Doctor Who (1963–1989): Season 11, Episode 10 - Invasion of the Dinosaurs: Part Six - full transcript

The Doctor is rescued from Finch by the Brigadier and Benton and tries to persuade them to stop Grover before millions of people are erased from history.

Sincro: wyxchari

Leave him to me.

My prisoner.

Get out of the way, Brigadier!

I'm sorry, General, this man is a UNIT
prisoner. I'm taking him into custody.

Get out of my way!

Benton?

You realise this is mutiny?

There's no question of mutiny,
sir. I'm only doing my job.

You'll place this man
under close arrest.

I'm holding you responsible for him.



Coming, Doctor?

Oh, you're not going
to shut me in there?

You won't be there long.

Where are you lot going?

Much further than you'd ever believe.

You won't just leave me here?

Don't worry
you're coming with us.

Doctor, I can get away with
holding you here keeping you out

of General Finch's hands, but
what you're suggesting is mutiny.

What the blazes are you doing?

Orders, sir. We're evacuating.
All the others have gone.

Whose orders?

General Finch, sir. I
thought you knew all about it.

This is ridiculous. The whole of London
crawling with monsters and he deci...



What about the spotter patrols?

Well, they've all gone, sir.
Everyone's out of the area.

Good grief!

Look, face up to it, Brigadier. General
Finch is involved just like Grover.

Is everybody in this conspiracy?

Well, Captain Yates certainly is.

Now that I can't believe.

Well, he's been pretty
odd lately, sir, and

he was very keen on
locking the Doctor up.

He was merely obeying orders.

There's a note here
from Sarah. Well, there

you are. Yes, she says
she's got positive proof

of Grover's involvement...
and the existence

of the underground base.
Here, see for yourself.

Then where the blazes is she?

Er, Private? When was this note left?

Well, very early this morning, sir.
She went off with General Finch.

Thank you.

Benton, I want a call to Geneva.

Right, sir.

I'll get on to International UNIT HQ.

They must put pressure
on the government.

There's no time for that.

Well, can you suggest
anything else we can do?

Yes
attack that underground base now.

Sir?

Yeah?

Excuse me, sir, but, erm,
are we evacuating or not?

No.

Oh, well, in... in that case,
sir, er, what shall I do?

Oh, go and make us all a cup of tea.

Oh...

Yes? Yes, put him through now
please. Geneva on the line, sir.

There, sir.

Thank you.

Put it down, sir.

Over there, Sergeant.

Would you cancel that call,
please? We won't be needing it now.

And what do you think
you're doing, Captain Yates?

I'm really sorry, sir.

Just what are they gonna do, Mike?

They're going to roll back time.

Er, the world used to
be a cleaner, simpler

place. It's all become too
complicated and corrupt.

Roll back time, I see. Can
Whitaker really do that?

I believe so. All the preliminary
experiments have been successful.

Do you realise what'll
happen if they succeed?

We shall find ourselves
in the golden age!

There never was a golden age,
Mike. It's all an illusion.

Not this time! We're
going to make it come true!

Really? How?

Whitaker's machine creates a
protective field. Anyone within that

field will be unaffected. Anybody
outside it will just cease to exist.

Quite right, Doctor.

Are we inside this protective field?

Perhaps, perhaps not. We're on the very

edge of the zone here,
but it doesn't matter.

You mean it doesn't
matter to you not existing?

I'm not important. The
others'll get there.

Now listen to me, Mike, I w...

Look, I understand your
ideals. Well, in many ways

I sympathise with them.
But this is not the way

to go about it, you know?
You've got no right to

take away the existence
of generations of people.

There's no alternative!

Yes, there is. Take the
world that you've got and

try and make something
of it. It's not too late.

Oh, I didn't know you were
back, Captain Yates, sir...

Welcome! Welcome to the
people. We've revived you

because it's almost time
for our landing on New Earth.

Adam! That girl's gone. She's
not in the reminder room.

Well, she can't have gone far.

But we must find her!

Oh, very well, my dear, I'll
help you but, erm, all our

friends are waking up. Aren't
you going to say welcome to them?

Later.

Oh, excuse me.

I'll be back in a minute.

What did you find? Where are we?

Somewhere under central London.
The whole ship is a fake.

Why did they cheat us?

