Finally, the warring nations of Earth had forgotten their differences and banded together to save our planet. The United Global Space Force was searching the galaxy for worlds rich with drinkable water and breathable air. The Hypergate was our best hope to colonise space, our best hope for survival, but as we prepared to launch ourselves into the black of space terrorist forces calling themselves the Global Sedition were preparing to strike. Grissom Base, this is Cargo 7, requesting landing clearance. Roger, Transport. This is Grissom Gate Control. Please download security codes. Downloading. Downloading.

Jeb, where are you, buddy? This cold war just got hotter. Sedition raiders. Sedition raiders. It's another mutant suicide squad. Let's go man-to-man. Split 'em up. OK, last one to kill a bad guy buys the beer. I'm gonna go through the Gate, try and get out in front of him. That's not standard procedure, Don. Better get inside the Gate. Damn, you gen-techs are ugly up close! COMPUTER: Target lock. Show time. Yee-hah! Bogey One dispatched. Don, he's right on my tail. Damn! Can't shake him. I've been hit! Weapons are off line.

Hey, Don, does this mean we're going steady? You weren't getting out of buying those beers that easy. With intrepid pioneering spirit, the Robinson family will journey to the distant world of Alpha Prime. What kind of future can our children look forward to? A future in paradise. The 'Jupiter' mission, made possible by the US Army and Silicon Graphics Corporation. SGI, saving the future.... CHILD: Saving the future... ...for our children. ...for our children. Give me a break! COMPUTER: Hello. Call from Houston Middle School. Hello? Hello, Principal Cartwright. What exactly has he done this time? He hacked our main power grid to run his experiment. The school was in chaos. Yeah, right (!) We didn't even have lights. This is no laughing matter, Professor Robinson. Will is terribly gifted. The changing shape of education. His little time machines, though pure fancy, are the product of a truly brilliant mind. WHISPERS: No more monkey business. I mean it. The boy is starved for attention. I know your life is anything but normal right now, but wasn't there some way his father could have attended the science fair? As you are aware, Alpha Prime is the only other habitable planet yet detected by deep space recon. My crew will sleep away our 10-year journey there in suspended animation. Once we have rendezvoused with the research colony on Alpha, I will supervise construction of a Hypergate. By then technicians here on Earth will have completed the companion Hypergate in our planet's orbit. Once both gates are complete, ships will be able to pass instantaneously between them. Immediate colonisation of Alpha Prime will be possible. Can't you just use the 'Jupiter's hyper engine to zap straight to Alpha Prime? Hyperspace exists beneath normal space. If you try to enter hyperspace without a gate, your exit vector is random. There's no telling where you'd come out. 98% of the galaxy is still uncharted. There's a lot of space out there to get lost in. Professor Robinson! Professor, how is Captain Daniels recovering from the flu? Will he still be able to pilot the mission? Ladies and gentlemen. You came to get your first look at the 'Jupiter 1'. Don't you think you've waited long enough? Let's move into the launch dome. One more question, Professor. Now that the mission's been pushed up, how do your children feel about leaving the Earth behind? They couldn't be more excited. This mission sucks! I don't wanna leave early. I don't wanna go at all! We will discuss this at dinner. For the last three years, I've missed everything, training so I can spend the next 10 years missing everything else! I'm not staying home for dinner. I'm going out to see my friends. Penny! I'm going out to say goodbye to my entire life. Penny, I need you here tonight. Wait a minute. MACHINE BEEPS On this eve, before she's torn from everything she knows ` kidnapped ` hurled into deep space, against her will, what thoughts for the mind of the daring space captive? Will there be boys in Alpha Prime? What will I wear? ROCK MUSIC I wonder what it'll be like to jettison your body into deep space. First, you'll try holding your breath, but your blood's already begun to boil. And then your skin inflates like a balloon. And then ` pop. Do they have a name for what's wrong with you? Dad says don't bring them. Like anything I do matters to him. Don't sweat it, kid. I got apology videos for two birthdays. And he forgot last year completely. This mission's the only thing he cares about any more. So, that's a 'no' to family dinner? So, that's a 'no' to family dinner? Let's see. Do I spend my last night on Earth watching Mom and Dad pretend not to be fighting? Or blow 10 years' worth of allowance at the mall? You do the math. You do the math. Mom's gonna go thermal! You do the math. Mom's gonna go thermal! What's she gonna do? Ground me? I'm nervous about jamming in a new pilot at the last second. The Global Sedition is getting brave: first the Hypergate, then Daniels. Next time they may attack the launch dome. We can't afford to wait. We can't afford to wait. Will's science fair. Reminder, apology video for Will. He'll