(DOCTOR WHO THEME)

(PERI SHRIEKING)

No! No, no, no,
I won't believe it.

You still continue to ignore the truth?

I am not responsible for that!

In your mind, perhaps not.

But in reality,
it is somewhat different, Doctor.

Is Peri dead?

No.

Then what was the point
of showing that last sequence?

Simply as further evidence of
the Doctor's interference.

- I thought it was somewhat gratuitous.
- And highly prejudicial!

You won't convict me
by using shock tactics.

I require nothing so crude,
my dear Doctor.

All that will prove necessary is the truth.

Then tell it.

My head!

Feels as though it has been trampled on
by the seven-legged charges of Corojaam.

My legs. Arms.

You are fortunate to live.

So the Mentors can experiment on us?

Think of it as community service, Tuza.

You are a fool to let us live.
I would have killed you.

But then you are a barbarian.

Ha! And you're some angel of mercy, huh?

Get up, all of you.

How did you know where we were?

We've always known about
the weapon dump.

Liar! You would've done something
before now if you had.

Weapons are only as good as
the training of the men who use them.

You're no warrior, Tuza.

But him?
Now, he's just enough in love with death

to inspire a rabble like yours into action.

And we were right. Now move!

The sea...

The sea... Strong!

Strong, too much...

Too... String. Sting. Strike!

Why is the Lord talking of such things?

He hates seawater.

The body you used
to transplant Kiv's brain, whose was it?

Just a body.

Just a body? It's a bit casual, isn't it?

It was some fisherman.
I had no other choice.

It's taken me weeks
to find one remotely suitable.

I still think it might have been better
if you'd waited.

- There wasn't the time.
- Hey, look at this.

The host cells are trying to
influence Kiv's brain,

attempting to
alter and distort his memory.

Oh, a few must have
escaped the laserisation.

You have blundered!

You have reduced
the greatest business brain

in this part of the galaxy
to a catcher of sea snakes.

Perhaps the trauma of the donor's death
lingers and is infecting Kiv's brain.

I must try and rectify it.

Increase the severin drip
to 04 micro-sentiles.

Lord Kiv must not only be present
at the meeting

with our partner from Possicar,

but also able to make sane decisions!

If he is not, you will all suffer!

He'll be there.

Though whose body he'll inhabit
isn't as yet certain.

We must transfer Kiv's brain
to someone else without delay.

- TUZA: My head aches.
- Be grateful you've still got it.

Not you.

Why do they want Tuza?

Execution one at a time.
That's how it will be.

Oh. Oh, it's strange.

Ever since we came
to Thoros Beta, I've been

homesick.

Not so much for a place, but a time.

I just want to be back in my own time
with people I love.

What is that?

Love?

Well, it... It's when you care
for someone or something

more than yourself, I guess.

More than yourself?

Well, I know it sounds crazy, but...
Sometimes more than life.

I care nothing for mine.

How can you say that, Yrcanos?

Well, on my planet of Krontep,

when we die,
our spirit is returned to life,

to be born in a more noble warrior.

Until what?

Where do you end
after all your brave deaths?

You become a king!

Me, after my next death,
I join the other kings on Verduna,

the home of the gods!

To do what?

Why, to fight! What else?

Well, that figures.

Hmm. These Alphan brains
are all wrong for Kiv.

Shall I have him implanted
and sent to the work centre?

Yes, yes,
take him to the induction centre.

What a pity both you and
the Alphan are unsuitable.

Hmm? Hmm? Oh! Yes, yes, yes.
Most disappointing.

Unlike Sil, I would willingly
have given up my body.

What about your companion, Doctor?

Oh, Peri? Ah, quite unsuitable. Female.

Oh, silly, flibbity-jibbity, hopeless!

- Why not examine her?
- I think I'll do that.

Yet, Doctor, you seem uneasy.

Well, I'd prefer it
if you used somebody else.

Mmm-hmm, you have strong feelings
for the woman.

Well, certainly enough not to want
to see her experimented upon.

I understand, I am not without pity.
Go to the induction centre,

you know precisely the problem
I have here, Doctor.

If you can find a candidate
more suitable, I shall use them.

But, Doctor, hurry,
you haven't much time.

Die well, my lady.

Conzonian!

(CLEARS THROAT)

(MENTOR SIGHS)

Where is everyone?

There is only one subject here,

in the implantation cubicle.

May I examine him?
I have Crozier's permission.

Oh, if you must,
but try not to disturb him.

I shall be as quiet as the silence
that is in the starry skies.

Only quieter still.

Yrcanos.

Help me.

You know him?

What? Yes.

Who are you?

Colleague of Crozier's.

(WHISPERING) A friend.

