Doctor Who (1963) s08e06 Episode Script

Doctor Who Season 8 The mind of Evil 2 of 6 Doctor.
What’s the matter? Let’s sit down, it’s all right.
There’s nothing there.
Come and sit.
There’s nothing, Doctor.
It’s me, Jo.
It’s all right.
Jo, what are you doing here? You wanted this report on Kettering.
I got it from Doctor Summers.
Look, I told you to take that directly to the Governor’s office.
I thought it was important.
So are my instructions, Jo.
So are my instructions.
You You might have been killed.
Me killed? It seemed that you were the one in danger.
You looked as if you were fighting something that wasn’t there.
Well, it was there, Jo.
At least it was until you distracted it.
Your coming in broke its grip on my mind.
Let me see that report.
You were right about Kettering.
He did have a morbid fear of water.
So he drowned in a perfectly dry room.
Doctor, what did you see? Fire.
But, why should you? Well, some time ago, Jo.
I I witnessed a terrible catastrophe.
A whole world, just just disappeared in flames.
Well, this machine picked that memory out of my mind and used it to attack me.
But this fire you saw it wasn’t real.
Neither was the water nor the rats, yet Linwood is dead and so is Professor Kettering.
We believe what our minds tell us to, Jo.
If this machine’s so dangerous, why not just blow it up? Destroy it.
Because those idiots in authority won’t let me, that’s why.
I’m trying to find a way of controlling it.
So, if you’ve quite finished asking questions.
All right, I’m going.
Mike.
What are you doing here? The Brigadier’s orders.
I’m afraid, Doctor, you got to come back to London with me.
Nonsense.
I can’t possibly leave Stangmoor.
- You’ve got to, Doctor.
- I’m telling you I’m not leaving.
I’m sorry, Doctor, you’re coming back with me, even if I have to use force.
Venusian Karate.
I think you’ll find it a lot harder than you’ll imagine, young man.
Look, Doctor, he really does need you.
Things are going very badly at the peace conference.
The Chinese delegate’s dead and we think he’s been murdered.
Murdered? Yes, all right Captain Yates, I’ll come with you, thank you.
Doctor? I’ll say here and look after things for you.
Look, Jo, for once in your young life, do you think you could do exactly as I ask? Yes, of course.
Now go and see the Governor.
Tell him to lock and bar that door.
No one is to enter this room, no one.
Do you understand? Just leave everything to me.
Yes.
Yes, I’m rather afraid I’ll have to.
- Try and keep out of trouble, will you? - Yes, Doctor.
Come along, Captain Yates, what are you waiting for? Doctor.
Mike.
Are you all right? Yes.
Yes, I’m all right, thank you.
You lost her? Yes, sir.
She gave me the slip.
One minute I had her well in sight and next she She vanished in a puff of smoke? No sir.
I got this sort of throbbing in my head.
I guess I fainted.
When I came to, she’d gone.
Throbbing in the head? Fainted? You’re too delicate for intelligence work, Benton.
Better go and lie down.
Right, sir.
Sorry, sir.
Dismissed Sergeant, just get out of my sight.
I see you’re in your usual sweet affable mood, Brigadier.
When you’ve quite finished grinning like a Cheshire cat, Captain Yates.
Sir.
Right now, Brigadier, would you kindly tell me what all this fuss is about? Mr.
Curry, are you still there? Oh good.
No, no, for a moment I thought we’d been cut off.
As I was saying, the escort will be under my command and will consist of myself, a Sergeant and four motorcycle outriders.
It’s a bit light, isn’t it Captain? I mean considering the importance of this weapon.
We’ll only make ourselves conspicuous if we surround it with a small army, won’t we? Oh, all right.
I suppose you people know best.
Our ETA with you will be at 08:15 hours.
And you will let me know the route? Yes, I’ll ring you through with the route as soon as it’s finalized.
- Goodbye sir.
- Goodbye.
All right, All right, all right, all right, Doctor.
You win.