understand. He'll understand. Ben, listen. My family is on this mission. I need a pilot who's more than just spit and polish. I've got your man. He just doesn't know it yet. At ease, Major. At ease, Major. Sir, why was I pulled from active duty? Those gen-techs may attack again. I need to be up there. I need to be up there. Do you know Professor Robinson? By reputation only. You father's battle strategies were required reading at the academy. at the academy. What can you tell me about the 'Jupiter' mission, Major? The 'Jupiter's an oversize robot. Everything's automatic. Any monkey in a flight suit can pilot that ship out of the solar system and set her down on Alpha Prime. It's a babysitting job, sir. No offence. Major, are you aware Earth's resources are severely limited? Every schoolchild knows that our recycling technologies will cure the environment. Sending a family across the galaxy is a publicity stunt to sell computers to people of all ages. Every schoolchild has been lied to. The recycling technologies came too late. All fossil fuels are virtually exhausted. The ozone layer is down to 40%. In two decades, the Earth will be unable to support human life. And Global Sedition knows the truth as well as we do. They're building their own Hypergate. They hope to colonise Alpha Prime first. If they're successful, western demons like you and I, Major West, will be left on Earth to die. Captain Daniels doesn't have the flu, does he, sir? Captain Daniels was murdered in his apartment last night. The flu story is a cover we fed the press. THINKS: I flew with Mike. We should pulse-blast their bases in a decisive strike now! My squadron is alert status` My squadron is alert status` Your rescue stunt was foolhardy, Major! I had a friend in trouble. So you endangered a $10 billion spacecraft, disobeyed a direct order, because of a friend? Yes, sir. I did. Sir. He'll do. Congratulations, Major. You're the new pilot of the 'Jupiter' mission. MAN SHOUTS: Where is my money? Hmm? The Sedition hired me to provide access to Daniels' apartment, and no more. My work is done! They found a replacement pilot. Our attack on the Hypergate failed. How tragic... for you. We require a more direct intervention on your part. Oh, I see. Well. It will cost you. And I'm afraid that my price has just become... astronomical. (LAUGHS) (LAUGHS) BEEPING Holograph. BEEPING Come in. Control hasn't received the results of the pre-flight exams, Dr Smith. The Robinsons have checked out 100%. They're fit as a fiddle and ready to fly. Wish them luck. For me. FOOTSTEPS RECEDE The mission protocols are simple. Professor Robinson is in command unless you encounter military emergency. In that case, Major West, you are in charge. Sir, I'm a fighter pilot. There must be better candidates. Even my own family can't stand me. Shut up, Major. Jeb. Jeb Walker, he's an excellent flyer, sir. And he'd be perfect for this mission. Welcome aboard, Major. Wow! Looks like somebody sprung for the full extras package on this beauty. If you have to be a babysitter, it's not such a bad nursery. Wouldn't you agree, Major? I don't get it. I can't get the cryo-suit systems up over 96%. Dr Smith approved the specs. Dr Smith is the base physician. I am responsible once the ship is in flight. These tubes will be perfect or the ship will not launch. Is that clear? Absolutely, Doctor. Judy, I want to introduce you to Major West. He's going to be taking Mike's place. He's heavier than Mike. We'll have to recalibrate. I'd be happy to discuss my dimensions, Doctor. Say, over dinner? West. I've read about you. You're a war hero, aren't you? Well, yes, actually. Who was it who said, 'Those who can't think, fight'? I think that it was me. It was nice to have met you. That's one cold fish I'd love to thaw. I'm not going to make it over for dinner tonight, Dad. It's gonna be a long flight. PROFESSOR ROBINSON: Maureen, come on, pick up the phone. I know you're there. You still packing? Just leave it. CLATTERING CLATTERING WHISPERS: Maureen? Sweetie? He won first prize again. He won first prize again. Is this the new model he's been working on? Crazy idea he's got about a... Crazy idea he's got about a... MACHINE HUMS Crazy idea he's got about a... MACHINE HUMS ...time machine? Pretty sharp stuff for a midget. Sorry about dinner. That new pilot... John, the family needs you here. This whole thing is about the family. My only condition for accepting this mission was that we could bring the children with us so doing our job wouldn't mean leaving them behind, so future generations would have a new home. You're off saving humanity, so what does it matter if Will has to black out of school just to get his father's attention? Penny's been dragged home by security three nights in a row. Judy's become a ghost, like her father. I must compensate for the new launch` What do you think I'm doing, throwing Tupperware parties? No, you're revising the` No, you're revising the` I'm dealing with two kids who are leaving an entire planet behind! I'm sorry, John, but there's no manuals on how to deal with this. Maybe it doesn't do any good... saving the world of families if we can't save our own. Is that it, Professor? John. I know, baby. I'm scared too. Can't take any chances.

