Crash site
De Flores: Wait.
The Doctor: Don't move!
Ace: They saved my life.
The Doctor: Don't thank them yet. We might live to regret it.
Ace: What are they?
The Doctor: Cybermen.
Leader: So, Doctor, a new appearance, otherwise our anticipation of your presence has proved entirely accurate.
Leader: Eradicate them.
The Doctor: Take cover.
Ace: Doctor!
Ace: Doctor, we can't stay here.
The Doctor: We certainly can. This exactly the same thing that happened the last time. Only then it was the Roundheads and Lady Peinforte.
Peinforte: A hit. A very palpable hit.
Peinforte: See how my poison is as deadly as ever, Richard.
Richard: And I shall look after the sick. Which reminds me, I shall return to Briggs his money.
Peinforte: Get up, fool. I tell thee, Richard, were there men of silver like these here in our day, my life would have been quite different. Now I'll let them destroy each other, and then we'll take the Nemesis.
The Doctor: Where did that come from?
Ace: Didn't see.
The Doctor: A Cyberman k*lled with an arrow? But that's ludicrous, unless. Of course, the head's made of gold.
Ace: That's real gold?
The Doctor: Yes. The only substance to which they're vulnerable.
Ace: Classy.
The Doctor: Ah! Gold dipped in poison. Lady Peinforte's calling card.
Ace: I really think we should be getting out of here, Doctor.
The Doctor: I really think you're right.
Richard: My lady, who is that little man?
Peinforte: Oh, glorious evil. It is he.
Peinforte: No!
De Flores: We must retreat. It's our only chance.
Karl: And leave the statue?
De Flores: The statue alone is useless to them. The bow is ours. Get it.
Leader: Bring the bow at once.
Cyberman: The Doctor and the female have escaped with it, Leader.
Leader: And that one?
Cyberman: Terminated by another human female, using gold.
Leader: This must be the Lady Peinforte.
Windsor town
Richard: My lady, there are people here.
Peinforte: Of course there are people. This is Windsor. Come.
Warehouse
Leader: Cut the statue free and take it into the craft.
Lady Peinforte's home
Ace: I don't like this place.
The Doctor: We're just passing through, Ace.
Ace: What happened to the body? It's gone.
The Doctor: Yes. Someone's moved the chess pieces.
The Doctor: Voila!
Ace: Is that what we came here for?
The Doctor: Our friend the mathematician was a genius, but he needed a little help to get started.
The Doctor: Cold?
Ace: I really don't like this place. Can we make a move?
The Doctor: Yes.
Van
Karl: What is the gold dust for, Herr De Flores?
De Flores: Eventualities.
Windsor Great Park
The Doctor: Validium was created as the ultimate defence for Gallifrey, back in early times.
Ace: Created by Omega?
The Doctor: Yes.
Ace: And?
The Doctor: Rassilon.
Ace: And?
The Doctor: And none of it should have left Gallifrey. But, as always with these things, some of it did.
Ace: So you had to stop Lady Peinforte.
The Doctor: Or anyone else.
Ace: From ever putting the three bits together.
The Doctor: Yes, so I launched the largest piece into space.
Ace: But you got the sums wrong.
The Doctor: Look. We're almost there.
Ace: I'd feel a lot safer and happier inside the TARDIS.
The Doctor: Well, the Cybermen might find the TARDIS. This way, our validium leads us to their validium.
Ace: Isn't that a bit old-fashioned?
The Doctor: I'm an old-fashioned guy.
Windsor town
Skinhead: You looking at me?
Peinforte: Stand aside.
Skinhead 2: What are you, social workers?
Richard: Out of my lady's way.
Skinhead: We want to tell you our problems.
Peinforte: Will you be turned into rats?
Skinhead 2: We already have been.
Skinhead: Poor ones. That's our problem.
Skinhead 2: Money!
Richard: Money, say you?
Crypt
Cyberman: The remaining validium approaches, Leader.
Leader: As predicted. Activate communications unit.
Cyberman: But the Doctor and Peinforte are still to be destroyed.
Leader: Our victory is inevitable. The Doctor will come to us, and Peinforte is a simple savage accompanied by a terrified peasant.
Windsor Great Park
Ace: What am I supposed to be listening for?
The Doctor: That. Cybermen communicating.
Ace: I don't like Cybermen.
