Doctor Who (1963) s02e33 Episode Script
Journey into Terror (The Chase, Part Four)
But surely we've got our twelve-minute lead still? I'm afraid not.
It's down to eight.
It will be reduced even further after our next landing.
We must face the facts; the Daleks are closing in on us.
I'm not wild about this place.
I don't know ideal place to fight Daleks you know good stout walls an upper storey, stairs Daleks don't like stairs.
Probably vampires, if you ask me.
Oh, charming! Oh, rubbish my child.
Vampire bats are only to be found in South America.
Maybe that's where we are? No, I don't think so.
Judging by the, er, architecture, I should say, er, Central Europe Well, I'm with Barbara.
I don't like it here, I think we should go.
Yes, in the normal, er progress of time, m my dear I would say, er, ye I would agree with you but, erm, unfortunately we've got to face the Daleks and I think it's essential we take a look around.
Let's try upstairs, hmm Well, you go if you want to, but I'm staying near the TARDIS.
Me too.
Oh, very well, stay where you are.
We shan't be long.
Shan't be long.
Well Vicki, there's there's really nothing to be scared of This is just an old house, it we mustn't let our imaginations run away with us.
No, you're quite right.
We we mustn't behave like children.
No, we mustn't, now come on, let's, erm let's help the Doctor and look around down here.
Erm, how about the fireplace? Look at that.
What do you suppose is inside it? Oh! What was that? Oh, it's just thunder, dear boy.
No, no, no, the noise before that.
Oh, rubbish, there was no noise before that! Come along, come along.
What have you found now? Well, it looks it looks like a laboratory to me.
Look at all that equipment down there, hmm? Doctor, I think we'd better check on Barbara and Vicki.
Oh nonsense, we've only just left them, dear boy, hmm? Now, I must see what's on that table.
Must you? I'd really rather not know.
You don't mean that, do you? Where's your spirit of adventure, mm? It died a slow and painful death when those bats came out of the rafters.
Very well then, stay where you are! Mmm? Stay where you are! I say, I think we'd better check where Vicki and Barbara is! What's that in aid of? And what's that in aid of? And therefore never send to know, for whom the bell tolls.
It tolls for thee! I feel as though my hair's turned white! It has as a matter of fact.
It's all right though.
It quite suits you.
Oh Vicki! Good evening.
Good evening! Who are you? I am Count Dracula! But you can't be, I mean, not not really! He's gone.
Thank goodness for that anyway.
Vicki do do you think there's something strange going on around here? Oh no! T What Why did he go away so quickly? Well, I can't seem to open it from this side.
Vicki, do you supp Vicki? Vicki, where are you? Oh! Oh, there's one thing about this place, Doctor; it certainly stimulates the phagocytes.
Hmm.
Hmm? The phago? You know, it's it's uncanny, strange and weird, but it is familiar! Yes, that's the word, dear boy, familiar! You know when I was coming down those stairs I knew that thing was going to move, hmm? I knew it! Oh, did you? I didn't notice you standing around to check your premonition.
I never stay where I'm not wanted.
Come along.
Huh! Pre-conditioned - that's it! Pre-conditioned! What are you talking about? This house is exactly what you would expect in a nightmare! Yes, we're in a world of dreams creaking doors, thunder and lightning, monsters and all the things that go bumpety bumpety in the night! Hmm? With one vital difference, Doctor.
This house is real.
It exists.
Yes yes, it exists - in the dark recesses of the human minds.
Millions of people secretly believing! Think of the immense power of all these people combined together, makes this place become a reality, hmm? Then we're safe! Safe? What on earth do you mean, dear boy? But the Daleks can't touch us here? Not in the human mind? You know I believe you're right.
Yes! The Daleks can never land here! Ha ha! Woah! The girls have gone.
Vicki! Barb Perhaps they followed us upstairs, hmm? The enemy time machine is here.
We have caught them.
Which planet are we on.
Earth.
They only changed their geographical and time location.
This time they will not elude us.
Already the search force is disembarking.
Search.
I shall remain here in case they return.
Where are those girls, Doctor? Well we would have seen them if they were upstairs.
Hadn't we better take another look down there? Had we? Afraid so.
Well, er, after you, dear boy! Mmm.
No, after you! Wait for me.
Shh! Someone's coming.
Well, take cover! Where are the time travellers? The time travellers? They're Do not move! The TARDIS! Quick! Do not move! I am a Dalek! We are invincible! Stop! Stop! Oh, there you are! Well where have you both been, eh? We climbed through a secret tunnel straight down There's no time to tell us now.
The Daleks are here.
Daleks! Look out! Halt! You will be exterminated! Good evening! Quick! Into the TARDIS while we've still got a chance! Look out, he'll kill you! You'll be killed! I am Count Dracula.
Eradicate her! Obliterate.
