Doctor Who S4E21 - English Transcript

There is your answer. Do with them what you will. So you're just a little man after all, Doctor, like all the rest. You disappoint me. You disappoint me. I didn't think a man of science needed the backing of thugs. Take care, Doctor. Your life is in the balance. You mean you haven't told your own people what's in store for them? Are you afraid, Zaroff? I have made a mistake. If I had not interfered with the temple sacrifice, the sharks would have torn you apart. But it's not too late. I'll return you to Lolem and tell him that I need you no longer. - And he can have that stupid priest, too. - No. You've no quarrel with Ramo. I persuaded him to help me. - I'm the one to blame. - That is not true. - I always distrusted you, Zaroff. - Take them away. The curse of Amdo be on you! Goodbye, Doctor. Have a pleasant journey Let's not say goodbye, Professor. - We'll be seeing each other again. - Not in this world, Doctor! As always, there is nothing to worry about. - And there is no truth in his arguments? - The man is a fool! Have I not sworn to you that Atlantis shall rise from the sea? Haven't I? What are you staring at? Nothing. Nothing at all. - What happens now? - First the supplication, then Accept, O powerful and mighty Amdo, these your sacrifices. - I'm sorry I got you into this, Ramo. - We all have to die sometime. If it is the will of Amdo, it is inevitable. This is the voice of Amdo. Hear meI Bow down your heads that Amdo may accept your sacrifice. BowI Let no human eye witness this awful momentI I know that voice. Ramo, don't be afraid. Get up and follow me. Come on. He who looks on the living face of Amdo shall dieI A miracle! A great and powerful miracle! Amdo has eaten up her victims! Unbelievable! All these years, and I never guessed Amdo's secret. I thought I recognised the voice! - How did you do it? - This is linked to the back of Amdo's mouth. - It's old but it works. - It was the sweetest sound I've ever heard! - They'll hear us. - No, they won't. I put the bunghole in. - So Amdo was made to trick the rest of us! - How did you find this place? A tunnel in the mines leads straight here. That's Sean, that's Jacko. So I tell you, it's complete. Everything will be ready in two days from now. To think that after so long, the great day is at hand! - We shall surprise the whole of mankind. - Yes. A very great surprise. Perhaps the greatest ever! - I shall order special prayers today. - Why not? It will keep the people happy. Let me in! - What is the meaning of this, Lolem? - A miracle before our very eyes! - Tell us. - Mighty Amdo, goddess of land and sea has accepted the sacrifice of the priest and the little Doctor. - What a miracle! - They vanished before they could be beheaded. No? Disappeared, you say? How? We bowed our heads in prayer. When we looked again, they'd gone. You lie, Priest! You allowed them to escape, no? - You discredit the mystic power of Amdo? - I believe what I see with my own eyes! - The truth, Lolem. - The voice of Amdo spoke to us! - The little Doctor no longer lives. - You're certain? By the spirit of Amdo, by the all-beating heart of living Atlantis! Perhaps he is right. It IS a miracle. You may go. Yes, go. And pray to Amdo that you are right! May the wrath of Amdo engulf you! I'll take my chance. Get out! Is it wise to sow seeds of doubt by discrediting a miracle just now? Yes. If the Doctor is at large, he can be an even bigger danger. - We must search Atlantis for him. - But Lolem Maybe Lolem can raise Atlantis again from the sea with his prayers Give your orders, Zaroff. It shall be as you wish. Now you are talking sense again! - The point is, where do we go from here? - Yeah, where? - Tell us, Doctor. - Our course is plain. We must attack Zaroff. He has gone mad, and is bent on destroying the whole world. We haven't long to stop him. - Tell us what to do. - Food. You're hungry, Doctor? Hungry? No. I mean that Zaroff and his people cannot exist without food. There is always food. The sea is all around us. - The supplies are unlimited. - Who provides it? - The Fish People do. - The Fish People. Exactly! But why? Because they are slaves, but slaves, like worms, can be made to turn. Right! So if you organise the Fish People to cut off the supplies That's no good. They'll live off their stocks. - Tell them, Ramo. - We have no stocks of food. Exactly. Zaroff has not yet found the answer to his great problem. - All his seafood goes bad in a few hours. - That's true. - And so - We get the Fish People to go on strike. - You are dreaming, man! - Hold on. We could try. But what would that do for us? What would it do for us?! I don't know, really, but it's a start. - Do you think you can do it? - We'll have a go. It'll take a great gift of the gab to win over the Fish People. - But you ARE Irish, aren't you? - How can we contact you? This will be our headquarters. If nobody's here, leave a message. - Good luck. - We'll need it! - What are we going to do? - Kidnap Professor Zaroff! - Are you all right? - Yes. Super. Look what I've got on. - You look splendid. - Couldn't you find a better disguise than that? - What's wrong with it? - You look like a sailor! That's what I'm supposed to be. No, thank you. - Salt water! - What do you expect? This is Atlantis. - Do you know what to do? - I think so. Wait a minute. Something's gone wrong. - Where's Zaroff? - Looking for us. Please Back this way. Nola, we need your help. They're looking for me. Lie down. Seen any strangers about? Everyone's a stranger these days. Why don't they leave us in peace? What have you got here? How shall I sell my carpets if you stick holes in them? It's clear. - Are you all