Doctor Who (1963) s05e04 Episode Script
The Tomb of the Cybermen, Part Four
(DOCTOR WHO THEME) Watch out, Doctor! Keep back! Your gun.
You've killed him, you murderer.
No.
He is fortunate.
I spared him.
- You missed him.
- Silence! I could have killed him.
- Shall I kill them now? - No, that will not be necessary.
The Cybermen will have a use for them.
You will make excellent experimental specimens.
Oh, let me help him, please! No tricks.
Still think you can bargain with the Cybermen? Certainly.
This time on our terms.
I wish to speak to the Controller.
I wish to speak to the Controller! I wish to speak to the Controller! The humanoids must first be destroyed.
You will re-enter cells to conserve energy.
He is now prepared.
Release him.
They're coming.
Now, gentlemen, you will see how I shall use the power of the Cybermen.
Use, maybe, but you'll never control the Cybermen.
- Behind you.
- Stop! You know what this can do to you.
That's better.
Now you are under my control.
We know you must be revitalised or you will perish.
If you agree to my terms I shall let you survive.
I will listen.
Make them release Toberman.
You're dafter than I thought.
Silence! Sit down.
First you release our man.
Toberman, it is good that you are back.
Watch them.
- Doctor, he seems er - Yes, Jamie, yes.
Stay where you are! Now Do you agree to accept our plan? - Plan? - The conquest of the Earth.
- What?! You must be - Silence! Your answer.
We accept.
We will give you some of our power devices.
Good.
I knew an understanding could be reached.
I shall let you be revitalised.
To survive, it must be now.
Come forward.
Slowly.
- Be careful.
- Leave this to me.
You are absolutely crazy to trust them! You think so? Then perhaps you and your colleagues had better join him.
Go on.
Go on! - The girl stays with us.
- No! She is our hostage.
Close the hatch.
Go on.
Close it! - He's too weak to get in.
- Quiet, Jamie.
You seem to be in trouble.
The energy levelsarelow.
Wewillsurvive.
You will help us.
You willhelpus Yes.
Yes, certainly.
- Jamie, Professor.
- You're not going to help them? You can't support these creatures! I think it best.
Come on.
Come along.
That's it.
Doyouunderstand themachine? Yes.
One moment.
Have you taken leave of your senses? Let's help Victoria.
In a moment, Jamie.
(DOCTOR) Are you ready? We will survive.
We will sur Now, where would you rather have him - in or out of there? Oh, I see what you mean.
Only we must make sure that he stays in there.
Do you really believe you can bargain with those terrible Cybermen? That is our concern, not yours.
I'm talking to him, not you.
They will have to agree to our plan.
What about the other weapon? What other weapon? I saw another one like that in that room.
Is that true? I don't know.
We'd better make sure.
No.
Wait.
That means that any one of them in there could Yes, you're right, Eric.
Better wait here.
If the Cyberman is aroused, we shall be ready for him.
Stay well clear.
Take no chances.
(WHIRRING) Keep back! It's smoking.
We shouldn't have touched it.
Turn it off.
It's out of control.
(NOISE DIES DOWN) It's taken over.
I think not.
There must be some sort of internal timing mechanism.
Jamie, I hope you made those ropes secure.
The King of Beasties couldnae get out of that.
Jamie, remind me to give you a lesson in tying knots.
You will remain still.
Stay here and watch that door.
At least we shall have some warning.
What do you hope to gain from this? - That does not concern you.
- They might as well know.
We are going to build a better world.
(CALLUM) Better? But who for? I told you to watch the door.
Aagh! Aagh! Toberman.
Victoria.
- You have done well.
- Toberman! Silence.
He is now under our control.
Open the tombs.
No.
You have broken your promise.
Cybermen do not promise.
Such ideas have no value.
Open.
No.
That gun will not harm me.
Aagh! Look what they've done.
You are not like them.
You're a man like us.
You must help us.
He has killed Kaftan.
You must help us.
You will report to the surface.
(UNINTELLIGIBLE NOISES) Jamie, the hatch! The gun, Jamie! There's another one! (CRASHING) Are there any more? No.
I'll close the hatch.
Wait a minute.
We'd better go down there.
- Not again! - It's the only way to make sure.
- I'll go too.
- No.
Stay and look after Victoria.
I'll take somebody else.
