"Connect me with the Bannermen leader." "Gavrok here, go ahead." "I understand you're offering a reward for the Chimeron queen." "Affirmative." "One million units." "I've found her." "She's at a place called Shangri-La, in south Wales, Western hemisphere, Earth." "Now, lock into this signal to guide you in." "The reward will be yours when we arrive." "End transmission." "Thank you." "What for?" "For lending me your dress." "For making an effort to be kind." "Aw, I'd help anyone in trouble if I could." "Mel, there's something you should know." "What an unexpected bonus." "You're the traveller in time they call the Doctor." "Your death will make me richer still." "If you kill for money, let the girl go." "She's worth nothing to you." "I don't just kill for money." "It's also something I enjoy." "My bounty hunter will be paid off sooner than he thinks." "Arm the beacon hunter." "My life's at risk." "I'm going to trust you." "And I think you deserve a full explanation." "I think you'd better close the door." "# You are my honey, honey, honeysuckle" "# I am your bee #" "Good morning!" "What a beautiful morning it is." "Sure is." "By the way, have you seen anything weird fall out of the sky?" "Oh, dear me, no." "I've seen many things fall out of the sky, but nothing which could be described as weird." "What about lights?" "Anything like that?" "Oh, there are strange lights in the night sky all the time." "Not just the Aurora Borealis, mind, but low pulsing lights on occasions and low shooting stars." "Uh-huh." "Um, anything in the last day or so?" "I shall ask my bees." "They know everything that happens." "Sure." "Well, I reckon we've taken up enough of your time." "If you stayed a bit longer, young man, you might understand." "Take a look at this butterfly." "Arguably, one of the most beautiful creatures in the whole of nature." "Yet, if you were to see a pupae, you'd think it was the ugliest sight you've ever seen." "But you can't have one without the other." "And so I'm the last Chimeron queen." "My planet is right now in the grip of the invaders." "My people are dead." "Poor Mel's exhausted." "I think we'd better let her get some sleep." "Billy, I feel like a walk." "Sure." "The hills around here are beautiful." "We can go somewhere really special." "But I can't walk too far with the baby." "Ah, I never said anything about walking." "What is it?" "She's a Vincent." "My pride and joy." "Ooh!" "My head." "Do you feel all right?" "Nothing hurt or broken?" "Hmm?" "But what happened to that guy with the gun?" "I'm afraid he was paid in kind." "You see this signal beacon?" "It exploded from the inside." "Obviously the Bannermen locked into his signal and fired off a high-impulse beam right along his transmission track." "So they...they killed him?" "I'm afraid so." "Ionised." "And this is all that's left of him?" "Yes." "A poignant reminder that violence always rebounds on itself." "But we must warn the others that an attack is imminent." "# Mi mi #" "Good morning." "Let's start with a song." "# When the red, red, robin comes bob, bob bobbin' along #" "Mel, Mel!" "Are you all right?" "Oh, nothing a good night's sleep wouldn't cure." "Well, I'm afraid that'll have to wait." "Do you know where Delta and Billy have gone?" "Well, they didn't tell me." "Billy was taking her to some beauty spot, I think." "Well, we've got to find them as quick as we can." "And organise an evacuation of the camp." "The Bannermen are on their way." "I'll get Murray to organise the tour party." "Good." "But they'll be one short." "He was ionised." "Yes." "But I must try and find Delta and Billy." "Do you know where they might be, Ray?" "Well, there are a couple of beauty spots in the area we could try." "And also a few special places only known to Billy and me." "Well, we're gonna have to keep looking for them until we find them." "But first we must convince Burton to evacuate the camp." "Mel, you find Murray." "Ray, come with me." "Right." "Whoa!" "You're a bit of a heavyweight, aren't you?" "The most rapid growth occurs in the lymphoid state." "She'll double her size and her weight in the next few hours." "Come on." "Now, let me try and get this right." "Now, are you telling me that you're not the Happy Hearts Holiday Club from Bolton, but instead are spacemen in fear of an attack from some other spacemen?" "And, because of the danger, you want me to evacuate the entire camp?" "An excellent summary, Mr Burton." "Now, if you start right away then we'll be able to get them to safety." "Oh, well, if that is all that is