Part Four
First Air Date: 12 January 1983
Running time: 24:28
DOCTOR: We know who you are.
OMEGA (on monitor): That changes nothing. Transfer will take place as planned.
BORUSA: But you are anti-matter.
DOCTOR: You seriously believe you can reverse what happened?
OMEGA (on monitor): Oh yes, Doctor.
BORUSA: Not without Hedin's help. Your friend is dead.
DOCTOR: Omega, listen!
BORUSA: Omega must be found and stopped.
DOCTOR: We know he's on Earth.
NYSSA: He has a friend of ours c*ptive. Tegan, an Earthwoman.
BORUSA: Would she know their precise location?
DOCTOR: Perhaps, but I would have to enter the Matrix to find out.
NYSSA: No. Omega's mad. He'll k*ll her.
DOCTOR: Please, Nyssa
NYSSA: You know that
DOCTOR: Wait in the TARDIS! Please.
DOCTOR: Even if we know where Omega is, can the TARDIS leave Gallifrey?
BORUSA: We will contrive a way for you to leave.
DOCTOR: Well, Omega, you've won. We can't stop you now.
OMEGA: It cost Hedin's life to convince you.
DOCTOR: That was an accident. Is Tegan safe?
OMEGA: She is.
DOCTOR: Prove it. Let me speak to her.
TEGAN: Help us, Doctor. My cousin, he's sick. We're in an underground crypt behind a fountain
OMEGA: Silence, girl!
DOCTOR: I told you, you've won. Even if we know where you are, we can't leave Gallifrey. You know that.
TEGAN: Holland, Doctor. Amsterdam.
OMEGA: Tell him the precise location and you will die.
TEGAN: JHC!
OMEGA: Silence!
DOCTOR: She's unharmed?
OMEGA: Of course. And so long as you do not work against me, she will remain so.
BORUSA: Amsterdam? Do you know the precise location of this Earth city?
DOCTOR: Yes.
BORUSA: Prepare your TARDIS. Be ready to leave as soon as I communicate with you. Trust me.
TEGAN: The Doctor will find us. If anyone can, he will.
BORUSA: Damon, the Doctor's TARDIS must leave undetected. Isn't there any way of distracting Omega?
DAMON: I've already tested the bypass procedures. Omega has cut us off.
THALIA: A pulse loop, Lord President?
BORUSA: Of course! Fetch it, Damon. Thalia, prepare the Matrix terminal.
ZORAC: A pulse loop?
BORUSA: Oh, a simple device to trace faults on the master circuits.
THALIA: It has a photon pulse. Omega will have to track it down to confirm that we're not trying to bypass the matrix control.
BORUSA: And in the confusion it will allow the Doctor's TARDIS to leave undetected.
NYSSA: Well?
DOCTOR: Don't worry, Tegan's unharmed.
BORUSA: Are you ready to leave, Doctor?
DOCTOR: As soon as you give the word.
BORUSA: Right.
DAMON: Now.
BORUSA: Now. Go, Doctor.
BORUSA: Doctor?
DOCTOR: We're clear. Come on, Nyssa.
NYSSA: Now what?
DOCTOR: One or two things I've got to get together.
DAMON: It's working, sir. Omega is confused.
NYSSA: We're almost ready to materialise.
DOCTOR: Good.
NYSSA: What's that for?
DOCTOR: Omega's using a fusion booster to build up energy to transfer. If we can attach this, it should knock it out of phase.
NYSSA: Isn't that dangerous?
DOCTOR: Hopefully it'll feed the power back through his own equipment.
NYSSA: A kind of short circuit.
DOCTOR: Exactly. How's the meter?
NYSSA: Now calibrated to detect any change in anti-matter.
DAMON: Omega's destroyed the loop.
BORUSA: Let's hope it gave the Doctor all the time he needed.
DOCTOR: I don't believe it.
NYSSA: What?
DOCTOR: I think we made it. Come on.
STUART: It sounds like a power house in there.
NYSSA: How do you know where to look?
