"Subbed by Corax" "Time Adjustments by MacLeod" "Barbara?" "Barbara?" "Barbara?" "Miss Wright?" "Barbara?" "Hey, there's a corridor over here." " We might as well see where it goes to." "Come on." " Wait." " What's the matter?" " Listen." " I can hear a ticking noise." " Quiet, child, listen." "Yes, over here somewhere." "It's stopped now." "Hey, there it is again!" "It's coming from in here." "Ah, this is more hopeful." "We ought to find some mercury here." "Measuring equipment." "But measuring what?" "Look here." "Look at this drum." "The ink's still quite wet." "Yes." "Hard to imagine what sort of people these are." "They're intelligent anyway, very intelligent." "Yes, but how do they use their intelligence?" "What form does it take?" "Oh, as if that matters!" "What these instruments tell us is that we're in the midst of a... very, very advanced civilised society." "Here it is!" "The thing that's ticking, it's over here." "It's a Geiger counter." "But look at the needle!" "It's past the danger point." "Yes, yes, that explains a lot of things, doesn't it?" "Ajungle turned to stone, the barren soil and the fact that we're not feeling well." " Radiation sickness?" " Yes, I'm afraid so." "The atmosphere here is polluted with a very high level of fallout and we've been walking around in it completely unprotected." "What?" "But how do you explain the buildings?" "They're intact." "A neutron bomb." "Yes." "It destroys all human tissue but leaves the buildings and machinery intact." " Yes." " What?" "But how much radiation?" "How badly?" "We need..." " We need drugs to be treated." " But where are we going to find them?" "The Tardis will have to take us to another time and place where we can be cured." "But don't you remember?" "We can't move the ship until we find the mercury for the fluid link!" "For the fluid link, yes." "Yes, I'm afraid I cheated a little on that." "I was determined to see the city, but everybody wanted to go on and, well, to avoid arguments, in short, there's nothing wrong with the fluid link." "What?" "Grandfather, do you mean to say that you risked leaving the ship just to see this place?" "You fool!" "You old fool!" "Abuse me as much as you like, Chesterton." "The point is... we need an immediate return to the ship and I suggest we leave at once." " We're not leaving until we've found Barbara." " Very well." "You may stay and search for her if you wish, but Susan and I are going back to the ship." " Come along, child." " All right, carry on, fine." " How far do you think you'll get without this?" " Give that to me!" " Not until we've found Barbara." " Give it to me I say!" "No." "It's time you faced up to your responsibilities." "You got us here." "Now I'm going to make sure that you get us back." " Chesterton, this is..." " We're wasting time." " We should be looking for Barbara." " He's right, Grandfather." "We are wasting time." "Child, if only you'd think as an adult sometimes..." "Oh, very well, very well." "Let's go, then." "Let's go." "You will move ahead of us and follow my directions." "Thls way." "Immedlatelyl" "I said Immedlatelyl" "Flrel" "My legs." "My legs!" "Stopl" "Your legs are paralysed." "You will recover shortly unless you force us to use our weapons again." "In that case, the condition will be permanent." "You two, help him." "My legs." "My legs." "I can't use my legs!" "Stop here." " Susan!" " Miss Wright!" "Barbara, thank heaven we've found you." "Are you all right?" " Yes." "What's the matter?" "What's happened?" " I'm all right." " He tried to get away and they hurt him." " Can't you stand up?" "Not without help." "The feeling's coming back, don't worry." "Come over here." "How about you, Barbara?" "We tried to look for you and then those machines caught us." "They trapped me in some sort of lift." "It seemed to go down for ages." " They didn't hurt you?" " No." " Lan, what are they?" " I don't know." "Barbara, did you notice anything?" "I mean, when they were moving you about." "Any little thing may help us." "No, nothing much." "They moved me from floor to floor, always in lifts." "Where we are now must be miles underground." "Well, there wasn't any furniture now I come to think about it." "I'm afraid that's not very much help." "Ian... do you think they really are just machines?" "What do you mean?" "Well, I was going to say..." "Do you think there's someone