(Opening titles)
(Bad Wolf command deck)
Ensign Prelukov
Inbound missiles.
Commander Nierto
Destroy them
Ensign Prelukov
Impossible to get a weapons lock sir.
Captain Frunell
Scramble intercept fighters. Initiate emergency procedures.
Romana
Where did the missiles come from?
Ensign Prelukov
Sensors indicate, Martian surface miss.
Captain Frunell
Send a detachment at once!
Doctor
No. K9, take Romana and Rose to the TARDIS/
Rose
/But I/
Doctor
/I’ll be along in a minute, now go.
(the 3 exit)
Doctor
Get your ship out of danger captain, that’s your priority, we will investigate down there.
Commander Nierto
Sir you can not/
Captain Frunell
/You heard the man, take us out toward the asteroid belt. Doctor you will report back to me as soon as you make any progress.
Doctor
Of course.
Captain Frunell
Oh and Doctor
Doctor
Yes?
Captain Frunell
Good luck.
(Outside the TARDIS)
Rose
Here let me.
Romana
Thank you but I have a key already.
(Romana produces the “ankh” shaped key (Pertwee, Baker, McGann))
Rose
Yeh because that looks like it will fit the lock.
(Romana holds the key in front of the lock, the lock mutates to accommodate the new key, the 2 enter into the wooden, secondary console room.)
Rose
What the hell’s this?
(Romana inserts the key into the top of the console, the room fully illuminates, the console doors unlock. The Doctor enters)
Doctor
Secondary control room.
Romana
You don’t mind me using the back door do you?
Doctor
Not at all.
Rose
I so don’t get this.
Doctor
Well, basically, the only the exterior of the TARDIS exists as a real space-time event and has only one door but that door is grafted to the interior continuum at several points. Different keys take you too different points.
Rose
Glad that was the basic explanation.
Romana
This key is the master.
Doctor
Yes, that takes me back, haven’t used this one of these in ages, or this console room for that matter.
Rose
So, now what?
Doctor
To Mars I think.
Rose
Fine, I’ll get space suites.
Doctor
Why?
Rose
There’s no air.
Doctor
Isn’t there?
Rose
Of course not, we’ve checked with all those probes and satellites.
Romana
Have you been to Mars?
Rose
No
Romana
Then how do you know?
Rose
Because I was told, we were told.
Doctor
Don’t believe everything you’re told.
(View of the TARDIS dematerialising.)
(Green radar screen, unseen voices.)
Brother Trall
They are in retreat Father Brellan. Should we destroy them?
Father Brellan
No, the lord has other designs for now. He comes, he comes!
(A cathedral court yard style scene, red mountains behind and a pink sky. Howling winds blow overhead and distant sounds of thunder. The TARDIS materialises. The group exit)
Doctor
See, me, breathing.
Rose
Wow, look at that sky.
Romana
Listen to that wind.
Doctor
Or, more immediately, look at this building.
Rose
It’s like a church.
Doctor
It is a church, well a monastery.
Rose
What’s a monastery doing on Mars?
Doctor
Well, what do they do anywhere really?
Romana
There can’t be many visitors.
Doctor
Certainly excluded.
(Brother Trall approaches)
Brother Trall
Greetings, travellers and welcome.
Rose
Welcome where?
Brother Trall
Why to the brotherhood of course. Please, follow me, and er/
Doctor
/What?
Brother Trall
This is a holy place Doctor, no pets.
Doctor
Oh, of course, sorry. K9, TARDIS duty.
K9
Affirmative master.
(The group follow the monk across the courtyard.)
Rose
How did he know who you are?
Doctor
Clairvoyance?
Rose
Seriously?
Doctor
I don’t know but I’m going to find out.
(The group are lead into a large library)
Brother Trall
I must leave you in the company of Brother Marce for a time, whilst I inform Father Brellan of your arrival.
(Brother Trall exits)
Doctor
Good, great, where is Brother Marce?
Romana
In here I suppose. It’s an impressive collection.
(The group start to move down one of the stacks.)
Doctor
Ha!
Rose
What?
Doctor
No one would have believed towards the last years of the nineteenth century, that human affairs were/
Rose
That’s appropriate.
Romana
Not quite living up to the Martian stereotype are they?
Doctor
Maybe not. But do you know what’s real interesting about this book?
Romana
It’s stance on colonialism?
Doctor
It hasn’t been written yet.
Rose
Here’s another one, look. To Kill A Mockingbird. Studied that at school once.
Doctor
Awwwwwww.
Romana
Doctor.
Doctor
What?
Romana
Something of interest here.
Doctor
What’s that?
Romana
The Days of Rassilon, a biography.
Doctor
That’s not possible.
Romana
And here, The Arcalian, Patrexe and Prydonian registers.
Doctor
How did those books get out of the Panoptican archive.
Romana
They can’t have survived the inferno surely?
Rose
More to the point what are they doing here?
