In [[1966]] London, the [[Second Doctor]] and [[Jamie McCrimmon|Jamie]] watch helplessly as the [[the Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] is loaded onto a lorry and driven away from [[Gatwick Airport]]. The trail leads them to an antique shop run by Edward Waterfield, who sells [[Victorian era|Victorian]]-style antiques that curiously seem as though they were still new. Waterfield is being coerced by the [[Dalek]]s, who appear in a secret room of his shop through a time machine, and exterminate his mutinous employee Kennedy. Investigating the store, the Doctor and Jamie succumb to a [[booby trap]] that gasses them, and are dragged into the time machine by Waterfield. | In [[1966]] London, the [[Second Doctor]] and [[Jamie McCrimmon|Jamie]] watch helplessly as the [[the Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] is loaded onto a lorry and driven away from [[Gatwick Airport]].

[[Image:Evil of the Daleks.jpg|thumb|A [[Dalek]] interrogates [[Victoria Waterfield]].]] | |||
They wake up to find that they have been transported to [[1866]], and are in the house of Theodore Maxtible, Waterfield's partner. The two had been trying to invent a [[Time travel|time machine]] using mirrors and [[static electricity]], when the Daleks emerged from their time cabinet. The Daleks then took Waterfield's daughter Victoria hostage and forced Waterfield to travel a century forward in time to lure the Doctor into a trap by stealing the TARDIS. Waterfield is obviously fearful for his daughter's safety and his own, but Maxtible seems to be going along with the Daleks for his own reasons. | They wake up to find that they have been transported to [[1866]], and are in the house of Theodore Maxtible, Waterfield's partner.

Meanwhile, Waterfield has discovered that Maxtible has betrayed them all to the Daleks, hoping that he will be able to learn the [[alchemy|alchemical]] secret of transmuting base metals into [[gold]]. However, Maxtible, who has travelled to Skaro through the mirror cabinet, is discovering just how ruthless the Daleks are and how empty their promises can be; he is tortured for his failure to bring the Doctor to them. Jamie, Waterfield and the Doctor are locked out of the time cabinet, but manage to use the Daleks' own short-range time machine to make the journey to Skaro before a Dalek bomb destroys Maxtible's house. | Meanwhile, Waterfield has discovered that Maxtible has betrayed them all to the Daleks, hoping that he will be able to learn the [[alchemy|alchemical]] secret of transmuting base metals into [[gold]].

The trio find their way into the Dalek city and are brought before the imposing [[ | [[Image:Mo su01theevilofthedaleks.jpg|thumb|The imposing [[Dalek Emperor|Emperor Dalek]] in the Dalek city on [[Skaro]].]] | ||
The trio find their way into the Dalek city and are brought before the imposing [[Dalek Emperor|Emperor Dalek]], who reveals the true reason behind the experiments and the capture of the TARDIS. By isolating the human factor, the Doctor has succeeded in isolating the "Dalek Factor" as well. The Daleks will use the "Dalek Factor" — the qualities that make the Daleks mindless killing machines — to reconvert the "human" Daleks. In addition, the Emperor wants the Doctor to use the TARDIS to spread the Dalek Factor throughout human history, turning all humanity into Daleks. The Doctor knows that the Emperor realises that he would die before complying with this order, and so is concerned about why the Emperor seems so confident. | |||
Maxtible is tricked into walking through an archway that infuses him with the Dalek Factor, mentally turning him into a Dalek. He [[hypnosis|hypnotises]] the Doctor and lures him through the arch as well, apparently converting him. However, the Doctor is feigning his conversion, and secretly plants a device on the arch while the Daleks hunt for the three "human" Daleks. As one still remains to be found, the Doctor suggests that all the Daleks be put through the conversion arch so that the "human" Dalek will once again be infused with the Dalek Factor. | Maxtible is tricked into walking through an archway that infuses him with the Dalek Factor, mentally turning him into a Dalek.
