att*ck OF THE CYBERMEN

BY: "PAULA MOORE" (PAULA WOOLSEY)

Part Two


Original Air Date: 12 January 1985
Running time: 44:29




DOCTOR: Wait! Let's discuss this, shall we?

PERI: I agree.

LEADER: There is nothing to discuss.

DOCTOR: If you want my cooperation, she must live.

LEADER: We cannot agree to bargain, Doctor. It would be unfortunate if you were to be k*lled, but we should still have your TARDIS.

DOCTOR: Not anymore, you don't. In precisely twenty seconds, you and it will cease to exist.

LEADER: Release the woman.

DOCTOR: How do I know you won't cheat and change your mind.

LEADER: You have my word.

DOCTOR: I'm not sure that's enough.

LEADER: Also that of the Cyber Controller.

DOCTOR: I thought he was destroyed.

LEADER: No, merely damaged.

DOCTOR: Where is he now?

LEADER: On our home planet, Telos.

DOCTOR: I see.

PERI: Doctor!

LEADER: Correct. We can now time travel. Set the coordinates for Telos.




BATES: Come on, hurry up.

BATES: You're going to have to try harder than that, Stratton.

STRATTON: This isn't going to work.

BATES: So you keep saying.

STRATTON: Do I look like a Cyberman?

BATES: If nobody looks too close.

STRATTON: This is fantasy. We won't convince anyone.

BATES: Listen, you pathetic creature. All we need do is convince the guard we are prisoner and escort. At least, until we get close enough to deal with them.

STRATTON: It won't work.

BATES: You'd rather stay out here and die?

STRATTON: No.




DOCTOR: This is bad news. Very bad news. How can they have discovered the laws of time?

LYTTON: They haven't. A time vessel landed on Telos. The Cybermen were able to capture it.

DOCTOR: So they only have one ship?

LYTTON: They will have two with your TARDIS.

DOCTOR: Doesn't make it any less depressing. How do you know what happened on Telos?

LYTTON: What does it matter? Just be grateful you're alive.

PERI: I assume you two know each other.

DOCTOR: Unfortunately, yes. The last time we met, he was working for the Daleks.

LYTTON: That wasn't out of choice. Your regeneration has made you vindictive, Doctor.

DOCTOR: Not at all. I've never found it difficult to despise people like you.

LYTTON: I'm not working for the Cybermen. I'm in the same predicament as you. Look around you.

PERI: I think he means he's also a prisoner.

DOCTOR: More likely a spy.

PERI: Does it really matter? He won't learn very much, and we certainly aren't going anywhere except Telos, wherever that is.

GRIFFITHS: Yes, where is it? Look, I'm finding all this a bit disturbing. Cybermen, now Daleks. Time travel in an organ.

PERI: You'll get used to it.




CYBERMAN: Control, our instruments register an irregular transmission from the TARDIS.

CONTROLLER: Inform the Cyber Leader on board. It will be the Doctor attempting to inform the Time Lords of his destination.

CYBERMAN: The Time Lords will attempt to stop us.

CONTROLLER: Whatever in their wisdom the Time Lords decide, they will be too late. Telos will have been destroyed and we shall have the Doctor's TARDIS.




LYTTON: Is this any use? I wouldn't try sticking it into the Cyber Controller. He might snap your hand off.

PERI: What are you trying to do?

DOCTOR: Upset the navigational control. If I can distort the coordinates by just a fraction of a degree

PERI: We'd miss Telos.

DOCTOR: Not quite.

GRIFFITHS: What is Telos? Is no one going to tell me?

LYTTON: I would have thought, Griffiths, even you would have managed to work that out by now. Telos is the Cybermen's home planet.

DOCTOR: Uh huh. Adopted planet. You'd have liked Telos, Peri, in the old days when the Cryons were in residence. They were the indigenous population till the Cybermen wiped them out.

LYTTON: They had nowhere else to go.

DOCTOR: Oh, for heaven's sake, man. The universe is littered with unpopulated planets.

LYTTON: But few with the facilities that Telos offered.

DOCTOR: Well, that's hardly an excuse.

PERI: What does he mean?

DOCTOR: Refrigeration.

PERI: That's a strange reason to commit genocide.

