Next stop Earth.
Oh, oh, I'm glad to hear that, Bret.
Now, you've got some serious thinking to do.
Katarina, check up on that door and see that it's secure.
Remember, Chen will have allies on Earth, and...
Keep back!
Who are you? What do you want? Release that girl!
Never mind that! Who's in charge of this thing?
Answer me!
I am.
Where are you heading?
Earth.
Change course.
Change it!
Where to?
Not Earth.
Go to the planet Kembel.
Kembel!
Shut up and do as I say!
Kembel's deserted now.
It's as bad as Desperus.
Nowhere's as bad as Desperus!
The Daleks are on Kembel!
So?
The Daleks are no help! We're going back to Earth.
Then I shall be sent back to the Devil's planet!
No, whoever the Daleks are, they'll help me.
You don't know about the Daleks...
Just do as I say! To Kembel!
Kembel!
Only slight damage was sustained.
We are ready to continue pursuit of Earth vessel.
What is course of Earth vessel?
Back on course - seven, oh, seven - heading for Earth.
Contact Mavic Chen through secret communication red.
He must recapture the Taranium and
exterminate creatures who took it.
I obey.
Pursuit vessel, return to base.
We obey.
Destroy pursuit ship.
They have failed in their mission.
We will not tolerate mistakes!
We're changing course.
Now, release that girl.
Do you think I'm a fool?
The course is changed. We're heading for Kembel.
It doesn't feel as if we've changed.
Well, look up at the screen and you'll see.
Well, open the door from the control panel - I'll rush him!
The girl will be dead before the door's half open!
Can we talk to him in there?
Yes, I'll channel the talk-back.
Let's try a little bluff.
Now, then! Listen to me, whoever you are.
Bring that girl in here, or we will press a button
and you will go outside the door - into space.
Then the girl dies too!
If you open the outside door
I'll press the inner release and then we'll all be dead!
We can't get through to him - he's crazy.
We've got to get Katarina out of there!
Stop that!
Turn the talk-back on again!
There's no point.
Turn it on again, before he really hurts her!
Look, he can't kill her or he hasn't a hostage.
You... animal!
Now that's just for starters. Do as I say!
Change course!
Now, that's more like it!
Take him back to Kembel. Take him back to Kembel!
Let the Daleks deal with him.
Yes, and us.
Oh, don't worry, dear boy, We'll find a way out.
Stop that or you're dead!
I can't sacrifice everything for the sake of that one girl!
Listen, without us you wouldn't have got off Kembel at all
and nothing'd be worth bothering about!
All right, so we all go back together.
But without me, I doubt if you'd have got this far either.
Yes, all right, but I won't let you hurt Katarina.
We'll head back for Kembel.
As the Doctor says, on the way we may find a way to get her out of there.
You won't.
Not that one! Katarina!
Katarina!
She pressed the wrong button, Doctor.
She may have wanted to, dear boy.
She wanted to save our lives.
It must have been... quick.
I hope she's reached her Place of Perfection.
Yes, but not that way.
She didn't understand. She couldn't understand.
She wanted to save our lives.
And perhaps the lives of all the other beings of the Solar System.
I hope she's found her Perfection.
Oh, how I shall always remember her...
as one of the Daughters of the Gods.
Yes, as one of the Daughters of the Gods!
Dalek Supreme
You have failed to get back the Core of the Time Destructor.
We shall get it back.
You show too much trust in Mavic Chen.
Mavic Chen is hungry for power.
We have offered him more power than he has ever thought of.
He will return to us the Taranium Core.
Supposing he fails?
He will not. He has been given instructions.
What instructions?
It is not necessary for you to know.
As representative of the largest of the outer galaxies
I have the right to know!
Representative Trantis, the Daleks
will not fail and neither will any of its allies.
If anything tries to stop us we will destroy it.
Nothing will be allowed to stand in the
way of our plan to conquer the Universe!
Hmm, judging by the position of those planets
we shall land quite soon.
Yes, and that's the problem. It won't be easy.
Oh, haven't we sufficient power drive
to land safely, hmm?
Yes, but we can't land at the main landing area
remember, this is Chen's space vessel!
Yes, you've got a point there.
Where can we land, hmm?
An Experimental Plant
a little way out from Central City
I have a friend there who I think will help us.
So that's our traitor.
Yes - Bret Vyon. Bred on Mars, Colony Sixteen.
