Doctor Who (1963) s02e04 Episode Script

(''DOCTOR WHO'' THEME) (DESPERATE CRY) Ohh! Hmm! It's not clear.
It's not clear at all! - What has gone wrong? - (IAN) Where are we? (BARBARA) Somewhere quiet, I hope! - Yes, let's have a holiday! - Look for yourselves! - I can't see anything.
- Neither can I.
It looks like moving water to me.
It might be a river somewhere.
What's the reading, Susan? Radiation nil, oxygen normal, pressure normal.
Grandfather, it's an Earth reading! I don't want to boast, but we might be somewhere in London, hmm? - Let's go and have a look! - Come on.
Open the doors.
(IAN) We made it! We're here! (DOCTOR) There we are.
Back home! Your planet! You brought us the long way round, Doctor! (DOCTOR) More by good luck than judgment! - What a horrible mess! - Are we down by the docks? HELLO! Pretty deserted! It's probably Sunday.
- Wonder which era we've landed in? - What was that, Doctor? I'm just wondering about the time factor, my boy.
A year or two either way doesn't matter.
I hope we're near your time, but we might have landed in the early 1900s or the 25th century.
- It's still London, anyway.
- Yes! Hey, what are you doing? I'm just having a look.
Yes, that's the word I was looking for, decay.
- It's most odd.
- Doctor, what's worrying you? Well, take this bridge.
It isn't an easy task, is it? Look at all this neglect all over the place.
It's been abandoned! There's always a mess with construction work.
- Perhaps, perhaps.
- Doctor, stop spoiling everything.
My dear, I wouldn't spoil your homecoming for all the world! Not a sign of any people anywhere.
OH! (IAN) Susan! - She's just shaken.
- You're always dashing about! - You're lucky it wasn't worse! - (SUSAN) My ankle! Look out! This whole thing's going to go! The ship, Chesterton, the ship! Don't go too near, my boy.
It's not safe.
The whole bridge has collapsed! Yes, well, it's all crumbling.
We're going to need help to shift this.
Yes, it will be difficult, but remember we're in London.
- What's that got to do with it? - People will be curious.
They'll want to know why we're trying to break into a police box.
If they don't ask why it's under a bridge in the first place! You know, it's primarily this girder.
What I need is an acetylene torch.
You can't just whisk up men and material out of thin air, can you? There's a warehouse over there.
I might find a crowbar or something.
I never fail to be impressed by your optimism! You can't move that by sheer brute force.
You were right.
You need a cutting flame.
I know one thing for sure, we'd better make sure we can get back into the ship before we look around, just in case there's trouble.
It's intelligent.
That's good .
.
but you know, young man, I have a feeling, call it intuition if you like.
I don't believe we're anywhere near your time, the 1960s.
I hope it IS only an intuition, Doctor.
Well, ask yourself.
Here we are, standing by the Thames, and we've been here a while, - What about it? - What have we heard? Nothing.
Precisely nothing.
No sound of birdsong, no voices, no sound of shipping, and not even the chimes of old Big Ben! It's uncanny.
Uncanny! (BARBARA) There are no bones broken, anyway.
I'm sorry about what happened.
So you're taking notice again, are you? Don't be angry.
There was no real harm done.
I just twisted my ankle.
No harm done? We can't get into the ship, and look at all this rubble! I didn't pull the bridge down on purpose! The Doctor and I are going to look in that warehouse.
- Can't we all go? - How's your ankle? I'll try it.
It's not very good.
It's awfully swollen.
That settles it.
You need to stay here.
We shall be as quick as we can.
Bathe that ankle.
What you need is a jolly good smacked bottom! Come on! It is swollen.
Can you twiddle your toes? Yes, that's all right.
I'll go and wet my handkerchief in the river.
I'm sorry, Barbara.
(CREAKING, CLUNKING) (CREAKING, CLUNKING) Let's take a snoop.
Careful, Doctor.
I'm not a half-wit.
(IAN) Hello, there! You know, we're not in our time in London, Susan.
Why do you say that? I know London, and it isn't like this.
The river's too quiet and there's no sound of traffic.
There's a strange poster on the wall back there.
It just doesn't make sense.
Well, off we go again! I'm sorry, Barbara.
Is it selfish to want us all to stay together? No, of course not! We ought to be able to hear something.
It's ridiculous! Things have to stay as they are, don't they? Can't change.
I suppose so.
Anyway, maybe they've done away with noise altogether.
- How's your ankle? - It's throbbing.
I don't think this is wet enough.
Hold on a minute.
(DOCTOR COUGHS) Chesterton.
Come here.
(DOCTOR) Ooh! (IAN) Empty! What a musty smell! This place hasn't been used in years! Doctor It's lost two chimneys! - What's that monstrosity? - Battersea Power Station.
What's happened to those two chimneys? What's happened to London is more to the point! They must have gone over to nuclear power.
What's this, then? Ah, look! At least we know the century, dear boy.
Look.
(IAN) 2164! Susan? Susan! (RUMBLING GUNFIRE) - Who are you?! - Do you want to get killed?! Where's Susan? - What have you done with her?! - Tyler's got her.
Come on! We've got to get out of here! Follow me! Wait! (DISTANT GUNFIRE) There's so much rubbish.
It's a jungle here! What the? He's dead! What on earth is this? It looks like some sort of adornment, but what for? I don't know.
Is it a medical aid? If he'd fractured his skull, something to knit the bones together? No, I think there's something more to it than that.
You know, I think that this is an extra ear, ideal for picking up high-frequency radio waves.
You mean they've invented a form of personal communication? Yes, something like that.
What's this? A whip.
Why? I wouldn't like to meet one of these fellows! (CREAKING) He was murdered! (CREAKING) Story of That noise came from up here.
Right, dear boy.
Come on.
Oooh! No one can get through that way.
Except you (!) We'd better pause in this search and get back to the others.
All right.
You lead on.
(RINGING HUM) (CLANG!) (SUSAN) Careful, Barbara! - Quickly! - What about Grandfather and my friend? - We'll do our best.
- You said you'd find them! There isn't time to argue! We'll collect your friends later.
Barbara! Susan! Why? Why did they do it? It might have been something to do with that gunfire we heard.
Yes, I suppose they might have hidden somewhere.
Let's wait and see.
That body! I want to get away from here.
Yes, but aren't you even a bit curious? It's your city, you know.
Don't you want to know what's happened to it? No.
No.
I don't want to know.
Where the devil are those two? - (MAN) Hold on! - Is this it? Yes.
Now, get back.
- (MAN) Tyler? - Yes.
Dortmun's on the rampage.
Who's this?! They were down by the river.
Open targets! - Well, we didn't know.
- You know now.
- Can you cook? - Yes, I can get by.
Good.
We need some cooks.
I had a struggle with a Roboman.
He was waiting for me.
- We have to change the storehouse.
- Tell Dortmun.
- Have you just come from there? - Yes.
They've got two friends down there.
I didn't see anyone there.
I nearly got caught by Were they in the warehouse opposite the power station? - Yes.
- I thought they were enemies! Tyler! Where have you been? - What have you been doing? - They've landed a saucer.
- This time we'll be ready for them! - You shouldn't be up here.
- I'm as active as anybody else! - All right, Dortmun.
I know.
Two more pairs of hands! - She says she can cook! - Can you? - What do YOU do? - I eat.
- I'll bring your friends back here.
- David, where are you going? - Two of them are at the warehouse.
