Fiction[[edit] | [edit source]]

Television[[edit] | [edit source]]

Genesis of the Daleks[[edit] | [edit source]]

Davros is first seen, in shadow, flanked by Gharman.
"Now we can begin…"
"I am anxious that you should see immediately the remarkable results that I have achieved…"
Davros, with Nyder, prepares to demonstrate his creations to the Kaled Scientific Elite.
Side view of Davros's head as he gyrates to face the Fourth Doctor.
Full-body side-view of Davros as the sceptical Doctor looks on.
"To know that the tiny pressure of my thumb, enough to break the glass, would end… everything."
The Fourth Doctor struggles with Davros.
Disturbed that it took action without him, Davros scolds the first Dalek.
Davros realises that the Daleks have turned on him.
Davros begs the first Dalek to "have pity".
Davros's hand seizes up as he is exterminated, unable to reach the button to switch off the automated production line.

Destiny of the Daleks[[edit] | [edit source]]

"So… the long darkness has ended…"
"…and the eternity of waiting… is over."
Davros spins around.
Davros is immediately intercepted by the Fourth Doctor.
Davros's head covered in cobwebs.
An indignant Davros is literally pushed around by the Doctor.
Side view.
Davros sulks in a corner as the Doctor, Romana II and Tyssan talk escape routes.
The Doctor and Davros find themselves alone.
"Doctor… do you believe your puny efforts can change the course of destiny?"
"Let's just say I might tamper with it."
Rousing from his stubborn silence, Davros begins monologuing about his grandiose plans for the Daleks.
The Doctor taunts Davros with the knowledge that the Daleks don't need him and left him for dead centuries ago without looking back — until today.
Davros sits in stony silence as the Doctor works on an explosive.
Davros explains to the Fourth Doctor how he survived the events of Genesis of the Daleks.
"I have slept, but now I have awakened… and the universe will be sorry."
As the Daleks break in, the Doctor uses Davros as a hostage.
"We'll meet again, Doctor. Never doubt it. We'll meet again."
"…Quickly! The explosive! He will detonate!"
"Come. There is much to be done."
An ecstatic Davros zooms through the ruined corridors, Daleks following silently behind him.
Inside the Daleks' ship, Davros demands immediate transportation out of Skaro.
"Every moment we remain on Skaro, we are vulnerable to attack!"
Davros is given the computer sphere, and scoffs at the mention of the Supreme Dalek.
Davros ponders his orb.
Davros realises the Daleks needed him because he is less logical than they are.
"You will reprogram our battle computers for us! The Movellans will be exterminated!"
Davros realises the Doctor could reprogram the Movellans' computer and thus negate the edge that Davros's presence gives to the Daleks.
"Then we need more than firepower! Unpack the explosives!"
Davros gives final instructions to the Dalek suicide-bombers he has outfitted.
"I will lead… Davros! Will! LEAD!"
The Doctor's incongruous appearance sends Davros's dreams of complete victory crashing down in an instant.
"I have one more thing to do before I leave."
Davros shows the Doctor the control he will use to detonate the Daleks.
"You see? There's nothing you can do to stop it now."
"Keep away! Keep! Back!"
Davros is put on ice.
"Bah! Humans do not understand logic!"
"Bye bye, Davros!"
Davros is overwhelmed by a white vapour as the cryogenic freezer activates.

Resurrection of the Daleks[[edit] | [edit source]]

The Dalek Troopers find Davros, still in suspended animation.
The cryogenic chamber's door slides open to reveal Davros.
"He's very still… Is he dead?"
Davros twitches.
Davros takes in a big gasp of air.
Davros meets Commander Lytton.
"You speak as though my Daleks are no longer capable of war!"
"…Dalek… casualties…?!…"
Davros sputters and whimpers wildly upon hearing that the Daleks lost the Dalek-Movellan War.
Davros argues with Lytton.
Davros discusses the Movellan War with Lytton as an engineer tends to his life-support system.
Davros shrieks about taking "his rightful place as the Daleks' Supreme Being" and leading them to triumph.
"I. Am. Davros."
Davros opens a secret compartment in his chair's control panel.
"Ninety years, I was frozen in that. Ninety years of mind-numbing boredom!"
"The creatures of Earth have no stomach for judicial murder. They prefer to leave you to rot and die… They call it being humane."
Davros is reunited with the Daleks.
"It is vital you complete your research as soon as possible."
Davros makes his demands.
"Welcome!"
Davros is pleased.
Davros commands his two newly-minted Dalek loyalists to "find out the cause of the delay".
Wide shot as Davros learns that the Doctor is within his grasp.
"I shall build a new race of Daleks! They shall be even more deadly!"
"The Doctor and his TARDIS… Perfect!"
Davros meets the Fifth Doctor.
"I had planned to completely redesign the Daleks…"
The Doctor holds Davros at gunpoint.
Davros hands capsules containing samples of the Movellan virus to a Dalek Trooper.
"Now, for the Daleks!"
"The Daleks are dead… long live the new Daleks!"
Despite his indignant protests that he is not a Dalek and "cannot die", Davros also falls prey to the Movellan virus.

