Scenes with Bettan 3

Bettan

It was [Davros] who told us how to destroy the Kaled dome. His only interest is in achieving peace!

Let me tell you something -- the Kaled government was on the point of stopping Davros's experiments. Rather than let that happen, he helped you to destroy his own race.

Bettan

You'll never convince my people of that. Davros is a hero!

Yes. For how long, I wonder...?

[The Doctor and Bettan have escaped the Thal base, which has been attacked by the Daleks, and are hiding behind the sandbags]

Bettan

Oh, there was no need to go that far. When our leaders saw they were beaten they should have surrendered.

Perhaps they did. But Daleks accept no terms. They're programmed to wipe the Thals from the face of this planet.

Bettan

But there must be some who'll escape, some survivors?

A few, perhaps, but they need to be grouped into some kind of fighting force to strike the bunker.

Bettan

What?

Well, destroy Davros and you destroy the Daleks.

Bettan

What chance do we have against them?

It's your only chance. Will you do it?

Bettan

Yes.

Good girl. I'm going to try and get back into the bunker now.

Bettan

Alone?

Good luck. [leaves Bettan, who hides as a Dalek passes over the top of the trench, silhouetted against the red sky]

Bettan

Right, bring out the explosives. Now, lay the charges on each of these main carriers. [indicates the pillars supporting the ceiling] One charge for each beam should be enough. Are you quite sure this is the only way into the bunker?

SSevrin

Well, the only other way was from the Kaled dome, and your war rocket caved that it. It can never be cleared.

Bettan

If we do the same here, we'll entomb the Daleks and those who created them.

SSevrin

But Sarah and the Doctor are inside. You'll give them a chance to get clear, won't you?

Bettan

I must blow the roof as soon as the charges are laid. I can't delay. If the Daleks find out what we are doing and attack, I don't have enough men or arms to stand them off.

SSevrin

How long?

Bettan

Thirty minutes, perhaps less.

SSevrin

Then I must get inside and try and warn them.

Bettan

That's up to you. But you must understand. If you're not back, I must go on. You'll die in there with them.

SSevrin

[beat] I understand.

Bettan

I'll give you what time I can.

SSevrin

Right. [walks into the bunker]