- Men? - Yes.
- Good.
Don't be too long.
I'm going through the attack plans with Tyler.
I want you to be there.
- What attack plans? - Why are you sitting down? I've hurt my ankle.
- What attack plans? - Get these people below.
I'll stay here on watch.
High tide.
- Hmm? - High tide.
Evening.
Look how filthy that water is! Doctor! Come and have a look at this! - Hmm? - Look! - Stupid! - Read it! A stupid place to put a poster.
Right under a bridge where nobody can see it! If you have a body to get rid of, it's a very good place to come to.
A body in the river? I should say that's murder, isn't it? - ''Bring out your dead!'' - Hmm? Plague.
There they are! That must be them! It's got me worried.
Very worried.
You know, Doctor I reckon that flying saucer disappeared somewhere over the other side of the river in the direction of Sloane Square.
Never mind about the flying saucer.
You mentioned a plague - what if one of them went in that water? They'll be contaminated with bacteria! - They're not likely to drink it.
- No, the smell of it's enough.
Let's go further afield.
Come along.
I suggest that you go up that way and I go Run! - It's no good running.
- We can go down there.
- You mean swim? - What else? Hang on.
We haven't tried talking yet.
What do you want? (MONOTONE VOICES) Stop! It's no good.
Listen.
When I give the word, dive in the water.
Now! (''DOCTOR WHO'' THEME) (IAN) When I give the word, dive in the water.
Now! (VIBRATING, ROBOTIC VOICE) Why have the human beings been allowed to get so near the river? (IAN) Doctor, that voice! (ROBOMAN) No explanation.
(DALEK) Where is the Robo control for this section? (ROBOMAN) Not known.
You will take his place until he is found.
The human beings are to be taken to landing area one.
Daleks on Earth! How did this happen? Leave this to me, dear boy.
I think you'd better let us go.
We do not release prisoners.
We are the masters of the Earth.
- Not for long! - Obey us or die! Die? And just who are you to condemn us to death? We'd better pit our wits against them and defeat them! Stop! I can hear you! I have heard many similar words from leaders of your different races.
All of them were destroyed! I warn you, resistance is useless! Resistance is useless? Do you expect people to welcome you with open arms? We have already conquered Earth! Conquered the Earth (?) You poor, pathetic creatures, don't you realise? Before you conquer the Earth, you will have to destroy all living matter! Take them! Take them! We are the masters of Earth! We are the masters of Earth! We are the masters of Earth! (DALEK ON RADIO ) Survivors of London, the Daleks are the masters of Earth! Surrender now and you will live! Those wishing to surrender must stand in the middle of the street, and obey orders received.
Message ends.
Obey motorised dustbins (?) We'll see! Tyler, I want a word with you.
Jenny Get them some food and look after her ankle.
All right.
David Campbell will be back soon with news of your friends.
- Any messages? - No, the Africa group have faded out.
- Who's the one with the bad foot? - Me.
Ow! There are no bones broken.
Why didn't you put a wet bandage on it? - We've only just arrived.
- I see.
I'll see to this.
You get the food.
- What are you waiting for? - Where do I get the food? Over there.
Sign both your names down for work detail.
Susan can't work until her ankle's better.
She can do something with her hands, sitting at a table.
Look, there! We must attack them, Tyler! That sounds fine, but how? We can find 15, perhaps 20 men.
- Ample! - A handful of unarmed men against Daleks? I wonder about you, Tyler! This isn't the 20th century when men with bayonets charged machine guns! You've not been out there for ages.
It would be suicide.
I know.
I'm in this wheelchair so I can't go myself.
You know I didn't mean that.
- The new bomb? - Yes.
It's finished.
You haven't had it tested, I suppose? Tested? It doesn't need testing! It's all there in my formula.
It's perfect.
This bomb will destroy the Daleks.
I know it will work! (DAVID ) Apples.
There are apples there for everyone.
You've been down here so long that you're thinking like worms! We must have some chance of success! Campbell reporting in.
Tyler and I are discussing the next attack.
We'll be out soon.
I've got apples.
That department store has a lot of stuff in it.
- What about those two men? - I saw them being taken away.
- I couldn't do anything.
- We could have done with those two.
- I'll tell the women.
- Where were they taken? From the direction they went, I'd say the Daleks took them to the saucer at Chelsea.
(IAN) Doctor, I don't understand this at all.
We saw the Daleks destroyed on Skaro.
We were there! (DOCTOR) What happened on Skaro was a million years in the future! What we're seeing now is the middle history of the Daleks.
(IAN) I see.
They look different, don't they? (DOCTOR) Look.
They've taken some more prisoners.
What is so different about the Daleks? You mean the discs on their backs! Yes.
Perhaps that accounts for their increased mobility.
On Skaro, they could only move on metal.
Yes, but this is an invasion force, therefore they have to adapt themselves to the planet.
Where are the other two from your patrol? (ROBOMAN) This man killed them both.
For this, you will be punished.
Continue your patrol.
The prisoners will fall in line.
There'll be no escape from inside there.
I'm going to try something.
Are you with me? - Don't be a fool.
- I'm not going back to that mine! The prisoners will remain silent! (ROBOMAN) Forward! Don't be a fool! You can't help him now.
HELP ME! Kill him! (CRACKLING BUZZ) Any further resistance will be dealt with in the same way! The prisoners will proceed into the ship! I don't think we should tell Barbara.
David, I think we should.
We're going to make an attack on that saucer, so we'll tell her afterwards.
You mean if it's a success, we'll find Ian and Grandfather anyway? Yes.
And if it isn't, they've just disappeared.
All right.
You wanted to see these.
Well, take them.
I've got better things to do! You're a model of charm and patience! I don't believe in wasting time and I don't believe in sentiment! - You asked me to give these out.
- Just put it down there! Dessert! - What are these? - The Daleks invented them.
- They're called Robomen.
- No, these are from dead human beings.
The Daleks needed helpers, so they operated on prisoners and turned them into robots.
- I see.
- ''The transfer'', or the operation, controls the human brain, at least for a time.
- (SUSAN) What then? - Do they become human again? (JENNY) No, they die.
I've seen Robos break down.
They go insane.
They throw themselves off buildings or into the river.
The river? That's what it was.
Daleks! Everything they touch turns into a horrible nightmare! Are they still doing these operations? Yes, they keep up their numbers of Robomen.
They got my brother last year.
That's why they land their saucers at the heliport.
That's where the Daleks operate on the prisoners.
Once you're on board a saucer, there isn't a hope.
Yes, the work of a genius, dear boy! Yes, very impressive.
And absolutely escape-proof! Only on the surface, my friends.
(ROBOMAN) Move! Halt! You will move one by one slowly into the prison cell.
(ROBOMAN) Move! You, reverse and move! Is that the one? Yes.
He spoke of resistance.
(DALEKSUPREME) His words betray greater intelligence than normal in human beings.
Give them the test.
I had a good look into that corridor.
Did you notice the television eyes round about? - There aren't any in here.
- No.
I'll tell you what I did see, what I took to be a loading bay door.
Of course, it could be guarded outside.
- It will be.
- Nevertheless, it has possibilities.
What for? You can't get the door open.
There's no escape.
Don't be so pessimistic! What is your name, by the way? Craddock.
Jack Craddock.
Mr Jack Craddock, don't be such a defeatist! Our job is to get out of here, and quickly! You don't know the Daleks.
