WARRIORS OF THE DEEP

BY: JOHNNY BYRNE

Part Two

First Air Date: 6 January 1984
Running time: 24:04

BULIC: After them!

TURLOUGH: Right, that should slow them down a bit.

TEGAN: We should have tried to help him.

TURLOUGH: We couldn't! Come on, let's get back to the TARDIS.

BULIC: Go round and get this door open.

GUARD: Sir.

BULIC: Commander, this is Bulic. I'm in the reactor.

SCIBUS: The warriors have survived.

NILSON: Nilson.

VORSHAK (OOV.): The three inv*de have att*cked the reactor in area E. I need you on the bridge at once.

NILSON: I'm on my way, Commander.

SOLOW: Nilson, who are the inv*de?

NILSON: I don't know, but with Vorshak distracted, it may be possible to activate Maddox sooner than we expected.

SCIBUS: There will be a short period of orientation.

ICHTAR: Excellent. When all is ready, I will instruct Sauvix and his Sea Devil warriors on the plan of att*ck.

TURLOUGH: Run!

TURLOUGH: Go, Tegan! Save yourself!

DOCTOR: You'll live.

SAUVIX: Sauvix, Commander of Elite Group One.

ICHTAR: Ichtar, sole survivor of the Silurian Triad, and my companions Scibus and Tarpok. We welcome the revival of our blood-related comrades.

SAUVIX: We are yours to command.

ICHTAR: All is prepared.

DOCTOR: What have you been eating?

NILSON: Have you found the intruders?

VORSHAK: One of them. He's being brought up now. I'd like you to be present at the interrogation.

NILSON: How did they breach our security?

VORSHAK: That's what I want you to find out.

TEGAN: Doctor, I thought you were d*ad.

DOCTOR: Yeah, so did I for a moment. Where's Turlough?

TEGAN: The guards caught him. We've got to help him.

DOCTOR: Yes, all right. First I must get you back to the TARDIS.

TEGAN: I want to help find Turlough.

DOCTOR: Yes, all right.

TEGAN: What have you been eating?

DOCTOR: Come along, Tegan.

ICHTAR: How soon will your warriors be ready for combat?

SAUVIX: Battle orientation automatically commenced the instant we were revived.

ICHTAR: Excellent, Sauvix.

TARPOK: Your plan of att*ck.

ICHTAR: Study it well, for the ape primitive base must be taken intact.

VORSHAK: Bridge.

GUARD (OOV.): The reactor's been s*ab, sir. We now have full power again.

VORSHAK: Thank you.

GUARD: Sir.

BULIC: This is Commander Vorshak, the senior officer on this base.

TURLOUGH: I've told

VORSHAK: Now listen, and listen carefully. You have a choice. Cooperate, tell us all you know, and you'll be treated honourably.

TURLOUGH: I am

VORSHAK: But should you remain stubborn, it'll be a long and painful business, so start talking.

TURLOUGH: I've told him, and now I'm trying to tell you. We are not enemy agents, saboteurs

NILSON: Then why were you attempting to destroy the reactor?

TURLOUGH: If the Doctor had intended to destroy it, it would be lying in pieces at your feet.

DOCTOR: Good. Now, you must stay outside, Tegan.

TEGAN: Why?

DOCTOR: Shush.

TEGAN: What in the world can I hope to achieve out here?

DOCTOR: My peace of mind. Please, Tegan, don't argue. Now, I don't need to tell you what to do should anything go wrong.

TEGAN: No, Doctor. Good luck, Doctor.

DOCTOR: Yes, thank you.

TURLOUGH: The TARDIS, it, it's a kind of ship. I know it doesn't seem to make much sense, but that's how we got here.

NILSON: He's insulting our intelligence, trying to convince us he's nothing more than a lost tourist.

BULIC: If you'd nothing to hide, why didn't you declare yourselves to us immediately.

TURLOUGH: We were trying to.

VORSHAK: What do you think?

NILSON: He may be telling the truth, though I doubt it. But we can't be sure without delving deeper into his mind.

VORSHAK: Then see to it, Nilson.

NILSON: Take him to the PS unit.

