First Air Date: 6 January 1984
Running time: 24:04
[SCENE_BREAK]
BULIC: After them!
[SCENE_BREAK]
TURLOUGH: Right, that should slow them down a bit.
TEGAN: We should have tried to help him.
TURLOUGH: We couldn't! Come on, let's get back to the TARDIS.
[SCENE_BREAK]
BULIC: Go round and get this door open.
GUARD: Sir.
BULIC: Commander, this is Bulic. I'm in the reactor.
[SCENE_BREAK]
SCIBUS: The warriors have survived.
[SCENE_BREAK]
NILSON: Nilson.
VORSHAK (OOV.): The three invaders have attacked the reactor in area E. I need you on the bridge at once.
NILSON: I'm on my way, Commander.
SOLOW: Nilson, who are the invaders?
NILSON: I don't know, but with Vorshak distracted, it may be possible to activate Maddox sooner than we expected.
[SCENE_BREAK]
SCIBUS: There will be a short period of orientation.
ICHTAR: Excellent. When all is ready, I will instruct Sauvix and his Sea Devil warriors on the plan of attack.
[SCENE_BREAK]
TURLOUGH: Run!
TURLOUGH: Go, Tegan! Save yourself!
DOCTOR: You'll live.
[SCENE_BREAK]
SAUVIX: Sauvix, Commander of Elite Group One.
ICHTAR: Ichtar, sole survivor of the Silurian Triad, and my companions Scibus and Tarpok. We welcome the revival of our blood-related comrades.
SAUVIX: We are yours to command.
ICHTAR: All is prepared.
[SCENE_BREAK]
DOCTOR: What have you been eating?
[SCENE_BREAK]
NILSON: Have you found the intruders?
VORSHAK: One of them. He's being brought up now. I'd like you to be present at the interrogation.
NILSON: How did they breach our security?
VORSHAK: That's what I want you to find out.
[SCENE_BREAK]
TEGAN: Doctor, I thought you were dead.
DOCTOR: Yeah, so did I for a moment. Where's Turlough?
TEGAN: The guards caught him. We've got to help him.
DOCTOR: Yes, all right. First I must get you back to the TARDIS.
TEGAN: I want to help find Turlough.
DOCTOR: Yes, all right.
TEGAN: What have you been eating?
DOCTOR: Come along, Tegan.
[SCENE_BREAK]
ICHTAR: How soon will your warriors be ready for combat?
SAUVIX: Battle orientation automatically commenced the instant we were revived.
ICHTAR: Excellent, Sauvix.
TARPOK: Your plan of attack.
ICHTAR: Study it well, for the ape primitive base must be taken intact.
[SCENE_BREAK]
VORSHAK: Bridge.
GUARD (OOV.): The reactor's been stabilised, sir. We now have full power again.
VORSHAK: Thank you.
GUARD: Sir.
BULIC: This is Commander Vorshak, the senior officer on this base.
TURLOUGH: I've told
VORSHAK: Now listen, and listen carefully. You have a choice. Cooperate, tell us all you know, and you'll be treated honourably.
TURLOUGH: I am
VORSHAK: But should you remain stubborn, it'll be a long and painful business, so start talking.
TURLOUGH: I've told him, and now I'm trying to tell you. We are not enemy agents, saboteurs
NILSON: Then why were you attempting to destroy the reactor?
TURLOUGH: If the Doctor had intended to destroy it, it would be lying in pieces at your feet.
[SCENE_BREAK]
DOCTOR: Good. Now, you must stay outside, Tegan.
TEGAN: Why?
DOCTOR: Shush.
TEGAN: What in the world can I hope to achieve out here?
DOCTOR: My peace of mind. Please, Tegan, don't argue. Now, I don't need to tell you what to do should anything go wrong.
TEGAN: No, Doctor. Good luck, Doctor.
DOCTOR: Yes, thank you.
[SCENE_BREAK]
TURLOUGH: The TARDIS, it, it's a kind of ship. I know it doesn't seem to make much sense, but that's how we got here.
NILSON: He's insulting our intelligence, trying to convince us he's nothing more than a lost tourist.
BULIC: If you'd nothing to hide, why didn't you declare yourselves to us immediately.
TURLOUGH: We were trying to.
VORSHAK: What do you think?
NILSON: He may be telling the truth, though I doubt it. But we can't be sure without delving deeper into his mind.
VORSHAK: Then see to it, Nilson.
NILSON: Take him to the PS unit.
TURLOUGH: Doctor!
DOCTOR: I wouldn't, if I were you. Well, gentlemen, it seems we have a problem.
