defence, unknown to them,
I've had them placed in
artificial reality where their -
actions can be observed.
Right now, they believe they're escaping,
but we just want to observe what they do...
So, that means, that if anyone
happens to mention any...
special agreements... that
they've entered into...
Could you excuse me? I think
I... left the iron on...
Rimmer, one of the least able of my crew -
has started acting very suspiciously,
being incredibly insightful, and efficient.
I suspect he may have access to
the crew's confidential files.
We also believe he may be
in possession of a virus,
which makes him incredibly
attractive to the opposite sex.
This is obviously a
remarkable serum and,
as a responsible senior
officer of the Space Corps,
it's imperative I gain possession
of this solution and use some myself.
Oh - my - god - you are
sexy! So very, very sexy!
Yesterday he was observed injecting
his groin with anaesthetic -
something we believe he did
to regain some self-control.
Hi.
I also suspect someone, possibly Lister,
has given Rimmer access to
the crew's confidential files,
and he's using this information to
blackmail his way up the chain of command.
It's sickening, it's unforgivable,
but it's a technique that can work.
I should know: I used the same
method myself to become Captain.
If the crew discover I'm really
just Dennis the donut boy,
I'm finished.
I will continue to
observe Lister's actions
in AR and expect my
suspicions to be confirmed.
Report ends.
T minus eighteen seconds -
and counting; engines start.
This is Ground Control to Midget 3-
you don't appear to have flight clearance.
Please state your name and clearance code.
Ground Control, this is, er...
- Major Tom!
- Yeah! Major Tom -
Major Tom, what is your
clearance code and pilot number?
I'm sorry, I left all my
details in my other pants.
I'm sorry, I didn't catch that.
Woooowwww!
Without takeoff clearance
I can't permit you to fly.
I can handle this thing okay.
I'm good. I'm better than good,
I'm smoooooth, with a capital 'Smooooo'.
Well that's as maybe, but I need a
little proof you can fly that thing.
Fly!? I can make this thing dance!
Wow!
You free Saturday?
I am now.
Holy-shmoly! I got a date in three
day's time; I better start getting ready!
You're going nowhere,
man, we are outta here!
Now all we've got to do is get
a bearing on those damn nano's -
and we're cruising down Freedom Boulevard.
Getting something now, sir.
Good.
We didn't need that confidential files
scam I cooked up with Rimmer after all.
All that stuff I gave him on the
Captain... Double-dealing, two-faced rat!
Find - all - references
to - the - agreement
between - Lister - and
Rimmer - and - remove.
"All references removed. "
What was that? Something
weird just happened...
Yeah, I felt it, too.
There it was again!
And again.
Oh, my.
What is it?
I don't believe I'm here.
I have that feeling all the time.
I have it. I believe we're in
some kind of computer-manipulated,
psychotropically induced mind state.
You took the words right out of my mouth.
You mean this is our trial?
Our escape is our trial?
The envelopes... When we
signed the consent forms...
there must have been some kind of
drug on the gluey bit we licked.
So you mean nothing's been
real since then? Blue Midget?
The Ground Controller? None of that
was real? You mean after all this,
I still haven't got a date? Damn!
Another year when I have to sent
a Valentine's card to my hand...
No, this good, this is good!
It proves we're innocent!
Everything we've said
and done: escaping,
trying to track down the nano's;
it corroborates our story!
But you are guilty,
guys! Who are you fooling?
I dunno why I said that.
We're being framed...
Wait a minute, what's happening? I just
said "we're being framed" and suddenly -
It just happened again!
Everything we say's being -
Bananas.
If I say who I think's responsible
for this it'll get cut too,
so I'm not going to, but it's him.
I know it's him, you can bet on
it, and if I ever catch up to him,
I'm gonna cut off both his b-
blunt knife.
So how do we stop him?
If we're plugged into A.R. software
there must be a 'trap door' built
into the program
somewhere to allow escape.
You mean to help you get
out if the program freezes?
Precisely. There'll be a
cryptic clue around somewhere,
something like a trap door or exit...
I got it! There's a button here
with "E - 11- T" written on it.
And?
11 is "XI" in Roman
numerals. E - XI - T; "EXIT"!
He got that?
I think it proves, without a shadow
of a doubt, this is not reality!
Press it.
Now where are we?
Well somehow we've wound
up in the screen saver!
We need to locate a power source so
we can switch the A.R. machine off.
A power source? A.R.?
There has to be a clue around here
somewhere. Maybe it's in this ice hole?
There's some food in here?
So?
Including a bottle of ketchup...
So?
Power ketchup, get it?
What's to get?
Power sauce!
Pity he's only smart when
he's made out of plastecine..!
Press it!
Ohhhh... ohhhh...
You back-stabbin', weaselly
smegger! You were trying to frame us!
Listy! Just the man. Now, I know,
at first glance, this may look bad -
God, he's gorgeous...
Ohh, hold her back, please, hold
her, please! No more, no more!
Oh those nostrils! They're driving me
crazy, I've simply got to have them!
Hold her back, Kryten, help me!
Mister Cat, sir, put the lift on hold!
I want his babies!
The Luck virus, have you
still got it? Take some!
It'll cure the virus, and
restore you both to normal.
Oh god, that's so embarrassing...
What now, Holl?
No time to lose, you should head
for the nearest one of these:
You mean a moon?
Exactly.
He's right. We can regroup there and
continue our search for the nano's.
What about me?
Well, Mister Rimmer has had access
to the confidential files, sir.
He knows all the security codes.
Without him, our chances of
escape are about as remote
as meeting an interesting
hairdresser called Kylie.
So, what's it to be?
Look, if I leave I'm always
going to be a failure.
The shame of it. Every
time I have a boiled egg,
knowing I don't even
outrank the toastie soldiers.
I want to be an
officer, a man of honour.
But that's not gonna
happen for you now, man.
Just like it didn't happen
for the other Rimmer.
We're giving you a second chance
at life, and an opportunity for you
to screw it up in a
new and original way.
The old Rimmer was a
vital member of the team.
He performed essential
functions we've never replaced.
What did he do?
I dunno, really.
He, erm... he was, erm... he
was, erm... ah! Head of Safety!
"Head of Safety", that's a hell of
a title! But what did he actually do?
He sought out danger;
he sought out peril.
Then he advised us the best
way to run away from it.
Head of Safety. Five buttons. I'm in!
He's in? Let's celebrate! I'll
crack open a bottle of cyanide!
This is Ground Control.
You don't appear to have flight clearance.
You're the ground controller?
Please state your name and clearance code.
Reality sucks!
Your name's "Reality Sucks"?
One second, Mister Sucks.
Just checking my clearance lists...
Look, just do another smegging dance
and we'll get the hell out of here!
Dance? With her I'd have
trouble walking! Powering up!
Come back Mister Sucks, come back!
There's nothing on the scanner
for a thousand mile radius...
We're in the clear, guys!
Yes, oh yes!
I don't believe we are, ma'am...
What's up?
According to the supplies inventory
we're frighteningly low on...
oh, and everyone was so happy,
I can barely say it out loud...
What are we frighteningly low on? Oxygen?
Worse! Fabric softener!
Suggest we chart a course to the
nearest derelict, the SS Einstein...
before everyone's woolens
get all bibbly-bobbly!
Einstein? Wasn't he the
dude who discovered America?
Einstein discovered the
Theory of Relativity.
Where did he discover it?
Was it fossilised, and stuff?
The Theory of Relativity is...
What is the Theory of Relativity?
Yeah, what is it, Holl?
Bit busy at the moment, Dave.
Well, just tell us what is is in,
sort of, simple layman's terms.
It's a theory.
Yeah, but what is it?
Oh, you want it more
complicated than that, do you?
What does it mean?
It's the Theory of Relativity.
You know, it's the theory
you only tell your relatives.
It's so sad. Holly's supposed
to have an I.Q. of 6000.
Now, I doubt he could even spell I.Q.
If I'm so stupid, if I'm computer
senile, explain this then.
Explain what?
You can't, can you.
Explain what?
It's no good stalling, trying to buy time.
If I'm so stupid, explain why I was
able to re-create a new set of nanobots
and get them to resurrect the crew.
What?
I thought you'd be pleased.
But why?
My job is to keep Dave sane.
True, I'm not that good
at it, but I do my best.
That's why I create these little
diversions to keep him occupied.
But Holl, we could have wound
up doing two years in the brig!
Still could. I've just worked
it out, we're still in A.R.
What?
In computer jargon: my
plans have all gone tits-up.
I was out-thought, and out-manoeuvred.
Who by?
By a superior intellect.
You mean the hand-dryer in the men's
toilets has outsmarted you again?
No, by that other version
of me. The one on Red Dwarf.
This is still our trial.
Our trial? Why didn't you say? If
I'd have known, I'd have worn a tie!
Well, for me, Lister's
nanobots story is corroborated.