The robot must've damaged the detonator cores. It won't blow. Alert. Outer hull has been compromised. DNA extrapolation coming up. Silicon based. Mantium shell. Lack of respiratory system. It means they do live in deep space. Tiny front brain implies communal relationships. Like bees. Like bees. If the biology lesson's over, I could use some help here. They may be attracted to heat and light. COMPUTER: Inner hull breach in 15 seconds. I'm bring the protein fusion drives online. DRAMATIC MUSIC It's working! Let's turn up the heat. What are you doing? What are you doing? Never leave an enemy stronghold intact. Major, stop! Major, stop! That's one of your father's first rules of engagement. That is a direct order. I hate spiders. Oh. Oh. That's coming really fast. That's coming really fast. Get in your harnesses NOW! COMPUTER: Landing helm engaged. Children secure? Secure! Children secure? Secure! I'm in. Ugh! DRAMATIC MUSIC Pull up. Pull up. Pull up. Pull up. Really? No kidding. Thanks. Coming in too hot. I'll try and slow us down. Hang on! Everybody by the numbers. Life sciences. Still breathing. CREATURE SQUAWKS CREATURE SQUAWKS Video Mechanic's... OK. Mission Medical. I'm alive. Me too! Robotics, I mean. I'm alive. Major West's poor excuse for piloting skills notwithstanding. Oh, Dorothy. Back in Kansas at last. (CHATTERS EXCITEDLY) (CHATTERS EXCITEDLY) SOMBRE MUSIC You violated a direct order. About half the core material's burned out. We'll never generate enough power to break orbit. We can get off the ground, but getting back into space is another story. I ordered you not to blow that ship's reactors. Life support is marginal. It's gonna get cold in here tonight. Also, the pod and the chariot are pretty much scrap metal. Don't walk away when I'm talking to you. Give it a rest, Professor. I was technically still in command. I am commander of this mission. Look, no offence, but you're an egghead with an honorary rank. No one ever intended for you to handle combat situations. You handled it brilliantly ` sending us crashing down here. Those aliens posed a continuing threat. I made a judgement call and if I have to, I'll make it again. Hell, you of all people should understand that. Your father would've backed me up. My father is dead. Killed in one of those combat missions that you admire so much. My family is on this ship, and you will follow my orders whether you agree with them or not. Is that clear, Major? Is that clear, Major? Hey, save your speeches. I like you, but I'm gonna do whatever I think it takes to ensure the success of this mission, with or without your help. Is THAT clear, Professor? Am I interrupting something? No, really, I think you two should go ahead and slug it out. I mean, here we are stranded on an alien world, and you boys want to get into a pissing contest? Please, go for it. I'll have Judy down here in a heartbeat to declare you both unfit, and I'll take over this mission. I don't want to hear another word. Is THAT clear? Maureen` NOT another word. Better. Now if you've finished hosing down the decks with testosterone, I suggest you come with me. I may have found a way to get us off this planet. Wow. Wow. Tell me about it. COMPUTER BEEPS (GROANS) Damn bug bite. CREATURE PURRS, SQUAWKS SOFTLY She really is an interesting specimen, huh, Doc? She's fascinating. (SQUAWKS) The retinal aperture dilation seems to be directly linked... Can I keep her? ...to the skin pigmentation. Judy. Judy! Hey! What? Can I keep her? Can I keep her? (CHATTERS) She's not just another fad that you can just pick up and throw away. Uh,... please. Look, she's all alone here, and I promise I'll look out for her. I promise. She... She kinds of needs me. The minute that you misplace her or forget to feed her... Don't smile. I mean it, Pen. Thanks, Doc. (GASPS) We're both a long way from home, aren't we, little one? (SQUAWKS) Blularp. Blularp. (SQUAWKS SOFTLY) That's what we'll call you. Blarp. (PANTS) Nice girl. Pretty girl. Nice. The atmosphere here can sustain human life. I've located 500 rads of radioactive material five miles west. five miles west. We'll need at least that much to get the core functioning again. We'll start out at daybreak. It'll be safer that way. Those are my orders, Major. I agree