Doctor
What are any of these books doing here?
(Appearing from behind the stack enters Brother Marce)
Doctor
Ah, good, perhaps you could help us.
Brother Marce
Only if you promise to help me Doctor.
Doctor
What’s going on here?
Brother Marce
Promise me!
Doctor
I can’t promise anything until I know what’s going on.
(Cut to the group sat at a table elsewhere in the library.)
Brother Marce
They don’t tell me everything.
Rose
Just tell us what you can.
Brother Marce
Father Brellan, our leader, left the monastery nearly a year ago to find….
Doctor
What?
Brother Marce
He never said. But he returned 4 months ago, aboard a star ship.
Romana
The missing scientists!
Doctor
Where is this ship now?
Brother Marce
I don’t know.
Doctor
Have any other people arrived here recently?
Brother Marce
No, and, Father brought know one else with him.
Doctor
No one?
(pause)
Brother Marce
The sisters.
Rose
Who are they?
Brother Marce
Father Brellan brought the sisters and they brought the darkness.
Father Brellan (entering)
Brother Marce, hadn’t you better be moving along to the sacred shrine?
Brother Marce
Yes Father. Goodbye, I hope I was of some help.
Father Brellan
That’s enough Brother.
(Brother Marce exits)
Doctor
You must be Father Brellan.
Father Brellan
That I am. I trust you have been well looked after?
Doctor
Can’t complain. But tell me/
Father Brellan
/Yes?
Doctor
How did you convince the sisters of the flame to help you bring the eye of harmony here?
Rose
From Karn?
Romana
Of course, the sisters brought the darkness.
Doctor
And only their level of telekinetic power could balance the eye within the planet, and hide said planet.
Father Brellan
The Doctor is a knowledgeable man.
Doctor
And that’s another thing, how is it that you all know my name?
Father Brellan
To fight the beast, we must know the beast.
Rose
Beast, him?
Doctor
Hey.
Father Brellan
The dawn of the devil’s arrival has been a long awaited event.
Doctor
Really. Well as I’m here perhaps you could answer one more question.
Father Brellan
Perhaps.
Doctor
Where did you get all of these books from?
Father Brellan
The holy shrine of course.
Doctor
Of course.
Father Brellan
Perhaps you would care to accompany me there now?
Doctor
I think I will. You 2 get back to the TARDIS and wait there, contact Frunell and fill him in.
Rose
Will you be okay?
Doctor
When am I not.
(Rose and Romana leave)
Doctor
I’m all yours.
(Cut to courtyard)
Rose
What do you think these brothers are all about then?
Romana
I don’t know but those books…
Rose
What?
Romana
They must have some sort of access to a time funnel, or something similar, to be able to pluck specific items from time.
Rose
They didn’t strike me as being that high-tech.
(The 2 cry out as they are ambushed by monks at the TARDIS and carried away.)
(Entering the main Cathedral hall)
Doctor
Well I’m sorry to disappoint you but as far as beast go I’m not that… wow! Bit dark isn’t it?
Father Brellan
Allow me.
(Archways illuminate across the walls with the sisters of the flame suspended within.)
Doctor
What have you done to them?!
Father Brellan
It was necessary for the greater good. The scientists rescued them from Karn, I asked for their, assistance, they refused.
Doctor
So you took the power you needed by force! Captain Frunell will be interested to hear about this.
Father Brellan
Really. Frunell of the good ship Bad Wolf?
(A hologram of the ship on space appears between the 2)
Father Brellan
Let’s see just how interested he will be.
(The archways begin to glow.)
(Bad Wolf command deck)
Ensign Prelukov
Sir! Massive energy displacement amidships!
Captain Frunell
Evasive Pattern 4, move her ensign!
(View the ship exterior, a huge explosion erupts from the centre of the ship, the resulting halves drift apart and begin to explode also. Cut to cathedral.)
Doctor
There is a beast here Father Brellan, but it isn’t me.
(The arch ways cease to glow.)
Father Brellan
It was the will of God.
Doctor
God! What sort of God condones this? What sort of God, gives its worshippers access to time funnel technology? What sort of God needs the eye of Harmony?
Father Brellan
So many questions.
Doctor
Precious few answers though. What have you done with the earth? Where is the eye?!
Father Brellan
HA-HA-HA-HAAAAA.
Doctor
What sort of brotherhood this?!
Father Brellan
We represent the light of purity, the bringer of death. We are the Brotherhood of Dalek and you shall be exterminated!
(The cathedral lights to reveal a Dalek idol.)
(We see Rose and Romana being thrown into a closed room with various sealed doors and shutters around the walls and ceiling.)
Rose
Now what?
Romana
We wait.
(Back in the Cathedral)
Doctor
That’s an actual Dalek.
Father Brellan
You will bow Doctor!
Doctor
Or at least an actual Dalek casing.
Father Brellan
I said bow!
