"(DOCTOR WHO THEME)" "(BEEPING)" "DOCTOR:" "Well, that's it, then." "Come on, we've landed." "Oh, hadn't we better wake our cellmate?" "(CHUCKLING) He's awake already." "He's just trying to show us how unconcerned he is." "(MASTER LAUGHING)" "How well you know me, Doctor!" "Now, come on, smarten yourselves up." "We want to look our best for a royal audience, you know." "He's very confident." "Well, Miss Grant, as an Earth poet once said," ""My strength is as the strength of ten, because my heart is pure."" "Come on, you fellows, let me out." "Your Emperor is waiting to see me." "So, Father, once more Earthmen have invaded our space." "You will address the Emperor in a proper manner." "Your pardon." "May I have permission to address the Emperor?" "My life at your command." "One day, my Son, you will inherit this throne." "Then you will realise the importance of due formality." "Now, what do you wish to say?" "Surely, now you will declare war upon the Earthmen?" "Let me lead your battle fleets to crush their..." "They too, have battle fleets, my Son." "Such a war could well bring down both empires." "Not if we strike first, then we shall be the victors!" "In such a war, there are no victors." "The nobles of the court are demanding action." "They fear for the honour of Draconia." "I am the emperor!" "The honour of Draconia is vested in me." "The throne depends upon the great families for support." "Emperors have been deposed before now." "An emperor who does not rule deposes himself!" "Then what will you do, Father?" "I shall question these Earthmen myself." "I have already sent for them." "Why waste time listening to their lies?" "Majesty, I bring the prisoners." "May I have permission to address the Emperor?" "Wait!" "This is an insult!" "My life at your command, sire." "How dare you address the Emperor in a manner reserved for a noble of Draconia?" "Ah, but I am a noble of Draconia." "The honour was conferred on me by the 15th Emperor." "The 15th Emperor reigned 500 years ago." "(LAUGHING)" "Your Majesty, do not be taken in by this ridiculous story..." "Be silent!" "There is a legend among our people of a man who assisted the 15th Emperor at a time of great trouble when we were almost overwhelmed by a great plague from outer space." "But you could not be that man." "No Earthman lives so long." "Your Majesty, this man that you speak of, was he not known as the Doctor?" "And did he not come to this planet in a spaceship called the TARDIS?" "He did." "Well, I am that man, sire." "And I come from a race of people that live far longer than any Earthman." "Even if I accept your claim, you have broken our law." "Why did you violate Draconian space?" "Your Majesty, this man was, and still is, my prisoner." "It is true, Your Majesty." "I did come here as a prisoner, but I came willingly, in order to inform you that this man is plotting a war between Earth and Draconia!" "All Earthmen are determined upon war." "Ah, but the Master is not an Earthman." "I'm sorry to have to admit it, but he's a renegade of my own race and he's using creatures called Ogrons to attack your spaceships and those of the Earthmen." "The Earthmen who attacked our spaceships, they have been seen many times." "I'm sorry, but there you are in error, sir." "Your people have seen Ogrons, but they appear to them as Earthmen because of a hypnotic device." "It's true, Your Majesty." "When the Ogrons attacked the Earth ships, the Earthmen saw them as Draconians." "Silence!" "Females are not permitted to speak in the presence of the Emperor." "Your Majesty, do not be deceived by the pathetic ravings of two criminals trying to evade justice." "If what you say is true, it would explain much." "We lived at peace with the Earthmen for many years, then suddenly they began to raid our spaceships." "When we protested, they said that we were attacking them." "In order to cover up their own attacks!" "This is simply a plot of the Earthmen to lull us into false security." "Speak!" "Your Majesty, a spaceship from Earth seeks permission to land in the palace spaceport." "They say they're on a special mission from the President of Earth." "This is a trick!" "You must not allow them to land!" "We are not yet at war with Earth." "I shall hear what their president has to say." "I give my permission." "Your Majesty." "A wise decision, Your Majesty." "For only by Earth and Draconia working together can we hope to arrive at the