with your recommendation, Professor. Detente's a beautiful thing. COMPUTER BUZZES Ah, Major. It's nice to see you've found a calling that suits your talents. Turn down the bed before you leave. I gave my word I'd let you live. I never said for how long. I never said for how long. Family hour is over, Major. We're dying here. Robinson is out of his league. Look into his eyes and tell me you can't see his fear. I fought in the Millennium Wars, Major. Survival is a soldiers' game. We both know that. This civilian fool will lead us straight to hell. Robinson needs our help... if he wants it or not. With minimal force we could take this ship and assure them that we shall continue ` under your command,... of course. My God, Smith, you're right. How could I have been so blind? I'll just run and get you a gun so we can hijack the ship, OK? Sarcasm is the recourse of a weak mind. Ooh. I'm hiding the pain. Really. Lock. DOOR BEEPS Your pain, Major, has just begun. Star light, star bright. A million strange stars, and only one wish. I wish we were home. I've never seen a sky look so alien. We really are lost, aren't we? GENTLE MUSIC When the, uh... When the first sailors circled the globe, and saw a brand-new sky,... they thought they'd sailed right off the edge of the earth, but they were really just around the corner. So you're saying that we should just billow our sails and let the wind take us home? Is that it, Major? So those sailors... found familiar shapes in the stars... to make the skies seem more friendly and to help them find their way home. That's how the constellations were born. Porky the wise and mighty pig. (CHUCKLES) (CHUCKLES) (CHUCKLES) GENTLE MUSIC The great big-eared bunny ` Bugs. (CHUCKLES) (CLEARS THROAT) You know, the way you got us down here ` that was pretty flying. So, my quarters or yours? Excuse me? Well, don't play coy. We're the only single man and woman of consenting age in the galaxy. How much more of a set-up do you need? So you figure, why not just dispense with the pleasantries and get down to business? and get down to business? You have a way with words, Doctor. Do you want to show me how you handle the helm? Yeah. Right here, on this console? Uh,... yeah. Right here would be fine. Why don't you just hang on to your joystick? Excellent technique, Major. Really. FOOTSTEPS APPROACH Hey. Hi. Hey. Hi. Will was looking for you. Yeah. I sent him back to his room. He's, uh,... decided he can rebuild the robot. Mm. Mm. He wants to stay up all night and show me his designs. Funny creatures, men. They try so hard not to be their fathers and end up making the same mistakes. We can't get off this planet, let alone back on course. I don't have time... Just listen to him, John. You know, it doesn't matter what he says, just listen. Sometimes, especially in the eyes of their fathers, little boys have to come first. As soon as we get back up into space, we're gonna spend a lot of time together, I promise. BOTH LAUGH (SIGHS) (SIGHS) It's nice having our whole family under one roof... GENTLE MUSIC GENTLE MUSIC ..even if we did have to go halfway across the galaxy to manage it. COMPUTER BEEPS Goodnight, John. Goodnight, John. Goodnight, Maureen. Goodnight, John. Goodnight, Maureen. Goodnight, Judy. Goodnight, Will. Blarp! Goodnight, Penny. You guys have got to be kidding. THUNDER RUMBLES COMPUTER: Good morning, Will Robinson. Solar panels are charged. OMINOUS RUMBLING Wow! Wow! MYSTICAL MUSIC John, the radioactive material we need for the core is in the centre of that bubble. I was afraid of this. OK, everybody, let's get settled now. I think that this bubble out there is exactly the same thing we passed through in space. Both of them are opening and closing doorways. Doorways to where? Doorways in... time. You can't be serious. Time travel is impossible. No, it's not. It's just improbable. What if we crossed into a time years after Earth sent a rescue mission? Perhaps the Professor hit his head when we landed. Think about it ` the way the 'Proteus' seemed deserted for so long. Your friend looking so old. So if we walk inside that bubble, we could be walking further into the future? Hey, Dad, what if the doorways aren't natural? No, this kind of phenomenon could only be produced naturally. No, that