Well, it's too complicated
to explain now, but it's

something to do with
altering the course of time.

Those poor people! What can we do?

Tell them the truth.

Come in mobile patrols. All mobile
patrols, come in please, over.

There we are, Doctor. Blow your way
into the Bank of England with that lot.

Thank you, Sergeant.

Trap____.

I still think we should
wait for reinforcements.

Well, we can't wait.

Please acknowledge, over.

That project's going to
be activated any moment now

and when that happens, your
reinforcements will vanish

and so will you.

Trap ___ calling all mobile patrols.

Oh, very well...

All mobile patrols...

Benton, you stay here.

Please acknowledge, please acknowledge.

Try and collect those mobile patrols.
As soon as you've assembled any

kind of force, rendezvous with the
Doctor and myself at the tube station.

Right, sir.

Keep trying, Bryson.

Ah, good luck, Doctor!

Thank you!

Oh, can't you understand? It's all
a trick! You're not on a spaceship

you're not going to another planet!

That can't be true! They promised us

we're going to a
new world! I went into

everything very
carefully. I sold my house.

She's telling us the truth!

It's alright, Ruth, she's here.

Adam, we've been tricked!

How did you get out of the
reminder room? Where have you been?

Out of the ship.

The girl's mad!

Look, I don't understand all this!

You know what's on the
other side of that airlock

a flight of steps.

Adam, we must lock her up.

I saw her open the airlock.

And I can see that
she's very persuasive.

Adam, she's telling us the truth!

Now listen to me

all of you. This
poor girl is unbalanced.

She should never have been selected.
Already she's contaminated one of us.

I'm going out through the
airlock so you can see.

Stop him! We'll all be killed!

Mark! We can't have fighting!

You see? They're a danger to
themselves and to all of us!

There is no danger!

Oh no you don't!

Look, the people who organised all this

they've got a machine
that's going to affect time

itself. It's got nothing
to do with space travel.

We must lock her up. Come on.

No, you've got to help me stop
them, otherwise the whole planet'll

be in danger! Millions of
people are going to be wiped out!

Adam, that's the truth!
Robinson, will you listen?

Hello? Hello, can anyone hear me?

This is spaceship one.
We are receiving you.

Thank God. I'd like to speak
to Charles Grover please?

I've got to speak to Charles Grover.
Something very disturbing has happened.

Hang on to your hat, Brigadier.

I don't know how she got
away but somehow she's got

back into that spaceship and
she's stirring them all up.

Can't you reassure them?

It's no good, I've tried. Our friend
Adam insists on talking to you.

Well there's not much time.

Well, you'd better talk to them.
Adam sounded in quite a state.

In that case, I'd better
dress for the occasion.

You had no right to call him. We
could have dealt with this ourselves.

I think he's got a lot to answer for.

How will he reach us
from the other ship?

There's a shuttle.
It's just locked on to us.

What's he doing now?

Equalising the air pressure.

Well, Adam, what's the problem?

Well, I never thought I'd find myself
blowing up a tube station. If you're

wrong, Doctor, I'm going to have a job
explaining this to London Transport.

Well, don't worry, Brigadier,
I'm never wrong. But if we don't

get down there, there won't be
a London Transport to explain to.

You really are a terrible
problem to me, Miss Smith.

You cheated us!

I had to.

Why? Why couldn't you tell us the truth?

He didn't dare tell you. Don't
you understand, Mark? Millions

of people will be wiped out.
That's the truth, isn't it?

Put that way
yes, I'm afraid it is.

Yet in a sense, these people will come

to no harm at all
because they will never

have been born. I had
to tell a story that

would be acceptable to people like Adam

the sort of people
I wanted to recruit.

Yes, kind, decent people
who just might object

to the destruction of
generations of human beings!

I'm only deceiving them about the means

not the ends. They will
have their new world, but

it will be this world returned
to an earlier purer age.

The end can never justify the
means. What you're doing is criminal!

Mark, for the sake of the others,
can't you accept the situation?

No
never.

We'll go on telling them the truth
every chance we get.

In that case, I must see that
you don't get the chance. Once

this project has been completed,
I can only hope that you will

adjust to life in the new world.
I really am very sorry about all

this. I can only hope... that in
the future we shall be friends.

We've got company.

Good grief! It's a Triceratops!
Look, Brigadier, try and

keep it occupied while I'm
finishing this off, will you?

