"Subtitles:" "Doctor Who Transcript Project" "Doctor Who Season 7 Doctor Who and the Silurians 5 of 7" "Original Air Date: 1970/02/28" "You had no right to tell them about the Brigadier's plans." "I was simply trying to prevent a massacre." "What guarantee have you got that these creatures aren't going to set an ambush?" "I had to take that risk." "At least there's a chance they won't start killing each other." "Have you seen the humans, yet?" " Have you spoken to them?" " I have destroyed them... and now I shall destroy you." "Stop." "Do not kill it." "It may be useful." "Why were you killing it?" "We have no need for it." "Or those soldiers sent to attack us." " I have dealt with them." " I gave you no orders to do this." "But they were carrying weapons, like this one." "They can no longer harm us." "But now they will send others." "You forget there are now millions of these men." "Then we shall destroy them all." "UNIT leader to base." "UNIT leader to base." " It's no good, sir." " Try once more." "UNIT leader to base." "It's dead, sir." "Alright?" "It's solid rock as well, sir, we'd need explosives to shift it." "Yeah." "How can it just appear like that?" "We were able to walk through there a moment ago, and..." "And what are we going to do?" ", sir." "Afraid there's not much we can do." "We're trapped." "I suppose we'll just have to sit and wait until someone gets us out." "We can't afford to wait too long." "At least we've got food and water." "Yes, but we have a limited supply of air, and we're using it up all the time." "How long do you reckon we've got, sir?" "Two or three hours, at the most." "So you see we haven't been exactly idle down here." "Whatever the impression Doctor Lawrence may have given to you." "Really, Miss Shaw..." "It's a remarkable accumulation of evidence." "It's a lot of nonsense." "The power losses are a technical problem." "All I need is more reliable staff... and more facilities." "Not a lot of cloak and dagger people cluttering up the place." "Masters." "Yes." "Right." "Thank you." "That's the UNIT people at the cave mouth." "They've completely lost contact with the Brigadier." "Please, you must listen to me, I want to talk to you." "What do you think you're doing, haven't you done enough damage?" "You're making a terrible mistake." "I can stop you from being destroyed." "We have studied your weapons." "They are primitive." "Look, you've got no idea of the fighting power of the humans." "Be quiet!" "They have bombs that can wipe out whole continents." "Shut up!" "Please." "Please, let me out of here, let me out of here." "Can't you see I can do you no possible harm." "Come with me." "Shouldn't we try and break out again, sir." "I know it seems to be hopeless, but it... but at least we'd be doing something." "The more we move... the quicker we use up the air." "We'll wait." "It's our only chance." "Sir, Look." "You alright?" ", Robins." "Robins?" "Sir?" "Masters." "One minute, please." "I see." "Well continue the search." "Let me know if there's any further news." "Search party can't find any trace of the Brigadier." "Search party?" "Good heavens!" "If they can't find them they'll be dead by now." " Why do you say that?" " I found Doctor Quinn's body," "I've seen what these Silurians do." "They obviously got lost." "Well then, that's all the more reason to get more men and equipment." "You could mount an all-out attack, you could send troops into every one of those caves." "The caves are vast." "We'd need hundreds of men." "But there may be hundreds of Silurians down there." "Now you don't really believe that?" "Yes!" " You've seen them." " Yes, so has the Doctor." "Right." "Three people have seen them." "They do exist." "And we've got to attack them first." "Just because they're an alien species, that doesn't mean we have to kill them." " But..." "The Doctor thinks that we should..." "What?" ", Miss Shaw." "Never mind." "Where is the Doctor?" "Where did he go?" "Well, Miss Shaw." "Where is he?" "As a scientist, what have you discovered about this weapon?" "It projects a small piece of metal at high speed." "Crude." "It is a fitting weapon for apes." "The device has a certain ingenuity." "Remember, one of us was wounded by such a weapon." "The apes have become dangerous." "They must be destroyed." "Our leader seems to have different views." "I know." "He has taken one of these creatures into our control room." "He is talking to it." "Perhaps it may give him useful information." "What information can we gain from apes?" "His concern for them may be dangerous." "Then let me ask you again." "Where is the Doctor?" " He went down into the caves..." " What?" "... ahead of the Brigadier." "He wanted to make