right? - Yes. - Thank you very much. - Get away while you're safe. Zaroff's on his way, close behind us. Did you see anyone come through here? - A man about five foot nine? - That's right. - Black coat, baggy trousers and a bow tie? - Exactly. - No, I haven't - He's gone. We'd better get in position. Polly! - Where's that man? - What man, sir? - Answer me, girl. - I don't know. Search over there. - Sir! - You two come with me. - Zaroff! - There he is! Stop that man! That man. Which way did he go? Is all well? Splendid. He's close behind me. I hope I haven't set too hot a pace for him. No. Here he comes. He must be here somewhere. Search the temple. Who has entered here? Ah! The renegade priest himself. Guards, take him! Ah, Doctor, at last! Agh! Let go of me! - What are you going to do with him? - You'll see. Come on! - Go on. Tell them. - Tell them what? I'll tell them nothing. They're not people like us. They're just a bunch of sardines. You heard me! Cold-blooded fishes. You haven't got a drop of red blood in your bodies. A flatfish from Galway would have more guts than you! You wouldn't hurt a little child! - What could they do? - I'll tell them. All right. All right. Calm down and listen. Listen, will you? You supply all the food for Atlantis, right? It can't be stored, right? It goes rotten in a couple of hours. That's why Zaroff has you working like slaves night and day, right? Has it never occurred to your little fish brains to stop that supply of food? Feed yourselves, but starve Atlantis. What do you think would happen then? Now is your chance. Will you do it? Or will you stay fish slaves for the rest of your lives? You're men, aren't you? Well, start the blockade right now! Do you reckon they'll do it? Who knows? We can only hope for the best. I have underrated you, Doctor. I hardly imagined you would have the nerve to kidnap Zaroff himself. - What's so funny? - I don't see what you've got to laugh at. If you wish to stop my plans, you are all too late. The process has started. My nuclear reactor is activated. When the desired figure is reached, fission will take place and none of this will matter for any of us. - He's only bluffing. Nothing starts without him. - How do you know that? Well, the great Zaroff would have to be there to set off the explosion. - Miss your big moment? I think not! - You cannot hold me. My guards Will never find you. Not inside the temple you have defiled. You are fools! Idiots! I am mightier than all of you. - If I If - Doctor! It's a ruse! What's the matter with him? - It's an attack. - That's stopped him. - The project won't go ahead now. - I don't know. - We'd better get inside that laboratory. - I'm coming with you! - Someone has to look after Zaroff. - I'll stay. - I'll stay with her. - Very well. Come along. Take care! Another service! This will take some time. Could we not just slip out? Duck down here. It doesn't seem possible, does it? Look at him. - He doesn't look very menacing now. - There is still evil in this man. It hangs over him like a shroud. You will pay dearly for your crimes, Zaroff. I know. But before I die, please, you must help me to pray to your god for atonement. - Why should I help you? - Have pity on me. At least help me to stand at your side so I may feel the aura of your goodness. I think you should. He does look very ill. It's more than you deserve, Zaroff, but for the blessing of Amdo, I will grant you this last request. And now, meddling priest, this is the end of you! Don't! Stop it! You will come with me. - Who'd have thought it would take that long? - Let's get started. Just a minute. Jamie, you'd better watch Zaroff. - Why? - We need a guide. - Only Ramo knows all the passages. - If you say so, Doctor. - Doctor, look! - Zaroff Is he Yes. - Zaroff was having us on! - Polly's gone! - Zaroff's taken her as a hostage. - Let's go! No, Ben! Jamie, go after Polly. Watch out. Zaroff's a desperate man. Ben, you and I have other fish to fry. Come on. Wait. I can't go on any more. You will go on, if I have to drag you! Wait. - Did you hear anything? - No, nothing. - Come on. - No! - Do you want the same treatment as the priest? - No. - Come. - Polly! - Come back here! - Polly! Come back! Ah! Go back! He's away! - We've got to warn the Doctor. - He'll be in trouble if Zaroff gets there first. - How do we find the laboratory? - Ara knows the way. Go to the temple. We'll find her. The slaves are in revolt. - They've cut off all food supplies. - Why do they do this? - The hour of triumph is at hand. - They're just slaves. What can you expect? Where is Zaroff? He should be here. - He's disappeared. - Look for him. There is no time. You must take control now. So be it. I cannot let my people starve. Bring them before me that I may hear their demands. Yes, great Thous. I will tell them. All-wise, all-seeing Amdo, help me now. Zaroff! Where have you been? - The workers are in revolt. - My guards will restore order. - They are simple people. I'm sure - Those who resist will be killed. - Killed? - I have no time to waste. Zaroff, you are subject to me in all matters. I will not have my people Your people They are MY people now! I hold the whole world in my power! The Doctor was right about you. I order your project stopped at this moment! Guards! Take Zaroff to the temple and hold him there. You're a fool! You're a fool! I'll send you to your beloved goddess Amdo - to discuss the future of the universe with her. - I demand You demand Since your beloved goddess has developed such an enchanting appetite for people, it is only fitting that the great Thous should offer himself. No No, I shall offer him! Kill those two men! Nothing in the world can stop me now!