[SCENE_BREAK]
PRESTON: Good heavens. Look, there's another door. Search through there.
[SCENE_BREAK]
BULIC: Your move, Doctor.
DOCTOR: So it seems. Perhaps it's time for a little mutual trust.
DOCTOR: Turlough was telling the truth.
VORSHAK: Bridge.
PRESTON (OOV.): We've found the intruder's craft. It's amazing. It isn't of this planet.
VORSHAK: Is it armed?
PRESTON (OOV.): Not that we can tell.
VORSHAK: Well, leave a guard on it. Return to the bridge.
DOCTOR: Well, Commander?
VORSHAK: Well, it seems the boy was telling the truth after all.
[SCENE_BREAK]
SAUVIX: The warriors are armed and at their stations.
ICHTAR: Excellent, Sauvix. It is time to begin.
[SCENE_BREAK]
PRESTON: You want something?
[SCENE_BREAK]
VORSHAK: All right, I believe you're not hostile.
DOCTOR: Thank you.
VORSHAK: But that doesn't mean I trust you. I should like to see a demonstration of your ship.
DOCTOR: When I've repaired her.
PRESTON: Commander, the third member of the crew. I found her lurking outside.
TURLOUGH: Are you all right?
KARINA: Commander, the screen.
KARINA: It's heading towards the base.
VORSHAK: Is that the thing we picked up before?
KARINA: Yes, sir.
MADDOX: We're getting a clear sensor scan. It is a ship of some kind, but definitely not one of ours.
VORSHAK: Prepare to fire energy tracers.
DOCTOR: No, don't!
VORSHAK: You recognise it?
DOCTOR: Yes. You mustn't attack.
VORSHAK: You're hardly in a position to give orders, Doctor.
BULIC: Ready to fire, Commander.
DOCTOR: Do so and you'll regret it. I know what that ship is.
VORSHAK: You're telling us not to defend ourselves?
DOCTOR: I'm telling you you have no defence. That's a Silurian battle cruiser.
PRESTON: Silurian?
DOCTOR: The race that ruled this planet long before your species evolved.
BULIC: Do we fire, sir?
DOCTOR: Trust me. You must try and make contact with it, find out what they want.
VORSHAK: It's not what they want, it's what I want, Doctor. And I want to keep them away. Open fire.
[SCENE_BREAK]
TARPOK: The deflector is locked on to their energy beam. Their external weapons system is now suppressed.
ICHTAR: Proceed as planned.
[SCENE_BREAK]
VORSHAK: Fire again. Fire again!
BULIC: Energy systems are dead.
VORSHAK: You knew that would happen.
DOCTOR: I did try and warn you.
PRESTON: What have they done?
DOCTOR: It's a particle suppressor. They turned your energy beam back on you. They could have blown this base apart. They certainly have enough reason to.
[SCENE_BREAK]
TARPOK: We are in position.
ICHTAR: Release the Myrka. Sauvix, proceed to your station. When the Myrka begins its work, you and your warriors commence the attack on the main entry point.
[SCENE_BREAK]
VORSHAK: I want damage reports as soon as possible. Maddox, set the computer to analyse the Silurian weapon.
MADDOX: Sir.
TEGAN: When did you meet the Silurians, Doctor?
DOCTOR: A long time ago. I let them down then, it seems I'll do so again.
TEGAN: Are they hostile?
DOCTOR: They're honourable. All they ever wanted to do was live in peace.
MADDOX: It doesn't compute, sir.
DOCTOR: Commander.
VORSHAK: Yes, what is it?
DOCTOR: You can't fight them.
VORSHAK: I can try.
DOCTOR: Inform your people. Let them know what's going on down here.
VORSHAK: I can't do that. I must maintain radio silence. I can't risk revealing the Sea Base's position to the enemy.
DOCTOR: Friend or enemy, it's a distinction that's lost on the Silurians, I assure you. To them you're all the same. Ape-descended primitives. An evolutionary error they obviously mean to correct.
VORSHAK: Bridge.
GUARD (OOV.): Commander, there's something outside airlock one. It's trying to force the outer door.
VORSHAK: Stay there. Get a team down there. Preston, deploy the duty guards to cover all the other airlocks.
PRESTON: Yes, Commander.
DOCTOR: Let me go with them. I know the Silurians. If I can talk to them, we may be able to avoid bloodshed.
VORSHAK: You can try, but remember we have no reason to trust you. Watch him. The first sign of treachery, kill him.
[SCENE_BREAK]
PRESTON: Any sign of entry?