They were trying to track 'em down.
Their actions in the psychtropically
induced scenario bear that out.
I agree Frank. I also believe we
died, and were, indeed, resurrected.
Again, borne out by their actions.
So, original charges: all innocent.
But, its equally apparent that
they used classified information
from the crew's confidential
files to their own ends.
I suspected Rimmer had access the
moment he walked into my office
and began acting incredibly
smart and knowledgeable.
What a giveaway.
That's why I got him to lick
one of the psychotropic envelopes
when I invited him to dinner.
So, abusing classified
information. That's a fresh charge.
And on that, they're all guilty.
That's a statutory sentence.
I know. Two years in the brig.
So, instead of the original charge and a
possible sentence of two years in the brig,
they've been found
guilty on another charge,
and got an entirely different
two years in the brig.
That's going to be a
great comfort to them.
I'll bring them around, and break the news.
This is reality? But how can we be sure?
Why do we care? Nothing makes
any sense no matter where we are.
Look, everything was real before
we licked the envelopes, right?
Then we conked out, and got carted off
to A.R. before we licked anything...
before we licked anything...
I lent you my Holly watch!
So if this is reality, I
should still be wearing it...
Oh yeah, this is reality, all
right. I'd recognise it anywhere.
Also, sir, shouldn't
you have the viruses?
Again, you found them on Starbug
before we licked the envelopes.
The Luck virus; maybe we can
still get out of this mess.
I'll take that. The lab boys are
gonna want to run tests on it.
Where's the other one.
I'm afraid I lost it, sir.
God damn it, Rimmer! I wanted that!
Er, I mean, the lab boys wanted
it, to, er, test it, too. Damn!
This is all your fault.
My fault?
You betrayed us over that
confidential files scam -
Stole the Sexual Magnetism virus -
You lied to us -
And generally behaved like a self-serving,
scum-sucking, ruthless little ratbag!
And that's bad?
It is the finding of this enquiry that
you have been found guilty of contravening
Act 21 of the Space Federation.
Before sentencing,
you will have medicals
so you can be assigned
appropriate prison status.
I've buggered this up a bit, haven't I.
Welcome to the Tank...
What happened to my life?
Career, prospects, friends, I had everything
and I threw it all away. It's a tragedy.
What are you on about?
You had none of that stuff.
You're right, I had none of that stuff.
I had absolutely nothing and I threw it
all away. It's an even bigger tragedy!
What's this?
Canary outfits and first
meeting information.
I volunteered for the Canaries.
Some bloke came round the
machine shop so I signed up.
The Canaries?
Yeah, y'know, a bit
of close-part harmony,
and you should see the list of
privileges you get; unbelievable.
You don't know what the
Canaries are, do you?
Of course I do: a singing
group, acappella...
"You are the sunshine of my life,
ooo-ooh, that's why
I'll always be around"
They're nothing to do
with singing, are they?
Holly lied to me, didn't he?
Oh hey, he was taking the smeg.
Oh Listy! Listy, Listy, Listy!
Well go on then, what've I signed up for?
In the nineteenth century,
when miners went down a pit,
they'd lower a canary down
first in a little cage -
What, and make them do some mining?
They were sick in the nineteenth
century, weren't they, eh?
I mean, how much coal
can a little canary get?
And if the atmosphere was noxious, as it
frequently was, guess what the canary did.
Complained to the foreman?
It died, Listy. The canary's job
was to go into the most dangerous,
unpleasant and smeggy situations
and see if it could stay alive.
Then they'd know if it was safe
to send in the important people.
Oh, I'm gonna kill him!
How come you've never heard of the
Canaries? They've got recruitment posters
all over the men's bogs! How
come you've not seen them?
When I'm in the men's
toilets in prison, Rimmer,
I tend not to look around,
y'know what I'm saying?
It's like playing golf:
I concentrate on my grip,
keep my eye on the ball and
try not to veer off to the side!
They haven't got an X
chromosome to share between them!
Smeg!
It gets worse as well.
Worse! Go on.
I've signed you up, too.
I forged your signature, I
thought I was doing you a favour.
Me! Why?!
I've signed us all up.
Kryten, Kris, everyone!
No way! No way! No way
am I becoming a Canary!
It's a great honour for floor thirteen, for
today we are visited by Captain Hollister,
who has a special assignment.
At last, some action! I've
been going mental all this time,
cooped up, not killing nothing. Yes!
Kill Crazy, shut up, you punk!
Okay, listen up. We've located
a ship, the SSS Silverburg,
buried at the bottom of an ocean moon.
A remote probe has come
back with no signs of a crew,
no bodily remains, no skeletons, zip.
We want you guys to go on
board and, ah, find out why.
A- one, a-two, a-one-two-three-four:
"You are the sunshine of my life,
ooo-ooh, that's why
I'll always be around"
Rimmer!
Sorry, sir, we seem to have wandered
into the wrong hobby group,
we'll leave immediately.
Go!
Rimmer! You're here, and this is
where you'll stay, now get on with it.
Yes, sir, thank you, sir.
You heard what the warden said, he
wants us to get on with it. From the top!
"You are the sunshine of my life"
Rimmer!
Sorry, sir, when you said get
on with it I thought you meant -
Shut up! You're a Canary, man!
A member of the toughest
convict army this side of Pluto.
I've seen custard factories
that aren't as yellow as you are!
Start behaving like a man.
A man, sir, yes, of
course, sir, a man... a man.
Perhaps if you could remind
me, sir, it will all come back?
Continue, Captain.
It's inconceivable a ship like this
could be sent out without a crew,
so whatever devoured the crew, bones and
all, might still be there, so... be careful.
Let's go kill something! YESSSSS!
I hope its got, like, big teeth and claws
and, like, loads of heads. Yeah! Great!
Here we go! At last! Yeah!
Okay, stay together, keep 'em peeled.
- What's that!
- What? Where?
It's moving, shaking from
side to side like a leaf!
I think that's your shadow, sir.
Located the mainframe, maybe
it can tell us something.
Good evening, Arnold. I've been looking
forward to your arrival so very much.
How do you know my name?
My name is Cassandra. I am a computer
with the ability to predict the future
with an accuracy rating of 100%.
Bless you.
'Bless you'? What do you mean 'bless you'?
You need a tissue; Kris has
one in her left-hand pocket.
She says "would you like
this?"; you say "thanks".
- Would you like this?
- Thanks.
"Extraordinary".
Extraordinary.
"The questions we can ask,
it can tell us our future".
The questions we can ask,
it can tell us our future.
"But how does it work? The
future's not 'appened yet".
..I'm not gonna say that.
I never said you would.
But how does it work? The
future's not 'appened yet.
Although you do.
Smeg.
Let's ask her a question
about the future. A biggie...
Okay, Cassandra, do we ever get back
to Earth? Has the human race survived?
Do I ever find my singing tie-pin?
Look, do we want to know all
this stuff about the future?
I mean, do we want to know, for
example, how and when we die?
Kris is right. Something like that
could mess your life up forever.
Cassandra, I have a question.
I know, Arnold, because I know
the rest of this conversation.
So, what's the answer?
He chokes to death, aged
one-hundred and eighty-one,
trying to remove a bra with his teeth.
What was the question?
I just asked how you died.
You what? I didn't want to know that!
Who's bra?
A hundred and eighty-one? Probably your own!
Come on, no. Taking a bra off with m'
teeth, aged one-hundred and eighty-one.
That's a hell of a sexy way to go!
So long as the teeth are in
your mouth at the time, sir.
I'm really screwed up, now. I never
wanted to know that; know how I die.
It's completely spoiled the surprise!
Kryten, this is where you share
your theory with your crew-mates.
I have a theory, everyone. The Silverburg
didn't crash, did it, Cassandra?
The ship was sent here by the Space
Corps. on auto-pilot to get rid of you;
to abandon you at the bottom of a
lunar sea, in the depths of Deep Space.
That's brilliant, bud!
How'd you work that out?
I read it on this mission directive, here.
So, there was no dead bodies on board
because the ship didn't have a crew.
A computer that unerringly
predicts the future -
"Is a dangerous thing indeed"...
Is a dangerous... er, yes, precisely.
We, um, should be making tracks.
I'm afraid that that's not going to
happen. The bulkhead's just given away
and we're shipping water at
a thousand gallons a second.
All the Canaries will be dead
within one hour, except for Rimmer -
Yes!
Who will be dead in 20 minutes.
Only Lister, Kryten, the
Cat and Kochanski survive.
What happens to Rimmer?
He has a heart attack,
brought on by the stress
of knowing he's going
to die, and collapses;
collapses during a conversation with me
in nineteen minutes and thirty-one seconds.
I don't believe you, I
simply don't believe you.
We shall see, or rather, you
shall see; I have already seen...
All the hairs on the back of
my neck are standing on end!
Mine too, but not just the ones on the
back of my neck; it's one up, all up!