needed, it should be easy." "Oh, and by the way, can we have space buns and tea afterwards?" "Or don't they drink tea on Mars?" "I thought you might be a little sceptical." "What can I do to convince you?" "Aw, it's just a waste of time, Doctor." "Listen, Mr Burton, if you don't act right away, innocent people will die!" "I will do whatever I can to convince you" "I'm not suffering from some sort of delusion." "All right, Doctor." "How about showing us your spaceship, eh?" "Oh, can I come, too, Doctor?" "Of course, but let's go quickly." "Murray!" "Murray, wake up!" "Murray!" "What's the matter?" "There's an emergency, Murray." "We have to get ready to leave as soon as the bus is fixed." "What kind of emergency?" "The Bannermen warfleet's on its way." "You stay there, I'll get changed." "Okay." "It's called a TARDIS." "An acronym for Time And Relative Dimensions In Space." "Really?" "Mmm." "Couldn't we take it for bit of a spin, Doctor?" "Yes, with pleasure, but first things first." "We must clear the camp." "Right." "Everybody out!" "Attention!" "Attention!" "Everybody out!" "Listen!" "Everybody out!" "Now, look!" "We should quickly pack and then wait at the bus until we're ready to leave!" "Well, what's the big rush, Murray?" "It's nice here." "Truth is, there's a Bannermen warfleet on its way here." "Nice and easy, folks!" "Don't panic!" "Nice and easy!" "Nice and easy!" "Don't panic!" "I see you've got everything under control, Murray." "We must go and see the crystal." "If it's ready, then you must leave!" "You won't see me for dust, Doctor!" "Good morning, everyone." "This is a matter of some urgency." "Could all staff, without exception, assemble in my office immediately." "Could all employees..." "It's almost re-grown." "Just another half hour." "And then you've gotta leave, whether I come back or not." "Back from where?" "I've got to find Delta." "Mel, you stay here and organise things." "Come on, let's go, Ray." "Take care of the crystal!" "Count on me, Doctor!" "And I called you all here at such short notice because we are facing a crisis." "Now, what I would like you all to do is to go back to your chalets and pack whatever you need for one night." "I have already ordered a bus to take us all away from here." "You will spend the night in Llandridnod Wells and return in a day or so." "Any questions?" "Splendid." "I don't normally like running away, sir." "What's up?" "Ah, well, it's because we're facing an..." "It's because, well, we are in danger, you know, of..." "Well, it's top secret." "I've got a man here now from the Ministry of Defence," "so, look sharp, will you?" "Are you staying, sir?" "Well, of course, they would have to drag me away from here, eh?" "Then I'll stay, too, Major." "Thank you, Vinny, but you will all have to go." "That noise she makes, it's almost like singing." "It's partly a song and partly a defence mechanism." "Against the Bannermen." "Did you come here with Billy often?" "We called it Fern Dell." "We used to play here as children." "But I don't see his bike anywhere." "Could it be hidden?" "Oh, no." "Not the Vincent." "It's just too big." "Well, they're not here." "Come on!" "Come on!" "Go on now!" "Fortunately, they didn't have much packing to do." "How's the crystal coming?" "I'm trying to use mind power to make it grow faster, but I haven't had much luck." "I'm doing this with grave misgivings, but I cannot risk my staff for it." "Just like a captain, Mr Burton." "Major, actually." "I am still not sure what I saw in that police box, but I cannot risk my staff for it." "You're doing the right thing." "She's somewhere in that quadrant." "It's a pity we had to destroy the beacon when we killed that mercenary." "We'll have to scan the whole area until we find some trace of advanced technology emissions." "I don't know much about crystalline structures, but that looks about cooked." "Yes, it looks ready to me, Mel." "Well!" "Here goes." "Oh, this is the end of the road, Doctor." "I don't know where else to try." "Ah!" "These tyre marks are of a heavy motorcycle and sidecar." "Come on." "If I can get the hatchling safely to the Brood planet, then I can take my case to judgment." "They will then send an expeditionary force to get rid of Gavrok and his Bannermen." "Well, I'll do whatever I can to help, Delta." "It's Ray and The Doctor." "They're sure in a hurry." "The Bannermen!" "Oh, thank heavens!" "Why is everyone in such a lather?" "Found you at last." "Gavrok?" "Yes." "We overheard the space mercenary give the position of the camp." "There's a