Doctor Who (1963) s06e39 Episode Script

The War Games, Part Five

What are you doing? It's me, Zoe! You're a spy.
German spy.
It's my duty to shoot you.
Carstairs! Well done, Lieutenant.
You've captured a dangerous spy! Yes.
And this time she won't escape.
Lieutenant, we mustn't kill her.
But she's a spy, she must die.
She must Lieutenant Carstairs, I am your superior officer, you will obey my commands.
Yes, sir.
Prisoner delivered, sir.
Take her away, security section.
Now, Lieutenant, we have work to do.
Come with me.
You realise we have saved your life? I don't think he's going to be grateful.
We're lucky they didn't kill all three of us.
Look, how long are we gonna be kept here? Until Russell arrives.
He'll decide what to do with you! Well, who's Russell? He's our captain, he'll be along.
Where is it? You are gonna tell me where that tunnel is.
What tunnel? Look, we've been watching this place, it's where the recruits keep coming from.
What makes you think there's a tunnel? Come on, we see the recruits come out of here.
Look, there's no tunnel! They come out of a big green box, a sort of machine.
A what? Machine? Look, is he crazy or something? I know it's difficult to believe, but it is true, I've seen it myself.
Oh, come on, quit kidding about, huh? We've got to find that tunnel.
But even if you do find out how the troops get here, what good is it going to do you? Maybe we can get out of here back to where we came from! Where do you think you are? Look, I don't know.
All I know is I was brought here and I wanna find my way out, right? - You found your tunnel yet? - Oh, we're still looking.
The supplies are loaded, let's get out of here.
- Not until we find that tunnel! - There's no tunnel! We've got the supplies, let's go.
- Hey, what do you think you are doing? - We can't afford to take prisoners! Oh, no, you don't! Get up.
Up! You're just like a couple of kids, aren't you? I leave you alone and you start fighting amongst yourselves! He started it, you ask any of 'em! We were taking prisoners, he wanted to shoot 'em! All right.
All right! Spencer, take those stores over to our HQ.
You ought to know better, Harper.
He wanted to shoot him, I couldn't let him! Look at that! Now do you believe us? Oh, what's gonna happen? What are you going to do to me? Well, you might answer me! You are the one who will answer questions.
Who are you? I won't tell you anything! What is you name? - My name is - Zoe Heriot.
To which resistance group do you belong? When did you join the resistance? I did not join the resistance.
I joined the resistance - What time do you come from? - The 21 st century.
Impossible, there is no 21 st century Time Zone.
I was born in I was born in the 21 st century.
- Try again.
- Oh! I was born in I was born in the 21 st century.
You were first reported in the 1917 Time Zone.
Yes.
- How did you get there? - I arrived in the TARDIS.
TARDIS? What does that mean? Time and relative dimensions in space.
- It's a spaceship.
- You have a spaceship? The ship belongs to the Doctor.
I'm going to show you some photographs.
You will identify anyone known to you, particularly this Doctor! What are you doing in here? Yes, I was so interested in your demonstration I felt I had to come along and see how you were getting along.
But you There's a security alarm out for you! - Really, why? - The War Chief, he pointed you out.
- Oh, no, no, no.
Not me, the girl! - Then why did you run? Um Well, I was, I was trying to catch her, of course! Has she been caught? Yes.
I sent her to the security section for questioning.
Oh, good.
How are you getting on with him? - I'm just about to reprocess him.
- Oh, yes, this is interesting.
I think you'll find that bit goes just there.
Erm, will there be enough of these advanced models ready for our major plan? If I knew the precise timing of the plan that would be easier to answer.
Oh, but surely you must know, in your position.
Yes, of course, just as you do.
But only the War Chief knows the timing.
Now, really, I am very busy.
Oh, I I would consider it a great honour if I could simply stand and watch.
- Oh, very well.
- Thank you.
What are we doing now? I am about to de-process him, just as you suggested at my lecture.
Oh, I see.
Yes, this is intriguing.
Uh, will he remember everything when he wakes up? Yes, he'll remember everything.
Uh, would you strap him down, please? As soon as the de-processing has completed everything will return to normal.
Oh Oh, yes.
Certainly.
There we are! Is the de-processing complete? Yes.
Oh, where am I? Oh, Doctor! You! He recognises you! You're one of Oh, no, please.
Don't hurt him.
Get it off No, don't hurt him.
Put him on there.
In the machine, quick! Hoist with his own petard! Come along, Lieutenant! Lieutenant? Doctor, where are we? What? Well, what do you remember? Well, I remember you and Lady Jennifer - And I was captured, wasn't I? - Yes, that's right, unfortunately.
And brought here, to the aliens' war centre and brainwashed again, but you're all right now.
Oh, I see! I'll explain as we go along.
We must find Zoe.
Oh, uh Better leave him on simmer.
You expect me to believe all this? Yes! They use that thing to talk to each other! - Ah, don't touch it! - It works like a telephone.
And you say that something appears in the middle of this barn and hundreds of men get out of it, a box? Aye, we've both seen it! Get him off.
- What's that noise? - Don't know.
You'll find out soon enough! This is Central Control, what is your emergency? This is Central Control, what is your emergency? Did she identify her companions? No, they are not on our files of resistance people.
Then they must be a small independent group.
Yes, five of them.
First reported in the 1917 Time Zone.
One has been caught and is being reprocessed, two believed still at large in the American Civil War Zone.
And one still at large in this control.
He will be caught! He's evaded your security guards so far, perhaps he will continue to do so.
