Doctor Who (1963) s21e11 Episode Script
Resurrection of the Daleks, Part One
(DOCTOR WHO THEME) (SCREAMS) - Which way? - Does it matter? (SCREAMS) Where are we? (GUNFIRE CONTINUES) - Where've they gone? - Where do you think? Come on! That was a shambles! They should never have got out of the warehouse! - Who ordered use of machine pistols? - Orders.
Nothing anachronistic to Earth.
So we slaughter valuable specimens! Next time use stun lasers.
- An unfortunate mistake.
- Make it your last or you'll be executed.
(WHIRRING ENGINE NOISE) - All right? - I can't free us from the Time Corridor! - Is there anything you can do? - Too much turbulence.
Things must stabilise soon.
What if they're still in therewaiting? We must warn our own people.
- Use the Time Corridor? - You're a soldier, where's your loyalty? I'm a quartermaster sergeant, I'm not combat-trained.
I can't afford your principles.
Look at me, I'm not in condition, I can't even run properly.
You're pathetic! That too.
- Doctor, we're weaving in time.
- Yes, I know.
- Can't we materialise? - When we're free of the Time Corridor.
- Is that true? - Not if I have anything to do with it! (SUDDEN POWER SURGE) (DEEP RESONANT PULSE) Oh, no! - They've gone.
- They could've closed the Time Corridor.
- Let's get out.
- The Corridor entrance is here.
There's nothing there now! (SOMETHING FALLS TO FLOOR) What was that? A rodent.
(FOOTSTEP) Wearing combat boots? Back to the stairs, quick! - Can you see anything? - Get out of here! Galloway? (GUN FIRE) Galloway! (GUN FIRE) Oh, Galloway.
What are we waiting for? I'm waiting for the right moment to break out of the Time Corridor.
- Can I get to my room? I feel sick.
- Too late, Tegan, hold on.
(ACCELERATED POWER SURGE) (DOCTOR) Hold on! Checklist completed, all systems functioning.
Raise the force shield.
All troopers to battle stations.
Battle speed! - (TEGAN) I can't stand much more.
- (DOCTOR) Hold on! We're free.
- Is it over? - For the moment.
Are you all right? Yes, I think so.
How long has the station been in this state? - Since regular inspections ceased.
- It's falling to pieces.
You're seeing it on a good day.
If you want everything spick and span, you shouldn't work at a prison.
Come on! How do you cope with that mess? By ignoring it.
My only concern is the medical welfare of the crew and the prisoners.
Isn't that a narrow view of your responsibilities? Shut up! It's the only way to stay sane.
You've only been here three days.
I've been here long enough to learn that the morale here is appalling.
- If the captain doesn't care, why must I? - Why, indeed? My tour of duty finishes in eight weeks.
I need a good report for my next promotion.
- I see.
- I don't think you do.
Or I could be here for another two years! If control were aware of the morale, the captain wouldn't be in command.
It's been tried before, usually by inexperienced new boys like you.
Doctor, we're travelling parallel to the Time Corridor.
- Where are we going? - 20th-century Earth, it seems.
(VEHICLE APPROACHING) - How long is your tour of duty? - Two years.
Captain normally allows new arrivals to settle in, before subjecting them to the tedium of Officer-of-the-Watch.
- What did you do? - I complained.
Have you seen the state of the defence system? - You fear attack? - That's not the point.
The only ship we ever see is our supply vessel.
You may have spoken too soon.
Sensors have picked up a ship in the exclusion zone.
- Inform the captain.
- I wouldn't bother him.
Not yet.
It could be anything.
Let the fighters check it out first.
They'll be grateful for the practice! (TARDIS WHOOSH) - You've calculated where we are? - The instruments are still affected.
But I think it's 1984.
London.
- Found it! - Doctor, where are you going? The Time Corridor.
I want to find out what all this is about.
Fighter leader has made visual contact.
It's a battle cruiser! Go to red alert.
Inform the captain.
Sensors report we're being scanned, sir.
Red alert at once! Such neglect.
A hundred years ago, this place would've been bustling.
It might be again, if we find out who's operating the Time Corridor.
- You have no imagination, Tegan.
- It's a load of crumbling brickwork! Operate the deflector shield.
Seal airlocks.
The cruiser's attacked the fighters.
- Can we give them supporting fire? - No.
- All but airlock three is sealed.
- Alert maintenance.
