Doctor Who:「Hold on . I can understand the bodies . I can understand your vows . But one thing I ca n't understand ... what have you done to Rose ?」
NOVICE HAME:「I do n't know what you mean .」
THE DOCTOR ( deadly quiet ):「And I 'm being very , very calm . You wanna beware of that ... very , very calm . And the only reason I 'm being so very , very calm is that the brain is a delicate thing . Whatever you 've done to Rose 's head , I want it reversed .」
NOVICE HAME:「We have n't done anything .」

CASSANDRA - CHIP:「Well , that would be rather dramatic . Possibly my finest hour . And certainly my finest hat .」
narration:The Doctor and Rose glance at each other .


CASSANDRA - CHIP (  ):「But I 'm afraid we do n't have time . Poor little Chip is only a half - life . And he 's been through so much . His heart is racing so . He 's failing . I do n't think he 's going to last ...」

 EXT . TORCHWOOD HOUSE
 A procession of Monks walk into the yard of an old house . A man , the Steward , notices Father Angelo walking towards him , taking his hood off . He goes to meet him .
THE STEWARD:「Come now , Father . You should know better . You 're not welcome here , and especially not today . I 've got no time to start old arguments .」
FATHER ANGELO:「We want only one thing .」
THE STEWARD:「And what would that be ?」
FATHER ANGELO ( looking up at it ):「This house .」
THE STEWARD ( following his gaze ):「You want the house ?」
FATHER ANGELO:「We will take the house .」
THE STEWARD ( sarcastically ):「Would you like my wife while you 're at it ?」
FATHER ANGELO:「If you wo n't stand aside , then we 'll take it by force .」
THE STEWARD ( skeptically ):「By what power ? The Hand of God ?」
FATHER ANGELO:「No . The Fist of Man .」

THE STEWARD (  ) ( urgently ):「Father , answer me . What 's in there ?」

narration:He and the Monks rip the tarpaulin off the cage and the prisoners scream .
 OPENING CREDITS
 INT . TARDIS
 Inside the TARDIS , the Doctor appears holding a CD , whilst Rose finishes zipping her bag up and shoves it out of the way . She stands , showing the Doctor what she is wearing
 a rather short dungaree skirt
 .
ROSE:「What do you think of this ? Will it do ?」
Doctor Who:「In the late 1970s ? You 'd be better off in a bin bag . Hold on , listen to this .」
narration:He bungs the CD in the player and ' Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick ' by Ian Dury and the Blockheads blares out .
THE DOCTOR (  ) ( wandering around the controls ):「Ian Dury and the Blockheads . Number One in 1979 .」
ROSE:「You 're a Punk !」
THE DOCTOR ( singing along ):「It 's good to be a lunatic ...」
ROSE:「That 's what you are . A big old Punk with a bit of Rockabillly thrown in .」
Doctor Who:「Would you like to see him ?」
ROSE ( mouth open ):「How 'd you mean ? In concert ?」


Doctor Who:「What else is a TARDIS for ?」
narration:They 're doing a funky little dance around the console .
THE DOCTOR (  ):「I can take you to the Battle of Trafalgar ... the first anti - gravity Olympics ... Caesar crossing the Rubicon ... or ... Ian Dury at the Top Rank , Sheffield , England , Earth , 21st November , 1979 . What do you think ?」
ROSE:「Sheffield it is !」
Doctor Who:「Hold on tight .」
narration:He pulls a lever and they both lurch forward as the TARDIS shudders and spins through the Vortex . The Doctor whacks the console with a hammer to the beat of the music , shouting .
ROSE:「Stop !」
narration:The movement stops and they both fall on the floor , laughing their heads off .
THE DOCTOR ( standing up ):「1979 . Hell of a year !」
narration:He pulls Rose to her feet and they bound towards the doors .
THE DOCTOR (  ) ( grabbing his jacket ):「China invades Vietnam ... The Muppet Movie ! Love that film . Margaret Thatcher ... urgh ... Skylab falls to Earth ... with a little help from me ... nearly took off my thumb .」


