Laundry store
Keillor: Connect me with the Bannerman leader.
Gavrok (O.C.): Gavrok here. Go ahead.
Keillor: I understand you're offering a reward for the Chimeron queen.
Gavrok (O.C.): Affirmative. One million units.
Keillor: I've found her. She's at a place called Shangri La, in South Wales, Western Hemisphere, Earth. Now lock into this signal to guide you in.
Gavrok (O.C.): The reward will be yours when we arrive. End transmission.
Mel and Delta's chalet
Delta: Thank you.
Mel: What for?
Delta: For lending me your dress. For making an effort to be kind.
Mel: Oh, I'd help anyone in trouble, if I could.
Delta: Mel, there's something you should know.
Delta: My baby. My beautiful baby.
Laundry store
Keillor: What an unexpected bonus. You're the traveller in time they call the Doctor. Your death will make me richer still.
The Doctor: If you k*ll for money, let the girl go. She's worth nothing to you.
Keillor: I don't just k*ll for money. It's also something I enjoy.
Gavrok's spaceship
Gavrok: My bounty hunter will be paid off sooner than he thinks. Arm the beacon hunter.
Mel and Delta's chalet
Delta: My life's at risk. I'm going to trust you, and I think you deserve a full explanation. I think you'd better close the door.
Goronwy's cottage
Goronwy: Good morning. What a beautiful morning it is.
Weismuller: Sure is. By the way, have you er, have you seen anything weird fall out of the sky?
Goronwy: Oh dear me, no. I've seen many things fall out of the sky, but nothing which could be described as weird.
Hawk: What about lights? Anything like that?
Goronwy: Oh, there are strange lights in the night sky all the time. Not just the Aurora Borealis, mind, but low pulsing lights on occasions and low sh**ting stars.
Weismuller: Uh huh. Er, anything in the last day or so?
Goronwy: I shall ask my bees. They know everything that happens.
Hawk: Sure. Well, I reckon we've taken up enough of your time.
Goronwy: If you stayed a bit longer, young man, you might understand.
Goronwy: Take a look at this butterfly. Arguably one of the most beautiful creatures in the whole of nature. Yet if you were to see a pupae, you'd think it was the ugliest sight you've ever seen. But you can't have one without the other.
Mel and Delta's chalet
Delta: And so, I'm the last Chimeron queen. My planet is right now in the grip of the invaders. My people are dead. Poor Mel's exhausted. I think we'd better let her get some sleep. Billy, I feel like a walk.
Billy: Sure. The hills around here are beautiful. We can go somewhere really special.
Delta: But I can't walk too far with the baby.
Billy: I never said anything about walking.
Garage
Delta: What is it?
Billy: She's a Vincent. My pride and joy.
Laundry store
Ray: Oh, my head.
The Doctor: Do you feel all right? Nothing hurt or broken?
Ray: But, but what happened to that guy with the g*n?
The Doctor: I'm afraid he was paid in kind. You see this signal beacon? It exploded from the inside. Obviously the Bannermen locked into his signal and fired off a high impulse beam right along his transmission track.
Ray: So they, they k*lled him?
The Doctor: I'm afraid so. Ionised.
Ray: And this is all that's left of him.
The Doctor: Yes. A poignant reminder that v*olence always rebounds on itself. But we must warn the others that an att*ck is imminent.
Office
Vinny: Good morning. Let's start with a song. When the red, red robin comes bob, bob, bobbing along.
Mel and Delta's chalet
The Doctor: Mel, Mel, are you all right?
Mel: Hmm? Oh, nothing a good night's sleep wouldn't cure.
The Doctor: Well, I'm afraid that'll have to wait. Do you know where Delta and Billy have gone?
Mel: They didn't tell me. Billy was taking her to some beauty spot, I think.
The Doctor: Well, we've got to find them as quick as we can. And organise an evacuation of the camp. The Bannermen are on their way.
Mel: I'll get Murray to organise the tour party.
The Doctor: Good. But they'll be one short.
Ray: He was ionised.
