Doctor Who (1963) s21e12 Episode Script

(DOCTOR WHO THEME) Look! - (MAN) What is it? - A Dalek.
Take cover! ExterminateI ExterminateI ExterminateI - Where did they come from? - The Time Corridor.
- Your ship? - Must be.
- What do they want? - Let's not find out.
Aim for the eyepiece on the dome.
My vision is impairedI I cannot seeI My vision is impairedI I cannot seeI - Quickly! - I cannot seeI I cannot seeI WarningI WarningI My vision is impairedI - Open the door! - I cannot seeI I cannot seeI WarningI EmergencyI She's all right.
We should get her downstairs.
While you're doing that, I'd like a hand with the debris outside.
The Dalek sent to the warehouse has been destroyed.
How is that possible? The Doctor was aided by the Earth soldiers.
Seal the warehouse terminal of the Time Corridor.
We will deal with the Doctor in due course.
- Where are we going? - Keep your mask down.
- There could still be gas around.
- So what? I'd rather die quickly.
How long are we going to wander around? As far as we know, there are only four of us still alive.
- We can't fight the Daleks alone.
- You wanted to fight to the end.
Look where it got me.
A dead crew.
Then don't let it be for nothing.
What can we do? Have you forgotten this station has a self-destruct system? (BLEEPS) (BLEEPS) He's very still.
Is he dead? I think not.
(INHALES DEEPLY) Soon be ready.
We could do with something stronger.
- How's your friend upstairs? - He's dead.
- How is she? - She's sleeping naturally.
(CALDER) Tea, sir? (ARCHER) Thank you.
Who discovered these cylinders? Builders converting the warehouse into flats.
Thought they were unexploded bombs.
- Have you tried to open one? - Haven't even scratched it.
Have the Daleks anything to do with this? It would be an enormous coincidence if they didn't.
Who are you? - Commander Lytton.
- Commander?I - My Daleks do not need troopsI - You'd be in prison without my men.
You speak as though my Daleks are no longer capable of war.
A lot has happened during your imprisonment.
The war with the Movellans is over? Yes, although casualties were very high.
It is to be expected.
I'm talking about Dalek casualties.
Dalekcasualties?I They lost, Davros.
They were totally defeated.
(SCREECHES) (COUGHS) (RADIO STATIC) - Keep trying.
- You must get reinforcements.
I can't conjure them out of the air.
I need a telephone.
- I'll go.
You're needed here.
- It's more than a military matter.
I have to speak to the MOD.
We'll need massive troop involvement.
I'll come with you.
You're the only one who knows anything about fighting Daleks.
Your duty's here.
(SQUEAKING) (DALEK) He is a companion of the Doctor.
(2nd DALEK) He should be destroyed.
He would be better used as bait.
The Doctor is sentimental and emotional.
He will come after the boy.
This will aid the Dalek plan.
Allow the boy to roam freely.
We'll rest for a moment.
Don't you get funny ideas? I'd give anything for a glass of spring water.
Quiet! Down! Fire! Careful.
Uniforms! Uniforms.
(SQUEAKING) Here.
Take these.
It'll help your head.
I won't be long.
I must get back to my ship.
- Sir - I must find Turlough.
- Yes, but wait for the Colonel.
- No, Turlough's on the Dalek ship.
- He won't be long.
- Let him go.
- I can't.
- (BLOOD-CURDLING SCREAM) (SCREAMS) Help! We're out of luck - be careful! - I was terrified it was a Dalek.
- It was.
The remains of one.
He's still alive.
We have to find it before it tries to kill again.
You all right? There are malfunctions in my life-support system.
- I require an engineer.
- We must board the Dalek ship.
I must remain close to my cryogenic chamber.
I may need to be re-frozen.
There is a time factor.
The space station transmitted a distress call.
It will take days for troops to arrive.
Not if the signal's been intercepted by a patrol ship.
Then you will shoot it downI I cannot be movedI Order an engineer to attend Davros.
We should leave here at once.
Without Davros, we have no future.
He must be made to believe that we serve him.
This is a waste of time.
The mutant could have used the Time Corridor.
True.
So why be so tentative in your search? - We don't know for certain.
- That's why we're searching - What does it look like? - You won't mistake it.
The moment you find it, it'll try and kill you.
Gentlemen, you've saved my life.
I'm Colonel Archer, Bomb Disposal Squad.
I have to make an urgent call.
May I use your radio? Please.
Thank you.
It's dead.
Tell me about the Dalek defeat.
You already know most of it.
The Daleks and the Movellans were locked in an impasse.
Each time one attempted a stratagem, it was anticipated and countered by their opponent's battle computer.
Two totally logical war machines unable to out-think each other? - FascinatingI If only I'd been there.
- The Movellans found the answer.
- (BLEEP) - Sorry, sir.
Quickly, tell me.
They developed a virus which exclusively attacks the Daleks.
The fleet was destroyed.
Those who survived fled to escape infection and work on a cure.
- Have they succeeded? - Not yet.