Joined Space Security Service, 3990.
Gained First Rank, 3995.
Gained Second Rank, 3998.
You have a good memory.
Thank you, Guardian.
And he looks like that?
Exactly like that. How could he look otherwise?
Guardian, have you no faith in computerised data?
Every faith. But this information is vital.
The man is dangerous and must be caught.
I would hate there to be any mistake...
A mistake is impossible.
Our computer network contains precise chemical details of every man
woman, and child within our Solar System.
There are forty billion people in the Solar System.
Doesn't that provide some scope for error?
There is no scope for error.
Very well, have it sent out to all stations.
Now, what about Gantry, the other traitor?
We're working on his Identity Projection now.
It should be ready shortly.
Since Vyon is in command, I gave priority to his Projection.
Excellent!
Excellent! Vyon and Gantry were the two
who never reported in from the planet Kembel, am I right?
Yes, Guardian.
Then they are the two who took over my Spar.
It's possible they may be in association with some other creatures.
But we don't know... where from.
When you catch Vyon and Gantry
you catch them, too.
You've done well.
I want all Space Security agents called back to Earth.
If the traitors are not caught at the landing zone
then Central City must be cordoned off until they are found.
And Lizan! They will be killed on sight.
Give out the instruction.
Yes, Guardian.
I think that takes care of that.
You know, Karlton, some of your agents are getting too good.
We don't want to, er, spoil things for ourselves at this stage.
They won't.
I've already insisted that all future operations
shall be cleared with me before they're begun.
If you'd done that in the first place, we wouldn't be in this spot.
Cory's mission was one that he kept to himself.
It was done without official sanction of any kind.
And you could hardly have stopped the others, after his distress signal.
You must do better than that. I would hate to have to lose you.
You know you can trust me!
Look, the drive force is very weak.
But can we land?
Yes, but I don't know what'll happen.
The pull is too hard.
We can't crash now!
I'm afraid I may not be able to help it.
Yes, well remember, Bret
we've got some valuable cargo on board.
Mmm.
What, the Taranium?
And the Doctor.
Yes, I heard that!
Now, don't concern yourselves over me.
I can look after myself.
The most important factor is this Taranium.
That's it. Stand by!
Only because of the Taranium am I on the council!
It will be returned.
It's got to be!
I want that position, right beside the Daleks.
I'll govern the Universe!
Surely Trantis will be first after the Daleks?
Trantis! Trantis! They don't like him.
Agreed that his is the largest galaxy
but he's already demanding too much say in what goes on.
They'll want him out of the way...
and I have a plan which may help them to achieve just that!
Then it'll be me, Mavic Chen, who'll be next in line!
And I will be there, behind you.
Of course!
Of course.
Is your Special Force dealing with Bret Vyon?
Not completely.
I thought it wiser to use some of the ordinary Security men.
Hmm, very good.
We'll need your men next time. Who's in command?
Kingdom.
Kingdom! Ruthless, hard, efficient!
And, er, does exactly as ordered.
Quite.
Ah ha!
I see.
Carry out Emergency Plan D.
The traitors have arrived.
Good.
But not at the landing area.
What?
They have crash-landed at the Experimental Station.
No one here.
We'll have to wait. Come on!
Kingdom is here.
Good.
Come in, Kingdom, come in!
You know what's happened?
Yes.
Do you know how many there are?
Three - Bret Vyon and two strangers.
They look as though they could come from Earth, but are oddly dressed.
None of them can leave the plant.
Good.
They're in the main block.
I'm going to capture them myself.
Before you do that...!
There is something you have to know.
Look, where on earth is this Daxtar?
He shouldn't be long.
Well, I think we're wasting valuable time sitting
around here waiting for this man, Baxtar or Daxtor or what...
whatever he calls himself, hmm!
Doctor, Daxtar's in a position to help us.
Oh, but surely everyone must know that
Chen's spaceship has crash-landed only a short distance away from here.
There must be hundreds of people looking for us! Ho!
Doctor, there are very few people allowed near this place
it's a restricted area.
Look, don't you understand that Chen will probably have returned to Earth by this time.
He'd have realised that I was on man on the planet Kembel.
I expect we're wanted men by this time.
But this is an experimental plant!
There's no scientists, no staff, nobody!
We might just as well have landed ourselves on an empty planet.
What on Earth is happening?
Doctor, I don't know any more than you do.