Once they have you inside a saucer, you're finished.
Craddock, tell us.
How did it happen, the invasion of Earth? Have you been on a moon station or something? (DOCTOR) Yes.
Quite so.
Meteorites came first.
The Earth was bombarded with them about ten years ago.
''A cosmic storm'' the scientists called it.
The meteorites stopped, everything settled down, then people began to die of this new kind of plague.
That explains your poster, dear boy.
Germ bombs? Yes.
The Daleks were up in the sky just waiting for Earth to get weaker.
Whole continents were wiped out - Asia, Africa, South America.
They used to say the Earth had a smell of death about it.
Why, Craddock? What were the doctors and scientists doing about it? They came up with a new drug.
- It was too late then.
- Why? What happened next? The plague had split the world into tiny communities, too far apart to combine and fight, and too small individually to stand any chance against invasion.
- Divide and conquer.
- Hmm.
Six months after the meteorite fall, the saucers landed.
Cities were razed to the ground.
Others were occupied.
Anyone who resisted was destroyed.
Some people were captured and turned into Robomen - slaves of the Daleks.
They caught other human beings and many of them were shipped to the vast mining areas.
No one escapes.
The Robomen see to that.
(CRADDOCK) They were our own people, made to work against us, and the Daleks knew that, knew how they'd humiliated and degraded us.
They are the masters of Earth.
Why? That's the one thing you haven't told us.
What is it that the Daleks want on Earth? I don't know.
There's something under the ground.
They've turned Bedfordshire into a gigantic mine area.
Why? What are they digging for? I don't know.
Suppose we forget all this blab about Bedfordshire? Have either of you seen this? All radio wave bands are open.
(DALEKSUPREME) Rebels of London.
This is our last offer.
Our final warning.
Leave your hiding places.
Show yourselves in the open streets.
You will be fed and watered.
Work is needed from you, but the Daleks offer you life.
Rebel against us and the Daleks will destroy London completely.
You will all die, the males, the females and your descendants.
(SOBBING) (DALEKSUPREME) Come out of your hiding places! The Daleks offer you life! ''Come out of your hiding places'' (!) We'll come out of our hiding place with this! This bomb will shatter the casing of the Daleks.
We don't need to run or hide any more! (MAN) He's done it! He's really done it! Listen carefully.
They've issued an ultimatum.
We'll give our answer tonight.
Tyler and I agree that the best place for attack is the heliport where they land the flying saucers.
- A frontal attack? - Yes, a frontal attack.
Of course.
We have the superior weapon now! One success will give our people hope again! One victory will set this country, the whole of Europe, alight! That's all we need - one victory! (CHEERING) How do we get within throwing range? - The buildings will cover us.
- The Daleks will fire at us - before we can use the bomb.
- We'll surprise them.
After the first bomb, we shall be penned in the buildings.
- (TYLER) We have to get closer.
- I know! Who was that? We could get into the middle of the Daleks without arousing suspicion if we use this.
Some of your men could disguise themselves as Robomen.
They could pretend to be escorting prisoners to the saucer.
- It'll work! - Yes, it'll work! We'll attack the saucer in one hour from now.
(DOCTOR) What is that you've got there? A magnifying glass.
Doctor, come and look at this.
- What do you make of this? - (CRADDOCK) I wouldn't touch it! Let me have that bar up there, will you? - Is it glass or something? - It's more advanced than that.
Let's try a little experiment.
You see? It responds! Magnetised! Profound discovery, mister (!) Doesn't help us! - Why did the Daleks put it there? - That's a very good question.
Suppose you were a Dalek locked up in this room, how would you get out? Push the door open? My dear young man, the Daleks have only feelers, no hands, and they use their brains, not brute force.
You mean this is a key? That's the very word.
A key in a crystal box.
You open the box, take out the key and use it.
- That is what the Dalek would do.
- What are we going to do? Look at that little light up there.
Yes, I see.
And the box is transparent.
Quite! Let me have that, will you? Thank you.
Now, we have to make sure that we hit the correct refractive, otherwise we shall get showered with crystal glass.
The Daleks don't leave things about for you to help yourselves! If they had to deal with a man of your talents, they need hardly fear! Now, do sit down and rest, please.
Oh, dear, where were we? Ah, yes.
Now, X equals gamma, that means roughly two and a half per cent, so that should give us a curve of round about eighty degrees.
By the way, did you take three-dimensional-graph geometry at school? - No, Doctor, only Boyle's Law.
- What a pity! What a pity! We'll have to boil this down now, shan't we (?) Well, let's see We'll start third from the left, then I'll follow it from the right, and straight over.
Put that bar there, and watch your eyes because it might be nasty.
Are you ready? (LAUGHS) And a great big pumpkin, too! - Look at that! - Hold that and shut up, will you? Let me have a bar, please.
You know, sometimes you astound me! Only sometimes, dear boy? What's happened to your memory? Don't you remember we know that the Daleks can use static electricity? Of course! How do you know so much about them, the Daleks, I mean? - We met them once before.
- And we happened to outwit them, too.
Please go away, will you? Oh, dear, dear! All we have to do is to slide this bar back here, and the self-same bar slides back into place here through electricity.
And it's held in place by magnetic force.
Precisely.
I want you to give him a hand.
Just turn that pole under there.
- There, you see? - I see what you mean! Like poles repel, eh? Precisely! Now we've created a force field! Turn the pole round.
Give him a hand.
Quickly! You're a genius! Now, let's get out, and be crafty! You have passed the escape test we set you! Take him! Let go of me! Take your hands off me! You will be robotised! There they are.
Now what do we do? As soon as Tyler's attack group arrives, we throw these.
Our prisoner will move to the table.
Take off his coat! (DOCTOR GROANS) Anaesthetize him! (DOCTOR) No, no! Please! What are you doing? Oh! No, no! Let me go now! Let me go! (DAVID ) Stand by! Take the prisoners into the ship.
Wait! In which sector were these prisoners taken? Sector four.
No patrol has been ordered in sector four! Now! - Attack! Attack! - Warning! Warning! Get the prisoners inside! Get down! (CRACKLING BUZZ AS DALEKS ATTACK) (DAVID ) Let's get out of here.
Section Five move forward.
Seal off the area.
Spread out and try and free the prisoners before you use the bombs.
We are under attack! Report to main ramp! General alert! Report to main ramp! (DALEKSUPREME) Disregard! Commence the operation! (''DOCTOR WHO'' THEME) Free the prisoners before you use those bombs.
We are under attack! Report to main ramp! General alert.
Report to main ramp! (DALEKSUPREME) Disregard! Commence the operation! (PIERCING BEEP) Get that man off there.
- He's unconscious.
- Bring him round.
Hurry! All Robomen reserve into action! Destroy invaders! Carry him.
Come on! Get out! All right, let's go! Use the bombs! Jenny, over here! Take them back.
I'll get Tyler out of there.
- Not on your own! - Take them back! - Your two friends are in there! - Shut up, Jenny! - Where are you going? - I'm going to help get them out.
- What will you do? - I don't know.
(JENNY) This way! (EXPLOSIONS) (CRACKLING BUZZ) Duck! (CRACKLING BUZZ) Barbara! Get back! Get back! Clear out! Let's go! (DALEKSUPREME) They are retreating! Take prisoners where possible! Do not kill! All exits are blocked.
Over here! (CRACKLING BUZZ) (DALEKSUPREME) Has the attack been defeated? Yes.