And you’ll back up my report to the Home Office calling for a complete ban on the Keller process? Yes.
And you’ll get in touch with the Home Secretary and make sure - that he takes some action? - Yes, Doctor, and if that doesn’t do any good, I personally will go down to Stangmoor and blow the blasted machine up myself.
Now, are you or are you not going to help me with this case? My dear Lethbridge Stewart, your word is my command.
You know that you only have to ask.
Thank you.
Well, where on earth do you think you’re going? We are going to see the new Chinese delegate, Mr.
Fu Peng.
Fu Peng, he must be Hokien.
No, no, no Doctor, he’s Chinese.
Now, come along.
- Excuse me.
- Later.
Yes, it’s going to be one of those days.
Cheshire cat, Captain Yates, Cheshire cat.
- Doctor.
- Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, I’m coming.
Get me transport, will you? Transport? Captain Yates here.
I’d like you to lay on a motorcycle escort of four and a jeep, for 07 hundred hours tomorrow.
Right on, sir.
Where’s your rendezvous, sir? Here at HQ.
I’ll take the party down myself.
Right-on sir.
Mr.
Fu Peng? I’m Brigadier Lethbridge Stewart of UNIT command.
I’m in charge of all security arrangements.
And this is our scientific advisor.
It is rare to meet a westerner who knows my language.
Thank you.
Actually I fear my Hokien is somewhat rusty.
On the contrary, it is excellent.
Well, it’s many years since I’ve had a chance to use it.
I remember once having a conversation with Tse-Tung.
Tse-Tung.
But that is the personal name of our chairman, Mao Tse-Tung.
He himself gave me leave to use it.
Yes, if we could just discuss the immediate problem You will take some tea? Come on Mailer.
Up you come, get behind me there.
Right Vosper, come on.
Down you go.
Right Vosper, get busy.
I want this place cleaned up properly.
Hello.
How is he? Fit as a fiddle, aren’t you Barnham? Barnham.
Visitor for you.
Pull up a chair.
Hello.
Thank you.
- Do I know you? - Well, we’ve sort of met.
It’s just that I can’t seem to remember anybody or anything very well.
Don’t you remember being treated by the Keller machine? It’s all a bit of a blank, I’m afraid.
Do you know, you wouldn’t believe this, but I couldn’t even remember me own name, not ‘til the Doctor there told me.
Well, I’m glad to see you looking so much better.
Bye.
Thanks very much for the chocolates, Miss.
Well, everything seems all right.
I’m not sure.
I still think that in Barnham’s case the machine has overreacted, it’s extracted all the negative impulses from his brain.
So what does that make him now? It depends how you look at it, an idiot or a saint.
Getting a bit noisy, ain’t it, Mr.
Green? Right, let’s keep those prisoners quiet, all of you.
Keep quiet.
The Governor.
All right, Vosper.
Outside.
Proper little home for the moment.
You’ll be in this cell until sentence is carried out, Mailer.
Don’t put any money on it, Governor.
No one’s turning me into a zombie and that includes you, mate.
That’s enough of that, Mailer.
All right, Chief.
- Watch him.
- Yes sir.
Fancy a game then, Harry, pass the time? Drop dead.
Suit yourself.
Come on, let’s have a game.
Right, you’re black.
- Cup of tea? - No.
I should be delighted to dine with you soon.
Yes, well there are a few questions that I should like to ask, Mr.
Fu Peng.
What did he say? Dried squid and stewed jellyfish, my dear fellow, for our dinner.
‘Til our next meeting then, my dear Sing Sen.
I really must insist on asking Come along, my dear fellow, we’ve got a great deal of work to do, you know.
Could you perha? Well, where’s this grub then? You planning to starve me to death? It’s coming, Mailer.
It’s coming.
Yeah, so is Christmas.
All right, take easy.
Keys.
Come on, now move it.
Are you’re seriously suggesting there’s a connection? Another mysterious death with unexplained marks on the face and body? There’s got to be.
But this Keller machine of yours is miles away.
