Windsor Great Park
The Doctor: Of course. It's so simple. They're shrouded.
Ace: You what?
The Doctor: Shrouded. They don't show up. But we must try and force them into revealing themselves. Treble. Bass. Please let me be right. Is anyone listening? Balance.
Ace: What are they?
The Doctor: Cyber warships. Thousands of them. They were invisible.
Ace: What can we do?
The Doctor: I think our best move is to go to the crypt, unarmed, with the bow.
Ace: Professor, are you losing your marbles?
The Doctor: We've got to get the bow into the statue's hands in order to activate the validium.
Ace: Is this the only way?
The Doctor: I believe in the direct approach. You can always go back to the TARDIS.
Ace: Are we going or what?
Crypt
De Flores: Surely we, er, we can negotiate this er, this misunderstanding?
Leader: Our understanding is perfect. You thought you had all three components of the statue, and naturally wished to destroy us.
Karl: You are completely mistaken.
Leader: Silence.
Cyberman: Validium activity indicates proximity of the bow, Leader.
Leader: Excellent. k*ll them.
Outside the Crypt
Karl: Herr De Flores.
De Flores: You fool, they're going to k*ll us.
Karl: Your day is over.
De Flores: You betray me? Have I taught you nothing?
Karl: Everything. Which is why we now part company. I'm afraid you failed to understand history in addition to Wagner.
De Flores: I?
Karl: Supermen are all very well, but the giants are the master race.
Karl: Here he is. Now make me one of you.
Leader: You show potential. Very well. Have them programmed at once.
Leader: We must complete the statue immediately. Locate the bow. Destroy the Doctor and his young friend.
Richard: How is it with you, my lady?
Peinforte: I understand not.
Richard: What's to understand?
Peinforte: Always I have treated you badly. I have done you no service, shown you no kindness, and yet you risk your life to save me. Why so?
Richard: Should I not?
Peinforte: I do not live in the world of what should. But you're a good man, Richard, and I am evil.
Richard: My lady, we have no more weapons.
Peinforte: No, you're wrong. I have one more yet that will not fail. My knowledge. I will have the statue of Nemesis.
Windsor Great Park
Ace: Doctor.
The Doctor: Ace?
Ace: Look, let's be honest, right? I've never really bottled out of anything before, have I, but I'm really, really scared, Doctor.
The Doctor: Oh, Ace. I'm sorry. Forgive me. Why don't you go back to the TARDIS? You'll be safe there, whatever happens.
Ace: No chance, Doctor. No chance.
Crypt
Cyberman: The Cyberfleet are still not receiving our transmission, Leader.
Leader: Is there any pattern to the jamming signal?
Cyberman: It is meaningless.
Cyberman: Communication channels to the Cyberfleet are clear again, Leader.
Leader: Excellent. Their arrival is imminent.
De Flores: You fool. Without the bow the statue's power is nothing.
Leader: We will shortly obtain the bow.
De Flores: From the Doctor? Don't delude yourself. He is no common adversary. Do you think he'll simply walk in here and hand it over?
The Doctor: Good afternoon.
Leader: Doctor.
The Doctor: Yes, here we are. I'm sorry we couldn't have been here earlier, but we were held up on the way. I don't believe you've met my friend Ace.
Leader: Give me the bow.
The Doctor: Cyberleader moves pawn to discover check.
Ace: Ace replies by neatly castling with the bow.
Leader: Give me the bow.
The Doctor: Doctor en passant behind Cyberleader.
Leader: Give me the bow!
The Doctor: Doctor supports combination gambit.
Leader: Take the bow from him.
The Doctor: Middle game element with Cybermen.
Leader: k*ll him!
The Doctor: End game. Illegal move, but checkmate!
The Doctor: That seems to be in order.
The Doctor: Run!
Outside the Crypt
The Doctor: The TARDIS.
Ace: No statue?
The Doctor: Now it's awake, it'll follow the bow.
Windsor Great Park
Peinforte: Fear not, Richard. It is the Nemesis come alive.
Richard: Alive?
Peinforte: Why, yes. Which means it is complete, and now it shall be mine.
Peinforte: All power, all power past, present and future, shall be mine. Why, I shall be mistress of all of that is, all that shall be, all that ever was. Yes, all! All!
Richard: My lady, let us find some shelter.
Peinforte: How dare you! I shall lead and you follow!
Lady Peinforte's home
Ace: Hey, why are we here? What's going on, Professor?
The Doctor: Unfinished business. We don't want those to fall into the wrong hands, just yet.
Ace: How's the game going?
The Doctor: Black's losing.
Ace: What happens to these calculations?
The Doctor: Bishop takes rook. Someone steals them.
Ace: The same person who steals the bow? I mean, the same person who steals it in 1788?
The Doctor: How should I know, Ace? Questions, questions. Queen takes bishop.
