Doctor Who (1963) s06e28 Episode Script

JAMIE! ZOE! Oh, no! Let me in! Zoe! Open the door! Zoe! Jamie! Let me in! Open the door! Jamie! Zoe! Jamie! Zoe! Are you in there, Jamie? Jamie! Open the door! Hey! Zoe! Jamie! If you're there, let me in! Oh, no! Jamie! Zoe! Open this door! Oh, my word! Where are we going? Oh, my word! Oh, that was a dangerous situation! There's an Ice Warrior in the building! What?! What about Jamie? He drew the Warrior off so that I could let you in.
- We must help him! - This way! - Oh, Doctor! - Jamie! - Where's the Ice Warrior? - I locked him in that room.
He hasn't stayed in there.
Come on! - We could hide in here.
- We'd just be trapped again! No, this might be just the place.
Solar Energy Room.
So that's a radiation door.
Now, if I can find the control Wait a minute.
Is that the one? No, Jamie! - It must be one of these! - Hurry! There we are! It's got "shut" on it! - He's trying to blast his way in! - It should hold for a while.
- What do we do now? - Well, Radnor's sending some guards.
A lot of good they'll do against an Ice Warrior Solar energy! Phipps made a trap! Solar energy, reflectors! Of course! We can build something here.
Be quick! That shield thing won't hold much longer! Is this the sort of thing that Phipps rigged up, Zoe? Sort of.
His was bigger.
They don't stand a chance! - Are you ready, Doctor? - Yes, yes.
- Are you sure that thing works? - Let's try it.
Open the door.
It's gone! It must be chasing after those guards.
Another moment and we could have destroyed him! There's some more cable.
You reel it out and I'll make the connections.
- What, this? - Yes, Jamie.
Hurry up.
Stand by to throw the switch.
Jamie, give me enough cable.
Now, Zoe! All right, Zoe! No information yet available from Weather Control Bureau.
I'm going to get over there.
T-Mat Control! Commander Radnor! - This is the Doctor.
- Are you all right? What's happening? We've had quite a battle, but things are fine now.
A Warrior was here but we've dealt with him.
- Excellent! Is there much damage? - I'm afraid so.
How are you getting on with the signal in the satellite? - The others are doing it now.
- Good.
I'll be back as soon as I can.
- How's it going? - We're ready to test.
Play back recording of homing beam.
That's the Ice Warriors' homing beam.
Let's see if I can produce that exactly.
- Can't you get any closer than that? - I shall, don't worry.
- That's it! - I'll lock it to that frequency.
Now that you've perfected this, how will you get it to the launching pad? I found a petrol car in a motor museum.
- Really? What make? - I've no idea, but it's got four wheels and it goes.
Get this to the vehicle immediately.
Will the car be able to get through the foam? I've arranged for a route to be cleared by hosing the foam.
The only way we'll get rid of it permanently is by lots of rain! It's hopeless! You'll never get that thing going again! It's only the controls that are damaged.
The workings are all right.
If we can bypass the controls Have you got your knife on you? Lend it me, will you? Thank you.
There we are.
Now, what have we got here? Ah, yes Yes, yes.
Yes, well, it's just a question of sorting this lot out.
You should not have killed him.
Who will operate T-Mat? - I have studied the controls.
- What if the apparatus breaks down? I shall send Warriors to Earth to bring back technicians.
Soon, all humans on Earth will be extinct.
It will take time for the fungus to remove the oxygen from their atmosphere.
You must use that time to obtain another human, and do not kill again! No, Grand Marshal.
You will be prepared to activate the homing beam on our signal? All is prepared, Grand Marshal.
I shall return to our ship to finalise invasion plans.
Right, now then, Zoe, let's see what happens when we try to connect these two.
No, I don't think so somehow! What about these two? Ah! That's better! I think I've succeeded in re-establishing one of these rain circuits, Jamie.
Well, it's not raining yet! Oh, Jamie! Weather Control is a very difficult technology.
You can't expect immediate results.
- Are you sure you're getting it right? - I hope so.
There's another little job to do.
- You've enough to do already! - What else is there? I want to make alterations to my solar energy device.
Lift-off in five seconds from now.
Five four three two one zero.
We should have some nice heavy rain before long! - Ah, there we are! - Yes, the satellite.
A beautiful sight! We installed the homing device.
It's perfect.
I know we're sending up a false signal, but some of the ships might follow the right one.
There isn't going to be a right one, only ours, which will lead the entire Martian fleet into an orbit round the sun! - What about Slaar's signal? - That has to be stopped.
I shall T-Mat myself to the moon and destroy their homing device.