(The arch ways glow and the doctor is forced to bow, then rise)
Father Brellan
You should show more respect Doctor.
Doctor
Or what?!
Father Brellan
Or you will not be saved.
Doctor
Saved?
Father Brellan
Yes, as your friend soon will be.
(In Rose and Romana’s room, the door ways open to reveal a mass of electronic surgical arms.)
Doctor
What have you done to them?
Father Brellan
They will become our lord’s new disciples.
Doctor
No. You don’t even know how.
Father Brellan
This is why we must test the system Doctor. The Lord has delivered you and your friends too us for that same reason.
Doctor
You fool!
Father Brellan
I think not.
(Enter 6 ad-hoc Daleks, dripping with blood from their vents and joints, groaning)
Father Brellan
Our first attempts to ascend met with limited success as you can see.
Doctor
The crew from Z’Bon.
Father Brellan
Now God’s winged messengers.
Doctor
I am so sorry.
Dalek 1
I see…I see….
Doctor
Stop this!
Dalek 2
We…see….
Dalek 3
So dark….
Doctor
I said stop it!
(In the room)
Rose
Any ideas
Romana
Do you know the words to nearer my got to thee?
Rose
No
Romana
Those in peril in time and space?
Rose
No
Romana
What do you no the words to?
Rose
I lost my heart to a star ship trooper.
Romana
I’m sure you have.
(The 2 clasp hands and close their eyes)
(In the cathedral)
Dalek 6
Alone…
Dalek 5
So alone…
Doctor
Can’t you see what you’ve done to these people?
Father Brellan
They will be as gods!
Doctor
No! They will be as…as people. These aren’t Daleks, they’re still people, a Dalek has to be grown not just thrown into a shell.
Father Brellan
Fascinating
Doctor
What did this to you?
Father Brellan
What?
Doctor
Why are you doing this? Who are you?
Father Brellan
I am your salvation Doctor, yours and everybody’s!
(In the room the instruments close in of Romana and Rose)
(The instruments retreat through their doors. The main doors open to reveal Brother Marce, K9 and a number of unconscious brethren)
Marce
Hurry, time is short.
Romana
Thank heavens for that.
Rose
What?
Romana
I was worried my last words were going to be I lost my heart to a star ship trooper.
K9
Urgency is required mistress.
Romana
Why aren’t you in the TARDIS?
K9
Communication from the Lady Leela ordered me to follow.
Romana
Leela? What’s wrong?
K9
She said not to worry mistress, she would handle it.
Rose
Famous last words. Where’s the doctor?
Brother Marce
He was taken to the Cathedral with Father Brellan.
Rose
Then let’s go!
(In a corridor of the Panoptican a huge laser bolt fight is taking place.)
Lady Leela
This is Lady Leela general of the North, I order you to stand down!
Rebel 1
I suspect the Castellan has ordered otherwise my lady.
Lady Leela
Then we must push on!
(The rebels charge through the now smoke screened corridor cheering.)
(In the presidential apartments the castellan is in full presidential regalia)
Castellan
Not long now commander Pronie.
Commander Pronie
No sir, but the rebels/
Castellan
Evacuate the infected areas, fill them with flame.
Commander Pronie.
But sir!
Castellan
You have your orders!
Commander Pronie
Yes sir.
(The commander exits)
Castellan
I’ll show that barbarian what a battle looks like!
(In the corridors of the Panoptican Leela and the others are catching their breath when a ball of flame begins to engulf the other end of the corridor.)
Lady Leela
Run!
(External view of the Panoptican tower as flame explodes from several windows. From his window in the presidential apartments)
Castellan
It is done.
(In the Cathedral)
Doctor
You no nothing about salvation!
Father Brellan
You are the devil. Who are you to question me.
Doctor
I’ve met the devil and believe me you’ve opened a much bigger Pandora’s Box by bringing me here.
Father Brellan
Really Doctor, then by all means demonstrate your power.
Doctor
Don’t challenge me Brellan
Father Brellan
Or what Doctor?
Doctor
Or I will destroy you.
(Elsewhere in the monastery, in a series of cloisters.)
Rose
What are all these cables for?
Brother Marce
I don’t know. He, they don’t tell me.
Romana
K9?
K9
Large amounts of psycho-electric energy are being channelled within the conduits mistress.
Romana
To where?
K9
A large structure, 400 metres north east of our present location.
Brother Marce
The Cathedral!
Rose
Can you take us there?
Brother Marce
Yes, follow me.
(The group begin to run, K9 brings up the rear.)
(Outside the Cathedral Doors)
Rose (looking through the key hole)
The Doctor’s in there and…Daleks!
Romana
Let me see. The sisters!
Rose
From Karn?
Romana
Yes. K9 cut the cables.
(Enter Brother Trall)
Brother Trall
Well what have we here?
Brother Marce
Brother Trall, I as endeavouring to help the young ladies find their friend, I’m sure you were.
