Doctor Who (TV Series)

A Town Called Mercy (2012)

Roberto Cavazos: Walter

Quotes 

• Walter : We don't got any ill feeling towards the doc, we just thinking about our families. Hand him over and we all safe again.

  The Doctor : You know I can't do that.

  Walter : [pulling his coat aside to reveal his gun]  Then we got us a problem.

  The Doctor : Please don't do this.

  Walter : Why? Reckon you're quicker than me?

  The Doctor : Oh, most certainly not, but this? Lynch mobs? The town turning against itself? This is everything Isaac didn't want.

  [Walter draws his gun and stares down the Doctor] 

  The Doctor : How old are you?

  Walter : Nearly nineteen.

  The Doctor : [slowly moves forward]  That's eighteen, then. Too young to have fought in the war, so I'm guessing you've never shot anyone before, have you?

  Walter : [cocks the gun]  First time for everything.

  The Doctor : But that's how all this started. Jex turned someone into a weapon. Now that same story's going to make you into a killer, too. Don't you see? Violence doesn't end violence, it extends it.

  [Walter hesitates] 

  The Doctor : Now I don't think you want to do this. I don't think you want to become that man.

  Walter : There's kids here.

  The Doctor : I know... who I can save if you'll let me.

  Walter : [nods toward the jailhouse]  He really worth the risk?

  The Doctor : Don't know. But you are.

  [Walter pauses a few moments, then lowers his gun, and the mob quietly disperses] 

  The Doctor : [to himself]  Frightened people. Give me a Dalek any day.
