Dr. Who and the Daleks Page #4

one of your people instead,

they might return the piece of equipment

they took from me.

- Take her to the Daleks.

- You can't...

You cannot do this!

- I thought you were our friends!

- You see? You will fight for something.

The neutron bomb will be ready

for explosion in one hour.

Good.

In one hour,

we will be sole masters of this planet.

The city is surrounded

on three sides by rock walls.

The fourth side is protected

by mountains and a deadly swamp.

Deadly?

Five of us

went looking for food there one day.

Only my brother and I came back.

- What happened to the others?

- We found them. What was left of them.

The swamp is alive with mutations.

It's a perfect defence for the city.

If we could get through that way,

we could take the Daleks by surprise.

It'll be too dangerous for all of us.

But we'll send a small party that way,

led by our brave friend.

The rest will come with us

to try to find a way to approach the city.

You will go with him

through the swamp.

Hey!

All right.

What have you to report?

Our long-range scanners

detect movement by the Thals.

A large party

is approaching the city walls.

Bring defence plan seven into operation.

Alert all sections.

Another group is moving

towards the rear of the city.

They cannot pass. They will die.

- We'll never get through!

- We must try.

- It's full of mutations!

- You keep your fears to yourself!

I don't want you upsetting the others.

Right, come on!

Oh, can't we rest

just a minute?

All right, rest.

Oh, I could do with a wash.

Hey! Hey!

- I saw a great big thing in the water!

- What was it?

I don't know.

I didn't wait to find out.

- Are you all right?

- Look!

The Daleks

must get their water from here.

The pipes must go

straight through the mountain,

perhaps into the city of the Daleks.

If we could find that way...

I'll fill the water bags.

We'll need them. I'll catch you up.

Right, come on!

- Oh!

- Help! Get me out!

Get me out!

Stay with her.

You, come with me.

What's happened to Elyon?

Where is he?

Let's get out of here.

Come on!

The Daleks have the entire city

surrounded with electronic instruments.

Now, to get past the walls of the city,

we must find a way of approaching them

- without being detected.

- But you're a man of science.

Surely you can think of a way.

Yes, yes,

but it's not all that easy, young man.

Well, we're lucky

they don't go underground.

We can follow them

straight over the mountain.

- How are we going to do that?

- We'll climb.

Climb?

I was only thinking about Barbara.

Come on!

This is the final battle.

When we explode the neutron bomb,

there will be more radiation

on this planet

than even the Thals with their drug

can survive.

Destroy the Thals!

Tonight we will complete the war

which our ancestors should have won

many centuries ago.

Destroy the Thals!

Do you think

we're almost there yet?

I don't know.

All we can do is follow the pipes.

We must be

over the worst of it by now, huh?

Right, come on.

Ganatus.

- I...

- Yes?

- I want to go back.

- We must get to the city!

They could have scanners here.

I'm going back.

- No, you're not!

- We'll be killed! We won't defeat them!

What have you been doing?

Now there can be no question

of going back!

Grandfather!

I told you to watch the cakes!

- Now you've burnt them!

- Oh, yes, the cakes. The cakes!

Madam!

Pardon me, please.

May I borrow that just for a moment?

Thank you so much.

Young man, do you have

any more of these mirrors?

- Why, yes.

- Get them, please.

- Collect as many as you can.

- Why?

They may be our way

of getting into the city.

Ooh!

Here.

- What are you going to do?

- Jump it.

We'll use this as a safety line.

I'll go first.

Now you.

I think I need a longer run.

Don't worry, it's easy.

Catch!

Coming over.

You must jump. It's the only way.

Now catch it!

Don't worry, it's perfectly safe.

Look, I'll catch you.

Oh, no!

Short-wave light radiations.

That should confuse their detectors.

They are attacking our instruments.

Move. We can take them by surprise.

Stay where you are.

Do not move.

Do not move. Do not move.

You are our prisoners.

No, Antodus! No!

Hey! Get me out of here!

- He's all right!

- Oh, what a relief!

But why must you destroy the Thals?

Why can't you live together in peace

and share your knowledge?

We will be the rulers here.

We will share nothing.

We will explode the neutronic bomb.

Begin the countdown.

No!

'1 00.

'99.

'98.'

The Doctor and his granddaughter

have been taken prisoner by the Daleks.

- Now it is up to us!

- What can we do?

We can fight!

'68.'

The Thals are moving

towards the city once more.

But it does not matter now.

In a few minutes,

they will all be dead.

Wait! I have something to tell you.

You do not know

how we came to this planet.

I have a machine which is capable of

crossing the barriers of time and space.

I will tell you its secrets

if you do not explode the bomb.

We do not believe you are capable

of creating such a machine.

- It's true!

- You took a vital part of it from me.

Examine it. You will see that it must

belong to some complicated machine.

- I have it here.

- '52.'

Where is the machine?

In the petrified forest outside the city.

Good. We will examine it

and use it to conquer other planets.

But you could not operate it without me.

We will find a way.

'43.

'42.

'41 .'

How do we get in?

'37.

'36.

'35.'

Thals in city. Thals here.

Emergency.

Stay where you are.

You are trapped.

Stay where you are.

You cannot get away.

Stay where you are!

Come down! Come down at once!

Prisoners escaping.

Reporting to upper level control.

'Four Thals are moving

to control room level.

'Intercept them.'

'29.'

Attention.

Four Thals moving

to upper control room level.

- '27.'

- Destroy them.

Stay where you are.

You cannot get away.

You are trapped.

- Alydon!

- There were no Daleks at the walls.

- We came into the city easily.

- Then there must be a reason.

'24.

'23.'

Ian, no!

Come on!

Barbara! Look behind you!

Lad!

Stop the countdown!

The bomb will destroy the planet!

Daleks!

- Susie, are you all right?

- What happened?

- Barbara.

- They're all dead.

Yes.

That's my lucky number.

All set for home.

Let's say goodbye to our friends.

Come along.

Quite a reception.

You saved our people

from the rule of the Daleks.

We do not have much

with which to thank you,

but we would like you to take these

to remember us.

- How very kind of you.

- Thank you.

Thank you so much.

We will treasure them.

Thank you.

- Goodbye.

- Goodbye.

- Bye.

- Goodbye.

- Goodbye.

- Goodbye.

- Goodbye!

- Goodbye.

- Goodbye.

- Goodbye.

- Goodbye!

- Goodbye.

You'll look pretty funny

wearing that in London.

Hey!

Thank you, Barbara.

Oh! And now we will return

to our own time and place.

- Thank goodness for that.

- Just push the lever, lad.

Ah. Now if you'll open the door,
