Blissful, isn’t it, Doctor? Silence.
Aha, not quite. I can hear the sound of empires toppling.
They saved my life!
Don't thank them yet. We might live to regret it.
What are they?
Cybermen.
We can't go nicking stuff in here
It's only temporary
It's probably treason! I'm too young to go to the Tower!
I don't suppose you've completely ignored my instructions and secretly prepared any Nitro-9, have you?
What if I had?
And naturally, you wouldn't do anything so insanely dangerous as to carry it around with you, would you?
Of course not. I'm a good girl and do what I'm told.
Excellent. Blow up that vehicle.
[The Doctor is teaching himself how to juggle while Ace frantically flings clothes around]
Professor?
Yes?
Have you seen my Nitro-9?
Isn't it in your rucksack?
Yeah, but where's my rucksack?
Interesting question...
Things don't just vanish.
[inexplicably loses a juggling ball] No....
You have to hang up your travelling shoes and stop wandering sooner or later, don't you?
So I've been told. Personally, I just keep on wandering.
A missile convoy!
A nuclear missile convoy.
How can you tell?
It has a graveyard stench.
[Discussing The Doctor] He has many many names. But in my reckoning he is Merlin.
You recognise my face then?
No. Not your aspect, but your manner that betrays you. Do you not ride the ship of time? Does it not deceive the senses; being larger within than without?
What's down there?
Don't ask me. I've only been excavating this site for ten years.
With any luck, a tunnel.
A dark mysterious one?
Probably.
Leading to unknown dangers?
Indubitably.
Oh, wicked.
Oh dear. Women. Not really my field.
Don't worry, Brigadier. People will be shooting at you soon.
You've got enough weapons here to fight a war.
That's the general idea.
It'll be useless, Brigadier.
Not this time, Doctor. [Opens an ammo box and holds up a round to show The Doctor] Armour-Piercing, solid core with a Teflon coating; go through a Dalek.
A non-stick bullet.
UNIT's been very busy, Doctor. We've also got high-explosive rounds for Yetis and very efficient armour-piercing rounds for robots. And we've even got gold-tipped bullets for you-know-what.
No silver?
Silver bullets?
Well, you never know...
We know you of old Merlin; you will not kill.
I wouldn't count on it!
Come then, look me in the eye, end my life. [The Doctor struggles for a moment then releases Mordred] Ha! It is a weakness, this lack of spirit!
[The Brigadier approaches and points his revolver at Mordred's head]
Try me.
[To Mordred via psychic link] Ware this man, Mordred, he is steeped in blood.
That, Brigadier, was the beginning of the end of the world.
Same as ever, eh Doctor?
Right, you just, uh, shoot the bullets into it?
Simple, isn't it? Just like most killings...
You stupid, stubborn, thickheaded numbskull! You were supposed to die in bed! I could've handled it, done your job...
Nonsense, Doctor!
You're supposed to be dead!