She is a most promising candidate.
I must arrange for antigen tests.

Well, that's a blood test.
Well, I am not marrying anyone.

Ah! Spirit, strength. That is good.

I must try to retain
that if at all possible.

I shall return.

- What are you doing?
- He has Crozier's permission.

My apologies, sir.
I didn't realise you were in attendance.

Oh, take no notice of me, few people do.

I'd quite like a word with
that captured king.

- Yrcanos?
- Hmm, that's him.

I'm sure Crozier wouldn't mind.

Oh, take him. But be careful,
he has a very loud voice,

plays havoc with the audio system.

Thanks for the warning.

I was hoping we'd seen the last of him.
He's such a noisy fellow.

(DORF HOWLING)

Stop that! You are a warrior, not a wolf.

YRCANOS: Grunnitzer!

- How do you do?
- Screedner!

Now, where would a well brought-up king
learn a word like that? Hmm?

Open the door, would you?

You must be out of your mind.
He'll kill you.

I don't think so.

Cover me.

Grunwitzer!

That's quite enough of that.
I'm here to help you.

You, in.

Your majesty.

I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name
the last time we met.

- Dor... Dor...
- Never mind, you can tell me later.

His name is Dorf and you are scum!

No. Actually, I am known as the Doctor,

and there is no need for you to thank me
for helping you to escape.

Come along.

You are unwell, Magnificence.

You shouldn't have left the shelter
of Crozier's laboratory.

He has given me drugs
to stabilise my condition

and keep me alert. Can you smell fish?

I have the deepest respect
for Crozier's skill but, Magnificence...

But nothing, Sil!

I must attend this meeting,
otherwise we could all finish up poor.

Now, what is more important,
my well-being or your wealth?

(LAUGHING)
A trick question, Magnificence.

But if you feel fit enough to cope,
who am I to contradict?

KIV: Ah, welcome!

Excellency, welcome!

Please, please, rest yourself.

(RESPONDS IN ALIEN LANGUAGE)

KIV: Ah! There.

- I must know!
- What?

I will not take another step
until I am told the truth.

- What?
- Why did you release us?

I should have thought that was obvious.
I need your help to defeat the Mentors.

That I understand,
but you are my sworn enemy.

I have vowed to kill you.

Yes, we can deal with all that later.
At the moment, we need each other.

He has a point. He has...

Everyone has a point nowadays.
I am a man of action, not reason.

Don't worry, you'll see plenty of action.

Then lead on. Oh, but first,
I must find my bride-to-be.

Haven't got time for you to go courting.

I am talking of the Earth woman,
Perpugilliam of the Brown.

Well, we'll find Perpugilliam
of the Brown on the way.

Guards! Quickly, get this door open.

Yrcanos has escaped!

- So I am fit and healthy, huh?
- Perfectly.

Hey!

(MUFFLED PROTESTS)

In fact, you are so perfect,

I think I can serve Lord Kiv
my finest experiment yet.

Hah!

- There's Tuza, and there's a guard!
- Oh no!

We'll do this my way.
I'm not having you causing a bloodbath.

You think like a warrior but you do not
act like one. It is most perplexing.

You stay here and watch out for guards.

Stay!

Your majesty!

Ah, Doctor, I see that you found
your renegade king.

Certainly the quietest
I have ever seen him.

It is my intention to shut him up for good.

Oh, how splendid.

I thought I'd try one of
those brain implant things.

Oh, for one wish fulfilling moment,
I thought you were going to kill him.

I presume you have Crozier's permission
to carry out the experiment?

Oh, absolutely.

I have carte blanche
as far as young Crozier is concerned.

I shall, of course, have to get
confirmation of your carte blanche

from Crozier.

Be still, old one,

unless you wish
your wizened life terminated.

Oh! Thank you.

For your life? It was nothing.

No, for not shouting!

Come on now. Come on!

My friend, we both live

to drench the land with
the blood of our enemies.

Must you say such nauseating things?

Be silent, wizened one,
otherwise you'll be the first to die.

You'll be all right.
The implant hasn't taken.

What is that implant for?

It's one of Crozier's
newest developments.

We've been having problems
with some of the Alphan slaves.

The implant helps to impede
any fractious or rebellious thoughts.

It's very effective, Doctor.

Where's the control centre?

(STAMMERING) Oh, I...
I wouldn't know that.

Come now, wizened one.

- I know where it is.
- Right! Let's go.

What, to release slaves? I'd envisioned
a more noble cause for which to fight.

Well, think of the chaos
if we remove their mind control.

And you'd have a very willing army
to fight the Mentors.

- He's right, you know.
- Be silent!

I am King Yrcanos of the Krontep,

I'm quite capable of
making my own decisions!

