Doctor Who (1963) s03e40 Episode Script

The Savages, Part Three

Adjust resistance pressure.
What's the resistance reading? Negative.
Vitality is dropping, watch it carefully.
Adjust cutout at 25, don't reduce any lower or he may not recover.
Senta! Your message was passed on to me.
You are to be congratulated.
It's a perfect transfer.
Remarkable.
How is the Doctor? Reduced nervous tension of course, but in good condition.
Given time, he will recover, and like the others, we'll be able to use him again.
You realise what this means, Senta.
If we are able to achieve this transfer successfully, we will be able to do the same with the other time travellers.
The young man and the girl? As it is, they are a danger to us.
But as a source of energy, they could be of great value.
Captain Edal.
Send out patrols.
The two young people who arrived with the Doctor must be brought in.
Leave him.
We have brought you here only for your safety.
What have you done for the Doctor? We can do nothing for him.
If you don't fight them, you'll always suffer.
Obviously you have never faced the light guns.
What is this place? Why have we come here? To hide.
That is where we live.
Caves! You live there? Yes.
Like animals! Like animals.
It is the one place the guards will not follow.
Even they hesitate to go into the darkness of those passages.
There is news Chal.
The patrols have been sent out.
They are searching for the strangers.
How do you know they are looking for us? They have not touched any of our people - and they are still hunting.
Did you hear anything about the Doctor? He will have been used.
You mean, they put him in that glass cell? Steven, what are we going to do? Don't worry, Dodo, we'll find him.
I must warn you, when you do find him, he will not be as you remember - they leave us afterwards only a hollow shell of ourselves.
What is his vitality? It's down to twenty-five.
We were very careful.
And the energy count? That's high.
As a source of energy, his power is remarkably high.
And he will recover? Of course, but it will take time.
Very well.
And now I wish you to prepare for an in-transference.
So soon? The sooner the better.
You have nominated a number of people to receive part of his life force? No, there will be only one person.
That is most unusual.
This is a most unusual experiment, Senta.
It would not be right to jeopardise the safety of any other members of the city.
I will take full responsibility.
You're going to take the in-transference yourself? Yes.
But Jano, is that wise? Anything might happen.
We have never seen the results of such an in-transference before.
It is for that reason that I will take the risk.
I shall be ready when you need me.
Keep to your own division, Exorse.
You're too far over.
This is section K4.
You should be beyond the scrubland.
Go and see if they've tried to reach the Valley of Caves.
Very good, Captain.
What is it? A patrol is coming this way.
I have warned you - they are looking for you.
Will they come here? Possibly.
Where can we go? There is no place where you are safe.
Be silent! You will be safe in the caves.
No Chal! You cannot take them into the caves.
The guards would follow and then our last refuge would be gone.
They have helped us.
We must help them.
No! They are not our people.
They must not be allowed in the caves.
I am the leader.
And I say they may go.
Very well.
Our destruction will be on your hands.
You will remain here.
Come with me, quickly.
Nanina do not worry.
They are friends.
They helped me.
It's beautiful - like a little temple.
This is where we live.
It is the one spot on this island which we can call our own.
But, who's made all this? Our people have done it.
It's superb! Our ancestors were great artists.
As time passes, we are less able to do such things.
Most of our talents have been taken from us.
Only our faith remains.
And that they will never take.
Look out.
The patrol is coming.
Stay where you are.
Where are they? Next time, I will take you away.
I asked you, where are the strangers? Up there, are they? Right! What is happening? He is coming this way.
Go back - I will watch.
You have the two strangers.
Tell them to come here.
There are no strangers.
Let me see what's going on.
Stay down there! How many guards? There's only one, but he has a gun.
What's he doing now? It's no use.
He's coming here.
Isn't there any other way out of this place? There are the passages but they don't lead anywhere.
You mean we're trapped? No, no, they will give us a chance.
There are many passages and he may not know which one to follow.
Come with me.
This is an order.
Bring out the strangers.
I know they are there.
What will happen to him? They can do no worse than they have done before.
We don't want to bring any more suffering on your people.
Very well, I will come and get them myself.
Quickly! This way.
The strangers, girl, where are they? Tell me or you will suffer.
I will tell you nothing.
After I find them, I shall teach you to obey.
Where are they? Very well.
I shall take you back in their place.
Don't talk! They have gone into the face of the rock! Which opening? Which opening? Get back! You have betrayed them.
But he would have taken me! Where does this lead to? Only further into the rocks.
There's no way out? No.
Listen! I don't hear anything.
I'm not sure.
Come on.
Isn't there any place to hide? I'm afraid the echo But she's right though.
We don't stand a chance if all the passages are as narrow as this.
I can promise nothing, but he may not follow.
How much more of this passage is there? Very little.
But it is our only chance.
I know you are there, strangers.
There is no escape for you.
It will be better for you if you turn back now.
It's no good Steven.
Do you hear me? What's that? It is the last bend - after that, there is nothing.
Go on.
Where are they now? They've gone into the rock.
And the guard? He's followed.
He showed him the way.
Chal should not have brought the strangers here.
They will punish all of us! But the strangers helped us.
What good is that if they make the leaders angry? Come back, strangers.
There is no escape.
Then come and get us.
He knows we are here.
If I can get him angry, he might do something rash.
Come on, soldier boy, what are you frightened of? You've got the gun.
He will destroy us all! How will he do that? With the gun.
Tell me, how will he use it? What does it matter! Hurry up, I've got to know! Tell me! How does it work? They shine the liquid light beam on us, and we cannot move.
Does the beam reflect? How do you mean? If the light from the gun reflects, does it still work? Yes, yes, I have seen it from the water of the lake.
Quick Dodo, give me that mirror.
