Doctor Who (1963) s02e09 Episode Script
Flashpoint (The Dalek Invasion of Earth, Part Six)
(''DOCTOR WHO'' THEME) (DALEKSUPREME) As soon as the capsule is in position over the fissure release it! (RHYTHMIC BEEPING) (BEEPING STOPS) (ALL) Pull! Pull! Pull! Pull! Pull! (DALEK) Capsule now arrived at substation.
(DALEKSUPREME) Ascertain extent of breakdown.
(DALEK) A man has been seen leaving capsule.
(DALEKSUPREME) Exterminate him! Exterminate him! Stay where you are! (CRACKLING BUZZ) We're near their control room.
What do you want me to do? Move! Find the main control panel.
Do as much damage as you can.
I'll keep them occupied.
Silence! You will only speak when you are ordered to do so! Dalek reports human fallen down bomb shaft.
Capsule is being repaired.
Wait here! (DALEKSUPREME) Every error must be corrected! The penetration explosive must strike the fissure correctly if we are to extract the molten core.
Have all work tasks been completed? They have.
(DALEKSUPREME) Then arrange for the extermination of all human beings! - The final solution! - Kill! Kill! (DALEKSUPREME) Alter command frequencies to oral control to all Robomen.
They are to herd humans down to the lower galleries! (DALEK) Immediately! Testing oral control.
Testing oral control.
Testing oral control.
Testing oral control.
Did you see that? That's how they control the Robomen.
- Let's put it out of action! - We could give new orders.
- Tell them to turn on the Daleks! - Great idea! They are the prisoners that reported the imminent revolt.
(DALEKSUPREME) Speak! This bomb is the one We are not interested in the bomb! Give your information! Right.
This revolt is timed to start almost immediately.
As in the case of the Indian Mutiny which India Mutiny? We are the masters of India! I was talking about Red Indians in disguise! The plan will run parallel with the Boston Tea Party.
Naturally, you know about this? (DALEKSUPREME) Wait! Why have I not been informed of this? (DALEK) There has been no information.
Good! That means the first part of the plan is a success! Now, I warn you General Lee and the Fifth Cavalry will attack from the north side of the crater.
The second wave, Hannibal's forces, will come in from the southern Alps.
(DALEKSUPREME) Mobilise defence forces! Robomen, this order cannot be countermanded.
You must (DALEKSUPREME) They are lying! Take them! (DALEK) I will arrange for their extermination! (DALEKSUPREME) No.
Secure them! They will be killed in the explosion! The countdown must proceed to schedule.
- Sorry, Jenny.
- What for? It was a marvellous attempt and it nearly worked, too.
But it didn't and we won't get a second try.
Look! That must be the bomb shaft! Have you ever seen anything like that mine, Doctor? I certainly have not.
Good! There seems to be a way down there! - I still say it's madness! - Let's have a closer look.
Yes, Doctor.
- How many bombs have you left? - I've got three, I think.
That should be enough.
You see that mast over there, and the cable behind it? I want you and Susan to walk around the lip of the crater and sever it! Use the bombs and detonate them with your revolver.
Off you go, and don't stop to pick daisies on the way! I don't think they'll have any trouble.
- What about us? - That will be harder to guarantee.
(CREAKING) (DALEKSUPREME) As soon as the repairs to the capsule are complete, the explosive device will be released into the bowels of this planet.
(JENNY) They're almost ready! (DALEKSUPREME) Attention, all Daleks! Our saucers are hovering above the mine area.
Notice to board saucers will be given shortly! I've neutralised the warning system.
Shall we go in? Doc, life's never dull with you around! Thank you, but don't call me ''Doc''.
I prefer ''Doctor''.
Do you mind? (CREAKING) (DALEK) The work on the capsule is complete.
The device is ready.
(DALEKSUPREME) Good.
We shall have one hour to leave when the device is fired.
Am firing now! (DALEKSUPREME) The explosive device is on its way to the centre of the Earth.
We shall go to the edge of the mine workings and be picked up by the saucers.
- That was a close one! - Apparently, things are on the move! They didn't bother to kill us.
The explosion will take care of that.
It's no good.
I can't move mine.
Listen.
I think the Daleks are coming back.
- Doctor! - Barbara! The magnet! Quickly! Is Chesterton with you? Never mind.
We must take action before the Daleks get back.
They've activated a bomb to blow a hole through the centre of the Earth.
They're trying to pilot the Earth out of its orbit.
The bomb will go off in 30 minutes.
If they succeed, they will upset the entire constellation! - We've got to prevent it! - How? By keeping the Daleks here.