narration:EXT . FIELD SOMEWHERE IN SCOTLAND
 The Doctor steps out of the doors , Rose behind him .
THE DOCTOR (  ):「I like my thumb . I need my thumb . I 'm very attached to ...」
narration:He falters as he notices that they are surrounded by Scottish soldiers on all sides , guns raised . He puts his hands up and Rose follows suit .
THE DOCTOR (  ):「... my thumb .」
narration:The guns click ominously .
THE DOCTOR ( with realization ):「1879 . Same difference .」
CAPTAIN REYNOLDS:「You will explain your presence . And the nakedness of this girl .」
narration:Rose looks down at herself .
THE DOCTOR ( Scottish accent ):「Are we in Scotland ?」
CAPTAIN REYNOLDS:「How can you be ignorant of that ?」
Doctor Who:「Oh , I 'm ... I 'm dazed and confused . I 've been chasing this ... this wee naked child over hill and over dale . In't that right , ya ... timorous beastie ?」
ROSE ( with an absolutely hilariously terrible attempt at a Scottish accent ):「Ooch , aye ! I 've been oot and aboot .」
Doctor Who:「No , do n't do that .」


ROSE:「Hoots mon !」
Doctor Who:「No , really do n't . Really .」
CAPTAIN REYNOLDS:「Will you identify yourself , sir ?」
Doctor Who:「I 'm Doctor James McCrimmon . From the ... Township of Balamory . Eh ... I have my credentials , if I may ...」
narration:He gestures towards his pocket and the Captain nods . They both lower their hands whilst he fumbles in his pocket and produces the psychic paper . He shows it to them .
THE DOCTOR (  ):「As you can see , a Doctorate from the University of Edinburgh . I trained under Doctor Bell himself .」
A WOMAN ( from the carriage ):「Let them approach .」
CAPTAIN REYNOLDS ( still suspicious ):「I do n't think that 's wise , ma'am .」
THE WOMAN:「Let them approach .」
narration:The Doctor gestures towards the carriage , the Captain has no choice but to let them approach .
CAPTAIN REYNOLDS:「You will approach the carriage . And show all due deference .」
narration:The Doctor does an ' aye aye , Captain ' sort of signal , and he and Rose approach the carriage . One of the footmen opens the door to reveal Queen Victoria .


Doctor Who:「Rose ... might I introduce her Majesty Queen Victoria . Empress of India and Defender of the Faith .」
ROSE ( curtseying ):「Rose Tyler , Ma'am . And my apologies ... for being so naked .」
narration:She laughs nervously .
QUEEN VICTORIA:「I 've had five daughters . It 's nothing to me . But you , Doctor ... show me these credentials .」
narration:The Doctor obligingly hands the psychic paper over , and the Queen studies it for a moment .
QUEEN VICTORIA (  ):「Why did n't you say so immediately ? It states clearly here that you have been appointed by the Lord Provost as my Protector .」
Doctor Who:「Does it ? Yes , it does ! Good ! Good ! Um .. then let me ask ... Why is Your Majesty travelling by road when there 's a train all the way to Aberdeen ?」
QUEEN VICTORIA:「A tree on the line .」
Doctor Who:「An accident ?」
QUEEN VICTORIA:「I am the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland . Everything around me tends to be planned .」
Doctor Who:「An assassination attempt ?」
ROSE:「What , seriously ? There 's people out to kill ya ?」


