1. Hello, I'm Edward de Souza, and in
1965, I was in an episode of Doctor Who,
Copy !req
2. called Mission to the Unknown.
Copy !req
3. I played Marc Cory, the hero,
Copy !req
4. who is trying to stop a Dalek
plan to conquer the universe.
Copy !req
5. Sadly, this episode doesn't exist
in the BBC's archive, but…
Copy !req
6. the star students and graduates of
the University of Central Lancashire,
Copy !req
7. have worked tirelessly to recreate
this episode and bring it back to life.
Copy !req
8. Well, I hope you enjoy it.
Copy !req
9. But…
Copy !req
10. Beware of the Vargas!
Copy !req
11. I…
Copy !req
12. I remember now.
Copy !req
13. Must…
Copy !req
14. I must kill…
Copy !req
15. …Must kill…
Copy !req
16. Must kill.
Copy !req
17. Why you ever wanted to land on a planet like
this in the first place I'll never know.
Copy !req
18. This is getting on my nerves.
Copy !req
19. I hate to think what kind of an
animal makes a noise like that.
Copy !req
20. Yeah,
Copy !req
21. they're getting closer.
Copy !req
22. Yes,
Copy !req
23. all the more reason to stop
talking and get on with the job.
Copy !req
24. Just you listen to me, Cory.
Copy !req
25. I know my orders were to
let you have full reign
Copy !req
26. and you've certainly
taken advantage of that.
Copy !req
27. But as Captain of this
expedition, my first
Copy !req
28. responsibility is to get
this ship off the ground.
Copy !req
29. So just cut the chat.
Copy !req
30. Some other time?
Copy !req
31. Bring that wrench.
Copy !req
32. How's it going?
Copy !req
33. Ah, it's slow.
Copy !req
34. Flare-back melted the retaining bolts
Copy !req
35. it's just solid lumps of Tarnium.
Copy !req
36. - Got some of it free.
- I want to have a look round.
Copy !req
37. If we don't shoot off soon we will
miss the rendezvous with the freighter.
Copy !req
38. If we're not in the pick-up orbit,
they won't wait.
Copy !req
39. You'll make it, Lowery. Here you are.
Copy !req
40. I'm doing the best I can.
Copy !req
41. I didn't want to touch down on this lousy
planet in the first place, remember?
Copy !req
42. Let's not start that again.
Just get on with the job would you?
Copy !req
43. Where the devil's Garvey?
Copy !req
44. He should be back by now.
Copy !req
45. He'll be here.
Copy !req
46. Pass that screwdriver, will you?
Copy !req
47. Kill!
Copy !req
48. Kill!
Copy !req
49. Managed to get some of it free.
Copy !req
50. Look at it - useless!
Copy !req
51. Get me a spare, will you?
Copy !req
52. It's no use, Cory.
Copy !req
53. You needn't bother with a spare.
Copy !req
54. I'm just not gonna be able to fix it.
Copy !req
55. Jeff!
Copy !req
56. Jeff!
Copy !req
57. You've killed him. You've killed Jeff!
Copy !req
58. It was him or you.
Copy !req
59. You didn't give him a chance.
Copy !req
60. You shot him down like an animal.
Copy !req
61. You just shot him down!
Copy !req
62. A Varga thorn.
Copy !req
63. - Varga?
- Careful! Don't prick yourself with it…
Copy !req
64. or you'll end up the way Garvey is.
Copy !req
65. I'd have to kill you.
Copy !req
66. What do you mean?
Copy !req
67. Let's get back into the ship.
Copy !req
68. What about his personal effects?
Copy !req
69. All right. But hurry up.
Copy !req
70. I didn't intend to tell you anything
Copy !req
71. but since we're stuck on this planet
and Garvey is dead
Copy !req
72. there are some facts that you're
entitled to know.
Copy !req
73. Yeah - Jeff Garvey's dead.
Copy !req
74. I mean, we flew together for the
last ten years
Copy !req
75. and now he's dead, and you killed him.
Copy !req
76. You'd better explain that fact
and make it good.
Copy !req
77. Sit down and take a look at this.
Copy !req
78. I might have known
Copy !req
79. "Space Security Service
- Licensed to kill".
Copy !req
80. - That's right.
- Well count me out.
Copy !req
81. This other document gives me the
authority to enlist the aid of any persons
Copy !req
82. civil or military. You were just enlisted.
Copy !req
83. From now on, Lowery,
you can take your orders from me.