DOCTOR: Not when you build refrigerated cities the way the Cryons did. They had a genius for it. Mind you, they had to. They couldn't live in temperatures above zero.

GRIFFITHS: But why did the Cybermen need the cold?

DOCTOR: Hibernation. They were running out of power. They needed to rest. And whatever you may say, Lytton, they could have built their own hibernation plant and refrigeration chambers anywhere.

PERI: Well, why not on their own planet? I assume they had one. What's the matter?

GRIFFITHS: What is the matter?

LYTTON: Yes, Doctor. What's the matter?




CYBERMAN: Cyber Control reports that we are transmitting an irregular signal.

LEADER: Prepare for our arrival on Telos and bring the Doctor to me.




DOCTOR: Mondas, the Cyber planet, was destroyed.

LYTTON: But tell them how it was destroyed.

DOCTOR: You're enjoying this.

LYTTON: It's not often I have the opportunity to watch a Time Lord squirm.

DOCTOR: It blew up.

LYTTON: Whilst it was attacking Earth.

GRIFFITHS: What?

LYTTON: Tell them when.

DOCTOR: Take no notice of him. He's just trying to unnerve you. Your planet survived the att*ck.

PERI: When did it happen?

DOCTOR: 1986.

GRIFFITHS: Next year? That's almost now.

DOCTOR: You could put it that way.

PERI: Well, you must do something. Inform Earth, tell them it's coming. I mean, what's happening to us now must have something to do with that.

DOCTOR: How can I do anything? I'm a prisoner.

LYTTON: Even if he were free, he couldn't. He would transgress the laws of time.

PERI: You interfere continually.

DOCTOR: Not to that extent. Even I have to be careful.

LYTTON: The Time Lords would have him destroyed.

DOCTOR: And that would please you. Look, don't worry. Earth survived with minimal damage. It's an historical fact.

LYTTON: Yes, it's now become part of the web of time in the same way that the Cryons were destroyed.

PERI: I'm not interested in the Cryons.

LYTTON: Hmm. There's compassion for you.

PERI: I didn't mean it like that. I'm confused.

GRIFFITHS: So am I. I mean, how can a planet travel around off its orbit?

DOCTOR: Mondas had a propulsion unit. A tribute to Cyber engineering. Though why they should want to push a planet through space, I've no idea.

CYBERMAN: You will come with me.

PERI: Why?

DOCTOR: Go with him. This is no time to be difficult.

CYBERMAN: And you will go to the console room.

DOCTOR: Telos.




CYBERMAN: There is a rogue Cyberman on level four, Controller.

CONTROLLER: We must cease reactivation.

CYBERMAN: We are still finding undamaged specimens in hibernation.

CONTROLLER: But not enough to justify the heavy casualties being sustained by our resuscitation team. Cease reactivation.

CYBERMAN: Controller.

CONTROLLER: And order the rogue destroyed.




DOCTOR: We had an agreement.

LEADER: The woman is unharmed. Telos is cold. She must have warmer clothing. I have kept my word but you have deceived us.

DOCTOR: What have I done?

LEADER: You will disconnect the signal you are transmitting.

LEADER: You are foolish, Doctor. Next time, we will k*ll you.




STRATTON: I can't breath.

BATES: Leave it alone. We're too close to Cyber Control.

STRATTON: I've got to rest for a minute.

BATES: Cybermen aren't supposed to rest.




PERI: What happened?

DOCTOR: A little disagreement with our tin friends.

PERI: You look terrible.

DOCTOR: Not half as bad as I feel.

CYBERMAN: We are about to materialise.

PERI: (quietly) What have you done?

DOCTOR: (quietly) Nothing much.




GRIFFITHS: What happened to the organ?

PERI: Do you really want to know? Oh, this place is so cold!

DOCTOR: I'd forgotten how big they were.

LYTTON: I can understand why they call them tombs.

PERI: I'm pleased you two are so impressed. I find the whole place hateful.

DOCTOR: Yes, I suppose the atmosphere is rather rancid.

PERI: And it's freezing cold.

LEADER: We have materialised in the wrong place.

DOCTOR: Really?

LYTTON: He almost sounded concerned.

DOCTOR: Yes. I wonder why?




CONTROLLER: The TARDIS must be brought here. Despatch technicians to implement my orders.

CYBERMAN: At once, Controller.