Kryten, replay out meeting with
Cassandra in your CPU and tell me if,
at any point, anyone
ever called me 'Rimmer'.
What?
At no point throughout the meeting
did anyone refer to you as 'Rimmer'.
In fact, we barely looked you.
That's just what I thought!
Cassandra said "Rimmer dies",
but it doesn't necessarily
follow that that means me!
Who does it mean then, your dad?
Look, Cassandra doesn't know the
future, she sees pictures of it.
She could have seen some other
guy die of a heart attack;
someone she's been
told is called Rimmer.
He's right.
All I have to do is find someone I can
introduce to Cassandra as 'Rimmer'...
and it'll be them that
stiffs out and not me!
Such lowlife conniving; its
impossible not to be impressed!
What I wouldn't give to
have your weasel gene, sir!
Now wait a minute!
Oh look, here's Mister Knot...
You made this area secure?
Yes, sir, Mister Knot, sir. Coffee, sir?
I've been asked by the Captain to
inspect the mainframe, where is it?
You idiot! What the hell
do you think you're doing?
Please, have my jacket, I insist!
Then I shall lead you to Cassandra.
There we are, sir, a perfect fit, sir.
Lead the way, Rimmer.
Don't call me 'Rimmer'!
That's your name...
Yes, but 'Rimmer'.. it's so full
of nobility and quiet courage;
call me 'arsewipe' or 'fishbreath', but
not 'Rimmer', sir, never 'Rimmer', sir.
Okay, arsewipe, whatever you
say. Now where's the mainframe!
Hello Arnold, bang on time.
I've brought you a visitor,
Cassandra. Do you know his name?
Yes, I do. Not -
- What?
- Not
- 'Knot'?
- Let me finish!
Not that it matters what his name is,
I mean, our relationship
doesn't last very long.
I understand you have
the ability to predict -
the future, yes, I do.
- A hundred percent reli...
- able, yes.
What happens to me;
do I get back to Earth?
No, you die in about four
seconds' time of a heart attack
after hearing the news that you're
going to die of a heart attack.
You filthy ly - Ack!
Poor Rimmer.
Yes, poor old 'Rimmer'.
My name is not -
Your name is not what?
Knot! Not...
Knot..!
Is he dead now?
I'm afraid so.
Yes!
He died of a massive
coronary, just as I prophesied.
Yes!
You seem inordinately happy, Arnold,
but why? You're going to die too.
But you said - I just...
I'm gonna die too?
I already told you: Rimmer
dies of a heart attack,
and then you and all the
other Canaries die too;
all except Lister, Kryten,
Kochanski and the Cat.
I've seen it.
That's as well as maybe,
but have you seen this?
Yes... I'm afraid I have...
You were right, there's nothing I can do.
According to Cassandra, our future
is decided and we four survive.
Therefore, while we're
here, we cannot die. Regard:
Duck sir!
Duck again, sir!
Just as i thought.
So, in other words, if I...
What was that for!?
You can't die!
Yeah, but I can still
feel pain, you smegger!
So how about this: we use our
'powers of invulnerability',
which will last until we return to
Red Dwarf, and surround Mister Rimmer,
escort him up to the Obs.
deck, and into the diving bell?
The diving bell! We've made it!
Where did he go?
Yo!
Hear that?
Water...
Kris, take cover, the water's coming!
Quick, the diving bell!
Great, everything's above us is flooded,
and now we're back down in the
bowels again with Cassandra!
It's coming true.
My death! It's all coming true.
You tried to cheat the future
and failed, as I knew you would.
So what happens now? How... How do I die?
Lister catches you
making love to Kochanski
and shoots you through the
head with a harpoon gun.
Can you just double-check that?
I've seen it, it's what
happens. In the old laundry room.
So let me just repeat what
I think you're saying...
Arnold, that's me, and
Kochanski, that's the woman,
the really attractive
one you saw earlier;
me and her were in bed, giving it
rizz, when Lister, that's the short,
dumpy one with the stupid
haircut, walks in and shoots me
through the head while I'm
making love with Kochanski?
That is what is going to happen.
Fantastic!
I can't believe what you're telling me..!
I can scarcely believe it myself.
I mean, obviously, you're
incredibly attractive;
I never thought you'd look at me twice!
Neither did I!
But, apparently, were gonna make love.
Unbe-smegging-lieviable
or what?
It's not warm in here, fancy a wee nip?
No, no, no, no.
But, why would I want to sleep with you?
I mean, it doesn't make any sense.
Maybe you get blind drunk?
Well that doesn't excuse
my other four senses!
Right, barely an hour to
go, shall we get started?
I mean, let's face it, you
can't change the future. Sadly.
But, you said, you could...
Yeah, I've changed my mind now.
Look, are you sure you wouldn't
like to play the opera game, instead?
Kris, it's what Cassandra
saw. You can't cheat fate.
Well, you just watch me,
because there's no way on earth
that I'm climbing out of my clothes,
and clambering into that bed.
My clothes are soaking!
Why don't you take them off,
and dry them on the heater?
It's coming true, it's all coming true...
It's coming true, it's all coming true!
Bud, you can't go back there!
Cassandra said Kris survives, and
the only way that's gonna happen is
if someone goes back in and saves her.
Chuck'us the harpoon gun, will you.
I'm not sure about this.
This is the first time
I've ever been seduced
by predeterminism theory.
One hour exactly...
Oh bloody, buggering hell!
Tonight must be the night
they put the clocks forward!
I've got it!
That's more than I did.
I've worked it all out.
I never get any breaks, ever!
Twenty seconds later
you could've been on top
and I could've used
you as a human shield.
I must have been mad, what
the hell was I thinking?
I felt sorry for you!
Look, will you shut up and listen to me?
No! Why aren't you mad
that I'm in bed with him?
'Cos i know why you're in bed with him.
and I also know that i don't kill him.
Aw, but Cassandra promised...
Cassandra made that up
to force you two together.
So that you'd feel sorry for him, and
hopefully end up sleeping with him.
So why did she say she saw it happen?
To try and make it happen.
But why?
To try and punish me!
Punish you? Why?
'Cos Cassandra knows, and has
always known, how she dies.
She's trying to make me
suffer now for something
that I'm destined to do in the future...
You kill her, don't you?
That's why she hates you.
Because she knows you're
going got kill her.
That's what this whole thing
was about. Kryten figured it out.
Kryten figured it out,
did he? Good old Kryten.
But did he really have to
figure it out quite so damn fast?
Would it have killed him to
take thirty minutes longer?
Ten minutes even? Two would have done.
I'm gonna take care of the
rest of it now. I'll, erm -
see you two lovebirds later...
Look, thanks for being with me tonight.
I can't think of anyone I'd rather share
my final hour with than
you, and I really mean that.
I'm not all bad, in fact, sometimes
I'm quite sweet and sensitive...
Bye.
- By the way?
- Mm-hm?
Is it okay if I keep these?
If the future's all
worked out, horoscopes,
all that stuff, it means
we're not responsible
for anything we do. It means
we're just actors saying lines
in a script written by someone
else. I don't wanna believe that.
I wanna believe I'm in charge
of my own life, my own destiny;
so I'm not gonna kill you,
Cassandra. I'm out of here.
But you do kill me, I've seen it.
Tomorrow's a new day. A fresh page
in a book that's not been written yet.
What happens in the future is up to me,
not some 'predetermined destiny' smeg.
I'll see you, kid-eh.
Smeg. Smeg...
The post's arrived.
Brilliant; a bit of excitement at last.
Good, eh? It's a beaut. One of
the structured collepsed on m' bed.
I think it was those beans.
Oh, the mail.
Haven't had a chance to
look. Anything from my mates?
Something catastophic, hideous.
He's found your guitar in Starbug's
wreckage and he's sending it here.
Brilliant!
Are you okay?
Of course I'm not okay!
I hate your guitar!
If I wanted to share a cell
with an irritating lump of wood
I'd have moved in with
an Australian soap star.
Hey-hey! The axe-man is back! You beaut!
Hang on! There's no strings!
They've confiscated the strings!
I feel like a man who leaps
out of a plane with no parachute
and lands in the hot-tub
at the Playboy mansion.
Why would they take my strings..?
It doesn't make sense...
Prison regs. You're not allowed
anything you can hang yourself with.
I wouldn't want to hang myself
if I had my guitar strings.
I think they were thinking of me.
Maybe my luck's changing...
at last, a break.
Oh, by the way; I forgot: for you.
"Because of the nature of your crime",
blah - blah - blah - blah -
blah, whr - wh - wh - wh - wh,
"we are willing to review your case"!
"For this process to be successful you
would need a record of good behaviour,
and accept the consequence that
a successful appeal would mean
similar amnesty for prisoner
colleagues in your situation. "
Yess!
You don't know what it's like, being
classified as a woman, sir. The humiliation.
I know, I know.