(Trall throws a blade, killing Marce)
Romana
K9!
(K9 shoots Trall dead)
Rose
He wanted our help.
Romana
Cut the cables.
K9
Affirmative.
(K9 begins to cu the cables with his laser)
Rose
It’s the same where ever we go. Always.
Romana
And it will be, as long as you stay with the Doctor.
(K9 is half way through the cables)
(In the Hall)
Father Brellan
You have no power here Doctor. Will you kneel before your God?
Doctor
I’d rather die!
Father Brellan (pulling a sword from the shrine)
Then so be it.
(We see K9 close to completely cutting the cables)
Father Brellan
Any last words Doctor?
(K9 completes the cutting)
(The arch ways glow and the doctor is lifted from his feet)
Father Brellan
What?!
Sister Liara
Sacred flame.
All sisters
Sacred Fire!
(The sword is dissolved)
Doctor
It’s over Brellan!
(Father Brellan runs for the doors and throws them open, knocking Rose to the floor)
Father Brellan
I may yet be saved Doctor!
Romana
What’s going on?
Doctor
Stay with the sisters.
(The doctor pursues father Brellan)
Rose
But/
Romana
/You heard him. Now we need…good grief.
(The sisters begin to levitate from their archways to form a ring around the central shrine whilst continuing their chant. The shrine dissolves to reveal a contained element of the time vortex)
Romana
The time scoop.
Rose
That’s how they got all of those books.
(The scoop disperses, the sisters continue to chant as each bursts into a transparent flame. We see a view of space into which the earth now dissolves. We see the Bad Wolf a drift in 2 halves, a heavily damaged command deck and dead crew, the ship is reconstituted and the crew revived. The sisters cease, sister Liara approaches Rose)
Sister Liara
Where is the Doctor?
(We see Brellan run into a control room, activate a panel and disappear into the room with the many doors, the doctor follows but not before the main door closes. He pounds on the door)
Doctor
Brellan you don’t have to do this! The Daleks are not your gods! Please!
(In the room)
Father Brellan
I shall serve with my every breath.
Doctor
Brellan!
Father Brellan
And I shall walk with the Gods.
(Outside the door agonised screams are heard as the doctor collapses to his feet. Then silence, then the doors open)
Brellan Dalek
Help….me
(Blood pours from the vents below it’s head with each syllable.)
Doctor
You foolish man!
Brellan Dalek
I feel! I feel! Help me! I am as God, I am as God, Help me!
Doctor
I can’t
Brellan Dalek
Help me.
Doctor
I can’t.
Brellan Dalek
I am…I see…darkness.
(The doctor types a command into the controls as the other 6 Daleks enter he leaves, the doors to the control room close behind him.
All Daleks
Help us!
(The doctor activates the sonic screwdriver)
Brellan Dalek
Free!
(The control room explodes)
(Outside the TARDIS)
Rose
What was that?!
Romana
The Doctor.
(She enters the TARDIS as sister Liara talks to Rose)
Sister Liara
The eye now rests within the Doctor’s TARDIS. The sisters and eye will travel to Gallifrey to install it in its rightful place.
Rose
What about the Earth
Sister Liara
She will recover.
(Romana poke her head back around the door)
Romana
I’ve told captain Frunell that the eye has been destroyed; he’s taking the Bad Wolf home for maintenance. He seemed to think they had an oxygen recycling fault, apparently the entire crew lost consciousness.
(The Doctor arrives)
Rose
You alright?
Doctor
The man was a fool.
Rose
Still it’s over now. We can take the eye back.
Sister Liara
We are glad to be of assistance.
Romana
What about the other brethren?
Doctor
They’ll go back to their former worship, Brellan was the only one forcing them to do otherwise, like Marce.
Romana
Home?
Doctor
Home.
(The group enter the TARDIS and the door closes as it dematerialises.)
(In the seal hall of the Panoptican, the high council is surrounded by armed guards as the Castellan enters in full presidential attire,)
Castellan
Well?
(A reluctant time lord approaches carrying the artefacts)
Time Lord
Do you swear to protect the ancient and worshipful law of Gallifrey, with all your/
(The speech is interrupted as the main doors are flung open)
Lady Leela
I object!
Time Lord
Thank Rassilon for that.
(Leela and the others are stopped in their tracks by a force field)
Lady Leela
Stop this!
Castellan
Continue or you and your friends will be killed. You can’t stop it now lady Leela, once I have that coronet you will be powerless to stop me!
(A familiar sound is heard as the TARDIS materialise at the centre of the large seal on the floor)
Castellan
Finish the ceremony now!
(Romana steps out of the TARDIS at a brisk pace followed by the others.)
Castellan
You’re Excellency.
(Romana punches him, knocking him out)
Romana
That is my best frock!
(The Doctor and Rose look in amazement)
Romana
What? He altered my best frock!
(The guards lower the force field)
Lady Leela
And if you think you will not be punished you are mistaken, to your barracks, go!
