Episode Summary
 
[x] Remove Ad
Blake and his increasingly reluctant team head deep into a void area of space where Blake believes Star One is located. Just before they reach the point where they couldn’t navigate back, they see the dim star they are seeking. Once they reach the location of the Federation’s Star One, they find something to fear even more than the Federation’s central control computer; aliens are set to breach a secret Federation space mine field, in an attempt to conquer Federation space.

Episode Quotes
 
Servalan: There has to be another explanation. And if you want to keep your job, you'll find it!
 
Blake: So if Lurgen's co-ordinates are right, Star One is somewhere in there.
Avon: Which makes it about the only thing that is.
Vila: So at least we'll recognise it when we see it, even if we don't recognise it when we see it...if it's the only thing that's there. If you see what I mean.
Cally: Oh shut up, Vila.
 
Avon: Show me someone who "believes" in anything and I will show you a fool.
 
Avon: I never doubted your fanaticism. As far as I'm concerned, you can stir up a thousand revolutions. You can wade in blood up to your armpits. Oh, and you can "lead the rabble to victory," whatever that might mean. Just as long as there's an end to it. When Star One is gone, it is finished, Blake. And I want it finished. I want to be free.
Cally: But you are free, Avon.
Avon: I want to be free of him.
 
Servalan: I will not be president of a ruined empire.
 
Blake: Maximum scan, Cally. Look for anything unusual or out-of-place...a door would be nice, if you can manage it.
Cally: I'll do my best.
Blake: Preferably one marked "Entrance."
 
Vila: I don't like explosions. Very crude. It's difficult to reason with a bomb.
Avon: They won't explode until they are primed.
Vila: And if it was faulty? Bit late to complain to the manufacturer!
 
Blake: There's the door.
Cally: As requested.
Avon: It isn't marked "Entrance."
Cally: Nobody's perfect.
 
Vila: (referring to Orac) He always makes me feel like I should be taking notes.
 
Travis: I though you were supposed to be the one with brains.
Avon: Brains but no heart. Now talk or scream, Travis, the choice is yours.
 
Lurena: What are they?
Avon: Unfriendly. Which is fortunate, really - they'd be difficult to love.
 
Travis: His name is Blake. His name...was Blake.
 
Avon: Stand by to fire.
Vila: Avon, this is stupid!
Avon: Since when did that ever stop us?
 
Blake: Avon - for what it's worth - I have always trusted you, from the very beginning.
