Blake's 7 (TV Series)

Mission to Destiny (1978)

Paul Darrow: Kerr Avon

Quotes 

• Cally : My people have a saying, "A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken."

  Avon : The life expectancy must be fairly short among your people.

• Cally : Remember that Avon and I will be staying. We will regard ourselves as hostages against Blake's return.

  Kerr Avon : Well thank you Cally, what a clever idea.

  Cally : [telepathically]  Blake will return.

  Kerr Avon : You can bet your life on it, in fact you've just bet both our lives on it.

• Cally : We must help these people.

  [She and Avon hand their teleport bracelets to Blake] 

  Kerr Avon : Must we? Personally, I don't care if their whole planet turns into a mushroom.

• Avon : It is frequently easier to be honest when you have nothing to lose.

• Kendall : [Putting neutrotope in the box]  Yes, it's enough to tempt anyone. There are men who would betray their companions for a lot less.

  Kerr Avon : [Appearing in doorway]  What a very cynical thought, Doctor.

• Kendall : Someone among us is determined this mission should fail and frankly I can't even guess at a motive.

  Avon : Try greed. It's usually reliable.

• [Avon produces evidence that Sara is the murderer. Everyone turns round to find her pointing a gun at them] 

  Sara : So now you know. It doesn't matter, you'd have known soon enough anyway.

  Kendall : Sara, why?

  Sara : I wanted the neutrotope. Or at least the money it would give me. It's that simple.

  Avon : Was Mandrian in it if with you?

  Sara : No, but he found out. I asked him to share it with me but he wouldn't. He wanted me to come to you and admit the whole thing. If I didn't, he was going to tell you himself. So... But none of that's important now. I only need a little more time.

  Avon : You're not going anywhere, Sara. You just don't get off a spaceship and run.

  Sara : I'll kill the first one that puts his head outside this door.

  [Sara backs out of the room, still covering them with the gun. Avon waits a moment, then goes to the door and peers out, checking the coast is clear. Then he comes back] 

  Avon : Well, she's one of your crew, you'd better get after her.
