1. Don't let us down now, Valkyrie.Copy !req
2. Fingers crossed, Alan.Copy !req
3. Yeah, I got everything crossed.Copy !req
4. Okay, people.Copy !req
5. Transmission arriving in...Copy !req
6. And we are standing by. Countdown...Copy !req
7. - Ten...Copy !req
8. - Nine.Copy !req
9. - Eight.Copy !req
10. - Seven, six.Copy !req
11. - Five, four.Copy !req
12. - Three.Copy !req
13. - Two.Copy !req
14. - One.Copy !req
15. - Sorry, I could never resist a countdown.Copy !req
16. - Who the hell are you?
Is this Neil Armstrong?Copy !req
17. What?Copy !req
18. Neil Armstrong.Copy !req
19. First man on the moon.Copy !req
20. Not quite the first.Copy !req
21. What, you mean he wasn't
the first man on the moon?Copy !req
22. That is such a human-centric question.Copy !req
23. I'm the human in this setup.Copy !req
24. She is, actually.Copy !req
25. A bit embarrassing, really.Copy !req
26. Who are you people?Copy !req
27. Friendly aliens. Don't mind us.Copy !req
28. Just a day out for the kids.Copy !req
29. - It's from the chief.
- Is it?Copy !req
30. Oh, yes, that's right.
Authorising us to go anywhere we please. So.Copy !req
31. Valkyrie.Copy !req
32. Valkyrie is...Copy !req
33. Probing the Martian ice caps
with a new kind of camera on board.Copy !req
34. Uses a different spectrum to seeCopy !req
35. under the polesCopy !req
36. and beam back pictures.Copy !req
37. What the hell...Copy !req
38. Mars, 1881.Copy !req
39. Or thereabouts. According to the TARDIS,Copy !req
40. that's when the message was made.
Though we may be a bit early.Copy !req
41. So, there were humans on Mars
in Victorian times.Copy !req
42. No.Copy !req
43. There weren't.Copy !req
44. The TARDIS registered
multiple life forms below the surface, sir.Copy !req
45. It seems like the best place to look.Copy !req
46. Maybe someone's been
messing around with time.Copy !req
47. - Like in The Terminator.
- The Terminator?Copy !req
48. It's a movie.Copy !req
49. You haven't seen it?
- I'm a very busy man.Copy !req
50. Well, you'd like it.Copy !req
51. It's got killer robots.Copy !req
52. Oh, I'll put it on the list.Copy !req
53. Even if there are people here,Copy !req
54. why would they bother writing messages
on the surface of the planet?Copy !req
55. State visit, patriotic fervour.Copy !req
56. Rogue graffiti artist.Copy !req
57. Doctor...Copy !req
58. I see it.Copy !req
59. Oh, if there's fire, there's got to be oxygen.Copy !req
60. Wait, wait. Let's not be rash.Copy !req
61. - Okay.
