TEXT: THE FACE OF EVIL BY: CHRIS BOUCHER Part One Running time: 24:58 [SCENE_BREAK] CALIB: You are the leader, Andor. It is for you to decide. But there can be but one punishment for such a heresy. Banishment. ANDOR: What say you, Sole? SOLE: (old man) You know you should not ask. ANDOR: Then it is agreed. You must be sent beyond. TOMAS: No! She's young, she spoke rashly. LEELA: Don't beg, Tomas. What I said was the truth. NEEVA: What she said profaned the holy purpose of the tribe of Sevateem. LEELA: Holy purpose? To die in another useless attack? NEEVA: The great god Xoanon demands that she be cast out. He told me this. LEELA: Liar! There is no Xoanon. NEEVA: Blasphemy! ANDOR: Leela, will you take the test of the Horda? ANDOR: Will any take it for her? SOLE: I will. LEELA: No. You'll be killed too. SOLE: Be silent, daughter. You have said enough. ANDOR: Test him. LEELA: Andor, please, call them back. What I said, I was wrong. Forgive me, please. Neeva, greatest shaman, Speaker of Law, forgive me, please. ANDOR: Be silent, girl. Your father was a warrior. Do not shame him. ANDOR: Outcast of the tribe of Sevateem, be gone from us. NEEVA: Spawn of the evil one, return to your master. ANDOR: You have until sunrise. If you are still within the boundary then, you must be thrown to the Horda. [SCENE_BREAK] DOCTOR: I think this is not Hyde Park. Could be a nexial discontinuity. Must remember to overhaul those tracers. Put a knot in my hanky. DOCTOR: I wonder what that was for. Little look round, Doctor? Why not. LEELA
SUMMARY:
On a nameless planet in the far future where invisible monsters prowl, the Doctor befriends a warrior woman named Leela, recently banished from her tribe, the Sevateem. She and everyone recognize the Doctor immediately. He is the Evil One who, in their mythology, holds their god Xoanon prisoner and must be destroyed.
