narration:And it 's too much . Toby snaps , spinning around ... and it stops . The voice is gone and the room is deserted . Toby breathes a sigh of relief , but is nevertheless confused and perturbed . The lights flicker out in the corridor . Toby suddenly pauses and looks down at his gloved hands , as though he has felt something . He turns them over , looking at them . He puts down the broken pieces of the artifact he was studying and pulls the gloves off , looking at the back of his hands , which are quite normal . But then , he turns them around , looking at his palms . They are covered with the ancient symbols , as though it has been stained into his skin . He stands in shock , staring at them . He picks up a mirror from his desk and looks at his face - not only has that now broken out in the ancient symbols , but his eyes have turned red . He looks at himself with horror , then throws the mirror back down onto the desk . His whole body arches as though he is in pain , and he falls to his knees . Then he falls forwards , unconscious , on the floor .

Doctor Who:「They were grown , not built . And with my own planet gone ... we 're kind of stuck .」
ROSE ( consolingly , trying to keep the tone light ):「Well , it could be worse . This lot said they 'd give us a lift .」
Doctor Who:「And then what ?」
ROSE:「I dunno ... find a planet ... get a job ... live a life , same as the rest of the universe .」

Doctor Who:「Yeah , sorry , straight to business , the Ood , how do they communicate ? I mean , with each other .」
narration:The Ood are sat in an area below them in what looks almost like an animal - pen . A balcony looks over this area and there are steps from there .
DANNY ( shrugging ):「Oh , just empaths . There 's a low level telepathic field connecting them . Not that that does them much good . They 're basically a herd race . Like cattle .」
Doctor Who:「This telepathic field , can it pick up messages ?」
ROSE:「'Cos I was having dinner , and one of the Ood said something ... well , odd .」
DANNY:「Oh . An odd Ood .」
ROSE:「And then I got something else on my er ... ( She glances at the Doctor ) communicator thing .」
DANNY:「Oh , be fair . We 've got whole star systems burning up around us . There 's all sorts of stray transmissions . Probably nothing .」
narration:The Doctor and Rose stare at him , far from convinced .


DANNY (  ):「Look ... if there was something wrong , it would show . We monitor the telepathic field . It 's the only way to look after them . They 're so stupid , they do n't even tell us when they 're ill .」
THE DOCTOR ( nodding to the computer ):「Monitor the field , that 's this thing ?」
narration:The reading on the screen says " Basic 5 " .
DANNY:「Yeah . But like I said , it 's low level telepathy . They only register Basic 5 .」

ROSE:「Doctor , the Ood ...」
narration:The Ood turn , as one , and look up at the three of them on the balcony .
ROSE:「What does Basic 30 mean ?」


DANNY ( baffled ):「Well , it means that they 're shouting , screaming inside their heads .」
THE DOCTOR ( quietly ):「Or something 's shouting at them ...」
DANNY ( tapping on the keyboard ):「But ... where 's it coming from ? What is it saying ? I mean ... ( He looks at Rose ) . What did it say to you ?」
ROSE:「Something about the beast in the pit .」
DANNY ( blinks ):「What about your communicator ? What did that say ?」
ROSE ( after a pause ):「He is awake .」
OOD ( as one ):「And you will worship him .」

 EXT . THE PIT
 The Doctor shines his torch on the wall of the underground cavern , there are crude drawings of a horned beast and tiny stick figures surrounding it .
Doctor Who:「History of some big battle . Man against Beast . I dunno if you 're getting this , Ida . Hope so . Anyway , they defeated the Beast and imprisoned it .」


narration:The light of his torch falls on what looks like a large vase on a stand . Surprised , he turns the torch light back on the symbols of people carrying the vase on their heads . He approaches the vase , there is another one in line with the first .
THE DOCTOR (  ):「Or maybe that 's the key ...」
narration:He touches the vase , and they both light up .

THE DOCTOR (  ):「But I do n't understand . I was expected down here . I was given a safe landing , and air . You need me for something . What for ?」
narration:The Beast lunges forwards , straining against the chains holding him .
THE DOCTOR (  ) ( completely out of his depth ):「Have I got to ... I dunno , beg an audience ? Or ... is there a ritual ? Some sort of incantation or summons or spell , all these things I do n't believe in , are they real ?」
narration:The Beast just looks at him .
THE DOCTOR (  ) ( loudly ):「Speak to me ! Tell me ! ( No reply ) . You wo n't talk . Or ... you ca n't talk . Hold on , hold on . Wait a minute , just let me ... ( He thinks hard ) . Oh ! No . Yes ! No ... think it through , you spoke before . I heard your voice . An intelligent voice . No , more than that , brilliant ! But , looking at you now ... all I can see ... ( The Beast growls ) is ... ( growl ) Beast . The animal . Just ... the body . You 're just the body , the physical form ! What 's happened to your mind ? Hmm ? Where 's it gone ? Where 's that intelligence ? ( He glances upwards as it dawns on him ) . Oh , no ...」

