Doctor Who (1963) s09e14 Episode Script
The Sea Devils, Part Six
Doctor, do you think you're doing the right thing? I'm doing the only thing possible, Captain Hart, if we're to avoid a major conflict.
Suppose they won't listen to you? Doctor! All right, Captain Hart, get these two out of here.
Doctor, look out! No! No, take them inside.
Dear, oh dear, Doctor, will you never learn? Now, Doctor, for your information, the capture of this naval base is the first step in the return of this planet to its rightful owners.
Right, bring him in, will you? How do you hope to achieve that? As you know, our friends here have underground and underwater bases all over the world.
Well, I propose to reactivate them.
Well, you haven't reactivated them yet, have you? Erm, not yet, no.
But I can, with your help.
I wondered why I was still alive.
I advise you not to give me any trouble, Doctor.
Not if you value the life of every man on this base.
It's no good! They've cut the power supply! Shh! Look, there's still some of them in there.
This is monstrous! What are you going to do about it, Captain Hart? Captain Hart, what about this? Yes, we should be able to open it.
But I could never get through the ventilation shaft up there.
No, but I could.
-The table.
-Right.
Here.
What What are you doing? We're going to put this table underneath that ventilation hatch and try to open it.
Yeah, but supposing you get caught? They might take reprisals against the innocent! A screwdriver.
Jo, over there, on the bench somewhere.
Right.
Don't you think we ought to leave these things to the Doctor? He said we ought to cooperate with them.
Tool kit! Underneath! Underneath the bench! Look, he's He's not going to try and trick them, is he? -Shh! -That's it.
This could have the most dreadful consequences! He He He made them a promise, you know.
Yes, in order to save our lives! Now, do you mind? Now then, Doctor, my problem is this.
During millions of years of hibernation, the reactivation machinery has deteriorated.
I now find it necessary to build a trigger mechanism for it.
And how do you hope to do that? Well, by constructing a sonar device analogous to the laser.
With this, I can not only pinpoint and revive the base by the sea fort, but every other base in the world.
And you've convinced your reptilian friends that this will work? You know it'll work, with your cooperation.
All the equipment we need is here.
Yes.
Yes, I suppose it's possible.
I've drawn up some preliminary plans here.
There.
Good grief! What on Earth do you think you're doing? What is the matter? Well, this circuit here, it's completely misplaced.
And also, you'll need far more power through to your main dipode.
Give me a pencil, will you? -There you are.
-Thank you.
And you think you can correct this fault? Yes, I think so, given time.
Now then, let's see.
Are you Are you really going to let a mere child risk her life? Well, I could never get through that ventilation shaft.
Would you like to try? Come on, Jo.
Now, once you're through the shaft, there's a hatch that comes out onto the roof of this building.
-Okay.
-Are you ready? That's it.
Doctor? Oh, I need a polarising condenser.
-Oh, allow me.
-Oh, thank you.
Come on, Doctor! Hurry! Come on! Now, Jo, listen to me.
In a few minutes' time, I'm going to create a diversion.
As soon as it starts, you try and get Hart and the others out.
-But what about the guards? -Don't worry about the guards.
You leave them to me.
You hurry back there and wait for the off.
Okay.
-Well, Doctor? -How about a little test? Right, here goes.
-What the blazes? -The Doctor's doing it.
Now, come on.
Quickly, please! We must find the hovercraft pilot.
It's all right, come on! Switch the power off! What happened? I must have had the frequency too high.
Sorry about that.
Ah, no, I see what it is.
I had the output jack in the input socket.
There.
Yeah, that should work all right now.
We shan't know for sure till we get it back to their base -and build it into their power system.
-We? Yes, Doctor.
You're coming with me.
Oh, I see.
This noise, what has been happening? Teething troubles, that's all.
It must not happen again.
Is the work completed? Yes, I've now finished.
Then we shall return to our base.
Do you want him killed now? No.
He might yet prove useful.
Well, Doctor? Shall we go? If you insist.
Guard them.
Keep them safe.
I must alert the others.