The Doctor: You should see the ones they're communicating with.
Ace: Reinforcements?
The Doctor: Yes. But if we could only jam their signal. Have you got a tape?
Ace: Yeah. You mean this thing transmits?
The Doctor: Of course it does. I built it.
Crypt
Leader: Commence transmission.
Cyberman: Leader, I must repeat the objection to the transmission of incorrect information. Our forces do not yet hold all three units of validium.
Leader: You are outside your function.
Windsor Great Park
The Doctor: Are we having fun?
Ace: Yeah.
Crypt
Cyberman: Interference, origin unknown.
Leader: Open the monitor channel.
Windsor Great Park
Ace: That'll keep them busy. Time to go?
The Doctor: Oh, I do love a jam session.
The Doctor: This is ridiculous. Who did this to you?
Skinhead: Social workers.
Outside the Crypt
Richard: My lady.
Peinforte: Of course I heard it. Am I deaf?
Richard: It sounds like a bear, but worse.
Peinforte: See, we're near the Nemesis. Come. The bear will not pursue us. Such things happen only in the theatre.
Richard: What creatures are these?
Peinforte: I know not.
Richard: They will eat us. I beg you, my lady, return us to our own time. The England now is full of terrors.
Peinforte: You're mad! Return without the Nemesis? Never. And without my knowledge, you cannot return at all. I tell you, Richard, either you assist me to regain it or I leave thee here forever. Now, come. I think they are peaceful.
Richard: What place, what place is this?
Peinforte: The piece of ground on which you stand? Well, I will tell thee. It is thy grave, Richard.
Richard: What?
Peinforte: I ordered you to be buried here when I planned my tomb. See, there's thy stone.
Peinforte: If the dogs would not eat thee, I ordered you put out here to attend me in the next world as in this. There you see is my burial place, and aptly the silver creatures there do hold the Nemesis. We shall att*ck.
The Doctor: Just in time.
Crypt
Richard: There's nothing here, my lady.
Peinforte: See the arrow? The statue's here, depend upon it.
Outside the Crypt
Leader: Now our plan begins to operate. She will find that her crypt has weathered with age. The fact of her death will drive her insane.
Crypt
Richard: This is your tomb?
Peinforte: Rather fine, is it not? But where is the statue of Nemesis?
Outside the Crypt
Peinforte (O.C.): Where is it? Where?
Cyberman: Is this the human condition of madness, Leader?
Leader: It is. k*ll them.
Peinforte (O.C.): It must be here. It must be!
Crypt
Richard: My lady!
Peinforte: It is here! The arrow tells me. How can this be? Where? Where is it?
Outside the Crypt
Cyberman: Gold!
Van
De Flores: This was once the estate of the infamous Lady Peinforte, in the seventeenth century.
Karl: Lady Peinforte? But Herr De Flores, we've seen a woman in seventeenth century dress today, f*ring arrows at us and at men of silver.
De Flores: Shut up.
Outside the spacecraft
The Doctor: I don't suppose you've completely ignored my instructions and secretly prepared any Nitro Nine, have you?
Ace: What if I had?
The Doctor: Naturally you wouldn't do anything so insanely dangerous as to carry it around with you, would you?
Ace: Of course not. I'm a good girl. I do what I'm told.
The Doctor: Excellent. Blow up that vehicle.
Outside the Crypt
Leader: Destroy them. Destroy them!
Cyberman: We cannot sustain these losses, Leader. We must withdraw.
Leader: No. We must hold the statue and retrieve the arrow from them.
Cyberman: If we are overcome, the entire strategy fails. The Cyber race will cease to exist.
Leader: Your logic is correct. Their supply of gold is limited. Retreat.
Crypt
Peinforte: Of course. Help me, Richard. Tis in my tomb. Help me!
Outside the spacecraft
The Doctor: Hello, I'm the Doctor! I believe you want to k*ll me.
Outside the Crypt
Leader: Betrayal. k*ll them.
Ace: They k*lled them, just cos I blew up the ship.
The Doctor: They were dead already. The Cybermen had transformed them. They were no longer human beings.
Ace: Is that why the Cybermen saved my life, so they could do that to me too?
The Doctor: Probably. They were like people themselves before they turned themselves into Cybermen. Quite a lot of human beings are trying to follow their example.
