I am your servant.

I am your servant.

I am your servant.

I am your servant.

So, Lesterson, they're even capable of speech.

Yes! But then, why not? After all, they have a certain intelligence.

- Yes, I know, but - But it is it is it is an intelligence that we can control.

So what you want is permission to continue your experiments? Governor, think what it would mean if we were to set it to work in the mines.

It could double our production overnight.

Consider the effects on our whole economy.

Yes, and the effect of that on Earth.

Yes Yes, they could be very grateful.

I shall stop you.

I will! All right, Lesterson.

Permission granted.

Permission? Permission for what? To continue my work, Examiner.

But But didn't you all hear what I said? - The Daleks must be destroyed! - Oh, never.

Very well.

If not by my order, then by Earth's! - Come, Ben, Polly.

- Examiner, just a moment.

Tell me Why are you so against this project? I've told you! I realise I can't give you any proof - but you've no idea of the danger.

- No! Yes! Danger! I shall be contacting Earth just as soon as radio communications have been restored.

You're my servant, are you? I am.

Very well.

Immobilise yourself! Go on, I order it! Immediately! Huh! Lesterson.

Why did you stop obeying? - You were given an order.

- He has gone.

- Then you obey only - His order was wrong.

I cannot serve human beings if I am immobilised.

You gave me power.

Your orders are right.

I serve you.

Lesterson! Lesterson, it reasons! - Just how limited is its intelligence? - There is no cause for concern.

Just you wait until you see the amount of work it can do.

Now I'm really going to put you through your paces.

Follow me, Dalek.

I obey.

- That's it! - We should have stayed with Quinn.

We couldn't have helped him even if we wanted to.

The Governor's reached his verdict.

But he didn't m*rder the real Examiner.

I'm sure he didn't.

This lot's too busy arguing amongst themselves to do much about anything.

Anyway, first things first.

The Daleks are the important thing.

Ah! Congratulations, Ben! What did I do? What did I do? You used your brains, that's what you did.

The Daleks are the most important thing.

I still think Quinn's innocent.

How can I be in league with the rebels? - The evidence confirms it.

- It was I that warned of their dangers.

You wouldn't take the matter seriously.

If I was wrong then, I have a chance to rectify it now.

- If that's your attitude I suggest we - Quinn! Let us conduct this inquiry in an orderly manner.

The Examiner was att*cked.

There is no question of that.

The button grabbed by the Examiner was missing from your suit.

If you've anything to add to that you'd better say it now.

I didn't att*ck the man.

I had no reason to.

I was the one that sent for him.

- You sent for him? - It was necessary.

Under the circumstances, I'd hardly be likely to sabotage the radio communications.

But why, Quinn? Why? Because of the rebels.

The rebels? They're nothing more than one or two fanatics.

Unless you're trying to create trouble here, to undermine the Governor's position.

Bragen you'd better explain that.

If you're removed, who takes your place? The Deputy Governor, of course.

And that's the real reason behind all this trouble, isn't it, Quinn? You att*ck the Examiner in the mercury swamp and blame it on the rebels.

Then you sabotage the radio, blame that on the rebels too.

Get him out of my sight! Hensell, before you listen to these preposterous allegations I chose Quinn myself.

I trained him for the job! Why, in a few years' time, he'd have had this seat.

Sometimes, Governor, a few years is a long time to wait.

- Oh, Bragen? - Governor? You will assume Quinn's duties.

As of now, you are Deputy Governor.

- Argh! - I hope you know what you're doing.

So do I.

Excellent.

Excellent.

I thought we were after the Daleks, not this control unit you nicked.

If only we could find a Ah! Yes! He's a right little delinquent, isn't he? Doctor, what on earth are you up to? - Ooh! - Ha! Now we're really getting somewhere.

Look, Doctor, I don't want to appear dim, but how's this gonna do the Daleks in? They think that Lesterson's the driving force.

- But I don't.

The Daleks are using him.

- But how? Problem.

Smash the Daleks and the people here will lock us up or k*ll us.

Let the Daleks go and we'll all be exterminated.

We could just go back to the Tardis.

At least we'd be safe to think there.

Yes, it's coming on.

Oh, you talk to him, will you? Doctor, look.

If you told us what you were up to, perhaps we could help you.

We mustn't underestimate any of them.

Lesterson's a first-class scientist.

First class.

He opened the capsule.

He realised that the Daleks could be reactivated.

Yeah, that could be the answer.

