Karen: So do you want to see it or not?
Jim: I don't know. Feel like... Friday night crowds...
Karen: Oh my God, you're like, agoraphobic.
Jim: Agoraphobic?
Karen: Yeah.
Jim: Really?
Karen: Yeah! You would rather sit on your couch and watch a Phillies game, than go out to a movie with your awesome girlfriend.
Jim: Absolutely correct.
Kevin: Later, Jim.
Jim: Kev, have a good weekend.
Karen: Bye. Ok, so this is what's gonna happen. You're gonna suck it up.
Jim: Here we go...
Karen: ...and we're gonna go to dinner.
Jim: Ok...
Karen: And then we're gonna go to the movies.
Jim: Sounds good.
Roy: Hey Halpert!
Jim: Hey... [Roy lunges towards Jim]
Pam: ROY!
Karen: [shrieks]
Pam: Roy don't! [Dwight pepper-sprays Roy]
Roy: [screams in pain] Ahh God!
Dwight: Pam, please call security!
[SCENE_BREAK]
Dwight: Everyday, for eight years, I have brought pepper spray into this office to protect myself and my fellow employees. And everyday, for eight years, people have laughed at me. Well, who's laughing now? [Dwight blinks and winces in pain from the pepper spray]
[SCENE_BREAK]
Michael: No need for consternation, everything is under control.
Jan: Michael, last Friday one of your employees attacked another employee in your office!
Michael: It was a crime of passion, Jan, not a disgruntled employee. Everyone here is extremely gruntled.
Jan: [sigh] Is Toby there?
Michael: No...
Toby: I'm... here, Jan.
Jan: Ok, what... what is the situation Toby?
Toby: Well, we fired Roy, obviously. And Jim won't press charges against Roy or the company.
Jan: Thank God.
Toby: Yeah, um, but now apparently Darryl has some issue with his...
Michael: No, he has been wanting a raise for a couple of months and he's just using this Roy thing as leverage.
Jan: All right, well are you gonna take care of this?
Michael: Yeppers.
Jan: What did I tell you about "yeppers?"
Michael: I don't... remember.
Jan: I told you not to say it. Do you remember that?
Michael: Yeesh...
[SCENE_BREAK]
Pam: I really don't want to talk about it. I don't mean to be rude, but I just... I don't want to comment on what happened. It sucked.
[SCENE_BREAK]
Jim: I guess... all things considered, I was lucky Dwight was there. And Roy was lucky that Dwight only used pepper spray. And not the nunchucks or the throwing stars.
[SCENE_BREAK]
Jim: Hey man, I never got a chance to thank you... for stopping Roy. Thank you.
Dwight: Thank you not necessary and thus, not accepted. I saw someone breaking the law and I interceded.
Jim: Okay. Um... Got you something.
Dwight: Don't want it.
Jim: You don't know what it is.
Dwight: Don't want it. Won't open it. Don't need it. Won't take it. Citizens do not accept prizes for being citizens.
[SCENE_BREAK]
Jim: It was a little glass display case for his for his bobblehead. That would have made us even, I think. He saves my life, I get him a box for his desk toy. Even Steven.
[SCENE_BREAK]
Dwight: No, don't call me a hero. Do you know who the real heroes are? The guys who wake up every morning, and go into their normal jobs, and get a distress call from the commissioner, and take off their glasses and change into capes and fly around fighting crime. Those are the real heroes.
[SCENE_BREAK]
Oscar: Angela, Roy's check. He's coming in later to pick it up.
Kevin: Man, I cannot believe I missed the fight.
Oscar: It was crazy.
Angela: You saw it? Describe it please.
Oscar: Well, I heard some shouting. And I look over and Roy's by reception and you could just tell he's gonna punch somebody. Jim says something. Roy stomps over there. All of the sudden, BAM. Roy goes down, and Dwight's standing there like an action hero.
Angela: Oh...
Oscar: It was insane!
Angela: [flustered] Well... good for Dwight.
[SCENE_BREAK]
Michael: Ok I want you to be Darryl and ask me for a raise, because I want to try out some of these negotiation tactics on you.
Jim: Where'd you get that?
Michael: Wikipedia.
[SCENE_BREAK]
Michael: Wikipedia... is the best thing ever. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject, so you know you are getting the best possible information.
[SCENE_BREAK]
Michael: Ok, Darryl, ask me for a raise.
Jim: Hey, Mike. Since Roy left I've been doing a lot more work, and I need a raise.
Michael: Hmm, well that's interesting Darryl. I think... [mumbling softly] that maybe you should... [mumbling jibberish]
Jim: I can't hear you.
Michael: What I'm saying is that, [continues to mumble jibberish]
Jim: Still nothin'.
Michael: Ok, see what I did?
Jim: No.
Michael: By leaning back, and by whispering, I established a dominant physical position.
Jim: Nice.
Michael: Ok, let's try another one. Um...
Jim: Okay.
Michael: Walking out of the room unexpectedly.
Jim: And what happens in this one?
Michael: It's a surprise.
Jim: Okay.
Michael: Go ahead, ask me for a raise.
Jim: Can I have a raise?
Michael: [gets up and begins to walk out of the room]
Jim: [softly] s*x, Steve Martin, Terri Hatcher.
Michael: What?
Jim: What?
Michael: No, what did you say?
Jim: I didn't say anything. I was waiting to see what happened.
Michael: Oh it... sounded interesting... what you were gonna...
[SCENE_BREAK]
Dwight: I saw the perpetrator advance toward the victim at a high rate of speed. His head was thrown back, his shoulder and arm cocked indicating an attack position. Perp grabbed the victim. I removed my weapon from its secure hiding place.
Toby: Which is where?
Dwight: Irrelevant. Discharged it at a distance of a little over a meter into the perpetrator's eyes, nose, and face area. Rendering him utterly and completely disabled. Then I contacted the authorities. The end.
Toby: Thanks Dwight.
[SCENE_BREAK]
Kelly: That is the bravest thing I have ever heard.
Ryan: I can't imagine what I would have done.
Kelly: I can. You would have left me to fend for myself. Like that time we were on the Ferris Wheel and that kid dropped a milk shake on me and you just laughed.
Ryan: Well that was funny, that's why.
Kelly: Oh it was?
Ryan: Mm-hmm.
Kelly: Okay, well the next time that you get scared, that you think a murderer's in your apartment in the middle of the night...
Ryan: Okay.
Kelly: ...and you call me, to calm you down...
Ryan: You know what? I didn't---
Toby: Can you stop...
Kelly: ...you can just call somebody else 'cause I'm not gonna do it anymore, Ryan. I'm not.
Toby: There's a bunch of people back here, maybe...
Ryan: Well, don't talk to me about calling people in the middle of the night...
Toby: Guys...
Kelly: I call you in the middle of the night to tell you that I love you!
[SCENE_BREAK]
Toby: I don't think Michael intended to punish me, by putting Ryan back here with Kelly. But, if he did intend that? Wow. Genius.
[SCENE_BREAK]
Michael: [knock on door] Yeah.
Darryl: You ready for me?
Michael: Yes, yeah, absolutely. Have a seat.
Darryl: Cool.
Michael: You know what? Actually, let's go into the conference room.
Darryl: Okay.
Michael: No, you know what? Let's stay here. No let's go... Yeah let's go to the conference room.
[SCENE_BREAK]
Michael: Tactic number six. Change the location of the meeting at the last second. Totally throws 'em off.
[SCENE_BREAK]
Michael: Number 14, declining to speak first. Makes them feel uncomfortable, puts you in control.
[SCENE_BREAK]
Michael: [long pause] I am declining to speak first.
Darryl: Okay, I'll start. It's pretty simple really. I uh, I think I deserve a raise. I'm scheduled to get one in six months, but I'd like that to be moved up to now.
Michael: Hmm. Ohh, Darryl. You are a good worker, and a good man. I just, you know, times are tight. And I just don't think corporate is going to go for this right now.
Darryl: Are you wearin' lady clothes?
Michael: What?
Darryl: Are you wearin' lady clothes? Those look like lady... pants.
Michael: No, this is a power suit.
Darryl: That there's a woman's suit.
Michael: [Darryl laughs] I do not buy woman's clothes. I would not make that mistake again.
Darryl: I'ma call Roy, man.
Michael: Ohh... kay.
Darryl: This is gonna make him feel better.
Michael: All right.
Darryl: This is too good.
Michael: Alright, you know what? Pam, could you please tell Darryl that this is not a woman's suit?
Pam: Oh my God, that's a woman's suit!
Kevin: You're wearing a woman's suit?
Michael: No, I do, I, I wear men's suits, OK? I got this out of a bin.
[SCENE_BREAK]
Michael: There were these huge bins of clothes, and everybody was rifling through them like crazy, and I grabbed one. And it fit! So I don't think that this is totally just a woman's suit. At the very least it's bisexual.
[SCENE_BREAK]
Kevin: Who makes it?
Michael: Uh, [reading the inside of his jacket] MISSterious. And it is mysterious because the buttons are on the wrong side... that's the mystery.
Phyllis: Look, it's got shoulderpads, and did you see that lining?
Michael: Okay.
Phyllis: Did you see...
Michael: Would you stop it, please?
Jim: So, none of that tipped you off?
Michael: It's European, OK? It's a European cut.
Pam: Michael, the pants don't have any pockets.
Michael: No, they don't. See? [Michael lifts his jacket tail, sticks out his back side and shows Pam]
Pam: [Laughing, covering her mouth]
Michael: Italians don't wear pockets.
[SCENE_BREAK]
Pam: It's been a really rough couple of days... This helps a little.
[SCENE_BREAK]
Karen: Hey, maybe you want to come over and raid my closet?