- I'll go first.Copy !req
62. What are you doing?Copy !req
63. Fire, oxygen. Basic physics, innit?Copy !req
64. Could have been basic death.Copy !req
65. Wait, how can there be oxygen here?Copy !req
66. The indigenous Martians
were superb engineers.Copy !req
67. Mind you, there's a lot here
that doesn't make sense.Copy !req
68. Oh, it's like the underground tunnels
in The Thing.Copy !req
69. The what?Copy !req
70. It's a movie.
You'd like that one too. Everybody dies.Copy !req
71. Whoa!Copy !req
72. Bill!Copy !req
73. Bill!Copy !req
74. Bill!Copy !req
75. Bill! Hang on.Copy !req
76. We'll find a way down.Copy !req
77. Go back to the TARDIS.Copy !req
78. Get ropes, lifting gear, anything you can find.Copy !req
79. Oh!Copy !req
80. Nardole, what the hell are you doing?Copy !req
81. So, this could go very well.Copy !req
82. Or very badly.Copy !req
83. Halt!Copy !req
84. I say,Copy !req
85. we weren't expecting company.Copy !req
86. Right.Copy !req
87. Uh...Copy !req
88. Yeah...Copy !req
89. Right.Copy !req
90. No...Copy !req
91. By the moons, I honour thee.Copy !req
92. I'm The Doctor.Copy !req
93. What is your name?Copy !req
94. I know your people of old. I was onceCopy !req
95. honorary guardian of the Tythonian Hive.Copy !req
96. Don't move.Copy !req
97. I'll sort this bugger out.Copy !req
98. No, no, no, no, no. You don't understand.Copy !req
99. This creature is no threat.Copy !req
100. He may look like a monster to you...Copy !req
101. I wasn't talking to you.Copy !req
102. You all right, Friday?Copy !req
103. Sir.Copy !req
104. Who are you and what the devil
are you doing here?Copy !req
105. Well, I could ask you the same question.Copy !req
106. And I will.Copy !req
107. Hello?Copy !req
108. Hello, miss?Copy !req
109. I was wondering if I could ask for your help.Copy !req
110. Uh, I need to get to Mars...Copy !req
111. Er, well, I need to get back to Mars in fact.Copy !req
112. Erm, and it's a little bit urgent,Copy !req
113. only the TARDIS is acting up.Copy !req
114. And I was wondering if you could tell me
how to fix...Copy !req
115. Of course, I can.Copy !req
116. Oh.Copy !req
117. Right. Well, thank you.Copy !req
118. It's probably easier if I just show you.Copy !req
119. Oh. Erm...Copy !req
120. Er...Copy !req
121. Indian or China, my dear?Copy !req
122. Erm...Copy !req
123. I don't know...Copy !req
124. China?Copy !req
125. Where's Nardole?Copy !req
126. Um...Copy !req
127. Well, he seems to have taken the TARDIS.Copy !req
128. - What?
- It's...Copy !req
129. I'm sure it's only
a temporary thing, you know,Copy !req
130. but it means that for the time being we're...Copy !req
131. Stuck here on Mars.Copy !req
132. You were saying, Colonel.Copy !req
133. Oh, uh, well, yes.Copy !req
134. I was stationed out there,
er, South Africa.Copy !req
135. One day, I came across something
in the veld.Copy !req
136. Something that was clearly not of this Earth.Copy !req
137. An inter-planetary vessel.Copy !req
138. I found Friday here, on board,
in a sort of coma.Copy !req
139. Half dead.Copy !req
140. Why do you call him that?Copy !req
141. Man Friday?Copy !req
142. As in Robinson Crusoe?Copy !req
143. So...Copy !req
144. According to this,Copy !req
145. you've been on board Friday's shipCopy !req
146. the whole time?Copy !req
147. Yes, but we were...Copy !req
148. That was... That sounds...Copy !req
149. - That sounds... Quite...
- Convincing.Copy !req
150. That sounds... Yes, that's right.Copy !req
151. On his ship.Copy !req
152. Well, I suppose it was
pretty roomy, what!Copy !req
153. - It was, yes. Wasn't it? Very roomy.
- Yes.Copy !req
154. But the whole, you know, I mean,
getting on board...Copy !req
155. I mean, that's all...Copy !req
156. It's all a bit hazy.Copy !req
157. Maybe you could tell us everything.Copy !req
158. Yes, well, erm...Copy !req
159. After I woke him up,Copy !req
160. Friday asked for my help.Copy !req
161. To repair his spaceship?Copy !req
162. Yes, and to bring him home.Copy !req
163. In return for what?Copy !req
164. Er...Copy !req
165. Well, now...Copy !req
166. That is the question.Copy !req
167. Prepare to fire!Copy !req
168. On the double! Go, go, go!Copy !req
169. Friday helped
us build the Gargantua.Copy !req
170. A remarkable piece of mining equipmentCopy !req
171. fashioned from one of his ship's artillery.Copy !req
172. He promised us
gemstones, you see.Copy !req
173. Silver, gold, treasure
beyond our wildest dreams.Copy !req
174. That's why you helped him come home.Copy !req
175. To claim Mars in the name of Queen Victoria.Copy !req
176. To loot it of its riches.Copy !req
177. Stake a claim.Copy !req
178. The Red Planet turned pink.Copy !req
179. That was the general idea, old love.Copy !req
180. But there's nothing here.Copy !req
181. The whole show has been a ruddy washout.Copy !req
182. The ship crashed on landing.Copy !req
183. I go topside now and then to see
if I can repair the beggar.Copy !req
184. That's what I was doing
when I ran across you.Copy !req
185. And?Copy !req
186. - No joy so far.