DOCTOR: When I spoke to Tegan, she mentioned her cousin and the JHC.
NYSSA: So?
DOCTOR: She risked her life to give us that piece of information. If we find out what the JHC is, it might lead us to where she is.
NYSSA: How will you find out?
DOCTOR: We'll start with the telephone directory.
NYSSA: You're dealing with a Time Lord, Doctor. You won't find answers in there.
DOCTOR: Won't we? JHC, JHC, JHC, JHC, JHC Jeugdherberg Central Youth Hostels. Must be where Tegan was staying.
NYSSA: So?
DOCTOR: Well, there's not many of them. We'll give them a ring. Ah. Nyssa, money?
NYSSA: You must have a coin somewhere. Is that it?
DOCTOR: Afraid so. Anti-matter present but steady. Omega hasn't transferred yet, but it can't be much longer.
NYSSA: Can you find him using that?
DOCTOR: If only it were that easy.
NYSSA: What now?
DOCTOR: No other choice. We must check every hostel on foot.
NYSSA: Can't we use the TARDIS?
DOCTOR: Can't risk it. Might alert Omega. This way.
BORUSA: Ah, Castellan.
CASTELLAN: You wanted to see me, Lord President?
BORUSA: You wish to resign.
CASTELLAN: I had no right, without evidence, to accuse the Doctor of treason.
BORUSA: True, you made a foolish mistake, but ultimately we are judged by how much we profit from our mistakes. Will you?
CASTELLAN: Who can say, Lord President?
BORUSA: Your offer to resign is refused, Castellan. You will return to duty forthwith.
DAMON: Lord President, Omega's transfer is imminent.
NYSSA: This could take forever.
DOCTOR: Well, there's no other way.
NYSSA: That receptionist wasn't very friendly. What if he was being difficult, chose not to remember Tegan.
DOCTOR: We go on, Nyssa.
NYSSA: Can't the Time Lords help?
DOCTOR: No, they've done all they can, and now it's up to us.
DOCTOR: We'll try one more hostel, then we'll split up. Divide our effort.
NYSSA: How much time do we have?
DOCTOR: Well, it can't be long. I fear Omega is about to transfer.
MAN: We have no record of a Miss Jovanka.
DOCTOR: And what about her cousin?
MAN: How would I know that, sir?
DOCTOR: Yes. Sorry. Well, thank you.
MAN: Excuse me? You said your friend was from Australia?
DOCTOR: Yes.
MAN: Well, I wasn't on duty yesterday, but there was an Australian. Colin Frazer. One moment, please.
NYSSA: Isn't there anything at all we can do?
DOCTOR: No. Tegan is our only link.
RECEPTIONIST: Excuse me. You wish to know about Miss Jovanka?
DOCTOR: Yes.
RECEPTIONIST: Well, Mister Stuart, a friend of Mister Frazer, left something for her. I was to give this to her if he missed her at the airport.
DOCTOR: May I see?
RECEPTIONIST: Well, I'm not supposed to
NYSSA: It's very important we find her.
DOCTOR: Frankendael. Where is that?
RECEPTIONIST: Frankendael? Not far.
DOCTOR: Could you show me?
RECEPTIONIST: Of course.
RECEPTIONIST: Er, there.
DOCTOR: Thank you.
DOCTOR: Thank you.
NYSSA: Where is it?
DOCTOR: Er, it's very near.
DOCTOR: Oh, sorry.
NYSSA: Oh, I'm so sorry.
DOCTOR: Sorry, sorry.
DAMON: Come on, Doctor. Come on.
DOCTOR: Frankendael!
NYSSA: I can't see a crypt. It must be behind the house.
DOCTOR: It's only a matter of minutes. The fountain! Tegan said behind the fountain.
NYSSA: Where could they be?
DOCTOR: Well, that depends on the form Omega's given his TARDIS. Listen.
DOCTOR: Yes, perfect.
NYSSA: Doctor?
DOCTOR: Of course. I've been so silly. Amsterdam is located on the curve of the Arc, below sea level to maintain pressure for fusion conversion.
