I give the word, turn and dive in the water.
Now!
Why have the human beings been allowed to get so near the river?
Doctor, that voice!
No explanation.
Where is the Robo Patrol for this action?
Not known.
You will take his place until he is found.
The human beings are to be taken to landing area one.
Daleks on earth!
Doctor, how did he...
Leave this to me, dear boy.
I think you'd better let us go.
We do not release prisoners.
We are the masters of the earth.
Not for long.
Obey us or die!
Die?
And just who are you to condemn us to death?
I think we'd better pit our wits against them and defeat them.
Stop!
I can't hear you.
I have heard many similar words from leaders of your different races.
All of them were destroyed.
I warn you, resistance is useless.
Resistance is useless?
Surely you don't expect all the people to welcome you with open arms?
We have already conquered earth.
Conquered the earth?
You poor pathetic creatures, don't you realize?
Before you attempt to conquer the earth, you will have to destroy all living matter.
Take them! Take them!
We are the masters of earth.
Survivors of London,
the Daleks are the masters of earth.
Surrender now and you will live.
Those wishing to surrender must stand in the middle of the streets
and obey orders received.
Message ends.
Obey motorized dustbins and we'll see.
Tyler, I want a word with you.
Jenny.
See if you can find them some food, will you, and look after her ankle.
All right.
You keep your eyes open for David Campbell. He'll be back soon with news of your friends.
Any messages from any other survivors?
No, the African group has faded out completely.
Who's the one with the bad foot?
Me.
Well, let's have a look then.
No bones broken. Why didn't you put a wet bandage on it?
We've only just arrived.
I see. Well, I'll see to this. You get the food.
What are you waiting for?
Well, where do I get the food?
Over there. And while you're at it, sign both your names down on the board.
I'll sign it.
Well, where do I get the food?
Over there. And while you're at it, sign both your names down on the board.
Susan can't work until her ankle's better.
She can do something with her hands sitting at a table, can't she?
But look, look. There. We must attack them, Tyler.
That sounds fine, but how? We can find 15, perhaps 20 men.
Ample.
What are you talking about, ample? A handful of unarmed men against Daleks.
Sometimes I wonder about you, Tyler.
This isn't the 20th century, Dortmund, when thousands of men with bayonets charge machine guns.
Don't lecture me.
Then don't ask the impossible. You've not been out there for ages.
It's almost suicide.
Yes, all right. I know. I'm in this wheelchair, so I can't go myself.
I didn't mean that. You know I didn't mean that.
The new bomb.
Yes. It's finished.
You haven't had it tested, I suppose.
Tested? Don't be a fool. It doesn't need testing. It's all there in my formula.
It's perfect. I tell you, this bomb will destroy the Daleks.
I know. It will work.
Apples, sir.
There are apples there for everyone.
Jenny, you should be filling three or three, sir.
You've been down here so long that you're beginning to think like worms.
We must have some chance of success.
I'm reporting in.
Good. Tyler and I have been having a preliminary chat about the next attack.
We'll be out soon.
Well, I brought a box of apples. Incidentally, that department store's got plenty of stuff in it.
All right. And what about the two men?
Well, when I got down to the embankment, I saw them being taken away, but I couldn't do anything.
That's bad. That's very bad. We could have done with those two men.
Well, I'll tell the two women.
Where were the men taken? Any idea?
From the direction they went.
I think the Daleks have taken them to the source or they've landed at the heliport, Chelsea.
Doctor, I don't understand this at all.
We saw the Daleks destroyed on Skaro. We were there.
My dear boy, what happened in Skaro was a million years ahead of us in the future.
What we're seeing now is about the middle history of the Daleks.
I see.
Well, they certainly look different, don't they?
Look.
Yeah.
They've taken some more prisoners.
What is so different about the Daleks?
Oh, I see. You mean the discs on their backs.
Yes. Perhaps that accounts for their increased mobility.
Do you remember on Skaro, they could only move on metal?
Yes. Yes, quite so. But remember, this is an invasion force.
Therefore, they have to adapt themselves to the planet.
Where are the other two from your patrol?
This man killed them both.
For this, you will be punished.
Continue your patrol.
The prisoners will fall in line.
You know it's good once they get us inside there.
They're not getting me. I'm going to try something. You with me?
Don't be a fool, man. You haven't got a chance.
They're not getting me back in that filthy mine.
The prisoners will remain silent.
Come on!
Don't be a fool! You can't help him now.
Help me!
Kill him!
Any further resistance will be dealt with in the same way.
The prisoners will proceed into the ship.
No, Susan. I don't think we should tell Barbara.
But David, I think we should.
Now listen, Susan. We're going to make an attack on that saucer.
So we'll put off telling her until afterwards.
You mean if the attack's successful, we'll find Ian and my grandfather anyway?