Michael: No, I don't want to do that because I'm twice your size anyway.
Darryl: Yeah, he look like Hillary Clinton.
Michael: Um, let's just do this in 15 minutes.
Darryl: Okay, can you just stand right there? [snaps camera phone picture] I gotta send some e-mails.
[SCENE_BREAK]
Michael: Negotiations are all about controlling things. About being in the driver's seat. And make one tiny mistake, you're dead. I made one tiny mistake. I wore woman's clothes.
[SCENE_BREAK]
Kevin: Karen, how do you feel that Roy tried to kick your boyfriend's ass over another woman?
Karen: I feel great, Kevin. Thank you.
Stanley: You must have been scared out of your mind.
Karen: Well, you know it happened so fast I didn't really have time to be scared.
Angela: What happened, exactly? I wasn't here, so I haven't really heard the whole story.
Karen: Um, well, Jim and I were talking and Roy walked in looking super angry.
Angela: Mm-hmm.
Karen: And he's a big dude, you know? And all of a sudden, Jim pushed me out of the way, and Roy cocked his fist, and then bam, Dwight sprays him and knocks him on his butt.
Angela: [flustered] Goodness.
[SCENE_BREAK]
Karen: When I heard Jim and Pam had kissed, my reaction was to have lots of long talks with Jim about our feelings. Roy just attacked him. I'm not sure which one Jim hated more.
[SCENE_BREAK]
Michael: Let's get down to business. Why don't you tell me why you think you deserve a raise.
Darryl: Well, it's simple Mike. I mean we merged these two branches right? So now we're shipping twice as many orders as we used to. With Roy gone we got a smaller crew. And I'm pickin' up all of his slack, so I think I should be compensated fairly, by gettin' a raise.
Michael: [mumbles jibberish]
Darryl: What? I can't hear you.
Michael: [mumbling softly] That was a very good point.
Darryl: I can't--- what, Mike? Are you---
Michael: [mumbling softly] You make a very compelling argument.
[SCENE_BREAK]
Pam: Sorry I almost got you killed.
Jim: Yeah, that was nuts.
Pam: He could have broken your nose or something. Crazy. It's just so stupid. I mean, getting back with Roy and everything. I mean, what was I thinking, right?
Jim: No, I mean, you guys really seem to have a strong connection.
Pam: Not anymore. It's, um... It's completely over now.
Jim: We'll see. I'm sure you guys will... find you way back to one another someday.
Pam: Jim... I am really... sorry.
Jim: Oh, yeah. Don't worry about it.
[SCENE_BREAK]
Michael: I am going to give you a piece of paper. I want you to write down how much you want, and I want you to slide it back across the desk to me.
Darryl: Why can't I just... tell you?
Michael: Because, that is the way these things are done. In... films. [Darryl writes the amount and starts to hand the paper to Michael] No, slide--- slide it, yes.
Darryl: There you go.
Michael: Oh. [scoffs] Come on. Be serious.
Darryl: I am serious, Mike. That's a 10% raise. That's what I want.
Michael: I... I can't give you that, I--- I don't make this much.
Darryl: Come on, be for real Mike.
Michael: I don't. Want me to prove it to you? There is... a pay stub.
Darryl: [laughs] Are you serious? You're earning this?
Michael: Plus perks, yes.
Darryl: Mike, this is barely more than I make. You been here ten years, dog. [laughs]
Michael: Fourteen years.
Darryl: Ho-ho!
Michael: No, please, please...
Darryl: Oh, I'm sorry Mike, some of my folks got to hear about this one. [texting on cell phone] Ah. [laughs]
Michael: Ok, let's take 15, again.
[SCENE_BREAK]
Michael: A boss's salary isn't just about money, it is about perks. It... for example, every year I get a $100 gas card... Can't put a price tag on that.
[SCENE_BREAK]
Jim: Ok, if you don't want a gift, at least let me buy you a beer, or lunch or something.
Dwight: When Han Solo returns to the Death Star in the Millennium Falcon, and shoots down the TIE fighters and saves the Rebel cause, do you think he does so for a free beer?
Jim: Boy I---
Dwight: No. And why are you so interested in buying me something Jim, what's your angle?
[SCENE_BREAK]
Jim: It's like when he annoys me and I want to screw with him to get him back, he never sees it coming. But now, I want to be nice to him, and actually give him something, and he's like an eel. I just can't grab onto him. It's infuriating.
Karen: Maybe you just feel guilty about all the pranks.
Jim: Well... yes, that's probably what it is. So what do I do?
Karen: Hmm... I don't know. Maybe you should go back out there and sell paper so we can go on a trip.
[SCENE_BREAK]
Kevin: Michael, here's the, uh, $15 I owe you.
Michael: Oh, thank you.
Kevin: Yeah. I heard you might need it. So...
Creed: Here's the $40 you gave me.
Michael: I didn't give you $40.
Creed: In a way you did.
[SCENE_BREAK]
Stanley: Yeah, I heard how much Michael makes. I still think he's way overpaid.
[SCENE_BREAK]
Darryl: [on cell phone] Fourteen years. Fourteen. I know. [laughing] Ok, alright. I gotta go. Later. [hangs up]
Michael: Okay. Okay, here's the straight... dope. No tricks. No Wikipedia.
Darryl: What?
Michael: I talked to corporate, and they told me that I can only give you a 5% raise.
Darryl: That's 'cause of you, Mike. They're not gonna give the workin' man more than the boss.
Michael: Well what am I supposed to do?
Darryl: Get your own raise. You gotta get out there and earn, son.
Michael: I'm not gonna go out and ask for a raise right now. That is ridiculous.
Darryl: Well, when they merged the two branches together, they put you in charge. Okay, and we're shippin' more now than we ever have.
Michael: [exhales] That's true.
Darryl: Yeah that's true. You gotta call your girl, and get paid. Show her who wears the pants in the relationship.
Michael: You know what? I should.
Darryl: Yeah, you should.
Michael: I have been a loyal employee for a long time.
Darryl: Fourteen years long.
Michael: You know what? I deserve a bump.
Darryl: Make it happen, cap'in.
Michael: I am makin' it happen, sergeant.
[SCENE_BREAK]
Creed: I remember it was very late at night, like 11, 11:30. Big fella comes in screamin' about God knows what. I think maybe Halpert had stolen his car. [Angela rolls her eyes] Something like that. So the big fella pulls out a sock filled with nickels. Then Schrute grabs a can of hairspray and a lighter---
Angela: You're useless.
[SCENE_BREAK]
Jan: Why don't we talk next month, after the quarter ends?
Michael: No, Jan. I've never asked for a raise in 14 years. This is long overdue. I wanna do it today.
Jan: Today. All right, well, uh, if you want to do it today, we should meet in person, and uh, can you get here by five?
Michael: Yshhyah. Um, yeah. I'll leave right away.
Jan: Great. Uh, and listen. Because of our, uh, our... you know, situation, we're gonna need to have a third party present.
Michael: Yes, I'm bringing Darryl.
Jan: Da--- Darryl from the warehouse?
Michael: Mm-hm.
Jan: No, Michael. We, we need an HR rep. So, uh, I think you should just bring Toby.
Michael: Hey, I'd rather kill myself.
Jan: Michael, he's your branch's HR rep...
Michael: [talking over Jan] No, Toby is terrible. Toby is the worst human being I've ever known.
Jan: ...and we need someone else, in the room, because of our relationship. You know this. Michael, either Toby comes with you, or we don't do it.
Michael: [sighs] Fine.
[SCENE_BREAK]
Kelly: You are so mean.
Ryan: I don't know what you're talking about.
Kelly: Yes you do, Ryan Bailey Howard. You called me stupid.
Ryan: No, I said your idea was stupid.
Michael: Toby, come on. Let's go.
Toby: Where?
Michael: Where? I'm gonna smack you in the head with a hammer. Come on, let's go.
Kelly: What is so stupid about wanting to name a baby Usher?
Toby: Alright.
Kelly: Usher Jennifer Hudson Kapoor.
Ryan: Don't you see why that's insane?
Kelly: Oh, so I'm crazy now?
[SCENE_BREAK]
Darryl: Comfortable, Mike?
Michael: Yeah. Fine.
Darryl: How about you, man. Comfortable?
Toby: No.
Michael: [imitating Chris Tucker] Don't ever touch a black man's radio! ...Chris Tucker. Rush Hour. I won't touch yours, by the way.
Darryl: Thank you.
Michael: Well...
Darryl: I haven't been to New York in a long time.
Michael: Mm, the Big Apple.
Darryl: Maybe I'll stay overnight. Got a cousin lives down there.
Toby: How would we get home?
Darryl: Oh you could stay too. He's got a big place.
Michael: Maybe I'll stay.
Darryl: Mm, it's not that big.
Michael: Well...
Darryl: Busses, though. They get you home quick.
Michael: [mouth full of pretzels] Oh, I...
[SCENE_BREAK]
Kelly: And all of a sudden, Dwight stood up and was like "No!"
Angela: Then what'd he do? [Kelly's phone rings]
Kelly: You should just read the report that Toby did. He took everyone's stories. [answering phone] Dunder Mifflin, customer service, this is Kelly. Oh yeah I could totally help you with that. Ok, let me just get the folder out. Okay, it seems here that you ordered 12,000 reams of paper. Oh, 12 reams...
[SCENE_BREAK]
Hunter: Hey guys, Jan is ready for you.
Darryl: Okay, bring it home now. And don't forget the new black man phrase I taught you.
Michael: Pippity poppity, give me the zoppity.
Darryl: Yes sir. Remember that. I'll be right outside if you need me
Michael: All right.
