All language subtitles for Doctor Who 1963-1996 Season 1 - 04 The Daleks in Colour_Track03

There's been a forest fire.

Everything is sort of white
and ashy.

A funny mist. The heat
must have been indescribable.

Look at this soil here.

Look at it!
It's all turned to sand and ashes.

Extraordinary!

How can shrubs or trees
grow in soil like that, hmm?

There's something else
that's strange.

There's quite a breeze blowing.

Well? Well, look
at the branches and things.

They don't seem to be moving.
They're absolutely still.

Extraordinary. We're not on
Earth, then. No. Certainly not.

Oh!

Like stone! Look!

Very brittle stone.

It crumbles when you touch it. Look.

It's petrified.

How fascinating! A petrified jungle.

It couldn't have been heat, then,
and age would merely decay.

What could have caused it,
Grandfather?

I don't know, I don't know.
But I intend to find out.

Well, I'm coming, too.

Ian, where are we? I don't know.

Why doesn't he take us back?

I'm not sure that he can.

What? Ever?

Oh, Grandfather, look!

It's a flower, a perfect flower.

It's even kept some of its colour.

Yes. Very pretty, very pretty.

Doctor! Over here!

What is it, Chesterton?

Most fascinating!

A city! A huge city!

Well, Doctor, can you see anything,
any sign of life?

No, no, no - no sign of life.

Just buildings.
Magnificent buildings.

Let me have a look.

Fabulous!

Whatever it was that destroyed
the vegetation here

certainly hasn't damaged the city.

But there's no sign of life,
no movement, no light...

No, I shall know more about it
when I've been down there.

Down there? Oh, no!

We're going back to the ship.
Now, don't be ridiculous.

That city down there is
a magnificent subject for study

and I intend to
thoroughly investigate it.

It's too late to talk about it now,
it's getting dark.

We'll discuss it when
we get back to the ship.

Oh, what's the matter?

I've suddenly got this
terrible headache. Oh, dear.

How irksome for you.

This stuff is very good.

This should cure it. Not too much.

It's very nice.

Let's hope it does you some good.

Susan, would you like something
to eat?

No, thanks. I'm not hungry.
That's unusual.

I think I'll go to bed now anyway.

Right. Do you want to know
where you can sleep? Oh, yes.

Shh! What's that?

The scanner!

Nothing. Not a thing.

Something must have made that noise!
Look, I've had enough of this.

Please, can't we get out of here?
I must see the city.

But why? I will not be questioned.

Uninvited passengers!
I didn't invite them to the ship.

I shall do what I want to do!

Why endanger the rest of us
by staying here?

Grandfather, please!

Please...

Stone trees are all very well.

The next forest I walk through, I
want them all to be made of wood.

What's the matter?

I don't know. Her fire take-up
was rising normally and her...

What's wrong?
Don't distract me, please.

Shall I trace it on the fault
locator? I think you'd better.

K-7. K-7.

Ah, yes, of course, the fluid link.

Yes, yes.

Yes.

Yes, there we are.
The end of it's unscrewed itself

and the fluid has run out.

Have you got a spare? Oh, no,
this is easily repaired.

All we have to do is refill it. Ah.

What liquid do you need? Mercury.

Mercury, ah! Can I get it for you?

No, I'm afraid you can't.
We haven't any at all. What?

No. Don't you carry a supply?

No, this hasn't happened before.

But you must have some
somewhere, surely!

No, no, we shall have
to get some from outside.

But where? There isn't
anything outside but the...

Yes.

There's the city.
Yes, the city, of course, of course.

We're bound to get some mercury
there. Yes, we're bound to.

Well, I mean,
what else can we do, hmm?

Seems we have no alternative.
We have to go to the city.

Yes, indeed.

At...first light, then?

Well, shall I lead?
Yes, by all means.

Look!

Don't touch it, it might go off.

Be careful.

What is it? I don't know.

Stand back, all of you.

I think it's all right.

A metal box.

Ha! It's a box of glass vials. Look.

Let me see. Then there WAS
somebody here last night.

They must have dropped them.

I'd like to run a few tests on those.

Susan, could you take these
into the ship?

Yes. Thank you.

Oh, and by the way, did you
remember the food supplies?

Yes, a day's supply for four.
That's enough, isn't it?

Yes, ample, ample.

I trust we won't be more
than a couple of hours. Hmm.

You ready, Susan? Yes.
Come on, then. Off we go.

Ah. Do you mind if I
sit down for a minute?

I...feel a bit exhausted.

You all right?
Yes, I'm just a bit tired.

It was a long journey
and my legs are weak.

Look, why don't you rest here?
Ian and I will look around and...

No, I want to look around too.
I shall be all right, thank you.

I must say, I don't
feel too good myself.

Why don't we get this
over with quickly?

Look for instruments, gauges,
anything like that.

Ideally, what we want
is a laboratory.

Ian...

Look!

Why don't we separate
and go different ways

and meet back here
in, say, ten minutes?

Fine. I'll go this way.

Lend me your arm, could you, Susan?
Thank you.

Let's try this one.

Barbara?

We ought to find some mercury here.

Oh, measuring equipment.

But measuring what?

Look here.

Look at this drum.
The ink's still quite wet.

