Robots

The Great Intelligence :

The Doctor lives his life in 

darker hues, day upon day, 

and he will have other names 

before The End. 

The Storm, The Beast, 

The Valeyard.

Even if any of this were true, 

which I take the liberty of doubting, 

how did you come by this information?

I AM Information.

DOCTOR: 

I don't like it. 

There's something happening 

on this mountain. 

I can feel it. 

JAMIE: 

Here, you're giving me the willies. Come on. 

(Meanwhile, two Yeti are approaching the cave. The one carrying the control sphere stands outside while the other goes back down the mountain. Travers is still watching, and sees Songsten and his escort approach the cave. Songsten takes the sphere from the Yeti, which leaves. Then he goes into the cave alone, leaving three Yeti standing guard.) 

JAMIE: 

Look, Doctor. 

(The TARDIS is guarded by a Yeti. 

The Doctor and Jamie take cover behind a rock.)

DOCTOR: 

I thought we'd been too lucky. 

JAMIE: 

What now? 

DOCTOR: 

I don't know. We've got to get 

to The TARDIS somehow. 

JAMIE: 

Aye, well you can't frighten 

one of those things away. 

DOCTOR: 

No. 

JAMIE: 

I wonder what he's waiting for? 

DOCTOR: 

Hmm? 

JAMIE: 

Well, he couldn't have known 

we were coming. 

DOCTOR: 

It's a robot, Jamie. 

It merely follows instructions.

JAMIE: 

Who's giving them? 

DOCTOR: 

That we shall have to 

find out, won't we?

JAMIE:

Get down, Doctor!

[Inner Sanctum]

PADMASAMBHAVA: 

Oh, Great Intelligence, 

have I served you well? 

After so many years, can I feel the grip 

of Your Power loosen? 

How long before your 

Great Experiment begins 

and I can rest? So soon? 

I am not sorry. 

What of the others? 

It will be done. 

Songsten is making 

final preparations.

[Cave]

(The rockfall has been cleared, 

and the spheres are now arranged in a circle. 

Songsten places the transparent pyramid 

in the middle and leaves. 

The pyramid pulsates with light. 

Outside, Travers watches Songsten 

and his escort leave. When they are out of sight, 

Travers goes into the cave.)

[Outside the Tardis]

DOCTOR: 

Yes. 

JAMIE: 

Have you thought up some 

clever plan, Doctor? 

DOCTOR: 

Yes, Jamie, I believe I have. 

JAMIE: 

What are you going to do? 

DOCTOR: 

Bung a rock at it. 

JAMIE: 

Oh, be serious, Doctor. 

DOCTOR: 

Jamie, I am. 

(The Doctor throws a rock at The TARDIS.) 

JAMIE: 

Hey, no, Doctor. 

(The Yeti does not move.) 

DOCTOR: 

There you are, you see? 

Just as I thought. 

It can't see and 

it can't feel. Come on.

JAMIE: 

Don't be daft, Doctor. 

DOCTOR: 

Well. it's quite all right, Jamie. 

It's like those three back there. 

It's either switched off or 

not receiving. Come along. 

JAMIE: 

Are you sure it's quite safe? 

DOCTOR: 

Well, quite frankly, no, Jamie.

But there's only one way 

of finding out.

(The Doctor goes up to the Yeti and touches it, 

then listens to its chest.) 

JAMIE: 

Don't, Doctor. You might 

switch it on. 

DOCTOR: 

No, I don't think so, Jamie. Yes, 

just as I thought. Now then. 

(The Doctor uses a screwdriver on the Yeti.) 

DOCTOR: 

Jamie, will you hold this flap open 

for me, please? Thank you. 

JAMIE: 

Hey you're taking an awful risk, Doctor. 

(The Doctor removes the control sphere.) 

DOCTOR: 

Well, I'm glad that's over. Catch. 

JAMIE: 

Hey, I just thought of something, Doctor. 

The Man that made these robots 

is very clever, right? 

DOCTOR: 

Yes. 

JAMIE: 

And yet we were able to walk right up to it 

and put it out of action just like that.

 DOCTOR: 

You mean, why didn't they build in 

some sort of protective device? 

JAMIE: Aye. 

DOCTOR: 

Well, perhaps they didn't think 

it was necessary. 

I mean, look at him. 

Would you walk up to a creature like that 

with just a screwdriver in your hand? 

JAMIE: 

No, I would not. 

DOCTOR: 

No, there you are. I'm really rather 

pleased with myself. 

(The Doctor goes into The TARDIS.)