[SCENE_BREAK]
Darryl: Yeah, I taught Mike some new phrases. I want him to get the raise, I... just can't help myself.
[SCENE_BREAK]
Roy: [to Jim] Hey man, uh... I'm sorry. [Jim motions "Don't worry about it"] [Roy receives his check from Angela] Thanks. [to Pam] Can I, like, see you after work for coffee, or... something?
Pam: I don't know.
Roy: Please. I just got some stuff I gotta say to you. [Pam nods, meekly]
Kevin: [as Roy is walking out] Jim--- Roy--- Look out!
Jim: Thanks, Kev. I'm good though.
[SCENE_BREAK]
Jan: Thank you, Hunter. [to Michael and Toby] Hello. Come in. [exhales] Ah, Okay.
Michael: Who's the boy toy?
Jan: That's my new assistant.
Michael: Were you going to tell me that you hired James Van Der Beek?
Jan: I have to call you the second I get a new assistant?
Michael: Be nice to get a memo, we are lovers.
Toby: Hi, Jan.
Jan: Hi, Toby. [clears throat] First--- [Michael clears his throat] First off, Michael, this is a salary negotiation. All matters regarding our personal relationship have to be set aside. Are we clear?
Michael: Pippity poppity.
Jan: Right now we can offer you a 6% raise.
Michael: Six percent? After all we've been through?
Jan: Oh, God.
Michael: I got you... jade earrings.
Jan: Michael---
Michael: No!
Jan: Michael---
Michael: No. You gonna play it like this? You give me a good raise, or no more s*x. [Toby begins to write] [to Toby] What are you writing, perv-ball?
Toby: Just preparing for the deposition.
[SCENE_BREAK]
Toby: This may be the first time that a male subordinate has attempted to get a modest scheduled raise by threatening to withhold s*x from a female superior. It will be a groundbreaking case when it inevitably goes to trial.
[SCENE_BREAK]
Roy: I'm so sorry, Pammy. I really wasn't gonna do anything. But then I... kept thinkin' about you two together, and... I just thought you guys were really good friends, or... or maybe he was gay or somethin'... Not that that's wrong.
Pam: I'm sorry too. I just, I think that we both made some bad choices.
Roy: So you gonna start datin' Halpert then?
Pam: Um... no. No, he has a girlfriend.
Roy: Oh yeah... Wait a minute, you... broke off our wedding for the guy.
Pam: No, there were a lot of reasons.
Roy: But you're not even gonna try to go out with him? [Pam meekly shakes her head] I don't get you Pam.
Pam: I know.
[SCENE_BREAK]
Dwight: What's this?
Jim: What's what?
Dwight: Certificate of Bravery, from the Scranton Police Department. "Recognizing outstanding citizenship from a very brave young man. Dwight K. Schrute"
Jim: Wow. I guess word got around. That's a nice... honor.
Dwight: Please. They hand these out to little kids. Look. There's a teddy bear in a policeman's cap.
Jim: [under his breath] Didn't think you'd notice...
[SCENE_BREAK]
Michael: Why don't you just take that pen and stab me in the heart. This is me, Jan. This is me!
Jan: Okay, Michael. Please, why don't we just take a break. This is really going nowhere.
Michael: Okay, no, no, no, no. You do not try tactic number eight on me. I invented tactic number eight. I'm not going anywhere.
Jan: Ok, Toby, how about if you...
Toby: Sure.
Jan: Great.
[SCENE_BREAK]
Jan: What's wrong with you?
Michael: Ohh. It was a weird day. I accidentally cross-dressed. And then Darryl made me feel bad for not making any money. And then I had to ride up here with stupid Toby. And then, your assistant, is all young and hot. And I---
Jan: Okay, Michael. I can offer you a 12% raise, but you have got to ask for 15.
Michael: Well that's ridiculous I'm not gonna make---
Jan: No, just... I just need you to ask for it, so I can record that you asked for it. Okay?
Michael: Ah, so... All right, Levinson. Here's the rub. I would like a 15% raise.
Jan: No. But we can offer you 12.
Michael: But you just said 15.
[SCENE_BREAK]
Michael: Negotiation is an art. Back and forth. Give and take. And today, both Darryl and I took something. Higher salaries. Win win win. But you know, life is about more... than just salaries. It's about perks. Like having s*x with Jan--
Jan: Michael!
[SCENE_BREAK]
Stanley: So you and Bob are looking at a historical house?
Phyllis: Mm-hmm, near the river.
Stanley: Mm, how many bedrooms?
Phyllis: Four.
[SCENE_BREAK]
Angela: Dwight. Dwight. I've been doing some very interesting reading.
Dwight: Really?
Angela: Mm-hmm. Tales of bravery.
Dwight: Mm, good stuff.
Angela: Mm-hmm. I was thinking tonight, we could... read it together.
Dwight: Sounds... fun. [they kiss, Jim walks out of the bathroom and sees]
[SCENE_BREAK]
Jim: [scoffs] I... will never say a word. And now, we are even.
[SCENE_BREAK]
Andy: I graduated from anger management the same way I graduated from Cornell. On time. Now I'm back. Got a second chance, and I'm not gonna blow it. [in a forceful voice] So look out Dunder Mifflin! [laughs] [snaps] I mean, look out... in a fun way! You know, not like, I'm gonna hurt you...
[SCENE_BREAK]
Andy: Hey guys! Guess who's back! [Dwight pepper-spray's Andy] AHHH! [screams in pain] OH, GOD!
Dwight: No need to thank me.
[SCENE_BREAK]
Dwight: I am not a hero. I am a mere defender of the office. You know who's a real hero? Hiro, from Heroes. That's a hero. Also, Bono.


RESURRECTION OF THE DALEKS
BY: ERIC SAWARD
Part One
Running time: 46:24
[SCENE_BREAK]
STIEN: Which way?
GALLOWAY: Does it matter?
MAN: Where are we?
MAN: Run!
STIEN: Where've they gone?
GALLOWAY: Where'd you think. Come on.
[SCENE_BREAK]
LYTTON: That was a shambles.
TROOPER: The escape was prevented?
LYTTON: They got out of the warehouse. It should never have happened. And who ordered the use of machine pistols?
TROOPER: Standing orders. Nothing anachronistic is to be taken to Earth.
LYTTON: So instead we slaughter valuable specimens. Next time, stun lasers are to be used.
TROOPER: It was an unfortunate mistake.
LYTTON: Make it your last, otherwise the next execution squad will be coming for you.
[SCENE_BREAK]
TEGAN: Are you all right?
DOCTOR: I can't free the TARDIS from the Time Corridor!
TEGAN: Is there anything you can do?
DOCTOR: No, too much turbulence. Hold on. Things must stabilise soon.
[SCENE_BREAK]
STIEN: What if they're still in there, waiting?
GALLOWAY: We must warn our own people.
[SCENE_BREAK]
STIEN: Use the Time Corridor?
GALLOWAY: You said you were a soldier. Have you no sense of loyalty?
STIEN: I'm a Quartermaster Sergeant. I'm not combat trained. I can't afford your sort of principles. Look at me, I'm not exactly in condition. I can't even run properly.
GALLOWAY: You're pathetic.
STIEN: That too.
[SCENE_BREAK]
TURLOUGH: Doctor, we're weaving in time.
DOCTOR: Yes, yes, I know.
TEGAN: Can't we materialise?
TURLOUGH: No, not until we're free of the Time Corridor. We risk break-up.
TEGAN: Is that true?
DOCTOR: Not if I have anything to do with it.
TEGAN: Oh, no.
[SCENE_BREAK]
GALLOWAY: They've gone.
STIEN: They could have closed the Time Corridor down. Let's get out of here. I'm scared.
GALLOWAY: The entrance to the corridor is round here somewhere.
STIEN: There's nothing there now. What was that?
GALLOWAY: A rodent.
STIEN: Wearing combat boots?
GALLOWAY: Back to the stairs, quick.
[SCENE_BREAK]
STIEN: Can you see anything?
GALLOWAY (OOV.): Get out of here!
STIEN: Galloway?
STIEN: Galloway!
STIEN: Oh, Galloway.
[SCENE_BREAK]
TEGAN: What are we waiting for?
DOCTOR: The right moment. The time stress on the TARDIS varies greatly. I'm waiting for the right moment to break out of the Time Corridor.
TEGAN: Can I get to my room? I feel sick.
DOCTOR: Too late, Tegan. Hold on.
DOCTOR: Hold on!
[SCENE_BREAK]
TROOPER: Check list completed. All systems functioning.
LYTTON: Raise the force shield. All troopers to battle stations. Battle speed!
[SCENE_BREAK]
TEGAN: Doctor, I can't stand much more.
DOCTOR: Hold on.
DOCTOR: We're free.
TURLOUGH: Is it over?
DOCTOR: For the moment. Are you all right?
TEGAN: Yes, I think so.
[SCENE_BREAK]
MERCER: I don't believe this. How long has the station been in this state?
STYLES: Since regular inspections ceased.
MERCER: This place is falling to pieces.
STYLES: Huh. And you're seeing it on a good day. If you wanted to see everything spick and span, you shouldn't have asked for a transfer to a prison. Come on!
[SCENE_BREAK]
MERCER: How'd you cope with that mess?
STYLES: By ignoring it. My only concern is the medical welfare of the crew and the prisoner.
MERCER: Isn't that rather a narrow view of your responsibilities?
STYLES: Oh, do shut up, will you? It's the only way to stay sane. You've only been here three days. You know nothing.
MERCER: I've been here long enough to learn that the morale on this station is appalling.
STYLES: If the Captain doesn't care, why should I?
MERCER: Why, indeed?
