Doctor Who (1963) s11e12 Episode Script

The Earth creatures are to be exterminated.
Fire at my command! Wait a minute! Wait - you can't! Total extermination - fire, fire, fire! Maximum power! Fire! Fire! Fire! Weaponry malfunction.
Total power failure in armament circuits.
Well, well, well! Daleks without the power to kill! How does it feel? Keep away! Keep away! And if I don't - what will you do? Your weapons are totally useless, affected by the same energy blackout that has stranded us.
The power failure is temporary.
Superior Dalek technology will overcome interference shortly.
Meanwhile, you will obey our orders.
You're not in a position to give any orders.
Nono, we're all in this together - all equal, all powerless.
The Daleks are the supreme beings of the universe.
- Dalek technology is the - Spare us the propaganda! I think our best interests will be served by joining forces.
Daleks do not require the co-operation of inferior creatures! Think about it - there are four of you and five of us, and this planet is swarming with creatures that want to destroy us.
That's a fact that must penetrate even Dalek arrogance.
We will confer.
They may agree with your plan, Captain, but I advise you - don't trust them.
- We need all the help we can get.
- That's true.
We don't need the Daleks.
There's nothing they can do that we can't do on our ownsir.
They're brilliant technicians.
It was their genius that made them one of the greatest powers in the universe.
Quite.
They might find a way out of this spot.
My father was killed in the last Dalek war, sir.
I hate the thought of working with them.
He was one man.
Ten million will die if we don't get off the planet with the medical supplies.
Whatever they're gonna do, I hope they decide quickly.
What do you think, Dan? About this idea - cooperating with Daleks.
- It might work for the while.
- I think the Captain's gone soft.
Oh, he's scared of the wee salt-shakers! I saw his face when they came out of that ship.
Ah, the spokesman's coming back Well, what did they say? I think they'll go for it.
Mind you, they haven't much choice, but I must warn you again - don't you trust them an inch.
Did you manage to find out what they're doing here? Yes, several of the planets the Daleks have colonised are suffering from the same disease.
They're dying in millions.
Now they need that chemical just as badly as you do.
That's why I think they'll cooperate.
It is agreed.
We will cooperate until they are no further use to us.
And the true reason that we need the chemical parrinium must remain secret.
It is understood.
They must continue to believe there are only four of us.
It is understood.
Well, have you decided? Yes, Doctor.
The truce exists between our party and yours.
A very wise decision.
The truce ends when power is restored.
We agree.
And now I think we should all go over to the mining dome.
Mining dome? We've located a parrinium strata, and set up a dome nearby where we can refine the ore.
But it's pretty slow work without power.
You can suggest some quicker technique? Very well.
Lead the way - lead! Lead! Take cover! Locate the enemy! Locate the enemy! Locate! Locate! Help me with him! Help me! Oh, it's no good, he is dead.
We can't help him.
But please! We can't leave him here! Quick, come on! Out, come on! Come on, down here! - Which way did they come from? - I don't know.
Down! Our only chance is that it's a small group then we might make a break for it.
I'm next in seniority to the Captain.
That puts me in command.
Just a suggestion, that's all.
Alright, Commander, give an order to get us out of this.
Over there! So it was a large group! Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate! Am losing control! Am loo am loo What's going on over there? They've got Commander Stewart.
Give yourselves up.
That settles it for me Jill? - Yes.
- What about you, Doctor? Certainly when the only alternative to living is dying.
Alright, come on.
Let's get it over with.
Patrol captured by alien beings.
One Dalek destroyed.
We will report.
Sarah! What are you doing with her?! She has defiled the place of our gods.
She is to be sacrificed.
Is the Doctor alright? I think so.
He's coming round but are you okay? Er, they made me inhale erm, some sort of incense.
What happened? I'm not too sure myself, but neither of you is very popular.
The Doctor attacked their high priest.
That's about the worst crime you can commit on this planet.
Crazy - he must be crazy.
He's blown any chance we ever had a making a deal with these savages.
We hadn't much choice, Dan.
A couple of minutes more, that girl would've been dead.
- So? - Look, we're all in this together.
It could have been me or you.
Do you expect everybody else to stand by and let it happen? The point is it wasn't us.
We have no loyalties to them.
They're not part of our mission.
So you'll let them die - just like that? I would so.
Our job is to get medical relief that'll save the lives of millions.
If some unknown people have to die in the process, well that's just too bad! We have decided the action we will take.