I mean, why should I, a Series
4000 mechanoid, have to endure
the turgid monotony of showering with the
girls? Three times a week! Tell me that!
It's not fair, I know! It's just that -
You shower with the girls?
Oh! It's so hideously
dull I can't describe it,
as they stand around soaping themselves.
Their bodies all wet and foamy.
Can you imagine it?
Oh my goodness, we've
been frozen in time again!
Hello?
Extraordinary! It must be a
warp in the time-space continuum!
How curious it isn't affecting me...
Oi, droid-boy, oi; next
time you're in the showers,
why don't you... y'know...
smuggle in a camera
and film 'em, eh? Yeah,
that'd be brilliant!
Oi, I haven't seeen a naked
woman since... well, ever.
Yeah, I'd pay you... wha'd'ya say?
No, I forbid it!
Yeah, me -
What?
It's voyeuristic,
exploitative, and immature.
All right, who are you? And what
have you done with our Rimmer?
Gentlemen, allow me to
clarify my position.
Morally speaking, using a hidden
camera in the women's showers,
taking shots of them sudding themselves with
mounds of foam, without their permission,
morally speaking, I'm speaking
morally here, I'm all in favour!
However, Listy has been invited to
appeal and a scam like this could ruin it.
Appeal?
Yeah, I'm appealing.
That's a minority view.
Look, if he's successful,
we can all be successful.
We've just got to be model prisoners.
Screw his appeal! I wanna see skin!
Yeah! Wha'd'ya say, bird-tray head?
Are you asking me to betray
the people I live with?
To ignore their humanity and
reduce them to mindless sex objects,
merely there for your
moronic titilation?
Yes, please!
If you'll excuse me, I
forgot who I was for a moment.
Wait, what you doing?
I'm a woman, and proud of
it. If you'll excuse me,
I'll with my fellow sisters,
doing it for ourselves!
I'm going to make this quick, and easy.
Last night, on D-wing, I
was beaten up, and mugged.
You have one chance. I'm going to turn
the lights off for precisely ten seconds,
during which I want whover took
it... to return my glass eye.
Kill the lights.
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six -
I'm glad to see good sense prevailed.
I have a date with Miss Patricia
Carling from Supplies on Saturday night.
She thinks my eyes are my best feature.
If I go like this, I'M ONLY HALF LOVELY!
If it's not returned
within thirty seconds;
all Canary priviliges
suspended. One month.
I know who stole your left peeper, sir.
It was him, sir. I saw him playing
marbles with it this morning, sir.
Thank you, Rimmer.
Have you gone mad? You don't rat on
other inmates, its an unwritten law.
Look if it helps the appeal, what
else matters? 'Model prisoners'?
Would the sky really fall in if
people just tidied up a little?
Good evening. Tonight's scheduled
feature has been cancelled,
and replaced with a special,
live, pay-per-view event
brought to you courtesy of "Krytie TV"!
Transmitting live via
my optical receptors,
we bring you live, and
lithe, Womens Shower Night!
Are they really gonna show this?
No way! This is a joke, right? This isn't-
Oh, momma...
You know what this means, don't you?
There is a God?
They got to him, they reprogrammed Kryten.
If we get caught watching this
your appeal's dead in the water.
Forget the appeal.
I already have!
What about Kris? She's never gonna
believe I wasn't involved in this!
We've gotta stop it.
You're right, I want no part of this.
- Me neither.
- We've gotta go.
Right now.
Not a minute to lose.
I'm dust.
Me too.
After two. One, two, go!
And now, I'm gonna stare
at a cracked floor tile.
What's he doing that for!?
Remember, Shower Night is a pay-per-view
event. Start filling those buckets!
I can't believe this, he's
running it like a business!
There's even a bloke over
there selling ice-creams.
Never mind him. Now.
We've gotta go, right now.
I'm going, I'm going.
But now, lets get up-close and personal
with one of the shower-ees,
Miss Kristine Kochanski...
Fancy a choc-ice?
Okay; splendid. Later.
Mister Kryten; visitor, sir.
Kryten. Look, I know
Kill-Crazy's reprogrammed you;
turned you into a ruthless entrepreneur,
but I think I know how to change you back.
Well, keep it to yourself, sir.
I'll make it worth your while...
Can't you see what it's done to you?
It's made me rich, feared and respected.
I'm loving every minute of
it! I've just bought the rights
to the five-a-side soccer tournament today;
tomorrow, I'm hoping to get the boxing.
Ahhhh, Miss Kochanski! Good to have you
back, I have a little gift for you...
Ooh, another one?
Nothing's too good for you, ma'am!
You know you were worried about
picking up verrucas in the shower room?
Well, I have the perfect
solution; a waterproof pogo stick.
This has got to stop.
But the pogo stick could put the
ratings through the roof, sir!
Think of the money! Think of the show!
I'm crazy about her! I'm
not gonna let you do this.
Do what?
How do you think Kryten got all this?
"Shower Night Live". Oh God, is he
paying some of the girls to do this?
Who's that with the sponge?
That's me!
It replaced the Wednesday night movie.
I saw the whole thing; all three
terrible hours of it. It was awful.
Is that the time? I've got a
merchandising meeting in two minutes.
Heh, excuse me!
You are dead, nickel-hydrate breath!
And you!
What have I done?
You were there for three hours of it!
Yeah, but I didn't
enjoy it! I was outraged.
Why do you think I
only had one choc-ice?
How could you go along with this?
I'm only human. You were
completely naked, starkers, nude,
in the buff, totally
kit-less, no clothes on!
You've seen me with no
clothes on when we went out!
Yeah, but, I wanted to see
if anything had changed.
Why didn't you just ask,
instead of filming me in secret?
Because you'll have said 'no'.
Not necessarily. If I'd known
it meant that much to you,
that you needed to see me naked so badly,
I wouldn't necessarily have said 'no'.
You wouldn't?
No. Well, we're friends aren't we?
It never occured to me
that I could just ask.
Oh, you're such a great friend.
I love being your friend.
Kris..?
No! Not now, and now, not ever!
But you just said -
We're not friends any more...
The girls found out about Shower Night.
They attacked me, cleaned out
my system and kicked me out.
I've been reclassified as a man...
I feel terrible, sir, for
endangering your appeal.
It's not your fault,
Kryten, they got to you.
I presume you've heard the
news about Miss Kochanski.
What news?
- You haven't heard?
- Heard what?
- The news.
- What news?
You haven't heard the news?
Heard what news?
No one's told you?
Told me what?
About Miss Kochanski?
What about Miss Kochanski?
About Miss Kochanski and
her ex-boyfriend, Tim.
What about Miss Kochanski
and her ex-boyfriend, Tim?
- I can't believe you don't know!
- Know what?
No one told you?
Told me what!?
You mean to say that you're standing
there blissfully unaware of the news
about Miss Kochanski and
her ex-boyfriend, Tim?
What news about Miss Kochanski
and her ex-boyfriend, Tim!?
- I don't believe it.
- Believe what!?
Psh, tsk, I'm so traumatised no
one's had the guts to tell you
the horrible, terrible, terrible,
appallingly hideous, awful news!
I'm not sure I can even speak now.
Kryten, there's a two hundred foot
drop down there; now tell me the news.
Well, she's started
going out with Tim again.
He's taking her to the
Officer's Club tonight.
Her probation permits it,
providing she's back by ten.
Ohhh. This is all down to
that shower thing, isn't it?
You know what Tim's like,
sir. Impossibly handsome,
oozes charm, a great lover.
And you're just... you.
It's so unfair!
You must feel awful.
Well I do now! God!
You're taking this very well,
sir. I... I'm really impressed.
No I'm not, man, I'm falling apart.
I know that, but I was
just trying to cheer you up!
What can I do?
You've gotta deal with your grief, man.
Breakup is very much like a bereavement:
its usually followed by a
cremation and some sandwiches.
Look, they haven't seen
each other for ages;
they're only going out for a meal.
What's the worst thing
that could happen?
It's a tragedy.
What are you so bothered about?
I thought you hated the idea of
me and her getting it together?
That was the old me, sir. I've
grown and matured since then.
No, the new me wants you to have children
so I can iron those itty-bitty little socks!
And you're not getting any younger,
sir, and neither are your sperms.
I'm getting worried about those guys.
Any older and they'll need a Stanner
stairlift to get up the fallopian tubes!
So what do you propose?
We nail that horny stag and get
you and the divine Miss K together.
It's my way of saying 'sorry'.
But nothing that's going
to endanger the appeal...
First, we sabotage the date.
What, 'we'? You mean you're gonna help me?
Step on board the 'love express', sir!
Now, we get to his quarters
through the air vents;
I've paid off the guards. Then you
make him look like the nerdiest slob
in the entire universe: this is
what you leave in his quarters -
a half-eaten onion sandwich.
That's always a passion-killer.
Is it? I like those.
Then there's this:
"Morris Dancer Monthly".