STYLES: Look, my tour of duty finishes here in eight weeks. I'm dependent on a good report from the Captain for my next promotion.
MERCER: I see.
STYLES: Oh no, I don't think you do. If I don't get a good report, I could be here for another two years.
MERCER: If Control were aware of the morale on this station, the Captain wouldn't be in command.
STYLES: It's been tried before, usually by inexperienced new boys like you. And the way you're carrying on, you are going to end up exactly like the others.
MERCER: Meaning?
STYLES: Dead. You are the third security officer we've had here in two years. [/i]
[SCENE_BREAK]
TURLOUGH: Doctor, we're travelling parallel to the Time Corridor.
TEGAN: Where are we going?
TURLOUGH: Twentieth century Earth, it seems.
[SCENE_BREAK]
OSBORN: How long is your tour of duty?
MERCER: Two years.
OSBORN: Oh? The Captain normally allows new arrivals to settle in before subjecting them to the tedium of Officer of the Watch. What did you do?
MERCER: I complained.
OSBORN: Someone should have warned you.
MERCER: I had every right. Have you seen the state of the defence system?
OSBORN: You fear an attack?
MERCER: That's not the point.
OSBORN: Oh, I wouldn't worry about it. The only ship we ever see around here is our own supply vessel.
CREWMAN: I think you may have spoken too soon. Sensors have picked up a ship in warp drive just enter the exclusion zone.
MERCER: Inform the Captain.
OSBORN: I wouldn't bother him. Not yet. It could be anything. Let the fighters check it out first.
MERCER: What?
OSBORN: They'll be grateful for the practice.
[SCENE_BREAK]
TEGAN: Have you calculated where we are?
DOCTOR: Well, the instruments are still affected by turbulence, but I think it's 1984, London. Found it!
TURLOUGH: Doctor, where are you going?
DOCTOR: The Time Corridor. I want to find out what all this is about.
[SCENE_BREAK]
OSBORN: Fighter leader has made visual contact. It's a battle cruiser!
MERCER: Go to Red Alert. Inform the Captain.
CREWMAN: Sensors report we're being scanned, sir.
MERCER: Red Alert at once!
[SCENE_BREAK]
DOCTOR: Such neglect. A hundred years ago this place would have been bustling with activity.
TEGAN: It might be again when we find out who's operating the Time Corridor.
DOCTOR: Come on. Trouble with you, Tegan, you have no imagination.
TEGAN: That's because I can't get worked up about a load of crumbling brickwork.
[SCENE_BREAK]
MERCER: Operate the deflector shield.
CREWMAN: Power building.
MERCER: Seal airlocks.
OSBORN: The battle cruiser has attacked the fighters.
MERCER: Can we give them any supporting fire?
OSBORN: No, not at the moment.
CREWMAN: All but airlock three is sealed.
MERCER: Alert maintenance.
CREWMAN: We've been hit!
MERCER: What's happening?
OSBORN: Engineering report.
MERCER: What's happening?
OSBORN: Engineering report damage to the generating plant.
CREWMAN: Cruiser's closing in, sir.
OSBORN: I've lost contact with the fighters.
MERCER: Open fire. I said, open fire!
CREWMAN: I can't! We don't have enough power for the laser cannon. We are defenceless.
CREWMAN: Look, we should surrender!
MERCER: No!
OSBORN: But we can't fight. We don't even have a deflector shield.
STYLES: Mercer! How much longer is this slaughter to continue?
MERCER: Where's the Captain?
STYLES: Dead, along with half the crew.
OSBORN: Battle cruiser preparing to dock.
MERCER: Which airlock?
OSBORN: Three. Maintenance team's still working on it.
MERCER: I want every available man down there. Block the corridor with anything they can find.
STYLES: More killing?
MERCER: Your bile would be better directed against the enemy, Doctor.
STYLES: How long before they dock?
MERCER: Three minutes. We'd better go down to the airlock.
STYLES: Right.
MERCER: Should we be boarded, destroy the prisoner.
OSBORN: Good luck.
[SCENE_BREAK]
STIEN: Don't come in here. Soldiers.
DOCTOR: What?
DOCTOR: He'll be all right.
TEGAN: Look at the way he's dressed.
DOCTOR: He must have come down the Time Corridor.
STIEN: You've got to help me.
DOCTOR: What happened?
[SCENE_BREAK]
MERCER: Check how much longer the maintenance crew will be.
STYLES: Right.
MERCER: The cruiser's docked.
STYLES: The cruiser's docked.
MERCER: Get the shield down!
STYLES: Come on, pull!
STYLES: Pull!
[SCENE_BREAK]
STIEN: I must rest. I'm hungry. I haven't eaten since yesterday.
DOCTOR: Who's controlling the Time Corridor?
STIEN: I don't know. Have you got anything to eat?
TEGAN: Where are you from?
STIEN: Earth, but not all the prisoners are from the same period. Are you sure you haven't got anything to eat?
DOCTOR: Relax. I'm going into the warehouse.
STIEN: No! I told you, there are soldiers.
DOCTOR: Perhaps they can tell us what's going on, hmm?
[SCENE_BREAK]
STIEN: The Time Corridor's on the next level. Be careful.
[SCENE_BREAK]
MERCER: Wait until I give the order.
CREWMAN 2: Okay.
MERCER: Fire!
STYLES: Now. Now!
DALEK: Under attack. Withdraw. Regroup.
DALEK 2: Under attack.
DALEK: Withdraw.
DALEK 2: Withdraw.
DALEKS: Withdraw. Withdraw. Withdraw.
[SCENE_BREAK]
DALEKS (OOV.): Regroup.
LYTTON: Fools! I told you this would happen. They mined the corridor.
BLACK: We do not want excuses. The attack must continue.
LYTTON: Only this time, as I planned.
DALEK: You will show more respect for the Supreme Dalek.
LYTTON: Your battle tactics won't work. Their position is too strong.
BLACK: You may proceed. We shall try your plan. But should you fail, you will be exterminated.
[SCENE_BREAK]
TURLOUGH: Dark, isn't it.
DOCTOR: Look around.
STIEN: I can't see Galloway's body.
TEGAN: Look, Doctor. Bullets.
DOCTOR: Recently fired.
TEGAN: Hardly alien.
DOCTOR: Why advertise who you are, hmm?
TEGAN: Where's Turlough?
DOCTOR: Turlough?
TEGAN: Where's he gone?
DOCTOR: Turlough!
[SCENE_BREAK]
ARCHER: Did you hear that?
CALDER: No, sir.
ARCHER: I thought I heard voices.
[SCENE_BREAK]
STYLES: How long before they try again?
MERCER: Soon.
STYLES: Can't we board, take the fight to them?
MERCER: I think not.
MERCER: Fire!
MERCER: Masks down! Masks down!
[SCENE_BREAK]
MERCER: Move it! We're finished. It's every man for himself.
CREWMAN: Oh, no, every man for himself?
MERCER: Destroy the prisoner.
OSBORN: It's not working! Come with me.
[SCENE_BREAK]
DOCTOR: Turlough!
ARCHER: May I help you, gentlemen? This is private property.
DOCTOR: Er, yes, I'm sorry about this. A friend of mine wandered in here by mistake, and we're looking for him.
ARCHER: I don't see him.
LAIRD: What's going on?
ARCHER: Precisely what I'm trying to find out.
[SCENE_BREAK]
OSBORN: Come on, come on!
[SCENE_BREAK]
TROOPER: The bridge has been secured, sir.
LYTTON: Good. We must join them.
DALEK: The Doctor has been detained in the warehouse.
BLACK: Despatch a Dalek. He must be brought to our ship at once.
DALEK: I obey.
[SCENE_BREAK]
OSBORN: Oh, does nothing work properly?
OSBORN: Try here. What's that smell?
MERCER: Well, it can't be the prisoner.
[SCENE_BREAK]
ARCHER: Time Corridors. Alien beings. Really.
STIEN: You may not believe us but all we need is a minute or two more. The entrance to the Time Corridor is on this level, somewhere.
DOCTOR: Interesting. You don't disbelieve us, do you?
ARCHER: Of course I disbelieve you. I've never heard such nonsense.
DOCTOR: What have you discovered?
ARCHER: Nothing. Take them away.
LAIRD: Tell them, Colonel. They've guessed most of it already.
ARCHER: Are you from the Press?
DOCTOR: What have you found?
ARCHER: Quiet.
DOCTOR: Tell me! Alien objects?
ARCHER: You'd better inform HQ about what's happened.
CALDER: Okay, sir.
[SCENE_BREAK]
OSBORN: Right, explosive charges primed. What is that smell?
OSBORN: Keep back!
MERCER: Help me!
OSBORN: Stay away!
MERCER: What's happening to me?
TROOPER: Disarmed.
LYTTON: Release Davros.
[SCENE_BREAK]
CALDER: It's heavy static. Can't get through to HQ.
DOCTOR: A side effect of the Time Corridor.
ARCHER: Be quiet.
ARCHER: Who's that?
DOCTOR: Don't harm her, please. She's a friend.
[SCENE_BREAK]
TEGAN: Sorry, Doctor. Look!
ARCHER: What is it?
DOCTOR: A Dalek. Take cover!
DALEK: Exterminate. Exterminate. Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate!
[SCENE_BREAK]
LAIRD: Where did they come from?
STIEN: The Time Corridor.
LAIRD: From the ship you were on?
STIEN: Must be.
LAIRD: What do they want?
TEGAN: I hope we never find out.
DOCTOR: Aim for the eyepiece, the stalk at the top of the dome.
DALEK: My vision is impaired. I cannot see. My vision is impaired. I cannot see.
DOCTOR: Quickly!