- It could have been a fresh start.Copy !req
187. For all of us.Copy !req
188. But now...Copy !req
189. Supplies are running as low as morale.Copy !req
190. Things are pretty desperate, I'm afraid.Copy !req
191. You told us why you came here.Copy !req
192. What does he get out of it?Copy !req
193. Nothing.Copy !req
194. Nothing?Copy !req
195. Well, he was hoping to find his people,Copy !req
196. but it appears that he was asleep on that ship
for much longer than he anticipated.Copy !req
197. Mars is dead.Copy !req
198. Dead as a coffin nail.Copy !req
199. Friday's the last of his kind.Copy !req
200. Is he now?Copy !req
201. You know what Friday is then?Copy !req
202. He's an Ice Warrior.Copy !req
203. And they're the proper Martians, right?Copy !req
204. They belong here.Copy !req
205. Yes. The indigenous species.Copy !req
206. An ancient reptilian race,
they build themselves as sort ofCopy !req
207. bio-mechanical armour for protection.
The creature withinCopy !req
208. is at one with his carapace.Copy !req
209. The Ice Warriors.Copy !req
210. They could build a city under the sand,Copy !req
211. yet drench the snows of MarsCopy !req
212. with innocent blood.Copy !req
213. They could slaughter whole civilizations,Copy !req
214. yet weep with the crushing of a flower.Copy !req
215. Like the Vikings.Copy !req
216. Yes.Copy !req
217. - Yes, very much.
- Yeah.Copy !req
218. Kirk Douglas and Tony Curtis.
Ah, the theme tune is amazing.Copy !req
219. There's this brilliant bitCopy !req
220. where, where his eye gets gouged out...Copy !req
221. Why have you really come back?Copy !req
222. I'm old.Copy !req
223. And tired.Copy !req
224. And spent.Copy !req
225. Now then, Vincey. Look lively, lad.Copy !req
226. What's the point though?Copy !req
227. - Jackdaw...
- Months we've been digging here.Copy !req
228. And what have we got to show for it?Copy !req
229. Sweet Fanny Adams, that's what!Copy !req
230. Yeah.Copy !req
231. What old Friday promised,
it's a load of gammon.Copy !req
232. - Jackdaw.
- Wha...Copy !req
233. You must come at once, sir.Copy !req
234. The Gargantua...Copy !req
235. She's... She's uncovered something.Copy !req
236. Good Lord.Copy !req
237. Looks like old Friday came good after all, eh?Copy !req
238. Oh, it's beautiful.Copy !req
239. What is it? A tomb?Copy !req
240. Not just any tomb.Copy !req
241. This is the tomb of an Ice queen.Copy !req
242. I've a bad feeling about this.Copy !req
243. These sarcophagi were sometimes partCopy !req
244. of a complex hibernation system.Copy !req
245. Sergeant Major, get these civilians
out of here.Copy !req
246. No, Colonel, Colonel!
You have to let me examine this.Copy !req
247. Well, now, I think not, Doctor.Copy !req
248. This is a military matter.Copy !req
249. This may not just be a grave
you have uncovered.Copy !req
250. This could be the entrance
to an Ice Warrior hive.Copy !req
251. What?Copy !req
252. Sergeant Major Peach, I gave you an order.Copy !req
253. I'm in charge here, Catchglove.Copy !req
254. Yes, sir.Copy !req
255. - Of course, sir.
