Doctor Who (1963) s01e11 Episode Script

I can't hold on! I can't hold on! I daren't let go with my other hand.
Antodus, get a grip on the rock face.
Take the weight off the rope.
It's too smooth.
Stop it, you fool! I'm losing you.
- Sweat on my hands.
- It's no good, lan.
Call the others.
- Kristas! Kristas! - Kristas! Antodus.
DALEK: What we need for Ilfe means death to the Thalsl You could live in the city and the others could But why do you have to destroy? Can't you use your brains for right? - Only one race can survlve.
- What are you planning? We wlsh to escape captlvlty.
Go out and rebulld the planet Skaro.
Our oxygen dlstrlbutors wlll be subjected to waste radlatlon by the ejector capsule.
Nothing can live outside if you do that.
Nothing.
Except the Daleks.
When do you intend to put this into operation? Now.
This senseless, evil killing.
There's been a fall of rock.
The way is blocked.
- Did you look all round it? - Yes.
There's no way through.
Then we'll have to go back.
We came this far.
We've done our best and more.
First Elyon died and now my brother.
For what? Can't you see that there isn't any sense in it anymore.
- We can't give up now.
- What is it that you want us to do? We must go back and find another way.
Oh, why don't we just give up? Because your brother died, for one thing.
He gave us a chance.
My brother didn't want us to come.
He said we'd all die.
- What's the matter with it? - I don't know.
Dirt's got into it, I expect.
And if we're going back, we'll have to go back now.
- We can't cross the chasm without light.
- Well, we still have the torch.
- That's weak, too.
- Can we use it sparingly? Well, turn it off, Kristas.
Right.
IAN: Wait a minute.
There's a light coming in here.
Where's it coming from? Where's the light coming from? IAN: Here.
Give me a hand.
BARBARA: Can you see anything? GANATUS: What is it? We're through.
We must have been travelling under the pipes all the time.
We're through.
Alydon.
- The antenna hasn't moved for some time.
- No.
The Doctor must have succeeded in putting it out of action.
But why haven't they returned? The Daleks must have captured them.
Now listen, everybody.
The way to the city is clear.
Now is the time to attack.
We may be farmers, but have we forgotten how to fight? - Power down to half.
- Down to half.
- Seal off nuclear waste dlsposer.
- Seallng complete.
Begln radlatlon redlrectlon to dlstrlbutlon capsule.
Can't we stop them? Can't we do anything? Just a moment, I hadn't told you how we came to this planet.
- It does not matter now.
- But it does.
I have a ship capable of crossing the barriers of space and time.
- Surely this would be invaluable to you.
- A shlp? What do you mean? - A machine.
- I do not belleve you.
- But I have.
- It's true.
We have.
You are not capable of creatlng such a machlne.
And you took a part of my ship away from one of my companions.
The young man.
What dld It look Ilke? A small rod with metal at either end.
It belongs to my ship.
A fluid link containing mercury.
Examine it for yourselves, you will see it's part of a complicated machine.
Yes, I have It here.
What if we show you the ship? Explain it to you.
Help you to build another? - A bargaln for your Ilves? - Yes.
- Where Is thls machlne? - In the petrified forest outside the city.
Good.
When the neutron operatlon has been completed, we wlll flnd a way to travel outslde the clty Ilmlts.
- No.
- We wlll examlne your machlne.
No, not unless you stop what you are doing.
Otherwise, I won't explain its secrets to you and its philosophy of movement.
Now we know of the machlne, we can examlne It for ourselves.
- But you can't operate it without me.
- Every problem has a solutlon.

We've knocked out their source of power, I tell you.
Look! - SUSAN: Barbara, is he all right? - Yes, he's very badly hurt, but he's alive.
- Llsten to me.
- Yes? Stop our power from wastlng or It wlll be end of the Daleks.
Even if I'd wanted to, I don't know how.
It's finished.
The final war.
No doubt you will have other wars to fight.
Chesterton, come along, my boy.
We've got work to do.
I want to look at the reactors and see if there's any radiation leakage.
- Yes, and get the ship working again, Doctor.
- Hmm? Oh, yes, yes, yes, of course.
Come along.
Come along.
Kristas, you all right? Let's get him up to the air.
All this machinery, what good is it to us? - None of us knows the first thing about it.
- Well, you must experiment.
BARBARA: These Dalek inventions should be of some use to you.
The Daleks have developed food by artificial sunlight.
You've got everything you need now.
Yes.
If only there'd been some other way.
Oh.
This is what they called a compensator, my friend.
- Well, which is? - The whole of it.
It's useless.
Throw it away.
Forget it.
Unless you want to live in a shell like our dead friends.
Where do you get your knowledge, Doctor? You know, there never seems to have been time to ask, but we don't really know where you come from or why.
To rebuild a whole new world.
- How I envy you.
- But you must stay and help us.
- We could learn from you.
- Oh, no, no.
I'm afraid I'm much too old to be a pioneer.
Although I was once amongst my own people.
- Well, then stay and advise us.
Please.
- No, no.
Thank you.
We're much too far away from home, my granddaughter and I.
Thank you all the same.
It's a nice gesture on your part.
You know, this soil is not quite so barren as you think.
I've been making tests.
And even you might live to see and hear the birds amongst the trees.
You wanted advice you said.
I never give it.
Never.
But I might just say this to you, always search for truth.
My truth is in the stars and yours is here.
- Won't you rest with us? - No, I'm afraid it's out of the question.
But I might visit your grandchildren to find if they've learnt the secrets, and if they have, well, who knows, I might live with them.
Ta-da! Look, Grandfather, isn't it terrific? Thank you, Dyoni.
- What are you up to, Susan? - It's a present from Dyoni.
Isn't it gorgeous? - It's lovely.
- By the way, Doctor, have you fitted the fluid link? Not yet, but I have it safely here.
And there's no need to worry about mercury, young man.
- Good.
Well, goodbye, Dyoni.
- Goodbye.
- Goodbye, Alydon.
- Goodbye, lan.
Come along, my child, I'm hungry.
- Goodbye, Dyoni.
- Goodbye.
Thank you.
Goodbye.
- Goodbye, Ganatus.
- Goodbye, lan.
- Barbara.
- Right.
Oh, how stupid of me.
I very nearly forgot my specimens.
Oh, your hand, sir.
- Goodbye.
- Goodbye, Doctor.
- Well, Ganatus.
- Well, Barbara.
The dress you make from this won't be suitable for swamps and caverns, but - Well, that's a good thing.
- Yes.
It's beautiful.
Thank you very much.
Thank you for everything.
- I wish - Barbara, we're waiting.
Come along, Ganatus.
- Don't be sad, Ganatus.
- I won't be.
But I don't think I'll ever forget her.