Yes. I'm trying to imagine
what sort of people these are.

They're intelligent, anyway,
very intelligent.

Yes, but how do they use
their intelligence?

Oh, as if that matters.

The thing that's ticking,
it's over here.

It's a Geiger counter.

Look at the needle!
It's past the danger point.

Yes, yes. That explains
a lot of things, doesn't it?

The jungle turned to stone,
the barren soil,

and the fact
we're not feeling well.

Radiation sickness?
Yes, I'm afraid so.

The atmosphere here is polluted
with a very high level of fallout

and we've been walking around
in it completely unprotected. What?

How do you explain the buildings?
They're intact.

A neutron bomb.

Yes. It destroys all human tissues,

but leaves the buildings
and machinery intact.

How much radiation? How badly?

Oh, we need... We need drugs.

We've got to be treated.

But where are we going to find them?
The TARDIS will have to take us

to another time and place
where we can be cured.

Don't you remember?

We can't move the ship until we
find the mercury for the fluid link.

For the fluid link, yes.

Yes, I'm afraid
I cheated a little on that.

I was determined to see the city,
but everybody wanted to go on and...

Well, to avoid arguments,

in short, there's nothing wrong
with the fluid link.

What?

Grandfather, do you mean to say
that you risked leaving the ship

just to see this place?

You fool! You old fool!

Abuse me as much as you like,
Chesterton. The point is...

..we need an immediate return to the
ship and I suggest we leave at once.

We're not leaving
until we've found Barbara.

Very well. You may stay and search
for her if you wish,

but Susan and I are going back to
the ship. Come along, child.

All right, carry on. Fine.
How far do you think you'll get

without this? Give that to me.

Not until we've found Barbara.
Give it to me, I say! No!

It's time you faced up to your
responsibilities. You got us here.

Now I'm going to make sure
you get us back.

Chesterton... We're wasting time.
We should be looking for Barbara.

He's right, Grandfather.
We are wasting time.

Child, if only you'd think as
an adult sometimes, it's very...

Oh, very well, very well.

Let's go, then, let's go.

Stay where you are!

You will move ahead of us
and follow my directions.

This way.

Immediately!

I said immediately!

My legs. My legs!

Stop!

Your legs are paralysed.

You will recover shortly unless you
force us to use our weapons again.

In that case,
the condition will be permanent.

You two, help him.

My legs. My legs!

I can't use my legs!

Stop here.

Susan! Oh, Barbara. Thank heaven
we've found you. Are you all right?

Yes. What's the matter? What's
happening? Oh, I'm all right.

He tried to get away and they
hurt him. Can't you stand up?

Not without help. The feeling's
coming back. Come over here.

How about you, Barbara?

We tried to look for you
and then those machines caught us.

They trapped me in a lift.
It seemed to go down for ages.

They didn't hurt you? No.

Ian, what are they?

I don't know.

I tried to think of
how I could get away from them.

Then I began to feel
so weak and giddy.

It's getting worse now.

I think they must have
drugged me in some way.

It's not that.

Barbara, we've got
radiation sickness, all of us.

The Doctor's pretty badly hit.

Well, what's going to happen to us?
Unless we get treatment...

..we shall die.

Our prisoners are showing
preliminary stages of sickness.

We know the Thals are able to live
on the surface.

And they must have found immunity.

Perhaps it is a drug.

Is it failing them now?

Why are these four showing signs of
radiation sickness?

A few questions will reduce
the mystery.

Bring in the old man Thal prisoner.

Do not move out of the light.

Sit on the floor.

You are one of the Thal people.

I don't understand you. Why are you
suffering from radiation?

Why? Because we were not aware
of it until too late, that is why.

No, that is not true.

We know that Thals have
existed outside our city.

The truth is your supply of drugs
has failed

and you came into the city
to see if you could find more.

No. No. Thals? What are you
talking about?

We're not Thals
or whatever you call them.

Can't you see we're very ill?

You and your companions
seek a drug to stay alive.

We have no drugs.

A drug. A drug.

The drugs left outside the TARDIS.

TARDIS? He is becoming delirious.

I do not understand his words.

Yes, but you may...
Stay in the light.

My friends and I are travellers.

We did find something in the forest
near our...our encampment.

They may be the drugs
you're referring to.

Why not let one of us
go and bring the Thals here,

under guard if necessary?

We cannot move outside the city.

Very well, then. Let one of us go

and hold the others
until he returns.

Providing whoever you send
understands the rest of you

will be held responsible
for his return.

He will have our lives in his hands.

That is enough! Then we agree.

Tell me something about the people.

The Thals.

Over 500 years ago,

there were two races
on this planet.

We, the Daleks, and the Thals.

After the Neutronic War, our Dalek
forefathers retired into the city,

protected by our machines.

And the Thals?

Most of them perished in the war,

but we know
that there are survivors.

They must be disgustingly mutated,

but the fact that they have survived

tells us they must have a drug
that preserves the life force.

And knowing that these mutated
creatures exist outside the city,

you're willing to send one of us
in amongst them?

As you say yourself,
all your lives depend on it.

Is it any easier?
Yes, I think it is.

I'm going to try and stand
on my own.

Be careful. I'll be all right.