DALEK: I cannot see. My vision is impaired. I cannot see. Warning. Warning.
DOCTOR: Open the door!
DALEK: I cannot see! I cannot see! Warning! Emergency!
DOCTOR: Stand clear!
LAIRD: She's all right. We should get her downstairs.
DOCTOR: While you're doing that, I'd like a hand with the debris outside.
[SCENE_BREAK]
DALEK: The Dalek sent to the warehouse has been destroyed.
BLACK: How is that possible?
DALEK: The Doctor was aided by the Earth soldiers.
BLACK: Seal the warehouse terminal of the Time Corridor. We will deal with the Doctor in due course.
[SCENE_BREAK]
STYLES: Where precisely are we going?
MERCER: Keep your mask down. There could still be gas around.
STYLES: So what. I'd rather die quickly than painfully of dehydration. Exactly how much longer are we going to wander around this place?
MERCER: Look, as far as we know, there are only four of us still alive. We can't fight the Daleks alone.
STYLES: Only minutes ago you were prepared to fight till the bitter end.
MERCER: And look where it got me. A dead crew.
STYLES: Then don't let it be for nothing.
MERCER: What can we do?
STYLES: Have you forgotten? This station has a self-destruct system.
[SCENE_BREAK]
TROOPER: He's very still. Is he dead?
LYTTON: I think not.
[SCENE_BREAK]
CALDER: Soon be ready.
LAIRD: We could all do with something a bit stronger. How's your friend upstairs?
CALDER: He's dead.
DOCTOR: How is she?
LAIRD: She's sleeping naturally.
CALDER: Tea, sir?
ARCHER: Thank you.
DOCTOR: Who discovered these cylinders?
CALDER: Builders. They're converting the warehouse into flats. Thought they were unexploded bombs.
DOCTOR: Have you tried to open one?
LAIRD: They haven't even scratched the casing.
ARCHER: Do you think the Daleks have anything to do with this?
DOCTOR: It would be an enormous coincidence if they didn't.
[SCENE_BREAK]
DAVROS: Who are you?
LYTTON: Commander Lytton.
DAVROS: Commander? My Daleks do not need troops.
LYTTON: You'd still be in prison or dead if it weren't for my men.
DAVROS: You speak as though my Daleks are no longer capable of war.
LYTTON: A lot has happened during your imprisonment.
DAVROS: The war with the Movellans is over?
LYTTON: Yes, although casualties were very high.
DAVROS: It is to be expected.
LYTTON: I'm talking about Dalek casualties.
DAVROS: Dalek casualties?
LYTTON: They lost, Davros. They were totally defeated.
[SCENE_BREAK]
CALDER: Zero three to HQ. Zero three to HQ. Over.
ARCHER: Keep trying.
DOCTOR: You must get reinforcements.
CALDER: Zero three to HQ.
ARCHER: I can't conjure them out of the air. I have to find a telephone.
LAIRD: I'll go. You're needed here.
ARCHER: This is more than a military matter now. I have to speak to the Ministry of Defence. We'll need a massive troop involvement.
CALDER: Zero three to HQ. Zero three to HQ. Over.
DOCTOR: I'll come with you.
ARCHER: You're the only one who knows anything about fighting Daleks. Your duty's here.
[SCENE_BREAK]
BLACK: He is a companion of the Doctor.
DALEK: He should be destroyed.
BLACK: He would be better used as bait. The Doctor is sentimental and emotional. He will come after the boy. This will aid the Dalek plan. Allow the boy to roam freely.
[SCENE_BREAK]
MERCER: We'll rest for a moment.
STYLES: Don't you get funny ideas? I'd give anything for a glass of cool spring mountain water.
MERCER: Quiet. Down!
MERCER: Fire!
STYLES: Careful.
MERCER: Uniforms.
STYLES: Uniforms.
[SCENE_BREAK]
LAIRD: Here, take these. It'll help your head.
DOCTOR: I won't be long. I must get back to my ship.
CALDER: Sir.
DOCTOR: I must find Turlough.
CALDER: Yes, I understand how you feel, sir, but I must ask you to wait till the Colonel gets back.
DOCTOR: No, no, no, no. There is isn't time. Turlough's on board the Dalek ship.
CALDER: I'm sure the Colonel won't be long.
STIEN: Let him go.
CALDER: I can't.
[SCENE_BREAK]
SOLDIER: Help!
CALDER: Are you all right, lad?
DOCTOR: Be careful.
STIEN: I was terrified it was a Dalek.
DOCTOR: It was, or at least, the remains of one.
CALDER: He's still alive.
DOCTOR: We have to find it before it tries to kill again.
[SCENE_BREAK]
LYTTON: You all right?
DAVROS: There are malfunctions in my life-support system. I require an engineer.
LYTTON: We must board the Dalek ship.
DAVROS: I must remain close to my cryogenic chamber. It may be necessary for me to be refrozen.
LYTTON: There is a time factor. The space station transmitted a distress call.
DAVROS: It will take days for a task force to arrive.
LYTTON: Not if the signal's been intercepted by a patrol ship.
DAVROS: Then you will shoot it down! I cannot be moved.
[SCENE_BREAK]
BLACK: Order an engineer to attend Davros.
DALEK: We should leave here at once.
BLACK: Without Davros, we have no future. He must be made to believe that we serve him.
[SCENE_BREAK]
STIEN: This is a waste of time. The mutant could have escaped using the Time Corridor.
DOCTOR: True, so why are you being so tentative in your search?
STIEN: We don't know for certain.
DOCTOR: Precisely. That's why we're searching the warehouse.
CALDER: What's it look like?
DOCTOR: Oh, you won't mistake it. The moment you find it, it'll try and kill you.
[SCENE_BREAK]
ARCHER: Gentlemen, you've saved my life. I'm Colonel Archer, Bomb Disposal Squad. I have to make an urgent call. May I use your radio?
ARCHER: Please?
ARCHER: Thank you. It's dead.
[SCENE_BREAK]
DAVROS: Tell be about the Dalek defeat.
LYTTON: You already know most of it. The Daleks and the Movellans were locked in an impasse. Each time their respective fleets attempted a stratagem, it was instantly anticipated and countered by their opponent's battle computer.
DAVROS: Two totally logical war machines unable to out-think each other. Fascinating. If only I'd been there.
LYTTON: Then the Movellans found the answer.
KISTON: Sorry, sir.
DAVROS: Quickly, tell me.
LYTTON: They developed a virus which exclusively attacks the Daleks. The fleet was destroyed. Those who survived went to separate parts of the universe to escape the risk of further infection and work on a cure.
DAVROS: Have they succeeded?
LYTTON: Not yet.
DAVROS: So, they have returned to their creator. Like an errant child, they have come home once more, but this time they will not abuse me. This time, I shall take my rightful place as their Supreme Being, and under my control, the Daleks shall once more become triumphant!
LYTTON: Will you be able to find an antidote?
DAVROS: Of course.
LYTTON: A lot of research has already been done.
DAVROS: I am Davros. The Daleks are my creation. If necessary, I shall genetically re-engineer them. Have you finished?
KISTON: Almost, sir.
DAVROS: I will need a laboratory.
LYTTON: There is one already prepared for you.
DAVROS: I shall work here, on the station.
LYTTON: I've explained. There isn't time.
DAVROS: I cannot risk an accident. If the virus were to escape on board the Dalek ship
LYTTON: Every precaution has been taken.
DAVROS: I work here! Or not at all.
LYTTON: I'll see what can be arranged.
DAVROS: Hurry. There is much work to be done.
KISTON: I've finished, sir.
DAVROS: Close the panel.
[SCENE_BREAK]
BLACK (OOV.): I order you to obey Davros.
LYTTON: And what happens when the task force arrives from Earth?
BLACK (OOV.): We shall be gone. I have a plan that will force Davros to leave of his own free will. Until then, you must supply him with everything he demands. Allow him access to the Space Station's laboratory.
[SCENE_BREAK]
KISTON: As you command.
LYTTON: What happened?
DAVROS: A small accident.
LYTTON: Are you all right?
KISTON: I caught my hand. It's nothing, sir.
[SCENE_BREAK]
STIEN: It isn't here. We haven't found the entrance to the Time Corridor, either.
DOCTOR: Temporarily disconnected, I would think.
CALDER: Doctor.
STIEN: What is it?
DOCTOR: Nothing, nothing. Go on with the search.
STIEN: So much for the conqueror of the universe. I told you it had gone.
STIEN: Is it dead?
DOCTOR: Would you care to take a look? How is he?
CALDER: It's more shock than physical. Come on, lad. Let's get you downstairs. Come on, you'll be all right.
LAIRD: What happened?
DOCTOR: The Dalek wasn't quite dead, I'm afraid. Here, take this.
CALDER: Give us a hand with him.
LAIRD: Of course.
DOCTOR: We must get back to the TARDIS. I have to find the Dalek ship.
STIEN: I'm not going back there. They'll kill me.
DOCTOR: I need your help.
STIEN: Help? Huh. You don't know how much of a coward I am.
DOCTOR: Well, you can take this opportunity to show me. Come along.
[SCENE_BREAK]
MERCER: Kill him!
STYLES: Wait. At least question him first.
[SCENE_BREAK]
TEGAN: What happened? What was that shooting?
CALDER: A small problem with a Dalek.
TEGAN: He'd be more comfortable over here.
LAIRD: Stay where you are.
CALDER: It looks superficial.
LAIRD: As long as there isn't any poison in it. Well, it was caused by an alien. We don't know what infection may have entered his bloodstream.
CALDER: The Colonel'll be back soon, then we get the pair of them to hospital.
