''The Tomb of the Cybermen'' is the first serial of fifth season in the British science fiction television series ''Doctor Who''. It is the earliest serial starring Patrick Troughton as the Second Doctor known to exist in its entirety and it was the only serial of the fifth season known to survive for many years, from its recovery in 1991 until more missing episodes were found in 2013. It originally aired in four weekly parts from 2 September to 23 September 1967. It also introduces the Cyber Controller and the Cybermats. ==Plot== On the planet Telos, an archeological expedition uncovers a hidden entrance in a mountain. The TARDIS lands nearby, and the expedition is joined by the Doctor, Jamie and Victoria. Parry, the expedition's leader, explains that they are here to find the remains of the Cybermen, who apparently died out five centuries before. The expedition is funded by Kaftan, who is accompanied by her giant manservant Toberman and her colleague Klieg. One of the men is electrocuted opening the doors, but the party manages to enter the chamber. They find a control panel and a large, sealed hatch. Parry and Klieg try to open it as Toberman slips out. The remaining members of the expedition begin to explore. Victoria and Kaftan come across a chamber with a sarcophagus-like wall inset facing a projection device that was apparently used to revitalise the Cybermen. She curiously climbs inside, and Kaftan secretly seals her in the sarcophagus and tries to activate the projector pointing at the sarcophagus but the Doctor frees her, suspecting Kaftan's to blame. Meanwhile, Haydon and Jamie have been experimenting with a control panel in another room; a Cyberman slides into view and a gun fires, killing Haydon. However, the Doctor figures out that it is not a real Cyberman, but a testing range for weapons. Outside, Toberman reports to Kaftan that "It is done". Captain Hopper, the expedition's pilot, returns and angrily reveals that someone has sabotaged the rocket ship – they cannot leave until repairs are made. They finally open the hatch, and the men descend, leaving Kaftan and Victoria behind. They find a vast chamber beneath, with a multistorey structure containing cells of frozen Cybermen. Back in the control room, Kaftan drugs Victoria and reseals the hatch. Inside it, Klieg activates more controls in the tomb and the ice begins to melt. When Viner tries to stop him, Klieg shoots him dead and holds the rest at bay as the Cybermen return to life. Klieg reveals that he and Kaftan belong to the Brotherhood of Logicians, who possess great intelligence but no physical power. He believes the Cybermen will be grateful for their revival and will ally themselves with him. Victoria awakes and confronts Kaftan, who threatens to shoot her if she tries opening the hatch. A small mechanical cybermat revives and attacks Kaftan, rendering her unconscious. Victoria grabs Kaftan's pistol and shoots the cybermat. Not knowing which lever opens the hatch, she leaves to find Hopper. Down in the tombs, the Cybermen free their leader, the Cyber Controller, from his cell. When Klieg steps forward to take the credit for reviving them, the Cyber Controller grabs and crushes his hand, declaring, "You belong to us; You shall be like us." The Doctor realises that the tombs were an elaborate trap: the Cybermen were waiting for beings intelligent enough to decipher the controls to free them. The expedition will be converted into Cybermen in preparation for a new invasion of Earth. In the control room, Capt. Hopper and Callum have figured out how to open the hatch. Hopper descends into the tombs, and uses smoke grenades to distract the Cybermen while the humans make their escape – all but Toberman, who has his arms cybernetically converted. Klieg and Kaftan are moved into the testing range to keep them out of mischief while the others decide on their next course of action. Klieg extricates the weapon from the wall, an X-ray laser he calls a cybergun, to coerce the Cybermen to do their bidding. The Cybermen release a group of Cybermats into the main chamber and they attack the Doctor, Jamie, Victoria and the expedition members, but the Doctor saves them. Klieg and Kaftan step out, and Klieg fires the laser in the direction of the Doctor. He misses, wounding Callum. He opens the hatch, and calls for the Cyber Controller. The latter climbs up, accompanied by Toberman, who has been partially cyber-converted and is under the Cyber Controller's control. The Controller moves slowly, as his energy is running low – most of the Cybermen have been ordered back to their tombs to conserve power. Klieg says he will allow the Cyber Controller to be revitalised if the Cybermen help him conquer the Earth. It agrees. The Doctor helps the Controller into the sarcophagus in an attempt to trap it there, but the revitalised Controller is too strong and breaks free. Toberman knocks Klieg unconscious. The Controller picks up Klieg's cybergun. Kaftan shoots it, but the normal gun has no effect and she is shot by the Controller. The death of Kaftan and the urging of the Doctor shake Toberman out of his controlled state. He struggles with the Controller and hurls it into the control panel, apparently killing it. The Doctor, wanting to make sure the Cybermen are no longer a threat, goes back down into the tombs with Toberman. Klieg regains consciousness and sneaks down with the cybergun and revives the Cybermen once again. Klieg expects to control them now that the Controller is dead, but a revived Cyberman throttles Klieg from behind and kills him. Toberman fights and kills this Cyberman by tearing open its breathing apparatus, while the Doctor and Jamie refreeze the others in their cells. Hopper's crew have repaired the ship, and the Doctor rewires the controls to the station so they can't be used. He then sets up a circuit to electrify the doors again, along with the control panels and the hatch. The Controller, still alive, lurches for them. Everyone tries to shut the outer doors using insulating poles, but the Controller is too strong. Toberman comes forward, pushes the others aside and uses his bare hands to shut the doors. He succeeds, completing the circuit, and both he and the Controller are electrocuted. The Doctor and his companions say goodbye to the expedition members who return to their rocket leaving the Doctor, Jamie and Victoria at the tomb. As they prepare to leave, Jamie asks if they've seen the last of the Cybermen. The Doctor replies that "I never like to make predictions". As they leave the scene, they fail to see a lone Cybermat, having survived, approaching Toberman's cybernetic corpse. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Tomb of the Cybermen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