truth." "I, too, welcome your wisdom, Your Majesty." "Nobody could be more devoted to the cause of peace than I." "As a commissioner of Earth's Interplanetary Police," "I have devoted my life to the cause of law and order." "And law and order can only exist in a time of peace." "You feeling all right, old chap?" "Only during a period of social stability, can society adequately deal with criminals such as this man and this unfortunate girl." "(HYPNOTIC PULSE SOUNDING)" "Doctor, listen!" "That sound!" "PRINCE:" "Silence, female!" "Quiet!" "It's the same noise that I heard on the cargo ship." "Doctor, it's the Ogrons!" "Your Majesty, I beg of you to be cautious." "Something is seriously wrong here." "This ship that has just landed," "I beg you, place it under guard immediately." "Your Majesty, please?" "DRACONIAN: (SHOUTING) Earthmen!" "MASTER:" "Seize them, fool!" "(ALL GRUNTING)" "Ah, you idiots!" "Back to the ship, all of you!" "Come on, back to the ship!" "Now will you believe in the treachery of the Earthmen?" "Your Majesty, look down here and tell me, what do you see?" "(HYPNOTIC PULSE SOUNDING)" "I see one of your Earth soldiers who attacked my palace and killed my people." "Jo?" "Jo, can you still hear that sound?" "(HYPNOTIC PULSE FADING)" "Yes, it's fading." "It's almost gone." "Your Majesty, I beg of you, please." "Look again." "Why do we delay?" "Destroy him!" "Wait!" "He has spoken the truth." "Great, lumbering idiots!" "Now you tell me that you've left one of your fellows in the palace!" "Do you realise what this means?" "As soon as the effect of the hypno-sound wears off, the Draconians will know who it really was who attacked them." "You've ruined everything!" "What shall we do now?" "Do?" "There's only one thing we can do." "Make sure that the Doctor and his evidence is never allowed to reach Earth." "Why does the Master want war between Earth and Draconia?" "Did you attack our spaceships and those of the Earthmen?" "Oh, it's no good." "We're not getting anywhere." "Let me take him for questioning." "He will answer to me." "I shall use the mind probe." "You'd only be wasting your time." "The Ogrons have got the finest defence mechanism of all, stupidity." "They haven't got a mind for you to probe." "Then remove him." "We will deal with him later." "Why did that sound make us see this creature as a soldier from Earth?" "Because you're frightened of Earthmen." "Draconians fear nothing, female." "Well, of course you do." "You fear them and they fear you." "That's why when Earthmen heard that sound, they saw Draconians." "That is true." "We do fear the Earthmen and they fear us." "And fear breeds hatred, Your Majesty." "Fear is the greatest enemy of them all, for fear leads us to war." "We shall tell the Earthmen what has happened here." "They, too, must know the truth." "They will not believe us." "The Prince is right, Your Majesty." "We must mount an expedition at once and we must take the Ogron as evidence." "The empires are on the verge of war." "A Draconian spaceship in Earth space could be destroyed before it reaches its destination." "We could use the ship the Master brought us in." "It's an Earth police spaceship." "Females are not permitted to speak..." "The female may speak." "But..." "We must respect the customs of our guests, strange though they may be." "The suggestion had merit." "Thank you, Your Majesty." "You too, will go on this mission." "But it must be headed by a Draconian of noble rank." "I shall send my son." "Here you are." "Brought you some food." "And a delicious banana." "I think you're supposed to peel it first." "Oh, well." "Hey, you know, you wanna be very careful of him." "He's not as stupid as he looks." "(SIGHING) I know, I know, women aren't allowed to speak." "You know, I think it's about time that women's lib was brought to Draconia." "Hello, Jo." "How's your Ogron friend?" "Not too happy." "He seemed to enjoy his banana, though." "Doctor, where are we?" "We're just about to cross the frontier into Earth space." "Ooh, that's good." "Unless your Earth people destroy us." "Well, this is an Earth police spaceship, you know, sir." "Even if it is stolen." "What is that?" "DOCTOR:" "It looks like another spaceship." "It appears to be following us." "OGRON:" "Look!" "MASTER:" "Well, that must be them." "No other ship would be on a course for Earth at a time like this." "We are on a course for Earth!" "Well, naturally, because we're chasing