[SCENE_BREAK]
DAVROS: Ninety years I was frozen in that. Ninety years of mind-numbing boredom.
LYTTON: You were conscious?
DAVROS: Every second. The creatures of Earth have no stomach for judicial murder. They prefer to leave you to slowly rot and die. They call it being humane.
KISTON: Then you must be equally humane in your revenge.
DAVROS: It is a planet I shall destroy at my leisure. But first, I must deal with a meddling Time Lord.
LYTTON: That has been anticipated.
DAVROS: You have the Doctor?
LYTTON: His capture is imminent.
DAVROS: Excellent! Once I have drained his mind of all knowledge, he shall then die slowly and painfully! He has interfered for the last time.
[SCENE_BREAK]
DOCTOR: Yes, I know.
STEIN: What?
DOCTOR: It's bigger inside than out.
STIEN: I'm going mad. Daleks, Time Corridors, now this.
DOCTOR: Don't worry, soon be over.
STIEN: Yes, but will I still be sane enough to know?
[SCENE_BREAK]
STYLES: Don't do that.
MERCER: Hide your eyes if it offends you.
STYLES: Look, even an idiot like you must realise that he doesn't know anything.
MERCER: He's not a member of the crew. He must be with the Daleks.
TURLOUGH: I've told you, I'm from Earth.
MERCER: Then how did you get here?
TURLOUGH: The Dalek's Time Corridor.
MERCER: Do you believe that?
STYLES: Why not? We know the Daleks are capable of time travel.
MERCER: So we're letting him go.
STYLES: No, but we're not going to wait here for the Daleks to find us, either.
[SCENE_BREAK]
CALDER: Any one want some tea?
LAIRD: No, thanks.
TEGAN: I'd much rather have the Colonel back. How much longer is he going to be?
CALDER: Hey, where are you going, lad? Come on, you're excused duties.
LAIRD: Are you all right?
CALDER: Yeah. You stay there.
TEGAN: What's all that about?
[SCENE_BREAK]
DALEK: Activate the exit to the Time Corridor.
DALEKS: We obey.
[SCENE_BREAK]
CALDER: Come on, lad. Nothing to worry about. It's only Sergeant Calder. Colonel's gone for an ambulance. Then you'll be all right.
DALEKS: Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate!
[SCENE_BREAK]
TEGAN: That was gunfire.
LAIRD: Quickly. We should get out of here. Quickly.
ARCHER: There's nothing to worry about.
[SCENE_BREAK]
LYTTON: I'll inform him at once. Your laboratory is ready.
DAVROS: Good. I will require the assistance of a chemist.
LYTTON: Of course.
DAVROS: And Kiston. He has proven to be a competent mechanical engineer.
LYTTON: As you wish.
DAVROS: Guards?
LYTTON: An escort. There are still members of the crew still at large. It's purely a precaution.
DAVROS: I am very difficult to kill. You should already know that.
[SCENE_BREAK]
TEGAN: (quietly) That's not Colonel Archer. He gave the Doctor his gun belt, yet he's wearing one.
ARCHER: What are you two whispering about?
LAIRD: I was wondering when the ambulance for Tegan would arrive.
ARCHER: That is in hand.
TEGAN: And the reinforcements?
ARCHER: That is a military matter and therefore confidential.
LAIRD: I don't think we should wait for the ambulance.
ARCHER: This warehouse is under martial law. Attempt to leave, and I'll have the pair of you shot.
[SCENE_BREAK]
DOCTOR: That's it. I've located the Dalek ship. Now, I could drop you off at the warehouse when I collect Tegan.
STIEN: I'll come with you.
DOCTOR: Good man.
[SCENE_BREAK]
DALEK: The Doctor's TARDIS has been caught in the Time Corridor.
BLACK: Prepare the duplication room.
DALEK: I obey.
[SCENE_BREAK]
DOCTOR: Turlough?
DOCTOR: Turlough? Foolish boy.
DOCTOR: Quickly, let's get out of here.
STIEN: No, Doctor.
DOCTOR: This is madness. The Daleks won't thank you for capturing me. They'll kill you.
STIEN: I didn't quite tell you the truth. I serve the Daleks. I'm a Dalek agent.
DALEKS: Exterminate the Doctor. Exterminate the Doctor. Exterminate the Doctor. Exterminate. Exterminate! Exterminate!


113 - Le Morte d'Arthur "In a land of myth and a time of magic, the destiny of a great kingdom rests on the shoulders of a young boy. His name: Merlin." Forest Arthur's hunting party sneaks through the woods.
ARTHUR: Merlin, spear. Merlin drops it on him.
ARTHUR: Do you have any natural gifts, Merlin?
MERLIN: No. Well, let me think. I'm not naturally rude or insensitive.
ARTHUR: Just naturally irritating. They move forward and hear growling noises. Arthur catches Merlin's expression.
ARTHUR: It's probably more scared of you than you are of it. Arthur signals to his knights where to go. Questing Beast jumps out at them. Arthur drops his spear and they all run. Merlin falls. Arthur and Sir Bedivere help him up. Bedivere subsequently falls and gets killed by the beast.
MERLIN: Have we lost it?
ARTHUR: Who's missing?
MERLIN: Where's Sir Bedivere?
SIR BEDIVERE: *scream* Castle - Council Chamber Of Doom
GAIUS: The creature you describe has all the characteristics of the Questing Beast.
ARTHUR: Surely that's a myth.
GAIUS: According to the old books, the appearance of the Questing Beast is supposed to foreshadow a time of great upheaval.
UTHER: Gaius, it's an old wives' tale.
ARTHUR: Look, whatever it is, it's spreading panic. The people fear it will enter the city.
UTHER: Then we must kill it. Arthur, gather the guard together. You ride at dawn.
GAIUS: I beg you, Sire, do not dismiss this. The beast is an omen. I've seen it come before, the night your wife Ygraine passed away.
UTHER: I've told you not to speak of that night again. I have conquered the Old Religion. It's warnings mean nothing to me now. Arthur will destroy the beast and we will no longer suffer at its hand. Gaius's Chambers
GAIUS: This is no ordinary beast, Merlin.
MERLIN: Don't worry.
GAIUS: No, listen to me, you don't understand. Uther may not respect the Old Religion, but it is very real. To face a beast such as this, you must understand where it came from.
MERLIN: What do you mean?
GAIUS: At the very heart of the Old Religion lies the magic of life and death itself. The Questing Beast carries that power. One bite, you die, and there is no cure. Morgana's Chambers Morgana dreams of the dragon flaming, Merlin yelling "NO!", Arthur and Merlin running in the woods, Arthur lying sick in bed, and the Questing Beast. Morgana bolts up in bed screaming.
GWEN: Morgana? Morgana?! Wake up. Gwen struggles with flailing Morgana.
GWEN: Wake up, it's me! It's Gwen! Stop it! It was just another dream.
MORGANA: It was terrifying.
GWEN: Oh, it's going to be alright. Gwen hugs Morgana. Castle - Main Square Arthur speaks to his knights.
ARTHUR: You've seen the foe we face. It's a creature of nightmare, but you are the best knights in the realm. We can, and we will, kill it before it harms another citizen of our kingdom. Arthur draws his sword.
ARTHUR: For the love of Camelot! The knights draw swords.
KNIGHTS: For the love of Camelot! Morgana rushes out of the palace in her nightgown, hysterical.
MORGANA: Arthur!
ARTHUR: Morgana, what are you doing?
MORGANA: You cannot face this! Morgana tries to grab him, Arthur struggles with her.
ARTHUR: Morgana, go back to bed. There is nothing to be afraid of.
MORGANA: Please, Arthur. I have seen terrible things! You cannot go!
MERLIN: She probably had a bad dream, Sire. I'll take her to see Gaius.
MORGANA: No! I will not let you go!
ARTHUR: Please, Merlin, get her inside.
MORGANA: No! Arthur hands her off to Merlin and motions for the guards to come down. Merlin guides Morgana up the steps.
MERLIN: I will make sure he's safe, My Lady. I promise.
MORGANA: No! Merlin hands her off to the guards.
MORGANA: No! Guards lead her inside. Forest Arthur and knights sneak through the woods. Arthur finds gigantic paw print.
ARTHUR: Let's follow the trail. They hear growling and heavy footfalls.
ARTHUR: Keep close. They find and enter beast's lair. Merlin and Arthur split from the rest. they hear hissing.
MERLIN: What is it?
ARTHUR: Shh! Questing Beast sneaks up on them. Arthur pushes Merlin out of the way and takes on the beast. The beast claws him in the chest, throwing him to the ground. It moves in on Arthur. Merlin tries to distract it by waving his torch.
MERLIN: Hey! Hey! Merlin uses magic to pick up Arthur's dropped sword.
MERLIN: Fléoge! Bregdan anwiele gefeluc! Merlin enchants the sword and magically throws it into the Questing Beast, killing it. Merlin goes to Arthur and shakes him.
MERLIN: It didn't bite you. It didn't. Merlin sees blood on his hand.
MERLIN: Arthur?! Somebody help me! Gaius's Chambers Merlin clears a table with one sweep. Guards place Arthur's stretcher on it.
GAIUS: What's happened? Gaius looks at Arthur's wound.
GAIUS: He's been bitten.
MERLIN: I tried to save him.
GAIUS: You must tell the King.
MERLIN: There must be something you can do.
GAIUS: I wish there was.
MERLIN: I'll find a cure.
GAIUS: Merlin!
MERLIN: Trust me! Merlin bolts into his room.
GAIUS: Can you hear me, Sire?
MERLIN: Here. Merlin brings out magic book.
GAIUS: The King'll be here any moment!
