I
thought you said it was finished.
Oh yes, it's finished my dear, but...
Oh come on doctor, we haven't got time for butts.
This is our only hope.
Yes, you realize of course we're taking a terrible chance.
You can save your breath.
We've got to try it.
Very well my boy, pull the main switch.
So
so
the mission has been completed successfully.
With guile and cunning I have been able to repossess the terranium.
Are you certain it is the real core?
Of course, I had it examined before we arrived here.
Sir, it is ready to be fitted to the time destructor.
I hope that the Daleks will not suffer any more setbacks which could upset the plans
for our conquest of the universe.
The final conference of the remaining members of the galactic council awaits you.
I shall go and address them.
Sir, presently.
The task force has disembarked.
Excellent, is the core fitted to the time destructor?
That is being done.
Do we now deal with Mavic Chen?
No.
His arrogance and greed have a further use for us.
Alert the council to attend their final conference.
Well, fortunately there's no damage done to the control panel itself.
But the directional unit?
No, let's use this dear boy, use this.
Take a look for yourself.
What happened?
Well, the unit required a much higher energy rate than we possess.
Then why did it burn out and not the TARDIS controls?
A built-in safety measure, my dear.
You see, the excess energy must have forced itself back into the directional unit.
That means our plans to return to Campbell have failed.
That means that the Daleks can invade the universe and conquer it.
Yes, there's nothing we can do about it.
There must be something we can do, doctor.
You must try to think of some way.
Well, our only chance, my dear, is to try and capture the Munk's time machine or that of the Daleks.
Yes, well, let's get going.
Ah, ch-ch-ch-ch, have patience, dear boy.
It's highly probable they've all left by now.
And I should think there's one or two of those Egyptians around.
Let's take a look on the scanner.
But that's not ancient Egypt.
It's... it's more like Campbell.
Yes, it's vaguely familiar.
Yes, it might be Campbell.
You know, that means that that directional unit must have burnt itself out after...
We dematerialized.
I wonder if you'd bring me that, um, that impulse, uh, compass.
Mm, yeah, sure.
Well now, young lady, perhaps you'll have more faith in me in the future, hm?
I thought something had worked out.
But it was you who said we'd failed!
Oh, nonsense, nonsense, failed, nonsense.
Well, it wasn't me!
Of course it was!
Oh, come on, doctor, you'll have to forgive her.
After all, she hasn't known you very well.
Yes, well, perhaps, perhaps.
Anyway, now we're here, I think we'd better make a plan.
How far do you think we are from the Dalek city?
I've no idea.
Yeah, no, I think we might be able to make it on foot.
Perhaps I'd better go out and take some bathing.
Open the door, dear boy.
Yes.
That man!
He was as much in the dark as we were, and now he has the gall to...
He's very good, you're getting to know him quite well.
Oh, before this is over...
Uh-uh-uh!
Save it for the Daleks.
There has been so much time wasted through the folly of the representative from Earth.
Surely it is only right that on his return he be removed from this council.
But without him there will be no Terranium.
The Daleks have assured us that they will recapture the core of the time destructor.
Then we do not need Mabachan.
Exactly!
We will not need him.
He no longer merits a place on this galactic council.
I call for a censure motion!
Silence!
The final conference is now in session.
Mabachan is now dismissed.
The conference is now in session.
Mabachan, representative from the solar system, will address the meeting.
Fellow delegates, even as you sit here, the great war force assembled under the Daleks
are awaiting the final order to set out and conquer the universe.
Why is Mabachan speaking for the Dalek Supreme?
The final checks are being made and in a very short time that final order will be given.
Why is it that Mabachan is in possession of information denied to the rest of this council?
Though we are all equal partners with the Daleks on this great conquest,
some of us are more equal than others.
The representative speaks out of turn!
No!
My contribution of the M of Terranium is greater than all of yours put together.
You have been dwarfed!
Dwarfed!
This violates the agreement by which this council was assembled!
Arrest him! You are a wretch! Arrest him! Arrest him!
You are nothing! You hear me? Nothing!
Your opposition against your Mabachan, we call the aggression!
Death! Death!
Death!
Before this conference began,
the Dalek Supreme and I spoke together.
This council now is under my power.
I will give the orders.
You will obey them.
You all right?
Yes.
Now this jungle is hardly the place I'd choose for a gentle stroll.