Most of the rebels were killed or wounded.
(DALEKSUPREME) Find every survivor! Destroy every one! Destroy them! Destroy every one of them! (SUSAN SOBS) (BARBARA) Tyler! (JENNY) Not now! - Your bombs were useless, Dortmun.
- How many men were killed? How many? I think all of them.
The Doctor and Ian were in that saucer.
There was an oldish man there.
I nearly got him out.
- Nearly? - We got separated.
We'll have to get out of London.
The Daleks won't look for us down here.
They'll search everywhere now and destroy every inch.
We've attacked one of their machines! Your show of force (!) I must stay here and work on the bomb.
It only needs work, Tyler.
- It's a waste of time.
- It's the only answer! Who's going to use it for you? Me? These two? Use your intelligence! Tyler's right.
London's much too hot for us.
What if Susan comes looking for us? - We've a code for our new location.
- But Susan doesn't know the code! Would you consider hanging on for a few days? No, Dortmun.
It's no use.
I only came back here to warn you.
I'm going to look for more survivors from that raid, then I'm going north.
- I'm coming with you.
- No, I want to move about alone.
- Your shoulder's still bleeding! - I'll be all right.
Good luck.
If you see my friends He won't come with us.
We'll have to go without him.
There IS the other place.
People will be gathering there.
There will be supplies, instruments.
I can work on my bombs.
Yes, we'll go to the museum.
I'll get my things together.
It will mean going across London.
- I know.
We'll go with you.
- Right.
We'd have had more chance on our own.
He wouldn't have had any without us.
Don't stay if you don't want to.
Dortmun may be right.
People may start collecting at the Civic Transport Museum.
(DORTMUN) We'd better get going.
It'll just be getting light.
Do you think we will find my friends there? Yes, it's a possibility.
(DALEKSUPREME) Supreme command have given orders for London to be destroyed by firebombs.
Do you intend to stay here in the city? No.
Order the saucer to take me to the mine workings in central England.
Five .

Lift off! (RINGING HUM) Craddock! (CRADDOCK SPEAKS IN MONOTONE) You are to be robotised! Robotised! Robotised! Robotised! Roboti Thanks! I was hiding in the storeroom when he found me.
- I smuggled myself aboard.
- You did what? The saucer's going to the mine and my brother's there.
I'm going to find him.
This isn't exactly the safest way to travel! It's the quickest! Where were you hiding? In the ramp housing, under there.
What are we going to do with him? Most of these large rooms have disposal chutes.
- That? - Yeah.
I'll give you a hand.
We'd better get his feet first.
(DALEK ON TANNOY) Break on 72.
Break on 72.
Report 0-5-5 Roboman.
Fault.
They've gone.
We'll give them a few minutes to get well clear, and then we'll move on.
- Where to? - I don't know.
We must try and find some other survivors.
Do you think? - Stop! - (RUNNING FOOTSTEPS) Stop! - Stop! - (MAN SHOUTS) Why? - Stop! - Why? You killed my mother and my brother! - Stop! - Get away from me! No! (CRACKLING BUZZ, AGONISED SCREAMS) If only we could go to the ship and get away from here! Well, I couldn't go anyway.
David, perhaps you could! I could ask Grandfather.
I'm sure he'd let you come! We could go to a place that had never heard of Daleks! What if there's something unpleasant there? We'll move on somewhere.
- No, that's not for me.
- Why not? Things aren't made better by running away.
Well, it's suicide to stay here! This is my planet! I can't just run off and see what it's like on Venus! I never felt there was any time or place that I belonged to.
I've never had any real identity.
One day you will.
There will come a time when you're forced to stop travelling, and you'll arrive somewhere! (CLATTER) - Daleks? - I don't know.
It could be the Robomen.
- (THUDDING) - It's coming closer! - It's coming down here.
- David, no! Just get in there and stay there! - David! - Baker! - I followed you.
- Are you all right? - Yes.
It's him I'm worried about.
- We're down here.
(SUSAN) Grandfather! What is it? Is he all right? He's not too badly hurt, is he? The Daleks drugged him.
It's beginning to wear off.
What about the others? Four or five got away.
The rest are dead or prisoners.
Do you want to stay here with us? A large group won't stand a chance.
I'll try alone.
I'll make for the Cornish coast.
It's deserted down there.
- It's a good idea.
- We must stay in London.
- Take this hip flask, it's full.
- No, it's all right.
Take it.
There's tons of food in London.
You'll need all you can get.
Thanks.
Good luck to you all.
I hope you find your friends.
Be careful! Thank you.
(DOCTOR) Goodbye, my friend.
(CRACKLING BUZZ) (BACKGROUND MUSIC: SLOW DRUMBEAT) (FASTER DRUMBEAT) (RAPID DRUMBEAT) (DRUMS FADE) - How's it coming? - It's finished.
The problem was the metal that the Daleks use in their outer casing.
We don't know much about it.
We call it Dalekenium.
Maybe that's what they're mining for in Bedfordshire.
No, the Daleks must have found Dalekenium before they came here.
- What are they mining for, then? - I don't know.
It must be something that's only found very deep in our planet.
(JENNY) There's no sign of anybody.
The Daleks HAVE been here, and some of us.
How do you know? These signs.
This means people have moved to the south coast.
The place is swarming with Daleks! - Do you think another force has landed? - Yes, I do.
We were lucky to get through the streets.
We haven't got a chance in London the way things are building up.
What can we do? What's the point in running away? I'm not running, I'm surviving.
(DORTMUN) You'll survive.
I've got the new formula! (BARBARA) I wish the Doctor were here! - So do I.
- But you don't know him! - He's a man of science, you said.
- He is.
He's a very brilliant one.
There's no sugar, I'm afraid.
I should like to show the results of my experiments to another scientist.
Where do you think he is? If I put myself in his place, I'm certain he'd head for that mine.
- If he's alive.
- Of course he's alive! Why? What's so special about the Doctor? He doesn't wear some sort of invisible shield, does he? Jenny, go outside and keep watch.
She's not callous really.
When people fight, they have to fight the Daleks in their own way.
Barbara, I should like you to find your friend, the Doctor, and give him my notes.
- You said you'd finished the bomb.
- I have.
Why can't you give it to him yourself? I can.
I'd like you to take care of them if you will.
I'm not exactly mobile in this thing.
I'm not leaving you.
Very well.
Let's make for the mine in Bedford.
We'll be safer away from the city.
Round up Jenny and we can make a start.
- Daleks are all over the place! Dortmun! - Keep your voice down! - He could have gone outside.
- He wouldn't be so stupid! He left his notes! He's trying it out for himself! (DORTMUN) Daleks! (CRACKLING BUZZ) (EXPLOSION) We must get away from here! Jenny! Jenny, come on! Who are you? Subcultural.
(SUSAN) Take it easy.
This is a time I should have my stick! I'll try and find you one.
(DOCTOR GROANS) There you are.
I think that's quite enough to start with.
I never realised that walking was so exhausting! - Is the numbness wearing off? - Yes, I think it is.
In quite a while, I might be able to travel! That's good.
David says we should join the resistance group in the north.
I don't care what he says.
I make the decisions here, and I think we should make our way back to the Tardis.
What's the good of that? We need someone to blast that rubble.
Besides, London's crawling with Daleks.
Do you question my authority, child? No, Grandfather, it's not that at all.