TOBY (  ):「Coordinates set for Planet Earth .」
narration:The corners of his mouth twitch upwards in an unpleasant smile .
 INT . THE PIT
 The Doctor shines his torch on the symbols covering the walls .
Doctor Who:「You 're imprisoned . Long time ago . Before the universe , after , sideways , in- between , does n't matter . The positioning is perfect . It 's absolutely ... it 's eternal . Oh , yes ! Open the prison , the gravity field collapses ! This planet falls into the black hole ! You escape , you die . Brilliant ! But that 's just the body . The body is trapped , that 's all . The devil is just an idea . In all those civilisations , just an idea . ( He pauses , edging forwards as he works it out ) . But an idea is hard to kill . An idea could escape . The mind , the mind of the great Beast , the mind can escape ! Oh , but that 's it ! You did n't give me air , your jailers did ! They set this up ! All those years ago ! They need me alive . Because if you 're escaping , then I 've got ta stop you .」


narration:The Beast roars in fury , straining against the chains . The Doctor picks up a rock .
THE DOCTOR (  ):「If I destroy your prison , your body is destroyed . Your mind with it .」
narration:He swings the rock over his head , ready to bring it crashing down on the vase , and then stops . He drops it .
THE DOCTOR (  ):「But then you 're clever enough to use this whole system against me . If I destroy this planet , I destroy the gravity field . The rocket . The rocket loses protection and falls into the black hole . I 'll have to sacrifice Rose .」
narration:He has a look of mild disgust on his face . The Beast laughs mirthlessly .
 INT . ROCKET
ROSE ( thinking ):「It does n't make sense . We escaped , but there 's a thousand ways it could 've killed us . It could 've ... ripped out the air or ... I dunno , burnt us , or anything . But it let us go . Why ? Unless it wanted us to escape ...」
TOBY:「Hey , Rose , do us a favour ... ( Nastily ) . Shut up .」
narration:Rose stares at him . He looks away .
TOBY (  ):「Almost there . We 'll be beyond the reach of the black hole in 40 ... 39 ...」
narration:EXT . THE PIT
Doctor Who:「So , that 's the trap . Or the test or the final judgment , I do n't know . But if I kill you , I kill her .」


narration:The Beast laughs , then roars at him .
THE DOCTOR (  ):「Except that implies , in this big grand scheme of Gods and Devils , that she 's just a victim . But I 've seen a lot of this universe . I 've seen fake gods and bad gods and demi gods and would - be gods , out of all that , out of that whole pantheon , if I believe in one thing ... just one thing ... ( with passion ) I believe in her .」
narration:And with that , he picks up the rock and smashes the vase .

TOBY:「What 's he doing ? What is he doing ?」
ZACH:「We 've lost the funnel ! Gravity collapse !」

TOBY ( in the Voice of the Beast ):「I am the rage ...」

narration:Rose points the gun at the front window .
ROSE ( darkly ):「Go to hell .」
narration:She fires , shattering the glass , she undoes Toby 's seatbelt and he is sucked through the window and into outer space , headed straight for the black hole . He roars in fear and anger .
ZACH:「Emergency shield !」
narration:He presses a button and the emergency shield activates , covering the gaping hole . The rocket continues to shake and shudder , headed towards the black hole .
ZACH (  ):「We 've still lost the gravity funnel . We ca n't escape the black hole !」

narration:EXT . BUILDING SITE
 A man , standing in a disused building site , sees a faint shape in the distance . He looks quickly around him , then runs frantically up a hill , presumably following the faint sound of the TARDIS engines . He reaches the top , panting , and comes across a series of deserted but identical outbuildings , looking very run - down , with the TARDIS parked in the middle of it all , looking extremely out of place and unusual .

There is a moment of silence and stillness during which Elton stares on in shock , a Scooby Doo style chase scene takes place , with the Doctor , Rose and the monster all screaming , yelling and running haphazardly though three long corridors running at right angles to the main one in which Elton is standing there , watching in complete bewilderment . The monster chases the Doctor one way , Rose the other , then both of them , until Rose turns on the monster with a red bucket , chasing him in one direction and then the other , the Doctor now following , until he stops , notices Elton , and then ...
THE DOCTOR (  ) ( confused ):「Hold on ... do n't I know you ?」