We will offer the Exxilons our knowledge and technology in return for their assistance.
Well, anything's worth a try.
What about those two? Do you think they'll agree to let them go? The Doctor is an old enemy of the Daleks.
The girl is unimportant.
Guard! I will speak with the high priest.
I don't know what they're up to, but I don't like it.
I have a feeling It might be better if you did not associate yourself too closely with us.
I think we're the flies in a jar of very nasty ointment.
What do you think will happen? I'm afraid that what they had planned for you has merely been postponed.
I think they'll be two of us in the next performance.
The high priest will speak with you.
They may be trying to negotiate a way for all of us to get out of this.
No, that's pure wishful thinking, Jill.
The Daleks won't give us any loyalty and I don't expect too much help from your space chums either.
Target model destroyed.
Substitute weaponry functioning satisfactorily.
We will proceed immediately.
Primitive weapons moderately efficient.
- We've got to do something! - Don't interfere.
We've got think of ourselves now and what we came here to do.
It is agreed.
The Exxilons will discuss terms when the sacrifices are completed.
You will follow and observe.
Galloway Gayou're not fit to command I'm doing what's necessary, sir.
I'll get that chemical to the peoples of the outer worlds whatever it costs.
Ahnot for them, Galloway.
Ffor yourself.
Yyou're a glory seeker.
This may be the last order that I can give but I'm appointing Hamilton as.
.
You can't do that.
It's already done.
It's an order.
PePeter'll take command.
I'm sorry, Commander couldn't quite hear what you said.
Come on - jump! Jump! Stay there.
The Daleks don't seem to be following us.
Er, those robot things? Are they locals? Hardly.
They're the most technically advanced and ruthless life form in the galaxy.
But if they're robots, how is it their power's not affected? They can't half move! Because they're only half-robot.
Inside each of those shells is a living, bubbling lump of hate! - You mean they've got legs? - No, they move by psychokinetic power.
- I see.
- Do you? - No! All resistance has ceased.
I will speak with the high priest.
Bring him to me.
I obey.
What do you want to speak to him about? We require the cooperation of the Exxilons.
But now they will do so on our terms.
And if they don't agree? We will select groups of hostages for extermination until they do.
Aye, that should bring them around to our way of thinking.
Firstly, we'd make them supply working parties to mine the parrinium Your advice is not required! Now wait a minute - we agreed.
We're working together.
We are in command! You will obey our orders! Doctor! We were just playing the main part in a sacrificial ceremony, weren't we? That seemed to be the general idea, yes.
How are they going to sacrifice us.
.
just by dumping us down here? I knew that thought would occur to you sooner or later.
- You've got an idea, haven't you? - Yes.
And it's not one of my favourites.
In fact I don't care for it at all.
Well you might as well share it! Very well.
I think they expect that sacrifice to be completed by something else something that lives down this tunnel.
Next time you get an idea, keep it to yourself, will you? It is agreed.
You will accompany us.
What's happening? It'spractically all agreed.
We've done a deal with the Exxilons.
We? They'll provide a working force to help us find the parrinium.
We'll be in charge of that with two of the Daleks.
And the other Daleks? They'll investigate the cause of the electrical interference.
And what are the Exxilons getting in return? - Oh, not much.
- Well tell us? The Exxilons have only one enemy - a sort of breakaway group.
Well, we've agreed to help wipe them out.
You've what?! In return we get the parrinium we need.
We'll save millions of lives.
And murder others? You can't accept those terms.
The creatures on this planet are primitives - they don't count What else have you agreed? Aye, wellthis is the bit you're not going to like.
I haven't liked any of it so far.
That fellow they call "the Doctor" and the girl they have to be brought back - dead or alive.
You're totally ruthless, aren't you, Galloway? The Daleks have gone down the tunnel after them.
just in case the creatures that live down there don'tget them first.
That sounded awfully close.
Yes, some sort of subterranean wind effect, I should think.
Who are you kidding? I just heard your wind effect gnashing its teeth.
Well, which way now? I'll make a short reconnaissance down this tunnel here - alone.
Alone? Sarah, I don't want anything creeping down behind me and blocking off my retreat.
With you here on watch you can give me a warning.
Well who's gonna warn me? You're in a perfectly safe place here.
You've got three different ways to run.
Oh! I think I'll just go down it for about half a mile.
If it holds any promise, I'll be right back - alright? Suppose so.
- Good luck, Doctor.
- Thank you.
Somebody there?