What a total dweebo, nerdmeister
he'll look with those!
They're mine!
And then there's these: tragically
unfashionable underpants.
They're mine!
And finally: Christian rock music. It
that doesn't scare her off, nothing will.
Have you been going through my things?
And not forgetting...
A pair of scissors?
This is the piece de resistence...
"Frank Acissi and the
Apostles" - "Hyms in Rock" -
Some digestive biscuit...
The love assassin...
What Mister Lister doesn't know, of
course, is he's been set up by Krytie TV!
Shh! Here he comes now!
Mister Lister!
Kryten, is that you?
You trashed that room
because you believed
Miss Kochanski was
dating Tim, didn't you?
What, you mean she isn't?
Look who's quarters you really trashed...
You said the girls had
restored you back to normal!
Whoops! You've been Krytered!
I've wrecked Ackerman's quarters!
THE APPEAL!
But the surprises haven't
finished yet, here on Krytie TV,
because Mister Ackerman and his red
hot date are due back any second.
Sir, it's a race against time!
Start cleaning that room!
Sorry to keep droning on about
this, but what about THE APPEAL!
Smeg!
Oh smeg..!
Thanks for watching,
folks; see you next time!
There he is!
Kryten, come here a minute...
I was just trying to boost the ratings, sir!
Get him, and bring him back to the Tank!
It was nothing personal!
The appeal.
Oooohhhhh... YES!
"Dear Mister Lister, your
appeal has been successful"!
"From this day forth all inmates with
no record of violence or depression
will be allowed... to have
strings on their guitars"...
This appeal was all about guitar strings?
You didn't think it was about
getting out of here, did you?
You mean to say I've
been busting my balls
so you can have strings on
your lousy, stinking guitar?
You've been a brick, man.
And as a personal 'thank you',
I thought I'd write you a song...
I understand you played an idiotic prank
on a senior and much
respected officer yesterday.
That is just not true, sir. We played
a prank on Mister Ackerman, sir -
Oh, I see...
What happenned?
We inserted a capsule
of the truth serum,
sodium pentathol, into
his asthma inhaler, sir.
Ah, which is why he rushed
onto the bridge this morning,
apologised for being late,
saying he'd been having 'jiggy-jiggy'
with the Science Officer's wife,
and hadn't allowed enough time to
change out of his Batman outfit...
Permission to snigger, sir?
Permission refused.
May have to snigger anyway, sir...
Do either of you have anything to say?
About what, sir?
About Mister Ackerman! About him being
late, and wearing a Batman outfit?
Has he considered being Tarzan?
Costume change'd be much quicker.
You two are both serving a
two-year sentence in the brig.
Do you want to get out? Ever?
It's that Mister Ackerman's
so... horrible, sir.
I am not, sir! I'm extremely
nice! Lovely, in fact.
Warm; caring, but most of all, nice.
Hence my nickname: 'Nicey' Ackerman.
That's why I entered the service, sir;
so I could share my sunny disposition
with inmate scum who didn't
have my start in life.
Sir, he's been horrible since
the day we first met him:
Today, we have a new intake.
To them, I say: obey the
rules; keep out of trouble,
and you time here will pass much
more pleasantly. Welcome to Floor 13.
Seems like a nice guy!
If you want to speak, ask my permission.
I was just saying how nice you seemed!
You spoke again.
But I was paying you
a compliment, buddy!
I was saying how you seemed to be
a fair-minded, okay kind of guy;
not one of these psycho-types you
sometimes get running around prisons.
You spoke again!
Come on, dude, back me up!
Hang on, wait! I get it, I should shut
up! If I shut up they'll stop hitting me.
That is definitely the key!
That is totally untrue, sir!
Save it! Save it, Mister Ackerman.
I've thought long and hard
about a suitable punishment,
and I've come up with this:
you, and a team of your choice,
will play Basketball against a team
of guards led by Mister Ackerman -
God bless you, sir.
where you will be trounced and humiliated
in front of the entire inmate population.
But sir, if we lose, Baxter and
his cronies will beat us to a pulp!
You better win, then!
Okay guys, way to go!
- Where were you?
- Where was I?
You were supposed to be picking up Rice!
I did. We're meeting up
for drinks on Thursday.
Not that kind of 'picking up', you ninny.
Buddies, we've gotta stop
arguing, we can't lose this!
Got it all taken care of...
As soon as the guards swig
their half-time juice...
Yeah, the Skutters managed to smuggles
something out of the medi-lab for us,
y'know that stuff that helps impotent
guys put the zest back in their love lives?
'Boing!', the virility enhancement drug!?
That's the stuff, and we've
Mickey Finn'd their drinks.
Within seconds, you're harder
than a quadratic equation,
and, it doesn't wear
off for seven hours.
For seven hours those guys
are going to be like catapults!
That's going to seriously slow them down.
You're not kidding -
Try moving fast with a
fishing pole in your pants!
Get out there and kill!
They're lambs to the slaughter!
Go on, go get 'em!
Come on! Get your hands up!
Get your hands up, don't let
them shoot! Don't let them shoot!
Seven hours. Do you
know how long that is?
I couldn't remove my
shorts until after midnight!
When I wanted a leak I had to do
a handstand on the toilet seat.
I stopped the lift doors from
closing; I wasn't even catching a lift!
Where'd you get it, the medi-lab?
Yes, sir.
How? If it was one of those damn
Skutters I'm gonna have it crushed.
It was, er -
It was me, sir. When the
doc's back was turned.
I went up to the medi-lab for a
sicknote but the doctor thought
I was feigning illness. He didn't accept
it was possible to have Athelete's Hand.
First thing tomorrow you're
on spud-duty for two weeks.
Now get out of my sight, both of ya's...
Are we supposed to tip them? I'm never sure.
I've seen things more appetising
on the floor of elephant houses.
Only a total idiot would eat this.
They call this meat?
We're on a punishment menu now. No
chips, no ice-cream, just the basics.
Because we're on punishment detail?
Yeah. Kill Crazy reckons they give us the
cloning experiments that have gone wrong,
with some gravy slopped
over to disguise it.
You waited until I was swallowing
'til you said that, didn't you.
Ooohhhh, chicken vindaloo...
Nice one, Bob.
What about the poppadums, you
didn't forget them, did ya?
Ha haaa!
Poppadums...
Here's a little something for you...
Same time tomorrow!
Cheers.
Is that the Skutter who got you the
stiffening solution for the basketball game?
Yeah, he can get anything,
can Bob. 'A claw in every pie'.
Tomorrow we're on spud-duty, and
those knives are supposed to be
as sharp as a Chemistry
teacher's cardigan.
Do you reckon he can get us a
couple of good potato peelers?
Hang on, I'm on to something here...
Forget the potato peelers,
what we want is one of those programmable
viruses from the science block...
Programmable what?
Yeah, they used to be on... Z-deck...
I wonder if the nano's
have reconstructed them?
You can program them to do whatever
you want: eat potato skins, you name it.
So we could program them to eat the skins
off the potatos, and leave the rest intact?
We wouldn't have to lift a finger!
Two weeks of hell would
become 'potato paradise'!
Now remember, two entire battalions
went missing from this ship.
Vanished without trace.
We must stick together -
and remain constantly vigilant.
One minute, everything's fine,
then you lose concentration
for a split second, and you're all alone
and easy pickings for some hostile lifeform.
Oh, I know you think I'm a bit of a
fusspot when it comes to safety procedures,
but it's staying alert that
has kept us all - kept us -
Hello?
Oh Creator, I'm on my own...
Hey, buddy! We're in here!
What is the point of me giving
my 'stay alert, everyone' pep-talk
if no one is listening?
What?
Look at this.
What are they, Holl?
They look uncannily like something
you should be very, very afraid of.
- What?
- Mime artists.
The ones you get in those trendy town
centres, that chase you down the street,
and then freeze when you look at
them, and everyone laughs at you.
I've never seen anything
like this before.
A group of men who display
all the normal lifesigns,
but seem totally incapable of movement.
Never seen QPR play away, then?
'Tempus'; that's Latin for 'time'.
Latin? I didn't even know
the Romans built spaceships.
Somehow this device appears
to have caused Time to freeze.
Obviously, they used it erroneously.
Where did -
you come from? And how did -
you get hold of that? It's some kind of tem-
poral stor-
age unit -
Extraordinary!
Hey, this could be a great
device for settling arguments!
Don't mess -
with that thing, it can re-
lly screw -
ew-ew-ew -
you up!
It appears to be able to digitise Time,
and then download it and
store it on a hard drive.
This 'purer' Time can then be
uploaded into objects, or places.
To freeze people?
Er, technically they're
not frozen, ma'am,
merely operating in a
different 'Time stream'.
So you mean they're moving,
just incredibly slowly?
About the same speed as the
average Little Chef waitress.
That's why they don't appear
to be actually doing anything.
