Lord High-Executioner (CIA) :
Ah. Welcome, Doctor.
Tom :
What's going on? Don't you realise how
dangerous it is to intercept a transmat beam?
Lord High-Executioner (CIA) :
Oh come, Doctor, not with our techniques.
We Time Lords transcended such simple
mechanical devices when The Universe
was less than half its present size.
Tom :
Look, whatever I've done
to you in The Past, I've more
than made up for, I will not tolerate
this continual interference in my life!
Lord High-Executioner (CIA) :
Continual? We pride ourselves
we seldom interfere in
The Affairs of others.
Tom :
Except mine!
Lord High-Executioner (CIA) :
You, Doctor, are a special case.
You enjoy The Freedom We allow you.
In return, occasionally,
not continually, We ask You
to Do Something for Us.
Tom :
I won't Do it.
Whatever it is,
I refuse.
Lord High-Executioner (CIA) :
DALEKS --
Tom :
Daleks? Tell me more….
Lord High-Executioner (CIA) :
We foresee A Time, when They will
have destroyed all other lifeforms
and become The Dominant
Creature in The Universe.
Tom :
That's possible. Tell on --
Lord High-Executioner (CIA) :
We'd like you - to return to Skaro
at A Point in Time before
The Daleks evolved.
Tom :
Do you mean avert
Their Creation?
Lord High-Executioner (CIA) :
Or affect their genetic development
so that They evolve into
less aggressive creatures.
Tom :
Hmm. That's feasible.
Lord High-Executioner (CIA) :
Alternatively, if you learn enough
about their very beginnings,
you might discover some
inherent weakness.
Tom :
Alright — just one more time.
Lord High-Executioner (CIA) :
You'll Do it?
Tom :
Yes. If you'll let me have
the space time coordinates,
I'll set The TARDIS for Skaro.
Lord High-Executioner (CIA) :
There's no need for that, Doctor.
Tom :
Huh?
Lord High-Executioner (CIA) :
You're here. This is Skaro.
Tom :
What?
Lord High-Executioner (CIA) :
We thought it would save time if
We assumed your agreement.
(The Time Lord holds up a gold bangle
with a three-ended swirl on it.)
Tom :
What's this?
Lord High-Executioner (CIA) :
A Time Ring. It will return you
to The TARDIS when
you've finished here.
There's just one thing.
Tom :
What's that?
Lord High-Executioner (CIA) :
Be careful not to lose it.
That Time Ring
is your lifeline.
Good Luck, Doctor.
Tom :
Just a moment —
(But he has already vanished.)
Tom :
Don't just disappear!
What about Sarah and Harry?