Let's kidnap Lesterson and hide him away for a bit.

It would stop him bringing the Daleks back to life, wouldn't it? I thought it was pretty bright.

- There we are.

- What is it? What is it? It could be the answer to all our problems.

Examiner, don't let them fool you about the rebels.

They're strong.

Find out where they hold their meetings! - Leave him alone! - All right, Polly.

- We'll help him, Polly, but later.

- Yes, but This is a case where a little injustice is better than wholesale slaughter.

What we want is in Lesterson's laboratory.

Come along.

Incredible! Let's move on to Test 14.

I am ready.

When sodium acts on ethyl-alcohol, what is the resulting derivative? Sodium ethoxide.

C2-H5-O-Na.

Just five seconds, Janley.

Just the time it took to speak the answer.

- It's right too.

- But of course it's right.

Can you imagine what kind of positronic brain this robot has, Janley? Think of the store of knowledge that it must carry.

Sulphuric acid.

- You see? - May I come in? - What do you want? - Oh, just to see how you're getting on.

- If you think that - No, please.

I'm not here to cause trouble.

I'm just interested.

You've done nothing but meddle ever since you landed on Vulcan.

I did give you permission to open up the capsule, didn't I? Please.

Carry on.

And you won't try to stop me? Stop you? No, of course not.

We got off on the wrong foot, Lesterson.

But I'm a reasonable man and I've been thinking perhaps I was hasty.

Well, if you really want to call a truce Truce? My dear fellow, I'd like to be friends.

Yes Yes, very well.

You may stay.

Oh, thank you.

Thank you.

Perhaps you'd like to amuse yourselves for a little while.

Laboratory.

Yes.

All right.

I can come now.

Right.

I just have to slip out for a few minutes, Lesterson.

All right? Yes.

Very well, then.

Shall we test its knowledge of physics? Splendid, splendid.

Please, please.

Thank you.

What is the first law of thermodynamics? When heat is transformed into any other kind of energy, or vice versa, the total quantity of energy remains invariable.

That is to say, the quantity of heat which disappears, is equivalent to the quantity of the other Fool! What do you think you are doing? - I'm saving your life! - Get out, get out! Ah! Ah, ah.

I have sustained no damage.

It's all right, it's simple.

- You were able to get away, then? - Lesterson's with the Examiner.

- And Hensell? - At a meeting of production managers.

- He left me in control.

- We could take over the colony now.

No.

No, it has to be absolutely right.

I don't want to take over a colony full of rebels, do I, Janley? I don't know.

You're making me help them.

Only to stir them up to create enough trouble to get rid of Hensell.

And then then we crush them.

The whole colony will be grateful and I'll be Governor.

- Is that the g*n you told me of? - Mm-hm.

Can you persuade the rebels this will help? Yes.

Valmar thinks he can work in a switch to turn it on and off.

- How powerful is it? - It k*lled Resno, Lesterson's assistant.

Lesterson believes that Resno is simply shaken up, taking a few days off.

- And the body? - In the mercury swamp.

Lesterson was the indirect cause of Resno's death.

It's a good hold over him if he makes trouble.

- I'll give this to Valmar, then? - Yes.

- When do we move? - I need another card in my hand.

- The Examiner bothers me.

- I thought Quinn was the danger.

Not any more.

But the Examiner's no fool.

No there has to be something else.

- Well? - He's not in the laboratory.

- Lesterson's by himself.

- He must have gone another way.

Can I leave it to you? I'm going back to the restroom.

- Somebody's got to clear it up.

- OK.

- Hello, there.

- Hello.

- You're Lesterson's assistant.

- Yes.

Are you looking for the Examiner? - Do you know where he is? - Waiting to get a message from Earth.

He's in the communications room.

- Um - You'll find it easy enough.

Around, then to your right in the next block.

Thanks very much.

Doctor? Anyone here? Well done, Valmar.

Hold her.

Hold her.

There.

That'll keep her quiet for a bit.

I've no idea who she is.

She was just snooping around.

I sent her.

We want her kept out of the way.

Get a couple of men to keep her in a safe place.

Now, this is what I told you about.

Yes.

The lethal power must come from here.

- Uh-huh.

- It should have quite a good range.

- Can you fix it? - Easy.

This could win us the revolution.

She said she was coming back here, and she wouldn't have wandered off.

I know she wouldn't! Ben If you were a Dalek, what would be your next move? - I'm talking about Polly! - Oh, no, no, no, no.