- Post a guard.Copy !req
256. No one's to come near this thing
until the morning. Is that clear?Copy !req
257. Yes, sir.Copy !req
258. The last thing I'm going to do
is take sides.Copy !req
259. But isn't that obvious?Copy !req
260. Friday's been using you all along.Copy !req
261. His aim was to get back to Mars
and find his queen.Copy !req
262. Nonsense.Copy !req
263. He was leading us to the riches
he promised us.Copy !req
264. The simple fact is you don't belong here.Copy !req
265. The sooner you get off this planet, the better.Copy !req
266. Don't belong?Copy !req
267. We're British.Copy !req
268. Mars is part of the Empire now.Copy !req
269. What happened to not taking sides?Copy !req
270. I'm trying to save their lives.Copy !req
271. Let's face it.
In this scenario, the humans are the invaders.Copy !req
272. On the other hand, the Ice Warriors
have vastly superior armamentsCopy !req
273. which will wipe the humans out.Copy !req
274. So what am I supposed to do?Copy !req
275. Here you go, Sarge.Copy !req
276. Much obliged, I'm sure, Jackdaw.Copy !req
277. Don't I get none?Copy !req
278. R-H-I-P, son.Copy !req
279. Eh?Copy !req
280. "Rank has its privileges."Copy !req
281. Christ alive.Copy !req
282. Look at the guild on that thing.Copy !req
283. That would set up a fellow for life, Vincey,Copy !req
284. even just a little bit of it...Copy !req
285. Now then, you horrible, old man.Copy !req
286. Don't go getting no fancy notions.Copy !req
287. I'm sure the Colonel will be
distributing this munificenceCopy !req
288. in a fair and decent fashion.Copy !req
289. And we can all look forward to...Copy !req
290. To...Copy !req
291. A rosy future.Copy !req
292. Sarge?Copy !req
293. Jackdaw, what have you done?Copy !req
294. Acquired that from the infirmary.Copy !req
295. He'd be as right as ninepence come dawn.Copy !req
296. - But by then, I'll be gone.
- Gone?Copy !req
297. Gone where? In case you've forgotten,
we're marooned on ruddy Mars.Copy !req
298. You don't know what I know, sir.Copy !req
299. Captain Catchglove's further on
with his repairs than he's let on.Copy !req
300. Oh, yes, my old love.Copy !req
301. Jackdaw's going home.Copy !req
302. But this time, he'll be minted.Copy !req
303. Come on, give us a hand.Copy !req
304. Right.Copy !req
305. - Keep an eye out, will you?
- No.Copy !req
306. You ain't getting me involved
in this lie, Jackdaw.Copy !req
307. Oh, go on. Be a sport.Copy !req
308. You'll get your share of the rhino.Copy !req
309. I promise.Copy !req
310. Someone's coming, Jackdaw.Copy !req
311. We'll ruddy swing for this.Copy !req
312. Jackdaw?Copy !req
313. Come on, mate. Don't muck about.Copy !req
314. Jackdaw?Copy !req
315. What manner
of fleshy worm are you?Copy !req
316. Speak.Copy !req
317. What the hell?Copy !req
318. That wasCopy !req
319. unwise.Copy !req
320. Your Majesty.Copy !req
321. By the moons, I honour thee.Copy !req
322. Iraxxa, My Empress, My Queen.Copy !req
323. My sentinel.Copy !req
324. You have fulfilled your pledge.Copy !req
325. I am resurrected.Copy !req
326. Forgive me, Majesty,Copy !req
327. but we have slept longer than anticipated.Copy !req
328. By my calculations, Majesty,Copy !req
329. we have slept for 5,000 years.Copy !req
330. Five thousand years!Copy !req
331. Guards, guards, hurry!Copy !req
332. Move, move!
Come on, you lot!Copy !req
333. What the devil?Copy !req
334. What the hell is going on here, Friday?Copy !req
335. Colonel, let me speak to them. I can do this.
I can sort this out.Copy !req
336. Who the devil is this?Copy !req
337. She is Iraxxa, Empress of Mars.Copy !req
338. The deuce she is.Copy !req
339. You think you can just go about slaughtering
my men willy-nilly, do you, madam?Copy !req
340. Your men?Copy !req
341. What does the pink thing say?Copy !req
342. Pink thing!Copy !req
343. Sergeant Major!Copy !req
344. - Call to arms!
- No, no, no, wait.Copy !req
345. Wait, Catchglove, wait.Copy !req
346. Your Honour must be satisfied.
An eye for an eye.Copy !req
347. I am in command here.Copy !req
348. All right.Copy !req
349. By the moons, I honour thee.Copy !req
350. I am The Doctor.Copy !req
351. And I beg leave to intercede.Copy !req
352. You know my race.Copy !req
353. I do.Copy !req
354. And I ask mercy for these primitives...Copy !req
355. - Primitives!
