Doctor Who (1963) s18e07 Episode Script

So that's what ***** burning.
I do beg your pardon.
Mistress? Mistress? Respond negative.
Batteries require re-charge.
Return to the City She's seen too much.
Kill her! Who is she? ***** here? She's not a Tigellan.
Where are you from? I told you.
You wouldn't understand.
Try me! Let me go and I'll tell you.
Oh, thank you.
My ship landed here by mistake.
Let's just kill her.
Meglos won't like I'm running this not Meglos.
What ship? A ship that I can find it.
Move! Arrrg! I need we wait inside.
We saw the Doctor leave and when we came in here, the Dodecahedron was gone! How long was he in here? ***** hardly any time.
It's inconceivable.
There's no way but I know, single-handed live in optical that an object like could what? The Dodecahedron, of course.
What it's the light? Oh yes, We knew its size, shape and colour, and when it was up there we could monitor the energy output.
But what did we really know about it? Over the years we've formed theories that have works.
Source of our energy.
The heart of our civilisation, a device we've become totally dependent upon and all we *****, have is a few vague theories.
Yes and all because of these Deons.
When the Doctor *****.
- Come, quickly.
- *****.
Central Control to Deedrix.
Central Control to Deedrix.
Power drain reaching critical.
Critical? The whole City will collapse.
How **** time I ***** the Chamber? We should be on the surface.
Yes, yes, I know.
Come on, I’ll need you too.
It's a spacecraft.
You're leading us round in circles.
Essential services only.
Close down all other sections.
I'm reducing lighting, cutting thermostat temperature to minimum.
That giving us? About two hours, but hurry.
What will complet disappeared? Evaporated? What do you do? Well, I remember, the Dodecahedron was much too large to move.
Can you see you've paralysed our City? - I'm so sorry.
- Answer me.
What happened to the Dodecahedron? I keep telling you, I don't know.
I've only just arrived.
I saw you.
- Doctor? - Yes.
Whatever reasons you have for doing this, the fact remains that without the Dodecahedron's energy in two hours time this City will be dead.
In two hours You saw me? You saw me? *****.
Give me one good reason why I shouldn't kill you now.
- Anti-clockwise rotation.
- What? I forgot that the planet rotates in an anti-clockwise direction.
What's she talking about? It's a question of relative rotational direction.
What difference does it make? Don't you see? If we'd gone the other way we wouldn't keep coming back to this same point! Ah, no.
I'll give you one last chance.
And you'd better get it right.
Move! I need you, Earthling.
Let go me.
You've no right *****.
*****.
Even if this girl exists, her will prove nothing Will you not even admit took the Deon oath, and entered the Power Room? I think I see the problem.
I'll seal off the City.
We'll search every area.
No, no, no no.
Wait, wait, wait.
There are three possibilities.
One, the chronic hysteresis.
I've never been in one before and it might have projected a time image of me.
It's theoretically possible, I think.
You have to you better lying, Doctor.
I think you are a fraud and a liar.
But that makes even less sense! Who? Why? I simply don't do that sort of thing! And the third possibility? I think what we've got here is a good old-fashioned doppelgänger.
I'll deal with this, you go on to section four food-bays and close the ray-lamps.
Ice forming in sub-corridors.
I can't keep even the essential services running faster.
We'll have to evacuate.
One moment.
I want to trust you, Doctor, but it's hard to doubt my own eyes.
Well, that's the problem with doppelgängers, you see never know who's who! Confine him.
He must not be permitted down Room again.
No, Lexa.
Very well Doctor, this time you we will go to the Power Room together.
Right, let's hope our many hands will make the light work.
No, Zastor.
There is another way! Why do you out of the City, Doctor? Precisely because I am not the Doctor! - Then who are you? - I am Meglos, the last Zolfa-Thuran.
- The dead planet? - Yes! But why should that make me obey you? Because *****.
But that's impossible! Yes.
The ultimate impossibility! I do not in anger, Believers.
Though we have cause for anger, we will act in justice.
The rest come with me.
The rest of you, nothing, and till I give the word! How much more of this, General? Just look at this jacket.
*****.
How much longer ***** this? I don't know.
It's extremly hard to navigate on a planet that rotates anti-clockwise.
I'm pretty certain it's this way, or is it that way? No, no, no, no.
It's definitely, this way! *****.
*****.
Follow ask.
*****.
Assuming some such process as baryon multiplication.
We always assumed it would be heavy.
Heavy? At an atomic weight of around two hundred, not even a dozen of your Tigellans could have carried the thing away.
So where is it? There is no question about where it this.
It been taken back by the god.
What is this, Lexa? We are taking command.
In order to pacify the god, all non believers will be collected and exiled to the surface.
- But no one can survive up there - Take them away.
No.
You still need my help.
You know I have been a Believer all my life.
Faith dwells in the deed, Zastor, not the word.
He's an old man, Lexa.
The plants will kill him.
How bad are these plants? Automactly? Lethal.
*** Ah, in this case on stay here, I got a friend to the surface No, Doctor.
You are going to bring back to the Dodecahedron.
Well, I'd be delighted to help in the ordinary way No, Doctor.
Not *****.
No *****.
Prepare him for sacrifice.
Wait.
We said we'd wait for Meglos.
He'll make it.
Stop panicking.
How do we know there is a ship? She's lying, she dies.
Don't do that! I know I landed very close to here! Close City exit eight.
Close City exit eight! - Mistress! - K9? K9! - Do something - Mistress! Come on, I can't leave you here.
What do we do? We're going in! You can't get out now.
They've sealed the exit.
Then we must change our plans.
There should be a ventilation shaft on the second level.
I'm stop but you now, because we closed down all the shafts to preserve heat.
You're lying, of course.
You're trapped.
We're all trapped.
Lexa is in control.
We'll make for the main entrance.
No one can stop me now! - Are you sure? - What? Earthling? You again? It is no use.
Let go, Earthling, let go.
You cannot escape.
It will kill you.
Nothing could be worse than this.
What? A hero and a fool? You are a dangerous combination, Earthling.
Whoever or whatever you are.
You're coming with me.
Come on lads! Again! Emergency, emergency.
*****.
Coming Center Control.
Into position.
Prepare to fire! Out of the way! Pull her clear! Stay there, I want to recharge you.
Get help.
The Doctor.
*****.
Come on, let's go.
Doctor, what are you doing? That wasn't the Doctor! - What General? - Well, we wait one hour.
- Precisaly.
- Shut up.
And it was happend nothing.
It's a catastrophe.
You're fall.
The Dodecahedron.
- How did you do that? - How did you do that? ***** again.
Gentlemen, gentlemen.
This is only the beginning! Faith, Deons.
We can restore the Dodecahedron, by offering the angry god a strange for its return.
His life, for the Great Light that illumines us all! We've done it! We've done it! A complete success! Take in off, Brotodac.
I want to come with us, I suggest you close the door! Well done, Brotodac.
Destination, Zolfa-Thura, I think, General.
I hope it's all been worth it, Meglos.
Oh, I think you'll find this will be well worth the odd torn jacket! The Doctor has escaped.
The doors have been breached.
All guards to the gate immediately.
***** Meglos? What about the Doctor? - You're sure he's here.
- Positive.
Then here is it.
O, great god of Ti.
We offer you this sacrifice, and beseech you to restore the Dodecahedron once more to shine in Tigella.
- Thanks be to Ti! - Thanks be to Ti!