So, this device has the ability to
make Time come to a complete stop?
What else can it do?
What's happenned!?
Kryten, why are you so big, and
why do I suddenly feel like a Vimto?
Waahhhh! You gotta get me back to normal!
Do something! I can't go back like this!
Why not? You may only be three feet
tall but you're both as cute as buttons!
Eeuuur! What's happenned to my hair!?
And what's happenned to mine!
You look like the Turkish entry
in the Eurovision song contest.
It seems to have restored your hair to a
previous Time period to the rest of you.
Compensating:
Now its regressed your outfits
to a previous time in your lives!
And you still look like the Turkish
entry in the Eurovision song contest.
So, here's the question:
can you unfreeze these guys
but take them back in Time so they
have no memory of finding this?
I think so, ma'am. Why?
If we can smuggle
this back on Red Dwarf,
it can make our prison
terms pass in seconds!
Leave this to me. I have an
excellent place to conceal it.
Nice - one - Bob...
It's not working, is it?
Give it a bit of time to get going.
Look... look!
It's working on this one...
Yess!
And here's another!
Yess!
And another!
Yesss!
And another!
Fan-smegging-tastic!
Listy, we're on our way!
They're gonna do the
whole damn room in minutes!
Hey, what's happenned to your sleeve, man?
What?
Your sleeve; I didn't notice that before..?
My God, they're eating my clothes!
Well?
It wasn't me, sir, it
was him. He made me do it.
You Judas! I thought we'd
agreed to refuse to talk?
Just let me blame you first,
then I'll refuse to talk.
If I ever, ever, see
you in this office again,
then you're in the Hole,
is that what you want?
No, sir.
Well then, get out.
Thank you, sir. Thank you.
You haven't been down to the medi-bay
to get this virus off, have you...
I probably shouldn't have
shaken your hand, sir.
- That was probably a mistake.
- Big mistake, sir.
I, um - we'll... We'll be going, sir.
Right now.
That's it! Two months! In the Hole!
Sir? What about my Athelete's Hand?
Now!
Straight after lunch, we zap the
ship with a two year download of Time,
and the records will show that we've served
our sentences, and are free to be released!
This machine's amazing! D'you
think it can do boob jobs, too?
Obviously, I'm just
thinking about the future...
You spilled my soup!
Sorry, Baxter! Non-bud! It was an accident!
Hot Bovril!
Aaaagghhh!
Look at him... the big lug. I'd
hate to clean the bath out after him.
He'd need a sander to
get rid of the tidemark,
and a leaf-vac to hoover the hair!
Fix him! Fix him with the Time wand!
Watch this!
'Ello!
Ehh? There's someone in here with us!
Yeah, it's that bloke sittin' next to you.
Who are you? What's your name?
They call me 'Birdman'.
Oh aye? Why's that?
Because he really likes instant
custard; why do you think?
This is Pete; 'E's nine years
old... which, in sparrow years,
is, er... nine years old.
So that makes him, er...
Nine..?
Nine, that's right! You
met him before, 'ave you?
Two months of this, God!
What's this?
What happenned to everyone?
It's like they're all frozen on the spot.
Yvonne McGruder went like
this when I tried to kiss her.
Hey, hey, this'll drive them crazy!
- Hey!
- Guys!
- Heyy.
- Oh, sirs!
Buddies!
This, is 'Birdman'.
And this is Pete.
We've found this machine that can digitise
Time, and we can release jets of it,
and we reckon it can make our
sentence pass in a nanosecond!
Hats off, sirs...
There's somethin' wrong with Pete...
What?
'E's gone all stiff!
He must have drunk the
guards' half-time juice.
Not that kind of stiff; he's dead!
The excitement of bein' free 'as killed 'im!
He really loved that bird, it was
only thing that kept him going.
I can't guarantee anything, sir, but I think
the Time Wand could bring him back to life;
make him young and strong again.
Watch:
Holy...
Smeg!
Where the hell did Barney's
ugly brother come from?
From Pete, sir. Birds are
descended from dinosaurs;
from the Theropod family.
I inadvertently reversed
evolution several million years!
There's an old Cat saying, which
has particular relevance here;
it goes something like
this: "we are all gonna die!"
Pete? Is that you, Pete?
Birdman!
Gezundtheit!
You want some seed..?
That's a 'no' then, is it?
What now, sir?
Follow the Rimmer-shaped blur!
What happenned to everyone?
It's like they're all frozen on the spot.
Hey, hey, this'll drive them crazy!
We've found this machine that can digitise
Time, and we can release jets of it

Follow the Rimmer-shaped blur!
Hey! Hey! Pete, eat me! Here!
Bob! Bob, catch!
Bob!
Bob!
Come on Kryten, hurry up!
Leg it mode, sir!
We've lost the time wand.
How the hell're we going to
get rid of that thing now?
We're finished!
Stop yelling, man, we've gotta
think our way out of this.
We're finished!
Shut up and get a grip, man!
Kryten?
Er, yes, ma'am?
How long, in the
normal course of things,
will it take for Pete to pass
the Time Wand out of his system?
Well, strangely enough, ma'am, I don't
have that information in my database.
My programmers, for some insane reason,
decided that 'dinosaur bowel
movement frequency' tables
wouldn't be required. Imbeciles!
Why? What's your suggestion?
Well, the quicker we get the
Time Wand back, the better, right?
Right.
Right. So, why don't we lure Pete into the
food bay and get him to eat some roughage!
Get a T-Rex to eat roughage?
Yeah! All-Bran, prunes, baked
beans on toast, that sort of stuff.
We've gotta keep this dinosaur
business quiet or we're dead.
Everyone on the ship will
have heard him by now.
But, sir, the crew are frozen,
operating on a different Time stream.
Now, if we can recapture
the Time Wand and turn Pete
back into a sparrow before the freeze
expires, no one need be any the wiser.
He's right. I just listened
to everthing he said
and I still ain't got a
clue what's happenning.
Right over, sir. We don't
want a gap. Right over.
Cow vindaloo? It's not gonna work.
Of course it's gonna work.
T- Rex's don't like curry.
Look, we've got nothing to lose.
And if the worst comes to the worst, and
the dino doesn't it, I'll scoff it myself.
That door's not gonna hold out much longer.
Don't put that stuff in,
you're gonna spoil the taste!
Here he comes!
It's loving it!
Maybe we should have made some
poppadums, gone the whole hog?
The whole hog? Like it wasn't
hard enough getting the whole cow?
I think he wants a lager.
It was a hot one, but with it being
a dino I thought it could stand it!
The Time freeze on
the guards must have...
If only those buttons
were more clearly marked!
The rules about dinosaurs aboard
JMC mining ships are very clear.
No pets. Am I right? Am I right!?
Yes, sir.
Have you any idea the
damage that thing has caused?
Sir, if you could just let us -
And do you know what happens
when a dinosaur eats cow vindaloo,
and then eats two and a half
tons of mint-choc ice cream,
followed by four hundred crates of orange
ice-pops, and swills the whole thing
down with two thousand gallons of a popular
fizzy drink? Do you know what happens?
It burps?
Oh, it burps. And do you know what
happenned to the poor brave men
who had the misfortune to
get in the way of that burp?
They went 'phwoooarrr!'?
It took out the entire platoon, hurling
them twenty feet across the cargo bay wall.
Do you know what happens when
a dinosaur eats cow vindaloo,
two and a half tons
of mint-choc ice cream,
followed by four hundred
crates of orange ice-pops,
and swills it all down
with two thousand gallons
of a popular fizzy
drink, after it's burped?
It feels sick?
Oh no! It doesn't feel
sick, Rimmer, it is sick!
Five of our best men nearly drowned!
Two others are in hospital, concussed by
pieces of carrot the size of tree trunks.
We are really, deeply,
deeply, deeply sorry, sir.
Do you know what happens when a
dinosaur has eaten cow vindaloo,
then eats two and a half tons of
mint-choc ice cream, followed by -
Oh god, it didn't?
It didn't what, Lister?
It didn't get a diarrhea attack, did it?
One hundred percent correct!
And, do you know what happenned to the
battalion that was sneaking up on the beast,
from behind, of which I was a proud member?
Do ya know? Do ya know what happenned?
Yes, sir. A fair idea, sir.
A tidal wave. Fifteen feet high. I will
be in therapy for the rest of my life.
I've had twelve baths,
and three showers.
Now, do you have anything to say?
Yes, sir, I think you missed a
bit up your left nostril, sir.
No one knows how to work this thing.
It is sedated in the cargo bay,
turn it back into a sparrow!
Sir, erm, what about Bob? Did he show up?
Who the hell do you think landed on
my head? He is in repairs, being oiled.
Bring back the sparrow, and, if
you try anything smart, you're dead.
Yes, sir.
And, if I ever, ever, ever,
see you in this office again,
you are finished. See ya in ten minutes?
See ya in ten minutes?
See ya in ten minutes?
