TEXT: Recap of 304 "Daleks in Manhattan". OPENING CREDITS DALEK SEC: These... humans will become like me. The Doctor slips unnoticed behind some machinery. DALEK SEC: Prepare them for hybridisation. The pig slaves close in on Martha, Frank and the other prisoners. MARTHA: Leave me alone! Don't you dare! "Happy Days are Here Again" begins playing and everyone stops, wondering where it's coming from. DALEK SEC: What is that sound? The Doctor steps out, a radio in his hands. DOCTOR: That would be me. (Sets radio down). Hello. Surprise. Boo. Et cetera. DALEK SEC: Doctor. DALEK 1: The enemy of the Daleks. DALEK 2: Exterminate. DALEK SEC: Wait. DOCTOR: Well, then. A new form of Dalek. (Walks forward). Fascinating and very clever. DALEK SEC: The Cult of Skaro escaped your slaughter. DOCTOR: How did you end up in 1930? DALEK SEC: Emergency Temporal Shift. DOCTOR (scoffs): Oh, that must have roasted up your power cells, yeah? (Strides away, looking about). Time was, four Daleks could have conquered the world but instead your skulking away, hidden in the dark, experimenting. (Deep breath). All of which results in you. DALEK SEC: I am Dalek in human form. DOCTOR: What does it feel like? You can talk to me, Dalek Sec. It is Dalek Sec, isn't it? That's your name? You've got a name and a mind of your own. Tell me what you're thinking right now. DALEK SEC: I... feel... humanity. DOCTOR: Good. That's good. DALEK SEC: I... feel... everything we wanted from mankind, which is ambition, hatred, aggression and war. Such... a genius for war. DOCTOR: No, that's not what humanity means. DALEK SEC: I
SUMMARY:
The Doctor frees a party of kidnapped humans including Martha from the Daleks' laboratory. The Daleks plan to implant mind-wiped humans with Dalek ideas and Dalek DNA to create a new stage of Dalek evolution, powered by a strike of gamma radiation conducted by the Empire State Building . Sec hopes to give emotions to this new race of Dalek humans after emotions were originally removed from the Daleks. The other Daleks betray and murder Sec, as this action would no longer make Daleks "supreme". The Doctor interferes with the gamma strike on the Empire State Building's mast, adding Time Lord DNA to the awakened Dalek human army controlled by Dalek Caan. The Dalek humans betray and kill two of the remaining Daleks, and Caan destroys the army and escapes from the Doctor.