inside them?" "That's a point." "We haven't any idea what's inside them." "I tried to think of how I could get away from them... but then I began to feel so weak and giddy." "It's getting worse now." "I think they must have drugged me in some way." "It's not that." "Barbara... we've got radiation sickness, all of us." "The Doctor's pretty badly hit." "Well, how do you know it's radiation?" "We found a Geiger counter." "It seems that all the time we've been in the open, we've been exposed to it." " Well, what's going to happen to us?" " Well, unless..." "Unless we get treatment, we shall die." "Yes, we shall die." "Brlng In the old man Thal prisoner." "Two hundred days ago, the radiation count was 93." "It Is now 58." "An Impressive reduction." "It Is still enough to destroy." "Our prisoners are showing preliminary stages of sickness already." "We know the Thals are able to live on the surface." " And that they must have found Immunlty." " Perhaps It Is a drug." "Is It falling them now?" "Why are these four showing signs of radiation sickness?" "A few questions will reduce the mystery." "Do not move out of the light." "Slt on the floor." "You are one of the Thal people?" "I don't understand you." "Why are you suffering from radiation?" "Why?" "Because we were not aware of it until it was too late, that's why." "No, that Is not true." "We know the Thals have existed outside our city." "The truth Is, your supply of drugs has falled and you came Into the city to see If you could find more." "No." "No." "Thals?" "What are you talking about?" "We're not Thals, or whatever you may call them." "Can't you see we're very ill?" "You and your companions need a drug to stay alive." "We have no drugs." "A drug?" "A drug." "The drugs left outside the Tardis." "Tardls?" "He Is becoming delirious." "I do not understand his words." " Listen to me..." " Stay In the Ilghtl" "My friends and I are travellers." "We did find something in the forest near our encampment." "They may be the drugs you're referring to." "Why not let one of us go and bring the phials here?" "And under guard, if necessary." "We cannot move outside the city." "Very well, then." "Let one of us go and hold the others until he returns." "Provldlng whoever you send understands the rest of you wlll be held responsible for his return." "He will have our lives in his hands." "That is enough." "Then we agree." "Tell me something about the people, the Thals." "Over 500 years ago there were two races on this planet, we, the Daleks, and the Thals." "After the neutronic war, our Dalek forefathers retired Into the city, protected by our machines." "And the Thals?" "Most of them perished In the war, but we know that there are survivors." "They must be disgustingly mutated, but the fact that they have survived tells us they must have a drug that preserves the life force." "And knowing that these mutated creatures exist outside the city, you're willing to send one of us in amongst them?" "As you say yourself, all your lives depend on It." " Is it any easier?" " Yes, I think it is." "I'm going to try and stand on my own." " Be careful." " I'll be all right." "Oh!" "That's not too bad, is it?" " Why don't you sit down for a minute?" " No, no, no." "I'll be all right." " No good!" " Come on, sit down." "It'll wear off in time." "How are you feeling, Barbara?" " Not too good." " Susan?" "Well, it doesn't seem to have affected me as much as the rest of you." " Grandfather!" " Are you all right?" "What happened?" "In a moment, child." "The phial of drugs left outside the Tardis, remember?" "Yes, what about them?" "It's possible that they may have been anti-radiation gloves..." "Drugs." "I can't be certain, but it does give us a chance." "The people here, whoever they may be, are very eager to get hold of them." "None of us are in very good shape to go and get them." " Oh, I could do it." " No, it must be me." " But you can't walk!" " I'll be all right in a couple of hours." "Whoever goes must be very careful." "As far as I can ascertain, the creatures out there are the ones who dropped the box." "They're called Thals." "They're mutations." "So it wasn't our captors who left the drugs behind?" "No." "If they were drugs." " I've learnt quite a lot from the Daleks." " The who?" "The Daleks, our captors here." "Oh, if I didn't feel so good." "But I was right about the neutron