PERI: Oh, what is that terrible smell?

LYTTON: Death.

GRIFFITHS: Trust him to cheer everyone up.

PERI: What do you mean, death?

LYTTON: The sour, rank odour of death is unmistakable.

PERI: They're not dead. The Cybermen are hibernating.

DOCTOR: You know far more than you're saying.

LYTTON: You'll find out, Doctor, all in good time.

PERI: How can they smell? They can't be rotting, this place is freezing cold.

LEADER: We must leave this place at once.

DOCTOR: Why?

LEADER: We have far to travel, and the Controller awaits your arrival.

LYTTON: This way.

DOCTOR: Run, Peri!

PERI: What about you?

LEADER: He must not be harmed.

CYBERMAN: What about the others, Leader?

LEADER: They are unimportant.

PERI: No! No! No!




LYTTON: Come on, keep moving.

GRIFFITHS: Just hang on a minute. I've been messed around enough today. Where are we going?

LYTTON: You want to get home?

GRIFFITHS: You can say that again.

LYTTON: That's where you're going.

GRIFFITHS: Oh, I see. You've got a taxi waiting.

THREST (OOV.): He speaks the truth.

GRIFFITHS: What's that?

THREST: My name is Threst. Welcome, Lytton.

GRIFFITHS: Does she know who you are?

THREST: Of course. Lytton has come to help us.

GRIFFITHS: You certainly know how to put yourself about.

LYTTON: I was stranded on Earth. I sent out a distress call, the Cryons picked it up.

THREST: And we told him the Cybermen had invaded our planet.

LYTTON: And I tricked the Cybermen into bringing us here to Telos.

THREST: For we need Lytton's help to defeat them. We also need you.

GRIFFITHS: Me?

THREST: It was why you were brought here.

LYTTON: I haven't told him yet.

GRIFFITHS: You never did intend to do that diamond job.

LYTTON: Would you have come if I'd told you the truth?

GRIFFITHS: You bet I wouldn't.

LYTTON: That, Griffiths, is why I didn't tell you.

GRIFFITHS: That, Mister Lytton, is why two men are dead.

LYTTON: It wasn't of my making.

GRIFFITHS: It certainly wasn't of theirs.

THREST: We realise this must be confusing for you, but there is a way for you to get home. And of course, being a professional like Lytton, we realise your time is valuable.

GRIFFITHS: Are you winding me up?

LYTTON: Attempting to annoy.

THREST: I hope not. We intend to pay you.

GRIFFITHS: What can you pay me?

LYTTON: The equivalent of two million pounds in uncut diamonds.

THREST: We were surprised you wanted so little.

LYTTON: Diamonds are common on Telos.

GRIFFITHS: What am I supposed to do for these?

LYTTON: Help me steal a time vessel.




FLAST: Welcome.

DOCTOR: Hello. I'm the Doctor.

FLAST: My name is Flast.




GRIFFITHS: Look, what am I supposed to do? I'm none too clever behind the wheel of a car, never mind a time vessel.

LYTTON: Your function, as always, Griffiths, is muscle.

THREST: And we have a crew.

GRIFFITHS: So what do I do?

LYTTON: Keep me alive.

GRIFFITHS: A minder?

LYTTON: A bodyguard.

THREST: An honourable profession.

GRIFFITHS: But why me? Why can't one of your lot do it?

THREST: We can only exist in temperatures below zero degrees. If I were to venture onto the surface of the planet, I would boil.

LYTTON: Come on, Griffiths. You're getting two million pounds for what would be little more than a day's work.

GRIFFITHS: But will I live to spend it?

LYTTON: If we capture the time vessel, yes.

GRIFFITHS: If we don't?

LYTTON: We'll be turned into emotionless Cybermen.




ROST: Peace, child. We mean you no harm.

VARNE: We rescued you from the Cybermen, at no inconsiderable risk to ourselves.

PERI: Oh, yes. I'm sorry, I'm confused.

ROST: You must rest, then we will talk.

PERI: Who are you?

ROST: My name is Rost. This is Varne.

PERI: I'm Peri. I'm from the planet Earth.

ROST: We know, child.

VARNE: We are Cryons. We no longer have a planet.




STRATTON: We won't get away with this.

BATES: Shut up!




DOCTOR: I thought the Cybermen had destroyed the Cryons.