TURLOUGH: Doctor!

DOCTOR: I wouldn't, if I were you. Well, gentlemen, it seems we have a problem.

PRESTON: Good heavens. Look, there's another door. Search through there.

BULIC: Your move, Doctor.

DOCTOR: So it seems. Perhaps it's time for a little mutual trust.

DOCTOR: Turlough was telling the truth.

VORSHAK: Bridge.

PRESTON (OOV.): We've found the intruder's craft. It's amazing. It isn't of this planet.

VORSHAK: Is it armed?

PRESTON (OOV.): Not that we can tell.

VORSHAK: Well, leave a guard on it. Return to the bridge.

DOCTOR: Well, Commander?

VORSHAK: Well, it seems the boy was telling the truth after all.

SAUVIX: The warriors are armed and at their stations.

ICHTAR: Excellent, Sauvix. It is time to begin.

PRESTON: You want something?

VORSHAK: All right, I believe you're not hostile.

DOCTOR: Thank you.

VORSHAK: But that doesn't mean I trust you. I should like to see a demonstration of your ship.

DOCTOR: When I've repaired her.

PRESTON: Commander, the third member of the crew. I found her lurking outside.

TURLOUGH: Are you all right?

KARINA: Commander, the screen.

KARINA: It's heading towards the base.

VORSHAK: Is that the thing we picked up before?

KARINA: Yes, sir.

MADDOX: We're getting a clear sensor scan. It is a ship of some kind, but definitely not one of ours.

VORSHAK: Prepare to f*re energy tracers.

DOCTOR: No, don't!

VORSHAK: You recognise it?

DOCTOR: Yes. You mustn't att*ck.

VORSHAK: You're hardly in a position to give orders, Doctor.

BULIC: Ready to f*re, Commander.

DOCTOR: Do so and you'll regret it. I know what that ship is.

VORSHAK: You're telling us not to defend ourselves?

DOCTOR: I'm telling you you have no defence. That's a Silurian battle cruiser.

PRESTON: Silurian?

DOCTOR: The race that ruled this planet long before your species evolved.

BULIC: Do we f*re, sir?

DOCTOR: Trust me. You must try and make contact with it, find out what they want.

VORSHAK: It's not what they want, it's what I want, Doctor. And I want to keep them away. Open f*re.

TARPOK: The deflector is locked on to their energy beam. Their external w*apon system is now suppressed.

ICHTAR: Proceed as planned.

VORSHAK: f*re again. f*re again!

BULIC: Energy systems are d*ad.

VORSHAK: You knew that would happen.

DOCTOR: I did try and warn you.

PRESTON: What have they done?

DOCTOR: It's a particle suppressor. They turned your energy beam back on you. They could have blown this base apart. They certainly have enough reason to.

TARPOK: We are in position.

ICHTAR: Release the Myrka. Sauvix, proceed to your station. When the Myrka begins its work, you and your warriors commence the att*ck on the main entry point.

VORSHAK: I want damage reports as soon as possible. Maddox, set the computer to analyse the Silurian w*apon.

MADDOX: Sir.

TEGAN: When did you meet the Silurians, Doctor?

DOCTOR: A long time ago. I let them down then, it seems I'll do so again.

TEGAN: Are they hostile?

DOCTOR: They're honourable. All they ever wanted to do was live in peace.

MADDOX: It doesn't compute, sir.

DOCTOR: Commander.

VORSHAK: Yes, what is it?

DOCTOR: You can't fight them.

VORSHAK: I can try.

DOCTOR: Inform your people. Let them know what's going on down here.

VORSHAK: I can't do that. I must maintain radio silence. I can't risk revealing the Sea Base's position to the enemy.

DOCTOR: Friend or enemy, it's a distinction that's lost on the Silurians, I assure you. To them you're all the same. Ape-descended primitives. An evolutionary error they obviously mean to correct.

VORSHAK: Bridge.

GUARD (OOV.): Commander, there's something outside airlock one. It's trying to force the outer door.

VORSHAK: Stay there. Get a team down there. Preston, deploy the duty guards to cover all the other airlocks.

PRESTON: Yes, Commander.