Crypt
Richard: My lady, where are your bones?
Peinforte: What matter?
Windsor Great Park
The Doctor: Are we still jamming them?
Ace: Tape's still running.
The Doctor: Good. Let's see who's listening to it.
The Doctor: Ah, sweet.
Clearing
De Flores: We want to talk to you. I don't know if you're familiar with Wagner's Ring das Nibelungen. Now we, we are the supermen, but you, you are the giants. They are wonderful creatures.
Leader: Of course, but why should we form an alliance with you?
De Flores: We had a leader once. He predicted your coming. Now together we shall fulfil his vision and reign over this world.
Leader: Together? The Cyber race requires no help from humans.
Karl: But a woman who is almost less that human now holds the statue.
De Flores: And she's armed with the most primitive toys.
Leader: You insult us.
De Flores: Of course not. Whatever your unfortunate vulnerability doesn't affect us. We can remove her for you.
Leader: We accept. Destroy the woman and her servant, and we will divide the planet into your sl*ve groups and ours.
De Flores: Good.
Leader: But remember, betrayal will be fatal. We are invincible to your weapons.
De Flores: Come with me.
Leader: Once they have the arrow and the statue, destroy them.
Windsor Great Park
The Doctor: Anything there?
Ace: Why am I doing this?
The Doctor: That handful back there aren't the only Cybermen in the universe. We've got to find out where the others are.
Ace: Look, this is where the signal's being received, right?
The Doctor: Right.
Ace: But according to the scanner there's nothing there.
The Doctor: Then the scanner's wrong. That lot were only the advance party. Out there somewhere's the entire Cyberforce, and they want the Nemesis more than anything else in space.
Ace: How can you be so sure?
The Doctor: Because it's 1988.
Ace: Huh. That makes sense.
The Doctor: Listen, Ace. The Nemesis generates destruction. It affects everything around it. I launched it into space, but unfortunately with an orbit that brings it back to Earth every twenty five years. Take the twentieth century. It appeared in 1913.
Ace: The eve of the First World w*r.
The Doctor: Twenty five years later?
Ace: 1938.
The Doctor: h*tler annexes Austria.
Ace: 1963?
The Doctor: Kennedy assassinated.
Ace: 1988.
The Doctor: Check the scanner again.
De Flores: Unfortunately, Wagner must be rewritten. The supermen must control the giants. Only two illiterates stand between ourselves and the Fuhrer's dream. Come.
Crypt
Peinforte: How perfect you are. Immaculate beauty carved in absolute evil.
Richard: But your bones, my lady? They should be buried...
Peinforte: What matter? They are dead, but I live, and soon I shall have the bow and my Nemesis shall be complete.
Peinforte: We are att*cked! Quickly, arrows.
Richard: We have but one left, my lady. I doubt that our arrows can stop these weapons anyway.
Peinforte: Nonsense. Make it count. They k*lled the silver creatures.
Richard: See, lady, we have no chance!
Peinforte: Nonsense. No man shall take the Nemesis. Her might is mine!
Peinforte: Not for nothing did I design my own tomb. Death is but a door.
Peinforte: I always knew I'd cheat it. Here, help me with the statue.
Richard: We can't lift it, my lady. We must fly!
Karl: Put up your hands.
Peinforte: Never!
Richard: You want the statue, master? Here, take it. Take it.
Peinforte: No!
Richard: Give her the arrow. See!
Richard: Forgive me, my lady.
Peinforte: Unhand me now!
Peinforte (O.C.): No!
De Flores: No matter, Karl, no matter. They are of no importance. We have the statue, the arrow, and the bow.
Karl: And the Cybermen?
De Flores: Gold overcomes them. We have no such weakness. See how it prepares for life. Your first task must be to take control of the extraterrestrials.
Leader: Unfortunately, that will not be possible.
De Flores: Keep away. I possess the entire statue of Nemesis. All power is mine. The life and death of everything in existence is in my hands.
Leader: Then where is the bow?
Windsor Great Park
The Doctor: Of course. It's so simple. They're shrouded.
Ace: You what?
The Doctor: Shrouded. They don't show up. But we must try and force them into revealing themselves. Treble. Bass. Please let me be right. Is anyone listening? Balance.
Ace: What are they?
The Doctor: Cyber warships. Thousands of them. They were invisible.
