VWORP! VWORP!
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.
BEEPING
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.
TAPPING
Shh! What's that?
TAPPING AND SCRAPING
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...
METALLIC THRUMMING
Stone trees are all very well.
The next forest I walk through, I want them all to be made of wood.
RUMBLING CRASH
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?
HE CHUCKLES
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.
WHIRRING
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.
WHIRRING
Let's try this one.
WHIRRING
KNOCKING
WHIRRING
SHE SHRIEKS
WHIRRING
SHE SCREAMS
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.
SHE SQUEALS
Stay where you are!
You will move ahead of us and follow my directions.
This way.
Immediately!
I said immediately!
FIRE!
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 need 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.
HE SIGHS
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?
THE DOCTOR GROANS
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?
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.
DALEK: Are you ready?
Yes, all right.
I'm coming now.
BARBARA: 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.
BARBARA: 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.
THUNDER CRASHES
It's like a fever.
Yes. His breathing's so bad.
DALEK: 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.
THUNDER CRASHES
Oh!
Hurry, Susan.
Hurry, Susan!
IAN: Don't stop for anything. Straight there, straight back.
An hour might make all the difference.
Must...
THUNDER CRASHES
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.
SUSAN COUGHS
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!
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!
BUBBLING
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.
DOCTOR GRUNTS
Ian, hurry!
Now, see if I can get inside it.
All clear in the corridor? BOTH: 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...
THEY LAUGH
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!
ALARM WAILS
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.
BANGING
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!
CRASH
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!
HE SCREAMS
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.
ALL GASP
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.
GROWLING
SQUELCHING
What was it? Did you see anything?
Yes, it was... Kristas. Stand guard here, will you? Right.
GROWLING
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.
HE SCREAMS
SCREAMING
Stay here.
What is it? What's happened to Elyon?
WATER GURGLES
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!
SHE SQUEALS
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.
DOCTOR: 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.
CRACKING
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.
BOOM!
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.
HE YELLS
Help me! Help me!
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.
ALL DALEKS: 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!
HE SCREAMS
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!
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.
THEY SHOUT
ALARM WAILS
There's another one!
Quickly, Barbara, get to it!
40...
Barbara!

Barbara! Try and slide yourself out!
I can't move! They're pressing down harder!
I'm through!
You go next!
Exterminate!

Nothing can stop the Daleks...
Under attack! Under attack!
Exterminate!
1.
MUTED BOOM
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.
DALEK GROANS
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.
VWORP! VWORP!
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.
