"(DOCTOR WHO THEME)" "Open this, Ixta!" "Ixta, please!" "Please, open it!" " Why?" " Ian Chesterton is in there!" "I thank you, old man, this time you have really given me my victory." "Open it!" "Open it!" "Ian!" "There's a tunnel from the garden into the tomb!" " You came through it?" " Yes... (DOCTOR) Barbara!" "Something terrible, my dear!" "I don't know how to tell you." " Ian..." " I'm all right." "My dear boy!" "I thought you were drowned!" "I nearly was." "Who put that stone back?" " Ixta!" " So he followed me?" "Of course!" "Never mind him, how does that door work?" "I've got it licked!" "We must get Susan up here." "She refused to marry the victim for the sacrifice so will be punished." " She's at the seminary?" " Yes, but she'll be guarded." "Don't worry, I'll get her out." "You stay here." "Thank you." "Watch out for Ixta." "The Chosen Warrior has done well." "With Ian dead, they are at our mercy." "The rewards I promised are yours!" " Thank you." " I have a task for you." " Tell me." " Guard the handmaiden." "Do not let her escape, nor release her to Autloc." "His faith in our gods is wavering." "Why have I been brought here?" "!" "Does Autloc know I am here?" "I am Yetaxa's handmaiden." "She wished to see me!" "Oh, she will see you..." "at the appointed time." "Rest there." "Tlotoxl thanks you." "Do you ask yourself where Ian is?" "I can tell you." "He is dead!" "I don't believe you!" "The old man saw him die." "He knows it to be true!" "Now seven warriors have challenged my command and only I survive!" "Good commanders don't jump to conclusions, Ixta!" "Ian!" " I knew he was lying!" " Yes." " He said you were dead!" " I nearly was." "Let's go." " Where are we going?" " The Tardis." " It'll be light soon." " Yes..." "It'll take him time to get there and back." " I just want to get out of here!" " And history?" " Remains unchanged." " No rewriting?" "This isn't going to be easy." " Well, if we all pull." " Yes, we can pull, but... we'd better do it at an angle." "What we need is a pulley." " The Aztecs don't have the wheel." " I know!" " Grandfather!" " My dear Susan!" "I'll tell you how glad I am to see you later on." "Come on." " Don't waste time." " When the door opens, grab it!" "This won't be as easy as you think." " Let's try, anyway." " Be careful." " Pull!" " Watch out." "It might break." "Wait, wait!" "Let's do it at an angle." "Come along." "That's it." "Right?" "Ready?" "Pull!" "Harder!" "Oh!" " How could he escape?" " You let the girl escape!" "She must be in my power!" " I shall find her." " No, I shall!" " I have another task for you." " Tell me." "Should Autloc learn of the warrior's return, he will believe in Yetaxa." " What can I do?" " His faith in her must be destroyed!" "Is this one Ian's?" " Yes." " Then use it...on Autloc!" "Strike a High Priest?" "There is no greater offence!" "Would you see us humiliated?" "Each day at sunrise, Autloc walks alone in the garden." "Approach him with stealth and strike him down!" "Leave this close at hand." "So that Ian will be blamed!" "This time, Ixta, do not fail me!" " I must try that stone in the garden." " You're right." " I'll need someone to watch." " Me!" "No." "If Susan and I do it, we can let you into the tomb from the other side!" " All right." " Come on!" "Don't worry!" " Oh, we're like drowning people!" " Now, don't worry." "Don't lose hope." "Maybe it's this place." "I feel sometimes as if all the people who have died here are watching, waiting...for me to die, too." "Get down behind that bush." " I'll whistle if anyone comes." " All right." "IAN!" "Look!" "Is he dead?" "No." "(AUTLOC GROANS)" "This is a trap!" "This is mine!" "Ixta gave it to me." "Let's get out of here!" "Hold them!" " This belongs to you?" " Yes!" "I gave it to him." "Ian was helping the handmaiden to escape." "He struck you from behind." "How do you know it was from behind?" "That club belongs to Ian." "Take them away!" "You are the servants of a false goddess!" "She is a false goddess and now Autloc has proclaimed it." "Yet we cannot destroy her until the time is right." "The people would not understand." "The Day of Darkness is a perfect time." "As the Perfect Victim leaves this land, so shall the woman who calls herself Yetaxa also depart." "How shall it be done?" "As the gods appear, may they not also disappear as suddenly?" "I shall arrange it." "I had a vision, Tonila, of a room with three walls." "The false Yetaxa shall be placed in that room and the fourth wall added." "Then order shall be restored." "Of all Aztec men, the High Priest of Knowledge is the most gentle." " Ian didn't hit him, Cameca." " Yet his club was found here." "And as Ian said, he was in the garden." "I know he is innocent." "Yet he is to die." "Yes, butchered by Ixta." "If it is your wish, let our marriage be postponed." "What is it you are making?" "Oh, just something to take my mind off the problems." "Let me intercede with Autloc on your friend's behalf." "It isn't just Tlotoxl we have to contend with." " His kind will destroy this one day." " We cannot stop the will of the gods." "It isn't the will of Yetaxa." " The gods wish an end to sacrifice?" " Yes, and Yetaxa speaks for them." "Autloc is needed, but won't go to the temple." "I shall persuade him to go to Yetaxa, beloved." "I thank you for attending me, Autloc." "Such gratitude is due to Cameca." "Then thank her for me." "My servant did not strike you, Autloc." "The evidence we have proves he did." "If it is true, then I am unworthy