bomb." "The Daleks built this underground city as a kind of huge shelter." "But what about the..." "What do you call them?" "The Thals?" " I mean, how did they survive out there?" "They..." " I don't..." "Doctor?" "Doctor?" "I must get that drug quickly." "He's burning hot." "Yes." "As soon as they take me to the surface, I'll ask for water." "In the meantime, you must keep him as cool as you possibly can." "I think there's some life coming back into my toes!" "You can't go alone, lan." "I have to go with you." " No, I want you to stay here, Susan." " But I can't." "I must go with you." " Don't argue with me!" " You can't get into the ship!" "All right, then give me the key." "It's not just a question of turning the key." "The whole lock comes away from the door." "Susan, supposing these Daleks insist that only one of us goes." "Then I'll have to take the key and I'll have to go on trying until the door opens." "No, you'd jam the lock." "Look, it's a defence mechanism." "There are 21 different holes inside the lock." "There's one right place and 20 wrong ones." "If you make a mistake, you'll..." "Well, the whole inside of the lock will melt." "There's nothing else for it, then." "We must go together." "Come on, let's see if I can walk." "No, it's all right, Barbara." "You take it easy." "Rest." "My right leg is better, you know." "I've got feeling in this one, but the left is just pins and needles." "You must leave now." " I'm not well enough yet." " You must leave nowl" " My legs are still..." " Whlch one of you Is going?" "You must give me more time." "Can't you see how weak he is?" "There are others." "Oh, lan, I can't." "The whole room's going round." "Must I?" "Alone?" "You can't let her go alone." "She's just a child." "Plead with them." "Anything!" "Susan... you see how ill they both are!" "We can't afford to wait until I can walk." "An hour might make all the difference." " I'm so afraid." " Go on." " Yes." " Don't stop for anything." "Straight there, straight back." "Are you ready?" "Yes, all right." "I'm coming now." "Ian... the others... in the forest." "He said that they were mutations." "But what else could I do?" "The child has set out." "Her direction Is being followed on the rangerscopes?" " Yes." " Mark her movements carefully." "If there are more Thal people living In the jungle, she will try to contact them." "I understand." "If she returns with the drugs, am I to allow the prisoners to use It?" "No." "They will die In time." "Thelr only value Is In bringing us enough of the Thal drug to duplicate It for our own use." "Yes, at last we have a chance." "BARBARA:" "He's getting worse." "How long did the Doctor say we'd last without treatment?" " Forty-eight hours?" " I don't know." " It..." "It's hit him so badly, lan." " Yes." "How are you feeling?" "Oh, I ache all over." " I have difficulty in keeping my eyes open." " Yes, I'm about the same." "All his fault!" "Had to have his own way, see the city." " Lan, that doesn't help." " I know." "I know." "We must wait." "That's all we can do." "Wait, yes." "An hour ago, I thought we might try and escape, watch their movements, make a plan." "There's always a chance." "Now we're too late." "I think even if they left the doors wide open, we wouldn't have the strength to crawl through them." "How long has she been gone?" "About an hour." "She should just be on the edge of the jungle by now." "He's so hot." " It..." "It's like a fever." " Yes." "His breathing's so bad." " What do you think, Barbara?" " I don't know." "Even if Susan got back now, I don't know whether she'd be in time." "Give me his coat." "Here you are." "Barbara, come on now." " I'm all right." " Sit down." "No, you rest." "You can't do anything more for him." " It's so hot in here." " Yes, now you try and sleep, Barbara." " Try and sleep." " Yes, I'd like to sleep." " Yes." " It's so hot." "Hurry, Susan." "Hurry, Susan!" "I have just come from the prisoners." " The old man Is dying." " Then he must die." "There Is no help we can give him." "How are the others?" "The woman Is sleeping very heavily." "The young man fights against It." "What of the girl?" " Has she reached the jungle?" " Yes." "The rangerscopes tracked her that far." "Now they have lost her." "IAN:" "Don't stop for anything." "Stralght there, straight back." "An hour might make all the difference." "I must." "I must."