You seem to place more reliance on that young man's word than mine! Grandfather, it's not that! It's simply that he lives in this time.
He understands the situation.
I've been down as far as the river.
They've got patrols on every bridge.
- So what's our next move? - I don't know.
What would you suggest, sir? ME? You're the senior member of the party and I'd be grateful for your help.
Well, yes, of course, young man.
I suggest that as soon as I'm able to walk again, we should travel north.
Then we might be able to join up with the resistance party.
Mark you, it's only a suggestion.
I really should leave it to you, you know? It's a very good idea, Grandfather.
What? - I said it's a very good idea! - Yes, I think it's a very good idea.
My brother worked at the mine.
He said that if we find out what the Daleks are up to, we can beat them.
Makes sense.
He thinks that the Daleks want the magnetic core of Earth.
That's his idea, anyway.
(DALEKSUPREME) Lower ramp and disembark! - We're not still? - Yes, we've landed! They're lowering the ramp! All clear, this is it! - How do we get out of here? - The disposal chute.
Once we get outside, make for the nearest cover.
I say, what IS out there? Your guess is as good as mine! I'll go first.
I think we should get on our way.
I think we should stay a bit longer.
David looked just now and there were loads of Daleks.
Perhaps we should wait five minutes more? (TICKING) (''DOCTOR WHO'' THEME) (TICKING) Ssh! David, over there, look! It's one of their firebombs.
The Robomen must have put it there.
- (DOCTOR GROANS) - Grandfather! He's passed out! It must be the effect of those drugs.
(TICKING) (SUSAN) He's out of sight.
What about this bomb? Can you dismantle it? I don't know.
I'll try.
- What's this red mark? - An ignition point.
- So when the needle touches it - That will be it.
I'll have to take a chance.
I'm going to try and prise the front off.
David! Come on, let's run for it! Dortmun's bomb! The acid will burn its way through the casing.
It's our last chance.
- Look at the needle! - Get well back, Susan.
(TICKING CONTINUES) (SUSAN) It's burning through! (TICKING) (TICKING STOPS) You did it! Well What do we do now? That's the point.
We'll have to leave the old man here for now.
- We can't! - We must.
He can't travel.
We'll tell him to hide and you and I will find a way out of London.
We'll go through the sewers.
There's got to be a manhole cover here.
- I don't want to leave him.
- We'll come back for him.
The Daleks think this area's in flames, so he'll be safe.
- We can't! - It's the only way! (JENNY) All right.
I'll take a turn.
How's the engine look? There's oil in it and the fuel's coming through.
When we try to start it, the noise will bring every Dalek for miles.
- That's a risk we'll have to take.
- Yes, I know that.
I suppose they used this in parades and exhibitions.
Yes, most of the things at the museum are operational.
It's a pity the cars are on the upper floors.
You realise we won't get far in this? - Probably.
- No probably about it! Do you know the route to Bedfordshire? - Yes, I used to - ''Used to''? I used to live We're not very sure how much damage the Daleks have done.
You wait till you see what they've done to Bedfordshire! (DRILLING) I don't know how you'll find your brother here.
I shall have a darned good try! - What will you do if you find him? - Get him away.
He's obsessed with whatever it is the Daleks are doing.
Look! (ROBOMAN SHOUTS) Forward! Forward! (DALEK OVER TANNOY) Report Beta Section, zero, zero one.
Parade for robotisation selection at hut 30.
End.
We'd better get back under cover.
Who are you two? Aren't you on work detail? Escaped, have you? Do you know the Robomen are on the other side of this machine? (ROBOMAN) Wait! Leave the talking to me! What are these two men doing here? I took 'em off work detail to help me pick up these tools.
Which work detail? I don't know.
Over that way somewhere.
I'll take 'em back with me.
No.
They must come for selection.
Why do you wait? Pick up the implements and walk ahead of me.
You, too.
You.
Agh! In future, refer all decisions to your masters.
Oh, my head! - (ROBOMAN) What are you doing? - We can't leave him here.
Do not resist orders! Get new orders! Come on, Larry.
Let's take him in here.
(TRILLING BUZZ) I'm all right.
It was the only thing I could think of.
Good man.
Get down here.
That's taken care of him for a while.
I'll take care of this! You'll have to get out of here.
- They know when a Roboman's down.
- It breaks the radio connection.
- Try and mingle with the workers.
- What about you? I come here to meet Ashton, the black marketeer.
He gets in and OUT of the camp and smuggles in food.
- Does he? - We don't want to hang about here! Wait till I'm clear then make a break for it.
We'll meet again after dark.
That's a good idea.
I'd like to meet Ashton.
- He could help me get to London.
- London? - He's got friends there.
- You know they destroyed it? - No Daleks about that I can see.
- They thought Dortmun was alone.
- I remembered his notes.
- Why did he do it? Mainly because he wouldn't give in.
What's the point of that? To just throw his life away.
It's so senseless! It depends on how you look at it.
You've got this romantic idea about resistance! There is nothing heroic about dying! Why throw lives away just to prove a principle? If Dortmun hadn't thrown his life away, we would all be dead.
He knew exactly what he was doing.
He sacrificed himself so that we'd both have a chance.
Let's go.
(STARTER MOTOR WHINES) (ENGINE STARTS) Open the doors! (SUSAN COUGHS) This smells like an old goat farm.
- I think we can rest here.
- Good idea.
We're not likely to be found down here.
Aren't we? Look at this.
It's an old cartridge.
It can't be the Daleks, can it? They don't use guns.
Could the Robomen get down here? No I don't think so.
- Well, it must be friends, then.
- Not necessarily.
Not all human beings are automatically allies.
There are people who will kill for a few scraps of food.
- Survive at all costs.
- Yes.
Four bullets.
Of course, it's no use against the Daleks, but it will stop anyone else.
- No spares? - No.
I found this gun and that's all that was in it.
David! Do you think that Dalek saw us back there? It must have heard the noise.
- Then we're in for trouble.
- Yes, they'll radio ahead.
We may have to ditch this.
- There's a whole bunch of them! - Shall we jump for it? No! I'm going through.
- We went straight through them! - That wasn't bad, was it? I rather enjoyed that! They'll be after us with a vengeance now.
(DALEK 1) Rebels travelling in motorised vehicle have attacked and passed Dalek outer London cordon.
(DALEK2) This is saucer Alpha Major.
Am 45 miles south of mining area.
(DALEKSUPREME) Intercept rebels and destroy.
Position of rebel vehicle? Give position.
South-east eight over 376.
North, north, nine, point eight.
- (RINGING HUM) - What's that noise? - It's a saucer overhead.
- Jump for it! (DAVID ) I'm glad we ran into you down here, Tyler! We can get Grandfather now, can't we? - The Doctor, where is he? - He's at the old plague cemetery.
We're trying to find a way out of here.
You were lucky! I took you for scavengers.
- I met some but this kept them off.
- You shot at one, didn't you? - I found this.
- I wasn't shooting at a man.
- The sewers are full of alligators.
- Alligators? In the sewers? A lot of animals escaped from zoos during the plague.
- Reptiles thrive down here.
- Let's go.
What's worse, the alligators here or the Daleks up there? - Will you help collect the old man? - I'll take you.
Take the back behind Susan.
That way, we've got guns front and rear.
Barbara and Ian, do you know where they are? I'm sorry, no.
Stay here until I call you.
- Why is he so abrupt? - Tyler? He's afraid to make friends.
He's known too much killing.