GUARD: No, ma'am.
[SCENE_BREAK]
BULIC: Any change?
GUARD: No, sir.
BULIC: The magnetic locks on the outer door are blown. They're in the airlock.
TEGAN: How can you tell?
BULIC: The automatic pumps have started up.
[SCENE_BREAK]
VORSHAK: Bridge.
PRESTON (OOV.): Airlock five is also under attack, Commander.
VORSHAK: I'll come down at once. Karina, put the reserve team on combat alert. Maddox, stand by for sync up. We may have to contact Sea Base Command after all.
NILSON: But Commander, if we do
VORSHAK: The Doctor may be right. If he is, these creatures are a threat to all mankind.
SOLOW: Nilson, we must speak.
SOLOW: The base is on war alert.
NILSON: It's all right. While Vorshak is busy, I'm in command of the bridge.
SOLOW: Are we going to activate Maddox?
NILSON: Yes.
SOLOW: What about the Silurians? What if they manage to break in?
NILSON: We shall neutralise the Sea Base whatever happens, and with the help of Maddox we'll destroy all vital circuitry to do with missiles and communications.
[SCENE_BREAK]
BULIC: Take up defensive positions.
TURLOUGH: Will it hold?
BULIC: I wouldn't count on it.
[SCENE_BREAK]
KARINA: Are you all right? Maddox. Maddox.
NILSON: Doctor Solow will take care of Maddox.
KARINA: But he's needed here.
NILSON: I'm afraid in his present state he's useless.
KARINA: Shall I inform the Commander?
NILSON: No, no, no, no. I'll do that. You just return to your duties. I'm sure Doctor Solow will have Maddox back at his terminal as soon as possible.
[SCENE_BREAK]
TEGAN: What if these Silurians don't want to listen, Doctor?
DOCTOR: Look on the bright side, Tegan.
DOCTOR: Oh dear.
TEGAN: What is it?
DOCTOR: The Myrka.
[SCENE_BREAK]
VORSHAK: Well?
PRESTON: Commander, they're inside the airlock.
VORSHAK: That didn't take long.
[SCENE_BREAK]
KARINA: What are you doing here?
SOLOW: His duty, as I dictate it.
KARINA: Sabotage. Maddox, stop it! Maddox, can you hear me? Stop it!
KARINA: No!
NILSON: Now kill her, Maddox.
[SCENE_BREAK]
BULIC: Take aim.
DOCTOR: I'm afraid the Myrka takes quite a lot to impress.
BULIC: Fire!
BULIC: We hit it.
TEGAN: He must have killed it.
DOCTOR: Tegan!
BULIC: Fire again.
DOCTOR: Are you all right?
TEGAN: How would you feel if you'd had a door fall on you?
DOCTOR: Anything damaged?
TEGAN: My dignity.
DOCTOR: Turlough, help me!
TURLOUGH: It's no good, we can't lift it.
DOCTOR: Keep back. Don't let it touch you.
DOCTOR: Bulic, get your people out of here!
BULIC: Clear the airlock!
DOCTOR: You too, Turlough.
TURLOUGH: But Tegan
DOCTOR: Get out!
TEGAN: You go as well, Doctor.
DOCTOR: I'm not leaving you.
TEGAN: There's no point in us both dying.
DOCTOR: Who's talking about dying?
[SCENE_BREAK]
BULIC: The creature's in, sir, and our weapons are useless against it.
VORSHAK (OOV.): Use grenades.
BULIC: The Doctor and the girl are trapped in the airlock.
VORSHAK (OOV.): Has the creature passed the bulkhead door?
BULIC: No, sir.
VORSHAK (OOV.): Then close it! Seal the bulkhead off immediately.
TURLOUGH: No!
VORSHAK (OOV.): What do you mean, no? Do it! The safety of the Base depends on it.
TURLOUGH: No, wait.
[SCENE_BREAK]
DOCTOR: One last try.
DOCTOR: Thank you so much.
TEGAN: They've sealed us up!
DOCTOR: Brave heart, Tegan.
TEGAN: Brave heart? That thing's going to kill us.
Plan: A: a tentative trust; Q: What is the Doctor starting to gain from the humans of the underwater military base? A: an unknown cruiser; Q: What does the doctor recognize and warn the humans not to fire upon? A: the Doctor; Q: Who warns the humans not to fire on the unknown cruiser? Summary: Just as the doctor is starting to gain a tentative trust from the humans of the underwater military base, an unknown cruiser appears and the Doctor seems to recognize it and warns the humans not to fire upon it.