(The guards disperse)
Lady Leela
Doctor!
Doctor
General Leela!
Lady Leela
Lady Leela now, honorary Time Lord.
Rose
Another old friend?
K9 MK1
Master
Doctor
K9!
Rose
Blimey is there anyone you haven’t given one of those to?
Doctor
Well/
Rose
/All you ever get me is chips.
Doctor
All you ever want is chips!
Councillor Prylek
Excellency was your mission a success?
Romana
Sisters?
(The sisters surround the seal and begin to chant as the entire circle opens to reveal a blinding light into which the TARDIS descends. In the control room all systems move to full power and in the hall the flaming torches are doused as light beams from the ceiling. The seal closes and the TARDIS materialises in it’s former position)
Councillor Prylek
Glorious! Then I ma happy to inform you that the Doctor’s sentence has been commuted.
Doctor
Oh great!
Councillor Prylek
To exile. Please leave this world and do not return!
(The councillor and other time lords leave the hall)
Romana
Just like old times then.
Doctor
It seems that way.
Lady Leela
We can try and have the sentence reduced.
Doctor
No, it’s alright, I’m used to it, it’s nice to know I even have a home to be exiled from.
Lady Leela
We will meet again Doctor.
Doctor
Warrior instinct?
Romana
Statement of fact. Goodbye Doctor.
Doctor
Good bye, both of you. Goodbye K9s!
K9 MK1 + K9 MK2
Goodbye master!
Rose
Will it always be the same?
Romana
It’s worth finding out for yourself.
(The Doctor and Rose enter the TARDIS and it dematerialises)
(In the large console room)
Rose
Will you go back?
Doctor
One day, maybe.
Rose
Aren’t you upset?
Doctor
They hate me, all of them, even Romana has…
Rose
I wonder if we’ll ever find evidence of religion on Mars.
Doctor
Who says you already haven’t?
Rose
What?
You never asked me what they worshiped originally, before Dalek. I saw it on the scanner as we took off.
Rose
Saw what?
(In the courtyard on Mars to Brothers talk)
Brother 1
We must prepare a pilgrimage to the peak the holy visage at once and seek forgiveness.
Brother 2
He will forgive. In time.
(The 2 look at the peak of the mountain which shadows the monastery, the camera zooms out toward space revealing the mountain from above, the famous “Martian Face” looking remarkably Boe like.)

(Outside the TARDIS)
Rose
Here let me.
Romana
Thank you but I have a key already.
(Romana produces the “ankh” shaped key (Pertwee, Baker, McGann))

Yeh because that looks like it will fit the lock.
(Romana holds the key in front of the lock, the lock mutates to accommodate the new key, the 2 enter into the wooden, secondary console room.)

I can’t promise anything until I know what’s going on.
(Cut to the group sat at a table elsewhere in the library.)
Brother Marce
They don’t tell me everything.
Rose
Just tell us what you can.
Brother Marce
Father Brellan, our leader, left the monastery nearly a year ago to find….
Doctor
What?
Brother Marce
He never said. But he returned 4 months ago, aboard a star ship.
Romana
The missing scientists!
Doctor
Where is this ship now?
Brother Marce
I don’t know.
Doctor
Have any other people arrived here recently?
Brother Marce
No, and, Father brought know one else with him.
Doctor
No one?
(pause)
Brother Marce
The sisters.
Rose
Who are they?
Brother Marce
Father Brellan brought the sisters and they brought the darkness.
Father Brellan (entering)
Brother Marce, hadn’t you better be moving along to the sacred shrine?
Brother Marce
Yes Father. Goodbye, I hope I was of some help.
Father Brellan
That’s enough Brother.
(Brother Marce exits)
Doctor
You must be Father Brellan.
Father Brellan
That I am. I trust you have been well looked after?
Doctor
Can’t complain. But tell me/
Father Brellan
/Yes?
Doctor
How did you convince the sisters of the flame to help you bring the eye of harmony here?
Rose
From Karn?
Romana
Of course, the sisters brought the darkness.
Doctor
And only their level of telekinetic power could balance the eye within the planet, and hide said planet.
Father Brellan
The Doctor is a knowledgeable man.
Doctor
And that’s another thing, how is it that you all know my name?
Father Brellan
To fight the beast, we must know the beast.
Rose
Beast, him?
Doctor
Hey.
Father Brellan
The dawn of the devil’s arrival has been a long awaited event.
Doctor
Really. Well as I’m here perhaps you could answer one more question.
Father Brellan
Perhaps.
Doctor
Where did you get all of these books from?
Father Brellan
The holy shrine of course.
Doctor
Of course.
Father Brellan
Perhaps you would care to accompany me there now?
Doctor
I think I will. You 2 get back to the TARDIS and wait there, contact Frunell and fill him in.
Rose
Will you be okay?
Doctor
When am I not.
