Hang on. Are you sure this is the right way?

Course I'm sure. Don't you trust me?

It's not that. Well... the dragon and all that...

The dragon? That's just to
frighten little children!

It's like witches and goblins.
There ain't no such thing!

Mega!

Get down!

That's not a real dragon. And
it's not breathing real fire!

It's not just Doctor.



I've located the Ice Garden there was a
distinct absence of dragon and treasure.

I sympathise with your disappointment.
But I'm about to plummet to my death!

I suppose you'll be wanting me to
risk my neck and come and help you.

Glitz!

All right, all right. Don't
get your delicates in a twist!

Glitz!

Below you astound me! These two girls
should be search when you arrested them!

You seem to be taking advantage
of my former feelings for you.

Be warned... the past is an empty slate.
I demand absolute loyalty, now and forever.

And I do not forgive those who betray me.

The two girls must be stopped, before
they reach Glitz and the Doctor.

They must be... eradicated.

What could be more appropriate than to
despatch Glitz's former crew after the girls?

He betrayed his crew, now
they can have their revenge!



Every one must be allowed his moment of revenge...

It's no use, Doctor.

Even if we do find it, it's take
us more than seventy-two hours.

And Belazs said that if I don't return
Kane's money within seventy-two hours,

they'll confiscate my spacecraft.

Perhaps if you were to
explain the problem to Kane...

He'd slice his mother up to make a point.

If he was a mortician, the
corpses would keep their eyes open.

In fact, if he knew we was
after the Dragon's Treasure.

Your life expectancy wouldn't be
looking too clever at the moment.

He's a cold man, Doctor. Cut him open, and
you won't find a heart, just a lump of ice...

These types never seem to
have any sense of fair play.

Exactly. And that's why I
have come to the conclusion

that playing by the rules is a mug's game.

I've decided to hijack the
Nosferatu, which is where you, Doctor.

Now a moment, Glitz. I'm engaged in
a project of scientific curiosity.

The dragon, or whatever it turns out
to be, may be an undiscovered species.

Look, I'll do you a good deal. If
you'll help me get the Nosferatu, back,

I'll give you the treasure map so that
you and Mel can go looking for this dragon.

Now I can't say no fairer than that, can I?

I don't have my dear Glitz. Without
the map, I can't find the creature.

You're a man of rare insight and logic, Doctor.

All right, then. Where's the Nosferatu berthed?

It's in the Lower Docking Bays.

A work of artistry my
friend, incandescent artistry.

I could almost believe that Xana lives again.

The unique beauty, yes... But more than that...

The criminal genius also.

What a waste... It should have been I
who was killed escaping arrest, not you...

You're joking! I'm not going down there!

Look it's the Doctor's brolly!
We must be on the right track!

What did he have to come this
way for? I could break my neck!

How are get down here?

*****

It's only one guard. Do you think you can
keep him occupied, while I sneak on board?

I'll do my best.

Go then, off you go.

Excuse me... what's your attitude
towards the nature of Existence?

For example: do you hold any
strong theological opinions?

I think you'll find most educated people regard
mythical convictions as fundamentally animistic.

I see... That's a very interesting concept...

Personally, I find that most
experiences border on the existential.

Ah. But how would you reconcile that
with the empirio-critical belief,

that experience is at the root of all phenomena?

I think you'll find that a concept
can be philosophically valid,

even if theologically meaningless.

So, what you're saying is
that before Plato could exist,

someone had to have the Idea of Plato?

You've no idea what a relief it is for me to
have such a stimulating philosophical discussion.

There are so few intellectuals about these days.

Tell me what are your views on the
assertion that the semiotic thickness

of a performed text varies according to the
redundancy of auxiliary performance codes?

Yes.

Oh, my ship.

Soon be light years away from this place.

I wouldn't touch those controls, if I were you.

Wicked! And Bilgebag said this
was too dangerous for girls!

This spacecraft is mine!

Hang about! The seventy-two
hours isn't up yet. You said,

if I could get hold of the jumbo,
I could have the Nosferatu back.

In that case, I shall just have to make sure
you don't manage to find the money in time.

I shall have to make very sure.

Hello! Not interrupting anything, am I?

What are you doing here?

A very difficult question.