Well, I hope I'm never like that, pretending not to care.
One day this will be all over.
- It will mean a new start.
- A new start? Rebuilding a planet from the very beginning.
It's a wonderful idea! You could always help.
- Yes.
- (TYLER) All clear! Go on, Susan.
I'll keep right behind you.
It's all right, it's clear.
Any idea where we are? Somewhere between Edgware and Stanmore, I should think.
We're on the road for St Alban's.
Barbara, suppose we don't find your friends at the mine? I'll think about that when we get there.
You don't have to stay with me if you don't want to.
I can get there on my own.
We might as well stay together.
All right.
Come on, then.
(GURGLING ROAR) I tell you I heard something.
A sliding noise.
- Which direction? - I thought it was round here.
What was it? Right, you can turn around and go out again! What, with that thing out there? It didn't see you come in.
- It won't see you go out.
- Are you Ashton? - How do you know? - Wells told us.
- We came looking for you.
- People always lie when they're starving! We're hungry but we're not starving.
I want to go to London.
- Why die there? - I don't intend to die anywhere.
- Can you pay? - What are you talking about? Are you one of these brotherhood of man kind of people? Is there any reason why you shouldn't take me out? - I can do it at the right price.
- What's that? Gold.
Precious metal.
Jewels.
- I don't have any of that.
- Watch out for the Slyther as you leave.
- I'm not leaving.
- (WELLS) Ashton! That's for the food.
These two are friends of mine.
You managed to bring their character references just in time! Well, chaps, I suppose we ought to have something to eat.
This bundle's mine.
It's to be shared with a lot of people and you aren't included.
I've got my own! You know all the best people, don't you? - He's our only source of food.
- What's that thing out there? - It's called a Slyther.
- What's that? Where do you come from? Fairyland? The black Dalek, the commandant of the camp, regards it as a sort of pet.
You mean it's on some sort of guard duty? In a way.
- It roams the area in search of food.
- What sort of food? People.
(GURGLING ROAR OUTSIDE) Tyler! (DAVID ) He can't have got so far ahead.
Perhaps our voices aren't carrying.
These walls could deflect the sound, I suppose.
- There's a ladder there.
- Yes.
- Let's try up there.
- All right.
There's a tunnel through here.
- Careful, Susan.
- I'm all right.
Tyler? (GASPS) Tyler? Are you down there? (DAVID ) Careful! David! Agh! David! (DAVID ) Are you all right? Yes.
Swinging (!) You'd have probably given him indigestion anyway! Come on.
I've found the Doctor.
He's waiting up here.
- Take your time.
- Where's the stick? I'll bring it.
Take your time.
Wells, you're a fool.
For all this stuff, I'd have gladly taken you outside.
There are plenty of villages that the Daleks have cleared of people and left intact.
Food galore! - I'll get out in my own good time.
- Suit yourself! You people never learn, do you? That's for the two of us.
Thanks.
I'll take it if you don't mind.
That will help pay for the next lot.
(GURGLING ROAR) (PULSATING ECHO ) (ROARING) (ASHTON SCREAMS) This way's no good.
- It's a sheer drop.
- We'll have to go back.
The Slyther! - It's coming straight for us! - (ROARING) (''DOCTOR WHO'' THEME) This way's no good.
- It's a sheer drop.
- We'll have to go back.
The Slyther! It's coming straight for us! Larry! Hold on, Larry! - All right? - Thanks! It's still coming.
I hope it can't jump.
- It's gonna try! - (GURGLING ROAR) (SLYTHER WHINES) - Let's get out of here! - No.
Hang on a minute.
Somebody might have heard us.
(DALEKSUPREME) There is no work party in shaft nine.
Why? The section is completed.
A labour force is being assembled for clearing operations.
(DALEKSUPREME) Work must proceed to schedule.
There must be no delays.
(DALEK) All will be ready.
The waste bucket in shaft nine is being lowered now.
I think it's all clear now.
Might as well take a chance.
We can't stay here.
- What's happening? - We're going down! (DOCTOR GASPS AND GROANS) Ghastly! Well, this is a nice state of affairs! We've barely covered a mile and here we are, hiding down the sewers again! It's better to hide down here than to be caught by those Robomen! - Did they see us? - Well, they're coming this way.
- How many? - Just two of them.
We'd better get under shelter.
You do realise they will have to both come down before we defend ourselves? We can take them one at a time.
The other one will bring back reinforcements! One day I'll do what you say the first time (!) Move, Tyler, move! (SUSAN) No! (FIRES GUN) (DOCTOR) Well, is everybody all right? Yes.
No! I never take life, only when my own is immediately threatened.
Let's go to this mine.
Then we shall know how to deal with these Daleks.
Leave this creature to his own devices and salvation.
You lead the way, my boy.
Come along! It's deserted, Jenny.
With the storm coming, we'd be better off inside.
Who's there? Who is it? - Agh! - What do you want? We're looking for shelter.
Just the two of you? - Tired, are you? - Yes.
Yes, we are.
Barbara, I think we should move on.
Dogs will get you.
Dogs in the forest.
Savage beasts.
After the plague, they formed a pack.
- Where are you making for? - The mine.
We have friends there.
We're trying to find them.
Nobody gets away from there.
You'll be caught! You're lucky to have got this far.
- They patrol here.
- How come you're free? - They must know you're here.
- They know all right, but we can't harm them.
Besides, we make clothes for the slave workers.
We're more use to them doing that than we would be in the mine.
How do you manage? For food, I mean.
They give us some in return for the clothes.
- We're hungry most of the time, though.
- We have some food.
You're welcome to that.
Thank you! Thank you! Get the table ready, child.
More? Have you got any more in here? Oh, yes! In return, you can sleep here for the night.
You can make your bed out of this cloth.
Come on, child, come on.
You'll be nice and comfortable there.
(WHISPERS) - I have to go out to deliver these.
- I'll have your meal ready for you.
- Go out in this weather? - What about those dogs? - She'll follow the patrols.
- I'll follow the patrols! She'll come to no harm.
She's done it often enough.
When you've done your beds, will you help me with the food? (CLANKING) - Still no sign of the bottom.
- No.
How long do you think we've been going down now? It must be nearly 20 minutes.
It's getting warmer, isn't it? Yes.
The pressure's increasing, too.
My ears are popping.
I'd rather be dead than work down here.
Not a choice I'd like to face! (GRINDING CLANK) - It's stopping! - We must be near the bottom! Yes, look! Lights! Let's get out of here, before this bucket tips up.
- It's a bit of a drop! - About twelve feet, that's all.
Lenny, are you all right? I caught my knee on the truck as I fell.
- Put your weight on me.
Stand up.
- It's no good! No? If you can't move, we'd better get under cover.
It's too light here.
We'll go over there.
Put your weight on me.
That's it.
Slowly.
I went to London once.
It seems years ago now.
Is it still the same? - They've destroyed most of it.
- Destroyed? Well, I never.
When I went, it was beautiful.
There was the moving pavements and the shops, and the astronaut fair I went to, and it was in the Chelsea Heliport.
Oh! You will follow me, both of you! Do not try to escape or you will be exterminated! Move! (LAUGHS) Bread and oranges and sugar! Good.
I knew they'd give us food if we told them.
Oh, well, she'd have been captured anyway.
- How are you feeling? - Better.
I don't think I'll be able to walk! Don't worry.
We'll stay here for a while.