- Then please hurry!
- Vroomnik!

We'll release the slaves,
and then on to death!

YRCANOS: Vroomnik!

I'm sorry about the noise,
he does so enjoy his work.

(WHIMPERING) Just go, just go!

Shave her head.

I've decided to attempt
direct transference.

(MUFFLED SCREAMS)

This way!

(DORF WHIMPERING)

Carry on, Doctor.

I somehow knew you'd finish up here.

- Have you seen Peri?
- I believe she is with Crozier.

Just as I feared.

I think Mentor Sil would like a word
with you both.

- Have you met Sil?
- No.

The last person you want to have
officiating at your execution.

Oh, he won't have us put to death.

We'll join Peri as material
for experimentation.

Come on, move!

DORF is dead.

- I'm sorry.
- No!

He died fighting.
It was an honourable way.

I'm also sorry about your friend,
but we must destroy the slave control.

Lead me to it.

I demand the privilege of
initiating the demise of the Mentors.

(CREATURE SPEAKING ALIEN LANGUAGE)

Yes, of course,
I take your point, Excellency,

but you must understand our position...

The Doctor is on the rampage
with the barbarian king, Yrcanos!

Is that reason to interrupt
an important conference?

He is very dangerous.
They could cause a great deal of damage.

That is nothing to what you are doing
to my negotiations.

If I am not careful, I could lose
an important fish concession.

But you hate fish, Magnificence.

Do I?

All is ready.

We must wait for Kiv
to complete his meeting.

This time you will be successful.

This time could be my last time
for anything.

What's happening?

Raaaaghgner!

Not only will the legends sing of
Yrcanos the great warlord.

But also of Yrcanos,
the even greater liberator!

He's certainly a man of little modesty.

- Yrcanos?
- Eh?

It's time we found Peri.

Of course! I need my queen
to grace my moment of triumph.

Vroomnik!

(ALARM SOUNDING)

What is all this confusion?
Get out of the way!

The Lord Kiv is unwell.

Out of the way!

Is it not enough
that one great leader suffers,

without endangering the life of another?

Prepare him at once.

(KIV GROANING)

What do you want?

Anarchy has broken out.
The servants have gone mad.

And good riddance, I say.

All they do is eat you
out of house and home.

(KIV MOANING)

I remember now!

Whatever made you take me out of time
when you did?

I remember it all.
I was on my way to save Peri.

Things have gone too far.
You had released chaos,

and allowed your companion to take part
in an experiment

that would affect all future life
in the universe.

I did try to stop it!

But you could not succeed.
It was too late.

And therefore necessary,
by the direct order of the High Council,

to prevent the consequence of
Crozier's experiment.

Watch, Doctor.
Watch and listen carefully.

A perfect transfer.

I have altered
the basis of all future life.

Kiv's brain is inside the head of

that repulsive Earth being?

No! This is what I wanted to achieve
from the very beginning.

I have transferred only the contents
of his mind into the brain of the woman.

And what of the Earth woman's mind?

And you can transfer any mind

into any body?

When the Earth woman's brain ages,
I can transfer the mental energy

and consciousness of Lord Kiv
into yet another body.

He need never die!

Good, only two guards.

- The gods are with us.
- What do we do?

Two guards, two of us.

- We fight like warriors.
- And what does that mean?

Frontal attack! Naaaaadra!

INQUISITOR: They're caught in
a time bubble.

Everything must be perfect before
they drive home their final attack.

You're using Yrcanos as an assassin.

It was judged by the High Council
as the most acceptable way,

and Yrcanos will never know
that he was used.

And so they took it upon themselves
to act like second-rate gods?

Warm.

Not cold.

My body is warm.

Oh, wonderful.

Legs...

Toes...

Toes wriggly.

A trunk.

A neck. Strong.

A head, free of pain.

Eyesight.

Colours.

Warm blood inside.

Oh, I like this!

Now I am she.

Alive, within this oh-so-wonderful,
wonderful frame.

And that... cold-blooded reptile thing.

It must, must die!

It already has.

Welcome to your new body.

I wish you could have found
a more attractive one.

Raaadnarr!

(SIL SQUEALING)

Protect me!

I am your lord and master.

(IN SLOW MOTION) No!

No!

- You killed Peri?
- INQUISITOR: We had to act.

With the discovery
that Crozier had made,

the whole course of natural evolution

throughout the universe
would be affected.

But Peri died, Doctor,
because you abandoned her.

We had to end her life

because your negligence
had made it impossible for her to live.

Lies! There's something else
going on here.

The High Council has no right to order
Peri's or anyone else's death.

INQUISITOR: Please, Doctor.

No. I was taken out of time
for another reason.

And I have every intention
of finding out what it is.
