Dr Who: Jubilee Episode Three Scene Zero The Coronation (Mangled version of God save the Queen) Commentator for BBC: And this really is remarkable. We truly are seeing History in the making here... And here we are... the new King is about to address the Country. I think he's ready... yes... he's standing up... CyberKing: People of Britain, Since the Coup six days ago control of this country has been transferred to the Cybermen. If you obey us you will be allowed to continue normally in your lives for now. If you do not, then you will be eradicated... *TITLES* Scene One Beneath the Houses of Parliament Mason: (desparate...) Come in Kappa Base. Come in Kappa Base... Dammit! What's wrong with them? Base: Kappa Base reading you. You're rather fuzzy Mason... Mason: Oh good, you're there. Right, we're in position now. Awaiting instructions.. Base: Okay... (reception fades in and out)... That's good news. Can you read off your exact coordinates? Mason: What? Will you please repeat, kappa base, over... (nothing) Jeffries: It's not the base that's the problem, Mason. Don't you get it - we're just too deep now - those signals won't travel easily through 20 feet of solid earth, and an extra two foot thick of stone foundation. Mason: So why did no one point this out earlier? Jeffries: Come on, you really reckon Grigson thought this through? How much planning can you do in a day? We're just lucky he was able to lay his hands on the explosive. Mason: Very lucky, yeah... we get to be the ones to blow our brains out for Britain. Jeffries: Hey - calm down, all right. We've got a job to do, and we don't have time to bicker. Have you got the detonator? Mason: Here you go... Base: Come in Mason, Come in Mason... Mason: Hey! They're back. Mason receiving you. Go on, Kappa base, over. Base: We've boosted the signal. Hope you can hear us more clearly, over. Jeffries: Idiots!! Give that here! (snatches intercom) Kappa Base! Turn that signal down immediately, do you read? You are running a serious risk of being detected, over. Base: Don't fret, Jeffries. Ain't no cybermen gonna find us here, over!... Jeffries: (to self) I wouldn't count on it. Base: Can you *please* let us have your coordinates, over. Jeffries: Roger. Mason, what does the GPS read? Mason: (types on GPS) Nothing. Blank. Oh, don't say the cybermen have taken that out of action too? Jeffries: Unlikely - they don't have that level of control - yet. I guess we're just too deep underground. You need a fairly unobstructed line to the satellite, you know... Base: Repeat, will you please send your coordin---aarh! Look out! Nooo.. NOoooooooo!!! (ad lib death by cybermen!) Mason: What was that?! Jeffries: The fools! I warned him about that signal. I'm afraid Kappa base has just gone the same way as Epsilon and Indigo. Mason: (shock) No! (pause) Jeffries: Come on Mason, it's up to us now. We just plant the bomb here and then get the hell out of this hole! Mason: Yeah you're right - It'll still knock them for six even if it isn't in the opitimum position. Go for it! Jeffries: blue to blue connector... red to red.... Mason: Careful... Jeffries: I know what I'm doing, all right. And keep your voice down! Do you wannus to get caught? Mason: Ha! That'd ensure our place in the history books, eh? The cybermen would be burning guys of us come Bonfire Night! Jeffries: Not their style Mason. And I'd prefer not to take the credit for this one, anyway. (Click. Beep then ticking...) Come on now... it's set. Let's get out of here... Scene Two Dr's Dream Dalek: You have failed Doctor. (echo... failed, failed...) Dr: I know... I know... but.. but.. Master: Oh my dear Doctor. You have no excuse... Dr: The Master... Master: Ho Ho... What exquisite delight to see that pitiful planet you so admire crushed beneath the superior might of the Cybermen (Dr cries out no!) ho ho.....