The Doctor: Yes. But I must try and find Delta and Billy. Do you know where they might be, Ray?
Ray: Well, there are a couple of beauty spots in the area we could try. And also a few special places only known to Billy and me.
The Doctor: Well, we're going to have to keep looking for them until we find them. But first we must convince Burton to evacuate the camp. Mel, you find Murray. Ray, come with me.
Mel: Right.
By the river
Billy: Oh, you're a bit of a heavyweight, aren't you?
Delta: The most rapid growth occurs in the lymphoid state. She'll double her size and her weight in the next few hours.
Billy: Come on.
Office
Burton: Now, let me try and get this right. Now, are you telling me that you are not the Happy Hearts Holiday Club from Bolton, but instead are spacemen in fear of an att*ck from some other spacemen, and because of the danger, you want me to evacuate the entire camp?
The Doctor: An excellent summary, Mister Burton. Now, if you start right away, then we'll be able to get them to safety.
Burton: Oh well, if that is all that is needed, it should be easy. Oh, by the way, can we have space buns and tea afterwards? Or don't they drink tea on Mars?
The Doctor: I thought you might be a little skeptical. What can I do to convince you?
Burton: Oh, this is a waste of time, Doctor.
The Doctor: Listen, Mister Burton. If you don't act right away, innocent people will die! I will do whatever I can to convince you I'm not suffering from some sort of delusion.
Burton: All right, Doctor. Dan das sochivy.
Ray: Meinwyr, meinwyr.
Burton: How about showing us your spaceship, eh?
Ray: Oh, can I come too, Doctor?
The Doctor: Of course, but let's go quickly.
Outside chalet 108
Mel: Murray! Murray, wake up!
Murray: What's the matter?
Mel: There's an emergency, Murray. We have to get ready to leave as soon as the bus is fixed.
Murray: What kind of emergency?
Mel: The Bannerman warfleet's on its way.
Murray: You stay there. I'll get changed.
Mel: Okay.
Outside Shangri La
The Doctor: It's called a TARDIS, an acronym for Time And Relative Dimensions In Space.
Burton: Really? Couldn't we take it for a bit of a spin, Doctor?
The Doctor: Yes, with pleasure, but first things first. We must clear the camp.
Burton: Right.
Chalet area
Murray: Everybody out, campers! Attention! Everybody out! Listen, everybody out! Now look, we should quickly pack and then wait at the bus until we're ready to leave.
Bollit: Well, what's the big rush, Murray? It's nice here.
Murray: Truth is, there's a Bannerman w*r fleet on its way here. Nice and easy, folks. Don't panic! Nice and easy, nice and easy, don't panic.
The Doctor: I see you've got everything under control, Murray. We must go and see the crystal. If it's ready, then you must leave.
Murray: You won't see me for dust, Doctor.
Office
Burton: Good morning, everyone. This is a matter of some urgency.
Chalet area
Burton (O.C.): Could all staff, without exception, assemble in my office immediately. Could all employees...
Outside Shangri La
The Doctor: It's almost re-grown. Just another half hour. And then you've got to leave, whether I come back or not.
Murray: Back from where?
The Doctor: I've got to find Delta. Mel, you stay here and organise things. Come on, let's go, Ray.
The Doctor: Take care of the crystal!
Murray: Count on me, Doctor.
Office
Burton: I've call you all here at such short notice because we are facing a crisis. Now, what I would like you all to do is to go back to your chalets and pack whatever you need for one night. I have already ordered a bus to take us all away from here. You will spend the night in Llandrindod Wells and return in a day or so. Any questions? Splendid.
Vinny: I don't normally like running away, sir. What's up?
Burton: Ah, well, it's because we're facing an att*ck. It's because we are er, well, we are in danger, you know. Well, it's top secret. I've got a man here now from the Ministry of Defence, so look sharp, will you?
Vinny: Are you staying, sir?
Burton: Well, of course. They would have to drag me away from here, man.
Vinny: Then I'll stay too, Major.
Burton: Thank you, Vinny, but you will all have to go, and that is an order. Look sharp now. Off you go.