bubble's exactly the side effect I predict in my time machine. Son` What if someone on this world's built a device? Son, I appreciate your input, but now is not the time for flights of fancy. You never listen to me. Not ever. Will... Will! Will! RUMBLING This time bubble could be causing these earthquakes. There's no telling how long before this planet breaks up entirely. The Major and I are going to locate the radioactive material for the core. We may have very little time. FOOTSTEPS I'm leaving now, Will. That's a surprise (!) Will, you're the most important thing in the world to me. One day, I hope you'll be able to understand that. But what if... one time you don't come home? Whenever your grandfather went on a mission,... POIGNANT MUSIC ...he'd leave these with me for safekeeping. And when he came home, I would always be there, waiting to give them back. I'm coming back, Will. I promise. RUMBLING Hey, listen, uh,... about last night... Go on. You can do it. I'm sorry. Really? See, that wasn't so difficult. Yeah, like pulling steel needles through my cheeks. Then, um, you understand what saying this feels like. Try to come back in one piece. Listen, Doc, I'm, uh... I'm thinking this is your basic 'kiss for luck' occasion. Wouldn't you agree? Thinking! It's not really your strong suit, is it? I got a fix on the radioactive material. Wow. Wow. Oh, yeah. That was scientific (!) Scared, Major? There's an alloy in this crater wall that's disabling the com-links. You're not going to be able to communicate with the ship. Come home to me, Professor. I love you, wife. Come here, squirt. Nice girl. Pretty girl. Nice. It's OK, Major. You're still in one piece. Come on! Can you hear me, Robot? Hello? Systems error. Robot unable to locate motor controls. Unable! Unable to... Calm down. Will Robinson, what is happening to me? I didn't have enough time to finish the download. Warning! Penny! Penny, give it back. My circuits are unbalanced. My circuits are unbalanced. So I had to finish you off with another personality. I put my mind inside of yours. Aha! That explains this warm fuzzy feeling when I think about baseball. Stee-rike! You're out! But this does not compute. What? Robot tried to destroy the Robinson family. Why did Will Robinson save Robot's personality? I guess sometimes friendship means listening to your heart, not your head. Hmm, put that in your memory bank. Hmm. Don't worry, Robot. I'm going to build you a new body. Mom always said I should try to make new friends. SARCASTICALLY: Oh, ha, ha. I need a microsealer. I need a microsealer. I got it. After much deliberation, the space captive has finally decided to accept her new role as member of the crew. The Robinsons, after all, can obviously use her help. BLARP CHIRPS BLARP CHIRPS Blarp, come back here! Theoretically, this future would be fixed, unchanged by what we do in the past or did in the past... Hey, Professor. Yes, Major. Why don't you give the old egghead a rest, huh? Out here we got two moons, a crater the size of Miami and that would be one great climb. You know, my father would have liked you. What's that? This metal's decades old. What kind of a nightmare is this? And where the hell are we? No, Major, the question is WHEN the hell are we? DRAMATIC MUSIC Will Robinson, I will tell you a joke. Why did the robot cross the road? Because he was carbon-bonded to the chicken! We have a lot of work to do. HAMMERING That sounds like old Morse code. What does it say? What does it say? 'Danger, Will Robinson! Danger!' HAMMERING CONTINUES William, come here. Unlock. You said someone was in danger. We all are. William, you are wise to arm yourself. This gun is set to fire for me only, so don't try anything funny. Lock. William! You misjudge me. I... I only want to help you. Help us? You tried to kill us. But now our fates are intertwined. If your father and that idiot, West, fail, I have no chance of getting home. It's in my best interests that they succeed, and I always follow my best interests. GROWLING What monsters roam these alien wilds? Oh, they're fools to set off blindly across this savage land. Much as I hate to admit it, it will be much harder without them. What are you talking about? They'll be back. They'll be OK. Will they? Someone