Doctor Who (1963) s11e20 Episode Script

-The directional co-ordinates are here.
-Something's burning.
Doctor, look! It appears that the Doctor is indeed alive.
But Sskel has him trapped in the refinery.
Help me.
Hurry, Doctor! There's a whole crowd of them out there now.
They'll be through any minute, Doctor! Right, keep your fingers crossed, here goes.
It worked! -You've done it, Doctor! They've gone.
-Congratulations, Doctor.
-They've all gone.
-Right.
We've got a chance to win now.
Gebek, get back to the mines and rally your men.
Oh, I can try, Doctor, but many of them have been killed.
They think Aggedor's turned against them.
Well, we'll have to make them think differently, won't we? -Well, how? -My dear chap, it's perfectly simple.
Now, all we have to do is to arrange a time and a place between us in advance.
Then get all your men together -Commander Azaxyr.
-Ah, Sskel.
Your Majesty, the Doctor has been destroyed.
No, he is still in the refinery.
Alive? What happened? He used Aggedor as a weapon against us.
I shall send more Ice Warriors.
We cannot approach the area.
The heat from the monster will destroy us.
Don't worry, Commander.
I'll get him out for you.
I built that refinery.
It's got one or two tricks the Doctor doesn't know about.
-Come on.
-Guard them.
How can we fight on, Gebek? Aggedor's turned against us.
-No, you are mistaken.
-He has slain us! He drove us into the guns of Azaxyr's warriors! Yes.
Yes.
-That was trickery by our enemies.
Aggedor fights for us.
Protects the people of Peladon as he has always done.
-You don't believe me? No.
Then I will show you.
Now, watch.
Well, I hope Gebek's timing's right.
Just about Now, I think.
Well, Gebek? Why do we wait? -Have patience.
Have patience! Come on.
Look.
Do not be afraid.
Aggedor will not harm us.
He destroys only our enemies.
-Now, lads, will you fight? Yes! -All right! -Yes, yes! Looks pretty nasty, doesn't it? Don't worry.
My warriors will soon destroy those primitives.
Not while those primitives have got Aggedor working for them.
Time for a word with the Doctor, I think.
Well, how did you know where to send it? There are preset coordinates for almost everywhere Eckersley has worked it out very well.
Thanks for the compliment, Doctor.
-He must be in the communications room.
-That's right.
You can't see me but I can see you.
Ah.
Then you must know that I'm in complete control of Aggedor.
So, may I suggest that you give yourself up straight away.
No, I admire you, Doctor, I really do.
But you're the one who's gonna have to give himself up.
-What's he talking about? -Ah, he's just bluffing.
Oh, no, I'm not.
Remember my little security system? It works inside as well as out.
Now, that's just the lowest level, Doctor.
Surrender now, or I'll step it up.
Sarah, get out of here straight away.
Warn Gebek, they're probably waiting for him.
-I'll try to help out with Aggedor.
-Well, you can't mean to stay in here? Oh, this sort of nonsense doesn't worry me, you know that.
-No, I can't leave you in here! -Sarah, please, go! Oh! He won't be able to stand very much more of that.
He'll surrender soon, or collapse.
Excellent.
I shall go and prepare my warriors for the attack.
Well, Doctor? Escape with the girl while you've still got a chance.
And don't try sending Aggedor up here.
The communication room is shielded.
Sorry, old chap.
I can't stop and talk now.
I'm rather busy.
Obstinate devil.
This way.
Now do you believe that Aggedor is with us? Come on! The Doctor is still using Aggedor -to attack in the mines.
-I know.
My warriors are being destroyed.
You must stop him.
This is your last chance, Doctor.
Surrender now or I'll step it up to maximum.
Your brain will be totally destroyed.
He is still resisting.
It won't be long now.
He'll keel over any minute.
Commander, the miners are almost at the citadel.
Keep up the pressure, Eckersley.
I shall prepare an ambush.
There.
There.
Now, do you all you understand? First we make sure that the Queen is safe, then we capture the aliens.
-And remember, Aggedor is with us.
Right.
Come.
Destroy them.
Back! Back! Come on! Aggedor fights for us! On! On to throne room.
Come on! Turn it off! -You wouldn't use that.
-Wouldn't I? Turn that alarm off.
Okay.
Okay.
It's served its purpose anyway.
The Doctor's dead.
-I don't believe you.
-Well, have a look.
I had a nice, little scheme going until you two arrived.
I ought to Turn round.
Put your hands up.
Open this door.