QUEEN VICTORIA:「I 'm quite used to staring down the barrel of a gun .」
CAPTAIN REYNOLDS ( on his horse , behind them ):「Sir Robert MacLeish lives but ten miles hence . We 'll send word ahead , he 'll shelter us for tonight , then we can reach Balmoral tomorrow .」
QUEEN VICTORIA:「This Doctor and his ... timorous beastie will come with us .」
CAPTAIN REYNOLDS:「Yes , Ma'am . We 'd better get moving , it 's almost nightfall .」
QUEEN VICTORIA:「Indeed . And there are stories of wolves in these parts . Fanciful tales intended to scare the children . But good for the blood , I think . Drive on !」
narration:Rose grins at the Doctor and they go on their way . Rose and the Doctor walk behind the carriage .
ROSE:「It 's funny though , 'cos you say " assassination " and you just think of Kennedy and stuff . Not her .」
Doctor Who:「1879 ... she 's had ... oo ... six attempts on her life ? And I 'll tell you something else」
ROSE ( excitedly ):「I know !」
Doctor Who:「What a laugh !」
ROSE:「She was just sitting there !」


Doctor Who:「Like a stamp .」
ROSE:「I want her to say ( She puts on an affected upper - classed accent )」
Doctor Who:「Well , if I gambled on that , it 'd be an abuse of my privileges of traveller in time .」
ROSE:「... Ten quid ?」
Doctor Who:「Done .」

SIR ROBERT:「She 's ... indisposed , I 'm afraid . She 's gone to Edinburgh for the season . And she 's taken the cook with her , the kitchens are barely stocked ... I would n't blame Your Majesty if you wanted to ride on .」
narration:The Doctor cocks his head to one side , watching him , recognizing that Sir Robert would rather the Queen stayed away .
QUEEN VICTORIA ( cheerfully ):「Oh , not at all ! I 've had quite enough carriage exercise . And this is ... charming . If rustic . It 's my first visit to this house . My late husband spoke of it often . The Torchwood Estate . Now , shall we go inside ?」
narration:Sir Robert is evidently reluctant , but the Queen does not notice .
QUEEN VICTORIA (  ):「And please excuse the naked girl .」
ROSE:「Sorry .」
Doctor Who:「She 's a feral child . I bought her for sixpence in old London Town . It was her or the Elephant Man , so ...」
ROSE:「Thinks he 's funny but I 'm so not amused .」
narration:She looks pointedly at Queen Victoria .
ROSE (  ):「What do you think , Ma'am ?」
QUEEN VICTORIA:「It hardly matters . Shall we proceed ?」

THE DOCTOR ( interested ):「What 's in there , then ?」
CAPTAIN REYNOLDS:「Property of the Crown . You will dismiss any further thoughts , sir .」

CAPTAIN REYNOLDS (  ):「The rest of you go to the rear of the house . Assume your designated positions .」

 who are disguised as household staff
 . There is what looks like an enormous telescope in the middle of the room .
QUEEN VICTORIA:「This , I take it , is the famous Endeavour .」
SIR ROBERT:「All my father 's work . Built by hand in his final years . Became something of an obsession ... he spent his money on this rather than caring for the house or himself .」
THE DOCTOR ( smiling ):「I wish I 'd met him , I like him . That thing 's beautiful . Can I um ... ?」
narration:He gestures towards it .
SIR ROBERT:「Help yourself .」
narration:The Doctor and Rose move forward to examine the telescope and the wheel next to it .
Doctor Who:「What did he model it on ?」


SIR ROBERT:「I know nothing about it . To be honest , most of us thought him a little ... shall we say , eccentric .」
narration:The Doctor gives a dopey laugh .
SIR ROBERT (  ):「I wish now I 'd spent more time with him . And listened to his stories .」
narration:He glances at the Queen .
THE DOCTOR ( peering through it ):「It 's a bit rubbish .」
narration:Rose turns , grinning .
THE DOCTOR (  ):「How many prisms has it got ? Way too many . The magnification 's gone right over the top , that 's stupid kind of a ... ( Quietly , to Rose )」
ROSE:「Yep .」
THE DOCTOR ( quickly ):「But it 's pretty ! It 's very ... pretty .」
narration:Rose pats him fondly on the arm .
QUEEN VICTORIA:「And the imagination of it should be applauded .」
ROSE:「Mm ! Thought you might disapprove , Your Majesty . Stargazing . Is n't that a bit fanciful ?」
narration:Queen Victoria stares at her .
ROSE (  ):「You could easily ... not be amused , or something ... ? No ?」
QUEEN VICTORIA:「This device surveys the infinite work of God .」
narration:The Doctor shakes his head at Rose with a vague smile on his face .
QUEEN VICTORIA (  ):「What could be finer ? Sir Robert 's father was an example to us all . A polymath . Steeped in astronomy and sciences , yet equally well versed in folklore and fairytales .」
Doctor Who:「Stars and magic . I like him more and more .」