By the river
Billy: That noise she makes. It's almost like singing.
Delta: It's partly a song, and partly a defence mechanism.
Billy: Against the Bannermen.
Fern Dell
The Doctor: Did you come here with Billy often?
Ray: We called it Fern Dell. We used to play here as children. But I don't see his bike anywhere.
The Doctor: Could it be hidden?
Ray: Oh no, not the Vincent. It's just too big.
The Doctor: Well, they're not here. Come on.
Outside Shangri La
Burton: Come on! Don't stand about, but come on. Go on now. Come on, come on.
Mel: Fortunately they didn't have much packing to do. How's the crystal coming?
Murray: I'm trying to use mind power to make it grow faster, but I haven't had much luck.
Burton: I'm doing this with grave misgivings, but I cannot risk my staff for it.
Murray: Just like a captain, Mister Burton.
Burton: Major, actually. I am still not sure what I saw in that police box, but I cannot risk my staff for it.
Mel: You're doing the right thing.
Gavrok's spaceship
Gavrok: She's somewhere in that quadrant. It's a pity we had to destroy the beacon when we k*lled that mercenary. We'll have to scan the whole area until we find some trace of advanced technology emissions. But she will soon be dead.
Welsh countryside
Weismuller: You're wasting your time, Hawk.
Hawk: Well, it's better that stopping every stranger we find and asking them if they've seen our lost satellite.
Weismuller: But there's no point in listening to that radio. It stopped transmitting. That's why you and I have to look for that satellite.
Hawk: Then I'll listen to Voice of America. Anything's better than your yammering.
The Doctor: Excuse me! Have you seen a couple go by? A fellow on a big black bike and a lady with a green polka dot dress.
Weismuller: Mister, we haven't even seen a squirrel this morning.
The Doctor: Are there any other places, Ray?
Ray: Well, there is just one last chance.
The Doctor: Well, let's give it a try.
Outside Shangri La
Mel: Well, I don't know much about crystalline structures, but that looks about cooked.
Murray: Yes, looks ready to me, Mel. Well, here goes.
Country lane
Ray: Oh, this is the end of the road, Doctor. I don't know where else to try.
The Doctor: Ah, these tyre marks show a heavy motorcycle and sidecar. Come on.
By the river
Delta: If I can get the hatchling safely to the Brood planet, then I can take my case to judgement. They will then send an expeditionary force to get rid of Gavrok and his Bannermen.
Billy: Well, I'll do whatever I can to help, Delta.
Billy: That's Ray and the Doctor. They're sure in a hurry.
Delta: The Bannermen!
Ray: Oh, thank heavens!
Billy: Why is everyone in such a lather?
The Doctor: Found you at last.
Delta: Gavrok?
The Doctor: Yes. We overheard a space mercenary give the position of the camp. There's a price on your head.
Billy: Yeah? Well, where is this guy? I reckon we've got a score to settle.
Ray: He's been ionised.
The Doctor: Murray's fixing the bus. He shouldn't be long. Then you can leave. So we've got to go back now.
Gavrok's spaceship
Gavrok: Transmitter identified. Triangulate and set course.
Welsh countryside
Hawk: Ain't no use, Weismuller. There's nothing out there.
Weismuller: Well, I don't want to be an old I told you so, but if you had listened to me before...
Hawk: Hey, Weismuller, do you think that's it?
Weismuller: Well, I don't know. I ain't never seen a satellite before.
Weismuller: I always thought that they'd be smaller, somehow. Look, I don't know what's going on around here, but I think we'd better get out of here real fast.
Gavrok: Halt!
Weismuller: Oh, hi there. We weren't going anywhere.
Gavrok: Where is the Chimeron queen?
Hawk: Beats me, chief.
Weismuller: Hey, that's the property of Uncle Sam.
Gavrok: Where is he, your Uncle Sam?
Hawk: No, you don't understand.
Weismuller: Boy, you sure get sore real quick.
Gavrok: I will lead the main party. You two, guard them. Come.