contact with the Silurians." " Make contact" " What was he going to say to them?" "He thought if..." " ...he could warn the Silurians first..." " He warned them." "Why?" ", the Brigadier has probably walked straight into a trap." "He wanted to prevent bloodshed." "He has gone down into those caves to try and help." "He is risking his own life." "So now you expect us to send troops down there?" "No, no, no, that's the last thing he'd want." "Never mind what your Doctor wants, he's done enough damage." "Mister Masters, can't you see... you've got to get more troops and destroy these monsters." "The search is still going on." "I shall wait until I get another report." " Aren't you going to do anything?" " Not for the moment." " But if you don't do something now..." " I have made my decision, Miss Dawson." "But you must see... this is a highly-developed and overcrowded planet which now belongs to man." "This is our planet." "We were here before man." "We ruled this world millions of years ago." "Then, why did you stay down here?" "A small planet was approaching the world." "We calculated that it would draw off our atmosphere, destroying all life." "We built this place... and suspended our lives till the atmosphere should return." "A small planet." "Yes, of course." "But don't you see that small planet was drawn into the earth's orbit... and became the moon?" "Your catastrophe never happened." "Hey, you." "Where's the Doctor." "What's going on?" "Well where is he?" "What's he telling you?" "Where are you Doctor?" "Telling them everything they want to know?" "You're nothing but a traitor." "You hear me, Doctor?" "A traitor!" "But I still don't understand why you stayed down here." "The hibernation mechanism was faulty." "It did not function until a new energy source appeared." "The power station at the research centre." "Yes, we are now able to drain off its energy." "But soon we shall revive our civilisation... and reclaim the earth for ourselves." "No, you mustn't." "Otherwise there'll be the most terrible war." "But if you trust me," "I think I can persuade the humans... that you are prepared to live with them on this planet in peace." "There is not room for both civilisations." "Yes, I think there is." "You see, your people are used to living in extreme heat, whereas these areas on earth are of little interest to man." "I believe with your advanced technology that you could build cities... in parts of the world that man, has hitherto, completely ignored." "Would your people agree to this?" "Well, they're not my people, but I think I could convince them, on the condition that you release those trapped men first." "Those apes have only shown hostility to us." "And you to them." "Someone has to make a move, otherwise this whole thing will end up in complete catastrophe." "Sir." "You alright?" ", Robins." "Robins?" "What's the matter with him?" "Same thing happened to one of the scientists at the research centre." "Safe to leave him alone." "Sir, look, it's opening again." "The humans have been released." "Thank you for your trust in me." " I only hope it will not be in vain." " Why have you released the apes?" "I have decided that it is possible... for the two species to live together on this planet." "This planet is ours." "This other species has developed its own civilisation." "We must accept them as equals." "I disagree." "We must destroy them." "He talks of sharing our planet with apes." "I shall wipe them out." "You have no right to disobey him, he is our leader." "Perhaps he is no longer fit to lead us." "Soon I shall be the leader." "Help me." "Or must I destroy you too?" "Very well." "I will help you." "When the apes used to raid our crops, we used this." "Millions were wiped out." "Now, we could conduct an experiment on this ape." "Yes." "Leave the cage." "Why?" "Where are you taking me?" "Leave the cage!" "Do not kill it." "Do not kill it, we need this creature alive." "Alright, alright." "You win." "Take him to my laboratory." "We shall use this creature to destroy all its kind." "How much longer are we going to wait?" "Search party hasn't reported back yet." "Perhaps we should send another search party to look for them?" "Charles, please." "Well, it's so ridiculous, all these people chasing about the caves." "How is it supposed to solve my problems?" "The Brigadier and the Doctor are risking their lives trying to solve your problems." "That's a matter of opinion." "Well it's obvious what we should be doing, we should be attacking in force." " Don't be ridiculous." " We'll get... nowhere by bickering amongst ourselves." "Brigadier!" "Thank goodness!" " Come, sit down." " It's alright, Miss Shaw." "What's happened?" "Come