Copy !req
84. All right, all right.
Copy !req
85. But I don't understand
Copy !req
86. better explain a few details.
Copy !req
87. All right.
Copy !req
88. I suppose you've heard of the Daleks?
Copy !req
89. The Daleks invaded Earth a
thousand years ago.
Copy !req
90. That's right.
Copy !req
91. Well, they haven't been active in our
galaxy for some time now
Copy !req
92. but that doesn't mean they've exactly
been sitting around.
Copy !req
93. In the last five hundred years
Copy !req
94. they've gained control of over seventy
planets in Ninth Galactic System
Copy !req
95. and forty more in the Constellation
of Miros.
Copy !req
96. Don't see why that should concern us.
Copy !req
97. I mean, they're both millions of
light years away from our galaxy.
Copy !req
98. That's what we all thought.
Copy !req
99. But about a week ago, we had a report
from the captain of a space freighter.
Copy !req
100. His navigator spotted a… a space ship
of a type never before used in our system.
Copy !req
101. He saw it only for a second but he gave
us a good description.
Copy !req
102. So?
Copy !req
103. What he described… was a Dalek spaceship.
Copy !req
104. Freighter XM2, freighter XM2
Copy !req
105. come in please, come in please!
Copy !req
106. - Sure you can make it work?
- It's got to work!
Copy !req
107. - It may have been damaged in the crash.
- We must keep on trying!
Copy !req
108. - Have you tested the link pulses?
- I know what I'm doing.
Copy !req
109. All right, all right, so the link
pulses work.
Copy !req
110. It may have been something else.
Copy !req
111. What about the Vergometer?
Copy !req
112. Have you tested that?
Copy !req
113. Without that you'd never break through
the atmosphere.
Copy !req
114. How can I possibly test that?
Copy !req
115. We've just got to take our chance that it
hasn't been damaged.
Copy !req
116. Freighter XM2.
Copy !req
117. Freighter XM2, come in please!
Copy !req
118. Come in please!
Copy !req
119. It's useless.
Copy !req
120. Are you sure we can't repair this ship?
Copy !req
121. Oh, not a chance.
Copy !req
122. So you think that the Daleks have established
some sort of a base here, is that right?
Copy !req
123. It could be. This is the most
hostile planet in the universe.
Copy !req
124. People from other civilisations avoid it.
Copy !req
125. I suddenly had a hunch…
Copy !req
126. that this might make an ideal place for
any secret preparations
Copy !req
127. that the Daleks wanted to make.
Copy !req
128. That's why we brought this ship down here.
Copy !req
129. And did you tell anybody else about this
hunch of yours?
Copy !req
130. No one - not even your commander.
Copy !req
131. I just asked for a few of men and
a small rocket.
Copy !req
132. I didn't even tell him what for.
Copy !req
133. Then why are you telling me?
Copy !req
134. Because of this
Copy !req
135. a thorn from a Varga plant.
Copy !req
136. A thing… part animal, part vegetable,
looks like a cactus.
Copy !req
137. The poison attacks the brain.
Copy !req
138. Rational thought is replaced by an
overwhelming desire to kill.
Copy !req
139. Eventually the poison seeps
through the system
Copy !req
140. and the victim is gradually transformed…
Copy !req
141. into a Varga.
Copy !req
142. Well, what's that gotta do with the Daleks?
Copy !req
143. The only place in the universe
Copy !req
144. where Vargas grow naturally is on
the Daleks' own planet
Copy !req
145. Skaro.
Copy !req
146. If the Vargas are here, the Daleks are too.
Copy !req
147. I will receive your reports.
Copy !req
148. First - space monitor control.
Copy !req
149. Space monitor control.
Copy !req
150. The emissaries from the seven planets
will arrive as arranged.
Copy !req
151. Then the conference
will begin at first sun.
Copy !req
152. Security report?
Copy !req
153. Security control.
Copy !req
154. Position of alien space craft located.
Copy !req
155. Our patrol will reach it shortly.
Copy !req
156. The ship and its
occupants must be totally destroyed.
Copy !req
157. Destroyed! Destroyed!
Copy !req
158. It will be done.
Copy !req
159. Anything out there?
Copy !req
160. Vargas - they're closing in.
Copy !req
161. Do you mean to say they can move?
Copy !req
162. Very slowly - look.
Copy !req
163. They use their roots to drag
themselves along.
Copy !req
164. How long are you gonna be with this…
this rescue beacon?
