Quotes 

• [Blake enters the tracking room and comes face to face with Avon and the others] 

  Tarrant : Is it him?

  Vila : It's him.

  Tarrant : He sold us, Avon. All of us. Even you.

  [Avon lowers the gun and approaches Blake] 

  Avon : [horrified]  Is it true?

  Blake : Avon, it's me, Blake.

  Avon : Stand still!

  [Blake stops] 

  Avon : Have you betrayed us? Have YOU... betrayed... ME?

  Blake : Tarrant doesn't understand!

  Avon : Neither do I, Blake!

  Blake : I set all this up!

  Avon : [stunned]  Yes!

  Blake : [walking towards Avon again]  Avon, I was waiting for YOU!

  [Avon shoots Blake, who staggers forward and grabs onto Avon's shoulders] 

  Blake : Oh... Avon...

  [Blake collapses, dead] 

• Deva : These stupid games you insist on playing, Blake, will get someone killed eventually.

  Blake : I have to test each one myself.

  Deva : No, you don't have to! I set up systems for that. I broke the security codes on their central computer. I got us access to official channels, information, everything we could possibly need! You don't need to be involved at all.

  Blake : All right, I find it difficult to trust. It's a failing, I admit...

  Deva : And any one of our people could select the people you've collected. You don't need to do the bounty hunter routine, either!

  Blake : Indulge me.

  Deva : Do I have a choice?

  Blake : Oh, there's always a choice, Deva.

  Deva : Not for me, there isn't. I said I'd follow you, and I will, until the Federation's finally destroyed.

• Blake : Where did you get that gun?

  Arlen : I won it in a lottery. What do you care?

• [Blake is flying Tarrant back to base] 

  Tarrant : A random program.

  Blake : It's an old smuggler's trick.

  Tarrant : Did you learn it from an old smuggler?

  Blake : No, from a young one, actually. Her name was Jenna.

  Tarrant : What happened to her?

  Blake : She tried to run the blockade once too often. Happens to all of them eventually.

  Tarrant : You made the capture?

  Blake : Nobody made the capture. She hit the self-destruct. And when it blew, she took half a squadron of gunships with her.

• Deva : Well, now, bounty hunter, that was a short trip even by your standards.

  Blake : Short, but profitable.

  [Blake grabs Tarrant's gun] 

  Blake : Even by my standards.

  Tarrant : Was it something I said?

• Blake : His name is Tarrant.

  Blake : [to Tarrant]  Your flight computer mentioned it whilst you were unconscious.

  Deva : Tarrant...

  Blake : No, I wouldn't run it through the computer just yet, Deva. You see, this one has a very high Federation price on his head.

  Deva : Are you sure?

  Tarrant : Oh, give the man credit for knowing his trade, dirty though it is.

  Blake : He also has several associates with Federation prices, and one of them is particularly valuable.

  Tarrant : And all of them are particularly dead.

  Blake : In which case, that other flier was merely a coincidence. A coincidence, however, that might just have analyzed a random flight program?

  Deva : And the significance of that is...?

  Blake : A very useful device called Orac. Why don't you sit down, Tarrant? If it is Avon, we shouldn't have much longer to wait.

  Deva : [repeating back to Tarrant]  "Give the man credit for knowing his trade."

• Tarrant : What on earth happened to you?

  Blake : Oh, most of it wasn't on Earth, Tarrant. Not what happened to me.