(becoming a cyberman) it was the only rational outcome. The Cybermen must dominate.... Dr: but there should have been a way... (a way... a way...) K9: Incorrect master. You have failed. Adric: Yes, you've failed us all Doctor... Dr: Adric! Adric: Failed... (joined by Master laughing, then Cybermen then Daleks, then LHC...) Dr: (Final scream) NOOOOOooooooo! (Wakes up...) (In TARDIS) Romana: (angry) Pull yourself together Doctor. Dr: Romana. (pause...) You know, I've just had the most terrible dream... Romana: I don't doubt it. Dr: No... no... but there was more to it than that... Romana: What do you mean? Dr: Oh, I don't know. It was like... a clue.. but hidden from me. I've got a terrible feeling I'm missing something blatently obvious. Romana: Just for a change. Come on, get up. I can't stand another day of you moping around this ship feeling sorry for yourself. Dr: You don't understand, Romana. I've failed. I've let the whole of Earth down. Have you any idea how something of that magnitude can weigh on the conscience. Romana: It's not your conscience that's speaking, Doctor. It's self pity, and I've just about had enough of it. If I haven't given up hope yet, then there's no reason why you should... Dr: I only wish I shared your optimism. I really do... Scene Three Cyber HQ Scout: It is now installed in the palace of Westminster, leader. Leader: This is excellent news. Now our supremacy is assured. No external forces can hope to threaten the cyber fleet while we are under the protection of our CEB. (cut to westminster) Mum: CEB? What's that, Jared dear? Jared: Concentrated Energy Beam mother... Mum: Oh. Do you mean like that Star Wars thing that mad American came up with? Jared: Yes, only infinitely superior. The Americans never actually had the ability to put their defence inititive into practise of course, but the Cybermen do... Don't worry, mother. So long as we are under the shadow of this weapon our safety is assured. Mum: Yes, well that's all very well, but you haven't seen what those rotten Cybermen have done to my Begonias... Trampled all over them! And my rockery - the beasts! Scene 4 TARDIS Romana: 223, 3988.... Divide Overflow? Divide overflow! No, no, no..... Doctor!! Dr: Mmmm? Romana: The nav console just keeps responding with errors each time I punch in new coordinates. Any idea what's going on? Dr: Yes, of course. Romana: And? Dr: It's bust! Romana: (annoyed) It's bust. I see. And since when have you known this? Dr: Oooh.. I dunno. Other day sometime. You remember... bangs, jolts, lights went off for a second. Cybermen outside I expect... Romana: I don't believe it. Dr: ... could just be rust instead, of course... Romana: Well you've got no choice but to go outside now, have you? Dr: (sigh) It would appear so. But I don't like it. It's dangerous out there, you don't seem to understand... A city ruled ruthlessly by an emotionless totalitarian master-race - it's like some kind of badly- conceived Orwellian parody, only for real - and we're stuck bang in the middle of it. Romana: Oh come on! I thought you laughed in the face of danger. Dr: Well it's only amusing so long as you're winning, I'm afraid. This last week has ..err.. rather forced me into a rethink of policy. Romana: But you're forgetting about Colin. Dr: Oh, I doubt it will take the cybermen long to work out that he's on our side and not theirs any longer. Romana: Not if we look like we're his prisoners. He could be our escort... Dr: Hmmm I suppose you're right. We have to go outside now the navigation's broken down to replace those blown components. You go and brief our cybernetic friend. I'll be in my study... Scene 5: Bombers being captured... (Chase music...) Mason: (Running)... Come on! Catch up - we gotta get out of here... Jeffries: All right! All right! I'm coming... Oh no! Cyber: Halt! Stay where you are! (shoots) Mason: Dammit! Other way!...(scream from distance) Jeffries? Oh my... (shot whizzes past) (to self) they got him... Cyber1: Eliminate the other intruder! Cyber2: Yes leader... Mason: (to self) if I get out of here alive it'll be a miracle... the exit... there it is.. (shots again) (through door straight into cyber patrol outside) Oh no!! Cyber1: The intruder has been captured. Leader: Excellent. Bring him outside. We will execute him as an example, together with the suspected renegate unit 58. The humans must learn that resistance will not be tolerated... Scene Six Mile End Romana: Come on - admit it, Doctor. We're lost... Colin: No look. Over there is a subway station... Dr: Mile End. Though fat lot of good it will do us. The underground is now the domain of the cybermen. God only knows what they're up to down there, but it's more than our life's worth to go and find out - even with our escort here... Colin: I suspect they have massive construction and mining works below ground Doctor. They will be planning the invasion of the next city in their conquest of the planet. Dr: I dare say so... Colin: Doctor? Dr: Yes? Colin: Why does our race have so little regard for life? How can they propagate such atrocities against humanity? Dr: A good question, my friend. And a question to which I have no real answer. (pause - resolve) Come on.. this way, across the canal. We've still got a good few miles to walk yet... Scene Seven By Big Ben Jared: You see, Mother. We're all quite safe so long as we accept the will of the Cybermen. Scout: You are Jared Wentworth, human unit 58 - is that not correct? Jared: Yes, I am. Is there a problem? Scout: No problem. Seize him now and bring him and the captured rebel spy for execution! Cyber: Yes, leader. Jared: What?? But I have served you faithfully. No one more so than I... I would never question... Scout: Silence! Your execution is to commence forthwith. Jared: But... but... Scout: Is the CEB aligned? Cyber: Yes, leader. Scout: Then you may fire at will.... Jared: No... NO!! NOOOooooooo!!! (Lazer death, followed by death toll of Big Ben) Dr: (fade in) Big ben striking at this hour.. what is it... hmmm quarter to 3. That's odd... Colin: I fear that the toll of Big Ben now has a more sinister meaning than telling the time. Look at the top of Westminster.. Dr: My giddy aunt... the ... the... the scoundrels! They've replaced the top half of the clock tower with some kind of huge gun... Colin: Concentrated Energy Beam weapon, Doctor. It is how the Cybermen enforce their marshall law... Dr: And the bell?... Colin: A death knell marking some victim's execution... Dr: (pause) Oh no.. look over there! You're right, and they've got someone else lined up next... QUICK! Pretend you have higher orders to take the prisoner away for interrogation! Colin: But that would... Dr: NOW! Before it's too late... Colin: Is the human unit for execution? Scout: It is. Colin: Then I have orders to bring him to the Cyber Leader for interrogation. Scout: I was not made aware of any such orders. Colin: You will not question the will of the Cyber Leader. Release the prisoner into my escort. Scout: Very well.. Mason: (gasp) Thank god... Colin: You will come with me... Scene Eight Cyber HQ Scout: I report the shipment of Uridium-32 has been intercepted by rebels, leader. Leader: This is bad news indeed. The supply of Uridium-32 is critical to the functioning of the Butterfly device. Without continuing supplies we cannot advance to conquer the other major trade capitals of this planet. Arrange a second shipment immediately. Scout: Very well, leader. Scene Nine (outside) Dr: Aaah you're back. Any luck? Romana: Yep! We'll have the TARDIS going again in no time with these new components... Dr: Hopefully. Romana: Oh.. and.. Dr: Yes? Romana: Just a little surprise... Dr: Go on... Romana: I bought the bits you needed to fix the chameleon circuit too... it was only a matter of a few resistors and ... well... I got this earth processor-chip - it's primitive but should be adaptable to do the job... so we can fix it when we get back, eh? What do you say? Dr: Yes. (double take) Err.. Maybe. (pause, thoughtful) What we need is more.. Romana: (interrupts)...time?...The final frontier of man never to be conquered. The chance to witness past glories and future visions across the fourth dimension... Dr: What *are* you on about?? Romana: Over there. That poster. Dr: Aaah... the TIME exibition at the Greenwich Millenium Dome. Hmmm, well perhaps under other circumstances that would make an interesting visit, but we've got Colin and his newly found rebel friend here to sort out first.. haven't we...Mr...? Mason: Mason. Geoff Mason. I'm grateful to you for saving my life from the Cybermen. Whoever you are... Dr: Just call me the Doctor... and this is Colin here. Mason: Colin, eh? Nice suit. Where did ya get that from? Cybermen costume hire? Dr: Oh no - Colin's a proper cyberman all right! Mason: What??!!? Dr: Only he's quite nice, as they go. Come on. We've got a long walk ahead of us and dusk is falling... (fade) Scene Ten Cyber HQ Scout: Sources report there is no longer any readily availible Uridium. Leader: Have all current subway mining projects been checked? Scout: Yes, leader. And we can locate no more of the element. Leader: This is most regrettable. External supplies of Uridium may take several Earth weeks to reach us. It is imperitive that we locate a closer source. Set all available troop units to work to search for further subterranian resources immediately. Scout: Very well leader. Scene Eleven In TARDIS Dr: Some kind of radioactive substance you say? Mason: That's all I know. It's important somehow to them. Two of my friends died just trying to derail the tube-train carrying the shipment. Dr: I see. And where did the bomb come in? Mason: Haven't you seen what they've installed next to Big Ben? They were going to execute me with it, remember? Dr: Yes. I remember only too well. And that was the best you could come up with then? Blowing it up? Mason: Yeah. And it would've worked too if they hadn't have caught us in time and disarmed it. Dr: Yeess... Well, I'm afraid we're going to have to be rather more cunning than that, if we're to get the better of the Cybermen. Mason: What, have you got a plan? Dr: No. I'm working on it... Give me a couple of hours to think it all over...