TEXT: THE KING'S DEMONS BY: TERENCE DUDLEY Part Two First Air Date: 16 March 1983 Running time: 24:27 [SCENE_BREAK] DOCTOR: Not at all. You may disguise your features, but you can never disguise your intent. MASTER: And you can't approve. DOCTOR: You know I can't. TEGAN: Tissue compression eliminator. MASTER: You've always been my greatest stimulation, my dear Doctor, but now you inspire me. MASTER: Your first slip, my dear Doctor. Would you care to make a second? MASTER: And now a third. This is useless in your hands. You have moral scruples. JOHN: Come, what is this discourse? Consummate the victory. MASTER: Come, kill me. Thwart my little game. JOHN: Kill him. DOCTOR: It is sufficient, your Majesty, that your Champion is disarmed. JOHN: Not for us. In sooth, this is but a puny demon that has no stomach for it. So be it. Let the Maiden embrace the vanquished. MASTER: Your Majesty, no! Have mercy! I beg you, no! DOCTOR: Sire, I must intercede. As victor, I beg you to be merciful. JOHN: We are not merciful, our demon. DOCTOR: Your Majesty! JOHN: Hold! We give you the choice, our demon. The Maiden shall embrace this snivelling wretch, or Sir Geoffrey. Choose, our demon. Come, the lady waits, impatient to lavish her warm favours. Come, our demon. JOHN: Behold, our demon. We too have tricks. [SCENE_BREAK] MASTER: Come, my toy, perform. [SCENE_BREAK] TEGAN: What's the Master up to? DOCTOR: He's using that imposter to bring the real King John into disrepute. And now he thinks he's trapped us into doing his dirty work for him. RANULF: He is not the King.