them... (SIGHING IN EXASPERATION)" "Keep quiet and let me think!" "Now, soon they'll be within striking distance." "What will you do, Master?" "I'd like to try and take the Doctor alive, if possible." "If not, I'll blast him out of space." "Pity, though." "You do not wish to kill him?" "Of course, I do!" "But I don't know, rocket fire at long range, it's..." "I don't know, somehow it lacks that personal touch." "They're closing in." "Perhaps, it's a frontier patrol ship coming to investigate us." "Well, can't we talk to them and tell them who we are?" "We can try." "We should be within audio range." "Hello, this is Earth police spaceship 2390, on a special mission to the President of Earth." "Do you read me?" "Do you read me?" "Over." "DOCTOR ON RADIO:" "This is Earth police spaceship 2390, on a special mission to the President of Earth." "Do you read me?" "Do you read me?" "Over." "This is Earth police spaceship number 142, your ship is one that has been reported as stolen." "You will please reduce speed, so that we can board you." "Hello, Earth police spaceship 142." "(SOFTLY) I think there'll in trouble over this." "Hello, we've recaptured this ship and are taking it back to Earth." "Over." "MASTER ON RADIO:" "Reduce speed immediately, so that we can board you." "Why should we submit to this delay?" "Our mission has diplomatic immunity." "Yes, but they unfortunately didn't know that, did they?" "Hello, Earth police spaceship, we are reducing speed as you request." "Over." "Doctor, are you sure?" "We don't really know if it's the police." "Yes, exactly." "That's why I want to get them into visual scanner range." "Right, they've reduced speed." "They should be within striking distance now." "That's about it." "Release the first missile!" "DOCTOR:" "We should be picking them up on the visual scanner now." "JO:" "It's an Ogron ship!" "Hold tight!" "I'm taking evasive action." "(JO SQUEALING)" "MASTER:" "Come on, Doctor, keep still, keep still." "That's better." "That's about it." "Right." "Fire!" "They're still after us." "Fire!" "Can we not fire back?" "No." "No, I'm afraid we're outgunned." "This isn't a battle cruiser, you know." "DOCTOR:" "Hang on." "I think we're shaking them off." "(OGRON GRUNTING)" "Doctor!" "He's broken out!" "Get out, Jo!" "MASTER:" "We must have hit them." "They're losing speed." "OGRON:" "Shall I fire again?" "No, no, it might be possible to take the Doctor alive after all." "Muster a boarding party." "Yes, Master." "(OGRON GRUNTING)" "Right, there you are, my friend." "Are you all right?" "JO:" "Oh, no, you don't!" "No, no!" "No, let go of me!" "This way!" "JO:" "Let me go!" "We've been boarded!" "We need the blasters, come on!" "The prisoner?" "Don't worry about him." "He's no use to us at the moment." "JO:" "Let me go!" "No!" "Doctor!" "DOCTOR:" "Get down!" "OGRON:" "The enemy!" "OGRON:" "Fool, go!" "What is happening?" "They should have taken that ship by now!" "(EXCLAIMING) Must I do everything myself?" "Look!" "MASTER:" "An Earth battle cruiser." "You'd better recall the boarding party." "I'll take over here." "As soon as they're back on board, we'll unlock." "Fools!" "JO:" "Help!" "Doctor!" "OGRON:" "You come!" "You must come!" "No!" "Look out!" "We must take the girl!" "No!" "(OGRON GRUNTING)" "JO:" "No!" "OGRON:" "Bring the girl!" "JO:" "Doctor!" "In here!" "MASTER:" "Right." "Unlock!" "(AIR ESCAPING)" "(PANTING)" "We should be all right in a minute." "The ship'll pump in more oxygen." "CAPTAIN ON RADIO:" "This is Earth battle cruiser X29." "Do you read me?" "Identify yourself." "This is Earth battle cruiser X29." "Do you read me?" "Identify yourself." "Hello, this is Earth police spaceship 2390, on a special mission to the President of Earth." "Over." "CAPTAIN:" "Identify the ship that has just unlocked from you." "They refuse to answer our signals." "Look, it's of vital importance that you pursue and capture that ship immediately." "Over." "You are in possession of a stolen police spaceship." "You are under arrest." "Stand by to be boarded." "DOCTOR ON RADIO:" "Look, you don't understand." "The man who stole this ship is escaping in that vessel." "CAPTAIN:" "You are under arrest." "You'll be given the opportunity of making a full statement." "Do not offer any resistance." "Stand by to be boarded." "DOCTOR:" "Oh, very well." "We're standing by." "(LAUGHING)" "Poor Doctor." "Enmeshed in the throes of bureaucracy." "(LAUGHING)" "It'll