Doctor Who (1963) s02e25 Episode Script

The only pleasure left for you is death.
And death is very far away.
Such a prize as you is worth rewarding these men for your recapture.
Would you not agree? I have spent time and trouble on you now you cost me gold as well.
I'm not afraid of you.
No? Yet, you run away.
Is that not fear? Fear has nothing to do with contempt.
Or disgust.
You are not here to like or dislike me.
Such liberties are over for you.
Look at these coins mere pieces of metal.
No interest? You should have.
These coins are going to change your laughter into tears your joy to misery! - Leave that! After her, you fools! - The gold is mine! Dogs! Do you hear me, alert the palace! What do you want in here? Are you both drunk? Or mad? I'll have your hands and feet for this! No man steps into this room but me.
Now you find her, or your death will be slow.
- A prisoner has escaped.
- No one has stepped in here, my lord.
No man would dare except your guards just now.
The prisoner is a woman, and I want her found! We have seen no one.
Look a ruby ring for anyone who should see her and report it to me.
Hafsa, run to the doors and let your ears warn us.
We will hide you here.
We all hate him.
- Thank you.
- You will be safe.
No one here will betray you.
You want a little drink of water? Take me to Lydda.
I will give you money.
I will fetch you money.
You will tell me where I can find it.
I won't tell you anything until you undo these ropes! It is a predicament.
You are a rich lord, I can see from the things you wear.
But you will not share your wealth with poor, poor Ibrahim.
I am not rich--I keep telling you! Take me to Lydda and you will be rewarded.
I am cursed with the affliction of disbelief.
But I have another little scheme! A little pot of honey.
Made from pounded dates and very, very sweet.
There, my lord.
A little bit on your wrists and a little bit on your chest.
Now over there is a hungry home, full of ants that go wild for date honey.
We must be generous to them.
Lay a little trail across the sand, like this And I will sit in the shade of the trees and dream of all the treasures I will get when the ants discover you.
If you crane your neck around, my lord, you will soon see what you take to be a black line along the honey.
Why, you will be able to see it getting closer and closer! Weeooh, weeooh! My little ones! Such ecstasy! It is not true and you know it isn't! But what is true is that you came here in disguise-- first a boy and now you are a girl! He was just trying to protect me! Protect you from the lord, the King? Oooooh! Where is the Princess? She knew all about this! - What is the meaning of this? - He's had me brought here-- I wish to question her.
You call yourself a nobleman, sir? Yet it appears you enjoy bullying young girls, hmm? We're not the guilty ones here, and don't look away when I'm talking to you.
You, sir, hmm! I have the right to civility from you.
What are you, knave or commoner? Or are you perhaps a traitor? - You! It was you who told the Princess! - Ah! I'll have no more of this! No more will we.
Your Majesty.
I didn't realize you were there, Sire.
Good Leicester, this question time has reached its full conclusion.
Go to your men, find out their quarrels and complaints, and mend them with the best words at your command.
They understand a fight, my lord.
Then warn them one approaches.
Sire, I will.
I'll turn them from a rabble into victors once again, and we shall set a noise of sharpening and polishing 'til the ground fare trembles with sound of axe and sword against the whetstone, and the sun shall find a glittering home in every visor.
Yes, do it.
We know now that it was not you who told our sister.
It's no use, Joanna is right.
We cannot fight Rome as well.
In any other land I could command the end and force my purpose.
Not here not with Saphadin and Joanna.
No.
Once again we shall have to fight.
May I ask you something, Sire? f you knew it was the Earl of Leicester that gave your marriage plans away to your sister, why didn't you accuse him have it out with him then and there? You just let it go without saying a word.
It wasn't fair.
I'm sorry, your Majesty.
We accept the impeachment.
We are unjust to you, to serve the greater good.
You see, my Lord of Leicester is a hardy fighter nd a fight is near us now.
When we meet the Saracen again, we shall need him at our elbow.
But do not be discouraged.
You have our favor.
But I have made an enemy of him, Sire.
Yes, I fear you have.
Therefore, it would be best to be gone from here - until the enmity is forgotten.
- I think I agree, Sire.
Must we go? I don't want to.
Good! And we do not wish to see you leave.
But you must.
Go to Acre.
Rest there.
Wait until we call again upon your wisdom and your counsel.
We shall leave at once, Sire.
Meantime, I'll wrestle with the problem of this war.
There is something important, Sire.
If you are able to defeat Saladin in this battle, can you hold the city, hmmm? Win the battle, lose the war.
The greatest fear we have.
We've come so close.
I must see Jerusalem.
I must.
- I must.
- You will, Sire.
You think so? I am certain, Sire.
And when you look upon the city itself, you will be able to find the answer to the problem of this war.
May we now take our leave, Sire? Are we going back to the ship? As fast as our legs can carry us, my dear.
- Doctor, will he really see Jerusalem? - Only from afar.
He won't be able to capture it.
Even now his armies are marching on a campaign that he can never win.
That's terrible.
Can't we tell him? I'm afraid not, my dear.
No.
History must take its course.
Help me, Holy Sepulchre.
Help me! You see, my master? The line of black is getting nearer and nearer.
Date honey is a great delicacy for our little friends.
And I will return to the shade and leave you to your little friends.
You have only to call! Don't be upset, please.
My tears are tears of joy.
All this time I believed that my father and sister were dead.
El Akir had swore that they were.
He has a lot to answer for.
Now I know why he told me they were dead.
By keeping me here, he brought shame upon my family and, at first, I tried to kill myself to spare my father's honor.
But when I believed him dead, I did not even have the will to die.
Listen, Maimuna, your father loves you.
All he thinks about is getting you away from this place.
- Is that really true? - Yes.
He told me so.
I thought he had despised me.
He hates El Akir.
