Part Two
Original Air Date: 1 November 1975
Running time: 23:53
LAURENCE: Marcus!
DOCTOR: Shush.
SCARMAN: Take up the generator loops.
SCARMAN: Place them in position at the compass points. Activate at ground strength.
DOCTOR: Quick, hide.
SARAH: Where have they gone?
DOCTOR: To set up a deflection field around the house. He's obviously planned every step.
LAURENCE: Who, Marcus?
DOCTOR: No, Sutekh.
DOCTOR: Sutekh is breaking free from his ancient bonds. If he succeeds, he'll destroy the whole world.
SARAH: You mean Sutekh is still alive?
DOCTOR: He destroyed his own planet, Phaester Osiris, and left a trail of havoc across half the galaxy. Horus and the rest of the Osirans must have finally cornered him on Earth.
SARAH: In Egypt?
DOCTOR: The wars of the gods entered into mythology. The whole of Egyptian culture is founded upon the Osiran pattern.
LAURENCE: I'm afraid this is beyond me.
SARAH: It's beyond me, too.
DOCTOR: Ah! Found it.
SARAH: What?
DOCTOR: The lodestone that drew the TARDIS off course.
LAURENCE: That's not a lodestone, that's just a sarcophagus.
DOCTOR: No, it isn't. It's the entrance to a time-space tunnel.
SARAH: Leading where?
DOCTOR: To Sutekh.
(The Doctor activates a cartouche on the case and it starts to do its multicoloured effect.
SARAH: Doctor!
DOCTOR: Keep back!
SARAH: Doctor! Doctor, come on. Wake up, please.
LAURENCE: It's no good. He took the full force of the blast.
SARAH: They're bound to come back soon. We're trapped! Where are you going?
LAURENCE: There's a priest hole here somewhere. Marcus and I discovered it when we were boys.
LAURENCE: There. It isn't very large, I'm afraid.
SARAH: No, well, he is though, so come and give me a hand.
CLEMENTS: Holy Moses.
WARLOCK: Is that you, Laurence?
WARLOCK: Marcus! Marcus, my dear fellow, you're back.
SCARMAN: Why are you here?
WARLOCK: Huh? What's the matter? For goodness sakes, old chap, don't you recognise me?
SCARMAN: Warlock.
WARLOCK: That's right. We've all been dreadfully worried about you.
SCARMAN: I came to find the other Scarman.
WARLOCK: The other? You mean your brother, Laurence?
SCARMAN: The human.
WARLOCK: Look here, old chap. If this is some kind of macabre joke?
SCARMAN: Where is the other Scarman, Warlock?
WARLOCK: Laurence went up to the house. That Egyptian servant of yours took a potshot at me! Laurence and the Doctor and some very plucky young girl went off to deal with the brute. They've been gone a devil of a time, mind you. I hope nothing's amiss.
SCARMAN: Who is the Doctor?
WARLOCK: One of Laurence's friends, I imagine. Some sort of scientist.
SCARMAN: Why does he interfere?
WARLOCK: Interfere? Now look here, Marcus
SCARMAN: All humans inside the deflection barrier will be destroyed.
WARLOCK: For heaven's sake, Marcus, what's wrong with you?
SCARMAN: Destroy this human.
WARLOCK: No, no, no! Laurence! Laurence! No!
CLEMENTS: Murdering swine.
SARAH: He's coming round.
DOCTOR: A parallax coil.
LAURENCE: What?
DOCTOR: I never expected that. A simple trap. Blew up in my face. Clever.
LAURENCE: He's delirious.
SARAH: No, shush.
DOCTOR: Never underestimate Sutekh. Thinks of everything.
DOCTOR: Where are we?
SARAH: Hiding.
DOCTOR: Where?
LAURENCE: A priest hole.
DOCTOR: In a Victorian gothic folly? Nonsense.
SARAH: You're so pedantic at a time like this. Does it matter?
DOCTOR: If only I knew the exact physical location of Sutekh. Where was your brother's expedition bound?
LAURENCE: Saqqara, I think. He wrote to say he'd discovered a blind pyramid in that region and believed it contained a mastaba.
SARAH: What?
LAURENCE: An underground burial chamber.
DOCTOR: Saqqara. Too vague, yet it might be our only chance.
SARAH: To do what?
DOCTOR: Sutekh is controlling operations here by mental force. With the equipment at the lodge, I could transmit a jamming signal.
SARAH: And block his power?
DOCTOR: With an etheric impulse projected along precisely the right axis, yes. Otherwise
SARAH: No good.
DOCTOR: The Egyptian's ring!
LAURENCE: What?
DOCTOR: It's a sl*ve relay. Calculating the reverse polarisation should be child's play. Why didn't I think of it?
SARAH: Shush. Listen.
SCARMAN: Remove this carcass. (sniffs) There are other humans within these walls. Seek and k*ll them.
SARAH: He's coming over.
LAURENCE: Marcus!
CLEMENTS: Professor Scarman!
SCARMAN: Seek and k*ll.
DOCTOR: All right, all clear.
LAURENCE: Where are we going?