Ah.

That's not too bad, is it? Why don't
you sit down for a bit? No, no.

Oh!

It's no good!

Come on. Sit down.
It'll wear off in time.

Grandfather! Are you all right?

What happened?
In a moment, child.

The phial of drugs left outside
the TARDIS, remember?

Yes. What about them?

It's possible that they may
have been anti-radiation drugs.

I can't be certain.
But it does give us a chance.

The people here, whoever they may be,
are very eager to get hold of them.

None of us are in very good shape
to go and get them.

I could do it. No. It must be me.

But you can't walk. I'll be
all right in a couple of hours.

Whoever goes must be very careful.
As far as I can ascertain,

the creatures out there are the ones
who dropped the box.

They're called Thals.

They're mutations.

So it wasn't our captors
who left the drugs behind?

No. If they WERE drugs.

I've learned quite
a lot from the Daleks. The who?

The Daleks, our captors here.
Oh, if I didn't feel so...

I was right about the neutron bomb.

The Daleks built this underground
city as a kind of huge shelter.

But what about the...
What do you call them? The Thals?

How did they survive out there? I...

Doctor?

Doctor?

I must get that drug quickly.

He's burning hot. Yes.

As soon as they take me to
the surface, I'll ask for water.

In the meantime, you must keep him
as cool as you possibly can.

You can't go alone, Ian.
I'll have to go with you.

No, I want you to stay here, Susan.

You must leave now.
I'm not well enough yet.

You must leave now!

My legs... One of you is going!

You must give me more time!

Can't you see how weak he is?
There are others.

Oh, Ian. I can't...

The whole room's going round.

Oh.

Must I?

Alone?

You can't let her go alone.

She's just a child.

Plead with them. Anything.

Susan, you see how ill
they both are.

We can't afford to wait
until I can walk.

An hour might make
all the difference.

I'm so afraid.
Don't stop for anything.

Straight there, straight back.

Are you ready?

Yes, all right.

I'm coming now.

The others, in the forest.

He said they were mutations.

What else could I do?!

Oh...

The child has set out.

Her direction is being
followed on the radioscopes.

Mark her movements carefully.

If she returns with the drug, am I
to allow the prisoners to use it?

No. They will die in time.

Their only value is in bringing us
enough of the Thal drug

to duplicate it for our own use.

It's hit him so badly, Ian.

Yes. How are you feeling?

Oh, I... I ache all over.

I think even if they left
the doors wide open

we wouldn't have the strength
to crawl through them.

How long has she been gone?

About an hour. She should just be
on the edge of the jungle by now.

It's like a fever.

Yes. His breathing's so bad.

The old man is dying.

Then he must die.
There is no help we can give him.

Even if Susan got back now, I don't
know whether she'd be in time.

What of the girl?
Has she reached the jungle?

Yes. The radioscopes
tracked her that far.

Now they have lost her.

Barbara! Come on now.

I'm... I'm all right.

No, you rest. You can't do anything
more for him.

It's so hot in here.

Oh!

Hurry, Susan.

Hurry, Susan!

IAN: Don't stop for anything.
Straight there, straight back.

An hour might make
all the difference.

Must...

Must...

Who are you?

What do you want?

Don't be afraid. What do you want?

But they said you were...

But they called you...

But you're not!

You're perfect!

I have come now to make certain
you understand how to use

the drugs I left for you. You left?

We thought they'd been dropped
by accident. No.

We didn't even know they were drugs!

You mean you haven't taken them yet?
But you must!

That's why I came back, you see.

My grandfather and two of my friends
are prisoners in the city, and...

No, please, please...
you're too quick for me!

There are four of you,
I know that, I've watched you.

What do you mean... "prisoners"?

Well, don't you know
about the Daleks?

You see, the Daleks want the drugs
too, and they won't let us go

until I bring them back to them.
But why should they want the drugs?

Surely they must have some
themselves, if they're still alive.

I don't know! Look, my grandfather
and my friends are terribly ill.

I must take the drug back to them!
No, no, no, wait.

Are you sure the Daleks
want the drugs for your friends,

and not for themselves?

I hadn't thought of that.

Do you trust them? No!

Well, I'm not sure.

You still have the drugs
I left for you.

I shall give you a further supply,
which you must hide as best you can.

Do you trust me?

Yes.

I am Alydon of the Thal race.

I shall go with you
through the forest

to the outer wall of the city,
if you will allow me.

Thank you.

I don't understand.

They said you were...

Well, they called you mutations.

Here, take my cloak, you're cold.
Thank you.

We are the survivors
of a final war,

but the radiation still persists,
and that is why your friends are ill.

I wonder if the Daleks have seen us.

Seen you?
I mean, if they call us mutations,

what must they be like?

I have returned the girl
to the cell.

Very well.
They are asking for water.

Give them some.

It is clear that the girl must have
made contact with the Thals.

Our prisoners
could bring the Thals to us.

Precisely that.

The Thals said the drug
would act quickly.

Don't give him any more water,
Susan.

His pulse is steady now, anyway.

My arms are tingling.

Yes, Alydon said you'd feel that.

It just means that the drug's
working, that's all.

This Alydon seems to have
kept his wits about him,

giving you
that extra supply of drugs.