Outside Shangri La
Murray: Well, we're all gassed up and ready to go.
Mel: Then you must leave at once, Murray.
Murray: What about the Doctor and Delta?
Mel: We can follow you in the TARDIS, wherever you go.
Murray: I know, but I feel bad about leaving you here. It's your last chance to hitch a ride.
Mel: No, I made an arrangement. I'd better stick to it. Thanks anyway.
Murray: Well, it's time to get this show on the road. As they say around here, see you later, alligator.
Mel: In a while, crocodile. Bye!
Murray: Bye!
Mel: Bye-bye!
Gavrok: So, one of them escaped.
Mel: You k*lled all those innocent people!
Gavrok: Was the Chimeron queen amongst them?
Mel: Yes. Yes, she's dead.
Gavrok: Would you lie?
Mel: You saw what happened to the bus. No one could have survived that!
Gavrok: That's right. The Chimerons are finished!
Delta: The Bannermen!
Gavrok: att*ck!
Mel: No!
Gavrok: You lied!
Burton: Stop! It would be extremely foolish of you to k*ll her. Keep her as a hostage. She's far more use to you alive.
Gavrok: k*ll any other survivors. Tie these two up. They will not be hostages, but bait.
Country lane
The Doctor: Stop, stop. Stop! Stop! He's not following us.
Ray: Mel's still in there, Doctor, and Burton.
The Doctor: My immediate objectives are to set them free and find Delta and the baby somewhere safe.
Billy: Can you hear something?
Ray: I can't hear anything.
The Doctor: Shush. Those marks behind her ear are high frequency antennae. What are you picking up?
Delta: It's not clear, but it's coming from down there.
Billy: There's nothing there except old Goronwy's place.
The Doctor: Does he keep bees?
Billy: Yeah. How did you know that?
Delta: It's his bees who are telling us to come.
The Doctor: Quick.
Welsh countryside
Weismuller: You think they would?
Weismuller: Nah, I don't think they would.
Outside Goronwy's cottage
The Doctor: I wonder if you could help us.
Goronwy: Of course, of course. I am Goronwy.
The Doctor: Oh, and I'm the Doctor.
Goronwy: Oh, there you are. Have some of that. Lovely.
The Doctor: Is it possible for these people to stay with you for a few hours?
Goronwy: Yes, of course. Come inside and have a cup of tea. Come along. There we are. I take it she likes a bit of honey.
The Doctor: I'm going to have to leave at once. I wonder if you could lend me a pillowcase and a broom handle.
Goronwy: Oh, I should think so.
The Doctor: Splendid. Oh, Billy, may I borrow your bike?
Billy: All right, Doctor, but try and be careful though, won't you?
The Doctor: I'll treat it as if it were the TARDIS.
Chalet area
The Doctor: How dare you! The white flag is the accepted signal for truce throughout the civilised universe! You may think that might is right, but I can assure you, you won't get away with it.
Gavrok: Who will stop me? You, with your puny flag and your appeals to fair play and justice, huh? I spit on your justice.
The Doctor: Your charm is only matched by your compassion.
Gavrok: Why should I not k*ll you right now?
The Doctor: Because you're in enough trouble already, Gavrok. Release those prisoners and I will testify that you showed some mercy.
Gavrok: Testify? You'll never get me to trial.
The Doctor: We agree to differ. But you should know that Delta has sworn a statement alleging invasion and genocide of the Chimerons. You will be brought to account, Gavrok, and made to pay for your actions.
Gavrok: Give me Delta and I will give you your life.
The Doctor: Life? What do you know about life, Gavrok? You deal in death. Lies, treachery and m*rder are your currency. You promise life, but in the end it will be life which defeats you.
Gavrok: You have said enough. I have traversed time and space to find the Chimeron queen. I will not be defeated.
The Doctor: As you will. I came here under a white flag and I will leave under that same white flag, and woe betide any man who breaches its integrity. Now step aside! Release those prisoners.
The Doctor: Gavrok, it's over. You're finished, and we're leaving.
The Doctor: Actually, I think I may have gone a little too far.