DOCTOR: Shush. To find that Egyptian.
SARAH: We can't search the whole priory. There's no need to. Look.
SCARMAN: Follow me.
SARAH: What do you think they're doing?
DOCTOR: I'm not sure yet.
LAURENCE: This is exceedingly interesting, Doctor. It appears to be some kind of machinery.
DOCTOR: You're right. Yes, that's resonating tuner. Part of an anti-gravity drive. Oh! They must be building a rocket.
SARAH: Egyptian mummies building rockets? That's crazy.
DOCTOR: They're not mummies, they're service robots.
SARAH: Huh?
DOCTOR: Machines.
SARAH: Machines? All right then, why are machines building rockets?
DOCTOR: So that Sutekh can escape from the power of Horus.
SARAH: Where's Sutekh now?
DOCTOR: Exactly where Horus left him seven thousand years ago. Trapped beneath a pyramid and powerless to move.
LAURENCE: Great heavens! This is unbelievable. Totally unbelievable!
DOCTOR: You're going to say it transcends all the normal laws of physics.
LAURENCE: I am, yes. I mean, it does. It's preposterous!
DOCTOR: Isn't it. I often think dimensional transcendentalism is preposterous, but it works. Would you like to look around?
LAURENCE: May I?
DOCTOR: Please.
SARAH: Well now we are here, why don't you tune up 1980 and we can, well, leave.
DOCTOR: I can't.
SARAH: Ah. Why can't you?
DOCTOR: Because if Sutekh isn't stopped, he'll destroy the world.
SARAH: But he didn't, did he. I mean, we know the world didn't end in 1911.
DOCTOR: Do we?
SARAH: Yes, of course we do!
DOCTOR: All right. If we leave now, let's see what the world will look like in 1980.
LAURENCE: I say, this is like something by that novelist chap, Mister Wells.
DOCTOR: 1980, Sarah, if you want to get off.
SARAH: It's a trick!
DOCTOR: No. That's the world as Sutekh would leave it. A desolate planet circling a dead sun.
SARAH: It can't be! I'm from 1980.
DOCTOR: Every point in time has its alternative, Sarah. You've looked into alternative time.
LAURENCE: Fascinating. Do you mean the future can be chosen, Doctor?
DOCTOR: Not chosen, shaped. The actions of the present fashion the future.
LAURENCE: So a man can change the course of history?
DOCTOR: To a small extent. It takes a being of Sutekh's almost limitless power to destroy the future. Well?
SARAH: We've got to go back.
DOCTOR: Yes.
DOCTOR: Keep below the level of the window.
SCARMAN: Three humans within the deflection barrier have been destroyed. There are others.
SUTEKH (OOV.): Eliminate them.
SCARMAN: The servicers are searching for them, but assembly of the rocket is being delayed.
SUTEKH (OOV.): Destruction of the humans must not be allowed to delay the completion of the m*ssile. That is of paramount importance.
SCARMAN: Your orders will be ex*cuted, Sutekh. I will recall two of the servicers to the rocket assembly.
LAURENCE: I can't believe that my brother. He and Doctor Warlock were the closest of friends.
DOCTOR: Well, if you can stop thinking of him as your brother it'll make it a great deal easier for you.
LAURENCE: But he is my brother!
DOCTOR: From the moment he entered Sutekh's tomb he became subject to Sutekh's will.
LAURENCE: What does that mean?
DOCTOR: As a human being, Marcus Scarman no longer exists. He is simply the embodiment of Sutekh's power. He's given the paralysed Sutekh arms and legs, a means to escape.
SARAH: If Sutekh is so totally evil, why didn't Horus and the other Osirans destroy him?
DOCTOR: It's against their code. To have k*lled him would have meant that they were no better than he, so they simply imprisoned him.
SARAH: How?
DOCTOR: A forcefield, controlled from a power source on Mars.
LAURENCE: Mars?
DOCTOR: Yes. That's where the signal was beamed from, remember?
LAURENCE: But how?
DOCTOR: When your brother stumbled into Sutekh's tomb, the monitoring system on Mars detected the fact and triggered off an alarm signal.
SARAH: The rocket those robots are building!
DOCTOR: Yes. Will be aimed at the power source on Mars. If those warheads reach their target, Sutekh will have released himself.
LAURENCE: To destroy the world.
DOCTOR: Not only this world. Anywhere that life is found. Right. All I need now is a magneto.
LAURENCE: A magneto. Of course.
SARAH: What are you going to do?
DOCTOR: If I can block the mental beam, Scarman will collapse.
SARAH: You mean die?
DOCTOR: Well, he's not alive now in any real sense. Only Sutekh animates him. Deprived of his outside contact, Sutekh'll be as powerless as the day Horus left him.
LAURENCE: Here you are, Doctor.
DOCTOR: Splendid.
LAURENCE: What was that?
DOCTOR: Quick, Sarah, switch on the power.
LAURENCE: No, no, you'll destroy my brother!
DOCTOR: Switch on!
SUTEKH: Stop them!
SARAH: Doctor! Doctor!
SARAH: Doctor! Doctor!