Ace: Who brought validium to Earth in the first place?
The Doctor: But pawn takes queen.
Ace: What's really going on, Doctor?
The Doctor: Checkmate. Black wins. Time to go. Take those gold coins. We may need them.
Road
Peinforte: We needs must walk, Richard. We have no carriage.
Richard: We can avail ourselves of one of these steeds, my lady. I see the method. Sit you here and rest awhile.
Crypt
Leader: The Doctor must not lead the statue back to the rocket sleds. We will stop him.
Warehouse
The Doctor: Ah. Now, the statue should be here any moment now. Everything depends on my final calculations. I can't get my figures wrong this time.
Ace: It's okay, Professor. I promise not to interrupt you.
The Doctor: You are interrupting me.
Ace: Sorry.
The Doctor: There's also another slight problem. The Cybermen could be here at any moment.
Ace: Don't worry, Doctor. I'll look after you.
The Doctor: Aim at the chest panel. And I trust you remember my strict instructions never to cause any further explosions?
Ace: I'm a better person as a result, Doctor.
The Doctor: Good. We're ready for anything.
Road
Peinforte: All will be mine.
Limousine
Remington: Er, Cyril, honey, pull the automobile over. There's some people there who could use a lift.
Remington: Where are you folks headed?
Richard: To Windsor, and it please you, ma'am.
Remington: It surely does, honey. Jump right in.
Crypt
Karl: Herr De Flores, your day is over.
De Flores: (laughs) You betray me. Have I taught you nothing.
Karl: We completely deceived them, Herr De Flores.
De Flores: Even I thought for a moment we were finished. I am not afraid of death, only of failing in my duty.
Warehouse
The Doctor: Now, ah yes, the bow. The bow. The bow is essential. You shall have the bow.
Limousine
Remington: You must be parched from standing in the sun. May I offer you a little refreshment?
Richard: Thank you, no, madam.
Remington: Oh. Are you folks students?
Richard: Alas, I am but a servant, and cannot read or write.
Remington: Oh.
Richard: My mistress is of noble birth, and has some Latin and a little Greek.
Remington: Well, you must be on vacation at this time.
Richard: Go you far, ma'am?
Remington: Far? Oh, I just came over from London.
Richard: Two days ride.
Remington: Well, no, actually the traffic was pretty reasonable. I left about, let's see, forty minutes ago.
Richard: Forty minutes?
Remington: Folks from the south are never in a hurry. As a matter of fact, I'm here on a visit, checking out my roots.
Richard: Tis wise with crops this time of year, ma'am.
Remington: Oh.
Warehouse
Nemesis: I am beautiful, am I not?
Ace: Yes. You're very beautiful.
Nemesis: It is only my present form. I have had others which would horrify you. I shall have those again. You are surprised I speak?
Ace: I know you're living metal.
Nemesis: I am whatever I am made to be. This time Lady Peinforte called me Nemesis, so I am retribution.
Ace: Catch you later.
Limousine
Remington: Well, my family came from around here. I traced them all the way back to the sixteen hundreds.
Peinforte: All things will soon be mine.
Remington: I guess they will, honey.
Peinforte: Time past, present and future. Power invincible.
Warehouse
Leader: Destroy the human female. Find and destroy her!
Limousine
Peinforte: The secret of the heavens.
Remington: Virginia is heaven, if you ask me. My family owns a little land there. They used to own a little land around here, too. The Remingtons of Remington Grange.
Peinforte: I know them. Thieves and swindlers all.
Remington: You study history?
Peinforte: Dorothea Remington did bribe away my cook.
Remington: Oh. Now, let me see. Yes, there was a Dorothea. She d*ed in sixteen...
Peinforte: Twenty one. Twas a slow poison.
Remington: This is unbelievable.
Peinforte: Many found it so.
Remington: Here I am, driving around, and I pick up someone who's researched my family tree.
Peinforte: We ride to destiny.
Remington: We surely do, honey. We surely do.
Warehouse
The Doctor: And now, we'll set the rockets for the correct projection, and then you will be on course for the Cyberfleet.
Ace: Why? You're going to k*ll me anyway.
Leader: We detect only one more piece of gold.
Ace: Correct. So who'll be next, and who'll be lucky?
Leader: k*ll her.
The Doctor: The rockets are now locked in to a destination. Now, let's see how the Cyberfleet is progressing.
The Doctor: Right on course.
Nemesis: And I'm to destroy the entire Cyberfleet?
The Doctor: Forever.
Nemesis: And then?
The Doctor: Reform.
Nemesis: You might need me in the future, then?
The Doctor: I hope not.
Nemesis: That is what you said before.
The Doctor: Enough.
Nemesis: And after this, will I have my freedom?
The Doctor: Not yet.
Nemesis: When?
The Doctor: I told you when.
The Doctor: Things are still imperfect.
