Doctor Who (1963) s09e11 Episode Script

The Sea Devils, Part Three

Like that is it? I wouldn't do that if I were you.
That's government property.
I always find that violent exercise makes me hungry.
Don't you agree? Then you better enjoy your meal, Doctor, because it might be your last.
You think so? You're good, Doctor, but you're not good enough.
Ah, but you haven't seen the quality of my footwork yet.
How many times have I told you? Violence will never get you anywhere.
What's going on here? I was defending myself.
This man came here to kill me.
Be so good as to explain yourself, Doctor.
Only a complete fool would listen to such an accusation.
-Though I suppose in your case -Don't speak to me like that.
I shall have a full enquiry into the whole thing.
Meanwhile, consider yourself under arrest.
-Take him to my office immediately.
-Oh, don't be absurd, man.
You heard me.
Take him away.
If you must continue with this ridiculous charade Only take care not to lose him this time, won't you? What were you going to do? Kill him? -I warn you -I told you, I was defending myself.
The point is what are you going to do about it? This whole thing's getting out of hand.
I I just don't know.
Well, then, I'll tell you.
Keep the Doctor here a prisoner.
You have no alternative.
By the way, is the girl with him? Yes.
She was going to leave, but I had her stopped at the main entrance.
Good.
Then there's nothing to worry about.
The keys! I've got to get back to the naval base.
It's urgent.
Sorry, miss.
Orders.
Take her back inside.
Well, don't just sit there.
Get after her.
Have you any idea why Colonel Trenchard is taking orders from the Master? Look, man, I'm talking to you.
Very well.
Now, then, Doctor, I'm afraid you're in very serious trouble.
I've been giving this matter some thought.
I'm going to hold you here until the whole thing's cleared up.
Is that what the Master told you to say? You've attacked a government employee and tried to harm a prisoner under my care and protection.
I've done no such thing.
The Master knocked that guard out himself, as you very well know.
And as for this UNIT pass of yours, I believe it's a forgery.
That's absolute rubbish.
Anybody at UNIT headquarters will vouch for me.
If you'll permit me to use the telephone Prisoners are not allowed to make telephone calls.
Colonel Trenchard, why are you allowing the Master to use you like this? All right, take him away.
Look, you're jeopardising your entire career.
I have nothing further to say to you.
The interview is over.
Didn't anybody else warn you about the Master? Whatever he's told you, it's all lies.
You'll be well treated as long as you behave yourself.
-You really think you can keep me here? -This is no ordinary prison.
If you attempt to escape, the guards will shoot to kill.
I see.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Trenchard.
What? Then find her.
Now! -I've got him under lock and key.
-Just a minute.
-Under lock and key, eh? Good.
-Yes.
-The girl, too? -What a fascinating contraption! I asked about the girl.
Oh, little mishap on the way back here.
She got away.
And by now is, no doubt, running straight back to the naval base.
Oh, no fear of that.
She'll never get out of the grounds.
Guards will pick her up at any moment.
-I hope that you're right.
-Oh, no doubt about it.
Nevertheless, we need to work very fast from now on.
Trenchard, I need your fullest cooperation.
-Tell me, where is the Doctor? -In a security cell.
Send him to me, will you? I want a word with him.
I can't give you much to go on, I'm afraid, but I believe there's something down there.
Your submarine's fitted with the new experimental sonar.
-It'll give you a chance to try it out.
-What are we looking for, sir? I wish I knew.
The man we took off the fort was babbling something about sea devils.
Oh, don't you think this is getting a bit out of hand, sir? -Ships have vanished at sea before.
-I'm well aware of that.
To be exact, 70 in the last 1 0 years.
But we've lost three all in the same area in the last few weeks.
We'll do what we can to find your sea devils, sir.
I want you to signal me a full report the moment you resurface.
Yes, sir.
-All right, carry on.
-Thank you, sir.
-And good luck.
-Thank you, sir.