narration:He wanders around the telescope to examine it some more .
QUEEN VICTORIA:「Oh , my late husband enjoyed his company . ( To Rose )」
THE DOCTOR ( in Roses 's ear ):「That 's Bavaria .」
QUEEN VICTORIA ( turning to Sir Robert ):「When Albert was told about your local wolf , he was transported .」
Doctor Who:「So , what 's this wolf , then ?」
SIR ROBERT:「It 's just a story .」
Doctor Who:「Then tell it .」
narration:Sir Robert glances around at Father Angelo very uncomfortably .
SIR ROBERT ( haltingly ):「It 's said that ...」
FATHER ANGELO:「Excuse me , sir . Perhaps her Majesty 's party could repair to their rooms . It 's almost dark .」
SIR ROBERT:「Of course . Yes , of course .」
QUEEN VICTORIA:「And then supper . And ... could we find some clothes for Miss Tyler ? I 'm tired of nakedness .」
ROSE ( pointedly ):「It 's not amusing , is it ?」
narration:Queen Victoria glances around at her and decides to ignore this comment and turns back to Sir Robert . The Doctor mutters something to Rose who pokes him in the chest .


QUEEN VICTORIA:「Sir Robert , your wife must 've left some clothes . See to it . We shall dine at seven . And talk some more of this wolf . After all ... there is a full moon tonight .」

FATHER ANGELO ( to the Doctor ):「Your companion begs an apology , Doctor . Her clothing has somewhat delayed her .」
Doctor Who:「Oh , that 's all right . Save her a wee bit of ham .」
QUEEN VICTORIA:「The feral child could probably eat it raw .」
CAPTAIN REYNOLDS ( laughing ):「Very wise , Ma'am ! Very witty !」
QUEEN VICTORIA ( staring at him appraisingly ):「Slightly witty , perhaps . I know you rarely get the chance to dine with me , Captain , but do n't get too excited ... I shall contain my wit in case I do you further injury .」

Doctor Who:「You must miss him . QUEEN VICTORIA ( looking at the Doctor )」
narration:She seems to be lost in her thoughts , very sad .
QUEEN VICTORIA (  ):「Oh , completely . And that 's the charm of a ghost story , is n't it ? Not the scares and chills , that 's just for children , but the ... hope of some contact with the great beyond .」
narration:The Doctor is looking at her intensely .
QUEEN VICTORIA (  ):「We all want some message from that place ... it 's the Creator 's greatest mystery that we are allowed no such consolation . The dead stay silent . And we must wait .」
narration:She shrugs herself out of this line of though , but the Doctor remains solemn , looking down as he is probably remembering his own people .

SIR ROBERT:「The story goes back three hundred years . Every full moon , the howling rings through the valley . The next morning , livestock is found ripped apart and ... devoured .」

narration:INT . TORCHWOOD CELLAR
ROSE:「All right ... so the body 's human ... but what about you ? The thing inside ?」
THE HOST:「So far from home .」
ROSE:「If you wanna get back home , we can help .」

ROSE:「How would you do that ?」

QUEEN VICTORIA:「Perhaps they thought his work ungodly .」
SIR ROBERT:「That 's what I thought . But now I wonder ... what if they had a different reason for wanting the story kept quiet ?」
It comes to the Doctor 's attention that Father Angelo is stood by the window , chanting in Latin under his breath , the same phrase , over and over again:「" lupus deus est " .」

THE DOCTOR ( watching Father Angelo , the penny dropping ... ):「And what if they were with us right now ?」

ROSE:「The Queen , the Crown , the throne ... you name it .」
narration:There is a thumping sound from the direction of the cellar and they both look around . The Doctor ventures out into the corridor to investigate . The wolf has managed to knock down the door and is stood at the other end of the corridor .

narration:The Doctor dashes off somewhere .