Excuse me, sir.
We’re about ready for off sir, if you’ll just okay the movement order onward plans.
Off for another little trip, Captain Yates? Not exactly, Doctor.
We’re moving the Thunderbolt.
- The what? - The Thunderbolt.
It’s a nuclear powered missile with a warhead full of nerve gas.
- I thought they’d outlawed those things? - Oh yes, they have.
This one’s on its way to the naval dockyard, they’re going to dump it at the bottom of the ocean.
With the peace conference going on.
It’s not the most tactful time to be trundling rockets about, is it? I see you’re taking, Benton.
- If it’s okay with you, sir? - You’re welcome to him.
Just make sure he doesn’t lose the missile for you.
Sir? Well, he somehow managed to lose a Chinese girl in broad daylight.
Chinese girl.
What Chinese girl? All right, Yates, carry on.
Good luck.
- Thank you, sir.
- Brigadier, what Chinese girl? Captain Chin Lee, the General’s aide.
I thought she was implicated so I had her followed.
Benton lost her.
That’s it then, that’s the link.
What is? When Emil Keller installed his machine at Stangmoor prison, he had a Chinese girl with him, as an assistant.
- It could be coincidence? - Coincidence, my foot.
You’d better put out a general alert for that Chinese girl, Brigadier.
She’s got to be found and quick.
- You are late, Captain.
- My apologies, Master.
You did well at the conference.
Now I have another little task for you.
No, no, please, no.
Not You will obey me.
I wil obey you, Master.
Tonight, you will kill the American delegate.
Tonight, I will kill the American delegate.
Good, now you may go.
Now, just one peep out of you, that’s all.
- I’ve done the, Harry.
- Good boy.
- But they’ve got the wing surrounded.
- You’ve got no chance.
Shut up.
They won’t come in, not while we’ve got so many screws here.
Are you sure? They can’t get in.
- We can’t get out.
- We’ll get out.
Now, shut up, let me think.
Here you, take over.
Harry, they’ll starve us out.
- What we want is hostages.
- We’ve got ‘em.
We need more.
Now, if we cut around the kitchen, get to the prison hospital, - maybe we can grab a Doctor.
- All right.
Now, you lot stay here.
Come on.
It’s no good.
The line’s dead.
You’d better go to the admin block, Miss Grant.
- What about you? - I’ll stay here.
Someone’s bound to get hurt by the time they fin Out.
Him.
You’re not going to give me any trouble, are you? Look, operator, I’ve been waiting some considerable time now for my call to Stangmoor prison.
Yes, all right.
Yes, I’ll hang on.
There’s some trouble there with the lines.
Lethbridge Stewart? What? No, don’t arrest her, I’ll deal with this myself.
Message from one of my agents.
Chin Lee’s turned up again.
Chin Lee? Where? She’s just been seen entering the Chinese delegate’s suite.
Room four hundred and eleven.
Hello, is the American delegate there, please? This is Captain Chin Lee of the Chinese people’s delegation.
I wish to speak to Senator Alcott urgently.
Yes, thank you.
Hello, Senator Alcott speaking? Yes, Captain, what can I do for you? Comrade Fu Peng wishes to see you immediately and wonders if you could come to our suite.
What? At this time of night? It is a matter of vital importance.
He wishes to assure you that it is to your country’s advantage.
But Captain, this is highly irregular.
He asks that you come alone, the subject is most secret.
All right, I’ll be right over.
Your time will not be wasted, Senator.
Hello? Anyone home? Mr.
Fu Peng? Mr.
Fu Peng? May I ask what this is all about, Captain.
- Of course.
- Well, where’s Mr.
Fu Peng? He will be here soon.
Sit down.
Now, look, Captain, I’m in the middle of my dinner and I Sit down, please.
All right, but make it short, will you? What are you doing? This noise.
This noise in my head.
This is terrible.
What’s happening? Get back.
Get back, I tell you.
Get back.
Don’t come near me.
What’s happening.