Toberman.
You see what these creatures have done to you? They've tried to make you like them.
Do you understand? They've tried to make you their slave.
They want to use you.
They are evil.
Think of Kaftan.
- Evil! - They must be destroyed, you see.
Evil must be destroyed.
Now, come.
Destroyed! Come on.
Come on! - Good luck.
- Thank you.
- Doctor, the gun.
- I shan't need that.
Should have taken it.
- Aagh! - Poor Mr Callum.
How are you? I can't move my arm.
Move quietly.
They're all dormant, see? Evil! No! Quietly.
They're only asleep.
They're not frozen yet.
You watch them.
I have things to do.
Now, let me see.
Yes.
The cryostat! You're freezing them! Klieg! No! You'll wake them up! That is exactly my intention.
You still don't understand, do you? Their Controller is dead.
Now I shall control them.
They will do what I say.
You see, Doctor.
Yours is the privilege to witness for the first time the union between mass power and my absolute intelligence.
Who is that? Come out.
Come out or I shall kill this man! Oh, it's you.
Go to that wall, all of you.
All of you! - Now - Yes.
As you say, such a combination between intelligence and power would make you formidable indeed.
Why, you would be Commander of the Universe with your brilliance.
The imagination reels with the possibilities.
Why, Doctor, if I'd only known you shared my imagination, you might even have worked for me.
Perhaps it's not too late.
- Doctor! - No, Jamie.
Don't you see? Don't you see what this will mean to all the people who serve Klieg - the all-powerful? No country, no person would dare to have a single thought that was not your own - Eric Klieg's own conception of the way of life! Brilliant! Yes.
Yes, you're right.
Master of the world.
Now I know you're mad.
I just wanted to make sure.
Well, we can blast off any time.
- Sh! - All right.
Hey, what gives? Where is everybody? Down there.
And so are Klieg and the Cybermen.
Well, I hope they know what they're doing.
I've been down there once and I don't reckon to go again.
That's all right, Captain.
It's comforting to know we have your superior strength to call on should we need it (!) And so you have forfeited your right to survival.
I shall make an example of you to all who question my intelligence and the supreme power of the Cybermen.
You know, I've heard this all before somewhere.
You talk too much.
You're stupid.
You still think your puny minds can survive against us? You are decadent.
Weak! Do you know that? Weak! All right.
Go ahead.
Kill us.
No.
I have a better idea, a much better idea.
I shall leave you to the Cybermen.
I'm sure they'll have some use for you.
Or parts of you! (KLIEG SCREAMS) Quick, Jamie! These two levers together.
- I can't shift this one.
- What? Trip that first.
Last time they were frozen for five centuries.
This time it must be forever.
Oh, Doctor! Here we are, Victoria, safe and sound.
Close the hatch.
There we are.
Now then.
The best thing about a machine that makes sense - you can very easily make it turn out nonsense.
- I think you'd better go outside.
- What are you going to do? I'm going to re-electrify the main doors.
Only this time I'm going to include the hatch and the control panel.
Anyone touching any of them will get a considerable shock.
A fatal one.
Now, everyone outside.
Please take him with you.
I shall be glad to see him outside.
Jamie? I'll stay with the Doctor.
Oh, all right.
There we are.
That's done.
We just have to close the main doors and the circuit is complete.
Thank goodness for that.
Doctor.
Doctor! Jamie You go that way.
I'll go this way.
That gives us more of a chance.
When I say run, run.
Run! Quickly! Stop! We'll get a shock.
We must find something to insulate.
That shoring timber.
Hurry up! Hurry up, he's coming! We must keep him inside or all our work will be wasted.
- I can't hold mine! - You must! Toberman! We must survive.
We must survive.
You are evil.
- Toberman, come away! - You'll get killed, man! They shall never pass Toberman.
The door is closed.
How terrible.
Another life gone.
(HOPPER) Come on, Professor.
Blast-off in nine minutes.
Anybody coming along for the ride? We have our own flying machine.
Flying machine? At least it works.
Aw, let's go.
Right.
Well - Goodbye, Doctor.
- Goodbye.
- I'm sorry it had to end - I know.
I know.
Goodbye.
That really is the end of the Cybermen, isn't it? Yes, Jamie.
On the other hand I never like to make predictions.
Come along.
You've killed him, you murderer.
No.