MERLIN: He can't die. It is my destiny to protect him. We haven't done all the things we're meant to do.
GAIUS: That is a lament of all men.
MERLIN: Gaius, he's my friend.
GAIUS: Then save him. Merlin uses magic to flip through the book.
MERLIN: Gestathole. Nothing happens. Merlin flips through the book again.
MERLIN: Thurhhaele. Nothing happens.
MERLIN: Maybe the spells need time to take effect.
GAIUS: The bite of the Questing Beast is a death sentence that no magic can overturn.
UTHER: Where is the Prince?! Where is my son?! Uther enters.
UTHER: Arthur! Merlin magically closes his magic book.
UTHER: Do something, Gaius!
GAIUS: I am trying, your majesty.
MERLIN: Gaius will find a cure. He will not let him die.
GAIUS: I will do everything in my power. Uther desperately picks up Arthur himself.
UTHER: I'll bear him to his chamber. Castle - Main Square Uther walks through the Square with Arthur in his arms, Merlin and Gaius following. Uther collapses in his grief. Four knights come to bear Arthur inside as the King weeps on his knees. Morgana opens a window and watches the scene below. Dragon's Cave Merlin rushes to the Dragon's Cave.
MERLIN: I have failed Arthur, failed in my destiny.
KILGHARRAH: And yet, you would not be here if that were true.
MERLIN: He was bitten by the Questing Beast. He's going to die.
KILGHARRAH: Does he still breathe?
MERLIN: Only just.
KILGHARRAH: Then there is still time to heal him.
MERLIN: I've tried. I cannot save him.
KILGHARRAH: You do not know how to save him.
MERLIN: But you can tell me how?
KILGHARRAH: Perhaps. It will not be easy.
MERLIN: I will do anything.
KILGHARRAH: Anything?
MERLIN: Please, just tell me what I have to do!
KILGHARRAH: Very well. The Questing Beast is a creature conjured by the powers of the Old Religion. You must use the same ancient magic to save him.
MERLIN: But the Old Religion died out centuries ago.
KILGHARRAH: The Old Religion is the magic of the earth itself. It is the essence which binds all things together. It will last long beyond the time of men.
MERLIN: But how can that help me save Arthur?
KILGHARRAH: You must find those who still serve it. Those who hold dominion over life and death.
MERLIN: Where?
KILGHARRAH: Go to the place that men call the Isle of the Blessed, where the power of the ancients can still be felt. There you will discover Arthur's salvation.
MERLIN: Thank you. Thank you.
KILGHARRAH: And Merlin, the young Pendragon must live, no matter what the cost. Gaius's Chambers
GAIUS: Merlin, you're back. I need your help. You must get this to Arthur to ease his passing.
MERLIN: No. We have to save him. Merlin starts packing food.
GAIUS: You've already tried.
MERLIN: The beast comes from the Old Religion. The cure must come from there as well.
GAIUS: There are not many left with such an art.
MERLIN: You said yourself, the Old Religion is still alive, and there is an island beyond the White Mountains...
GAIUS: No!
MERLIN: The Isle of the Blessed...You know it?
GAIUS: It was said to be the centre of the Old Religion, the focus of its power.
MERLIN: Why did you keep this from me?
GAIUS: Because it was too dangerous, Merlin.
MERLIN: It's our only chance! I have to find it!
GAIUS: And once you are there, what will you ask?
MERLIN: For Arthur to be saved.
GAIUS: The Questing Beast chose Arthur. That means the Old Religion has decided his fate.
MERLIN: Then I will convince them to change their minds!
GAIUS: It is not that simple! The High Priests have the power to mirror life and death, but there will be a price to pay. They will demand a life in return. Merlin, please, I beg of you.
MERLIN: I'm sorry, Gaius. Whatever the price is, I will pay it gladly. Arthur lies dying in his bed. Castle - Gate Merlin prepares his horse to leave. Gaius approaches him.
GAIUS: Here. Gaius hands Merlin rolled parchment.
GAIUS: You'll need a map. And I'm going to give you this. My mother gave it to me. Merlin unwraps tiny package.
GAIUS: It's a rabbit's foot.
MERLIN: To keep you safe.
GAIUS: It was said to protect you from evil spirits. It's rubbish. I don't believe in superstition. I don't know why I gave it to you. Gaius reaches to take it back.
MERLIN: No. I want it. Thank you. (sigh) You've got to keep Arthur alive until I get back. Merlin mounts and rides off through the woods. Arthur's Chambers Arthur stirs in his fevered sleep. Uther watches him.
UTHER: Shh. Sleep, Arthur. Countryside Merlin travels through the countryside with the map.
KILGHARRAH (voiceover): You must travel to the place that men call the Isle of the Blessed. Beyond the White Mountains. Through the Valley of the Fallen Kings. To the north of the great seas of place name: Marador, you will find a lake. Arthur's Chambers Gaius is asleep in the chair next to Arthur's sick bed. Gwen enters and knocks on the door to wake Gaius.
GWEN: Gaius? You should get some rest.
GAIUS: He must not be left alone.
GWEN: I will nurse him. Gaius leaves. Gwen takes the towel from Arthur's forehead, dips it in a bowl of water, and sits on the bed to tend to him.
GWEN: You're not going to die, Arthur. I'm telling you. Because I know that one day you will be King. A greater king than you father could ever be. It's what keeps me going. You are going to live to be the man I've seen inside you, Arthur. I can see a Camelot that is fair and just. I can see a king that the people will love and be proud to call their sovereign. For the love of Camelot, you have to live. Arthur's Chambers A crowd gathers outside Arthur's window holding candles. Uther watches from the Griffin Landing window. Gaius comes up behind him.
GAIUS: Is there anything I can get your majesty?
UTHER: The people have begun to say goodbye.
GAIUS: He's not yet gone, Sire.
UTHER: But he will not recover.
GAIUS: Not without a miracle.
UTHER: I don't believe in miracles. Lake / Isle Of The Blessed Merlin approaches the lake, steps in a little boat.
MERLIN: Astyre. The propels boat across the lake. Merlin steps out into the fortress on the island and looks around.
MERLIN: Hello?
NIMUEH: Hello, Merlin.
MERLIN: You.
NIMUEH: Do you know who I am?
MERLIN: Nimueh. You can't be who the dragon meant.
NIMUEH: And why is that?
MERLIN: You tried to kill me.
NIMUEH: Before I understood your importance.
MERLIN: And Arthur.
NIMUEH: Arthur was never destined to die at my hand, and now it seems I will be his salvation.
MERLIN: So you know what I've come to ask?
NIMUEH: Yes.
MERLIN: Will you do it?
NIMUEH: I do not have the power to mirror life itself and yet give nothing in return.
MERLIN: I know that a price will be asked.
NIMUEH: To save a life, there must be a death. The balance of the world must be restored.
MERLIN: I willingly give my life for Arthur's.
NIMUEH: How brave you are, Merlin. If only it were that simple.
MERLIN: What do you mean?
NIMUEH: Once you enter into this bargain, it cannot be undone.
MERLIN: Whatever I have to do, I will do. His life is worth a hundred of mine.
NIMUEH: The Cup of Life, blessed by centuries of powerful sorcerers so that it contains the very secret of life itself. If Arthur drinks water from the Cup, he will live. Merlin takes the Cup.
NIMUEH: Tídrénas. Nimueh makes it rain on Merlin for a moment. Merlin collects the water in the Cup. Nimueh takes the Cup and pours the water into a small, decorative canteen.
NIMUEH: The bargain is struck. I hope it pleases you. Merlin rides into Camelot the next morning. Gaius's Chambers
GAIUS: Merlin!
MERLIN: We need to give this to Arthur. Merlin hands Gaius the decorative canteen.
GAIUS: What is it?
MERLIN: Water drawn from the Cup of Life. If Arthur drinks from it, he will recover. Please hurry. Gaius begins to walk out, but stops and faces Merlin.
MERLIN: What are you waiting for?
GAIUS: What price did you pay to redeem his life? Whose life did you bargain?!
MERLIN: We don't have time.
GAIUS: Merlin!
MERLIN: Don't worry, Gaius! Everything's going to be alright. Gaius and Merlin giving Arthur the water. Uther enters.
UTHER: What are you doing, physician? What are you giving him?
GAIUS: It's a... It's a tincture made from the lobelia plant, an ancient remedy for poisonous bites.
UTHER: A cure?
GAIUS: We hope.
UTHER: Do you really think it will have some effect?
GAIUS: It's our last resort, Sire. Perhaps you should allow him to rest.
UTHER: I will not leave him. Gaius and Merlin exit. Uther sits by Arthur's bedside. Castle - Central Corridor Gaius and Merlin head down the corridor. Morgana grabs Merlin's arm and pulls him into an alcove.
MORGANA: Please, Merlin, you must beware. This is only the beginning. Merlin pulls away and continues down the corridor. Arthur's Chambers Gaius paces in Arthur's Chambers, Uther sleeps hunched over the bed. Arthur wakes. Uther wakes.
UTHER: Arthur. Arthur looks around and puts his head back down. Gaius's Chambers Gaius enters in his chambers where Merlin is pacing.
GAIUS: The Prince lives. Arthur's Chambers
UTHER: I thought we'd lost you.
ARTHUR: Don't worry, Father, I'm not going to die. I think there's someone watching over me, keeping me from harm.
UTHER: Maybe you're right. On your long journey to become King, you will need a guardian angel. I shall inform the court that their Prince lives. Gwen enters as Uther exits. she puts down the towels she's carrying and looks anxiously at Arthur. Arthur opens his eyes and turns to look at her. Gwen smiles in relief.
GWEN: I knew it. I said you'd be alright.
ARTHUR: I can remember you talking to me.
