Doctor Who (1963–1989): Season 11, Episode 26 - Planet of the Spiders: Part Six - full transcript
K'Anpo persuades the Doctor he must face his fear and return the crystal to the Great One.But first they need to get past Barnes and his men.
(DOCTOR WHO THEME)
(PANTING)
Doctor. Doctor, the crystal.
Yes, yes, Sarah. All in good time.
Come in.
This is the Doctor, K'anpo.
I know. You are welcome.
My friend, Sarah Jane Smith.
It is kind of you to come
and visit an old man.
(SPEAKING TIBETAN)
-You speak Tibetan?
-DOCTOR: A little, sir, yes.
What did you just say?
I apologised to the Rinpoche
for not bringing him a cotton scarf.
You friend knows not only our language
but also our customs.
The ceremonial gift
merely symbolises friendship.
We have no need for symbols, you and I.
I think I'd better keep a watch outside.
If the others get out of the cellar...
As yet they haven't managed it.
They may soon, though.
Thank you, Tommy.
-Pray be seated.
-Thank you, sir.
Now, Doctor.
You have a story to tell me.
Yes, well, I have a strange feeling
that you already know most of it.
Um...
You see, I found a crystal.
A blue crystal.
Found?
Well, perhaps "stole"
might be a better word.
Forgive me. Have we met before?
The recognition of friends
is not always easy.
Tell me about this crystal you stole.
Well it didn't occur to me
that I had stolen it, at the time.
You see...
We must separate.
We must search. He can't have gone far.
No, no, I don't want anything more
to do with it. I'm going.
-(BUZZING)
-(STRANGLED CRY)
MOSS' SPIDER: You will stay.
You will do as I wish. You will obey me.
Yes, yes, anything. Stop it. Stop it!
(BUZZING CEASES)
(BREATHING HARD)
What are we supposed to do?
I can see.
I can see a blue crystal.
-I can see it, too.
-It...
It's that way.
MOSS' SPIDER: Yes! Yes, we can feel
the vibrations. It is near.
Come on then!
So you see, the crystal
was even more important than I thought.
They want it very badly.
Then perhaps they should have it.
No, sir, never.
Once they get a hold of that crystal,
nothing can stop them
taking over the Earth.
Or even the universe itself.
Or even the universe itself.
I wish I knew where that crystal
was at this moment.
Tommy brought it to me.
It was the crystal which cured him.
-DOCTOR: Thank heavens it's safe.
-Give it to me.
Sarah, what's the matter with you?
QUEEN SPIDER:
Give me the crystal. I must have it.
I must! Give it to me!
Sarah, what's come over you?
(CRIES OUT)
Stay!
Sarah, what has the Queen Spider
done to you?
What has she done?
K'ANPO: It's no use.
See through my eyes. Look.
Good grief.
MOSS'S SPIDER:
The crystal is in that room.
Get out of the way.
You can't go in there.
-What are we going to do?
-Be quiet.
Stand back, you.
Keaver, Land, get him out of the way!
Come on now, Tommy.
Now!
(GRUNTING)
-No, no!
-I'm sorry, Mr Barnes.
Kill him!
DOCTOR: Sarah, listen to me.
Struggle against the spider, Sarah.
Fight it!
QUEEN SPIDER: I am the Queen.
K'ANPO: No. You are Sarah Jane Smith.
I... I...
You are free.
You don't have to be dominated.
Look into your mind
and see that you are free.
Sarah, look at the crystal.
Look at it!
Look deep into its blue light.
QUEEN SPIDER: No! No! I will not.
K'ANPO: See that you are free, now.
QUEEN SPIDER: I am the Queen.
SARAH: No, I'm free. Free.
QUEEN SPIDER: The Queen must live.
Help me. I shall die.
SARAH: I'm frightened!
DOCTOR: Concentrate, Sarah! Concentrate!
K'ANPO: You are free!
(CRIES OUT)
Doctor!
Wait.
-We're not getting anywhere.
-BARNES' SPIDER: I agree.
MOSS' SPIDER: And I.
LAND'S SPIDER: And I.
BARNES' SPIDER: We need more power.
Concentrate! Concentrate!
(CHANTING)
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, Doctor.
What have you got to be sorry about?
You did very well.
You should be proud of yourself.
To let that creature
take me over like that.
I mean, I actually volunteered.
We are all apt to surrender
ourselves to domination.
Even the strongest of us.
Do you mean me?
Not all spiders sit on the back.
SARAH: Oh, I don't understand.
You're not saying they've taken over
the Doctor, are you?
Oh, no, Sarah, no.
No, he's talking about my greed.
Greed? You? (SCOFFING)
Yes, my greed for knowledge,
for information.
He's saying that all this
is basically my fault.
If I hadn't taken the crystal
in the first place...
I know who you are now.
You were always a little slow
on the uptake, my boy.
It's been a long, long time.
-You know each other?
-Oh, yes. Yes, he was my teacher.
My... My guru, if you like.
In another time, another place.
Another life.
Oh, no.