(EXPLOSIVE IMPACT) We've been hit! (ALARMS SOUNDING) - What's happening? - Engineering report - What's happening? - Damage to the generating plant.
Cruiser's closing in, sir.
I've lost contact with the fighters.
Open fire! I said open fire! I can't! We don't have enough power for the laser cannon.
We're defenceless! - We should surrender! - No! - We can't fight without a deflector shield! - How long will this slaughter continue? - Where's the captain? - Dead.
- Cruiser preparing to dock.
- Which airlock? - Three.
Maintenance team's on it.
- I want every man down there.
- Block the corridor with anything.
- More killing? Your bile would be better directed against the enemy! - How long before they dock? - Three minutes.
- We'd better go down to the airlock.
- Right.
Should we be boarded, destroy the prisoner.
Good luck.
- Don't come in here.
Soldiers! - What? - He'll be all right.
- Look his clothes.
He must have come down the Time Corridor.
- You've got to help me.
- What happened? (INTENSIVE HUM FROM DOCKING DOORS) Check how long the maintenance crew'll be.
- The cruiser's docked.
- The cruiser's docked! - Get the shield down! - (WOMAN) Come on, pull! (WOMAN) Pull! I must rest.
I'm hungry.
I haven't eaten since yesterday.
- Who's controlling the Time Corridor? - I don't know.
Have you anything to eat? - Where are you from? - Earth.
But not all prisoners are from the same period.
- You sure you've nothing to eat? - Relax.
I'm going into the warehouse.
No! I told you, there are soldiers.
Perhaps they can tell us what's going on, huh? The Time Corridor's on the next level.
Be careful.
Wait until I give the order.
(MAN) Fire! Aaah! Aaah! Now.
Now! - (DALEK 1) Under attack! Withdraw! - (DALEK 2) Withdraw! Under attack! - (DALEK 1) Regroup! Regroup! - (DALEK 2) Withdraw! Withdraw! Regroup! Fools! I told you they'd mine the corridor! (DALEK) We do not want excuses.
The attack must continue! - Only this time as I planned.
- (DALEK) Show more respect! Your tactics won't work, their position's too strong.
You may proceed! We shall try your plan! But should you fail, you will be exterminated! Darkisn't it? - Look around.
- I can't see Galloway's body.
Look, Doctor.
Bullets.
- Recently fired.
- Hardly alien.
Why advertise who you are, huh? Where's Turlough? (DOCTOR) Turlough? Where's he gone? Turlough? - Did you hear that? - No, sir.
I thought I heard voices.
- How long before they try again? - Soon.
- Can't we take the fight to them? - I think not! (MAN) Fire! Masks down! Masks down! (ALL COUGH AND SPLUTTER) Move it! We're finished.
It's every man for himself! Destroy the prisoner.
It's not working! (WOMAN) Come with me! Turlough! Turlough! May I help you, gentlemen? This is private property.
Sorry, a friend of mine wandered in here by mistake and we're looking for him.
I haven't seen him.
- What's going on? - Precisely what I'm trying to find out.
- The bridge has been secured, sir.
- Good, we must join them.
(DALEK 1) The Doctor has been detained in the warehouse.
(DALEK 2) Despatch a Dalek.
He must be brought to our ship at once! I obey! (ELECTRONIC DOOR OPENS) Oh! Does nothing work properly? Try here! What's that smell? It can't be the prisoner.
Time Corridors, alien beings! Really! You may not believe us, but the entrance to the Time Corridor is on this level .
.
somewhere.
Interesting! You don't disbelieve us, do you? Of course, I've never heard such nonsense! - What have you discovered? - Nothing.
Take them away.
Tell them, Colonel, they've guessed most of it.
- Are you from the Press? - What have you found? Tell me! Alien objects? - Inform HQ about what's happened.
- OK, sir.
Right, explosive charges primed.
What is that smell? - Keep back.
- Help me! Stay away! What's happening to me? (GUN FIRES) (GUN FIRES) (WOMAN) No! (GUN BLASTS) Disarmed.
Release Davros.
- It's static.
I can't get through to HQ.
- Side effect of the Time Corridor.
Be quiet! (OBJECT FALLS) - Who's there? - Don't harm her, please! - She's a friend.
- (TEGAN) Sorry, Doctor.
- Look! - (COLONEL) What is it? A Dalek! Take cover! (DALEK) Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate!
Nothing anachronistic to Earth.
So we slaughter valuable specimens! Next time use stun lasers.
