TEXT: TERMINUS BY: STEPHEN GALLAGHER Part Two First Air Date: 16 February 1983 Running time: 24:40 [SCENE_BREAK] NYSSA: Lazars? DOCTOR: Whatever you do, don't let them touch you. DOCTOR: No! That would be mass slaughter. KARI: I thought they were going to attack us. DOCTOR: Look at them. I doubt if they can feed themselves, let alone fight. NYSSA: What about Olvir? KARI: He ran. Leave him. DOCTOR: No. I rather think he's got a lot to tell us. [SCENE_BREAK] TURLOUGH: It's stuck. TEGAN: It can't be. TURLOUGH: It's those things walking over the grating. TEGAN: There must be another way out. TEGAN: This place is a death trap. [SCENE_BREAK] KARI: What are the lazars doing here? DOCTOR: Dying. Some cargo you came to steal. NYSSA: Why did you choose this ship? KARI: It was a big liner from a rich sector. It looked like the perfect target, so we thought. DOCTOR: Indeed. DOCTOR: Now, what about Terminus? We must find Olvir. NYSSA: We could try the computer. [SCENE_BREAK] TURLOUGH: Is there any way through? TEGAN: Solid. TURLOUGH: We'll have to go back. TEGAN: Wait. There's a ladder. This way. [SCENE_BREAK] KARI: Hurry, Doctor. I want to get off this ship as soon as possible. DOCTOR: In a moment. Can you see any more computer blocks? NYSSA: I'll look. KARI: What precisely are you looking for? DOCTOR: Information about Terminus. There must be something here, the liner's just docked with it. NYSSA: Olvir? [SCENE_BREAK] GUARDIAN (OOV.): The Doctor still lives. You know the rewards for success. I have other rewards for your failure. TEGAN (
SUMMARY:
The two people the Doctor meets who have broken into the ship realize that they are on Terminus, where people who have the Lazar disease are sent to die. The Doctor finds it strange that the ship is at the exact center of the universe.