Well, it seems as if things aren't quite going according to plan.
Look, we must break out of here! I've got to get this device down to your base.
Myers, check that storeroom! -Looks all right.
-Look out behind you! Would one of you gentlemen be the Doctor? Yes, I am.
This man is an extremely dangerous criminal, so guard him well.
Now, have you seen Captain Hart and Miss Grant? -I'm not sure, sir.
-Right, I'd better go and find them.
-Right, I'll stay with this bloke.
-Yeah, do that.
And watch him! There's been a misunderstanding here, you know.
I'm not the man that you want.
There's been a mistake.
You understand? A mistake.
A mistake! -Have you seen Jo Grant anywhere? -She's on the beach.
I'm sorry, Doctor.
Now, perhaps you'll admit I was right all along? Massive nuclear strike, it's the only way.
But not until we know what's happened to the Doctor! Excuse me, sir.
I've just seen Lieutenant Scott.
He said he saw the Doctor heading out to sea.
Gone to join his friends! Gone over to the other side! He seemed to be chasing another boat.
He must have been after the Master.
Well, be that as it may, they'll both have to take their chances.
I'm going to put an end to these creatures right away.
Kindly get me the Minister on the phone.
I'm going to request that we launch a nuclear strike.
Now.
We want revenge on the human species.
Many of my people have been killed.
It was a necessary sacrifice.
You said man was weak.
So he is.
Soon you can surge from the seas in your millions and exterminate him.
Don't listen to him.
Why begin a long and bloody war where thousands will be killed on both sides? We shall destroy man and reclaim the planet.
Is there nothing I can say to make you reconsider? Nothing! I'm sorry.
Is the machine ready? It is.
Then activate it.
Allow me, Doctor.
We don't want any accidents this time.
The power may take some time to build up, you know.
I suggest you now dispose of this man! Take them both to the cages! What's the meaning of this? I'm your ally! Both, I say! Take them! I helped you! I helped you! Look, I demand that you take me back to your chief! Immediately! You seem to be losing your touch! Once they see that the device works properly, they'll release me.
I very much doubt it.
You see, before you reactivated it, I reversed the polarity of the neutron flow.
You did what? You realise what will happen? Oh, yes.
Do you? Well, there'll be a massive reverse feedback into their whole power system! Exactly.
In about, erm, the whole place should go up.
Enjoy your revenge.
Guards! Guards, come back! You must release me! I must talk to your chief! Let me out! We're all in danger! Let me out! You're wasting your time, you know.
Even if they heard you, they couldn't do anything about it.
Why? Well, I built a self-destruct mechanism into the main control switch.
You can't turn it off.
But we'll both be killed.
That's right.
Unless we can both escape.
Ship's moving into position now, sir.
Very well.
This time we'll continue the attack until those creatures are finally destroyed.
Now, how about some tea? You see? Come on.
Well, just as I told you.
Submarine escape equipment.
Now, all we've got to do is find the airlock.
Airlock? Yes, there must be one around here somewhere.
Otherwise, how else can we get down in those capsules? Here you are, put this on.
Ah, thank you, my dear.
Ah-ha! Smoked salmon.
Delicious! Won't be long now.
Suppose the Doctor manages to escape from that place? Not much chance, I'm afraid.
Yes, but just suppose.
Get a high speed hovercraft over that area.
I want a complete sweep before the attack.
Aye, aye, sir.
This device is causing the power to overload.
Large underwater explosions reported, sir.
What? Has the attack started already? No, sir, before the attack.
And they've picked up two survivors.
One of them's in a bad way.
They've radioed for an ambulance to stand by.
-Did they Did they say who? -No, miss.
They said someone was hurt? It's the Master.
He collapsed soon after they picked us up.
Well then, Doctor, what happened? I managed to destroy their base for you.
Thank goodness.
Well done! Well, I did what I had to to prevent a war.
He's dead.
We were too late.
The doctor in the hovercraft said so.
Doctor? What doctor? I must obey I must obey I must obey I must obey I must obey I must obey I must obey I must obey