QUEEN VICTORIA (  ):「I heard such terrible noises .」
SIR ROBERT:「Your Majesty , we 've got to get out . But what of Father Angelo ? Is he still here ?」
QUEEN VICTORIA:「Captain Reynolds disposed of him .」
THE DOCTOR ( coming back ):「The front door 's no good , it 's been boarded shut . Pardon me , Your Majesty , you 'll have to leg it out of a window .」
narration:He gestures through a door and Queen Victoria obliges with her head held high . Sir Robert follows and they find themselves in another upstairs room .
SIR ROBERT:「Excuse my manners , Ma'am , but I shall go first , the better to assist Her Majesty 's egress .」
QUEEN VICTORIA:「A noble sentiment , my Sir Walter Raleigh .」
THE DOCTOR ( impatiently ):「Yeah , any chance you could hurry up ?」
narration:Sir Robert climbs onto the window sill and has to immediately dodge out of the way as he is shot at by the Monks standing outside . The Doctor stares out of the window , eyes wide .
THE DOCTOR (  ):「I reckon the monkey boys want us to stay inside .」
QUEEN VICTORIA:「Do they know who I am ? ?」

THE DOCTOR (  ):「Come on ! Come on !」
narration:Having reached the top of the stairs , they run through the corridors , the wolf close on their tails . It is nearly upon them , ready to pounce when Captain Reynolds appears holding a gun . He shoots and the wolf reels backwards down the corridor . The Captain ducks behind the corridor where they others are standing , out of breath .
CAPTAIN REYNOLDS:「I 'll take this position and hold it . You keep moving , for God 's sake ! Your Majesty , I went to look for the property , it was taken . The chest was empty .」


QUEEN VICTORIA:「I have it . It 's safe .」
CAPTAIN REYNOLDS:「Then remove yourself , Ma'am . Doctor , you stand as Her Majesty 's Protector . And you , Sir Robert , you 're a traitor to the crown .」

narration:The wolf howls into the silence .
THE DOCTOR (  ):「It 's stopped .」

THE DOCTOR (  ):「It 's gone .」

ROSE:「Listen ...」
narration:The Doctor climbs quietly down from the chair and there is dead silence in the library as they follow the wolf 's progress around the room , absolutely terrified . The Queen is shaking violently .
THE DOCTOR ( whispers ):「Is this the only door ?」
SIR ROBERT:「Yes . No !」
narration:And he dashes to the other door with the Doctor and they barricade it shut .
ROSE:「Shh !」
narration:Rose silences them . They look around uneasily as they hear the sounds the werewolf is making , and then it stops . Footsteps pad away into the distance .
ROSE (  ):「I do n't understand . What 's stopping it ?」
Doctor Who:「Something inside this room .」


narration:Sir Robert sits on one of the chairs barricading his door and puts his head in his hands .
THE DOCTOR (  ) ( confused ):「What is it ? Why ca n't it get in ?」
ROSE:「I 'll tell you what , though ...」

ROSE:「I 'm okay , yeah !」

SIR ROBERT ( from behind them ):「I 'm sorry , Ma'am . It 's all my fault . I should 've sent you away . I tried to suggest something was wrong , I ... thought you might notice . Did you think there was nothing strange about my household staff ?」
Doctor Who:「Well , they were bald , athletic ... your wife 's away , I just thought you were happy .」
ROSE:「I 'll tell you what though , Ma'am , I bet you 're not amused now .」
QUEEN VICTORIA ( angrily ):「Do you think this is funny ?」
ROSE ( meekly ):「No , Ma'am , I 'm sorry .」