should go after them. Unlock. Will, I forbid it! You're a boy ` a clever one certainly, but a child nonetheless. This planet is likely full of predators. And even if you found them, what if they're hurt, ravaged,... dying? (SOBS) What good could you do? You can help them! You're a doctor. Yes. Yes. I'm a doctor. I'm a doctor. SINISTER MUSIC We made it. Mom didn't see us. Oh, that's fantastic, William. I told you we could get into the bubble this way, Dr Smith. DEVICE BEEPS The bubble's growing. Run, child! Run! William? William! William! PLAYFUL MUSIC Cool! William, wait! Wait! Come on, Dr Smith. We can always go back. It's just like stepping between two rooms. I can barely contain my glee. DEVICE BEEPS Dad's signal is... this way. I loathe children. PENNY'S: Billy,... kissing,... popcorn,... orchids,... waves,... Billy,... popcorn,... kissing,... kissing... Dr Smith! What did you find? Come along, son. No time to dawdle. Come on. Let's move along. Follow your father's signal. There's a good boy. Come on. Don. Well, well, all things really do come to he who waits. What is this place? What is this place? Ha! The shock must have scrambled your brain. Take a look around. Don't you recognise this spot? Your home. This can't be. What have you done to this ship? Where is my family? What chance do you think your family had without you? A few spiders survived the destruction of the 'Proteus'. They reached this planet and... I can still hear the women scream. Who are you? Who are you? You don't recognise me? I'm your son Will. Dad's signal's just over this ridge. Oh, be still, my foolish heart! Oh shit. Oh shit. A boy of your intelligence should never swear. Oh shit. Indeed. Look, Father, what my... 'flights of fancy' have wrought! I used your hyper-engine to build my time machine! OK, Robot, put him down. Affirmative. Affirmative. (GROANS) Where are we? Where are we? I think we've been brought to the 'Jupiter 2' but in a different future. Father, once this core material is fully introduced into the control consul,... Core material. If we could get that back to... to our 'Jupiter',... ...I will open a doorway stable enough for one person to take one trip through time ` and space as well. COMPUTER: Commence protogeneration. Cool, huh? Today, I will change history. I'm going to go back to that day you dragged us into space. I'll stop the ship from taking off. I'll save the family. Earth, October 1, 2058. Target lock confirmed. Excellent. Son,... look around. The force of your time machine is ripping this planet apart. These violent distortions in time are being caused by your experiment. What if it has the same effect on Earth? What if, in getting home, you destroy Earth in the process? Um... I know you mean well. I know you mean well. No. I'm going home. I'm going to save the family. Will, you've got to listen to me. I'm your father. My father? Let me tell you about my father. I'll never forget that morning 20 years ago. What was it you said? 'I'm coming back, Will. I promise.' You promised! And you never came home. No, my father's not coming to the rescue. William! What do you think you're doing, young man? Let me tell you about life. Around every corner, monsters wait. I know ` I am one. We monsters have no fear in devouring little boys. To survive, you must be fully prepared to kill. I can do it. I can do it. Can you? Listen to me, my child. Now, I've crossed this world with you, risked my life. I would not throw it away. Who knows what dangers lie ahead? You can't protect us. And I can. And I will. Give me the gun. Enable gun for all users. Enable gun for all users. GUN: Voiceprint confirmed. A brief lesson in survival ` on this world or any other ` never trust anyone, especially me. OK. It's almost time. I hope it works. I hope it works. Never fear! (TURNS ROBOT OFF) Smith is here. Smith is here. Will? Don't move, Professor Robinson. Or this rather peculiar family reunion will be tragically brief. I'll ask you to step away from that, Major. It's a time machine, you idiot. I had hoped to take over the ship with this. One of life's little ironies. Let's try this dance again. You are the puppet. I am the puppeteer. Do try to get it right this time. Robot, you will respond to my voice