Has it occurred to you, by any chance, that we
might have deliberately walked into an ambush? Mmm? Hmm!
What's the point in standing here just waiting to be caught?
Because Daxtar is the only man who will believe our story.
What story?
So you will understand that it's absolutely
essential that this emm of Taranium is returned to me.
Of course.
Every precaution for its safety will be taken.
Good. See to it.
She actually believed you.
Of course.
I thought for a moment you were
really going to tell her about the Daleks.
Oh come! We need that Taranium back
but we can't allow any more people to know the plan.
I was watching her all the time.
She never doubted anything, even momentarily.
A good security agent.
A heroic war cry to apparent peaceful ends
is one of the greatest weapons a politician has.
Mavic Chen? The Daleks? I can't believe it!
The Doctor saw it.
Quite true.
And then he gave a rather pompous speech of
self-satisfaction and handed over the core of the Time Destructor to the Daleks.
Yes, they intend to capture or destroy the Solar System
and Chen is helping them.
But why?
A lust for more power than he already has
universal power!
It's incredible!
Oh don't worry about its incredibility!
We've got to do something to stop it.
Yes, quite so.
So, whatever plans you have, it's essential that
Steven and I return to the planet Kembel.
I want to recover something of unique value.
You didn't leave the Taranium there?
No, no, the Doctor has it.
Good. That gives us a little time.
Very little. We've got to move fast.
Of course. We must get down to the security buildings at once.
The planets must all be alerted.
A combined task force must be sent off to Kembel immediately.
No!
What do you mean, Doctor? What are you playing at?
I suggest you ask Daxtar what he is playing at.
I don't understand. Look, this situation must be dealt with at once!
What price is Mavic Chen paying you for your treachery, hmm?
Treachery? I've know this man all my life. He's no traitor.
Long acquaintance is no guarantee for honesty. Ask him!
Ask him how he came to know that the core
of their Time Destructor was Taranium, hmm!
Don't be so ridiculous!
One of you mentioned it when you were telling me.
Why you, yourself, mentioned it when you said how Chen handed the stuff over.
I did not, sir! How long have you been in this conspiracy?
What conspiracy?
You're making a stupid mistake!
There is you, and Chen, and how many of the others?
Or what others are involved?
Look, Bret. You've known me for many years.
You know I wouldn't be mixed up in anything like this?
How did you know about the Taranium?
He told me! For heaven's sake, you must have heard him.
You too!
Traitor!
You brainless idiot!
How many times have I told you about taking lives?
We have other ways and means of dealing with evil doers.
He deserved worse.
Possibly! But now we shall never know whom we can trust!
A signal from the planet Earth.
Report.
Mavic Chen has almost recaptured the Taranium Core
and will be returning with it to land here in two Earth days.
Have the fugitives been exterminated?
The report did not say.
But it is believed that they come from the
tenth galaxy under the leadership of Trantis.
That is not true.
It is a plot by Mavic Chen to discredit me!
He is jealous of my power in the outer galaxies.
We shall see.
Has the report been confirmed?
No. It was a suspicion by the Earth people.
It is Chen!
He is trying to undermine the balance of the Galactic Council.
When Mavic Chen returns we shall discover the truth.
By then, those who stole the Taranium will have been identified and exterminated!
I'm going to get into the security building and send out the warning myself.
And how do you propose to do that?
Yes, we're probably being searched for now by other "friends" of Chen.
I mean, Daxtar clearly knew about the disappearance of the Taranium.
Yes.
Possibly, we filled in the story long before he gave himself away.
I could try and bluff my way out.
Well, it's worth a try!
Well, you haven't thought of a better idea.
Yes, possible.
If you hadn't killed Daxtar, of course, there wouldn't be any need to.
Of course there would.
We wouldn't have been able to believe anything he said.
Well, there's not much point in standing here discussing it any longer.
We shall have to try out your scheme
though I very much doubt of any sort of success that it might have.
Sara!
Bret.
You're just the person we need.
I doubt that.
Which of you has the Taranium?
Run for it!
Give me the Taranium!
Sara! Please listen...
Give me the Taranium!
You too?
Borkar! Borkar, where are you?
Yes?
The two fugitives have escaped.
All exits to the main block are to be guarded.
That's Bret Vyon!
Yes, he's dead.
The others must be killed as well.
They will be shot on sight...
But aim for the head!