Yes.

It was strange
when the Daleks found it.

I thought first of all
they were going to keep both lots,

then they suddenly seemed to
change their mind

and gave the second lot
back to me. Susan?

Grandfather?

You'll feel better soon,
I brought the drugs back.

Oh, give me a little while, and
then we must go back to the ship.

We're still prisoners!

Oh, are we?

Yes, well, we must leave here soon,

we must leave. We must...

As soon as Grandfather's
properly awake,

we must try and find a way
of helping the Thals.

We can't even help ourselves,
locked up in here like this.

Ah, Ganatus.

Alydon. You have been longer
than I thought.

The path was rough.
The dead city lies over there.

Let us in here, we'll walk the rest.

Oh, what is it, Temmosus?

This must be the craft in which
the strangers arrived here.

So, Alydon, we were right
to believe the city inhabited.

Yes, Temmosus.

I wonder what they'll be like,
how they'll be disposed towards us.

They are Daleks.

Yes, but we've changed over
the centuries - why shouldn't they?

The once-famous warrior race
of Thals

are now farmers.

But the Daleks were teachers,
weren't they, Temmosus?

Yes, they were, and philosophers.

Perhaps they are the warriors now.

From a distance, the city looks
as if they make science

and invention their profession.

It's a magical architecture.

Perhaps we can exchange ideas
with them, learn from them.

Perhaps.

Alydon says the Thals
are going to starve

unless they can find
new supplies of food.

You see...

..after the war,
the Thals that survived

managed to cultivate
small plots of land.

Well, that's how they've
survived ever since.

But they've always had to be
very, very careful,

because the crops have
always been in danger.

But, you see, they rely on
a great rainfall

that only happens about
every four or five years.

Well, it's two years overdue now,
and all their crops are ruined.

Well, that's why the whole Thal race

had to leave their plateau
and go in search of food.

Alydon says, unless we can help them
arrange some sort of treaty

with the Daleks,
they're all going to die.

But how can we, Susan? Well,
he wants to talk to the Daleks.

He said, if they agree to
supply food for them,

then one of us must take a message
outside the city.

We could arrange a fake treaty
with the Thals.

Let us construct a false message
from the young female prisoner

using her name - Susan -

and we can lead the Thals
into our city!

Then we will exterminate them!

The point is,
how do we get out of here?

We must try and talk to the Daleks.

We must find a way of putting
these machines out of action.

Yes, remember what they did
to your legs.

The floors are metal.

All the floors are metal. Well, so
are the streets of the city outside.

Why? Why do they use metal?

Is it because that it lasts longer,
or.. Because it's essential to them!

Have you noticed, for example,
that, when they move about,

there's a sort of acrid smell?
Yes, I've noticed that.

I know!

A fairground! That's it!

Dodgems! It's electricity!

I think they're powered that way.

They have no pick-up or anything,

and only the base of the machine
touches the floor.

How do they complete the circuit?

Batteries? No, no, no!

I believe the Daleks have discovered
a way to exploit static electricity!

Very ingenious, if I'm right!

What? Drawing power from the floor?
Precisely!

Susan? Hm?
The cloak the Thals gave you.

Yes, it's just behind you.
Ah. Barbara, come here.

What do you think this is made of?

Oh, I don't know,
it isn't plastic or...

I don't think it's nylon either.

Whatever it is,
it'll do for what we want.

And what will it do, young man, hm?

Insulate. If you're right, Doctor,

about the Daleks taking up power
from the floor,

this is a perfect way
of putting them out of action.

This was found at the city gates.

What does it say?

They're going to help us!

It's signed by the girl, Susan.

She says the Dalek people
have no malice towards us

and they hope that
they can work with us

to build a new and safe world,
free from the fear of war.

They have the ability to produce
food by means of synthetic sunlight,

and they have left a quantity
of it for us

in the entrance hall
of their main building.

We are to collect it tomorrow.

So there is a future for us!

Sh! He's coming! Yes.

All of you, watch very carefully.

See that you notice every detail
on that machine, right?

Move back from the door!

Take the food.

Well? I'll be able to jam the door
with a piece of this.

He seemed to be able to cover all of
us. It's impossible to hide from it.

Yes. Perhaps we can throw
a coat over the lens.

Surely it would see you?

Yes. Doctor,

perhaps we can stage something,
you know...

..a distraction, and, when
the lens looks the other way,

throw something over it?

No, wait a minute!
Susan, throw me your shoes.

What are you up to?
I'm making mud.

If he's on time,
we have three minutes.

I'm ready. How's the mud?

It's very sticky and very nasty!

Very good idea! Shall I spread
the cloak over? Yes, yes.

Not too near the door, we don't
want to make him suspicious.

Just down there?
Yes, yes... Quickly!

He's coming.

Take this.

ALARM

Now!

My vision is impaired! I cannot see!

Keep away!

Keep away from me!
Keep away from me!

Keep away! Keep away! The gun!

The gun! Keep away from me!

Keep away from me!
Keep away from me!

Keep away from me!

Yes, I've got it!

Good girl, Susan.

Are you all right, Susan?
Yes, Grandfather.

Splendid, splendid.

I think I'm all right.
Swing it round.

Keep out of the way, Susan.

