Dr. Who and the Daleks Page #3

Grandfather?

Unless we can get some treatment,

we have little hope of survival.

Our prisoners are showing signs

of radiation sickness.

But they have not yet perished from it.

They must have found something

that makes them immune

while we must remain

in these protective machines

and cannot go out of our city.

If we had it, we could leave the city,

destroy all others

and have the planet for ourselves.

Let us overhear what our prisoners say.

Perhaps they will give us the answer.

'If some form of life

does exist outside this city,

'they must have discovered

an anti-radiation drug.'

'Well?'

'That box of glass vials

we found outside TARDIS. Remember?'

One of you four

must go outside the city.

- Which will it be?

- Why?

Many centuries ago,

there were two peoples on this planet.

Ourselves, the Daleks, and the Thals.

After the neutronic war,

our forefathers retired into the city,

protected by this clothing.

Most of the Thals perished in the war.

Those who survived

and remain on this planet

are horrible mutations, monsters.

They have a drug

which cures the sickness of radiation.

If we get the drug,

we will give some to you.

Without it, you will die.

None of us is well enough to go.

One of you must.

I'll go.

- Susan!

- It's too dangerous.

Hurry.

The young one is approaching the forest.

She will be there in a moment now.

If she returns with the drug,

am I to allow the prisoners to use some?

No. Their only value

is to bring us the drug

to duplicate for ourselves.

Let them die.

Oh, dear.

I'm so sorry.

It was all my fault.

Oh, dear, he's getting worse.

What does he mean, it's all his fault?

There was nothing wrong

with the fluid link.

And now the Daleks

have taken it from him.

What are we going to do?

Nothing we can do. Just wait.

Hope nothing happens to Susan.

Who's there?

Who are you? What do you want?

My name is Alydon. I am a Thal.

I tried to speak to you

in the forest just now.

I'm sorry I frightened you.

I came back to make sure

you knew how to use the drugs I left you.

But I found no one here.

The others are prisoners

of the Daleks in the city.

- There are people in the city?

- They sent me back for the drugs.

Do they want them for themselves

or for your friends?

I don't know. I don't trust them.

I shall give you a second supply

which you must hide as best you can.

Thank you. But I don't understand.

They said you were mutations.

There were many mutations

after the final war.

Most of them perished.

But this form, two hands, two eyes,

has always been best for survival.

But they called you monsters.

If they call us monsters,

what must they be like?

Have you brought anything else