Copy !req
165. Well this is the recording part.
Copy !req
166. Let's hope it wasn't damaged in the crash.
Copy !req
167. We'll soon find out.
Can you fix this capsule up?
Copy !req
168. Well that's easy enough but this is the
recording mechanism for the message.
Copy !req
169. If we sent the rocket into space
without this
Copy !req
170. not only would we not be rescued
Copy !req
171. but if you put it up early
no one would even know we were here.
Copy !req
172. Hurry up and attach it then.
Copy !req
173. All right, all right!
I'm as keen to get out of here as you are.
Copy !req
174. Give me those pliers will you?
Copy !req
175. Nearly finished.
Copy !req
176. Good.
Copy !req
177. I don't know how long we've got.
Copy !req
178. Now the Daleks must know we're here.
They'll be coming for us soon.
Copy !req
179. Well I still think you're jumping to
conclusions, you know.
Copy !req
180. I mean, just because these…
Copy !req
181. Varga things grow here, it doesn't
mean that the Daleks are here too.
Copy !req
182. Take my word for it,
they're here all right.
Copy !req
183. Yes, but couldn't these Varga things
grow here naturally?
Copy !req
184. I mean… it's possible, isn't it?
Copy !req
185. No, they were developed in
Dalek laboratories.
Copy !req
186. They grow them to give
themselves protection.
Copy !req
187. Well if they're synthetic,
that means they…
Copy !req
188. Stop asking questions and
get on with the work!
Copy !req
189. Preceptor readings
indicated alien space craft.
Copy !req
190. We will close on it from two directions.
Copy !req
191. We obey.
Copy !req
192. Those things are getting too
close for comfort.
Copy !req
193. I'll fix 'em.
Copy !req
194. It's no good, Lowery.
Copy !req
195. They'll only grow again as fast as
you can shoot them.
Copy !req
196. At least I'll have had a try at 'em.
Copy !req
197. Just get back to the beacon.
Copy !req
198. You sure it'll work?
Copy !req
199. It should work it's standard safety
equipment on all rocket ships.
Copy !req
200. What does it do exactly?
Copy !req
201. Well, you record the message, SOS on
this, just like an ordinary tape recorder.
Copy !req
202. Then the rocket launcher
shoots it into orbit
Copy !req
203. once it's in orbit it transmits the message
Copy !req
204. simple.
Copy !req
205. From what we know about the Daleks,
we've got to be picked up.
Copy !req
206. Well it's tuned into a special frequency
Copy !req
207. and there are listening posts
all over the galaxy.
Copy !req
208. Our people should get the message.
Copy !req
209. And all we have to do is to stay alive.
Copy !req
210. That's the biggest rocket ship
I've ever seen.
Copy !req
211. It's like nothing we've got.
Copy !req
212. It's from an outer galaxy.
Copy !req
213. What's it doing in a
God-forsaken planet like this?
Copy !req
214. I don't know.
Copy !req
215. But I'll tell you this
Copy !req
216. there's something very big going on here,
Copy !req
217. and if the Daleks are involved, you can bet
your life our whole galaxy is in danger!
Copy !req
218. The ship from
the planet Gearon…
Copy !req
219. …and the beginning
of the Great Alliance.
Copy !req
220. That should just about do it.
Copy !req
221. Give me the capsule will you.
I'll record the message.
Copy !req
222. What is it?
Copy !req
223. There's something out there moving.
Copy !req
224. Vargas?
Copy !req
225. No.
Copy !req
226. Moving too quickly.
Copy !req
227. Come on, we've gotta… gotta get away.
Copy !req
228. What about the distress signal?
Copy !req
229. Take it with us, launch it as
soon as we can.
Copy !req
230. All right.
Copy !req
231. Which way?
Copy !req
232. Over here.
Copy !req
233. So watch out.
They won't be the only ones.
Copy !req
234. - Cory!
- Get down and don't make a sound!
Copy !req
235. The ship is empty.
The crew has gone.
Copy !req
236. We will search for them.
Copy !req
237. Destroy the ship. Fire!
Copy !req
238. It's just falling apart!
Copy !req
239. Come on!
Copy !req
240. Come on man! Come on!
They'll be looking for us now!
Copy !req
241. Report destruction
of alien ship to control.
Copy !req
242. I obey.
Copy !req
243. Advise that we will now
seek out the crew.