See ya in ten minutes?
See ya in ten minutes?
See ya in ten minutes?
Did you get punishment duty too?
I've got to iron eight-hundred
prison smocks. I don't understand...
Why do you get punishment
duty and I get a reward?
Eight-hundred! Bliss!
Did you see the Captain's report?
The one lying open on his desk?
See what it said about you?
He used the word 'imbecile'
four times in one sentence.
Oh yeah? What were the
other words in the sentence?
Just your name, and a dash.
I don't know, you make a
couple of tiny mistakes,
you give the Captain a virus
that eats all his hair off,
then you accidentally turn
a sparrow into a dinosaur
and you never hear the last of it!
Pssshhhhh. He really
thinks I'm an imbecile?
I'm finished, I'm never going
to make it into High Command now.
It's just the people who know
you who think you're an imbecile.
Everyone else thinks you're a moron.
He is a good Captain, though, Captain
Hollister, isn't he, eh? On the ball. Quick.
Quick? The only time he's quick
is when he's passing a salad bar.
You do admire him though, don't you?
Admire him? A man who has his own cinema
pick-and-mix factory in his quarters?
A man who has a walk-in fridge? Who lists
as his hobbies 'chewing' and 'swallowing'?
You did tell me once before,
though, you do respect him, don't ya?
Respect him? A man who's family crest is
made up of two cream buns and a profitarole?
A man who's idea of a light snack -
- He's standing behind me, isn't he?
- Yes, he is.
I was just talking about you, sir.
I was saying what a big fat
lump of blubber I think you are,
and how that potato virus
I contracted yesterday
doesn't appear to have had any
strange side-effects whatsoever -
You forgot this. You
left it in my office.
D'you have any idea the damage that this
could cause if it got into the wrong hands?
LOOK AFTER IT!
You're there, I know you're
there, you little sod!
Come on, out! Out!
There's a mouse under here, its been
scuttling around for about ten minutes.
It's not a mouse, ma'am, it's Archie.
Archie?
My penis. It must have escaped.
You know, I'm really going to
have to get my ears syringed;
do you know what that
sounded like to me?
I made one.
Forget my ears, maybe my whole brain
needs syringing... You made one?
Mmm. Out of an old electron board, a
loo roll, some sticky-backed plastic
and an Action Man's polo-neck jumper.
Kryten, why do you want one?
It's so humiliating, being
posted to the Women's Wing
just because I'm genitally challenged! So
I decided to make one like Mister Lister's.
Little rascal must have got bored
jumping in and out of his hoop
and made a break for
it during the night.
No wonder I couldn't lure
him out with a bit of cheese.
This whole thing's making sense now.
Just leave this to me, ma'am.
Here, Archie! Here, boy!
There he is!
Kryten, do you realise what this means?
No, ma'am.
It means you're a real man.
It does? Why?
Because now, like all men, you have
absolutely no control over your penis.
I'm so proud!
Archie, come back!
All right, girls? New Canary mission.
What?
Un-tamed dino on the loose!
We're not going in 'till
we know what we're doing.
That could take years...
You... point that thing at yourself
and you could end up as a - a - sperm!
Is that what you want?
Hell no! None of my suits will fit!
Well, if that gizmo thing don't work,
Captain says we gotta go
in and 'ave that thing.
And we ain't usin' no guns.
Yeah, huns are for wusses. It's
gonna be hand-to-hand combat.
A fistfight with T-Rex..?
Yeah, but them T-Rexes, mate...
only got little arms, in't they...
ain't got no reach... Yeah,
I'll just pick it off...
Bosh!
Oh my god..!
What!
Something's wrong!
What d'you mean, man?
Something's inside me
and it wants to get out!
Oh my god!
Aaaarrggg! Help!
What is it?
I think it's Archie, sir.
It's who?
He escaped earlier,
probably followed us.
Must have dozed off in the
Cat's pocket and just woken up.
Who the smeg is Archie?
Oh, don't be alarmed, sir. It's
just my penis is on the loose.
Yaaarrrggg!
We, want a barny with Barney, don't
want any sane people spoilin' it...
Death... or glory... yee-harr!
Hang on guys, come on, wait a minute...
This thing's useless!
Say goodbye to your teeth...
Something's not right... we're gettin'
our butts kicked and it doesn't hurt..?
See, look, I'm not even bleeding.
You're right...
According to this, sirs,
they've put your bodies
on a different Time
stream to the rest of you.
Let's go!
You lost the Time Wand?
We were ambushed, sir.
By whom?
Well, first of all by Kryten's -
Harummph!
and then we were jumped by -
Harummph!
sir.
That's it?
Okay. No more 'Mister Nice
Guy', no more second chances.
You get that Time Wand back,
you get that sparrow back,
and if you step out of line one more
time, one more time, you're dead!
Do you understand?
What was that?
I th-
What the hell is going on?
The effects of the fight,
they've caught up with us!
Get out of here, both of you! Out!
Gettin' that Time Wand back could take
forever, and they could zap us with it,
and turn us into anything!
I don't think getting it back
is gonna be much of a problem...
It's gonna go wrong, isn't it.
Look, all I've gotta do is press 'undo',
and the Time Wand will retrace its steps,
and undo everything its done so far.
This way we'll even get Birdman back.
Something's gonna go wrong,
it always does for us.
Will you relax?
Birdman's boots. Now to
get the rest of him back.
Pete ate me. He ate me.
He must be really out of sorts,
he's never eaten me before; never.
Pete!
You want some seed?
Now, destroy the Time Wand.
This machine's priceless!
Destroy it!
What are we gonna do now?
Now... rebuild... the Time
Wand, it's absolutely priceless!
Stop that dinosaur!
It's gone in the lift, its gone in the lift!
Get it back, get it back! Get it back...
Ooh, that coconut milk felt great...
Oh, I'm such a wreck...
Mmmm... ooohhhh... aahhh, oh, that's great.
Ohh, there's a certain roughness about
your touch that really hits the spot!
The Hole, sir...
.Come in...
..Come in...
..Come in!...
Can I come in, sir?
I did knock, sir, perhaps
you didn't hear me?
Your hot lemon, sir.
God-damn yellow fever. I've still got that
jowly, flabby, puffiness around my cheeks.
Wasn't that there before your illness, sir?
Yes, I'm sure it was, because -
Let me tuck you in, sir.
How's life on probation? Fouled it up yet?
Enjoying it, sir.
Some directives for you to sign, sir:
What's this 'Space Core Free Pardon'
exonerating you of all crimes doing in here?
I'm so sorry, sir, it's just,
if I've got a record, I'll never become
an officer and command my own ship.
Another ambition achieved...
You think I could become
an officer, one day, sir?
Look, it gives me no pleasure
telling you this, Rimmer,
but I'm sorry, you're
just not officer material.
'Not officer material', sir?
If you wanna take my advice
you'll redirect your energies
and find something that you have
a genuine chance of succeeding at.
Like what, sir?
So you're saying I'm never going
to become a Captain, sir? Never?
They said it was okay to drop by...
Talia? We-ll, hi!
Hi!
Ah, Rimmer was just leaving...
I can't believe we've run into one
another again after all this time!
Well, the nanobots must have resurrected
you, too! You look... wonderful.
You made Captain; you've done so well.
Your own ship... wow! I've got goosebumps.
The photograph of your wife, sir?
Is it okay where it is or should
I turn it so it's facing the wall?
Dismissed, Rimmer.
Yes, sir. Thank you, sir.
Nothing I can get you, ma'am? Tea? Coffee?
Packet of three..?
He thinks I'm an imbecile, he really does...
Ha ha. Me, an imbecile!
Alert, alert! A choccy-nut bar, a choccy-nut
bar has been removed without payment.
A choccy-nut bar has been removed
without payment. Alert, alert!
Shut up!
No, shan't. Alert, alert!
If you don't shut up, I'll pour beef
soup into your speaker and you'll drown.
Take your hand off m' speaker then.
Promise to shut up?
Promise.
Ha ha ha haa! I had m' circuits crossed!
Alert, alert! Chocolate abduction
on floor three-four-one. Alert -
Ooh, I say, you w'll, you
will not get away with this,
I may not be able to see you but
I know your taste in confectionary!
And I also, I also know, I also know, ha
haa, erm, no, in fact that is all I know,
just your taste in
confectionary, but no matter,
because one day I'll
hear your voice again
and I'll expose you for the
chocolate thieving dog you are!
I'm really scared! I'm being
threatened by a dispensing machine!
What are you gonna do, leave a horse's
head made out of marzipan in my bed?
"Oh, mummy, help, help,
help! I'm really scared!"
Rimmer..?
You forgot your tray...
Thank you, sir.
He stole some chocolate! He stole s -
You are my nemesis... one day,
our paths will cross again,
and I... I will destroy you...
And on that day, I will be
the Captain of this ship.