(Rose and Romana leave)
Doctor
I’m all yours.
(Cut to courtyard)
Rose
What do you think these brothers are all about then?
Romana
I don’t know but those books…
Rose
What?
Romana
They must have some sort of access to a time funnel, or something similar, to be able to pluck specific items from time.
Rose
They didn’t strike me as being that high-tech.
(The 2 cry out as they are ambushed by monks at the TARDIS and carried away.)
(Entering the main Cathedral hall)
Doctor
Well I’m sorry to disappoint you but as far as beast go I’m not that… wow! Bit dark isn’t it?
Father Brellan
Allow me.
(Archways illuminate across the walls with the sisters of the flame suspended within.)
Doctor
What have you done to them?!
Father Brellan
It was necessary for the greater good. The scientists rescued them from Karn, I asked for their, assistance, they refused.
Doctor
So you took the power you needed by force! Captain Frunell will be interested to hear about this.
Father Brellan
Really. Frunell of the good ship Bad Wolf?
(A hologram of the ship on space appears between the 2)
Father Brellan
Let’s see just how interested he will be.
(The archways begin to glow.)
(Bad Wolf command deck)
Ensign Prelukov
Sir! Massive energy displacement amidships!
Captain Frunell
Evasive Pattern 4, move her ensign!
(View the ship exterior, a huge explosion erupts from the centre of the ship, the resulting halves drift apart and begin to explode also. Cut to cathedral.)
Doctor
There is a beast here Father Brellan, but it isn’t me.
(The arch ways cease to glow.)
Father Brellan
It was the will of God.
Doctor
God! What sort of God condones this? What sort of God, gives its worshippers access to time funnel technology? What sort of God needs the eye of Harmony?
Father Brellan
So many questions.
Doctor
Precious few answers though. What have you done with the earth? Where is the eye?!
Father Brellan
HA-HA-HA-HAAAAA.
Doctor
What sort of brotherhood this?!
Father Brellan
We represent the light of purity, the bringer of death. We are the Brotherhood of Dalek and you shall be exterminated!
(The cathedral lights to reveal a Dalek idol.)
(We see Rose and Romana being thrown into a closed room with various sealed doors and shutters around the walls and ceiling.)
Rose
Now what?
Romana
We wait.
(Back in the Cathedral)
Doctor
That’s an actual Dalek.
Father Brellan
You will bow Doctor!
Doctor
Or at least an actual Dalek casing.
Father Brellan
I said bow!
(The arch ways glow and the doctor is forced to bow, then rise)
Father Brellan
You should show more respect Doctor.
Doctor
Or what?!
Father Brellan
Or you will not be saved.
Doctor
Saved?
Father Brellan
Yes, as your friend soon will be.
(In Rose and Romana’s room, the door ways open to reveal a mass of electronic surgical arms.)
Doctor
What have you done to them?
Father Brellan
They will become our lord’s new disciples.
Doctor
No. You don’t even know how.
Father Brellan
This is why we must test the system Doctor. The Lord has delivered you and your friends too us for that same reason.
Doctor
You fool!
Father Brellan
I think not.
(Enter 6 ad-hoc Daleks, dripping with blood from their vents and joints, groaning)
Father Brellan
Our first attempts to ascend met with limited success as you can see.
Doctor
The crew from Z’Bon.
Father Brellan
Now God’s winged messengers.
Doctor
I am so sorry.
Dalek 1
I see…I see….
Doctor
Stop this!
Dalek 2
We…see….
Dalek 3
So dark….
Doctor
I said stop it!
(In the room)
Rose
Any ideas
Romana
Do you know the words to nearer my got to thee?
Rose
No
Romana
Those in peril in time and space?
Rose
No
Romana
What do you no the words to?
Rose
I lost my heart to a star ship trooper.
Romana
I’m sure you have.
(The 2 clasp hands and close their eyes)
(In the cathedral)
Dalek 6
Alone…
Dalek 5
So alone…
Doctor
Can’t you see what you’ve done to these people?
Father Brellan
They will be as gods!
Doctor
No! They will be as…as people. These aren’t Daleks, they’re still people, a Dalek has to be grown not just thrown into a shell.
Father Brellan
Fascinating
Doctor
What did this to you?
Father Brellan
What?
Doctor
Why are you doing this? Who are you?
Father Brellan
I am your salvation Doctor, yours and everybody’s!
(In the room the instruments close in of Romana and Rose)
(The instruments retreat through their doors. The main doors open to reveal Brother Marce, K9 and a number of unconscious brethren)
Marce
Hurry, time is short.
Romana
Thank heavens for that.
Rose
What?
Romana
I was worried my last words were going to be I lost my heart to a star ship trooper.
K9
Urgency is required mistress.
Romana
Why aren’t you in the TARDIS?
K9
Communication from the Lady Leela ordered me to follow.
Romana
Leela? What’s wrong?