Don't worry
they're none too bright.

Alright, Doctor. I
think I can cope with it!

Adam, you've got to help us!

I know. I overheard. I had to
wait until Ruth was out of the way.

Now, what are we gonna do?

Get to the flight deck
and open that airlock!

Are you ready, Doctor?
This is the last flare.

Yep. Yes, nearly ready, come on.

Right, let's take a look.

Ah, there it is. Right,
I'm going down there.

I'll come with you.

No, I'd rather go on my own
it's less conspicuous.

You go and get those
reinforcements, will you?

Right.

Greyhound one to trap two, over?

Trap two
Sergeant Benton here, sir.

Now look, we've broken
through and the Doctor's

inside. What about those reinforcements?

Just one mobile patrol, sir.
That's all I could raise.

Better than nothing. Bring them along.

Yes, sir.

Quick as you can, Benton, out.

Look, sir, I've got to send those

reinforcements. The
Brigadier's in trouble.

You'll do as you're told, Sergeant.

Sir, I've got to send them.

I'm warning you, Sergeant.

Very good, sir.

You'll be court martialled
for this, Sergeant!

Yes, sir!

Very sorry, sir!

I think you should
at least listen, Ruth.

That does sound reasonable
to listen.

Very well. What is it
you want me to listen to?

I think it's best if you just watch.

What's she going to do?

Open the airlock.

But she'll kill herself!
She'll kill us all!

If she's wrong, she's the
only one that'll suffer.

What's going on?

You see?

They've been right all along.

___ nothing of it.

But where are we?

The people who tricked
you are out there.

Now is your chance to
demand an explanation.

That sounds sensible.

Everything's ready.

General Finch should be here.

I hope you don't propose to
wait. The timing is crucial.

He must be somewhere
in the area. So long as

he's in the protective
field, he'll be alright.

Stop!

We shall have no part in this.

You've cheated us!

My friends, listen to me.
I have not cheated you.

Let Professor Whitaker
pull that lever and you

shall have the golden
age that I promised you.

You're going to destroy all the
civilisations of man. Leaving

Earth for another planet that
was one thing but this is evil!

Civilisation has already destroyed
man. It's time to make a fresh start.

If we take the Earth back in time,
we can guide man onto a better path.

Oh, Doctor!

Congratulations, Doctor. You're
just in time to be present

at the most important moment
in the world's history.

On the contrary, I'm just in
time to prevent an atrocity.

Don't move
any of you! Benton?

No! He's reversed the polarity!

Keep back!

Well... where've they gone?

Back to their golden age.
And I hope they like it.

I still don't understand, Doctor

when Whitaker first pulled that
switch, was time reversed or wasn't it?

It was for the world
outside the forcefield.

Your time was just
frozen for a few seconds.

But what about you? Oh, no
don't tell me! You're a Time Lord.

Quite!

Poor Grover.

The man was mad.

Yes, well of course he was
mad. But at least he realised

the dangers this planet
of yours is in, Brigadier

the danger of it becoming one vast
garbage dump inhabited only by rats.

It'll never happen, Doctor.

It's not the... the oil and the
filth and the poisonous chemicals

that are the real cause of pollution,
Brigadier. It's simply greed.

Mmm. Well, I've got
work to do, writing my

deposition for General
Finch's court martial.

Excuse me, sir? What
about Captain Yates?

Extended sick leave

and a chance to resign
quietly. Best I could do.

Poor Mike.

Come on, Benton.

Still I'll say one thing

not many Sergeants get the chance
to punch a General on the nose!

Just don't make a habit of it, Benton.

Well, there you are, Sarah. I told
you I'd get you home safely, didn't I?

Oh! Of all the cheek!

Well, it's not my fault if people'll
get up to no good while we were away.

Alien monsters, robber
barons, then dinosaurs! It'll

be a long time before I
get in that TARDIS again.

Oh... that's a pity that.

Why?

Well, erm, I was rather thinking
of making a trip to Florana.

Where?

Florana

probably one of the most
beautiful planets in the universe.

Well, count me out!

It's always carpeted
with perfumed flowers...

I'm not listening.

...and its seas are as warm milk
and the sands as soft as swan's down.

No, Doctor.

And the streams flow with water that
are clearer than the clearest crystal...