From which Time Zone does she originate? She was a nurse, like the other girl.
1917.
And the man? The same, 1917.
Why did they come here? They had some confused idea they were getting home.
She told you nothing else? Everything quite straightforward? Yes.
The normal pattern of resistance activity.
Did you expect something else? Emergency call from the American Civil War Zone, sir.
- What's wrong? - The signal was activated, but there was no message, no contact at all.
All right, I'll deal with it.
- Come with me.
- But the girl! She can wait.
That must be the security room.
Zoe, what have they done to you? Don't you point that thing at me! You ought to be ashamed of yourself treating a poor, young girl like Oh, well done.
There we are.
Now, are you feeling better? Oh, my head! What happened? That's was just the question I was going to ask you.
What did happen? They questioned me.
Someone came in, put on that strange headset and questioned me.
Let's have a look.
Oh, yes, it's a very interesting little gadget.
I saw pictures of people.
Really? Oh, well, let's try it, shall we? Now then, where does this switch Oh, yes, oh With a slight adjustment There we are.
Yes.
What questions did they ask you about these people, Zoe? He was talking about the resistance.
At first he seemed to think I was one of them.
Oh, yes, the resistance, of course.
Yes.
That's the American Civil War The 1914-18 War Yes, it's all recorded here.
Scattered groups of resistance.
Now, if we could organise Zoe, can you remember all the details about the resistance from that thing? - Names, faces, Time Zones, and so on? - Yes, of course I can.
Good.
Then we can return to the Time Zones and organise the resistance into one big army! - That way they'll have a better chance.
- But how do we get back? Well, that's simple.
The way we came! Come on.
Oh, Doctor, are you sure? Still no message, sir, just the emergency signal.
Well? This is your sphere of responsibility.
Arrange transportation for guards.
Central control to landing bay, transportation required for security guards.
Security squad to report to landing bay immediately.
Proceed to American Civil War Zone to investigate reported emergency.
- What was all that about? - I don't know.
But they're going to the landing bay.
Come on.
I've posted sentries all around.
If they should send in any troops, our outposts will warn us.
Good.
But what if they send one of those things the Doctor went off in? Aye, if that's what they'll do, then they can attack us from inside! - They've got to get inside first.
- No, you don't understand Quick, hide! In here - Hold it there! - Well, er Well, we dealt with those all right, didn't we? There's not a mark on him! But he's dead.
But what are these things, how do they work? Hey, careful! They don't work.
Aye, well, you probably have to do something very special with them.
Your green box machine.
Aye! Just what we need.
This emergency call could be resistance activity.
There is a large group operating in the American Civil War Zone.
There seem to be large groups operating in most zones and now they're even infiltrating here.
Only two of them and one of those has already been caught.
Had I not pointed them out, you wouldn't have even known they were here! Yes, that has been puzzling me.
Just how did you recognise them? You dare cross-question me? The security of this entire venture is being threatened by your incompetence.
You will find this intruder! The whole base is being searched, it is only a matter of time.
If the mental processing were fully effective There would be no need for security.
When I came to your people I was promised efficiency and cooperation.
Without the knowledge I have, this complete venture would be impossible! We have given you every facility.
If you have complaints, I suggest you take them to the War Lord! I intend to do so.
And now I suggest you finish the interrogation of that girl before she escapes as well! Where is the girl? You fool, where is she? Do you not see, though? This thing could take us back to the place where it's all controlled from! How do you know? Oh, where do you think those two came from? Well, is it true? Answer me! Do you think I'd help you? You'll do as you're told! Take those two away! Now, look, you want to find out what's going on, don't you? Oh, I can't wait for you to make up your mind! Oh, wait for me! Ah, now, Lady Jennifer, I don't think you should come.
- Because I'm a woman? - Uh, no, uh Well, in a way, yes.
That settles it, then.
I'm certainly coming.
You can't go alone.
No, you're right, miss, he can't.
I'm going with him.
- But you're staying here.
- Oh, now look here! - You're a nurse, you say? - Yes, but what's that got to do with it? I've got hundreds of injured men back at my headquarters.
They need the help of someone like you.
Yes, I suppose you're right.
Tell Lieutenant Carstairs that Well, tell him I'll see him when you all get back.
- Right.
- Good luck.
Oh, thank you.
Take her back to our headquarters.
Thank you, miss.
You.
Guard him.
If he gives you any trouble, shoot him! You two, you're coming with me.
Come on, move! Door's closing! - Quick! Come on.
What happened? - That young officer got away.
- How? Oh, the one in the lecture who asked all the questions, he tricked me.
- I must report this to the War Chief.
- No! You two, wait outside.
But he must be informed.
These people are no ordinary resistance group.
The girl said they have the secret of space-time travel.
That's impossible.
She was under the truth machine.
But the War Chief, he's the only one who understands space-time travel.
- And his people.
- What are you suggesting? He is not one of our race.
Who knows where his true loyalties lie? But he came to us of his own accord.
He is a traitor to his own people.
How can we be sure he is not a traitor to us? Transportation returning from the American Civil War Zone, sir.
Good.
But they're not following the routine, sir.
They haven't called in.
- Have you tried to make contact? - Yes, sir.
All right, inform the Security Chief.
No! No, I'll handle this myself.
This is the War Chief to security section.
All guards to landing bay.
The following procedure will be carried out How long have we got to wait here, Doctor? Until one of those things arrives.
If I can get inside, I'm sure I can control it.
The alarm signal.
They've probably found that guard.
The light's flashing, that means an arrival.
It looks as though somebody important's coming.
It's an ambush!