- Shh!Copy !req
356. Majesty,Copy !req
357. the world you knew is dead.Copy !req
358. The atmosphere has all but evaporated.Copy !req
359. The surface is lifeless.Copy !req
360. If there are othersCopy !req
361. who sleep here,Copy !req
362. they cannot survive on Mars without help.Copy !req
363. You must cooperate if you want to survive.Copy !req
364. He speaks the truth, Majesty.Copy !req
365. The war, all that we've fought forCopy !req
366. is less than the dust now.Copy !req
367. And you?Copy !req
368. Female.Copy !req
369. What do you say?Copy !req
370. Me?Copy !req
371. We are both surroundedCopy !req
372. by noisy males.Copy !req
373. I would value your opinion.Copy !req
374. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, er...Copy !req
375. They're not lying to you.Copy !req
376. There's no need for anyone else to die today.Copy !req
377. The humans saved his life.Copy !req
378. Is this true?Copy !req
379. His cryogenic cell was damaged.
They saved him.Copy !req
380. And made him their pet!Copy !req
381. It was necessary
to dissemble, Majesty.Copy !req
382. I thought only of your resurrection.Copy !req
383. It was a tactical decision.Copy !req
384. An Ice Warrior's duty is to command.Copy !req
385. Present!Copy !req
386. Iraxxa, listen to me.Copy !req
387. The Mars you ruled is gone.Copy !req
388. But don't let it end this way!Copy !req
389. Fight this.Copy !req
390. For the future.Copy !req
391. Not a dead past.Copy !req
392. - You bloody fool!
Sorry, sir.Copy !req
393. Down, put your gun down. Halt.Copy !req
394. Majesty.Copy !req
395. Are you all right?Copy !req
396. You ask for mercy for these creatures.Copy !req
397. Indeed.Copy !req
398. Then I grant it.Copy !req
399. Thank you.Copy !req
400. They will die...Copy !req
401. Quickly.Copy !req
402. No! Colonel! Get your men out of here!Copy !req
403. Colonel!Copy !req
404. Colonel!Copy !req
405. Retreat, retreat!Copy !req
406. Catchglove, listen to me.
Your only chance is to come to terms.Copy !req
407. But we have the Gargantua.Copy !req
408. - Is she primed and aimed, Sergeant?
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
409. No, no, I forbid you. That is not the way...Copy !req
410. Oh, forbid. You forbid?Copy !req
411. Well, this farce has gone on long enough.Copy !req
412. Arms at the ready!Copy !req
413. Ready...Copy !req
414. No, no. Don't shoot him, for God's sake.Copy !req
415. Put it down!Copy !req
416. Put your guns down.Copy !req
417. What the devil!Copy !req
418. That'll hold him.Copy !req
419. We're about to go to war,
so it's time you knewCopy !req
420. the truth.Copy !req
421. Listen to me, men.Copy !req
422. The Colonel is not what he appears.Copy !req
423. The hero of Isandlwana!Copy !req
424. - Show them your famous wounds.
- No, no, no.Copy !req
425. - No, please. No, no, no, please.
- Show them!Copy !req
426. The mark of a rope.Copy !req
427. While you were fighting
for Queen and country,Copy !req
428. the Colonel hereCopy !req
429. was dancing the Newgate Polka.Copy !req
430. This...Copy !req
431. This is the mark of the rope
that failed to hang him for desertion.Copy !req
432. They tried to hang him but they bungled it.Copy !req
433. He's a paper tiger.Copy !req
434. Not fit to command.Copy !req
435. Look, it doesn't matter who's in charge
of your stupid expedition.Copy !req
436. You don't stand a chance
against the Ice Warriors.Copy !req
437. What? All two of them?Copy !req
438. There will be more, you idiot.Copy !req
439. The hive is active.Copy !req
440. Don't you see? They'll do anything
to defend their home planet.Copy !req
441. Well, I dare say the British armyCopy !req
442. is more than a match
for a bunch of upright crocodiles.Copy !req
443. - Sergeant Major!
- Sir.Copy !req
444. I'm assuming command.Copy !req
445. Take the Colonel and put him in the brig.Copy !req
446. Sergeant Major Peach, I gave you an order.Copy !req
447. Very good, sir.Copy !req
448. Private!Copy !req
449. If you would be so good
as to come this way, sir.Copy !req
450. Oh, and for the last time,Copy !req
451. get these wretched people out of my sight.Copy !req
452. - Put them in the brig too.
