Doctor Who (1963) s06e42 Episode Script

Stop! Take him.
No! Don't shoot.
You might hit the Doctor.
Oh, don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you.
We should have been prepared for it.
It's no good talking about what we should have done.
Zoe! Can you work that stuff and get another one of those things to arrive here? Not on your life! You call one of those things, it'll be full of guards.
-They may have sent one anyway.
-Sergeant? -You got any explosives? -Lots of dynamite, sir.
Right, we'll put some here where the thing lands.
But if you blow this place up, you'll destroy the time barrier equipment, and then their troops will be able to get in.
Yes, she's right.
But we can keep the place guarded.
You, get a machine gun.
Set it up in here.
Right, come on! That's all very well, but it's not going to get the Doctor back, is it? The prisoner is in the security room awaiting interrogation.
Good.
A very successful venture.
-Congratulations.
-Thank you.
Give it to the scientist.
He will return to the home planet -and have it mass produced.
-Very well.
The interrogation of that resistance leader might prove difficult.
Why? He is obviously a man of substantial intellect.
He will need special treatment.
Then you must see he gets it, mustn't you? I will.
Answer me! You must answer.
Admit that the War Chief sent you here.
You are both of the same race.
Your arrival here is part of a plot to betray us to the Time Lords.
Answer! You will answer me now or I will destroy your mind totally! Right, lads, now see that this place is guarded at all times.
-Machine gun set up, sir.
-Fine.
Aye, maybe now you'll do something about getting the Doctor back.
I've got more than your friend the Doctor to worry about, lad.
Now look, we can't just leave him, you know.
If there was any way of helping him, I would.
We must carry out the Doctor's plan, that's the best way we can help him.
How far did you two get with contacting the other resistance groups? Not very far, sir.
The attack on this place got in the way.
-Yeah.
-We sent out guards to contact the other resistance groups, the ones we couldn't reach.
Can you remember their names? Yes.
There's Marcus Octavius from the Roman Zone, Arturo Villar from the Mexican Civil War Zone, Ivan Petrov from the Crimean War Zone Yes, all right, all right, I believe you.
And I can remember all the locations of their camps, too.
Arturo Villar Now he's the one we've got to convince.
Arturo Villar? Well, what's so special about him? He's got one of the biggest resistance groups I know about.
Bandits most of 'em.
Right, lads, now don't fire until the door opens.
Fire! Hold it! Get back! Well, they won't try that again in a hurry.
Soldier, get him out of here.
Sergeant, get another machine gunner.
-What happened? -It's all right, panic's over.
Zoe, you'd better get a hurry with those resistance names, if you would.
-Right.
-What are you gonna do then? We've gotta round 'em all up.
Get 'em here for a meeting.
Oh, let's go then.
-Not you, Jamie.
-Eh? Someone's gotta be in charge here.
-Me? -Yes, lad, you.
Oh.
Admit it.
The War Chief sent for you.
At this volume your mind will only last for 15 minutes, Now, admit that the War Chief sent for you! Are you trying to kill him? I am trying to get the truth out of him.
You'll never make him talk that way.
You are very sure.
He is one of my own race.
Your truth machine cannot work on us if we choose to resist.
You admit it then, you do know him.
Of course I do.
And only I can deal with him.
Release him! He is my prisoner! But I am your superior.
You and I are going to talk alone.
-I have nothing to say to you.
-We shall see.
Guards take this prisoner to the war room.
You have no right to interrupt my interrogation.
Your interrogation has been completely unsuccessful.
I have methods of my own.
I want to speak to the War Lord on the top security channel.
See I am not interrupted.
You also, outside! You may have changed your appearance, but I know who you are.
-Oh, do you? -Your machine is a TARDIS.
You're too familiar with its controls to be a stranger.
I had every right to leave.
Stealing a TARDIS? Oh, I'm not criticising you.
We are two of a kind.
We most certainly are not! We were both Time Lords and we both decided to leave our race.
-I had reasons of my own.
-Just as I had.
Your reasons are only too obvious, power! How much have you learnt of our plans? I know that you've been kidnapping soldiers from the Earth from various times in its history and bringing them here to kill one another.
But do you realise our ultimate objectives? No objective can justify such slaughter! The war games on this planet are simply the means to an end.
The aliens intend to conquer the entire galaxy.
A thousand inhabited worlds.
Yes, but why choose the people of the Earth? They are the most suitable recruits for our armies.
