Doctor Who (1963) s15e26 Episode Script
The Invasion of Time, Part Six
( DOCTOR WHO THEME) We're being thrown into a black star! (TARDIS WHOOSHING) Doctor! Doctor! -Get Rodan.
Get Rodan.
-Rodan? What has happened? He has stabilised, thrown the fail-safe switch in his time capsule.
With what effect? The capsule is fixed in its present state for eternity till he throws off the fail-safe switch.
-So, he is trapped? -Yes, Excellency.
The Great Key.
Could have done so much with the Great Key.
No one may enter or leave this solid-state capsule? I have entrance probes for all time capsules, sir.
Bring the relevant probe with you.
Quick, lock the door! Without that, no one can reset the systems.
-Where are the others? -In the bathroom.
-The bathroom? -Yes, in the bathroom.
You got lost, didn't you? Well, it's bigger than it looks, your Tardis.
The mighty huntress got her Don't you think she got lost? -How do you know? -I think you got lost.
-You gave me the wrong directions.
-Come on.
You got lost.
How could you expect me to follow those directions? -You got lost! -Doctor! This machine is a load of obsolete rubbish.
This model was withdrawn centuries ago.
Make the systems function again.
(STAMMERING) But I'm not an engineer, sir Make it work, or you'll die.
Well? He has fastened it with some kind of locking device from the other side, sir.
He's trapped in here now, and this is the only way out.
I will open it, sir.
Then we shall have them.
He has the Great Key.
I want him captured intact, but unharmed.
After that, I will deal with him personally.
All right, let's walk.
Nothing to worry about, I've got a wonderful sense of direction.
I've got a perfect sense of direction.
-I thought you said you had a good -Shh! -Where are we? -The storeroom on 2 3-A.
-And where are we going? -The workshop.
-Has he got a workshop onboard? -Of course I have.
Come on! What nobody understands is, the advantage of my antiquated Tardis is that it's fully equipped and completely reliable.
-Completely? -Yes.
(SNAPPING SOUND) Yeah, well Well, almost completely.
-Where are we now? -The service tunnel, Blue Section 25.
Everything's going to be all right, you just follow me.
Odd.
I could have sworn I've been here before.
-We have.
-Oh.
Oh.
I must be in level 2 3-B.
Well, wherever we are, it could do with a lick of paint.
Lick of paint? Yes, clean it up a bit.
You know, redecoration Listen! I'm a Time Lord, not a painter and decorator.
-I'm preoccupied with -Sontarans? Yes, Sontarans, Daleks -Don't get excited.
-What did you say? -I said, don't get excited.
-I'm not getting excited! I'm not -(WHISPERING) Doctor! -(WHISPERING) What is it? You are getting excited.
No, I'm not.
-Would you get off my scarf, please? -Doctor, we've been here before.
-Nonsense.
-Déjà vu.
-Déjà what? -Déjà vu.
It's a common thing among time-travellers.
There you are.
-We have been here before.
-Rodan, tell her she's wrong.
-Doctor, she's absolutely right.
-What? We just travelled this route Nonsense.
I know this Tardis like the back of my hand.
Come on.
That clock's slow.
(BUZZING) Come on, we can't sit around here all day.
-You just said you wanted a rest! -I did.
I've just had one.
-Let's go and find K9.
-K9! (BEEPING) If I had a dog like you in my unit, I'd make him a sergeant.
Why you can't use a perfectly modern No character.
-Doctor.
-Yes? We have been here before.
Nonsense.
Storeroom 14-D.
Onward! -It's impossible, sir.
-Why? Well, it's obvious.
You see, the Doctor has removed the primary refraction tube from his fail-safe controls.
With that circuit broken, well, no one can reactivate the Tardis.
So, I cannot destroy the Tardis and the Doctor cannot escape? Stalemate.
Hello, boy, how's it going? Nothing is going anywhere, master.
A state of perfect inertia.
I know we're not going anywhere.
I don't like the idea of inertia being perfect.
Little K9.
-Is it clear? -At full capacity, Excellency.
Just as you ordered.
(ALARM SOUNDING) What is it? Early warning.
Something's broken in upstairs.
We will do battle on your own ground, Doctor.
-Master.
-Leela, the key I gave you.
-Of course.
-Can I have it, please? Thank you.
Rodan, look at me.
You are now in a state of deep hypnosis.
Can you hear me? -Yes.
-Rodan, you will help K9.
You will do whatever he tells you.
When K9 asks you for this key, you will give it to him.
You will not give the key to anyone else.
You understand? -Yes.
-Good.
Watch the door.
-Come on.
We're relying on you, K9.
-Master.
One rod of Type-3 iridium alloy, one metre in length.
Coming up.
(MUMBLING) Sorry, the lift's out of order.
(SHUSHING) (WHISPERING) What did you say? I said, I'm sorry the lift's out of order.
Oh.
-Where are we going? -Going to the bathroom, of course.
To the bathroom? (TRACER HUMMING) Very clever, Doctor.
What is it, sir? The Doctor has set up a biological barrage.
My instrument cannot trace human life forms.
We must return to his control room and eliminate this barrier.
Wait, sir! There is another way.