- Go on.Copy !req
453. There's no room for civilians here.Copy !req
454. - This isn't over, Catchglove.
No.Copy !req
455. It ain't.Copy !req
456. Not now Neville Catchglove's in charge.Copy !req
457. You'll regret this.Copy !req
458. In a couple of hours,
you'll be begging for help.Copy !req
459. It will take time to revive all of my warriors.Copy !req
460. But perhaps enough are awokenCopy !req
461. to go on the offensive.Copy !req
462. If either
of those creatures get out of there,Copy !req
463. - we'll be ready for them.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
464. - Carry on, Sergeant Major.
- We won't let you down, sir.Copy !req
465. There's no setting for wood. Why is there
still no setting for wood?Copy !req
466. But you got a plan?Copy !req
467. Yes, of course, I've got a plan.
I'm all plans. I'm made of plans.Copy !req
468. Who the deuce are you two, really?Copy !req
469. You speak of us as though
we're a different species.Copy !req
470. You seem to know all about these, uh,
these Ice Warrior.Copy !req
471. You seem to know a lot about most things.Copy !req
472. Well...Copy !req
473. - We're sort of police.
- Speak for yourself.Copy !req
474. What? You can deal with big, green MartiansCopy !req
475. and rocket ships,
but you can't deal with us being the police.Copy !req
476. No. No, it's just suchCopy !req
477. a fanciful notion.