Just be careful of the Vargas.
Vargas?
I haven't seen any Varga blood.
Well, they're all over them.
Come to think of it, neither have I.
I thought the Daleks scattered them all over, Campbell.
Stephen, you're sure we are on, Campbell?
Of course I am. The doctor was certain when he took these...
Where is he?
We have all served the common cause.
All of us.
Indeed we have.
But I, Mavic Chen,
was solely responsible for the recovery of the core of the Time Destructor.
Because of this, I...
naturally precede anyone here.
For without my power, the Daleks cannot succeed.
You do appreciate the point.
There remains one question.
Where is your co-ruler, the Dalek Supreme?
He was...
It is clear that he knows that I can run this council without his aid.
Now, gentlemen,
we come to the main discussion before this meeting.
The apportioning of the government of the universe after the conquest.
All of you will be allowed to oversee your own galaxies.
But all of you will be responsible to the Dalek Supreme and me.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
And me.
This meeting is over.
But it is not yet begun.
There will be no more discussion. All representatives will come with us.
Where can he have got them?
Anywhere you like out there.
This is serious. Perhaps the Daleks have caught him.
Now they will be looking for us.
Look, Stephen, with or without the Doctor, we have to get to the Dalek city
and find a way of putting that place out of action.
That's right, Sarah.
What about the Doctor? He can't just have vanished into thin air.
We have got to find him.
No, not yet.
Mavic Chen will have returned with the Terranium.
That means the Daleks' plans will be ready to go ahead and we have got to stop them.
I understand that.
We can't just leave the Doctor wandering around lost in this jungle.
If I know anything about him, he has already reached the city.
If we go there, we can stop the Daleks and find the Doctor.
That's all right.
The strongest signals are bearing 242.
According to the Doctor, the Dalek city is over there.
Where to now?
I'll take you for the reading.
What exactly is...
So far so good. We are on the right track.
The source of power is still 242.
Would you mind telling me how that thing works?
What, now?
Yes, now.
Look, Sarah, this is no time for a lesson on the power impulse compass.
Supposing something happens to you...
What are you talking about?
I'd have to go ahead and reach the city alone.
Don't you think you ought to show me how it works in case of accident?
Oh, you're so cheerful, aren't you?
The Galactic representatives have been detained as you instructed.
They will be destroyed at the same time as the headquarters...
at the start of the conquest of the planet Earth.
Commence invasion. Come down.
There it is. The take-off area.
Yes.
Are those the Dalek ships?
No, those belong to the other representatives.
What about the Dalek landing area?
There, too, possibly.
But those representative ships will have to take off first to collect their forces for the invasion.
Right. Let's get going.
Just a minute!
Why? We've got to defeat the Daleks.
We've got to try to defeat the Daleks.
If you and I just charge in there, what chance do you think we've got against the greatest war force ever assembled?
Oh, for heaven's sake, we'll go carefully.
Look, Stephen, just because the Doctor isn't here, don't think that you're the only one who can outwit the Daleks.
Look, I don't think that.
Well, as you say, in any case, we'll probably find he's here already.
Come on.
I don't get it.
It's uncanny. I mean, where have the Daleks got to?
It's like a city of the dead.
Let's see if there's any sign of life down here.
They should have been challenged by now.
They haven't come very far yet.
What's that got to do with it?
Well, they're probably making final preparations for the invasion.
Yes, well, they'd still leave guards out here.
Maybe they're not frightened.
Well, they always take some precautions.
All right, you think of an explanation.
Well, look, suppose...
Suppose the Doctor did come here and they have caught him.
Then now they'll be looking for us.
No, possibly not. Not if he said he was alone.
They wouldn't believe it.
Why not? We weren't anywhere around.
Steele, this could all be a trick.
If they have caught the Doctor, then they could be waiting for us.
No.
If they've caught the Doctor, they won't worry about us.
We've got to find him.
This place is empty too.
Then it must be a trap.
Why?
Well, it looks like a control room.
The Daleks wouldn't leave a place like this unguarded.
Yes, that's true.
That means they must have the Doctor if they can be this sure of themselves.
Hey, isn't this their time machine?
Now we can get back to Earth and warn them.
Yes, except that neither of us knows how to work it.
But we could bluff them.
How?
If we could lock ourselves inside that time machine
until they let the Doctor come to us, well, he could work it.