Now...I think it's worked.

Take your hand off the gun.

It has! It's worked!

There must be a catch
here somewhere.

I've found one!

Susan, Barbara...

..go in the corridor
and keep a look out. Yes.

You'll have to help me.

Let's run it off the cloak.

All right? Yes.

Give me that cloak.

That's it.

All right? Right.

Now...

..lift.

Ian, hurry!

Now, see if I can get inside it.

All clear in the corridor?
Yes.

I think there's a sentry
down the other end of the corridor.

Well, they made
such a terrible noise.

Not much room for my legs, but...

..try the top. Yes.

Barbara! Susan! Give me a hand.

Put it down, gently.

How is it? It's very cramped indeed.

Well, can't you sound
more like a Dalek?

Yes, in a monotone.
You've heard them.

Do...you...mean...

That's it, that's it!

Can you see all right? No!

Oh, there's some sort of screen...

Oh, it's the mud, wipe the mud
off the lens.

Oh! Yes, all right.

Urgh, it's all clogged up.

Ah. Is that better?
Yes, I can see now. Good.

I can't make this thing move!
It's full of controls.

Oh, don't worry, we'll push you.

Well, it moves well enough. Yes.

Surely they'll know
that we're pushing him.

No, no, no. They won't
be suspicious at all.

All right, now, Susan, Barbara,

you get in front and pretend
I'm taking you for questioning.

Right, yes. And Susan? Yes?

You lead us, you know the way.

All right. This way, then.

Hey! Let go a minute!

I think I've found out
how to operate this thing!

Yes, I can!

Quick, Doctor, get in front.

Ready? Off we go.

There's a great iron door
with a Dalek on guard.

Stop! And beyond the door,
there's a lift.

The Council wishes to question
the prisoners.

I have not been informed.

Wait.

No! I'm not going! No!

Help me to get them inside.

Shall I help you to the
fourth level with them?

No. Close the door.

That's fixed the door.
That was a very good idea, Susan.

Well, help me to get out of this
thing. I'm suffocating! Right.

The door is locked.

Emergency alarm!

Chesterton, try and force it up
from the inside! I'm trying! I...

I can't move it!

Attention. Immobilise lift shaft
seventh floor area.

They're cutting through the door!

Ow! Hey, the door's red hot!

We'll have to move you into
the lift. Yes, but hurry, hurry!

It's stuck! I don't understand it.
It moved easily enough before.

They've magnetised the floor.

You feel it? Are you sure? Yes!

Take the others away
in the lift, Doctor.

We're not going without you.
Don't waste time! Go on!

When we get to the top, we'll
send the lift back down for you.

No! Go on! Come on, Susan!

Barbara, for goodness' sake, go!

Oh, look!

Even if he does get out,
he's stuck down there!

His only way out is the lift!
We must go back for him!

Susan, it's no good! We cannot
do anything for him now, child.

I must, must get out!

We should never have left him.

It's so slow, it'll never
reach him in time.

It is nearly completed.

Exterminate! Exterminate!

It is empty.

Lock the lift!

The emergency switch.

Bring it down!

Come on, Ian! Come on!

Lift disabled.

They had about two inches of that
door to cut through when I got out.

Are you all right?
Yes, thank you, Susan.

Well, never mind that now. We must
try and find a way out of this room.

Daylight!

Yes, but where exactly are we?

We're right at the top
of the building.

See over there? There's the edge
of the petrified jungle. Yes.

Everything looks so different
from above.

Do you see anything at all
that looks fa...? What is it?

Ian?

What's the matter?

There's someone down there!

Look. By that sort of gateway thing
beyond the low building.

I saw someone cross that space!

A Dalek? No.

It was a man. A human being!

The Thals!
They've come for food supplies!

They're walking into an ambush!

They are approaching.

Make no attempt to capture them.

They are to be exterminated.

I wonder what they'll be like.

How they'll be disposed towards us.

They are Daleks.

It's signed by the girl, Susan.

She says the Dalek people
have no malice towards us,

and they hope that
they can work with us

to build a new and safe world,
free from the fear of war.

Daleks, can you hear me?

The Thal people
wish to live in peace.

If this is your wish too,

then let us work together
to rebuild our world.

We need your help, and in return
we'll make the soil live again,

grow crops, build homes.

The time for enmity is passed.

If this is the kind of future
that you want,

then send for us and we shall talk.

You need not decide now.

We've been waiting for centuries.

We shall go on waiting.

Take these things.

No, it's a trap!

Get out of here! Run!

Exterminate!

Exterminate!

The Thals are escaping!

Exterminate them!

All enemies of the Daleks
will be destroyed!

Exterminate them!

The prisoners have escaped into
the jungle with the Thals.

What of the drugs?

The Thal drugs have been duplicated.

And the distribution?

The drug is to be taken by
sections of us

so work will not be interrupted.

The laser scope is transmitting.

Appearing now on frequency 6.

It is the elder prisoner.

These records must go back
nearly half a million years.

The complete history of
our planet Skaro is here.

It seems now that no-one
will survive to read it.

Oh, nonsense, young lady!

Your survival is...is all here!

Show second picture.

That is the younger prisoner.

This is the man
who shouted to warn us.

Thank you.