Revelation of the Daleks[[edit] | [edit source]]

Davros, seemingly reduced to a head in a jar, spots the Sixth Doctor on a screen.
"It is the Doctor!"
"Excellent…"
"There are bodysnatchers in the catacombs!"
"Have that woman brought to me.
Davros talks business with Kara over a video conference call.
Davros chuckles.
Davros compliments Tasambeker.
"Please me, and I can offer you the universe!"
"You have pleased me."
Davros stokes Tasambeker's resentment towards Jobel.
"You fools! You cannot kill me! I! Am! Davros!"
Davros continues shooting lightning at Orcini from his bionic eye.
Orcini shoots at Davros at point-blank range.
Davros's head deflates, revealing itself to have been a remotely-operated proxy.
Davros reveals his real body's presence to Orcini.
The real Davros orders Orcini and Bostock to put down their weapons.
Davros dodges a dagger thrown by Bostock.
Now hovering, Davros electrocutes Orcini.
Davros shows Kara her own deadly transmitter.
Davros confronts Kara.
"It is a transmitter — brought by your assassin!"
"I have never trusted you, Kara."
"There is little that is ‘common’ about Orcini."
Davros watches Kara die, stabbed by Orcini.
Davros meets the Sixth Doctor.
"Where is Peri?"
"Safe… for the time being."
The Doctor and Davros catch up.
"I am known as the Great Healer! A somewhat flippant title, perhaps… but not without foundation."
"In every way, I have complied with the wishes of those who came here in anticipation of one day being returned… to life."
Davros takes a malicious joy in letting the Doctor know he has been turning the excess bodies into food and selling that food back to the rest of the Galaxy.
Bostock shoots Davros's hand.
Davros's stump is tended to.
"What? Is? Happening?!… Activate my Daleks!"
Davros zaps Orcini again, this time with his real ocular system.
Davros is taken into custody by one of the real, Skarosian Daleks.
"I created you! I am your master!"

Remembrance of the Daleks[[edit] | [edit source]]

"Emperor on the bridge!"
The "Emperor Dalek" among his subjects.
"Prepare the assault shuttle!"
"We must recover the Hand of Omega without delay!"
The Emperor listens to the reports of his underlings on the Renegade Daleks' position.
The Emperor returns the Seventh Doctor's video call to the Imperial Dalek mothership.
"Ah! Doctor! You have changed again!"
"Your appearance is as inconstant as your intelligence."
"You have confounded me for the last time!"
The Emperor is revealed to really be Davros.
The Seventh Doctor recognises Davros.
"Does it worry, Doctor, that with it, I will transform Skaro's sun into a source of unimaginable power?!"
"The Daleks! Shall! Become! Lords! Of Time!"
"I will teach you the folly of your words, Doctor!"
Davros watches as the Hand of Omega is activated.
Davros realises he screwed up.
"You have tricked me!"
"Do not do this! I beg of you!"
Davros closes his casing again, making to escape.
"Emperor abandoning bridge!"
"Emperor activating escape pod!"

The Stolen Earth[[edit] | [edit source]]

Davros emerges from the shadows.
First shot of Davros's mechanical hand.
"And yet Dalek Caan is uneasy."
"Show respect. Without Dalek Caan, none of this would he possible — and he speaks only the truth."
"I warned you, Supreme One. Just as Dalek Caan foretold, the Children of Time are moving against us."
Davros requests access to the subwave network.
"Your voice is different, and yet… its arrogance is unchanged."
Davros is revealed in full light.
"Welcome to my new Empire, Doctor."
Davros on the TARDIS scanner.
Davros and his Daleks.
Close-up of Davros.
Davros explains how he was saved from the War by Dalek Caan.
"A single, simple Dalek succeeded where Emperors and Time Lords have failed."
Davros unclasps his leather jacket.
"I gave myself to them… quite literally…"
"…each one…"
"…grown from a cell of my own body."
"I have my children, Doctor. What do you have, now?"

Journey's End[[edit] | [edit source]]

"This would always have happened."

The Daleks & Davros[[edit] | [edit source]]

Davros emerges from the time corridor.
"All hail Davros!"
"Welcome to my Dalek Empire."
"This Royal Albert Hall will become…"
"…my new palace…"
"…and you humans shall become my obedient slaves."
Davros swivels to face the conductor.
"Let the music of destruction commence."
Davros listens.
Another angle on Davros listening.
View of Davros from below.
Davros watches the records of past Dalek battles.
Close-up of Davros.

