How would express a black bitch up to two guts?
He's breathing.
The tardis seems to be normal.
What are we going to do?
We can't just leave the doctor there.
Him?
The doctor?
That's who came through the door, there was no one else outside.
Ben, do you remember what he said in the tracking room?
Something about this old body of mine is wearing a bit thin.
So he gets himself a new one?
Well, yes.
Do me a favour?
Ben, whatever happened, happened in here.
But it's impossible!
So long ago we'd have been saying that about a lot of things.
Slower!
Concentrate on one thing.
One thing!
It's over.
Doctor?
The muscles are still a bit tight.
What are we going to do?
It is what, Doctor, I know it is.
I think.
It's not only his face that's changed.
He doesn't even act like him.
Come on, it's Tommy's toy, this Al.
Now look Al!
You know that, don't you?
Have you done with this?
Put it down, put it down.
Now what's the game?
The crusades, Saladin.
The Doctor was a great collector, wasn't he?
But you're the Doctor!
Oh, I don't look like him.
Oh, well, wait!
Don't you know?
Extermination.
Very good.
Nails need growing.
Now look, the Doctor always wore this.
So if you're him, it should fit now, shouldn't it?
There, that settles it.
I like to see a butterfly fit into a chrysalis case after it's spread its wings.
Then you did change.
Life depends on change and renewal.
Oh, so that's it.
You've been renewed, have you?
I've been renewed, have I?
That's it.
I've been renewed.
It's part of the TARDIS.
Without it, I couldn't survive.
Come here!
Come here.
The Doctor kept a diary, didn't he?
Yes.
I thought so.
I wonder where.
It's a very different Doctor, Ben.
Yeah, maybe.
Just where do we stand, though?
Doctor?
What's going to happen to us?
I think...
I think we must have landed for some time.
I think it's time we went for a stroll.
But you don't know where we've landed!
No, and you haven't checked the oxygen or the temperature or anything!
Oxygen density 172, radiation bill, temperature 86.
Strong suggestion of mercury deposits.
Satisfied, Ben?
Now, are you two coming or are you not?
He does know, as he said.
Ben, didn't you hear him?
Yeah, I heard.
But he might just have been copying you, though, mightn't he?
Are you coming, you two?
I'm coming.
Time I put you all through some tests, I think.
Hello!
Is there anyone there?
Hello!
Why don't they come?
So you've come at last.
I'm from Earth. I'm the Examiner.
I'm the Examiner.
Earth Examiner, accord every access.
Vulcan.
Doctor, where are you?
Phew, and it's hot.
Do you think there's like this everywhere?
No, it might be just around here.
I don't want too many lung pools if I know that.
Yeah, when I was a kid, we used to live off of some brewery.
You could take a walk and get tipsy all in one go.
It's beautiful.
Don't touch it, Polly.
I wasn't going to.
It's quicksilver. It gets through the pores.
Where is that doctor or whatever he is?
God, sir.
What's the matter?
Hey, Polly!
Hey, Doctor, wherever you are, quick, there's something happened to Polly!
Quick, over this way!
Doctor!
Ah, there you are.
What have you got there?
It might be that we found two more of them by one of the pools.
This one's got a nasty bruise on the back of his head.
All over his feet and knocked himself out, I suppose.
I suppose so.
Why don't they use the kit we sent them?
Yes.
The other two have had a rather bad dose of fumes.
The girl has anyway.
Girl?
Yes.
But she'll recover.
These comic opera guards of yours do have some uses after all.
I picked them for their physical fitness.
I thought it wasn't for their IQ.
Give me a hand with the examiner, will you?
I wonder why Earth has chosen to send an examiner to Balkan.
Just now, I mean.
I don't know.
It's a mystery, isn't it?
He isn't due for another two years.
How do you feel?
We saw your rocket overshoot the landing area.
I...
Don't worry.
Most of the ships from Earth do overshoot.
I'm Quinn, Deputy Governor.
Reagan, Head of Security.
Let's get them all back, shall we?
I'll take the girl.
Here you two.
Help carry the examiner.
I suppose you Earth people can't wait to examine Lesterson's space capsule.
Hi.
Look at this.
They just brought in an examiner from Earth in a couple of a days.
An examiner?
What's he here for?
I thought you'd know.
It's the capsule.
It must be.
They can't stop me working on it.
I'll show you that.
Could anyone?
The Governor's always been difficult about it.
Surely they wouldn't send somebody all the way from Earth just...
Look, what about the meeting?
Meeting?
Yes, I've arranged everything.
Can we still use the old rocket room?
Yes, I suppose so.
But I do wish you wouldn't get mixed up with these pressure groups, Jan.
Well, somebody has to do something.
The colony's running down and you know it.
I'm too busy.
Well, if we ran things you'd have better facilities and more money.
I wish you'd take an interest.
Now, look, I don't mind letting you have the use of one of my rooms now and again, Jan Lee, but don't try to involve me.
This is what I find important.
Two hundred years in a mercury swamp and this piece of metal had dropped from it.
Look, a couple of minutes polishing and it's as good as new.
One rain, damp, heats, mercury.
Nothing touches this metal.
No corrosion, Jan Lee. Think of that.
Well, I hope the examiner lets you go on with your experiments.
Frankly, I doubt it.
I think the governor's brought the examiner here to stop you opening the capsule.
You should join our group, Lester.
You might need us one day.
So the murdered man was the real examiner.