of your trust." "Of all people, Autloc, why should I harm you?" "There is some plan here." "Who would benefit most by breaking up our friendship?" "Tlotoxl." "Tlotoxl hates you, I know that, and Ixta does his bidding." "And I am bewildered by what has happened." "I have many doubts, but in this matter I must believe you." "As for the others..." "I do not know if you are Yetaxa." "I do not know what you are." "My servants are in danger!" "Will you see them die?" "Your handmaiden I may be able to protect, but Ian is too closely guarded." "He didn't strike you, Autloc." "He didn't!" "I cannot save him." "There you are, my dear, it's nearly finished." "As is our time together." "I do not know its purpose, but I've always known it would take you away." " Yes, I'm sorry, my dear." " Tomorrow will truly be dark." " For both of us." " Tlotoxl means to destroy Yetaxa?" "He must do to safeguard his own beliefs." "We are a doomed people, my dear, there is no turning back for us." "You're a very fine woman, Cameca, and will always be very dear to me." "Cameca, I must speak with you." " You are sad, Cameca?" " I have lost all that is dear to me." "The same cloud hangs over us." "The sunlight of the truth is darkened and I must know the reason." " Your tragedy is greater than mine." " Yet we may help each other." "I have lost my faith in our traditions, but I keep it in you." "And I in you, High Priest." "See this ornament?" "It proves the title to my dwelling house and all my wealth." "You will take it to the one who guards Yetaxa's handmaiden." "It will turn his head away while you take the girl up to the temple." "I shall do it." "Where will you seek your truth?" "In the wilderness, away from other men." "You shall not search in vain." "And you, Cameca, be happy in the trust I place in you." "May your sacrifice bring pleasure to the gods and peace to our lands." "I thank Tonila for his many gratitudes." "I have come to escort you as you walk among the people before your destiny." "What is to happen to us, Tonila?" "You shall both be punished before the Perfect Victim finds his heaven." "I, Ixta the Chosen Warrior, shall proudly lead you to your glory." "May victory always rest upon your shoulders." "When we have reached the temple steps, bring them on." "We shall have one more meeting, Ian." "Yes...a final one." "Doctor, why won't you listen to me?" "!" "They're all busy at the ceremony." "But they'll be here at any moment!" "Yes, now let me see..." "I think you ought to order Autloc to release Susan and Ian." "In front of everybody?" "Yes, it'll only take me a moment to open the door and..." "The procession has started." "Are you ready to attend?" " Where is Autloc?" " He will not be present." "Why not?" "What have you done?" "Nothing." "He has gone into the wilderness." "When will he return?" "Never." "I greet you, Cameca." "Do you know this ornament?" "Autloc desires that it shall be yours." "It is the title to his dwelling and his possessions." " Give it to me." " You must earn it." " How?" " Send away the warriors outside." " What are you doing?" " I've come to help you." "As I give you this, so you shall close your eyes." "Autloc desires that the handmaiden leaves here with me." "There is position and honour in this ornament." "Somebody had to make up his mind for him!" "Come, quickly!" " She must go to the temple with me." " Go on, Susan." "The Perfect Victim stands before the people." "Darkness approaches." "Here is the order of my plan." "We despatch Ian and the girl and the sky will grow black." "Next, the Perfect Sacrifice." "Then we will retire into the temple and bind the false Yetaxa." "As light appears in the sky, we shall stand in our places." "Autloc has gone into the wilderness." "You shall be High Priest of Knowledge." "I shall be at your side." "Grandfather!" "Grandfather!" "Oh, my dear Susan!" " Where is Barbara?" " She's in there." "Barbara!" "Barbara!" "I honour the Doctor." "I bring you your handmaiden." "That was a very brave thing to do, Cameca." " But you can't stay here." " I hoped I might stay by your side." "Then think of me." "Think of me." "Why do you delay?" "!" "He has betrayed us." "Ian and the girl have gone!" "We cannot wait." "The darkness will come and go." "Sacrifice must be made!" "Kill him!" "Escort Yetaxa to the sacrificial altar." "(TONILA) Bring those who are to be punished." "Where is Tlotoxl?" "The ceremony cannot begin without him." "He comes with the handmaiden." "She shall be pierced with thorns." "False goddess, you have betrayed us!" "I shall destroy you!" "IXTA!" "IXTAI" "Run, Barbara!" "Ixta!" "Ixta!" "AAAHH!" "It's opening!" "GO!" "Quickly!" "Yetaxa is gone!" "Let them go!" "Great God of Sun and the Warriors," "I, Tlotoxl, thank you for this victory!" "In your honour, let Perfect Sacrifice be made!" " We failed." " Yes." "We had to." "What is the point of travelling through time and space if I can't change anything?" "!" " Nothing!" "Tlotoxl had to win." " Yes." "And the one man I had respect for, I deceived." "Poor Autloc." "I gave him false hope and in the end he lost his faith." "He found another faith, a better." "That's the good you've done." "You failed to save a civilisation, but at least you helped one man." "(WHOOSHING)" " What's the matter, Doctor?" " We have a mystery, my boy." " What mystery?" " My instruments." " These controls say we've stopped." " And those say we're still moving." "Perhaps we've landed on top of something." " Yes..." " Or inside something."