If I can trace the ancillary generator that powers this barrier Can you do this? I believe I can, sir.
Then you will be well rewarded.
Lead on.
(ELECTRONIC HUM) (FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING) I've kept you waiting, Chancellor.
-I've kept you waiting, Chancellor.
-I'm quite comfortable, thank you.
Good.
I had nothing to do with this, I promise you.
Chancellor, you know about the Rod of Rassilon.
Yes.
And you know about the Sash of Rassilon.
Yes.
And especially, you know about the Great Key.
Yes.
Therefore, it would be very bad for us if you were to fall into the hands of the Sontarans.
No breeding, you see.
It's not just a question of breeding, surely.
Oh, but it is, it is.
I assure you, Chancellor, it is.
They're a clone species, you see.
They can multiply at the rate of a million every four minutes.
Shall we go? -I think so.
-Good.
Pick a door.
Any door.
Ready? Leave! (GASPS) Come on.
I wish you'd stabilise your pedestrian infrastructure, President.
What? Come on.
Pull yourself together, Borusa.
Hello, Sickbay.
Quick, curtains.
Lock the door, Andred.
(GRUNTING IN FRUSTRATION) -Let's get out of here.
-You go on, I'll hold them off.
With what? We must catch the others.
We'll go my way.
Come on.
-What is it? -Sorry about this.
I'm not gonna be much good to you now.
-Leela? -Yes? Take these two back to the workshop.
You know the way.
Well, as well as I did last time.
It's along there on the left.
Second on the left, up two stages Don't worry, Doctor.
I'll find my own way.
Good.
Bye-bye.
-Oh, no! -Where are we? Déjà vu.
Back where we started.
(DOCTOR IMITATING BIRD CALLS) (BLASTING) (IMITATING BIRD CALLS) (BUZZING) (BLASTING) (SQUEAKING) (BLASTING) Come on, Doctor.
You've got a perfect sense of direction.
(WHISTLING) (ELECTRONIC WHIRRING) -I could not -Explanations will wait.
My orders are clear.
You will follow this fool and destroy the power unit he will show you.
I have other duties.
-Doctor.
-Yes? -Have you defeated them? -No.
-We've got to get to the workshop.
-Workshop? Yes, the workshop.
Come on.
How beautiful.
What is this place? Ancillary power station.
(ELECTRONIC WHIRRING) (BEEPS) Now, try your tracer.
(ELECTRONIC HUMMING) The humanoids are three levels below.
-Finished? -Yes, it's finished.
Where is it? Give me the key.
Wake up, Rodan.
Give me the key.
What is it? No! You know how helpless we are against the Sontarans? I forbid you to use it.
You should never have constructed it.
But what is it? It's the ultimate weapon, the de-mat gun.
-That's impossible! -You built it under hypnosis.
But how to arm it, hmm? Is that why the key remained hidden for so long? Huh? (ELECTRONIC HUM) I could rule the universe with this, Chancellor.
Is that what you want? Destroy that gun.
Destroy all knowledge of it! It will throw us back to the darkest age! No, Chancellor.
Forward! No, Leela.
Wait, wait! Don't kill him.
Kelner, where's Stor? -Kill him.
-Oh! Oh! -He's in the Panopticon.
-The Borusa, the Matrix! Hold it, Stor.
Doctor.
(TICKING) This grenade will give me a lot of pleasure.
-You'll destroy us all.
-Yes.
It is a glory to die for a glorious Sontaran empire.
-But you'll destroy this entire galaxy.
-Yes.
And all of the Time Lords with it.
-And your battlefield.
-Yes, Doctor.
But it is a small price to pay.
If we cannot control the power of the Time Lords, then we shall destroy it.
Goodbye, Doctor.
COMMANDER: Leela! Listen.
(HEAVY FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING) -Hello, Leela.
Put it away.
-Oh, Doctor.
Borusa, what are you doing here? Your Excellence Excellence? Excellence? Is this some kind of a joke, Borusa? It's not like you to make jokes.
Have you forgotten your induction? My induction? The Vardans? -Vardans.
-The Sontarans? (STAMMERS) Doctor, you saved Gallifrey.
I have? Oh.
-Oh, what do you think of that, Leela? -I think you've gone mad.
Hmm? He remembers nothing of it.
It is the wisdom of Rassilon.
(PEOPLE APPLAUDING) Well Ta-ta, everybody.
Come on, Leela.
Come on.
What's the matter? -I'm staying.
-What? Staying? Here? Why? Ah, I see.
-I hope that -Yes, I'm sure you do hope.
She'll look after you.
She's terribly good with a knife.
-Come on, K9.
-Negative, I remain.
-Here? -Affirmative.
-Why? -To look after the mistress.
(STAMMERS) Hmm.
-Doctor.
-Yes? I will miss you.
I'll miss you too, savage.
(WHOOSHING) Where will he go now, I wonder.
Somewhere else.
Will he be lonely, K9? Insufficient data, mistress.
Get Rodan.
-Rodan? What has happened? He has stabilised, thrown the fail-safe switch in his time capsule.
With what effect? The capsule is fixed in its present state for eternity till he throws off the fail-safe switch.