Let me out! Engineer Eckersley! Gebek has given orders for your capture.
Get out of my way.
-No, you are my prisoner.
-Sorry, chum.
Too much to do.
Surrender, Gebek.
Tell your men to lay down their arms, or the Queen will die.
Very sensible, Gebek.
It seems we had no choice, Commander.
-Kill him.
-Okay.
Now, that's enough.
Are you harmed, Your Majesty? No, Gebek.
-Ambassador? -Your Majesty? I think you should try to contact the Federation as soon as possible to inform them of our situation.
At once, Your Majesty.
Sarah! I wondered where you'd got to.
Good news! The Ice Warriors are defeated and Azaxyr is dead.
Fine.
-What's wrong? -Eckersley killed the Doctor.
-What? Are you sure? Take a look.
I'm going down there.
I find it hard to believe that Eckersley could do something so wicked.
He had nothing to lose, Your Majesty, and he is totally ruthless.
We must not forget that he is still at liberty.
All right, Your Majesty, you're coming with me.
Eckersley! What is the purpose of this outrage? I've got a space shuttle hidden on the other side of the mountain.
Her Majesty here is gonna be my safe conduct.
I shall summon assistance.
Help! Guards! Stay there, Your Majesty.
Don't move.
Yes.
We'll go this way.
Come on.
Tears? Well, anyone would think you thought I was dead.
Well, of course I did.
You looked dead.
Well, even I couldn't stand the row from Eckersley's patent alarm system any longer.
So I put myself into a complete sensory withdrawal.
What? Well, a sort of trance.
I shut myself off.
You did it on purpose? You mean, I had all that worry for nothing? Well, don't sound so aggrieved.
Anybody would think you preferred me dead.
Come on, let's go and find the others.
Alpha Centauri! Well, what happened? Where is the Queen? This way, Your Majesty.
Come on! Doctor! Thank goodness you've come.
Eckersley has kidnapped the Queen.
What? Come on! -Come on.
-No! How well does Eckersley know these tunnels? He made a most thorough survey when he first arrived.
It won't be easy to find him, Doctor.
The mountain's riddled with these tunnels.
Even the miners don't know them all.
He must have quite a start on us, too.
We could search for days and never find them.
Yeah, well, don't worry.
I think I know a way we can track him down.
Come on, quickly! Go on.
Come on.
Look.
Look what you've done! Never mind.
No! We're trapped.
We've come clear through the mountain.
My spaceship is just on the other side.
Well, then go.
We'll be well rid of you! I still need you for a hostage.
Come on.
Don't move, Eckersley! -So that's how you found me.
-Oh, yes.
Aggedor may be getting on a bit but he can still sniff out a trail.
I'm sorry, old chap, but it's all over.
No.
Unless you want a new ruler on Peladon, you'll stand still.
Get him! Help me! Help me.
Help me, Doctor! Once again, Peladon owes you a great debt, Doctor, just as in my father's time.
But this time, I hope that you'll stay long enough for us to show our gratitude.
Yes, well, as a matter of fact, Your Majesty, I I shall want your help and your advice, Doctor.
Oh, Your Majesty, you stood up to Ortron and to Azaxyr and the Ice Warriors, you don't need anyone's help.
I shall be needing a new chancellor.
I had hoped that you might stay.
Well, I know just the man, Your Majesty, Gebek.
We have the greatest admiration for Gebek, but he has no title.
He's only a miner.
There's nothing "only" about being a miner, Your Majesty, any more than there was about being a girl.
It's the man that counts, Your Majesty.
You can always give him a title.
It seems that all I can give you is my thanks.
Well, I shall always be grateful for the honour, Your Majesty.
But I'm quite certain that Gebek is the right man.
-Your Majesty? Ambassador.
I have just heard from Federation HQ.
The war is over.
Once Eckersley and Azaxyr's scheme had failed, Galaxy Five became most anxious to negotiate a peace treaty.
Well, that's splendid news, splendid! Excuse me, Your Majesty.
Doctor, that blue box you were asking about.
-Yes? -We've found it.
In the third gallery off the main cavern.
Thank you, Gebek.
Thank you very much.
I'll go and check on it straight away.
-With Your Majesty's permission? -Of course, Doctor.
Goodbye, Doctor.
-Gebek.
-Your Majesty? You're sure you don't want to stay and take the job, Doctor? Civil service post with a pension.
In you get, Sarah.
I think it's time I took you home.
I mean, I'd hate to stand in the way of your career.
In you go!
