Doctor Who (1963) s01e36 Episode Script

codigobarra A desperate venture.
Why are you doing this? Pay attention to me! You will write a letter to the man John.
I certainly will not! Argument is a waste of time! Two of your friends have gone up into the spaceship they cannot help you; two of the others have gone down into the aqueduct.
The Doctor and Ian? Yes.
They cannot help you.
The other two, the man John and the girl Susan are waiting innocently in the laboratory for you.
Your party is divided.
What do you want me to do? Write to the man John.
Tell him that you have gone up into the spaceship, in this way he will not suspect your disappearance.
You can't force me to do this! I can see that you stay alive.
Your life means nothing to me, let us make a bargain: you will write the note, I will see you live.
Very well.
Be wary of her, we cannot read her thoughts.
She may be Be quiet! Write.
You will stay here and guard her.
She will guarantee the success of all my plans.
And I shall be given high office? I shall reward those who are faithful to me.
John, Have gone up to space ship, Carol She couldn't have gone up to the spaceship.
I should have seen her or passed her on the way.
She was obviously forced to write this, and whoever did it had no idea that I was being brought down here.
Oh I bet that the City Administrator had something to do with it.
But why kidnap her? I should think the why is fairly obvious, wouldn't you? No I don't think it is Barbara.
We're on good terms with the first Elder, the Doctor's discovered an antidote for the poison and now he and Ian are tracking down the cause of the trouble.
Look, I've been away in the ship, so maybe I can see things more clearly, and I think we're being used by one of the Sensorites who wants to gain power.
You mean we're not just being attacked because we're from other planets? No.
I greet you.
Thank you.
Your friends expressed so much concern about you, I agreed to have you brought down to the sense sphere.
I'm afraid we must ask for your help.
If I can.
The Doctor and Ian are missing, have you any idea where they are? Well please, tell me.
There is a quality in human beings which intrigues me, your concern for each other.
I assure you the two men are safe.
You know where they are? Yes, but they asked me not to tell you what their plans were.
Oh, that's Grandfather.
Look, would you mind reading this letter? I gave no such order.
No, we didn't think you did.
Then why did your friend write what is not true? Because someone made her write it.
She could not travel without my ordering it.
Where did you seereceive this? Well, it was given to us in the courtyard, where all the arches are.
She is being held prisoner.
Not by any Sensorite.
Of course she is! Quietly, John.
Look, whatever she wrote this with wasn't dry, I-I put my thumb on it and smudged it.
And this is her writing? Yes.
And that smudge must have means that it was written just before we got it.
Are you implying that your friend Carol is being held prisoner in this Palace? I assure you she is not.
Are there any other buildings in vicinity? None.
Except the disintegrator room.
Where's that? Below the courtyard, it is rarely used now.
I cannot allow this mystery, but I can see that it worries you.
As to your other friends I must tell you, they have gone down into the aqueduct.
What? Oh, they were given light and a good map - also they were armed.
They can be in no danger.
There's no doubt about it Doctor, the inside filament's been removed.
These weapons are useless.
Yes, It's only one of our troubles dear boy, look at this map.
It's no use to us, look! All the lines have been altered.
Someone's been jigging around with it! We'll get out of here somehow Doctor.
Yes, in time; but have we got that time? Remember we've brought no food with us, and the only water available is that poisoned water out there, with deadly nightshade.
That's a charming outlook, hah! How long are you going to keep me here? That is not for me to say.
Look, I've had nothing to eat and I'm very thirsty.
It is of no consequence.
But I wrote the letter! But surely you didn't think you would be released? all human creatures are naïve.
They live while they have a purpose, as soon as that purpose is achieved their life has no value left.
Stop! I've only to cut her with this and she will die! Don't be foolish, put it down! No Sensorite should be humbled before a human creature! Throw it down.
Throw it down! Take him to the first Elder.
I have already imprisoned you once, this time you will not escape.
Oh, John! This is very serious.
That Sensorite was imprisoned on my order, now I find that he has escaped and kidnapped one of the human beings.
He is a menace to society! I agree.
Let him be punished! He shall be! We must also find who his accomplice is.
Ah, so you believe that another Sensorite is working with him? Obviously.
He had to girl that.
.
guard the girl Carol.
Who then, delivered the letter she was forced to write? What I cannot tolerate is accusation, I must have clear and definite proof.
Yes sir.
Clear and definite proof.
Come in my friends.
You have been questioning this Sensorite who has acted so treacherously? Yes, and what he told us is terrifying.
Has he identified his accomplice? No.
Not yet.
But he did say that the maps and the guns given to the Doctor and Ian were quite useless.
Outrageous! This Sensorite will die for this! Oh yes, but what about Grandfather and Ian? What can I say? Lost and unarmed in the aqueduct I'm afraid that answer isn't good enough! Do not be insolent to the first Elder! Look, you must decide who your friends are and save them.
There is nothing I can do.
Is there an authentic map to the aqueduct? Yes.
Well if Susan and I can find a way to rescue them, will you help us? I am suspicious of these creatures sir, they ask too much.