FLAST: So did they, but as you see, some of us survived. Not many, but some. You're looking very blue.

DOCTOR: Do you mean depressed, or cold?

FLAST: Ah. I think I shall enjoy your company.

DOCTOR: Not for long, I hope. I won't last half an hour in here. It's freezing.

FLAST: You are, in fact, the first company I've had in some time. I honestly thought I would die without ever seeing another humanoid face.

DOCTOR: Enjoy me while you can. I hope not to be around for too long.

FLAST: Ah, escape. They all talk about that for the first few minutes, then they become depressed. It's the locked door and the armed guard that's the unsolvable problem.

DOCTOR: Really. Could also have something to do with the lack of support on the part of their cellmate.

FLAST: I hate the Cybermen more than you could ever know, and if I could do anything to frustrate or obstruct their course, I certainly would.

DOCTOR: It seems your people have done quite a lot already. I assume you are responsible for the stench of death everywhere?

FLAST: I would be happier if the Cyber Controller and the others were all dead.

DOCTOR: So would I, especially now that they can time travel.

FLAST: Oh, but they can't. Not properly.

DOCTOR: They have a ship.

FLAST: Which they stole. They don't fully understand the principle of time.

DOCTOR: That's reassuring.

FLAST: I wouldn't get too excited.

DOCTOR: I rarely do.

FLAST: Because what they have in mind will undoubtedly distress you.

DOCTOR: Well, tell me gently.

FLAST: They intend to change history.

DOCTOR: They can't! It's against all the laws of time!

FLAST: Then perhaps you should tell them, because if you don't, they intend to prevent Mondas from being destroyed.




CYBERMAN: All charges on the surface of the planet are set and primed.

CONTROLLER: Excellent. Instruct the technicians the TARDIS must be brought here as soon as possible.




GRIFFITHS: This place is enormous. We'll never find them out here.

LYTTON: Yes, we will.

GRIFFITHS: That thing. What does it do?

LYTTON: It detects Cybermen, and there are two very close.

BATES: That's right. Don't turn round. Throw the g*n down. Now the bag.

BATES: You're looking for us?

LYTTON: If you're Bates and Stratton, yes.

BATES: So you found us.

LYTTON: I think we can help each other.

BATES: Really?

BATES: He's flesh and blood.

GRIFFITHS: What's he talking about?

BATES: This one too.

GRIFFITHS: Are they Cybermen?

LYTTON: Almost.

BATES: This is what the Cybermen do to you.

GRIFFITHS: How much of you?

BATES: Arms and legs. Their conditioning process doesn't always work.

GRIFFITHS: You're sort of rejects.

BATES: That's one way of putting it.

GRIFFITHS: Will they do that to us?

LYTTON: If they find us. But we won't be here. Like you, we want to steal the time vessel.

BATES: We don't need you.

LYTTON: The time vessel needs a crew of three, at minimum. Now, there are two of us and there are two of you. I don't know how you intend to get onto the landing pad, but I have a safe route. Through Cyber Control.

BATES: Where'd you get this from?

LYTTON: The Cryons.




PERI: Look, I know you're busy

ROST & VARNE: Come, child.

ROST: You should be resting.

PERI: There isn't time. I have a friend, the Doctor. He's a prisoner of the Cybermen.

ROST & VARNE: We know. And we know what you're about to ask.

ROST: Rescue is out of the question. We cannot go into Cyber Control. It is far too warm for us. We would boil and die.

PERI: But the Doctor, he's a man of enormous resourcefulness. He could help. How did you know that was the Doctor? I arrived with three men.

ROST: You never were very bright.

VARNE: You should have k*lled her, then I wouldn't need to be. Anyway, she can't use the information.

PERI: You know Lytton, don't you.

BOTH: We do, child.

PERI: The man's a criminal.

VARNE: Which is an excellent qualification for what he has to do.

PERI: He's working for you? I don't understand this. What can he do?

VARNE: Prevent the Cybermen leaving Telos.

PERI: But I thought you would have been glad to see them go.

ROST: On their departure they will attempt to destroy our planet.

PERI: But that's pointless.

VARNE: Nothing the Cybermen do is pointless. They want to study the effect of the expl*si*n on the planet's atmosphere.

PERI: I see.

