Hostage

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.