Did the others get away, Alydon?

Temmosus was killed.
The rest of us escaped.

You must take the place
of Temmosus now.

Yes. Yes, I know.

If only I knew
why the Daleks hated us.

They're afraid of you because
you're different from them.

What would you have us do? Fight
against them? I didn't say that.

But you must teach them
to respect you.

Show them some strength.

They have made contact
with the Thals.

It is logical that together
they will attack us.

What would you do if the Daleks
could leave their city?

If they came up here
and attacked you?

We would go away, back to
our plateau where we came from.

You'd simply run away?

Alydon, you can't
go on running away.

There are some things
worth preserving.

We're not afraid to die.

Temmosus proved that!

I am not talking about dying!

Look, you can't hand yourselves
over to the Daleks!

Sooner or later, they're going to
try and destroy you if they can.

I can see you want to help us.

But as Dyoni says, you...
you don't understand.

There can never be any question
of the Thals fighting the Daleks.

I wonder if there's any point

in reminding the Thals of
what they used to be.

But our fate doesn't rest
with the Thals, surely.

Let's leave well alone.
We have ourselves to worry about.

Now, come along.

Maybe the Doctor's right.

Yes. Let's get in the ship and get
as far away from here as possible.

Oh, please, come along.

Oh, by the way, let me have
the fluid link, will you?

Oh, dear boy, now, please,
please, come along.

You know I can't start
the ship without it.

The fluid link...

You've lost it?

Ian, you can't have!

No.

The Daleks took it from me

when they searched me.

It's down there somewhere...

..in the city.

Report!

The Thal drugs
have been administered

to all Daleks in Section 3.

When the effects of
the drugs are known,

you will report back immediately!

I obey.

We'll be prisoners here
unless we can

get that fluid link
back from the Daleks.

I've got an idea.
But whatever I do, don't interfere.

I'm not even sure that I'm right.

Well...

..let's see what happens.

Hm. Strange young man.

At this moment,
anyone could come in here.

They could rob, they could steal.

We will not fight.
There will be no more wars.

Look at our planet.

This was once a great world,
full of ideas and art and invention.

In one day, it was destroyed.

And you will never find
one good reason

why we should ever begin
destroying everything again.

I'm sorry. You're not sorry.

You stand here, mumbling a lot
of words out of your history,

but it means nothing.
Nothing at all.

You carry this around with you.

Your history records.
Well, it must be valuable to you.

Supposing I take it down
to the city

and try and trade with the Daleks,
eh?

Perhaps they'd think it valuable
enough to exchange

for our fluid link.

I don't believe you'd do it.
I would.

None of us would stop you.

If I don't get the fluid link back,
the four of us will die.

Perhaps the Daleks are more
interested in people.

Maybe they were holding us
to experiment on us.

I could take them an alternative.

So there is something
you'll fight for.

Help! Cannot control!

Cannot control! Help me!

Help me! Help!

Help! Help!

Help!

Argh!

Emergency! Emergency!

All Daleks in Section 3
are incapable of working.

Section 3?

That was the first section to
get the anti-radiation drug

received from the Thals.

Stand by for a general announcement.

This is Control.

All distribution
of the anti-radiation drug

is to be stopped immediately.

The Dalek race has become
conditioned to radiation.

But if you are right,
we are in danger.

Look, the disease
has reached us in here.

What are we to do?
Is this the end of the Daleks?

We need radiation to survive,

so we must increase our supply
of radiation.

But there is only one way
to do that.

Exactly.

We may have to explode
another neutron bomb.

I have one question to ask you.

If we do not help you,
what will you do?

We'll find our way into the city
and take back our lost equipment.

You see? We cannot stand by
and let these people die.

If we do not help them,

it would be the same as if
we had killed them ourselves.

The way I have reasoned is this.

The Daleks are strong
and they hate us.

And I'm sure they will find a way to
come out of their city and kill us.

So it is not merely a question
of whether we go off

in a vain search for food and,
in all probability, starve to death.

We face death now.

In the city is enough food for
all of us and all of the Daleks,

a hundred times over.

My conclusion is this.

There is no indignity
in being afraid to die.

But there is a terrible shame
in being afraid to live.

If none of you agree
with my reasons,

then let me go with these people.

And I will help you
elect a new chief.

I'll go with you, Alydon. And I.
Let's start at once. And I.

Thank you.

I suggest we split into two groups.

The one to distract the Daleks
on the city wall side,

and the others to try and force
a way through the mountains.

Are we all agreed?
Yes. Very well, then.

That is what we must do.

We'll never get through. Yes, we
will. We promised Alydon we'd find

a way through the mountains
and that's what we're going to do.

You'd never get the others
to follow you if you told them

what happened the first time.
It's your duty to tell them!

Keep your fears to yourself, I don't
want you upsetting the others.

Is that clear? Yes.
Well, is it? Yes!

Well, this is the swamp.

From now on, it's going to
be rather uncomfortable.

Yes. Well, we've made
very good time.

Only taken four hours to get here
from the edge of the forest.

That leaves us with two and a half
days to go through the mountains

to the city.
If there is a way through.

We'll find a way.

I'm going to give Barbara a hand.
I'm surprised you let her come.