on, sit down, please." "What's happened?" " We were trapped in those caves." " Were the Silurians waiting for you?" "Not exactly." "A rock wall appeared in front of us, and then it vanished again." "Vanished?" "More fairy stories, Brigadier?" "I lost a lot of men in those caves, Doctor Lawrence." " Have you brought the Doctor back?" " Well isn't he here?" "He appears to have gone down the caves ahead of you." "What ever for?" "I shouldn't worry about him, Brigadier." "He's probably chatting quite happily to his monster friends." "Do I have your assurance, that the humans will agree to our sharing the planet?" "You have my assurance, that I shall tell them of your desire for peace, yes." "Very well, I shall explain to the others, so that you may return in safety." "Thank you." "You will wait here." "You had no right to do this without my authority." "This is the method we used against them before." "They were animals then." "They are civilised now." "That makes them all the more dangerous to us." "I do not believe so." "You are no longer fit to lead us." "I shall destroy you if you defy me again." "Now, go." "You once had a great civilisation." "I didn't realise how advanced." " The other prisoner has been released." " Baker?" "Why, that's splendid." "Doctor, listen to me." "He has been infected with a deadly disease, which may destroy millions of his species." " But this is diabolical." " It is not my doing." "There are those of us unwilling to share this planet." "Is there any cure for this disease?" "No." "But I have brought the bacteria." "Perhaps your scientists can find a cure." "Yes." "Yes, of course, but you must release me at once." "Come with me." "The men have had a chance to rest now, we'll be setting off in a few minutes." "Don't worry Miss Shaw, we'll find the Doctor." "Major Baker!" "How did you get out?" " Have you seen the Doctor?" " Yes, I saw him, with his Silurian friends." "Major Baker, just exactly what are you implying?" "They didn't keep him caged up like an animal for very long." "He warned them that you were coming, so that they could set up an ambush." " No, that's not..." " He's gone over to their side." " I don't believe that." " Now, wait a minute." "They had you caged up, how did you escape?" "I got away when they weren't looking." "Look, it doesn't matter about me, we must blow up every entrance to those caves before the Silurians overrun us." " That is precisely what we must not do." " You." "Now, everyone move well away from Major Baker." "Now keep right back from him." "Right back." "What are you talking about?" "Major Baker." "You are ill." "You are very, very ill." "You don't get out of it like that." " I'm placing you under arrest." " Wait..." "Keep back from him!" "Look at your wrist." "Look at it!" "Why did you give him the bacteria?" "Do you want this species to destroy us?" "They will not destroy us... and we need not destroy them." "Both species can live together." "That is impossible." "I am the leader." "I have decided." "Not any more." "He was no longer fit to lead us." "This whole place should be closed down and put in strict quarantine immediately." " It would bring the centre to a standstill." " Yes, and about time too." "Well, I must get down to the research centre and try to find an antidote." "I refuse to permit this." "Look, Edward, can't you stop him?" "This whole story is absurd." "You just don't understand, do you Doctor Lawrence?" "I'm afraid I don't either." "You say these creatures have infected us with a plague, but do you still want us to negotiate with them?" "That is precisely what I want." "But if this bacteria isn't contained there won't be anybody left to negotiate." "Baker's gone." "Doctor Meredith's just taken him to the hospital." "Well that's the worst thing that could have happened." " Why didn't you stop him?" " I tried, he wouldn't listen." "Brigadier, we've got to go down to the hospital straight away, before Baker spreads that infection." "But, surely hospital's the right place for Baker." "Meredith doesn't know what he's dealing with?" "Nobody does." "Now, please, do as I say." "Alright." "You'll have to excuse me, sir." "What do you want me to do?" "This could be a national disaster, I must get back to London." "What about the research centre?" "I'm sorry Charles, but I intend to recommend that this centre be closed immediately." "But all my work." "The delay will be crippling." "My report will, of course, exonerate you completely." "I'm sure you've done everything in your power." "Well, I must be going." "Are you feeling alright?" "I didn't get any sleep last night." "I'll send you a copy of my report." "Thank you Edward." "Is he dead?" "Yes." "The first one."