He wants to kill him and take you home.
There is no escape from this place.
But we will hide you.
El Akir is a stupid animal.
He will not think to search for you here.
You observed them leave the palace? Aye, just now my lord.
Take men and follow them discreetly.
The old man tried to poison the King's mind.
He may be in the pay of the infidel Saladin.
He may be worse.
Some devil in a human form, the girl a witch.
A witch, my lord? Take courage, man.
No black art withstands a well-placed sword.
You see, my lord.
They know when death is approaching.
Already there's the advanced guard has reached its little objective.
Alright I'll tell you First! First! First! I have gold Where? Speak up! Speak up! - My boot! - Boot! You are lying.
There is nothing there! The other boot! Now where is Lydda? How far is it because you're going to take me there! Not far walking distance.
I live there myself I-I'll show you, I'll take you.
Do not kill me, lord walking distance Walking?! Where's my horse? My brother took it.
A miserable thief.
Have you heard anything? No.
They must be somewhere else in the palace.
Have a rest, now Hafsa.
Let one of the others listen.
The corridor outside where does it lead? To the balcony.
It overlooks the garden.
How far up from the ground? - There is a tree, but-- - Can you reach it from the balcony? There are guards below.
How far are the entrance gates from the tree? Not far.
But there is no escape that way.
The guards watch it constantly.
I'll show you from the window.
She cannot get out! Go and look again! You? Who gave you permission? - My lord - What is this insolence? You said a ruby ring, my lord Where is she? He's dead.
Errr Why do you steal his sword? I'm going inside.
El Akir has a friend of mine.
I've got to find her.
El Akir will kill you.
He's a very, very bad man.
He's not the only one around here.
But why do you say he's a bad man? He has made the rich people so poor so there is no one left to steal from.
you rid the world of him, you will be remembered as a saviour.
I shall not betray you.
Oh, well in that case, perhaps you can do something for me.
Anything, my lord, anything, anything.
On second thoughts, it might be a little difficult for you.
I wonder, do you think you could manage to, uh, steal some horses for me? Now you are truly, truly my brother.
While you keep El Akir occupied, I will steal the horses from his stables.
Good.
You can always trust Ibrahim.
Fatima has betrayed us.
You must get away.
You will die if you stay here! You hid her from me! Leave her alone! Now I shall show you how I deal with those who do not obey me! Father Oh, father.
I believed you were dead.
There is great joy in my heart at seeing you.
But come now.
Your sister Sophia awaits you.
- Is Sophia alright? - Yes.
She told me of your sacrifice.
- I came here to give my life for you, my lady.
- How did you get in here? - Barbara! - Get back--the guard! Quickly! Make haste we must not stay here! Barbara, quickly! No! No! No! No-- You see? I was right, my lord.
You did have gold.
I acquired it! - Like I acquired the horses.
- Yes Now you are my truly, truly brother.
- Ian, we must get back to the ship! - Yes, alright.
Farewell, Ibrahim.
Don't go acquiring too many things.
Ride well, my brother.
May Allah go with you.
Really! Such talent! He has such an honest face.
We could have made a fortune! We must not stand here dreaming, you half-wit! The soldiers will be around us! - This half-wit has stolen all their horses! - They can still use their legs, can't they? They're between us and the ship.
- These the soldiers who followed us? - Yes, they are.
I wonder what they're up to, hmm? - Can we go round? - No, there's too many of them.
Perhaps we can t--try-- - no, we can't do that.
- Why not? What's happening? Now I know why we've been followed, hmm.
Your messenger arrived.
So they are traitors and making toward Saladin's encampment.
So it seemed to me, my lord.
Armed, as they are, with secrets, they are dangerous enemies.
- Do you have the wood encircled? - Yes.
They can't get away.
The shadows are the only friends they have.
We'll find them at daybreak.
It's that meddling fool, Leicester.
We've got to try and slip through them, but remember: not a sound not a sound.
In you go.
Take your hands off me, sir!! What are you doing?? Unhand me!! - How dare you!!?? - They've caught him - they've caught him.
- Vicki, it's alright.
We'll get him away.
But how? What can we do? So, I thought you'd show yourself.
What is the meaning of this, sir? The King gave me leave to go.
To Saladin? You are right, my lord.
His treachery is well-paid by Saladin.
He is a Saracen spy.
The truth at last! But I do not know you, sir.
I am Sir Ian, my lord, Knight of Jaffa.
I know this villain's treachery and hearing that you were looking for him, I followed you.
- To watch his execution? - No, my lord.
To administer it.
It is a paltry matter to be rid of him, but I would do it.
It is no paltry matter to me, my lord.
Some friends of mind were ambushed here de Marun, de Tornebu.
He's to blame.
My lord, I beg of you, let me finish him.
Yours is the greater claim.
Dispatch him then, and quickly.
Heh-heh, gentlemen, since I am to depart so punctiliously, I would ask you to grant me one last wish.
Granted.
Thank you.
I would like to look once more upon the city of Jaffa and then you may do what you will with me.
Granted.
Thank you, my lord.
My lord.
- Doctor, hurry! - What about that performance?? Doctor, open the door! Do you hear a voice? - A voice? - A woman's voice.
Have we been tricked? We will not speak of this.
Let this story die here in this wood or we'll be branded idiots or liars.
Poor Sir Ian, brave fellow.
Spirited away by fiends.
What dreadful anguish and despair he must be suffering now.
Any more cracks about knighthood, and I'll carry out that execution! Well, my dear boy, I must say I think you've earned a good knight's sleep! Now, I suppose, the TARDIS will materialize when it's ready.
- Yes, and uh, where it likes.
- Oh my dear young woman, why don't you go have a cup of tea or something.
- What's happening? - I don't know.
Hmm!