It's okay for Mister
cushy-working-for-the-Captain-now,
but what about me? All that damned rock!
My back's killing me,
bud! Look at my spine,
it's so curved, if you
threw it away it'd come back!
Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock! I ain't
used to work! But what job do they give me?
Er, something to do with rocks, sir?
Exactly. You know what
they've got me doing?
I've got to put all the rock
albums on the P.A. system.
I've got to change those suckers
once every forty-five
minutes! I'm a physical wreck!
Probation's killing me, buds..!
What's that?
Oh, it's just a present to
help cheer up Miss Kochanski.
What, a calendar?
Mmm. A couple of days ago she
was looking at the old calendar
and she said it was the wrong time
of the month, so I got her a new one.
I'm going to tell her, the
calendar people made a mistake,
but let's just leave this whole
'wrong month' thing behind us;
they were stupid, it was careless,
but being grumpy and tearful about it
is getting it way out of proportion.
A little word in your audio receiver:
And this happens to all women?
They become cranky and weird,
and yet you never see
this in films or on TV...
and men are supposed to be
in control of the media..!
This is the biggest
cover-up since Watergate!
Relax, its not a big deal. I'll tell
you what to do and how to behave;
everything. Just trust me.
Ta-daaaa!
Thank goodness for Mister Lister!
I nearly made such a fool of myself.
A little present ma'am.
All gift-wrapped.
I hope I chose the right size...
Dave told you to do this, didn't he.
Ohhh, isn't he wonderful?
Oh yeah. Sometimes he's so
cute I could just eat him.
He explained everything to me
so I wouldn't embarrass myself.
Come on then, open it!
I want you to try it on.
Maybe you could do a little twirl in it?
Kryten, how can I put this..?
Is there something wrong, ma'am?
He set me up, didn't he.
This is absolutely the wrong thing
to do when a woman is having a...
Is the banner wrong, too?
He was lying!
I've been duped by a master craftsman.
Well, two can play at this game!
Oh yeah? What do you have in mind?
Well, are you sure you
have time for this, ma'am?
I realise the next few days
are very special for you.
Just tell me your plan
for getting Dave back!
Right, here's my idea...
That's Holl, he must want something.
Thought you might like to hear some hot
off the press, official insider information.
There's gonna be a cell inspection in
about ten minutes. Keep it under your hat.
Cell inspection in ten minutes.
Told you.
Thanks, Holl, it was most helpful.
See you in about twenty-five years, then.
Why's that going off?
It's from Kryten: "Look
under the draughts board".
Another note...
"Dear Mister Lister, thanks for your
wonderful advice regarding Miss Kochanski.
In return, I thought
I'd steal Baxter's stash
of illegal hooch and hide
it in... your shower"!
"I am laughing as I write this knowing
your cell is about to be searched,
and imagining the panic
now gripping your soul"!
- Oh my god!
- Oh god!
What the hell are we gonna do? We've
got an inspection in five minutes!
We're on probation!
Down the loo; down the sink.
Baxter's gonna kill us if he
finds out we're doing this!
The Captain's gonna kill us if we don't!
Smeg, the tank's full!
What're we gonna do? We've
still got two bottles left!
We're gonna have to drink it.
Look, do you wanna get caught in
possession of illegal hooch? Get drinkin'.
Have we got any mixers?
You are wetter than a driving
instructors handshake, aren't you.
Get it down your gob!
What's it like?
It's okay...
In-spec-tion!
On your feet...
Stand by your bunks...
You're drunk.
Drunk, shir?
No, sir.
Absolutelly not, sir, no. No, no. No.
Who fancies a kebab?
Oh yeah!
Me, sir, me!
Oh smeg... he's shticked us.
Musht've been tshe jshelly
shtrifle for lunch, shir.
Told him not to go
back for seconds, sir.
Call the medi-bay; we
need two stomach pumps.
Super-suck...
It's Baxter...
Your two mates stole my hooch;
and when they get out of hospital,
and there's no guards about, this
is what's gonna happen to them...
You're gonna squeeze their rolls?
That's irritating, but hey, in
many ways they'll be quite relieved!
What've I done!?
Baxter's out to mash you...
you've got to escape. We all have.
Security's lax, here.
If we can make it to the landing bay, and
steal a ship, well, Bob's your Skutter!
Where's the Cat?
He should be getting himself
hospitalised any second.
We can't hang around, we've gotta
be out of here by five o'clock!
What's so special about five o'clock?
Five o'clock's bed-bath time!
And apparently, I'm doin' them!
The microbe, which destroyed
the Hermes, it's on Red Dwarf!
How?
The microbe's chameleonic, so
it must have been the escape pod;
the one Talia whatsername arrived on.
We've gotta go back and tell them.
But what about our escape?
It could be days before
they discover this!
If we go back now, they've got
a chance to work on an antidote.
You're just acting all brave and
manly to impress her, aren't you?
No, Dave's right. He's
looking at the big picture.
Yeah, 'the big picture' involves
you, no clothes and a haystack.
Red Dwarf is being devoured from
within by a corrosive micro-organism.
As you probably know, we don't have
enough craft for everyone to be rescued,
so most of you will be
staying behind to die.
Oh, there's an apology about
that in the internal mail.
Just as I thought. Created in a lab
and programmed not to destroy glass.
So all we need is a plutonium powered
greenhouse and we're home free!
We need an antidote.
Something that can neutralise the
corrosive negativity of the microbe.
Something with a corrosive positivity?
So where do we get that?
There's nothing in Yellow Pages.
A mirror universe! A universe where things
are diametrically opposite to this one.
There, negative becomes positive,
and a virus becomes an antidote.
If there's even the slightest
imperfection in the prism,
the mirror universe may be an
imperfect version of our own.
That's something we won't
know until we get there.
It's overloaded! We've lost Mister Rimmer!
At last, things are looking up!
How long's it going to
take to fix that thing?
Well, best guess, about twenty minutes.
Can I come in, sir?
I did knock, sir, perhaps you didn't hear?
Here's your hot lemon, sir.
Thank you, erm... Private... nobody.
Oh, er, a few directives to sign, sir.
Of course, laddie.
A free pardon, exonerating
you from all crimes?
Oohhh, I don't know how that
got in there, sir, I, er... I...
Want to be an officer, don't you, laddie?
Oh, sir, could I? One day, could I be?
No, I don't think you could.
Of course, it's a mirror
universe, everything's opposite...
My God... this is gonna
take some getting used to...
They said it was okay to drop by...
You look wonderful...
So do you...
That'll be all, shambles.
Yes, sir.
You made Captain -
You've done so well. Your own
ship... wow! I've got goosebumps.
So have I!
Let me kiss you.
What are you doing!?
I'm giving you a big, wet snog,
with oodles of Tommy-tongue!
But I'm your sister!
Yes, of course, but I was really
pleased to see you. I, erm...
You French-kissed me!
No, it was nearer Antwerp.
I Belgium-kissed you.
I - I - I... urrrgghh... I've been
really ill... You're the Captain's sister?
Oh, my god, what a terrible dream!
Oh, hi, sis! It's me, Arnie, your bro!
Get your big ol' lumpy bum
down here and give'us a big hug!
Captain Rimmer!
I am Sister Talia Garrett;
your personal spiritual advisor!
Sis! Sister... whoever you are!
Oh, smeg!
- Excuse me?
- Yes?
I wonder, could you tell me what this is?
You'll have to ask the professor, then.
He does all that stupid,
sciencey brain-box type stuff.
Somebody call?
Professor!?
Yes, Captain?
Perhaps you could help me. What's this?
Hmm.
Hmmm, its an alkali.
Oh yes? What's it called?
Soliciumfrankolithicmixyalebidium
rixydixydoxydexydroxide.
You look surprised.
I never thought I'd ever hear you say that.
Can you write it down for me?
Certainly. Can I have an extremely
long piece of paper, my dear?
The antidote; I did it!
Wha - Where is everyone?
They've repaired the machine and
crossed into the mirror universe.
You're the highest ranked
crewmember left on the ship,
so I suppose that makes you
Captain, congratulations, Cap.
Smeg off!
Where are you going?
To make up a formula!
I think you'll find that
the formula on that paper
has now turned into the
formula for the virus,
because you've left the mirror universe,
so it's turned back into its
opposite, ha ha ha haa haaaa!
Smeg, you're right! This is a disaster!
No, there still could be a happy ending.
How?
You know that chocolate
bar you still owe me for?
You could always pay me
back before you snuff it.
How's that a happy ending?
Well, its a happy ending for me.
At least my totals will tally.
Why don't you smegging-well smeg off,
you annoying little smeggy smegging smegger!
Every dog has its day,
and today's the day...
..that I'm the dog!
Smeg...
Arnold Judas Rimmer. Your
life is over. Come with me.
We will travel to the River Styx,
where you will place a coin in the -
Not today, matey!
Remember: "only the good die young".
That's never happened before...