I am Count Dracula.
Don't go.
Don't go.
Don't go.
Don't go.
Don't go.
Don't go.
Don't go.
Don't go.
Don't go.
Embark at once! At once! Yes! Embark! Embark! At once! Embark! Embark! Embark! Embark! This game of hide and seek through time is wearing a little thin now.
Game? What an extraordinary place, eh? More spooks in a square mile than the Tower of London.
Yeah You know that theory of yours Theory, my dear boy? Fact - I am convinced that that house was neither time nor space.
We were lodged for a period in an area of human thought.
And were the Daleks lodging too? Oh, I don't want to enter into it Oh, no, no, no! A discussion with him! Oh! Have it your own way.
I think there's a much simpler explanation.
Well, how's this box of tricks coming along, Doctor? Oh, necessarily crude, dear boy.
I haven't time to perf to perfect anything.
Oh, when's it going to be operational, eh? You know just as much about that as I do.
Oh Doctor, we can't go on like this, can we? We've given them the slip once or twice but sooner or later we're going to have to settle with them.
Oh, I quite agree with you.
Running away won't solve our problem.
But as soon as we've reached the final decision to stand and fight, they'll be no turning back.
It'll either be them or us.
Hmm? Here we are.
Oh, my dear, very welcome.
Woah, thanks.
Where's Vicki? But I thought she was with you? We are locked in pursuit course.
Calculate destination of enemy time machine.
Report.
The enemy is approaching the planet Mechanus.
Contact Skaro.
Report our destination to the Dalek Supreme.
I obey.
Is the reproducer repaired? We await your orders.
Manufacture will commence at once.
Which of the four humans is to be re-produced? Their leader - the one they call Doctor.
.
Is the re-producer programmed? All is in readiness.
Photo images and relevant data are in the computer.
The humanoid will be completed by the time we arrive at our destination.
Excellent.
Commence operations, then assemble at cell renovator chamber.
We obey! Of course TARDIS, hello.
TARDIS? Come in please.
Over.
Hello, TARDIS.
Doctor? Somebody, please help me.
Get me out of this.
TARDIS! TARDIS! It's my fault.
All my own stupid fault.
I shouldn't have moved the TARDIS.
I have should have checked up first to make sure that everybody was inside.
I shall never forgive myself! Oh, no Doctor, don't blame yourself.
We're all equally to blame.
I was convinced she was on-board.
Isn't there anything we can do? Is there no way of going back for Vicki.
You don't think I'd be standing here doing nothing do you, if there were, hmm? We're helpless and you of all people should know that the TARDIS can't land in the same time and place twice! Doctor, shut up! We've never stayed long enough in any one place to repair the time mechanism of the TARDIS.
If we did, is there a chance of going back for Vicki? Yes, of course, it's possible but it might take months, even years.
But Doctor, if we all worked together, if if Ian and I helped you, surely it's worth a try? Yes, my dear, I know it's worth a try but you don't think the Daleks are going to sit back and allow us to tinker do you? They're right on our tracks.
Their one aim is to destroy.
The Dalek time machine! Of course! Doctor, I've got it.
We can't go back for Vicki in the TARDIS but we can in the Daleks own time machine.
Do you mean capture their machine? Why not? Well, that would take some doing.
It's the only chance we've got otherwise we'll never see Vicki again.
If we can only pull it off.
Doctor, we have nothing to lose and now we have even more reason to stop and fight.
What do you say, Doctor? I say yes, yes, yes! Our next landing will be our battle ground and we shall fight.
We shall fight to the death! TARDIS? Somebody hear me.
TARDIS! TARDIS! Report position of enemy machine.
It's movement through time is ending.
It is approaching the planet Mechanus.
How long before we reach them? in earth time, four minutes.
There is much to do.
Is the humanoid robot complete? The computer is feeding its memory cells with data.
Physical characteristics are completed.
Energy cells fully charged.
Micro-units containing personality and vocal mannerisms are charged.
Prepare to activate.
Activate the robot.
Ah, looks swampy.
Yes, all to the good, my boy.
This sort of terrain is going to make it very difficult for the Daleks.
Yes.
Well, we won't have long to explore, Doctor before the Daleks arrive so lets get moving.
Yes, you are perfectly correct, perfectly correct.
However, it doesn't matter about the appearances.
It's quite safe to go outside.
Good.
Just look at that vegetation.
Yes.
Just as though it were alive.
Alive! Yes! Success! Paramount success! It is impossible to distinguish from the original.
We have landed on the planet Mechanus.
Operate ramp control.
Activate robot power source.
Your orders are understood? You will infiltrate and kill.
Infiltrate and kill! Understand? Of course I understand, my dear fellow.
Don't fuss so! I am to infiltrate and kill infiltrate and kill!
It's down to eight.
It will be reduced even further after our next landing.