She's clever but she couldn't answer this.

- But she is missing! - Oh, no, no, no.

Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes! No, no, no.

She's looking around.

There's a lot to see in the colony.

She's interested.

I like that.

- Come on! - Where are we going? To report it! If we make a fool of ourselves, I don't care.

We report it! Yes.

Yes.

Yes, I managed to stop that fool of an Examiner just in time.

There are some people here who believe that you're an enemy.

I am your servant.

What does this machine do? You know, it's amazing.

You have an almost-human interest and curiosity.

A Dalek is bett is not the same as a human.

If I am to help, I must know everything.

Yes.

Yes, of course.

What is this machine? It computes meteorite storms as they approach our weather satellites.

How accurate is it? About 70%.

It helps to cut down on our satellite losses.

Daleks can build computers with 100% accuracy.

100%%? If you provide materials and our own power unit, a computer will be built.

100%? But that would be an enormous saving for the colony! Then you will get the materials? I'll go and speak to the Governor at once.

I will be ready to dictate the blueprint when you return.

That's marvellous! You agreed we'd go and see Bragen.

- Hm? Power.

- Well, come on, then! The energy intake for Daleks should be the cube - Now, then - Now what are you at? Talk to yourself.

Oh, it's useless with incomplete data! - Lesterson! He just went past.

- Eh? That means we can get into his laboratory again.

- But we're not - Come along, Ben.

Come along! There's somebody in there.

What are you doing here? Stand aside.

- Servants shouldn't question.

- Entry is restricted.

Not for me it isn't.

"Accord every access.

" I've got a badge.

- That is an order! - A Dalek order! Short-circuit the generator, Ben.

Ah, ah, ah, ah! Ah! - Stand back! - Don't be frightened of it, Ben! It's not armed.

I'm going to see what it was doing in there.

- Ben.

- What? Let's get out of here.

That fool Lesterson must've reactivated them.

Yes.

When I say run, run like a rabbit.

Run! I have sent the human being for materials.

- And power? - Yes.

Power we can turn into static.

Then we will conquer.

We will conquer! We will conquer! We will conquer! But if you didn't do it, Lesterson, the Dalek must've used your power supply and reactivated the others itself.

- I was going to do that anyway.

- Are you off your head? - Those two are armed! - Then we turn off the electricity, disarm them and then everything is safe again.

I've already explained Stop these arguments, both of you.

I've had enough.

I've every confidence in Lesterson.

He has carte blanche for the Daleks.

But they must be destroyed! Bragen, I'm making a tour of the perimeter.

I put you in direct charge here.

See that Lesterson gets everything he wants.

I shall need a permanent guard on my laboratory, Bragen.

Don't worry about the Examiner.

I think I can keep him quiet.

We've been forgetting about Polly.

Greed and ambition.

That's all it is.

Wait till they find out what their precious production figures have cost them! I wanna see you.

- What about? - It's Polly.

She's missing.

We can't find her anywhere.

I'll tell one of my men to make enquiries.

- It shouldn't take long to find her.

- Thanks.

Examiner Some of my men have found a body in the mercury swamp.

It was the body of a middle-aged man.

What is that to do with me? You're the Examiner.

Or maybe you're not.

Just exactly what do you mean by that? Who are you? Quinn's friends come to stir up rebellion? There's only one possible way that you could know I'm not the Examiner.

Yeah, by knowing what the real Examiner looked like.

Exactly, Ben.

Exactly.

Only two people knew of his arrival on this planet - - myself and his m*rder*r.

- That's enough.

- Is it? - Doctor, we've got to tell the Governor.

Do you think he'll believe you? I'll soon convince him you m*rder*d the man yourself.

You stole the Examiner's badge.

Then why don't you arrest us? Because there's a doubt, isn't there? Because it just might go against you! All right.

All right.

So neither of us wants to make a move.

But you leave Lesterson alone.

And the Daleks! He'd make a right Father Christmas, wouldn't he? I'd rather fight 100 of his sort than just one Dalek.

Listen to this.

"The girl is safe.

She will remain so as long as you leave the Daleks alone.

" And did you disarm the other two? Yes.

We are your servants.

We do not need g*ns.

I'm very glad.

I knew the Examiner was wrong about you.

Did you get our materials? Yes, everything you need you can have.

And a power plant? Everything.

We will get our power.

We will get our power! We will get our power! We will get our power! We will get our power!