ROST: Not fully, child. The Cybermen want to change history

VARNE: It's the only way their race can survive. To do that, they must destroy Earth.

PERI: What!

ROST: You see, it was their encounter with Earth that brought about the destruction of their own planet, Mondas. For Mondas to survive, Earth must be destroyed.




CYBERMAN: Our scouts have located the entrance to Cyber Control Stratton and Bates have used.

LEADER: Instruct the scouts to follow and destroy the SVPs at once.




DOCTOR: Mondas? Oh, I think my blood's beginning to congeal. Are you sure about this?

FLAST: Oh yes, I'm sure.

DOCTOR: How do they intend to destroy Earth?

FLAST: It would only be necessary to disrupt it.

DOCTOR: It would still take rather a large b*mb.

FLAST: They have one. A natural one. In fact, it's heading towards Earth at this very moment.

DOCTOR: Halley's comet?

FLAST: That's right. They plan to divert it, cause it to crash into Earth. It'll make a very loud bang.

DOCTOR: Indeed it will. It'll also bring about a massive change in established history. The Time Lords would never allow it.

FLAST: Who knows? Perhaps their agents are already at work.

DOCTOR: Well, if they are, they're taking their time about it. For a start, why? Wait a minute. No! No, not me! You haven't manoeuvred me into this mess just so I can get you out of it! It would have helped if I had known what was going on!

FLAST: You are a Time Lord?

DOCTOR: Yes. And at the moment, a rather angry one.

FLAST: I want to see the Cybermen dealt with as much as the Time Lords do.

DOCTOR: Oh? But surely, it must have occurred to you that if Mondas hadn't been destroyed, the Cybermen would never have come here.

FLAST: Of course, but my people have accepted their fate. Your problem is to convince the Cybermen of theirs. I think I can help you. I managed to open one of these, but I couldn't do anything with it.

DOCTOR: What is it?

FLAST: Vastial. It's a mineral, very common in the colder areas of Telos. It's also very unstable. In fact, you have enough in your hand to blow it off. At this temperature, though, it's quite safe, quite useless, otherwise the Cybermen would hardly have locked us in here with it.

DOCTOR: How warm does it have to get before it becomes unfriendly?

FLAST: Ten degrees above zero. Fifteen, and it self-ignites.




GRIFFITHS: Over here?

LYTTON: Up there. g*n? I'll keep you covered.

LYTTON: Now move.

LYTTON: Help!




BATES: There's nothing we can do to help him. Are you coming?




FLAST: Even if you can get the door open, the guard in the corridor is armed.

DOCTOR: So you said. And so are we.

FLAST: But we're in here and he's out there.

DOCTOR: First things first. How much of this stuff do we need to destroy the guard?

FLAST: Very little.

DOCTOR: Now, you're sure this will explode on contact with warm air?

FLAST: Of course, but how will you get it out of here?

DOCTOR: Wait, watch and learn.

DOCTOR: If I do get it open, what happens to you? You can't leave here. The warmth in the corridor will k*ll you.

FLAST: Destroy the guard first, then we'll discuss it.

DOCTOR: When they learn about this, they'll k*ll you.

FLAST: They'll simply complete a job they started some time ago. That is what I've been waiting for, Time Lord.

FLAST: There is enough expl*sive in here to annihilate Cyber Control.

DOCTOR: Well, there's not much power left in this lance, and that stuff is very cold. It may not generate enough heat.

FLAST: The Cybermen will not leave Telos.




ROST: You must wait here, child. There will be a guard on the TARDIS.

PERI: It won't work. I can't operate the controls. If I try to move the TARDIS, anything could happen.

VARNE: We said we'd help you.

PERI: I don't think you realise how temperamental that machine is. I mean, even the Doctor has problems piloting it.

VARNE: Varne.




THREST: Lytton has been taken prisoner.




ROST: The TARDIS must be moved.




CONTROLLER: You have wasted both our time and energy. I know that you plan to steal or destroy my time vessel. You will tell me how it is to be done.




ROST: There is a guard. There may be others inside.

PERI: Well, don't look at me. I'm not going in after them.




CONTROLLER: You are foolish, Lytton. You could have saved yourself from pain. I told you you would tell us everything. Now you will become as we are.

CYBERMAN: The time vessel is approaching Telos, Controller.

