If we don't find that pod before it germinates, it will be the end of everything - EVERYTHING, you understand?! Even your pension!
“The Seeds of Doom” · Season 13, Episode 6
In this episode: Fourth Doctor (9), Sarah Jane Smith (4)
Will they be able to help that man?
I don't know, Sarah. He's halfway towards becoming a Krynoid.
Krynoid?
Yes. A progression of the pod.
So you recognised it.
Yes, I was fairly certain when I saw the photographs. Now I'm sure.
Well, what is a Krynoid? I mean, what does it do?
I suppose you could call it a galactic weed, except it's deadlier than any weed you know.
In what way?
Well, on most planets, the animals eat the vegetation, hmm?
Mmm hmm.
On planets where the Krynoid gets established, the vegetation eats the animals.
But that's terrifying!
Yes.
Well, how did it get through space?
An obvious question. I wish I knew the answer. Possibly their planet of origin is turbulent from time to time, any internal explosions could cause surface matter to go shooting into space.
So what do we do about Winlett?
I'm thinking, Sarah, I'm thinking.
SScorby
Okay, start talking.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart had perfect pitch...
SScorby
[referring to corpse] What happened to him?
Who, Wolfgang Amadeus...? Oh, him. Oh, he died.
We're trying to trace the owner.
ADAmelia Ducat
Isn't it [her painting] yours?
No. We found it in a car boot
ADAmelia Ducat
A car boot?
A Daimler car boot
ADAmelia Ducat
The car is immaterial.
The driver wasn't. He tried to kill us.
Can you remember who bought this particular painting?
ADAmelia Ducat
Well, nobody. I haven't finished it yet.
No, hang about, not that one. This one, Miss Ducat.
Common snakes-head fritillary.
ADAmelia Ducat
Oh, that one. Oh, dear me. It was a long time ago. Now what was his name? Something like face? Mace? Lace?
Pace?
Base?
ADAmelia Ducat
That's right. Chase! Of course. Harrison Chase the millionaire. Good lord. He never paid me!
[As the armed guards seize him and Sarah] That's right, grab us! We're very dangerous.
Hello, this is Sarah Jane, she's my best friend.
KKKrynoid/Keeler
Give the Doctor to us. Your lives will then be spared.
SScorby
You better think of something quickly, hadn't you, Doctor!
Oh, Scorby, take no notice of it. I've heard that one before.
SScorby
It sounds like a pretty fair deal to me! How 'bout it, Doctor? You'd lay down your life for others, wouldn't you?
Oh, not to save your skin, not after what you did to us!
SScorby
It's different!
Why is it different?!
SScorby
He'd be sacrificing himself for you, for all of us!
EXCUSE me! Would you mind if I said something?
And you'd better listen, because nobody else knows how to fight that creature!
KKKrynoid/Keeler
Hear this, humans. You have till daybreak to deliver the Doctor.
SScorby
Why wait?! Why not now?!
Scorby, if I die, you die.
SScorby
I'll take a chance on that--
(losing his temper) THERE IS NO CHANCE!
MBMajor Beresford
I've been telling Sir Colin that without the proper authority, I will not launch a raid on someone's private property!
Waffle! Waffle, waffle, waffle!
[Harrison Chase, influenced by the Krynoid, prepares to kill Sarah Jane with the compost machine]
HCHarrison Chase
The sergeant's no longer with us. He's in the garden. He's part of the garden.
That's very clever of you.
HCHarrison Chase
Don't humour me, Miss Smith. We're helping the plant world, the sergeant and I. In different ways, of course. I've become part of a life that I've always admired for its beauty, colours, sensitivity. I have the Krynoid to thank, as it thanks me for its opportunity to exist here on Earth. Soon the Krynoids will dominate everywhere, and your foul species will disappear.
And you'll all flower happily ever after.
HCHarrison Chase
You and your kind are nothing but parasites. You're dependant upon us for the air you breathe, and the food you eat. We have only one use for you...
HCHarrison Chase
What do you do for an encore, Doctor?
I win.