DOCTOR: Let me go with them. I know the Silurians. If I can talk to them, we may be able to avoid bloodshed.

VORSHAK: You can try, but remember we have no reason to trust you. Watch him. The first sign of treachery, k*ll him.

PRESTON: Any sign of entry?

GUARD: No, ma'am.

BULIC: Any change?

GUARD: No, sir.

BULIC: The magnetic locks on the outer door are blown. They're in the airlock.

TEGAN: How can you tell?

BULIC: The a*t*matic pumps have started up.

VORSHAK: Bridge.

PRESTON (OOV.): Airlock five is also under att*ck, Commander.

VORSHAK: I'll come down at once. Karina, put the reserve team on combat alert. Maddox, stand by for sync up. We may have to contact Sea Base Command after all.

NILSON: But Commander, if we do

VORSHAK: The Doctor may be right. If he is, these creatures are a thr*at to all mankind.

SOLOW: Nilson, we must speak.

SOLOW: The base is on w*r alert.

NILSON: It's all right. While Vorshak is busy, I'm in command of the bridge.

SOLOW: Are we going to activate Maddox?

NILSON: Yes.

SOLOW: What about the Silurians? What if they manage to break in?

NILSON: We shall neutralise the Sea Base whatever happens, and with the help of Maddox we'll destroy all vital circuitry to do with m*ssile and communications.

BULIC: Take up defensive positions.

TURLOUGH: Will it hold?

BULIC: I wouldn't count on it.

KARINA: Are you all right? Maddox. Maddox.

NILSON: Doctor Solow will take care of Maddox.

KARINA: But he's needed here.

NILSON: I'm afraid in his present state he's useless.

KARINA: Shall I inform the Commander?

NILSON: No, no, no, no. I'll do that. You just return to your duties. I'm sure Doctor Solow will have Maddox back at his terminal as soon as possible.

TEGAN: What if these Silurians don't want to listen, Doctor?

DOCTOR: Look on the bright side, Tegan.

DOCTOR: Oh dear.

TEGAN: What is it?

DOCTOR: The Myrka.

VORSHAK: Well?

PRESTON: Commander, they're inside the airlock.

VORSHAK: That didn't take long.

KARINA: What are you doing here?

SOLOW: His duty, as I dictate it.

KARINA: Sabotage. Maddox, stop it! Maddox, can you hear me? Stop it!

KARINA: No!

NILSON: Now k*ll her, Maddox.

BULIC: Take aim.

DOCTOR: I'm afraid the Myrka takes quite a lot to impress.

BULIC: f*re!

BULIC: We h*t it.

TEGAN: He must have k*lled it.

DOCTOR: Tegan!

BULIC: f*re again.

DOCTOR: Are you all right?

TEGAN: How would you feel if you'd had a door fall on you?

DOCTOR: Anything damaged?

TEGAN: My dignity.

DOCTOR: Turlough, help me!

TURLOUGH: It's no good, we can't lift it.

DOCTOR: Keep back. Don't let it touch you.

DOCTOR: Bulic, get your people out of here!

BULIC: Clear the airlock!

DOCTOR: You too, Turlough.

TURLOUGH: But Tegan

DOCTOR: Get out!

TEGAN: You go as well, Doctor.

DOCTOR: I'm not leaving you.

TEGAN: There's no point in us both dying.

DOCTOR: Who's talking about dying?

BULIC: The creature's in, sir, and our w*apon are useless against it.

VORSHAK (OOV.): Use grenades.

BULIC: The Doctor and the girl are trapped in the airlock.

VORSHAK (OOV.): Has the creature passed the bulkhead door?

BULIC: No, sir.

VORSHAK (OOV.): Then close it! Seal the bulkhead off immediately.

TURLOUGH: No!

VORSHAK (OOV.): What do you mean, no? Do it! The safety of the Base depends on it.

TURLOUGH: No, wait.

DOCTOR: One last try.

DOCTOR: Thank you so much.

TEGAN: They've sealed us up!

DOCTOR: Brave heart, Tegan.

TEGAN: Brave heart? That thing's going to k*ll us.