Well, didn't you say you did it?
The doctor got this button, though.
No, I think he's pretty dull around here.
I don't know why we don't just go back to the TARDIS.
Doctor, are you going to let them think you're the real examiner?
Well, won't that be dangerous?
Look, why don't you stop blowing that thing and talk to us properly?
Ben!
No, don't you start. It's bad enough we did.
Well, he hasn't done anything.
No, that's just the trouble.
He knows what happened back at the TARDIS, yet will he tell us?
Will he come out and say? Will he admit to being the doctor?
Come in!
I am Hensel, the governor.
I trust you're all feeling much better.
I felt worse, governor.
Governor?
If Earth had seemed fit to warn us you were coming,
we might possibly have been able to guide you down to the landing area.
If Earth didn't warn you we were coming, governor,
they must have had a very good reason.
I wonder what it was.
Now look here, I run this colony.
I'm entitled to know why you've come to Vulcan.
What is your brief?
I am the examiner.
Why are you here?
To examine.
And I intend to start my examination at once.
Someone's leaked reports about these rebel groups.
That's it, isn't it?
Your turn now, governor.
There is Lesterson's capsule.
Internal affairs are my business, Brayden.
Please don't interfere.
Please go on.
The capsule.
It was found in a mercury swamp.
It must have been here for centuries.
Interesting. Continue.
For centuries before the Earth colony arrived,
I felt it might be dangerous.
It might contain bacteria.
I shall examine the capsule later.
You may leave us.
I shall look forward to your report.
Brayden, see that the examiner and his party
get some proper clothes, will you?
We are wearing proper clothes.
How did he get that thing back again?
That was a bit of a cheat, wasn't it?
Seeing if the governor was the guy you got the button off.
Doctor, when he was talking to you,
you were staring at the other man.
Yes.
Very rude of me, wasn't he?
Terrible manners.
To tell you the truth, I was studying his reactions.
Seeing if he agreed with the story.
Did he?
Just have a look at that capsule.
You know, you want to watch you don't take this examiner stuff a bit too far.
Answers must come from that mercury swamp.
Because at least one bloke ain't going to be fooled.
When Brayden found us, he definitely said space capsule.
Look, you're not going to fool the guy that did the real examiner in.
Brayden.
What's all this nonsense about having to have a pass to see the examiner?
It's the governor's idea.
Surely it doesn't apply to me.
It's not my order, Quinn.
I expect the governor wants to keep people away from him.
It sounded like one of your red tape ideas.
It has nothing to do with me.
Right.
Oh, God.
Sorry, Janet.
My fault.
You all right?
Yes.
Lester just cleared me out of his lab.
Is the examiner going to let him open the capsule?
I don't know.
I'm on my way there now.
If I can push past Brayden's army of layabouts.
Where did you get this?
It dropped from the capsule.
Dropped?
Yes, when it was being hauled into the laboratory.
But you can see, this metal could revolutionize space travel.
That's why I'm insisting that we open it.
Well, who knows what other marvels there may be inside.
But Lesterson, I didn't think you could open it.
Well, I have a theory.
I'm convinced that the opening mechanism on the other side is either here or here.
Now, my theory is that I can insert a laser ray in this bridge here.
The ray spreads, infuses the opening device and gets us in.
Examiner, I shall have to make it your responsibility.
A laser, why not?
It shouldn't be too difficult.
Well, we'll try the other side.
It's a bit disappointing.
But, eh, this is just an entryway, isn't it?
Yes, I suppose so.
This doesn't get us very far, does it?
Getting into the rest of the capsule will take time, Governor.
Well, can't you use that torsion again? That must be enough.
I shall have to measure it up and find out where the lock mechanism is.
I think we'll leave it for tonight.
Leave it for tonight? What are we coming here for?
That is my decision, Governor.
Good heavens above, man!
A hundred years, you say? This has been buried?
Or at least, there must be something in the inner compartment.
We shall be able to find out where it came from originally.
It didn't come from this planet, Falcon.
No, no, no, no, the metal is quite alien.
Alien?
Yes, very alien.
Good night.
We'll see Atsu now.
Then we're not going to let him out of our sight.
Well, Lesterson, you got your way?
Was it worth sending for this examiner, this idiotic examiner?
I didn't send for him, I thought you did.
Why don't you let me talk to the examiner, Hansel? I can find out what he's here for.
No, no, no, you keep away from him.
We're leaving to work with Lesterson here.
We've all got enough to do without having to worry about some amateur critic from Earth interfering.
But, for five minutes...
You heard what I said, Quinn.
You were fine keeping the examiner busy, Lesterson?
I don't mind what you do with him, so long as you keep his nose out of our business.
Yes, all right.
All right, well, we shall talk about it tomorrow.
Ben!
What?
She's in the corridor.
Who is?
That doctor you brought. Come on, quick.
She's going towards Lesterson's lab.
Of course, to her space capsule.
Come on.
Come in and meet the Daleks.
You could have opened it before.
These two pieces of metal are identical.
The doctor got one of them from the Daleks himself.
Why did you kick-sign the doctor? Do you mean you?
I knew I should find them here.
I knew it.
Well, they look harmless, not very lively.
What do you think?
Two hundred years in a swamp and you wouldn't look very lively either.
Nothing could live through that, could it?
Live?
Nothing you would know.
Doctor, look!
What's the matter?
Why, there are three Daleks in here.
What's happened to the other one?
Doctor!
The End