DOCTOR: The fusion booster from Gallifrey.
DOCTOR: Nyssa!
DOCTOR: Nyssa! Fire, Nyssa!
NYSSA: What was it?
DOCTOR: An Ergon. One of Omega's less successful attempts at psychosynthesis. Quickly.
OMEGA: Drop the w*apon, Doctor. Drop it, or the Earthwoman dies.
NYSSA: Tegan!
DOCTOR: It's too late, Omega. You can't transfer now.
OMEGA: I have all the energy I need.
OMEGA: What have you done?
DOCTOR: The Arc of Infinity is shifting. Go, Omega, please, while you still have a chance.
OMEGA: I must transfer. Cease to be anti-matter.
DOCTOR: Down!
OMEGA: Yes, Doctor. I live.
DOCTOR: No. The bond is not complete.
OMEGA: Isn't it?
DOCTOR: It's not permanent. It will fail, revert to anti-matter.
OMEGA: You're wrong, Doctor. I have life again. You destroyed my TARDIS, but I shall build another. Expect me on Gallifrey soon.
NYSSA: Doctor, quickly.
DOCTOR: I must find the matter converter. I can't destroy Omega without it. Tegan, help me!
TEGAN: I must help Colin.
DOCTOR: Tegan, hurry!
DAMON: The Doctor has failed. Anti-matter, and building up fast.
TEGAN: Doctor!
TEGAN: Omega k*lled him?
DOCTOR: Yes. He'd want to hide himself in the crowd. Well, at least we have some idea of what he's wearing.
TEGAN: What happens if we don't find him?
DOCTOR: The biggest expl*si*n this part of the universe is ever likely to witness.
DOCTOR: He can't be far ahead.
TEGAN: How much time do we have?
DOCTOR: I don't know. The magnetic shield is in accelerated decay now.
NYSSA: What'll happen?
DOCTOR: He'll revert to anti-matter.
TEGAN: Doctor!
ZORAC: The Doctor's not going to be able to contain it.
CASTELLAN: I've found it unwise to predict what the Doctor can or cannot do.
TEGAN: We've lost him.
DOCTOR: I see you, Omega.
NYSSA: Doctor!
DOCTOR: This way.
DOCTOR: He'll be all right.
TEGAN: Are you okay?
DOCTOR: He'll be all right.
DAMON: The shielding is going fast.
TEGAN: He's disappeared.
NYSSA: He can't have.
DOCTOR: I warned you this would happen, Omega.
OMEGA: Things could have been different. Power, and the greatness of Omega, could have been yours. But no, your hatred of me
DOCTOR: We didn't hate you, Omega. Why couldn't you be content to survive as you were? Why?
OMEGA: Time to come home, Doctor. Time for rest, to find peace. But it's over now. All must die.
OMEGA: You'll never have the courage to use it, Doctor.
DOCTOR: I can expel or destroy you, Omega. It's your choice.
OMEGA: Too late, Doctor. What you offer is worse than death. If I am denied life, then all must perish.
TEGAN: What's he trying to do?
DOCTOR: Willing his own destruction. Don't force me, Omega.
OMEGA: Farewell, Doctor.
TEGAN: Stop him!
DOCTOR: It's over.
DAMON: The anti-matter source is gone. Omega has been destroyed.
BORUSA: Unfortunate, wretched creature. My hope is that he has found peace at last.
NYSSA: Is Omega dead?
DOCTOR: Well, he seemed to die before, yet he returned to confound us all.
TEGAN: Well, you'll be pleased to hear Colin will be out of hospital in a couple of days and on his way home to Brisbane.
DOCTOR: Excellent.
NYSSA: And what about you?
TEGAN: Oh, indestructible. I'm fine.
DOCTOR: It's been marvellous to see you again.
NYSSA: Indeed. I've missed you. I wish you didn't have to go back to your job.
TEGAN: What job? Didn't I tell you? I got the sack. So you're stuck with me, aren't you.
DOCTOR: So it seems.