Watch the door! Now, I wonder Can I do anything with this scanner? There's Susan! Susan and David are trying to fracture the outer cable ring.
What will that do? We might be able to immobilise the Daleks.
(TANNOY) Scanner frequencies have been changed in Central Control! (DALEKSUPREME) The prisoners must have escaped.
Deal with them! - The radio circuit's still working! - Hurry, Susan! We can only watch and wait.
We can't contact them from here.
(DALEK) Two zero reporting! (TYLER) A Dalek's coming! Will exterminate them at zero range! It's nearly here.
Thermostat reading too high! Heat increasing! Complete power loss! Complete! (STRANGLED WAIL) - You took a chance.
- A chance? Yes.
Can you stop the bomb? Not now! We don't know how long this little trick will hold the Daleks! We may have to find something else.
That thing controls the Robomen.
Maybe we could give it new orders? That's brilliant, my dear! Carry on! (STILTED VOICE) Robomen, this is your last order.
Obey it and no other.
Turn on the Daleks! Kill the Daleks! (ANGRY YELLING) (JEERING) (SHOUTING AND CHEERING) Barbara! - Doctor! - Where did you spring from? I was trying to get out of the mine.
People are fighting back! That must be where I jammed it, so that must be where it will explode.
It goes off in ten minutes! I don't think their device will succeed from that position, but it will be a gigantic explosion.
- We have to get everyone out.
- They'll be safe outside the valley.
We must all meet back on the cliff, where we were before.
Hurry up! (PULSATING BEEP) Keep right down, all of you! (COUGHING) The saucers were caught in the upward thrust of that explosion.
- Do you think any Daleks escaped? - In that, my dear? Impossible! There's something new for you, Tyler.
A volcanic eruption in England! It's unbelievable.
Yes, it's unbelievable.
It's over! Well, at least the firebombs didn't destroy everything.
It's a pity Dortmun couldn't be here, and people like him.
It's to them you must dedicate your next task, rebuilding the Earth.
I'm sure you'll make a great success of it.
You sound as if you're leaving.
(BIG BEN CHIMES UNEVENLY) Listen! (FALTERING CHIMES) It's just the beginning! Just the beginning! All alone, Susan? Hm? I was thinking.
Yes, I'm afraid we've had little time for that sort of thing lately.
- It would be nice if - I I'm sorry, Susan.
What were you going to say? Ow! My dear Susan, you're hurt! It's this shoe.
It's worn right out! It must have been that journey back from the mine.
- I shall have to mend this.
- Don't worry, Grandfather.
I'll make this look as good as new.
It's not worth it.
I've got dozens of other pairs.
I'd better clear out my cupboard.
It's in a dreadful muddle.
Yes, you little monkey.
Since you've been away from that school, you've become thoroughly disorganised! Yes, you need taking in hand.
I I think I must check up on the ship if you don't mind.
Hmm, yes I won't be long.
What are your plans, David? Me? Oh I'll join a group that work the land.
More than anything, I want to see things grow again.
I want to be a part of it.
It's a nice idea.
Do you come from the country? Yes, my family have always been associated with land.
- Where do they live? - They live a long way from here.
Well, I can't stand talking here all day.
See me before you go, David.
I will, Tyler.
Goodbye, Tyler.
Goodbye Susan Yes, David? Please stay.
Please stay here with me.
I can't stay, David.
I don't belong to this time.
I love you, Susan, and I want you to marry me.
You see, David Grandfather's old now.
He needs me.
Don't make me choose between you and him.
Please! But you told me! You said you'd never known the security of living in one place and one time.
You said it was something that you always longed for.
Well, I'm giving you that, Susan! I'm giving you a place, a time.
An identity.
No, David! Agh! (SOBS QUIETLY) I've lost my shoe.
Oh, David, I do love you.
I do! I do! Grandfather! (DOCTOR) Susan, I've double-locked the doors.
You can't get in.
Now, move back, child, where I can see you.
During all the years I've been taking care of you, you have been taking care of me.
- Grandfather, I belong with you! - Not any longer, Susan.
You're still my grandchild and always will be, but now you're a woman, too.
I want you to belong somewhere, to have roots of your own.
With David, you will be able to find those roots, and live normally like any woman should do.
Believe me, my dear, your future lies with David, not with a silly old buffer like me! One day, I shall come back.
Yes, I shall come back.
Until then, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties.
Just go forward in all your beliefs, and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine.
Goodbye, Susan.
Goodbye, my dear.
(WHOOSHING) Susan Susan He knew.
He knew you could never leave him.