CONTROLLER: Excellent. Order it to land and have the Doctor brought to me.

CYBERMAN: Controller. (beep) The Cyberman guarding the Doctor does not respond.

CONTROLLER: Show him to me.

CONTROLLER: The Doctor has escaped. He must be found.





DOCTOR: Hello. I'm the Doctor.

VARNE: Unless you help us, you won't be for very much longer.

PERI: Doctor, you escaped. You've got to help me. They want to destroy the TARDIS.

DOCTOR: Well, that's not very friendly.

ROST: It would be more accurate to say that we do not wish the Cybermen to control it.

DOCTOR: Well, there at least we agree. How many Cybermen are inside the TARDIS?

VARNE: We have no way of telling.

DOCTOR: Then we must find out.

DOCTOR: Do you mind?




PERI: What are you doing?

DOCTOR: Cybermen have an inbuilt distress signal.

PERI: But this thing's dead.

DOCTOR: The signal is mechanical, not organic. There may be enough power left in this battery to transmit.

PERI: And achieve what?

DOCTOR: A reaction from those inside the TARDIS. The Cybermen have one weakness. They'll react to the distress of their own kind. When I was a prisoner in Cyber Control, I met a friend of yours.

VARNE: Flast? But we thought she was dead.

DOCTOR: If she isn't now, she soon will be. She's at the moment the living detonator of a b*mb that could go off at any second and k*ll us all.




LEADER: Search the room. The Doctor may have interfered with the vastial.

CYBERMAN: Leader.

LEADER: How long has the Doctor been gone?

FLAST: I don't know. I don't have an instrument for measuring time.

LEADER: You will answer my questions.

FLAST: I will not.

LEADER: Very well, take her outside.




BATES: According to the map, the launching pad is on the other side of this door.

STRATTON: We made it!

GRIFFITHS: Let's get aboard the ship before we open the champagne.

BATES: Give me that thing. Ready?




CYBERMAN: The intruders have been destroyed.

CONTROLLER: Excellent. You will all accompany me.




DOCTOR: Are you ready?

ROST: Yes.

DOCTOR: There are two of them. This way.

DOCTOR: I'm sorry.

ROST: Please remove your TARDIS from Telos before you have to be rescued again.

DOCTOR: What about you, Rost?

ROST: We shall survive.

PERI: But Doctor, what about Lytton?

DOCTOR: Hmm?

PERI: He's been captured by the Cybermen.

DOCTOR: That should make him happy.

PERI: You don't understand. He's working for the Cryons.

DOCTOR: For you?

ROST: Yes, for us.

PERI: Well, you can't just let him die.

DOCTOR: Where's he likely to be now?

ROST: In the laboratory.

DOCTOR: I'll see what I can do. Good luck.

ROST: And to you, Doctor.




CONTROLLER: Hurry.

CYBERMAN: Controller, the technicians at the Doctor's TARDIS do not respond to our call.

CONTROLLER: That is not possible.

CYBERMAN: Instruments also indicate time disturbance.

CONTROLLER: The TARDIS has been moved.




LYTTON: I know you.

DOCTOR: That's right. And I'm just beginning to find out about you.

LYTTON: Did you put the sonic lance to good use?

DOCTOR: I did. Why didn't you say something?

LYTTON: Now you must k*ll me.

DOCTOR: I can help you. Hang on.

LYTTON: The drug is affecting my brain. Irreversible damage.

DOCTOR: I'm the Doctor. I'll tell you if its irreversible or not. Now just hang on.

LYTTON: I did my best. I kept my word.

DOCTOR: I know.

LYTTON: Please, Doctor. k*ll me.

CONTROLLER: Move away from him, Doctor.

CONTROLLER: Emotion is a weakness.

DOCTOR: I don't think so.

CONTROLLER: It brought you back for your friend and it will cost you your life.


DOCTOR: I must help him.

PERI: It's too late, Doctor. He's dead.

DOCTOR: I can't just leave him.

PERI: You must. There's nothing you can do.

DOCTOR: Why didn't he say something?

PERI: You never gave him a chance.




DOCTOR: It didn't go very well, did it?

PERI: Earth's safe. So is history and the web of time.

DOCTOR: I meant on a personal level. I don't think I've ever misjudged anybody quite as badly as I did Lytton.