K9
She said not to worry mistress, she would handle it.
Rose
Famous last words. Where’s the doctor?
Brother Marce
He was taken to the Cathedral with Father Brellan.
Rose
Then let’s go!
(In a corridor of the Panoptican a huge laser bolt fight is taking place.)
Lady Leela
This is Lady Leela general of the North, I order you to stand down!
Rebel 1
I suspect the Castellan has ordered otherwise my lady.
Lady Leela
Then we must push on!
(The rebels charge through the now smoke screened corridor cheering.)
(In the presidential apartments the castellan is in full presidential regalia)
Castellan
Not long now commander Pronie.
Commander Pronie
No sir, but the rebels/
Castellan
Evacuate the infected areas, fill them with flame.
Commander Pronie.
But sir!
Castellan
You have your orders!
Commander Pronie
Yes sir.
(The commander exits)
Castellan
I’ll show that barbarian what a battle looks like!
(In the corridors of the Panoptican Leela and the others are catching their breath when a ball of flame begins to engulf the other end of the corridor.)
Lady Leela
Run!
(External view of the Panoptican tower as flame explodes from several windows. From his window in the presidential apartments)
Castellan
It is done.
(In the Cathedral)
Doctor
You no nothing about salvation!
Father Brellan
You are the devil. Who are you to question me.
Doctor
I’ve met the devil and believe me you’ve opened a much bigger Pandora’s Box by bringing me here.
Father Brellan
Really Doctor, then by all means demonstrate your power.
Doctor
Don’t challenge me Brellan
Father Brellan
Or what Doctor?
Doctor
Or I will destroy you.
(Elsewhere in the monastery, in a series of cloisters.)
Rose
What are all these cables for?
Brother Marce
I don’t know. He, they don’t tell me.
Romana
K9?
K9
Large amounts of psycho-electric energy are being channelled within the conduits mistress.
Romana
To where?
K9
A large structure, 400 metres north east of our present location.
Brother Marce
The Cathedral!
Rose
Can you take us there?
Brother Marce
Yes, follow me.
(The group begin to run, K9 brings up the rear.)
(Outside the Cathedral Doors)
Rose (looking through the key hole)
The Doctor’s in there and…Daleks!
Romana
Let me see. The sisters!
Rose
From Karn?
Romana
Yes. K9 cut the cables.
(Enter Brother Trall)
Brother Trall
Well what have we here?
Brother Marce
Brother Trall, I as endeavouring to help the young ladies find their friend, I’m sure you were.
(Trall throws a blade, killing Marce)
Romana
K9!
(K9 shoots Trall dead)
Rose
He wanted our help.
Romana
Cut the cables.
K9
Affirmative.
(K9 begins to cu the cables with his laser)
Rose
It’s the same where ever we go. Always.
Romana
And it will be, as long as you stay with the Doctor.
(K9 is half way through the cables)
(In the Hall)
Father Brellan
You have no power here Doctor. Will you kneel before your God?
Doctor
I’d rather die!
Father Brellan (pulling a sword from the shrine)
Then so be it.
(We see K9 close to completely cutting the cables)
Father Brellan
Any last words Doctor?
(K9 completes the cutting)
(The arch ways glow and the doctor is lifted from his feet)
Father Brellan
What?!
Sister Liara
Sacred flame.
All sisters
Sacred Fire!
(The sword is dissolved)
Doctor
It’s over Brellan!
(Father Brellan runs for the doors and throws them open, knocking Rose to the floor)
Father Brellan
I may yet be saved Doctor!
Romana
What’s going on?
Doctor
Stay with the sisters.
(The doctor pursues father Brellan)
Rose
But/
Romana
/You heard him. Now we need…good grief.
(The sisters begin to levitate from their archways to form a ring around the central shrine whilst continuing their chant. The shrine dissolves to reveal a contained element of the time vortex)
Romana
The time scoop.
Rose
That’s how they got all of those books.
(The scoop disperses, the sisters continue to chant as each bursts into a transparent flame. We see a view of space into which the earth now dissolves. We see the Bad Wolf a drift in 2 halves, a heavily damaged command deck and dead crew, the ship is reconstituted and the crew revived. The sisters cease, sister Liara approaches Rose)
Sister Liara
Where is the Doctor?
(We see Brellan run into a control room, activate a panel and disappear into the room with the many doors, the doctor follows but not before the main door closes. He pounds on the door)
Doctor
Brellan you don’t have to do this! The Daleks are not your gods! Please!
(In the room)
Father Brellan
I shall serve with my every breath.
Doctor
Brellan!
Father Brellan
And I shall walk with the Gods.
(Outside the door agonised screams are heard as the doctor collapses to his feet. Then silence, then the doors open)
Brellan Dalek
Help….me
(Blood pours from the vents below it’s head with each syllable.)
Doctor
You foolish man!
Brellan Dalek
I feel! I feel! Help me! I am as God, I am as God, Help me!
