“A Town Called Mercy”
In this episode: Eleventh Doctor (4), Amy (2)
We evacuate the town, our ship's just over the hills, room for everyone. I'll pop out, bring it back here, Robert's your uncle.
Really!? As simple as that? No crazy schemes? No negotiations?
I've matured. I'm twelve hundred years old now, plus I don't want to miss The Archers.
Oh, so you're not even a tiny bit curious?
Why would I be curious? It's a mysterious space cowboy assassin. Curious? Of course I'm not curious.
Can I borrow your horse, please? It's official Marshall business. [He mounts the preacher's horse]
He's called Joshua. It's from the Bible. It means "the deliverer".
[The horse snorts]
No, he isn't.
What?
I speak horse. He's called Susan.
[The horse snorts]
And he wants you to respect his life choices.
[Angrily] Today, I honour victims first; his, The Master's, the Daleks', all the people who died because of my mercy!
See, this is what happens when you travel alone for too long. Well listen to me, Doctor. We can't be like him. We have to be better than him.
[Dockery draws a pistol, pointing it at the Doctor]
How old are you?
Nearly 19.
That's 18, then. Too young to have fought in the war, so I'm guessing you've never shot anyone before, have you?
First time for everything.
But that's how all this started. Jex turned someone into a weapon. Now that same story's gonna make you a killer, too. Don't you see? Violence doesn't end violence, it extends it. And I don't think you want to do this. I don't think you want to become that man.
There's kids here.
I know, who I can save, if you'll let me.
[Nodding to the building holding Kahler-Jex] He really worth the risk?
I don't know. But you are.
[Dockery withdraws with the townsfolk]
Frightened people. Give me a Dalek any day.