-Excuse me, sir? -Yes? I was just wondering about Miss Grant and the Doctor.
Shouldn't they be back by now? All right, Doctor.
Come along in.
Ah, Doctor.
Good of you to spare me a few moments.
I hadn't really anything better to do.
Yes.
Time does hang heavy when one is a prisoner.
-Would you care to sit down? -Thank you.
Right.
How very kind of you.
How very unkind of you.
Right, I'll leave you to have your little chat.
There will be a guard outside at all times.
I'm very relieved to hear it.
No doubt, Doctor, you're wondering why I sent for you.
Your usual childish desire to gloat, perhaps? -How much have you told UNIT? -Everything.
I sent them a full report as soon as Miss Grant spotted you at the naval base.
And yet you came back here to investigate in person.
Interesting.
You know, I wonder whether you're telling me the truth.
You'll find out soon enough.
You realise, of course, that I could kill you here and now? And how would you explain that away to Colonel Trenchard? I'm hardly in a position to attack you now, am I? Do you think I really care what Trenchard thinks? Whatever you're up to, you still need Trenchard's cooperation.
You're still a prisoner here, you know.
My dear Doctor, I can walk out of here any time I choose.
Then why don't you? Because this place makes a good base for my operations.
You see, I'm planning to contact our reptilian friends.
-How do you know about them? -Oh, from the Time Lords' files.
-More stolen information? -Naturally.
Well, why do you want to contact them? Those reptiles, Doctor, were once the rulers of this Earth.
And with my help, they can be so again.
Entering the specified zone now, sir.
About to dive.
Very well.
Standing by for your report.
Carry on.
-Excuse me, sir? -Yes.
What is it? I hope you don't mind, but I telephoned Colonel Trenchard about the UNIT people.
He said they'd both gone back to London.
Oh, I see.
But they didn't bring the Land Rover back, sir.
Colonel Trenchard said they took a taxi to the quay.
You'd better send someone to collect it.
Yes, sir, but why take a taxi when they could have used the Land Rover, and, well Well, go on.
Well, sir, surely they'd have come back here before leaving the island? -Keep 50 feet.
-Aye, aye, sir.
-Stand by to blow Q.
Stand by to blow Q.
-Blow Q.
-Blow Q.
Up periscope.
Right, Number One, stand by to start your sonar watch.
Aye, aye, sir.
Er, what are we looking for, sir? I don't know.
-Maybe we'll know when we find it.
-Sir.
I still don't see why you want to help them.
What can you possibly gain? The pleasure of seeing the human race exterminated, Doctor.
The human race of which you are so fond.
Believe me, that'll be a reward in itself.
-The governor wants to see you, sir.
-In a moment.
-He wants to see you now, sir.
-Better run along, old chap.
You're still a prisoner here, you know.
You'll never get it off the ground.
Captain Hart's car's been spotted heading for the main gate.
He must have guessed something's up.
What am I to do? Use your intelligence, Trenchard.
Bluff him.
Anyone out there? -I said, is there anyone out there? -Please be quiet, sir.
Look, guard.
I want to talk to you.
I said I want to talk to you! What's all the noise about, sir? How much longer am I going to be kept chained up like this? What about the Geneva Convention? You'll have to stay here till someone tells me different, sir.
What about some food, then? I'm sure they didn't tell you to starve me to death.
You'll be fed when the time comes.
You tell Colonel Trenchard that I want to see him straight away.
He's got no right to keep me here like this.
Look, sir, you're a lot better off here than in one of the cells, so please be quiet, sir.
There's nothing more I can tell you, old chap.
I'm as puzzled as you are.
Just called for a taxi and off they went.
I see.
But Miss Grant was sure she'd caught sight of your prisoner at the base.
Absolutely ridiculous! This place is totally secure.
Oh, just take a look at the alarm system.
There.
And you see, George, you did drop in on me at exactly the time of the robbery.
My dear chap, you're scarcely suggesting that I pinched your wretched material? Don't understand the stuff.