I'd be more surprised
if I could have stopped her!

How are you doing? Fine.

Oh, I'm glad
the mountaineering's over.

There'll be some more once we
get through this little lot.

We're going through there?! We must.

We've got a deadline with the Doctor
and we've got to make it.

There are four roads that lead off
from the main square,

going north, south, east and west.

Can you see any way in at all?

No. Oh, well, allow me, will you?

Grandfather, get down!
Yes, yes, yes.

Now, the things we have
to put out of action

is the radio and television waves.

They've obviously got complete
coverage in and around the city.

Remember, the Daleks
aren't very mobile.

Yes, we do have speed on our side.

What was it? Did you see anything?

Yes, it was... A Kristas.
Stand guard here, will you? Right.

We'll take the first watch
between us.

I'm all right, really, I... Yes,
but I think you two Earth people

should get as much sleep
as possible.

We're more used
to this kind of life.

The report for the neutron bomb
is prepared.

Neutron bomb to cover
five hundred square miles.

Stay here.

What is it? What's
happened to Elyon?

There's nothing we can do here.

Ian?

It must have happened very quickly.

Come on, now.

We must reach the cliffs by tonight.

It's getting narrower.
Oh, it's like all the other caves.

Just tails off into a dead end.

There's a gloomy thought for you!

I wonder if Ian's doing any better.

Barbara, look!

There's a passageway here.

Well, that won't be easy.

It's a good job we haven't
been overeating recently.

Be careful.
Remember what Ian said -

we're not to take any chances.

Do you always do what Ian says?

No, I don't.

Barbara? Yes?

There seems to be a drop of about...

..30 feet or so. I'm going down.

Well, be careful!

Ganatus!

What's happened?
I couldn't hold on to it.

Where's Ganatus?
He's down here, look!

Barbara? Is my brother hurt?

It was my fault. Barbara!

The rope, Antodus!

Hang on a minute! Are you all right?

Yes! What happened to Barbara?

She's OK.

Hang on. We'll be with you
in a couple of minutes.

Rangerscopes are recording great
activity amongst the Thal people!

Are there pictures?

No, reception is bad.

They are attacking our instruments!

We must keep alert! Yes.

It looks as if
my plan has worked!

We can't keep up this
light reflection for long.

Never mind. It gives us
a better chance

to get into the city unnoticed.

I want to get to the east side
of that antennae.

Doctor, look... Mm?

According to the map, we should
be moving further to our left,

in that direction.

Emergency! Emergency!

Reaction on the vibrascopes.

Where? Section 15, city wall.

Let's show them a thing or two.

Seems to be broadening out a bit.

It may stop being impossible.
Just become unbearable.

Shall I redirect the rangerscopes?

No. If we track them
by their vibrations,

we can take them by surprise.

Look out!

It looks pretty wide.

Yes, and deep.

No place for a quiet stroll, is it?

There's no foothold at all
on this side.

There's a ledge over there, look.

About two to three feet,
would you say?

There seems to be some sort of...

..cleft in the rock face, there.

Yes, I think you're right.

We'll have to get over there.
How do we do it?

We jump.

Grandfather, look! Yes?

Is this what you want?

Ah, yes! A single cable.

The whole city is powered
by static electricity!

How do you know that?
I tell you what we'll do -

we'll short-circuit it
through another conductor.

I wonder if I can open this box? Hm?

That's it!
Look, look, it slides up!

Ah, good girl!
Now, just take it over there.

That's it. Now, look out.

How are we going to cut the wire
without getting a terrific shock?

We can't wait around here too long.

No, just a minute!
Go and tell your friends

to stop flashing the light
on the antennae.

Because, for all we know, the Daleks
might have a beam to throw on them -

paralyse them, kill them!
But I can't leave you two here.

We should be all right. Tell
them to move their position

from time to time. Hurry, please!
I'll come back for you if I can.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, we shall
be back before then. Now go!

We're going to jump it.

Shine the torch on that ledge.

Keep clear of me when I run.

And give me plenty of rope.

Let me have
the key of the ship, will you?

Hm? The key of the ship!
What a good idea, yes!

Yes, yes, yes. I can always
make another one if necessary.

Now, the power's running away.

That'll teach the Daleks to meddle
in our affairs! What about this one?

Of course!

All right! Ganatus,
you come over next.

Good jump!

Oh! I thought I wouldn't make it.

Will you go next, Antodus?
No, you go on. Very well.

You made it look easy.

Alert! We are under attack!

Emergency! Emergency!

We shorted it, you see? The extent
of the damage, we don't know yet.

Look, Grandfather,
this is marvellous, but...

But they must have a fault locator
somewhere. We must get away!

My dear child, don't you realise
what I've done? A few simple tools...

We must go now... A superior brain?

Rope coming over!

Sorry.

Bad throw. My fault.

Move back from the edge.

I can't do it.

Move back from the edge!

And catch this rope.

Ready?

Coming now!

Good.

Now, tie it round yourself.

Tight!

Now give yourself a good long run...

..and jump.

I'm ready whenever you are.

Help me! Help me!

I can't hold on!

I can't hold on!

You are guilty of an attack
against the Dalek city.

And you in turn killed
the Thal leader in your ambush.