-Man is the most vicious species of all.
-Well, that simply isn't true.
Consider their history.
For half a million years they have been systematically killing each other.
Now we can turn this savagery to some purpose.
We can bring peace to the galaxy and you can help.
You see, I'm not the cold-hearted villain you suppose me to be.
My motives are purely peaceful.
Jamie? What You don't speak, make a noise, understand? This man Russell, where is he? Who are you? Arturo Villar.
Well, why didn't you tell us you were coming? Traps are for animals to fall into.
Hey, get the man Russell and no tricks! My men surround this place.
Well, I think you might as least have a Women should never think.
For such a little woman, your mouth is too big.
Get Russell.
Jamie? -Mmm? -Has something happened? -I'll say it has.
Arturo Villar has arrived with all his bandits and they've surrounded the headquarters.
Has he now? I'll soon sort him out.
Oh, Jamie, no! They'd shoot you as soon as look at you.
Eh? I thought he was supposed to be on our side? Well, he is.
Well, I mean, he will be if we can persuade him to join us.
-Well, didn't you explain to him? -Yes, I tried, but he wouldn't listen.
He's got rather primitive ideas about women knowing their place.
Has he now? Oh, sounds like a nice chap.
Jamie, this is no laughing matter.
We've got to persuade him to stay here until Russell gets back.
Look, if he won't listen to you, then he's not going to No, not to me, but Quickly, over here, I've got an idea.
-Zoe, what are you doing? -Jamie, come on! Well, where is this Russell? He's not here.
Then I go! Wait! I think perhaps you'd better meet our other leader.
Ah? Who is this? Jamie! Our leader, James Robert McCrimmon! - Salute! -Oh, how do you do? So, you call everyone together for a meeting, huh? Why? Maybe you plan to take over my territory, huh? Oh, no, no.
No, it's nothing like that, no.
-Unity is strength.
-Unity is strength.
And when you have this strength, what do you do with it? Ah, do with it? Aye, I We attack the aliens that brought everybody here.
And we attack them all together in force! You bring all the resistance together in one place, you know what happens? We rob and kill each other.
You'll never win unless you all work together.
It's the only way.
Why you let a woman speak for you? Well, why not? Only if she's right, of course.
And I am.
We always fight in small groups, far apart.
That's why they don't catch us.
Aye, and that's why you're getting nowhere! We are free men.
We do anything we want to.
You are hunted fugitives and they'll pick you off one by one unless you join with us.
It's the only way you'll ever get home.
Home! No one can get away from this place.
Oh, but you can! -How? The same way you all came here.
But first we've got to defeat the people that run everything.
They have a stronghold.
I have heard.
It is impossible to get in there.
Well, we have been there and if we can get a big enough army together, I can take you all there.
All right.
I stay for this meeting.
But then we see.
We have soldiers from most of the major wars in the planet Earth.
The First World War, the war between Russia and Japan of 1905, the Thirty Years' War But why make them kill each other? How else can we find the most disciplined and courageous fighters? You have given these aliens our science and our knowledge to carry out this disgusting plan.
We are going to bring a new order to the galaxy, -one united galactic empire! -An empire of slaves, with you as one of its rulers! Doctor, this is also a matter of your own survival.
Unless I can convince the War Lord that you will help us.
-What is the prisoner doing here? -I am interrogating him.
You interrogate without guards? I know this man.
He is a fugitive from the Time Lords.
-As you are.
-That's right, as I am.
-Did you bring him here? -No, he arrived by chance.
-Did the Time Lords send you? -No.
-Have you informed them? -He dare not.
That would betray him.
He has allied himself with the resistance and organised them against us.
He must die! No! He has agreed to help us destroy the resistance.
He will cooperate.
He has no alternative.
He should be killed now.
We cannot trust him.
If he helps us destroy the resistance.
If.
-His life will be spared.
War Lord I have decided! I hold you responsible for the success of the plan.
Failure will mean death to both of you.
-I never promised to help you.
-But you will.
You have no alternative.
And help people like that to conquer the galaxy? Not people like that, people like us.
I intend to take over as supreme galactic ruler.
You can help me to rule, if you will cooperate.
I tell you it's crazy.
It'll never work.
We don't know till we've tried it.
We've never had all the resistance groups together before.
You bring everyone together in one place, you know what happens? The enemy will go pow! We are all killed! What he says makes sense.
Alone, we annoy them a little, together, we wipe them out.