Tried to make myself a crystal set once when I was a lad, never got it to work.
Well, then, would it be possible to see your prisoner? Oh, strictly against the rules.
No one can see him without a special pass.
Completely incommunicado.
Oh, surely we can stretch the rules, George? This is important.
Well, all right, old chap, seeing it's you.
-Take a look at him on this.
-Thank you.
There you are.
Well, I suppose the Doctor must have been wrong.
Well, of course he was.
Seemed a pretty cranky sort of fellow to me.
-Um -Time for a quick one? No.
I should be going, George.
Yes, yes, of course, I realise how busy you are.
Well, thank you.
-Look here, George -The guard will see you out.
-Yes, thank you.
-Bye, John.
-Anything, Number One? -Er, no, sir.
Nothing, nothing at all.
-Well, keep trying, old chap.
-Sir.
Er, we have a contact, sir.
-What the blazes is that? -It's gone crazy, sir.
-Get on to the sonar maintenance.
-Aye aye, sir.
-It's packed up, sir.
-It's gone dead, sir.
What the devil's going on? Manoeuvring room here, sir.
Loss of essential power supplies.
Reporting, sir.
Loss of essential power supplies! Loss of essential supplies! I repeat.
No essential power supplies.
Well, Trenchard.
I think that you handled Captain Hart exceedingly well.
I can't keep it up, you know.
The lies I've told.
How long before that device of yours is ready? -Oh, just a few hours now.
-What exactly is it? It's a perfect replica of the communications device used by the enemy agents.
We are going to use it to lure them into a trap.
Well, I only hope it works.
If it doesn't, I'm for it, you know.
Oh, it'll work, don't you worry about that.
Just think of it, Trenchard.
You will be responsible for exposing some of the most dangerous saboteurs this country has ever known.
I think you'll find that a grateful government will give you anything that you ask for.
Oh, don't want any reward, of course.
Just doing my duty.
Yes, of course.
I'd better get back to my quarters.
This Doctor fellow, have you finished with him? For the time being, yes.
Oh, by the way, what about the girl? Have they caught her yet? Grounds are very large, you know.
Only a matter of time, though.
-She can't get away.
-I hope you're right.
Um It might be better if one of the guards were to take me back.
Huh? Oh, yes, of course.
Must keep up appearances, what? Guard? Guard! Guard.
Guard! I want to talk to you.
What's wrong now, sir? These handcuffs, they're far too tight.
They're killing me.
I'm under strict instructions, sir, that they're to be kept on -After you.
-No.
After you.
No, no.
After you.
-Anything from the sub? -No, sir.
Look here, Blythe, you'd better get on to UNIT and see if they've any news yet -of the Doctor and Miss Grant's return.
-Right, sir.
What's happened? It would appear that Miss Grant has succeeded in releasing the Doctor.
This is appalling.
It'll ruin everything.
Exactly.
That's why you've got to find them! It's no good, sir.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with the engines.
-We've run a complete check on them.
-And we're still going down.
-What do we do now, sir? -Keep working on the engines.
There's nothing wrong with them, sir.
There's nothing wrong with any part of this boat.
We've checked everything.
Then check again.
-Divers? -That's impossible.
There's something out there, sir.
Forward section here, sir.
We're being attacked.
This is the captain.
What's happening? Someone's coming in, sir, through the escape compartments.
Shut off forward and aft's escape compartments.
-Aye, aye, sir.
-What's happening, man? They're coming in, sir! They're Understand this.
They've got to be found.
They're two dangerous enemy agents.
Use every available man.
Ground to control.
Subjects entering sector 2 7.
Yes, yes, all right.
They're making for the beach, towards the minefield.
No doubt they're trying to rejoin their associates at sea.
-Right.
We must head them off.
-No.
Let them get to the beach.
But we've got to catch them.
We shall.
This device is now ready for testing.
We shall use it to trap them all together.
Come on, Jo.
Come on! Doctor, look!