(DISTANT DRILLING) You know, Larry, this mine doesn't make sense to me.
Where's all the modern machinery? The Daleks brought machinery from all over the world.
All they're shifting is rocks.
I suppose they could be processing it somewhere.
Who knows what the Daleks are up to?! My brother Phil said that all they want is the magnetic core of Earth.
Why find it in such an old-fashioned way? It's probably a clearance area.
They haven't found the main shaft yet.
You may be right at that.
Would you be all right if I went to have a look? - Yeah, sure.
- Good man.
(GROANING AND COUGHING) You'll have to move.
They're clearing this section.
- Move? Where to? - Let's join them! (GASPS WITH PAIN) Take a basket, Larry.
Halt! (LARRY) Phil! It's my brother! Ian, it's my brother! Too many in working party.
Dalek Supreme Control rechecked.
Who are you? Phil? Agh! Phil, it's Larry! Your brother, Larry.
Think, Phil! Remember me! You are both runaways.
Angela! Your wife Angela! I'll take you to her! You must both be punished.
- It's no good, Larry! - No, Ian! Get clear! Run while you've got the chance! Run, Ian.
Run! (CRACKLING GUNFIRE) Run, Ian Run (PHIL GROANS) (GASPS) Larry (WAILING ALARM) (DALEK ON TANNOY) Emergency! Emergency! Riot in shaft nine! Close all exits! Run! Get those bodies out of here! Hurry! Agh! - Some fresh fish! - David, you idiot! No, not for me.
I didn't want it! (SUSAN LAUGHS) Your grandfather stood up to the journey fantastically well.
He's a pretty fantastic sort of man.
- Just in time for food! - (DOCTOR) Yes, my dear! We were just I was just Quite! Quite! I can see something's cooking (!) - What is that? - Rabbit.
Pretty primitive.
It's the best I could do.
Hot? That's a big piece.
Would you like some? It smells delicious! - Susan's a very good cook! - Yes Now that you've seen the Dalek base, what do you think? Well, it's obvious it's the centre of their operations.
- (BOTH) Centre? - Yes.
You surprise me, Tyler.
Why didn't you concentrate your efforts here? The fact they'd started mining operations didn't seem important.
We assumed they were just digging for minerals.
I think it might be the answer to the question as to why the Daleks are here.
But why, Doctor? Surely they've invaded us? It goes much deeper than that.
Man to them is just a work machine, an insignificant specimen that is not worth invading.
Absolutely useless.
It doesn't matter to them whether you live or die.
- That's true enough! - Well, what are they digging for? At the moment, I'm not quite sure, but it's something that this planet contains.
- No other planet has it.
- If it was on the surface, they'd have collected it and gone? Quite.
Instead, they're burrowing like moles down through the crust of the Earth! That's impossible without causing a huge earthquake no one could survive! Unless they control the flow of living energy! Is that what it is? They dare to tamper with the forces of creation?! Yes, they dare, and we have got to dare to stop them! Grandfather, it's getting cold.
Look.
(ROBOMAN) Keep moving! Move! Barbara! (ROBOMAN) Fill these buckets.
Hurry! Agh! We're beaten, Barbara! We'll never get out of here.
That's no way to talk! We wanted to get to the mine and we're here! - Yes, but what can we do? - You can help me fill this basket! We could look for the main control room.
That's what the Doctor would do.
- And then what will happen? - I don't know, but we can try! If we get there and fail, they'll just send us back here.
You! Take all buckets to the clearing sections! Fine.
- I told you to get out of here! - That's easier said than done! I know that girl in the blue sweater.
Tell her I'm here! All right, but I've got to get rid of these first.
(JENNY) We'll never get near that control room! (BARBARA) I've still got Dortmun's notes! - A lot of good they are! - You don't understand! I haven't got time to explain.
Come with me! Get back to work! I have some important information.
Rebels are planning a revolution against the Daleks.
There will be no revolution.
The Daleks are masters of Earth! This is no ordinary uprising.
They have scientists, men of learning, working with them.
You are lying! It is a trick! No, I have proof of what I say! Proof? Let me see.
Details of the acid bomb used in the unprovoked attack on the London saucer landing area! There's more.
I know places where they're hiding.
Very well.
Speak! Well, it would be better if I spoke to someone in charge.
That is impossible.
Tell me your story.
But it's very complex and detailed.
You would have to act immediately on what I told you.
I must speak to someone in authority! The black Dalek will see you, but if you are lying, you will be killed! Follow me.
Continue your work.
Step into line and follow me! We're too late! The Daleks have just taken her.
Pity! There's an empty gallery behind us.
- Lose yourself there! - Right.
(DALEKSUPREME) Give me your report! The main drills have penetrated the quartz strata.
We are within four miles of the Earth's outer core.
(DALEKSUPREME) When will the final breakthrough occur? The slave parties are clearing the top of the fissure now.
(DALEKSUPREME) What remains to be done? Only to put into position the penetration explosive.
The charge is in the fissure capsule now.
When positioned, the charge will strike the fissure in the Earth's crust here.
The fissure will expand, the molten core be released! We will then control the flow until the gravitational and magnetic forces in the Earth's core are eliminated.
Excellent! I will now announce to the Dalek Earth force completion of Project Degravitate in two hours' time! (TANNOY) Attention, all units! Stand by for an announcement by the Supreme Controller! This is the Supreme Controller! Our mission to Earth is nearly completed.
We were sent here to remove the core of this planet.
Once the core is removed, we can replace it with a power system that will enable us to pilot the planet anywhere in the universe.
All that remains is to put into position the penetration explosive.
Daleks controlling device will now report.
(DALEK) We are ready.
(DALEKSUPREME) Arm the device! (DALEK) Device now armed.
(DALEKSUPREME) Set capsule in motion.
(DALEK) Hatch over control to closed position.
Motor running.
Capsule moving.
(DALEKSUPREME) As soon as the capsule is in position over the fissure, release it! (RHYTHMIC BEEPING) (''DOCTOR WHO'' THEME) (DALEKSUPREME) As soon as the capsule is in position over the fissure release it! (RHYTHMIC BEEPING) (BEEPING STOPS) (ALL) Pull! Pull! Pull! Pull! Pull! (DALEK) Capsule now arrived at substation.
(DALEKSUPREME) Ascertain extent of breakdown.
(DALEK) A man has been seen leaving capsule.
(DALEKSUPREME) Exterminate him! Exterminate him! Stay where you are! (CRACKLING BUZZ) We're near their control room.
What do you want me to do? Move! Find the main control panel.
Do as much damage as you can.
I'll keep them occupied.
Silence! You will only speak when you are ordered to do so! Dalek reports human fallen down bomb shaft.
Capsule is being repaired.
Wait here! (DALEKSUPREME) Every error must be corrected! The penetration explosive must strike the fissure correctly if we are to extract the molten core.
Have all work tasks been completed? They have.
(DALEKSUPREME) Then arrange for the extermination of all human beings! - The final solution! - Kill! Kill! (DALEKSUPREME) Alter command frequencies to oral control to all Robomen.
They are to herd humans down to the lower galleries! (DALEK) Immediately! Testing oral control.
Testing oral control.
Testing oral control.
Testing oral control.
Did you see that? That's how they control the Robomen.
- Let's put it out of action! - We could give new orders.
- Tell them to turn on the Daleks! - Great idea! They are the prisoners that reported the imminent revolt.
