BRET:
Look, he can't kill her or
he hasn't A Hostage.
(Steven turns the talkback back on and shouts)
STEVEN:
You animal!
KIRKSEN:
Now that's just
for starters.
Do as I say!
DOCTOR:
Change course!
KIRKSEN:
Now, that's more like it!
DOCTOR: (heard enough)
Take him back to Kembel.
Take him back to Kembel!
Let the Daleks deal with him.
STEVEN:
Yes, and us.
DOCTOR:
Don't worry, dear boy,
We'll find a way out.
(Katarina has been screaming almost all the time.)
KIRKSEN:
Stop that or
You're dead!
BRET:
I can't sacrifice everything
for the sake of that one girl.
STEVEN:
Listen! Without us you wouldn't
have got off Kembel at all,
and nothing would be
worth bothering about!
BRET:
All right, so we all go back together.
But without me, I doubt that you
would have got this far either.
STEVEN:
Yes, all right, but
I won't let you
Hurt Katarina.
We'll head back for Kembel
as the Doctor says.
On the way we may find a way
to get her out of there.
(Katarina pulls free of Kirksen,
clawing at his face with one hand
and reaching for The Door-controls
with the other.)
KIRKSEN:
You won't.
STEVEN:
No, not that one! KATARINA!
(The outer doors open, and Katarina and Kirksen
are sucked out to die in the vacuum of space.)
STEVEN:
KATARINA..!!!
— Too late.
(There's a stunned silence aboard the Spar
as the crew try to comprehend what has happened.)
STEVEN:
She pressed The Wrong Button, Doctor.
DOCTOR:
She may have wanted to, dear boy.
She wanted to Save Our Lives.
BRET:
It must have been quick.
DOCTOR:
I hope she's reached
her Place of Perfection.
STEVEN:
Yes, but not that way.
DOCTOR:
She didn't understand.
She couldn't understand.
She wanted to save
our lives and perhaps
the lives of all the other
beings of The Solar System.
I hope she's found Her Perfection.
Oh, how I shall always remember her
as one of The Daughters of The Gods.
Yes, as one of The Daughters of The Gods.