A woman in the police force.Copy !req
478. - Listen.Copy !req
479. Yeah.Copy !req
480. I'm going to make allowances
for your Victorian attitudesCopy !req
481. because...Copy !req
482. Well, you actually are Victorian.Copy !req
483. But anyway. Is it true?Copy !req
484. You deserted?Copy !req
485. Why?Copy !req
486. Oh...Copy !req
487. Cowardice.Copy !req
488. Simple cowardice.Copy !req
489. I thought I had it in me to command,
Miss Potts,Copy !req
490. but when push came to shove, I flunked it.Copy !req
491. Deserted my post.Copy !req
492. Catchglove's the only one who knew
and he's bled me dry.Copy !req
493. It could have been a fresh start.Copy !req
494. For all of us.Copy !req
495. How's it looking out there?Copy !req
496. All quiet.Copy !req
497. It's traditional at this point to say...Copy !req
498. Too quiet.Copy !req
499. Always liked the Colonel, I did.Copy !req
500. Seemed a decent chap.Copy !req
501. We must take orders
from the Captain now, son.Copy !req
502. Them's the rules.Copy !req
503. Sir.Copy !req
504. Blimey, Sarge,
this is quite...Copy !req
505. to tell your kids.Copy !req
506. I mean Mars!Copy !req
507. You just face front and mark
your man when you see him, Vincey lad.Copy !req
508. I should have known, I should.Copy !req
509. Wait till Alice hears all this.Copy !req
510. Set a date, have you, son?Copy !req
511. You and your Alice?Copy !req
512. Oh, not yet.
When I have enough put by to make us comfy.Copy !req
513. Then we'll get married in that little church
with the twisted spireCopy !req
514. back home, down by the river.Copy !req
515. Oh, it's so green there, Sarge.Copy !req
516. It's beautiful.Copy !req
517. I miss the trees.Copy !req
518. And the grass.Copy !req
519. I never want to see red again
in all my puff.Copy !req
520. I just wanna see...Copy !req
521. How in God's name did they get behind us?Copy !req
522. Turn it!Copy !req
523. For God's sake, 90 degrees!Copy !req
524. It won't work, sir!Copy !req
525. We need more men!Copy !req
526. Catchglove, this is senseless slaughter!Copy !req
527. Front, commit!Copy !req
528. Fire!Copy !req
529. Come on, lads, there's only three of them!Copy !req
530. Sleep no more, my warriors,Copy !req
531. sleep no more.Copy !req
532. It is time.Copy !req
533. Doctor, what do we do?Copy !req
534. There's no way out!Copy !req
535. Close it! Close the gap!Copy !req
536. Retreat! Retreat! Run for it!Copy !req
537. Sir, what do we do?Copy !req
538. Oh, sod this, for a game of soldiers.Copy !req
539. Friday?Copy !req
540. Doctor, we must work together.Copy !req
541. Rise, my Ice Warriors! Rise!Copy !req
542. Regroup!
For the honour of the regiment!Copy !req
543. No way!Copy !req
544. Wait, wait, wait, wait, where are you going?Copy !req
545. I'm sorry, Doctor. Blue funk, can't help it.Copy !req
546. I can't do it. I'm sorry.Copy !req
547. I need a distraction.Copy !req
548. - You got one.
- Good luck.Copy !req
549. Oi! Queenie!Copy !req
550. Let's talk.Copy !req
551. Woman to woman.Copy !req
552. You valued my opinion before.Copy !req
553. Perhaps.Copy !req
554. But this is war.Copy !req
555. Why?Copy !req
556. Why does it have to be war?Copy !req
557. You're Majesty, she's right.Copy !req
558. You have forged a new alliance, I see.Copy !req
559. Uh, we can stand together.Copy !req
560. It's too late.Copy !req
561. Mars stands alone.Copy !req
562. We are strong.Copy !req
563. Soon, all my warriors will wake.Copy !req
564. We do not require assistance.Copy !req
565. Your Majesty!Copy !req
566. Oh, Your Majesty!Copy !req
567. I wouldn't do that if I were you.Copy !req
568. Stand down or I'll fire.Copy !req
569. Fire at what?Copy !req
570. Well, geography was never my strong suit,Copy !req
571. but aren't we underneath Mars' north pole?Copy !req
572. Over our heads,
millions of tons of snow and ice.Copy !req
573. One good blast from the Gargantua here,Copy !req
574. your army will be on ice forever.Copy !req
575. Trapped in an eternal winter.Copy !req
576. Like...Copy !req
577. Like Frozen.Copy !req
578. It's a movie.Copy !req
579. You would destroy yourself at the same time.Copy !req
580. Well, that's a price worth paying, isn't it?Copy !req
581. It's a simple choice, Iraxxa,
the oldest in the book.Copy !req
582. We must live together...Copy !req
583. Or die together.Copy !req
584. You dare to touch me!Copy !req
585. Yes, I dare.Copy !req
586. Don't do this, Captain. Don't mess this up.Copy !req
587. No choice, old boy.Copy !req
588. You, you see, I suddenly rememberedCopy !req
589. I need a bit of a hand getting that ruddy ship
off the ground.Copy !req
590. And who better to ask
than the Ice Queen herself?Copy !req
591. Call off your dogs, Your Majesty.Copy !req
592. Call them off.Copy !req
593. That's better.Copy !req
594. 'Course, er, I will have to dynamite the lifts
to stop you following,Copy !req
595. but, erm...Copy !req
596. Well, war is hell, what?Copy !req
597. You want to escape, I can help.Copy !req
598. Just leave Iraxxa with her people.
Don't mess this up.Copy !req
599. Oh, thank you, Doctor, but, erm,Copy !req
600. I think I prefer my plan.Copy !req
601. Gentlemen!Copy !req
602. It's been a privilege, however brief,
to command you, but...Copy !req
603. All good things come to an end.Copy !req
604. I think you'll find, Captain...Copy !req
605. - That I'm in command, here.Copy !req
606. You sacrificed one of your ownCopy !req
607. without tactical advantage.Copy !req
608. No, I didn't sacrifice him.Copy !req
609. I executed him.Copy !req
610. Do you now expect your life to be spared?Copy !req
611. No. No, no, no.Copy !req
612. I expect it to be taken.Copy !req
613. And I give it willingly.Copy !req
614. No, no, no, wait...Copy !req
615. - Stop this, Doctor. Stop it.Copy !req
616. Some time ago,Copy !req
617. I was hanged for cowardice.Copy !req
618. The execution took longer than expected,Copy !req
619. and I fear I have not used my time well.Copy !req
620. I should be happy for youCopy !req
621. to complete the work
they failed to do so long ago.Copy !req
622. It will be a pleasure.Copy !req
623. - No, please don't do this.