take him a long time to talk himself out of that one." "But he'll get to see the President, eventually." "She won't believe him." "Oh, yes, she will, when she sees the Ogron prisoner." "He's our evidence." "Your evidence is standing right behind you." "The Draconian Prince knows the truth and he's with the Doctor." "My dear, Miss Grant, in the climate of opinion that I have created, do you think that any Earthman is going to believe the word of a Draconian?" "Your Highness, we've heard the Doctor's theory before." "And, with respect, there is still no concrete evidence." "I myself would like to believe you but, as you can see," "I need proof to convince my people." "Then we must mount an expedition to the planet of the Ogrons." "The proof we need is there, madam." "With Earth on the brink of war, how can we divert our forces into such a pointless expedition?" "Suppose this is yet another Draconian trick to divide our strength?" "My dear chap, I'm not asking for a battle fleet." "All I require is one small spaceship." "Your request is granted." "On the contrary, your request is denied." "My authority..." "WILLIAMS:" "In a purely military matter of this kind, madam, your authority is limited." "I can overrule you." "Only with the backing of the full Earth senate." "And do you think they will give it?" "How can we expect help from a man such as this?" "This is the man who deliberately caused war between our people!" "That is untrue!" "Twenty years ago, you destroyed a Draconian ship that had come in a mission of peace." "A ship that was about to open fire on us when we were damaged and helpless." "They came in peace, as had been arranged." "Then why didn't they answer my signals?" "Their communications equipment had been destroyed in a neutron storm." "The same neutron storm that damaged your ship!" "Is this true?" "I have read the records of my father's court." "It is the truth." "But why a battle cruiser?" "The agreement was that both ships were to be unarmed." "Naturally, we sent a cruiser." "How else should a nobleman of Draconia travel?" "But its missile banks were empty, the ship was unarmed." "Well, very soon we shall be landing." "I think, Miss Grant, you had better prepare yourself for a long stay." "I'm afraid it's not a very comfortable place, but as the old song says," ""Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home."" "Your Highness, please accept my deepest regrets for the wrong I have done your people." "Then, can I take it, sir, that you will now authorise the expedition?" "I intend to lead it." "If the planet of the Ogrons exists, we shall find it." "Be careful down here." "This way." "Right, in there." "Well, Miss Grant, welcome to my humble abode." "I think you were better off in prison." "Oh, temporary quarters, my dear." "I shall soon be changing them for something better." "Oh, you'll soon be back in jail." "When the truth gets out," "Earth and Draconia will combine their forces to attack you." "I don't think so." "There's too much distrust between them." "The Doctor will find you, eventually." "Ah, there I agree with you." "He must find me." "Not only to rescue you, but also to be reunited with his beloved TARDIS." "You know, Miss Grant, I'm going to set a trap for the Doctor." "And you are going to help me." "What?" "No noble speeches to the effect that you'd rather die than betray the Doctor?" "You know I'm not going to help you." "I know that you are." "I know that you will obey me." "You will obey me!" "I am the Master..." ""Mary had a little lamb, his fleece was white as snow," ""and everywhere that Mary went," ""the lamb was sure to go."" "You will obey me..." ""Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall..."" "Stop that, Miss Grant!" "It's a form of self-conditioning." "You fill your mind with nonsense and then you can't be hypnotised." ""See-saw, Margery Daw..." "You will obey me." ""Johnny shall have a new master." ""He shall have but a penny a day..." "You will..." ""Because he can't work any faster..."" "Obey me!" "All right, all right, all right, all right!" "I was never very fond of nursery rhymes anyhow!" "Then you'll just have to give up all hope of hypnotising me, won't you?" "Once was quite enough, thank you." "Hmm." "In that case, I shall have to try something else." "You may have heard this noise before, Miss Grant." "(HYPNOTIC PULSE SOUNDING)" "It works directly on the fear centres deep in your mind!"