QUEEN VICTORIA:「What , exactly , I pray someone please , what exactly is that creature ?」
THE DOCTOR ( scratching his head ):「You 'd call it a werewolf , but technically it 's a more of a lupine wavelength haemovariform .」
QUEEN VICTORIA:「And should I trust you , sir ? You who change your voice so easily ? What happened to your accent ?」
narration:For the Doctor has accidentally dropped his Scottish accent .
THE DOCTOR ( realising ):「Oh ... right , sorry ...」
QUEEN VICTORIA:「I 'll not have it . No , sir , not you ... not that thing ... none of it . This is not my world .」

THE DOCTOR ( thinking out loud ):「On the other door , too ... a carving would n't be enough ... I wonder ...」
narration:He licks the woodwork .
THE DOCTOR (  ):「Viscum album , the oil of the mistletoe , it 's been worked into the wood like a varnish ! How clever was your dad ? ? I love him ! ( To Rose )」
ROSE:「And the wolf 's allergic to it ?」
Doctor Who:「Well , it thinks it is . The monkey monk monks need a way of controlling the wolf , maybe they trained it to react against certain things .」
SIR ROBERT:「Nevertheless , that creature wo n't give up , Doctor , and we still do n't possess an actual weapon .」
Doctor Who:「Oh , your father got all the brains , did n't he ?」
ROSE:「Being rude again .」
Doctor Who:「Good . I meant that one .」

SIR ROBERT ( flicking through ):「... some form of explosive ...」
Doctor Who:「Hmm , that 's the sort of thing . Ooh ...」

THE DOCTOR (  ):「Look what your old dad found . Something fell to Earth .」
narration:On the open page there is an illustration of a rock falling to Earth from the sky . Rose and Sir Robert gather around .
ROSE:「A spaceship ?」
SIR ROBERT:「A shooting star . ( Reading )」
ROSE:「But that 's over three hundred years ago . What 's it been waiting for ?」
Doctor Who:「Maybe just a single cell survived . Adapting slowly down the generations . It survived through the humans . Host after host after host .」
SIR ROBERT:「But why does it want the throne ?」
ROSE:「That 's what it wants . It said so , the ... the Empire of the Wolf .」
THE DOCTOR ( with foreboding ):「Imagine it ... the Victorian Age accelerated ... starships and missiles fueled by coal and driven by steam ... leaving history devastated in its wake ...」
QUEEN VICTORIA ( standing ):「Sir Robert !」
narration:Sir Robert goes to her .
QUEEN VICTORIA (  ):「If I am to die here ...」
SIR ROBERT:「Do n't say that , Your Majesty .」


QUEEN VICTORIA:「I would destroy myself rather than let that creature infect me . But that 's no matter . I ask only that you find some place of safekeeping for something far older and more precious than myself .」
narration:She opens her bag .
THE DOCTOR ( from the table ):「Hardly the time to worry about your valuables .」
QUEEN VICTORIA:「Thank you for your opinion . But there is nothing more valuable than this .」
narration:And she takes the Koh - I - Noor from her bag and holds it in the palm of her hand .
ROSE ( amazed ):「Is that the Koh - I - Noor ?」
Doctor Who:「Oh , yes ... the greatest diamond in the world .」
narration:The Doctor and Rose shuffle forward for a closer look .
QUEEN VICTORIA:「Given to me as the spoils of war . Perhaps its legend is now coming true . It is said that whoever owns it must surely die .」
Doctor Who:「Well , that 's true of anything if you own it long enough . Can I ... ?」
narration:He holds out his hand for the diamond . Queen Victoria gives it to him . He pushes his glasses down his nose to look at it closely . Rose prods it , eyes wide .
THE DOCTOR (  ):「That is so beautiful .」