- Bill, quiet!Copy !req
624. He saved your life!Copy !req
625. Your Majesty, I have a request,
if that may be permitted.Copy !req
626. Speak.Copy !req
627. That man was not one of us.Copy !req
628. Please do not judge mankind by his cruelty
or, indeed, by my cowardice.Copy !req
629. Spare my friends and my world.Copy !req
630. Your request does you credit, soldier.Copy !req
631. It will be considered.Copy !req
632. God save the Queen!Copy !req
633. God save the Queen!Copy !req
634. You will die with honour.Copy !req
635. With bravery.Copy !req
636. And in the service of those
you swore to protect.Copy !req
637. Thank you.Copy !req
638. You don't know what that means.Copy !req
639. Thank you.Copy !req
640. But not today.Copy !req
641. In battle...Copy !req
642. Soldier.Copy !req
643. To die in battle is the way of the Warrior.Copy !req
644. Pledge your allegiance to me and my world,Copy !req
645. and I will ensureCopy !req
646. you have the opportunity.Copy !req
647. My life and my service are yours.Copy !req
648. To the end.Copy !req
649. To the death,Copy !req
650. my friend.Copy !req
651. To the death.Copy !req
652. You knew that would happen.Copy !req
653. Always been my problem.Copy !req
654. What?
- Thinking like a warrior.Copy !req
655. Ugh.Copy !req
656. There we are.Copy !req
657. Er, I've sent out a sort of round robin e-mail.Copy !req
658. All being well,
the first intelligent space-going systemCopy !req
659. will be in touch fairly soon.Copy !req
660. Thank you, Doctor.Copy !req
661. Mars is dead, but the Ice Warriors will live on.Copy !req
662. Will they make it?Copy !req
663. Oh, yes.Copy !req
664. In fact, this might be the beginning
of the Martian Golden Age.Copy !req
665. Are you receiving us?
Mars, are you receiving?Copy !req
666. This is Iraxxa,Copy !req
667. Queen Empress of Mars.Copy !req
668. Ah, excellent!
We have received details of your situation.Copy !req
669. We would be happy to send a fleet
to your aid at once.Copy !req
670. A physical marker of some sort would
be appreciated to guide our ships.Copy !req
671. To whom am I speaking?Copy !req
672. This is Alpha Centauri.Copy !req
673. Welcome to the universe.Copy !req
674. Big enough?Copy !req
675. For the ship to see?Copy !req
676. I think so.Copy !req
677. You gonna be okay?Copy !req
678. Well, that's twice I've been executed.Copy !req
679. Whatever happens now,
it's gonna be better than I expected.Copy !req
680. Ah, there's nothing for me
back on Earth and...Copy !req
681. To help forge a new world, well,
that would be my privilege.Copy !req
682. Seems a shame, though.Copy !req
683. What does?Copy !req
684. Well, no one back on Earth will ever know
that we got here.Copy !req
685. All will be forgotten.Copy !req
686. Oh, not quite forgotten, Colonel.Copy !req
687. You've changed the mind-set
of a very stubborn Martian monarch.Copy !req
688. And one day...Copy !req
689. Even though the ice cap may obscure it,Copy !req
690. someone's going to notice that.Copy !req
691. So, er...Copy !req
692. What did I miss?Copy !req
693. Where have you been?Copy !req
694. Yeah, er,
before you go getting all frowny,Copy !req
695. er, well, er...Copy !req
696. Are you all right?Copy !req
697. This can't happen.Copy !req
698. This is not what we agreed to.Copy !req
699. I'm gonna have to put you
back in the vault, you know that.Copy !req
700. Sure.Copy !req
701. That's fine.Copy !req
702. What?Copy !req
703. But, Doctor, please, tell me, really,Copy !req
704. are you all right?Copy !req
705. The Ninth Legion
and the Keeper of the Gate.Copy !req
706. - They disappeared.
- Except they didn't.Copy !req
707. Where is my friend,
and what destroyed the Roman army?Copy !req
708. Something here managed
to wipe out 5,000 Romans.Copy !req
709. Doctor!Copy !req
710. Every hour
of sunlight that feeds it...Copy !req
711. Makes the world darker...Copy !req
712. And the beast stronger.Copy !req