Yes. And if it isn't, well, then they've just disappeared.
All right.
You want to see these?
Oh, yes.
Well, here you are. Then take them. I've got better things to do.
Oh, you're a model of charm and patience, aren't you?
Well, I don't believe in wasting time.
I don't believe in sentiment either.
They asked me to give these out, Jenny.
Oh, just put it down there.
Dessert.
Thank you.
Thank you, Barbara.
Oh, what are these things?
Oh, they're the Daleks' inventions. They've got a robe on them.
No, Susan, I told you. You've got it wrong.
We took these from dead human beings.
There aren't that many Daleks on Earth.
They needed helpers.
So they operated on some of their prisoners and turned them into robots.
I see.
The transfer, as the Daleks call the operation, controls the human brain, well, at least for a time.
Well, what happens then? Do they revert and become human again?
No, they die.
I've seen the Robos when they break down.
They go insane. They smash their heads against walls.
They throw themselves off buildings or into the river.
The river?
That's what it was.
Oh, Daleks. Everything they touch turns into a horrible sort of nightmare.
Are they still doing these transfer operations, David?
Oh, yes. They keep up their numbers of Robomen.
They got my brother last year.
That's another reason why they land their saucers at the heliport.
That's where the Daleks take the prisoners and operate on them.
Once they've got you on board a saucer, there isn't a hope.
Yes, the work of a genius, dear boy.
Yes, pretty impressive.
And absolutely escape-proof.
Sure.
Only on the surface, my friends.
Move!
Out!
You will move one by one,
slowly into the prison cell.
Move!
York, Griffiths and Mould.
Move! York, Griffiths and Mould.
Move!
Is that the one?
Yes, he spoke of resistance.
His words betrayed greater intelligence
than normal inhuman beings.
Give them the test!
I had a good look into that corridor.
Did you notice the television eyes round about?
Yes, I did. There aren't any in here.
No.
I'll tell you what I did see, Doctor.
What I took to be a loading bay door.
Of course, it could be guarded outside.
It will be.
Yes, nevertheless, it has possibilities.
Ruffall, you can't get the door open.
There's no escape, I tell you.
My young friend, don't be so pessimistic.
What is your name, by the way?
Craddock. Jack Craddock.
Well, Mr. Jack Craddock, don't be such a defeatist.
Our job is to try and get out of here, and quickly.
You're just fooling yourselves. You don't know the darks.
Once they've got you inside a saucer, you're finished.
Craddock, tell us, how did it happen?
The invasion of Earth, everything.
You've been on a moon station or something?
Yes, quite so.
Yes.
Well, meteorites came first.
And Earth was bombarded with them about ten years ago.
Cosmic storm, the scientists called it.
Well, the meteorites stopped, everything settled down, and then...
people began to die of this new kind of plague.
Yes, that explains your poster, dear boy.
Jam bombs, hmm?
Yeah.
Daleks were up in the sky, just waiting for Earth to get weaker.
Whole continents of people were wiped out.
Asia, Africa, South America.
Used to say the Earth had a smell of death about it.
Why, Craddock?
What were the doctors and the scientists doing about it?
Oh, well, they came up with some new kind of drug, but it was too late then.
Why?
What happened next?
Well, the plague had split the world into tiny little communities.
Too far apart to combine and fight,
and too small individually to stand any chance against invasion.
Divide and conquer?
Hmm.
About six months after the meteorite fall, that's when the saucers landed.
Cities were razed to the ground, others were simply occupied.
Anyone who resisted was destroyed.
Some people were captured and were turned into robomen, the slaves of the Daleks.
They caught other human beings, and many of them were shipped to the vast mining areas.
No one escapes the robomen's seat of that.
They were our own people, made to work against us.
And the Daleks knew that.
Knew how they'd humiliated and degraded us.
They are the masters of Earth.
But why, Craddock?
That's the one thing you haven't told us.
What is it that the Daleks want on Earth?
I don't know.
Something under the ground.
It's turned the whole of Bedfordshire into a gigantic mine area.
Why?
What are they digging for?
I don't know.
Suppose we forget all this blab about Bedfordshire.
Have either of you seen this?
All radio wave bands are open.
Rebels of London, this is our last offer.
Our final warning.
Leave your hiding places.
Show yourselves in the open streets.
You will be fed and watered.
Work is needed from you.
But the Daleks offer you life.
Rebel against us and the Daleks will destroy London completely.
You will all die.
The males, the females, the descendants.
Rebels of London, come out of your hiding places.
The Daleks offer you life.
Come out of your hiding places.
We'll come out of our hiding place with this.
What is it, Doctor?
This bomb will shatter the casing of the Daleks.
We don't need to run or hide anymore.
We'll make them run.
We've got enough.
Listen carefully.
They've issued an ultimatum.
We'll give our answer tonight.