Don't tell me you're a Time Lord, too?
I am. But the discipline
they serve was not for me.
DOCTOR: No. Nor for me.
I wouldn't have chosen your alternative.
To borrow a Tardis was a little naughty,
to say the least.
-(LAUGHING)
-DOCTOR: Yes, well, I had to get away.
-I hadn't your power.
-Indeed.
I regenerated
and came to Earth, to Tibet.
-Regenerated?
-Yes.
Yes, when a Time Lord's body wears out,
he regenerates, becomes new.
That is why we can live
such a long time.
I see. Well, what about Cho-je?
Is he a Time Lord, too?
In a sense.
(CHUCKLING) In another sense,
he doesn't exist.
SARAH: (CHUCKLING) You've lost me.
Me too, I'm afraid.
Cho-je is a projection of my own self.
(LAUGHING)
Mr Yates. Mr Yates!
Where am I? Oh, that spider.
There's not a moment to lose.
Come. Come.
(CHANTING)
(BUZZING)
What's going on?
We are sending power
to our sisters on Earth.
But what about that crystal?
SPIDER: Be silent!
SARAH: What's he doing?
DOCTOR: Shh.
As I thought. The moment approaches.
-SARAH: What moment?
-The moment I have been waiting for.
The moment of truth,
if you'll forgive a clich?.
The moment of truth for us both.
You know what you have to do?
No, I...
I think you do, my son.
What is it you most fear?
GREAT ONE:
Is that fear I can feel in your mind?
You are not accustomed
to feeling frightened, are you, Doctor?
You are very wise to be afraid of me.
-(HESITANT) Is there no other way?
-None.
Very well.
Give me the crystal.
What are you going to do?
Take the crystal to the Great One.
But you told me
that if you went back there,
the cave of crystal would destroy you.
Nevertheless, I have to go.
(CHANTING)
Enough.
Now!
-(BANG ON DOOR)
-Take my hand. Quickly!
No!
-(GRUNTS)
-Yates! Mr Yates!
(CRYING OUT)
Doctor!
The crystal. There it is!
(CRYING OUT)
-Where's he gone?
-Back to the cellar.
Come on!
-(RUNNING FOOTSTEPS)
-(WHOOSHING)
(WHOOSHING)
-Welcome, Doctor.
-Arak. Tuar.
Your attack was a success, then?
-You can see for yourself.
-Thanks to you, Doctor.
Look, I need your help.
I want to go into the mountain,
into the cave of crystal.
You will die.
Well, nevertheless I have to go.
Will you show me the way?
There's more than one way
into the caves. Come.
I think he's dead.
Not quite. Carry him to K'anpo Rinpoche.
So, you lied. Your attack failed.
QUEEN SPIDER:
Did you really believe these creatures
could overcome the eight-legs?
They have minds as easily controlled
as their own sheep.
Why have you come back?
To return the crystal.
QUEEN SPIDER:
You have the crystal? Here?
Yes. Yes, of course.
QUEEN SPIDER: Give it to me!
No.
I shall return the crystal
only to the Great One herself.
SPIDERS: All praise to the Great One!
DOCTOR: Is there any among you
who would dare take it from me?
-I would dare.
-QUEEN SPIDER: Stop, Lupton!
(GROANING)
Why do you stop me?
Everything we've planned,
everything we've dreamt of,
is there in the palm of his hand.
We dare not take the crystal.
The Great One is all-seeing.
SPIDERS: All praise to the Great One!
The Great One is all-knowing.
SPIDERS: All praise to the Great One!
QUEEN SPIDER:
The Great One is all-powerful!
SPIDERS: All praise to the Great One!
You have beaten us, Doctor.
It is good that you will die.
-You superstitious fools.
-QUEEN SPIDER: Be silent, Lupton!
I will not be silent.
I've listened to you for too long.
To think that I've lost
my chance of power through a spider!
A spider that I could crush underfoot,
-without a second thought.
-(SPIDERS MURMURING ANGRILY)
A spider!
His compassion protected him,
just as Tommy's innocence
was his shield.
Hello, Sarah Jane.
Hi. Hey, we thought you'd had it.
Well, not this time.
-Oh, I feel fine.
-SARAH: Yeah?
K'anpo.
(BREATHING HEAVILY) I'm afraid
this old body has had it, Miss Smith.
No!
Dear friends, please don't...
Please don't...
What's happening?
Please don't...
Please
don't concern yourselves.
I am not dying, merely regenerating.
-Cho-je.
-No, Tommy. I am K'anpo.
(LAUGHING)
Will you put this in your magazine,
Sarah Jane Smith?
(K'ANPO LAUGHING)
GREAT ONE: Stop! Have you brought
the crystal to me?
Well, if I had not,
why should I have returned?
GREAT ONE: Very well.
Very well, advance.
I've brought you the crystal.
Now, why don't you just take it
and leave the humans in peace,
both here and on Earth?
(GREAT ONE LAUGHING)
You think I care
for the puny plans of my subjects?
Earth? One paltry planet among millions?