Sothey have returned to their creator.
Like an errant child, they have come home once more.
But this time, they will not abuse me.
This time, I shall take my rightful place as their supreme being, and under my control, the Daleks shall once more become triumphantI - Can you find an antidote? - Of course.
- Research has been done.
- I am Davros.
The Daleks are my creation.
If necessary, I shall genetically re-engineer them.
Have you finished? - Almost, sir.
- I will need a laboratory.
- There's one prepared for you.
- I shall work here on the station.
I've explained.
There isn't time.
I cannot risk an accident.
If the virus escaped on the Dalek ship - Every precaution has been taken.
- I work hereI Or not at all.
(SIGHS) I'll see what can be arranged.
Hurry.
There is much work to be done.
I've finished.
Close the panel.
(DALEK) I order you to obey Davros.
What happens when the task force arrives from Earth? We shall be gone.
I have a plan that will force Davros to leave of his own free will.
Until then, you must supply him with everything he demands.
Allow him access to the space station's laboratory.
(MAN SCREAMS) As you command.
- What happened? - A small accident.
- Are you all right? - I caught my hand.
It's nothing.
It isn't here.
We haven't found the entrance to the Time Corridor either.
Temporarily disconnected, I would think.
Doctor - What is it? - Nothing.
Nothing.
Go on with the search.
(MIAOWS) (CALDER) So much for the conqueror of the universe.
I told you it had gone.
(SCREAMS) - Is it dead? - Would you care to take a look? How is he? It's more shock than physical.
Come on, lad.
Let's get you downstairs.
- What happened? - The Dalek wasn't quite dead.
- Here.
- Give us a hand.
Of course.
I have to find the Dalek ship.
I'm not going back there.
They'll kill me.
- I need your help.
- You don't know what a coward I am.
You can take this opportunity to show me.
Come along.
- Kill him! - (STYLES) Wait.
Question him first.
What happened? What was that shooting? A small problem with a Dalek.
- He'd be more comfortable here.
- Stay there.
(CALDER) It looks superficial.
As long as there's no poison in it.
It was caused by an alien.
We don't know what may have entered his bloodstream.
The Colonel will be back soon.
We get them both to hospital.
Ninety years I was frozen in that.
Ninety years of mind-numbing boredom.
- You were conscious? - Every second.
The creatures of Earth have no stomach for judicial murder.
They prefer to leave you to slowly rot and die.
They call it being humane.
Then you must be equally humane in your revenge.
It is a planet I shall destroy at my leisure.
But first, I must deal with a meddling Time Lord.
- That's been anticipated.
- You have the Doctor? His capture is imminent.
ExcellentI Once I have drained his mind of all knowledge, he shall then die slowly and painfullyI He has interfered for the last time.
- Don't! - Don't look if it offends you.
- Look, he doesn't know anything.
- He's not one of the crew.
- He must be with the Daleks.
- I'm from Earth.
- Then, how did you get here? - The Daleks' Time Corridor.
- Do you believe that? - We know the Daleks are capable.
- So we're letting him go.
- No, but we're not waiting here for the Daleks to find us, either.
- Anyone want some tea? - No, thanks.
I'd rather have the Colonel back.
How much longer will he be? Hey, where are you going, lad? Come on.
You're excused duties (SOLDIER MOANS) - Are you all right? - Yeah.
You stay there.
What's that about? Activate the exit to the Time Corridor.
(OTHER DALEKS) We obey.
Come on, lad.
There's nothing to worry about.
It's only Sergeant Calder.
The Colonel's gone for an ambulance.
You'll be all right.
(ALL) ExterminateI ExterminateI ExterminateI ExterminateI ExterminateI ExterminateI ExterminateI ExterminateI - That was gunfire.
- Quickly! We should get out.
Quickly! There's nothing to worry about.
I'll inform him at once.
Your laboratory is ready.
Good.
I will require the assistance of a chemist.
- Of course.
- And Kiston.
He has proven to be a competent mechanical engineer.
As you wish.
- Guards? - An escort.
There are still some crew at large.
It's purely a precaution.
I am very difficult to kill.
You should already know that.
That's not Colonel Archer.
He gave the Doctor his gun belt, yet he's wearing one.
- What are you whispering about? - When will the ambulance arrive? - That is in hand.
- The reinforcements? That is a military matter and therefore confidential.
I don't think we'll wait for the ambulance.
This warehouse is under martial law.
Attempt to leave and I'll have you shot.
(BLEEPING) That's it.
I've located the Dalek ship.
I'll drop you off when I collect Tegan.
- I'll come with you.
- Good man.
(GRINDING) The Doctor's Tardis has been caught in the Time Corridor.
- Prepare the duplication room.
- I obey.
(WHOOSHING) Turlough? Turlough? Foolish boyShh! Quickly! Let's get out of here.
No, Doctor.
This is madness.
The Daleks won't thank you for capturing me.
They'll kill you.
I didn't quite tell the truth.
I serve the Daleks.
I'm a Dalek agent.