That other human being, the Doctor, he has found a cure for our people.
He has placed his life in danger for the sake of the Sensorite Nation.
Yes, I will give you all the help I can.
Well whatever's out there hasn't attacked us yet.
Mm.
Courage my boy, both hands.
Come on.
Doctor! Mm? Something moved slightly up ahead of us.
Mm? Doctor, it was a man! I know it was! Are you sure? Yes! Look, this came away in the struggle.
It looks like a shoulder flash.
I-N-E-E-R.
Yes, just as I suspected! It must be one of those survivors from that spaceship that exploded.
Well why should they come here? To hide and poison the water.
Yes, but why poison the water in the first place? Let's go and ask him! This is the entrance to the aqueducts? Yes.
Tell me, can I use one of your mind-transmitters? You have my permission to try.
But how will it help you? Well, John and I will go down to the Aqueduct, Susan will stay here and direct us.
Yes, and we can both guide guide them both out.
My Scientists tell me that you do not require the use of our mind transmitters.
Well, I've always been able to read your mind, but only when you allowed me too.
Your mind must be finely tuned, the frequencies covering the surface of the Sense-Sphere are numerous.
You must be able to break in on the major ones.
Well I can't, do you mind if I try your invention? Hold it to your forehead, and try to close your mind to everything but the person to whom you wish to communicate.
It is safe, provided you do not allow your concentration to slip.
Alright.
Susan, let's try a little experiment.
Right.
The entrance to the aqueduct is there.
It works! Well there's no point in delaying, as soon as John and I reach the entrance you start directing us.
Alright? Right.
Carol'll be here to help me.
Good.
Oh by the way, I would like one of your warriors left here with Susan.
Yes, one that you trust implicitly.
I trust all Sensorites, you will be guarded safely.
Thank you.
Please find them Barbara.
A very capable human being.
Yes, she is.
Gentle, yet with strong determination and courage.
I was about to I was going to I I-I was going to say: why do you trust your people? Why do you want to make me doubt them? But trust can't be taken for granted, it must be earned.
I trust you, but only because I know you.
But Susan, our whole life is based on trust.
Yes, and that might be your downfall.
Look, you don't trust the ground you walk on until you know it is firm, do you? So why trust your people blindly? When I listen to you, you who are so young among your own kind, I realise that we Sensorites have a lot to learn from the people of Earth.
Well Grandfather and I don't come from Earth.
Oh, it's ages since we've seen our planet.
It's quite like Earth, but at night the sky is a burnt orange; and the leaves on the trees are bright silver My mind tells me that wish to see your home again, and yet there is a part of you which calls for adventure.
A wanderlust.
Yes.
Well, we'll all go home someday, that's if you'll let us.
I think I will.
I hope all of you will be able to.
Could be going around in circles you know.
Oh no, my boy.
No no-no-no.
Uncanny.
It's so quiet.
Yeah.
Perhaps they're preparing an ambush? And you're a cheerful soul, I must say.
I assure you my dear boy, my spirits couldn't be higher! Collecting evidence, circumstantial and otherwise.
Doctor Calculating it, pursuing it until it's inevitable end - it's fascinating! Doctor! Oh don't interrupt my dear boy, it's most irritating! Chesterton! I know, I've been trying to tell you.
Yes It's alright, let's back up the passage and jump out on them.
You were right about the ambush weren't you? Yes.
Don't do anything to alarm them.
You have come at last! We came to find you.
That's right.
Watch them number One! We have been waiting for you.
Are they all dead? Dead? The Sensorites, you mean? Yes, the Sensorites.
Do you have a spaceship? Yes.
Are there more of you? No.
No others in the channels at all? You You haven't brought the Sensorites with you? No! Wouldn't you like to leave these tunnels and go out into the sunshine again? No, they would hear our minds talking! Follow me, he is going to talk to you! Yes, I thought there'd be a third.
Yes, the Commander you'll have to talk to him.
Follow me.
They're entering to the aqueduct now.
Oh, she's a little indistinct.
Well tell her to speak to you, you do the same.
Alright.
Barbara, speak the words as you think them.
Oh that's better.
Yes alright Susan.
We're to go straight ahead to start with, and then keep turning to the right.
Right, I'll lead.
They're beginning now.
You give us your word you are alone? Oh yes, definitely.
There's something here.
This is the Doctor's map alright.
I remember the senior Scientist drawing it in the labolaboratory.
But it's all screwed up, they must have realised it was useless.
Let's move on.
Shall we take it with us? Yes, we'll need it as proof that the maps were tampered with.
How are they progressing? Oh they haven't found them yet.
Well at least they found the maps.
Oh, Barbara's talking to me again.
No doubt about it.
John says this is a fresh mark, probably made by the Doctor.
We're going to try and follow these marks Susan, so instead of you directing us, we're going to tell you what route we're going to take.
Let's hope they were made by the Doctor, that's all.
In case we have to make a run for it, my dear boy.
I'm glad you're on my side, Doctor.
That's right Barbara.
She's going down this channel now.
And no harm has come to them yet? Oh no.
Perhaps the Doctor and Ian are chasing the creatures in the aqueduct? Or they've been captured.
