Doctor Who (1963) s08e25 Episode Script

Atanee Bmaltlttiladahy ram! No! Stop it! It’s evil - don’t you see that? It’s evil! You are too late, my dear! Eko, eko, Azal! Eko, eko, Azal! Azal! The last appearance, that’s what the Doctor said.
Well, I’m working as fast as I can.
Well, it doesn’t seem to be fast enough.
You have five minutes, sergeant.
Right - we’re on our way in five minutes! The third appearance.
In the cavern.
Well where else? Well, we’d better get over there, hasn’t we? Wait - all of you! See? This chap’s frightened! Well, of course I’m frightened.
So should you be - and your friend Mr.
Magister.
Azal, welcome! Bok, stop them! You are very wise, Captain.
Prepare the girl in the ceremonial tabard.
She will make a welcome addition to this sabbat.
No, please! Don’t let me go! Mike, help me please! No, let me go! Now we’re facing the greatest danger the world has ever known.
Now look, I’ve got to tell you the truth.
Doctor, no! I’ve got to risk it! What are you talking about? I’m not a magician or a wizard or anything of the sort.
See! I told you! But neither is the Master.
I’ve tricked you - yes, but only to save you from him.
To save your own life, you mean.
Yes, of course, that too.
Wha? Well, there you are! Do you hear, the lot of you? He admits it! Just pipe down for two minutes, Bert.
But you heard him! Shut up! We want to hear what he’s got to say.
But your car - how did you make it move by itself? Science - not sorcery, Miss Hawthorne.
Look.
That’s amazing! I’ll be blowed! And your Mr.
Magister uses no more magic than that.
You’re talking rubbish! The Master’s a magician I tell you! All his feats are based on science.
Either ours or the secret science of the Dæmons.
Well, there you are! That proves you’re talking nonsense - how could he have called him up in the first place except by sorcery? Well, he uses violent emotions - fear, hatred, greed.
How? Well the emotions of a group of ordinary human beings generate a tremendous charge of psychokinetic energy.
This the Master channels for his own purpose.
But that is magic - that’s precisely what black magic is! No, Miss Hawthorne, I’m afraid not.
Are you trying to tell me that the invocations, the the rituals, even the sabbat itself are just so much window dressing? No, no, no, of course not.
No, they are essential to generate and control the physonic forces - and to control the Dæmon himself.
Look, shouldn’t we get over there and sort this Dæmon thing out? How? Well, I could get the men Yes? Well, we could Exactly - all we can do is wait.
Well, what for? The energy exchanger.
This machine that the Brigadier is building for me.
With that I should be able to drain off our visitor’s energy.
Then perhaps we can sort him out! Azal, the time for decision draws near.
Once more, I demand the power You demand?! Yes, and why not? Who in the whole galaxy is not my inferior? There is not one creature! Not even one?! Not one! Save the last of the Dæmons.
No, please, let me go! Azal, accept this offering as a token of our fealty.
As my will, so mote it be! As they will, so mote it be! Eo evoheh, Azal! Eo evoheh! Eo evoheh! Eo Doctor! Doctor! Hold him.
Doctor! Doctor, it’s Jo! Jo? I thought she was still in the pub? They’ve got her in the cavern.
What?! That creature’s in there.
The Master calls him Azal.
Azal? Of course - Azael, the fallen angel! Walkie-talkie.
Hello, Brigadier? Are you there? Is that you, Doctor? Over.
Look, they’ve got Jo.
That machine must come through now! Now, do you understand?! Now! We’re on our way, Doctor.
Good, and put a watch up on that barrow, will you? Just in case the Dæmon’s ship reactivates.
Will do, Doctor.
Over and out.
You heard him, Sergeant - now.
I need That’s an order, Sergeant - now! Come on, Brigadier.
Get a move on.
I’m sorry, Miss Grant.
But you are to be sacrificed to a noble cause.
No no! It’ll never take it, I tell you! It must! Keep trying.
Right, now some of you - that way, but spread out.
The rest of you, follow me! Mr.
Magister - they’re coming, they’re coming! Doctor, help! Right, Benton.
You keep us covered.
We’ll get in round the back.
No, we must wait for the Brigadier.
And what about Jo? We won’t help her by committing suicide.
Mr.
Magister! Magister! N no, no, a friend I’m a friend! You see? What’s going on, Brigadier? You must hurry! We’re up to the maximum now Doctor, and it’s still no good.
You’ll have to use the booster.
If you do, sir, she’ll blow us all sky high! We’re coming through, Doctor, over and out.
Booster on! Sir Damn it, man, get on with it! All mighty Azal, in the name of Atame, I dedicate this offering! No, no, Magister, it’s not right! To do my will shall be the whole of the law! To do thy will, shall be the whole of the law.
It’s not right, I tell you! Obey me! Look, it’s working! Right, it’s still hot - but passable.
Right, follow up and keep to the tunnel! Obey me.
Look, what’s going on, Brigadier? We’re through, Doctor, over.
What, all of you? Yes, but not the machine.
Well that should have come through first.
Doctor, look! The exchanger - it’s working.
It’s bleeding off the energy.
Come on, man! Bring it through! Get a move on! Sir! Right, Jenkins.
You can stop worrying, Doctor - we’re through.
Well, about time too.
Now get it over here fast! Right.
Sir! Sir, I can’t stop it - it’s running away! Osgood, out of it! Get down, all of you! Osgood, get down man! Brigadier? Brigadier, are you all right? The machine’s gone west - blown itself up.