You will be responsible for more
deaths unless you help these people.

The only interest we have
in the Thals

is their total extermination!

What do you mean?

Tomorrow,
the atmosphere will be bombarded

by the radiation
from our neutron bomb.

Why are you doing this?
That's sheer murder!

No...extermination.

But you must listen to reason.
Please, you must!

Without radiation,
the Dalek race is ended.

We need it
as you and the Thals need air.

Tomorrow, we will be
the masters of the planet Skaro!

I daren't let go with my other hand.

Antodus!

Get a grip on the rock-face.

Take the weight off the rope!

It's too...smooth!

Stop it, you fool!

I'm losing you! Sweat on my hands.

It's no good, Ian! Call the others!

Kristas! Kristas! Kristas!

SPLASH

Antodus!

You could live in the city, and...

What we need for life
means death to the Thals!

But why do you have to destroy?

Can't you use your brains to try...
Only one race can survive!

What are you planning?
We wish to escape captivity.

Go out and rebuild the planet Skaro.

Our neutron bomb
will spread radiation

for 500 square miles.

Nothing can live outside
if you do that! Nothing!

Except the Daleks.

When do you intend
to put this into operation? Now.

The antennae
hasn't moved for some time.

No. The Doctor must have succeeded
in putting it out of action.

But why haven't they returned?
The Daleks must have captured them.

The explosive device
is ready for detonation.

This senseless, evil killing!

Now, listen, everybody.
The way to the city is clear.

Now is the time to attack!

We may be farmers, but have
we forgotten how to fight?

There's a light coming in here.

Where's it coming from?

Can you see anything?
Here, give me your hand!

We're through!

We're through!

Can't we stop them?

Can't we do anything?

Just a moment! I haven't told you
how we came to this planet.

It does not matter now.
But...but it does!

I have a ship capable of crossing
the barriers of space and time.

Surely this would
be invaluable to you?

A ship? What do you mean? A machine.

I do not believe you.

But I have! It's true! We have!

You are not capable
of creating such a machine.

You took a part of my ship away from
one of my companions - the young man.

What did it look like? A small rod
with metal at either end.

It belongs to my ship.

A fluid link containing mercury.
Examine it for yourselves.

You will see it's part
of a complicated machine.

Fluid link located?

I have it here.

Well, let me show you the ship,
explain it to you,

help you to build another.

A bargain for your lives? Yes.

Where is this machine?

In the petrified forest
outside the city.

Good. When the neutron operation
has been completed,

we will find a way
to travel outside the city limits.

We will examine your machine.

But you can't operate it
without me!

Every problem has a solution.

Get back!

Interior videoscopes are recording
movement inside the city wall.

The Thals must be in the city.

How did they get into the city?

We must find the control room.

The Thals have penetrated
to level eight.

All Daleks on level eight. Urgent.

They're coming!
Can they get here in time?

Immediate action. Immediate action.

Look, they've found a way through!

Alydon! Ganatus!
Have you found the Doctor?

Well, isn't he with you?
No, he must have been captured

by the Daleks, and Susan!

Neutron bomb ready for detonation.

Stand by. Standing by.

Stop it, please!

Detonation in 50 rels.

49.

There's another one!

Quickly, Barbara, get to it!

40...

Barbara!

39...

Barbara! Try and slide yourself out!

I can't move!
They're pressing down harder!

I'm through!

You go next!

Exterminate!

30.

29.

28.

27.

26.

25.

24.

23.

22.

21.

16.

15.

Exterminate!

Follow and kill her!

Exterminate the intruders!

Increase power. Emergency!

Exterminate!

Protect the neutron bomb!

Exterminate!

5. You will die!

Nothing can stop the Daleks...

Under attack! Under attack!

Exterminate!

1.

Countdown halted.

Firepower failing. Power dying.

Static electricity failing.

IAN: Doctor, Doctor,
I think they're dying!

They spread radiation into the air.

We've knocked out their source
of power, I tell you! Look!

Barbara, is he all right? He's
very badly hurt, but he's alive.

Listen...to...me.

Yes?

Stop...our power...from wasting...

..or it will be...

..end of the Daleks.

Even if I wanted to,
I don't know how.

It's finished.

The final war.

500 years of destruction
end in this.

No doubt you will have
other wars to fight.

Chesterton? Come along, my boy.
We've got work to do.

I want to look at the reactors and
see if there's any radiation leakage.

Yes, and get the ship
working again, Doctor?

Hm?

Oh, yes, yes, yes, of course.
Come along, come along.

You know, this soil
is not quite so barren as you think.

I've been making tests,

and even you might live to see and
hear the birds amongst the trees.

How I envy you.

But you must stay and help us.

We could learn from you.
Oh, no, no, no!

I'm afraid I'm much too old
to be a pioneer.

Although I was once,
amongst my own people.

Well, then, stay and advise us.
Please. No, no, thank you.

We're much too far away from home,
my granddaughter and I.

You wanted advice, you said.

I never give it. Never.

But I might just say this to you.

Always search for truth.

My truth is...in the stars.

And yours is here.

Our lives are important.

At least to us.

As we see, so we learn.

Our destiny is in the stars,

so let's go and search for it.

Make your last move, Doctor.
Make your move.