- They'll kill you on sight! - I don't think so.
- I rigged up an interesting device.
- What's it for? It's a development of the solar energy device that you used on the moon.
Mine's portable with a solar battery.
There it is.
It's in orbit.
We're picking up the aliens' homing signal from the moon.
Their invasion fleet is getting closer.
As soon as I have destroyed their signal, you must activate our signal in the satellite.
- We'll be ready.
- Then I'll be off.
- Doctor, be careful, won't you? - Don't worry, Zoe, I will.
- Ready, Miss Kelly? - Our control of T-Mat hasn't been tested! Then now's the time to test it! No.
You .
.
over there.
I ordered you to be destroyed! Well, you weren't very successful, were you? Destroy that weapon! What is your purpose in coming here? You don't expect me to tell you that, do you? The directional beam is still operative.
Yes.
I'm afraid you were a little too quick for me.
Are you capable of operating the T-Mat mechanism? Oh, no.
I don't think I Well, yes, perhaps I could get the hang of it.
As long as you can be useful to us, you can live, but this time, there will be no escape.
You will familiarise yourself with the T-Mat controls.
Oh, thank you very much! You will not touch the controls until I give the order.
- It's operating perfectly! - We didn't wait for the Doctor.
The moon signal has disappeared, hasn't it? That may be atmospheric.
They may be transmitting as strongly as ever.
The moon signal was strong enough.
- He must have succeeded.
- Then why hasn't he come back? We are receiving your homing signal clearly.
Soon we shall enter the gravitational field of the moon.
All is prepared, Grand Marshal.
I have obtained the services of another human.
He will T-Mat our Warriors to Earth.
Good! I shall resume transmission when landing is imminent.
When our Warriors arrive, you will transmit them to Earth under my direction.
They haven't arrived yet.
Something still might go wrong.
- Nothing can go wrong! - There's many a slip 'twixt cup and lip.
If anything does go wrong, you will be the first to die.
Scan closer! If they are going to divert, it should happen any moment now! They're changing course! I think you're right! They're all following the satellite signal! The Doctor succeeded! He turned off the Martians' signal.
What's happening, then? Why hasn't he come back? Security guards armed with flame throwers are on their way.
- We'll T-Mat them to the moon.
- They'll be too late! - You'll just have to be patient! - I'm sick of being patient! Zoe.
That T-Mat thing, do you know how it works? - I think so.
Why? - Could you T-Mat me to the moon? The Doctor's all right and we've no reason to worry or he's in danger and he needs my help! Slaar! We are passing between Earth and moon! The signal has not led us into the moon's gravitational field! Have you lost my signal? Your signal is being received clearly but we're off course.
Are you sure your calculations are correct? Our calculations have been checked.
You have sent us into an orbit close to the sun! Use your retro-active rockets to change course! It is too late.
We have insufficient fuel for manoeuvre! You have failed us, Slaar! We shall all die! We're being pulled into the orbit of the sun! This is impossible! The signal! There is no power! You did this! Yes.
That signal has been going no further than this control room.
But they were receiving my signal! Not your signal - ours.
You sent a signal .
.
from Earth? We sent up a satellite.
That signal has sent your fleet into a false orbit! The heat of the sun will kill them! You have destroyed our entire fleet! You tried to destroy an entire world.
Earth will still die! The fungus will take the oxygen from your atmosphere! I'm afraid you've failed there, too.
We can destroy the fungus.
Kill him! DOCTOR! Jamie! Look out! Creag an tuire! Jamie! The light terminal! Well done, Jamie! Oh, goodness me! Jamie, thank you very much! Now then, we must T-Mat ourselves back to Earth.
Widespread rainfall throughout the country.
Some flooding but none serious.
Fungus rapidly disappearing.
Weather Control Bureau coming back into operation.
World food shortages partially relieved, now T-Mats are becoming operational again.
Message to Commander Radnor from the Security Council of the United Nations - congratulations.
So you DID know what you were doing at the Weather Control Bureau! Zoe, of course I did.
Well, it took long enough to work! Well, the fungus has gone.
Now we need to get T-Mat fully operational again.
We must check the equipment and build in safeguards.
T-Mat must be entirely controlled from Earth.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket! T-Mat is perfectly effective! You need a fleet of rockets on permanent stand by! - There's no need to go to such lengths.
- It's common sense! I'm sure the Doctor will agree with me! Doctor You didn't have to make it rain as hard as all that! Oh, Jamie, you're never satisfied! - What did you rush us back for? - Oh, explanations are difficult.
Where are we going now? He's no more idea than the man in the moon! I heard that, Jamie! Come on!