Be with you right away, over and out.
A fat lot of good that’ll do! Right, keep the others back, Captain Yates, I’m going in before that creature recovers.
I’ll come with you, Doctor.
Alone! You can’t go in now, sir.
You said yourself it will be suicide! Doctor, wait! Ah, Doctor, I’ve been expecting you.
You’ve saved me a lot of trouble by coming here.
I’m most grateful to you.
Hello, Jo.
I cannot tell you how glad I am to see you.
How very touching! Where’s the Doctor? Gone in there, sir.
Then what are we waiting for? Let’s get after him.
Wait sir, look.
What the blazes is that? Some kind of ornament? Not exactly, sir.
Watch.
Yes, I see what you mean.
Never mind, we’ll soon fix him.
Jenkins! Sir? Chap with the wings there - five rounds rapid.
You realise, of course, that you’re a doomed man, Doctor? Oh, I’m a dead man.
I knew that as soon as I came through that door, so you’d better watch out! You see, I’ve nothing to lose, have I? Enough! Azal, destroy him! Who is this?! My enemy and yours, Azal.
Destroy him! This is the one we spoke of! He too is not of this planet! He is a meddler and a fool.
He is not a fool, yet he has done a foolish thing coming here! Why did you come?! I came to talk to you.
Talk then! Certainly But first let her go.
No! Doctor! Are you all right, Jo? I am now.
You wish to talk?! Yes I want you to leave this planet while you still can.
You are bold! Why not? I’ve got a machine outside that can annihilate you.
You lie! You’ve already felt its power.
It is destroyed! One of them, yes, not both.
You lie! There was but one! Doctor! You have a regard for truth! Why do you lie?! To try and make you listen to me.
Why should I! I see no consequence of value! Then kill him, kill him now! Very well! No! If you kill me now, you will wonder throughout eternity whether you should have listened to my words.
You might as well use a peashooter on four inch armour.
Sergeant, get the bazooka’s set up - over there, quick.
Right sir.
Right, you with me.
Well? You waste time.
I order you to kill him, Azal! I demand - I do not obey! But I I called you here and you came? I answered your call because the time was come for my awakening! The time has come for the completion of the experiment or its destruction! Then fulfill your mission by granting the ultimate power to me! Who else is there strong enough to give these humans the leadership they need?! I seem to remember somebody else speaking like that.
What was the bounder’s name? Hitler - that’s right, Adolf Hitler - or was it Genghis Khan? Azal, I have the will - you yourself said so.
I am still not convinced! I’m very pleased to hear it.
You wish to see this planet destroyed?! By no means.
You see, I have an alternative.
State it! Leave humanity alone.
Just go.
You’ve done enough harm.
We gave knowledge to man! You certainly did! Thanks to you man can now blow up the world and he probably will.
He can poison the water and the very air he breathes.
He’s already started - he can Enough! Is man such a failure then?! Shall I destroy him?! No! A strong leader can force him to learn! You are right! I have decided! I shall pass on my power! Oh, mighty Azal - I thank you! But not to you! To him! No! No, I don’t want it! Fire! Well done, sergeant.
Just a minute, sir - look! You refuse my gift?! Of course I do! Don’t you understand? I want you to leave.
I want you to go away and give man a chance to grow up.
I cannot! My instructions are precise! I bequeath my power or I destroy all! Then you will give your power to me?! I shall! Time is short! What about him? He is not rational.
He is disruptive! He must be eliminated! No! No, he’s a good man! Kill me, not him! This action does not relate! There is no data! It does not relate! Goooo! Leave meee! All of youuuuu! Cease firing! Run for it, Brigadier! Get up.
Don’t try anything! What happened in there, Doctor? Well, by a ridiculous and foolhardy act of self-sacrifice, Jo here has managed to save us.
I did? You did.
You see, Azal couldn’t face an act as irrational and as illogical as her being prepared to give up her life me.
Look Jo, why don’t you go and get out of that ridiculous garb? Okay.
So what happened? Well, all his power was turned against himself.
You might say he blew a fuse! Greyhound two, come in please, over.
Chalmers here at the dig, sir.
Are you all right, over? Couldn’t be better.
What’s happening? Big bang at the dig, sir.
The spaceship - automatic self-destruct, I suppose.
And the barriers cleared itself, over.
Good show.
We’re coming out now with one prisoner.
Over and out.
Benton, get ready to move out.
Yes sir.
Right, you lot, you heard the man - the picnic’s over! Stop firing - you’ll damage Bessie! Do you want him to get away? Don’t worry, Bessie’ll bring him back.
How on earth did you do that? Simple - if you know how.
Right Benton, get ‘em moved out.
And take him with you - maximum security guard.
Yes sir.
Right - get moving! And look after him! I want to deal with him later.
Do you, Doctor? You always were an optimist, weren’t you? Thank you for the compliment! All right, move.
Listen To what? Yes, the birds are singing again.
Oh, and smell the flowers! Yes, well it makes a change from the smell of sulphur, doesn’t it? The May Day miracle has happened again - the Earth is born anew! All under way, sir.
Sergeant, we must do the fertility dance to celebrate! Oh no, I’m sorry, ma’am.
I’m still rather busy at Oh, nonsense, Sergeant - come along! Come on, Doctor! Fancy a dance, Brigadier? It’s kind of you, Captain Yates.
I think I’d rather have a pint! You’re right, Jo - there is magic in the world after all!