Give me the crystal.
I thirst for it! I ache for it!
Well, why is it so important to you?
You see this web of crystal
above my head?
It reproduces the pattern of my brain.
One perfect crystal
and it will be complete.
That is the perfect crystal I need.
And then?
My every thought
will resonate within the web,
and grow in power
until, until, until...
But you've built
a positive feedback circuit.
You're trying to increase
your mental powers to infinity.
Exactly!
I shall be the ruler
of the entire universe!
(PANTING) Now listen to me. Listen.
I haven't got much time left.
What you're trying to do is impossible.
If you complete that circuit,
the energy will build up and up
until it cannot be contained.
You will destroy yourself.
GREAT ONE: You waste the little time
remaining to you.
Even now the cave of crystal
is destroying the cells of your body.
I will grant you one last favour.
You may watch
the completion of my triumph
before you die!
I am
complete!
Now I am
total power!
All praise to the Great One!
Stop. Stop!
Don't you see what's happened to you?
All praise to the Great One!
All praise to me!
Bow down before me, planets!
Bow down, stars!
Bow down, all galaxies
and worship the Great One!
The me!
The Great, all-powerful me!
Ahhh!
I hurt!
Help me!
I am burning! My brain is on fire!
Help me!
Ahhh!
(GROANING)
The influence is going.
-We're free!
-Come, my brother.
(GROANING)
(CHANTING)
(SIGHING)
Hello, Miss Smith.
Oh, hello, Brigadier.
I just thought I'd pop in and...
Well, to tell you the truth, I don't
quite know why I did pop in, actually.
To see if there was any sign
of the old fellow, eh?
Yes. But there can't be, can there?
I mean, he's been gone
over three weeks now.
Oh, that's nothing.
One time I didn't see him for months.
And what's more,
when he did turn up, he had a new face.
Could have been
a completely different man.
No. He knew if he went back there
he would destroy himself.
We'll never see him again.
(WHOOSHING)
(SARAH GASPS)
SARAH: Doctor!
(WEAKLY) Hello, Sarah.
I got lost in the time vortex.
The Tardis brought me home.
Oh!
Oh, Doctor, why did you have to go back?
I had to face my... My fear, Sarah.
I had to face my fear.
That was more important
than just going on living.
Please, don't die.
A tear, Sarah Jane?
No, don't cry.
While there's life there's...
(GASPS)
(WHIMPERS)
(DISTANT BUZZING)
It's all right. He is not dead.
Oh, no.
I don't think I can take much more.
I am sorry to have startled you,
my dear.
Won't you introduce me
to your friend, Miss Smith?
Oh, uh, yes. This is the abbot of...
No, it's Cho-je.
I mean, it looks like Cho-je,
but it is really K'anpo Rinpoche.
I think.
Thank you.
That makes everything quite clear.
The Doctor is alive.
No, you're wrong. He's dead.
All the cells of his body have been
devastated by the Metebelis crystals,
but you forget, he is a Time Lord.
I will give the process a little push
and the cells will regenerate.
He will become a new man.
Literally?
CHO-JE: Of course,
he will look quite different.
Not again.
And it will shake up
the brain cells a little.
You may find his behaviour
somewhat erratic.
Well, when will all this happen?
Well, there's no time like the present,
is there?
Goodbye. Look after him.
Now, wait a moment.
Look, Brigadier.
Look. I think it's starting.
Well, here we go again.
(PANTING)
Doctor. Doctor, the crystal.
Yes, yes, Sarah. All in good time.
Come in.
This is the Doctor, K'anpo.
I know. You are welcome.
My friend, Sarah Jane Smith.
It is kind of you to come
and visit an old man.

SARAH: Doctor!
(WEAKLY) Hello, Sarah.
I got lost in the time vortex.
The Tardis brought me home.
Oh!
Oh, Doctor, why did you have to go back?
I had to face my... My fear, Sarah.
I had to face my fear.
That was more important
than just going on living.
Please, don't die.
A tear, Sarah Jane?
No, don't cry.
While there's life there's...

It's all right. He is not dead.
Oh, no.
I don't think I can take much more.
I am sorry to have startled you,
my dear.
Won't you introduce me
to your friend, Miss Smith?
Oh, uh, yes. This is the abbot of...
No, it's Cho-je.
I mean, it looks like Cho-je,
but it is really K'anpo Rinpoche.
I think.
Thank you.
That makes everything quite clear.
The Doctor is alive.
No, you're wrong. He's dead.
All the cells of his body have been
devastated by the Metebelis crystals,
but you forget, he is a Time Lord.
I will give the process a little push
and the cells will regenerate.
He will become a new man.
Literally?
CHO-JE: Of course,
he will look quite different.
Not again.
And it will shake up
the brain cells a little.
You may find his behaviour
somewhat erratic.
Well, when will all this happen?
Well, there's no time like the present,
is there?
Goodbye. Look after him.
Now, wait a moment.
Look, Brigadier.
Look. I think it's starting.
Well, here we go again.