Why is everyone around here so
preoccupied with metaphysics?

I think she's going to kill us, Doctor.

Ah, an existentialist...

Quiet!

Only one the boss can live
Iceworld about the Nosferatu. **

And one where the other is going to be me.

What about the boss Mr Kane?

Does he know about this little enterprise?

Kane doesn't own me!

Oh, I think he does.

I think he bought you just like
he buys everything in Iceworld.

What do you know about it?

I think he bought you a long time ago. He
paid seventeen crowns each for Glitz's crew.

How much did he pay for you?

Was it worth it? Were you worth it?

That's what I sold myself for! Kane's
mark! I should cut my hand off for doing it!

Go on, then. Kill me!

Come on, Doctor. We've got the
Nosferatu. Let's get away from here.

No, Glitz. You'd be like her. Everithing I want.

Like ***** moster. Pay Kane back is debt.

Even if it costs a thousand crowns.
Even ten thousand. Pay off the debt.

Please you. Your debt to Kane, I don't
think you can ever pay off... ever.

The whole of eternity has held
its breath for this moment.

But no one must ever see your work.

It exists, that is enough.

No one can ever be allowed to look on it and live.

Gaze on it, and die fulfilled...

What's the matter?

Did you hear that?

Hear what?

I'm sure I heard something.

What kind of something?

I don't know. Can you see anything?

Look out!

Gordon Bennett!

I think we go straight on.

Either that, or we don't.

Well, now that we've found the Dragonfire,

what's next on the list of
tourist attractions, Doctor?

Ah, I'm not absolutely certain
that this one is over yet...

It must be generating a spot
temperature in excess of 1500?C.

Right cover your ears!

Mega!

Go on, Doughnut, throw the other one!

Yeah! Go for it, Doughnut!

That was well brill!

I don't we're clear yet.

They can't believe.

Not after two cans of nitro. That's all there was.

Come on, then let's shift!

Doughnut. Come on. Come on wake up.

What happened?

It's all right, Doughnut. It's going.

Get back, Doctor.

No, Glitz, don't!

Why?

Because not right to kill.

Why didn't it kill us?

Perhaps we'd better ask it...

Can't sleep, Belazs?

How old do you think I am, Kracauer?

Thirty-three...
thirty-four...

And how old do you think I was
when I first agreed to join Kane?

Sixteen... That was a long time ago.

You see this?

Yes, the mark of the sovereign.

You'd have thought would begin
to disappear after twenty years.

We sold ourselves. We knew what
we were doing. We had a choice.

I was sixteen!

Even at sixteen, we had a choice.

You kill us. You find someone *****
until kill us unless with kill him first.

How do you propose to kill him?

With heat! Even here in
Iceworld, it's too warm for him.

I've seen inside the Restricted Zone.
That's where he keeps his refrigeration unit.

He has to return there whenever
his body temperature rises too high.

***** coffee?

Oh, thanks.

You know I did for a job when
they threw me out of school?

No.

I worked as a waitress in a fast-food cafe.
Day in, day out, the same boring routine.

The same boring life. It was all wrong. It
didn't feel like me that was doing it at all.

I felt like I'd fallen from another planet,
and landed in this strange girl's body,

but it wasn't me at all. I
was meant to be somewhere else.

Each night, I'd walk home,

and I'd look up at the stars
through the gaps in the clouds.

And I'd try to imagine where I really came from.

A dream that one day everything would come right.

One day something would come and take
me back home. Back to my real home.

Then it really happened... and I ended up here.

Ended up working as a boring waitress again.

Only this time, I couldn't dream of going
nowhere else. There wasn't nowhere else to go.

One day, when we return home, I shall
erect colossal statues in your honour.

Ambient cabinet temperature: minus
10?C. Target temperature: minus 193?C.

Cabinet temperature dropping...

There's something I've never told anyone.

Do you promise not to laugh, and not tell no one?

Of course.

It's my name... it's not really
Ace. My real name's Dorothy.

That's how I knew they
couldn't be my real Mum and Dad.

My real Mum and Dad would never have
given me a naff name like Dorothy.

Come on.

...minus 150?C... minus 160?C... minus 170?C...

Cabinet temperature rising... minus 160?C...

- Down there?
- I suppose so.