Doctor
I can’t
Brellan Dalek
Help me.
Doctor
I can’t.
Brellan Dalek
I am…I see…darkness.
(The doctor types a command into the controls as the other 6 Daleks enter he leaves, the doors to the control room close behind him.
All Daleks
Help us!
(The doctor activates the sonic screwdriver)
Brellan Dalek
Free!
(The control room explodes)
(Outside the TARDIS)
Rose
What was that?!
Romana
The Doctor.
(She enters the TARDIS as sister Liara talks to Rose)
Sister Liara
The eye now rests within the Doctor’s TARDIS. The sisters and eye will travel to Gallifrey to install it in its rightful place.
Rose
What about the Earth
Sister Liara
She will recover.
(Romana poke her head back around the door)
Romana
I’ve told captain Frunell that the eye has been destroyed; he’s taking the Bad Wolf home for maintenance. He seemed to think they had an oxygen recycling fault, apparently the entire crew lost consciousness.
(The Doctor arrives)
Rose
You alright?
Doctor
The man was a fool.
Rose
Still it’s over now. We can take the eye back.
Sister Liara
We are glad to be of assistance.
Romana
What about the other brethren?
Doctor
They’ll go back to their former worship, Brellan was the only one forcing them to do otherwise, like Marce.
Romana
Home?
Doctor
Home.
(The group enter the TARDIS and the door closes as it dematerialises.)
(In the seal hall of the Panoptican, the high council is surrounded by armed guards as the Castellan enters in full presidential attire,)
Castellan
Well?
(A reluctant time lord approaches carrying the artefacts)
Time Lord
Do you swear to protect the ancient and worshipful law of Gallifrey, with all your/
(The speech is interrupted as the main doors are flung open)
Lady Leela
I object!
Time Lord
Thank Rassilon for that.
(Leela and the others are stopped in their tracks by a force field)
Lady Leela
Stop this!
Castellan
Continue or you and your friends will be killed. You can’t stop it now lady Leela, once I have that coronet you will be powerless to stop me!
(A familiar sound is heard as the TARDIS materialise at the centre of the large seal on the floor)
Castellan
Finish the ceremony now!
(Romana steps out of the TARDIS at a brisk pace followed by the others.)
Castellan
You’re Excellency.
(Romana punches him, knocking him out)
Romana
That is my best frock!
(The Doctor and Rose look in amazement)
Romana
What? He altered my best frock!
(The guards lower the force field)
Lady Leela
And if you think you will not be punished you are mistaken, to your barracks, go!
(The guards disperse)
Lady Leela
Doctor!
Doctor
General Leela!
Lady Leela
Lady Leela now, honorary Time Lord.
Rose
Another old friend?
K9 MK1
Master
Doctor
K9!
Rose
Blimey is there anyone you haven’t given one of those to?
Doctor
Well/
Rose
/All you ever get me is chips.
Doctor
All you ever want is chips!
Councillor Prylek
Excellency was your mission a success?
Romana
Sisters?
(The sisters surround the seal and begin to chant as the entire circle opens to reveal a blinding light into which the TARDIS descends. In the control room all systems move to full power and in the hall the flaming torches are doused as light beams from the ceiling. The seal closes and the TARDIS materialises in it’s former position)
Councillor Prylek
Glorious! Then I ma happy to inform you that the Doctor’s sentence has been commuted.
Doctor
Oh great!
Councillor Prylek
To exile. Please leave this world and do not return!
(The councillor and other time lords leave the hall)
Romana
Just like old times then.
Doctor
It seems that way.
Lady Leela
We can try and have the sentence reduced.
Doctor
No, it’s alright, I’m used to it, it’s nice to know I even have a home to be exiled from.
Lady Leela
We will meet again Doctor.
Doctor
Warrior instinct?
Romana
Statement of fact. Goodbye Doctor.
Doctor
Good bye, both of you. Goodbye K9s!
K9 MK1 + K9 MK2
Goodbye master!
Rose
Will it always be the same?
Romana
It’s worth finding out for yourself.
(The Doctor and Rose enter the TARDIS and it dematerialises)
(In the large console room)
Rose
Will you go back?
Doctor
One day, maybe.
Rose
Aren’t you upset?
Doctor
They hate me, all of them, even Romana has…
Rose
I wonder if we’ll ever find evidence of religion on Mars.
Doctor
Who says you already haven’t?
Rose
What?
You never asked me what they worshiped originally, before Dalek. I saw it on the scanner as we took off.
Rose
Saw what?
(In the courtyard on Mars to Brothers talk)
Brother 1
We must prepare a pilgrimage to the peak the holy visage at once and seek forgiveness.
Brother 2
He will forgive. In time.
(The 2 look at the peak of the mountain which shadows the monastery, the camera zooms out toward space revealing the mountain from above, the famous “Martian Face” looking remarkably Boe like.)
(Closing Titles)