alone. Affirmative. Affirmative. Enable electric disruptors. Now, that's a good gargantuan. You did it! Just like I imagined. You linked the dimensional sifter to the navigational array. That's how it can be in the same place at the same time. But the spatial delivery system, your targeting laser ` I never thought of those. The future is never what it seems like when you're 10. Say goodbye to your past! Your future lies with me. I'm going home in your place. What are you grinning at? Look around you, Doctor ` at this hostile world. Do you really think a boy could have survived all alone? Never fear ` Smith is here. Dad! It's Dr Smith. Hello, Doctor. How nice to see me again after all these years. (YOUNG SMITH GROANS) Confused, John? Have I changed? The spider's sting had some unexpected side effects. My unique gifts gave me an advantage in this quarrelsome world. After the wimp was savaged, I became the father... Will never had. Two decades of agony taught me the error of my ways. But you, Doctor,... your crude ambition fills me with self-loathing, you see? I have looked within me, and what I see is YOU! (SCREAMS) I never liked me, anyway. Hmm. Robot, kill them all. No! No! What? No! What? Dr Smith, please... don't. Very well. Robot, take them inside and keep them there. If they move, then kill them. Proceed or be destroyed. Nothing works. I'll draw his fire. You grab Will. No! Will, no! Stop! Robot, do you remember me? Do you remember what I taught you about friendship? I need you to help us now, Robot, because we're friends. Logic error - friendship does not compute. Just forget logic! Act with your heart. Robot has no heart. Robot is powered by a fusion-pulse generator. Every living thing has a heart. My programming has been modified to remove all emotion. Any attempts to override command protocols may result in fusing my neural net. RUMBLING Please, Robot, if you don't let us go, we're all going to die. So I'm asking you now ` will you help us? Will you be my friend? Robot attempting to deactivate control bolt. Come on, Robot! Come on, Robot! Commands overridden! You can do it! Destroy Robinson family! Destroy! Destroy! Destroy Robinson family! You did it. Robot will save Will Robinson. Robot will save his friend. COMPUTER BEEPS (SIGHS) Where are they? JOHN: Wait here, Will. Without that core, I can't promise we'll get off this rock. See if you can make it back to our 'Jupiter'. I'll try to get the core material and meet you there. We don't have the trackers to find our way back. John, the family needs their father. John, the family needs their father. The crew needs their pilot. I can't fly the ship as well as you can. You're their best chance to survive. You don't` Listen to me, Don. I know you never wanted to take this job. I think you're gonna turn out to be a grade-A babysitter. Go. The camp is all yours now. You take care of them. Good luck. Dad. Professor. Remember the space spiders on the 'Proteus'? They're not gonna be able to get back. Penny, enable all missiles. But the warheads don't work. Just do it. Look! Will! Damn, he's still breathing. Fire in the hole. Fire in the hole. BEEPING 'So these sailors, they drew shapes in the sky...' Get up! Don, look at the flare!

The plasma around the portal will rip a man to pieces. Haven't you made the doorway too small? Not for me. But, then, I'm not going, am I? The spiders didn't kill the girls. It was you. I just never let myself see it. You kept me alive because you needed me. Because I could build this for you. Poor little boy. Did you really think... that I would let you go home? Let all that I have become... vanish? Look at me! I'm no mere man. I... am... a... GOD! Within these egg sacs grow the seeds of a master race of spiders. We shall descend upon helpless Earth ` an entire planet to rule, an entire planet on which to feed! Time to die,... SON. I'm not your son. I'm not your son. Goodbye. (SCREAMS) My father once said, 'Evil always finds its true form.' You should have killed me when you had the chance. You were right. I couldn't kill the man. But I can kill the monster! Spare me the fury of the righteous. (GASPS) (GASPS) I think there's time for a snack... before my trip. The pain, the pain (!) You ain't seen nothing yet. Remember the 'Proteus'? Hmm?