Now come on, get on the floor, both of you.
It's no use! You are foolish to think you can defy me.
Have the people of the caves not told you you cannot resist us? We're going to change all that, soldier boy.
Come on, what are you frightened of? The travellers from beyond time are indeed foolish people.
Keep down! Don't let it shine on you.
Don't let it touch your eyes.
Quiet! It's coming closer.
Now do you understand strangers? We are masters.
We must go.
We must obey.
Hold him Dodo.
This might just work.
It is useless, stranger.
Well done Dodo.
Now for it.
I will give you no more orders.
You will step into the light.
Right, now turn.
Come on, move! He has taken the guard prisoner.
It is impossible! They're coming back.
We should not have angered him.
What will happen to us? He has taken them prisoners.
It's the guard! He has the gun.
We're safe.
Right, tie him up.
Make him a prisoner.
You can destroy the people of the city.
They can destroy our enemies.
The strangers must be gods.
Are we to release him into the outer world as with the others? He is not one of the savages.
He couldn't look after himself.
No, he will be kept here.
The elders intended to give him the guest apartments.
He must be taken there.
Assist him.
Treat him with great care.
He is most valuable to us.
I understand, Senta.
You are ready? Yes - I've sent my assistants away.
You are right.
It is most important that we keep this in-transference secret until we know the results.
I don't wish to alarm anyone.
Shall we begin? I am ready.
All will go well.
I shall switch on when you give me the signal.
We shall kill him while we have the chance.
He's more use to us alive.
They have killed many of our people.
It would be justice.
Leave him.
Why do you pity him Nanina? This is the guard that took you.
Think what they do even now to the old man.
And if we're quick, we may still be able to help the Doctor.
It is too late - there is nothing we can Be silent! What do you wish us to do? Show us how to get into the city.
There is a way, but it is dangerous.
It is always guarded.
I can handle the guards with this.
Just show me how to get in.
And once you're in? Dodo and I can find the Doctor.
Do you know where he is? He was supposed to go to the guest apartment.
It will not be possible.
We must try.
Very well, I will show you - but we must hurry.
Guard your prisoner - make sure he doesn't get away.
Good luck go with you.
The safest way to deal with him is to kill him now.
You heard what Chal said! I shall call him back! Has he hurt you? Not much.
Let me see.
I shall make sure it is clean.
You're the girl I brought into the laboratory.
Yes.
Why did you stop him? It would do no good to kill you.
What is your name? Nanina.
I shall remember.
The entrance is there.
It opens into a passage which leads to the laboratory.
Can you be sure? Yes.
It is the way we leave when they have taken our strength away.
Down! It's not as though he's not expecting trouble Our people have been oppressed for so long the guards have grown careless.
Alright, we'll make use of that.
How close in do I have to go before this becomes effective? Just a little further.
Right.
You two stay here.
Hello there? Is that you Exorse? Dodo, Chal! Get his gun.
Switch off your light.
He's flat out.
The light must have hit his eyes.
It is as if he was struck by a club.
He will be like this for a long time.
How do we open the door? It's simple.
Right, Chal, take this fellow up into the bushes - we don't want anyone to find him here.
Then wait for us.
What will you do? Dodo and I are going inside.
In-transference completed.
Pressure restored.
Are you all right Jano? Jano?! Jano? Are you all right Jano? For a moment I was afraid that What? What's all the fuss about? Hmm? I'm quite all right.
The trouble with you people on this planet is that you don't What do you mean Jano? You belong to this planet.
You're one of us.
One of yes, yes of course.
I'm afraid I'm not quite myself.
I understand.
You must rest Jano.
I shall give instructions that you are not to be disturbed.
Hmm! An excellent idea.
After an experience like that, one takes time to become adjusted.
I suppose my two young friends Avon and Flower? Good gracious no, no, no.
Steven and Dodo, the child with the ridiculous name.
The strangers? Oh! Strangers to you, perhaps, but I have known them both yes, yes of course, the strangers.
I will leave you, Jano.
Hmm! So I'm in this dreadful place, am I? Well, I'll soon do something about their equipment.
What's happened to me? What's happened to me? Steven, there's something wrong.
It shouldn't be so easy to get in.
Chal and his people will be too terrified to break in.
Surely they should have some security? Maybe they thought one guard was enough.
They're not going to give us much trouble.
A little bit further and they'll have no chance to get back.
It looks as though they're stopping.
Steven, there's something strange.
I don't want to go on.
It's our only chance.
We've got to find the Doctor.
Listen! We'll just have to coax them in a little.
Hello, guest apartment control.
Captain Edal speaking.
Conduct time traveller number one to the end of emergency corridor U-3.
You are to leave the Doctor there by himself.
Take him there immediately - this is urgent.
This is the corridor I was in before.
There's a T-junction just ahead.
Can we get into the laboratory that way? Yes.
Come on.
Alright.
Time traveller number one in position.
Good.
Release him.
And stay out of sight until I give the signal.
Here's the T-junction all right.
There's someone there! You're right.
Stand by.
Doctor! Oh it's wonderful to see you.
Are you all right? How did you get here? Why doesn't he answer? Are you all right Doctor? Come on - we're going to get you out of this place.
He's not moving Steven - give him a hand.
Come on.
What was that? The door! Dodo, quickly! Doctor come on now, you can get through! Steven, I can't hold on much longer.
Doctor! Doctor! What have they done to you? Guards to Emergency Corridor U-3.
Use destructive vapours as protection against the light gun.
Move up behind! Look! There's someone behind us! That's no good, Steven.
We've got to get out.
Oh quickly Steven! He's getting nearer.
Can't see anything.
We've got to go through it Dodo.
I can't Come on Dodo.
I can't