GWEN: You can?
ARTHUR: You stroked my forehead.
GWEN: I was tending to your fever.
ARTHUR: You never lost faith.
GWEN: I was just talking.
ARTHUR: Tell me again what you said?
GWEN: I don't remember.
ARTHUR: Yes, you do.
GWEN: No, I don't.
ARTHUR: Come on. Something about "the man I am inside."
GWEN: No, I never said that.
ARTHUR: Guinevere...
GWEN: I have to get these washed, Sire. Gwen exits hurriedly with the dirty cloths. Arthur grins in amusement.
[SCENE_BREAK]
Merlin's Chamber Merlin sits on his bed, waiting to die, while a thunderstorm whips through the night. A figure enters the Camelot on foot. A trembling diseased hand opens the door to the Physician's Chambers. We see Morgana bolting awake screaming. Morning comes and Merlin is still alive. He rushes out of his room.
MERLIN: Gaius! I'm alive! Gaius is crouching over a collapsed figure on the floor.
MERLIN: What is it? What's happened?
GAIUS: Merlin, stay there!
MERLIN: What's wrong?
GAIUS: No, don't! Merlin walks over to see Hunith, covered in sores, struggling to breathe on the floor.
MERLIN: Mother!
HUNITH: Merlin.
MERLIN: What's happened to her?
GAIUS: She's gravely ill.
MERLIN: Do something!
GAIUS: If I could.
MERLIN: Please, Gaius!
GAIUS: Merlin, this is no ordinary illness.
MERLIN: This cannot happen.
GAIUS: Who did you meet at the Isle of the Blessed?
MERLIN: Nimueh.
GAIUS: Nimueh?!
MERLIN: It was as you said. She demanded a price, but I bargained my life, not my mothers.
GAIUS: Merlin. I wish there was something I could do.
MERLIN: I will make you better. I will. Dragon's Cave
MERLIN: You knew this would happen! You had me trade my mother's life for Arthur's!
KILGHARRAH: You said you would do anything.
MERLIN: Did you know my mother would die?
KILGHARRAH: I knew the price would be a heavy one.
MERLIN: But you sent me anyway.
KILGHARRAH: We need Arthur to live.
MERLIN: I'm not one of you!
KILGHARRAH: We are both creatures of the Old Religion. It is the source of your power.
MERLIN: What's that supposed to mean?
KILGHARRAH: Your destiny is to protect the young Pendragon until he claims his crown. And when he does, magic can be returned to the realm. Only then will I be free.
MERLIN: Oh. So that's all you cared about? I thought you were my friend.
KILGHARRAH: I am more than that, Merlin. I am your kin.
MERLIN: No. The only family I have is my mother, and you had me murder her.
KILGHARRAH: Her life has not been taken in vain. We will achieve great things together, you and I.
MERLIN: You will never be released! For what you've done, I'll make sure you never see the light.
KILGHARRAH: Merlin! The Great Dragon breathes fire at him.
MERLIN: Gescildan! Merlin blocks the flames.
MERLIN: You won't see me again. Gaius's Chambers Merlin returns.
MERLIN: Where is she?
GAIUS: She's sleeping.
MERLIN: I have to save her.
GAIUS: You cannot.
MERLIN: If the balance of the world needs a life, then Nimueh must take mine.
GAIUS: No, Merlin.
MERLIN: Yes. I will return to the island.
GAIUS: You are young. Your gifts, your destiny are far too precious to sacrifice.
MERLIN: My destiny? This is my mother. My powers mean nothing if I cannot save her. You have taught me so much. Taught me who I am. Taught me the purpose for my skills. Taught me that magic should only be used for great deeds. But most of all, you have always taught me to do what is right.
GAIUS: Merlin.
MERLIN (sniffle): I need to say goodbye to Arthur. Arthur's Chambers Merlin enters as Arthur is pouring himself a drink, his other arm in a sling.
ARTHUR: Ah, Merlin.
MERLIN: How are you?
ARTHUR: Good.
MERLIN: I'm pleased.
ARTHUR: Yes. I owe it all to Gaius.
MERLIN: I need to talk to you.
ARTHUR: You still haven't got it yet, have you? I decide when we need to talk.
MERLIN: Not today.
ARTHUR: I sometimes wonder if you know who I am.
MERLIN: Oh, I know who you are.
ARTHUR: Good.
MERLIN: You're a prat. And a royal one.
ARTHUR (chuckle): Are you ever going to change, Merlin?
MERLIN: No, you'd get bored. But promise me this, if you get another servant, don't get a bootlicker.
ARTHUR: If this is you trying to leave your job...
MERLIN: No. I'm happy to be your servant. Till the day I die.
ARTHUR: Sometimes I think I know you, Merlin. Other times... *shakes head*
MERLIN: Well, I know you. And you're a great warrior. One day, you'll be a great king.
ARTHUR: That's very kind of you.
MERLIN: But you must learn to listen as well as you fight.
ARTHUR: Any other pointers?
MERLIN: No. That's it. Just...don't be a prat. Merlin's Chamber Merlin enters his chamber where Gwen is sitting by Hunith's bedside.
GWEN: Gaius had to go and get some supplies. He asked me to keep an eye on her until you got back.
MERLIN: Thank you.
GWEN: I'm sorry.
MERLIN: No, she'll get better.
GWEN: I've tried to make her feel comfortable.
MERLIN: You have such a good heart, Gwen. Don't ever lose that. Gwen leaves and Merlin goes to sit with his mother.
MERLIN: I'm going to make you well again. I promise. You'll see.
HUNITH: You're such a good son.
MERLIN: But I don't want you to worry about me. I know that the gods will look after me, and that one day I will see you again.
HUNITH: I will miss you.
MERLIN: I will miss you, too. Merlin takes out the rabbit's foot and gives it to his mother. Gaius's Chambers Merlin comes out of his room and begins packing for his trip the next morning.
MERLIN: Gaius? Merlin finds a note with his name on it. Merlin reads it while Gaius travels to the Isle of the Blessed.
GAIUS (voiceover): Dear Merlin, My life is already near to its end. There has, for the most part, been very little purpose to it, very little that will be remembered. In contrast, Merlin, your life is destined for greatness. Live by the tenets I have taught you, and I believe you will, in time, become the greatest warlock ever. To have known you has been my greatest pleasure, and to sacrifice myself for you is but an honour. You are and always will be the son I never had.
MERLIN: No! Merlin rides out of Camelot. Isle Of The Blessed Gaius steps out of the boat onto the island.
NIMUEH: I never thought I'd see you here again.
GAIUS: My Lady.
NIMUEH: It's a long time since you called me that.
GAIUS: I come to ask for your help.
NIMUEH: As you did once before for Uther? You did not like the outcome.
GAIUS: I offer a chance for you to atone for the death of his wife.
NIMUEH: I have saved the life of her son. What more do you ask for?
GAIUS: That this time, you take a just price. Merlin intends to offer his life for his mother's. I want you to take mine in his place.
NIMUEH (laughs): With all my powers of prediction, I could never have foretold this. Gaius the hero. Why should I grant your wish? You stood and watched as our friends burned in the Great Purge. You are nothing but a traitor.
GAIUS: Merlin is the one man who can bring magic back to this land. At Arthur's side, he can help forge a new kingdom. A world of peace and beauty that we can only dream of.
NIMUEH: And you're willing to give your life, Gaius, for the future they will bring? I'm waiting. Are you ready to die, Gaius? Gaius?
GAIUS: For Merlin I will give my life. Merlin approaches edge of the lake of the Isle of the Blessed, he can hear Nimueh.
NIMUEH: Ic, séo héahsácerd, þe ácwile strengþe ealdan æwfæstnesse! Merlin rushes onto the island.
MERLIN: Stop!
NIMUEH: Back again so soon, warlock?
MERLIN: What have you done?
NIMUEH: Your mother is safe. Isn't that what you wanted?
MERLIN: Have you killed him?
NIMUEH: It was his wish.
MERLIN: I bid my life for Arthur's, not my mother's, not Gaius's!
NIMUEH: The Old Religion does not care who lives and who dies! Only that the balance of the world is restored. To save a life, a life must be taken. Gaius knew this.
MERLIN: It is not the Old Religion that has done this. It is you.
NIMUEH: Come now. We are too valuable to each other to be enemies.
MERLIN: No! I share nothing with you!
NIMUEH: With my help, Arthur will become King.
MERLIN: I will make Arthur King. But you will never see that day. Ástríce! Nimueh absorbs his attack.
NIMUEH: Your childish tricks are useless against me, Merlin. I am a priestess of the Old Religion. Forbærne! You, too, are a creature of the Old Religion. You should join me.
MERLIN: You think I would join forces with such a selfish and cruel magic? Never.
NIMUEH: So be it. Ácwele! The spell hits Merlin.
NIMUEH: Pity. Together we could've ruled the world. Nimueh walks away. Merlin gets up and glares at her.
MERLIN: You should not have killed my friend. Merlin uses the power from the clouds to strike Nimueh down. Merlin runs to Gaius.
MERLIN: Gaius! Gaius! Merlin cradles unconscious Gaius.
MERLIN: No! No! *cries*
GAIUS: Merlin.
MERLIN: Gaius. Gaius. Gaius, you're alive!
GAIUS: What did you do?
MERLIN: Nimueh's dead. The balance of the world has been restored.
GAIUS: You amaze me. You've mastered the power of life and death itself. We'll make a great warlock of you yet.
MERLIN: So you believe in me now?
GAIUS: Well, I would do if...if you could stop this blasted rain. They laugh.
KILGHARRAH: Merlin! No! *roar* Morgana wakes from a nightmare.