The Doctor: Stop! Harm her in the slightest, and I will destroy this bow!
Cyberman: Give us the bow, Doctor.
The Doctor: No.
Cyberman: We shall simply take it and k*ll you both.
The Doctor: Ah.
Cyberman: In any case, your thr*at was meaningless. How could you have destroyed the bow?
The Doctor: Well, actually, I would have arranged to have the bow neatly placed in front of the rocket sled. Then I would have arranged the rockets to test fire at a pre-arranged time. By the way, Ace, what is the time?
Ace: Well, it's almost...
Ace: Is that it, Doctor? Oh no, not you again.
De Flores: The bow.
De Flores: We have both succeeded in deceiving the Cybermen.
Karl: They made the mistake of assuming all human beings to be weak, corruptible. We, however, are loyal to the death.
De Flores: The long journey is over. You will be worshipped forever. Doesn't she speak?
The Doctor: Not to the likes of you.
De Flores: She will. Well, Doctor, we must part. And thank you for removing the Cybermen. Now the Nemesis is finally mine.
Ace: I'm sorry, Doctor. I thought I'd got him.
Leader: Give me the bow, or I will k*ll her.
Peinforte: All things, all power. Time, space, the world.
Leader: She is mad.
Richard: Speak not of my lady so.
Peinforte: See, I am here.
Ace: What do you want?
Peinforte: My Nemesis.
Ace: You're too late. The Doctor's got it.
Peinforte: It is incomplete until it holds the bow. That may be given over to anyone. It will now be given to me.
Leader: No! To us.
Peinforte: You are nothing. Only the Doctor matters, and he is but a pawn in the game of my making.
Ace: Listen, you old bag.
Richard: Silence!
Ace: The Doctor's not just going to give you the bow. Tell her, Doctor. Tell her.
Peinforte: Doctor who? Have you never wondered where he came from, who he is?
Ace: Nobody knows who the Doctor is.
Peinforte: Except me.
Ace: How?
Peinforte: The statue told me.
Ace: All right, so what does it matter? He's a Time Lord, I know that.
Peinforte: Well, Doctor?
The Doctor: If I give you the bow...
Peinforte: Your power becomes mine, but your secrets remain your own.
The Doctor: It's all over, Ace. My battle, all my battles, I've lost. I can only surrender.
Peinforte: Yes.
The Doctor: But not to you. The Cybermen will have the Nemesis.
Leader: This is most rational, Doctor.
Peinforte: But I know your secrets.
The Doctor: Very well, tell them.
Peinforte: I shall tell them of Gallifrey, tell them of the old time, the time of chaos.
The Doctor: Be my guest.
Peinforte: Your secrets...
Leader: The secrets of the Time Lords mean nothing to us.
The Doctor: Exactly. Thank you for coming to the twentieth century and giving me assistance. Thank you for bringing the arrow. You may go now.
Peinforte: What?
The Doctor: You had the right game, but the wrong pawn. Check.
Leader: Enough, Doctor. Cancel the statue's destructive capability.
The Doctor: Thank you.
The Doctor: Do you understand the Cyberleader's instructions?
Nemesis: Perfectly.
Ace: Please don't surrender, Doctor.
Leader: Prepare it for launching to liaise with our fleet. You have the position from this device.
Leader: A new and final era begins, Doctor. Imagination, thought, freedom, pleasure, all will end.
Leader: The Earth will be transformed into our base planet, the new Mondas. Before I k*ll you all, you may watch the arrival of our fleet. Launch the Nemesis.
Ace: Let them k*ll me, Doctor. Don't surrender.
The Doctor: Stand back. She's ready for launching.
Ace: Nice rocket technology, Doctor.
Leader: We will watch its progress.
The Doctor: Certainly.
Leader: This is impossible. You gave my instructions to the statue.
The Doctor: Yes, I gave your instructions to the Nemesis, and it understood them. It understood them, and disobeyed them, and destroyed the Cyberfleet.
Leader: Then you will join them.
The Doctor: It's worth it.
The Doctor: That seems to be that. Thank you.
Richard: It was nothing, Doctor. I wish I could have saved my lady, too, but she was one with your statue. How shall I live now, stranded, a stranger in this time?
The Doctor: I know how you feel. However...
Ace: He'll give you a lift.
The Doctor: Back to 1638?
Richard: It's possible?
The Doctor: Anything's possible.
Lady Peinforte's home
Ace: So you sent the Nemesis off into space to draw the Cybermen so you could finish them off.
The Doctor: I suppose I did. How clever of me.
Ace: Just like you nailed the Daleks.
The Doctor: As I said, Ace. Unfinished business.
Ace: There's still one question you haven't answered.
Richard: We have none of this jazz whereof you speak, Doctor, but I think you will like this.
Ace: Professor? Doctor? Who are you?