ROSE:「How much is that worth ?」
Doctor Who:「They say ... the wages of the entire planet for a whole week .」
ROSE ( peering at it ):「Good job my mum 's not here . She 'd be fighting the wolf off with her bare hands for that thing .」
Doctor Who:「And she 'd win .」
narration:Rose laughs .
SIR ROBERT:「Where is the wolf ? ( He walks away ) . I do n't trust this silence .」
THE DOCTOR ( of the diamond ):「Why do you travel with it ?」
QUEEN VICTORIA:「My annual pilgrimage . I 'm taking it to Helier and Carew . The Royal Jewellers at Hazelhead . The stone needs recutting .」
ROSE:「Oh , but it 's perfect .」
QUEEN VICTORIA:「My late husband never thought so .」
THE DOCTOR ( removing his glasses ):「Now , there 's a fact , Prince Albert kept on having the Koh - I - Noor cut down . It used to be forty percent bigger than this . But he was never happy . Kept on cutting and cutting .」
QUEEN VICTORIA:「He always said ... the shine was not quite right . But he died with it still unfinished .」


THE DOCTOR ( with realization ):「Unfinished ... oh , yes !」
narration:He tosses the Koh - I - Noor back to Queen Victoria , who catches it .
THE DOCTOR (  ) ( very fast , working it out ):「There 's a lot of unfinished business in this house . His father 's research , your husband , Ma'am , he came here and he sought the perfect diamond , hold on , hold on ... ( He ruffles his hair violently in his eagerness to work it out ) . All these separate things , they 're not separate at all , they 're connected ! Oh , my head , my head ! What if , this house , it 's a trap for you , is that right , Ma'am ?」
QUEEN VICTORIA:「Obviously .」
Doctor Who:「At least , that 's what the wolf intended . But ! What if there 's a trap inside the trap ?」
QUEEN VICTORIA:「Explain yourself , Doctor .」
Doctor Who:「What if his father and your husband were n't just telling each other stories . They dared to imagine all this was true . And they planned against it . Laying the real trap not for you ... but for the wolf .」


narration:A fine sprinkling of plaster falls from the ceiling . They all look up , and the werewolf is walking over the glass dome above their heads , looking down at them and growling .

Doctor Who:「Come on !」
narration:They set off at run again down the corridor .
SIR ROBERT:「The observatory 's this way !」
narration:They reach the central staircase and hurry up it as fast as they can but the werewolf is recovering and soon returns to the chase . They finally arrive at the observatory , the Doctor in the lead .

ROSE:「You said this thing does n't work !」

ROSE:「But there 's no electricity !」
narration:The Doctor grunts and turns to the light chamber .
ROSE ( she works it out ):「Moonlight ! But it needs moonlight ! It 's made by moonlight !」

narration:The Light Chamber finally starts to align with the moon .
THE DOCTOR (  ):「Come on !」


narration:At last it is properly aligned . Rose and the Doctor step away from the gears as the moonlight bounces off the prisms . Just as the Werewolf breaks through the door , the light spews forth from the end of the light chamber onto the floor far short of the werewolf . The werewolf advances on the Queen but the doctor dives across the floor and throws the Koh - I - Noor into the beam of light . A fantastic , prismatic beam of light hits the werewolf . He is lifted off the floor and hangs there , caught in the wash of moonlight . As they look on , the werewolf retakes human form .
THE HOST ( quietly ):「Make it brighter . Let me go .」
narration:The Doctor slowly walks across to the light chamber and flicks a switch . With a final howl from the wolf form , the creature vanishes and the light shuts off .

Doctor Who:「Your Majesty ? Did it bite you ?」
QUEEN VICTORIA:「No , it 's ... it 's a cut .」
Doctor Who:「If that thing bit you ...」
QUEEN VICTORIA:「It was a splinter of wood when the door came apart .」