Copy !req
244. Alert all patrols.
Copy !req
245. We obey.
Copy !req
246. We obey.
Copy !req
247. With the arrival of our ally
Copy !req
248. Malpha, we are enough.
Copy !req
249. The meeting can now begin.
Copy !req
250. No it can't.
Copy !req
251. What is wrong?
Copy !req
252. There is a hostile presence among us.
Copy !req
253. What do you mean?
Copy !req
254. On arrival here
Copy !req
255. I am told that there are hostile influences
Copy !req
256. from the solar system among us.
Copy !req
257. Not among us.
Copy !req
258. Then here - on the planet Kembel.
Copy !req
259. Some beings have landed
from the planet Earth
Copy !req
260. hostile beings from the centre of
the solar system.
Copy !req
261. But do not worry, their spaceship has
been destroyed.
Copy !req
262. What about the beings?
Copy !req
263. They cannot escape.
Copy !req
264. At this moment they are being hunted down.
Copy !req
265. They will be destroyed.
Copy !req
266. Are you sure?
Copy !req
267. They cannot get away.
Copy !req
268. Suppose they send a message
through this universe?
Copy !req
269. They will not have time.
Copy !req
270. If they do not die by our Varga plants
Copy !req
271. my patrols will kill them!
Copy !req
272. They will be exterminated!
Exterminated!
Copy !req
273. This way.
Copy !req
274. Agreed.
Copy !req
275. Agreed.
Copy !req
276. All are agreed. It is done.
Copy !req
277. The seven great powers of the outer
galaxies are one.
Copy !req
278. Our galactic domination…
Copy !req
279. Victory!
Copy !req
280. We are the mightiest
of the universe!
Copy !req
281. This is indeed an historic moment in the
history of the universe!
Copy !req
282. We six from the outer galaxies
Copy !req
283. joining with the power
from the solar system
Copy !req
284. The Daleks!
Copy !req
285. The seven of us represent the greatest war
force ever assembled!
Copy !req
286. Conquest is assured!
Copy !req
287. Mars!
Copy !req
288. Venus!
Copy !req
289. Jupiter!
Copy !req
290. The moon colonies!
Copy !req
291. They will all fall before
our might.
Copy !req
292. But the first of them will be…
Copy !req
293. We've got to get this capsule off
and fast.
Copy !req
294. There's a citadell - a Dalek city.
Copy !req
295. I got quite close.
Copy !req
296. Close enough to hear an announcement
through the loudspeaker system.
Copy !req
297. And what you hear?
Copy !req
298. Our entire galaxy is to be invaded
and destroyed!
Copy !req
299. Kill…
What?
Copy !req
300. Kill…
Copy !req
301. Kill…
Copy !req
302. The Varga!
Copy !req
303. That's right.
Copy !req
304. I'll soon be one of them…
Copy !req
305. Kill…
Copy !req
306. Kill!
Copy !req
307. This is Marc Cory
Special Security Service
Copy !req
308. reporting from the planet Kembel.
Copy !req
309. The Daleks are planning the complete
destruction of our galaxy.
Copy !req
310. Together with the powers of
the outer galaxies
Copy !req
311. a war force is being assembled…
Copy !req
312. Seismic detector is registering.
Copy !req
313. The crew from the rocket
ship must be in this direction.
Copy !req
314. Are they to be taken
for questioning?
Copy !req
315. No.
They are to be exterminated.
Copy !req
316. Destroy them on sight.
Copy !req
317. Destroy and exterminate!
Copy !req
318. We obey.
Copy !req
319. If our galaxy is to be saved
Copy !req
320. whoever receives this message must relay
this information to Earth immediately.
Copy !req
321. It is vital that defence mechanisms
are put into operation at once!
Copy !req
322. Message ends
Copy !req
323. Fire.
Copy !req
324. He is dead.
Copy !req
325. Our plans for the
galactic conquest are safe.
Copy !req
326. Whatever information he
discovered has died with him.
Copy !req
327. Return to the city.
Copy !req
328. We obey.
Copy !req
329. Now all is ready.
Copy !req
330. We at this table
Copy !req
331. pledge our allegiance
Copy !req
332. to the Dalek cause.
Copy !req
333. Our armies will reduce
the galaxies to ashes
Copy !req
334. their people to dust
Copy !req
335. and Earth we will conquer first.
Copy !req
336. Victory!
Copy !req
337. Victory!
Copy !req
338. Victory! Victory! Victory!
Victory! Victory! Victory!
Copy !req