The Magician's Apprentice[[edit] | [edit source]]

A child is spotted running through the mist on a battlefield.
The child turns back to look at Kanzo.
The child nods when asked if he "got lost".
The child freezes up in fear upon realising that there are Handmines about.
The child watches anxiously as Kanzo realises that a Handmine has grabbed onto his own ankle.
The child notices that he is standing in a field of Handmines.
"Help me!"
The child hears the Twelfth Doctor's voice.
The Doctor: "I’m straight ahead of you…"
"A choice?"
"Tell me the name of the boy who isn't going to die today!"
"…Davros. My name… is Davros."
Seemingly asleep, Davros repears the Doctor's name.
Insisting that he is a wake and merely "anticipating", he holds the Doctor's sonic screwdriver to his face.
Davros greets the Doctor.
The Doctor stands before Davros.
"Did you suspect a trap? (…) Then why are you here? Did you miss our… conversations?"
"I get the point."
"[Our argument] survived the Time War. But it will end… tonight."
"Where does an old man go to die… but with his children?"
"Clara!"
"You cannot help her now, Doctor."
"You know what children are like…"
Davros admits that he is not in control of the Daleks.
"Predator and prey, held in the ecstasy of crisis. Is this not life at its purest?"
"Let this be my final victory. Let me hear you say it, just once… Compassion. Is. Wrong."
"I don't get it. How did you get there?"
"…Are you gonna save me?"
The Doctor and Davros walk off into the mist, hand in hand.

The Witch's Familiar[[edit] | [edit source]]

"You would threaten a dying man?"
A Dalek sees what has become of Davros.
Davros calls for Colony Sarff.
Davros appears to the Twelfth Doctor on a screen in Dalek High Command.
"Sorry, this seat's taken!"
"Indeed — but not by you."
"Be certain, Colony Sarff… Tonight, we entrap a Time Lord."
Davros spins into view of the Doctor.
"It wasn't easy to procure… and very nearly unique, of course. You should feel privileged. The only other chair on Skaro."
Davros warns the Doctor of the futility of trying to escape.
Davros reiterates that he is dying while continuing not to die yet, to the Doctor's rising irritation.
"Look again at the cables, Doctor. Understand what they are. What they can do."
The Doctor taunts Davros once again with the Daleks' apparent disrespect for him —
— and for his apparent inability to "invent legs".
Davros looks wearily up at the Doctor.
"Respect… mercy, for their father. Design flaws I was… unable to eliminate."
Davros guides the Doctor's hand in his own.
"Why do you hesitate? No one would know. Clara Oswald is dead!"
"Compassion, then."
Davros asks the Doctor why he ran away from Gallifrey.
Davros asks the Doctor about the contents of his confession dial.
Extreme close-up as Davros asks once again why the Doctor left Gallifrey.
"How long has it been, you and I?"
"Long enough. Galaxies have burned."
"Come closer again… Let me see your face."
Davros's artificial eye goes offline as he states he wishes to see the Doctor's face "with his own eyes" once again.
Davros opens his original eyes, with obvious difficulty.
"Take the darkest path — into the deepest hell — but… protect your own… as I have sought to protect mine…"
"Did I do right, Doctor? Tell me! Was I right?…"
"…I need… to know… before the end. Am I good man?"
The Doctor and Davros laugh together.
Davros's breath becomes ragged.
"Pity… I had hoped to the see sun one last time…"
Davros looks out at the Skarosian landscape, deeming it beautiful.
Davros explains how Skaro was restored while the Doctor works.
"I have always admired you, Doctor. I wish… just once… we had been on the same side."
"I… regret… I… cannot… open my eyes!…"
"…Okay. …Don't ever tell anyone that I did this."
The Doctor offers Davros a "little bit" of regeneration energy.
(Seemingly) unnoticed by the Doctor until it's too late, Davros begins to laugh.
The regeneration energy flows into Davros.
"Regeneration energy! The ancient magic of the Time Lords."
"I thought I would have to tear you apart to take it from you…"
"…but, as always… your compassion is your downfall."
Davros brings up the prophecy of the Hybrid.
Davros watches Missy and the Doctor.
"Oh, you are not ‘fine’."
Davros unsuccessfully tries to convince the Doctor, who has retrieved his confession dial, to be worried about the situation.
Davros frowns uncomprehendingly as the Twelfth Doctor explains to him why his glorious plan is about to cause the destruction of the Dalek City.
"No… this cannot be correct!… How can this be!?"
"Doctor! Y-you must help me!"
Missy pokes Davros in the eye.
Davros winces angrily at having been thusly poked.
"Which side are you on? Are you the enemy?"
The young Davros looks up curiously as the Doctor extols the importances of mercy.
The young Davros cautiously takes the Doctor's hand.

Davros turns to address Castavillian.
Davros: "Then allow me to show the future."

Davros: "We can become stronger than ever!"