It's worth a try.
Now we've got to contact the Daleks.
Stephen!
Here's the Dalek loudspeaker system.
This is Sarah Kingdom of Space Security.
Send the Doctor to the control room.
I'd better try and get into that time machine.
Hello?
Kingdom?
Where are you?
That's Chen.
He must still be working with them.
Mavic Chen, can you hear me?
Let us speak to the Doctor.
Is this more treachery?
Who are these people?
They are the people who stole the Terranium.
Why have they come back?
I don't know.
You must let me speak to them.
No!
Already you have betrayed us.
This could be another trick.
Mavic Chen, let me speak to the Doctor.
Let's waste time.
They'll be on their way to us by now.
Yes, but if they don't bring the Doctor, the plan's useless.
Listen to me.
Who's that?
It's the Daleks.
Listen to me.
Who's that?
Through the treachery of Chen, we have been imprisoned.
Who are you?
We are the Galactic Council.
Will you release us?
Where are you?
In a detention cell.
Yes, but where?
We do not know.
He's got to find us.
No, wait.
This could all be part of the trick.
No, I don't think so.
Look, if there were any Daleks around, they'd be here by now.
They must have gone.
Maybe the Doctor's with the Council.
Come on.
Mavic Chen, if this is a further trick, we shall destroy you before they can destroy us.
It's not a trick.
Then why have they come back?
If you'd only think that.
Is there no sense in the outer galaxies?
It is clear that they have lost their leader, the one they call the Doctor.
The girl has brought the young man here to look for him.
But really, she has come back out of loyalty to me.
To ensure my safety as the guardian of the solar system.
Now where?
How should I know?
Just look at this place.
It's fantastic.
Come along.
No time for sightseeing.
Let's try down here.
This way.
The efficiency of our security system is one of the main reasons for our natural supremacy.
What about the Daleks?
Once we are out of here, we can destroy the Daleks.
Between us we can muster a greater force than they.
We can form our own galactic council.
Listen!
What's that?
Kingdom, you've done well.
Now let us out of here.
No.
What do you mean, no?
Where is the Doctor?
If he is your leader, he is not with us.
Where is he?
I don't know.
No, let us out.
So that you can rejoin the Daleks?
Not likely.
Absurd!
The Daleks have betrayed us.
Betrayed?
Why should we rejoin them?
If we let them out, there's just a chance that some of them could mobilize a force to defeat the Daleks.
Of course we will.
You must!
The Daleks must be destroyed or all galaxies are in danger.
We have no choice.
Very well.
But the Daleks have already left, Campbell.
It's probable that their invasion plans are already going ahead.
And the universe can be taken by surprise because of your greed.
Must you moralize over?
Your only chance is to go back to your own people and warn them.
Our people will kill us.
Not if we save them.
We must destroy the Daleks.
Destroy!
Destroy!
We agree to go and defend our galaxies and to organize a search for the Dalek invasion force.
Let them out, Stephen.
It's all right.
You are a sensible woman, Kingdom.
I will see you are justly rewarded.
There they go.
Yes, let's hope they'll be in time.
Look, there's the ship of Salation and Beos.
Chen's ship is still there.
He must be nearly the last one to take off.
What about the others?
Those must belong to the dead representatives.
Chen's taking his time to get off.
There he goes.
No!
No!
No!
No!
Something's gone wrong.
Now he won't be able to get back to Earth and warn them.
Let's hope that the others can mobilize fast enough.
There must be something we can do.
Yes, find the Doctor.
What?
The Doctor?
No!
They're still here.
We must follow it, quickly.
Down there, right into the heart of the mountain.
Underground? Why didn't we think of that before?
Sarah, it's possible the invasion hasn't started yet.
Maybe the rest of the forces are down there.
Or part of them. There must be hundreds of places like that.
Yes, but that Dalek must know that the representatives got away.
He might even know that we're on camera.
If the representatives are gone and the Doctor disappeared,
we're going to have to put them out of action ourselves.
Can we?
We've got to! Earth will still be invaded.
Certainly. Thanks to you.
Chen! But you're dead!
Not yet, my innocent ones.
Though I'm delighted my pyrotechnical display impressed you.
No! I am alive!
And soon shall be master of the universe.
Perhaps, Kingdom, you'd like to lead the way.
Down there?
Of course. I'm certain the Daleks will be delighted to see you.