price on your head." "Yeah?" "Well, where is this guy?" "I reckon we've got a score to settle." "He's been ionised!" "Murray's fixing the bus." "It shouldn't be long." "Then you can leave." "So we got to go back, now!" "Transmitter identified." "Triangulate and set course." "Ain't no use, Weismuller." "There's nothing out there!" "I don't wanna be an old "I told you so", but if you had listened to me before..." "Hey, Weismuller, you think that's it?" "Well, I don't know." "I ain't never seen a satellite before." "I always thought that they'd be smaller, somehow." "Look, I don't know what's going on around here, but I think we better get out of here real fast." "Halt!" "Hi, there." "We weren't going anywhere." "Where is the Chimeron queen?" "Beats me, chief!" "Hey, that's the property of Uncle Sam." "Where is he?" "Your Uncle Sam." "No, you don't understand!" "Boy, you sure get sore real quick." "I will lead the main party." "You two, guard them." "Come." "Well, we're all gassed up and ready to go." "Then you must leave at once, Murray." "What about The Doctor and Delta?" "We can follow you in the TARDIS, wherever you go." "I know, but I feel bad about leaving you here." "It's your last chance to hitch a ride." "No, I made an arrangement, I'd better stick to it." "Thanks anyway." "Well, it's time to get the show on the road." "As they say around here, "See you later, alligator!"" "In a while, crocodile." "Bye!" "Bye!" "Bye-bye!" "So, one of them escaped." "You killed all those innocent people." "Was the Chimeron queen amongst them?" "Yes." "Yes, she's dead." "Would you lie?" "You saw what happened to the bus, no one could have survived that!" "The Chimerons are finished!" "Bannermen!" "Attack!" "No!" "You lied!" "Stop!" "It would be extremely foolish of you to kill her." "Keep her as a hostage." "She's far more use to you alive." "Kill any other survivors." "Tie these two up." "They will not be hostages, but bait." "Stop!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "He's not following us." "Mel is still in there, Doctor, and Burton." "My immediate objectives are to set them free and find Delta and the baby somewhere safe." "Can you hear something?" "I can't hear anything." "Those marks behind her ear are high frequency antennae." "What are you picking up?" "It's not clear, but it's coming from down there." "There's nothing there, except old Goronwy's place." "Does he keep bees?" "Yeah." "How did you know that?" "It's his bees who are telling us to come." "Quick!" "You think they would?" "No, I don't think they would." "I wonder if you could help us..." "Of course, of course!" "I am Goronwy." "Oh, and I am The Doctor." "Oh, there you are." "Have some of that, lovely." "Is it possible for these people to stay with you for a few hours?" "Yes, of course." "Come inside and have a cup of tea." "Come along." "There we are." "Take it." "She likes a bit of honey." "I'm gonna have to leave at once." "I wonder if you could lend me a pillowcase and a broom handle." "Oh, I should think so." "Splendid!" "Oh, Billy." "May I borrow your bike?" "All right, Doctor." "But try and be careful though, won't you?" "I'll treat it as if it were the TARDIS." "How dare you?" "The white flag is the accepted signal for truce throughout the civilised universe!" "You may think that might is right, but I can assure you, you won't get away with it." "Who will stop me?" "You?" "With your puny flag?" "And your appeals to fair play and justice, huh?" "I spit on your justice." "Your charm is only matched by your compassion." "Why should I not kill you, right now?" "Because you're in enough trouble already, Gavrok." "Release those prisoners and I will testify that you showed some mercy." "Testify?" "You'll never get me to trial." "I agree to differ." "But you should know that Delta has sworn a statement alleging invasion and genocide of the Chimerons." "You will be brought to account, Gavrok, and made to pay for your actions." "Give me Delta and I will give you your life." "Life?" "What do you know about life, Gavrok?" "You deal in death." "Lies, treachery, and murder are your currency." "You promise life, but, in the end, it will be life which defeats you." "You have said enough." "I've traversed time and space to find the Chimeron queen." "I will not be defeated." "As you will." "I came here under a white flag and I will leave under that same white flag." "And woe betide any man who breaches its integrity." "Now, step aside!" "Release those prisoners!" "Gavrok, it's over!" "You're finished!" "And we're leaving."
