[[file:dalekinvasion_601.jpg|150px|thumb|right|[[Barbara Wright|Barbara]] is interrogated by the [[Black Dalek]]]]Ian disconnects some wires inside the casing, stopping its descent. The Robomen start pulling it back up the shaft, while Ian manages to open a panel at the bottom of the casing and climb out. A Dalek spots him, however, and severs the rope, causing Ian to slide down the shaft and fall against a door, which knocks him senseless. At that point, Barbara and Jenny are escorted into the Dalek control room. The Black Dalek orders that all humans be moved to the lower galleries to be exterminated in the final blast. The Daleks relay the orders to the Robomen through a microphone, which Barbara notices. The Black Dalek interrogates Barbara and she tries to stall by telling them of an elaborate mutiny that involves [[North American Indians|Red Indians]], the [[Boston Tea Party]], [[Robert E. Lee]] and [[Hannibal]], panicking the Daleks momentarily but not enough — she is recaptured when she tries to use the microphone. She and Jenny are immobilized in clamps to await destruction when the bomb explodes. | [[file:dalekinvasion_601.jpg|150px|thumb|right|[[Barbara Wright|Barbara]] is interrogated by the [[Supreme Dalek|Black Dalek]].]]Ian disconnects some wires inside the casing, stopping its descent.

[[file:dalekinvasion_603.jpg|150px|thumb|left|The [[First Doctor|Doctor]] defies the Daleks]]Outside, the Doctor tells Susan and David to destroy an aerial on the far side of the mine with Dortmun's bombs. He and Tyler will go into the mine itself. Ian regains consciousness outside the lower gallery where the Robomen are hauling timber. When they leave, he puts some of these spars into the bomb shaft, where it stops the progress of the bomb before it can reach the crust. The Daleks are unaware of this, however, and evacuate. The Doctor neutralises the warning system and he and Tyler make their way into the control room, where they free Jenny and Barbara. He explains that David and Susan's mission will immobilize the Daleks. As the Daleks detect the Doctor's presence in the control room, a patrol approaches, but David and Susan succeed and the Daleks stop in their tracks. Barbara and the Doctor use the microphone to tell the Robomen to turn against the Daleks. Human workers and Robomen break into open revolt and stream out of the mine. | [[file:dalekinvasion_603.jpg|150px|thumb|left|The [[First Doctor|Doctor]] defies the Daleks]]Outside, the Doctor tells Susan and David to destroy an aerial on the far side of the mine with Dortmun's bombs.