Tyler and I both agree that the best place for an attack would be the heliport where they land the flying saucers.
A frontal attack?
Yes, a frontal attack.
Of course.
We have the superior weapon now.
One success will give our people hope again.
One victory will set this country, the whole of Europe, alight.
That's all we need.
One victory.
At the heliport, how do we get within throwing range?
The heliport's fringered buildings were covered right up to the perimeter.
The Daleks can fire at us long before we can use the bombs.
This will be a surprise attack.
As soon as the first bomb is thrown, the surprise is over and we shall be penned in the buildings, remember?
All right, Baker. We know we'll have to get closer.
I know.
Who's there?
Well?
We could get right into the middle of the Daleks without them suspecting anything if we used this.
How?
Some of your men could disguise themselves as robo-men.
They could pretend to be escorting a batch of prisoners to the saucer or something.
It'll work.
Yes, it'll work.
We'll attack the saucer in one hour from now.
What is that you've got there?
Magnifying glass. I just picked it up.
Hey, Doctor, come and look at this.
Hmm?
Look.
What do you make of this?
I wouldn't touch it.
Hmm. Let me have that bar up there for a moment, will you?
Is it glass or something?
I should say it was more advanced than that.
Well, now, let's try a little experiment, hmm?
All right.
Hey.
Hmm?
You see? It responds, magnetized.
That profound discovery, mister, doesn't help us.
Why did the Daleks put it there in the first place?
Now, that's a very good question, dear boy.
Suppose you were a Dalek and you found yourself locked up in this room.
How would you get out?
Push a door up?
My dear young man, the Daleks have only feelers, no hands.
They use their brains, not brute force.
You mean this is some sort of a key?
That's the very word, key. A key in a crystal box.
You open the box, take out the key and use it.
That is precisely what the Dalek would do.
Yes, but what are we going to do, Doctor?
Look at that little light up there.
Yes.
I see.
And the box is transparent.
Quite.
Let me have that little thing, will you?
And this?
Yes, that. Thank you.
Now, we have to...
We have to make sure that we hit the correct refractive,
otherwise we shall get showered with crystal glass.
Ah, refractive rubbish.
The Daleks don't leave things like this about for you to help yourselves.
My dear boy, if they had to deal with a man of your talents,
they'd need hardly fear, need they?
Now, do sit down and rest, please.
Oh, dear, now where were we?
Ah, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Now, x equals gamma, that means roughly 2.5%,
so that should give us a curve of round about 80 degrees.
Oh, by the way,
did you take three-dimensional graph geometry at your school?
No, Doctor, only Boyle's Law.
What a pity, what a pity.
So we shall have to boil this down now, shan't we?
Well, now then, let's see.
We'll start third from the left,
and then I'll follow it from the right and straight over.
Right, now put that bar there.
Right.
And watch your eyes, because, you know, it might be nasty.
Are we ready?
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
And a great big pumpkin turn.
Hey, look at that.
Move that and shut up, will you?
Pay attention.
Let me have a bar, please.
You know, Doctor, sometimes you astound me.
Only sometimes, dear boy.
Oh, what's happened to your memory?
Don't you remember we know that the Daleks can use static electricity?
Of course.
Hey, how do you know so much about them?
The Daleks, I mean.
Oh, we met them once before.
Yes, and we happen to outwit them too.
Please go away, will you?
Oh, dear, dear, dear, dear.
Now, all we have to do is to slide this bar back here.
Oh.
And the self-same bar slides back into place here through electricity.
And it's held in place by magnetic force.
Precisely.
Now, I want you to give him a hand in a minute.
Just turn that pole under there, will you?
There, you see?
See what you mean.
Like poles repel, eh?
Yes, precisely.
Now we've created a force field.
Right, now turn the pole round.
Now, come on, give him a hand.
Quickly.
Come on.
You're a genius.
Yes, and they really feel the strength.
Now, let's get out of here and be crafty.
Right.
You have a special visit with a great situation.
Get going, will you?
Get your hands off me.
He will be robotized.
Oh, dear, I...
Oh, dear.
There they are.
Now what do we do?
Well, as soon as Tyler's attack group arrives, we start throwing these.
Now, press down, we'll move to the table.
Take off his coat.
At least the ties him.
No, no.
Tyler, please, what are you doing?
No.
No, no.
Let me go now.
Please.
Let me go.
Stand by.
Take the prisoners into the ship.
Wait.
In which sector were these prisoners taken?
Sector four.
No patrol has been ordered in sector four.
No.
Attack warning.
Get the prisoners inside.
Get down.
All right.
Section five, move forward.
Seal off the area.
Right, now spread out.
Try and feed the prisoners before you use those bombs.
We are under attack.
Ripple to main ramp.
General alert.
Ripple to main ramp.
Disregard.
Commence the operation.
Good evening, LT.