That's exactly what the Doctor says.
Look, we must get together a large body of men.
Armed, disciplined.
And then, and only then, -can we strike at their headquarters.
-How do we get there? We use one of their own space-time machines.
Ah, these little boxes you talk about, holding thousands of men.
Fairy stories! I have seen one.
I have seen soldiers come out of them, whole regiments.
You see Senor Villar? We're not talking nonsense.
These magic boxes, where do we get one? They have certain landing points in each time zone.
That room over there, that's one of them.
How you get the whole army in here? The place is surrounded.
It's hard enough for one man at a time to get in.
Yes, quite right.
We must use one of the other places.
Well, what about that American barn where we met Mr Russell? -Yes, that's, uh, that's here.
-Is that all right for everybody? Khorosho! I know that place.
Much forest, easy to hide men.
Well, we're agreed then.
You all gather your groups here and we make a concerted attack on the enemy.
And what if he make a concerted attack on us? Oh, he's going to be far too busy to do that.
Failure of communications unit in Roman Zone.
Send technicians to repair.
And send a guard! Right.
Good, good! Right, carry on.
That's the first one, Roman Zone.
Control unit's been completely destroyed.
-Good.
-I wonder if it'll work? Oh, it'll work all right.
Next one's due in the Crimean War Zone.
It's due about now.
Another communications failure.
Crimean War Zone.
Send a squad of guards! -Hello.
Russell.
-Good! -Excellent.
-Yes, thank you very much.
I see.
Roman Zone.
A technician and guard have arrived.
-So that's the Roman Zone then.
-Technician and guard? -That's only two men.
-They're not really worried yet.
They are now, just sent a squad of guards to the Crimean War Zone.
Oh good! That's more like it.
By the time we've finished with them, there won't be a guard left in the place.
Good! -Jamie, Boer War Zone.
Boer -English Civil War Zone.
Yes, fine.
Peninsular War Zone, they've sent 10 guards there.
Right, well that seems to be about it.
Right, time for phase two.
Villar should be at the barn by now.
-Carry on, Sergeant.
-Sir.
Okay, we'll leave one by one and spread out.
No, not yet! Now we wait.
It is a clear pattern, simultaneous attacks in all Time Zones.
And you've sent guards to every attack? There are now very few left to send.
That's exactly what they wanted.
Have any of the guards returned? No.
-So you've left the base weakened -for a possible mass attack.
-Is that true? I know where their attack is coming from.
A communications unit was activated in the American Civil War Zone.
And how do you propose to deal with them, with your guards scattered all over the War Zones? The neutron bomb.
That would wipe out the processed humans.
We would have to evacuate the planet.
The resistance army must be crushed once and for all.
So we shall use the neutron bomb.
No, we shall attempt to be rather more subtle than that, which will give you an ideal opportunity to prove your loyalty and save your life.
Are all the resistance groups here, Sergeant? -Yes, sir.
They are hidden in the woods.
So here we all are, in one place, a nice, big target.
Don't worry, it won't be for long.
Soon as we smash that thing, they'll send one of their machines and we'll take it.
Right, stand back.
Wait a minute! Zoe? Oh, Doctor, where are you, are you all right? Is Mr Russell there? Aye, all the resistance leaders are with us.
Oh good, now there's no time to be lost.
I think I can send you one of their space-time machines.
I've I've managed to gain control of their transportation system.
We've got a whole army here, Doctor, we could take over the entire base.
Oh, no, no, all I need is a party of picked men.
There's quite a lot to organise.
I have to talk to the leaders.
Doctor, would it not be better if you brought a gang with you? Jamie, please don't argue! I will send the transportation now.
I don't like this.
It could be a trap.
Don't panic! There's nothing to worry about.
Everybody take cover, just in case there are some guards.
It's all right.
It's empty.
Right, now one of us must stay here to look after those men.
-Petrov, it'd better be you.
-All right, you are boss.
Mine is the biggest group.
I should stay here in charge.
Why? You scared of going in that thing? Arturo Villar is afraid of nothing.
Right.
In you go then.
I shall lead the way.
-Carstairs.
-Doctor.
-Zoe.
-Oh, Doctor! -Jamie.
Yes, yes.
-Are you all right? Everything is under control.
Now, now listen, everyone.
Just follow me.
We're going to take over the war room.
Stand still, don't move! You are completely surrounded.
-Doctor! -Thank you, Doctor.
A nice, neat, little package for us to dispose of.