Wait here.
The new arrivals are here Commander.
This is the best news I've had in quite some time, I'm very glad to see you both.
Did you have a rough journey? Yes, I'm sure you must have done.
Let us have something to sit down on number One.
They are very rough quarters here, you'll have to excuse that, but I'm sure you are both used to battle stations by now.
Yes.
Excuse me.
Number Two, you can take over ammunition detail now, you'll find the new ammunition supplies all ready.
Pipe it into number seven this time.
Alright? Carry on.
Number One, organise a lecture for number Two will you? Saluting isn't for me you understand, it's the uniform.
Understood?! Yes sir.
Have to keep the discipline up, you know.
But they're all good men, very fine.
Morale's very high here.
Sit down.
Well you Have a very well ordered base here sir.
It's very good of you to say so.
We have a surprise for you.
The war with the Sensorites is over.
Is that true? Oh yes.
And the planet's ours now is it? Completely? Completely.
Well this is absolutely wonderful! We nearly lost, you know.
I had the command of a fine spaceship, very fine.
Two of my men deserted; pretended they had to go back to Earth to get reinforcements.
So you had to blow up your spaceship? Yes.
Still, I'll be able to get another one.
I'll be able to afford it now, planet's very rich you know.
Yes, molybdenum.
Oh.
You know about that do you? You do realise that this war has been fought by me and my men here? Any treasure trove is ours.
That's quite understandable isn't it Chester And I'm prepared to back that statement up with force if necessary! I have good supplies here, loyal men.
Of course, but we're just discussing this, but you are alone aren't you? hardly in a position to fight me.
And I have my men, and my organisation.
Commander, warning in route two.
What?! Have you been telling me lies? You've brought other people with you, haven't you?! Perhaps they're really allies of the Sensorites! No, number One, not allies - spies! The war isn't over at all is it? I thought it was a bit too good to be true.
Now just a minute, we knew nothing about this warning signal of yours No, of course you didn't, and it's tripped you up hasn't it?! Number One! There'll be a Court Martial immediately.
Treason! Barbara! Ian! What on Earth are you doing here? The first Elder allowed me back.
What's going on? Who are these people? I'm afraid you've misjudged us, sir.
These people are part of the committee, here to welcome you.
We all came down here to welcome you onto the surface.
To celebrate your success, sir.
What's going on? Play it cool.
And who is this? Er this, this is our navigator.
She is going to lead us back.
Well I'm glad the fighting's over.
Look forward to a bit of a rest now, for a while.
Yes, you deserve it sir, and so do your men.
And I think that the sooner we take you all out into the sunshine, the better.
Number One, assemble the men please.
We'll be leaving immediately.
It seems we have a victory to celebrate.
You might pass on my congratulations to the men, number One.
Thank you very much sir.
Shall we move then? They are coming.
You will take up your position just by the entrance there.
When they have all come through you will step out and prevent anyone from escaping back into the aqueduct.
Now take your place.
It is useless to resist.
Don't worry, I think we can handle these two.
Come on Barbara.
Well come back here you men! Treachery! It's all over now.
Treachery! Pitiful fellow.
Oh, I know he did your people incalculable harm I could have killed him.
I wanted to, but that would not be the way, would it? No.
He could have destroyed the entire Sensorite Nation.
Yes, but the fact is you didn't kill him.
Shows great promise for the future of your people.
Captain Maitland has agreed to take the others back to Earth.
They were completely insane.
They really believed they were at war with you.
At some time they must have opened their minds, or experimented with the mind-transmitters.
Every really rational thought was crushed out, and all they had left was the game they played; the game of war.
What about the Second Elder? You finding the map proves his treachery.
He will be banished to the outer wastes.
Well, I think we must go back to the ship sir.
Yes you must go.
The lock has already been sealed back in it's proper place.
So go your way now, and take the gratitude of the Sensorites with you.
Thank you.
Goodbye.
Where are those other two, Hmm? Oh, they're coming.
What's the matter my child? I had a talk with the senior Scientist just before we left.
It seems that the Sense-sphere has an extraordinary number of ultra-high frequencies, so I won't be able to go on using thought transference.
Hoh-ho, it's rather a relief I think.
After all, no-one likes an eavesdropper about do they? No I think you obviously have a gift in that direction and when we get home to our own place I think we should try and perfect it, mm? When will we get back Grandfather? I don't know my dear, this old ship of mine seems to be an aimless thing.
However, we don't worry about it do we? Do you? Sometimes I feel I'd like to belong somewhere; not just be a wanderer Still, I'm not unhappy.
Good, good.
Well, here we are.
Oh at last! I very nearly went off without you! We were saying goodbye to John and Carol.
Hah, let's have a look at Maitland and see him off shall we? Well, at least they know where they're going.
Implying I don't? I didn't mean anything of the sort! So, you think I'm an incompetent old fool do you? Now Doctor, I never said that! Since you are so dissatisfied my boy, you can get off this ship.
And the very next place we stop I shall take you off myself, and that is quite final! Carry on! - Subtítulo no traducido -