(DALEKSUPREME) Speak! This bomb is the one We are not interested in the bomb! Give your information! Right.
This revolt is timed to start almost immediately.
As in the case of the Indian Mutiny which India Mutiny? We are the masters of India! I was talking about Red Indians in disguise! The plan will run parallel with the Boston Tea Party.
Naturally, you know about this? (DALEKSUPREME) Wait! Why have I not been informed of this? (DALEK) There has been no information.
Good! That means the first part of the plan is a success! Now, I warn you General Lee and the Fifth Cavalry will attack from the north side of the crater.
The second wave, Hannibal's forces, will come in from the southern Alps.
(DALEKSUPREME) Mobilise defence forces! Robomen, this order cannot be countermanded.
You must (DALEKSUPREME) They are lying! Take them! (DALEK) I will arrange for their extermination! (DALEKSUPREME) No.
Secure them! They will be killed in the explosion! The countdown must proceed to schedule.
- Sorry, Jenny.
- What for? It was a marvellous attempt and it nearly worked, too.
But it didn't and we won't get a second try.
Look! That must be the bomb shaft! Have you ever seen anything like that mine, Doctor? I certainly have not.
Good! There seems to be a way down there! - I still say it's madness! - Let's have a closer look.
Yes, Doctor.
- How many bombs have you left? - I've got three, I think.
That should be enough.
You see that mast over there, and the cable behind it? I want you and Susan to walk around the lip of the crater and sever it! Use the bombs and detonate them with your revolver.
Off you go, and don't stop to pick daisies on the way! I don't think they'll have any trouble.
- What about us? - That will be harder to guarantee.
(CREAKING) (DALEKSUPREME) As soon as the repairs to the capsule are complete, the explosive device will be released into the bowels of this planet.
(JENNY) They're almost ready! (DALEKSUPREME) Attention, all Daleks! Our saucers are hovering above the mine area.
Notice to board saucers will be given shortly! I've neutralised the warning system.
Shall we go in? Doc, life's never dull with you around! Thank you, but don't call me ''Doc''.
I prefer ''Doctor''.
Do you mind? (CREAKING) (DALEK) The work on the capsule is complete.
The device is ready.
(DALEKSUPREME) Good.
We shall have one hour to leave when the device is fired.
Am firing now! (DALEKSUPREME) The explosive device is on its way to the centre of the Earth.
We shall go to the edge of the mine workings and be picked up by the saucers.
- That was a close one! - Apparently, things are on the move! They didn't bother to kill us.
The explosion will take care of that.
It's no good.
I can't move mine.
Listen.
I think the Daleks are coming back.
- Doctor! - Barbara! The magnet! Quickly! Is Chesterton with you? Never mind.
We must take action before the Daleks get back.
They've activated a bomb to blow a hole through the centre of the Earth.
They're trying to pilot the Earth out of its orbit.
The bomb will go off in 30 minutes.
If they succeed, they will upset the entire constellation! - We've got to prevent it! - How? By keeping the Daleks here.
Watch the door! Now, I wonder Can I do anything with this scanner? There's Susan! Susan and David are trying to fracture the outer cable ring.
What will that do? We might be able to immobilise the Daleks.
(TANNOY) Scanner frequencies have been changed in Central Control! (DALEKSUPREME) The prisoners must have escaped.
Deal with them! - The radio circuit's still working! - Hurry, Susan! We can only watch and wait.
We can't contact them from here.
(DALEK) Two zero reporting! (TYLER) A Dalek's coming! Will exterminate them at zero range! It's nearly here.
Thermostat reading too high! Heat increasing! Complete power loss! Complete! (STRANGLED WAIL) - You took a chance.
- A chance? Yes.
Can you stop the bomb? Not now! We don't know how long this little trick will hold the Daleks! We may have to find something else.
That thing controls the Robomen.
Maybe we could give it new orders? That's brilliant, my dear! Carry on! (STILTED VOICE) Robomen, this is your last order.
Obey it and no other.
Turn on the Daleks! Kill the Daleks! (ANGRY YELLING) (JEERING) (SHOUTING AND CHEERING) Barbara! - Doctor! - Where did you spring from? I was trying to get out of the mine.
People are fighting back! That must be where I jammed it, so that must be where it will explode.
It goes off in ten minutes! I don't think their device will succeed from that position, but it will be a gigantic explosion.
- We have to get everyone out.
- They'll be safe outside the valley.
We must all meet back on the cliff, where we were before.
Hurry up! (PULSATING BEEP) Keep right down, all of you! (COUGHING) The saucers were caught in the upward thrust of that explosion.
- Do you think any Daleks escaped? - In that, my dear? Impossible! There's something new for you, Tyler.
A volcanic eruption in England! It's unbelievable.
Yes, it's unbelievable.
It's over! Well, at least the firebombs didn't destroy everything.
It's a pity Dortmun couldn't be here, and people like him.
It's to them you must dedicate your next task, rebuilding the Earth.
I'm sure you'll make a great success of it.
You sound as if you're leaving.
(BIG BEN CHIMES UNEVENLY) Listen! (FALTERING CHIMES) It's just the beginning! Just the beginning! All alone, Susan? Hm? I was thinking.
Yes, I'm afraid we've had little time for that sort of thing lately.
- It would be nice if - I I'm sorry, Susan.
What were you going to say? Ow! My dear Susan, you're hurt! It's this shoe.
It's worn right out! It must have been that journey back from the mine.
- I shall have to mend this.
- Don't worry, Grandfather.
I'll make this look as good as new.
It's not worth it.
I've got dozens of other pairs.
I'd better clear out my cupboard.
It's in a dreadful muddle.
Yes, you little monkey.
Since you've been away from that school, you've become thoroughly disorganised! Yes, you need taking in hand.
I I think I must check up on the ship if you don't mind.
Hmm, yes I won't be long.
What are your plans, David? Me? Oh I'll join a group that work the land.
More than anything, I want to see things grow again.
I want to be a part of it.
It's a nice idea.
Do you come from the country? Yes, my family have always been associated with land.
- Where do they live? - They live a long way from here.
Well, I can't stand talking here all day.
See me before you go, David.
I will, Tyler.
Goodbye, Tyler.
Goodbye Susan Yes, David? Please stay.
Please stay here with me.
I can't stay, David.
I don't belong to this time.
I love you, Susan, and I want you to marry me.
You see, David Grandfather's old now.
He needs me.
Don't make me choose between you and him.
Please! But you told me! You said you'd never known the security of living in one place and one time.
You said it was something that you always longed for.
Well, I'm giving you that, Susan! I'm giving you a place, a time.
An identity.
No, David! Agh! (SOBS QUIETLY) I've lost my shoe.
Oh, David, I do love you.
I do! I do! Grandfather! (DOCTOR) Susan, I've double-locked the doors.
You can't get in.
Now, move back, child, where I can see you.
During all the years I've been taking care of you, you have been taking care of me.
- Grandfather, I belong with you! - Not any longer, Susan.
You're still my grandchild and always will be, but now you're a woman, too.
I want you to belong somewhere, to have roots of your own.
With David, you will be able to find those roots, and live normally like any woman should do.
Believe me, my dear, your future lies with David, not with a silly old buffer like me! One day, I shall come back.
Yes, I shall come back.
Until then, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties.
Just go forward in all your beliefs, and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine.
Goodbye, Susan.
Goodbye, my dear.
(WHOOSHING) Susan Susan He knew.
He knew you could never leave him.