(quiet, to self) But I'm sure I'm missing something blatently obvious... Mason: There's nothing you can do? Even with all this gadgetry in here? Nothing? Dr: I'm not sure. Don't let her looks deceive you. The TARDIS is no longer technologically advanced by today's standards, in fact she's remarkably antequated but that's how we like it, eh Romana? Romana: No. Dr: She doesn't mean it. Mason: Well I don't know about your standards, but it's incredible from where I'm standing... I mean,... just *how* do you do that.. that... Dr: "Bigger on the inside"-thing? (modest) Ooooh... a little trick of trancendental quantum mechanics, exploiting an anomaly between actual and perceived dimensional characteristics on two parallel planes... Mason: mmmm.. I see.. Dr: I doubt it. Romana: (suddenly shouts) Done it!! Dr: Jolly good. Romana: Huh?! Is that it? "Jolly good"? Dr: Er, yes. I think so. Romana: Well that's gratitude for you. Dr: Indeed. (pause) er.. may I ask exactly what it is you've done? Romana: What!? Oh, honestly. What do you think I've been spending the last two hours fixing? The drinks machine? Dr: Oh good. I was meaning to sort out that blocked coffee nozzle myself for a long while. Good show. Romana: I meant that rhetorically, Doctor. Don't play the fool. Dr: Ah. Romana: You may not care, but both the navigation console and the chameleon circuit are now fully operational. Dr: (indignant) What?! No more blue police box? Romana: No more blue police box. Unless you specifically request it. Dr: I do! It's vital to err... blending in seamlessly with my surroundings... Romana: Tut! You get the chance of having a fully functional TARDIS which can morph into any shape you choose and you want it as a stupid telephone box! I give up. Dr: All right.... Romana: All right what?... Dr: All right... I'll compromise. Romana: Compromise? Dr: Yes. We'll test out the TARDIS by going to that Time exhibition you spotted. Romana: And where's the compromise? Dr: I'll set the chameleon circuit so that the TARDIS takes the form of a red British telephone box... Romana: (sigh...) You're obsessed with telephone boxes, aren't you Doctor? Dr: (laughs to self) hah! Not true at all..(pulls lever) Hold tight!! (TARDIS take off and land..) (music) Scene 12. (In dome) (opens TARDIS door) Dr: My God! It really does work. And we're on target too.. in the Millenium Dome. Romana: Of course. And you're in luck. Look exactly where you've landed... Dr: (reads) Communication across the ages. Hum! Nice display, and I think we fit in quite well, don't you? Romana: Don't you think people will wonder why there are *two* examples of a red British telephone box? Dr: Naah, you can never have enough telephone boxes!.. Come along... I want to look around, seeing as we're here... Scene 13 Cyber HQ Reporter: And scenes just in of the NATO air strike against suspected Cyberman bases... You can see how the armed forces did not even get close before being shot down by the massive energy weapon the Cybermen have installed at the palace of Westminster.. Just to remind you this is actual footage of the attack earlier this evening... And at this point it's difficult to see how if at all it would be possible to restore democratic rule to Britain ... all international efforts are failing... (scanner off) Leader: See how their weapons are no match for the superior force of the Cybermen. Scout: Shall I arrange a second demonstration of our firepower to ensure the humans do not attempt further offence? Leader: Very well. You may destroy some public buildings. Scout: What buildings do you suggest, Leader? Leader: Arrange the complete annihilation of the human religious building known as Saint Pauls... Scout: Very good leader... Leader: And the structure known as the Millenium Dome... Credits... Jubilee Episode Three Starring...