Ah, Mel, you've brought my umbrella!

- Doctor!
- Professor!

- Bilgebag.
- Sprog.

No now squabbling.

There's no place for animosity in
a serious scientific undertaking.

You mean the dragon?

It doesn't seem to be a dragon to
be more of a semi-organic vertebrate

with a highly developed cerebral cortex.

And it's got laser beams in its
eyes, and it tried to kill us!

Did it really? Hmm, I wonder
what you did to annoy it?

It just came at us, Professor! No warning!

Well, let's see what this vertebrate with laser
beams in its eyes has got to say for itself.

Ah! Hello, and where might
you have popped up from, then?

They've been sent by Kane, Doctor.

He's got masses of them frozen in his deep freeze!

Cryogenics, eh?

Hang about. I'd recognise
this mutinous rabble anywhere!

Friends of yours, are they?

***** all time.

You won't idea how pleased I am to see you again.

It's no good, Glitz. Ace says
they've been cryogenically frozen.

What about that time we
captured a space freighter,

and then it was carrying natural fruit alcohol?

We got well dehydrated that night, eh?

It's no use. Deep cryogenesis
causes neural pathways.

Oh, come on, *****, it's me, ***** Glitz.

It's completely impossible for them to
recall any events prior to cryogenesis.

I remember.

And that's in the case of
overpowering anger and hatred!

I remember how you always
got the best of our pickings.

I don't recall...

I remember, I remember how you sold us
to Kane, to be frozen as mercenaries.

Come on a joke's a joke.

I thought they were friends of yours?

Well, more acquaintances actually.

We don't intend to harm you. You understand?

It's friendly.

It wants us to go with it, Professor.

Well, let's see what our new
friend wants to show us, then.

Warning. Defrost threshold
crossed. Cabinet temperature rising.

plus 1?C... plus 2?C... plus 3?C... plus 4?C...

What is happening?

Can't breathe... I'm too hot...

Kracauer... What is this?

No... Not my statue! No.

Who has desecrated the monument?

Who?

Belazs!

Target temperature minus 193?C. Temperature
cabinet 0?C, minus 10?C, minus 20?C...

This is beautiful, Doctor.

Here, I can hear singing!
Where's it coming from, Professor?

I think it wants us to watch.

What's it doing, Professor?

So that's what all this is for! It's
a polydimensional scanning imager.

And our friend the Creature is
using itself as the energy source.

Planetary archives. Criminal
history, segment 93-12-03.

Two of the most vicious examples of the
criminal mentality have been the leaders

of the notorious Kane-Xana Gang.

Until its demise, this gang carried
out systematic violence and extortion,

unequalled in its brutality.

In view of the sheer evil of his crimes,

Kane is to be exiled from the planet
Proamon and never allowed to return home.

He will be banished to the
barren planet of Svartos,

which has a permanently frozen
dark side on which he can survive.

Ah! My dear Belazs.

You know, I've been thinking... I've been
thinking over your request to leave me.

You've been with me a long
time now. I'm very fond of you.

But I've been thinking it over very
carefully and I've decided, you may leave me.

Leave?

Whenever you wish.

Go, in fortune and happiness.

You traitor! I've been planning my
revenge for three thousand years!

You stand in my way, now that I am so close?

Kane's partner, the woman Xana,

killed herself during the final
siege of the gang's headquarters,

to avoid being arrested and tried for her crimes.

Fascinating.

That explains about Kane. But
where does the Creature come from?

And what about the fabulous treasure? Is this it?

No, no. We may be deep beneath Iceworld,
but Kane could find this easily enough.

No, the treasure must be somewhere
else. Somewhere beyond Kane's reach.

What does fear most?

Heat. It'll kill him.

Precisely. So what better way
of protecting the real treasure

than to leave a fire-breathing
dragon to guard it?

What better protection than
if the dragon is the treasure?

The Creature, the treasure?

Am I right? Is it you that everyone
has been looking for? Treasure.

It's worth a fortune.

Look past the fabulously valuable crystal, Glitz.

Look at the fire inside it. A
source of intense optical energy.

Look at it through Kane's eyes. See
it as an evil mind would see it...

At last, after three thousand
years, the Dragonfire shall be mine!
